permits necessitated by the multiple zoning districts involved, overlapping coastal
jurisdictions, and unique physical and functional characteristics of both the site and
proposed development. As discussed below, with the approval of the Local Coastal
Program Amendment to allow CLH to continue to operate as a non-visitor sewing
commercial use and approval of variances to height and setback standards for which
the necessary justification is provided, the project complies with the policies and
regulations of each of the applicable coastal programs and zoning districts.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Due to the complexity of the project, staff recommends that the reader refer to the
reduced exhibits, Attachments “A-1”, “A” - “R” and “T through “V” which identify
the various zone and coastal program boundaries, locations of the requested variance
requests, and architectural features discussed in the following project description.
The attachments contain the same lettering as the corresponding full sized exhibits.
This project consists of the demolition, redevelopment, and expansion of the
Carlsbad by the Sea Lutheran Home located at 2855 Carlsbad Boulevard and 201
Grand Avenue. The existing professional care use will not change, however, the
project requires a Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) to exempt Carlsbad
by the Sea Lutheran Home from the Village Redevelopment LCP requirement for
visitor commercial uses on the entire ground floor of all projects in Sub-area 5. The
proposed project will increase the overall size of the existing facility, add a structure
to the vacant parcel west of Ocean Street, and increase the size and number of
commercial living units in the professional care facility from 102 living units and 59
skilled nursing beds to 159 living units, 33 skilled nursing beds, and 2 visitor units.
As shown on Attachment ”B”, the skilled nursing facility will be relocated from its
existing location on Parcel B to the second floor of the proposed main facility on
Parcel A, and the new facility proposed on Parcel B will consist of living units and
a therapy center.
The existing main structure fronting Carlsbad Boulevard is multi-story, approximately
36.5 feet in height, and,identified as a locally significant historic structure requiring
mitigation under CEQA. It was constructed partially of unreinforced concrete
masonry in 1929, and currently is not in compliance with local and state seismic code
requirements. The applicant’s decision to redevelop rather than rehabilitate the
existing facility stems from the estimated cost of seismically retrofitting the main
structure along with costs for major upgrades to the aging plumbing, heating, and
electrical systems. The applicant has also indicated that the existing facility is no
longer competitive with other comparable professional care facilities due to
accessibility problems and living units, which are converted hotel rooms that are too
few, too small and poorly configured.
As shown on Attachments “A-1” and “B”, the existing and proposed Carlsbad by the
Sea Lutheran Home consists of multiple structures on three separate parcels which

have multiple General Plan designations and are subject to multiple zoning and local
coastal plan (LCP) regulations as described below:
Parcel A, now containing the main facility, is a 2.3 acre parcel dropping in elevation
13’ from east to west and occupying the entire block bounded by Carlsbad Boulevard,
Ocean Street, Christiansen Way, and Grand Avenue. The existing facility provides
no onsite parking and utilizes onstreet public parking to satisfy its parking demand.
The General Plan designated land use for the portion of the property located within
the Village Redevelopment boundaries is “Village”, which is implemented by the V-R
zoning ordinance, Village Design Manual (Sub-area 5), and V-R LCP. The portion
of the parcel located west of the Village Redevelopment boundaries is designated by
the General Plan for medium high density residential (RMH) land use, is subject to
the R-3/Beach Area Overlay (BAO) zoning ordinances, and the Mello I1 LCP. The
proposed redevelopment of Parcel A requires approval of a local coastal program
amendment, major redevelopment permit including a height exemption, coastal
development permit, and conditional use permit, as well as a Planning Commission
Determination of General Plan Consistency for the partial street vacation of
Christiansen Way.
Parcel B is a .9 acre lot fronting Carlsbad Boulevard south of Grand Avenue. The
site is currently occupied by a 59 bed skilled nursing facility with 16 onsite parking
spaces, which was approved by conditional use permit in 1973 and constructed in
1974. Parcel B, designated by the General Plan for Village land uses, is subject to
the V-R zoning ordinance, the Village Design Manual (Sub-area 5), and V-R LCP.
The proposed redevelopment of Parcel B requires approval of a local coastal
program amendment, major redevelopment permit, and coastal development permit.
The redevelopment permit and coastal development permit will supersede the
previous unnumbered conditional use permit.
Parcel C, a vacant, 12,600 square foot ocean front lot west of Ocean Street, is
designated for high density residential (RH) land use and is subject to the R-3 and
BAO zoning ordinances as well as the Hillside Development Ordinance due to its
severe (coastal bluff) topography. This parcel is also subject to the Mello I1 LCP.
The proposed development of Parcel C requires approval of a conditional use permit,
hillside development permit, and variance to height and setback standards.
Parcels A and B are surrounded by the Town Center and Ocean Manor Motel
commercial developments to the south and west, the Cove Restaurant, Alt Karlsbad,
and commercial shops to the east, the Best Western Beach Terrace Inn and St.
Michael’s Church to the North, and residential development in the Beach Area to
the west. Parcel C is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west, residential
development to the north and south, and the CLH project to the east.
As shown on Attachment “L”, the proposed design replicates the front facade of the
existing main structure along Carlsbad Boulevard and retains a central court yard in
the main facility. The replication of the existing 36.5’ front facade is required as

mitigation for demolishing the locally significant structure and results in building
height along Carlsbad Boulevard which exceeds the 35’ maximum. Within the V-R
Zone, the proposed structures (Parcels A and B) will be three story above
subterranean parking garages. The main structure (Parcel A) will terrace down to
two stones in the BAO zone east of Ocean Street. As shown on Attachments “L
& “P”, a driveway ramp located along the northern elevation of the main structure
provides access to subterranean parking garages and results in building height which
exceeds the maximum at that location. Although Parcel B is completely within the
VR Zone, a terraced design will be provided to create a transition from three stories
to two stories along the Garfield Street frontage to ensure compatibility with the
smaller scale development located west of Garfield Street within the BAOZ (see
Attachment “MI’). Additionally, since Parcel B abuts the Town Center commercial
development to the south, the facility is designed to orient living units away from the
commercial development. The structure located on Parcel C west of Ocean Street
is three stories along its western elevation, however, as shown on Attachments “M”
and ‘T”, its flat roof, which is only 5’ above grade along Ocean Street, will be utilized
as a roof garden. This structure, which exceeds the allowed building height, requires
a variance to the BAOZ building height standard of 24’ and two stones. It will also
require a variance to the 20’ front setback standard due to the provision of a partially
subterranean parking garage within the front setback, and an administrative variance
to the required 9’ side yard setback due to suspended exterior landings which provide
access to units along the sides of the structure.
The project will provide a total of 233 onsite parking spaces in subterranean garages
located beneath all three structures. As designed, the project requires a partial
vacation of Christiansen Way excess right-of-way from 80’ to 38’ resulting in the loss
of 26 public parking spaces along that right-of-way (See Attachments “B” and “P”.)
As mitigation for the loss of public parking, the applicant proposes to construct a 51
space public parking lot within the unimproved Garfield Street right-of-way located
between Christiansen Way and Beech Avenue (See Attachment “A). Also included
in the proposed mitigation is: 1) the redesign of the existing Grand Avenue 100’
right-of-way to add a 22’ wide landscaped parkway including a 10’ wide promenade
(sidewalk) to the beach access at the end of Grand Avenue and the addition of
diagonal parking on the south side of Grand Avenue between Carlsbad Boulevard
and Garfield Street (see Attachment “T“); and 2) street improvements surrounding
the project which will formalize public onstreet parking and improve pedestrian
circulation. These mitigation measures are discussed in the Analysis Section of this
report under Conditional Uses - Traffic Issues.
Since the portion of the project within the VR zone requires a recommendation by
the Design Review Board and approval by the Housing and Redevelopment
Cornmission, and the portion of the project within the R-3/BAO zone requires
Planning Commission approval, staff has scheduled a joint Design Review
BoardPlanning Commission public hearing. Separate resolutions are attached for
the DRB, which will make a recommendation to the Housing and Redevelopment

the project, the applicant must appeal the decision(s) to the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission and/or City Council. All project approvals will be
contingent upon City Council approval of a partial Christansen Way street vacation,
and City approval of this project will be contingent upon approval by the California
Coastal Commission of the LCPA and coastal development permits for the entire
project.

Iv. ANALYSIS
Staffs recommendation of approval for this project is based upon the following
analysis of the project’s consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed
above. The following analysis section discusses compliance with each of these
regulations/policies utilizing tables and text depicting and describing consistency with
policies, ordinances, and standards.
A. General Plan
The proposed project is consistent with the policies and programs of the General
Plan. The table below indicates how the project complies with the Land Use,

Circulation, Noise, and Open Space elements of the General Plan which are
particularly relevant to this proposal.
1) Partial Street Vacation - Christiansen Way
Consistent with Section 65402(a) of the California Planning and Zoning Law, no
street shall be vacated if the adopted general plan applies thereto until the location,
purpose and extent of such street vacation has been submitted to and reported upon
by the planning agency as to conformity with the adopted general plan.
The applicant is requesting the partial vacation of Christiansen Way to construct a
driveway ramp within the southern half of the right-of-way. The driveway ramp will
provide access to two levels of onsite subterranean parking garages. The proposed
partial street vacation will reduce both the right-of-way width and curb-to-curb width of Christiansen Way between Carlsbad Boulevard and Ocean Street. This segment
of Christiansen Way is a local, two-lane street with parking on both sides within 46’
of curb-to-curb width and 80’ of right-of-way. City standards for local streets require
only 60’ of right-of-way and 40’ of curb-to-curb width allowing for two 12’ wide travel
lanes and parallel parking on both sides.
The proposed partial street vacation will reduce Christiansen Way to 38’ of right-of-
way width between Carlsbad Boulevard and Garfield Street and to 56’ of right-of-way
width between Garfield Street and Ocean Street. The reduction in right-of-way will
result in a roadway which is 28’ wide from curb-to-curb with 14’ wide travel lanes in
each direction. The proposed partial vacation to 28’ of curb-to-curb width is
consistent with City standards since two 14’ wide travel lanes will be provided and no
parking will be allowed within this 28’ roadway section. While 26 public parking
spaces will be lost along Christiansen Way, there will be no net loss of public parking
spaces due to the construction by the applicant of a public parking lot within the
Garfield Street right-of-way and the redesign of Grand Avenue to add diagonal
parking spaces. Since CLH currently uses onstreet public parking to satisfy their
parking demand, the proposed construction of the driveway ramp and onsite parking
garages will result in an actual increase of public parking available in the immediate
project vicinity.
Christiansen Way currently operates at level of service (LOS) A, and traffic at peak
hour is at 50% of its capacity. The proposed roadway capacity will not change due
to the reduction in width, and it will continue to operate at LOS “A’ upon
completion of the project. Additionally, sidewalks proposed on both sides of the
Christiansen Way right-of-way will improve pedestrian circulation along this road segment which currently provides no sidewalks except along the St. Michael’s
front age.
The partial street vacation including the proposed improvements are consistent with
the General Plan Circulation Element as specified in the table below; therefore, this
report fulfills the Section 65402(a) planning agency report requirement.

ercial operation with high density resident1 characteristics; therefore, it is consistent with both commercial and high densiGresiden6al land uses.
**The preliminary noise report concludes that the only exterior areas subject to noise levels above
, 60 dB are the Parcel B balconies located along Carlsbad Boulevard. According to the preliminary noise report, the existing exterior noise level is 67 dB with a projected future noise level of 70 dB.
In accordance with the City’s Noise Guidelines, the outdoor balconies, which are less than 6’ deep, are exempt from the 60 CNEL exterior noise standard. All other outdoor areas within the project are at or below 60 CNEL. Due to extensive roof equipment located on the roof of the main structure (Parcel A), an analysis was performed to ensure that the proposed roof screens and noise
barriers are adequate to avoid any increase in existing noise levels at the project boundaries. The
existing 60 CNEL noise level along the Ocean Street frontage will increase to approximately 61
CNEL with proposed sound attenuation design measures due to noise generated by roof equipment;
therefore, the project has been conditioned to require additional sound attenuation measures/devices to ensure that noise levels do not exceed existing noise levels at project boundaries prior to occupancy.
B. Mello I1 and Village Redevelopment Local Coastal Programs
1. Mello I1 Local Coastal Program
The portion of the project (Parcel C) located in the Mello I1 LCP is consistent with
the relevant Land Use Plan policies for erosion control, bluff stabilility, stringline
setbacks seaward of Ocean Street, and shoreline access. Required compliance with
the recommendations of the preliminary geotechnical report will ensure slope stability
and avoid further erosion of the beach front property. A foundation/seawall is
proposed “in-line” with existing seawalls to the northwest and southeast in order to
prevent accelerated erosion or scour within corner areas between adjacent walls. As
shown on Attachment “B”, the required seaward stringline setback is provided by the
project thereby ensuring the required lateral public beach access. Vertical access is

currently provided by existing public access stairways located within 60’ of the project
to the north and south at the terminus’ of Grand Avenue and Christiansen Way.
The project site has been used historically as a private, fenced viewing area by
Carlsbad by the Sea residents and provides no direct public access to the beach. As
shown on Attachment “M”, the visual access to the beach available from Ocean
Street will be preserved to the maximum extent possible through project design which
incorporates a flat roof deck approximately 5’ above grade at Ocean Street. The only
proposed roof deck structures are two 13’ high storage and elevator enclosures, and
a windscreen consisting of columns at 10’ - 15’ intervals which are connected by glass.
Improvements which will formalize public parking and improve pedestrian and
vehicular access to the beach include curb, gutter, and sidewalk on both sides of
Christiansen Way and Ocean Street, the landscaped enhancement of a 22’ wide
parkway on the North side of Grand Avenue, including a 10’ wide promenade
(sidewalk) to the beach, and the construction of a 51 space public parking lot in the
unimproved Garfield Street right-of-way.
2. Village Redevelopment Local Coastal Program
The Village Design Manual is the zoning document implementing the local coastal
program for the redevelopment area. The manual specifies uses and development
standards for each of seven sub-areas. A portion of the proposed project is located
within Sub-area 5 which is located entirely within the coastal zone. Developments
entirely devoted to visitor commercial uses are preferred in this area, however, the
document requires that “the entire ground floor of all projects shall be devoted to
visitor commercial uses. Mixed use projects which do not meet this criteria ...... shall
require approval by the Coastal Commission or its executive director as an
amendment to the Local Coastal Program.”
The applicant is requesting a Local Coastal Program Amendment to remove CLH
from the requirement for ground floor visitor commercial uses. CLH is not
proposing to add a visitor commercial use on the ground floor of their project since
the main facility, which will house the skilled nursing facility on the second floor, will
provide amenities such as dining room, chapel, and administrative offices on the first
floor above grade, similar to the existing project. Functional problems associated
with this type of private care facility preclude the integration of a visitor serving
commercial use on the ground floor. The adjacent structure south of Grand Avenue
will house residential living units and provide amenities geared to more active
residents, however the facility is primarily residential. Compliance with the multiple
zone regulations applicable to the CLH parcels as well as the provision of a visitor
serving commercial use on the entire first floor would functionally disrupt the entire
professional care operation and substantially reduce the number of living units
proposed by the applicant.
A land use inventory of existing visitor serving commercial uses and the potential for
future visitor serving uses in Sub-area 5 was performed to verify that adequate visitor
-

V 9441/PCD/GPC 95-03 - CARLSBAD BY THE SEA LUTHERAN HOME
AUGUST 16, 1995
PAGE 10
commercial uses are currently available and will be available in the future. The
inventory excludes the existing institutional uses (Carlsbad by the Sea, St. Michael’s
Church, Army Navy Academy) from the existing and future inventory since these uses
are desirable to the community and are being proposed as allowable uses by the new
Village Master Plan until they cease to operate at their current locations.
The result of the land use survey is that adequate visitor commercial uses, including
parks, are currently available in Sub-area 5 (coastal zone) and that adequate area is
reserved to satisfy future demand for visitor commercial uses. As the inventory and
accompanying analysis indicate, nearly half of the 49 developable acres within Sub-
area 5 are currently developed with visitor sewing commercial uses and parks while
another 8 acres will become visitor commercial uses when redeveloped. Therefore,
with approximately two-thirds of the area either currently developed with or reserved
for future visitor serving uses, the retention of approximately 2.56 acres (.5%) of land
in Sub-area 5 to accommodate the long standing CLH professional care facility, and
a total of 35% of the area if all of the institutional uses are retained, will not
significantly impact the availability of visitor sewing commercial uses in the Village
coastal zone.
C. Conditional Uses (Chapter 21.42 of the Zoning Ordinance)
In the V-R and R-3BAO zones, the proposed professional care facility is allowed as a
conditional use. Conditional uses in any zone are generally allowed if the use is necessay
or desirable for the development of the community, compatible with surrounding uses, and
consistent with the General Plan. Additionally, the site and street system must be adequate
to accommodate the use and the project design must be integrated into the neighborhood.
General Plan Consistency and Com~atibility
Both the CLH use and facility are considered necessary and desirable to satisfy the needs
of the elderly in the community, and the use is consistent with residential and commercial
land uses designated for the area by the General Plan. The fact that the professional care
facility has occupied the site for 40 years without incident is evidence of its compatibility
with the neighborhood, and although the proposed facility will be expanded so that its scale
and operation are increased, the following project design features will integrate the project
into the existing neighborhood: 1) replication of the historic Carlsbad Mineral Springs
Hotel architecture; 2) terraced-down architectural design in which development will be
smaller in scale in the beach area; 3) addition of onsite, subterranean parking garages; 4)
orientation of Parcel B living units away from the southern property line to the greatest
extent possible by locating stairways and an outdoor recreation area along the southerly
property line and limiting south facing windows in order to buffer units from adjacent
commercial development; and 5) enhanced landscaping including the retention andlor
replacement of numerous palm trees existing on the site.

Traffic Issues (Street System and Parkinel
With the proposed street vacation and right-of-way improvements, the street system serving
the project, which includes Carlsbad Boulevard, Grand Avenue, Christiansen Way, and
Ocean Street, will be adequate to serve the project. A redesign of the street system
surrounding CLH is proposed due to the addition of onsite parking in subterranean parking
garages. With onsite parking available for only 16 vehicles, the existing CLH facility utilizes
surrounding onstreet public parking to satisfy its staff, resident, and visitor parking needs.
As shown on the parking table on Attachment “A, there is a total of 100 parking spaces
available on the roadways directly adjacent to the site and an additional 30 parking spaces
available in the unimproved Garfield Street right-of- way, directly north of the project.
However, many of these parking spaces are currently being utilized by CLH staff, residents,
and visitors of the existing facility, thereby making them unavailable to the public. As shown
on Attachment “P”, the expansion of the facility and the provision of a driveway ramp to
access onsite subterranean parking garages, necessitates a project design requiring the partial
vacation of the Christiansen Way excess right-of-way from 80 feet to 38 feet (28 foot
roadway, no parking, and two 5 foot sidewalks) and a redesign of the existing 100’ Grand
Avenue right-of-way. The narrowing of Christiansen Way to two lanes with no parking on
either side will not reduce the level of service or reduce access to any properties located
north of Christiansen Way, however, it will result in the loss of 26 onstreet public parking
spaces. As mitigation for the loss of public parking spaces, the applicant has agreed to: 1)
construct an offsite 51 space public parking lot within the unimproved Garfield Street right-
of-way, north of the project between Christiansen Way and Beech Avenue (see Attachment
“A”); 2) enhance the Grand Avenue 100’ right-of-way between Carlsbad Boulevard and
Ocean Street including the addition of a 22’ wide landscaped promenade (10’ sidewalk) on
the north side and diagonal parking spaces will replace parallel spaces along the south
project frontage, and a redesign of the Grand Avenue/Carlsbad Boulevard intersection (see
Attachment “T”); and 3) construct curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements within the
Ocean Street, Christiansen Way, and Garfield Street rights-of-way. The above
improvements will result in a net increase of two public parking spaces in the immediate
project vicinity.
To accomplish the Grand Avenue improvements, the west “leg” of the Grand
Avenue/Carlsbad Boulevard intersection must be narrowed. This narrowing will change the
geometrics of the intersection which will result in a potential modification to the existing
traffic signal operation. The project’s traffic report analyzed what effect any modifications
to the traffic signal would have on the existing operation of this intersection. In summary,
the traffic report states that additional delay for movements on Carlsbad Boulevard may be
incurred; however, this additional delay would be minimal and is considered insignificant.
According to the Traffic Report, the result of the proposed roadway redesigns, including the
partial vacation of Christiansen Way, is that there will be a net gain of two public parking
spaces, roadways will operate at the same level of service as existing, and pedestrian
circulation and safety will be improved due to the addition of curbs and sidewalks along all
street frontages including the north side of Christiansen Way and both sides of the Garfield

Street parking lot. With the addition of onsite parking, the CLH project will result in an

* Does not comply with standard and requires an exemption in the V-R Zone or a Variance in the
BAOZ. See Exemptioflariance discussion below.
1. Planning Department Administrative Policy No. 15 - Roof Decks in the BAOZ ,
Administrative Policy No. 15 limits the area of roof decks to 25% of the building
footprint within the BAOZ. The intent of this policy was to limit development
intensity, discourage flat roof structures, and avoid potential privacy concerns from
surrounding development due to excessive roof deck areas. Policy No. 15 was not
applied to the Parcel C development since the proposed roof deck is under one-half
story in height along Ocean Street thereby limiting its intensity as well as avoiding
privacy concerns of neighbors whose development is more intense. Although flat
roof structures are normally not as architecturally desirable as pitched roof structures,
the flat roof deck will visually enhance the street scene since it will maximize public
views of the ocean and consists of 31% landscaping which far exceeds the area of
landscaping provided by other projects along Ocean Street, and it maximizes
potential public views of the ocean.
F. ExernptionsNariances
1. ExemDtions (Section 21.35.130 of the Zoning Ordinance)
Exceptions to the V-R zone standards are permitted if the application of these
standards would result in practical difficulties which would make development
inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Carlsbad Village
Redevelopment Plan, and there are exceptional circumstances or conditions
unique to the property proposed for development which do not generally
apply to other properties having the same standards. Also, granting the
exemption must not have a detrimental affect on the public welfare or other
properties in the project area or contradict the V-R zone standards.
As shown on Attachment “L“, the main facility located on Parcel A complies
with building height standards at all locations except two where it exceeds the
35’ building height standard: 1) the frontage along Carlsbad Boulevard; and
2) the northern building elevation adjacent to the driveway ramp. The highest
point of the existing front facade is 36.5’ and the proposed project is required
to replicate the front facade as mitigation for demolishing a locally significant
historic building. This requirement represents a practical difficulty in
redeveloping this project site.
The 35’ height standard is also exceeded along the northern building elevation
due to the placement of a driveway ramp providing access to subterranean
parking garages. Building height is measured from grade around the
structure, and the driveway ramp adjacent to the building at this location
precludes the creation of the same grade elevation as that proposed along the
LCPA 95-07/RP 94-06/CDA 34-06/CUP 94-10WDP 94-08/
V 94-01/PCD/GPC 95-03 - CARLSBAD BY THE SEA LUTHERAN HOME
AUGUST 16, 1995
southern building elevation where building height complies with the 35’ height
standard.
Parcel A is unique in the area due to its multiple land use .and zoning
designations requiring the imposition of different height, coverage, and
setback standards. The application of three different height standards (35’,
30’ pitched roof, 24’ flat roof) to a parcel which drops in elevation by 13’ from
east to west are exceptional circumstances not generally applicable to other
properties in the vicinity since there are no other properties with multiple
zoning, and most other smaller parcels in the area have relatively flat
topography. The proposed project is terraced down from east to west to
comply with the height standards, however, the structural and functional
requirements of the skilled nursing facility do not permit terracing to occur
at the location where building height is exceeded. The building code for
skilled nursing facilities requires a three foot floor separation not required by
the remainder of the facility (see Attachment I%“). The above described
practical difficulties and unique conditions therefore preclude adherence to
the 35’ standard along Carlsbad Boulevard and Christiansen Way.
Additionally, the additional height at these locations will not detrimentally
impact adjacent projects which are non-residential and separated by roadways.
The granting of height exemptions at the above described locations will not
contradict the standards established in the Village Design Manual since the
35’ maximum building height standard is adhered to at all locations except two
where practical difficulties and/or unique circumstances and conditions exist.
2. Variances (Chapter 21.50 of the Zoning Ordinance)
Variances to the BAOZ building height standard and to the R-3 Zone front
yard setback standard are necessary for the proposed development on Parcel
C, due to exceptional circumstances involving: 1) development and site
constraints which include radically sloping topography; 2) City standards and
policies requiring onsite parking; 3) a seaward stringline setback; 4) additional
street dedication; 5) a 20’ front yard structural setback; and 6) a maximum
building height of 24’ (flat roof) and two stones. The application of these
standards without zoning relief would substantially reduce the development
potential of the parcel; and in fact, numerous height and setback variances
have previously been granted for properties located to the north and south on
Ocean Street. The project is exceptional in that the flat roof of the structure
will function as a landscaped roof deck which is 5’ above grade along Ocean
Street with two small 13’ high storage/elevator structures and a columned and
glass wind screen around its perimeter (see Attachments “B”, I’M’’, and ‘IT).
The roof deck encloses a partially subterranean parking garage which
encroaches 9’ into the 20’ front yard setback along Ocean Street. A
handicapped access ramp and stairway access to the roof deck further

AUGUST 16, 1995
PAGE 15
encroach to within approximately 2’ of the new front property line created
after dedication of a 5’ of right-of-way for curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
The location of garages in front yard setbacks along Ocean Street have
resulted from steep topography which limits automobile access to the blufftop
along Ocean Street, and the need to provide multiple onsite parking spaces
within the blufftop area to satisfy the parking demand for high density
development. Beyond the garage, the structure extends over the bluff to a
three story, 39’ high structure along its western elevation. As shown on
Attachment “M”, the structure is consistent with the building height and two
story requirement for approximately 50% of its footprint, however,
development over the bluff and adherence to the stringline setback
necessitates additional building height around and within the westerly half of
the structure.
The proposed development on Parcel C is less intense and therefore
compatible with surrounding development since the location of a partially
subterranean garage which is only 5’ above grade within the front yard setback
is consistent with existing development to the north and south. Additionally
the 39’ high, three story structure within the westerly half of the lot will be
lower in height than existing adjacent development. The proposed
architectural design, in which only a 5’ high structure with a landscaped roof
deck is visible along Ocean Street, will visually enhance the area while
retaining some visual access to the beach from Ocean Street.
The proposed height and setback variances will not adversely affect the
General Plan since the proposed use is consistent with allowed uses in the
area, and the proposed development is similar in scale and orientation to
surrounding development. The project is consistent with all relevant policies
and action programs specified by the General Plan.
Planning Director approval of an administrative variance permitting reduced
side yard setback is also required for the project. The necessary variance
findings for reduced side yard setbacks can be made; therefore, Planning
Director has approved the Administrative Variance AV 95-05 contingent upon
final approval of the project.
G. Hillside Development Ordinance (Chapter 21.95 of the Zoning Ordinance)
Hillside Development Permits are required for projects proposing development on
all properties with a slope of 15% or greater and an elevation differential greater
than fifteen feet. The intent of the Hillside Ordinance is to preserve the natural
appearance of hillsides by assuring that development density and intensity relates to
the slope of the land and is compatible with hillside preservation through proper
grading and building designs. Although the Hillside Ordinance precludes
development on 40%+ slopes, it provides for the exclusion of slopes which are less

than 15’ in height and less than 4,000 square feet in area which are not a part of the
surrounding generalized slope.
~ Not Applicable II
Parcel C is a vacant, infill, beach-front property which terraces down to the beach
and includes a coastal bluff which slopes radically to the west. This terraced contour
consists of three 40%+ slope areas, each less than 15’ in height. The total area of
these slopes is less than 4,000 square feet. Properties to the north and south have
developed over the 40% bluff so that the surrounding generalized slope has been
altered through grading and building coverage. Structures, decks, and seawalls have
been developed to the toe of the bluff and beyond thereby eliminating preservation
of the surrounding generalized slope.
As required by the Hillside Ordinance, the areas of 40% slope have been identified
(see Exhibit “R”), however, they are excluded from the provisions of the Hillside
Development Ordinance due to their limited nature and impact on surrounding slope
areas.
H. Growth Management (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance)
The proposed project, located in Local Facilities Management Zone 1, consists of the
redevelopment of an existing professional care facility. Its commercial living units
are not considered dwelling units; therefore, growth management standards based
upon population and density are not applicable. The impacts created by the
development on public facilities and compliance with the adopted performance
standards are summarized as follows:

V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff has conducted an environmental impact assessment to determine if the CLH project
could have a potentially significant effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
and the Environmental Protection Ordinance (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
As a result of said review in which potentially significant impacts involving noise generation
and the demolition of a locally significant historical structure were identified; mitigation to
reduce these impacts to insignificant levels was proposed, and a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was issued by the Planning Director on March 6, 1995. The recommended
mitigation measures are based upon an historical resource survey analysis and acoustical
study performed for the project; and include: 1) the replication of the front facade of the
main structure on Parcel A; 2) historical documentation of the main facility prior to
demolition; 3) archaeological mitigation; and, 4) the reduction of noise to existing levels at
property lines prior to occupancy. These mitigation measures have been added to the
project as conditions of approval. With regard to air quality and circulation impacts, the
City’s MEIR found that they are significant and adverse and the Council adopted a
statement of overriding considerations. The project is consistent with the General Plan and
as to those effects, no additional environmental document is required.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration was sent to the State Clearinghouse for State Public
Agency Review and one letter from the Coastal Commission was received. Staff responded
to Coastal Commission comments on June 15, 1995, and as a result of said comments, has
agreed that the project should include a Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) as a
required discretionary approval not previously listed. The project now includes an
application for a LCPA which will exempt Carlsbad by the Sea Lutheran Home from the
Village (Sub-area 5) requirement that the entire ground floor be devoted to visitor serving
commercial uses.
