II.INTRODUCTION
The project consists of a Site Development Plan (SDP) and Coastal Development Permit (CDP)
to demolish an existing single family residence and two accessory structures to allow for the
development of a three unit single-family detached residential air-space condominium project on
a .469 gross acre infill site generally located on the north side of Date Avenue and east of
Garfield Street. The project also includes two second dwelling units (SOU) for which minor
Coastal Development Permits will be processed administratively subsequent to the approval of
this SDP and CDP. The project was reviewed for consistency with the General Plan, the
applicable condominium development standards, neighborhood compatibility, and architectural
design. The project was reviewed pursuant to the City's amended Planned Development (PD)
Ordinance (originally approved by the City Council in February, 2007 and subsequently by the
California Coastal Commission in January, 2009). The PD Ordinance was amended to better
enable the development of high quality residential projects that achieve the minimum and
Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) densities of the General Plan Land Use
designations. There are no significant issues outstanding and staff is recommending approval.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Proposed Residential Construction: The applicant is requesting approval for the development of
a three-unit single-family detached residential air-space condominium project, one 2-car attached
garage, two 2-car detached garages and three roof decks on a .469 gross acre site. Two required
SOU parking spaces and one required visitor parking space will be provided onsite. A
decorative paved driveway, providing direct access from Date Avenue to the three buildings, is
proposed. The proposed units range in size from 3,044 square feet to 4,144 square feet. Three
contemporary styles of architecture are proposed, including, "Modern Prairie", "Contemporary
o
SDP 09-03/CDP 08-25 - DATE BLUFFS BEACH HOMES
December 16, 2009
Page 2
Beach Cod", and "Aegean." The building facades will include a variety of different architectural
elements including horizontal hardwood siding, stone columns, deeply recessed windows, roof
decks, balconies, parapet caps and deck fascias. The buildings will include a variety of roof
planes and off-set building projections. Each unit will have a southwest-facing deck ranging in
size from 468 to 498 square feet and staircases providing exterior access. The maximum
building heights of the proposed two-story units range between 28'-8" and 29'-6." The project
includes extensive landscaping with large box trees and a variety of plant materials.
Landscaping will be provided along Date Avenue to enhance the visual appearance of the units
and to create a sense of privacy for the residents in Unit A. The site plan layout proposes Unit
'A' adjacent to Dave Avenue, and Unit 'B' and 'C' are placed side by side, adjacent to the rear
yard property line. Unit 'A' has the attached two-car garage and Unit 'B' and 'C' have the
detached two-car garages. The two proposed second dwelling units are located above the
detached garages in Unit 'B' and 'C'. In addition to individual parking garages and the three
onsite parking spaces, the project will provide decorative turf blocks filled with tan gravel
located along Date Avenue for on-street parking and for Low Impact Design (LID) compliance.
Project Site/Setting: The previously developed, rectangular shaped 0.469-acre site consists of 1
lot and is located on the north side of Date Avenue and east of Garfield Street. The project site
abuts existing single-family residential homes to the north, east and south, and an eight single-
family/two-family residential air-space condominium project to the west. The proposed project
will take access off of Date Avenue.
Topographically, the project site currently has a downward slope of approximately 6 feet from
the west property line (46.3) to the east property line (40.2). The proposed project consists of
three graded pads at 42 feet (Unit C), 45.2 feet (Unit A) and 46.1 feet (Unit B). The proposed
project proposes a total of 20 cubic yards of cut, 920 cubic yards of fill and a total of 900 cubic
yards of import.
Required Permits: A Site Development Plan (SDP), Coastal Development Permit (CDP),
Planned Development Permit (PUD), and two minor CDPs for the two proposed second dwelling
units are required for the proposed project. A Site Development Plan is required for all
residential projects located within the Beach Area Overlay Zone (CMC Section 21.82). A major
Coastal Development Permit is required in that the project is located within the Mello II Local
Coastal Program Segment and Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Carlsbad Municipal
Code (CMC) Section 21.203). A Planned Development Permit is required to allow for a 3 unit
air-space condominium subdivision (CMC Section 21.45); however, because the project includes
four (4) or fewer units, the PUD is considered minor and shall be approved administratively
subsequent to a Planning Commission approval of SDP 09-03 and CDP 08-25. The two minor
CDPs for the second dwelling units will also be processed administratively subsequent to the
approval of the SDP, CDP, and PUD.
Because the infill project is surrounded by single-family residences to the north, east and south,
and an eight (8) single family and two-family residential air-space condominium project to the
west, it qualifies as a CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) Class 32,
Categorical Exemption.

IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations:
A. Residential Medium Density (RM) General Plan Land Use designation;
B. Residential (R-2) Zone (Chapter 21,12 of the Zoning Ordinance), Planned
Development Ordinance (Chapter 21.45 of the Zoning Ordinance); and
Beach Area Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82 of the Zoning Ordinance);
C. City Council Policy No. 66 (Principals for the Development of Livable
Neighborhoods);
D. City Council Policy No. 44 (Neighborhood Architectural Guidelines);
E. Subdivision Map Act (Title 20);
F. Coastal Development Policies and Regulations for the Mello II LCP Segment and
Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203);
G. Qualified Development Overlay Zone ( CMC Chapter 21.06 of the Zoning
Ordinance);
H. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and
I. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance) and
Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan.
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of
the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. General Plan Residential Medium Density (RM) Land Use Designation
The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is Residential Medium (RM) density.
The RM Land Use designation allows for the development of one-family, two-family and
multiple-family residential units within a density range of 4-8 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and
at a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 6 du/ac. The GMCP is used for the purpose
of calculating the City's compliance with Government Code Section 65863.
The site has a net developable acreage of .463 acres. The new 3-unit project has a density of
6.48 du/ac, which is within the RM density range of 4-8 du/ac, but is above the RM GMCP of 6
du/ac. At the GMCP of 6 du/ac, 2.78 units would be permitted on the site, although the project
density exceeds the GMCP of 6 du/ac by .48 dwelling units/acre the General Plan Land Use
Element allows the City to approve residential development at a density that exceeds the GMCP
provided the proposed residential development complies with certain findings as discussed
below.
To exceed the GMCP density and withdraw a fraction of a dwelling unit from the City's "Excess
Dwelling Unit Bank" the project must comply with City Council Policy No. 43 (Proposition E
"Excess Dwelling" Unit Bank) which sets the criteria for the allocation of excess dwelling units.
City Council Policy 43 establishes a list of qualifying residential projects that are eligible for
allocation of excess units, as long as the unit allocation does not exceed the Growth Management
maximum dwelling unit cap of the applicable quadrant of the City. The northwest quadrant
currently has approximately 12,797 existing dwelling units with an additional capacity of 2,573
dwelling units to reach the quadrant dwelling cap. At the GMCP of 6 du/ac the number of units
SDP 09-03/CDP 08-25 - DATE BLUFFS BEACH HOMES
December 16,2009
Page 4
allowed on the property would be 2.78 dwelling units. Pursuant to City Council Policy No. 43, if
the GMCP density for the property results in a unit yield that includes a fractional unit of .5 or
greater, the next whole unit may be granted provided the maximum density of the applicable
General Land Use designation is not exceeded. Rounding up to the next whole unit, 3 units,
results in .22 DUs to be withdrawn from the City's Excess Dwelling Unit Bank.
Also, to exceed the GMCP density, the project must be consistent with the following required
General Plan findings: 1) that the project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for
the density in excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City's public
facilities plans will not be adversely impacted; 2) that there have been sufficient developments
approved in the quadrant at densities below the control point so that the approval will not result
in exceeding the quadrant limit; and, 3) all necessary public facilities required by the City's
Growth Management Program will be constructed, or are guaranteed to be constructed,
concurrently with the need for them created by this development and in compliance with the
adopted City standards.
The above required findings can be made to approve the project's density above the GMCP in
that: 1) all necessary public facilities have been constructed, or are conditioned to be constructed,
repaired, or replaced to accommodate the increased density; 2) there have been sufficient
developments approved in the northwest quadrant below the control point so that approval of the
project will not cause the quadrant cap to be exceeded and a fraction of a dwelling unit (.22 DUs)
can be withdrawn from the dwelling unit bank; and, 3) the project is conditioned to pay the
appropriate fees or construct facility improvements to comply with City's Growth Management
Program, and the City's public facilities standards.
The project complies with the Elements of the General Plan as outlined in Table A below:

B. Two-Family Residential Zone (R-2) (Chapter 21.12 of the Zoning Ordinance);
Planned Development Ordinance (PD) (Chapter 21.45 of the Zoning Ordinance)
and Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ) (Chapter 21.82 of the Zoning Ordinance).
The project is required to comply with all applicable use and development standards of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the Two-Family Residential Zone (CMC Chapter
21.12), the Planned Development Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.45) and the Beach Area Overlay
Zone (CMC Chapter 21.82).
The R-2 Zone allows for the development of one-family, two-family and multi-family residential
housing and second dwelling units, and the Planned Development Ordinance allows for the
development of air-space condominiums in the R-2 zone. The PD Ordinance provides the
development standards for a 3-unit residential airspace condominium (planned development)
project. The BAOZ is applicable to all residential developments in the Beach Area Overlay zone
and is intended to supplement the underlying zoning by providing additional development
regulations to: 1) ensure that proposed development is compatible with existing surrounding
uses; 2) provide adequate parking for residential developments; 3) ensure that public facilities
exist to serve the beach area; and, 4) protect the unique mix of residential development and
aesthetic quality of the area. The building height standard of the BAOZ supersedes the maximum
building height standard of the PD Ordinance.

Building Facades, Front Entries, Porches
Facades create interest and character and should be
varied and articulated to provide visual interest to
pedestrians. Clearly identifiable front doors and porches
enhance the street scene and create opportunities for
greater social interaction within the neighborhood.
Building entries and windows should face the street.
Front porches, bay windows, courtyards and balconies
are encouraged.
The project proposes building
fa9ades with interest and character
by using a variety of roof heights
and off-set building projections,
and building materials such as
horizontal hardwood siding,
decorative stone walls and
columns, deeply recessed
windows, and roof deck fascias.
The project provides clearly
identifiable windows and provides
porches and balconies designed
with decorative guardrails (all
units). In addition to the
decorative features listed above,
Unit A provides a large second
story deck and first floor covered
patio facing Date Avenue to
further enhance the street scene
and create opportunities for
greater social interaction within
the neighborhood.
Garages
Homes should be designed to feature the residence as the
prominent part of the structure in relation to the street. A
variety of garage configurations should be used to
improve the street scene. This may include tandem
garages, side-loaded garages, front-loaded garages,
alley-loaded garages and recessed garages.
The project has been designed to
feature Unit 'A' residence as the
prominent structure in relation to
the street to the extent possible.
The street scene is enhanced due
to the absence of garage doors and
parking stalls as they are located
within the center of the lot not

Street Design
An interconnected, modified (grid) street pattern should
be incorporated into project designs when there are no
topographic or environmental constraints.
Interconnected streets provide pedestrians and
automobiles many alternative routes to follow, disperse
traffic and reduce the volume of cars on any one street in
the neighborhood. Streets should be designed to provide
both vehicular and pedestrian connectivity by
minimizing the use of cul-de-sacs.
The street network should also be designed to create a
safer, more comfortable pedestrian and bicycling
environment. Local residential streets should have travel
and parking lanes, be sufficiently narrow to slow traffic,
provide adequate access for emergency and service
vehicles and emergency evacuation routes for residents
and include parkways with trees to form a pleasing
canopy over the street. Local residential streets are the
public open space in which children often play and
around which neighborhoods interact. Within this
context, vehicular movement should be additionally
influenced through the use of City-accepted designs for
traffic calming measures.
The proposed project site does not
include any topographic or
environmental constraints. The
condominium project provides a
shared driveway which connects
to Date Avenue. There are
sidewalks within the project site
that will connect to the future
improved sidewalk along Date
Avenue.
This project does not provide any
new streets. The project will
include landscaping along Date
Avenue to create a more
pedestrian-friendly streetscape.
Parkways
Street trees should be planted in the parkways along all
streets. Tree species should be selected to create a unified
image for the street, provide an effective canopy, avoid
sidewalk damage and minimize water consumption.
Date Avenue will be planted with
landscaping which includes fully
grown canopy trees.
Pedestrian Walkways
Pedestrian walkways should be located along or visible
from all streets. Walkways (sidewalks or trails) should
provide clear, comfortable and direct access to
neighborhood schools, parks/plazas and transit stops.
Primary pedestrian routes should be bordered by
residential fronts, parks or plazas. Where street
connections are not feasible (at the end of cul-de-sacs),
pedestrian paths should also be provided.
A pedestrian walkway with direct
access to the units has been
provided along the drive aisle.
Drive aisles are constructed out of
decorative stamped pavers to create
a pedestrian-friendly environment.

Centralized Community Recreation Areas
Park or plazas, which serve as neighborhood meeting
places and as recreational activity centers should be
incorporated into all planned unit developments. As
frequently as possible, these parks/plazas should be
designed for both active and passive uses for residents of
all ages and should be centrally located within the project.
Parks and plazas should be not be sited on residual
parcels, used as buffers from surrounding developments
or to separate buildings from streets.
The project proposes only 3 units
therefore a centralized community
recreation area is not required.
However, the project site is located
nearby existing recreational areas
including north of Agua Hedionda
Lagoon (approx. 450 ft.) and east of
the Carlsbad State Beach (approx.
1260 feet).
D. City Council Policy No. 44 (Neighborhood Architectural Design Guidelines)

E. Subdivision Map Act
The project includes three (3) detached single-family residential airspace condominium units and
is therefore subject to the regulations of Chapter 20.28 of the Subdivision Ordinance. These
subdivision regulations require the project to include required street dedications and
improvements (streets, sewer, water, and drainage) to serve the proposed subdivision. The
Engineering Department has reviewed a proposed tentative parcel map (MS 08-05) being
processed concurrently with SDP 09-03 and CDP 08-25, and has concluded that the subdivision,
as conditioned, complies with all of the applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and
the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Date Avenue is a publicly dedicated roadway and the project
has been conditioned for the property owner to enter into a Neighborhood Improvement
Agreement with the City for the future public improvement of Date Avenue along the
subdivision frontage for a half street width of 28-feet. Public improvements shall include but are
not limited to paving, base, sidewalk, curbs and gutters, medians, grading, clearing and grubbing,
sewer, water and fire hydrants, street lights and pedestrian sidewalk ramp. Additionally, the
applicant proposes a 3-foot street dedication on the frontage to allow for the 28' future half-
width street improvements required (currently 25' street width is provided). General, utility and
access easements will be dedicated to allow for the construction of project drainage, sewer, and
water facilities of the final map.
No standards variances are needed to approve the project. Given the above, the proposed
subdivision will provide all necessary facilities and improvements without producing land
conflicts; therefore, the project is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance.
F. Coastal Development Policies and Regulations for the Mello II LCP Segment and
Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203)
1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies.
The project site is located within the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment. As discussed
below, the project complies with all applicable LCP provisions.
The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for RM (Residential Medium) density
development. The project's consistency with the RM Land Use designation is analyzed in
Section A above. The two-story condominiums will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen
from public lands or the public right of way or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal
zone. The three two-story residences with rooftop decks and two-car garages are consistent with
the surrounding development of single family homes to the north, east and south and one-
family/two-family condominium projects to the west.
No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, and the property is not within the Coastal
Agricultural Overlay Zone that would require mitigation for conversion to urban uses. There are
no sensitive coastal resources within the pre-graded property. The residence is not located in an
area of known geologic instability or flood hazard.
SDP 09-03/CDP 08-25 - DATE BLUFFS BEACH HOMES
December 16, 2009
Page 22
2.Conformance with public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act.
No public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site and no
public access requirements are conditioned for the project since it is not located between the first
public road and the ocean. The residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented
recreation activities.
3. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone.
The subject site is located in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone; however, the
property does not include slopes steeper than or equal to 25% inclination and/or native
vegetation. In addition, the site is not located in an area prone to landslides or susceptible to
accelerated erosion, flood or liquefaction. The project will require a grading permit and has been
conditioned to comply with all grading and landscaping requirements. Construction of the
project will adhere to the City's Master Drainage Plan and Storm Water Ordinance, Grading
Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban
Runoff Management Program to avoid increased urban runoff pollutants and soil erosion.
G. Qualified Development Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.06)
Pursuant to the Beach Area Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.82.040), a Site Development Plan is
required to be processed for all Planned Development projects that include four or fewer units,
pursuant to Chapter 21.06, the Qualified Development Overlay Zone, of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code. As demonstrated below, all of the required SDP findings can be made.
TABLE E- SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS
FINDING PROJECT CONSISTENCY
That the requested use is properly
related to the site, surroundings,
and environmental settings; it is
consistent with the various
elements and objectives of the
General Plan; it will not be
detrimental to existing uses or to
uses specifically permitted in the
area in which the proposed use is
to be located; and it will not
adversely impact the site,
surroundings, or traffic circulation.
The proposed 3-unit detached single-family air-space
condominium project is consistent with the various goals
and objectives of the General Plan as demonstrated in
Table A above. The project will not be detrimental to
existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in
which the proposed use is located in that, the proposed use
is a use permitted within the existing R-2 zone and the
proposed 3-unit detached single-family condominium
project is compatible with the single-family homes to the
north, east and south and single-family/two-family
condominium project to the west. The project will not
adversely impact the site, surroundings, or traffic
circulation in that the project complies with all applicable
development standards and is adequately parked onsite and
will only generate 30 Average Daily Trips (APT).

TABLE E- SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS CONTINUED
FINDING PROJECT CONSISTENCY
That the site for the intended use is
adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use.
The subject site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed use in that the project complies
with all of the development standards of the Planned
Development Ordinance and the Beach Area Overlay Zone
as demonstrated in Table B above. The proposed height is
below the 30-foot height limitation established by the
Beach Area Overlay Zone for roof pitches greater than or
equal to 3:12, and 24 feet in height for roof pitches less
than 3:12 (flat roofs).
That all yards, setbacks, walls,
fences, landscaping, and other
features necessary to adjust the
requested use to existing or
permitted future uses in the
neighborhood will be provided and
maintained.
The proposed 3-unit detached single-family air-space
condominium project has been designed in compliance
with the development and design standards of the Planned
Development Ordinance and Beach Area Overlay Zone of
the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The project is compatible
with existing permitted uses. Unit A is setback 10 feet
from the proposed 3 foot street dedication along Date
Avenue. In addition, the project will be fully landscaped
along the perimeter of the project site.
That the street system serving the
proposed use is adequate to
properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use.
The project will take access off of Date Avenue. The
existing street system will be adequate to handle the 30
Average Daily Trips generated by the proposed three-unit
detached single-family airspace condominium project. On-
site circulation consists of a private drive aisle to provide
direct access to the three two-car garages and 3 exterior
parking spaces. All public facilities including curb, gutter,
and sidewalk are conditioned to be built or improved along
Date Avenue.
H. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85)
The proposed project involves the creation of three detached single-family air-space
condominium units through a minor subdivision (MS 08-05), therefore, has been conditioned to
pay the required inclusionary housing in-lieu fee, per market rate unit as specified in the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Chapter 21.85 or the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance) prior to
building permit issuance.
I. Growth Management Regulations and Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan.
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, and its compliance
with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in the Table F below.
