Include any details necessary to adequately explain the scope and/or operation of the proposed project. You may also include any background information and supporting statements regarding the reasons for, or appropriateness of, the application. Use an addendum sheet if necessary. Descnption/Exptanation: The proposed project is an apartment project, including 101 senior units in a single building, and 263 regular apartment units in 22 buildings. A leasing/recreation building and pool area is also proposed. The property is 21.4 acres in size, and is accessed from El Camino Real. TTie project has a General Plan designation of RH (Residential-High density). The property is Zoned Planned Community (P-C) and thus is regulated by the Robertson Ranch Master Plan, which allows for attached apartment or condominium development. Surrounding properties will be developed with single family and commercial development by the Toll Brothers IIK. developers, in accordance with the Master Plan. The 101 senior apartment units are proposed for the northeastern portion of Planning Area 8. They will also indude a parking lot with carports in accordance with the requirements of the Senior Housing Ordinance of the Carlsbad Zoning Code. The entire senior housing project will be price-restricted and made available to low-income households in accordance with the Robertson Ranch West Village Affordable Housing Agreement. The 263 regular apartment units will be developed in 12-unit buildings, dispersed across all of Plarming Area 7 and much of Planning Area 8. Single car garages and open sparking lots are provided for these units. A leasing and recreation building and area is also proposed to accommodate the recreation requirements of the Master Plan. In accordance with the requirements of the Affordable Housing Agreement, 56 of the regular apartment units will be price-restricted as available to moderate income level households. A single car garage is proposed for each unit. To accommodate the inclusion of individual garages, a "standards modification" is proposed to allow for reduced width of the garages from 12-ft to 10-ft in width. Reducing the garage width by 2-feet allows for all units to possess a private parage. Uncovered parking lots are provided in locatiorw convenient to the units to allow for 2 resid«tt parking spaces per unit, in accordance with the requirements of the Carlsbad Parking Ordinance. The subject project will be constructed on flat pads which will be graded in conjunction with the gradiitg permit for CT 13-03. P-1(B) Page 1 of 1 Revised 07/10 Ernest J.

Per SMA Section 66451.1, this time limit may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant and the city to allow for concurrent processing of related approvals or an environmental review of the project. By accepting applications for tentative parcel maps concurrently with applications for other approvals that are prerequisites to the map (e.g., Environmental Information Form, Environmental Impact Report, Condominium Permit, Planned Unit Development), the 50-day time limit is often exceeded. For the city to process a tentative parcel map application concurrently, the property owner or applicant must sign this agreement. If this agreement is not signed, the city will accept the tentative parcel map application only after all prerequisites to the map have been processed and approved. The undersigned acknowledges the processing time required by the city is expected to exceed the 50-day time restriction and hereby waives such time restriction for city planner action.

Based on our review, the application is still missing pertinent information for staff to perform a complete review of the project and is therefore deemed 'incomplete'. Below, we have provided a list of 'incomplete' items and 'engineering issues'. Prior to resubmittal, please have the applicant provide the 'incomplete' items and address the 'engineering issues': Incomplete Items 1. Response to PA 4 layout/configuration changes state they will be processed by CT 13- 03. Staff has not seen any progress on these changes. The revised final map and/or Substantial Conformance Exhibit have not been submitted for city review yet. Once substantial progress has been made for these changes, staff could support the PA 4 changes shown on these exhibits. 2. Provide a geotechnical report addressing subsurface site conditions, geotechnical feasibility, and proposed grading measures required for this project. 3. Revise the preliminary Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) to include BMP/HMP sizing calculations for the detention vault/modular wetlands systems proposed on the Tentative Parcel Map. Although the preliminary SWMP was revised, it does not include clear sizing calculations for the modular wetlands systems and detention (hydromodification) vault. Refer to redlines and resubmit new copies ofthe preliminary SWMP. m Robertson Ranch West - IW7 & 8 October 31, 2014 Page 2 of 3 Engineering Issues 1. Submit a geotechnical report that includes design guidance on the use of onsite permeable pavement as it relates to soils with low infiltration rates. The preliminary SWMP indicates low soil permeability, therefore BMPs do not contemplate soil infiltration. However, exhibits on PA 7 & 8 include an extensive use of permeable pavement. Since these permeable areas affect the runoff rates (and BMP sizes), staff is seeking assurance their use is acceptable through the project. 2. Revise the preliminary SWMP to use the updated 303d listing and update the impaired water bodies this project drains to. Also clarify the land use types and refer to the updated Municipal Permit (Order No. 2013-0001). Address the other redlines on the returned preliminary SWMP. 3. Revise each sheet to show and callout dedication of public water easements to CMWD for onsite potable water systems, versus a general utility and access easement. 4. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal regarding the proposed preliminary fire hydrant locations and revise the design if necessary. Some of the hydrants appear too close to structures. Refer to redlines. 5. On sheet 9, clarify the height of fence/wall proposed along pool. 6. On sheet 9, provide a typical section where this project abuts PA 4 to demonstrate changes in grade as it relates to the adjacent property. Provide another typical section where the pedestrian ramp runs along Robertson Road. Refer to redlines. 7. On sheet 9, extend the vehicular pop-out paving near building 15 so the vehicle can back out. Refer to redline. 8. On sheet 9, revise the fire hydrant located in a parking stall. Coordinate with the fire marshal on approved locations. 9. On sheet 9, callout a proposed pedestrian access easement over a portion of PA for the benefit of PA 8. This appears necessary as the revised sidewalk design crosses over this adjacent lot. 10. On sheet 11, shift the waterline away from building 19. Refer to redlines. 11. Revise the exhibits to address all other the redlines (see attached). Attached are redlined SWMP and Site Plan/TPM exhibits for the project submittal. Please Robertson Ranch West - Wr! & 8 October 31, 2014 Page 3 of 3 return this redlines check print with the revised plans and studies to facilitate continued staff review.

Response: O'Day Consultants has revised the Preliminary SWMP, including the justification for using porous pavement, and the modular wetland sizing recommendations from the manufacturer. The hydromodification sizing calculations from Tory Walker Engineering is also included. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. The El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards are intended to serve as specific guidelines to development along the El Camino Real Corridor. Where practical application of the standards is not feasible and not in the best interest of good planning practices, deviations to the standards may be approved by the Planning Commission. The proposed project is within the Area 3 segment of the corridor. -Standards Us I, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 of the ECRC were applicable to the grading design and street improvements established by Tentative Tract Map CT 13-03. Standard #5, building height, was modified for Planning Area 7 by the Robertson Ranch Master Plan and allows a maximum building height of 40 feet. Standards #7 and 10 apply to the proposed multi-family buildings of Planning Area 7. Please provide a written feasibility analysis regarding the proposed building setbacks from the El Camino Real right-of-way. Response: The proposed project includes a much greater setback (112 ft vs. 40 ft) than required. But the top of slope setback is 5 feet shorter than that required. The purpose of the setback standard is to "maintain and enhance the appearance of the El Camino Real roadway area", and to "retain the natural rolling hillside qualities". The proposed project has provided a 112-foot setback, which contains a heavily-landscaped contour-graded slope. This slope provides a resemblance to natural rolling hillsides to a greater degree than would the minimum 40-foot setback slope. A glass noise wall will be provided at the top of slope, as required by the EIR and the Master Plan. The ECRC provides findings which allow for some flexibility and deviation from the standards. In approving such deviations, the Planning Commission must make the following findings (listed 'a' thru 'd', with justification provided): a) Compliance with a particular standard is infeasible for a particular proiect, It is our opinion that it is infeasible to shift the buildings northerly 5-feet in order to achieve the 15- foot top-of-slope setback because the PA 7 site is relatively shallow and the plan needs to meet street grade on the north side. A shift of the development site layout 5-feet to the north would result in the needs for retaining walls, and a steepening of the driveways, including the 5% slope secondary driveway which contains perpendicular parking spaces running down each side of the driveway. In short, the property is constrained by the necessary horizontal and vertical dimensions of the site, and shifting of the site plan will; (a) increase the slope ofthe entry driveways, (b) make the parking spaces more difficult to use, and (c) result in the need for retaining walls on the north end. Making-up the 5- feet in the buildings, would necessitate a reduction in the depth of the buildings, which would also be undesirable inasmuch as a separate [smaller] building floor plan would need to be compiled for this PLANNING SYSTEMS site only. This change would result in a less-desirable [smaller] floor plan for a project which includes moderate-priced housing. City policy generally discourages reduced floor plans for affordable housing units. Also, the Master Plan stipulates 116 units for the PA 7 property. The project proposes 96 units for PA 7, which is already 20 units less than the number which was originally anticipated per the Master Plan. The applicant is requesting a master plan amendment in order to bring the Master Plan in line with the proposed project. Increasing the top-of-slope setback could only result in reducing this number of units further, which would be contrary to the intent of the Master Plan. The Master Plan requires a minimum 20 du/ac density for PA's 7 and 8 together. A reduction in the number of units would reduce this density to below that required. b) That the scenic qualities of the corridor will continue to be maintained if the standard is not fiilfilled. The scenic qualities of the ECR corridor will continue to be maintained and even enhanced because the proposed ROW setback (112 ft or more) are significantly greater than the setback required (40 ft). This setback will contain heavily-landscaped contour-graded slopes, which will; (a) maintain a rolling hillside open space ambiance along ECR, and (b) keep the urban development over twice as far away from ECR as would be otherwise allowed. It is our conclusion that the reduced top-of-slope setback is more than made up by the increased overall ROW setback and extensive landscaping proposed. Further, the project will enhance the appearance ofthe El Camino Real roadway and contribute to the desired easily-identifiable homogeneous single design concept for ECR through the proposed extensive building setback, and heavily-landscaped corridor adjacent to the ECR right-of-way. An additional increased setback of 10 or so more feet fi-om the top of slope at this distance will not improve the visual impact significantly. The altemative solutions of creating a top of slope retaining wall, or lowering the site pad overall will both, in our opinion, create greater negative visual impacts. The proposed design complies with the two findings for modification in 21.95 referenced above. c) That the proiect will not have an adverse impact on traffic safety, and The proposed top-of-slope setback deviation will not affect traffic safety. All lines-of-sight and vehicular roadways and drives will continue to be maintained. Traffic safety along El Camino Real will be maintained. d) That the proiect is designed so as to meet the intent of the scenic preservation overlay zone. The proposed project conforms to the intent of the Scenic Preservation Overlay in that it provides a significantly greater than required setback from the ROW, the design theme for ECR is maintained; the deyelopment will provide a distant building mass which will preclude a "tunnel effect" of buildings along the roadway; the project will include screening the roof equipment of the development; it will preserve scenic views; and maintaining traffic safety along El Camino Real. The proposed project implements the goals and objectives of the General Plan in that it is consistent with the Robertson Ranch Master Plan. The Robertson Ranch Master Plan has been found to comply with all applicable General Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies, including Land Use. The project is consistent with the Master Plan and, therefore, is also in compliance with the General Plan. Engineering: 1. Submit a geotechnical report that includes design guidance on the use of onsite permeable pavement as it relates to soils with low infiltration rates. The preliminary SWMP indicates low soil permeability, therefore BMPs do not contemplate soil infiltration. However, exhibits on PA 7 PLANNING SYSTEMS & 8 include an extensive use of permeable pavement. Since these permeable areas affect the runoff rates (and BMP sizes), staff is seeking assurance their use is acceptable through the project. Response: The section ofthe Soils Report from GeoSoils Inc. regarding percolation rates has been included in the revised Preliminary SWMP. Justification for the use of porous pavement has also been added to the SWMP. 2. Revise the preliminary SWMP to use the updated 303d listing and update the impaired water bodies this project drains to. Also clarify the land use types and refer to the updated Municipal Permit (Order NO. 2013-0001). Address the other redlines on the retumed preliminary SWMP. Response: The Preliminary SWMP has been revised to update the 303d listing of impaired water bodies, and have clarified the land use types, as requested.. 3. Revise each sheet to show and callout dedication ofpublic water easements to CMWD for onsite potable water systems, versus a general utility and access easement Response: The sheets have been revised as requested, including removal ofthe general utility and access easement, and the addition of a public water easement. 4. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal regarding the proposed preliminary fire hydrant locations and revise the design if necessary. Some of the hydrants appear too close to structures. Refer to redlines. Response: We have met with the Fire Marshal as suggested to discuss the locations of fire hydrants. Per the Fire Marshal's suggestion, several of the fire hydrants have been moved further away from buildings.. 5. On sheet 9, clarijy the height offence/wall proposed along pool. Response: The fence height has been added along the pool. 6. On sheet 9, provide a typical section where this project abuts PA 4 to demonstrate changes in grade as it relates to the adjacent property. Provide another typical section where the pedestrian ramp runs along Robertson Road. Refer to redlines. Response: We have added cross sections at PA 4, as suggested. 7. On sheet 9, extend the vehicular pop-out paving near building 15 so that vehicle can back out. Refer to redline. Response: The vehicular pop-out has been extended near building 15 as suggested. 8. On sheet 9, revise the fire hydrant located in a parking shall. Coordinate with the fire marshal on approved locations. Response: The subject fire hydrant has been removed from the parking stall in the revised plan set. 9. On sheet 9, callout a proposed pedestrian access easement over a portion of PA for the benefit of PA 8. This appears necessary as the revised sidewalk design crosses over this adjacent lot. PLANNING SYSTEMS Response: A net for a pedestrian access easement on PA 4 has been added as suggested. 10. On sheet 11, shift the waterline away from building 19. Refer to redlines. Response: The water main has been shifted away from building 19 as suggested. 11. Revise the exhibits to address all other redlines (see attached). Response: All other redline comments have been completed on the revised plan set. Landscaping REPEAT COMMENTS 1. Completed. 2. Completed. 3.

Response to PA 4 layout/configuration changes state they will be processed by CT 13-03. Staff has not seen any progress on these changes. The revised final map and/or Substantial Conformance Exhibit have not been submitted for city review yet. Once substantial progress has been made for these changes, staff could support the PA 4 changes shown on these exhibits. 2. Provide a geotechnical report addressing subsurface site conditions, geotechnical feasibility, and proposed grading measures required for this project. 3. Revise the preliminary Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) to include BMP/HMP sizing calculations for the detention vault/modular wetlands systems proposed on the Tentative Parcel Map. Although the preliminary SWMP was revised, it does not include clear sizing calculations for the modular wetlands systems and detention (hydromodification) vault. Refer to redlines and resubmit new copies ofthe preliminary SWMP. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. The El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards are intended to serve as specific guidelines to development along the El Camino Real Corridor. Where practical application ofthe standards is not feasible and not in the best interest of good planning practices, deviations to the standards may be approved by the Planning Commission. The proposed project is within the Area 3 segment of the corridor. Standards #s 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 of the ECRC were applicable to the grading design and street improvements established by Tentative Tract Map CT 13-03. Standard # 5, building height, was modified for Planning Area 7 by the Robertson Ranch Master Plan and allows a maximum building height of 40 feet. Standards # 7 and 10 apply to the proposed multi-family buildings of Planning Area 7. Please provide a written feasibility analysis regarding the proposed building setbacks from the El Camino Real right-of-way. Engineering: 1. Submit a geotechnical report that includes design guidance on the use of onsite permeable pavement as it relates to soils with low infiltration rates. The preliminary SWMP indicates low soil permeability, therefore BMPs do not contemplate soil infiltration. However, exhibits on PA 7 & 8 include an extensive use of permeable pavement. Since these permeable areas affect the runoff rates (and BMP sizes), staff is seeking assurance their use is acceptable through the project. 2. Revise the preliminary SWMP to use the updated 303d listing and update the impaired water bodies this project drains to. Also clarify the land use types and refer to the updated Municipal Permit (Order No. 2013-0001). Address the other redlines on the returned preliminary SWMP. 3. Revise each sheet to show and callout dedication of public water easements to CMWD for onsite potable water systems, versus a general utility and access easement. MP 02-03(G)/SDP 14-08/SUP 14-04/MS 14-07 - ROBERTSON RANCH WEST VILLAGE PA 7&8 November 12, 2014 Page 3 4. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal regarding the proposed preliminary fire hydrant locations and revise the design if necessary. Some of the hydrants appear too close to structures. Refer to redlines. 5. On sheet 9, clarify the height of fence/wall proposed along pool. 6. On sheet 9, provide a typical section where this project abuts PA 4 to demonstrate changes in grade as it relates to the adjacent property. Provide another typical section where the pedestrian ramp runs along Robertson Road. Refer to redlines. 7. On sheet 9, extend the vehicular pop-out paving near building 15 so the vehicle can back out. Refer to redline. 8. On sheet 9, revise the fire hydrant located in a parking stall. Coordinate with the fire marshal on approved locations. 9. On sheet 9, callout a proposed pedestrian access easement over a portion of PA for the benefit of PA 8. This appears necessary as the revised sidewalk design crosses over this adjacent lot. 10. On sheet 11, shift the waterline away from building 19. Refer to redlines. 11. Revise the exhibits to address all other the redlines (see attached). Attached are redlined SWMP and Site Plan/TPM exhibits for the project submittal.

Town and Country Road Suite 200 Orange, CA 92868 S031 Robertson Ranch West Village Preserve (Preserve): Proposed Gradinq within Conservation Easement Dear Mr. Kim: The Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM) has been made aware that the City of Carlsbad (City), the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) have approved certain Robertson Ranch West Village project changes that would impact habitat within a conservation easement (CE) held by CNLM [Conservation Easement Deed (Robertson Ranch Unit 1 - PA 23C)]. The purpose of this letter is twofold. First, CNLM, as CE grantee and Preserve steward, agrees with Toll Brothers about the need to amend the CE to revise the legal description to accommodate certain proposed boundary changes, and will work with you (as outlined in an agreed upon scope of work covering our future joint activities at Roberson Ranch East Village expansion) to effect such change consistent with CNLM's Conservation Easement Amendment Policy and nonprofit organization governance requirements. Second, CNLM staff have reviewed the proposed site grading activities for potential adverse impacts to conservation values (CVs). Recognizing and in part relying upon the fact that City, USFWS, and CDFW, each a third party enforcement beneficiary (TPEBs) ofthe CE, have issued affirming hardline modification consistency determinations,* CNLM will not protest the proposed grading, all subject, of course, to Toll Brothers adherence to City, USFWS, and CDFW requirements, the CE, and the 2007 Management and Funding Agreement (MFA). * November 30, 2011 City (D.

Response: The parking summary is revised to show the number of apartments of each planning area. 5. The Dahlin group cover sheet for the senior affordable apartments should be revised to remove reference to PA 7. Response: The reference to PA 7 on the senior apartments has been removed. 6. The project as submitted includes a change in the number of estimated residential units in PA 7 from 116 to 96 and in PAS from 248 to 268. Reductions and/or increases in the numbers of residential units allocated to any of the master plan planning areas of up to 10% require a Minor Master Plan Amendment approved by the Planning Commission, Changes greater than 10% require a Major Amendment approval by the City Council. As submitted, there is a 17.24% residential unit reduction proposed in Planning Area 7 which requires the submittal of a Major Master Plan Amendment. Response: A minor master plan amendment application and check for fee is provided with this resubmittal package, as requested. 7.

Coordinate the civil, architectural and landscape plans for drive aisles, parking, carports, pedestrian walkways, etc. Response: The base plan for civil, architectural and landscape plans has been coordinated. Please see Sheet AO.O. Engineering: 1. Modify the title sheet to identify the property owner and the developer information. The data on sheet 1 is outdated. Refer to redlines. Response: Toll Bros LLC has been added as owner and Shapell as applicant on Engineering Sheet no.l. 2. Since this project proposed 2 lots that include common-use facilities (drive aisles, drainage, utilities, etc.), this project may require a residential PUD application. Please confirm with planning and address. Response: A residential PUD is not required. This has been confirmed by the Planning Division. A note has been added to Engineering Sheet no. 1 for a "covenant of easement" to be recorded for reciprocal access, parking, etc. 5. The layout/configuration of PA 4 (recreation lot) does not match CT 13-03. How will the lot lines for PA4 be adjusted? Will they be changed: 1) via the final map for CT 13-03 (not yet recorded), 2) included within MS 14-07, or 3) by separate lot line adjustment? Revise the exhibits to clarify what applications are responsible to document PA4 changes. Response: Our plan is to revise the final map for CT 13-03 to show the updated, proper lot configuration for PA 4. 4. Provide a geotechnical report addressing subsurface site conditions, geotechnical feasibility, and proposed grading measures required for this projecL Response: The existing Soils report by Geosoils is presently being updated. A copy will be provided to the City as soon as it is available. 5. Revise the preliminary Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) to include BMP/HMP sizing calculations for the detention vault/modular wetlands systems proposed on the Tentative Parcel Map. Response: The SWMP has been revised and is provided in this resubmittal package. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. Planning Commissioners have through recent action indicated that a reduction in single car garage widths (from 12 feet to 10 feet in width) is not acceptable. The project should be revised to accommodate the minimum 12 foot standard width. As a note, the project description states that the reduced width is desirable in order to provide each unit within the building with a garage space, however, each building has 12 apartments and only 8 garage spaces. PLANNING SYSTEMS Response: The revised design has increased the garage widths to 11' minimum (five garages) and 12' minimum (3 garages) in each building. Physical analysis has shown that a fiill-size SUV (Chevy Tahoe) can easily open both doors within an 1 I'O" garage. We request a standards modification to allow garages to be 1 I'O" in width. These garages all exceed the minimum depth requirement (22' to 25') and therefore will have available storage space. As designed, only 8 of each 12 units have a private garage space. The remaining four units will have carport covered parking. 2. As a coordination effort with the association of required resident parking for each building, reconsider the use of either the fioor plan or reverse fioor plan that places the two entries into each building at the closest point to the designated resident parking. Response: We have made every effort to design the pedestrian circulation to achieve an efficient path of travel. 3. Re-assess the onsite pedestrian circulation paths to achieve the closest to a natural path of travel between apartment buildings and between apartment buildings and the recreation center. Response: The pedestrian walkways have been revised and also meet accessible path of travel requirements, as requested. 4. A pedestrian connection from PA 8 to Robertson Road should be provided with the intent of creating a shorter natural path of access from PA 8 to the PA 4 West Village recreation facility. Such a connection will also serve as a closer, more direct access way for residents ofPA 7 to the recreation center. Response: A sloped walkway and a traffic calming bulb with crosswalk has been added adjacent to and on Robertson Road. 5. Buildings visible from El Camino Real must feature enhanced elevations. Response: The buildings visible from El Camino Real include enhanced architecture. 6. Measures should be taken to reduce the top-of-slope visibility of the buildings along El Camino Real. Pursuant to the Hillside Ordinance (Section 21.95.140(I)(1), a top-of-slope setback for a 30 foot tall building is 21 feet. Tree planting along El Camino Real slope will contribute to screening the visibility of the buildings from El Camino Real. Response: Hillside Ordinance Section 21.95.160(A) states that; "the decision-making body may approve a modification to the development and design standards of21.95.140 if it decides that the proposed project complies with the purpose and intent of 21.95.010, and (2) the proposed modification will result in the development of manufactured slopes which are more aesthetically pleasing and natural appearing than would a strict adherence to the requirements of21.95.140." The proposed project is designed with a building setback in excess of 100-feet from El Camino Real. This setback is at least twice the setback distance typically required for residential development on a prime arterial. Please see the attached cross sections comparison of the slope and buildings adjacent to El Camino Real showing a typical 50-ft setback and 21-foot top of slope setback, vs the proposed design. It is our opinion that an additional increased setback of 10 or so more feet from the top of slope at this distance will not improve the visual impact significantly. The altemative solutions of creating a top of slope retaining wall, or lowering the site pad overall will both, in our opinion, create greater negative visual impacts. We believe that the proposed design complies with the two findings for modification in 21.95 referenced above. PLANNING SYSTEMS Engineering: 1. ^Please consider creating separate exhibits/title sheets for the PA 7 Site Development Plan and PA 8 Site development/Tentative Parcel Map. It may be helpful to clarify how PA 7 is outside the subdivision boundary for MS 14-07, so it is not impacted by potential subdivision obligations of a parcel map. Having separate SDP applications for PA 7 and 8 may also offer other flexibilities when development permits are sought for either planning area. Response: Clarification has been added on Engineering Sheet 1 that PA 8 will be the subject of a tentative parcel map to create two lots. The Site Development plan application covers both PA 7 and PA 8. 2. In the upper ri^ht hand corner of the exhibits, list the application numbers for this project. Refer to redlines. Response: The application numbers have been added to the upper right comer of the Sheets. 3. Revise the legend to include items found on the other exhibits (potable water service, sewer service, recycled water service, modular wetlands, bioretention basins, underground detention vaults, parking light fixtures, etc.). Refer to redlines. Response: The legend has been revised, as requested. 4. Revise the key map so the sheet index is provided on sheet 3 (better scale). Refer to redlines. Response: The key map has been revised. 5. Since this is a minor subdivision, revise the exhibits to call the proposed 'parcels' versus proposed 'lots' (typical). Refer to redlines. Response: The requested wording change has been done. 6. Revise the project so the proposed onsite sewer system is private, versus public (typical). Response: Private sewer labels have been added, as requested. 7. Revise the exhibits to delete the proposed onsite public recycled water system throughout PA 7 & PA8. Revise the exhibits to provide recycled irrigation service/meters along the frontages to Gage Drive and Robertson Road. These will be the preliminary points of connection where (in final design) irrigation systems can be extended onsite to provide the onsite irrigation needs of the project. Response: The recycled water mains have been removed and the irrigation services at the street are now shown. 8. Clarify why PA 7 does not use pervious pavement, while PA 8 shows extensive use of it Response: Pervious pavement has been added to PA 8. 9. The preliminary SWMP indicates low soil permeability; therefore BMPs do not contemplate soil infiltration. However, exhibits on PA 7 include an extensive use of permeable pavement. Submit a geotechnical report that includes design guidance on the use of onsite permeable pavcmcntr PLANNING SYSTEMS Response: Our plan is to provide at final design the addition of a perforated pipe in the subgrade of the pervious pavers (because ofthe soil type "D"). 10. Revise the preliminary SWMP to include the minimum sizes of bioretention required/provided. Provide this information on the bmp exhibits and demonstrate how the water quality features will treat the runoff from this project Refer to redlines. - Response: The SWMP has been revised and also a summary table has been added to the exhibits in the SWMP. 11. Revise the preliminary SWMP to address what BMP's will treat certain areas not yet identified. Refer to redlines Response: At the time that the site plan is deemed acceptable to City Staff, we will provide a more detailed analysis of proposed BMP's prepared using a continuous rainfall simulation computer model. This will provide information for the detailed design of the modular wetlands and hydromodification storage capacity. 12. Revise the exhibits to include an intersection choker/mid-block crossing on Robertson Road. This will serve as both traffic calming and an improved pedestrian linkage from PA 7 to PA 4 (recreation lot). Since this affects backbone improvements per CT 13-03, the city will coordinate with the developer of CT 13-03. Refer to redlines on sheet 3. Response: Chokers have been added on the site plan.

Response: Pad elevations have been added (subject to change when a soils report is available). 17. Revise the exhibits to callout the slope along proposed onsite sidewalks/walkways (typical) to demonstrate how designs satisfy current accessibility requirements. Response: Slope grades have been added to the sidewalks. 18. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal regarding the proposed preliminary fire hydrant locations and revise the design if necessary. PLANNING SYSTEMS 5 Response: We met with the fire department regarding the fire hydrant locations. The proposed locations are consistent with the results of our meeting. 19. Provide a typical section addressing the depressed bioretention areas in the parking lots. Clarify whether 0 " curbs will be used with wheel stops or standard curbs with drainage openings. Will any fencing be needed to discourage pedestrians from crossing over depressed areas or is the depression too minor to warrant this? Response: A typical section showing "O" curbs with the wheel stops has been added to the Engineering Sheets. 20. Add callouts to exhibits proposing underground detention/modular wetland systems. Add preliminary volumes of these facilities as identified in the preliminary SWMP. Response: The modular wetlands have been added to the legend. We also added the dimensions for the modular wetlands and the volumes of hydromodification underground vaults. 21. The legend symbol for pervious pavement seem to match the enhanced paving symbol on the traffic circles per CT 13-03. Revise the symbols to address this discrepancy. Refer to redlines (sheet 8).

On sheet 11, clarify how maintenance access will be provided to the proposed sewer manholes at the southeast comer of PA 7. Will maintenance vehicles be able to drive over the below ground vaults? Response: Since the sewer and the storm drain are private, we anticipate that the maintenance will be completed with smaller machinery. At the time that we have the final design of the modular wetlands and vaults, we will have the ability to provide a path of travel and surface for maintenance. 48. On sheet 12, the exhibit shows conflicts with fire engine access as it enters and exits the project entry just west of Gage Drive and West Ranch Street. The turning templates show the trucks driving against the fiow of traffic and driving over raised medians, which will not be permitted. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal to provide emergency ingress/egress to the projecL Revise the design to address this discrepancy. Response: The driveway geometry that is proposed will not allow the fire trucks to make their tuming movements without transitioning into the opposite lane. If the Fire Department objects to this design, some design modification will be necessary in this location. 49. On sheet 13, compile all three paths into one comprehensive exhibit (like sheet 12 does). Showing multiple paths are confusing for a discretionary application.

Although stated as an application for 364 apartments in total, the plans indicate that 365 apartments are proposed. Please adjust the plans accordingly to reduce the unit count to 364. 2. The Master Plan requires a minimum density of 20 du/ac for PA7 and PA8 combined. Please indicate the gross and net acreage for the two Planning Areas and compliance with the minimum density standard. 3. On the Dahlin group Cover Sheet for PA7/PA8 Apartments, please add "# units" for PA7 and "# units" for PA 8. 4. On the Dahlin group Sheet AO.O for PA7/PA8, please revise the PARKING SUMMARY to correctly refer to # apartments in Planning Area 7, # apartments in Planning Area 8, and 101 senior apartments in Planning Area 8. 5. The Dahlin group cover sheet for the senior affordable apartments should be revised to remove reference to PA7. 6. The project as submitted includes a change in the number of estimated residential units in PA7 from 116 to 96 and in PAS from 248 to 268. Reductions and/or increases in the numbers of residential units allocated to any of the master plan planning areas of up to 10% require a Minor Master Plan Amendment approved by the Planning Commission. Changes greater than 10% require a Major Amendment approval bythe City Council. As submitted, there is a 17.24% residential unit reduction proposed in Planning Area 7 which requires the submittal of a Major Master Plan Amendment. 7. Provide an exhibit illustrating the location of required resident parking for each building. 8. Please provide width and depth dimensions of balconies, decks, and patios on the plans. 9. Submit a supplemental acoustical analysis demonstrating compliance with the City of Carlsbad's Noise Guidelines Manual for the buildings in PA7. 10. Please provide a table quantifying all of the various common recreation areas throughout PA7 and PA8. 11. A Special Use Permit (El Camino Real Corridor) is required for the development of PA7. 12. Coordinate the civil, architectural and landscape plans for drive aisles, parking, carports, pedestrian walkways, etc. SDP 14-08/MS 14-07 - ROBERTSON RANCH WEST VILLAGE July 30, 2014 Page 3 Engineering: 1. Modify the title sheet to identify the property owner and the developer information. The data on sheet 1 is outdated. Refer to redlines. 2. Since this project proposed 2 lots that include common-use facilities (drive aisles, drainage, utilities, etc.), this project may require a residential PUD application. Please confirm with planning and address. 3. The layout/configuration of PA 4 (recreation lot) does not match CT 13-03. How will the lot lines for PA4 be adjusted? Will they be changed: 1) via the final map for CT 13-03 (not yet recorded), 2) included within MS 14-07, or 3) by separate lot line adjustment? Revise the exhibits to clarify what applications are responsible to document PA4 changes. 4. Provide a geotechnical report addressing subsurface site conditions, geotechnical feasibility, and proposed grading measures required for this project. 5. Revise the preliminary Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) to include BMP/HMP sizing calculations for the detention vault/modular wetlands systems proposed on the Tentative Parcel Map. SDP 14-08/MS 14-07 - ROBERTSON RANCH WEST VILLAGE July 30, 2014 Page 4 ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. Planning Commissioners have through recent action indicated that a reduction in single car garage widths (from 12 feet to 10 feet in width) is not acceptable. The project should be revised to accommodate the minimum 12 foot standard width. As a note, the project description states that the reduced width is desirable in order to provide each unit within the building with a garage space, however, each building has 12 apartments and only 8 garage spaces. 2. As a coordination effort with the association of required resident parking for each building, reconsider the use of either the floor plan or reverse floor plan that places the two entries into each building at the closest point to the designated resident parking. 3. Re-assess the onsite pedestrian circulation paths to achieve the closest to a natural path of travel between apartment buildings and between apartment buildings and the recreation center. 4. A pedestrian connection from PA 8 to Robertson Road should be provided with the intent of creating a shorter natural path of access from PA 8 to the PA 4 West Village recreation facility. Such a connection will also serve as a closer, more direct access way for residents of PA 7 to the recreation center. 5. Buildings visible from El Camino Real must feature enhanced elevations. 6. Measures should be taken to reduce the top-of-slope visibility of the buildings along El Camino Real. Pursuant to the Hillside Ordinance (Section 21.95.140(l)(l), a top-of-slope setback for a 30 foot tall building is 21 feet. Tree planting along the El Camino Real slope will contribute to screening the visibility of the buildings from El Camino Real. Engineering: 1. Please consider creating separate exhibits/title sheets for the PA 7 Site Development Plan and PA 8 Site development/Tentative Parcel Map. It may be helpful to clarify how PA 7 is outside the subdivision boundary for MS 14-07, so it is not impacted by potential subdivision obligations of a parcel map. Having separate SDP applications for PA 7 and 8 may also offer other flexibilities when development permits are sought for either planning area. 2. In the upper right hand corner ofthe exhibits, list the application numbers for this project. Refer to redlines. 3. Revise the legend to include items found on the other exhibits (potable water service, sewer service, recycled water service, modular wetlands, bioretention basins, underground detention vaults, parking light fixtures, etc.). Refer to redlines. 4. Revise the key map so the sheet index is provided on sheet 3 (better scale). Refer to redlines. 5. Since this is a minor subdivision, revise the exhibits to call the proposed 'parcels' versus proposed'lots'(typical). Refer to redlines. 6. Revise the project so the proposed onsite sewer system is private, versus public (typical). 7. Revise the exhibits to delete the proposed onsite public recycled water system throughout PA 7 & PA 8. Revise the exhibits to provide recycled irrigation service/meters along the frontages to Gage Drive and Robertson Road. These will be the preliminary points of connection where (in final design) irrigation systems can be extended onsite to provide the onsite irrigation needs of SDP 14-08/MS 14-07 - ROBERTSON RANCH WEST VILLAGE July 30, 2014 Page 5 the project. 8. Clarify why PA 7 does not use pen/ious pavement, while PA 8 shows extensive use of it. 9. The preliminary SWMP indicates low soil permeability, therefore BMPs do not contemplate soil infiltration. However, exhibits on PA 7 include an extensive use of permeable pavement. Submit a geotechnical report that includes design guidance on the use of onsite permeable pavement. 10. Revise the preliminary SWMP to include the minimum sizes of bioretention required/provided. Provide this information on the bmp exhibits and demonstrate how the water quality features will treat the runoff from this project. Refer to redlines. 11. Revise the preliminary SWMP to address what BMP's will treat certain areas not yet identified. Refer to redlines. 12. Revise the exhibits to include an intersection choker/mid-block crossing on Robertson Road. This will serve as both traffic calming and an improved pedestrian linkage from PA 7 to PA 4 (recreation lot). Since this affects backbone improvements per CT 13-03, the city will coordinate with the developer of CT 13-03. Refer to redlines on sheet 3. 13. Revise each sheet to show short legal descriptions and street names for adjacent properties (typical). Refer to redlines. 14. Revise each sheet to show and callout 20-ft wide water easements to CMWD for onsite potable water systems. 15. Revise the exhibits to callout unique building numbers for each separate structure (typical), this information is on the exhibits for PA 7, but not PA 8. 16. Revise all exhibits to list the pad elevation for each proposed building (typical). 17. Revise the exhibits to callout the slope along proposed onsite sidewalks/walkways (typical) to demonstrate how designs satisfy current accessibility requirements. 18. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal regarding the proposed preliminary fire hydrant locations and revise the design if necessary. 19. Provide a typical section addressing the depressed bioretention areas in the parking lots. Clarify whether 0" curbs will be used with wheel stops or standard curbs with drainage openings. Will any fencing be needed to discourage pedestrians from crossing over depressed areas or is depression too minor to warrant this? the 20. Add callouts to exhibits proposing underground detention/modular wetland systems. Add preliminary volumes of these facilities as identified in the preliminary SWMP. 21. The legend symbol for pervious pavement seem to match the enhanced paving symbol on the traffic circles per CT 13-03. Revise the symbols to address this discrepancy. Refer to redlines (sheet 8). 22. Revise the exhibits to include references to adjacent sheets as you navigate through the project (typical). Refer to redlines. 23. Revise the exhibits/legend to callout symbols that may be covered parking areas (typical). Refer to redlines. SDP 14-08/MS 14-07 - ROBERTSON RANCH WEST VILLAGE July 30, 2014 Page 6 24. Revise the exhibits to callout if perimeter site walls are proposed around each planning area (typical). If so, callout type and height of the wall. 25. On sheet 2, add notes to clarify that frontage improvements are being provided per DWG 480-3 (CT 13-03). 26. On sheet 3, revise the composite map to include the sheet index information. Revise this exhibit to show utility layout information (potable water, private sewer, storm drain, etc.). Callout existing onsite and adjacent short legal descriptions from CT 13-03 and the proposed parcels per this application. Show/callout the fire hydrants surrounding the project to be built per CT 13-03. Provide a key map legend. Add street names. Refer to redlines. 27. On sheet 3, can the proposed emergency access turn-around area be constructed with pervious pavement or pervious pavers to limit urban runoff? Coordinate this concept with the Fire Marshal prior to making change. Will this area be hatched with striping or will bollards be necessary to discourage resident parking in this area? 28. On sheet 4-6 and sheet 8, callout the 'proposed' parcel line. Add callouts for Parcel A and Parcel B along with the proposed acreages for each. Refer to redlines. 29. On sheet 5, coordinate the utility improvements on Gage Drive per CT 13-03 so they match the proposed connections per these exhibits. Refer to redlines. 30. On sheet 5, callout the width and type of easement encumbering the property along Gage Drive. Refer to redlines. 31. On sheet 5, include pedestrian ramps where the sidewalk (per CT 13-03) intersects the proposed driveway. Orient the pedestrian ramps in the flow of pedestrian movement versus diagonal pedestrian ramps. Show modifications to the sidewalk connections, if any. Refer to redlines. 32. On sheet 5, show/callout proposed topographic information between Parcel A and Parcel B. Refer to redlines. 33. On sheet 6, move the waterline away from proposed multi-story structures. Since the onsite public recycled water is not required, this will allow for the waterline to be shifted. Refer to redlines. 34. On sheet 8, consider relocating the trash enclosure near the gate for PA 8. The current location appears to cause gate issues or delays as residents enter the project. Refer to redlines. 35. On sheet 9, callout the width and type of easement encumbering the property along Robertson Road. Refer to redlines. 36. On sheet 9, clarify if a project fence/wall is proposed along the perimeter of PA 8. Provide a typical section where this project abuts PA 4 to demonstrate changes in grade as it relates to the adjacent property. 37. On sheet 9, callout the proposed acreage for PA 4, as it is modified from CT 13-03. Coordinate with Planning on approval for any Master Plan changes. 38. On sheet 10, clarify whether the second entrance off Robertson Road will include gates. 39. On sheet 10, revise the exhibit to clarify how bioretention basin 1 will drain if clogged. Provide finish surface elevations to show emergency overflow is contained onsite and does not drain down the slope to El Camino Real. SDP 14-08/MS 14-07 - ROBERTSON RANCH WEST VILLAGE July 30, 2014 Page 7 40. On sheet 10, the grading for PA 7 encroaches approximately 7-feet into the pedestrian access easement and sidewalk per CT 13-03. The exhibits show reconstructing the sidewalk. Revise the grading to avoid grading within the access easement and conflict with the meandering sidewalk per CT 13-03. Maintain the large landscape buffer area created as part of the master plan. 41. On sheet 10, add elevation numbers to the proposed topography lines along Robertson Rdad. Refer to redlines. 42. On sheet 10 and 11, correct the storm drain symbol to match the legend. 43. On sheet 10 and 11, the bioretention basin numbers for PA 7 are already used on earlier sheets for PA 8. Since this is a comprehensive site plan, use unique basin numbering throughout the exhibits. Refer to redlines. 44. On sheet 10 and 11, include pedestrian ramps where the sidewalk (per CT 13-03) intersects the proposed driveway. Orient the pedestrian ramps in the flow of pedestrian movement versus diagonal pedestrian ramps. Show modifications to the sidewalk connections, if any. Refer to redlines. 45. On sheets 10 and 11, clarify whether the courtyard pavement between buildings are proposed with pervious pavement. The symbols used seem to match that on the legend. Refer to redlines. 46. On sheet 11, callout the linear bioretention swale along Robertson Road per DWG 480-3. 47. On sheet 11, clarif/ how maintenance access will be provided to the proposed sewer manholes at the southeast corner of PA 7. Will maintenance vehicles be able to drive over the below ground vaults? 48. On sheet 12, the exhibit shows conflicts with fire engine access as it enters and exits the project entry just west of Gage Drive and West Ranch Street. The turning templates show the trucks driving against the flow of traffic and driving over raised medians, which will not be permitted. Coordinate with the Fire Marshal to provide emergency ingress/egress to the project. Revise the design to address this discrepancy. 49. On sheet 13, compile all three paths into one comprehensive exhibit (like sheet 12 does). Showing multiple paths are confusing for a discretionary application. 50. Revise the exhibits to address all other the redlines (see attached). Attached are redlined SWMP and Site Plan/TPM exhibits for the project submittal. Please return this redlines check print with the revised plans and studies to facilitate continued staff review. If you have any questions, please call Jeremy Riddle at 602-2737.
