Single Family Coastal Development Permit
Item No. ( 4
P.C. AGENDA OF: April 7,1999
Application complete date: October 5, 1998
Project Planner: Van Lynch
Project Engineer: Michele Masterson
SUBJECT: CDP 98-67/HDP 98-14 - GILSON RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a
Negative Declaration, Coastal Development Permit, and Hillside Development
Permit to allow for the construction of a single family residence with detached
garage within the City's Coastal Zone, located on the west side of Holly Brea
Lane, south of Alder Avenue within Local Facilities Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4511
APPROVING the Negative Declaration, and Planning Commission Resolutions No., 4513 and
4512 APPROVING the Coastal Development Permit and Hillside Development Permit 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 home 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 policies and implementation. The project requires a Hillside Development
Permit because of the sites topography. There are no unresolved issues. The staff recommended
approval with conditions is supported by the analysis as follows.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Site/Setting: The project consists of developing an infill lot located on the west side of
Holly Brea Lane south of Alder Avenue as shown on the attached Location Map. The lot, with
an area of .418 acres (18,208 square feet), has an even eighteen percent slope to the east and is
void of any sensitive vegetation.
Proposed Residential Construction: A new two story residential structure with 2,856 square feet
of living area and a detached two car garage and guest house, both of which have 480 square feet.
Proposed Grading: Because the home and garage/guest house will be built with a stem wall
foundation system, only 200 cubic yards of grading is proposed. A grading permit will be
required for this project. Most of the grading required is for the driveway and garage/guest
house.

Review of Required Coastal Findings
1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies.
The project is located in the Mello II Local Coastal Program (LCP) Segment.
The project proposes the construction of a single family residence in an area designated
for single family development. The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for
Residential Low-Medium density development.
2. Coastal Overlay Zones.
The subject site is located in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone. The project
is consistent with the provisions of this Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning
Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the City's Master Drainage and Storm Water
Quality Management Plan, and Grading Ordinance to avoid increased runoff and soil
erosion, the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated
erosion, floods or liquefaction, and the site does not contain prime/non prime agricultural
lands. The property has 18% slopes which face the east. The slopes do not support any
endangered plant/animal species and/or coastal sage scrub and chaparral plant
communities and therefore are not considered dual criteria slopes.
The project will not require off-site drainage improvements and the existing drainage
structures are adequate to accommodate any increase in drainage. Grading for the site
will be limited to the summer construction season and the project will be conditioned to
provide erosion control measures.

Hillside Development Regulations
The project contains slopes of 15% or greater and an elevation differential of 15', therefore, a
Hillside Development Permit is required pursuant to the City's Hillside Development regulations
prior to amendment. The site has an even 18% downward slope to the east. Because the home
and garage/guest house are being built on a stem wall foundation, there is minimal grading
required for the site. The only grading required is for the driveway and detached garage. The
grading is estimated to be 200 cubic yards (80 cu. yds/acre) which is within the acceptable
volume of 7,999 cubic yards/acre.

No slopes created, therefore
no setback provided.
The proposed project can be found in compliance with the proposed hillside development
ordinance. The project, with it's stem wall construction, does not require significant amounts of
grading. The project will not create manufactured slope conditions which would have to be
contour graded.
Affordable housing requirement
Because the property was subdivided after the date the inclusionary ordinance was codified, the
project is conditioned to pay an in-lieu contribution.
V.ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City has received its annual Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Report. The Report
has recorded an unanticipated intersection "level of service" (LOS) failure at Palomar Airport
Road (PAR) and El Camino Real (ECR) during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. This
potentially creates a changed circumstance negating reliance on previous environmental
documentation. Pursuant to §15162 of the CEQA Guidelines a lead agency must prepare a
"Subsequent" environmental documentation if substantial evidence (i.e., the recorded
intersection failure) determines that a changed circumstance exists. However, case law has
cCDP 98-67/HDP 98-14 - GILSON RESIDENCE
April 7, 1999
Page 4
interpreted this section of the CEQA Guidelines to not require the preparation of a "Subsequent
EIR" if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the identified impacts to a level of
insignificance.
A mitigation measure has been identified which, if implemented, will bring the peak hours LOS
into the acceptable range. The mitigation measure involves construction of two dual right turn
lanes-northbound to eastbound and westbound to northbound. This project has been conditioned
to pay its fair share of the intersection "short-term improvements" thereby, guaranteeing
mitigation to a level of insignificance.
In light of the above, the Planning Director has determined that this project would not have a
significant impact on the environment. This decision was based upon findings of the
Environmental Impact Assessment Part II. A Negative Declaration was issued by the Planning
Director on November 16,1998.
