AGENDA OF: March 20, 2019 Project Planner: Chris Sexton Project Engineer: Jennifer Horodyski SUBJECT: CDP 2018-0038 (DEV2018-0103) – ALLANSON-SELVIDGE CARLSBAD RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) to allow for the demolition of an existing single-family residence and the construction of a 3,381-square-foot, two- story single-family residence with an attached two-car garage along with 771-square-feet of second-floor decks and a 564-square-foot roof deck within the Mello II Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program located at 5170 Carlsbad Boulevard within Local Facilities Management Zone 3. 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 15303 (a), construction of a single-family residence, of the state CEQA Guidelines. I.RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7323 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 2018-0038 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The 0.15-acre (6,060 square feet) project site is located at 5170 Carlsbad Boulevard as shown on the attached location map. The site topography ranges from approximately 51 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) at Carlsbad Boulevard to approximately 58 feet AMSL at the rear property line. Table “A” below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and surrounding properties.

The proposed residence consists of a 1,657-square-foot first story, 1,472-square-foot second story and a basement. The basement will encompass a 705-square-foot two-car garage, storage areas, an elevator shaft, and mechanical and elevator equipment room. The design also includes 1,335- square feet of decks along with 771-square-feet of second-floor decks and a 564-square-foot roof deck. The proposed project offers a mid-century modern architectural influence which is complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. The residence features dark gray and white stucco finishes and the white stucco helps accentuate the articulation of the exterior walls. A medium bronze metal fascia provides a sense of horizontality as it contrasts with the white and dark grey stucco throughout the building. Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 150 cubic yards (cy) of cut, 20 cy of fill with 130 cy of export. A grading permit will be required for this project. III. ANALYSIS The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements: A. R-4 General Plan Land Use Designation; B. One-Family Residential Zone (R-1, CMC Chapter 21.10); C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Chapter 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. General Plan Land Use Designation The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is R-4 Residential, which allows for residential development at a density range of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 du/ac. The project site has a net developable acreage of 0.15 acres; at the 3.2 GMCP, 0.4 dwelling units are allowed. Although the project’s proposed density of 6.6 du/ac exceeds the R-4 density range of 0 to 4 du/ac, one single-family dwelling unit is guaranteed pursuant to the following General Plan Land Use provision: “Notwithstanding the density provisions and intent of each residential land use designation, a one-family dwelling shall be permitted on any legal lot that existed as of October 28, 2004.” The subject lot was legally created prior to October 28, 2004; therefore, the development of the subject lot with one single-family home is consistent with the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation. B. One-Family Residential Zone (R-1) 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 (CMC Chapter 21.10). Table “B” below shows how the project complies with the applicable requirements of the R-1 zone.

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 within the appeals 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) 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, 0.4 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.15-acre property. However, one single-family dwelling unit is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that existed as of October 28, 2004, pursuant to General Plan Policy 2-P.7. The subject lot was legally created prior to October 28, 2004, and was already developed with a residence. Therefore, the proposed new single-family residence is consistent with the R-4 LCP Land Use Plan designation. The project consists of the construction of a new 3,381-square-foot single-family residence with an attached 705-square-foot two-car garage located within a basement in an area designated for one-family residential development. The proposed two-story residence with basement is compatible with the surrounding development of one- to two-story residential 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. Furthermore, no agricultural uses exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the previously-developed site. The proposed single-family residence is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. Given that the site does not have any frontage along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access or water-oriented recreational activities are available. 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. CDP 2018-0038 (DEV2018-0032) – ALLANSON-SELVIDGE CARLSBAD RESIDENCE March 20, 2019 Page 4 D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85) Pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85.030 (D.3), a project may be exempt from the inclusionary housing requirement if the construction of a new residential structure replaces a residential structure that was demolished within two years prior to the application for a building permit for the new residential structure. The exemption is contingent upon the number of residential units not being increased from the number of residential units in the previously demolished residential structure. 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 if building permits are issued within two years of the demolition of the existing residential structure. E. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 3 in the Northwest Quadrant of the city. There will be no impact to public facilities because the new single-family residence is replacing an existing single-family residence and no new impacts will be generated. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 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 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) Class 3 Categorical Exemption of the State CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project, including historical resources. Specifically, the existing home, which is estimated to be 67 years old and is proposed to be demolished, is not identified on a local register of historical resources and a qualified professional has determined that it does not meet the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon final project approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 7323 2. Location Map 3. Disclosure Form 4. Reduced Exhibits 5.
