The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is on conformance with 3 the Elements of the City's General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated December 17, 2014 Including, but not limited to the following: 4 a. The proposed project is consistent with the goals for the Village, as outlined within the 5 General Plan, because it provides a multi-family residential condominium use in an appropriate location (Residential Support Land Use District No. 8) within the Village. This 6 in turn serves to enhance and maintain the area as a residential neighborhood and encourages greater residential support opportunities in the Village. It also increases the ^ number of and improves the condition and appearance of housing units within the Village. By providing more residential opportunities, the project helps to create a lively, interesting ^ social environment by encouraging and increasing the opportunity for 24-hour life in the Village, which provides the necessary customer base to attract complementary commercial and community uses. The project reinforces the pedestrian-orientation desired for the downtown area by providing the new residents an opportunity to walk to shopping, recreation, and mass transit functions. The projects proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit will help to further the goal of providing new economic development near transportation corridors. Furthermore, the project will provide a strong street presence 22 with extensive architectural relief, landscaping and visually subordinate parking. Overall, the new residential units will enhance the Village as a place for living. 13 b. The existing streets can accommodate the estimated 40 ADT's and all required public right- 14 of-way has been, or will be dedicated, and has been, or will be improved to serve the development. The pedestrian spaces and circulation have been designed in relationship to 15 the land use and available parking. Public facilities have been, or will be constructed to serve the proposed project. The project has been conditioned to develop and implement a 16 program of "best management practices" for the elimination and reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are transported within storm drainage facilities. 17 c. The proposed project will not have an adverse impact on any open space within the 18 surrounding area. The project is consistent with the Open Space requirements for new development within the Village Area (2,090 square feet) and the City's Landscape Manual 1^ in that it provides 3,293 square feet of landscaped open space. 20 d. The proposed project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, as the project has been conditioned to pay an 21 Affordable Housing In-Lieu fee of $4,515 per unit ($22,575 total) prior to the issuance of 22 building permits. 2. That the project is consistent with the Village Review Zone and the Village Master Plan and Design Manual In that a multi-family residential condominium project is a permitted use within Land 24 Use District 8 of the Village Review Zone. Furthermore, the project is consistent with the Village Master Plan and Design Manual in that the proposed project assists in satisfying the goals and 25 objectives set forth for the Village through the following actions: it establishes Carlsbad Village as a quality shopping, working and living environment by increasing the number and improving 26 the condition and appearance of housing units within the Village; and stimulates property improvements and new development in the Village by constructing new residential buildings in 27 a blighted area; and improves the physical appearance of the Village by developing an underutilized lot with an attractive residential building. 28 PC RESO NO. 7077 -2- 1 That the Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein and with the findings 2 noted below to grant the standards modification for a an interior side yard setback is consistent with the goals and objectives set forth within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual based 3 on the facts set forth in the staff report dated December 17, 2014 Including but not limited to the following: 4 5 7 11 12 13 14 15 26 27 28 Goal 1: Establish Carlsbad Village as a Quality Shopping, Working and Living Environment. The proposed project will result in the development of new condominium units where residents 6 will be located within close proximity of District 1, the retail and commercial core of the Village Area. The new residences will increase the number, quality and diversity of housing units within the Village, particularly those in proximity to transit, shopping and employment for those people seeking to reside in the downtown area. The attractive architectural design will serve ^ to enhance the site and the surrounding area. ^ Goal 2: Improve the Pedestrian and Vehicular Circulation in the Village Area. 1^ The project will provide a new sidewalk along Madison Street and Laguna Drive improving pedestrian circulation in the area. Additionally, the proposed project will be in close proximity to both bus and rail mass transit options and will thus encourage and promote the use of mass transit. Goal 3: Stimulate Property Improvements and New Development in the Village. The Master Plan and Design Manual was developed in an effort to stimulate new development and/or improvements to existing buildings in the Village. The intent is that new development or rehabilitation of existing facilities will then stimulate other property improvements and additional new development. One of the objectives of this goal is to increase the intensity of lg development within the Village. The proposed project will assist in the continued effort to improve the Village Area by developing an underutilized lot in the Residential Support Area 17 (Land Use District 8) of the Village providing an appropriate intensity of residential development that is desired. Staff sees the development of the underutilized property as a catalyst for future 18 redevelopment along both Laguna Drive and Madison Street. 19 Goal 4: Improve the Physical Appearance of the Village Area. 20 The project has a design that is visually appealing and sensitive to surrounding development within the area. The architecture of the new structure meets the requirements of the design 21 guidelines for the Village. The new structure is three stories, and is stepped back from the property lines, which reduces the impact the building has on the surrounding neighborhood. 22 Therefore, construction of the proposed project will reinforce the Village character with appropriate site planning and architectural design and materials that comply with City 23 standards and requirements. 24 4 That 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.

AGENDA OF: December 17, 2014 Application complete date: October 8, 2014 Project Planner: Austin Silva Project Engineer: Steve Bobbett SUBJECT: RP 14-10 - LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS - Request for a recommendation of approval of a Major Review Permit to allow for the demolition of a single-family residence and the construction of a five-unit residential condominium development project on property generally located at 735 Laguna Drive in Land Use District 8 ofthe Village Review zone and within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The City Planner has determined that this 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 Is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) of the State CEQA guidelines. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7077 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of Major Review Permit RP 14-10 to the City Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The subject .24 acre site is located at the southeast corner of Laguna Drive and Madison Street, and is currently addressed as 735 Laguna Drive. The project site is located outside ofthe coastal zone and within Land Use District 8 ofthe Village Review zone. The site is currently developed with a single-family home. A final map has been approved for this property for five airspace condominium units which was related to a previous approval of a Major Redevelopment Permit (RP 06-01) and Tentative Tract Map (CT 06-01). Table 1 below Includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses ofthe project site and surrounding properties. TABLE 1 - SURROUNDING LAND USES Location General Plan Designation Zoning Current Land Use Site V V-R Single-family residence North V V-R Multi-family residential South V V-R Single-family residence East V V-R Single-family residence West V V-R Single-family residence The applicant is proposing to construct a five-unit condominium project that is separated into three buildings, each with three stories. Building one fronts on Laguna Drive and contains three units, all utilizing Plan 1. The other two units are located in buildings that stand alone and utilize Plan 2 and Plan 3. A detailed breakdown of each plan Is summarized in Table 2 below. RP 14-10 - LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS December 17, 2014 Page 2 TABLE 2 - DETAILS FOR UNIT TYPE Plan# Quantity Size (sq. ft.)

Each unit has direct access to the sidewalk from their front entryway porch and contains a roof deck and covered lanal providing private recreational space. The buildings take on a Pacific Island architectural style by Incorporating various elements Into the design. Visual Interest Is created by using multiple building materials, which include stone veneer at the base, while stucco and board and batten siding are Integrated throughout the remainder of the building elevations. The use of building pop-outs and Insets, projecting "lanais," metal shutters, and varying roof planes creates architectural relief. The upper roof utilizes composition shingles while the lower roofs use corrugated metal. III. ANALYSIS The proposed project is subject to the following ordinances, standards, and policies: A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation; B. Village Review (VR) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.35), District 8 (Village Master Plan and Design Manual); C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); D. Growth Management Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.90) The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each ofthe above regulations and policies is discussed in the sections below. A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation The General Plan does not assign densities to properties within the Village area. Rather, the Village Master Plan establishes the minimum and maximum densities for residential development. Table 3 below Identifies the density range for properties located within Land Use District 8. Additionally, the allowable range for the number of dwelling units, based on the acreage ofthe project site, and a comparison to what is currently proposed is Included In the table. TABLE 3 - PROPOSED DENSITY Gross Acres Net Acres Allowable Density Range; Min/Max Dwelling Units per Village Master Plan Project Density; Proposed Dwelling Units .24 N/A 18-23 du/ac Minimum: 4 dwelling units Maximum: 5 dwelling units 20.83 du/ac 5 units RP 14-10 - LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS December 17, 2014 Page 3 As shown above, the project's density of 20.83 dwelling units per acre falls within the allowable range. A Growth Management Control Point has not been established for residential development within the Village. Therefore, all residential units approved In the Village must be withdrawn from the city's Excess Dwelling Unit Bank (EDUB). The EDUB is implemented through City Council Policy No. 43. In order to qualify for an allocation of excess units, the four findings identified In the policy must be made. The project's consistency with City Council Policy 43 is shown in Table 4 below. As the project requires approval from City Council, the City Council is the final decision-making authority for the allocation from the EDUB. TABLE 4 - CITY COUNCIL POLICY 43 COMPLIANCE Findings Compliance with Findings 1. That the project location and density are compatible with existing adjacent residential neighborhoods and/or nearby existing or planned uses. The project is surrounded by both single-family and multi-family residential uses. Additionally, the surrounding properties have densities that are similar to the density of the proposed project. 2. That the project location and density are in accordance with the applicable provisions of the General Plan and any other applicable planning document. As noted earlier, the General Plan does not assign densities to properties within the Village area. The Village Master Plan designates the minimum and maximum densities for properties located within Land Use District 8. The density range for Land Use District 8 is 18 -23 du/ac, and the proposed project has a density of 20.83 du/ac. 3. 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. (This finding applies only to properties outside the Village Review Zone.) This finding is not applicable because the proposed project Is located Inside the Village Review Zone. 4. That the project complies with the findings stated In the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual, Chapter 3, Development Standards, for projects that exceed the maximum densities set forth therein. (This finding applies only to properties inside the Village Review Zone.) The proposed project is located inside the Village Review Zone. However, the density ofthe project (20.83 du/ac) does not exceed the maximum density (23 du/ac) set forth for Land Use District 8. Therefore, this finding is not applicable. Table 5 below discusses how the proposed project is consistent with the goals for the Village Identified in the General Plan. 1^ RP 14-10 - LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS December 17, 2014 Page 4 TABLE 5 - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE Element Land Use (Village) Goals Goal A.l A city which preserves, enhances and maintains the Village as a place for living, working, shopping, recreation, civic and cultural functions while retaining the Village atmosphere and pedestrian scale. Goal A.2 A city which creates a distinct identity for the Village by encouraging activities that traditionally locate in a pedestrian-oriented downtown area. Including offices, restaurants, and specialty shops. Goal A.3 A city which encourages new economic development in the Village and near transportation corridors to retain and increase resident-serving uses. Goal A.4 A city that encourages a variety of complementary uses to generate pedestrian activity and create a lively, interesting and social environment and a profitable business setting. Compliance with Goals The proposed project is consistent with the goals for the Village, as outlined within the General Plan, because it provides a multi- family residential condominium use In an appropriate location (Residential Support Land Use District No. 8) within the Village. This in turn serves to enhance and maintain the area as a residential neighborhood and encourages greater residential support opportunities In the Village. It also increases the number of and improves the condition and appearance of housing units within the Village. By providing more residential opportunities, the project helps to create a lively. Interesting social environment by encouraging and increasing the opportunity for 24-hour life in the Village, which provides the necessary customer base to attract complementary commercial and community uses. The project reinforces the pedestrian-orientation desired for the downtown area by providing the new residents an opportunity to walk to shopping, recreation, and mass transit functions. The projects proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit will help to further the goal of providing new economic development near transportation corridors. Furthermore, the project will provide a strong street presence with extensive architectural relief, landscaping and visually subordinate parking. Overall, the new residential units will enhance the Village as a place for living. B. Village Review Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.35), Land Use District 8 (Village Master Plan and Design Manual) The subject property Is located within Land Use District 8, Residential Support Area, ofthe Village Master Plan. Residential uses are permitted in Land Use District 8. The specific development standards for new development within Land Use District 8 and the project's compliance with these standards is shown in Table 6 below: to RP 14-10 - LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS December 17, 2014 Page 5 TABLE 6 - COMPLIANCE WITH VILLAGE MASTER PLAN, LAND USE DISTRICT 8 STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED COMPLY Front Yard Setback (Madison Street) 5-15 feet 5 feet Yes* Street Side Yard Setback (Laguna Drive) 5-10 feet 5 feet Yes* Interior Side Yard Setback 10% of lot width (10 feet) 5 feet Rear Yard Setback 5-10 feet 5 feet Yes* Building Height 35 feet 39.5 feet Building Coverage 60 - 80% 41% Yes Open Space 20% (2,090sq.ft.) 55% Landscape Areas - 3,293 sq. ft.

Yes * In all cases where a range has been established as the appropriate setback standard within a given district, the top of the range shall be considered the desired standard. However, a reduction In the standards to the minimum, or anywhere within the range, may be allowed if the project warrants such reduction due to good project design. The majority ofthe building closest to Laguna Drive, Including the first and third floors ofthe building. Is set back nine feet from the street side property line, which is at the top ofthe range. The "Lanais" are set back five feet, In which they comprise approximately two-thirds of the building frontage on the second floor only. Furthermore, the long building frontage Is broken up by the architectural relief that is provided by the "Lanais." The front and rear yard setbacks are also proposed to be five feet. The front and rear building elevations provide articulation through the use of building recesses and pop-outs, multiple building materials, and varying roof lines. Staff is supporting a reduction to the street side, front and rear yard setback to five feet due to the above noted building features, which lends itself to a good project design. ** Development standard modifications may be permitted by the City Council for projects that assist the Council in meeting the goals and objectives set forth within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. The proposed project assists in meeting the following goals and supporting objectives: The proposed project will be able to address goals and supporting objectives as outlined within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual as follows: Goal 1: Establish Carlsbad Village as a Quality Shopping. Working and Living Environment. The proposed project will result In the development of new condominium units where residents will be located within close proximity of District 1, the retail and commercial core ofthe Village Area. The new residences will Increase the number, quality and diversity of housing units within the Village, particularly those in proximity to transit, shopping and employment for those people seeking to reside In the downtown area. The attractive architectural design will serve to enhance the site and the surrounding area. RP 14-10 - LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS December 17, 2014 Page 6 Goal 2: Improve the Pedestrian and Vehicular Circulation in the Village Area. The project will provide a new sidewalk along Madison Street and Laguna Drive Improving pedestrian circulation in the area. Additionally, the proposed project will be In close proximity to both bus and rail mass transit options and will thus encourage and promote the use of mass transit. Goal 3: Stimulate Property Improvements and New Development in the Village. The Master Plan and Design Manual was developed in an effort to stimulate new development and/or Improvements to existing buildings In the Village. The Intent Is that new development or rehabilitation of existing facilities will then stimulate other property improvements and additional new development. One of the objectives of this goal is to increase the intensity of development within the Village. The proposed project will assist in the continued effort to improve the Village Area by developing an underutilized lot In the Residential Support Area (Land Use District 8) of the Village providing an appropriate intensity of residential development that is desired. Staff sees the development of the vacant property as a catalyst for future redevelopment along both Laguna Drive and Madison Street. Goal 4: Improve the Phvsical Appearance ofthe Village Area. The project has a design that is visually appealing and sensitive to surrounding development within the area. The architecture of the new structure meets the requirements of the design guidelines for the Village. The new structure is three stories, and Is stepped back from the property lines, which reduces the Impact the building has on the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, construction ofthe proposed project will reinforce the Village character with appropriate site planning and architectural design and materials that comply with City standards and requirements. Additionally, portions ofthe second and third floor are setback at eight feet and ten feet for a portion of the length along the Interior side yard, and the use of windows are minimized to lessen the impact on the adjacent single-family residence to the south. *** The maximum allowed building height for Land Use District 8 Is 35 feet. However, pursuant to Chapter 21.46.020 of the C.M.C, chimneys and parapet walls may extend above the height limits since they do not provide additional floor space. The project includes chimneys and parapet walls above the permitted 35 foot tall building height. C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.85) For all residential development less than seven units, the Inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing In-lieu fee. The proposal to construct five condominium units has been conditioned to pay the applicable housing In-lieu fee for five units prior to issuance of a building permit. D. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90), Local Facilities Management Zone 1 The proposed project Is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 In the northwest quadrant of the city. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and Its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table 7 below. t3r' RP 14-10 - LAGUNA BREEZE CONDOMINIUMS December 17, 2014 Page 7 TABLE 7 - GROWTH MANAGEMENT COMPLIANCE STANDARD IMPACTS COMPLIANCE City Administration 17.38 sq. ft.
