SUBJECT: CDP 12-03 – MAGNOLIA AVENUE RESIDENCE 3 – Request for approval
of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the construction of a new 2,948

I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6873
APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 12-03 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 residence 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 California 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 approval of a Coastal Development Permit to
allow for the construction of a new 2,948 square foot single-family residence with an attached
three-car garage on a 0.26-acre lot located at 1377 Magnolia Avenue.
Project Site/Setting:
The 0.26-acre, rectangular-shaped parcel is accessed via a panhandle and generally located on
the south side of Magnolia Avenue, west of the intersection of Highland Drive and Magnolia
Avenue, within the Mello II Segment of the LCP and Local Facilities Management Zone 1. 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.
The site consists of a vacant infill lot located as shown on the attached location map and was
created by the 1369 Magnolia Avenue Parcel Map (PCD 10-02/CDP 10-28/MS 10-04). The lot

(JURMP) to avoid increased urban run-off, pollutants and soil erosion. No development is
proposed in areas of steep slopes (≥ 25% gradient) and no 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
All applicable inclusionary housing fees have been paid prior to the recordation of the
subdivision map (MS 10-04).
E. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest
quadrant of the City and is subject to the provisions of the Growth Management Ordinance, as
contained in Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance. There are no special conditions or
requirements within the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan that apply to this single-
family residential project. However, the project is conditioned to pay the appropriate public
facility fees, water, and sewer connection fees, traffic impact fees, and school fees. All facility
improvements necessary to accommodate the development will be in place prior to, or
concurrent with development. Therefore, the project is consistent with the Zone 1 Local
Facilities Management Plan. 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.
