The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination on the
property located at APNs: 215-023-02-24, 215-023-11-01, and 215-023-12-29 which is a modification to
GPA 14-06/2C 14-04/LCPA 14-06/CT 14-10/PUD 14-12/SDP 14-15/CDP 14-34/ HDP 14-07 /HMP 14-04 -
POINSETTIA 61 that approved the development of a 50.8-acre site for a 123-unit single-family detached
condominium project.
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of
the findings below and APPROVES this request. The proposed modification includes:
• A patio cover plan which demonstrates the area allowed for attached patio covers for
condominium units within the Treviso subdivision. Proposed patio covers are required to
comply with this patio cover plan.
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings
must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function in that the modification only includes
the proposal to allow attached patio covers for each residential unit within the Treviso
subdivision within the approved areas as shown on Exhibits '~" -"B." If a property owner elects
to construct a patio cover, the patio cover is required to be consistent with the residence in
material, color and design to ensure compatibility with the approved project. Therefore, the
modification will not alter or eliminate any condition, feature, facility, or amenity that had been
considered essential to the approved project.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the revision includes an
upgrade in the design of the approved subdivision in that the patio covers will accent the
residences by providing variation to wall planes. The patio covers will be compatible with the
neighborhood in that the material, design, and color must match each residence.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property in that the
modification will allow for attached patio covers within the boundary of each approved
residence and will not result in the construction of additional dwelling units or adjustments to
the property line boundary.

4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of o new fond 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
Municipal Code. The existing lot coverage is 37 percent and with the proposed modification to
allow for patio covers, the lot coverage wlll be 47 percent and therefore, the proposed revision
to allow patio covers for each residence will result in only a ten percent change in lot coverage
while maintaining compliance with all applicable development standards in the Carlsbad
Municipal Code such as height and setbacks.
7} The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation because the proposed modifications are categorically exempt from the
requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303 -New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures of the state California Environmental Quality Act
Statute and Guidelines. The proposed modifications do not create any potential impacts not
previously addressed.
8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9} There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10} The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved because the proposed modification
to allow attached patio covers to each residential unit represents a minor change to the site.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
