AGENDA OF: May 7, 2003 Item No.@ Application complete date: December 16, 2002 Project Planner: Greg Fisher Project Engineer: David Rick SUBJECT: CDP 02-56 -WALTERS RESIDENCE -Request for approval of a Coastal Development Pennit to allow the demolition of an existing residence and the construction of a new single-family residence within the City's Coastal Zone located along the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard, between Cerezo Drive and Shore Drive within Local Facilities Management Zone 3. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 5402 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 02-56 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 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 construction of single-family residences in urbanized areas is exempt from environmental review. There are no unresolved issues. The staff recommendation of approval with conditions is supported by the analysis as follows. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: A previously developed coastal bluff top lot located along the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard, between Cerezo Drive and Shore Drive within the appeals jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. The rectangular shaped property is located just south of an existing residential development as shown on the attached location map. The subject property consists of two legal parcels totaling 1.46 acres in size. The larger northern parcel is developed with an older existing residence, a 595 square foot second dwelling unit and a single car garage. The second dwelling unit and garage are located within the front yard setback with an approved variance. Prior to the construction of the new residence, the existing residence will be removed and the second dwelling unit will be converted (through the removal of the kitchen) to a guest house. The smaller southern parcel is currently undeveloped. The two legal parcels will be consolidated into one prior to the approval of building or grading permits whichever comes first. The topography of the site is a gradual downslope from Carlsbad Boulevard towards the bluffiop CDP 02-56-WALTERS lsIDENCE May 7, 2003 Page2 0 edge. A grading permit will be required to raise the foundation reducing the proposed driveway approach to a desirable grade in compliance with City standards. Proposed Residential Construction: Demolition of an older ex1stmg residence and the construction of a new single-family two story residential structure totaling 6,565 square feet with 1,145 square feet of basement area and an oversized three car garage/workshop. A seawall or other shoreline protective device is not proposed with this application. Proposed Grading: Estimated grading quantities include 516 cubic yards (cy) of cut with 745 cy of fill and 229 cy of import. A grading permit will be required for this project. IV. ANALYSIS As shown on the Coastal Development Compliance Table below, the proposed development is in compliance with all applicable regulations. This project complies with a recommended 25' blufftop setback as a result of a geotechnical evaluation of the site performed by Southland Geotechnical Consultants (SGC) on March 10, 1997 and updated on January 22, 2003. The research studies performed by SGC estimated a maximum annual bluff-edge retreat rate over a 75-year economic lifetime for new construction which equated to a conservative estimate of bluff-edge retreat of 16.5 to 24.8 feet. Therefore using the maximum projected bluff-edge retreat, a minimum 25' setback from the bluff-edge was recommended. The project complies with the string-line structural setback standard applicable to all ocean front properties. This standard specifies that no structure is permitted further seaward than similar structures on adjacent properties. Building permits may be issued subject to the conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 5402.

Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies. The project is located in the Mello Il Local Coastal Program Segment. The project proposes the construction of a single-family residence in an area designated for single-family development. The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for Residential-Low Medium (RLM) density development, which allows 3.2 du/acre. Based on a density of 3.2 du/acre, the lot could accommodate at least cine dwelling unit. That portion of the property that is located along the coastal bluff and west of the mean high tide line is designated for open space on the LCP Land Use Plan. Consistent with this designation, the project has been conditioned to prohibit development in this area and to dedicate it to the California Coastal Commission. 2. Conformance with public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. Per the Local Coastal Program, the subject site is not required to provide beach access, as there is an existing concrete stairway located on property approximately 200 feet south of the subject site providing public access from Carlsbad Boulevard to the beach. 3. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zones. The subject site is located in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone, which requires that for steep slope areas not containing endangered plant/animal species and/or coastal sage scrub or chaparral plant communities, that development of slopes 25% or greater may be permitted subject to specific findings. The proposed project complies with all applicable requirements of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone as illustrated in the table below: COASTAL RESOURCE PROTECTION OVERLAY ZONE FINDING RESPONSE That a soils investigation be conducted to A soils and geologic analysis of the site was determine that the site slope areas are stable prepared in conformance with City and grading and development impacts requirements.

FINDING RESPONSE No grading or removal of steep slopes will be Review of the proposed project has concluded permitted unless all environmental aspects that the site contains no habitat or wildlife and have been mitigated. that no environmental impacts will result from the oroiect. Drainage, Erosion, Sedimentation and Habitat As designed and conditioned, the proposed 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. Landslides and Slope Instability The soils and geologic analysis report performed for the proposed project indicates that there are no landslides on this site and that the present overall stability of the subject bluff to be grossly stable. Seismic Hazards The soils and geological analysis report performed for the proposed project indicates that the materials at the site are not subject to liquefaction due to such factors as soil density, grain-size distribution and groundwater conditions. There are no active faults on or near the project site. Floodplain Development No development on the property is proposed within the one hundred year floodplain or wave run up area. 4. Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone The Proposed development complies with all applicable requirements of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone as described in the table below: COASTAL SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONE TABLE STANDARD PROVIDED Lateral access 25' sandy beach 25-40 feet of dry sandy beach seaward of develooment Bluff Top Access Applies to lots where no beach is present or Beach is accessible via existing stairway located where beach is not accessible approximately 200 feet south of the subject site. Beach is present therefore requirement does not apply to the oroiect.
