CASE NAME: WEST COAST SELF STORAGE CASE NO.: CUP 2017-0004/SUP 2017-0001 (DEV2017-0088) WHEREAS, Land Development, LLC, “Owner/Developer,” has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as: Parcel 3 as shown on Parcel Map No. 18059, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map thereof filed in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, July 2, 1998 (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Conditional Use Permit and Special Use Permit as shown on Exhibit(s) “A” – “R” dated October 18, 2017, on file in the Planning Division, CUP 2017-004/SUP 2017-0001 – WEST COAST SELF STORAGE, as provided by Chapter 21.42 and 21.40 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on October 18, 2017, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the CUP. 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 APPROVES CUP 2017-0004/SUP 2017-0001 – WEST COAST SELF-STORAGE FACILITY, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 7270 PC RESO NO. 7270 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Findings: Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2017-0004) 1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is located, in that the proposed self-storage facility will serve the adjacent industrial uses and local residents and draw customers from throughout the city, and provide a necessary service. The project will result in development of a currently vacant lot. The facility is in harmony with the General Plan by providing desired storage space for the office and business uses in the industrial area, and the proposed use has been designed to be compatible with the surrounding uses. 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed use is complementary to the existing and future industrial uses within the immediate vicinity that are located in a centralized area. Also, the location is appropriate for the use because the building is architecturally compatible with existing buildings in the Industrial (M) zone along El Camino Real. Lastly, ingress and egress to the site is safe by providing access off of a private entryway from Cougar Drive. 3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, Planning Commission or City Council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood in that the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate a self-storage facility. The site does not have any constraints that would impede development or require significant site alterations. The self-storage facility satisfies all applicable requirements, including but not limited to, setbacks; security fences with keypad entry; landscaping in the setbacks; and spandrel glass accents, reflective glass window treatments and varying building elevations to give the building architectural interest. Lastly, the design of the facility is compatible with the adjacent industrial buildings. 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use in that the project site will be accessed off of Cougar Drive, which serves the vicinity’s industrial complex, and that can accommodate the 168 ADT expected to be generated by the proposed self-storage use. The project is not anticipated to impact the existing levels of service on El Camino Real and Cougar Drive. Scenic Corridor Special Use Permit (SUP 2017-0001) 5. The project is consistent with the purposes of this chapter and all other applicable requirements of this code in that the self-storage facility satisfies all applicable requirements, including but not limited to, setbacks; security fences with keypad entry; landscaping in the setbacks; and spandrel glass accents, reflective glass window treatments and varying building elevations to give the building architectural interest. Lastly, the design of the facility is compatible with the adjacent industrial buildings. 6. That the requested development or use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings, will not be detrimental to existing development or uses or to development or uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed development or use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation. The proposed use is complementary to the existing and future industrial uses within the immediate PC RESO NO. 7270 -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 vicinity that are located in a centralized area. Also, the location is appropriate for the use because the building is architecturally compatible with existing buildings along El Camino Real. Lastly, ingress and egress to the site is safe by providing access off of a private entryway from Cougar Drive. 7. The project will not adversely affect the scenic, historical or cultural qualities of the property in that the project is located in Area 4 (College Avenue intersection to Sunfresh Rose Company) of the El Camino Real Corridor and displays a campus look within an industrial complex which is consistent with the development character of the area. There are no historical or cultural qualities of this vacant, previously graded site. General 8. 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 October 18, 2017 including, but not limited to the following: Land Use Element, Noise Element, Public Safety Element, and the Sustainability Elements. 9. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from the Habitat Management Plan (HMP), which is a comprehensive conservation plan and implementation program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and provide for effective protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while continuing to allow compatible development in accordance with Carlsbad’s Growth Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife habitats and sensitive species is required by the Open Space and Conservation Element of the City’s General Plan which provides for the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and environmental benefits from the preservation of open space within an increasingly urban environment. Moreover, each new development will contribute to the need for additional regional infrastructure that, in turn, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu Mitigation Fee imposed on all new development within the City is essential to fund implementation of the City’s Habitat Management Plan. Pursuant to the HMP, the project has been conditioned to pay a habitat in-lieu fee for impacts to 1.48-acres of Group F habitat (i.e. disturbed lands). 10. The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan- Palomar Airport (ALUCP), dated December 1, 2011, in that it is out the 60 dB CNEL range, a compatible use within Safety Zone 6, will not be a hazard to airspace, as determined by the FAA and overflight notification is not required for industrial uses. 11. 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 CEQA Guidelines. 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. 12. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 5 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.

That the project is consistent with the city’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50). 14. 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.
