A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
APPROVES GOLDEN SURF – CT 13-04/PUD 13-10/CDP 13-33, based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Tentative Tract Map, CT 14-01
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 as discussed in the project staff
report the project implements the goals and policies of the General Plan and is consistent
with all minimum requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203), Title 20 (including the
Subdivision Map Act), and Title 21.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since the
surrounding properties are designated for residential development on the General Plan and are
developed with multiple-family residential condominiums and detached single-family homes
of similar densities.
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 all required minimum development standards and design criteria required by the
applicable zoning ordinance and the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203) are incorporated into the
project.
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 project has been
designed and conditioned such that there are no conflicts with established easements.
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 residential units have
a north, south, east and 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.
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 proposed development is located on a previously graded and developed site,
surrounded by existing multiple-family residential condominiums and detached single-family
homes; the site is not located within nor adjacent to a HMP Standards Area or Hardline
Preserve; and no sensitive native habitat or species exist on the site.

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 the existing streets can accommodate the estimated
increase of 50 ADTs and all required public right-of-way has been or will be dedicated and has
been or will be improved to serve the development. In addition, the proposed project would
not result in any significant capacity-related impacts to any road segments or intersections.
Planned Development Permit, PUD 13-10
11. The proposed project will not be detrimental to existing uses, or to uses specifically permitted
in the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site,
surroundings, or traffic, in that the project is proposing a detached single-family residential
land use that is consistent with the existing surrounding detached single-family residential
land use that predominates that site along the north and east perimeters; the project density
of 5.55 du/ac is consistent with the RM (4-8 du/ac) General Plan Land Use designation for the
site; and the project generated traffic (50 ADT) can be accommodated on the surrounding
streets.
12. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the
project has been designed to comply with all applicable development standards to ensure
compatibility with surrounding residential and commercial uses.
13. The project’s design, including architecture, streets, and site layout: a) contributes to the
community’s overall aesthetic quality, b) includes the use of harmonious materials and colors,
and the appropriate use of landscaping, and c) achieves continuity among all elements of the
project, in that the project’s proposed architecture consists of traditionally styled two-story
single-family detached homes with attached two-car garages. Architectural styles of the
proposed homes can be generally described as Spanish and Santa Barbara. Architectural
design elements include balconies with wood and stucco railings, a variety of roof planes with
4:12 pitched roofs, and off-set building projections. Primary building materials include earth
tone colored stucco with tile roofs. Stucco covered foam accents and banding are included
around all windows and doors and along each elevation. The homes proposed on Lot 1 are
accessed off of a private drive and motor court constructed of pervious pavers laid out in
decorative pattern with accent banding. A sidewalk, complete with bollard type pedestrian
lighting, lines one side of the drive. A variety of trees and plant materials to enhance the
visual appearance of the community are included. Vines have been planted on all fences and
retaining walls to soften each of their appearances and to provide a green transition with the
adjacent neighborhood to the north and east. All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture,
landscaping) create continuity in the overall project design.
Coastal Development Permit, CDP 13-33
14. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and
all applicable policies in that the project site is located in the Mello II Segment of the Local
Coastal Program (LCP) and has a LCP Land Use designation of Residential Medium Density

(RM) and is zoned Planned Community (P-C) consistent with the City’s General Plan Land Use
designation and Zoning for the site. The RM Land Use designation allows development of
single-family residences at a density of 4-8 dwelling units per acre with a Growth
Management Control Point (GMCP) of 6 dwelling units per acre. At the RM GMCP, 6.48
dwelling units would be permitted on this 1.08 acre (net developable) property. A total of 6
dwelling units with an overall density of 5.55 du/ac is proposed. Additionally, the project site
is not identified as a “Map X - Designated Coastal Agricultural Lands” and therefore, is not
required to be preserved nor is it subject to an agricultural conversion mitigation fee. The
project is further consistent with the policies of the Coastal Act in that, a) the site is
geologically stable; b) the project has been designed to reduce the amount of runoff off-site
through the use of Low Impact Development (LID) design features and has been conditioned
to implement the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards; c) the
project does not preclude any recreational opportunities or shoreline access as the property is
not located adjacent to any waterways or bodies of water; and d) the development does not
obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public rights-of-way.
15. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the project does not preclude any recreational opportunities or shoreline
access as the property is not located adjacent to any waterways or bodies of water.
16. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the City's Master
Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to
avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. No development is proposed in
areas of natural steep slopes (≥25% gradient) and no native vegetation is located on the
subject property. In addition, the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or
susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
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 Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated
April 15, 2015, including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use. The General Plan Land Use designation for the project site is Residential
Medium Density (RM). The RM designation allows for medium density residential
development at 4 to 8 du/ac with a GMCP of 6 du/ac; which is used also for the purposes
of calculating the City’s compliance with Government Code §65584. The project site has a
net developable acreage of 1.08 acres allowing for 6.48 dwelling units to be developed at
the GMCP. A total of 6 dwelling units with an overall density of 5.55 du/ac can be

accommodated, which is 0.48 units below the GMCP. Pursuant to Government Code
§65863, the City may not reduce the residential density on any parcel below that which
was used by the California Department of Housing and Community Development in
determining compliance with Housing Element law, unless the City makes findings that
the reduction of residential density is consistent with the adopted General Plan, including
the Housing Element; and that the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are
adequate to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to
Government Code §65584.
The project is consistent with the City’s General Plan since the proposed density of 5.55
du/ac is within the RM density range of 4 to 8 du/ac as specified for the site. The
project’s proposed density of 5.55 du/ac is slightly below the GMCP density (6 du/ac)
used for the purposes of calculating the City’s compliance with Government Code §65584.
However, consistent with Program 3.2 of the City’s Certified Housing Element, all of the
dwelling units which were anticipated toward achieving the City’s share of the regional
housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects are deposited into
the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling units are available for
allocation to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity
and there are adequate properties identified in the Housing Element allowing residential
development with a unit capacity adequate to satisfy the City’s share of the regional
housing need. Accordingly, 0.48 dwelling units will be deposited into the City’s excess
dwelling unit bank.
b. Housing. The project has been conditioned to pay an affordable housing in-lieu fee on a
per unit basis (i.e., 5 new dwellings total) in order to provide for a proportional share of
affordable housing.
c. Public Safety. The project is located within a five minute response time of Fire Station No.
4 and has been designed to comply with the fire code, including provisions for an
automatic sprinkler system within each dwelling unit.
d. Open Space & Conservation. The project will not have any environmental impacts on the
previously graded and developed site that is void of sensitive habitat; and to control
storm water runoff and protect water quality, the project has been conditioned to
conform to all NPDES requirements and is designed to include Low Impact Design (LID)
elements.
e. Noise. The project will not result in exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels
in excess of standards established in the General Plan or the City Carlsbad Noise
Guidelines Manual in that a site specific noise study was prepared for the project (ABC
Acoustics, Inc., July 21, 2014) of which it concluded that the project will comply with the
exterior noise standard of 60 dB(A) and interior noise standard of 45 dB(A) CNEL with no
mitigation required.
f. Circulation. Curb, gutter and sidewalk presently exist along Camino de las Ondas. No
new public roadway improvements are necessary except for two curb cuts for connecting
project driveways at Lot 1 and 2.

19. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 20 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. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and will be
collected prior to issuance of building permit.
c. 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.
d. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 20 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
20. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
21. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from the
Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and implementation
program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and provide for effective
protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while continuing to allow compatible
development in accordance with Carlsbad’s Growth Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife
habitats and sensitive species is required by the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
City’s General Plan which provides for the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and
environmental benefits from the preservation of open space within an increasingly urban
environment. Moreover, each new development will contribute to the need for additional
regional infrastructure that, in turn, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu
Mitigation Fee imposed on all new development within the City is essential to fund
implementation of the City’s Habitat Management Plan. Pursuant to the HMP, the project has
been conditioned to pay habitat in-lieu fees for impacts to 0.22 acres of Group-E habitat and
0.27 acres of Group-F habitat.
22. 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 the issuance of a
grading permit, building permit or recordation of the final map, whichever occurs first.
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

condition is determined to be invalid, this approval shall be invalid unless the City Council
determines that the project without the condition complies with all requirements of law.
5. Developer/Operator shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold
harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers, employees, agents, and
representatives, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, demands, claims and
costs, including court costs and attorney’s fees incurred by the City arising, directly or indirectly,
from (a) City’s approval and issuance of this Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit
and Coastal Development Permit, (b) City’s approval or issuance of any permit or action,
whether discretionary or nondiscretionary, in connection with the use contemplated herein,
and (c) Developer/Operator’s installation and operation of the facility permitted hereby,
including without limitation, any and all liabilities arising from the emission by the facility of

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. A note to this effect shall be placed on
the Final Map.
11. Developer shall pay the citywide Public Facilities Fee imposed by City Council Policy No. 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

a. General Enforcement by the City. The City shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to enforce those Protective Covenants set forth in this Declaration in favor of, or in
which the City has an interest.
b. Notice and Amendment. A copy of any proposed amendment shall be provided to the
City in advance. If the proposed amendment affects the City, City shall have the right to
disapprove. A copy of the final approved amendment shall be transmitted to City
within 30 days for the official record.
c. Failure of Association to Maintain Common Area Lots and Easements. In the event that
the Association fails to maintain the “Common Area Lots and/or the Association’s
Easements” as provided in Article , Section the City shall
have the right, but not the duty, to perform the necessary maintenance. If the City
elects to perform such maintenance, the City shall give written notice to the
Association, with a copy thereof to the Owners in the Project, setting forth with
particularity the maintenance which the City finds to be required and requesting the
same be carried out by the Association within a period of thirty (30) days from the
giving of such notice. In the event that the Association fails to carry out such
maintenance of the Common Area Lots and/or Association’s Easements within the
period specified by the City’s notice, the City shall be entitled to cause such work to be
completed and shall be entitled to reimbursement with respect thereto from the
Owners as provided herein.
d. Special Assessments Levied by the City. In the event the City has performed the
necessary maintenance to either Common Area Lots and/or Association’s Easements,
the City shall submit a written invoice to the Association for all costs incurred by the
City to perform such maintenance of the Common Area Lots and or Association’s
Easements. The City shall provide a copy of such invoice to each Owner in the Project,
together with a statement that if the Association fails to pay such invoice in full within
the time specified, the City will pursue collection against the Owners in the Project
pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Said invoice shall be due and payable by the
Association within twenty (20) days of receipt by the Association. If the Association
shall fail to pay such invoice in full within the period specified, payment shall be
deemed delinquent and shall be subject to a late charge in an amount equal to six
percent (6%) of the amount of the invoice. Thereafter the City may pursue collection
from the Association by means of any remedies available at law or in equity. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in addition to all other rights and remedies
available to the City, the City may levy a special assessment against the Owners of each
Lot in the Project for an equal pro rata share of the invoice, plus the late charge. Such
special assessment shall constitute a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien
upon each Lot against which the special assessment is levied. Each Owner in the Project
hereby vests the City with the right and power to levy such special assessment, to
impose a lien upon their respective Lot and to bring all legal actions and/or to pursue
lien foreclosure procedures against any Owner and his/her respective Lot for purposes
of collecting such special assessment in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Article of this Declaration.
e. Landscape Maintenance Responsibilities. The HOAs and individual lot or unit owner
landscape maintenance responsibilities shall be as set forth in Exhibit_________.
