PROJECT ANALYSIS
Background
Case No. 17-114 TPM/CDP is a concurrent Tentative Parcel Map application for a 3-lot
subdivision creating the subject lot. Case Nos. 17-115 CDP, 17-116 CDP and 17-117 CDP are
active discretionary Coastal Development Permits that are being processed concurrently for the
custom single-family residences that are to be constructed on each lot associated with this
subdivision.
Case No. 17-118 CDP is another related case but is not located within the subdivision. This
project is located directly adjacent to the project site (on the corner of Lake Drive and Santa Drive),
and proposes the demolition of an existing residence, and construction of a new single-family
residence.

Building Height
The property is located within the RR-1 Zone and subject to the 26-foot height limitation for flat
roofs and 30-foot height limitation for sloped roofs. The applicant has shown on the project plans
that the new single-family residence is less than 30 feet for sloping roofs and less than 26 feet to
the top of the roof above the building wall. The proposed project complies with all height
regulations and will be required to provide a height certification from a licensed land surveyor
during construction, to demonstrate compliance with the plans and height limitations.
Grading and Walls
Grading is proposed throughout the project site for the right-of-way improvements, storm water
improvements, creation of the building pads for the home, garage, and the driveway. The
maximum cut depths range up to six feet in height and the fill height ranges up to one foot. The
grading work as proposed and is exempt from design review in accordance with Encinitas
Municipal Code Section 23.08.030614. This municipal code section exempts fill less than four
feet in height, and earthwork cut less than eight feet in depth. The grading proposed for the
project meets this exemption criteria.
Walls and fencing are proposed on the perimeter of the site. All these walls will be six feet or less
in height and comply with all height limitations for retaining walls, and combined retaining walls
and fences. A combination of block walls with wrought iron fencing above, as well as
composite/wood fencing is proposed along the perimeter of the site. All of these walls will be six
feet or less in height and comply with all height limitations for retaining walls, and combined walls
and fencing.
Design Review Exemption
Pursuant to Section 23.08.030.8.7 of the Municipal Code, the applicant is proposing the residence
as a custom single-family home with a dissimilar building footprint, orientation, elevations and
architectural features from surrounding residential units. The footprint and orientation vary for
each residence within the subdivision and the immediately surrounding neighborhood. Each
residence provides a variety of building wall offsets. The residences are additionally differentiated
by utilizing a variety of architectural styles, rooflines, materials, architectural elements and a

variety of colors and materials. The design of this home is thus exempt from design review
pursuant to this section. Additionally, the grading work as proposed is exempt from design review
in accordance with Encinitas Municipal Code Section 23.08.030.13.14.
Cultural/Natural Resources Overlay Zone
The subject lot is identified to be located within the Cultural/Natural Resources Overlay Zone.
The subject project is located on an infill site and is surrounded by existing development. No
sensitive plant or animal habitats are proposed to be impacted by the subject project. Prior to
development, the project is conditioned to require a qualified paleontologist to set up a monitoring
and recovery program, attend the project pre-construction meetings and monitor the site full time
during cutting of undisturbed areas of the Linda Vista Formation. A final report from the qualified
paleontologist is required to be reviewed and approved by the City prior to the issuance of any
building permits for the site.
Local Coastal Program Consistency
The proposed project is located within the Coastal Zone of the City of Encinitas and requires
approval of a Coastal Development Permit for the project. The project adheres to the applicable
development standards of the RR-1 Zone provided in the Encinitas Municipal Code and the goals
and policies of the General Plan, which ensures consistency with the City's adopted Local Coastal
Program.
