Dear Mr. McDermed: The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Permit to develop a detached 498.75 square foot second dwelling unit at 3603 Santa Clara Way. 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. Findinas: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Pursuant to Attachment 'A", the owner agrees to continually occupy either the primary dwelling unit or second dwelling unit. 'Owner" shall include a lessee if the leasehold includes both the primary dwelling and the second dwelling unit. The second dwelling unit is detached from the primary dwelling unit and located on the same lot as the primary dwelling unit. The second dwelling unit complies with all development standards applicable to the R-A Zone. Side yard setbacks are approved per Section 21.08.040(a)(2) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The second dwelling unit has a maximum height of 12 feet above finished grade. The second dwelling unit provides one additional paved off-street parking space in the front yard setback. The second dwelling unit is architecturally compatible with the primary dwelling unit and retains the appearance of a single family dwelling unit along Santa Clara Way. The total floor area of the second dwelling unit does not exceed 640 square feet. Pursuant to Attachment 'A", the 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. 2075 Las Palmas Drive - Carlsbad, California 92009-1 576 - (61 9) 438-1 161 @ + SDU 95-03 - McDERMED SECOND DWELLING UNIT AUGUST 8, 1995 PAGE 2 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. Pursuant to Attachment "A', the applicant declares that this second dwelling unit is not in conflict with the existing conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&R's) applicable to the title of the subject property. Since the second dwelling unit complies with all of the applicable development standards of the R-A Zone, has been designed to appear as a single family residence when viewed from Santa Clara Way, and should generate very little additional 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. The second dwelling unit has a separate entrance. 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. The Planning Director has, by inclusion of an appropriate condition to this project, ensured building permits will not be issued for the project unless the City Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the Planning Director is satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for the project. School fees will be paid to ensure the availability of school facilities in the Carlsbad Unified School District. The applicant has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee will enable the Planning Director to find that public facilities will be available concurrent with need as required by the General Plan. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding properties are designated for residential development on the General Plan. The applicant is by condition, required to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. This project is consistent with the Crty's Growth Management Ordinance as it has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 2.
