AGENDA OF: July 18, 2018 Project Planner: Shannon Harker Project Engineer: Kyrenne Chua SUBJECT: CDP 2018‐0017 (DEV2018‐0029) – JONES RESIDENCE – Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit for the addition of 1,766 square feet to an existing single‐family residence located at 390 Chinquapin Avenue within the Mello II Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The project site is 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), Existing Facilities, of the state CEQA Guidelines. I.RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7302 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 2018‐0017 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The 0.27‐acre (11,700 square feet) site is located at 390 Chinquapin Avenue, between Tamarack Avenue to the north and Date Avenue to the south. The project site is also adjacent to the western boundary of the railroad right‐of‐way and is within the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The flat lot is developed with a 1,108‐square‐foot, one‐story single‐family residence and an 844‐square‐foot, detached two‐car garage. The surrounding neighborhood is developed with a mixture of older one and two‐story single‐family residences, as well as a two‐story apartment building. No sensitive vegetation, public beach access or coastal resources are identified on‐site. Table A below highlights the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and surrounding properties.

The proposed remodel includes the connection of the existing detached garage to the home through the addition of a foyer and office. A second floor is proposed above the remodeled garage and ground floor addition. The second‐floor addition comprises 1,552 square feet and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office and two balconies. The maximum proposed height of the residence will be 23’‐5”. A 401 square‐foot accessory dwelling unit is also proposed adjacent to the remodeled garage and will be processed administratively pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Section 21.201.080(C). The architectural design of the residence reflects a Craftsman style with low‐pitched gabled roofs, double‐ hung windows, composite horizontal and shingle siding, as well as a smooth‐finish stucco. The varied exterior finishes create texture and articulation which complement the Craftsman style. Adequate parking and vehicle access off Chinquapin Avenue exist on‐site. Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 32 cubic yards of cut (i.e., export) 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‐23 Residential General Plan Land Use Designation; B. Residential Density‐Multiple Zone (CMC Chapter 21.24); C. Beach Area Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.82); D. 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); 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 the above‐noted regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below. A. General Plan Land Use Designation The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of R‐23 Residential, which allows for the development of single‐family and multiple‐family residences at a density of 15‐23 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 19 du/ac. The project site has a net area of 0.27 acres. At the GMCP, a minimum of five (5) residential units could be developed. The addition to the existing single‐family residence does not increase the number of units on the property. In addition, accessory dwelling units do not count toward density pursuant to CMC Section 21.10.030.D.16. Therefore, no change in density is proposed or required to be analyzed and the project is consistent with the R‐23 General Plan Land Use designation. CDP 2018‐0017(DEV2018‐0029) – JONES RESIDENCE July 18, 2018 Page 3 B. Residential Density‐Multiple Zone (CMC Chapter 21.24) The project is required to comply with all applicable regulations and development standards of the Residential Density‐Multiple (RD‐M) zone. Table B below demonstrates project compliance with the requirements of the RD‐M zone. TABLE B – RD‐M ZONE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED Front Yard Setback 20’ minimum 20’ Side Yard Setback 5’ minimum 14’‐5” and 15’‐2” Rear Yard Setback 10’ minimum 29’‐3” Lot Coverage 60 percent maximum 24 percent Parking Two‐car garage (20’ X 20’) Two‐car garage (20’ X 20’) C. Beach Area Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.82) The project is required to comply with the development standards of the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ). The proposed project meets all applicable requirements of the BAOZ as demonstrated in Table C below. CMC Section 21.82.040 requires the approval of a site development plan for building permits or other entitlements for any use in the BAOZ. However, a site development plan is not required for the construction, reconstruction, alteration or enlargement of a single‐family residential dwelling on a residentially‐zoned lot. TABLE C – BAOZ DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED Max Building Height 30 feet for roof pitch ≥3:12 or 24 feet for roof pitch <3:12 23’‐5” with 4:12 pitch Visitor Parking 0.30 space per unit (1 space rounded up) 1 guest parking space* *Required visitor parking may be provided within driveways pursuant to CMC Section 21.82.060.C D. 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 (LCP) and the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. 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 an LCP Land Use Plan designation of R‐23 Residential, which allows for a density of 15‐23 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and 19 du/ac at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP). The project site has a net area of 0.27 acres; at the GMCP, five (5) dwelling units are allowed. The proposal to remodel the existing single‐family home is consistent with the R‐23 LCP Land Use Plan designation. The project consists of the addition of 1,766 square feet of new habitable space to a single‐family home, including the addition of a second floor. The project is compatible with the surrounding development of one‐ and two‐story single‐family residences. The addition of a second floor will not obstruct views of the CDP 2018‐0017(DEV2018‐0029) – JONES RESIDENCE July 18, 2018 Page 4 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 existing single‐family residence is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. 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. E. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85) Pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85.030.D.1, a project is 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. F. Growth Management (CMC Chapter 21.90) The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the Northwest Quadrant of the city. There will no impact to public facilities as the project consists of a remodel and additions to an existing residence. No new impacts will be generated. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the following categorical exemption: Section 15301(e)(2) of CEQA (Class 1), Existing Facilities, exempts additions to an existing structure where all public facilities are available and the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon project approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 7302 2. Location Map 3. Disclosure Statement 4. Reduced Exhibits 5.
