AGENDA OF: October 16, 2002 Application complete date: September 10, 2002 Project Planner: Saima Qureshy Project Engineer: David Rick SUBJECT: CDP 02-13 -McELROY RESIDENCE ADDITION -Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the remodeling of a single-family residence within the City's Coastal Zone located at 2440 Buena Vista Circle, within the Local Facilities Management Zone 1. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 5294 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 02-13 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Section 21.201.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the remodeling of an existing single-family home within the City's Coastal Zone requires the processing and approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The CDP application was reviewed for consistency with Local Coastal Program (LCP) policies and implementation. The proposed residence is consistent with the Mello II segment of the City's LCP. There are no unresolved issues. The staff recommended approval with conditions is supported by the analysis as follows. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The project site is a 10,000 square foot infill residential lot which is currently improved with a single story residence, located on Buena Vista Circle, southeast of the Buena Vista lagoon, as shown on the attached location map. The parcel is relatively flat and does not have any vegetation on it. Surrounding properties are improved with one and two story single-family residences. Proposed Residential Construction: The project applicant is proposing to modify an existing 1,522 square foot single-family residence by adding 365 square feet to the existing first floor, adding a new second story of 1,781 square feet, a new 202 square feet of sundeck and a new 604 square foot attached two car garage. The proposed structure will be constructed of wood framing and stucco with a decorative shingle roof. Architectural treatments include varied window shapes, exterior wood elements, accent material of stone and window and door lintels. Impact on Coastal Resources: None. -CDP 02-13 -McELROY RESIDENCE ADDITION October 16, 2002 Page2 IV. ANALYSIS The proposed residence complies with the Neighborhood Architectural Design Guidelines (City Council Policy #44) in that it has been designed with a variety of architectural features i.e. varied fa9ade planes, roof heights and pitches, stone veneer, dormers, sundeck and balconies. The applicant is requesting a minor deviation from Policy 44, as provided in procedural item 1 of the policy in that the project is required to have a single-story building edge with a depth of not less than 3 feet for 40% of the perimeter of the building, but due to structural constraints the applicant was able to achieve only 3 7% of single story edge. In staffs opinion the project is in compliance with the intent and purpose of the policy and the provided 37% single story building edge of the perimeter of the building meets the intent of the Architectural guidelines. The applicant's justification letter is attached to this report. As shown on the Coastal Development Permit Compliance Table below, the proposed develop- ment is in compliance with all applicable regulations. Building permits may be issued subject to the conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 5294.

Lot Coverage 40% 28% Review of Required Coastal Findings 1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies. The project is located in the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment. The project proposes the remodeling of an existing one story single family residence into a two story residence with an attached garage. The subject site is designated for single- family residential development. As discussed below, the project complies with the applicable Local Coastal Program provisions. The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for Residential Low Medium (RLM) density development, which allows 3.2 du/ac. Based on a density of 3.2 du/ac, the lot could accommodate one dwelling unit. The two-story residence is consistent with the surrounding development of one and two- story structures. The two-story residence will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive -CDP 02-13 -McELROY RESIDENCE ADDITION October 16, 2002 Page 3 2. resources located on the property. The proposed residence is not located on an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. No public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site since it is not located between the first public road and the ocean or lagoon, and no public access requirements are conditioned for the project. The residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities. Coastal Overlay Zones. The subject site is located in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone, however, due to its location and the absence of slopes steeper than or equal to 25% inclination and/or native vegetation, additional submittals, standards or requirements do not apply. As designed and conditioned, the project will adhere to the City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased runoff, pollutants and soil erosion. V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from CEQA per the exemptions listed below: Section 15303 of CEQA exemptions (Class 3) exempts new construction or conversion of single-family residences in urbanized areas from environmental review. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the Planning Director upon project approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 5294 (CDP) 2. Location Map 3. Disclosure Form 4.

Box 2046, Cat/$/Jatl, CA 92018 4Sep 02 City of Carlsbad, Planning Department 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 Attention: Ms. Saima Qureshy RE: CDP 02-13, McElroy residence addition Architecture anti Land Planning Tel. 760 729-0SSJ Fax 760 729-0SSJ*77 Reference -Neighborhood Architectural Design Guidelines In the attempt to comply with Design Guideline #3, the offset depth of not less than 3 feet for the perimeter of the building has been applied. To begin with, the proposed building is not a simple "box". The total perimeter of the first floor will be 230.5 If. and 40% of that is 92 If. After compromising the earthquake resisting abilities of the structure by offsetting the entire west perimeter wall of the second floor -again computing the offset from the first floor perimeter, the project provides a total of 86 If. of offset that is equal to 37% of the first floor perimeter. The proposed offsets vary in depth from 11.5 feet, 9.5 feet to 3 feet -using several methods to accomplish the physical changes in the building. Even though the project is 3% short of the 40% requirement, I submit for your consideration that the proposed methods of building articulation do accomplish the intent of the Design Guidelines. The westerly offset is consistent for the entire length of that end of the building (the chimney for the two fireplaces has been removed from that portion of the building). To provide an additional 3% offset from the first to second floor would further negatively impact the structural ability to properly resist potential earthquake forces. Also for your consideration, if the project had been designed to be built to it's legal maximum (to all setbacks) on the first floor and the second floor offset no less than 3 feet on all four sides to meet the Design Guidelines -the total potential mass (volume) could be approximately 50% greater than the proposed project. Two of the proposed setbacks are significantly greater than the distance required by ordinance, both are contiguous with the two story portions of the building, further mitigating the building scale as seen from those points of view. The proposed configuration uses building offsets, decks, balconies, roof level changes and projections of/at openings to provide an appropriate balance between single and two story elements and provide properly scaled mass (volume). The proposed 28% lot coverage which includes the existing detached storage building, is considerably less than the allowable coverage that would be in scale with the lot size. The home is occupied by the McElroy family, considerable thought has been given by the owners to the flow of the layout, functionality of the configuration, existing conditions and potential cost of construction. Hence the proposed design is a response to all of their criteria and is not a market home to be constructed on a bare lot, to be repeated again and again.
