SUBJECT: CT 2017‐0007/PUD 2017‐0006/CDP 2017‐0075 (DEV2017‐0100) – TAMARACK BEACH
HOMES – Request for approval of a Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit
and Coastal Development Permit to allow the demolition of an existing duplex and the
development of a five‐unit, residential air‐space condominium project on a 0.40‐acre site
located at 438 Tamarack Avenue, within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal
Program and 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 this project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 “In‐Fill Development
Projects” of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact
on the environment.
I.RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7301 APPROVING Tentative
Tract Map CT 2017‐0007, Planned Development Permit PUD 2017‐0006, and Coastal Development Permit
CDP 2017‐0075, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant proposes to demolish an existing duplex and construct a five‐unit residential air‐space
condominium project on a 0.40‐acre site located at 438 Tamarack Avenue. Topographically, the site is
generally flat and presently developed with two residential units. A ten‐foot wide street dedication will
be required along Tamarack Avenue which will result in the property being 0.37‐acre. The development
proposes five detached homes. The condominium project requires the processing and approval of a
Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit and Coastal Development Permit.
The proposed project contains a paved drive‐aisle down the center of the site, with three units on the
east side and two units on the west side of the drive‐aisle. Each home includes an attached two‐car garage
with a direct entrance into the unit. All five units contain four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and range
in size from 2,385 square feet to 2,534 square feet. The thee units on the east side of the drive‐aisle are
three stories with an overall building height of 34’‐6” as measured from the new finished grade. The two
units on the west side of the drive‐aisle are two stories with an overall height of 26’‐6” as measured from
the new finished grade. The finished grade for measuring building height is being established slightly
higher than the existing grade for a uniform design and for drainage purposes. All units include a private
deck area off the second and/or third floor, as well as an exclusive use yard at the ground level. The two‐
story units both contain a roof deck. The underlying lot will be held in common interest divided between
the five air‐space condominiums. The common area includes, but is not limited to, the private drive aisle,
guest parking spaces, and landscaping.

The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency
with the applicable regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of the above regulations
is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. R‐15 Residential General Plan Land Use Designation
The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is R‐15 Residential, which allows residential
development at a density range of 8‐15 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management
Control Point (GMCP) of 11.5 du/ac. The project site has a net developable acreage of 0.40 acres. At the
GMCP, five dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.40 net developable acre property (4.6 dwelling
units rounded up to five dwelling units). Therefore, the residential development complies with the R‐15
General Plan Land Use designation for density.
Additionally, the project complies with the Elements of the General Plan as outlined in Table “C” below:

B. Residential Density ‐ Multiple (RD‐M) Zone and Planned Development Regulations
The proposed project is required to comply with all applicable use and development standards of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the Residential Density ‐ Multiple (RD‐M) Zone (CMC Chapter
21.24). The five‐unit residential air‐space condominium project meets or exceeds the requirements of
the RD‐M Zone as outlined in Table “D” below. The Planned Development regulations provide most of
the development standards except for those listed in the table below. The project complies with all
applicable development standards for Planned Developments (CMC Chapter 21.45). Please refer to
Attachments 4 and 5 for an analysis of project compliance with Tables C and E of the Planned Development

C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC
21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC 21.203)
1. Mello II Segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies
The proposed site is in the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and is not within the
appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The project site has an LCP Land Use designation
of R‐15 Residential and Zoning of RD‐M, which are consistent with the City’s General Plan and Zoning. The
project’s consistency with the R‐15 General Plan Land Use designation is analyzed in Section “A,” Table
“C” above.
The project consists of the demolition of two existing residential units and the construction of five
detached air‐space condominiums. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding
development of residential structures. The two‐ and three‐story structures 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‐site. The proposed project 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) nor native vegetation. In addition,
the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or
liquefaction.

D. Subdivision Ordinance
The Land Development Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed Tentative Tract Map and has
found that the subdivision complies with all applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the
city’s Subdivision Ordinance (Title 20) for Major Subdivisions. The subdivision is considered major because
it involves the division of land into five or more condominiums (five condominiums proposed). The project
has been conditioned to install all infrastructure‐related improvements and the necessary easements for
these improvements concurrent with the development.
E. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
For all residential development less than seven units, the inclusionary housing requirement may be
satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in‐lieu fee. The proposal to construct five
residential condominium units has been conditioned to pay the applicable housing in‐lieu fee for three
units prior to building permit issuance or five units if building permits for the five‐unit project have not
been applied for within two years of demolishing the two residential units on‐site.
F. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the Northwest Quadrant of
the city. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted
performance standards, are summarized in Table “F” below.
TABLE F – GROWTH MANAGEMENT COMPLIANCE
STANDARD IMPACTS COMPLIANCE
City Administration 17.7 sq. ft. Yes
Library 9.4 sq. ft. Yes

Open Space N/A N/A
Schools Carlsbad (E=0.50/M=0.20/HS = 0.25) Yes
Sewer Collection System 5 EDU Yes
Water 1,250 GPD Yes
The project proposes five dwelling units and the unit yield at the GMCP of the property is five dwelling
units. Therefore, the project complies with the Growth Management Ordinance and no units will be
deposited or withdrawn from the city’s excess dwelling unit bank.
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 15332 (In‐Fill Development Projects) Class 32 Categorical Exemption of the State CEQA Guidelines.
The project is consistent with the General Plan as well as with the Zoning Ordinance, the project site is
within the city limits, is less than five acres in size, and is surrounded by urban uses; there is no evidence

that the site has value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; approval of the project will
not result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be
adequately served by all required utilities and public services. 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. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon final project approval.
The five‐unit condominium project is not subject to Climate Action Plan measures because the project is
below the 70‐unit multi‐family housing screening threshold listed in the city’s Climate Action Plan (Section
5.3).

CITY COUNCIL POLICY 66 – LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS
Principle Compliance Comments
1. Building Facades, Front Entries, Porches
Facades create interest and character and should be varied
and articulated to provide visual interest to pedestrians.
Clearly identifiable front doors and porches enhance the
street scene and create opportunities for greater social
interaction within the neighborhood. Building entries and
windows should face the street. Front porches, bay
windows, courtyards and balconies are encouraged.
The south/front elevation
architecture of Unit 1 and Unit 5
provides multiple material finishes,
varied window shapes, and
articulated building planes. In
addition, these front units along
Tamarack Avenue have been
designed with a clearly identifiable
covered front porch and entry.
2. Garages
Homes should be designed to feature the residence as the
prominent part of the structure in relation to the street. A
variety of garage configurations should be used to improve
the street scene. This may include tandem garages, side‐
loaded garages, front‐loaded garages, alley‐loaded garages
and recessed garages.
Each dwelling will include a two‐car
garage and there are two additional
parking spaces for visitors. All
garages are accessed from a private
drive‐aisle located in the middle of
the property and oriented away
from public view of the street.
3. Street Design
An interconnected, modified (grid) street pattern should be
incorporated into project designs when there are no
topographic or environmental constraints. Interconnected
streets provide pedestrians and automobiles many
alternative routes to follow, disperse traffic and reduce the
volume of cars on any one street in the neighborhood. Streets
should be designed to provide both vehicular and pedestrian
connectivity by minimizing the use of cul‐de‐sacs.
The street network should also be designed to create a
safer, more comfortable pedestrian and bicycling
environment. Local residential streets should have travel
and parking lanes, be sufficiently narrow to slow traffic,
provide adequate access for emergency and service vehicles
and emergency evacuation routes for residents and include
parkways with trees to form a pleasing canopy over the
street. Local residential streets are the public open space in
which children often play and around which neighborhoods
interact. Within this context, vehicular movement should be
additionally influenced through the use of City‐accepted
designs for traffic calming measures.
The project is developing on an
existing multi‐family residentially
zoned lot adjacent to an existing
public street (Tamarack Avenue)
presently developed as part of an
existing interconnected modified
street pattern south of the Carlsbad
Barrio area. The existing street
design in this area has curb, gutter
and sidewalks.
4. Parkways
Street trees should be planted in the parkways along all
streets. Tree species should be selected to create a unified
image for the street, provide an effective canopy, avoid
sidewalk damage and minimize water consumption.
Street trees will be provided in the
parkway as well as on private
property within the front yard
along Tamarack Avenue.
ATTACHMENT 5
CITY COUNCIL POLICY 66 – LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS
Principle Compliance Comments
5. Pedestrian Walkways
Pedestrian walkways should be located along or visible from
all streets. Walkways (sidewalks or trails) should provide
clear, comfortable and direct access to neighborhood
schools, parks/plazas and transit stops. Primary pedestrian
routes should be bordered by residential fronts, parks or
plazas. Where street connections are not feasible (at the
end of cul‐de‐sacs), pedestrian paths should also be
provided.
The project provides for pedestrian
circulation in the form of a sidewalk
along its frontage with Tamarack
Avenue.
6. Centralized Community Recreation Areas
Park or plazas, which serve as neighborhood meeting places
and as recreational activity centers should be incorporated
into all planned unit developments. As frequently as
possible, these parks/plazas should be designed for both
active and passive uses for residents of all ages and should
be centrally located within the project. Parks and plazas
should be not be sited on residual parcels, used as buffers
from surrounding developments or to separate buildings
from streets.
The project consists of only five
dwellings and is not required to
provide community recreation
areas.
