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 SDP 2018-0022 / HDP 2018-0006 -RESORT VIEW APARTMENTS based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Site Development Plan, SDP 2018-0022
l. That the proposed development or use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
master plan or specific plan, complies with all applicable provisions of Chapter 21.06 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, and all other applicable provisions of this code, in that the various goals
and objectives of the General Plan will be implemented as the proposed project is consistent
with the General Plan, which allows for a mixture of residential uses, including multiple-family
residential, within the R-23 Residential Land Use designation. Although the project's density of
30.3 dwelling units per acre is above the maximum R-23 Residential density of 23 du/ac as the
project includes a request for a residential density bonus, the 26-unit residential apartment
project can be found consistent with the General Plan Land Use Policies as discussed below and
in Section A and Table 5 of the project Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated February
5, 2020.
2. That the requested development or use is properly related to the site, surroundings and
environmental settings, will not be detrimental to existing development or .uses or to
development or uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed development or use
is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation, in that
multiple-family residential is a permitted use within the Residential Density -Multiple (RD-M)
Zone and is compatible with the other multiple-family residential uses surrounding the project
site. The residential apartment project will not adversely impact the site, surroundings, or
traffic circulation in that the existing surrounding streets have adequate capacity to
accommodate the 156 Average Daily Trips (ADT) generated by the project. With exception to
the allowance for increased building height and the rear stair encroachment requested through
the density bonus process, the project complies with all minimum development standards of
the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including but not limited to the RD-M Zone, and the project is
adequately parked on-site and does not result in any environmental impacts.
3. That the site for the intended development or use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the use, in that, with exception to the allowance for increased building height and the rear stair
encroachment requested through the density bonus process, the residential apartment project
complies with all remaining development standards of the Residential Density -Multiple (RD-
M) Zone and all other applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance.
4 . That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the
requested development or use to existing or permitted future development or use in the
neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that, with exception to the allowance for
increased building height and the rear stair encroachment, the project complies with all
remaining development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, parking) of
the Residential Density -Multiple (RD-M) Zone and all other applicable sections of the Zoning
PC RESO NO. 7358 -2-
Ordinance. Landscaping along the outer edges of the property, including the areas along Viejo
Castilla Way, will be provided consistent with the requirements of the city's Landscape Manual.
5. That the street systems serving the proposed development or use is adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project will take access off Viejo Castilla
Way with vehicles traveling to and from the project on Viejo Castilla Way as well. Viejo Castilla
Way is identified as a local street, designed to adequately handle the 156 Average Daily Trips
generated by the 26-unit residential apartment project.
Hillside Development Permit, HDP 2018-0006
6. Undevelopable areas of the project, pursuant to Section 21.53.230(b) of this code, have been
properly identified.
7. The project complies with the purpose and intent provisions of Section 21.95 of this chapter in
that: 1) the existing hillside conditions have been properly identified on a constraints map with
a slope analysis and slope profiles and have been incorporated into the project; 2) the proposed
project is consistent with the Land Use and Open Space/Conservation Elements of the General
Plan since the site has been previously graded, and there exist no natural hillsides or sensitive
resources on the site; 3) the project design minimizes the amount of grading to an acceptable
quantity of 5,653 cubic yards per acre, will incorporate an aesthetically pleasing design with
landscaping, and retaining walls will be developed primarily into the slope as opposed to on top
of the slope to minimize the visual impacts on the adjacent properties and public roadways; 4)
the existing hillside is manufactured and accordingly, there will be no impacts to natural
resource areas, wildlife habitats, or native vegetation areas that have not already been
analyzed, anticipated, and authorized by the City's Habitat Management Plan (HMP); and 5)
there will be no impact on lagoons or riparian ecosystems in that the project has been
conditioned to submit an erosion control plan consistent with the NPDES permit requirements
as required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the City of Carlsbad.
8. The project design substantially conforms to the hillside development guidelines manual in that
the design minimizes the amount of grading and retaining walls will be developed primarily into
the slope as opposed to on top of the slope to minimize the visual impacts on the adjacent
properties and public roadways. Furthermore, the graded site will be landscaped pursuant to
the City's Landscape Manual. The combined effect will soften the appearance of the graded
slope.
Residential Density Bonus, CMC Chapter 21.86
9. The project is consistent with the provisions of CMC Chapter 21.86 in that the proposed
residential apartment project meets all of the standards, including the requisite 20% of "low-
income", deed-restricted inclusionary housing. In addition, increased building height is an
allowable incentive/concession and the rear stair encroachment is an allowable waiver.
10. The requested incentive(s) or concession(s) will result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and
actual cost reductions in that the allocation of excess dwelling units allows for a financially
feasible project by sharing construction costs among all units including the land, permitting and
construction costs. The allowance for increased building height allows the project to provide
PC RESO NO . 7358 -3-
three levels of economically viable units since the ground floor level is mainly dedicated to
parking.
11. The requested incentive(s} or concession(s}, and/or waiver(s) or reduction(s) of development
standards is not contrary to state or federal law in that increased number of units and the
incentive/concession from a development standard (building height} and the waiver of a
development standard (rear stair encroachment) are clearly laid out as an incentive/concession
and waiver for density bonus projects in California pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.86.050 and
Government Code §65915(k) and (o).
City Council Policy No. 43, Allocation for Excess Dwelling Units
12. That the city's Housing Policy Team recommended approval of the request for an allocation of
ten (10} units from the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank on November 25, 2019.
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 includes a request for
a 35% density bonus pursuant to CMC Chapter21.86, Residential Density Bonus and Incentives
or Concessions. The project meets the applicable findings associated with the proposed density
bonus request. Adjacent land uses include three-story multi-family residential. The proposed
four-story and thee-story multi-family residential apartment buildings are compatible with the
surrounding land uses.
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 a residential apartment project
is consistent with the R-23 Residential General Plan Land Use designation and the proposed
35% density bonus is consistent with the provisions in CMC Chapter 21.86.
15. That the project complies with the findings stated in the General Plan Land Use Element for
projects that exceed the growth management control point for the applicable density range in
that the project qualifies for and will receive an allocation of excess dwelling units pursuant to
City Council Policy No. 43, the Southeast Quadrant dwelling unit limit will not be exceeded as a
result of the proposed project, and all necessary public facilities will be constructed or are
guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the need for them created by this
development.
16. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank iii the Southeast
Quadrant to remove ten {10} units. Per the city's Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report dated
November 30, 2019, 327 units remain available for allocation in the Southeast Quadrant.
California Environmental Quality Act:
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 -In-Fill Development Projects of the State CEQA
Guidelines as an infill development project. In making this determination, the City Planner has
PC RESO NO. 7358 -4-
General
found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines do not apply to
this project.
18. 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
February 5, 2020 including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use & Community Design -The 26-unit residential apartment project is consistent with
the elements and objectives of the General Plan as discussed in Section "A" of the project
staff report. The proposed 26-unit residential apartment project qualifies for an allocation
of excess dwelling units pursuant to City Council Policy No. 43 since the project includes the
inclusionary housing units required by CMC Chapters 21.85 and 21.86 and the project is
conditioned to execute affordable housing and density bonus housing agreements. There
are currently excess dwelling units available in the Southeast Quadrant as a result of
residential projects approved at densities below the GMCP. All necessary public facilities
required by the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan will be constructed, or are
guaranteed to be constructed, concurrently with the need for them created by this
development and in compliance with adopted city standards. The proposed 26-unit
residential apartment project includes four inclusioriary units which will be required to be
rented to low-income households. The multi-family residential land use is consistent with
the adjacent multi-family residential development. The project site is conveniently located
two blocks from La Costa Avenue which is a neighborhood connector street providing
vehicle and pedestrian access to commercial centers and bus stops within 1.2 miles of the
project site.
b. Mobility -The proposed project has been designed to meet applicable circulation
requirements, which include two driveway access points from Viejo Castilla Way. In
addition, the applicant will be required to pay traffic impact fees prior to issuance of a
building permit that will go towards future road improvements. The proposed project will
.maintain an existing sidewalk along Viejo Castilla Way which will provide pedestrian access
to and from the project.
c. Noise -The project consists of 26 residential apartments located in five buildings. A noise
study by Rincon Consultants, Inc, dated November 2018, was provided. The apartment
project does not have any required exterior private recreation areas and therefore is not
subject to the maximum 60 dB(a) CNEL noise level. Furthermore, existing ambient noise
levels are below the maximum 60 dB(a) CNEL noise level at 56.7 dB(a) CNEL. Given the
exterior noise levels and modern building construction that meets or exceeds the 2019
California Green Building Code requirements, the project will experience interior noise
levels below the required 45 dB(a) CNEL interior noise level.
d. Public Safety -The proposed structural improvements are required to be designed in
conformance with all seismic design standards. In addition, the proposed project is
consistent with all of the applicable fire safety requirements. Further, the project has been
conditioned to develop and implement a program of "best management practices" for the
PC RESO NO. 7358 -5-
elimination and reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are transported within
storm drainage facilities.
e. Housing-The proposed project includes four inclusionary units (20%) which will be required
to be rented to low-income households. The provision for inclusionary housing will
contribute toward achieving the city's Regional Housing Needs. The project has been
conditioned accordingly to require the approval of an Affordable Housing Agreement prior
to building permit issuance.
19. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 6 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 Encinitas Union 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.
c. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 6 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
20. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance {Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50}.
21. 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.

This project has been found to result in impacts to wildlife habitat or other lands, such as agricultural land,
non-native grassland, and disturbed lands, which provide some benefits to wildlife, as documented in the
city’s Habitat Management Plan and the environmental analysis for this project. Developer is aware that
the city has adopted an In-lieu Mitigation Fee consistent with Section E.6 of the Habitat Management Plan
and City Council Resolution No. 2000-223 to fund mitigation for impacts to certain categories of
vegetation and animal species. The Developer is further aware that the city has determined that all
projects will be required to pay the fee in order to be found consistent with the Habitat Management Plan
and the Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan. Developer or Developer’s successor(s)
in interest shall pay the fee prior to recordation of a final map, or issuance of a grading permit or building
permit, whichever occurs first. If the In-lieu Mitigation Fee for this project is not paid, this project will not
be consistent with the Habitat Management Plan and the General Plan and any and all approvals for this
project shall become null and void. Pursuant to the HMP, the project has been conditioned to pay a habitat in-lieu fee for impacts to 0.14 acres of Group D (disturbed scrub oak chaparral) habitat.
