Findings:
Tentative Tract Map, CT 15-05
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 is consistent with the Quarry Creek Master Plan, MP 10-01(A), which was
analyzed and found to be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the city’s
General Plan; Title 20, including the Subdivision Map Act; and Title 21, including the Planned
Development Ordinance.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses as the
residential use implements the Quarry Creek Master Plan, which includes the preservation of
open space to the north of the site and the future development of a community recreational
facility to the west and a community facilities site to the south. Further, a 50-foot-wide
planning buffer is included along the northern boundary of the site to provide a buffer
between the proposed condominiums and the open space lot to the north.
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 Quarry Creek Master Plan (MP 10-01(A)) are
incorporated into the project, including compliance with minimum density of 15 dwelling
units per acre.
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 airspace
condominium 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 site. The biological
mitigation measures associated with the Quarry Creek Master Plan have been implemented
and integrated into the project and no additional mitigation is required.

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 704 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 traffic mitigation
measures associated with the implementation of the Quarry Creek Master Plan are required
to be satisfied prior to issuance of building permits.
Planned Development Permit, PUD 15-13
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 an attached multi-family product that
was envisioned and approved as part of the Quarry Creek Master Plan. The proposal to
construct 88 multi-family airspace condominiums is consistent with Planning Area R-3 and the
proposed density of 16.83 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) complies with the minimum density
of 15 du/ac. In addition, as required by the Master Plan, a 50-foot-wide planning buffer is
included along the northern boundary of the site to provide a buffer between the proposed
condominiums and the open space lot to the north. With exception to the existing
commercial shopping center on the adjacent parcel to the east, the surrounding properties
are vacant. Ultimately, a community recreation center and park will be developed to the
west and a community facility such as a daycare or a church, are envisioned to be developed
on the Community Facilities site to the south. Finally, the project generated traffic (704 ADTs)
can be accommodated on the surrounding streets and has been previously analyzed pursuant
to the Environmental Impact Report which was prepared for the Quarry Creek Master Plan
(EIR 11-02) and certified by the City Council on April 2, 2013.
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, open space 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 a variety of roof planes, three
different styles, Spanish Colonial, Tuscan, and Craftsman, and a total of nine (9) different color
schemes.
The Spanish Colonial architectural style incorporates a concrete “S” tile roof, plaster corbels,
decorative ceramic tiles, vent tiles, fabric awnings, plaster eaves and trim, and wrought iron.
The Tuscan architectural style includes a concrete “S” tile roof, medallion accent vents, wood
shutters, brick trim, wrought iron, arched elements, decorative plaster rosettes, wood beams
and brackets, rafter tails and plaster corbels. The Craftsman theme includes a flat concrete
tile roof, wood shutters, horizontal lap siding, board and batten siding, plaster recesses,
decorative corbels, wood knee braces, wood guardrails, and trellis details above the front
doors. In addition, the exterior color schemes for each design include complementary trim
colors.

14. The Planning Commission has determined that:
a. The project is a subsequent activity of the Quarry Creek Master Plan (MP 10-01(A)) for
which a program EIR (EIR 11-02) was prepared, and a notice for the activity has been given,
which includes statements that this activity is within the scope of the program approved
earlier, and that the program EIR adequately describes the activity for the purposes of
CEQA) [15168(c)(2) and (e)];
b. This project is consistent with the Quarry Creek Master Plan cited above;
c. The Quarry Creek Master Plan EIR 11-02 was certified in connection with the prior project
or plan;
d. The project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant in the
prior EIR;
e. None of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent EIR or a Supplemental EIR under CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist; and
f. Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures identified in the Quarry
Creek Master Plan EIR 11-02, which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been
incorporated into this Subsequent Project.
General
15. 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
December 16, 2015, including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use: Planning Area R-3 of the Quarry Creek Master Plan has a General Plan Land Use
designation of Residential, 15 to 23 dwelling units per acre (R-23). The project has a
proposed density of 16.83 du/ac, which complies with the minimum density of 15 du/ac
for PA R-3. A total of 95 dwelling units were originally anticipated to be constructed
within Planning Area R-3; 88 units are currently proposed. As a result, the difference of
seven (7) units is proposed to be transferred to Planning Area R-2, which is also
designated as a high density, multi-family site. This transfer of units to another
residential planning area is permissible pursuant to Section 8.3 the Master Plan.
b. Housing: The proposed project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General
Plan and the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in that the requisite inclusionary
housing will be provided in Planning Area R-1 of the Quarry Creek Master Plan.

c. Public Safety: The project is located within a five minute response time of Fire Station No.
3 and has been designed to comply with the fire code, including provisions for an
automatic sprinkler system within each condominium unit.
d. Open Space & Conservation: The project will not have any environmental impacts on the
previously-graded site which is void of sensitive habitat. A 50-foot-wide planning buffer
along the northern boundary of the site is incorporated into the project design to provide
a buffer between the multi-family airspace condominium units and the open space parcel
to the north. In order to control the 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: Pursuant to a Noise Analysis prepared for the project (dBF Associates, Inc., May,
2015), noise walls are not required since the existing and future noise levels are projected
to be 60 dBA CNEL or less. Pursuant to the mitigation measures of the Quarry Creek
Master Plan, prior to issuance of the building permit, a registered acoustician shall verify
that the project complies with the interior noise standard of 45 dBA CNEL or less.
f. Circulation: Two access points to the project site are proposed off of Marron Road, which
borders the southern property line.
16. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 25 and all City public policies and ordinances. The project
includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all

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 25 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
17. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
18. 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.
