based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Planned Development Permit {PUD 2021-0001)
1. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan, and complies with all applicable
provisions of this chapter, and all other applicable provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, in
that the General Plan Land Use designation for the property is R-23 Residential, allows
residential development at a density range of 15-23 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a
Growth Management Control Point {GMCP) of 19 du/ac. The project site has a net developable
acreage of 0.14 acres. At the GMCP, three (3) dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.14-
net-developable-acre property {2.7 dwelling units rounded up to three dwelling units). As three
residential units are proposed, the project complies with the R-23 General Plan Land Use
designation for density. The project is consistent with all remaining development and design
standards applicable to the property as contained in Chapters 21.24 (Residential Density-
Multiple (RD-M) Zone, 21.45 {Planned Developments) and 21.82 (Beach Area Overlay Zone
(BAOZ) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
2. The proposed project will not be detrimental to existing uses, or to uses specifically permitted in
the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site,
surroundings, or traffic, in that the three-unit residential air-space condominium project is
compatible with existing surrounding single-family and multiple-family residential uses as
permitted by the Residential Density-Multiple (RD-M) Zone and does not create any traffic or
circulation impacts as Garfield Street and Chinquapin Avenue are adequately designed to
accommodate the 24 Average Daily Trips (ADTs) being generated.
3. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the three-
unit residential air-space condominium project has been designed to comply with all applicable
development standards to ensure compatibility with surrounding single-family and multiple-
family residential uses.
4. The project's design, including architecture, streets, and site layout a) contributes to the
community's overall aesthetic quality, b) includes the use of harmonious materials and colors,
and the appropriate use of landscaping, and c) achieves continuity among all elements of the
project, in that the architectural character of the project is a beach contemporary style featuring
rectangular massing, gable roofs, shed roof accents and a number of balconies with decorative
railings. Primary building materials include white smooth stucco, white and blue horizontal
siding (Hardie plank and aluminum), and dark gray painted wood fascia boards. Dark gray
composite asphalt shingles cover a 3:12-pitched roof on each building. A conceptual landscape
PC RESO NO. 7421 -2-
plan has been reviewed for the site and a final landscape plan is conditioned to be approved
prior to grading permit issuance. All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping) create
continuity in the overall project design.
Site Development Plan (SDP 2021-0002)
5. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings,
is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will not be detrimental
to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be
located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation, in that the
project consists of the demolition of an existing duplex and detached garage and the
construction of a three-unit residential air-space condominium project on a 0.14-acre in-fill site
located at 4008 Garfield Street. The site is surrounded by a mix of existing single-family and
multiple-family residential developments. The proposed three-unit residential project at a
density of 21 du/ac is consistent with the R-23 Residential (15-23 du/ac) General Plan Land Use
designation. The project is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General
Plan as discussed in the findings below and Section "A" ofthe project staff report. The proposed
three-unit residential project will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically
permitted in the area in which the use is located in that residential is a permitted use within the
Residential Density-Multiple (RD-M) Zone and is compatible with the other residential uses
surrounding the project site, including single-family and multi-family residential. The three-unit
residential air-space condominium project, comprising a detached single-family home and a
two-family dwelling unit will not adversely impact the site, surroundings, or traffic circulation
in that the existing surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the 24 ADTs
generated by the project. The project complies with all minimum development standards of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, including but not limited to the RD-M Zone, Beach Area Overlay Zone,
and the Planned Development Ordinance. Furthermore, the project is adequately parked on-
site and does not result in any significant environmental impacts.
6. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that
as demonstrated in the project staff report, the three-unit residential air-space condominium
project complies with all development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage,
private open space, number of parking spaces, and height restrictions) of the Residential
Density-Multiple (RD-M) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, and the Planned Development
Ordinance.
7. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the
requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and
maintained, in that as demonstrated in the project staff report, the three-unit residential air-
space condominium project complies with the development standards (i.e., front, side and rear
setbacks, lot coverage, private open space, number of parking spaces, and height restrictions)
of the Residential Density-Multiple (RD-M) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, and the Planned
Development Ordinance. A six-foot-tall wood fence is proposed along the east and south
property lines and a combination retaining wall/vinyl fence is proposed along the stepped pad,
in between the single-family unit and the two-family condominium units. All proposed fencing
complies with the Zoning Code. Landscaping of the property, including the areas along Garfield
Street and Chinquapin Avenue, will be provided consistent with the requirements of the city's
PC RESO NO. 7421 -3-
Landscape Manual. One street tree is proposed to be removed and will be replaced at a 4:1
ratio, which is acceptable to the Parks Department.
8. That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the three-unit residential air-space condominium project
will take access off Chinquapin Avenue, which is identified as a local street and designed to
adequately handle the 24 ADTs generated by the project. The proposed project will construct
frontage improvements, including curb, gutter, and sidewalk, along the Garfield Street
frontage, filling in the gap in pedestrian access between the property to the south on Garfield
Street to the southeast corner of Garfield Street and Chinquapin Avenue.
Coastal Development Permit (CDP 2021-0003)
9. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified
Local Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies, in that the site is designated R-23
Residential (15-23 du/ac) for single-family, two-family, and multi-family residential
development by the Mello II Segment of the LCP. The project consists of the demolition of an
existing duplex and detached garage and the construction of a three-unit residential air-space
condominium project at a density of 21 du/acre on a 0.14-acre site. The proposed three-story
units will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-
way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently
exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. In addition, the
proposed three-unit residential condominium project is not located in an area of known
geologic instability or flood hazards. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline,
no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site.
Furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation
activities.
10. 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 three-
unit residential air-space condominium project will not interfere with the public's right to
physical access to the ocean and, furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for
water-oriented recreation activities.
11. That the project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the three-unit residential air-space
condominium 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 undevelopable steep slopes or
native vegetation is located on the subject property and the previously graded site is not located
in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
12. The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X of the Land
Use Plan, certified September 1990 and 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).
PC RESO NO. 7421 -4-
13. The project is not 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).
Minor Subdivision {MS 2021-0001)
14. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable
specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act,
and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the three-unit residential air-space
condominium project created through the minor subdivision satisfies all the minimum
requirements of Title 20 and has been designed to comply with other applicable regulations
including the Residential Density-Multiple {RD-M) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, the
Planned Development Ordinance, Growth Management Ordinance, and the R-23 Residential
General Plan Land Use designation.
15. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties are designated R-23 Residential for residential development at a density of 15-23
dwelling units per acre. Surrounding properties are also designated R-23 Residential and are
developed with multiple-family residential projects of a similar density or underdeveloped lots
containing one single-family home.
16. 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 all required development standards and design criteria required by the Residential Density-
Multiple {RD-M) Zone, the Planned Development Ordinance, and the Beach Area Overlay Zone
are incorporated into the three-unit residential air-space condominium project.
17. 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 three-unit
residential air-space condominium project has been designed and conditioned so that there are
no conflicts with established easements. The applicant is required to dedicate right-of-way for
public street, public utility, and pedestrian access improvements.
18. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act
of 1965 (Williamson Act).
19. 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 structures are designed to include
balconies and operable windows oriented to maximize exposure of each unit to natural light
and ventilation from nearby coastal breezes.
20. That the Planning Commission 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.
PC RESO NO. 7421 -5-
21. That the 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 three-unit residential air-space condominium project site has been previously
developed and is surrounded by existing development.
22. 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 three-unit residential air-space
condominium 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.
