Although a Hillside Development Permit would be required for the encroachment into
the Easterly slope, staff cannot support a request. The findings necessary to
approve the permit could not be made. Specifically, the proposed wall is not
creating additional open space nor creating a more aesthetically pleasing or natural
appearing slope. It is strongly recommended that the retaining wall height be
reduced to not exceed six feet in height.
Change name of Lokar to Loker throughout plans.
Add Planned Industrial Permit Number (98-06) to title sheet.
Add Average Daily Traffic generated by project broken down by separate uses. Add
to tabular data on title sheet.
Identify section N-N on grading plan. Maybe mislabeled as "H".
Indicate on site plan, improvements and amenities in the interior/exterior employee
eating areas, i.e. benches, tables, trash cans, etc.
Show locations of existing and proposed driveways on adjacent parcels, including
across the street from this project.
Show roof line, as dashed line, on building elevations. This is to show the amount
of parapet available and if roof screening will be an issue. Provide roof plan (plan
view).
On grading plans, section M-M indicates the retaining wall varies from 1 to 3 feet.
The plan indicates the retaining wall is at least five feet tall.
Please provide tilt-up screen walls to screen the loading areas from Palomar Airport
Road. One per each building on the South East corners. This will also provide some
privacy for the employee eating areas from the truck loading areas. .
Engineering:
1. Clearly show on the grading plan existing street lights and fire hydrants. Please see the
red-lined plans for more information.
2. The plans must in.clude and identify measures to treat surface runoff onsite prior to
entering the public storm drain system.
This issue is related to the City's requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which requires a project to provide best
management practices to reduce surface pollutants to an acceptable level prior to
discharge. Other commercial and industrial projects have utilized methods such as
directing runoff from paved areas towards a landscaped swale prior to reaching the
storm drain; or installing an onsite drainage basin specially designed to remove
pollutants.
3. A minimum clear distance of 5’ for vehicles to back out is required when adjacent
parking stalls are located perpendicular or at an angle of 90° or less to each other.
4. Please note that a lot line consolidation will be required prior to issuance of a building
permit for this project.
5. Attached is a redlined check print set of the project. Please refer to these plans for
corrections and changes as noted. Please return this plan set with the corrected plans
to assist us in our continued review. If you have questions regarding any of the
Engineering comments above, please contact Ken Quon at extension 4380.
