1 A developer may apply for concessions or incentives (referred to as concessions) if the developer includes affordable units in the
development. One to four concessions are available for each development depending on the percentage of affordable housing that will
be included within the development. A concession is one of three things (Gov. Code §65915, subd. (k)(l)-(3)):
• A reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements that
exceed minimum building standards that result in identifiable and actual cost reduction to provide for affordable housing costs or
rents. Development Standard" includes a site or construction condition, including, but not limited to, a height limitation, a setback
requirement, a floor area ratio, an onsite open-space requirement, or a parking ratio that applies to a residential development
pursuant to any ordinance, general plan element, specific plan, charter, or other local condition, law, policy, resolution, or regulation.
(Gov. Code §65915, subd. (o)(l)).
• Approval of mixed use zoning in conjunction with the housing project if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will reduce
the cost of the housing development and if such uses are compatible with the housing project and the existing or planned
development in the area.
• Other regulatory concessions proposed by the developer or city that result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for
affordable housing costs or rents.
The City shall grant the concession unless one or more of the following written findings can be made (Gov. Code §65915, subd. (d)(l)(A)-
(C)):
• The concession does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs, or for rents for the
targeted units.
• The concession would have a "specific adverse impact upon public health and safety or the physical environment or on any real
property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily
mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low and moderate income
households."
• The concession would be contrary to state or federal law.
2 In addition to concessions, an applicant may submit a proposal for a waiver or reduction (referred to as waiver) of development standards.
(Gov. Code §65915, subd. (e)(l)). In no case may a city apply any development standard that will have the effect of physically precluding
the construction of a development at the density or concessions permitted. The City shall grant the waiver unless one or more of the
following written findings can be made (Gov. Code §65915, subd. (e)(l)):
• The waiver will have a specific adverse impact upon health, safety, or the physical environment and for which there is no feasible
method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact.
• The waiver will have a specific adverse impact on any real property listed in California Register of Historical Resources.
• The waiver would be contrary to state or federal law.

945-1065 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008 (the "Site")
203-320-53-00; 203-320-54-00; 203-320-55-00; 203-320-56-00
The 4.12-acre Site is currently occupied by a retail shopping center with a total floor area of
approximately 58,735 square feet within five buildings, which are occupied by a variety of retail
uses, as well as a surface parking lot spread across four lots. The Site is surrounded by
Carlsbad Village Drive to the north, Interstate 5 (1-5) Freeway to the east, Oak Avenue to south,
and an unnamed public alley to the west. The property is substantially surrounded by urban
uses.
The Site is located approximately 0.4 miles from downtown Carlsbad and approximately 0.6
miles from the Pacific Ocean. Primary regional access to the Site is provided via the 1-5
freeway, which generally runs N/S and is adjacent to the Site. The Site has convenient access
to public transportation and is located within a transit priority area, served by the Coaster and
Amtrak, as well as numerous bus lines within walking distance. The closest major transit stop is
Carlsbad Village Station, located approximately 0.4 miles east of the Site. NCTD bus route 315
provides service between Camp Pendleton, Sprinter, and Carlsbad Village Station, with stops
immediately adjacent to the project Site.
The project Site is surrounded by a variety of uses, including an adjacent gas station, a 4-story
mixed-use building across Carlsbad Village Drive to the north, multifamily buildings to the south
across Oak Ave, and various public and commercial uses to the west across the public alley.
The Site is designated as Village (V) in the General Plan with the zoning designation of Village-
Review (V-R) and is located more specifically within the Freeway Commercial (FC) District of
the Village and Barrio Master Plan (VBMP). All the properties surrounding the Site are
designated for FC uses under the VBMP, except for properties located to the south of the Site,
across Oak Ave, which are designated Barrio Perimeter (BP).
The FC District permits a wide array of uses associated with urban freeway interchanges
including lodging, retail, restaurant, residential and mixed uses. The allowable residential base
density range in the FC District is 28-35 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).
Project Description:
The Site's existing commercial buildings and paved areas would be removed in order to develop
the project, which would consist of 219 multifamily residential units, including 22 units ( or 15% of
base density) deed restricted to Very Low Income (VLI) households, and approximately 13,800
square feet of commercial retail/restaurant uses. The proposed commercial uses would be
contained in three, one-story buildings along Carlsbad Village Drive, and the residential units,
including the VLI units, would be spread across two buildings separated by a landscaped paseo
and courtyard. Approximately 350 vehicular parking spaces will be provided at-grade
surrounding the commercial and residential buildings and within an above-grade parking
structure. The new proposed buildings and parking structure would have a maximum height of
approximately 56 feet.
Vehicular access to the site would occur via four access points from the surrounding public
streets and alley. Two vehicular driveways would be provided on the northern boundary of the
property along Carlsbad Village Drive which lead to the project's onsite at-grade parking stalls
as well as the parking structure access point. Additional vehicular access to the parking
structure would be provided from Oak Ave for tenants. Site access would also be provided from
the public alley.
The Project's commercial space along Carlsbad Village Drive is anticipated to contain a variety
of neighborhood serving retail and restaurant uses. The residential building includes variety of
ancillary uses and open space, including landscaped courtyards, rooftop terraces, private
balconies, and extensive residential amenities such as sky decks, a swimming pool and
courtyard, indoor amenity areas, a lobby, leasing office, and mail room.
It is anticipated that the Project will be constructed in a single phase, subject to market
conditions.

1. Waiver of FC Supplemental District Standards building height maximum of 45 feet and 4
stories in VBMP Section 2. 7.4(G)(1). The proposed project would include building
heights up to five stories, with a maximum building height of 56 feet. However, the fourth
and fifth stories of the residential buildings will include varying setbacks, plane breaks,
and articulation to minimize the appearance of the fifth floor. Imposing the 45 feet and
four story height limit would reduce the project's developable floor area and would
physically preclude construction of the proposed project at the density permitted by CMC
Chapter 21.86. A waiver of maximum building height does not result in a specific
adverse impact upon public health and safety, the physical environment, or a listed
historical property.
2. Waiver of FC Supplemental District Standards to limit the total square footage of
enclosed fourth floor space not to exceed 80% of the largest floor space below in VBMP
Section 2. 7.4(G)(2)(a). The proposed project will include building heights up to five
stories, The fourth and fifth stories of the residential building will include varying
setbacks and the enclosed fourth and fifth floor space of the residential buildings will be
less than the floors below. Requiring the project to limit its fourth floor area to 80% of the
largest floor below would reduce the amount of units able to fit within the project and
physically preclude construction of the proposed project at the density permitted by CMC
Chapter 21.86. A waiver of the requirement limiting total square footage of the enclosed
fourth floor space does not result in a specific adverse impact upon public health and
safety, the physical environment, or a listed historical property.
3. Waiver of FC Supplemental District Standards to require a 10-foot front yard setback
along Carlsbad Village Drive in VBMP Section 2. 7.4(A)(1). The City of Carlsbad has
requested an 8-foot dedication along Carlsbad Village Drive to provide for future street
and sidewalk improvements. The proposed project would maintain a 2-foot setback from
the post-dedication property line. Requiring a 10-foot setback from to post-dedication
property line would reduce the developable pad area and physically preclude
construction of the project at the density and with the incentives or concessions
permitted by CMC Chapter 21. 86. A waiver of the front yard setback standard does not
result in a specific adverse impact upon public health and safety, the physical
environment, or a listed historical property.
