AGENDA OF: December 6, 2017 Project Planner: Chris Sexton Project Engineer: Kyrenne Chua SUBJECT: CDP 2017-0030 (DEV2017-0095) – BAER ADDITION AND REMODEL – Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the addition of 1,897 square feet of habitable space to an existing single-family residence and 301 square feet to an existing attached garage within the Mello II Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program located at 3976 Jefferson Street within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The project site is 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(e)(2), additions to an existing single family residence, of the state CEQA Guidelines. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7275 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 2017-0030 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The 0.14 acre (6,098 square feet) project site is located at 3976 Jefferson Street as shown on the attached location map. The lot is developed with a one-story, single-family residence with associated hardscape and landscape improvements, and the topography of the site is relatively flat. Table “A” below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and surrounding properties.

The additions include a 1,897 square foot second story to the existing 1,116 square foot single-family home and 301 square foot addition to the garage. The second floor addition consists of a master bedroom and master bathroom, a great room, a study and a bedroom with its own living room. The additions are proposed to match the style and materials of the existing home. 1 CDP2017-0030 (DEV2017-0095) – BAER ADDITION AND REMODEL December 6, 2017 Page 2 Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 0 cubic yards (cy) of cut and 0 cy of fill. A grading permit will not be required for this project. III. ANALYSIS The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements: A. R-4 Residential General Plan Designation; B. One-Family Residential (R-1) Zone (CMC Section 21.10); C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Section 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Section 21.203); D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and E. 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 a net acreage of 0.14 and a density of 7.1 dwelling units per acre, which is above the GMCP and above 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, the project is consistent with the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation. B. R-1 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) zone. The proposed project meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of the R-1 zone (Shown in Table B below).

Conformance with the Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203) The project site is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and is not in the appeal jurisdiction. The site is also located within and subject to the Coastal Resource Protection 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 a Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan designation of R-4 Residential, which allows for a density of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and 3.2 du/acre at the (GMCP). At the R-4 GMCP, 0.4 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.14 acre (net developable) property. 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. 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 1,897 square foot second story addition to an existing home and a 301 square foot first floor garage addition in an area designated for residential development. The proposed additions are compatible with the surrounding development of one- and two-story single-family structures. The two-story residence will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor 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 site. The existing home and proposed additions are 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. 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 is 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.
