Commission approves coastal permit for Beltran single‑family residence

The Planning Commission unanimously approved a coastal development permit and the recommended CEQA exemption for the Beltran residence, a two‑story single‑family home with an attached ADU on Magnolia Avenue and Grama Court Way.

Staff presented the proposal as a 4,315‑square‑foot main residence with a 553‑square‑foot garage and an attached 796‑square‑foot ADU, noting the project complies with setbacks, lot coverage and parking standards for the RR‑1 zone. Staff recommended a CEQA categorical exemption for new construction. A single public commenter raised questions about sewer pipe capacity on the neighborhood block; staff said utility plans and approval by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District and city engineers are required under Condition 25 and offered to follow up with the resident after the hearing.

Commissioner Burrows moved to approve the staff recommendation; Commissioner Fitzgerald seconded and the commission voted unanimously.
