Findings:
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 development within the Planning Area falls within the R-4 Residential (0-4
du/ac) density range consistent with the Land Use designation identified in the Robertson
Ranch Master Plan. 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
Chapter 21.45 (Planned Developments).
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 single family detached project does not require any
variances from standards; is compatible with existing surrounding single-family residential
uses as permitted by the One-Family Residential (R-1) Zone and Residential Density Multiple
Zone (RD-M); and does not create any traffic circulation impacts as all internal public and
private streets are designed to adequately accommodate the 15,769 Average Daily Trips
(ADT) being generated within the Robertson Ranch Master Plan West Village.
3. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the
project lots have been designed to comply with all applicable development standards to
ensure compatibility with surrounding single-family residential uses and the project
architectural design blends with the various architectural styles of single family homes found
in the surrounding neighborhoods.
4. The project’s design, including architecture, streets, and site layout:
a. Contributes to the community’s overall aesthetic quality, in that the Robertson Ranch
West Village is arranged in a modified grid configuration with both public and private
through streets and cul-de-sacs commonly found in single family neighborhoods;
commonly owned lots are fully landscaped; and the combined elements (i.e. site
layout, lot design, circulation system, architecture, and landscaping) create continuity
in the overall project design; and
b. Includes the use of harmonious materials and colors, and the appropriate use of
landscaping, in that the building elevations have been designed in conformance with
the Robertson Ranch Master Plan Design Guidelines Sections IIIB2 and 3 in that
architectural styles include the design elements of English Country, Italian Tuscany,
and Mission as well as incorporating the various materials described including stucco,
wood shutters, concrete roof tiles, horizontal lap siding, large front entry porch,
arched entries, arched decorative elements, ornamental chimney caps, plant shelf,
dressed stone accents wainscoat, decorative wood or foam corbels, and exposed
wood rafters; and
c. Achieves continuity among all elements of the project, in that all elements of the
design concepts illustrated in the Robertson Ranch Master Plan are incorporated to
achieve their stated intent.
5. The proposed Robertson Ranch West Village community entry provides a unique statement to
the west village and is consistent with the intent and design character of the concepts
provided in the Robertson ranch Master Plan.

29. Developer acknowledges that, pursuant to Order No. R9-2013-0001 issued by the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, new storm water requirements become effective near
the end of 2015, and likely affect the design of this project. Prior to construction, Developer
shall demonstrate compliance with latest storm water requirements to the satisfaction of the
city engineer.
30. Developer shall comply with the city's Stormwater Regulations, latest version, and shall
implement best management practices at all times. Best management practices include but are
not limited to pollution control practices or devices, erosion control to prevent silt runoff during
construction, general housekeeping practices, pollution prevention and educational practices,
maintenance procedures, and other management practices or devices to prevent or reduce the
discharge of pollutants to stormwater, receiving water or stormwater conveyance system to
the maximum extent practicable. Developer shall notify prospective owners and tenants of the
above requirements.
31. Developer shall complete and submit to the city engineer a Project Threat Assessment Form
(PTAF) pursuant to City Engineering Standards. Concurrent with the PTAF, developer shall also
submit the appropriate Tier level Storm Water Compliance form and appropriate Tier level
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as determined by the completed PTAF all to
the satisfaction of the city engineer. Developer shall pay all applicable SWPPP plan review and
inspection fees per the city’s latest fee schedule.
32. This project is subject to ‘Priority Development Project’ requirements. Developer shall prepare
and process a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP), subject to city engineer approval, to
demonstrate how this project meets new/current storm water treatment requirements per the
city’s Standard Urban Storm Water Management Plan (SUSMP), latest version. In addition to
new treatment control BMP selection criteria in the SUSMP, the developer shall use low impact
development (site design) approaches to ensure that runoff from impervious areas (roofs,
pavement, etc.) are drained through landscaped (pervious) areas prior to discharge. Developer
shall pay all applicable SWMP plan review and inspection fees per the city’s latest fee schedule.
33. Developer acknowledges hydromodification (runoff reduction) requirements impact how project
treats and/or retains storm runoff. Hydromodification involves detailed site design and analysis
to reduce the amount of post-development run-off by mimicking the natural hydrologic function
of the site, preserving natural open-spaces and natural drainage channels, minimizing use of
new impervious surfaces, and promoting onsite infiltration and evaporation of run-off. During
final design, developer shall demonstrate compliance with storm water requirements to the
satisfaction of the city engineer.
34. Developer is responsible to ensure that all final design plans (grading plans, improvement plans,
landscape plans, building plans, etc) incorporate all source control, site design, treatment
control BMP, applicable hydromodification measures, and Low Impact Design (LID) facilities.
35. Developer shall submit documentation, subject to city engineer approval, demonstrating how
this project complies with Hydromodification requirements per the city’s SUSMP, latest version.
Documentation shall be included within the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP).
