After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of the findings below.and APPROVES this request. The proposed modifications include: • Decrease the floor area of the house by 900 square feet. • Reduce the building height approximately six inches. In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings must be made: 1} No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function in that the reduction of the building area will not delete any essential design features. The exterior design remains intact. 2} The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the proposed reduction of building area will not affect the project's design and quality. The size reduction will result in a home that is consistent with the mix of homes in the surrounding neighborhood. 3} The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property. 4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original permit. 5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development. Community Development Planning Division I 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 I 760-602-4600 I 760-602-8560 f I www.carlsbadca.gov CD 2021-0011 {DEV2020-0110)-SAREM RESIDENCE May 12, 2021 Pa e 2 6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code in that the proposed revisions increase setbacks in some areas by Jess than 10%, but the ultimate setbacks remain the same on the front and sides of the home. Building height is reduced by approximately six Inches. 7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require additional mitigation in that the proposed reduction of building area will not involve any environmental impacts. 8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety ar welfare impacts. 9} There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would be exacerbated with the proposed change in that there were no major issues or controversies associated with this project during. the original Coastal Development Permit. Although there were neighborhood concerns about the size and height of the structure, the proposed changes will reduce the building size and height. 10) The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being substantially different from the project as originally approved in that the reduction of building area and building height will not delete any essential design features. The building shape and articulations are generally the same. Most of the windows, and the exterior features and finishes remain. Therefore, the changes will not be readily discernable, and the changes do not result in a substantially different project. Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division Administrative Policy No. 35.
