CASE NAME: 7109 DAFFODIL REMODEL CASE NO: CDP 2017-0015/NCP 2017-0002 (DEV2017-0049) WHEREAS, David and Nancy Deisinger, “Developer/Owner,” has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as Lot 238, as shown on that certain map entitled Carlsbad Tract No 73-39 Spinnaker Hills Unit Three, which map was filed in the office of the Recorder of the County of San Diego, state of California, according to map no 8453, filed in December 29, 1976 (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit as shown on Exhibit(s) “A” – “N” dated August 2, 2017, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning Division, CDP 2017-0015/NCP 2017-0002 – 7109 DAFFODIL REMODEL, as provided in Chapters 21.201.030 and 21.48 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on August 2, 2017, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Coastal Development Permit. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows: A) That the above recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES CDP 2017-0015/NCP 2017-0002 – 7109 DAFFODIL REMODEL, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 7257 PC RESO NO. 7257 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Findings: Coastal Development Permit 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for single-family residential development, the project proposes additions to an existing single-family residence and the development is consistent with the LCP Mello II R-4 land use designation. No agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist onsite. Given the project’s distance from the coastline, the additions to the existing single-family residence will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the coastal shore; therefore, it will not interfere with the public’s right to physical access or water-oriented recreational activities. 3. 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 native 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. Nonconforming Construction Permit 4. The expansion of the residential structure would not result in an adverse impact to the health, safety and welfare of surrounding uses, persons or property in that the proposed additions will not result in an additional structural nonconformity (i.e. no addition or expansion of the nonconforming area of the structure per CMC Section 21.38.050.A), and meet all applicable requirements of the R-1 zone. The additions are appropriately located and the architecture will blend with the existing neighborhood. In addition, the proposed project improvements comply with all applicable standards. Therefore, the additions will not increase the degree of existing nonconformity and will not result in an adverse impact to the surrounding area. 5. The area of expansion shall comply with all current requirements and development standards of the zone (R-1) in which it is located in that the additions comply with front, side and rear yard setback requirements and all other development standards including building height and lot coverage. The existing residence has a two-car garage and the project does not require any additional parking. 6. The expansion/replacement structure shall comply with all current fire protection and building codes and regulations contained in Titles 17 and 18 in that a building permit, issued by the City of Carlsbad, is required for the project and the building plans will be reviewed for consistency with applicable fire protection and building codes prior to issuance. Furthermore, the project will undergo standard building inspection procedures during the construction of the addition. 7. The expansion/replacement would result in a structure that would be considered an improvement to, or complimentary to and/or consistent with the character of the neighborhood in which it is located in that the proposed design will be complementary to the varied character PC RESO NO. 7257 -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 of the area given the bulk, scale and size of the additions. The addition of a second story is compatible with other existing and conforming two-story residences in the area. The project will meet all applicable development standards for the R-1 zone, including height, setbacks, and building coverage. General 8. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 4 and all city public 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. Specifically, A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities. B. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected prior to the issuance of building permit. 9. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the Elements of the city’s General Plan, in that the General Plan Land Use designation for the property is R-4 Residential. The R-4 designation allows for additions/alterations to an existing single-family residence at a density range of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 du/ac at the R-4 GMCP. One dwelling unit would be permitted on this 0.2 acre lot. 10. The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan- Palomar Airport (ALUCP), dated December 1, 2011, in that the project consists of additions to an existing residence that is within the Overflight Notification zone. As a requirement of ALUCP Section 3.6.3, since there is no notice on record, the project has been conditioned to require the applicant to record a notice concerning aircraft noise. 11. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do 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 15301(e)(2) – additions to existing structures that will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet in an area where all public services and facilities are available and the project site is not environmental sensitive of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. 12. The Planning Commission 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.
