AGENDA OF: January 20, 2010 Application complete date: September 1, 2009 Project Planner: Shannon Werneke Project Engineer: Clyde Wickham SUBJECT: CDP 09-16 - TRITON RESIDENCE - Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow for the construction of a new 4,358 square foot, two-story, single-family residence located on a 0.49-acre panhandle lot, on the south side of Triton Street, west of the intersection of Blackrail Road and Triton Street, within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 20. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6647 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit CDP 09-16 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 new single family residence 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 the Local Coastal Program (LCP) Policies and Implementation Plan standards. 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 Coastal Development Permit (CDP) to allow for the construction of a 4,358 square-foot, two-story, single-family residence, including an attached two-car garage on a 21,209 square foot lot (0.49 gross acres) located on the south side of Triton Street. Project Site/SettinR: The vacant, panhandle-shaped, 0.49-acre lot has been previously-graded pursuant to Minor Subdivision 01-04 and is identified as Parcel 3 of Parcel Map 19411 recorded on January 23, 2004. The property is bordered on the north by a vacant residential parcel recently approved to be subdivided into two single-family lots (map has not recorded), on the east and south by two-story, single-family residences and on the west by a two-story, single- family residence and a single-story barn. Topographically, the property slopes gently downward from east to west, and includes a manufactured building pad at an approximate elevation of 367.5 feet above mean sea level (MSL). Elevations across the property range fromo CDP 09-16 - TRITON RESIDENCE January 20, 2010 Page 2 approximately 371 feet above MSL along the eastern perimeter of the panhandle portion of the lot to approximately 354 feet along the western perimeter of the property, at the base of a manufactured fill slope. Access to the site is from Black Rail Road, just east of Triton Way. No native habitat of substantial or significant value exists onsite. In addition, the property is located outside of the appeals jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. Proposed Construction: The proposed project consists of the construction of a 4,358 square foot custom two-story single-family home, which includes a two-car garage. Decks (totaling 1,562 square feet) are also proposed on the first and second floor. The primary building material of the home is stucco (smooth trowel/light beige finish) with wood accents, metal panels, enhanced fenestration on the west elevation (i.e. extensive span of windows), and an asphalt shingle roof. As the property owner is considering applying for certification with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the design of the home incorporates several sustainable or "green" building features such as improved insulation, improved window and door specifications, passive solar heating, Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood, and integrated shading devices. The applicant also intends to utilize energy and water efficient appliances and fixtures, reduced construction waste, an efficient irrigation system, minimal turf, and a bio-swale to address storm water requirements. In addition, active solar panels for hot water heating and photovoltaic panels are potential future installations. Proposed Grading: As there is an existing building pad which was created as a result of Minor Subdivision 01-04, a minimal amount of grading is required to prepare the site for the development of the proposed single-family home. Based on the existing pad/proposed design, 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 on a previously-graded site; 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. Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203); C. One-Family Residential (R-l-Q) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.10) and the Qualified Development Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.06); D. 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); 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 regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations and policies is discussed in the sections below. CDP 09-16 - TRITON RESIDENCE January 20, 2010 Page 3 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 development of single-family residences at a density range 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, 1.34 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.42-acre (net developable) property. As one single family home is proposed at a density of 2.38 dwelling units per acre, the project is consistent with the RLM General Plan Land Use designation. The project complies with the Elements of the General Plan as outlined in Table A below: TABLE A - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM PROJECT COMPLIANCE Land Use The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM; 0-4 du/ac; GMCPof3.2du/ac). At the RLM GMCP, 1.34 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.42-acre (net developable) property. As one single family home is proposed at a density of 2.38 dwelling units per acre, the project is consistent with the RLM Land Use designation. Yes Housing Objective 3.5 (Lower Income) Provide a range of new housing opportunities for lower-income households, in all areas of the City. As the project involves the construction of one single- family dwelling on a vacant lot, the project is accordingly-conditioned to require the payment of an in-lieu affordable housing fee. Yes Open Space & Conservation Goal A. 1 - An open space system of aesthetic value that maintains community identity, achieves a sense of natural spaciousness, and provides visual relief in the cityscape while minimizing the environmental impacts to sensitive resources within the City. The project does not impact any sensitive resources as the site is graded and devoid of vegetation. Yes CDP 09-16 - TRITON RESIDENCE January 20, 2010 Page 4 TABLE A - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE CONTINUED ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM PROJECT COMPLIANCE Open Space & Conservation Cont'd. Utilize Best Management Practices for control of storm water and to protect water quality. The project will conform to all NPDES requirements and will be required to provide a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Yes Public Safety Reduce fire hazards to an acceptable level. The proposed home is located in a developed area (i.e. no fire buffer required) and has been designed to meet the applicable fire code regulations. Yes Noise Residential exterior noise standard of 60 CNEL and interior noise standard of 45 CNEL. As the project site is not located in an area which is impacted by noise from traffic or the McClellan- Palomar Airport, no additional noise studies or upgrades in building materials are required. Yes Circulation Implementation Policy C.I (Streets and Traffic Control) - To require new development to comply with the adopted Growth Management performance standards for circulation facilities. As frontage improvements along the south side of Triton Street were completed as a condition of the underlying minor subdivision which created the lot, no additional improvements are required. Yes B. Zone 20 Specific Plan The project site is located within Planning Area E of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203), which requires all future development to comply with the Architectural Standards of SP 203. A majority of the standards apply to larger residential subdivisions; however, in general, the standards encourage the use of different building materials and enhanced fenestration. As the proposed contemporary home incorporates a variety of building materials including stucco, metal panels, and wood accents as well as enhanced fenestration (i.e., large window spans), particularly along the west elevation, the proposed project is consistent with the Zone 20 Specific Plan. CDP 09-16- TRITON RESIDENCE January 20, 2010 Page 5 C. One-Family Residential (R-l-Q) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.10) and the Qualified Development Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter 21.06) The subject property has a zoning designation of One-Family Residential (R-l) and is also located within the Qualified Development (Q) Overlay Zone. Pursuant to CMC Section 21.06.040 of the Q Overlay Zone, the development of one single family residential, structure on any residentially-zoned lot is exempt from the requirement to process a site development plan. The project meets all of the requirements of the R-l zoning regulations pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.10. All setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and panhandle lot requirements established for the zone have been reviewed for compliance with the required standards as outlined in Table B below: TABLE B - R-l ZONE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STANDARD Front Yard Setback Side Yard Setback Rear Yard Setback Lot Coverage Maximum Building Height Parking Access REQUIRED 20 feet Not less than 10% of lot width, provided that such side yard shall be not less than 5 feet and need not exceed 10 feet. The subject lot has a width of 150 feet at the front yard setback. Therefore, a 10-foot-wide side yard setback is required. Twice the required side yard setback = 20 feet 40% 30' with a minimum 3:12 roof pitch Panhandle lots: 3 non-tandem spaces 14-feet wide for single lots PROPOSED 27 feet 51 feet and 34 feet are provided along north and south sides of the proposed residence, respectively. 40 feet 18% 30' with a minimum 3 :12 roof pitch 2-car garage and one uncovered guest space 15 feet COMPLY Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes D. 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: a. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program The project site has an LCP Land Use designation of RLM (Residential Low-Medium Density). The project's consistency with the RLM Land Use designation is analyzed in Section A above. CDP 09-16 - TRITON RESIDENCE January 20, 2010 Page 6 The project includes the construction of a two-story, 4,358 square-foot, single-family residence in an area designated for single-family residential development. The proposed residence would be consistent with the surrounding development of predominantly two-story, single-family homes. The two-story 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 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. b. 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 (JURJVIP) to avoid increased urban run off, pollutants and soil erosion. No development is proposed in areas of steep slopes (> 25% gradient) and 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. E. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 20 in the southwest 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. 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 C below.
