Vulcan Avenue Encinitas, CA 92024 (760) 633-2710 NOTICE OF DECISION DCD-2002-66 July 26, 2002 This letter is to inform you that the Director of Community Development has approved your application for the following Administrative Permit for property located in the City of Encinitas: 02-063 CDP (Gary Myron) -Coastal Development Permit request for the construction of a new, single-family residence in the Residential 11 (R-11) zoning district. The existing residence will be demolished. (Project Site: 252 Dublin Avenue.: A.P.N.: 261-091-15) Project Description and Discussion: The applicant is proposing to construct a new, two-story single-family residence located in the R-11 Zone. The existing 700-sq. ft. home located on the lot will be demolished as part of this Coastal Development Permit. The proposed home will be approximately 2,900-sq. ft. in size with a detached garage of approximately 515 sq. ft. Access to the garage will be from the alley. Maximum height of the proposed residence will not exceed 26'- 0", asmeasured from the lower of existing or finished grade. As depicted on the architectural plan sets, the project meets the development standards for lot coverage, FAR, setbacks, height and parking. All code requirements will be verified through the standard plan check process when building permits are applied for. A standard public notification was issued for the project, with no letters of objection received from the neighbors. A Citizen Participation Program was also implemented. Municipal Code Section 30.80 permits residential dwellings in the coastal zone provided the following findings can be made: Coastal Development Permit 1. The project is consistent with the certified Local Coastal Program of the City of Encinitas; and 2. The proposed development conforms with Public Resources Code 21000 and following in that there are no feasible mitigation measures or feasible alternatives available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact that the activity may have on the environment; and 3. For projects involving development between the sea or other body of water and the nearest public road, approval shall include a specific finding that such development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Section 30200 et seq. of the Coastal Act. Conclusion: The City's General Plan and Municipal Code are applicable components of the City's Local Coastal Plan. The subject zoning is R-11, which permits proposed single-family dwelling units in both the Municipal Code and General Plan. No aspect of the project has been identified which could have an adverse impact on coastal resources or any natural resources. The project will comply with the applicable development standards (lot coverage, setbacks, floor area ratio, height etc.) as per the Encinitas Municipal Code and the goals and policies contained in the General Plan. Since the project complies with all applicable provisions of the City's Municipal Code and General Plan, the Community Development Department finds that the project is consistent with the certified Local Coastal Program of the City of Encinitas, and that required finding #2 is not applicable since no significant adverse environmental impact is associated with the project. Finding #3 is not applicable, as the project site is not located between the sea and the nearest public road. The approval of this Coastal Development Permit satisfies the requirements of the Encinitas Local Coastal Program.
