The purpose of this letter is to provide you with additional information about the duplex on 4549
Cove Drive. You have received a correspondence from Van Lynch of the Planning Department
which quotes Title 20 of the Subdivision Ordinance. You have requested additional information
regarding City Codes and the Subdivision Map Act which relate to the property in question. It
is the intention of this correspondence to answer those questions.
A building permit was applied and received for a duplex in 1989. A duplex is considered a
multiple family dwelling. The subdivision of this dwelling is allowed by the Zoning Ordinance and
the General Plan. Both the Subdivision Map Act and the Carlsbad Municipal Code require the
application for a Tentative Minor Subdivision to subdivide into condominium units. In addition
to the Tentative Minor Subdivision, the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires application for and
approval of a condominium permit. In the City of Carlsbad this process is the only method to
subdivide a duplex into two attached single family condominium units.
By Code, the City is allowed to approve a Certificate of Compliance in lieu of a Parcel Map for
conversions of duplexes into condominiums when all the improvements have been completed
and all the conditions of approval of the Tentative Minor Subdivision and the Condominium
Permit have been met.
I have attached a few pages from the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act. The
highlighted areas refer to the requirements to subdivide property in the City of Carlsbad. I have
also included a copy of the letters sent to the owners regarding the violation and the Notice of
Intent to File a Notice of Violation.
I hope this information addresses your concerns regarding the property at 4549 Cove Drive. If
you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact me at (61 9) 438-1 1 61 ,
extension 4427.
Sincerely,
SHERRI HOWARD
