RE: CDP 2022-0010 (DEV2021-0153}-MARTIN RESIDENCE
Dear Mr. Ragan,
{'city of
Carlsbad
The city has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit to allow for
the development of an attached 788-square-foot accessory dwelling unit within a new 6,108-square-foot
single-family residence (CDP 2022-0008/HMP 2022-0006) on a 26,811 square foot lot located on the west
side of Buena Vista Circle (APN 155-221-05-00) within the appeals jurisdiction of the California Coastal
Commission.
It is the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 2022-0010 (DEV2021-0153} -MARTIN
RESIDENCE, 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 ofChapter
3 of the Coastal Act, in that as part of the development of the primary dwelling (CDP 2022-0008/HMP
2022-0006), an irrevocable offer of dedication for a 25-foot-wide lateral public access way is
included on the project exhibits upland of the environmentally sensitive areas and has also been
made a condition of approval in order to provide the public with the right of lateral access along
the Buena Vista Lagoon edge.
3. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the attached
accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is being proposed within and developed together as a part of a new
single-family residence (CDP 2022-0008/HMP 2022-0006), the construction of which 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 run-off, pollutants
and soil erosion; and will not involve construction on undevelopable steep slopes or native
vegetation since they are not located on the subject property and the site is not located in an area

4. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified Local
Coastal Program and all applicable policies, in that the project site is designated for residential uses,
and the attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is being proposed within and developed together
with a new single-family residence (CDP 2022-0008/HMP 2022-0006), the development of which is
consistent with the Mello II Land Use designation of R-4, Residential. Additionally, the project
provides erosion control measures that protect down slope coastal resources; no agricultural
activities, geological instability, flood hazard, or coastal access opportunities exist onsite; and the
development does not obstru.ct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-
way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. A small amount {0.02-acres) of
freshwater marsh exists onsite adjacent to the lagoon but this habitat will not be impacted.
5. 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.
6. 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) of the State CEQA Guidelines and
will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment. More specifically, CEQA Section
15303(a)-New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, is a Class 3 exemption that includes
the construction of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in a residential zone. Consistent with the
section, the project is proposing to construct an attached 788-square-foot ADU within a new single-
family residence on a residentially zoned property. In making this determination, the City Planner
has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines do not apply to
this project.
