The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, CD 2022-
0002, which is a modification to the Site Development Plan for Daybreak Community Church, application
No. SOP 00-06(C), to remove six (6) parking stalls for the addition of a 2,925-square-foot outdoor
playground adjacent to the east elevation of the multi-purpose building and a facade remodel of the
"Commons" area attached to the west and south elevations of the multi-purpose building. The address of
the site is 6515 Ambrosia Lane, APN Nos 215-841-10, -11.
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of
the findings below and APPROVES this request.
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings
must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function in that the existing church and
associated school/nursery are proposed to remain, and the addition of the playground is
accessory to the church and school uses onsite. The proposed fa~ade remodel to the multi-
purpose building on the Daybreak Community Church campus maintains the overall design,
quality and function of the project.
2} The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the proposed revisions to
the fa~ade of the "Commons" area attached to the multi-purpose building result in an
architectural design that will complement the materials and Spanish/Mediterranean
architectural style found throughout the Daybreak Community Church campus. Further, the
design is consistent with Planning Area 328 of the Aviara Master Plan, MP 177.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property.
4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit in that the proposed playground is accessory and complementary to the existing church
and school on the site.

5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development in that no
additional buildings or uses are proposed beyond the scope of what was approved for the Site
Development Plan, application No. SDP 00-06{C). The proposed playground is accessory to the
primary sanctuary and school uses onsite.
6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code in that a building addition is not proposed and the removal of six (6) parking
stalls for the construction of the playground represents a 1. 7 percent reduction in the existing
number of parking stalls. The remaining number of stalls, 362, exceeds the minimum parking
requirements for the mixture of uses onsite {338 parking spaces required).
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation in that the proposed improvements-do not create any inconsistencies or
new impacts relative to the environmental review determination associated with SDP 00-06{C).
8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10} The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved in that the proposed remodel to
the "Commons" area attached to the south and west elevations of the multi-purpose building
includes materials which complement the existing Spanish/Mediterranean design found on the
church campus. The proposed playground will be located adjacent to the east elevation of the
multi-purpose building and at the top of an existing landscaped slope. The playground will be
screened with a combination of fencing and walls which complement the design onsite.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
