The City Planner has completed a review of your application for Consistency Determination CD 2021-0007,
(APN: 155-140-10-00) which is a modification to CDP 2019-0015/NCP 2020-0002, a request for a Coastal
Development Permit and a Nonconforming Construction Permit to allow the addition of 1,877 square feet
of living area to an existing single-family residence, a 512-square-foot garage, second story deck, partially
covered patio, and a new pool on a 0,61-acre lot located at 2465 Jefferson Street.
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of
the findings below and APPROVES this request The proposed modifications include:
• Increase the area of the exterior terrace patio cover from 320 SF to 520 SF.
• Increase the area of the second-floor terrace from 75 SF to 177 SF.
• Increase roof pitch on existing one-story section (south wing); increase from 2:12 to 3.5:12.
Roof height increase of 12'-3" to 13' -3".
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings
must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function in that the expansion of the exterior
terraces and roaf pitch increase will nat delete any essential design features. The proposed
changes to the project are located in the rear of the house and not visible from the front ar
public street. The roof pitch will now match the other new roof areas to provide better drainage
and consistency in appearance.
2} The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the proposed expansion of
the exterior terraces and roof pitch increase will maintain the project's design, quality and/or
improve the project's design, ·quality. For example; the columns of the proposed expanded
terrace patio cover will be stone-clad, where the previous design utilized wood posts. The roaf
pitch will now match the other new roof areas to provide better drainage and consistency in
appearance.
3} The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property.

4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit.
5} The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development.
6} The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code in that the proposed expansion of the exterior terraces will not create change
greater than 10%. The rear yard setback to the terrace structure will decrease from 145 feet to
138 feet {8.7% reduction). The approved lot coverage is 17.5% and the proposed lot coverage
will increase to 18.7% {7% increase). The revision in the roof pitch will increase the overall height
from 12'-3" to 13'-3" {8% increase). This increase is less than 10% and well below the maximum
height of 35'.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation in that the proposed expansion of the exterior terraces and roof pitch
increase will not involve any environmental impact.
BJ The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change in that there were no major issues or controversies
associated with this project during the original Coastal Development Permit and
Nonconforming Construction Permit application.
10} The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved in that the proposed expansion of
the exterior terraces are still located in the same areas of the property as originally approved.
The roof pitch increase results in a roof height increase around one foot and will not be readily
discernable and consistent with the roof pitch of the existing structure. Furthermore, the
proposed changes are located in the rear of the property and not visible from the front or public
street.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
