B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
APPROVES CDP 2020-0024/SDP 2020-0002 (DEV2020-0130) -TOYOTA CARLSBAD
based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Coastal Development Permit CDP 2020-0024
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified
Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the proposed automobile dealership is
consistent with the LCP Land Use Plan, which designates the site Regional Commercial (R) and
allows for regional commercial-related uses. Furthermore, no agricultural activities, sensitive
resources, geological instability, flood hazard, or coastal access opportunities exist onsite, and
the development does not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public
right-of-way or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone.
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 shoreline. Therefore, the project
will not interfere with the public's right to physical access to the ocean and the site is not suited
for 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. The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X of the Land
Use Plan . Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fees are not required in accordance with the
provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning Ordinance).
5. The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and
therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance).
Site Development Plan SDP 2020-0002
6. That the proposed development or use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
master plan or specific plan, complies with all applicable provisions of Chapter 21.06 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, and all other applicable provisions of this code, in that the various goals
and objectives of the General Plan will be implemented since the proposed project falls within
an approved Specific Plan (Car Country Carlsbad Specific Plan), which was found to be consistent
with the General Plan. The proposed use, motor vehicle dealerships for retail sales and service,
is a permitted use within the Car Country Carlsbad Specific Plan (SP 19(J)). The proposed
dealership will also comply with all applicable development standards.
PC RESO NO. 7420 -2-
7. That the requested development or use is properly related to the site, surroundings and
environmental settings, will not be detrimental to existing development or uses or to
development or uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed development or use
is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation, in that
the proposed automobile dealership is a permitted use within the Car Country Carlsbad Specific
Plan {SP 19{J)) and is consistent with the existing automobile-dealership uses to the north,
south, east, and west of the project site and, therefore, will not be detrimental to the adjacent
properties. The project site will not be adversely impacted as it is currently developed with an
automobile dealership. All required roadway improvements were constructed in conjunction
with the existing development on site. The project will generate a net gain of 22 average daily
trips (ADTs). The additional traffic will not significantly impact the nearby intersections and
freeway on/off ramps.
8. That the site for the intended development or use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the use, in that the proposed automobile dealership complies with the required development
and design standards of Car Country Carlsbad Specific Plan {SP 19{J)). The project is consistent
with the required setbacks and has a proposed lot coverage of 22.5 percent, which is below the
allowable lot coverage of 25 percent. The height of the proposed development complies with
the height limitations of the Car Country Specific Plan in that the highest point of the building
(entry portal) measures 35 feet, and the maximum allowed building height is 35 feet.
9. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the
requested development or use to existing or permitted future development or use in the
neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that the site functions as a component of the
Specific Plan's allowed automobile sales, service, and auto-related uses. The project has been
designed in accordance with all development and design standards of the Car Country Carlsbad
Specific Plan {SP 19{J)) and, therefore, the project is compatible with existing permitted and
future uses. Specifically, the proposed dealership will be setback from the property line along
Paseo del Norte a distance of 216 feet. In addition, adequate circulation, access aisles and
parking spaces will be provided as well as landscaping.
10. That the street systems serving the proposed development or use is adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that access to the site is provided via two new
driveways replacing three existing driveways along Paseo del Norte.
11. The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the Secretary
for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment; therefore, the
project is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of an environmental
document pursuant to Section 15332 -In-Fill Development Projects -of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
12. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 3 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,
PC RESO NO. 7420 -3-
a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School
District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
b. 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.
c. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 3 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
13. The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-
Palomar Airport (ALUCP), dated March 4, 2010, in that at 107 feet AMSL, the proposed building
is well below the Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 obstruction surface of 443 feet AMSL at
the project site, and thus notification is not required and the project is outside of the Airport
Overflight Notification Area and recordation of an overflight notification is not required. The
project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the ALUCP; and, based on the noise/land
use compatibility matrix of the ALUCP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport in
that the proposed automobile dealership is located outside of the 60 dB CNEL noise contour and
thus is not impacted by airport noise and the project site is located outside Safety Zones 1-6,
thus, the proposed land use is considered compatible within the Airport Influence Area.
14. That the project is consistent with the city's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance {Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
15. 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.
