Dear Mr. Brencick, The City Planner has completed a review of the application for a tentative parcel map located at 1811 Oak Avenue. The City Planner has made a decision pursuant to Section 20.24.120 of the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code to approve this tentative parcel map based on the findings and subject to the conditions listed below. Findings: 1. That the City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act {CEQA) per Section 15315 (Minor Land Division) of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment in that the property is in an urbanized area; zoned for residential; is being subdivided irito four or fewer parcels; no variances are needed for the subdivision; all services for the lots are available; the parcel was not part of a larger subdivision within the last two years; and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. 2. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the RLM General Plan Land Use designation allows for residential one-family lots. The lots being created satisfy all minimum requirements of Titles 20 and 21 regarding lot sizes and configuration and have been designed to comply with all other applicable regulations. 3. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding properties are designated for Residential Low-Medium {RLM) density development on the General Plan, in that the subject property is surrounded by existing single-family homes and is currently developed with one single-family home. The creation of four total lots would Planning Division 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 T 760-602-4600 F 760-602-8559 MS 13-06-1811 OAK AVENUE January 23, 2014 Page 2 provide for four single-family homes which would result in a project density of 4.12 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) which is above the density range allowed by the RLM designation (0-4 du/ac) and the Growth Management Control Point (3.2 du/ac). However, as discussed below, the Carlsbad General Plan allows up to 5 units per acre in certain cases. 4. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed, in that the proposed subdivision meets all development standards and design criteria required by the R-1 zone for the creation of four standard lots including but not limited to requirements for access, minimum lot size, lot width and setbacks. 5. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the developer has delineated and preserved on the parcel map, all existing easements of record. 6. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act). 7. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the lots are at least 2,000 square feet larger than the minimum lot size required by the R-1 zone, and future structures have flexibility in design to take advantage of shade or prevailing breezes. 8. That the City Planner has considered, in connection with the housing proposed by this subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs against the public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental resources and the project has been conditioned to pay housing in-lieu fees. 9. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, in that the proposed development does not contain any significant habitat and no significant wildlife or habitat will be impacted by the project. 10. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing California Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has been designed in accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality protection in accordance with the City's sewer and drainage standards and the project is conditioned to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. 11. That the City Planner finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the City's General Plan in that the subject property is designated RLM (0-4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a 3.2 du/ac Growth Management Control Point density). The property has a net area of 42,319.50 square feet (.97 acre) and at the RLM Growth Management Control Point (3.2 du/ac), 3.1 dwelling units are allowed. The project's proposed density of 4.12 du/ac is above the density range allowed by the RLM designation and the Growth Management /' ' MS 13-06-1811 OAK AVENUE January 23, 2014 Page 3 Control Point used for the purposes of calculating the City's compliance with Government Code Section 6S863. However, the Land Use Element of the Carlsbad General Plan recognizes that there are exceptional cases where the base zone (R-1) is consistent with the Land Use designation (RLM) but would permit a slightly higher yield (maximum of S du/ac) then that recommended in the low-medium density residential classification provided three findings are made. All of the three findings can be made as follows: the project is compatible with the General Plan; the project either incorporates the necessary infrastructure or is conditioned to provide it; and, the proposed project density is 4.12 du/acre, which is less than the General Plan Land Use policy which allows a 25% increase up to 5 du/acre. Furthermore, City Council Policy No. 43 "Excess Dwelling Unit Bank" includes the same exceptional case provision to allow for the withdrawal of 0.9 of a dwelling unit from the bank. 12. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public facility 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 School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities. b. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit. c. 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. 13. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50). 14. The City Planner 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. CONDITIONS: Note: Unless specifically stated in the condition, all of the following conditions, upon the approval of this tentative parcel map, must be met prior to approval of a final parcel map, building permit, or grading permit, whichever is first.

MS 13-06-1811 OAK AVENUE January 23, 2014 Page 6 16. If satisfaction of the school facility requirement involves a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District or other financing mechanism which is inconsistent with City Council Policy No. 38, by allowing a pass-through of the taxes or fees to individual home buyers, then in. addition to any other disclosure required by law or Council policy, the Developer shall disclose to future owners in the project, to the maximum extent possible, the existence of the tax or fee, and that the school district is the taxing agency responsible for the financing mechanism.
