A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Permit
P.C. AGENDA OF: July 16, 2008
ItemNo. 0
Application complete date: October I 0, 2006
Project Planner: Pam Drew
Project Engineer: Jeremy Riddle
SUBJECT: CDP 06-27N 06-02 -PHIPPS RESIDENCE -Request for a Coastal
Development Permit for the illegal construction of an existing 404-square-foot
partial enclosure over an existing patio area, a fireplace/chimney, a built-in
barbeque, and a block wall on the eastern portion of an existing single-family
residence; and a Variance to allow a zero foot front yard setback for the block
wall and fireplace/chimney and a 2.5 foot front yard setback for the patio cover
and other structures on Ocean Street, as measured from the existing property line.
The Variance would also allow the existing block wall and fireplace/chimney to
remain in the future public right-of-way of Ocean Street subject to the recordation
of an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) and the execution of an
Encroachment Agreement. The project is within the City's Coastal Zone located
at 3015 Ocean Street within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program
(LCP) and Local Facilities Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6389 and 6388
APPROVING V 06-02 and CDP 06-27 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein as being consistent with direction given to staff.
II. BACKGROUND
The applicant has constructed a 404 square-foot partial enclosure over an existing patio area,
which includes a fireplace/chimney, built in barbeque, and block wall in the front yard setback at
an existing single-family residence on a .20 acre site located on the west side of Ocean Street
between Carlsbad Village Drive and Oak A venue without a permit, in violation of Carlsbad
Municipal Code 18.04.015. A code enforcement case has been opened up on this violation.
Accordingly, the applicant is requesting a Coastal Development Permit for these improvements
in addition to a Variance to allow a zero foot front yard setback for the block wall and
fireplace/chimney and a 2.5 foot front yard setback for the patio cover and other structures on
Ocean Street, as measured from the existing property line. The Variance would also allow the
existing block wall and fireplace/chimney to remain in the future public right-of-way of Ocean
Street subject to the recordation of an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) and the execution of
an Encroachment Agreement.

16, 2008 Planning Commission meeting staff recommended denial of the CDP and Variance;
however, the Planning Commission requested to continue the item in order for staff to review the
issues raised by the Commission and consider options for this project. At the May 7, 2008
Planning Commission meeting staff presented four options for the Planning Commission's
consideration. The four options were: 1) approve the Variance and CDP; 2) deny the Variance
and CDP and abate all illegal structures (wall, fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque & roof
structure); 3) relocate all structures 2.5' to the west and out of the future public right-of-way; and
4) approve the Variance and CDP for the wall, fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque, however
have the applicant modify the roof structure to not be within the 2.5' future public right-of-way.
After some discussion, a majority of Commissioners voted for Option #4.
The Planning Commission continued the item and directed staff to return with a Resolution
approving the CDP and Variance consistent with Option #4. The Planning Commission also
requested that conditions of approval be added to require an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication
(IOD), an Encroachment Agreement for structures in the future public right-of-way, and require
the owner to get all required building permits for the structures.
The Planning Commission's approval with conditions is supported by the analysis as follows.
III. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
A. General Plan Residential High Density (RH) Land Use designation;
B. Multiple-Family Residential (R-3; Chapter 21.16 of the Zoning Ordinance)
C. Coastal Development Permit Regulations for the Mello II Local Coastal Program (LCP)
Segment, Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone, Coastal Shoreline Development
Overlay Zone (Chapters 21.201, 21.203, and 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance); and Beach
Area Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82 of the Zoning Ordinance);
D. Variance regulations (Chapter 21.50 of the Zoning Ordinance); and
E. Growth Management Regulations (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance).
Approval of this project is based on an analysis of 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,

regard to the following
specific criteria: Site design The applicant has stated that the wall
quality which may be and fireplace/chimney were
constructed around 1965. On February
indicated by the arrangement 5, 1980 the City Council adopted the
of the site for efficiency of recommendations of the engineering
circulation, or on-site and staff to have 50 feet as the minimum
ultimate public right-of-way on Ocean

etc. (Overall Land Use width at the south end of Ocean Street
is 45 feet and the north end is 40 feet. Pattern-Policy C.7.3). In order for the City to reclaim the
additional 5' for public right-of-way,
the City would need to acquire a 2.5'
10D from property owners on the east
and west sides at the southern end of
Ocean Street (5' on the east and west
sides at the northern end of Ocean
Street). The policy allows the City to
request the 10D from property owners
when the property owners apply for a
building permit or discretionary permit
from the City.
Since the wall and fireplace/chimney
were constructed prior to the City
Council adopting the recommendations
in the report, only these structures are
allowed to remain within the 2.5'
future public right-of-way. The patio
cover was constructed after the 1980
policy was adopted and therefore is not
allowed to remain within the future
public right-of-way.
The project is conditioned to require
an 10D, an Encroachment Agreement
for structures in the future public right-
of-way, and appropriate building
permits for the structures. The
Encroachment Agreement would allow
the City to have the encroachments
removed when the road is widened.
Therefore the structures would not
obstruct safe and efficient movement
of traffic and pedestrians within a
residential neighborhood.

as the residence was constructed in 1951 prior to the City's incorporation. The City's zoning
· code requires the side yards to be equal to 10% of the lot width. The lot width is 56 feet,
therefore, the side yards should be a minimum of 5.6 feet.

1. Mello II LCP Segment
The project site is located within the appeal area of the Coastal Zone and within the Mello
II Segment of the Local Coastal Program. The site is also located within and subject to
the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203), Coastal Shoreline
Development Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.204), and Beach Area Overlay Zone (Chapter
21.82) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
The project proposes the modification of an existing partial enclosure over an existing
patio area and the allowance of an existing fireplace/chimney, a built-in barbeque, and a
block wall on the eastern portion of an existing single-family residence. The subject site
has an LCP Land Use Plan designation of RH (Residential High Density; 15.0-23.0
du/ac), which allows for 19.0 dwelling units per acre at the Growth Management Control
Point. The proposed accessory structures associated with a single-family residence is
consistent with the land use type and density regulations for the property.
The proposed accessory structures to a single-family residence would be consistent with
the surrounding development of single-family structures. The additions will not obstruct
views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way since an
existing residence exists, 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. The proposed additions on the east side of the property are not located in
an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. No public opportunities for coastal
shoreline access are available from the subject site. The residentially designated site is
not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
2. Conformance with public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act.
The property is located adjacent to the shore; however, there are no opportunities for
vertical coastal access or recreational activities from the subject site as the site is
CDP 06-27 N 06-02 -PHIPPS RESIDENCE

Page 7
developed with a single family residence and there are no public access easements on the
lot for public beach access. There is adequate vertical public access to public beaches
located to the north and south of the property. Therefore, the project will not interfere
with the public's right to physical access to the sea.
3. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
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, 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 development is proposed in areas of steep slopes ( coastal bluff) and no
native vegetation is located on the ·subject property. The site is not located in an area
prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
4. Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development
Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance) to provide the public with the
right of lateral access to a minimum of twenty-five feet of dry sandy beach, in that the
project has been conditioned to provide the public with this access at all times of the year.
The new additions are constructed on the east side of the existing residence and are not
adjacent to any steep slopes.
5. Beach Area Overlay Zone
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Beach Area Overlay Zone (Chapter
21.82 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the building height
requirements of the Beach Area Overlay Zone. The maximum height may not exceed 30
feet and two stories if a minimum 3/12 roof pitch is provided or 24 feet and two stories if
less than a 3/12 roof pitch. The maximum height of the accessory structures are 11"
(fireplace chimney).
D. Variance Regulations
The site is 8,850 square feet in size with a lot width of 56 feet by approximately 150 feet. The
site is constrained by a coastal stringline setback and slopes on the west side of the lot, as well as
a requirement to dedicate an additional 2.5 feet of property on the east side for the future
widening of Ocean Street. The Variance request supported by a majority of the Planning
Commission is to allow a zero foot front yard setback for the block wall and fireplace/chimney
and a 2.5 foot front yard setback for the patio cover and other structures on Ocean Street, as
measured from the existing property line. The Variance would also allow the existing block wall
and fireplace/chimney to remain in the future public right-of-way of Ocean Street subject to the
recordation of an IOD and the execution of an Encroachment Agreement.
CDP 06-27 N 06-02 -PHIPPS RESIDENCE
July 16, 2008
Page 8
Zero foot front yard setback variance requests have been previously approved on lots located on
the west side of Ocean Street. When the wall and fireplace/chimney were constructed in 1965
they were located on the zero foot front yard setback. It was not until 1980 that City Council
adopted the recommendations of the engineering staff to have 50 feet as the minimum ultimate
public right-of-way on Ocean Street. However, the patio cover was constructed after the 1980
recommendations were adopted by the City Council. As mentioned previously, the structures are
currently on the owner's property and would only be within the future public right-of-way when
the City accepts the owner's IOD. This Variance would only allow the wall and
fireplace/chimney within the 2.5' future public right-of-way. Given the analysis below, staff can
make all the required findings for the granting of a variance.
TABLE D: VARIANCE FINDINGS TABLE
FINDING RESPONSE
That because of special circumstances That special circumstances do apply to the subject
applicable to the subject property, including property in that constraints on the lot include an
size, shape, topography, location or undevelopable coastal bluff, a coastal stringline
surroundings, the strict application of the setback, sloping topography and availability of
zoning ordinance deprives such property of only approximately 45' of developable flat pad,
privileges enjoyed by other property in the west of the 20' front yard setback. The wall and
fireplace/chimney were constructed on the zero vicinity and under identical zoning lot line similar to what other property owners
classification. enjoy on adjacent lots. Due to the City's road
widening policy, which requires a 2.5' IOD from
property owners at the south end of Ocean
Street, the structures would be in the future
public right-of-way. However, the acceptance of
the IOD and enforcement of the Encroachment
Agreement, as conditioned, enables the City to
require removal or relocation of encroaching
structures at such time the City determines to
widen Ocean Street.
On February 5, 1980 the City Council adopted
· the recommendations of the engineering staff to
have 50 feet as the minimum ultimate public
right-of-way on Ocean Street. Currently the
width at the south end of Ocean Street is 45 feet
and 40 feet at the north end. In order for the
City to obtain the additional 5' for public right-
of-way, the City would need to request a 2.5'
IOD from property owners on the east and west
side of Ocean Street.
The strict application of the zoning ordinance
would deprive said property of privileges enjoyed
by other property in the vicinity and under the
identical zoning classification in that similar
improvements are present on adjacent
properties.

E. Growth Management Regulations
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest
quadrant of the City. The accessory structures to a single-family residence (wall,
fireplace/chimney, patio cover, and built-in barbeque) will have no adverse impacts on public
facilities.

A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Permit
P.C. AGENDA OF: May 7, 2008
ItemNo. G)
Application complete date: October 10, 2006
Project Planner: Pam Drew 1
Project Engineer: Jeremy Riddle
SUBJECT: CDP 06-27N 06-02 -PHIPPS RESIDENCE -Request for dental of a Coastal
Development Permit for the illegal construction of an existing 503-square-foot
enclosure over an existing patio area, a fireplace/chimney, a built-in barbeque, and
a block wall on the eastern. portion of an existing single-family residence; and
denial of a Variance to allow the block wall and a portion of the patio cover and
fireplace/chimney to encroach up to 2.5 feet into the future public right-of-way of
Oce·an Street within the City's Coastal .Zone located at 3015 Ocean Street within
the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and· Local Facilities
Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6388 and 6389
DENYING CDP 06-27 and V 06-02 based __ ~pon the findings contained therein.
II. BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission received a staff presentation and heard public testimony for the
Phipps project at the April 16, 2008 Planning Commission meeting and continued the item so
staff had more time to review the issues and options for this project. Below are some issues and
possible options for the existing structures (wall, fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque, and roof)
located at 3015 Ocean Street.
III. PROJECT QUESTIONS
1. Question: Which structures were built with valid building permits and are considered legal
nonconforming to today's zoning code (i.e. wall, fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque)?
Discussion: A nonconforming structure is a structure that was built in conformance with
applicable codes at the time it was constructed, but, due to the adoption or change of zoning
ordinances, would no longer be allowed in the area which they are located or at the height it
is built. To be afforded the protections of Municipal Code Chapter 21.48, "Nonconforming
Buildings and Uses," a property owner would need to provide evidence that a nonconforming
structure or use did conform to applicable ordinances prior to the change in codes that made
the structure or use non-conforming. The structures in question in this application (wall,
fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque, and patio roof cover) are located within the required
front yard setback.
CDP 06-27N 06-02 -PHIP' RESIDENCE
May 7, 2008
PAGE2
Conclusion: The City's zoning code ordinance, since its adoption in 1956, generally prohibits
structures in the front yard setback of residentially zoned property from exceeding 42" in
height. The applicant stated during public testimony at the April 16, 2008 Planning
Commission meeting that he believes the walls and fireplace/chimney were built around
1965. The roof structure was built more recently. Since the structures never conformed to the
City's zoning code when they were constructed, the structures could not be considered legal
nonconforming today. Furthermore, the applicant has not provided evidence that any of the
improvements in question were legally built. Instead, the applicant is requesting this Variance
to make all the structures legal, conforming structures.
2. Question: Which structures were built without valid building permits and are considered
illegal (i.e. wall, fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque, roof structure)?
Discussion: All of the existing structures require a building permit. Illegal structures are
structures that are constructed without the required permit(s) (i.e. building, electrical,
discretionary). Even if the structures complied with the City's zoning ordinance at the time of ____ _
the construction, they would still be considered illegal if they were constructed without the
required City permits.
Conclusion: As stated in question #1 above, the subject improvement do not comply with the
zoning code today, nor would they have complied at the time of their construction.
Furthermore, the applicant has not provided any evidence that any of the structures in
question were built with the required building permits. Therefore, the City considers the
structures in question to be illegal.
3. Question: If the structures (walls, fireplace/chimney, and built-in barbeque) are considered
legal nonconforming and the patio cover was allowed to stay in its present form and location
would this be considered an expansion or intensification of a nonconforming structure?
Discussion: If the walls, fireplace/chimney, and built-in barbeque are considered legal
nonconforming, instead of illegal,· the roof structure would expand and/or intensify the
existing non-conforming structures, and is not allowed per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section
21.48.080 -Alteration, repair, or expansion of nonconforming uses. Specifically Section
21.48.080 states that, " ... a nonconforming use or building shall not be altered, improved,
reconstructed, restored, repaired, intensified, expanded or extended."
Conclusion: Absent satisfactory evidence that any of the structures in question were built
legally, Section 21.48.080 would not apply to this situation. However, if the Planning
Commission determines that the structures are nonconforming (versus illegal) then Section
21.48.080 would be relevant. Therefore, even if the Planning Commission determined the
previously existing improvements are legal nonconforming, enclosing the area with a roof
would not be allowed.

4. Question: Can the required variance findings be made?
Discussion: There are five required findings that must be made in order for a variance to be
approved. In general they are: 1-) that special circumstances exists on the lot; 2) the variance
shall not constitute a grant of special privileges; 3) the variance does not authorize a use or
activity not allowed in the zone; 4) the variance is consistent with the General Plan; and 5) in
the Coastal Zone, the variance must be consistent with the requirements of the certified local
coastal program.
Conclusion: Staff is unable to make all the required findings to approve a variance for the
structures to encroach up to 2.5 feet into the future public right-of-way as stated in the staff
report dated April 16, 2008. Because the City has not previously approved a variance to allow
encroachments into the future public right-of-way, allowing this encroachment would
constitute a grant of special privileges not enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity.
However, if the structures were removed from the 2.5 foot future public right-of-way and all
of the other structures are permitted, staff could m·ake all the required findings for a variance
to allow a zero front yard setback similar to what other property owners in the vicinity hav~--__ _
been granted in the past.
5. Question: If the project is approved as is or modified what conditions of approval should be
included with the variance to address any concerns the City or Planning Commissioner's may
have about the structures?
Discussion: If the Variance and Coastal Development Permit are approved, part of the wall,
fireplace/chimney and roof structure would be located within a 2.5 foot public right-of-way.
Staff would recommend conditions of approval to include the following: I) that the owner
sign an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication for the 2.5 feet to eventually widen Ocean Street to
50 feet; 2) enter into an Encroachment Agreement with the City for any structures in the
future right-of-way. This would require the owner, at her expense, to remove all structures
within the right-of-way at any time required by the City and would hold the City harmless
from liability arising from the encroachments; 3) apply for and obtain all necessary building
permits for all the unpermitted structures.
Conclusion: If the project is approved as is, the following conditions should be added: 1)
Irrevocable Offer of Dedication for 2.5 feet; 2), Encroachment Agreement, and 3) building
permits.
IV. PROJECT OPTIONS
1. Approve the Variance and CDP. If the required findings can be made, staff recommends the
Planning Commission approve the Variance and CDP for all the structures (wall,
fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque, and roof structure) making these structures legal and
conforming. Staff recommends that conditions of approval be added to require an Irrevocable
Offer of Dedication, Encroachment Agreement, and require the owner to get all required
building permits for all approved structures. ·
CDP 06-27N 06-02 -PHIPI RESIDENCE
May 7, 2008
PAGE4
2. Deny the Variance and CDP and abate all illegal structures-(wall, fireplace/chimney, built-in
barbeque & roof structure). Establish a timeframe by which all illegal structures would need
to be removed. The wall and built-in barbeque could be considered conforming if they were
reduced to a maximum height of 42" and received the proper permits. A building permit
would not be required for the wall; however, a building permit would be required for the gas
line to the barbeque. If the project is denied the City would not be able to get an IOD from the
owner; therefore, the wall would be located on the owner's property and not in the public
right-of-way. The other structures (roof and fireplace/chimney) would need to be removed
since they would not be able to conform to the 42" maximum height allowed in the front yard
setback.
3. Relocate all structures 2.5' to the west and out of the future public right-of-way. Approve the
Variance for a zero front yard setback and approve the CDP for all structures (wall,
fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque, and roof structure). Condition the project to require the
applicant to get all required building permits and for the owner to record an IOD for the 2.5'
future public right-of-way. Since all structures would be located out of the public right-of-
way, no Encroachment Agreement would be required.
4. Approve the Variance and CDP for the wall, fireplace/chimney, built-in barbeque, however
have the applicant modify the roof structure to not be within the 2.5' future public right-of-
way. Condition the project to require the applicant to get all required building permits. Have
the owner of the property record an IOD for the 2.5' future public right-of-way and sign an
Encroachmenf Agreement for all encroachments into the 2.5' future public right-of-way. The
Encroachment Agreement would allow the City to have the encroachments removed when
the road is widened.
V. CONCLUSION:
After reviewing the options, staff still cannot make all the required findings to support a variance
for the structures in the future public right-of-way. Staff can make the findings and support a
variance for Option #3. If the structures were removed from the future public right-of-way
(relocated 2.5 feet to the west) staff could support a variance for a zero front yard setback. Staff
would have to come back to the Planning Commission with a new resolution making the required
findings for a variance and adding conditions to the project. However, if the Planning
Commission chooses an option that allows the structures to remain in the future public right-of-
way, staff would request that the Planning Commission provide general direction to staff
regarding the justification proposed to make the required findings for the variance.

I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6388 and 6389
DENYING CDP 06-27 and V 06-02 based upon the findings contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The applicant has constructed a 503 square-foot enclosure over an existing patio area, which
includes a fireplace, built in barbeque, and block wall in the front yard setback at an existing
single-family residence on a .20 acre site located on the west side of Ocean Street between
Carlsbad Village Drive and Oak A venue without a permit in violation of Carlsbad Municipal
Code 18.04.015. A code enforcement case has been. opened up on this violation. Accordingly,
the applicant is requesting a Coastal Development Permit for these improvements in addition to a
Variance to allow the illegal structures to encroach up to 2.5 feet into the future public right-of-
way of Ocean Street.
Staff has previously recommended support of front yard setback variances up to the front
property lines for other residential properties along Ocean Street. However, this existing
encroachment extends beyond the property line and into the future right-of-way of Ocean Street,
which no other property in the vicinity has been allowed to build into the existing or future
public right-of-way. In addition, upon future road widening the structures in the right-of-way
could preclude safe and efficient movement of traffic and pedestrians. For these reasons staff
cannot recommend support in this case. The project is located in the coastal zone within the
appeal area of the California Coastal Commission. The decision of the Planning Commission
would first be appealed to the City Council and then to the California Coastal Commission. The
project is subject to the R-3 Multiple-Family Residential (Chapter 21.16) and the Beach Area
Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82) standards of the zoning ordinance.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Site/Setting: The subject lot is located on the west side of Ocean Street between
Carlsbad Village Drive and Oak A venue as shown on the attached location map. The site is
8,850 square feet in size, and is considered a standard lot in the R-3 zone. Topographically, the
lot slopes downward from east to west (towards the beach). The lot is currently developed with a
single-family residence. The western slope contains mainly ice plant and other non-native plant
species. There is no sensitive vegetation, such as coastal sage scrub or chaparral habitat on the
site. The site has a Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use designation, is zoned
Multiple-Family Residential (R-3), and is located within the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ).
Surrounding properties to the north and south are also zoned R-3 and have a General Plan
designation of RH. The Pacific Ocean is located to the west and a timeshare, designated and
zoned Village (V) and VR (Village Redevelopment) respectively, is located to the east.
Proposed Residential Construction (already constructed without permits): The applicant is
requesting approval of a Coastal Development Permit and Variance to retroactively approve an
illegally constructed 503 square-foot enclosure over an existing patio; a 7' 2" high block privacy
wall along Ocean Street; a fireplace and I I-foot high chimney; and a built-in barbeque at a·-·----
single-family residence.
The existing wall, fireplace, and the eastern portion of the patio cover encroach into the future
Ocean Street public right-of-way by 2.5 feet. Accordingly, the applicant has requested a variance
for a -2.5 -foot frqnt yard setback. This is discussed in Section IV C of this report. For reference,
Ocean Street is planned to have an ultimate street right-of-way of 50-feet. In order to increase
the width of Ocean Street, at the southern end of the street where the subject property is located,
the City would need a 2.5-foot Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) from owners on the west
and east sides of Ocean Street. The City can request an IOD when the property owner applies for
a discretionary permit.
Staff researched approved plans for other properties on Ocean Street and could not find any
record that the City has allowed other, above grade, structures to encroach into the existing or
future right-of-way. Staff only found three at grade or below grade projects that encroach into
this area (pavers for a driveway apron, a concrete drainage swell, and an underground storm
drain system). The owners were required to apply for encroachment permits for the
improvements in the right-of-way. Staff cannot recommend support of this variance request
because the location of above grade structures in the right-of-way would constitute a grant of
special privilege inconsistent with the other properties in the vicinity and zone, and upon future
road widening the structures in the right-of-way could preclude safe and efficient movement of
traffic and pedestrians and, therefore, would not be consistent with the Development Standards
of the Zoning Code and the General Plan. ·
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
A. General Plan Residential High Density (RH) Land Use designation;
B. Multiple-Family Residential (R-3; Chapter 21.I6 of the Zoning Ordinance);
C. Variance regulations (Chapter 21.50 of the Zoning Ordinance);

Beach Area Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82 of the Zoning Ordinance); and
E. Growth Management Regulations (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance).
The recommendation for denial of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable City regulations and policies and determining inconsistencies
would result from this project. The project's compliance, or non-compliance, wjth each of the

requirement to dedicate an additional 2.5 feet of property on the east side for the future widening
of Ocean Street. The applicant is requesting a reduction in the front yard setback from 20 feet to
-2.5 feet, and to encroach up to 2.5 feet into the future public right-of-way. Zero foot front yard
setback variance requests have been previously approved on lots located on the west side of
Ocean Street. However, no other above grade structures have been approved within the future
public right-of-way. Given the below analysis, staff cannot make all the required findings for the
granting of a variance.

Table D: VARIAN CE FINDINGS TABLK CONTINUED
FINDING
That the variance is consistent with the general
purpose and intent of the general plan and any
applicable specific or master plans.
In addition, in the coastal zone, that the
variance is consistent with and implements the
requirements of the certified local coastal
program and that the variance does not reduce
or in any manner adversely affect the
protection of coastal resources as specified in
the zones included in this title, and that the
variance implements the purposes of zones
adopted to implement the local coastal program
land use plan.
D. Review of Required Coastal Findings
RESPONSE
That the variance is not consistent with the
general purpose and intent of the general plan
and any applicable specific or master plans in
that the proposed structures would be in the
future public right-of-way, which is not in
conformance with the development
standards in the R-3 zone. In addition, upon
future road widening the structures in the
right-of-way could preclude safe and
efficient movement of traffic and pedestrians
within a heavily traveled residential
nei2hborhood.
That the variance is not consistent with and
does· not implement the requirements of the
certified local coastal program (LCP) in that
the granting of a variance to encroach into -·-
the public right-of-way is not consistent with
the City's Zoning Ordinance, which
implements the LCP, and the development
standards for the R-3 zone, which would not
be consistent with Chapter 21.202.010 of the
Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay
Zone, in that the intent and purpose of the
overlay zone is to provide for control over
development and land use along the coastline
to "promote public safety and access." Upon
road widening the project has the potential
to reduce the available parking in the area
due to the narrowing of the road in front of
the property and may preclude safe and
efficient movement of traffic and pedestrians
within a heavily traveled residential
neighborhood. Therefore, the project would
not be consistent with Chapter 21.82.010 (2)
and (3) of the Beach Area Overlay Zone, in
that the intent and purpose of the overlay
zone is to "provide for adequate parking as
needed by residential projects" and to
"ensure that adequate public facilities will
exist to serve the beach area."
The project is subject to the following Coastal Zone Regulations: Coastal Development Permit
Regulations for the Mello II Local Coastal Program (LCP) Segment, Coastal Resource
Protection Overlay Zone, Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone (Chapters 21.201,
CDP 06-27 N 06-02 -PHIP' RESIDENCE
February 20, 2008
Page 7
21.203, and 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance); and Beach Area-Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82 of
the Zoning Ordinance).
The granting of a CDP and a Variance for structures to encroach into the public right-of-way
would not be consistent with Chapter 21.202.0 IO of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay
Zone, in that the intent and purpose of the overlay zone is to provide for control over
development and land use along the coastline to "promote public safety and access." In addition,
the project would not be consistent with Chapter 21.82.010 (2) and (3) of the Beach Area
Overlay Zone, in that the intent and purpose of the overlay zone is to "provid.e for adequate
parking as needed by residential projects" and to "ensure that adequate public facilities will exist
to serve the beach area."
E. Growth Management Regulations
The proposed project is located within the L~cal Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest
quadrant of the City. The encroachment of structures-up to 2.5 feet into the future public right-
of-way may have an adverse impact on public facilities because upon future road widening the
structures in the right-of-way have the potential to reduce the available parking in the area due to-·-· ---
the narrowing of the road in front of the property and may preclude safe and efficient movement
of traffic and pedestrians within a heavily traveled residential neighborhood.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
-
Should the proposal be denied, the project would be statutorily exempt from environmental
review pursuant to Section 15270(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, which states, "CEQA does
not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves."

3015 Ocean St.
Carlsbad, Ca
Justification For Variance -Variance Application
1.) Special Circumstances that would adequatelv iusti-fv this application:
The topography and general site location cf the subject parcel is in itself a unique
situation and location. The front of the parcel joins Ocean St., downtown Carlsbad. The
rear of the parcel/ property line is located on the existing High Tide line of the Pacific
Ocean.
Directly adjacent to the subject parcel is a large multi-story time-share, across the
street on the comer of Ocean St. and Carlsbad Village Dr. The guests that stay in the
rooms located along Ocean St. have a direct line of Site into the current courtyard,
offering very-little privacy or security to the owners of the subject parcel.
Yehicles, bikes and pedestrians travel this road frequently as it is a frontage road
to the Pacific Ocean and a source of congregation.
We believe the proposed patio cover will provide the privacy and security enjoyed
by other property owners in the vicinity and identical zoning.
2.) Variance is consistent with properties in the vicinity:
The subject parcel is located along a block of Ocean St. where variance
applications of similar descriptions have been applied for and approved.
3.) New use or activity not otherwise expresslv authorized bv the zone regulations:
There are no changes to the existing use and there are no new proposed activities.
No current uses or activities are inconsistent with current zoning regulations for the
subject site.
4.) The granting of this variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent o(the
current General Plan and any applicable Master Plans.
The current zone is R-3 (Residential Use), Beach Area Overlay. The proposed
patio cover does not inhibit the approved uses or activities of surrounding properties in
the vicinity. Properties in the vicinity have submitted a variance application and have
been approved for projects with very similar descriptions. The history and activity of
properties in the vicinity is consistent with this application.

I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6388 and 6389
DENYING CDP 06-27 and V 06-02 based upon the findings contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The applicant has constructed a 503 square-foot enclosure over an existing patio area, which
includes a fireplace, built in barbeque, and block wall in the front yard setback at an existing
single-family residence on a .20 acre site located on the west side of Ocean Street between
Carlsbad Village Drive and Oak A venue without a permit in violation of Carlsbad Municipal
Code 18.04.015. A code enforcement case has been opened up on this violation. Accordingly,
the applicant is requesting a Coastal Development Permit for these improvements in addition to a
Variance to allow the illegal structures to encroach up to 2.5 feet into the future public right-of-
way of Ocean Street.
Staff has previously recommended support of front yard setback variances up to the front
property lines for other residential properties along Ocean Street. However, this existing
encroachment extends beyond the property line and into the future right-of-way of Ocean Street,
which no other property in the vicinity has been allowed to build into the existing or future
public right-of-way. In addition, upon future road widening the structures in the right-of-way
could preclude safe and efficient movement of traffic and pedestrians. For these reasons staff
cannot recommend support in this case. The project is located in the coastal zone within the
appeal area of the California Coastal Commission. The decision of the Planning Commission
would first be appealed to the City Council and then to the California Coastal Commission. The
•
•
project is subject to the R-3 Multiple-Family Residential (Chapter 21.16) and the Beach Area •
Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82) standards of the zoning ordinance.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Site/Setting: The subject lot is located on the west side of Ocean Street between
Carlsbad Village Drive and Oak A venue as shown on the attached location map. The site is
8,850 square feet in size, and is considered a standard lot in the R-3 zone. Topographically, the
lot slopes downward from east to west (towards the beach). The lot is currently developed with a
single-family residence. The western slope contains mainly ice plant and other non-native plant
species. There is no sensitive vegetation, such as coastal sage scrub or chaparral habitat on the
site. The site has a Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use desig.p.ation, is zoned
Multiple-Family Residential (R-3), and is located within the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ).
Surrounding properties to the north and south are also zoned R-3 and have a General Plan
designation of RH. The Pacific Ocean is located to the west and a timeshare, designated and
zoned Village (V) and VR (Village Redevelopment) respectively, is located to the east.
Proposed Residential Construction (already constructed without permits): The applicant is
requesting approval of a Coastal Development Permit and Variance to retroactively approve an
illegally constructed 503 square-foot enclosure over an existing patio; a 7' 2" high block privacy
wall along Ocean Street; a fireplace and 11-foot high chimney; and a built-in barbeque at--a-~-
single-family residence.
The existing wall, fireplace, and the eastern portion of the patio cover encroach into the future
Ocean Street public right-of-way by 2.5 feet. Accordingly, the applicant has requested a variance
for a -2.5 -foot fr~mt yard setback. This is discussed in Section IV C of this report. For reference,
Ocean Street is planned to have an ultimate street right-of-way of 50-feet. In order to increase
the width of Ocean Street, at the southern end of the street where the subject property is located,
the City would need a 2.5-foot Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) from owners on the west
and east sides of Ocean Street. The City can request an IOD when the property owner applies for
a discretionary permit.
Staff researched approved plans for other properties on Ocean Street and could not find any
record that the City has allowed other, above grade, structures to encroach into the existing or
future right-of-way. Staff only found three at grade or below grade projects that encroach into
this area (pavers for a driveway apron, a concrete drainage swell, and an underground storm
drain system). The owners were required to apply for encroachment permits for the
improvements in the right-of-way. Staff cannot recommend support of this variance request
because the location of above grade structures in the right-of-way would constitute a grant of
special privilege inconsistent with the other properties in the vicinity and zone, and upon future
road widening the structures in the right-of-way could preclude safe and efficient movement of
traffic and pedestrians and, therefore, would not be consistent with the Development Standards
of the Zoning Code and the General Plan.
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
A. General Plan Residential High Density (RH) Land Use designation;
B. Multiple-Family Residential (R-3; Chapter 21.16 of the Zoning Ordinance);
C. Variance regulations (Chapter 21.50 of the Zoning Ordinance);

Beach Area Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82 of the Zoning Ordinance); and
E. Growth Management Regulations (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance).
The recommendation for denial of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable City regulations and policies and determining inconsistencies
would result from this project. The project's compliance, or non-compliance, with each of the
above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.

Zone, in that the intent and purpose of the
overlay zone is to provide for control over
development and land use along the coastline
to "promote public safety and access." Upon
road widening the project has the potential
to reduce the available parking in the area
due to the narrowing of the road in front of
the property and may preclude safe and
efficient movement of traffic and pedestrians
within a heavily traveled residential
neighborhood. Therefore, the project would
not be consistent with Chapter 21.82.010 (2)
and (3) of the Beach Area Overlay Zone, in
that the intent and purpose of the overlay
zone is to "provide for adequate parking as
needed by residential projects" and to
"ensure that adequate public facilities will
exist to serve the beach area."
D . Review of Required Coastal Findings
The project is subject to the following Coastal Zone Regulations: Coastal Development Permit
Regulations for the Mello II Local Coastal Program (LCP) Segment, Coastal Resource
Protection Overlay Zone, Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone (Chapters 21.201,
r-

21.203, and 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance); and Beach Area Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.82 of
the Zoning Ordinance).
The granting of a CDP and a Variance for structures to encroach into the public right-of-way
would not be consistent with Chapter 21.202.010 of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay
· Zone, in that the intent and purpose of the overlay zone is to provide for control over
development and land use along the coastline to "promote public safety and access." In addition,
the project would not be consistent with Chapter 21.82.010 (2) and (3) of the Beach Area
Overlay Zone, in that the intent and purpose of the overlay zone is to "provi~e for adequate
parking as needed by residential projects" and to "ensure that adequate public facilities will exist
to serve the beach area."
E. Growth Management Regulations
The proposed project is located within the Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest
quadrant of the City. The encroachment of structures up to 2.5 feet into the future public right-
of-way may have an adverse impact on public facilities because upon future road widening the
structures in the right-of-way have the potential to reduce the available parking in the area due t-o--~-
the narrowing of the road in front of the property and may preclude safe and efficient movement
of traffic and pedestrians within a heavily traveled residential neighborhood.
V. ENVIRONMENT AL REVIEW
Should the proposal be denied, the project would be statutorily exempt from environmental
review pursuant to Section 15270(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, which states, "CEQA does
not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves."

Justification For Variance -Variance Application
1.) Special Circumstances that would adequately ;usti-fv this application:
The topography and general site location of the subject parcel is in itself a unique
situation and location. The front of the parcel joins Ocean St., downtown Carlsbad.· The
rear of the parcel/ property line is located on the existing High Tide line of the Pacific
Ocean.
Directly adjacent to the subject parcel is a large multi-story time-share, across the
street on the corner of Ocean St. and Carlsbad Village Dr. The guests that stay in the
rooms located along Ocean St. have a direct line of Site into the current courtyard,
offering very-little privacy or security to the owners of the subject parcel.
Vehicles, bikes and pedestrians.travel this road frequently as it is a frontagefoad
to the Pacific Ocean and a source of congregation.
We believe the proposed patio cover will provide the privacy and security enjoyed
by other property owners in the vicinity and identical zoning.
2.) Variance is consistent with properties in the vicinitv:
The subject parcel is located along a block of Ocean St. where variance
applications of similar descriptions have been applied for and approved.
3.) New use or activity not otherwise expresslv authorized bv the zone regulations:
There are no changes to the existing use and there are no new proposed activities.
No current uses or activities are inconsistent with current zoning regulations for the
subject site.
4.) The granting of this variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the
current General Plan and any applicable Master Plans.
The current zone is R-3 (Residential Use), Beach Area Overlay. The proposed
patio cove·r does not inhibit the approved uses or activities of surrounding properties in
the vicinity. Properties in the vicinity have submitted a variance application and have
been approved for projects with very similar descriptions. The history and activity of
properties in the vicinity is consistent with this application .
