ATTACHMENT 1
WHEREAS, Magnolia A3, LLC, "Applicant" and "Owner," has filed a verified application with the
City of Carlsbad regarding properties described as:
Portions Tract 245 of Thum Lands, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San
Diego, State of California, according to Map No. 1681, filed in the Office of
the San Diego Recorder on December 9, 1915
("the Property"); and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Tentative Tract Map as shown on
Exhibits "A" -"F", dated September 5, 2018, on file in the Planning Division, CT 2018-0003 -MAGNOLIA-
BRADY, as provided by Title 20 and Chapter 21.10 of Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on September 5, 2018, 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 Tentative Tract
Map.
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 Planning Commission
APPROVES CT 2018-0003 -MAGNOLIA-BRADY based on the following findings and subject to the following
conditions:
Findings:
Tentative Tract Map, CT 2018-0003
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 tentative tract map for seven single-
family lots and one common lot for the detention basin implements the goals and policies of the
General Plan as discussed in the staff report and the findings below; the project is consistent with
all minimum requirements of Title 20; and the project has been designed to comply with other
applicable regulations, including the Growth Management Ordinance and the R-4 General Plan
Land Use designation.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties to the north and west are developed with single-family homes on lots ranging in size
from 8,760 to 16,117 square feet. The proposed lots range in size from 8,999 to 10,729 square feet.
The properties to the south and east are developed with schools. The proposal to subdivide two
(2) single-family lots into seven single-family lots and one common lot is therefore compatible with
the adjacent 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 all required development standards and design criteria required by the applicable zoning
ordinances are incorporated into the project without the need for variances from development
standards.
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 the lots are oriented to allow for solar
exposure and take advantage of prevailing breezes.
7. That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing which will be
developed as a result of the proposed 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 seven-unit single-family residential subdivision is
conditioned to provide one accessory dwelling unit on-site to comply with the lnclusionary Housing
Ordinance.
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 project applicant is required to pay in-lieu mitigation fees for the removal of 1.05 acres of
disturbed habitat (1:1 ratio).
PC RESO NO. 7308 -2-
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 incorporates a detention
basin on Lot 8, in accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality protection.
Further, in accordance with the city's sewer and drainage standards, the project is conditioned to
comply with the city's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP
Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP).
General
10. 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 September
5, 2018 including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use -The General Plan Land Use designation for the project site is R-4, Residential,
0-4 dwelling units per acre with a GMCP of 3.2 du/acre. The project site has a net
developable acreage of 1.74 acres. The project's proposed density, 4 dwelling units per
acre, is at the top of the density range and therefore, also above the R-4 GMCP of 3.2 du/ac,
which is utilized for the purposes of calculating the city's compliance with Government
Code Section 65863.
At the GMCP, six dwelling units would be permitted on the 1.74-acre (net) property.
Although the proposal to construct seven dwelling units exceeds the GMCP for the R-4
General Plan Land Use designation by 1 dwelling unit, Policy 2-P.8 of the Land Use and
Community Design Element allows the city to approve residential development at a
density that exceeds the GMCP for the applicable density range, provided the proposed
residential development meets the following findings: 1) the project qualifies for an
allocation of "excess" dwelling units pursuant to City Council Policy No. 43 (please see
Finding Nos. 12-15 below); 2) there have been sufficient developments in the northwest
quadrant that have developed at densities below the GMCP to support an allocation of 1
dwelling unit from the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank and pursuant to the city's Quadrant
Dwelling Unit Report (June 2018), 413 excess dwelling units remain available for allocation
in the city (outside of the Village) and the northwest quadrant has a remaining capacity to
accept 133 dwelling units; and 3) all necessary public facilities required by the city's Growth
Management Program will be constructed, or are guaranteed to be constructed,
concurrently with the need for them created by this development and in compliance with
the adopted city standards in that the project is conditioned to pay the appropriate fees
to comply with the city's Growth Management Program.
b. Housing -The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and the
lnclusionary Housing Ordinance in that the developer has been conditioned to enter into
an Affordable Housing Agreement to construct one accessory dwelling unit on-site.
c. Mobility-The proposed project has been designed to meet all the circulation and mobility
requirements, which includes frontage improvements along Magnolia Avenue. The
circulation system has been designed in conformance with Land Development Engineering
Division and Fire Department design standards and complies with all other applicable city
design standards.
PC RESO NO. 7308 -3-
d. Noise -Pursuant to the Noise Guidelines Manual, the proposed project is in an area which
is "normally acceptable"; therefore, a noise analysis was not completed. With exception
to the home proposed on Lot 7, all the homes will be shielded from traffic-generated noise
along Magnolia Avenue.
e. Public Safety -In the event of an emergency, an existing fire hydrant on the west side of
Brady Circle, opposite Lots 5 and 6, will supply water to the site.
f. Sustainability-Based on the project type and size (seven single-family lots), the project is
consistent with the city's Climate Action Plan (CAP) in that the project is well below the
screening threshold of 900 MT CO2e that would typically be generated by 50 single-family
dwelling units and is therefore not subject to the CAP measures.
11. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated
by the proposed use, in that the proposed project will ultimately generate a total of 70 Average
Daily Trips (ADTs) for the future single-family homes. The proposed project would not result in
any significant capacity-related impacts to any road segments or intersections near the project
site.
City Council Policy No. 43, Allocation for Excess Dwelling Units
12. That pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85, a minimum of 15 percent of all proposed ownership units in
any residential project are required to be restricted to lower income households. The proposal to
subdivide two lots into seven single-family residential lots requires the construction of one
inclusionary housing unit. The project satisfies this requirement with the proposal to construct
one accessory dwelling unit onsite. The city's Housing Policy Team recommended approval of the
request on June 7, 2018. An Affordable Housing Agreement will be recorded prior to recordation
of the final map.
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 proposed lot sizes, ranging from
8,999 to 10,729 square feet, are compatible in size with the surrounding single-family residential
lots which range in area from 8,760 to 16,117 square feet.
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 project's proposed density, four
dwelling units per acre, is at the top of the density range and therefore, also above the R-4 GMCP
of 3.2 du/ac, which is utilized for the purposes of calculating the city's compliance with
Government Code Section 65863. At the GMCP, six (6) dwelling units would be permitted on this
1.74-acre (net developable) property. Although the project exceeds the GMCP for the R-4 General
Plan Land Use designation by one dwelling unit, Policy 2-P.8 of the Land Use and Community
Design Element allows the city to approve residential development at a density that exceeds the
GMCP for the applicable density range. The proposal to create seven single-family lots ranging in
size from 8,999 to 10,729 square feet in the R-1 zone is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and
General Plan.
15. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank in the city to
withdraw one unit. Per the city's Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report (June 2018), 413 excess dwelling
units remain available for allocation in the city (outside of the Village). In addition, the Northwest
Quadrant can accept 133 dwelling units before reaching the_ Growth Management . quadrant
capacity.
PC RESO NO. 7308 -4-
16. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from the Habitat
Management Plan, 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.
17. 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 preparation of environmental documents
pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development project. 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, including historical resources. Specifically, the
existing home and detached garage, which are estimated to be 77 years old and are proposed to be
demolished, are not identified on a local register of historical resources and do not meet the criteria
for listing on the California Register of Historiqil Resources.
18. 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.
b. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and will be
collected prior to issuance of building permit.
c. 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.
19. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax,
or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local
Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts
created by the project.
20. This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1.
21. That all necessary public facilities required by the Growth Management Ordinance will be
constructed or are guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the need for them created by
this project and in compliance with adopted city standards.
PC RESO NO. 7308 -5-
22. That the project is consistent with the city's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
23. 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.
