It is the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 2022-0032 (DEV2022-0108) -R FAMILY ADU, is consistent with the city's applicable Coastal Development Regulations (Chapters 21.201 -21.205) and with all other applicable city ordinances and policies. The City Planner, therefore, APPROVES this request based upon the following: 1. That the proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a Minor Coastal Development Permit. 2. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that the detached ADU is not located on a property adjacent to a body of water. Therefore, no opportunities for coastal access are available from the subject site, nor are public recreation areas required of the project. 3. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the detached ADU is not located on a property adjacent to a body of water, and the entire lot is already disturbed and developed with a single-family home, attached garage, and mature landscaping. 4. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Melo II Segment Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the properties are designated R-4, Residential 0-4 du/ac and R-1, One-Family Residential, which allows for residential development including a single- family-dwelling and ADUs. The project proposes the construction of a 1,200-square-foot detached ADU. The addition of the ADU is consistent with the surrounding residential development, which consists of a mixture of one and two-story residential structures. The proposed project 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 Community Development Department Planning Division J 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 j 442-339-2600 www.carlsbadca.gov CDP 2022-0032 (DEV2022-0108)-R FAMILY ADU July 27, 2022 Page 2 are there any sensitive resources located on the property. Furthermore, the proposed ADU is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards. 5. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (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 runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. No development beyond the lot line adjustment is proposed. No undevelopable steep slopes or native vegetation exist on the subject property and the developed site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction. No habitat buffers or geologic stability setbacks are required of the property. 6. That the request for a minor coastal development permit was adequately noticed at least ten (10) working days before the date of this decision pursuant to Section 21.201.0S0(B) and (C) of the Carlsbad Coastal Development Regulations. 7. That the City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303(a)-New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures -of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment.
