There are no special front or rear yard setback applicable to this R-I zoned
property. The rear setback would not be relevant since the house must be
setback from the top of bluff for geotechnical safety. Maximum lot coverage
is 40 percent.
The Engineering Department would entertain a Future Improvement
Agreement for Carlsbad Boulevard however grading preparation of the
frontage to the ultimate grade would likely be required.
The standard R-1 height maximums, 30 feet to the peak of the roof, would
apply to development on this lot.
From an Engineering Department perspective, drainage would ideally follow
its existing pattern to the greatest extent possible. Should the Coastal
Commission refuse to allow drainage to travel westward, the Engineering
Department would be willing to explore alternatives, including pumping to
Carlsbad Boulevard.
The amount of bluff setback will be based upon geotechnical investigations
and should be in accordance with the Coastal Commission's Geologic
Stability and Blufftop Guidelines. Allowed uses within that setback cannot
be fully determined before the geotechnical investigations are reviewed. It is

likely that no structures, including pools, would be allowed. Perimeter
fencing would likely be allowed.
Attached is a copy of the Grading Ordinance. Generally, excavations
exceeding four feet in depth, fills exceeding three feet in depth, or cut and fill
exceeding 100 cubic yards per each 8,000 square feet of graded area require
permits. If the only grading required is for building foundation preparation,
and the building pad is not lowered four feet or raised three feet, no grading
permit should be required.
The development fees for a 5,000 square foot house with a 400 square foot
garage were transmitted to you at the meeting of August 29, 1996 with
Mike Grim of the Planning Department.
The proposed development will be located on top of the slope and therefore
out of the Coastal High Hazard area as defined by Section 21.1 10.050 of the
Zoning Ordinance. No Special Use Permit would be required.
A Hillside Development Permit is only required when there exists a 15 foot
elevation difference and a 15% grade over the area proposed for
development. According to the submitted topographical information, the
portion of the site on top of the bluff does not meet these criteria. Since no
development is proposed on the bluff face, no Hillside Development Permit
should be required. Topographical information will be confirmed upon
application for grading or building permit.
Development of a single family home on the property will require the
payment of an inclusionary housing impact fee. The current fee amount is
$2,925.00 per dwelling unit.
1 1 /I 5. The Mello II LCP - Geologic, Floodplain and Shoreline Hazard Areas section
is attached for reference.
12/14. Shoreline access requirements would be a function of historic and current
access routes. Should the property to the south develop a coastal access
stairway, the responsibility for the subject property to provide access might
be relieved. It is recommended that you consult the Coastal Commission
regarding potential shoreline access issues.
13. Soil erosion and sediment control are regulated through the Grading
Ordinance or through building permit inspections.

16. The copy of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone that you
submitted to Mike Grim of the Planning Department is not applicable to your
development. Upon effective certification of the Carlsbad LCP, there will be
Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay restrictions in the implementing
ordinances. A copy of this document is attached.
17. No sand replenishment programs that would assess coastal properties or
otherwise require contributions are in place or planned.
Please contact Mike Grim at (61 9) 438-1 161, extension 4499 if you have any
questions.
