Since the minor subdivision is a discretionary action that is subject to CEQA, a historical analysis report will need to be submitted to determine if the structure is historically significant pursuant to the CEQA and to evaluate the impacts of the proposed minor subdivision. The report shall be consistent with the city's Tribal, Cultural, and Paleontological Resources Guidelines, which can be found online at: https:ljwww.carlsbadca.gov/home/showdocument?id=254 All necessary application forms, submittal requirements, and fee information are available at the Planning counter located in the Faraday Building at 1635 Faraday Avenue or online at https:ljwww.carlsbadca.gov/departments/community-development/planning.
