("the Property"); and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Site Development Plan as
shown on Exhibit(s) "A" -"FF" dated March 2, 2022, on file in the Planning Division, SOP 2020-0005 -
CHILDREN'S PARADISE as provided by Chapter 21.38 21.25, and 21.83 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Division studied the Site Development Plan application and performed
the necessary investigations to determine if the project qualified for an exemption from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA, Public Resources Code
section 21000 et. seq.), and its implementing regulations (the State CEQA Guidelines), Article 14 of the
California Code of Regulations section 15000 et. seq. After consideration of all evidence presented, and
studies and investigations made by the city planner and on its behalf, the city planner determined that
the project was exempt from further environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section
15332 -In-fill Development Projects. This exception is for the construction of an approximately 11,930-
square-foot building. The project is consistent with all applicable General Plan goals and policies as well
as applicable zoning regulations and is located on a project site that is less than five acres, surrounded by
urban uses. The site is a previously graded site that has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or
threatened species. Furthermore, the project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality or water quality and the site can be served by all required utilities and public services. In
particular, there are no traffic impacts as the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis prepared by LOS
Engineering, Inc, dated October 4, 2021 finds the project is a Local-Serving Public Facilities and is
presumed to have a less than significant transportation impact because the characteristic are very similar
to local-serving retail that serves the community and either produce very low VMT or divert existing trips
from established local facilities such as other daycare uses. The project is conditioned to submit a Tier 1
Traffic Demand Management Plan which will implement strategies to improve traffic such as providing
bicycle parking racks and distributing transportation options information to new hires. The project is also
conditioned to pay the fee for the installation of one traffic signal controller to meet the Transportation
System Management strategies to improve traffic signal coordination and improve transit service. The
project will not have a significant effect on the environment and all the requirements of CEQA have been
met; and
WHEREAS, on January 13, 2022, the city distributed a notice of intended decision to adopt the
"In-fill Development Projects" exemption. The notice was circulated for a 10-day period, which began on
January 13, 2022 and ended on January 24, 2022. The city did not receive any comment letters on the
CEQA findings and determination. The effective date and order of the city planner CEQA determination
was January 24, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on March 2, 2022, hold a duly noticed public
hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and
PC RESO NO. 7440 -2-
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 Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
APPROVES SDP 2020-0005 -CHILDREN'S PARADISE, based on the following findings and
subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Site Development Plan, SDP 2020-0005
1. 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 project is
consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan as discussed in the
findings below and in the project staff report dated March 2, 2022. The various goals and
objectives of the General Plan will be implemented as the proposed project is consistent with
the General Plan, which allows for child daycare uses within the Community Facilities (CF) Land
Use designation. The General Plan encourages the establishment of child daycare centers in
convenient locations throughout the community to accommodate the need for child daycare
services. The proposed daycare center is located adjacent to existing residential uses which will
provide for convenient access to daycare services. Furthermore, the project site is reserved as
a community facility site as part of the Quarry Creek Master Plan and was anticipated as a child
daycare center or similar community facility use. The Quarry Creek Master Plan was found to
comply with all applicable General Plan goals and policies, including land use; therefore, the
project is consistent with the General Plan.
2. 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 u.ses 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 Quarry Creek Master Plan designated the project site as a community facility which includes
a child daycare center in order to provide services to nearby residents. Therefore, the
development of the approximately 11,930-square-foot, single story daycare building is properly
related to the site and the surrounding neighborhood. The child daycare center will not be
detrimental to the existing development or uses in the area in that the building is in compliance
with all applicable zoning standards such as height and parking. In addition, the daycare center
is, conditioned to operate entirely within the enclosed building with the exception of the
outdoor play areas. The outdoor play areas are fully fenced and located approximately 185 feet
PC RESO NO. 7440 -3-
from the nearest residential use, which is buffered by the on-site parking lot, Marron Road, a
masonry block wall and landscaping. The building and play areas are located outside of the 60-
foot fuel medication zone and is designed to comply with Adjacency Standards of the Habitat
Management Plan to minimize impacts to the sensitive habitat within the adjacent hardline
preserve. Furthermore, the project is conditioned to implement Transportation Demand
Management strategies such as providing bicycle parking facilities and Transportation Systems
Management strategies which include paying a fee for the installation of one traffic signal
controller to minimize traffic circulation impacts.
3. That the site for the intended development or use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the use, in that the Quarry Creek Master Plan requires that a minimum two-acre site be reserved
for the development and operation of a community facility use such as the proposed child
daycare center, and designated the project site to accommodate the child daycare center. The
two-acre site is adequate in size to accommodate the approximately 11,930-square-foot, single
story daycare center in that the project meets all applicable development standards such as
height, parking, and setbacks from the required 60-foot fuel modification zone.
4. 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 project complies with all
development standards of the Quarry Creek Master Plan, applicable Carlsbad Municipal Code
standards such as height, parking, fence height, and landscaping. Furthermore, all standards
required by the Child Care Ordinance, Chapter 21.83 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code are
provided in that the project obtain all licensing required by the state to operate the daycare
center; adequate indoor and outdoor play areas are provided; the outdoor play areas are visible
from the interior of the building; the building design provides a direct source of natural light;
and adequate parking is provided for the use.
5. That the street systems serving the proposed development or use is adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project is conditioned to install a new
driveway approach and restripe the existing median on Marron Road at the new driveway to
include a westbound left turn pocket for vehicular access to the site and improve circulation.
The traffic generated for the proposed use was previously analyzed in the certified Quarry Creek
Master Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 11-02) and the location of the project
site was based on a community facility, which includes a child daycare facility being constructed
on the site. The surrounding street system serving the project is adequate to handle the 980
Average Daily Trips (ADT) generated by the project.
General
1. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the city's General Plan, and the development standards of the Quarry Creek
Master Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated March 2, 2022 including, but
not limited to the following:
a. Land Use -The proposed child daycare center will enhance the diversity of compatible land
uses within the existing neighborhood because the location of the daycare is conveniently
located near multi-family residences. The location of the daycare center allows for nearby
PC RESO NO. 7440 -4-
residents to have convenient access to community-oriented services. Furthermore, the
construction of the building promotes infill development that makes efficient use of the
limited land supply, while ensuring compatibility and integration with existing uses as the
daycare is consistent with the Community Facilities (CF) General Plan Land Use designation,
and provides for a service that is compatible with the surrounding multi-family residences
and open space areas.
b. Mobility-The project will improve connectivity for residents, visitors and businesses in that
the project is conditioned to make public improvements to improve connectivity including
the installation of a new driveway approach, restriping the existing median on Marron Road
to include a new westbound left-turn pocket, pay a fee for the installation of a traffic signal
controller, and repair any existing or caused damage to the decomposed granite walkway
path adjacent to the project site. In addition, the proposed on-site parking and bicycle
parking will support all modes of transportation. The project is also conditioned to pay
traffic impact fees which will require the applicant to pay their fair share toward
improvements for all travel modes, consistent with the Mobility Element of the General
Plan.
c. Open Space and Conservation -The project protects environmentally sensitive lands,
wildlife habitats and rare threatened or endangered plant and animal communities in that
the project is designed to comply with the Adjacency Standards of the Habitat Management
Plan such as fire management, landscaping restrictions, fencing and lighting. The project
provides a setback from the required 60-foot fire management zone, installs native and
nonnative plant species that will not displace native species, fencing surrounding the
project site is proposed which will protect sensitive species, and lighting is located in a
manner that will eliminate light spillover into the adjacent hard line preserve area.
d. Noise -The proposed project is consistent with the Noise Element of the General Plan in
that the building's design, with windows closed, complies with the requirements of the
project noise study (Eliar Associates, August 27, 2020) and adequately attenuates the
interior noise levels for the new daycare center to 45 dB(a) CNEL or less (i.e., interior
average noise level) and exterior noise levels to 65 dB(a) CNEL or less (i.e., exterior average
noise level for daycares). As designed, the project will meet all noise standards and is
consistent with the Noise Element ofthe General Plan and no noise mitigation measures
are required.
e. Public Safety-The proposed construction is required to meet all seismic design standards.
The Fire Department has reviewed and approved the proposed building design with fire
sprinklers included throughout the building per the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) 13 standards, and the project will maintain a 60-foot brush management zone.
Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the applicable fire safety requirements.
The project would be required to develop and implement a program of "best management
practices" for the elimination and reduction of pollutants which enter and/or are
transported within storm drainage facilities. The project has been conditioned to pay all
applicable public facilities fees for Zone 25.
f. Arts, Culture, History and Education -Policy 7-P.32 of the Arts, Culture, History and
Education Element of the General Plan encourages a range of childcare facilities, including
PC RESO NO. 7440 -5-
daycare uses. Therefore, the proposed 11,930-square-foot child daycare center will provide
a private daycare program to meet the needs of residents in the community.
g. Sustainability-The proposed project complies with the requirements set forth in the city's
Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP ordinances have requirements related to energy
efficiency, photovoltaic and electric vehicle charging systems. The project proposes new
electric vehicle charging systems and a photovoltaic system, consistent with the goals and
policies of the Sustainability Element of the General Plan.
