A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Permit
Item No. (^T)
P.C. AGENDA OF: January 18, 2012
Application complete date: October 17, 2011
Project Planner: Dan Halverson
Project Engineer: Tecla Levy
SUBJECT: CDP 10-16(A) - MOORE BEACH HOUSE II - Request for approval of a
Coastal Development Permit (CDP) Amendment to revise the architecture of a
previously approved CDP for the construction of a new two-story, 2,032 square
foot single family residence with an attached garage on a .11 acre lot located at
6485 Surfside Lane within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program
and within Local Facilities Management Zone 22.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6857
APPROVING Coastal Development Permit Amendment CDP 10-16(A) based upon the findings
and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
On October 20, 2010, the Planning Commission approved a Coastal Development Permit (CDP
10-16) for the construction of a new 2,453 square foot, two-story single-family structure on a
vacant lot located at 6485 Surfside Lane. That structure was approved with a "modem/beach"
style architecture with a pitched metal patina copper roof, decorative trim elements, balconies,
and several different sized windows.
The applicant is now proposing to amend that original CDP to change the architectural style of
the residence to a more "modem" style with a smaller floor area (2,032 square feet) and a larger
garage. The CDP Amendment 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
Proiect Site/Setting: The project is located on the west side of Surfside Lane, south of 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 vacant lot is
0.11 acres (4,620 square feet) in area and is located outside the appeals jurisdiction of the
Califomia Coastal Commission. The property is surrounded by single family residences.
Proposed Residential Constmction: The applicant is proposing to constmct a new two-story,
2,032 square foot two-story single-family residence including a 441 square foot attached two-car
CDP 10-16(A) - MOORE BEACH HOUSE II

garage which fi-onts on and is accessed off of Surfside Lane. The "Modem" architectural style of
the proposed home incorporates enhanced architectural features on all elevations which include
the following: flat rectangular facade forms at differing horizontal planes coated with a medium
brown and off white stucco finish, wood trimmed roof eaves, a wooden garage door, and a flat
roof with parapets and projecting eaves. Windows and doors will be recessed and will differ in
size and shape. The house will have a maximum roof height of 21 feet to the roof deck and 24
feet 6 inches to the top of the roof parapet.
Besides the change to the architecture, the proposed residence is smaller in area (2,453 square
feet to 2,032 square feet) and the proposed garage is larger in area (426 square feet to 441 square
feet) than the original proposal. The setbacks and siting of the residence remain relatively the
same with the new proposal, including the two foot overhang from a second story deck, which is
allowed per Section 21.46.120 of the C.M.C. (Permitted Intmsions into Required Yards). The
major difference between the two units is a flat roof compared to the originally approved sloped
roof
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-1 standards. In some cases the
development standards are more restrictive than those of the standard R-1 zone. The applicant
has satisfied all of the SP 201 requirements applicable to this project as discussed in the Analysis
Section below.
Proposed Grading: The vacant lot is primarily flat and therefore only a minimum amount of
grading is required. 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 obstmct views of the coastline as
seen fi-om 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. Residential Medium Density (RM) General Plan Land Use designation;
B. La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201);
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. 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.
B. 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.
TABLE 1 - LA COSTA DOWNS COMPLIANCE
STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED
Front Yard Setback 20' minimum 22' 6"
Side Yard Setback 6' min., 10' max 7.5'& 8'
Rear Yard Setback 15' minimum 15"^
Max Building Height 25' 24' 6"
Lot Coverage 40% maximum 39.9%
* Plus a two foot balcony encroachment into the rear yard setback
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: varied projecting eaves with many columns and
planter boxes; use of decorative textured materials and colors (including stucco, glass, and wood
siding, and with many different size and shapes of glass windows); and a flat roof top with a
deck and a large balcony/deck at the rear of the property. The architectural design also provides
many off-set building planes on most elevations.
C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
For any residential development less than seven units, for single family residential developments
of any size on an unbuilt residential subdivisions or individual lots existing prior to May, 1993,
the effective date of the original Inclusionary Ordinance, the inclusionary housing requirement
CDP 10-16(A) - MOORE BEACH HOUSE II
January 18, 2012
Page 4
may be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing 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
constmction of a new single-family residence in an area designated for single-family residential
development. As shown in Table 2 and discussed below, the project complies with all applicable
LCP provisions.
TABLE 2 - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
COASTAL DEVELOP MENT COMPLIANCE
STANDARD COMPLIANCE
LCP Land Use Plan RM (Residential Medium)
General Plan RM (Residential Medium)
Zoning R-1-10,000 (La Costa Downs SP 201)
Grading Permit Required No (Exempted)
Hillside Development Permit Required No
Native Vegetation Impacts None
The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for RM (Residential Medium) density
development. The property is zoned R-1-10,000, 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 is consistent with the surrounding development of two
story stmctures 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 fi-om 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 obstmct views of the coastline as seen from
public lands or the public right of way.
3. Coastal Overlav 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
CDP 10-16(A) - MOORE BEACH HOUSE II
January 18, 2012
Page 5
to 25% inclination and/or native vegetation, additional submittals, standards or requirements do
not apply. The project will not require a grading pennit. Constmction of the project will adhere
to the City's Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan and Grading
Ordinance to avoid increased mnoff and soil erosion.
E. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance) and
Zone 22 Local Facilities Management Plan.
The project is subject to the provisions ofthe 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:

The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 22 in the southwest
quadrant of the City. The constmction 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 were withdrawn fi-om the City's excess dwelling unit bank when the
previous CDP was approved.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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 environmeiit.
Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of an
environmental document pursuant to the following Section of the Califomia Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines:
Section 15303(a) of CEQA exemptions (Class 3) exempts the constmction of a single family
residence in a residential zone from environmental review.
