Planning Division Comments:
General
1. General Plan and zoning designations for the property are as follows:
a. General Plan: Village-Barrio (V-B)
b. Zoning: Village-Barrio (V-B)
c. Master Plan: The project site is located within the Village Center (VC) District of the
Carlsbad Village & Barrio Master Plan (VBMP). Mixed-use residential with ground floor
retail is permitted in the VC District. Please be aware that the project site is subject to the
VBMP, Figure 2-2 -Use Restriction Map showing streets along which certain use are not
permitted on the ground floor street frontage.
2. The project requires the following permits:
a. Tentative Tract Map (CT). A CT is required for an 18 unit air-space condominium map
consisting of 17 residential units and one (1) ground floor street facing retail unit.

https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/3426/637434861102600000
This does not represent an exhaustive list. Additional studies may be required based on results of the
above studies and also other studies being requested by the reviewing City Departments and Divisions
listed below.
4. On the proposed Civil Sheet, under Project Information, the following listed information should be
corrected, revised, updated, and/or added with a formal application submittal:
a. The Existing Zoning (project Info Note 4) should be noted as: Village-Barrio (V-B)
b. Project Info Note 5 should be updated to say General Plan Land Use Designation and noted
as: Village-Barrio (V-B).
c. Following General Plan Land Use Designation, please add Master Plan: Village & Barrio
Master Plan (Village Center (VC) District).
d. For Minimum Unit Yield (project Info Note 6), please refer to the Village & Barrio Master Plan,
Section 2.4, Pg. 2-10, 2nd paragraph, where it states: "For mixed-use projects, the minimum
density shall be calculated based on fifty percent of the developable area ... " Based on this
information, please correct Note 6 to show a minimum of 6 units (0.43 x .5 = 0.215 x 28 = 6.02
= 6 units minimum).
e. Under Note 8 for Proposed Density, please indicate that this project will be requesting a
Density Bonus and then identify the percentage(%) of density bonus that is being requested.
f. Under Note 15, Minimum Lot Size, please be aware that in the VC District, lot size (and lot
dimensions for that matter) are not applicable (VBMP, Section 2.7.1 (B), Pg. 2-37). This can
probably be deleted.
g. Under Note 17 for lnclusionary Housing, please identify the level of affordability that is being
proposed for the three (3) units. As part of a density bonus request and formal submittal,
please complete Form P-l(H)-Density Bonus Request. Form P-l(H) can be found on the city's
website at:
https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/16609/638561251975170000

h. For notes pertaining to Building Height, please identify Maximum Building Height: 45 feet and
4 stories; and then provide Proposed Building Height: 62 feet and five stories (Ground Floor
Plate Height 14 feet). For the proposed building height, please clarify how you intend to
exceed city's development standards.
5. The Parking Statistics noted on the Civil Sheet, as related to parking ratios, needs to be revised to
reflect the Village & Barrio Master Plan Parking Requirements (VBMP, Section 2.6.6 -Parking), not
CMC Section 21.44.050 -Table B. With that, the following is required for this mixed-use project:
a. Multiple-family Residential Units with two or more bedrooms requires: "One and a half spaces
per unit. For condominiums, one space must be covered. Tandem parking is permitted." As
such, the residential portion of the project requires: 1.5 x 17 = 25.5 = 26 spaces (rounded up).
Of these, a minimum number of 13 spaces will need to be covered. The proposed site plan
shows all spaces covered, thus meeting the requirement.
b. Retail/Commercial Business requires: "One space per 415 square feet." As such, the retail
portion of the project requires: 1,045 square+ 415 = 2.5 = 3 spaces (rounded up).
Please note the Village & Barrio Master Plan parking ratios for retail vary. For example, the
Retail/Commercial Business use category is more liberal than a Restaurant use. With a formal
submittal will need to know exactly what retail use is being proposed.
6. As it relates to both the site and building design, please see Village & Barrio Master Plan (VBMP),
section 2.7.1 (I) on pg. 2-40 as it relates Ground Floor Street Frontage Uses:
New ground floor street frontage uses permitted within the boundaries of the use
restriction area identified on Figure 2-2 shall occupy more than one-half of the habitable
space developed on the ground floor and shall span at least 80 percent of the building
frontage. (VBMP, Section 2.7.1 (1)(1)).
Up to 20 percent of a building frontage may be used for a lobby or entryway to uses above
or behind ground floor street frontage uses. (VBMP, Section 2.7.1 (1)(2)).
It is unclear from the preliminary exhibits exactly how the project complies with the above; however,
visual estimations appear to indicate that the proposed design is coming up short of the requirement.
This will need to be addressed in a formal application submittal.
7. Please update the site plan to identify retail parking spaces versus the residential parking spaces. It is
assumed that the tandem spaces and lifts, from an operational standpoint and the VBMP Section 2.6.6
requirements, will be reserved for the residential units only; however, it needs to be identified on the
plans.
8. Please update the site plan to dimension all parking spaces and drive-aisle widths. For parking
dimensions, please reference CMC Section 21.44.050 -Table B. Please note that for 90-degree
parking, a minimum 24-foot-wide drive-aisle is required to provide adequate space for back-up
maneuvering.
9. Please dimension the minimum 5-foot turning bump-out that is required to be located at the end of
any stall series.

10. Please indicate on all building elevations and any future section details, the existing exterior grade
and proposed finished exterior grade and also demonstrate compliance with the Carlsbad Building
Height Definition (CMC Section 21.04.065) (enclosed). See also the city's "Guide for Measuring
Building Height"(enclosed).
11. With a formal application submittal, this mixed-use development will need to demonstrate its
compliance with the Objective Design Standards, specifically as it relates those required for the Village
& Barrio Master Plan . The city has prepared an Informational Bulletin (IB) on the subject. The following
link will take you to IB-302, which also includes various links to references and requirements:
https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/18333/638603458786370000
As a convenience, we have printed IB-302, Form P-47 -Village & Barrio Objective Design Standards
(ODS) Compliance Checklist, and the Village & Barrio Master Plan, Appendix E. Form P-47 will need to
be completed with your initial application submittal. Please note that there are architectural styles
associated with the various subdistricts that will need to be identified and the proposed designed
adhered to. Please review your design against the ODS and revise where any non-compliance might
occur.
12. This preliminary review application did not include a preliminary landscape exhibit(s); and thus, it was
not routed for landscape review. Please note with a formal application submittal, conceptual
landscape exhibits are required and shall be prepared in accordance with the General Requirements
listed in Section 3 of the City of Carlsbad Landscape Manual (February 2016). The exhibit package shall
include a Conceptual Landscape Plan; Conceptual Water Conservation Plan; Conceptual Fire
Protection Plan; and a Conceptual Landscape Maintenance Responsibility Exhibit (private or
common). The Landscape Manual may be found on the city's website at:
https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/234/637425974086270000
13. The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) established a preliminary streamline application process for
housing projects. It is not mandatory unless applicants seek the vesting and processing benefits
offered under SB 330. Participation in the SB 330 streamline process would occur first, followed by
the formal development application process required under Government Code (Gov. Code)§§ 65940,
65941, 65941.5, and Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) § 21.42.050. Acceptance by the city of a
complete SB 330 Streamline Application (Form P-32) and fee will vest the project for 180 days in
accordance with the ordinances, policies and standards in effect at the time the SB 330 Application is
accepted.
14. Per the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330), any project that includes the removal or demolition of a
"protected unit" is required to provide the occupants with 1) relocation benefits (Gov. Code§ 7260
et seq.), and 2) right of first refusal for a comparable unit available in the new housing development.
(Gov. Code § 66300 (d)(2)(D).) "Protected units" are generally defined by Gov. Code §
66300{d)(2)(E)(ii) as including residential units subject to affordability restrictions, price controls, or
occupied by low income households. The formal submittal of the project will need to include
documentation regarding any existing "protected units."
15. New requirements related to the city's goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will likely
impact development requirements of this project. A formal application submittal will need to include
a completed Climate Action Plan Checklist (Form P-30) to determine what requirements will apply to
the project. New GHG reduction requirements are related to energy efficiency, photovoltaic, electric
PRE 2024-0060 (DEV2024-0120)-ROOSEVELT 17
December 10, 2024
Page 6
vehicle charging, water heating and traffic demand management requirements, as set forth in the
California Green Building Standards Code and in Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapters 18.21, 18.30 and
18.51 which is available on the city's website at the following address:
http://www.qcode.us/codes/carlsbad/view.php?topic=18&frames=on
To the extent that new GHG reduction requirements are in effect at the time of application for grading
or building permits, the project will be required to comply with the effective requirements even if
different than what is proposed in the project's planning approvals. GHG reduction requirements may
impact, but are not limited to, site design and local building code requirements. If incorporating new
GHG reduction requirements results in substantial modifications to the project after planning
approvals are obtained, then prior to issuance of grading or building permits, the applicant may be
required to submit and receive approval of a Consistency Determination or an Amendment
application for the project through the Planning Division.
All necessary application forms, submittal requirements, and fee information are available at the Planning
counter located in the Faraday Building at 1635 Faraday Avenue or online at
https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/community-development/planning. You may also access the
General Plan Land Use Element and the Zoning Ordinance online at the website address shown. Please
review all information carefully before submitting.

Carlsbad Fire Department Comments:
1. Hose pull distance is not shown and likely exceeds allowed distance of 150 feet. Roadways must
extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the exterior of the first floor to allow for adequate
firefighting operations and hose pull. Hose pull measurements begin at a point in the st reet
located 10 feet from the edge of the curb. Please show hose pull measurement on the plans and
demonstrate you can reach all points of the first floor of the building within 150 feet.
2. Aerial Fire Apparatus access is insufficient. Buildings greater than 45 feet above grade require
aerial apparatus access from two sides of the building. For this design, aerial access can only be
provided from Roosevelt. This does not meet the requirement for access to two sides of the
building. Aerial access roads must be a minimum of 26 feet in width and located at least 15 feet
and a maximum of 30 feet from the building and shall be positioned parallel to entire side of the
building. Obstructions to ladder deployment, such as mature trees, shall be considered when
determining aerial access point(s).
3. Access walkways must be provided to all required egress doors from a building and all firefighter
access doorways. Access walkways must be a minimum of five feet (5'-0") in width. The walkway
on the SE side of the building is only 4'-7". This will need to be revised.
4. Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings (EEROS): Sleeping rooms below the fourth story above
grade plane shall have not fewer than one exterior EEROS, unless exceptions are met. Such
openings shall open directly into a public way or to a yard or court that opens to a public way. If
provided, demonstrate FD has ability to access EEROs with ground ladders. Show locations for
ladder pads. Provide measurement detail to confirm the access path provides sufficient width for
ladder to be placed at proper climbing angle with adequate working space . The ladder pad shall
be located at a distance from the building determined by measuring the required length of the
ladder at the proper climbing angle. The measurement is made with the top of the ladder leaning
against the emergency rescue opening and the foot of the ladder on the ground. The ladder angle
is to be at least 70 degrees and no greater than 76 degrees. Ladder pad shall be sized 6 feet by 6
feet minimum to allow for 3 feet of working space in front, behind, and around the ladder.
5. Applicants must provide documentation that hydrants are provided in the quantity and spacing
described in California Fire Code (CFC} Appendix C and prove that they are capable of delivering
the amount of water required by CFC Appendix B.
Public Works Transportation Comments:
1. Please submit a Scoping Agreement per the latest City of Carlsbad Transportation Impact Analysis
Guidelines. The scoping agreement is provided in Appendix A of the TIA guidelines.
Housing and Homeless Services Comments:
1. Density Bonus Calculation. When a development permit application proposed under Government
Code § 65915 (state density bonus law) is submitted, the applicant will need to submit Form P-
l(H) -Density Bonus Report (formally known as the Supplemental Checklist). A completed form
will allow confirmation of density calculation, incentive eligibility, affordable unit count and level.
Form P-l(H) can be found on the city of Carlsbad's website:
