Findings:
Tentative Tract Map, CT 16-02
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 17 airspace condominium subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and satisfies
all minimum requirements of the Village Master Plan, and Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code 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 three story office building and the Maxton
Brown Park; to the south by a newly constructed 47 unit three story air space residential
condominium project (Seagrove by Taylor Morrison); to the east by an established 21 unit three
story air space residential condominium project (Laguna Point); and to the west by the North
County Transit District storage yard and parking lot. 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 0.487 acres, the
proposed 17 residential condominium units have a density of 34.89 dwelling units per acre. As
the proposed project falls within the allowable density range and meets all required
development standards, the project is consistent with this finding.
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 multi-family residential
units have an east-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 three (3) inclusionary units. Specifically, the applicant proposes

to purchase three housing credits within the Tavarua Housing project or an alternative solution
will need to be authorized by the City Council, to satisfy their inclusionary housing obligations prior
to the issuance of a building permit. As such, the project has been conditioned to require the
approval of an Affordable Housing Agreement prior to approval 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 previously developed infill lot is devoid of sensitive vegetation and any natural water
features; therefore, the proposed project 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 136
average daily trips (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 16-08
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 February 15, 2017, including, but not limited to the following:
A. Land Use: The proposed project, which includes the demolition of an existing one story
office building located at 2501 State Street and the construction of 17 new townhomes,
will enhance the vitality of the Village, specifically Land Use District 4 (Residential
Support Area), by providing new residential land uses in close proximity to the
downtown core area as well as the train station. The project reinforces the pedestrian-
orientation desired for the downtown area by providing the residents an opportunity
to walk to shopping, recreation, and mass transit functions. The project’s proximity to
existing bus routes and mass transit will help to further the goal of providing new
economic development near transportation corridors. Further, the proposed project
contributes towards the overall goal of creating a quality residential neighborhood
north of Beech Street in that an older commercial land use (office building) is proposed
to be removed and replaced with 17 high-quality townhomes which exhibit a coastal
Contemporary architectural design. Overall, the residential project will contribute
towards the revitalization of the Village area.
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 proposed project is
conditioned to purchase three housing credits to fully satisfy the inclusionary
requirement. On March 17, 2016, the City’s Housing Policy Team recommended
approval of the above-noted proposal. The provision for inclusionary housing will
contribute towards achieving the city’s Regional Housing Needs. The project has been
accordingly-conditioned to require the approval of an Affordable Housing Agreement
prior to approval of the final map.

C. Circulation: State Street can accommodate the estimated 136 ADTs. In addition, all
required public right-of-way has been, or will be, dedicated and improved to serve the
development. The circulation has been designed in relationship to the proposed
residential land use and available parking. Public improvements including but not
limited to curb, gutter, and sidewalk will be constructed to serve the proposed project.
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 415 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 analysis report (Michael
Baker International, dated August 2016) to ensure that the proposed building design
adequately attenuates the noise levels for the new condominiums. While no significant
impacts were identified, the Noise Impact Study recommendations include 1) sound
rated windows and entry doors for residential units located along the southern and
eastern portions of the development, and 2) noise attenuating treatment (42 inch high
barrier) for the outdoor deck areas located within the same portions of development
noted above.
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. The project is not requesting any deviations to the
development standards.
City Council Policy No. 43, Allocation for Excess Dwelling Units
12. That the City’s Housing Policy Team recommended approval of the request for an allocation of
17 units from the EDUB on March 17, 2016.
13. That pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85.030, for any market-rate residential development of seven
(7) 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 17 multi-family
condominium units is satisfying its inclusionary housing obligation through the purchase of
three (3) housing credits within the Tavarua Affordable Housing Project if available at time of
building permit issuance, or an alternative solution will need to be authorized subject to City
Council approval. The project has been accordingly conditioned to require the approval of an
Affordable Housing Agreement prior to approval of the final map.
14. 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 non-residential 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.

15. 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 0.487 acres, the proposed 17 residential condominium
units have a density of 34.89 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project is consistent with
the intent of Land Use District 4 of the Village Master Plan and will contribute towards the
overall revitalization of the Village Area.
16. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank in the northwest
quadrant to allocate 17 units. Per the city’s Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report (dated November
2016), 759 units remain available for allocation in the Village.
California Environmental Quality Act:
17. 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
18. 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 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,

19. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
20. 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.
Conditions:
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to the approval of the
final map, demolition permit, grading permit or building permit whichever occurs first.
