CASE NAME: APPLEBY RESIDENCE CASE NO: CDP 2021-0029 EXHIBIT 1 WHEREAS, James Chin, "Developer," has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property owned by Robert & Lillian Appleby "Owners," described as PARCEL 3, IN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ACCORDING TO THE MAP THEREOF NO. 12803 OF PARCEL MAPS, FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY, JULY 13, 1983 {"the Property"); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit as shown on Exhibit{s) "A" -"E" dated August 3, 2022, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning Division, "CDP 2021-0029 -APPLEBY RESIDENCE," as provided in Chapter 21.201.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on August 17, 2022 hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; 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 Coastal Development Permit. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows: A) That the above recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES "CDP 2021-0029 -APPLEBY RESIDENCE," based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for residential development, and the project proposes the construction of a new 2,328-square-foot single family residence with an attached 704-square-foot three car garage. The development is consistent with the LCP Mello II R-4 land use designation. No agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist onsite. Given that the project is located in a residential neighborhood where the majority of dwellings are one-and two-stories, the addition resulting in a two-story single-family residence will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way, nor 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 coastal shore; therefore, it will not interfere with the public's right to physical access or 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 consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all city public 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, 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. 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the_ Elements of the city's General Plan, in that the General Plan Land Use designation for the property is R-4 Residential, and under Land Use Element Policy 2-P.7 one single-family dwelling is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that existed as of October 28, 2004. The subject lot was legally created on July 14, 1983. Therefore, the single-family residence is consistent with the Elements of the city's General Plan. PC RESO NO. 7461 -2- 6.
