AGENDA OF: June 20, 2018 Project Planner: Paul Dan Project Engineer: David Rick SUBJECT: CDP 2017-0074 (DEV2017-0235) – STAINBACK RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the demolition of an existing single-family residence and construction of a 2,126 square foot single family residence within the Mello II Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program located at 5360 Los Robles Drive within Local Facilities Management Zone 3. 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 15303(a), construction of a single-family residence, of the state CEQA Guidelines. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7299 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 2017-0074 based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The 0.22-acre (9,583 square feet) project site is located at 5360 Los Robles Drive as shown on the attached location map. The flat lot is developed with a one-story single-family residence with an attached two-car garage. The surrounding neighborhood is developed with a mixture of older one-story single-family residences and newer two-story single-family residences. The project would require no grading nor removal of native vegetation. No public beach access or coastal resources are identified onsite. 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 Single-family residence North R-4 R-1 Single-family residence South R-4 R-1 Single-family residence East R-4 R-1 Single-family residence West R-4 R-1 Single-family residence Proposed Residential Construction: The project consists of the demolition of an existing 1,572 square foot single-family residence and construction of a new 2,126 square foot single-family residence. The new residence will be one story with a vaulted ceiling. The maximum height of the residence will be 22 feet 4 inches. The design of the proposed residence is a contemporary architecture, typical of coastal residences. 2 CDP 2017-0074 (DEV2017-0325) – STAINBACK RESIDENCE June 20, 2018 Page 2 The pitched shed roof on the west elevation is inspired by a lifeguard stand with its roof tilted upwards towards the ocean with large windows facing the ocean. Building materials used for the exterior are a palette of board-formed concrete, stucco, cedar and copper is meant to patina over time, adding an organic feeling to the clean lines of the structure Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 60 cubic yards (cy) of cut, 100 cy of fill with 40 cy of import. A grading permit will 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 Zone (R-1, CMC Chapter 21.10); C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and Chapter 21.203 (Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone); D. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85); and E. 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 Residential which allows for the development of single-family and multiple-family residences at a density of 0-4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 du/ac. The project’s density (4.54 du/ac) is within the range but exceeds the GMCP of the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation. However, one single-family dwelling 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, development of a single-family dwelling is consistent with the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation. B. One-Family Residential Zone (R-1) 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 (CMC Chapter 21.10). Table “B” below shows how the project complies with the applicable requirements of the R-1 zone. TABLE B – R-1 ZONE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED Front Yard Setback 20 feet minimum 20 feet Side Yard Setback 6 feet 9 inches 7 feet Rear Yard Setback 14 feet 30 feet Max Building Height 30 feet 22 feet 4 inches Lot Coverage 40 percent 36.3 Parking Two-car garage Two-car garage CDP 2017-0074 (DEV2017-0325) – STAINBACK RESIDENCE June 20, 2018 Page 3 C. Conformance with the Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC Chapter 21.201) and the Costal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.90). The project site is located within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and is 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 an LCP Land Use Plan designation of R-4 Residential, which allows for a density of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and 3.2 du/ac at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP). At the R-4 GMCP, one dwelling unit would be permitted on this 0.22-acre (net developable) property. The demolition and construction of a single-family residence will not increase the number of units on the property. Therefore, no change in density is proposed or required to be analyzed. The project consists of demolition of an existing single-family residence and construction of a new 2,126 square foot single-family residence. The new residence 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 previously developed site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the site. The new residence is 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. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85) Pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.85.030 (D.3), a project may be exempt from the inclusionary housing requirement if the construction of a new residential structure replaces a residential structure that was demolished within two years prior to the application for a building permit for the new residential structure. The exemption is contingent upon the number of residential units not being increased from the number of residential units in the previously demolished residential structure. Since there will not be an increase in the number of units on the property, the project will be exempt from the inclusionary housing requirement if building permits are issued within two years of the demolition of the existing residential structure. E. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 3 in the northwest quadrant of the city. There will be no impact to public facilities because the new single-family residence is replacing an existing single-family residence.
