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. III. 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. Inclusionary 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: RP 15-10 – ROOSEVELT STREET RESIDENCE December 16, 2015 Page 3 TABLE B – VILLAGE REVIEW – DISTRICT 8 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SUMMARY STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED Front Yard Setback 5-15 feet 15 feet Side Yard Setback 10% of lot width (5 foot minimum) 5 feet Rear Yard Setback 5 – 10 feet 31 feet Max Building Height 35 feet w/5:12 roof pitch for 50% of the total roof structure 28.8 feet w/5:12 roof pitch for 50% of the total roof structure Lot Coverage 60 - 80% 37% Parking Two car garage Two car garage Open Space 20% 49% C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85) For any residential development of less than seven (7) units, the inclusionary housing requirements may be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. The proposal to construct one (1) single-family residential dwelling unit has been conditioned to pay the applicable housing in-lieu fee prior to the issuance of a building permit. D. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest quadrant of the city. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table C below.
