PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING:
1. CUP 2020-0006/CDP 2020-0031 – FUTURES ACADEMY AT CARLSBAD – Request for a Conditional
Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit to operate an approximately 2,850-square-foot
private school which involves one-to-one or small group instruction for students between sixth and
12th grade. The school proposes to have a maximum of 35 students and 14 staff members onsite at
a time. The private school is located at 705 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 340, an existing office suite
within a three-story office building, generally located south of Palomar Airport Road and east of
Avenida Encinas. The project is in the Industrial (M) zone and Local Facilities Management Zone 3.
The project site is not located within the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The
City Planner has determined that the project site belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary of Resources has found do not have significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities – of the state
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code Section
19.04.070(A)(1)(b).

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

decision denying a request to amend a condition of approval of Tentative Parcel Map MS 14-05, a
four-lot subdivision project located at 4276 Adams Street. Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines, the City Planner has determined that the project is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The request to amend a project condition to defer construction
of the driveway improvements will not have a significant effect on the environment. A Coastal

within the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission.

6. GPA 2019-0003 (PUB 2019-0009) – OVERVIEW OF DRAFT 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT – An
informational presentation overviewing the draft General Plan Housing Element, recently released
for state and public review. The draft document would provide Carlsbad’s housing strategy for the
upcoming 2021-2029 housing cycle. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, receiving this
report does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause
either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical
change in the environment, and therefore, does not require environmental review.
