NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Design Review
Board of the City of Carlsbad, as follows:

Findings:

That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
At the end of the State mandated six week review period, starting on June 21,
1995, and ending on August 2, 1995, staff shall present to the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission a summary of the comments received.
That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Design
Review Board recommends APPROVAL of LCPA 95-07 as shown on Exhibit
“X’, dated August 16,1995, attached hereto and made a part hereof based on
the following findings:
That the proposed Local Coastal Plan Amendment to exempt Carlsbad By The Sea
Lutheran Home from the ground floor visitor commercial requirement in Sub-area
5 of the Village is consistent with all applicable policies of the Village Redevelopment
segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program, in that the retention of the
professional care use at its current location will not have a significant impact on the
amount of available visitor serving uses in the Village coastal zone since it represents
only 2.56 acres (5%) of the total Sub-area 5 acreage. Adequate visitor serving uses
are available and will be available to satisfy future demand since two-thirds of this
sub-area is either currently developed with or resewed for future visitor serving
commercial uses and parks, with the remaining one-third of the land area occupied
by institutional uses including Carlsbad By The Sea Lutheran Home.
That the proposed amendment to the Village Redevelopment segment of the
Carlsbad Local Coastal Program is required to exempt the Carlsbad By The Sea
Lutheran Home from the ground floor visitor commercial requirement thereby
allowing a necessary and desirable use that is compatible with surrounding uses and
integrated into the surrounding neighborhood to redevelop its facility and continue
to operate at its existing location.
