A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Permit
Item No. ( 1
P.C. AGENDA OF: October 20, 2010
Application complete date: July 19, 2010
Project Planner: Dan Halverson
Project Engineer: Tecla Levy
SUBJECT: CDP 10-16 - MOORE BEACH RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a
Coastal Development Permit to allow for the construction of a new 2,453 square
foot single family residence with an attached garage on a . 11 acre lot located at
6485 Surfside Lane within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and
within Local Facilities Management Zone 22.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6728
APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 10-16 based upon the findings and subject to
the conditions contained therein.
II.INTRODUCTION
The applicant is proposing the construction of a new single-family residence on a vacant R-l-
10,000 zoned single-family lot. 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 (LCP) policies and implementation. The proposed
residence is consistent with the La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201) and the Mello II segment
of the City's LCP. There are no unresolved issues and staffs recommendation of approval with
conditions is supported by the analysis as follows.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Site/Setting: The project is located on the west side of Surfside Lane, south of Island
Way, and east of Carlsbad Boulevard within the La Costa Downs Specific Plan area, and as
shown on the attached location map (Attachment 2). The previously graded flat vacant lot is
0.11 acres (4,620 square feet) in area and is located outside the appeals jurisdiction of the
California Coastal Commission. The property is surrounded by single family residences.
Proposed Residential Construction: The applicant is proposing to construct a new two-story,
2,453 square foot two-story single-family residence including a 426 square foot attached two-car
garage which fronts on and is accessed off of Surfside Lane. The residence will have a
"modern/beach" style of architecture consisting of rectangular forms; a medium grey colored
stucco finish on the recessed first level; a second level with red cedar wood siding, and a low
pitched standing seam metal roof. The front of the house includes a covered breezeway featuringo
CDP 10-16 - MOORE BEACH RESIDENCE

Page 2
a metal patina copper exposed roof, wood columns and decorative metal gate that leads to the
rear of the property with the actual entryway on the second story. To the rear (west elevation),
there is a large second story balcony/deck along with several large windows used as major focal
points for the residential home as seen from Carlsbad Boulevard. The rooftop will include a
standing seam metal patina copper roof with exposed wood rafter tails. The roof will also have a
bank of skylights at the peak of the roof to allow natural sunlight into the residence.
Review of La Costa Downs Specific Plan: In the 1920's, the La Costa Downs Subdivision was
subdivided into narrow streets and parcels that are now considered substandard to today's City
standards. The La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201) was adopted on April 3, 1991, to provide
a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines for development of these lots. SP 201 includes
residential development standards that reflect typical R-l standards. In some cases the
development standards are more restrictive than those of the standard R-l zone. The applicant
has satisfied all of the SP 201 requirements applicable to this project as discussed in the Analysis
Section below.
Proposed Grading: The vacant lot is primarily flat and therefore only a minimum amount of
grading is required. A grading permit will not be required for this project.
Impact of Coastal Resources: The development is a single-family house on a previously graded
lot; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal
access opportunities exist onsite; the development does not obstruct views of the coastline as
seen from public lands or public rights-of-way or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the
coastal zone.
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and standards:
A. Residential Medium Density (RM) General Plan Land Use designation;
B. La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201);
C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85);
D. Coastal Development Policies and Regulations for the Mello II LCP Segment and Coastal
Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203); and,
E. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance) and Zone 22
Local Facilities Management Plan.
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable city regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each
of the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. Residential Medium Density (RM) General Plan Land Use
The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of RM (Residential Medium Density).
The RM Land Use designation allows the development of single-family residences at a density of
4-8 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 6 dwelling
CDP 10-16 - MOORE BEACH RESIDENCE
October 20, 2010
Page 3
units per acre. At the RM GMCP, .66 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.11 acre (net
developable) property. One single-family dwelling unit is guaranteed pursuant to the following
General Plan provision: "Notwithstanding the density provisions and intent of each residential
land use designation, a one-family dwelling shall be permitted on any legal lot that existed as of
October 28, 2004." The subject lot was legally created prior to October 28, 2004; therefore
development of a one-family dwelling is consistent with the RM General Plan Land Use
designation.
B. La Costal Downs Specific Plan (SP 201)
As shown on the La Costa Downs Compliance Table 1 below, the proposed development is in
compliance with all applicable regulations of SP 201.

La Costa Downs Specific Plan Design Standards
The La Costa Downs Specific Plan has a number of design standards to create a visually
interesting and diverse neighborhood. The applicant has satisfied the standards through the use
of interesting fa?ade treatments including: a recessed lower floor with light grey colored stucco
finish and a decorative metal gate and wood columns at the covered entryway; use of decorative
textured materials (including red cedar siding, exposed wood rafter tails, and large glass
windows); and a standing seam metal roof with proposed skylights, and a large balcony/deck at
the rear of the property. The architectural design also provides off-set building planes on the
front and rear elevations.
C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
For any residential development less than seven units, the inclusionary housing requirements may
be satisfied through the payment to the city of an impact fee. The project has been conditioned to
pay this fee prior to the issuance of a building permit.
D. Coastal Development Policies and Regulations for the Mello II LCP Segment and
Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203).
1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies.
The project is located in the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment. The project proposes the
construction of a new single-family residence in an area designated for single-family residential

development. As shown in Table 2 and discussed below, the project complies with all applicable
LCP provisions.

No
None
The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for RM (Residential Medium) density
development. The property is zoned R-l-10,000, but has special zoning provided by Specific
Plan 201 in that each existing legal lot can be developed with a single family unit and the project
therefore is consistent with the zoning. The proposed residence will be located on the west side
of Surfside Lane. The two-story residence is consistent with the surrounding development of two
story structures within the La Costa Downs subdivision.
No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, and the property is not within the Coastal
Agricultural Overlay Zone that would require mitigation for conversion to urban uses. There are
no sensitive coastal resources within the pre-graded subdivision. The residence is not located in
an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard.
2.Conformance with public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act.
No public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site and no
public access requirements are conditioned for the project since it is not located between the first
public road and the ocean. The residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented
recreation activities and the development does not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from
public lands or the public right of way.
3.Coastal Overlay Zones.
The subject site is located in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone; however, due to its
location on the inland side of Carlsbad Boulevard and the absence of slopes steeper than or equal
to 25% inclination and/or native vegetation, additional submittals, standards or requirements do
not apply. The project will not require a grading permit. Construction of 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.

E. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance) and
Zone 22 Local Facilities Management Plan.
The project is subject to the provisions of the Growth Management Ordinance, as contained in
Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance. The project's conformance with the requirements of the
Growth Management regulations is detailed in Table 3 below:

The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 22 in the southwest
quadrant of the City. The construction of a new single-family residence will have no adverse
impacts on public facilities.
At the RM Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 6 dwelling units per acre, 0.66
dwelling units are allowed on the .11-acre site. The project proposes 1 dwelling unit and it is
therefore 0.34 dwelling units above the GMCP. Consistent with the General Plan and Policy No.
43, 0.34 dwelling units will be withdrawn from the City's excess dwelling unit bank.
V.ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment.
Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of an
environmental document pursuant to the following Section of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines:
Section 15303(a) of CEQA exemptions (Class 3) exempts the construction of a single family
residence in an urbanized area from environmental review.
A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the Planning Director upon project approval.
