Findings:
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and
all applicable policies in that the site is designated for single-family residential development and
the project proposes single-family residential development; the development is consistent with
the LCP Mello II land use designation of R-4; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources,
geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist onsite; and given the
project’s distance from the coastline, the two-story single-family residence will not obstruct
views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way nor otherwise damage
the visual beauty of the coastal zone.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the coastal shoreline and; therefore,
will not interfere with the public’s right to physical access or water-oriented recreational
activities.
3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the city's Master
Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and
Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants,
and soil erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and
the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion,
floods, or liquefaction.
4. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 20 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. 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.
5. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the city’s General Plan, in that the General Plan Land Use designation for the
property is R-4 Residential. The R-4 designation allow for the development of single-family
residences at a density range of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth
Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 du/ac at the R-4 GMCP. The project's density was
previously evaluated at the subdivision level (Rhodes Minor Subdivision - MS 08-02/CDP 08-06)
to have a density of 4.67 dwelling units per acre which is above the maximum range of the
General Plan Land Use designation. The Land Use Element of the General Plan in effect at the
time of the subdivision approval allowed for the development of one single-family home
subject to consistency findings. The proposed single-family home remains consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Designation consistency findings. The project is conditioned to pay an
inclusionary housing in-lieu fee for one (1) unit.

6. The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-
Palomar Airport (ALUCP), dated December 1, 2011, in that the project is construction of a new
residence that is within the Overflight Notification area. As a requirement of ALUCP Section
3.6.3, the project has been conditioned to require the applicant to record a notice concerning
aircraft noise.
7. 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 15303(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines. More specifically, CEQA
Section 15303(a) – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, is a Class 3 exemption
that includes the construction of one single-family residence. Consistent with the section, the
project is proposing to construct a new single-family residence, which is located on a
residentially zoned property. 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.
8. 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.

NOTE: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to the approval of a
building permit or grading permit, whichever occurs 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.
