Findings:
Tentative Tract Map
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 five-unit one- and two-family
residential air-space condominium project created through the tentative tract map satisfy all
the minimum requirements of Title 20 and have been designed to comply with other applicable
regulations including, the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Planned Development
Ordinance, Growth Management Ordinance, and the R-15 General Plan Land Use designation.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties are developed and are currently designated as R-15 Residential or Village (V) in the
General Plan and are located in Land Use District 2 of the Village Master Plan. The subject
property is bordered to the north by multiple-family residential; to the west by senior
apartments, to the east by single-family residential and to the south by existing
office/commercial buildings with a proposal to replace the development with a multiple-family
residential project (CT 16-09). Given the existing, surrounding single-family and multiple-family
residential development, the one- and two-family residential condominium project is
compatible with existing and future land uses.
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 development standards and design criteria required by the Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) Zone and the Planned Development Ordinance are incorporated into the five-
unit residential air-space condominium project without the need for any variances from
development standards.
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 five-unit residential
air-space condominium project has been designed and conditioned so that there are no conflicts
with established easements and no additional right-of-way is required.
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 structures have been designed to
include operable windows on all elevations and balconies to maximize exposure of each unit to
natural light and ventilation from nearby coastal breezes, if desired.
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 proposed
five-unit residential project is conditioned to pay an inclusionary housing fee for five units.
8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, in
that the five-unit residential air-space condominium project site has been previously graded
and developed as a paved parking lot and is surrounded by existing development.

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.
Planned Development Permit
10. 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 11.9 dwelling units per acre for the five-unit residential air-space
condominium project is consistent with the R-15 Residential Land Use designation (8-15
du/acre). 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 Chapters 21.16
(Multiple-Family Residential(R-3)) Zone and 21.45 (Planned Developments) of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code. The proposed project meets the intent and purpose of City Council Policy No.
44 in that it is visually interesting, has sufficient building articulation, is in scale to the lot size,
and contributes to the creation of livable neighborhoods as further described in Section C of the
staff report.
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 five-unit residential air-space condominium project does not
propose or require any variances from standards; is compatible with existing surrounding
single-family residential and multiple-family uses as permitted by the Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) Zone; and does not create any traffic circulation impacts as Home Avenue is
adequately designed to accommodate the 40 Average Daily Trips (ADT) being generated.
12. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the five-
unit residential air-space condominium project has been designed to comply with all applicable
development standards to ensure compatibility with surrounding single-family and multiple-
family residential 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 five-unit residential air-space condominium project is arranged with units on
both sides of a private drive aisle down the middle of the site on the that is enhanced by
decorative pavers. The three story homes with attached two-car garages are architecturally
harmonious with each other and includes a variety of materials, roof planes and different roof
pitches. Primary building materials consist of smooth finish stucco, wood board and batten
siding, and horizontal lap siding. Composite asphalt shingles cover varying roof pitches (3:12 –
8:12); and wood balcony posts and railing are located along the edges of the balconies and
decks. All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping) create continuity in the overall
project design.
General
14. 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 March
15, 2017 including, but not limited to the following:

A. Land Use – The five-unit residential air-space condominium project is consistent with the
elements and objectives of the General Plan as discussed in Section “A” of the project staff
report. The five-unit residential project density at 11.9 dwelling units per acre is within the
R-15 Residential density range of 8-15 du/ac and above the R-15 Residential minimum of 8
du/ac used for the purpose of calculating the city’s compliance with Government Code
Section 65863. However, the project is 0.17 dwelling units above the GMCP (11.5 du/ac)
and therefore 0.17 dwelling units will be withdrawn from the city’s excess dwelling unit
bank consistent with City Council Policy No. 43.
B. Mobility – The project will take access off of Home Avenue, which has full street
improvements along its frontage. The project has been conditioned to install all
infrastructure-related improvements (including but not limited to curb, gutter and
sidewalk) and any necessary easements for these improvements concurrent with
development. In addition, the applicant will be required to pay traffic impact fees prior to
issuance of building permit that will go towards future road improvements.
C. Public Safety – The five-unit residential air-space condominium project is located within a
five minute response time of Fire Station No. 1, will provide an automatic sprinkler system
within each dwelling unit, and is consistent with the fire code. The proposed structural
improvements are required to be designed in conformance with all seismic design
standards. In addition, the proposed project is consistent with all of the applicable fire
safety requirements.
D. Noise – The project consists of three detached single-family dwelling units and two attached
units. A noise study by Veneklasen Associates, dated November 11, 2016 was provided.
The windows of each unit will need to be closed to meet a 45 dB(a) CNEL interior noise level.
Therefore, mechanical ventilation is required. In addition, the project is conditioned to
comply with the construction requirements of the aforementioned noise study.
E. Housing – The five-unit residential air-space condominium project is consistent with the
Housing Element of the General Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as the project
has been conditioned to pay an affordable housing in-lieu fee on a per unit basis prior to
final map approval.
15. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 1 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
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,
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 1 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
16. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).

17. That 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 the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15332, In-fill Development Project, of the state California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, of the state CEQA Guidelines.
18. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
