CASE NAME: CASE NO: TERRA BELLA DEVELOPMENT CDP 2020-0007 (DEV2019-0147) WHEREAS, Terra Bella Development, LLC, "Developer/Owner," has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as Lot 5 in Block 24 of La Costa Downs Unit No 1, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map No. 2013, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, April 6, 1927 ("the Property"); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit as shown on Exhibit(s) "A" -"L" dated November 4, 2020, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning Division, CDP 2020-0007 -TERRA BELLA DEVELOPMENT, as provided in Chapter 21.201 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on November 4, 2020, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Coastal Development Permit. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows: A) That the above recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing,.the Commission APPROVES CDP 2020-0007 -TERRA BELLA DEVELOPMENT, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: Coastal Development, CDP 2020-0017 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the project is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program Segment. The subject site has an LCP Land Use Plan designation of R-8 Residential, which allows for residential development at a density of 4-8 du/ac and 6 du/ac at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP). The property is zoned R-1, but has special zoning provided by Specific Plan 201 in that each existing legal lot can be developed with a single-family unit. The proposed single-family home is consistent with the R-8 General Plan Land Use designation as discussed in Section A of the project staff report. Therefore, the project is consistent with the Mello II Segment of the LCP. The project consists of the construction of a new 4,118-square-foot single family residence with an attached two-car garage in an area designated for residential development. The proposed two-story, single-family residence above a basement is compatible with the surrounding development of 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 graded 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. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the coastal shore and, therefore, will not interfere with the public's right to physical access or water-oriented recreational activities. 3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (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% gradient) nor native vegetation. In addition, the_ site is not located in an area .prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 4. 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 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Sections 15303(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines. More specifically, CEQA Section 15303(a) -New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, is a Class 3 exemption that includes the construction of one single-family residence in a residential zone. Consistent with the section, the project is proposing to construct one single-family residence which is located on a residentially zoned property. 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. PC RESO NO. 7387 -2- General 5. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 22 and all City public policies and ordinances.
