AGENDA OF: October 20, 2010 Application complete date: September 7, 2010 Project Planner: Shannon Werneke Project Engineer: Steve Bobbett SUBJECT: CDP 10-18 - 1369 MAGNOLIA AVENUE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to demolish a single-family residence and detached accessory structure and to allow for the construction of a new 4,083 square foot, two-story, single-family residence (including attached garage) on a 0.82-acre lot located at 1369 Magnolia Avenue, within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 1. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6727 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 10-18 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Section 21.201.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the demolition of the existing single-family residence and accessory structure and the construction of a new single family residence within the City's Coastal Zone require the processing and approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The CDP application was reviewed for consistency with the Local Coastal Program (LCP) Policies and Implementation Plan standards. The project is not located within the Appeals Jurisdiction of the coastal zone; therefore, the Planning Commission's decision on the CDP cannot be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. There are no unresolved issues. The staff recommendation for approval with conditions is supported by the following analysis. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The proposed project consists of a request for a Coastal Development Permit to demolish an existing, vacant, single-story, single-family home and detached accessory structure and to construct a new 3,663 square-foot, two-story, manufactured single-family residence with an attached 420 square-foot two-car garage on a 35,719 square foot lot (0.82 net acres) located on the south side of Magnolia Avenue. Project Site/Setting: Site topography consists of a gentle slope that rises from the southwestern corner of the lot (low point) approximately 10 feet to the eastern property line (high point). The site is currently developed with a 1,600 square foot, vacant, single-story, single-family home and a detached accessory structure which were constructed in 1932. The structures are located at the northern CDP 10-18-1369 MAGNOLIA AVENUE October 20, 2010 Page 2 (front) portion of the lot, adjacent to Magnolia Avenue. Due to the dilapidated state of the existing home, it is uninhabitable and has been vacant for several years. The rear portion of the lot is unimproved and presently overgrown with non-native vegetation. In addition to the non- native vegetation, a number of mature trees, including one large oak tree and several palm trees are located on the project site. The existing Canary Island Date Palm located in the front yard area is proposed to be retained but will require relocation for the development of the home. The existing oak tree located adjacent to the eastern property line is also proposed to be retained. With exception of one, two-story home located adjacent to the southeastern property line, the subject parcel is bordered on all sides by single-story, single-family residential development, including one home to the east, two homes to the south, and four homes to the west. An existing curb cut exists off of Magnolia Avenue to provide access to the site. As a part of the proposed project, the driveway will be relocated several feet to the west to coincide with the footprint for the proposed home. Proposed Construction: In addition to the demolition of the existing structures on the site, the proposed project consists of the construction of a 3,663 square foot, two-story, manufactured single-family home, with an attached, 420 square foot, two-car garage. The house will have a maximum height of 27 feet. The Craftsman style of the proposed home incorporates enhanced architectural features on all elevations which include the following: a mixture of vertical board and batten and horizontal lap siding, double-hung and casement windows enhanced with divided panes on the upper sashes, corbels, an entry porch with tapered columns, balconies, as well as a color palette which complements the Craftsman style (i.e. wild sage and light lime with cream accents). Proposed Grading: As minimal grading (83 cubic yards of cut/fill to be balanced on-site) is required to prepare the site for the placement of the manufactured home, the City Engineer has determined that a grading permit will not be required. Impact on Coastal Resources: The proposal comprises the development of a single-family house in an area that is currently developed with a single-family home; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exists onsite; and 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 proposed project is subject to the following ordinances, standards, and policies: A. Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) General Plan Land Use designation; B. One-Family Residential Zone, 7,500 square foot minimum lot size (R-1-7,500, CMC Chapter 21.10); C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203) D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and E. Growth Management (CMC Chapter 21.90). CDP 10-18-1369 MAGNOLIA AVENUE October 20, 2010 Page3 The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations and policies is discussed in the sections below. A. General Plan The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of RLM (Residential Low-Medium Density). The RLM Land Use designation allows for the development of single-family residences at a density of 0-4 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. At the RLM GMCP, 2.62 dwelling units could be permitted on this 0.82-acre (net developable) property. The project's proposed density of 1.22 dwelling units per acre is 1.62 units below the RLM GMCP of 3.2 dwelling units per acre used for the purpose of calculating the City's compliance with Government Code Section 65863. Consistent with Program 3.2 of the City's certified Housing Element, all of the dwelling units which were anticipated toward achieving the City's share of the regional housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects, including fractional units, are typically deposited into the City's Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. However, as the applicant has submitted an application for a Minor Subdivision (MS 10-04) to create a total of three lots which will require the allocation of the current excess yield of 1.62 dwelling units to construct two additional single-family homes, the units will not be deposited into the excess dwelling unit bank. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with Program 3.2 of the Housing Element since the full development potential of this lot is anticipated to be realized. B. One-Family Residential Zone, 7,500 square foot minimum lot size (R-l-7,500, CMC Chapter 21.10) The zoning designation for the property is One-Family Residential, with a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet (R-l-7,500). The proposed project meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of the R-l-7,500 zone as demonstrated in Table A below. TABLE A - R-l-7,500 ZONE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STANDARD Front Yard Setback Side Yard Setback Rear Yard Setback Lot Coverage Max Building Height: Lots < 20,000 Square Feet Parking REQUIRED 20' minimum 10' minimum 20 'minimum 40% 30' with > 3:12 roof pitch or 24' with < 3:12 roof pitch Two-car garage PROPOSED 20'* 40' and 32.35' 200.5' 6.8% 27' with > 3: 12 roof Two-car garage COMPLY Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes ^Plus a two foot trellis encroachment into the front yard setback CDP 10-18-1369 MAGNOLIA AVENUE October 20, 2010 Page 4 C. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203) The project site is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP). The site is also located within and subject to the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203). The project's compliance with each of these programs and ordinances is discussed below: 1. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program The project consists of the construction of a new 4,083 square-foot single-family residence on a lot designated as Residential, Low-Medium Density (RLM), by the Mello II Land Use designation. The proposed two-story home will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. In addition, the proposed single-family residence is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore, the residentially-designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities. 2. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban run-off, pollutants and soil erosion. No development is proposed in areas of steep slopes (> 25% gradient). Other than an existing oak tree, which is proposed to be retained, no native vegetation is located on the subject property. In addition, the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction. D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance Per Section 21.85.030(D)(3) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the project has been conditioned to pay an inclusionary housing impact fee prior to building permit issuance if the proposed single- family residence is not constructed within two years of demolition of the existing residential structure. E. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest quadrant of the City. The project is subject to the provisions of the Growth Management Ordinance, as contained in Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance. As the proposed home is replacing an existing home, the construction of a new single-family residence will not have any adverse impacts on public facilities. The project's conformance with the requirements of the Growth Management regulations is detailed in Table B below.

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 Sections of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines: Sections 15301(1) (Class 1) and 15303(a) (Class 3) of CEQA exemptions exempt the demolition of individual small structures and the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone, respectively, from environmental review. In light of the above, a Notice of Exemption will be filed by the Planning Director upon project approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 6727 2. Location Map 3.
