Existing Conditions & Project Description Existing Setting The subject site consists of a 0.124-acre lot currently developed with a single-family residence and detached accessory structures located at 3374 Carlsbad Blvd. (APN 204-122-06-00). The site is located on the east side of Carlsbad Boulevard between Sycamore Avenue and Chestnut Avenue and is generally flat. The property is zoned Multiple- Family Residential (R-3), Beach Area Overlay (BOA), and has a General Plan Land Use designation of R-23, which allows for 19-23 dwelling units per acre. It is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and falls within the appealable jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone. Site Map May 6, 2026 Item #1 1 of 64 Table “A” below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the subject site and surrounding properties. Also refer to Exhibit 2 for a larger site map.

The duplex will consist of a first-floor parking garage, a 1,910-square-foot, five-bedroom residence on the second floor, and a 1,993-square-foot, three-bedroom residence on the third floor. The two residences will be accessed by exterior stairs at the rear of the structure. The ADUs will be reviewed under a separate permit. Site access will be provided via a driveway off Carlsbad Boulevard. The project proposes a modern architectural style that is commonly seen in southern California coastal communities. The building is finished with white vertical siding, and a “stacked stone” veneer at the base of the structure. Other finishes include glass to enclose the balcony areas, black vinyl shutters, and a 3:12 pitch black standing-seam metal roof. The design includes a consistent application of materials and architectural features aligned with the project’s modern coastal style and is intended to integrate with the surrounding residential context. To accommodate the new development, site grading is proposed to establish the building pad and driveway. The project includes 22.55 cubic yards of cut and 66.29 cubic yards of fill, resulting in a net import of 43.74 cubic yards of material. A separate grading permit will not be required. May 6, 2026 Item #1 2 of 64 Required sewer infrastructure improvements include removal of existing four-inch sewer lateral and installation of new six-inch sewer lateral for residential sewer service. Required water infrastructure improvements include installation of a new one-inch domestic water service, meter, and backflow prevention assembly. This water service installation includes the replacement of the existing 10” AC water main between the project’s proposed connections to the nearest pipe joints with new 10” PVC DR14 water main. The project requires the approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP 2023-0028) and a Coastal Development Permit (CDP 2023-0048). Public Outreach & Comment Public notice of the proposed Project was mailed on April 23, 2026, to property owners within 600 feet of the subject property and all residents within 100 feet. A Draft Notice of Exemption (CEQA) was posted on the city’s website, and an email was distributed to interested individuals on Feb. 2, 2026. The project is also subject to City Council Policy No. 84 (Development Project Public Involvement Policy). As such, a notice of application was sent, by the applicant, to surrounding property owners and a notice placed on the site informing neighbors of their application. These early notices were carried out in March of 2025. No written comments were received by staff about the project in response to the above CEQA notice or in response to the early mailed or posted notice. Response to Public Comment & Project Issues No comments of concern were received about the proposed project at the time of this staff report drafting. Project Analysis General Plan Consistency The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of R-23 Residential, allowing 19-23 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development of a duplex is consistent with the permitted density range. The City of Carlsbad General Plan includes several goals and policies that guide development and land use within the city. A discussion of the project’s consistency with applicable General Plan policies is summarized in Exhibit 3. Municipal Code Consistency The City of Carlsbad Municipal Code, most notably Tile 21 Zoning Code, includes requirements and provisions that guide development and land use within the city, consistent with the General Plan. The project is required to comply with all applicable regulations and development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) zone (CMC Chapter 21.16) and the Beach Area Overlay (BAO) zone (CMC Chapter 21.82). Specific compliance with these relevant requirements is described in Exhibit 3. Local Coastal Program Consistency The project site is within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and falls within the appealable jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone. The project requires a Coastal Development Permit (CDP 2023-0048) and is designed to comply with all applicable coastal policies and zoning standards, as detailed in Exhibit 3. City-Wide Objective Design Standards The City-Wide Objective Design Standards (ODS) grants local authority over the design of future multifamily housing and mixed-use developments within the City, outside of the Village and Barrio Master Plan area. These standards help the city preserve the unique character of the city while adhering to state housing laws aimed at accelerating housing production. Specific compliance with these relevant standards is described in Exhibit 4. May 6, 2026 Item #1 3 of 64 Inclusionary Housing Ordinance The project proposes the construction of two new residential units on a parcel currently developed with one residential unit. For all residential developments of less than seven units, the inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. The proposed project, a net increase of one additional unit, has been conditioned to pay the applicable housing in-lieu fee of $18 per square foot of net building area for one of the two units, or the per-square-foot fee in place at the time of building permit issuance.. Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (HCA) Both affordable and market-rate developments are protected by the components of the HCA. The project is subject to California Government Code Section 65589.5(j)(1), which limits the city's ability to disapprove or reduce the density of a housing development project that complies with the applicable objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards in effect at the time the application was deemed complete. Pursuant to this statute, a city may only deny or condition such a project in a manner that reduces its density if it finds, based on a preponderance of evidence, that the project would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety, and that there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the impact. Staff has not identified evidence to support a finding that the project would result in a specific, adverse impact on public health or safety, as defined by Government Code Section 65589.5(j)(1). Discretionary Actions & Findings In addition to the Coastal Development Permit required for development within the Coastal Zone, the following discretionary actions are requested. Additional analysis of the required findings is provided in Exhibit 3. Site Development Plan (SDP 2023-0028) Pursuant to Section 21.82.040, Beach Arae Overlay (BAO) Zones, approval of a Site Development Plan is required for planned developments within the BAO zone when the project includes four or fewer units, processed pursuant to Chapter 21.06 (Q-Overlay Zone). Staff finds that the required findings for this application can be met (Exhibit 3). Environmental Review Prior to final action by the decision-making body on the Project, an environmental determination shall be made by the appropriate decision-makers as part of the approval action to ensure agency compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff has reviewed the scope of the Project and applicable studies provided by the applicant and finds 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 to CEQA in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 – “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.” Section 15303(b) exempts the construction of a duplex. The Project consists of the construction of a duplex structure. A Draft Notice of Exemption is included as Exhibit 6. This must be reviewed and considered prior to approval of the Project. The draft Notice of Exemption demonstrates that the Project qualifies for the exemption – and that none of the exceptions to categorical exemptions listed in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 or Chapter 19.04 of the Municipal Code have been triggered. As part of an additional and optional public disclosure, the draft Notice of Exemption was posted on the city’s website on Feb. 2, 2026, and an email was sent to parties signed up to receive environmental notices. May 6, 2026 Item #1 4 of 64 Conclusion Based on the analysis in this report and the supporting exhibits, staff finds that the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. All required public improvements and utilities are available to serve the development, and there are no identified environmental constraints. The project has been conditioned to ensure compatibility with surrounding development and to maintain public health, safety, and welfare. The applicant will be required to comply with all applicable California Building Standards Codes and city engineering standards through the building permit and improvement plan review process. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the resolution approving the project as described in this staff report. Exhibits 1. Planning Commission Resolution 2. Location Map 3.

No agricultural uses currently exist on the previously developed site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on-site. The proposed project is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities. 2. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone The development is subject to the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203). The Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone identifies areas of protection: a) preservation of steep slopes and vegetation; b) drainage, erosion, sedimentation, habitat; c) seismic hazards, landslides, and slope instability; and d) floodplain development. The project’s compliance with each of these areas of concern is discussed below: a. Preservation of Steep Slopes and Vegetation. Slopes greater than 25% and possessing endangered plant/animal species and/or coastal sage scrub and chaparral plant communities are considered “dual criteria” slopes and are protected in the Coastal Zone. The project does not support any “dual criteria” slopes. b. Drainage, Erosion, Sedimentation, Habitat. The project will adhere to the city’s Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban run-off, pollutants, and soil erosion. c. Seismic Hazards, Landslides and Slope Instability. The site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction. d. Flood Plain Development. No structures or fill are being proposed within a one-hundred-year floodplain area as identified by the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance For all residential development less than seven units, the inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. However, pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.85.030(D)(3), the construction of a new residential structure which replaces a residential structure that was destroyed or demolished within two years prior to the application for a building permit for the new residential structure is exempt from affordable housing requirements. The demolition of a single-family residence and construction of a new duplex is subject to an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee for one unit based on the unit’s square footage. E. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the Northwest Quadrant of the city. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, a net increase of one unit, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table “C” below.

Project Number and Title: SDP 2023-0028/CDP 2023-0048 (DEV2023-0034) – CARLSBAD BLVD DUPLEX PROJECT Project Location - Specific: 3374 Carlsbad Blvd. Project Location - City: Carlsbad Project Location - County: San Diego Description of Project: Demolition of an existing single-family residence and a detached garage, and construction of a three-story duplex and two detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The duplex will consist of a first-floor parking garage, a 1,910-sqaure-foot, five-bedroom residence on the second floor, and a 1,993-square-foot, three-bedroom residence on the third floor. Name of Public Agency Approving Project: City of Carlsbad Name of Person or Agency Carrying Out Project: JOSH RENNER, JOSH RENNER DESIGN, LLC Name of Applicant: JOSH RENNER, JOSH RENNER DESIGN, LLC Applicant’s Address: P.O. BOX 600455, SAN DIEGO, CA 92160 Applicant’s Telephone Number: (619) 990-8642 Name of Applicant/Identity of person undertaking the project (if different from the applicant above): Exempt Status: (Check One) Ministerial (Section 21080(b)(1); 15268); Declared Emergency (Section 21080(b)(3); 15269(a)); Emergency Project (Section 21080(b)(4); 15269 (b)(c)); Categorical Exemption - State type and section number: New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures – Section 15303 Statutory Exemptions - State code number: Common Sense Exemption (Section 15061(b)(3)) Reasons why project is exempt: CEQA Section 15303 allows for the construction of a duplex or similar multi-family residential structures, totaling no more than four dwelling units. Lead Agency Contact Person: Kyle Van Leeuwen Telephone: 442-339-2611 May 6, 2026 Item #1 44 of 64 Exhibit 6 Exceptions to Exemptions CEQA Section 15300.2 – Exceptions Planning staff evaluated all the potential exceptions to the use of Categorical Exemptions for the proposed project (in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2) and determined that none of these exceptions apply as explained below: a. Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located - a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. This project is eligible for the Class 3 exemption. Response – The project location is not considered to be a particularly sensitive environment due to the following reasons: The site is not located within an Existing or Proposed Hardline Conservation Area or Standards Area of the Habitat Management Plan and the project site is currently developed. Therefore, the project will not have an impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. b. Cumulative Impact - “All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.” Response – There is no evidence to conclude that significant impacts will occur based on past project approvals or that the proposed Project's impacts are cumulatively considerable when evaluating any cumulative impacts associated with construction air quality, noise, transportation, or water quality in the area surrounding the proposed Project. The Project, and all future projects, will be required to comply with all applicable local, regional, and state laws, regulations, and guidelines, and as described above, any potential impact cause by the Project’s construction and operation would continue to be less than significant and would not contribute significantly to regional cumulative impact in the broader project region. Therefore, this exception does not apply. c. Significant Effect - “A categorical exemption shall not be used for any activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. Examples include projects, which may affect scenic or historical resources.” Response – There are no unusual circumstances that would have a significant impact on the environment due to the project. The Project does not involve any unusual circumstances. In regard to biological resources, the project site has been previously developed and is not located within an existing or proposed Hardline Conservation Areas or Standards Areas of the Habitat Management Plan. Additionally, a Cultural Resources Report, dated February 5, 2024, prepared by Krist S. Hawthorne was provided by the applicant which did not identify any historic or archeological resources on the property (Exhibit 1). d. Scenic Highway - “A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified EIR.” Response – The area of proposed development is not located within the view shed of a state scenic May 6, 2026 Item #1 45 of 64 highway or any state highway that is designated as eligible for listing as a scenic highway. The project site is surrounded entirely by existing residential structures. Therefore, implementation of the Project will result in similar visual conditions compared with a no-project scenario. e. Hazardous Waste Site - “A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.” Response – The project site is not listed on the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Hazardous Waste and Substance Site (CORTESE) List. f. Historical Resources - “A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.” Response – a Cultural Resources Report, dated February 5, 2024, prepared by Krist S. Hawthorne (Exhibit 1) was provided by the applicant to determine if the Project would impact any historical resources pursuant to CEQA. The report concluded that none of the buildings on the Project site are listed or eligible to be listed in any national, state, or local landmark or historic district programs, and that no archeological resources were found on site. As such, development of the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, and this exception does not apply. Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 19.04.070(B) - Exceptions Exceptions. Even though a project may otherwise be eligible for an exemption, no exemption shall apply in the following circumstances: 1. Grading and clearing activities affecting sensitive plant or animal habitats, which disturb, fragment or remove such areas as defined by either the California Endangered Species Act (Fish and Game Code Sections 2050 et seq.), or the Federal Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. Section 15131 et seq.); sensitive, rare, candidate species of special concern; endangered or threatened biological species or their habitat (specifically including sage scrub habitat for the California Gnatcatcher); or archaeological or cultural resources from either historic or prehistoric periods; Or 2. Parcel maps, plot plans and all discretionary development projects otherwise exempt but which affect sensitive, threatened, or endangered biological species or their habitat (as defined above), archaeological or cultural resources from either historic or prehistoric periods, wetlands, stream courses designated on U.S. Geological Survey maps, hazardous materials, unstable soils, or other factors requiring special review, on all or a portion of the site. (Ord. NS-593, 2001) Response – The Project site is located in a developed part of the city and is surrounded by residential uses. The Project site contains existing buildings, and the site contains only non-native and ornamental vegetation with no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. Furthermore, the site is not within mapped areas of potential critical habitat as depicted in the City’s General Plan1. A Cultural Resources Report, dated February 5, 2024, prepared by Krist S. Hawthorne concluded that none of the buildings on the Project site are listed or eligible to be listed in any national, state, or local landmark or historic district programs (Exhibit 1). Furthermore, the likelihood that intact 1 City of Carlsbad. 2015 City of Carlsbad General Plan – Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation Element.

Therefore, earth-moving activities associated with the Project would not affect archaeological or cultural resources from either historic or prehistoric periods. Hazardous materials, unstable soils or other factors requiring special review do not apply or are not found within this project location.
