SUBJECT: CUP 10-12(A) -NEW JEWISH COMMUNITY COMPLEX BASEMENT -
Request for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to allow the addition of a full
4,412 square foot basement to a previously approved 3,023 square foot modular
01thodox Jewish synagogue structure and associated 483 square foot modular
restr·oom str11cture for the Chabad at La Costa on prope1iy located at 1980 La
Costa Avenue in the Local Commercial (CL) Zone, in Local Facilities
Management Zone 6.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6925
APPROVING CUP 10-12(A) based upon the fmdings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
This application is a request for a Conditional Use Pennit amendment to allow for the addition of
a fully improved basement below the approved floor of a new modular complex for the Chabad
at La Costa. The Chabad at La Costa, as approved, includes a sanctuary, library, study rooms,
offices, kitchen and bathrooms on prope1iy located at 1980 La Costa A venue in the Local
Shopping Center (C-L) Zone. The project's parking requirement, including the basement
addition, is proposed to be satisfied through the provision of the approved 12 on-site parking
spaces. Findings have been provided recommending approval of this Conditional Use Pennit
amendment.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The project site is located on the north side of La Costa A venue approximately 600 feet to the
east of the La Costa Avenue/El Camino Real intersection. The project site is east and adjacent to
the Albe1isons shopping center, open space to the south and east, and the Leucadia Wastewater
Distr·ict offices to the n01ih. On the south side of La Costa A venue are landscaped n01ih facing
slopes that are approximately 300 feet wide and 110 feet tall. Access to the site is from a single
driveway location on La Costa A venue. This access is shared with the La Costa Res01i and Spa
for access to their golf course and satellite maintenance yard.
The General Plan designation for the .37 acre site is Local Shopping Center (L) and the Zoning
designation is Local Shopping Center (C-L). With the approval of CUP 10-12 in Janumy 2011,
the applicant received approval to remove a 2,127 square foot modulm· synagogue structure from
the site and replace it with a new 3,023 squm·e foot modulm· synagogue stmcture, a 483 squm·e
CUP 10-12(A) – NEW JEWISH COMMUNITY COMPLEX BASEMENT

foot modular restroom structure, a covered patio located between the modular units, a raised outdoor deck, outdoor play area, and revise the existing parking lot to accommodate 12 parking
spaces. The approved synagogue structure includes a sanctuary, offices, library, study rooms,
and a, kitchen.
Synagogues are an allowed use in the C-L Zone subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The basement project is merely an addition to the synagogue and therefore not
considered a new or separate use but subject to an amendment of the originally approved CUP.
All findings required for approving an amendment to the CUP are the same as those required for
the originally approved CUP and the same findings that were made for the original approval can be made for this basement addition project. The Planning Division is recommending that the Conditional Use Permit Amendment (CUP 10-12A) be approved without an expiration date since
the original CUP does not have an expiration date.
The above ground modular structures will have permanent foundations which make up the exterior walls of the basement addition. The proposed basement is entirely below the floor elevation of the approved above ground structures. The interior of the basement will be finished
with drywall and paint typical to commercial structures. The basement space will be used mostly
for youth play area. Additional space will be dedicated to library, office and study space,
bathrooms, and a rest/lounge area. IV. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, standards, and policies:
A. Local Shopping Center (L) General Plan Land Use Designation; B. Local Shopping Center (C-L) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.31);
C. Parking Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.44);
D. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.42); and
E. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90). The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s
consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of
the above regulations is discussed in the sections below.
A. General Plan Compliance
The project complies with the General Plan. The site has a General Plan Land Use designation of
Local Shopping Center (L). Per the Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element, places of worship
are encouraged in that they create diversity in land uses within the city. No changes are being
proposed to either the General Plan or Zoning. The project complies with all elements of the General Plan as illustrated in Table 1.

Land Use USE: The site is designated for Local Shopping Center (L).
POLICY: Provide for a
sufficient diversity of land uses
so that schools, parks and recreational areas, churches
(synagogues) and
neighborhood shopping centers
are available in close
proximity to each resident of the city.
The General Plan encourages places of worship in any Land
Use designation where needed.
Places of worship are a
conditionally permitted use in any
zone for the convenience of the surrounding residents. The
addition of a basement to the
previously approved synagogue
will maintain diversity in land
uses within the city.
Yes
Circulation To provide an adequate
circulation infrastructure concurrent with or prior to the
actual demand for such
facilities.
To provide safe, adequate and
attractively landscaped parking facilities.
All public facilities, including
curb, gutter, sidewalk and roadway exists along the south
property line on La Costa
Avenue, a secondary arterial
street. The project is not adding
additional driveway cuts, intersections, or conflicting traffic
movements.
The project is approved with 12
spaces. It will also be fully landscaped. Please see Table 2
for parking compliance.

ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION,
GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM
PROPOSED USES &
IMPROVEMENTS COMPLY
Public Safety Enforce the Uniform Building Code and Fire Codes adopted
by the City to provide fire
protection standards for all
existing and proposed
structures.
Review new development
proposals to consider
emergency access, fire hydrant locations, fire flow requirements, and wildland fire
hazards.
The basement addition project requires the issuance of a building
permit prior to any building
construction activity (tenant
improvements), whereby the
building is reviewed against the Uniform Building Code and Fire
Codes to ensure that all
applicable fire protection
measures are appropriately
incorporated into the final building design.
The basement addition project has
been designed in consultation
with the City’s Fire Department and is consistent with all applicable regulations pertaining
to emergency access, fire flow,
fire hydrant locations, and
wildland fire hazards.
Yes
B. Local Shopping Center (C-L) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.31)
The New Jewish Community Complex property is zoned Local Shopping Center (C-L).
However, the approved facility and property is not a part of an existing local shopping center,
nor is the .37 acre property large enough to redevelop as a local shopping center. Section
21.31.080 (B) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code states that no site less than 4 acres in size shall be
included in the C-L Zone. Given this unique circumstance, some development standards typically applied to the development or redevelopment of a local shopping center are clearly not
applicable to the synagogue use and basement addition project (including the provision of
employee eating areas, creation of a sign program, and the provision of recycling areas). In
addition, the project site has a unique football shape that was created when the adjacent
Albertsons shopping center was developed and it includes a significant site visibility corridor easement which diminishes the onsite area that may be developed. The site visibility easement
covers a triangular section of the otherwise buildable portion of the site adjacent to La Costa
Avenue. The easement was established for the benefit of the adjacent Albertsons shopping
center. Therefore a variance was granted and the project was not required to comply with the
minimum setbacks required from the La Costa Avenue right-of-way and the rear property line. The basement addition project is fully beneath the above ground structure and therefore also
meets the required building setbacks. Regardless, the proposed basement addition will not
encroach into the site visibility corridor nor will it encroach any further into the front yard
setback than what was allowed for the previously approved above ground structure.

Parking See Chapter 21.44 (Parking) Complies (See Section C of Staff Report)
C. Parking Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.44)
The New Jewish Community Complex as approved will occupy new building space of 3,506
square feet and the proposed basement addition will add 4,412 square feet for a total of 7,918
square feet. However, parking is required only for the assembly area which is 1,120 square feet
and bench seating large enough for 56 persons. Pursuant to Chapter 21.44 of the CMC, the parking requirement for a church facility is 1 space per 5 fixed seats or 1 space per 100 square
feet of assembly area (whichever is greater). Implementation of either standard results in the
minimum parking requirement of 12 spaces. The addition of the basement space will not require
additional parking spaces. The provision of 12 parking stalls is consistent with the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC)
Parking Ordinance, Chapter 21.44 and satisfies the minimum parking requirement. In addition to
the provision of the minimum required number of parking stalls per the Parking Ordinance,
Chapter 21.44, the applicant has stated that they wish to enhance their parking capacity by
providing a valet parking service on occasion. According to the applicant, the use of a valet to park and move vehicles in a tandem configuration as needed could increase the onsite capacity to
24 spaces.
D. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.42)
The Jewish Community Complex including basement is a use which is allowed in the Local
Shopping Center Zone (C-L) subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The purpose
of the Conditional Use Permit is to allow special consideration for certain uses to be located in
zones other than those in which they are classified as permitted to assure compatibility within the
CUP 10-12(A) – NEW JEWISH COMMUNITY COMPLEX BASEMENT
November 7, 2012
Page 6
zone and its surroundings because of their particular characteristics. The privileges and conditions of a Conditional Use Permit are a covenant that runs with the land, and, in addition to
binding the permittee, bind each successor in interest. Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code requires that four findings be made in order to approve a Conditional Use Permit and
subsequent amendments. All of the required findings can be made as discussed below. 1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community,
and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including,
if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that
places of worship are encouraged by the General Plan Land Use Element and permitted by Conditional Use Permit in any zone in the city for the convenience of residents. The City’s General Plan recognizes the need for this type of use and the approved New Jewish Community Complex and proposed basement addition are
consistent with the General Plan regarding the availability of community facility uses (including synagogues) for residents of Carlsbad. 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted
in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the approved New Jewish
Community Complex and proposed basement addition is compatible with the
existing surrounding La Costa resort, water district offices and shopping center and the basement addition to the facility will not change any significant operational function that would disrupt the existing harmony with surrounding land uses. The site has been designed to accommodate all required parking and provides for
adequate traffic circulation.
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the
City Planner, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other
uses in the neighborhood, in that the New Jewish Community Complex has been approved with two modular buildings with a total of 3,506 square feet of building area and a basement addition of 4,412 square feet is proposed, onsite landscaping is provided as well as access from La Costa Avenue and parking.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the site has access from La Costa Avenue, a secondary arterial street, which is currently operating at an acceptable level of service. The New Jewish Community Complex basement addition will have no
significant increased impact on the existing roadway. The Chabad at La Costa
estimated existing ADT is 32 and the basement addition is estimated to increase the
ADT by 40. The current ADT for this section of La Costa Avenue is approximately 19,000 ADT and designed to accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 ADT.
E. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90)
The project site is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 6 in the southeast quadrant of the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the basement addition project and its
compliance with the adopted performance standards are summarized in Table 3 below.

That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community,
and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including,
if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that
places of worship are encouraged by the General Plan Land Use Element and
permitted by Conditional Use Permit in any zone in the city for the convenience of
residents. The City's General Plan recognizes the need for this type of use and the
proposed New Jewish Community Complex is consistent with the General Plan
regarding the availability of community facility uses (including synagogues) for
residents of Carlsbad.
That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted
in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed New Jewish
Community Complex is compatible with the existing surrounding La Costa resort,
water district offices and shopping center and the renovation of the facility will not
change any significant operational function that would disrupt the existing harmony
with surrounding land uses. The project has been designed to accommodate all
required parking on-site and provides for adequate traffic circulation.
That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the
Planning Director, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with
other uses in the neighborhood, in that the New Jewish Community Complex will
occupy two modular buildings with a total of 3,506 square feet of building area,
onsite landscaping, access from La Costa A venue and parking. The site, created
with the subdivision of the adjacent shopping center property, is uncommonly
shaped and has an additional site restriction to development in the form of a
triangular site visibility corridor along the La Costa Avenue frontage. Given these
unique circumstances, reduced front yard and rear yard setback requirements are
appropriate for the development of the site and are illustrated on the project
exhibits "A"-"N" dated June 1, 2011.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the project is provided access from La Costa
Avenue, a secondary arterial street, which is currently operating at an acceptable
level of service. The New Jewish Community Complex replaces an existing facility

and will therefore have no significant increased impact on the existing roadway.
The Chabad at La Costa is estimated to have an existing ADT of 19 and the new
facility is estimated to have an ADT of 32, a 13 ADT increase. The current ADT for
this section of La Costa Avenue is approximately 19,000 ADT.
That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the
environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15332 -"lnfill
Development Projects" of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the
Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state
CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
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.

Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require the Developer to make, all corrections
and modifications to the Conditional Use Permit documents, as necessary to make them
internally consistent and in conformity with the final action on the project. Development
shall occur substantially as shown on the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development,
different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local laws and
regulations in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
If any condition for construction of any .public improvements or facilities, or the payment
of any fees in-lieu thereof, imposed by this approval or imposed by law on this Project are
challenged, this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section
66020. If any such condition is determined to be invalid, this approval shall be invalid
