SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. SDU 00-20 - HERNANDEZ SECOND
DWELLING UNIT - Request to develop a detached 640 square foot
second dwelling unit at 1198 Pine Avenue, A.P.N. 205-020-33-00 in the
RD-M-Q zone and Local Facilities Management Zone 1.
Dear Mr. Carlin:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative
Second Dwelling Unit Permit for a detached 640 square foot second dwelling unit at
1198 Pine Avenue. After careful consideration of this request including written and
verbal comments and objections from surrounding property owners, if any, the Planning
Director has determined that the findings required for granting an Administrative Permit
for a second dwelling unit can be made and, therefore, APPROVES this request based
on the following findings and conditions:
Findinrrs
1. That the detached second dwelling unit has a separate entrance, does not
exceed 640 square feet, is architecturally compatible with the proposed primary
unit, retains the appearance of a single-family dwelling, and complies with all of
the applicable development standards of the RD-M-Q zone.
2. That the Planning Director has determined 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
Section 15303 (One single family residence or a second dwelling unit in a
residential zone) of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination,
the Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of
the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
3. That the project is consistent with Objective 3.7 of the Housing Element of the
General Plan in that second dwelling units provide a housing type alternative that
is affordable to lower income households.
4. That pursuant to Attachment “A”:

A. The owner/applicant agrees to rent the second dwelling unit at a monthly
rental rate which shall not exceed an amount equal to 30% of the gross
monthly income of a low-income household, adjusted for household size,
at 80% of the San Diego County median income.
B. The owner/applicant declares that this second dwelling unit is not in conflict with the existing conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&Rs)
applicable to the title of the subject property.
C. The owner agrees to continually occupy either the primary dwelling unit or
the second dwelling unit.
That since the second dwelling unit has been designed to be architecturally
compatible with the primary unit, is consistent with all of the applicable
development standards of the RD-M-Q zone and will generate little Average
Daily Traffic, it will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is
located.

development at the density proposed.

since they are designated for residential development on the General Plan.

exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to
the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough
proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
