EXTENSION
The Planning Division has completed a review of your application for the first extension of SOP 16-20/CDP
16-31/HMP 16-04/MS 2018-0005 (DEV13018) -WEST OAKS submitted on February 13, 2024. SOP 16-
20/CDP 16-31/HMP 16-04/MS 2018-0005 was approved by the California Coastal Commission on
October 12, 2022 and is due to expire on October 12, 2024. Condition No. 11 of Planning Commission
Resolution No. 7397 required that Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Habitat
Management Plan, and Minor Subdivision expire two (2) years from the date the California Coastal
Commission approved the project or on October 12, 2022.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1)
the first extension of SOP 16-20/CDP 16-31/HMP 16-04/MS 2018-0005 (DEV13018) -WEST OAKS, was
submitted in a timely manner prior to the expiration date, (2) there has been no change of circumstances
in relation to the Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Habitat Management Plan and
Minor Subdivision regulations (i.e., Title 20 & 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code), (3) the project is still in
compliance with the Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Habitat Management Plan and
Minor Subdivision regulations, and (4) the findings required for granting an extension of the Site
Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Habitat Management Plan and Minor Subdivision can be
made; therefore, the City Planner APPROVES the first extension of SOP 16-20/CDP 16-31/HMP 16-04/MS
2018-0005 (DEV13018) -WEST OAKS, for two (2) years from October 12, 2024, to October 12, 2026,
based on the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. All of the findings contained in the City Council Resolution No. 2021-097, dated May 4, 2021 and
Planning Commission Resolution No. 7395, dated January 20, 2021 for SOP 16-20/CDP 16-31/HMP
16-04/MS 2018-0005 (DEV13018) -WEST OAKS apply to this extension and are incorporated herein
by reference and remain in effect.
2. That the two-year extension (from October 12, 2024, to October 12, 2026) is appropriate because
the owner/applicant is diligently pursuing finalizing all necessary permits, the project is still consistent
with the Site Development Plan, Coastal Development Permit, Habitat Management Plan and Minor
Subdivision regulations, and the extension would allow the owner/applicant to preserve existing
