Findings:
Tentative Tract Map CT 2017-0004
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 a seven-unit air-space condominium subdivision (six residential units and one non-
residential unit) is consistent with the General Plan and satisfies all minimum requirements of
the Village Master Plan, and Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code with respect to
public facilities, access and parking as discussed in the project staff report dated December 20,
2017 and findings below.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties are developed, are currently designated as Village (V) in the General Plan and are
located in Land Use District 1 – Carlsbad Village Center, of the Village Master Plan. The subject
property is bordered to the north by commercial and residential; to the south by residential
across Oak Avenue; to the east by residential and commercial uses across Madison Street; and
to the west by an alley and a single-family residence. The adjacent properties to the north, west
and east are also located in Land Use District 1 of the Village Master Plan which allows a wide
variety of uses including mixed-use developments which are permitted by right in Land Use
District 1. The properties across Oak Avenue to the south are currently designated for multiple-
family residential. Therefore, the mixed-use project of multi-family residential and a small
commercial space is compatible with existing land uses and surrounding future land uses.
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 Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation allows residential development at a
density range of 28 to 35 dwelling units per acre. Based on the gross acreage of 0.19 acres, the
proposed six residential condominium units have a density of 31.6 dwelling units per acre. Since
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 proposed
six-unit residential project is conditioned to pay an inclusionary housing fee for six units.

8. 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 vacant, 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 streets can accommodate the estimated 88
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.
Major Review Permit RP 2017-0009
11. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the city’s General Plan, and the development standards of the Village Review
Zone and the Village Master Plan and Design Manual, based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated December 20, 2017, including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use – The proposed project, which includes the construction of six new residential
condominiums and a 943 square foot commercial space, would enhance the vitality of the
Village by providing new residential and commercial land uses near the downtown core
area. The project reinforces the pedestrian orientation desired for the downtown area by
providing residents an opportunity to walk to shopping, recreation, and mass transit
functions. The project’s proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit would help to
further the goal of providing new economic development near transportation corridors.
Overall, the mixed-use project would contribute to the revitalization of the Village area with
its proposed residential and commercial uses.
Mobility – The proposed project has been designed to meet all of the circulation
requirements, which include maintaining or enhancing frontage improvements consisting
of sidewalks on both frontages and landscaping. In addition, the applicant would be
required to pay traffic impact fees prior to the issuance of building permits that would go
towards future road improvements. The proposed project is located approximately one-
half mile from the Carlsbad Village Drive train station which provides rail and bus service
throughout the day. The project’s proximity to the transit station would provide residents
with the opportunity to commute to major job centers, thereby reducing vehicle miles
traveled (VMTs) and their carbon footprint. Furthermore, the project supports walkability
and mobility by locating the project near existing goods and services within the Village.
b. Noise – The proposed project is consistent with the Noise Element of the General Plan in
that the project has been conditioned to comply with the construction requirements of the
noise analysis report (ABC Acoustics, Inc., dated March 22, 2017) to ensure that the
proposed building design adequately attenuates the noise levels for the new
condominiums.

c. Housing – The inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the payment of
an in-lieu fee for projects that have less than seven units. The project has been conditioned
to require the payment of the housing in-lieu fee for six (6) units prior to issuance of a
building permit.
d. Public Safety – The proposed structural improvements would be required to meet all seismic
design standards. In addition, the proposed project is consistent with all of the applicable
fire safety requirements. The project would be required 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. The project has
been conditioned to pay all applicable public facilities fees for Zone 1 and meet with the fire
marshal to determine if public fire hydrants are required.
e. Land Use District 1 Standards – The project, as designed, is consistent with the development
standards for Land Use District 1, the Village Design Guidelines, and all other applicable
regulations set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual as discussed in the
project staff report dated December 20, 2017. The project is not requesting any deviations
to the development standards. All required residential parking is located on-site and the
applicant is requesting to participate in the Parking In-Lieu fee program for the four (4)
required commercial parking spaces.
12. 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 proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village 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 while 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 reinforcing pedestrian retail continuity
within the Village commercial areas; and 3) improves the physical appearance of the Village
Area by developing a vacant site on the northwest corner of Madison Street and Oak
Avenue 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 1
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 commercial/retail uses on
Madison 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 existing bus
routes and mass transit help to further the goal of providing new economic and residential
development near transportation corridors; and lastly, it will contribute to the revitalization
of the Village area in the form of a new building in the core of the Village, new commercial
lease space, new employment opportunities and new patrons.

c. Adequate parking is available within the Village to accommodate the project's parking
demands in that a parking study (Kimley-Horn, September 14, 2017) was recently completed
for the Village and Barrio areas. 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 70 percent at 1:00 P.M. on a weekday in May 2016 and 67
percent on a weekend in July 2016. The overall average occupancy per the study was 51
percent. This utilization ratio allows for continued implementation of the parking in-lieu
fee program because it is less than the 85 percent 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.
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 1 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 positive 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 (V) General Plan
Land Use designation allows residential development at a density range of 28 to 35 dwelling
units per acre. Based on an acreage of 0.19 acres, the proposed six residential condominium
units have a density of 31.6 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project is consistent with the
intent of Land Use District 1 of the Village Master Plan and will contribute towards the overall
revitalization of the Village Area.
15. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank in the Northwest
Quadrant to allocate six units. Per the city’s Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report (latest available
dated October 31, 2017), 584 units remain available for allocation in the Village.
General
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
