Item No.
Application complete date: October 14, 2020
P.C. AGENDA OF: February 17, 2021 Project Planner: Paul Dan
Project Engineer: Kyrenne Chua
SUBJECT: CDP 2017-0024 (DEV05075) – HIGHLAND JAMES 5 LOT 2 - Request for approval of a
Coastal Development Permit to allow for the construction of a 3,530 square foot single-
family residence within the Mello II Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program located
at 3980 Highland Drive 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 15303(a) construction of a single family
residence of the state CEQA Guidelines.
I.RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7407 APPROVING Coastal
Development Permit CDP 2017-0024 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Site/Setting: The 0.27 acre (11,916 square foot) project site is one lot of a previously subdivided
infill project located south of Tamarack Avenue between Highland Drive and James Drive as shown on the
attached location map. Proposed frontage improvements include curb, gutter, parkway and sidewalk.
The topography of the lot consists of a relatively flat pad and gently slopes down towards the rear property
line. The site is part of an original larger single lot that had been developed with one single family home
in the past. No agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazards or coastal
access opportunities exist onsite. No sensitive plant species were found on the property and applicable
habitat mitigation fees have already been paid for the project. Table “A” below includes the General Plan
Land Use designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and surrounding properties.

West R-4 Residential R-1-10000 Single-Family Residence
Proposed Residential Construction: The project involves the construction of a new 3,530 square foot 4
bedroom/3.5 bath single-family residence with attached two-car garage on a previously subdivided lot.
The two-story single-family home reflects a Farmhouse architectural style. The home’s exterior features
primarily vertical composite siding and stucco, with horizontal siding under the front gable ends, all in an
off-white color. Shutters, fascia boards, and outlooker beams under the gable ends complete the home’s
style.
Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 25 cubic yards (cy) of cut, 775 cy of fill with 700
cy of import. A grading permit will be required for this project.
III.ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
A.R-4 Residential General Plan Land Use Designation;
B.One Family Residential (R-1) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.10);
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);
D.Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and
E.Growth Management (CMC Chapter 21.90) and Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan.
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 project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of R-4 Residential which allows for the
development of single-family residences 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’s overall density (5 du/ac)
was previously evaluated with the subdivision (CT 08-06). The overall density is above the top of the R-4
Residential GMCP and density range. The overall project was approved under the General Plan Land Use
Element policy that allows a density increase of 25% above the top of the R-4 Residential density range
(up to 5 du/acre) where the zone of the property is consistent with the land use designation. The policy
is in the General Plan to acknowledge that the R-1 Zone’s minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet could
technically achieve a density of 5.8 du/acre on a one-acre lot. This project consists of the subsequent
development of a single-family home on one of the five residential lots created by CT 08-06, and is
therefore consistent with the General Plan R-4 Land Use Designation.
B.One Family Residential Zone (R-1-10,000)
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 as shown in Table “B” below.

C.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:
The project is located in the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment. The subject site has an LCP Land Use
Plan 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). The subdivision (CT 08-06) has a density of 5 du/ac but is
consistent with the R-4 Residential General Plan Land Use designation as discussed in Section “A” above.
Therefore the project is consistent with the Mello II Segment of the LCP.
The project consists of the construction of a new 3,530 square foot single-family residence with attached
two-car garage in an area designated for single-family residential development. The proposed two-story
residence is compatible with the surrounding development of one- and two-story single-family 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 previously developed site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on
the site. The proposed single-family residence is not located in an area of known geologic instability or
flood hazard; and 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. No development is
proposed in areas of steep slopes (equal to or greater than 25% gradient.) In addition, the site is not
located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
D.Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85)
For any residential development of less than seven (7) units, the inclusionary housing requirements may
be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. The project’s obligation to pay an
inclusionary housing in-lieu fee was previously fulfilled with the approval of Final Map (PM 08-06).
CDP 2017-0024 (DEV05075) – HIGHLAND JAMES 5 LOT 2
February 17, 2021
Page 4
Therefore, the project to construct one (1) single-family residential dwelling unit is consistent with the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
E.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 “C” below. Facilities were also assessed with the
subdivision of the property.
