AGENDA OF: Feb. 16, 2022 Project Planner: Esteban Danna Project Engineer: David Rick SUBJECT: CDP 2020-0010 (DEV2020-0057) – BOX RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the addition and remodel of an existing single-family residence within the Mello II Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program located at 5380 Los Robles Drive within Local Facilities Management Zone 3. 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 Existing Facilities – Section 15301(e) of the state CEQA Guidelines. I.RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7436 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 2020-0010 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The 0.21-acre (9,384 square feet) project site is located at 5380 Los Robles Dr., near the northeast corner of Los Robles Drive and Cerezo Drive, as shown on the attached location map. The lot is currently developed with an existing one-story 1,934-square-foot single-family residence and a 525- square-foot two-car attached garage. A 600-square-foot attached accessory dwelling unit is also on the premises, but the existing accessory dwelling unit structure is not included within the scope of the project and will remain onsite in its present location and configuration. The surrounding neighborhood is developed with single-family residences, generally bounded to the west by Carlsbad Boulevard and to the east by the Los Angeles – San Diego (LOSSAN) rail corridor. The project would require no significant grading nor removal of native vegetation. No public beach access or coastal resources are identified onsite. Table “A” below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and surrounding properties. 1 CDP 2020-0010 (DEV2020-0057) – BOX RESIDENCE Feb. 16, 2022 Page 2 TABLE A Location General Plan Designation Zoning Current Land Use Site R-4 R-1 Single-family residence North R-4 R-1 Single-family residence South R-4 R-1 Single-family residence East R-4 R-1 Single-family residence West R-4 R-1 Single-family residence Proposed Residential Construction: The project consists of a first- and second-story addition and remodel to the existing one-story single-family residence and attached garage. Upon completion, the total area for the single-family home will be 3,132 square feet with an attached 757-square-foot attached garage. This proposed construction would result in a 1,430-square-foot addition to the home and 157-square-foot addition to the attached garage. The 600-square-foot accessory dwelling unit is not included within the scope of the project and will remain onsite in its present location and configuration. The remodeled residence will be two stories with pitched roof elements and a roof-top deck. The maximum height of the residence will be 25’-1”. The architectural design of the proposed residence is contemporary and typical of southern California coastal communities. Building materials used for the exterior are a combination of stucco, wood siding, and an asphalt shingle roof. Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 0 cubic yards (cy) of cut, 0 cy of fill with 33 cy of remedial. A grading permit is not required for this project. III.ANALYSIS The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements: A.R-4 Residential General Plan Designation; B. R-1 One-Family Residential Zone (CMC Chapter 21.10); C.Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203); D.Growth Management (CMC Chapter 21.90). 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.R-4 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 (du/ac) with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 du/ac. The project proposes an addition to an existing residence (which was subdivided originally at a density of 4.76 du/ac). Per Land Use Element Policy 2-P.7 one single-family dwelling is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that existed as of October 28, 2004. The subject lot was legally created on February 10, 1956. Therefore, the existing single-family residence is consistent with the Elements of the city’s General Plan. B.R-1 One-Family Residential Zone (CMC Chapter 21.16) CDP 2020-0010 (DEV2020-0057) – BOX RESIDENCE Feb. 16, 2022 Page 3 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 (CMC Chapter 21.10). Table B below shows how the project complies with the applicable requirements. TABLE B – R-3 ZONE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED Building Height 35 feet/2 stories 25’-1”/2 stories Front Yard Setback 20 feet minimum 20 feet Side Yard Setback 6’-10” minimum 6’-10” Rear Yard Setback 13’-8” 13’-8” Lot Coverage 40 percent 39 percent Parking Two-car garage Two-car garage C.Conformance with the Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Costal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.90). The project site is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) but is not within the appeals jurisdiction. The site is 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: 1.Mello II Segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies The subject site has an LCP Land Use Plan designation of R-4 Residential, which allows for a density of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and 3.2 du/ac at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP). At the R-3.2 GMCP, one dwelling unit would be permitted on this 0.21-acre (net developable) property. The addition and remodel of the single-family residence will not increase the number of units on the property. Therefore, no change in density is proposed or required to be analyzed. The project consists of addition and remodel of an existing single-family residence and attached garage. The remodeled residence and garage 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 as there are currently no views of the coastline from this location. No agricultural uses currently exist on the previously developed site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the site. The 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.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) or native vegetation. D.Growth Management CDP 2020-0010 (DEV2020-0057) – BOX RESIDENCE Feb. 16, 2022 Page 4 The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 3 in the northwest quadrant of the city. There will be no impact to public facilities because the project will not increase the number of units on the property. IV.ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and its implementing regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”) adopted by the Secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency, list classes of projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and as a result are exempt from further environmental review under CEQA. City staff completed a review of the project and potential environmental impacts associated with the project pursuant to CEQA and concluded that the project qualified for an exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301(e) (Existing Facilities), which includes additions to existing structures. A notice of intended decision regarding the environmental determination was advertised on December 20, 2021 and posted on the city’s website. The notice included a general description of the project, the proposed environmental findings, and a general explanation of the matter to be considered. The findings and determination contained in that notice was declared as final on the date of the noticed decision, unless appealed as provided by the procedures commencing in Chapter 21.54 (Procedures, Hearings, Notices, and Fees) of the Zoning Ordinance. During the 10-day public review period, the city received no comment letters from the public regarding the prospective environmental determination. Since no appeal was filed and no substantial evidence was submitted that would support a finding that the exemption requirements would not be satisfied, the project was determined by the city planner to not have a significant effect on the environment. The CEQA Determination letter is attached to this staff report as Attachment 4 and demonstrates that the project is categorically exempt from further environmental review. The city planner’s written decision is final and the CEQA determination is not within the Planning Commission’s purview. With the appropriate environmental clearances in place, all of the city’s procedural requirements and relevant aspects of CEQA have been satisfied. The CEQA Guidelines include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which shall, therefore, be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 is a Class 1 exemption for existing facilities. Exempted are additions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet. The project must be located in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan. In addition, the area in which the project is located cannot be environmentally sensitive. The proposed project and site meet the criteria of the Section 15301 Class 1 existing facilities exemption.
