Findings:
Tentative Tract Map, CT 14-03
1. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable
specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map
Act, and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the proposed one lot tentative
tract map for six (6) air-space condominiums subdivision satisfies all minimum requirements
of Titles 20 and 21 with respect to public facilities, access and parking. A Standards
Modification is required to reduce the front yard setback from 15 to 10 feet. The findings for
approval to support this modification can be made.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since the
surrounding properties are developed, are currently designated as Village (V) in the General
Plan and are located in Land Use District 8, Residential Support Area and Land Use District 7,
Office Support Area, of the Village Master Plan. The subject property is bordered by a
professional office use to the north, a single-family home to the south, and a mixture of multi-
family and single-family uses to the east and west. Pursuant to the Land Use District 8 of the
Village Master Plan, the intent is to provide for a relatively dense urban residential
neighborhood which is compatible with the Village scale and character. Given the proposed
density and design, the proposed project meets the intent of Land Use District 8.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed,
in that the Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation allows residential development in
Land Use District 8 of the Village Master Plan at a density range of 18 to 23 dwelling units per
acre. Based on a lot size (net) of 0.26 acres, the proposed six (6)-unit residential air space
condominium project has a density of 21.43 dwelling units per acre. As the proposed project
falls within the allowable density range, the project is consistent with this finding.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements
of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for
access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the developer has
delineated and preserved on the tentative map, all existing easements of record.
5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation
Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the proposed multi-family
residential units have an east-west orientation thereby allowing for passive or natural solar
heating and cooling opportunities.
7. That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing proposed by this
subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs against the
public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental resources in that the
project is conditioned to require the payment of the applicable in-lieu housing fee for six units
prior to recordation of the final map.

8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat,
in that the subject infill lot is devoid of sensitive vegetation and any natural water features;
therefore, the proposed project does not impact any fish, wildlife or habitat.
9. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing California
Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has been designed in
accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality protection in accordance
with the City’s sewer and drainage standards and the project is conditioned to comply with
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements.
10. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that primary access to the site will be provided by a 20-
foot-wide driveway off of Madison Street. The proposed project will generate a total of 36
Average Daily Trips (ADTs) for the high density multi-family land use. In addition, the
proposed project would not result in any significant capacity-related impacts to any road
segments or intersections in the vicinity of the project site.
Major Review Permit, RP 14-16
11. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the City’s General Plan, Village Review Zone, and the Village Master Plan and
Design Manual, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated February 4, 2015,
including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use. The proposed project, which includes the construction of six (6) multi-
family residential air-space condominiums, will enhance the vitality of the Village,
specifically Land Use District 8 (Residential Support Area), by providing new
residential land uses in close proximity to the downtown core area as well as the train
station. The project reinforces the pedestrian-orientation desired for the downtown
area by providing the residents an opportunity to walk to shopping, recreation, and
mass transit functions. The project’s proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit
will help to further the goal of providing new economic development near
transportation corridors. Further, the proposed project contributes towards the
overall goal of creating a dense urban residential neighborhood with Village scale and
character. By providing more residential opportunities, the project also helps to
create a lively, interesting social environment by encouraging and increasing the
opportunity for 24-hour life in the Village, which provides the necessary customer
base to attract complementary commercial and community uses. In summary, the
residential project will contribute towards the revitalization of the Village area and
enhance the Village as a place for living.
b. Circulation. Madison Street as well as the nearby intersections can accommodate the
estimated 36 average daily trips (ADTs). In addition, all required public right-of-way
will be dedicated and improved to serve the development. The circulation has been
designed in relationship to the proposed residential land use and available parking.
Public facilities will be constructed to serve the proposed project. Further, the project
has been conditioned to develop and implement a program of “best management
practices” for the elimination and reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are
transported within storm drainage facilities.

c. Housing. The proposed project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General
Plan and the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, in that the proposed project has
been accordingly-conditioned to require the payment of an Affordable Housing In-Lieu
fee for each unit prior to recordation of the final map.
d. Noise. - The project site is primarily impacted by noise from the train which is located
approximately ½ mile the west of the project site. The proposed project is consistent
with the Noise Element of the General Plan in that the project will comply with the
city and state interior noise standards utilizing standard residential building
construction with mechanical ventilation.
e. Land Use District 8 Standards. With the exception to the front yard setback (10 feet
proposed instead of the required 15 feet), the proposed project has been designed to
comply with all other requirements pursuant to Land Use District 8 of the Village
Master Plan, including setbacks, open space, building height, lot coverage, and
parking. Findings for the Standards Modification to the front setback can be
supported and are included below.
Front Yard Setback Standards Modification, Land Use District 8, Village Master Plan
12. Pursuant to the Village Master Plan, modifications to the development standards, including
setbacks, may be permitted in all land use districts of the Village Area for developments
where the applicant can provide acceptable evidence that a requested modification results in
good project design and/or other project features provide a benefit to the Village area. As
the proposed reduction in the front yard setback from 15 to 10 feet increases the building
coverage and still allows for landscaping and a porch in the front yard setback and the open
space requirements have been satisfied, staff supports the proposed modification to the front
yard setback. Further, siting units close to the project frontage in an urban setting such as the
Village is a desired project feature. Therefore, the modification can be supported.
City Council Policy No. 43, Allocation for Excess Dwelling Units
13. That pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85, for all residential development less than seven units,
the inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the payment of an
inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. The proposal to construct six (6) multi-family condominium
units has been conditioned to pay the applicable housing in-lieu fee for six units prior to
recordation of the final map.
14. That the project location and density are compatible with the existing adjacent residential
neighborhoods and/or nearby existing or planned uses in that the project is consistent with the
adjacent residential land uses and anticipated uses. Specifically, Land Use District 8 of the
Village Master Plan is intended to be developed as a relatively dense residential
neighborhood with Village scale and character.

15. That the project location and density are in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
General Plan and any other applicable planning document, in that the density range in Land
Use District 8 of the Village Master Plan is 18 to 23 dwelling units per acre. With a net
acreage of 0.26 acres, the proposed project has a density of 21.43 dwelling units per acre;
therefore, the proposed project density falls within the allowable range and contributes
towards the overall goal of creating a relatively dense residential neighborhood in Land Use
District 8. The proposed project is consistent with the intent of Land Use District 8 of the
Village Master Plan and will contribute towards the overall revitalization of the Village Area.
16. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank in the northwest
quadrant to remove 6 units. Per the city’s Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report (dated November
30, 2014), 2,080 units remain available for allocation city-wide, including the northwest
quadrant of the city.
California Environmental Quality Act:
17. The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development
project. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in
Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
General
18. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public policies and ordinances. The project
includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all
facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection and treatment; water; drainage;
circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries; government
administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new
development prior to or concurrent with need. Specifically,
a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School District
that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
b. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected
prior to the issuance of building permit.
c. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 1 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
19. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
20. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to
mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree
of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
