NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad,
as follows:
A) That the above recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES
CDP 2019-0027 -FLOWER FIELDS RESTROOM, based on the following findings and
subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and
all applicable policies in that the proposed 640-square-foot restroom is consistent with the
relevant policies of the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program, the Coastal Program
implementing ordinance (Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan), and the Coastal Resource Protection
Overlay Zone. The project location is topographically level; therefore, no grading is required. In
addition, the project is consistent with the surrounding development, which consists of
agriculture and tourism/commercial support uses.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the site does not have frontage along the coastline and no public
opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore, the
site is not suited for water-oriented recreation 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 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.
