SUBJECT: CD 2025-0004 (DEV2023-0033) – TIMM RESIDENCE
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, CD 2025-
0004, which is a modification to CDP 2023-0011/SDP 2024-0010, a Coastal Development Permit and Site
Development Plan to demolish a single-family dwelling and to construct three, one-family dwellings with
three attached garages including one subterranean garage, a pool patio and a pool and spa at 314 Date
Avenue (APN 206-080-24-00). The original project, CDP 2023-0011/SDP 2024-0010, was approved by the
Planning Commission on June 19, 2024, pursuant to Planning Commission Resolution No. 7515.
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 modifications include:
• Increase the height of Unit 2 by one foot (12 inches) from 21 feet, 10 inches to 22 feet, 10
inches.
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 no changes are proposed to
the footprint of the building. The floor plans and proposed use, consisting of the pool cabana on
the first floor and living area on the second floor, will remain the same. The proposed change
are limited to the height.
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 new height of 22 feet,
10 inches will not exceed the maximum building height of the Residential Density-Multiple and
Beach Area Overlay Zone of 30 feet, and no changes to the design are proposed. Therefore, the
structure will remain compatible with the other proposed units on site as well as with the
surrounding neighborhood.
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 in that no
changes to the footprint of the building are proposed.
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 in that the increase in height form 21 feet, 10 inches to 22 feet, 10 inches will
result in a 4.6% increase in height.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation.
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 in that the revisions to the height
of Unit 2 are minor in nature.
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.
