CASE NAME: DEHESA CHARTER SCHOOL CASE NO.: CUP 14-04 WHEREAS, Element Education, Inc., “Applicant” and Macquarie Poinsettia Incorporated, “Owner,” have filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as Lot 1 of Carlsbad Tract No. CT 04-11, Poinsettia Commons, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to map thereof No. 15593, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County on August 17, 2007, and the Certificate of Correction recorded December 28, 2009 as Instrument No. 2009-0716207 of Official Recorded EXCEPTING THEREFROM each Unit as shown on the Condominium Plan for 6797 Embarcadero Lane, recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, California, on May 13, 2011, as Document No. 2011-0249327 and any amendments thereto (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Conditional Use Permit as shown on Exhibits “A” – “J” dated April 1, 2015, on file in the Planning Division, DEHESA CHARTER SCHOOL – CUP 14-04, as provided by Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on April 1, 2015, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the CUP. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 7092 PC RESO NO. 7092 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES DEHESA CHARTER SCHOOL – CUP 14-04, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, in that the proposed 11,688 square foot, 220-student private school is proposed to be located within Planning Area 6 of the Poinsettia Properties Specific Plan (SP 210(A)). The General Plan as well as SP 210(A) recognize the need for transit-oriented uses and the proposed Pre-K through 12th grade school will provide an educational service which is located in close proximity to the employees of the businesses and residents within the Bluwater Crossing development, as well as the residents of the nearby residential communities. In addition, the proposed school is located near the Coaster Station and will encourage parents and employees of the school to utilize an alternate form of transportation which is an overarching goal of SP 210(A). Pursuant to SP 210(A), any use within Planning Area 6 of the Specific Plan area shall comply with the C-T zone, which implements the Travel/Recreation Commercial General Plan Land Use designation. Pursuant to the land use matrix in the C-T zone, the Dehesa Charter School is identified as an educational institution which is subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed private school is compatible with the surrounding businesses and residential uses and the proposed use will provide adequate parking that is consistent with the city’s parking requirements. Specifically, the proposed school will require less parking than the originally-anticipated retail and daycare uses for the ground floor of Building 1 in Planning Area 6 of SP 210(A). In addition, a noise study prepared for the project (Mestre Grave Associates, December, 2014) concluded that there would be no impacts to the existing residential units located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building in which the school is proposed to be located since there is a hallway, solid wall and doors located in between the units and the proposed playground. Furthermore, an existing six-foot-tall sound wall located around the perimeter of the development will attenuate any exterior noise generated by the proposed playground. The pick-up and drop- off times for the students will be staggered to reduce the amount of stacking that may occur in the morning when school begins or in the afternoon when instruction ends. Furthermore, the school is proposed to be located within an existing building and only tenant improvements and minor improvements to the exterior elevations are required to accommodate the use. 3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in PC RESO NO. 7092 -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 that the proposed school will occupy the vacant ground floor of an existing mixed-use building with existing onsite landscaping. A landscape plan is proposed for the development of the rear yard with a playground. An existing six-foot-tall noise wall along the rear perimeter of the development will assist in attenuating any noise associated with the playground and in screening the playground equipment from the street and adjacent multi-family residential development to the south. The playground equipment complies with the required setbacks and no additions are proposed to accommodate the proposed private school. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the required development standards of the C-T Zone and the Poinsettia Properties Specific Plan (SP 210(A)) and the proposed 11,688 square foot lease space is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed private school. A total of 10 parking stalls in front of the school are designated for limited-time parking to allow parents who need to come inside the school to pick up or drop off their children. In addition, the school will have traffic monitors outside to facilitate the traffic circulation when the school begins or ends. The Parking Management Plan (October, 2014) has been revised to address the change in use from retail and daycare to the proposed Pre-K through 12th grade school. 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that access to the school can be taken from a privately- maintained driveway (i.e. Embarcadero Lane) located off of Avenida Encinas. In addition, there is an existing round-about located in front of the proposed school to facilitate the circulation. To avoid the potential for a spillover of cars onto Avenida Encinas, parents with children attending the school will be required to use the southerly driveway entrance to the Bluwater Crossing development. A separate stacking lane is proposed and the start and end times for the various different grades are staggered to reduce the number of cars in the queue. A revised parking management plan has been prepared which outlines how the parking stalls will be designated for the Bluwater Crossing development. In addition, a Pick- Up/Drop-Off Assessment prepared by Linscott, Law & Greenspan (February 24, 2015) was prepared which determined that no significant pick-up/drop-off loading operation issues would exist with the implementation of the recommendations, which have been incorporated as project conditions. The traffic generated by the proposed school will not exceed what was originally anticipated in association with the daycare and retail uses and, therefore, will remain in compliance with what was analyzed in association with SP 210(A) and will not significantly impact the surrounding road segments or intersection levels of service. 5. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 22 and all City public facility 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 Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected prior to the issuance of building permit. b. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 22 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit. PC RESO NO. 7092 -4- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 6. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50). 7. That 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 the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301(a), Existing Facilities, of the state CEQA Guidelines. 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. 8. 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. Conditions: Note: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to issuance of building permits. 1. If any of the following conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be implemented and maintained over time, if any of such conditions fail to be so implemented and maintained according to their terms, the City shall have the right to revoke or modify all approvals herein granted; deny or further condition issuance of all future building permits; deny, revoke, or further condition all certificates of occupancy issued under the authority of approvals herein granted; record a notice of violation on the property title; institute and prosecute litigation to compel their compliance with said conditions or seek damages for their violation.

This approval shall become null and void if building permits are not issued for this project within 24 months from the date of project approval. 10. Building permits will not be issued for this project unless the local agency providing water and sewer services to the project provides written certification to the City that adequate water service and sewer facilities, respectively, are available to the project at the time of the application for the building permit, and that water and sewer capacity and facilities will continue to be available until the time of occupancy. 11. Developer shall pay the citywide Public Facilities Fee imposed by City Council Policy #17, the License Tax on new construction imposed by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 5.09.030, and CFD #1 special tax (if applicable), subject to any credits authorized by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 5.09.040. Developer shall also pay any applicable Local Facilities Management Plan fee for Zone 22, pursuant to Chapter 21.90. All such taxes/fees shall be paid at issuance of building permit. If the taxes/fees are not paid, this approval will not be consistent with the General Plan and shall become void. 12. Prior to the issuance of the building permit, Developer shall submit to the City a Notice of Restriction executed by the owner of the real property to be developed. Said notice is to be filed in the office of the County Recorder, subject to the satisfaction of the City Planner, notifying all interested parties and successors in interest that the City of Carlsbad has issued a Conditional Use Permit by Resolution No. 7092 on the property.
