The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, (APN: 206-
192-38-00) which is a modification to CDP 02-24, a request for a Coastal Development Permit for the
development of a single-family residence.
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:
• Addition of a 391.5-square-foot roof deck adjacent to master bedroom
• Addition of 183-square-foot balcony adjacent to bedrooms 3 and 4
• 58 square-foot reduction in total residential area
• Six-inch reduction in building height
• Removal of a three-story condition to comply with current two-story requirement
• Redesigned interior floor plan
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 minor/negligible changes to
the footprint of the house or site design are proposed.
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 original plans were
approved in 2003 and the changes to the design and finish materials are more compatible with
current standards and design trends.
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 in that the property use will continue to be residential as originally approved.
5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development in that the
property use will continue to be residential as originally approved.

6} The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance wi/1 be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code in that the proposed changes reduce the home's floor area and overall height.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation in that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program approved through Planning Commission Resolution No. 5412 approved on
May 21, 2003 is still in force and the proposed changes do not require additional mitigation.
8) 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.
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 property will be used as
a two-story plus basement, single-family residence of substantially similar size and consistent
design quality as originally approved.
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.
