A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Pennit
Item No. V 1
P.C. AGENDA OF: January 4, 2012
Application complete date: October 17, 2011
Project Planner: Dan Halverson
Project Engineer: Tecla Levy
SUBJECT: CDP 11-18 - PALENSCAR RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a Coastal
Development Permit to allow for the construction of a new 2,035 square foot,
two-story single-family residence with an attached three car garage on a 0.33-acre
lot located at 3798 Highland Drive within the Mello II Segment of the Local
Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6854
APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 11-18 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 new 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
the 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 Califomia Coastal Commission.
There are no unresolved issues. The staff recommendation for approval with conditions is
supported by the following analysis.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The proposed project consists of a request for a Coastal Development Permit to construct a new
2,035 square foot, two-story, single-family residence with an attached three-car garage on a
previously approved subdivided 14,400 square foot lot (0.33 net acres) located at 3798 Highland
Drive.
Proiect Site/Setting:
On June 30, 2010 an Administrative Coastal Development Permit (CDP 08-15) and Minor Tract
Map (MS 08-04) were approved to subdivide two single family residential lots, totaling 2.85
acres in size, into three single-family residential lots (Lot 1 = 14,400 sq. ft., Lot 2 - 15,168 sq.
ft., and Lot 3 = 85,655 sq. ft.) and to demolish a single-family residence. There currently are two
single-family structures on site including one which would cross a proposed new lot line and has
CDP 11-18 - PALENSCAR RESIDENCE
January 4,2012
Page 2
been conditioned to be demolished prior to the recordation of the Final Map. The applicant is
currently processing the Final Map and is expected to record that document soon.
The site (Lot 1) consists of a previously disturbed lot with a one-story structure on the middle
section of the property. Topographically, the lot gently slopes down 8 feet from west to east and
does not support any native vegetation. The project site is surrounded by single-family
residences to the north, south, and west, and to the east is Valley Middle School.
Proposed Construction: The applicant is proposing to construct a new 2,035 square foot, two-
story, single-family residence with an attached 858 square foot three-car garage. The house will
have a maximum roof height of 22.5 feet with a proposed flat roof The "Modem Ranch Style"
architecture of the proposed home incorporates enhanced architectural features on all elevations
which include the following: flat rectangular fa9ade forms at differing horizontal planes coated
with a light brown stucco finish and a flat roof with parapets and projective eaves. Windows and
doors will be recessed and will differ in size and shape. As a part of the proposed project, the
driveway to access the side loaded garages will be off the northem edge of the lot.
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 only a minor grading permit
will be required.
Impact on Coastal Resources: The proposal comprises the development of a two-story, single
family residence on a previously disturbed, infill lot in a neighborhood that is currently
developed with single-family homes; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological
instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exists onsite; and the development does
not obstmct 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 proposed project is subject to the following ordinances, standards, and policies:
A. Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) General Plan Land Use designation;
B. Single-Family Residential Zone, (R-1-10,000, CMC Chapter 21.10);
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 and policies is discussed in the sections below.
A. Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) General Plan Land Use
The project site has a Residential Low Medium Density (RLM) General Plan Land Use
designation. The RLM Land Use designation allows for the development of single-family
CDP 11-18 - PALENSCAR RESIDENCE
January 4, 2012
Page 3
dwelling units at a density of 0-4 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management Control
Point (GMCP) of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. At the RLM GMCP, 1.06 dwelling units would be
permitted on this 0.33 acre (net developable) property. As one single family home is proposed at
a density of 3.03 dwelling units per acre, the project is consistent with the RLM General Plan
Land Use designation. The one dwelling unit proposed is 0.06 dwelling units below the RLM
Growth Management yield of 1.06 dwelling units used for the purpose of calculating the City's
compliance with Govemment Code Section 65863.
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. Single-Family Residential Zone, (R-1-10,000, CMC Chapter 21.10)
The project is required to comply with all applicable regulations and development standards of
the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the Single-Family Residential Zone (R-1-10,000,
CMC Chapter 21.10). The proposed project meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of the
R-1-10,000 zone 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:
CDP 11-18 - PALENSCAR RESIDENCE
January 4, 2012
Page 4
1. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program
The project consists of the constmction of a new 2,035 square foot, two-story, single-family
residence with an attached three-car garage on a lot designated as Residential Low-Medium
Density (RLM), by the Mello II Land Use Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the
RLM Land Use designation as discussed in Section "A" above. The proposed two-story single-
family residence will be compatible with the surrounding one and two story single-family
residential uses, and will not obstmct 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 Overlav 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 mn-off, pollutants and soil erosion. No natural steep slopes (> 25% gradient) or native
vegetation are 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 in-lieu 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 project's conformance
with the requirements of the Growth Management regulations is detailed in Table B below.

dwelling units are allowed on the .33-acre site. The proposed project is 0.06 units below the
Growth Management unit yield for this RLM designated property. Consistent with the General
Plan and Pohcy No. 43, 0.06 dwelling units will be deposited into the City's excess dwelling unit
bank.
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 environment.
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) "New Constmction or Conversion of Small Stmctures" of CEQA exemptions
(Class 3) exempts the constmction of a single family residence in a residential zone from
environmental review.
A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon project approval.
