WHEREAS, Matt Campbell, "Developer/Owner," has filed a verified application with the City of

LOT 41 OF CARLSBAD TRACT NO. 94-07 POINSETTIA SHORES, AREA A-4,
IN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, ACCORDING TO MAP THEREOF NO. 13607, FILED IN THE
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAN DIEGO, JULY 31, 1998
("the Property"); and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit as
shown on Exhibit(s) "A" -"L" dated August 17, 2022, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning
Division, "CDP 2021-0021 -CAMPBELL 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 2021-0021 -CAMPBELL 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 addition and remodel of a single-family residence. The development is consistent
with the LCP WEST BATIQUITOS/SAMMIS PROPERTIES and R-8 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 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 development is proposed in areas of steep slopes (equal to or greater than
25% gradient) and none of the native vegetation located on the subject property will be
disturbed.
4. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 9 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-8 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 31, 1998. Therefore, the existing single-family residence is consistent
with the Elements of the city's General Plan.
6. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to
mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree
of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
