SECOND DWELLING - Request to develop an attached 418 square foot
second dwelling unit on Lot 4 of CT 97-23 in the R-I zone and Local
Facilities Management Zone 1.
Dear Michael,
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative
Second Dwelling Unit Permit for an attached 418 square foot second dwelling unit on
Lot 4 of CT 97-23. 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 proposed 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 belongs to a class of
projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found does 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 (single family residence not in conjunction with the building
of two or more such units) 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 integrated into the 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.
That this project could have a potentially significant negative cumulative traffic
impact on the Palornar 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.
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.
