NOTICE OF DECISION
DCD-2001-92
September 25, 2001
This letter is to inform you that the Director of Community Development has approved your
application for:
01-183 BA (DR Horton) - Boundary Adjustment application for a lot line adjustment
between two legal lots (Lots 68 & 74 of Tract No. 00-086, Map 14268). The subject lots
are located within the ESFR3V zone.
Project Description and Discussion: The applicant proposes a boundary adjustment between two
existing legal lots. D.R. Horton (applicant) is the owner of the subject lots. Both lots are vacant. A
building permit application has been submitted to construct a single-family dwelling on each lot.
However, an architectural projection proposed for the dwelling on Lot 68 requires the lot line
between Lot 68 and Lot 74 to be moved 1.55 feet north in order to comply with the minimum
building setback from the property line.
The proposed boundary adjustment will result in the following lots:
Lot Net lot area Lot Width Lot Depth
Lot 68 of Map 14268 .159 ac (6,913 sq. ft.) 55 feet 126 feet
Lot 74 of Map 14268 .135 ac (5,897 sq. ft.) 55 feet 107 feet
Both lots are located within the Encinitas Ranch Specific Plan ER-SFR3V zone with a minimum
5,000 square foot lot area and minimum lot dimensions of 55 feet in width and 90 feet in depth.
The proposed lots after the boundary adjustment will be in compliance with the required lot area
and dimension standards.
This adjustment will be completed with the recordation of a Certificate of Compliance to be
prepared by the City of Encinitas.

FINDINGS FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT
STANDARD: Section 24.70.060 of the Municipal Code provides the application to adjust a
lot line shall be approved unless the parcels resulting from the adjustment will:
Create a condition which does not comply with zoning and development regulation. All
parcels resulting from a lot line adjustment shall comply with minimum City
requirements for lot size, dimensions, access, parking and circulation, and all other
applicable development standards established through the zoning and development code.
The lot line adjustment shall also be found to promote available design standards and
guidelines as established through the zoning and development code. The lots resulting
from a lot line adjustment and existing and/or potential development on those lots shall
be found to be within limitations for lot density and intensity of development and use as
established through the zoning and development code.
Conclusion: The subject lots of the proposed boundary adjustment are in compliance with the
required standards pertaining to lot size and dimensions for the ER-SFR3V zone and all other
applicable development standards. The lot line adjustment will not negatively impact the access,
parking or circulation of the lots. The lots resulting from the lot line adjustment are within the
limitations for lot density of the subject ER-SFR3V zone (3 units per acre).
2. Create a condition which does not comply with building regulations.
Conclusion: No structures exist on the subject lots, therefore, no aspect of the adjustment will
result in a condition that does not comply with building regulations. The purpose of the boundary
adjustment is to enable the construction of proposed dwellings on the lot in compliance with the
minimum building setbacks.
Materially, adversely affect an agreement for the security for the construction of public
improvements.
Conclusion: The proposed boundary adjustment does not affect any property subject to public
improvements, therefore, the adjustment will not materially or adversely affect any agreement for
the construction of public improvements.
4. Extends beyond the City limit boundary.
Conclusion: The boundaries of each lot affected by the proposed boundary adjustment are fully
contained within the City limit boundaries.
5. Requires substantial alteration of any existing improvement or creates a need for any new
improvement.
Conclusion: The boundary adjustment will not require any alteration to any existing improvement.
In addition, the adjustment will not create a need for any new improvements.

6. Adjusts the boundary line between lots that are subject to an agreement for public
improvements, unless the City Engineer finds that the proposed adjustment will not
materially affect such agreement for the security therefor.
Conclusion: The boundary adjustment will not adjust a boundary line that may be subject to an
agreement for public improvements.
