SUBJECT: CD 14-08 - GERICO VERIZON WIRELESS
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, CD 14-08,
which is a modification to the Gerico Verizon Wireless project, MCUP 10-14, located at 850 Tamarack
Avenue (APN: 204-292-23). The proposed modifications include the replacement of three (3) panel
antennas located within an existing flagpole designed to conceal a wireless communications facility as
well as the installation of lighting at the base of the flagpole. The diameter and height of the flagpole
will remain unchanged.
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following
findings must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves
upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property.
4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit.
5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development.
6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation.
8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which
would be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10) The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the City Planner has
determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination with the approved permit and
therefore, approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division Administrative Policy No. 35.
