II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Project Site/Setting: The 0.32-acre project site is comprised of one legal parcel located on the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Madison Street, addressed as 725 Grand Avenue. The subject property also abuts the Madison Street public alley to the east. The project site is located within Land Use District 1, Carlsbad Village Center, of the Village Master Plan, and is located outside of the coastal zone. Table 1 below identifies the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and surrounding properties.

The project also includes the construction of an enclosed at-grade parking garage with 24 parking spaces, including four (4) car lifts (accommodating a total of 8 cars) for the residential units. The garage as well as the parking lifts will be gated and accessed from the Madison Street public alley. The project is proposing to purchase an additional 19 parking spaces through the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program and is satisfying its inclusionary housing obligation associated with the development of four (4) residential units through the payment of in-lieu inclusionary housing fees. The proposed density of this project is 11.4 dwelling units per acre and will generate a net increase of 232 average daily trips. Grading for the proposed project includes 700 cubic yards of cut and no fill. As a result, a total of 700 cubic yards of material is proposed to be exported from the site. In addition to the 4,600 square feet of commercial retail space predominantly fronting the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Madison Street, as well as the Madison Street frontage, development of the ground floor uses will also include a separate lobby area (457 SF) adjacent to the Grand Avenue frontage with stairs and elevator access to the offices and residential units above. The proposed commercial retail space could accommodate a number of retail tenant opportunities along the corner and the Madison Street frontage, with a majority of the space having been designed to 37 foot depths. The substantial width of the Madison Street frontage (approximately 80 feet) will allow flexibility for a wide variety of retail tenants. Frontage improvements along both Grand Avenue and Madison Street include new curb, gutter, and sidewalks in the areas where the existing driveways will be removed, re- pavement of the alley, as well as enhancements to the existing landscape planters and the addition of new landscape planters. In addition, a small plaza with enhanced pavement and a landscaped planter/seating area is proposed in front of the building, at the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Madison Street. Aside from recreational and open space amenities in the form of a roof decks (912 SF to - 1,295 SF) for each of the four (4) residential units, an interior landscaped courtyard is proposed on the 2nd floor for the office tenants, which includes a large seating area, landscape planters and enhanced flooring. The 3rd and 4th floors are oriented in the same configuration as the 2nd floor and will overlook the planter and common area on the 2nd floor. A 217 SF enclosed storage area is also proposed as an amenity for each of the residential units on the 4th floor. Table 2 below provides a unit summary of each of the upper floors. CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 3 Table 2 – UNIT SUMMARY Floor Level Use No. of Units No. of Bedrooms/Bathrooms Size 2nd Professional Office 4 1 bathroom 5,080 gross/4,064 net 3rd Professional Office 4 None 5,080 gross/4,064 net 4th Residential 4 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms 1,258 SF to 1,484 SF The proposed architectural design is characterized as contemporary and utilizes building form, materials and colors to reinforce this theme. The ground floor of the proposed building incorporates two (2) predominant decorative materials, natural stone and composite wood. To provide a pedestrian scale, the massing of the upper three floors has been stepped back from Madison Street, canopies are provided over the retail space, and the retail window openings extend to the ground. To further enhance the pedestrian experience, street trees currently exist along Grand Avenue and Madison Street and a planter with a seating area is incorporated in the plaza. As discussed above, private balconies and decks have been added for the residents and professional office occupants. Material changes and clearly defined offsets are utilized to break the building into smaller vertical units also help break up the massing of the building. Such material changes include a decorative metal parapet cap, three different colors of horizontal composite wood paneling, multi-colored tinted glazing, driftwood-colored tile, metal awnings over the retail area and metal vine trellises along the elevation which includes the parking garage. Allowable architectural projections, including a projection for the elevator (southwest corner of the building) and the stair shaft, are proposed up to a height of 58’-4”. A majority of the permissible architectural projections, however, do not exceed 3’-6” above the 45’ height limit. A Tentative Tract Map (CT) is required to separate the ground floor retail area and create the professional office and residential air space condominium units on floors 2, 3 and 4. The Major Review Permit (RP) is required for new construction of a building within the Village Area that has a building permit valuation greater than $150,000. Both permits require a Planning Commission recommendation and City Council approval. III. ANALYSIS The proposed project is subject to the following ordinances, standards, and policies: A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation; B. Village Review (V-R) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.35), Land Use District 1 - Carlsbad Village Center (Village Master Plan and Design Manual); C. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.85); D. Subdivision Ordinance (C.M.C. Title 20); and E. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90), Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 1. A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use Designation The subject property, comprising one (1) legal parcel, has a General Plan Land Use designation of Village (V). As discussed in the Village Master Plan, properties within the Village Area do not have an assigned residential density as it relates to Growth Management Plan compliance. Therefore, the minimum and maximum densities for residential development are established in the Village Master Plan. For mixed use projects, the minimum allowable density is calculated based on 50% of the developable area. Table 3 below identifies the permissible density range for properties located within Land Use District 1. CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 4 TABLE 3 – PROJECT DENSITY Gross Acres Net Acres Allowable Density Range Project Density 0.321 ac Same Density Range : 28-35 du/ac Pursuant to the Village Master Plan, the minimum density for mixed use projects shall be calculated based on 50% of the developable area. 50% of the developable area: 0.321 x 0.50 = 0.16 acres 4 units/0.16 ac = 25 du/ac** TABLE 4 – PROJECT YIELD Gross Acres Net Acres Min/Max Dwelling Units per Village Master Plan Proposed Yield 0.321 ac Same Minimum units based on 50% of the developable area: 0.321 x 0.50 = 0.16 acres 0.16 acres x 28 du/ac = 4.48 units (Pursuant to Table A of CMC Section 21.53.120, a unit yield which results in a fractional unit below 0.5 may be rounded down) Maximum units: 0.321 acres x 35 du/ac = 11.2 units 4-11 dwelling units = allowable range 4 dwelling units **Although the project’s proposed density of 25 dwelling units per acre falls below the minimum density of the 28 dwelling units per acre, pursuant to CMC Section 21.53.230, Table A, unit yields rounded down that result in a density which is below the minimum density shall be found consistent with the General Plan. Pursuant to the Housing Element of the General Plan, because a Growth Management Control Point has not been established for residential development in the Village, all residential units approved in the Village must be withdrawn from the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. The City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank is implemented through City Council Policy No. 43. Pursuant to City Council Policy No. 43, an applicant for an allocation of dwelling units shall agree to provide the number of inclusionary units as required pursuant to C.M.C. Section 21.85.050. As discussed in Section C below, the proposal to pay the in-lieu inclusionary housing fees for four (4) residential units is consistent with the inclusionary housing requirements as set forth in City Council Policy No. 43. In addition, the project is accordingly- conditioned to require to pay the requisite in-lieu inclusionary housing fees prior to recordation of the final map. In approving a request for an allocation of excess dwelling units, the project shall meet the findings identified in City Council Policy No. 43. Specifically, the project location and density shall be found to be compatible with adjacent land uses and applicable provisions of the General Plan and other applicable planning documents. As discussed in the attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 7125, the proposed project meets these findings. As the proposed project requires approval from City Council, the City Council is the final decision-making authority for the allocation from the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 5 The following Table 5 describes how the proposed project is consistent with the various elements of the Carlsbad General Plan. TABLE 5 - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE, OR PROGRAM PROPOSED USES & IMPROVEMENTS COMPLY Land Use Goal A.1 - A City which preserves, enhances and maintains the Village as a place for living, working, shopping, recreation, civic and cultural functions while retaining the Village atmosphere and pedestrian scale. The proposed mixed-use development not only provides mutually supportive uses in the form of residential, professional office and retail opportunities, but reinforces the pedestrian-orientation desired for the downtown area by providing new residents and employees an opportunity to walk to local shopping, dining, recreation, and mass transit functions; its close proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit help to further the goal of providing new economic and residential development near transportation corridors; and lastly, will contribute to the revitalization of the Village area in the form of a new building in the core of the Village; new commercial lease space, new employment opportunities and new consumers. Yes Goal A.2 – A City which creates a distinct identity for the Village by encouraging activities that traditionally locate in a pedestrian-oriented downtown area, including offices, restaurants and specialty retail shops. Goal A.3 - A City which encourages new economic development in the Village and near transportation corridors to retain and increase resident-serving uses. Goal A.4 – A City that encourages a variety of complementary uses such as a combination of residential and commercial uses to generate a lively, interesting social environment and a profitable business setting.

As less than seven (7) units are proposed, the inclusionary requirements may be satisfied through the payment to the city of an in-lieu fee. The project has been accordingly-conditioned to require the payment of the applicable housing in-lieu fee for four (4) units prior to recordation of the final map. Yes Policy 3.4 - Adhere to City Council Policy Statement 43 when considering allocation of units from the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. In approving a request for an allocation of excess dwelling units, the project shall meet the findings identified in City Council Policy No. 43. Specifically, the project location and density shall be found to be compatible with adjacent land uses and the project is consistent with the General Plan and any other applicable planning document. As discussed in the attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 7125, the proposed project meets these findings. Circulation Objective B.1 Provide adequate circulation infrastructure concurrent with or prior to the actual demand for such facilities. The proposed project has been designed to meet all of the circulation requirements, which includes but is not limited to, curb, gutter and sidewalk, where appropriate, and improving the Madison Street Alley frontage. Yes Public Safety Policy C.1 - Design all structures in accordance with the seismic design standards of the California Building Code (CBC) and State building requirements. The proposed building is required to be designed in conformance with all seismic design standards of the California Building Code (CBC) and State building requirements.

Yes CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 9 TABLE 6 – VILLAGE MASTER PLAN, LAND USE DISTRICT 1 (CARLSBAD VILLAGE CENTER)(CONTINUED) STANDARD REQUIRED/ALLOWED PROPOSED COMPLY Parking: Commercial Retail: One (1) space per 300 sq. ft. of net floor area. 3,680 SF ÷ 300 sq. ft. = 12 spaces Proposed: 24 spaces on-site, plus a request to purchase 19 parking credits. 24 parking space are provided onsite via a combination of 4 parking lifts for the residential units, each of which can accommodate 2 cars (i.e., total of 8 spaces provided), and an enclosed at- grade parking garage and tuck under parking which includes 16 spaces that will be allocated to the retail and professional office uses. The balance of the required parking, 19 parking spaces, will be provided through the participation in the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program. In addition to the existing on-street parking that exists on Madison Street and Grand Avenue, including along the project frontage, Public Parking Lots A (55 spaces) and B (55 spaces) are one block to the west, on the east side of Roosevelt Street. Findings of support are discussed below and also in Planning Commission Resolution No. 7125. Yes Professional office: (1) space per 350 sq. ft. of net floor area. 8,130 SF ÷ 350 sq. ft. = 23 spaces Multi-family Dwellings (outside coastal zone): Two (2) spaces per 2-bedrooms or more  For condominiums, at least one space must be covered.  Residential development must provide its parking onsite. Guest: No spaces required for properties located outside of coastal zone Proposed project: 4, two-bedroom condominiums 2 spaces x 4 units = 8 spaces (4 spaces required to be covered) CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 10 Total Spaces Required: 12 + 23 + 8 = 43 spaces 8 spaces must be provided onsite for the 4 residential units; at least one space per residential unit is required to be covered. The remaining spaces can be provided onsite, or satisfied via the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program. Compact Parking A maximum 40% of the total number of parking spaces provided on-site may be constructed to meet the requirements of a small or compact vehicle. 40% of 24 spaces = 9 spaces 9 compact spaces provided. Yes As discussed in Table 6 above, the project proposes to satisfy a portion of its parking requirement to provide 19 parking spaces off-site through participation in the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program. The fees collected from the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program are deposited into an earmarked, interest- bearing fund to be used for construction of new, or maintenance of existing, public parking facilities within the Village Area. For the purposes of determining participation in the program, the Village has been divided into two (2) parking zones (i.e., Zone 1 and Zone 2). Outside of the Coastal Zone, a property/business owner is eligible to participate in the program if located in either of these zones regardless of proximity to an existing or future public parking lot. The subject property is located within Zone 1 and is also located within 300 feet of two (2) existing public parking lots (i.e., Lots A and B), which combined have a total of 110 parking spaces (see Attachment No. 3). In accordance with the standards set forth in the Village Master Plan, developers/property owners within this zone may be allowed to make an in-lieu fee payment for up to one hundred percent (100%) of the on-site parking requirement for proposed new development, conversion and/or intensifications of use. The project applicant is requesting participation in the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program for 19 parking spaces or 44% of the total required parking for the project. As a condition of project approval, the applicant shall be required to enter into an agreement to pay the parking in-lieu fee prior to the issuance of building permits for the project. The current fee is $11,240 per required parking space to be provided off-site. In order to participate in the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program the following findings must be made by the appropriate decision-making authority: 1. The proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual; 2. The proposed use is consistent with the land use district in which the property is located; 3. Adequate parking is available within the Village to accommodate the project’s parking demands; and CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 11 4. The In-Lieu Fee Program has not been suspended or terminated by the City Council. Justification for the above referenced findings is as follows: 1. The project is consistent with Village Review Master Plan and Design Manual in that the project assists in satisfying the goals and objectives through the following actions 1) the mixed-use project stimulates property improvements and new development in the Village by constructing a new permitted mixed-use building in an area with a mix of dated buildings and increasing the intensity of development within the Village; 2) it establishes Carlsbad Village as a quality shopping, working and living environment by providing new employment opportunities; increasing the number, quality, diversity and affordability of housing units within the Village; and reinforcing pedestrian retail continuity within the Village commercial areas; and 3) improves the physical appearance of the Village Area by redeveloping an underutilized site along Grand Avenue and Madison Street with a new attractive building that adheres to the land use regulations and design guidelines set forth for the area. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and objectives set forth for Land Use District 1 of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual in that the mixed-use development not only provides mutually supportive uses in the form of residential, professional office and commercial retail uses along Grand Avenue and Madison Street, but reinforces the pedestrian-orientation desired for the downtown area by providing new residents and employees an opportunity to walk to local shopping, dining, recreation, and mass transit functions; furthermore, its close proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit help to further the goal of providing new economic and residential development near transportation corridors; and lastly, it will contribute to the revitalization of the Village area in the form of a new building in the core of the Village; new commercial lease space, new employment opportunities and new consumers. 3. Adequate parking is available within the Village to accommodate the project's parking demands. Based on the most recent parking study dated September, 2014, the average occupancy for all public parking lots is 70%. This utilization ratio allows for continued implementation of the parking in-lieu fee program because it is less than the 85% threshold for maximum utilization set by the City Council; and 4. The In-Lieu Fee Program has not been suspended or terminated by the City Council. Based on these findings, it is staff’s recommendation that the proposed project warrants granting participation in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program for a maximum of 19 parking spaces. If the City Council grants participation in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program the project will satisfy its parking requirement as set forth in the Village Master Plan. C. Inclusionary Housing Pursuant to C.M.C. Chapter 21.85, for all residential development less than seven units, the inclusionary housing requirement may be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. The proposal to construct four (4) residential condominium units has been accordingly-conditioned to pay the applicable housing in-lieu fee for four (4) units prior to final map approval. CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 12 D. Subdivision Ordinance The proposed project consists of the development of a four (4) story mixed use condominium project. Specifically, one (1) ground floor commercial unit, eight (8) office units and four (4) residential condominium units are proposed. As conditioned, the design of the proposed tentative tract map and the improvements are consistent with and satisfy the requirements of the General Plan, Village Master Plan, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act. In addition, the design of the subdivision and the required improvements will not conflict with easements of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. All easements have been identified and none are affected by the proposed subdivision. E. Growth Management The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest quadrant of the city. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table 7 below.

Pursuant to the Village Master Plan, based upon the gross 0.32 acres on the site, up to 11 residential dwelling unit may be built. Therefore, as four (4) residential dwelling units are proposed, a total of four (4) residential dwelling units are proposed to be deducted from the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. Pursuant to Planning Commission Resolution No. 7125, the allocation from the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank can be supported. CT 15-04/RP 15-06 – THE GRAND MADISON October 7, 2015 Page 13 IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found not to have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) Class 32 Categorical Exemption of the State CEQA Guidelines. The project is consistent with the General Plan, the Village Master Plan, and the Zoning Ordinance; the project site is within the City limits, is less than 5 acres in size, and is surrounded by urban uses; there is no evidence that the site has value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; approval of the project will not result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon final project approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 7125 2. Location Map 3. Village Public Parking Lots 4.

Edward McArdle AIA Kirk Moeller President Project Architect MAA Architects Architecture * Planning * Interiors 2173 Salk Ave. Suite 250 Carlsbad, California 92008 Phone: 760-431-7775 Project Analysis Conclusion Date: September 15, 2015 To: City of Carlsbad Attn: Shannon Werneke Associate Planner 1635 Faraday Ave. Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-602-4621 From: Edward McArdle AIA & Kirk Moeller Project Architect Re: CT 15-04 / RP 15-06 – The Grand Madison Shannon, In response to Imagine Carlsbad's comments regarding retail space depth and parking configurations for The Grand Madison project, MAA Architects has conducted a feasibility study to determine the viability of an underground parking garage. The following is a summary of our findings. The Northwestern third of the building frontage on Grand contains an average retail depth of 47'-0". Due to the East/West site grade change it is not possible to add a retail entry on Madison Street. This portion of the building is close to what the Imagine Carlsbad's members feel is a desired retail depth. The expansion of the remaining retail space to a depth of 50'-0" would require an additional 13'-0" of depth. This increase will yield a total of 1,110 gross square feet of additional commercial retail space. This expanded retail space would require (4) additional parking stalls bringing the total number of required spaces to (47). Based on our current site plan the retail expansion would require a total loss of (9) parking spaces bringing the total onsite parking count to (15). This would require the property owner to request a total of (32) parking stall credits. This is (13) credits in addition to the (19) that are currently requested. We understand that the property owner can choose to request as many parking stall credits as needed to support the desired project. However, our Client and MAA feel this direction would create a negative reaction for the approval of The Grand Madison Project. Our current site plan has been designed to maximize required onsite parking for the residential and office component with residual parking towards retail uses. Parking convenience is a very important element for potential tenants. The more onsite parking available, the more attractive the project will be to potential tenants. As described above, our current site plan does not allow for a 50'-0" deep retail space. Our Client asked MAA to explore an additional option involving constructing an underground parking garage to accommodate required parking. See attached reference site plan exhibit showing a 50'-0" deep retail space and underground parking garage. The underground parking garage area contains (21) spaces with (6) spaces at grade (3 car lift type spaces) adjacent to the existing alley. This is a total of (27) spaces. (47) total spaces are required for the added retail space described above. This would require a request for a total of (20) parking stall credits. This is (1) credit in addition to the (19) that are currently proposed. Additionally, the attached exhibit does not allow for a city standard trash enclosure design and could require the loss of one additional parking space bringing the total requested parking credits to (21). Finally, the cost to construct the underground parking structure has been determined to be approximately $1,500,000. In conclusion, based on our findings above we have found that it is not economically feasible to construct and underground parking structure or expand the Northeastern 70% of the building to a depth of 50'-0" for reasons mentioned above. Specifically, both options would require the property owner to request more parking credits than currently requested. The cost of underground construction is very expensive ($1,363.64 / SF) for an additional 1,110 square feet that we are still unable to park onsite. Considering this feasibility result, it seems evident that the current site design submitted for approval is more practical than the above revisions. The cost to construct an underground Parking Structure would create an expense that would eventually need to be passed on to potential tenants in either rent or sales prices.

Under either scenario, these spaces are considerably small and it’s my experience that retail tenants prefer frontage over depth. Additionally, we will have approximately 1,500 square feet of the total 4,690 square feet of retail with an average of 47’ bay depths. Please keep in mind we are only talking about 3,190 rentable square feet that has 37’ bay depths. We are marketing the property to tenants such as Life Style companies both national and internationally based (i.e. Sun Bum, Oakley and Vom Fass). We have received positive feedback. With limited product and high demand, I really can’t imagine this being an issue for attracting high end users. Best Regards, COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL Amy A.

GOOD PLANTING DESIGN BASED ON THE SELECTION OF A BALANCED PALLET OF LOW AND MEDIUM WATER CONSUMING PLANTS AND MINIMAL USE OF HIGH WATER CONSUMING PLANT SPECIES. ARRANGMENT OF THESE PLANTS INTO LIKE WATER USE ZONES.2. THOROUGH SOIL PREPARATION BY INCORPORATING PROCESSED ORGANICS NTO THE EXISTING SITE SOIL. THIS WILL INCREASE THE SOIL'S WATER HOLDING CAPACITIES AND ALSO ENCOURAGE HIGHER LEVELS OFMICROBIC ACTIVITY IN THE SOIL. HIGHER LEVELS OF MICROBIC ACTIVITY PROMOTE GOOD PLANT HEALTH AND GROWTH THUS LIMITING THE USE OF CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS.3. LIMIT THE USE OF ORNAMENTAL TURF AREAS. NO ORNAMENTAL TURF WILL BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT.4. SELECTION OF LOW WATER DEMAND PLANTS (PLEASE REVIEW PLANT LEGEND).5. INCORPORATION OF EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT IRRIGATION DESIGN CONCEPTS, I.E. CIRCUIT ZONES BASED UPON SUN / SHADE EXPOSURE AND SLOPE VS LEVEL PLANTING AREAS, GROUP TREES, SHRUBS, AND GROUND COVERS SEPARATELY FROM LAWNS, USE OF SUBSURFACE DRIP AND MICROSPRAY IRRIGATION WATER DELIVERY HARDWARE, SPECIFICATION OF WEATHER BASED IRRIGATION CONTROLLER WITH THE ABILITY TO MANAGE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS, INCORPORATE ANTI DRAIN CHECK VALVES TO ELIMINATE LOW HEAD DRAINAGE AND USE OF A FLOW SENSOR/MASTER VALVE CONFIGURATION PROGRAMMED TO DETECT LINE AND SPRINKLER BREAKS AND TO SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN WHEN BREAK ARE DETECTED.6. INCORPORATION OF SHREDDED WOOD MULCH APPLIED TO THE SURFACE OF ALL SHRUB AND GROUND COVER AREAS IN ORDER TO REDUCE SOIL MOISTURE EVAPORATION AND TO IMPROVE SOIL STRUCTURE BY THE DECOMPOSITION OF THE ORGANIC MULCH OVER TIME.7. PROPER LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY HIRING A PROVEN LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR KNOWLEGABLE IN THE PRACTICE OF GOOD XERISCAPE PRINCIPALS. THIS CONTRACTOR WILL PROVIDE AN ONGOING EVALUATION AND ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM TO INSURE THEABOVE MENTIONED PRINCIPALS ARE WORKING TO THEIR UTMOST EFFICIENCY OVER THE LIFE OF THIS LANDSCAPE. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR RECLAIMED WATER1. ALL PLANTED AREAS REPRESENTED IN A HATCH PATTERN ON THIS SHEET ARE TO BE IRRIGATED WITH POTABLE WATER AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER THE NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE USE OF RECLAIMED WATER IN THE FUTURE SHOULD IT BECOME AVAILABLE.LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES1. THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING ALL LANDSCAPED AREAS THAT LIE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE SITE’S PROPERTY LINES AND THE 3 TREE WELLS LOCATED WITHIN THE R.O.W. ALONG GRAND AVENUE. THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OFTHE THE TWO EXISTING PLANTERS AND SMALL EXPANSION AREA WITHIN ONE OF THESE PLANTERS THAT ARE LOCATED ALONG MADISON STREET AND GRAND AVENUE. 462 CK TO 1947 463CK TO 1947 1947FD PK HV14531FT O/S BLDG 4541FT O/S BLDG 455 1FT O/S BLDG 456 1FT O/S BLDG 457 1FT O/S BLDG 459 FD CN 645 fl dw 646 tc dw 647 ac648 ac 649ac 81SET CL5050OBS.OBS.Obscured Are49.450.252.750.552.251.751.652.252.249.349.248.451.7Conc.Asph.Asph.1-2PARKING STALL LIFT3-4PARKING STALL LIFTUPSTAIR 2TRASHRECYCLEUPSTAIR 1COMMERCIAL RETAIL24 SPACESCOVERED PARKINGLOBBY9C10C11C12C13C14C15C16C22212018ELEC.PLAZAELEV.ELEV.ELEV.EQUIP.5-6PARKING STALL LIFT7-8PARKING STALL LIFT17C1923246,308 SFPLANTERS-2 OCC.TYPE 111B CONSTRUCTIONLINE OF BUILDINGWALL ABOVEPLTSEATPLANT20" tallSEATSEAT2.0%2.0%0.79%2.0%49.34 FF50.67 FF8.00%2.0%1.0%1.0%1.0%51.60 GF1.32%2.0% FLOW THROUGH PLANTER36"X36" CATCH BASIN WITH PEDESTRIAN GRATE49.02 TG46.0 IE OUT8" HDPE @ 0.8%12" HDPE @ 1.0%25' 15'LIMITS OF IMPROVEMENTS0.5% 0.5% \pt0;1.5%24'EXISTING 3 - PARALLEL PARKING SPACESREMOVE EXIST.
