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
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of RP 2016-0001/CT 2016-0002 – TOWNHOUSE, based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Major Review Permit RP 2016-0001
1. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is on conformance with
the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated May
17, 2017 including, but not limited to the following:
A. Land Use Goal 2-G.30: Develop a distinct identity for the Village by encouraging a variety
of uses and activities, such as a mix of residential, commercial office, restaurants and
specialty retail shops, which traditionally locate in a pedestrian–oriented downtown area
and attract visitors and residents from across the community by creating a lively and
interesting social environment.
Land Use Policy 2-P.70: Seek an increased presence of both residents and activity in the
Village with new development, particularly residential, including residential as part of a
mixed-use development, as well as commercial, entertainment and cultural uses that
serve both residents and visitors.
The proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies for the Village, as outlined
within the General Plan, because it provides a mix of multi-family residential and office
uses in an appropriate location (Land Use District 4 – Residential Support Area) within
the Village. This in turn serves to enhance and maintain the area with a mix of higher
quality office and residential uses which will support the Village center. It also increases
the number of and improves the condition and appearance of housing units within the
Village. By providing more residential and office opportunities, the project helps to
create a lively, interesting social environment by encouraging and increasing the
opportunity for 24-hour life in the Village, which provides the necessary customer base
to attract complementary uses. The project reinforces the pedestrian-orientation
desired for the downtown area by providing the new residents an opportunity to walk
to shopping, recreation, and mass transit functions. The project’s proximity to mass
transit will help to further the goal of providing new economic development near
transportation corridors. Furthermore, the project will provide a strong street presence
with extensive architectural relief and visually subordinate parking. Overall, the new
residential units will enhance the Village as a place for living and working.
B. Circulation Policy 3-P.5: Require developers to construct or pay their fair share toward
improvements for all travel modes consistent with the Mobility Element, the Growth
Management Plan, and specific impacts associated with their development.

The applicant will be required to pay traffic impact fees prior to issuance of building
permit that will go towards future circulation improvements.
C. Noise Goal 5-G.2: Ensure that new development is compatible with the noise
environment, by continuing to use potential noise exposure as a criterion in land use
planning.
Noise Policy 5.P.2: Require a noise study analysis be conducted for all discretionary
development proposals located where projected noise exposure would be other than
“normally acceptable.”
A noise study was prepared by Ldn Consulting, Inc. (January 31, 2017) and determined
that the worst-case cumulative noise level from all roadways was found to be 65.0 dBA
CNEL and 85.0 dBA CNEL intermittently when the train is passing by. Standard building
construction will provide a noise reduction of approximately 12-15 dBA with a windows
open condition, and a minimum 20 dBA noise reduction with the windows closed. To
meet the 45 dBA CNEL interior noise standard, all glass assemblies facing or having a
direct line of site to the railroad tracks should be dual-paned and acoustical sealant
applied around the exterior edges having an STC 32 rating.
D. Housing Policy 10-P.15: Pursuant to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, require
affordability for lower income households of a minimum of 15 percent of all residential
ownership and qualifying rental projects.
With seven residential units proposed, one affordable housing unit is required of the
proposed project. The inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the
purchase of housing credits. Providing an onsite affordable residential unit is not
financially feasible in a project of this size. By purchasing a housing credit, the city is
able to recover a portion of its cost of providing affordable housing opportunities to
low-income households. The project has been conditioned to require the execution of
an affordable housing agreement prior to recordation of the final map.
2. That the project is consistent with the Village Review Zone and the Village Master Plan and Design
Manual in that the project as designed is consistent with the development standards for Land
Use District 4, the Village Design Guidelines and other applicable regulations set forth in the
Village Master Plan and Design Manual as discussed in the staff report dated May 17, 2017.
3. The Developer/Property owner qualifies to participate in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program and
participation in the program will satisfy the parking requirements for the project. Justification for
participation in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program is contained in the following findings:
A. The project is consistent with Village Review Master Plan and Design Manual in that the
project assists in satisfying the goals and objectives through the following actions: 1)
The mixed-use project stimulates property improvements and new development in the
Village by constructing a new permitted mixed-use building in an area with a mix of
dated buildings and increasing the intensity of development within the Village, 2) It
establishes Carlsbad Village as a quality shopping, working and living environment by
providing new employment opportunities, increasing the number, quality, and diversity
of housing units within the Village, and reinforces the pedestrian environment within
the Village, and 3) Improves the physical appearance of the Village Area by redeveloping
an underutilized site on State Street with a new attractive building that adheres to the
land use regulations and design guidelines set forth for the area.

B. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and objectives set forth for Land Use
District 4 of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual in that the mixed-use
development not only provides mutually supportive uses in the form of residential, and
office uses on State Street, but reinforces the pedestrian-orientation desired for the
downtown area by providing new residents and employees an opportunity to walk to
local shopping, dining, recreation, and mass transit functions. Furthermore, its close
proximity to mass transit help to further the goal of providing new economic and
residential development near transportation corridors. The development will
contribute to the revitalization of the Village area in the form of a new building in a
residential support area of the Village, new office lease space, new employment
opportunities and new patrons.
C. Adequate parking is available within the Village to accommodate the project's parking
demands. A parking study was recently completed for the Village and Barrio areas and
parking occupancies were observed in the morning (9 A.M.), afternoon (1:00 P.M.), and
evening (7:00 P.M.). The highest occupancy for all public parking lots combined in the
Village was 72% at 1:00 P.M. in May of 2016. This utilization ratio allows for continued
implementation of the parking in-lieu fee program because it is less than the 85%
threshold for maximum utilization set by the City Council.
D. The In-Lieu Fee Program has not been suspended or terminated by the City Council.
Carlsbad Tract Map CT 2016-0002
4. 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 project: Implements the goals and
policies of the General Plan as discussed in finding number one of this resolution, Is consistent
with all minimum requirements of Titles 20 and 21 governing lot size and configuration, and has
been designed to comply with all applicable city regulations.
5. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties are designated for residential and office development on the General Plan and are
designated with a similar density of 28 – 35 dwelling units per acre.
6. 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 minimum development standards and design criteria required by the
applicable zoning ordinances are incorporated into the project.
7. 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.
8. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act
of 1965 (Williamson Act).

9. 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 are oriented for solar
exposure and to take advantage of prevailing breezes to the extent that is feasible given the
site’s location. In addition, an uncovered interior courtyard is provided on levels two, three, and
four that will allow natural light into the areas of the units that face toward the interior of the
building.
10. 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 and that the proposed
housing can be adequately served by the existing public services and no new facilities are
required.
11. 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 project site has been previously developed and does not contain any sensitive
resources or habitat.
12. 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.
City Council Policy No. 43, Allocation for Excess Dwelling Units
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 to a mix of
higher quality commercial and residential uses which will provide support for the core of the
Village.
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 Master Plan and
Design Manual designates District 4 with a residential density range of 28 to 35 dwelling units
per acre. The Village Master Plan implements the Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation.
A density range of 28 to 35 dwelling units per acre is allowed in District 4. Based on a net acreage
of 0.22 acres, the resulting minimum unit yield is 3.1 dwelling units and maximum yield is 7.7
units, or 7 units rounded. The proposal for seven residential units falls within the allowable
range (three to seven units) for the dwelling unit yield.
15. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank (EDUB) to allocate
seven units. The project is located in the Village Review Zone where a Growth Management
Control Point has not been established. Therefore seven residential units will be deducted from
the EDUB. Per the city’s Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report (February 28, 2017), 657 units remain
available for allocation in the Village.
