The application details the demolition of an existing one-story single-family residence and one-story secondary dwelling unit to construct a three-unit, two-story apartment complex on a 0.14-acre lot located on the south side of Maple Avenue. The project includes three attached apartment units: Unit A (2,036 square feet), Unit B (2,124 square feet), and Unit C (1,930 square feet). Each unit will be two floors and feature a rooftop deck accessible from within the unit. Parking for the site consists of six spaces located in a subterranean garage, arranged in three tandem pairs (each pair consisting of two spaces parked one behind the other). Vehicular access will be provided by a 12-foot-wide driveway access ramp off Maple Avenue. The project site is not located within the appealable jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone. In response to your application, the Planning Division has prepared this comment letter. Please note that the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with direction and comments on the overall concept of your project. This preliminary review does not represent an in-depth analysis of your project. It is intended to give you feedback on critical issues based upon the information provided in your submittal. This review is based upon the plans, policies, and standards in effect as of the date ofthis review. Please be aware that at the time of a formal application submittal, new plans, policies, and standards may be in effect and additional issues of concern may be raised through a more specific and detailed review. Planning: General 1. General Plan and zoning designations for the property are as follows: a. General Plan: Residential 15-23 dwelling units per acre (R-23) b. Zoning: Multiple-Family Residential Zone (R-3) c. Coastal Zone: The project site is not located within the appealable area of the Coastal Zone and is subject to the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP). The LCP Land Use and Zoning are consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use and Zoning for the site. d. Overlay Zone. The project site is in the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ). 2. The project requires the following permits: Community Development Department Planning Division I 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 442 -339-2600 PRE 2024-0059 (DEV2024-0119) -157 MAPLE AVE TOWN HOMES January 2, 2025 Pa e 2 a. Minor Site Development Plan (SDP) b. Coastal Development Permit (CDP) c. Landscape Plans d. Grading Permit e. Building Permit Planning Commission will be the decision-making authority on the Minor SDP and CDP. 3. Density. The R-23 General Plan Land Use Designation permits a density range of 15-23 dwelling units per acre. The property is approximately 0.14 acres. The proposal to demolish the existing single-family residence and secondary dwelling unit on site and develop a three-unit apartment complex will result in a density of 21.43 dwelling units per acre . This density of 21.43 dwelling units per acre falls within the permitted range of 15 to 23 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the proposal complies with the allowed density, and no reduction in the proposed number of units is required. 4. Technical Studies/Exhibits. A formal submittal of this project shall include the following technical studies/exhibits: a. Historical Resource Report. Building records for the property are unavailable, but based on the construction dates of the adjacent properties -147 Maple Avenue to the west (built in 1951) and 167 Maple Avenue to the east (built in 1963) -it can be reasonably presumed that the existing house was built sometime between the 1950s and 1960s. Therefore, the structure may potentially qualify as a historic resource . Please provide a historical analysis prepared by a qualified historian. The report should assess the historical significance of the existing structures proposed for demolition and be consistent with the City of Carlsbad Tribal, Cultural, and Paleontological Resources Guidelines, which are available on the City of Carlsbad Planning Division website. https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/254/637425976516870000 b. Cultural and Paleontological Resources Studies (2 separate reports). The development of the proposed project will require excavation in an area of the city known to have a high sensitivity as it relates to (1) archeological, and (2) paleontological resources. Please direct your consultant to the city's Tribal, Cultural and Paleontological Resources Guidelines. Please note that any archeological pedestrian survey of the site for the cultural resources study shall also include a Native American monitor during the survey. The city's Tribal, Cultural and Paleontological Resources Guidelines may be found on the city's website at: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/254/637425976516870000 5.

Early coordination with and approval from the Parks Department will be required. 8. Climate Action Plan (CAP). New requirements related to the city's goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will likely impact development requirements of this project. A formal application submittal will need to include a completed Climate Action Plan Checklist (Form P-30) to determine what requirements will apply to the project. New GHG reduction requirements are related to energy efficiency, photovoltaic, electric vehicle charging, water heating and traffic demand management requirements, as set forth in the California Green Building Standards Code and in Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapters 18.21, 18.30 and 18.51 which is available on the city's website at the following address: http://www.qcode .us/codes/car1sbad/view.php?topic=18&frames=on To the extent that new GHG reduction requirements are in effect at the time of application for grading or building permits, the project will be required to comply with the effective requirements even if different than what is proposed in the project's planning approvals. GHG reduction requirements may impact, but are not limited to, site design and local building code requirements. If incorporating new GHG reduction requirements results in substantial modifications to the project after planning approvals are obtained, then prior to issuance of grading or building permits, the applicant may be required to submit and receive approval of a Consistency Determination or an Amendment application for the project through the Planning Division. 9. lnclusionary Housing. The project is subject to Council Policy Statement No. 90 (Policy 90) and the city's lnclusionary Housing Ordinance, Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC} section 21 .85 . As an alternative to constructing inclusionary units as part of the development project, applicants proposing 6 or less units may instead pay a fee. Pursuant to 21.85.030(A), "This chapter [lnclusionary Housing] shall apply to all housing development projects that result in the construction of new residential units, including mixed use projects that include residential units and the conversion of apartments to condominiums". Community Development Department Planning Division I 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 442-339-2600 PRE 2024-0059 (DEV2024-0119)-157 MAPLE AVE TOWNHOMES January 2, 2025 Pa e 4 The current inclusionary housing fee for a residential development project is $18.00 per square feet of net building area per unit. 'Net building area' means the aggregate gross floor area of all unrestricted dwelling units within a development, excluding areas outside of the dwelling unit's habitable space such as garages, carports, parking areas, porches, patios, open space, and excluding common areas such as lobbies, common hallways, stairways, elevators and equipment spaces. Please check the city's Master fee Schedule for the most current rates. Since the project proposes to demolish a Single-Family Residence (SFR), the applicant may receive credit for the existing unit, provided the demolition occurs within two years of project approval. If building permits for the proposed three-unit apartment complex are not applied for within that two- year period, the inclusionary housing fee will be assessed for the full number of new units. For more details on the lnclusionary Housing Program, please see City of Carlsbad Information Bulletin 1B-157: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/9634/637897580094270000 10.

Pursuant to CMC Section 21.44.020 Table A, parking requirements are 2 spaces per unit for units with two or more bedrooms, with at least 1 space covered per unit. For the proposed three-unit apartment complex, this totals 6 residential parking spaces. Additionally, CMC Section 21.82.060 requires visitor parking at a rate of 0.30 spaces per unit, which results in 1 visitor parking space (3 units x 0.30 = 0.9, rounded up to 1). In total, the project requires 7 Community Development Department Planning Division I 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 442-339-2600 PRE 2024-0059 (DEV2024-0119) -157 MAPLE AVE TOWNHOMES January 2, 2025 Pa e 6 parking spaces {6 residential spaces and 1 visitor space). The proposed plans show 6 parking spaces and no visitor parking, resulting in a deficiency of 1 parking space. b. As currently designed, staff cannot support the proposed parking layout in the subterranean garage. Pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.44, Parking Ordinance, tandem parking spaces are not permitted in subterranean garages. This requirement ensures safe and efficient vehicle access and maneuverability. Please redesign the parking layout to provide standard, independently accessible spaces that comply with the Parking Ordinance. c. Subterranean parking that meets the definition of a basement is not restricted by setback requirements. According to CMC Section 21.04.045, a basement is defined as a portion of a building between the floor and ceiling that is partially or completely below existing or finished grade, where the vertical distance from the exterior grade to the adjacent interior floor below is greater than the distance from the exterior grade to the adjacent interior ceiling above. This definition must apply to at least 75 percent of the basement perimeter. Please consider expanding the perimeter of the parking garage to allow for additional circulation. However, note that the basement perimeter is included in lot coverage, and the setback areas above the basement are required to be landscaped pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.44. 14. Setbacks. The proposed development is subject to the R-3 zoning regulations. The required setbacks are as follows: a. Front (north property line-Maple Avenue): The required front yard setback is 20 feet, pursuant to CMC Section 21.16.040. b. Interior Side: Each interior side yard must have a setback of 10 percent of the lot width, with a minimum of 5 feet and a maximum of 10 feet, as specified in CMC Section 21.16.050(A). Plans show 5 feet side yard setbacks. As the property is approximately 40 feet in width, the 5-foot side yard setbacks meet the minimum required. c. Rear Yard: The required rear yard setback is 10 feet, pursuant to CMC Section 21.16.060{A)(l)(b) which stipulates two times the required side yard . As shown the project complies with the required rear yard setback. 15. Building Coverage. a. Pursuant to CMC 21.16.090, the maximum building coverage is sixty percent. Building coverage means the total ground area of a site occupied by any building or structure as measured from the outside of its surrounding external walls or supporting members. If a project is submitted, it shall include an itemized lot coverage calculation for all structures contributing to the building coverage calculation including roof eaves extending thirty inches from the face of any building. Individual dwelling units should be itemized in the lot coverage calculation.

Please ensure the building coverage calculation provided includes the perimeter area of the subterranean parking and walls over 6' in height. 16. Building Height. a. The property is located within the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ), where building height is limited to 30 feet if a roof pitch of at least 3/12 is provided, or 24 feet if the roof pitch is less than 3/12 (CMC Section 21.82.050). Plans indicate a maximum building height of 35 feet which is incorrect and will need to be revised. b. Pursuant to CMC Section 21.04.065(1), building height is measured from the existing grade or finished grade, whichever is lower, and includes all portions of the building exposed above that grade. This includes basements, underground parking structures, or other subterranean areas that are visible above grade. However, the portion of an underground parking entrance that is minimally necessary for vehicle access and located below adjacent grade is not included in the height measurement. c. The plans currently show a finished grade that is lower than the existing grade. Please ensure that building height is measured and labeled from the finished grade, excluding the underground parking entrance where permitted. d. While the overall building height for the proposed three-unit apartment complex has not been provided, upon formal submittal, please include elevation sheets illustrating a dashed line to represent the maximum height limit. This line should be shown at each measurement point, accounting for topographic changes with a "warped plane" where applicable, as outlined in the "Guide to Measuring Building Height."
