MINOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
NOTICE OF DECISION
RE: CDP 16-32 (DEV2016-0047}-148 TAMARACK AVENUE
C_cityof
Carlsbad
The City has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for the
development of a 700 square foot accessory dwelling unit over a detached three-car garage located at
148 Tamarack Avenue.
It is the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 16-32, is consistent with the City's applicable
Coastal Development Regulations (Chapters 21.201-21.205) and with all other applicable City ordinances
and policies. The City Planner, therefore, APPROVES this request based upon the following:
1. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000.
2. That the proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a Minor Coastal
Development Permit.
3. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of
Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that no opportunities for coastal access are available from the
subject site, nor are public recreation areas required of the project as the property is not located
adjacent to the shore; and therefore, will not interfere with the public's right to physical access
or water-oriented recreational activities.
4. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the location
of the property is not immediately adjacent to any body of water and the lot is already disturbed
and developed with a single-family home.
5. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and
all applicable policies in that the site Is designated Residential Density-Multiple (RD·M} allowing
for single-family residential development and an accessory dwelling unit. The site is already
disturbed and developed with one single-family home. Development of the accessory dwelling
unit will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way,
nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone given the project's distance from
the coastline and location on Tamarack Avenue. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site,
nor are there any sensitive biological resources located on the property. Furthermore, the
proposed accessory dwelling unit is not in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards.

working days before the date of this decision pursuant to Section 21.201.0S0(B) and (C) of the
Carlsbad Coastal Development Regulations.

will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment.
