Findings:
1. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein and with the findings
contained herein to grant participation .in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program, is in conformance
with the Elements of the City's General Plan, Village Review Zone, and the Village Master Plan
and Design Manual, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated December 16, 2015,
including, but not limited to the following:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
The proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives for the Village, as
outlined within the General Plan, because it provides housing within Land Use District
8 of the Village. Overall, the proposed single-family residence will maintain and
enhance the Village as a center for residents and visitors with commercial, residential,
dining, civic, cultural, and entertainment activities.
The project is consistent with the Village Review Zone and Village Master Plan and
Design Manual in that the proposed residence assists in satisfying the goals and
objectives set forth for Land Use District 8 through the following actions: 1) the
project stimulates property investments and new development in the Village by
developing an unimproved (vacant) lot with a permitted residential use; 2) it
establishes Carlsbad Village as a quality shopping, working and living environment by
providing new housing; 3) the residence is designed in a manner that compliments
nearby residential uses by incorporating many of the same architecturai elements
found in this part of the Village; and 4) improves the physical appearance of the
Village by developing an unimproved (vacant) lot with an attractive residential
building.
As discussed in the staff report, the project as designed is consistent with the
development standards for Land Use District 8, the Village Design Guidelines and
other applicable regulations set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual.
The existing streets can accommodate the estimated 10 ADTs and all required public
right-of-way has been or will be dedicated and has been or will be improved to serve
the development. Public facilities have been, or will be constructed to serve the
proposed project. Further, the project has been conditioned to develop and
implement a program of "best management practices" for the elimination and
reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are transported within storm
drainage facilities.
The proposed project will not have an adverse impact on any open space within the
surrounding area. As noted in the staff report, the project is consistent with the 20%
Open Space requirements for new development within the Village Area and the City's
Landscape Manual.
California Environmental Quality Act:
2. 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 the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15303{A) (New Construction) Class 3 of the state CEQA
Guidelines. 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. A Notice of
Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon final project approval.

The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 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 improv.ements 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.
b.
c.
The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School
District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
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.
The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 1 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction
tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established
by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any
cumulative impacts created by the project.
The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from the
Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and implementation
program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and provide for effective
protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while continuing to allow compatible
development in accordance with Carlsbad's Growth Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife
habitats and sensitive species is requiredby the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
City's General Plan which provides for the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and
environmental benefits from the preservation of open space within an increasingly urban
environment. Moreover, each new development will contribute to the need for additional
regional infrastructure that, in turn, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu
Mitigation Fee imposed on all new development within the City is essential to fund
implementation of the City's Habitat Management Plan.
This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the
Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1.
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.
Conditions:
Note: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to the issuance of a
grading permit or building permit, whichever occurs first.

Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 500 cubic yards (CY) of remedial grading. A minor
grading permit will be required for this project. "
The proposed project is located in the Village (V) Review zone and accordingly requires the approval of a
Major (Village) Review Permit by the City Council. There are no unresolved issues and staff's
recommendation of approval with conditions is supported by the following analysis.
Ill. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following ordinances, standards and policies:
A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation;
B. Village Review (V-R) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.35), Land Use District 8 (Carlsbad Village Center/Village
Master Plan and Design Manual);
C. lnclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and
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 of the above regulations
and policies is discussed in the sections below.
A. Village (V) General Plan land Use Designation
The General Plan Land Use designation for the subject site is Village (V). The Carlsbad General Plan
includes the following goals for the Village: 1) Maintain and enhance the Village as a center for residents
and visitors with commercial, residential, dining, civic, :cultural, and entertainment activities; and 2)
Develop a distinct identity for the Village by encouraging a variety of uses and activities, such as a mix of
residential, commercial, office, restaurants and specialty retail shops, which traditionally locate in a
pedestrian-oriented downtown area and attract visitors and residents from across the community by
creating a lively, interesting social environment.
The proposed project is consistent with the goals for the Village, as outlined within the General Plan,
because it provides the opportunity for a place of living in an appropriate location (Carlsbad Village Center
Land Use District 8) within the Village. District 8 contains predominantly residential uses with some
existing professional and medical offices. The area is intended to be a relatively dense urban residential
neighborhood with a Village scale and character.
B. Village Review Zone (CMC Chapter 21.35), District 8 (Village Master Plan and Design Manual)
The subject property is located within Land Use District 8-Residential Support Area, of the Village Master
Plan. In District 8 of the Village Review zone, single-family dwellings are an allowed use.
The proposed project meets or exceeds the development standards of the Village Review Zone and District
8. The specific development standards for new development within Land Use District 8 and the project's
compliance with these standards are shown in Table "B" below:
