surroundings, or traffic, in that the project involves the conversion of two existing attached dwelling
units on one lot into a twin-home development on separate lots, in which all necessary public
facilities are constructed and in place. The existing two-story project is compatible with
surrounding one and two-family residential uses, and no negative circulation impacts will result as
the existing roadways (Cantil Street and Abejorro Street) are adequate to accommodate the traffic
generated by this project.
3. That the project will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general welfare, in that the
project complies with all applicable development standards ofthe Planned Development Ordinance
(CMC Chapter 21.45) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
4. That the project's design, including architecture, streets and site layout:
a. Contributes to the community's overall aesthetic quality, in that the existing two-story
duplex with attached garages is similar to other surrounding developed residential
projects;
b. Includes the use of harmonious materials and colors, and the appropriate use of landscaping,
in that architectural design elements include a variety of roof planes, off-set building
projections, wood timbering arid stone veneer at the base of the building that are
aesthetically pleasing. The landscaping consists of a variety of plant m;;~terials that
enhance the exterior of the building; and
c. Achieves continuity among all elements of the project, in that all elements (site layout,
architecture, landscaping) create co·ntinuity in the overall project design and the project
blends well with the variety of architectural styles that exist within the surrounding
neighborhood.
5. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant tci Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) Class 3
Categorical Exemption, of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner
has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to
this project.
6. That the request for a Minor Planned Development Permit was adequately noticed at least ten (10)
calendar days before the date of this decision pursuant to Section 21.54.060 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code.

that the subject property is surrounded by existing single-family and two-family homes. The
subdivision of the original.28 acre lot in two lots that are .13 (Parcell) and .15 acre (Parcel2) would
provide a twin home that would result in a density of 7.69 du/ac (Parcell) and 6.67 du/ac (Parcel
