A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Item No.
P.C. AGENDA OF: MARCH 5, 1997
Application complete date: February 4, 1997
Project Planner: Van Lynch
Project Engineer: Mike Shirey
SUBJECT: PCD 97-01 - KNOWLES AVENUE MOVE-ON - Request for the relocation of
a 1204 square foot, single story house onto a vacant lot located on the North side
of Knowles Av. between Gregory Dr. and Elmwood St. in Local Facilities
Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4069
APPROVING PCD 97-01, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The Building Ordinance of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC 18.24.040) requires that before a
structure is moved into the city, or relocated within the city, the Community Development
Director shall not issue a permit therefor until such time as the Planning Commission shall have
approved such moving of a structure.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant, Russell Bennett, is requesting the approval of a house relocation to an 8,085
square foot lot located on the North side of Knowles Ave. between Gregory Dr. and Elmwood
St. The 1204 square foot single story home contains three bedrooms, two baths, dining and
living rooms, kitchen and two car garage. The applicant proposes to attach an additional single
car garage of 352 square feet to the two car garage and also add a covered entry porch of 35
square feet. The additional garage space and porch will be reviewed and approved by building
permit issuance and is not a part of this review. Total building area will be 2012 square feet.
The exterior of the home has a stucco finish and asphalt shingle roofing.
IV. ANALYSIS
The lot for the proposed relocated home is zoned R-1-7500, Single Family Residential. As
shown on exhibits "A" and "B", dated, March 5, 1997, the proposed relocated structure meets all
the requirements of the R-l zone. The home will be placed to conform to the required building
setbacks and the lot coverage will be 18.5%, which is below the 40% allowed. The building
height for the single story home is 15 feet, which is below the maximum building height of 30

feet. The roof pitch of the home is 4:12, which is steeper than the minimum pitch of 3:12, and
the building width of 28 feet exceeds the minimum 20 foot building width required by code.
Since the proposed relocated structure and proposed improvements would meet all requirements
of the underlying zone, staff is recommending approval of PCD 97-01.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that the placement of a single family residence in an
urbanized area is exempt from environmental review per Section 15303(a) of the State of
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. A Notice of Exemption will be processed
upon final project determination.
