The Common Area is for the Use of Owners of Lots Which are Subject to

("the Property"); and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit as
shown on Exhibit(s) "A" -"J" dated April 15, 2020, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning
Division, CDP 2019-0032 -LOVE RESIDENCE, as provided in Chapter 21.201.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code;and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on April 15, 2020, hold a duly noticed public hearing as
prescribed by law to consider said request;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if
any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Coastal
Development Permit.
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 APPROVES
CDP 2019-0032 -LOVE RESIDENCE, 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 residential development and the project
proposes single-family residential development; the development is consistent with the LCP
Mello II Land Use designation of R-4 Residential; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources,
geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist on-site; and given the
project's distance from the coastline, the one-story-over-garage single-family residence will not
obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way nor otherwise
damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone as discussed in the project staff report.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the coastal shore; therefore, it will
not interfere with the public's right to physical access or water-oriented recreational activities.
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 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 even though the project's proposed density of 5.76 du/ac exceeds the R-4 density range of
0 to 4 du/ac, one single-family dwelling unit is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that
existed as of October 28, 2004 per policy 2-P.7 of the General Plan. The subject lot was legally
created prior to October 28, 2004 (Map No. 10925 recorded on May 1, 1984); therefore, the
development of the subject lot with one single-family home is consistent with the R-4 General
Plan Land Use designation.
5. 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 15303(a) -construction of a single-family residence -of the
State CEQA Guidelines.
6. 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
PC RESO NO. 7367 -2-
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.
