The proposed modifications include: • Six cantilevered photovoltaic shade system structures will be constructed within the parking lot located to the east of the swim complex. • The shade structures will be approximately 206' x 39' with a minimum 8' clearance height. • The center support columns will be placed within the center of the planting areas so as not to interfere with vehicle parking spaces. • The plans indicate that a minimum clear path of 34' will be provided in the area of the drive aisle between the shade structures. This distance complies with the Fire Department requirements to maintain a minimum of 20' of clearance between structures with a clear vertical distance of no less than 13'-6". • The plant species under the shade structure will be revised to the satisfaction of the Parks and Recreation Department. 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. 2} The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. 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. 5} The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development. 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. 7} The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require additional mitigation. 8} The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts. Planning Division 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 T 760-602-4600 F 760-602-8559 l CD 13-08-ALGA NORTE COMMUNITY PARK (SOLAR PV PANELS) '\(ogU); 9; 1DB .. . Pagel · 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. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination with the approved permit and therefore, approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division Administrative Policy No. 35. Please submit two (2) blueline copies {24" X 36") of all applicable exhibits for the project file and a reproducible 24" X 36" mylar copy of the amended site plan. The mylar must be submitted, stamped "Consistency Determination," and signed by the City Planner prior to issuance of any building permits for the project. The Consistency Determination Title Block stamp, and other Title Block stamps, can be downloaded from the City's website at http://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/departments/planning/Pages/applications.aspx. The Title Block (stamp) is located under "Resources" on the right side of the page.
