AGENDA OF: July 1, 2009 Application complete date: March 12, 2008 Project Planner: Shelley Esteybar Project Engineer: David Rick SUBJECT: CDP 08-05 - DUTTA RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the construction of a new 5,042 square foot single family residence on a .11 acre lot located at 6455 Surfside Lane within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 22. I.RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6576 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 08-05 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION The applicant is proposing the construction of a new single-family residence with a subterranean basement on an R-l-10,000 zoned single-family lot. Pursuant to Section 21.201.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the construction of a single family home within the City's Coastal Zone requires the processing and approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The CDP application was reviewed for consistency with Local Coastal Program (LCP) policies and implementation. The proposed residence is consistent with the La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201) and the Mello II segment of the City's LCP. There are no unresolved issues and staffs recommendation of approval with conditions is supported by the analysis as follows. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The project is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Surfside Lane and Island Way and east of Carlsbad Boulevard within the La Costa Downs Specific Plan area, and as shown on the attached location map (Attachment 2). The previously graded flat lot area is 0.11 acres (4,777 square feet) in area and is located outside the appeals jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. The property is surrounded by single family residences. Proposed Residential Construction: The applicant is proposing to construct a new two-story, 5,042 square foot single-family residence with a subterranean basement and attached two-car garage which fronts on and is accessed off of Surfside Lane. The residence will have a "modern/contemporary" style of architecture consisting of flat rectangular fa9ade forms, channel glass walls, recessed windows with absent window surrounds, an extensive use of decorative stone veneer and glass, and a flat roof with parapets and metal fascias. At the street front corner o CDP 08-05 - DUTTA RESIDENCE July 1,2009 Page 2 of the house, the channel glass wall provides the home with a very distinctive tower element. To the rear (west elevation), there are two large "storefront" windows used as major focal points for the residential home as seen from Carlsbad Boulevard. The flat rooftop will include 377 square feet of roof deck located at the northeast and southwest corners of the building. Review of La Costa Downs Specific Plan: In the 1920's, the La Costa Downs Subdivision was subdivided into narrow streets and parcels that are now considered substandard to today's City standards. The La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201) was adopted on April 3, 1991, to provide a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines for development of these lots. SP 201 includes residential development standards that reflect typical R-l standards. In some cases the development standards are more restrictive than those of the standard R-l zone. The applicant has satisfied all of the SP 201 requirements applicable to this project as discussed in the Analysis Section below. Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities, primarily associated with the excavation for the proposed basement, include 890 cubic yards (cy) of cut, 20 cy of fill with 870 cy of export. A grading permit will not be required for this project. Impact of Coastal Resources: The development is a single-family house on a previously graded lot; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist onsite; the development does not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public rights-of-way or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. IV. ANALYSIS The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and standards: A. La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201); B. Residential Medium Density (RM) General Plan Land Use designation; C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); D. Coastal Development Policies and Regulations for the Mello II LCP Segment and Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203); and, E. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance) and Zone 22 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. La Costal Downs Specific Plan (SP 201) As shown on the La Costa Downs Compliance Table 1 below, the proposed development is in compliance with all applicable regulations of SP 201. CDP 08-05 - DUTTA RESIDENCE July 1,2009 Page 3 TABLE 1 - LA COSTA DOWNS COMPLIANCE STANDARD Front Yard Setback Side/Rear Yard Setback Max Building Height Lot Coverage REQUIRED/ALLOWED 20' minimum 6' min., 10' max 715' min. 25' 40% maximum PROPOSED 20' 6'-10'/15' 25' 37% La Costa Downs Specific Plan Design Standards The La Costa Downs Specific Plan has a number of design standards to create a visually interesting and diverse neighborhood. The applicant has satisfied the standards through the use of interesting fa9ade treatments including: a channel glass tower in the street front corner of the house; extensive use of decorative textured materials (including stone veneer, rustic metal siding and glass windows); and a flat roof with proposed solar panels, parapets, metal fascias, and glass guardrails along the roof decks. Additionally, the residences' proposed modern architectural design includes recessed windows with absent window surrounds, two "storefront system" windows of different rectangular shapes placed in the rear elevation facing west, and a decorative obscured glass garage door facing the street front. The architectural design also provides off-set building planes on the front, rear and street side elevations. B. Residential Medium Density (RM) General Plan Land Use The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of RM (Residential Medium Density). The RM Land Use designation allows the development of single-family residences at a density of 4-8 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 6 dwelling units per acre. At the RM GMCP, .66 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.11 acre (net developable) property. One single-family dwelling unit is guaranteed pursuant to the following General Plan provision: "Notwithstanding the density provisions and intent of each residential land use designation, a one-family dwelling shall be permitted on any legal lot that existed as of October 28, 2004." The subject lot was legally created prior to October 28, 2004; therefore development of a one-family dwelling is consistent with the RM General Plan Land Use designation. C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance For any residential development less than seven units, the inclusionary housing requirements may be satisfied through the payment to the city of an impact fee. The project has been conditioned to pay this fee prior to the issuance of a building permit. D. Coastal Development Policies and Regulations for the Mello II LCP Segment and Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203). 1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies. The project is located in the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment. The project proposes the construction of a new single-family residence in an area designated for single-family residential CDP 08-05 - DUTTA RESIDENCE July 1,2009 Page 4 development. As shown in Table 2 and discussed below, the project complies with all applicable LCP provisions. TABLE 2 - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COASTAL DEVELOPMENT COMPLIANCE STANDARD LCP Land Use Plan General Plan Zoning Grading Permit Required Hillside Development Permit Required Native Vegetation Impacts COMPLIANCE RM (Residential Medium) RM (Residential Medium) R-l-1 0,000 (La Costa Downs SP 201) No (Exempted) No None The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for RM (Residential Medium) density development. The property is zoned R-l-10,000, but has special zoning provided by Specific Plan 201 in that each existing legal lot can be developed with a single family unit and the project therefore is consistent with the zoning. The proposed residence will be located on the west side of Surfside Lane. The two-story residence with a subterranean basement is consistent with the surrounding development of two story structures within the La Costa Downs subdivision. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, and the property is not within the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone that would require mitigation for conversion to urban uses. There are no sensitive coastal resources within the pre-graded subdivision. The residence is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. 2.Conformance with public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. No public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site and no public access requirements are conditioned for the project since it is not located between the first public road and the ocean. The residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities and the development does not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right of way. 3.Coastal Overlay Zones. The subject site is located in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone; however, due to its location on the inland side of Carlsbad Boulevard and the absence of slopes steeper than or equal to 25% inclination and/or native vegetation, additional submittals, standards or requirements do not apply. The project will not require a grading permit. Construction of the project will adhere to the City's Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan and Grading Ordinance to avoid increased runoff and soil erosion. CDP 08-05 - DUTTA RESIDENCE July 1,2009 PageS E. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance) and Zone 3 Local Facilities Management Plan. The project is subject to the provisions of the Growth Management Ordinance, as contained in Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance. The project's conformance with the requirements of the Growth Management regulations is detailed in Table 3 below: TABLE 3 - GROWTH MANAGEMENT COMPLIANCE STANDARD City Administration Library Waste Water Treatment Park Drainage Circulation Fire School Districts (Carlsbad Unified) Sewer (Carlsbad) Water (Carlsbad) IMPACTS/STANDARDS 3.4767 sq. ft. 1.8542 sq.ft. 1EDU .006953 acre < 1 CFS / Drainage Basin "C" 10ADT Station No. 4 Elementary = 0.2339 Middle School = 0.1 171 High School = 0.1 442 1EDU 220 GPD COMPLY Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 22 in the southwest quadrant of the City. The construction of a new single-family residence will have no adverse impacts on public facilities. At the RM Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 6 dwelling units per acre, 0.66 dwelling units are allowed on the .11-acre site. The project proposes 1 dwelling unit and it is therefore 0.34 dwelling units above the GMCP. Consistent with the General Plan and Policy No. 43, 0.34 dwelling units will be withdrawn from the City's excess dwelling unit bank. V.ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director 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. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the following Section of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines: Section 15303(a) of CEQA exemptions (Class 3) exempts the construction of a single family residence in an urbanized area from environmental review. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the Planning Director upon project approval. CDP 08-05 - DUTTA RESIDENCE July 1,2009 Page 6 ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 6576 2.
