NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Design Review Board of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) B) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Design Review Board RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of Village By The Sea CT 01-10, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: FINDINGS: 1. 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, the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Village Redevelopment Plan and the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health problems. 2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding properties are located within Land Use District 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area and the intent of the Village Master Plan is to provide for a gradual transition in this district to a mix of higher quality commercial and residential uses. 3. 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 development is consistent with the RH density designation which has been assigned to the property based on the following findings: a. The density is compatible with the surrounding area which contains a variety of uses such as residential, commercial office, retail, a residential care facility, and a private school with on-site residents. Residential uses in the area range from single family residential to multi-family residential. The RH General Plan density designation allows for the construction of a project that is compatible with the mixture of surrounding uses in terms of size, scale, and overall density cale. b. The RH General Plan density designation serves to satisfy the goals of the Village Redevelopment Master Plan by increasing the number, quality, diversity, and affordability of housing units within the Village. c. The RH General Plan density designation serves to satisfy the objectives of Land Use District 1 by increasing the number of residential units in close proximity to shops, restaurants, and mass transportation (Village Transit Station). 4. 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 property has frontage on Carlsbad Boulevard, Washington Street, Beech Avenue and Christiansen Way and there are no easements granting access through the property to others. 5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act). 6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision. 7. That the Design Review Board 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. DRB RES0 NO. 288 -2- c 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, in that a Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, the State Guidelines and the Environmental Protection Procedures of the City of Carlsbad. Based on the EIA Part II and comments thereon, the Design Review Board finds that there is no substantial evidence the project will have a significant effect on the environment. 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 is conditioned to comply with the City’s requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The Design Review Board finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, the Village Redevelopment Plan and Village Master Plan and Design Guidelines based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated June 24, 2002 including, but not limited to the following: the project will provide for a permitted mixed-use development (multi-family residential and retail commercial) in an appropriate location within Land Use District 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the applicable local facilities management plan, and all City public facility policies and ordinances since: a. The project has been conditioned to ensure that building permits will not be issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the District Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for this project. b. Statutory School fees will be paid or otherwise satisfied to ensure the availability of school facilities in the Carlsbad Unified School District. C. Park-in-lieu fees are required as a condition of approval. d. All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as conditions of approval. e. The developer has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee will enable this body to find that public facilities will be available concurrent with need as required by the General Plan. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project.
