A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES
CT 2017-0002/PUD 2017-0001 (DEV2017-0021) – TYLER STREET RESIDENCES, based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
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 proposed one-lot tentative tract
map for an eight-unit air-space condominium subdivision is consistent with the General Plan
and satisfies all minimum requirements of 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 surrounding
properties are designated for residential development on the General Plan and are developed
with single-family and multiple-family homes of comparable densities and lot sizes.
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 R-30 Residential General Plan Land Use designation allows residential development at
a density range of 23 to 30 dwelling units per acre. Based on a net acreage of 0.34 acre, the
proposed eight residential condominium units have a density of 23.5 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 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.
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 applicant
proposes to purchase one (1) housing credit within the Tavarua Affordable Housing Project, or
an alternative solution 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 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 (Tyler Street) can accommodate the
estimated 64 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.
Planned Development Permit
11. 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 project’s proposed density of 23.5 du/ac is within the R-30 Residential density range of
23-30 du/ac. As discussed in the project staff report, the project is consistent with all
development and design standards applicable to the property as contained in Chapters 21.24
(Multiple-Family Residential (RD-M)) Zone and 21.45 (Planned Developments) of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
12. 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 eight-unit residential air-space condominium project is
compatible with existing surrounding single-family residential and multiple-family residential
uses as permitted by the Residential Density – Multiple (RD-M) Zone and does not create any
traffic circulation impacts as Tyler Street is adequately designed to accommodate the 64
Average Daily Trips (ADT) being generated.
13. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the eight-
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.
14. 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 three-story, eight-unit residential air-space condominium project is an
upgrade to the site and the surrounding neighborhood. The three-story project is
architecturally harmonious with the surrounding environment in that it is designed with beach
cottage and California Craftsman architectural influences. Simple hip roof forms with exposed
rafters and knee braces provide visual interest. Building materials include stucco, gray shingles
and white vertical board and batt siding. Stone veneer entry walls, wood railings, and door and
window trim enhances the project’s architecture. Composite asphalt shingles cover the roofs
with copper standing seam accent roofs mixed in to add variety and visual interest. All elements
(i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping) create continuity in the overall project design.

15. 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
August 2, 2017, including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use & Community Design – The eight-unit multi-family residential project density of
23.5 dwelling units per acre is within the R-30 Residential density range of 23-30 du/ac and
below the GMCP (25 du/ac). The project will deposit one dwelling unit into the city’s Excess
Dwelling Unit Bank. Therefore, the project is consistent with the project site’s Residential
Density – Multiple (RD-M) zoning and the General Plan Land Use Designation of R-30
Residential.
b. Mobility – The proposed project has been designed to meet all of the circulation
requirements, which include a single driveway access point from Tyler Street. In addition,
the applicant will be required to pay traffic impact fees prior to issuance of building permits
that will go toward future road improvements. The proposed project will construct a
sidewalk along Tyler Street and will provide pedestrian access to and from the project.
c. Noise – The project consists of two, four-unit condominium buildings (eight units). A noise
study by Ldn Consulting, Inc., dated April 3, 2017 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.
d. Housing – The city’s Housing Policy Team reviewed the proposed project and recommended
the applicant purchase one inclusionary housing credit in the Tavarua Affordable Housing
Project to fulfill the project’s affordable housing requirement. The developer has shown
that constructing one affordable housing unit on-site would not be financially feasible since
it would require the market rate units to be offered for sale well above the prevailing
market prices. In addition, the eight-unit project is the minimum number of units required
for the R-30 Residential designated site and the project has already maximized the space in
which to build the eight units. The project has been conditioned to require the approval of
an Affordable Housing Agreement prior to recordation of the final map.
e. Public Safety – The proposed structural improvements will be 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 including fire sprinklers.
Further, 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.
16. 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.

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.
17. That the project is consistent with the city’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
18. 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 Projects, of the state California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, of the state CEQA Guidelines.
19. 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 issuance of grading
permit, building permit, or recordation of the Final Tract Map, whichever comes first.

fees in-lieu thereof, imposed by this approval or imposed by law on this Project are challenged,
this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section 66020. If any such
condition is determined to be invalid, this approval shall be invalid unless the City Council
determines that the project without the condition complies with all requirements of law.

and sewer facilities, respectively, are available to the project at the time of the application for the
building permit, and that water and sewer capacity and facilities will continue to be available until
the time of occupancy. A note to this effect shall be placed on the Final Map.
11. Developer shall pay the citywide Public Facilities Fee imposed by City Council Policy #17, the
License Tax on new construction imposed by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 5.09.030, and CFD
#1 special tax (if applicable), subject to any credits authorized by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section

invoice shall be due and payable by the Association within twenty (20) days of receipt by the
Association. If the Association shall fail to pay such invoice in full within the period specified,
payment shall be deemed delinquent and shall be subject to a late charge in an amount equal
to six percent (6%) of the amount of the invoice. Thereafter the city may pursue collection
from the Association by means of any remedies available at law or in equity. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the
city, the city may levy a special assessment against the Owners of each Lot in the Project for
an equal pro rata share of the invoice, plus the late charge. Such special assessment shall
constitute a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon each Lot against which the
special assessment is levied. Each Owner in the Project hereby vests the city with the right
and power to levy such special assessment, to impose a lien upon their respective Lot and to
bring all legal actions and/or to pursue lien foreclosure procedures against any Owner and
his/her respective Lot for purposes of collecting such special assessment in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Article of this Declaration.

copy of the Condominium Plan filed with the Bureau of Real Estate which is in conformance with
the city-approved documents and exhibits.
18. All roof appurtenances, including air conditioners, shall be architecturally integrated and
concealed from view and the sound buffered from adjacent properties and streets, in substance
as provided in Building Department Policy No. 80-6, to the satisfaction of the Director of
Community Development and Planning.
19. If satisfaction of the school facility requirement involves a Mello-Roos Community Facilities
District or other financing mechanism which is inconsistent with City Council Policy No. 38, by
allowing a pass-through of the taxes or fees to individual home buyers, then in addition to any
other disclosure required by law or Council policy, the Developer shall disclose to future owners
in the project, to the maximum extent possible, the existence of the tax or fee, and that the school
district is the taxing agency responsible for the financing mechanism. The form of notice is subject
to the approval of the City Planner and shall at least include a handout and a sign inside the sales
facility, or inside each unit, stating the fact of a potential pass-through of fees or taxes exists and
where complete information regarding those fees or taxes can be obtained.
