SUBJECT ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. SDU 01-35 - DANNA SECOND DWELLING
UNIT - Request to develop a detached 627 square foot second dwelling Unit
located at 1270 Oak Avenue, in the R-1 zone and Local Facilities Management
Zone 1.
Dear Brooks:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an administrative Second
Dwelling Unit Permit for a detached 627 square foot second dwelling unit located at 1270 Oak
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:
Findinus
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 R-1 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. Second dwelling units are not required to be rented. However, if rented, 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
1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 (760) 602-4600 0 FAX (760) 602-8559 www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us @

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 proposed primary unit which is consistent with all of the applicable development
standards of the R-1 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.
That the second dwelling unit is provided with an on-site parking space.
That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the
site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the
density proposed.
That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since they
are designated for residential development on the General Plan.
The Planning Director has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the 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.
The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities, libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
B. Park-in-lieu fees are required by the Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter
20.44, and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
C. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to issuance of building permit.
