TITLE: ZONE CODE AMENDMENT REGULATING
GARAGES IN THE R-1 ZONE.

CITY ATTY-
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Both the Land Use Planninq staff and Planninq Commission
recommend that this application be APPROVED and that the City
Council introduce Ordinance No. ?7qa .
ITEM EXPLANATION
This item is an amendment to the zoning ordinance that would
remove the limitation on the number of cars a private garage
could accommodate in the R-1 zone. Presently, the R-1 zone
permits private garages that accommodate no more than three cars.
Carlsbad has many R-1 lots which could accommodate private
garages containing more than three cars.
The amendment would allow property owners to erect a structure to
accommodate an unspecified number of vehicles if the following
criteria can be met:
1) All setbacks, lot coverage and height restriction
2) All vehicles must be solely for the use of the occupant
3) The garage must be compatible with the surrounding
requirements are adhered to;
of the residence: and
neighborhood.
The Planning Commission found that this amendment was consistent
with the stated intent of the general plan to protect the
public's welfare since it will increase the likelihood that extra
vehicles on an R-1 lot will be stored in a garage instead of in a more visible location on the property.
Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues
on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project
will not cause any significant environmental impacts and,
therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated September 18,
1984, which was approved by the Planning Commission on October
24, 1984. A copy of the environmental documents is on file in the Land Use Planning Office.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not create any fiscal impacts to the
city.

STAFF REPORT 8
DATE : October 2'4, 1984
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Land Use Planning Office
SUBJECT: ZCA-176 - CITY OF CARLSBAD - A zone code amendment regulatinq garaqes in the R-1 zone.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution
No. 2374 recommending APPROVAL of ZCA-176 to the City Council,
based on the findings contained therein.
11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This item is an amendment to the zoning ordinance to modify ,the
regulations regarding private garages in the R-1 zone. Specifically, this amendment would remove the limitation on the number of cars a private garage could accommodate.
111. ANALY S IS
Discussion
This amendment was initiated as a result of complaints from home builders in the City who wanted to erect private garages for more than three vehicles and were not allowed to do so by the City's zoning regulations. Presently, the R-1 zone permits "accessory buildings and structures, including private garaqes to accommodate not more than three cars."
Carlsbad has many R-1 lots that could accommodate both a large
home and a 3-plus car garage. Staff believes the present regulations are denying these homeowners a property right to fully utilize their land. This amendment would allow property owners the right to erect a structure to accommodate an unspecified number of vehicles as long as all setbacks, lot coverage, and height restrictions were met. Also, the vehicles must be solely for the use of the occupant of the residence and the garage must be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Staff believes this amendment is also consistent with the stated intent of the general plan to protect the public's health, safety and welfare. It will further enhance the residential character of a neighborhood by increasing the liklihood that extra vehicles will be maintained in a garage instead of in more visible locations on the lot.
5'
This amendment was initiated at the request of a property owner
who would like to have a four-car garage in La Costa. Staff
presented this request to the Planning Commission as an information item and the Commission directed staff to prepare
this zone code amendment.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that the project
will not have a significant impact on the environment, and,
therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on September 18,
1984.
