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, the
project proposes additions to an existing single-family residence and the development is
consistent with the LCP Mello II R-4 land use designation. No agricultural activities, sensitive
resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist onsite. Given
the project’s distance from the coastline, the additions, including a second floor to the existing
one-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 shore; therefore, it 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 1 and all city public 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 allows for additions/alterations to an existing
single-family residence 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. One dwelling unit is permitted on this 0.47
acre lot. Therefore, the project is consistent with the Elements of the General Plan.
6. 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 15301(e) – additions to an existing structure – 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.

7. 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.
