Findings:

1. 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.

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:

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. The
25 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,
PC RESO NO. 7077
1..
a. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by City Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected
2 prior to the issuance of building permit.
3 b. All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as conditions of
approval.
4
That the project Is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
5 Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
6 6. 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
7 therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development
8 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.
9
The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions Imposed on the developer
l^ 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
ofthe exaction Is in rough proportionality. 11

Item No.
P.C. 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.

2 1 2,292 3/3.5 Two-car 517
3 1 2,064 3/3.5 Two-car 471
The site is accessed off Madison Street by a 24 foot wide driveway lined with permeable concrete pavers
that lead to attached two-car garages for each unit. 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.

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.

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

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.
