A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Permit
Item No. ( 2
P.C. AGENDA OF: October 5, 2011
Application complete date: July 26, 2011
Project Planner: Chris Garcia
Project Engineer: Clyde Wickham
SUBJECT: CDF 11-11 - GUGLIELMQ HOME - Request for the approval of a Coastal
Development Permit to allow for the construction of a new 2,924 square foot,
two-story, single-family residence with attached two car garage on an
undeveloped 0.14 acre lot located at 160 Jumper Avenue, within the Mello II
Segment of the Local Coastal Program and within Local Facilities Management
Zone 1.
I.RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6809
APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 11-11 based upon the findings and subject to
the conditions contained therein.
II.INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to Section 21.201.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the construction of a single-
family dwelling unit 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 plan standards. The project is not
located within the Appeals Jurisdiction of the coastal zone; therefore, the Planning Commission's
decision on the CDP cannot be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. There are no
unresolved issues. The staff recommendation for approval with conditions is supported by the
analysis as follows.
HI. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The proposed project consists of a request for a Coastal Development Permit to construct a new
2,924 square foot, two-story, single-family dwelling unit with an attached 799 square-foot two-
car garage and storage area on an undeveloped 6,273 square foot lot (0.14 net acres) located at
160 Jumper Avenue.
Project Site/Setting: The site consists of a previously disturbed vacant infill lot located as shown
on the attached location map. Topographically, the lot has a gradual slope across the property
from the southwest to the northeast and does not support any native vegetation. The lot area is
.14 acres (6,273 square feet) and is located outside the appeals jurisdiction of the California
Coastal Commission. The property is bordered by a single-family residence to the north, single-

family and multi-family residences to the south, single-family residences and a two unit attached
condo to the east and an undeveloped lot to the west.
Proposed Construction: The applicant is proposing to construct a new 2,924 square foot, two-
story, single-family dwelling unit, with an attached 799 square-foot two-car garage and storage
area and another 750 square feet of decks. The two-story dwelling has a proposed maximum
height of 30 feet and will represent an "Urban Spanish" architectural style. The proposed home
features multiple planes provided by decks and balconies on each floor and upper mezzanine.
The garage will be partially excavated below the existing grade and the south and west elevations
incorporate exposed wood beams above the garage area. The majority of the exterior proposes a
stucco finish along with concrete tile roof shingles on a pitched roof with protective eaves.
Proposed Grading: It has been determined that only minimal grading is required to prepare the
site for the home, therefore, the City Engineer has determined that a minor grading permit will be
required. A minor grading plan will be submitted with the building plan check.
Impact on Coastal Resources: The proposal comprises the development of a two-story, single-
family residence on a previously disturbed vacant infill lot in an area that is currently developed
with a single-family and multi-family homes; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources,
geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exists onsite; and 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 ordinances, standards, and policies:
A. Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use designation;
B. Multiple-Family Residential Zone (R-3, CMC Chapter 21.16) and Beach Area Overlay
Zone (CMC Chapter 21.82);
C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program
(CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter
21.203)
D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and
E. Growth Management (CMC Chapter 21.90).
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of
the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use
The project site has a Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use designation. The
RH Land Use designation allows the development of two-family, multiple-family and one-family
dwellings at a density of 15-23 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management Control Point
(GMCP) of 19 dwelling units per acre. The project has a density of 7.14 dwelling units per acre
CDP 11 -11 - GUGLIELMO HOME
Octobers, 2011
PAGE 3
which is below the lower range of the General Plan Land Use designation. At the RH GMCP,
2.66 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.14 acre (net developable) property. However,
one single-family dwelling unit is guaranteed pursuant to the following General Plan Land Use
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 RH General Plan Land Use designation.
The one dwelling unit proposed is 1.66 dwelling units below the RH Growth Management yield
of 2.66 dwelling units used for the purpose of calculating the City's compliance with
Government Code Section 65863 and 7.86 dwelling units per acre below the lower range of the
General Plan Land Use designation. However, consistent with Program 3.8 of the City's
certified Housing Element, all of the dwelling units which were anticipated toward achieving the
City's share of the regional housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects,
including fractional units, are deposited in the City's Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess
dwelling units are available for allocation to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of
residential unit capacity and there are adequate properties identified in the Housing Element
allowing residential development with a unit capacity, including second dwelling units, adequate
to satisfy the City's share of the regional housing need.
B. Multiple-Family Residential Zone (R-3, CMC Chapter 21.16) and Beach Area
Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.82)
The project is required to comply with all applicable regulations and development standards of
the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the Multi-Family Residential (R-3) zone and the
Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ). The proposed project meets or exceeds all applicable
requirements of the R-3 zone and BAOZ as demonstrated in Table A below.

C. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the
Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203)
The project site is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and
the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203). The project's compliance
with each of these programs and ordinances is discussed below.

1. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program
The project consists of the construction of a new 2,924 square-foot, single-family residence on a
lot designated as Residential High Density (RH), by the Mello II Land Use Plan. The proposed
project is consistent with the RH Land Use designation as discussed in Section "A" above. The
proposed two-story residence will be compatible with surrounding one and two-story single-
family and multi-family residences and 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. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources
located on the property. In addition, the proposed single-family residence is not located in an
area of known geologic instability or flood hazards. 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) in that the project will adhere to the City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading
Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban run-off,
pollutants and soil erosion. No natural steep slopes (> 25% gradient) or native vegetation is
located on the subject property. In addition, the site is not located in an area prone to landslides,
or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
With this residential development of less than seven (7) units, the inclusionary housing
requirement 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.
E. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest
quadrant of the City. The project is subject to the provisions of the Growth Management
Ordinance, as contained in Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance. The construction of a new
single-family residence will not have any adverse impacts on public facilities. The project's
conformance with the requirements of the Growth Management regulations is detailed in Table B
below.

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) "New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures" of CEQA
exemptions (Class 3) exempts the construction of a single-family residence in a
residential zone from environmental review.
A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the Planning Director upon project approval.
