PIP 97-03 - REAL PROPERTY SERVICES 1. Please provide the following information on the site plan, typically in tabular form: a. Project name and application type and number. b. Name, address and telephone number of applicant. c. General Plan designation of the site, that being P-l (Planned Industrial) d. Number of parking spaces required. This is based on the proportion of proposed uses, please ‘see issues comment number 3 below. e. Square footage of required employee eating area based on square footage of the building (300 square feet of eating area per 5,000 square feet of building floor area). f. Average Daily Traffic generated by the project broken down by separate uses. g. Grading quantities, including cut, fill and export volumes, must be shown. 2. Please provide floor plans with square footage of each proposed use. The amount of parking required for the project will be determined by the maximum allotment of each proposed use. This includes the second story, which appears to possess no access points or stairways and yet is described as smaller than the first floor. 3. Please dimension the distance between the building and each property line, at the minimum distance. 4. Please provide a detail of the proposed employee eating area showing all proposed tables, benches, landscaping and other improvements. 5. Please show all project fencing, including location, height and materials. None is shown on the site plan, grading plan or landscaping plan. 6. The BTH of the proposed palms trees is not specified on the preliminary landscape plan, please specify. 7. The roof plan uses the same reference number (e.g. #3) for different roof top features, please clarify. No roof top equipment is shown. Please note that all roof top equipment must be approved through the Planned Industrial Permit process. If any is planned, it must be shown on the exhibits. All roof top appurtenances must be adequately screened from public views. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The Carlsbad Airport Centre Specific Plan requires a 30 foot setback along special landscaped streets, which includes Camino Vida Roble. The site plan shows parking in this area which is not allowed. Please redesign to remove parking from this setback. The City’s Landscape Manual requires trees in parking areas at a ratio of one tree for every four parking stalls. The submitted landscape plan shows only 20 trees whereas the parking lot contains 137 spaces. It should also be noted that the maximum number of parking spaces in one row without planting islands (with trees) is ten (IO). Please revise the parking lot landscaping to meet these requirements. The total proportion of all uses must be known in order to calculate parking requirements. In lieu of establishing the proportion of uses, the entire building shall be assumed to be office uses and the parking will be required at a ratio of one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. The proportion of uses will be included in a deed restriction to be placed on the property prior to issuance of any building permits. A condition of the project will be conformance with the operational standards of the P-M zone (Section 21.34.090 of the Zoning Ordinance) and the Carlsbad Airport Centre (SP 181 (A)). It is advised that you review these operational restrictions. The proposed employee eating area is at the same grade and very close to the adjacent property’s parking and loading area. Please enhance the landscaping along the western property line to offer more screening for the employee eating area. Staff has no issues with the proposed architectural elevations. Engineering: 1. The EngineedArchitect should redesign the loading dock to allow for semi-truck access. The City uses the CalTrans semi-truck turn templates (407-D). Please consider both the entrance and exit maneuvers. 2. The driveway access is too steep for trucks and the type of use proposed. The City can support up to a 12 percent grade, but this is still a bit steep for semi-trucks. 3. The proposed grade across the parking lot is five (5) percent. Please note that the maximum grade allowed on parking lots is five (5) percent. 4. The EngineedArchitect should include a cross section (B-B) top show slope setback and access to maintain drainage structures between the proposed building and the three (3) foot retaining wall (north side of building). . 5. The proposed drainage outlet is located uphill from the driveway to this project. This will produce a constant tracking of nuisance water and a possible hazard at the entrance. Most projects try to locate the outlets downstream from entrances. Also, there needs to be an additional inlet to catch the drainage out the driveway. 6. The following condition requiring conformance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System protocol will be placed upon any approval for this project. The Engineer and Architect should be aware of this requirement as well. “The developer. shall comply with the City’s requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The developer shall provide best management practices as referenced in the “California Storm Water Best Management Practices Handbook“ to reduce surface pollutants to an acceptable level prior to discharge to sensitive areas. Plans for such improvements shall be approved by the City Engineer. Said plans shall include but not be limited to notifying prospective owners and tenants of the following: A. All owners and tenants shall coordinate efforts to establish or work with established disposal programs to remove and properly dispose of toxic and hazardous waster products. B. Toxic chemicals or hydrocarbon compounds such as gasoline, motor oil, antifreeze, solvents, paints, paint thinners, wood preservatives, and other such fluids shall not be discharged into any street, public or private, or into storm drain or storm water conveyance systems. Use and disposal of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers and other such chemical treatments shall meet Federal, State, County and City requirements as prescribed in their respective containers. C. Best Management Practices shall be used to eliminate or reduce surface pollutants when planning any changes to the landscaping and surface improvements.” 7. The structural section for the access aisles must be designed with a traffic index of 5.0 in accordance with City Standards due to truck access through the parking area and/or aisles with an ADT greater than 500. The structural pavement design of the aisle ways shall be submitted together with required R-value soil test information and approved by the City as part of the building site plan review.
