Preliminary review of your project was conducted on October 21, 1993. Listed below are
the issues raised by staff. Please note that the purpose of a preliminary review is to
provide you with direction and comments on the overall concept of your project. The
preliminary review does not represent an in-depth analysis of your project. Additional
issues of concern may be raised after your application is submitted and processed for a
more specific and detailed review.
The proposed six lot single family residential development would be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. However, the proposed development does not meet current
City standards, as noted below. We encourage you to review the Beach Area Overlay Zone
staff report (attached), and to redesign the project to meet the standards of the R-2 zone.
We look forward to receiving.a resubmittal of this project in the near future.
1. The proposed lots are non-standard in width (60' minimum required) and exceed
the depth to width ratio of 3:1.
2. If individual driveway openings are proposed for each lot, the curb openings may
pose problems including: curbside parking may not be available; Residential
driveways must have a minimum 12 foot opening and be a maximum of 40-percent
of the lot width; and, Combining driveways is permitted under Planned
Development standards, however, those standards require a minimum width of 30-
feet.
3. The project will be required to construct standard public improvements on both
Date Avenue and Olive Avenue and sufficient transitions to make drainage work.
Public improvements may include curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lights and sufficient
paving section. Offsite easements may be required for the transition to be
completed.
The completion of full public improvements of the cul-de-sac bulb on Olive Avenue
may be required and this will require offsite easements.

4. The 10-foot wide sewer easements may not be sufficient in width if structures are
placed adjacent to the easement edge. We recommend that the applicant pursue
this issue with the Carlsbad Municipal Water District, prior to proceeding with this
project.
5. The subject property is zoned R-2, pursuant to ZC 92-01 (see attached staff report).
The Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ) study, prepared for this area, has
recommended that 'the subject property be developed as duplexes consistent with
the R-2 zone. Duplexes would be compatible with the surrounding single family
residential development in the area. Duplexes could be accommodated on standard
7,500 minimum square foot lots. Up to eight units could be accommodated on the
subject site.
6. The project is subject to noise impacts from the railroad. This project must meet
current City noise standards for residential uses.
7. The subject site is located within the Coastal Zone. The applicant will be required
to obtain a Coastal Development Permit.
Please contact Terri Woods, at (619) 438-1161, extension 4447 if you have any questions.
