FINDINGS FOR DESIGN REVIEW
STANDARD: Section 23.08.080 of the Encinitas Municipal Code provides that an application
for a design review permit must be granted unless, based upon the information presented in
the application and during the Public Hearing, the authorized agency makes any of the
following regulatory conclusions:
a. The project design is inconsistent with the General Plan, a Specific Plan, or the provisions of
the Municipal Code.
Facts: The subject property consists of two (2) legal lots. The applicant proposes the partial
demolition of the existing duplex that straddles the lot line between the existing lots and the
construction of two (2) attached single.,.farnily residences, one on each underlying legal lot.
Single-family units attached at the property line with no setback may be allowed with
approval of an application for Design Review in the subject Residential 11 (R-ll) zone. All
public utilities and services are in place to serve the proposed use. There is no specific plan
applicable to the property.
Discussion: The project as proposed will comply with all applicable development standards
of the subj ect R-ll zone, including parking, building height, lot coverage, floor area ratio
(FAR), and setbacks, .and will be required to comply with all applicable Building and Fire
codes through the standard plan checking process. The project will be consistent with the
General Plan and the provisions of the Municipal Code.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the project design is consistent with the
General Plan and the provisions of the Municipal Code.
b. The project design is substantially inconsistent with the Design Guidelines.
Facts: The applicant proposes the demolition of portions of the existing duplex that
straddles the lot line between the two (2) legal lots which comprise the subject property
and the construction of two (2) attached single-family residences, one on each underlying
legal. lot. Single-family units attached .at the common property line may be permitted in
the subject R-ll zone with the approval of a Design Review application.
Discussion: The proposed site plan, building massing, and plantings are designed to be
respectful of views. from neighboring properties. Proposed garages will utilize the existing
driveway off of Cambridge Avenue. The use of decks creates usable and functional
private open space for each proposed residence and each unit will also have a private
back yard separated by six (6) foot high privacy wall. The proposed grading is minimal
and conforms to the existing topography of the site. Drainage and storm water treatment
measures are well designed and in conformance with applicable codes. Although tightly
constrained by narrow, substandard lots, the project presents interesting and varied
rooflines and wall and story articulation gives the project visual interest. That, in
combination with the use of porches, balconies and insets serves to reduce apparent bulk
and mass of the proposed structure. Review of the project colored elevations and
color/materials board shows that the proposed units will have the same theme in colors
and materials, which are complementary to the existing developments in the
PBD\KM\\g:\Resolutions\rpc07-151.2008-09 - 3-
neighborhood. The building character of the design is well established and carried
throughout all elevations. Proposed site walls and fences along the perimeter of the
project reflect the design of the proposed residences with matching materials and colors
and are complementary of the proposed plantings, which sufficiently screen and soften
their appearance and comply with applicable standards. Proposed tree and shrub varieties
will be in scale with the proposed units and will preserve view opportunities of
neighboring properties while effectively screening and complementing the proposed
development. All plantings will be watered by a permanent irrigation system.
c.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the project is substantially consistent with
the Design Review Guidelines.
The project would adversely affect the health, safety, or general welfare of the community.
Facts: The applicant proposes the partial demolition of the existing duplex and the
construction of two (2) attached single-family residences, one on each underlying legal
lot. Single-family units attached at the common property line may be permitted in the
subject R-11 zone with the approval of a Design Review application. The project has
been determined tobe exempt from environmental review as per Sections 15301(1)(1) and
15303(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. All services
and utilities ar~jn place to serve the project.
Discussion: The project as proposed will comply with all applicable development standards
of the subject R-11 zone, including parking, building height, lot coverage, floor area ratio
(FAR), and setbacks, and will be required to comply with all applicable Building and Fire
codes through the standard plan checking process; No evidence has been submitted or
discovered that would suggest that the proposed project will adversely affect the
surrounding neighborhood or community. The project is exempt from environmental review
and no adverse impact to the environment is anticipated.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the project will not adversely affect the
health, safety or general welfare of the community.
The project would cause the surrounding neighborhood to depreciate materially in
appearance or value.
Facts: The project consists of the demolition of portions of the existing duplex constructed
across the lot line between the two (2) underlying legal lots and the construction of two (2)
single- family residences, one on each underlying 'lot and attached at the common property
line. Single-family residences are a permitted use in the subj ect R -11 zone.
Discussion: The proposed new residences and site improvements including landscaping will
enhance the app~arance of the property and the neighborhood. The subject property
provides sufficient area to accommodate the proposed development. No evidence has been
submitted or discovered that would suggest that the proposed project will cause any material
depreciation in appearance or value of the surrounding neighborhood.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the project will not cause the surrounding
neighborhood to depreciate materially in appearance or value.
