NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows:
A) That the above recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of HOLLY SPRINGS - GPA 00-06, based on the
following findings:
Findinm:
1. The Planning Commission finds that the project is in conformance with the Elements of
the City’s General Plan and Specific Plan SP 191 based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated October 20, 2004 including, but not limited to the following: that the
proposed adjustments to the General Plan Land Use Designations of Residential
Low-Medium Density (RLM, 0-4 du/ac) and Open Space (OS) are necessary to
reflect the development proposal which consists of one-half acre minimum lots for
single-family residential development and the remaining lands are open space
preserve areas. The land use designations are compatible with the surrounding land
uses in that the adjacent lands are designated for RLM and OS land uses; that the
RLM land use designation implements the Sunny Creek Specific Plan SP-191
densities of 1-2 ddac and minimum lot size requirements of one-half acre; that the
land use change to OS is based on the environmental constraints of the property and
is environmentally and topographically appropriate for the site in that the slopes
and habitat areas included in the open space preserve areas are found to be “equal
to or better” than the “hardline areas” shown in the City’s draft Habitat
Management Plan and that these areas are proposed to be designated as Open
Space on the General Plan Land Use Map.
2. That the boundaries of the existing OS designated lands do not coincide with the
boundaries of the HMP hardline conservation area. Policy C.20 of the Open Space
Planning and Protection Section of the General Plan Open Space and Conservation
Element requires findings to adjust the boundaries of any open space shown on the
“Official Open Space and Conservation Map” dated September 1994. The
necessary findings are:
A. The proposed open space is equal to or greater than the area depicted on the
Official Open Space Map. The proposed adjustment in open space
boundaries will increase the acreage designated as OS in the Holly Springs
Remainder Parcel “D” from 10.6 acres to 19.3 acres and will assign a new OS
designation to 60.72 acres within the Holly Springs subdivision; and
B. The proposed open space area is of environmental quality equal to or greater
than that depicted on the Official Open Space Map. The open space
adjustment will eliminate the FUM land use designations on the open space
preserve areas and will preserve additional acres of open space within a
critical wildlife habitat corridor; and

C. The proposed adjustment to open space is within close proximity to the open
space presently shown on the Official Open Space Map. The proposed
amendment will add 60.72 acres of open space within the subdivision
boundaries and will increase the open space in Remainder Parcel “D” by
approximately 8.66 acres. The additional open space is contiguous with
existing open space.
