APN: 206-1 80-49
Dear Brooks,
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Second
Dwelling Unit Permit for an detached 580 square foot second dwelling unit at 4403 Highland
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 attached 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-1-15,000 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.
B. The owner/applicant declares that this second dwelling unit is not in conflict with
0 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 is consistent with all of the applicable development
standards of the R-1 : 15,000 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.
The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School
District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
That all necessary public improvements have been provided.
That the ownerlapplicant 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 Pian 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.
That this project could have a potentially significant negative cumulative traffic
impact on the Palomar Airport Road/ El Camino Real intersection. However, this
project has been conditioned to pay its fair share of the “short-term
improvements”, thereby guaranteeing implementation of a mitigation measure
that reduces the potential impact to a level of insignificance.
