APPLICATION: THE BARNES CORPORATION. .__ WHEREAS, on February 24, 1982, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1918 recommending to the City Council that Tentative Subdivision Map (CT 81-9) and Planned Unit Development (PUD-30) be denied; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad did on March 16, 1982' hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the recommendations of the Planning Commission and to receive all recommendations and hear all persons interested in or opposed to said Tentative Subdivision Map and Condominium Permit; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California as follows: A. That the abov.e recitations are true and correct. B. That Tentative Subdivision Map (CT 81-9) and Planned Unit Development (PUD-30) are hereby denied, without prejudice to reapplication, because of the facts set out in the Planning Department Staff Report dated February 24, 1982, the evidence presented at the March 16, 1982 public hearing and Planning Commission Resolution No. 1918 on file in the City Clerk's office and incorporated by reference herein and based upon the following findings: Find ings : n » '* e 12 13 15 lg 19 20 21 22 23 24 26 27 28 1) The project is not consistent with the public facilities element of the general plan. The Public Facil i t ies E lement of the General Plan requires the proponents of the development to present evidence satisfactory to the city that all public facilities and services will be available concurrent with need. The City Council cannot find that public facilities, such as adequate streets, fire facilities and police protection will be available concurrent with need for this project because the project depends on the extension of these srvices by other property owners and developers. If developed in a timely manner other previously approved projects may provide such services and facilities as major arterials and fire stations. When these services and facilities are provided, development of this project will be more logical. However, because those facilities which will be provided by other property developers are not yet installed, and the city cannot predict when installation will occur, there is no evidence upon which the city can find the project consistent with the general plan's public facilities policies. 2) The proposed project does not meet the intent of Chapter 21.45 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Planned Unit Development) since it does not provide a site-sensitive plan and does not provide sufficient trade-offs to justify the reduced lot sizes and reduced right-of-way widths because the project's grading and design will totally alter the existing landscape and destroy or severely impact almost all of the existing natural habitats, as discussed i-n tne staff report. 3) The site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed, because of the hilly topography of the site. The proposed development, consisting of single family detached dwellings and duplexes requires extensive amounts of grad'ing, as discussed in the report. 4) The decision. of the subdivision will cause substantial environmental damage due to the massive alteration of the topography, loss of wildlife habitat and loss of prime agricultural land, as discussed in the staff report and the EIR. Since the project will result in significantly adverse evironmental effects which cannot be mitigated and because there is no evidence of other overriding factors the project must be denied. . ' .5) The proposed project is not consistent with the Open Space an^ Conservation Element of the General Plan because of the massive alteration of the existing topography and the destruction of almost all of the existing wildlife habitats on the s i t e . . 6) The pro.posed project is not consistent with Title 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code because: a) Is not consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan. <& „ _ D f Title 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires . t'hat the project be denied. 7 Q 9 12 15 17 18 20 22 •23 24 25 26 27 28 b) The site is no t phy s ical ly suitable for the type of deve lopment . c) The design of the subdivision is likely to cause substantial environmental damage. C. This action of denial is final the date this resolution is adopted by the City Council. The provision of Chapter 1.16 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, "Time Limits for Judicial Review" shall apply: '"NOTICE TO APPLICANT" "The time within which judicial review of this decision must be sought is governed.by Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1094.6, which has been made applicable in the City of Carlsbad by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.16.
