B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES
VIGILUCCI’S SEAFOOD & STEAKHOUSE REMODEL – CDP 16-30, based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and
all applicable policies in that the site is designated for non-residential uses and is already
developed with an existing restaurant, which is a use permitted within the Visitor Commercial
(VC) General Plan Land Use designation and the Commercial Tourist (C-T) Zone. The project
consists of an interior and exterior façade remodel to upgrade the restaurant’s kitchen, and
relocate it toward the rear of the building and relocate a small displaced dining area to the front
of the building. All work will occur within the existing footprint of the building. No additional
square footage is proposed, and no increase in seating is proposed that would require a
modification to the existing approved CUP 02-19(B)X1 that governs the operation of the
restaurant use. The new kitchen will result in exterior changes associated with a new roof and
equipment enclosure, but will not exceed 20 feet in height and is well under the maximum 35’
height limit allowed in the Commercial Tourist (C-T) Zone. The roof and equipment enclosure
will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way. The
exterior remodel will not damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural
activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or vertical coastal access
opportunities exist onsite. Furthermore, the restaurant is not in an area of known geologic
instability or flood hazards.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the project is located outside of the coastal shoreline development overlay
zone. Therefore, compliance with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act is not required.
3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the City's Master
Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional
Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil
erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the site is
not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or
liquefaction.
4. That 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 15301(a) – Existing Facilities, of the state CEQA Guidelines.
5. 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.

condition is determined to be invalid, this approval shall be invalid unless the City Council

harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers, employees, agents, and
