SUBJECT: CD 2024-0001 (DEV2021-0096) -MADDOX PROPOSED MINOR SUBDIVISION
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, CD 2024-
0001, which is a modification to CDP 2022-0025/MS 2023-0001, a Coastal Development Permit and Minor
Subdivision to subdivide one lot into three lots and associated pad grading at 4208 Highland Drive (APN
206-160-05-00). The original project, CDP 2022-0025/MS 2023-0001, was approved by the City Planner
on September 22, 2023.
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of
the findings below and APPROVES this request. The proposed modifications include:
• Modify the conceptual building footprints and associated impervious area for the future
structures. Although the conceptual building footprints for Parcels 2 and 3 have increased in
size, the area of the building pad and pad elevations remain the same for each lot. In addition,
the total combined area of the impervious surface is below 5,000 square feet.
For a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all the following findings must be
made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility, or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety, or function in that no changes to the height of
the building pads are proposed and the lot sizes remain the same. The proposed changes are
limited to modifications to the conceptual building footprints.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the revisions to the building
footprints for Parcels 2 and 3 remain compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. No
changes are proposed to the height of the building pads.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property in that no
additional lots are proposed, the lots sizes remain unchanged, and the lot lines are not proposed
to be adjusted.
4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit.
5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development in that the
residential building pads are in the same location and the lot sizes remain the same.

6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code in that minor changes are proposed to the building footprints and the pad
area/height, maximum retaining wall heights and lot sizes remain the same.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation.
8} The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10} The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved in that the revisions to the
conceptual building footprints are minor in nature.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
This decision may be appealed by you or any other member of the public to the Planning Commission
within ten days of the date of this letter. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Planning Division
at 1635 Faraday Avenue in Carlsbad, along with a payment of $900. The filing of such appeal within such
time limit shall stay the effective date of the order of the City Planner until such time as a final decision
on the appeal is reached. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel to contact Shannon
Harker at (442) 339-2621.
