MINOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
NOTICE OF DECISION
RE: CDP 2018-0023 (DEV2017-0244) -WHITE ADU
Ccityof
Carlsbad
The City has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for the
development of a detached 1,200-square foot one-story Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) located at 4810
Kelly Drive (APN: 207-230-19-00).
It is the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 2018-0023 (DEV2017-0244) -WHITE ADU 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 because the project is not
located adjacent to the shore.
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 for residential uses in that the site is designated
R-4 Residential which allows for residential development including a single-family home and an
ADU. The development request is to construct a detached 1,200-square foot ADU on the site.
The proposed one-story ADU 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. No
agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the
property. Furthermore, the proposed ADU is not located in an area of known geologic
instability or flood hazards.

6. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the city's Master
Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and
Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants,
and soil erosion. No steep slopes or riative vegetation is located on the subject property and
the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion,
floods, or liquefaction.
7. That the request for a minor coastal development permit was adequately noticed at least ten (10)
working days before the date of this decision pursuant to Section 21.201.080(B) and (C) of the
Carlsbad Coastal Development Regulations.
8. That the City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303-New Construction or Conversion
of Small Structures of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact
on the environment.
9. The City Planner has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this
