A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Permit
Item No.
Application complete date: May 4, 2017
P.C. AGENDA OF: June 21, 2017 Project Planner: Paul Dan
Project Engineer: Steve Bobbett
SUBJECT: CDP 2017-0011 (DEV 2017-0038) – WILLIAMSON RESIDENCE – Request for approval of a
Coastal Development Permit to allow for the addition of 604 square feet of habitable
space and a 426 square feet of covered patios to an existing single-family residence within
the Mello II Segment of the City’s Local Coastal Program located at 4886 Hillside Drive
within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The project site not within the appealable
area of the California Coastal Commission. 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(a) and (e)(1) interior and exterior alterations and additions to an existing
structures of the state CEQA Guidelines.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7253 APPROVING Coastal
Development Permit CDP 2017-0011 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Site/Setting: The 0.24 acre (10,600 square feet) project site is located at 4886 Hillside Drive as
shown on the attached location map. The lot is developed with a single-family residence and associated
hardscape and landscape improvements. The topography relief ranges from generally flat in the front
yard to a gentle rise toward the rear property line, causing drainage to flow toward Hillside Drive. The
neighborhood is characterized by one- and two-story single-family residences, with two car garages. Table
“A” below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and
surrounding properties.

South R-4 Residential R-1-8000 Single-family residence
East R-4 Residential R-1-8000 Single-family residence
West R-4 Residential R-1-8000 Single-family residence
Proposed Residential Construction: The project consists of an addition of 604 square feet of new habitable
space to the existing 1,105 square foot residence, and 426 square feet of covered patios in the rear yard.
Exterior alterations include removal of the fireplace in the front of the residence, new windows

throughout, replacement of the front door, and the addition of board and batten siding on the front
facade of the residence. The proposed color scheme would match the existing beige with cream-tone
accent. In the rear yard a dilapidated pergola would be removed and replaced by the proposed addition.
The gable-roofed additions would be approximately 13 feet in height, well under the height requirement
in the One-Family Residential zone. The increased space would create a new family room, remodeled
kitchen, and an enlarged master bedroom suite. No landscaping is proposed; however, the applicant is
conditioned to replace a removed street tree in the public right-of-way per the Parks and Recreation
Department. The project does not require infrastructure improvements since adequate curb, gutter, and
public right-of-way already exist.
Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 0 cubic yards (cy) of cut, and 0 cy of fill. However,
supplemental grading plans are required for the precise grading associated with this project.
III. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
A. R-4 Residential General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. One-Family Residential (R-1-8000) Zone (CMC Section 21.10);
C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Costal Program (CMC
Section 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Section 21.203);
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) – Airport Overflight
Notification Area;
E. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and
F. Growth Management (CMC Chapter 21.90).
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency
with the applicable city regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of the above
regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. R-4 General Plan Land Use Designation
The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of R-4, which allows the development of one-
family dwellings at a density of 0-4 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management Control Point
(GMCP) of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. The project has net acreage of 0.24 and a density of 4.2 dwelling
units per acre which is above the GMCP and the range of the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation.
However, one single-family residence is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that existed as of
October 28, 2004, pursuant to General Plan Residential Land Use Policy 2-P.7. Since a single-family
dwelling already exists on the property, and the subject lot was legally created prior to October 28, 2004,
by map no. 6165, the project is consistent with the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation.
B. R-1-8000 Residential Zone (CMC Section 21.10)
The project is required to comply with all applicable regulations and development standards of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the One-Family Residential (R-1-8000) zone. The proposed
project meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of the R-1-8000 zone (Shown in Table B).

C. Conformance with the Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local
Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter
21.203)
The project site is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and is not within in
the appeals jurisdiction. The site is also located within and subject to the Coastal Protection Resource
Overlay Zone. The project’s compliance with each of these programs and ordinances is discussed below:
1. Mello II Segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies
The subject site has an LCP Land Use Plan designation of R-4 Residential, which allows for a density of 0
to 4 du/acre and 3.2 du/acre at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP). At the R-4 GMCP, 0.8
dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.24 acre (net developable) property. However, one single-
family dwelling is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that existed as of October 28, 2004 pursuant
to General Plan Residential Land Use Policy 2-P.7. The subject lot was legally created prior to October 28,
2004; therefore, the existing single-family residence and proposed additions are consistent with the R-4
LCP Land Use Plan designation.
The project consists of additions to an existing single-family residence that include 604 square feet of
habitable space and 426 square feet of covered patios in an area designated for residential development.
The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding development of one- and two-story single-family
residences. The additions to the existing 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 previously developed site, nor are there any sensitive
resources located on the developable portion of the site. The proposed single-family residence is not
located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. Since the site does not have frontage
along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject
site. Furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
2. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC
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 run-off, pollutants and soil erosion. The subject property does
not include steep slopes (equal to or greater than 25 percent gradient) or native vegetation.

D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) – Airport Overflight Notification
Area
The project site is located within the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP),
more specifically the Airport Overflight Notification Area. ALUCP Section 2.2.29 – Overflight Notification
is designed to ensure that prospective buyers near an airport, particularly residential properties, are
informed about the airport’s potential impact on the property. This notification does not restrict the
height of structures, it simply discloses the existing conditions that may affect the property. ALUC Section
3.6.3 requires an overflight notification to be recorded on residential development. Since a notice has
not been previously recorded, the applicant is conditioned to do so.
E. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85)
Pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85.030.D.1, a project may be exempt from the inclusionary housing
requirement if an existing residence is altered, improved, restored, repaired, expanded, or extended,
provided that the number of units is not increased. Since there will not be an increase in the number of
units on the property, the project will be exempt from the inclusionary housing requirement.
E. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the Northwest Quadrant of
the city. No impacts are associated with the project as the project consists of a remodel and additions to
an existing residence and no new impacts will be generated.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from CEQA per the exemptions listed below:
(1) Section 15301(a) and (e)(1) of CEQA exemptions (Class 3) exempts interior and exterior
alterations, and additions to an existing structure that will not result in an increase of 50
percent of the existing floor area.
A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon project approval.
