The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in
the staff report dated January 21,2004, including, but not limited to the following:
A. Land Use - The project, consisting of the subdivision of a 5.38-acre site into
seven lots, is consistent with the City’s General Plan Planned Industrial (PI)
land use designation.
B. Circulation - The project is served by Loker Avenue West and has direct
access to public streets. The streets adjacent to the project site are adequate
to serve the traffic generated by this project.
C. Noise - Noise levels impacting the site will not exceed 60-65 CNEL. The
project will not, by the passive nature of the use, generate a significant
amount of noise.
The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone’ 5 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide bding 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,
A. The project has provided proof from the Carlsbad Unified School District that
the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities for the existing
buildings.
B. The Public Facility fee required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 prior to the
issuance of building permits has been collected for the existing buildings.
C. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 5 required by Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 2 1.90.050 was collected prior to issuance of building permits for
the existing buildings.
That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport, in that as conditioned, the applicant shall record a Notice
Concerning Aircraft Noise and Overflight. The project is compatible with the
projected noise levels of the CLUP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix
of the CLUP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that the
development is between the 60 and 65 CNEL contour which designates office and
industrial development as a compatible land use.

13. That the Planning Director 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(k) - Existing
Facilities, which involve the subdivision of existing commercial or industrial
buildings where no other physical changes are involved, of the state CEQA
Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the
exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this
project.
14. 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.

final map.

and modifications to the Tentative Tract Map documents, as necessary to make them

different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
3. The Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local
ordinances in effect at the time of building permit issuance.

challenged, this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section
66020. If any such condition is determined to be invalid this approval shall be invalid
