PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 7120 PC RESO NO. 7120 -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 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. PC RESO NO. 7120 -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 SDP 15-03 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. PC RESO NO. 7120 -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 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. PC RESO NO. 7120 -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 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. PC RESO NO. 7120 -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 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. PC RESO NO. 7120 -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 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.

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. 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.
