The City of CARLSBAD Planning Division A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Single Family Coastal Development Permit
Item No.
Application complete date: July 6, 2017
P.C. AGENDA OF: September 6, 2017 Project Planner: Paul Dan
Project Engineer: David Rick
SUBJECT: CDP 2017-0017 (DEV2017-0055) – STEVENSON ADDITION – Request for approval of a
Coastal Development Permit to allow for the addition of 816 square feet of habitable
space to an existing single-family residence and a workshop addition to the existing
garage within the Mello II Segment of the City’s Local Coastal Program located at 4915
Neblina Drive within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The project site is not within
the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The City Planner 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, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of
environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301(e)(1) interior and exterior
alterations and additions to an existing structure of the state CEQA Guidelines.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7263 APPROVING Coastal
Development Permit CDP 2017-0017 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Site/Setting: The 0.23 acre (10,020 square feet) project site is located at 4915 Neblina Drive as
shown on the attached location map. The lot is developed with a single-family residence and associated
hardscape and landscape improvements, and the topography on-site is relatively flat. The neighborhood
is characterized by one- and two-story single-family residences, with two-car garages. The project would
require minimal grading and no removal of native vegetation. No natural topographic features exist on
the site. Table “A” below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the
project site and surrounding properties.
TABLE A
LOCATION GENERAL PLAN
DESIGNATION ZONING CURRENT LAND USE
Site R-4 R-1-8000 Single-family residence

South R-4 R-1-8000 Single-family residence
East R-4 R-1-8000 Single-family residence
West R-4 R-1-8000 Single-family residence
Proposed Residential Construction: The project consists of an addition of 816 square feet of new habitable
space to the existing 1,627 square foot residence and a workshop addition to the existing garage. The
majority of the additions are located to the rear of the house which include expansion of the family room,

kitchen, a new master bedroom suite, and 204 square feet added to the garage. The additions are
proposed to match the style and materials of the existing home. The residence would remain one-story
with no increase in height.
Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 8 cubic yards (cy) of cut and 0 cy of fill with 39 cy
of remedial grading. A grading permit will not be required for this project.
III. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
A. R-4 Residential General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. One-Family Residential (R-1) Zone (CMC Section 21.10);
C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC
Section 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Section 21.203);
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) – Airport Overflight
Notification Area;
E. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and
F. Growth Management (CMC Chapter 21.90).
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. General Plan Land Use Designation
The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of R-4, which allows the development of one-
family dwellings at a density of 0-4 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management Control Point
(GMCP) of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. The project has a net acreage of 0.23 and a density of 4.2 dwelling
units per acre, which is above the GMCP and the range of the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation.
However, one single-family residence is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that existed as of
October 28, 2004, pursuant to General Plan Residential Land Use Policy 2-P.7. Since a single-family
dwelling already exists on the property, and the subject lot was legally created prior to October 28, 2004,
by map CT 73-05, the project is consistent with the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation.
B. R-1 Residential Zone (CMC Section 21.10)
The project is required to comply with all applicable regulations and development standards of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the One-Family Residential (R-1) zone. The proposed project
meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of the R-1 zone (Shown in Table B below).

C. Conformance with the Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local
Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Coastal Resource Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.
203)
The project site is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and is not within the
appeals jurisdiction. The site is also located within and subject to the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone. The project’s compliance with each of these programs and ordinances is discussed below:
1. Mello II Segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies
The subject site has a Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan designation of R-4 Residential, which
allows for a density of 0 to 4 du/acre and 3.2 du/acre at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP).
At the R-4 GMCP, 0.6 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.23 acre (net developable) property.
However, one single-family residence is permitted to be constructed on a legal lot that existed as of
October 28, 2004, pursuant to General Plan Residential Land Use Policy 2-P.7. The subject lot was legally
created prior to October 28, 2004; therefore, the existing single-family residence and proposed additions
are consistent with the R-4 LCP Land Use Plan designation.
The project consists of additions to an existing single-family residence that include 816 square feet of
habitable space and a 204 square foot workshop addition to the garage in an area designated for
residential development. The additions to the existing single-story residence will not obstruct views of
the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, or otherwise damage the visual beauty
of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the previously developed site, nor are there
any sensitive resources located on the developable portion of the site. The proposed additions are not
located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. 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, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management
Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban run-off, pollutants and soil erosion. The subject property does
not include steep slopes (equal to or greater than 25 percent gradient) or native vegetation.
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) – Airport Overflight Notification
Area
The project site is located within the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP),
more specifically the Airport Overflight Notification Area. ALUCP Section 2.2.29 – Overflight Notification
is designed to ensure that prospective buyers near an airport, particularly residential properties, are
informed about the airport’s potential impact on the property. This notification does not restrict the
height of structures, it simply discloses the existing conditions that may affect the property. ALUC Section
3.6.3 requires an overflight notification to be recorded on residential development. Since a notice has
not been previously recorded, the applicant is conditioned to do so.

E. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85)
Pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85.030.D.1, a project may be exempt from the inclusionary housing
requirement if an existing residence is altered, improved, restored, repaired, expanded, or extended,
provided that the number of units is not increased. Since there will not be an increase in the number of
units on the property, the project is exempt from the inclusionary housing requirement.
F. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the Northwest Quadrant of
the city. No impacts are associated with the project as the project consists of a remodel and additions to
an existing residence and no new impacts will be generated.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from CEQA per the exemptions listed below:
(1) Section 15301(e)(1) of CEQA exemptions (Class 1) exempts additions to existing structures
that will not result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor areas of the
structures before the addition.
A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon project approval.
