SUBJECT: HDP 98-07 - LUCIANI RESIDENCE
The City has completed a review of the application for a Hillside Development Permit for
reconstruction of a fire-damaged single family residence on a lot located at 4702 Telescope
Avenue (Assessor’s Parcel Number 207-412-18).
It is the Planning Director’s determination that the project is consistent with the City’s Hillside
Development Ordinance, Chapter 21.95 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and therefore
APPROVES this request based on the following:
Findings:
1. Hillside conditions have been properly identified on the constraints map which show
existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages.
2. Undevelopable areas of the project, i.e. slopes over 40%, have been properly identified on
the constraints map (Exhibit “A”, dated August 17,1998).
3. The development proposal is consistent with the intent, purpose and requirements of the
Hillside Ordinance, Chapter 21.95 in that:
a. natural resource areas, wildlife habitats, and native vegetation areas will not
be impacted;
b. minimal grading, adequate building setback from edge of slope, and an
adequate amount of landscaping will ensure preservation of the natural
appearance of the hillside;
c. the hillside development will be aesthetically pleasing due to the architectural
design, landscaping and sensitive site design; and
d. all hillside conditions have been incorporated into the planning process;

e. the project complies with the land use and open space conservation elements
of the Carlsbad General Plan in that the General Plan allows for single
family development of the site and the proposed site design is sensitive to the
site's hillside topography;
f. erosion and siltation will be minimized through sound grading techniques
and erosion control;
g. a minimal amount of grading is needed to support the proposed project
design;
h. the intensity of development (one 5,492 SF single family home on a .67 acre
lot) on hillside areas is minimized such that the proposed development will be
compatible with the existing topography.
4. The proposed grading and development will not occur in the undevelopable portions of
the site in that the proposed residence will utilize the footprint and foundation of the
previous residence destroyed by fire.
5. The grading design minimizes disturbance of hillside lands in that no additional
grading is proposed and the existing building foundation will be utilized.
6. The project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concept illustrated in the
Hillside Development Guidelines Manual in that development concepts such as:
minimizing the extent of grading, landscapinghcreening graded slopes, and utilizing
varied rooflines have been incorporated into the project.
7. That the Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt fiom the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15304 of
the state CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on. the
environment.
8. The Planning Director finds that the project, as conditioned herein for HDP 98-07, is in
conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan, based on the following:
a. Land Use - The single family residence on a .67 acre lot (1.49dulac) is consistent
with the RLM (3.2 du/ac) General Plan designation.
9. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the
applicable local facilities management plan and all City public facility policies and
ordinances since:
