APN: 1 56-2 1 2-1 7
Dear Mr. O’Gara:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative
Second Dwelling Unit Permit for a detached 429 square foot second dwelling unit at
3204 James Drive. 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. That the detached second dwelling unit has a separate entrance, does not
exceed 640 square feet, is architecturally compatible with the primary unit,
retains the appearance of a single-family dwelling, and complies with all of the
applicable development standards of the R-I zone.
2. That the Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section
15303 of the state CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant
impact on the environment.
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.

conflict with the existing conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&Rs)
applicable to the title of the subject property.

the second dwelling unit.

That since the second dwelling is consistent with all of the applicable
development standards of the R-I 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 school fees will be paid to ensure the availability of school facilities in the
Carlsbad Unified School District.
That all necessary public improvements have been provided.
That the owner/applicant is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition
to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and the 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.
That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses
since they are designated for residential development on the General Plan.
That the ownerlapplicant is by condition required to pay any increase in public
facilities fees, 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.
That this project is consistent with the City’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 1.
