(PUB2018-0010)
WHEREAS, the City of Carlsbad, "Developer/Owner," has filed a verified application with
the City of Ca.rlsbad regarding property described as:
Lot 133 of La Costa Valley Unit No. 1, in the County of San Diego, State
of California, according to Map thereof No. 5434, filed in the Office of
the County Recorder of San Diego County, July 29, 1964
("the Property"); and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Conditional Use Permit,
Special Use Permit, and Variance as shown on Exhibits "A" -"Z" dated February 19, 2020, on file in the
Planning Division, CUP 2018-0014/SUP 2018-0009/V 2018-0007 -FIRE STATION NO. 2, as provided by
Chapter 21.40, 21.42 and 21.50 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on February 19, 2020, hold a duly noticed public
hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to
the Conditional Use Permit, Special Use Permit and Variance.
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 Commission APPROVES
CUP 2018-0014, SUP 2018-0009 and V 2018-0007 -FIRE STATION NO. 2, based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Conditional Use Permit {CUP 2018-0014)
1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in
harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including, if applicable, the
certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the development of the fire
station in the location proposed is supported by the community and the City Council given the
passage of Proposition O and inclusion of the station in the city's capital improvement project
budget. The proposal also complies with Goal 2-G.21 of the Land Use and Community Design -
Growth Management Element to ensure that adequate public facilities and services are
provided in a timely manner to preserve the quality of life of residents.
2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the
zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the project's design fits well with and
complements its surroundings by incorporating elements of old California/Hispanic
architectural style, the proposed fire station maintains compliance with the design theme
established by the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards Area 5 and blends in with
the design of the adjacent Omni La Costa Resort and Spa. The new station would have old
California/Hispanic architectural style details including white plaster walls, traditional
terracotta tile walls, heavy wood timber trellises and wood siding accents, grid framed punched
windows and native drought tolerant landscape palette. Further, the requested use would
replace an existing 50 year-old fire station and incorporates design elements, such as perimeter
walls, which help it fit with nearby residences.
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, Planning
Commission or City Council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in
that CMC Section 21.42.140.A permits, through the CUP process and resulting findings and
conditions, exemptions to be made to development standards with respect to front and side
yard setbacks, off-street parking and building height. Due to the project site's irregular lot
shape, small size, limited depth and the need for a larger fire station, the station is proposed
within setbacks and is higher than the maximum permitted height. Furthermore, three parking
spaces are also proposed partially in the Arenal Road right of way. As parking is required to be
on-site, an exemption through CUP findings to permit off-site parking is proposed.
Excluding allowed protrusions such as parapets, skylights, and rooftop equ.ipment, the
proposed height of the flat-roofed building is 32 feet whereas the R-1 zoning only allows a 24-
foot height with a roof pitch of less than 3:12. A height above 24 feet is required to adequately
house staff and fire apparatus on the small site. The height of the fire apparatus dictates the
minimum width and height of the first-floor apparatus bays; this dictates a minimum first floor
height of approximately 15'-5". The height of the residential space on the second floor has been
designed to a code compliant minimum height. A flat roof design would be utilized to maximize
useable interior space and minimize overall building height. While 32 feet is the maximum
height to the top of the roof, protrusions proposed above the maximum roof height extend to
approximately 33 feet to the top of parapet and 37 feet to the top of rooftop mechanical
equipment.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that once the new fire station becomes operational, the
PC RESO NO. 7360 -2-
service area is expected to remain the same as in the existing condition and it can reasonably
be assumed that the frequency of emergency response requests would be like the existing
conditions. Similarly, the signalized intersection will continue to use emergency vehicle pre-
emption to allow access to and from the new fire station. Once operational, the roadway
network would experience similar operating conditions as it currently does.
Scenic Corridor Special Use Permit (SUP 2018-0009)
5. The project is consistent with the purposes of the chapter and all other applicable requirements
of this code, in that the project complies with all applicable provisions of the El Camino Real
Corridor Development Standards, except as discussed elsewhere in these findings. The old
California/Hispanic architectural style maintains compliance with the design theme established
by the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards for Area 5 and blends in with the design
of the adjacent Omni La Costa Resort and Spa.
6. The project is consistent with the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and applicable Master or
Specific Plans, in that the Project complies with General Plan Land Use and Community Design
Element goals, including Land Use Goal 2-G.3, which states: "Promote infill development that
makes efficient use of limited land supply, while ensuring compatibility and integration with
existing uses. Ensure that infill properties develop with uses and development intensities
supporting a cohesive development pattern" and Growth Management Goal 2-G.21: to ;'Ensure
that adequate public facilities and services are provided in a timely manner to preserve the
quality of life of residents." Furthermore, the Project is also within and consistent with the La
Costa Master Plan (MP-149). The Master Plan identifies the Project site as a fire station and
defers to the Zoning Ordinance for applicable standards.
7. The project will not adversely affect the scenic, historical or cultural qualities of the property, in
that there are no notable landmarks, mountains or other unique topographical features on the
property. Furthermore, the project is conditioned to implement the Cultural &Tribal Resources
mitigation measures, which require archaeological and Native American monitors on site where
known cultural resources have been identified in the area, during any ground disturbing
activities. This will reduce any historical or cultural impacts to less than significant.
El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards Deviations (SUP 2018-0009)
8. That compliance with a particular standard is not feasible for a particular project, in that
compliance with required setbacks along El Camino Real is not possible due to the irregular
shape, small size, and limited depth of the existing fire station lot. The lot is hampered by two
street frontages and irregular depth and width of lot. Further, a portion of the lot consists of an
approximately 20-foot wide by 200-foot long "stem" along El Camino Real that connects the
site to Estrella De Mar Road. Most of this stem is unusable and combined with the irregular lot
dimensions and setback requirements, reduces the site's usable area and ability to
accommodate a modern fire station, adequately house staff and fire apparatus, ancillary
equipment, on-site parking, and provide necessary circulation and security.
9. That the scenic qualities of the corridor will continue to be maintained if the standards are not
fulfilled in that the design of the new fire station blends elements of Old California/Hispanic
architectural themes within the El Camino Real corridor into a fully functioning, technology
enhanced, 'state of the art' fire station. Old California/Hispanic architecture is captured by using
simple white plaster walls contrasted against the traditional terracotta tile walls that form the
PC RESO NO. 7360 -3-
base and entries to the fire station. An entry tower would provide identity to the corner and
identify the prominence of this new civic building. Heavy wood timber trellises and wood siding
accents complement the other traditional materials. Grid framed punched windows and native
drought tolerant landscape plantings are prominently visible on the public corner of El Camino
Real and Arenal Road. The flat roofs and parapet walls allow for incorporating, while also
screening from view, new technology, such as the proposed photovoltaic panels.
Additionally, by proposing an old California/Hispanic architectural style, the fire station
maintains compliance with the design theme established by the El Camino Real Corridor
Development Standards for Area 5 and blends in with the design of the adjacent Omni La Costa
Resort and Spa. Further, the project's building height and minimal ~ut and fill grading meet the
development standards and landscaping along the project perimeter and soften the building
and perimeter wall that encroach into the setback. The project maintains existing grade
differences and the general locations and heights of existing walls.
For example, due to grade differences between El Camino Real and the fire station building, the
height of the "interior" side of the proposed wall would vary from five to nine feet as the
property grade gradually drops in elevation from north to south. Similar to the existing fire
station wall along El Camino Real, this interior side of the perimeter wall will not be in the public
view. Instead, a maximum six-foot high wall and gate would be visible from El Camino Real. The
wall would be made of block with a white stucco finish to match the adjacent Old California
style walls located at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa.
10. That the project will not have an adverse impact on traffic safety in that the new project
driveways onto El Camino Real are necessary to facilitate more efficient and safe ingress and
egress of emergency vehicles and personnel vehicles and to aid response times and that their
use would be periodic and brief. Furthermore, the City Engineer and the city's Traffic Division
have reviewed the additional driveways, as well as the bus stop and signal relocations proposed
to accommodate the emergency vehicle exit onto El Camino Real, and have concluded the
proposal is compliant with requirements. Therefore, no adverse impact on traffic safety is
anticipated.
11. That the project is designed so as to meet the intent of the scenic preservation overlay zone in
that since the project maintains the scenic quality objectives of the corridor standards, it also is
consistent with the intent of the Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone (Zoning Ordinance Chapter
21.40). The Overlay Zone supplements the underlying zoning by providing additional
regulations and guidelines (which the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards provide)
to guide development in designated areas, such as scenic corridors, and implement General
Plan goals and objectives.
Consistent with the General Plan, the project fulfills Land Use and Community Design Element
goals, including Land Use Goal 2-G.3 ("Promote infill development that makes efficient use of
limited land supply, while ensuring compatibility and integration with existing uses. Ensure that
infill properties develop with uses and development intensities supporting a cohesive
development pattern") and Growth Management Goal 2-G.21 ("Ensure that adequate public
facilities and services are provided in a timely manner to preserve the quality of life of
residents").
PC RESO NO. 7360 -4-
Variance (V 2018-0007)
12. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives such
property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning
classification, in that special circumstances of the subject property include its irregular shape,
small size, limited depth, two street frontages, and grade. To accommodate the space needed
for a modern fire station and to adequately and securely house staff and fire apparatus, the
building and related features, including walls, encroach into setbacks or exceed maximum
permitted heights. The strict application of the Zoning Ordinance, in particular its requirement
that wall heights not exceed three and a half feet in the front setback and six feet elsewhere,
combined with the property's special circumstances, deprive the property of privileges enjoyed
by other properties in the vicinity, namely that of reasonable security and screening provided
by a six-foot-high wall.
13. That the variance shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations
upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located and is
subject to any conditions necessary to assure compliance with this finding, in that proposed wall
heights exceeding those otherwise permitted do not represent a grant of special privilege.
Instead, they are reasonable response to the need to provide screening and security for station
equipment, medicines, sensitive information, and personnel vehicles considering property
constraints, such as lot configuration and grades, and property surroundings, including frontage
along El Camino Real and Arenal Road and adjacency with three single-family homes.
Further, the portions of proposed wall heights exceeding six feet would not be readily visible to
the public due to the presence of the fire station building and intervening walls, fencing and
landscaping.
14. That the variance. does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized
by the zone regulation governing the subject property, in that the proposal is a conditionally
permitted use within the One-Family Residential (R-1) Zone and walls are ancillary to the use.
A variance to allow wall heights above those permitted in the front setback and elsewhere does
not permit an unauthorized use or activity.
15. That the variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the general plan and any
applicable specific or master plans, in that the granting of a variance to allow walls exceeding
permitted height maximums is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the General
Plan for the R-4 residential land use designation to ensure neighborhood compatibility,
adequate public facilities and public safety. Furthermore, the use is consistent with the La Costa
Master Plan, which identifies the project site as a fire station and defers to the Zoning Ordinance
for applicable development standards.
General
16. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
17. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 6 and all city public facility policies and ordinances. The project
includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all
PC RESO NO. 7360 -5-
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.
18. 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.
