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 Planning Commission APPROVES PUD 15-05/SDP 15-05/CDP 15-10/MS 15-03/AV 15-03 – 165 PINE AVENUE based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: Planned Development Permit 1. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan, and complies with all applicable provisions of this chapter, and all other applicable provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, in that the density of 16.7 dwelling units per acre for the two-family residential air-space condominium project is consistent with the Residential High (RH) Density Land Use designation (15-23 du/acre). As discussed in the project staff report, with the exception of a Minor Variance (AV 15-03) for setbacks from Pine Avenue, the project is consistent with all remaining development and design standards applicable to the property as contained in Chapters 21.16 (Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)) Zone, 21.45 (Planned Developments) and 21.82 (Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ)) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. 2. 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 two-family residential air-space condominium project is compatible with existing surrounding single-family residential, multiple-family residential uses as permitted by the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone; and does not create any traffic circulation impacts as Pine Avenue and Garfield Street are adequately designed to accommodate the 16 Average Daily Trips (ADT) being generated. 3. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the two-family residential air-space condominium project has been designed to comply with all applicable development standards, with the exception of a Minor Variance (AV 15-03) for setbacks from Pine Avenue, to ensure compatibility with surrounding single-family and multiple-family residential uses. 4. 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 two-family residential air-space condominium project is constructed above a subterranean parking area which removes garage doors and driveway parking from the project site with the exception of a visitor space which is enhanced with landscaping. The two story project is architecturally harmonious with the surrounding beach environment and includes a variety of roof planes and off-set building projections. In addition, primary building materials are provided and consist of white stucco, tile veneer, metal clad wood fascia, and PC RESO NO. 7118 -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 recessed metal clad windows and sliding doors. A standing seem metal roof with a 3:12 roof pitch covers a portion of the building. A glass railing surrounds the roof deck areas while a stainless steel railing is included around the balconies. All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping) create continuity in the overall project design. Site Development Plan 5. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, 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 circulation, in that the project consists of the demolition of two existing single-family homes and construction of a two-family residential air-space condominium project on a 0.12 acre infill site located at 165 Pine Avenue. The site is surrounded by a mix of existing single-family and multiple-family residential developments, as well as hotel/timeshare uses. The proposed two-family residential project at a density of 16.7 du/ac is consistent with the Residential High Density (RH: 15-23 du/ac) General Plan Land Use designation. The project is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan as discussed in Section “A” of the project staff report. The proposed two-family residential use will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the use is located in that, two-family residential is a use permitted within the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone and is compatible with the other residential uses surrounding the project site, including single- family residential and multiple-family residential. The two-family residential airspace condominium project will not adversely impact the site, surroundings, or traffic circulation in that the existing surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the 16 Average Daily Trips (ADT) generated by the project; the project complies with all minimum development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including but not limited to the R-3 Zone, Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ), and the Planned Development Ordinance; and the project is adequately parked onsite and does not result in any environmental impacts. 6. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that with the exception of a Minor Variance (AV 15-03) for setbacks from Pine Avenue, the two- family residential air-space condominium project complies with all remaining development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, parking, and height restrictions) of the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ), and the Planned Development Ordinance as demonstrated in the project staff report. 7. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that as demonstrated in the project staff report the two-family residential air- space condominium project, with the exception of a Minor Variance (AV 15-03) for setbacks from Pine Avenue, complies with all remaining development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, parking, and height restrictions) of the Multiple-Family (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ), and the Planned Development Ordinance. Landscaping along the outer edge of the property, including the areas along Pine Avenue and Garfield Street will be provided consistent with the requirements of the city’s Landscape Manual. In addition to the above, existing privacy wall on the adjacent property will be maintained. . . . PC RESO NO. 7118 -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 8. That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the two-family residential air-space condominium project will take access off of Pine Avenue, which is identified as a local street, and is designed to adequately handle the 16 Average Daily Trips (ADT) generated by the project. Pine Avenue is already improved with pavement, curb, gutter and an adjacent sidewalk. The project will reconstruct portions of the curb, gutter and sidewalk along the project frontage due to the modification of the driveway and installation of ADA ramp. Coastal Development Permit 9. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies, in that the site is designated RH (15-23 du/ac) for single-family and multi-family residential development by the Mello II LCP and the project consists of the demolition of two existing single-family homes and construction of a two-family residential air-space condominium project with subterranean garages at 16.7 du/acres on a 0.12 acre previously developed site; the proposed two-story project will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. In addition, the proposed two-family residential condominium project is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore, the residentially-designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities. 10. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the shoreline. Therefore, the two- family residential air-space condominium project will not interfere with the public’s right to physical access to the ocean and furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities. 11. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the two-family residential air-space condominium 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. Furthermore, no natural steep slopes ≥25% gradient will be affected by the project, and no native vegetation is located on the subject site. In addition, the project site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction. 12. The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990 and Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fees are not required in accordance with the provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning Ordinance). 13. The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance). PC RESO NO. 7118 -5- 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 Tentative Parcel Map 14. 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 two-family residential air- space condominium project created through the tentative parcel map satisfy all the minimum requirements of Title 20 and have been designed to comply with other applicable regulations including, the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ), the Planned Development Ordinance, Growth Management Ordinance, and the Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use designation. 15. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding properties are designated for Residential High (RH) density development on the General Plan and are predominantly developed with underdeveloped single-family homes or multiple-family residential projects of a similar density. 16. 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 with the exception of a Minor Variance (AV 15-03) for setbacks from Pine Avenue, all other required development standards and design criteria required by the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Planned Development Ordinance, and the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ) are incorporated into the two-family residential air-space condominium project. 17. 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 two-family residential air-space condominium project has been designed and conditioned so that there are no conflicts with established easements and no additional right-of-way is required. 18. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act). 19. 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 structures are designed to include patios, roof decks, and multiple balconies oriented to maximize exposure of each unit to natural light and ventilation from nearby coastal breezes. 20. 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. 21. 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 two-family residential air-space condominium project site has been previously graded and is surrounded by existing development. . . . . . . PC RESO NO. 7118 -6- 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 22. 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 two-family residential air-space condominium 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 is conditioned to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. Minor Variance 23. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification in that the lot is a substandard lot at 5,280 square feet, which falls below the 7,500 square foot minimum lot size. The lot is adjacent to an 80 foot street right-of-way on Pine Avenue which is larger than other street rights-of-way in the area that are 60 feet. Typical distances from the face of curb to property line is ten feet. The subject property at 165 Pine Street is approximately 18 feet from the face of curb on Pine Avenue to the property line. This results in a building setback from the street that is about eight feet greater than properties on nearby streets. The property is located adjacent to the Tamarack Inn building, a hotel/timeshare, which is 3 stories in height and is observing a lessor setback than 165 Pine Avenue is required to have. This reduced setback and physical scale and bulk of the building encumbers the project site as this large building dwarfs the site. However, the hotel/timeshare is located within the Village Review zone and has different setback requirements then the project. 24. That the minor variance shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located and is subject to any conditions necessary to assure compliance with this finding in that the granting of a reduced setback from ten feet to four feet from the property line (22’ from the face of the curb) along Pine Avenue, as well as stepping the building back, is not a special privilege based on the substandard lot size and extremely wide street right of way along Pine Avenue on this short block. Blocks to the east of this site along Pine Ave have varied right of ways that fluctuate from 80’ to 70’ to 60’ in widths. These reduced right of ways allow for better view corridors and closer to street building placements as opposed to this project site with a wide setback and the large bulky building to the West (hotel/timeshare). Some homes in the immediate neighborhood have ten-foot setbacks from property line along Pine Avenue and 20’ setbacks from the face of the curb on Pine Avenue. Therefore the proposed setback reduction will be consistent with the setbacks allowed for other properties in the same vicinity and zone; and therefore, would not constitute a special privilege that is not enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under the identical zoning classification. 25. That the minor variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the subject property in that the granting of a minor variance to reduce the required setback from a public street from ten feet to four feet does not authorize a use which is not otherwise expressly permitted by the zoning regulations in that a two-family dwelling is allowed by right within the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) zone. Therefore, a deviation from the street setback standard does not authorize a use or activity which is not authorized by the zone. PC RESO NO. 7118 -7- 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 26. That the minor variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the general plan and any applicable specific or master plans in that the proposed use is a two-family dwelling, consistent with the Residential High (RH) Density designation as discussed above. 27. The minor variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the certified local coastal program and does not reduce or in any manner adversely affect the requirements for protection of coastal resources in that the granting of a Minor Variance is consistent with and implements the requirements of the Local Coastal Program and will not have an adverse effect on coastal resources as discussed in Section “E” of the Staff Report and will have no impacts on sensitive environmental resources. Therefore, granting such a variance will not adversely affect the Local Coastal Program. General 28. 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 August 5, 2015 including, but not limited to the following: a) Land Use – The two-family residential air-space condominium project is consistent with the elements and objectives of the General Plan as discussed in Section “A” of the project staff report. The proposed residential density of 16.7 dwelling units per acre (2 dwelling units) is within the Residential High (RH) density range (15–23 du/ac). Because the two unit project is below the maximum unit yield (2.28 dwelling units) at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of the RH General Plan Land Use designation, 0.28 dwelling units will be deposited into the City’s excess dwelling unit bank consistent with Housing Element Program 3.2 and City Council Policy No. 43. b) Circulation – The project will take access off of Pine Avenue and Garfield Street, which have full street improvements along its frontage. All public facilities including curb, gutter and sidewalk are existing or are conditioned to be built or reconstructed along the property frontage (Pine Avenue & Garfield Street). c) Noise - The project consists of a two-family dwelling and therefore a noise study is not required. However, the project has been conditioned to meet a 45 dB(a) CNEL interior noise level when openings to the exterior of the residence are open or closed. If openings are required to be closed to meet the interior noise standard, then mechanical ventilation shall be provided. In addition, the existing hotel / timeshare project to the west helps shield and attenuate noise associated with Carlsbad Boulevard from the project site. d) Housing – The two-family residential air-space condominium project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as the project has been conditioned to pay an affordable housing in-lieu fee on a per unit basis if building permits for the two-unit project have not been applied for within two years of demolishing the existing two units on-site. e) Public Safety – The two-family residential air-space condominium project is located within a five minute response time of Fire Station No. 1 and has been designed to comply with the fire code, including provisions for an automatic sprinkler system within each dwelling unit. . . . PC RESO NO. 7118 -8- 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 29. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 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 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 1 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit. 30. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50). 31. 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 15332, In-fill Development Project, of the state California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, of the state CEQA Guidelines. 32. 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 or building permit, or recordation of the Final Parcel 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 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. No vested rights are gained by Developer or a successor in interest by the City’s approval of this Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Tentative Parcel Map and Minor Variance. PC RESO NO. 7118 -9- 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 2. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require the Developer to make, all corrections and modifications to the Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Tentative Parcel Map and Minor Variance documents, as necessary to make them internally consistent and in conformity with the final action on the project. Development shall occur substantially as shown on the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development, different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval. 3. Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local laws and regulations in effect at the time of building permit issuance. 4. If any condition for construction of any public improvements or facilities, or the payment of any fees in-lieu thereof, imposed by this approval or imposed by law on this Project are challenged, this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section 66020. If any such 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 Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Tentative Parcel Map and Minor Variance, (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 electromagnetic fields or other energy waves or emissions. This obligation survives until all legal proceedings have been concluded and continues even if the City’s approval is not validated. 6. Developer shall submit to the Planning Division a reproducible 24” x 36,” mylar copy of the Tentative Parcel Map, Site Plan, and Grading Plans reflecting the conditions approved by the final decision-making body. 7. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Developer shall provide proof to the Building Division from the Carlsbad Unified School District that this project has satisfied its obligation to provide school facilities. 8. This project shall comply with all conditions and mitigation measures which are required as part of the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan and any amendments made to that Plan prior to the issuance of building permits. 9. This approval shall become null and void if building permits are not issued for this project within 24 months from the date of the recordation of the final parcel map. 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 Parcel Map. PC RESO NO. 7118 -10- 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 11. The project site is located in an area that may contain soil material that is suitable for beach sand replenishment as defined in the Carlsbad Opportunistic Beach Fill program (COBFP) adopted by the Planning Commission on May 17, 2006 (SUP 04-13). Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, and as a part of the grading plan preparation, the developer shall test the soil material to be exported from the project site to determine the materials suitability for sand replenishment pursuant to the requirements of the COBFP. If the material is deemed suitable for beach replenishment the developer is encouraged to comply with the process outlined in the COBFP to transport and place the beach quality material on the beach site identified in the COBFP. 12. 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 Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Tentative Parcel Map and Minor Variance by Resolution No. 7118 on the property.
