the Zoning Code Amendment, Local Coastal Program Amendment and Village Master Plan and Design
Manual Amendment.
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 ZCA 2017-0002/LCPA 2017-0003/AMEND 2017-0006 –
PROHIBITED USES CLARIFICATION AMENDMENT, based on the following findings:
Findings:
1. That the proposed Zone Code Amendment ZCA 2017-0002 is consistent with the General Plan in
that that the proposed amendment does not conflict with the goals and policies of the General
Plan.
2. That the proposed ZCA reflects sound principles of good planning in that it is desirable for
Carlsbad’s land use regulations to maintain internal consistency with the rest of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
3. That the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment meets the requirements of, and is in
conformity with, the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and all applicable policies of the
Carlsbad Local Coastal Program not being amended by this amendment, in that the amendments
ensure consistency with the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance and do not conflict with any coastal
zone regulations, land use designations or policies, with which development must comply.
4. That the proposed amendment to the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program is required to bring it into
consistency with the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZCA 2017-0002 and Village
Master Plan and Design Manual Amendment AMEND 2017-0006.
5. That the City Planner has determined that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the project may have a significant effect on the environment in that the project is exempt
from the provisions of CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3) (General Rule)
and City of Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 19.04.070(A)(1)(c). Minor municipal code and
other similar amendments which refine or clarify existing land use standards are considered not
to have a significant effect on the environment.
6. Outside the Coastal Zone, ZCA 2017-0002 and AMEND 2017-0006 shall become effective thirty
days after approval by the City Council. Within the Coastal Zone, ZCA 2017-0002 and AMEND
2017-0006 shall not become effective until LCPA 2017-0003 is approved by the California Coastal
Commission.
