CT 2024-0004 / PUD 2024-0007 / CDP 2024-0036 (DEV2024-0094) - 2647 JEFFERSON STREET HOMES

The City of Carlsbad project for 2647 Jefferson Street Homes involves the demolition of an existing single-family residence to construct four three-story triplex structures, resulting in 12 residential condominium units on a single lot. Each unit will be approximately 1,667 square feet and feature a roof deck and an attached two-car garage utilizing an internal car lift. The structures will stand approximately 34 feet tall, with architectural features and parapets reaching up to 39.5 feet. To facilitate the development, the project requests a 38.75 percent density bonus, with one unit designated for very low-income households. The project includes requests for two incentives and eight waivers to address infrastructure and zoning constraints. These include the elimination of the requirement to replace the 14-inch water main for the entire frontage and a waiver for full right-of-way improvements. Additionally, waivers are sought for street, side, and rear yard setbacks, lot coverage limits, minimum separation between structures, and requirements for community and private recreation space. A Notice of Exemption has been filed, stating that the project is consistent with local zoning and is not expected to cause significant environmental impacts regarding noise, air quality, traffic, or water quality. Supporting documentation includes specialized studies on vehicle miles traveled, noise, air quality, and archaeological and paleontological assessments.
