B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES PUD 15-04/SDP 15-03/MS 15-02 – CARLSBAD LAGOON BEACH HOMES,
based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
PUD 15-04
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 project is consistent with the General Plan, which allows for a mixture of residential
uses, including condominiums, within the Residential High (RH) Density land use designation.
Although the project’s density of 13.6 dwelling units per acre is below the minimum RH
density of 15 du/ac, the three-unit, detached single-family residential air-space condominium
project can be found consistent with the General Plan pursuant to CMC Section 21.53.230. In
addition, 1.18 dwelling units will be deposited into the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. As
discussed in the project staff report, the project is consistent with all minimum development
and design standards applicable to the property as contained in Chapters 21.24 (Residential
Density – Multiple (RD-M)) 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 three-unit detached single-family residential air-space
condominium project does not propose or require any variances from standards; is
compatible with existing surrounding single-family residential and multiple-family uses as
permitted by the Residential Density – Multiple (RD-M) Zone; and does not create any traffic
circulation impacts as Chinquapin Avenue is adequately designed to accommodate the
existing 24 Average Daily Trips (ADT) being generated.
3. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the
three-unit detached single-family residential air-space condominium project has been
designed to comply with all applicable development standards 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 three-unit single-family residential air-space condominium project with its
detached design represents an upgrade to the site and the surrounding neighborhood. The
project proposed will have an overall contemporary beach architectural theme using simple
rectangular massing and flat, shed and gable roofs. However, each home with be unique with
its own individual design. The three story homes with attached two car garages are
architecturally harmonious with the surrounding beach environment and include a variety of
roof planes and off-set building projections. Primary building materials consist of colored
stucco, horizontal and metal panel siding. Asphalt composition shingles cover a 3:12 pitched
roof over each unit; and metal railings are located along the edges of the balconies and decks.
All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping) create continuity in the overall project
design.

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 three existing attached residential units and
construction of three detached, single-family residential air-space condominiums on a 0.22
acre infill site located at 165-175 Chinquapin Avenue on the south side of the street. The site
is predominately surrounded by existing single-family and multiple-family residential
developments. 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 single-
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, single-family residential is a use permitted
within the Residential Density – Multiple (RD-M) Zone when developed as two or more
detached units on one lot and is compatible with the other residential uses surrounding the
project site, including multiple-family residential. The three-unit detached residential
condominium project will not adversely impact the site, surroundings, or traffic circulation in
that the existing surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the existing 24
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 RD-M
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 the three-unit detached single-family residential air-space condominium project complies
with all of the minimum development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot
coverage, parking, and height restrictions) of the Residential Density – Multiple (RD-M) 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 three-unit detached single-
family residential air-space condominium project complies with all of the minimum
development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, parking, and height
restrictions) of the Residential Density – Multiple (RD-M) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone
(BAOZ), and the Planned Development Ordinance. Landscaping located between each unit,
including the front setback area along Chinquapin Avenue will be provided consistent with
the requirements of the city’s Landscape Manual. In addition to the above, existing retaining
walls will be maintained, as well as the addition of new privacy tubular steel and glass
fencing.
8. That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the three-unit detached single-family residential air-
space condominium project will take access off of Chinquapin Avenue, which is identified as a
local street, and is designed to adequately handle the 30 Average Daily Trips (ADT) generated
by the project. All public facilities including curb, gutter and sidewalk are conditioned to be
built along the property frontage.

Tentative Parcel Map (MS 15-02)
9. 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 three-unit detached single-
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 Residential Density – Multiple (RD-M) 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.
10. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since
surrounding properties are designated for Residential High (RMH) density and Residential High
(RH) density development on the General Plan and are predominantly developed with
multiple-family residential projects of a similar density.
11. 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 development standards and design criteria required by the Residential
Density – Multiple (RD-M) Zone, the Planned Development Ordinance, and the Beach Area
Overlay Zone (BAOZ) are incorporated into the three-unit detached single-family residential
air-space condominium project without the need for any variances from development
standards.
12. 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 three-unit
detached single-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.
13. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation
Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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 three-unit detached single-family residential air-space condominium project site
has been previously graded and is surrounded by existing development to the north, east and
west.

17. 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 three-unit detached single-
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.
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
September 2, 2015 including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use – The project is consistent with the City’s Residential High Density (RH) General
Plan Land Use designation for the property. The RH Land Use designation allows single-
family and multi-family residential development within a density range of 15 – 23
dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 19
dwelling units per acre (du/ac). The project site has a net developable area of 0.22 acres.
The project proposes to construct 3 dwelling units on the project site which is 0.18 units
below the minimum density yield and 1.18 units below the Growth Management Control
Point. The resulting density is 13.6 du/ac. Pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Section
21.53.230, unit yields with a fractional unit below 0.5 for the minimum density yield may
be rounded-down. In addition, any unit yields rounded-down pursuant to this provision
that result in a density below the minimum density of the applicable land use designation
shall be considered consistent with the General Plan.
As discussed above, the project density is 13.6 du/ac and the minimum density of the RH
land use designation is 15 du/ac. Pursuant to Government Code Section 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 the 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 Section 65584.
The GMCP is used for the purpose of calculating the City’s compliance with Government
Code Section 65863. However, consistent with Program 3.2 of the City’s certified Housing
Element, all of the dwelling units which were anticipated towards achieving the City’s
share of the regional housing needs that are not utilized by developers in approved
projects, will be deposited in the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. Therefore, this project
will deposit 1.18 dwelling units into the 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.
b) Circulation – The project will take access off of Chinquapin Avenue. The project has been
conditioned to install all infrastructure-related improvements (including but not limited to
curb, gutter and sidewalk) and any necessary easements for these improvements
concurrent with development.

c) Noise – The project consists of three single-family dwelling units 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.
d) Housing – The three-unit detached single-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 for three units. The affordable housing in-lieu fee is only
required if the replacement units are not constructed within 2 years of the existing units
being demolished.
e) Public Safety – The three-unit detached single-family residential air-space condominium
project is located within a five minute response time of Fire Station No. 1, will provide an
automatic sprinkler system within each dwelling unit, and is consistent with the fire code.
19. 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.
20. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
21. 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.
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.

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
