WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to
the CUP.
WHEREAS, on November 6, 2013, the Planning Commission approved CUP 06-11(B), as
described and conditioned in Planning Commission Resolution No. 7020,
WHEREAS, on February 4, 2009, the Planning Commission approved MP 178(G), as
described and conditioned in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6531,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES
MP 178(J)/CUP 06-11(C) – PACIFIC RIDGE SCHOOL, based on the following findings and
subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Minor Master Plan Amendment
1. That the Master Plan Amendment is minor in nature as the amendment to modify the allowed
height of buildings with a less than 3:12 roof pitch to 30 feet and buildings with a roof pitch of
3:12 or greater to 40 feet by approval of a conditional use permit and to allow an onsite campus
oriented digital marquee sign will not change the densities or boundaries of the subject
property, or involve an addition of a new use or group of uses not shown on the original Master
Plan, or the rearrangement of uses within the Master Plan. The Master Plan is modified per
Exhibit “MP 178(J).”
Conditional Use Permit
1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in
harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including, if applicable, the
certified local coastal program, and Bressi Ranch Master Plan, in that the buildout of the private
school will provide additional educational opportunities for the residents of Carlsbad that are
currently not available. The project furthers the goals of the General Plan and Bressi Ranch
Master Plan by providing a land use that helps create a balanced and integrated community,
and through its central location, allows easy access for the residents of Bressi Ranch and
Carlsbad as a whole. All necessary public streets serving the Bressi Ranch Master Plan have
been constructed by the master developer which satisfies the Mobility Element. The project is
consistent with the Carlsbad Noise Manual in that the project has been conditioned that the
building closest to El Fuerte Street, the theater building, shall mitigate interior noise levels to
45 dBA CNEL through construction techniques.

2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the
zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the residences located south of the site
are separated from the existing athletic field by a 50 foot or greater landscape buffer as well as
a vertical separation of over 20 feet. Residences to the west are separated from the site by over
150 feet of vertical grade difference together with an intervening open space lot with a width
of 500 feet or greater.
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning
commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in
that the buildout plans for the school demonstrate that the proposed school buildings,
underground parking garage with an athletic field on top, and other required parking and
landscaping can fit within the boundaries of the developable portion of the property without
the need to encroach into the required setbacks. Adequate parking will be provided for each
phase of the development and the site circulation system will allow for safe and adequate drop-
off and pick-up of students.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed buildout of the private school would result
in 208 new Average Daily Trips (ADT). Current ADT on El Fuerte Street (a secondary arterial)
which has been constructed to carry volumes of between 10,000 and 20,000 ADT is 7,771. The
addition of 208 new ADT to El Fuerte Street will not have an adverse effect and represents a
0.03% increase.
5. 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 7, 2016 including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use – The private school is an allowed land use by Conditional Use Permit and is
designed to minimize potential incompatibilities with surrounding residential and
commercial land uses.
b. Mobility – The proposed project will not adversely impact the traffic circulation in that
the two existing driveways will be maintained and the parking lot has been designed to
meet the minimum fire access requirements. In addition, the proposed project
additional 208 ADT at buildout will not adversely impact the levels of service of the
surrounding roadways and key intersections, which are operating at an acceptable level
of service.
c. Noise – The proposed buildings are enclosed structures, noise generated by the
proposed use will be contained and noise impacts to the building closest to El Fuerte
Street, the theater building, will be mitigated through construction techniques to an
interior noise level of 45 dBA CNEL.
d. Public Safety – The project is accessible to emergency services through two points of
access and fire hydrant and flow requirements have been met, and the surrounding
open space area provides the required Fire Protection Zone buffers.
6. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 17 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

administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new
development prior to or concurrent with need.
7. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal Code Section
14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
8. The City Planner has determined that:
a. this project is within the scope of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) that was
previously adopted for CUP 06-11(A) and CUP 06-11(B) Pacific Ridge School Expansion,
and
b. this project is consistent with the project cited above;
c. the MND for CUP 06-11(A) and CUP 06-11(B) Pacific Ridge School Expansion , 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 MND;
e. none of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent MND or a Supplemental MND under
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist.
9. The Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration adopted for CUP 06-11(A) and CUP 06-11(B) Pacific Ridge School Expansion
which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent
Project.
10. 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.

permit or recordation of final map, whichever comes first; or pursuant to an approved
construction schedule at the discretion of the appropriate division manager or official.

by Developer or a successor in interest by the City’s approval of this Master Plan Amendment
and Conditional Use Permit Amendment.
2. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require the Developer to make, all corrections and
modifications to the Master Plan Amendment and Conditional Use Permit Amendment
documents, as necessary to make them internally consistent and in conformity with the final
action on the project. Development shall occur substantially as shown on the approved Exhibits.
