1. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable
specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act,
and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the proposed one lot tentative tract
map for a five-unit residential air-space condominium subdivision is consistent with the General
Plan as described below and satisfies all minimum requirements of the Village and Barrio
Master Plan, and Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code with respect to public
facilities, access and parking as discussed below and in the project staff report dated April 3,

properties are developed, are currently designated as Village-Barrio (VB) in the General Plan
and are located in the Village General (VG} District or Village Center (VC) District of the Village
and Barrio Master Plan. The subject property in the VG District is bordered to the north by a
parking lot used for an existing commercial development, to the south by an existing auto repair
business, to the west by a warehouse/photography studio, and to the east by a professional
office building. The adjacent properties to the north, south and east are also located within the
VG District of the Village and Barrio Master Plan (VBMP}. The property to the west is located
within the Village Center (VC) District of the VBMP which allows a wide variety of uses.
Residential uses are permitted by right in the VG District. Given the variety of uses allowed in
the surrounding VG and VC districts, the proposed five-unit residential air-space condominium
project is compatible with existing and fu ture land uses.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed, in
that the VG District within the VBMP allows residential development at a density range of 18 to
23 dwelling units per acre. Based on a net acreage of 0.22 acres, the proposed five-unit

PC RESO NO. 7326 -4-May 21, 2019 Item #7 Page 10 of 68
General
18. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the city's General Plan, and the development standards of the Village and Barrio
Master Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated April 3, 2019 including, but not
limited to the following: .
. a. Land Use -The proposed project, which includes the construction of five new residential
condominiums, would enhance the vitality of the Village by providing new residential land
uses near the downtown core area. The project reinforces the pedestrian orientation
desired for the downtown area by providing residents an opportunity to walk to shopping,
recreation, and mass transit functions. The project's proximity to existing bus routes and
mass transit would help to further the goal of providing new economic development near
transportation corridors. Overall, the residential project would contribute to the
revitalization of the Village area.
b. Mobility-The proposed project has been designed to meet circulation requirements, which
include maintaining or enhancing frontage improvements consisting of sidewalks and
landscaping. In addition, the applicant would be required to pay traffic impact fees prior to
the issuance of building permits that would go toward future road improvements. The
proposed project is located approximately one-third mile from the Carlsbad Village train
station which provides rail and bus service throughout the day. The project's proximity to
the transit station would provide residents with the opportunity to commute to major job
centers, thereby reducing vehicle miles traveled {VMTs) and their carbon footprint.
Furthermore, the project supports walkability and mobility by locating the project near
existing goods and services within the Village.
c. Noise -The proposed project is consistent with the Noise Element of the General Plan in
that the project's building design, with windows closed, adequately attenuates the noise
levels for the new condominiums as described in the noise analysis report (ABC Acoustics,
Inc., dated August 28, 2017). Since the windows are required to be closed to meet a 45 dB(a)
CNEL interior noise level, mechanical ventilation is conditioned to be required.
d. Housing -The inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the payment of
an in-lieu fee for projects that have less than seven units. Therefore, the project has been
conditioned to require the payment of the housing in-lieu fee for four (4) units prior to
issuance of a building permit, or payment for five units if building permits are not applied
for by February 28, 2021 (two years from demolition of the former single-family home).
e. Public Safety-The proposed structural improvements would be required to meet all seismic
design standards. In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the applicable fire
safety requirements. The project would be required 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 project has been
conditioned to pay all applicable public facilities fees for Zone 1 and meet with the fire
marshal to determine if public fire hydrants are required.
f. VG District Standards -The project as designed is consistent with the development
standards for the VG District, the VBMP Design Guidelines and all other applicable
regulations set forth in the VBMP as discussed in the project staff report. The project is not
PC RESO NO. 7326 -5-May 21, 2019 Item #7 Page 11 of 68
requesting any deviations to the development standards and all required parking is located
on-site.
19. 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 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,
