B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of CT 15-06/RP 15-07 – THE WAVE based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Tentative Tract Map, CT 15-06
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 the proposed one lot tentative
tract map for a 22 airspace condominium subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and
satisfies all minimum requirements of the Village Master Plan, Titles 20 and 21 with respect
to public facilities, access and parking as discussed in the project staff report.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since the
surrounding properties are developed, are currently designated as Village (V) in the General
Plan and are located in Land Use District 4 - Residential Support Area, of the Village Master
Plan. The subject property, is bordered to the north by a RV Park; to the south by a
commercial building; to the east by an office building; and to the west by State Street and a
mixture of retail uses. Pursuant to Land Use District 4 of the Village Master Plan, the intent is
to provide for a gradual transition in this district to a mix of higher quality commercial and
residential uses which will provide positive support for the District 1 Village Center and
reinforce the Village area north of Beech Street as a quality residential neighborhood.
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 the Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation allows residential development at a
density range of 28 to 35 dwelling units per acre. Based on a net acreage of 0.249 acres, the
proposed 8 residential condominium units have a density of 32.12 dwelling units per acre.
The 13 timeshare units are considered commercial living units for purposes of temporary
lodging and do not count towards project density. The one (1) commercial unit, consisting of
781 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial space, is also not counted towards overall project
density.
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 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 in that the
project is required to provide a total of one (1) inclusionary unit. Specifically, the applicant
proposes to designate one (1) of the 8 residential condominium units as an inclusionary unit,
which is a one-bedroom unit. In addition, the project has been conditioned to require the
approval of an Affordable Housing Agreement prior to recordation of the final map.
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 project site has been previously developed and, therefore, does not impact any
fish, wildlife or habitat.
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 street can accommodate the estimated
200 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 proposed project would not
result in any significant capacity-related impacts to any road segments or intersections.
Major Review Permit, RP 15-07
11. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the City’s General Plan, and the development standards of the Village Review
Zone and the Village Master Plan and Design Manual, based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated March 16, 2016, including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use. The proposed project, which includes the demolition of one existing
residential structure and construction of a 18,355 square foot four-story mixed-use
building consisting of 8 residential units (one of which is affordable), 13 timeshare
units, and one (1) ground floor commercial unit (781 square feet) will enhance the
vitality of the Village, specifically Land Use District 4 (Residential Support Area). The
proposed mixed use development not only provides mutually supportive uses in the
form of residential, timeshare and commercial opportunity, but reinforces the
pedestrian-orientation desired for the downtown area by providing new residents and
timeshare occupants an opportunity to walk to local shopping, dining, recreation, and
mass transit functions. It’s close proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit
help to further the goal of providing new economic and residential development near
transportation corridors. Furthermore, the project will contribute to the revitalization
of the Village area in the form of a new building at the northern end of State Street
with new commercial lease space, new employment opportunities, and new
consumers. Overall, the residential project will contribute to the revitalization of the
Village area.

b. Housing. The project has been conditioned to enter into an Affordable Housing
Agreement to construct one (1) inclusionary housing unit onsite. The applicant has
set aside one of the (1) bedroom units for inclusionary housing purposes. The project
has been accordingly conditioned to require the approval of an Affordable Housing
Agreement prior to recordation of the final map. In approving a request for an
allocation of excess dwelling units, the project shall meet the findings identified in
City Council Policy No. 43. Specifically, the project location and density shall be found
to be compatible with adjacent land uses and the project is consistent with the
General Plan and any other applicable planning document. As discussed in Findings
13 & 14 below, the proposed project meets these findings.
c. Circulation. The existing street can accommodate the estimated 200 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. The pedestrian spaces and circulation have been
designed in relationship to the land use and available parking. Pedestrian circulation
is provided through pedestrian-oriented building design, landscaping, and hardscape.
Public facilities have been, or will be constructed to serve the proposed project.
Further, the project has been conditioned to develop and implement a program of
“best management practices” for the elimination and reduction of pollutants which
enter into and/or are transported within storm drainage facilities.
d. Public Safety. The proposed building is required to be designed in conformance with
all seismic design standards of the California Building Code (CBC) and State building
requirements. Additionally, the proposed project design is consistent with all of the
applicable fire safety requirements; and the entire building is designed to be sprinkled
in accordance with National Fire Protection Agency Standard 13 and City of Carlsbad
regulations. Furthermore, the project has been conditioned to develop and
implement a program of “best management practices” for the elimination and
reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are transported within storm
drainage facilities.
e. Noise. The project site is primarily impacted by noise from the train which is located
approximately 350 feet to the west of the project site. The proposed project is
consistent with the Noise Element of the General Plan in that the project has been
conditioned to comply with the recommendations of the noise report (Rincon
Consultants, Environmental Scientists, Planners and Engineers, July, 2015) to ensure
that the proposed building design adequately attenuates the noise levels for the new
condominiums. Overall, no significant adverse noise impacts were identified that
would not be reduced by standard construction practices prescribed by the California
Energy Code Title 24 standards. In addition, a Notice will be required to be recorded
on title to notify future owners that the property is subject to noise from the railroad.
f. Land Use District 4 Standards. The project as designed is consistent with the
development standards for Land Use District 4, the Village Design Guidelines and all
other applicable regulations set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual as
discussed in the project staff report.

City Council Policy No. 43, Allocation for Excess Dwelling Units
12. That pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85.030, for any market-rate residential development of
seven (7) units or more units, not less than 15% of total units shall be restricted both as to
occupancy and affordability to lower income households. The proposal to construct 8 multi-
family condominium units includes one inclusionary unit which will satisfy the above-noted
requirement. The project has been conditioned to require the approval of an Affordable
Housing Agreement prior to recordation of the final map.
13. That the project location and density are compatible with the existing adjacent residential
neighborhoods and/or nearby existing or planned uses in that the project is consistent with the
adjacent mix of residential and commercial land uses and anticipated uses in that Land Use
District 4 of the Village Master Plan is intended to provide for a gradual transition in this
district to a mix of higher quality commercial and residential uses which will provide positive
support for the District 1 Village Center and reinforce the Village area north of Beech Street as
a quality residential neighborhood.
14. That the project location and density are in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
General Plan and any other applicable planning document, in that the Village (V) General Plan
Land Use designation allows residential development at a density range of 28 to 35 dwelling
units per acre. Based on a net acreage of 0.249 acres, the proposed 8 residential
condominium units have a density of 32.12 dwelling units per acre. The 13 timeshare units
are considered commercial living units for purposes of temporary lodging and do not count
towards project density. The one (1) commercial unit, consisting of 781 sq. ft. of ground floor
commercial space, is also not counted towards overall project density.
15. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank in the northwest
quadrant to allocate 8 units. Per the city’s Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report, 764 units remain
available for allocation in the Village.
California Environmental Quality Act:
16. 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 preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development
project. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in
Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
General
17. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public policies and ordinances. The project
