In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings

U.S.C. § 14?5 (a)).
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon

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
