serious public health problems, in that the Residential Medium-High density {RMH) General Plan
Land Use designation allows for residential one-family, two-family, and multiple-family lots. The
parcels being created satisfy all minimum requirements of Titles 20 and 21 regarding lot sizes and
configuration and have been designed to comply with all other applicable regulations.
:Jc. Thatthe proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since other properties
located along Levante Street and within Specific Plan 208 are also designated for Residential
Medium-High (RMH) density development on the General Plan, and that the subject property is
boarded by existing single-family to the north and west and a combination of single-family and
multi-family to the south and east and is currently developed with one single-family home. The
three lot subdivision will provide for either single-family, two-family or multifamily dweiling units
per lot.
4. 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 proposed subdivision meets all development standards and design criteria required by the RD-
M-Q zone for the creation of three standard lots including but not limited to requirements for
access, minimum lot size, lot width and setbacks.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements of
record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the developer has delineated and
preserved on the parcel map, all existing easements of record.
6. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of
1965 (Williamson Act).
7. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating
or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the large lots provide ample area to take
advantage of prevailing breezes and allow for passive or natural solar heating and cooling
opportunities for future dwelling units.
8. That the City Planner has considered, in connection with the housing proposed by this subdivision,
the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs against the public service needs
of the city and available fiscal and environmental resources and the project has been conditioned to
pay housing in-lieu fees.
9. Thatthe design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, in that the proposed
development site does not contain any significant habitat and no significant wildlife or habitat will
be impacted by the project.

10. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing California
Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has been designed in
accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality protection in accordance with
the city's sewer and drainage standards and the project is conditioned to comply with the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements.
11. That the City Planner finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the city's
General Plan in that the subject property is designated RMH (8-15 dwelling unhs per acre (du/ac)
with a 11.5 du/ac Growth Management Control Point density). The property has a lot area of 1.19
acres and at the RMH Growth Management Control Point, 13.68 dwelling units are allowed. At this
time, no development is proposed and the proposed parcels meet the minimum lot size for the ·
underlying RD-M zone. Therefore, the project which consists of subdividing one lot into three
separate parcels is considered consistent with the City's General Plan.
12. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 6 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,
A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad School District that the
project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
B. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and will be collected
prior to issuance of building permit.
C. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No.17 and will be collected prior
to the issuance of building permit.
13. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
14. The City Planner 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.
