B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (760) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (760) 720-2037 ^ LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION No. RPOO-12 The following Departments have completed their review of the subject project for application completeness. The application and plans submitted for this project are incomplete and unsuitable for further review due to the following missing or incomplete items: Housing & Redevelopment: 1. Please include the following additional information on the site plan: a. Application Number RPOO-12. b. Site address: 3265 Tyler Street. c. Zoning: VR Land Use District 6. d. Open space calculation. A minimum of 20% of property must be maintained as open space. Open space must be devoted to landscaped pedestrian amenities in accordance with the City of Carlsbad's Landscape Manual. Open space may be dedicated to landscaped planters, open space pockets and/or connections, roof gardens, balconies, patios, and/or outdoor eating areas. No parking spaces or drive aisles are permitted in the open space. e. Average daily traffic generated by the project broken down by separate uses. 2. Please include the following information on the building elevations: a. On the north elevation show building height to the ridgeline of the structure below the tower element. b. On the north clarify the purpose of the architectural element located west of the front tower element. c. Furnace vents are shown piercing the roof of the structure. Please include these vents on the building elevations to clarify how much of the vents are visible from the exterior of the building. d. The west elevation indicates a maximum building height of 35'-6". However, the maximum building height permitted in this district is 35'-0". Please revise accordingly. e. Show height of tower on the east building elevation. 3. The manufacturing equipment appears to extend beyond the walls separating the manufacturing area from the warehouse. Please revise plans accordingly. 4. Provide a construction materials board and color samples for roofing, exterior walls, glass, wood, etc. 5. Sign plan for proposed signage. Items Needed to Complete AppRMtion No. RPOO-12 Page 2 Planning: 1. A noise study to address potential impacts on adjacent residential uses is required for the project per the City of Carlsbad Noise Guidelines manual. Engineering: 1. Please provide a preliminary title report current within the last 6 months. 2. On the site plan include the following information: a. Based on SANDAG generation rates, provide the average daily trips generated by the project. Based on the area of each use proposed, the ADT should total 191 vehicle trips. b. Show location of parking lot lighting. c. Show water and sewer mains and lateral location, size and material. Note whether the pipes are existing or new. To maximize water quality, locate the water service off the terminus of the main line opposite the fire hydrant (see comment below regarding water and fire hydrant requirements). d. Explain what the "path of travel" means. e. Indicate the location of the nearest public streetlight. f. Show all existing driveway approaches across the street. g. The minimum width permitted for a driveway approach on an industrial/commercial lot is 30 feet. Please revise accordingly. 3. On the landscape plan, remove or relocate the two proposed White Paper Bark trees next to the driveway entrance. These trees lie within the line of sight of motorist view of oncoming vehicles as measured per the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual. 4. Since a dock-high loading bay is proposed, the site must be designed to accommodate a turning radius for a semi-tractor trailer per Section 407D of the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual. The site does not accommodate this criteria and it appears that major design changes would be needed to accommodate these turns. An alternative would be to place the bay at grade level which requires that the site accommodate a turning radius of 42 feet per Section 407E of the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual. Plot the turning radius on the site plan. 5. Plot the easements referenced under items 5, 6, 7 and 12 of Part Two of the Title Report. Clarify whether the 20-foot wide utility easement plotted on the site plan is the easement granted to the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company under item 4. Items Needed to Complete Appimtion No. RPOO-12 Page 3 6. Address the following on the grading/drainage plan: a. Show topography at the southwest end of the property (railroad right-of-way). b. Is the concrete gutter that crosses the back parking lot necessary? It appears that the runoff that collects within this gutter could sheet flow to the back of the lot since the parking lot falls away from the building at a positive 2% grade on both sides of the gutter. The 7'6" landscape strip located at the back of the lot must contain vegetation such as a fescue grass that would filter pollutants. Sheet flow should also eliminate the need for riprap. The area where the riprap is proposed could be replaced with vegetation as well. If drainage is to concentrate to one location as proposed, then provide hydrology calculations. c. Provide a cross section of the north end of the lot to show how drainage will collect and flow toward the rear of the lot. It is shown to flow at 2% toward the back of the lot. A swale will be needed to direct the drainage as shown. However, the plants shown on the landscape plan would interfere with this flow. Please revise/clarify how drainage will work at this location. d. Where will roof drainage collect at ground level? e. Indicate that the existing driveway will be replaced with new curb, gutter and sidewalk. 7. Is the sewer manhole shown at the west corner of the property private or public? Please show pipes that connect with this manhole. 8. Since an on-site fire hydrant will be required, a water main will need to connect the hydrant to the main water line in Tyler Street. This line must be placed within a 20-foot wide easement to be dedicated to the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. A detector check valve is also required. The check valve, however, must be located outside the water easement. Per the Fire Department's direction, locate the fire hydrant in the first landscape island located west of the trash enclosure. Locate the easement and water main within the driveway. Extend the easement northwest of the fire hydrant to the side property line to provide for possible looping of the line in the future. Show this information on the site plan. In addition, provide the following: a. The project demand of potable water in gallons per minute (1,500 gpm according to the Fire Department). b. Hydraulic grade line of the existing potable water system (255 ft el. according to our data). c. Pipe alignment. Building: 1. Only one handicapped space is shown on the site plan, but two are called out in the project data notes. Please show location of second required handicapped parking space. ISSUES OF CONCERN ^ No. RPOO-12 The following Departments have made a preliminary review of the project for associated issues of concern. The following issues need to be resolved or adequately addressed prior to conditioning of the project: Housing & Redevelopment: 1. The variance justification form submitted with the application does not apply to the redevelopment area. The appropriate findings for granting a variance to the side yard setback have been included with this correspondence. Staff suggests submitting a revised variance justification letter which addresses these particular findings. Staff apologizes for any mix-up we may have caused. In addition, the blank wall on the south elevation is of concern to staff and may be of concern to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. Staff suggests including in the revised variance justification letter reference to why this blank wall at the property line will not impact existing uses nor negatively impact future redevelopment of the adjacent property. 2. The 17'-6" long parking spaces require a 2'-6" overhang into the adjacent landscape area. In order for staff to support this design concept the proposed landscape plan must accommodate the overhang. Planning: 1. The applicant must contact Encina Water District regarding the water discharge from the proposed glass manufacturing use to determine if the wastewater treatment facility will process the discharge. This process is typically conducted during building permit plan check. However, if the request to process is denied, on-site treatment will be required and may necessitate site plan changes. Engineering: 1. According to the Title Report, a Certificate of Compliance was issued for Parcel A only. Please provide a copy of the recorded Certificate of Compliance for confirmation. Unless you have additional information to prove otherwise. Lot 7 has never been legally subdivided into 7 different lots. Based on the information given. Parcel A appears to be the only lot legally created within Lot 7 of Map No. 1743. Therefore, an adjustment plat will need to be processed to consolidate Parcel A and Lot 7. Building: 1. It is recommended that the architect request a preliminary review of the proposed exiting with the Building Department Plan Check Consultant (EsGil Corporation) to make sure the manufacturing and warehouse areas are suitably addressed. Landscape Plancheck: The City's Landscape Plancheck Consultant has completed the initial review of the Preliminary Landscape Plan. Corrections and suggestions have been included on Sheet L1.01. A red-lined check print set containing staff's comments is enclosed for your use. Please make the required changes to the Landscape Plan and resubmit the revised plans to the Housing and Redevelopment Department for further review. The enclosed red-lined check print set must be returned with the modified plans to assist staff in its continued review of the project.

DAVID RICK Assistant Engineer Land Development Division Citv of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department Septennber 20, 1999 ROBERT RICHARDSON KARNACK ARCHITECTURE/PLANNING INC 2802 STATE STREET, SUITE C CARLSBAD,CA 92008 SUBJECT: Preliminary Review of Oceanside Glass Tile Buiiding (PRE 99-60) APN: 203-070-01 thru 07 A preliminary review of your project was completed on September 17, 1999. 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 preliminarv review does not represent an in-depth analvsis of vour proiect. Additional issues of concern may be raised after vour application is submitted and processed for a more specific and detailed review. Housing & Redevelopment: The following issues have been raised by the Housing and Redevelopment Department during the preliminary review process: 1. A Major Redevelopment Permit is required for the proposed project. 2. A minimum of 20% of property must be maintained as open space. The open space must be devoted to landscaped pedestrian amenities in accordance with the City of Carlsbad's Landscape Manual. Open space may be dedicated to landscaped planters, open space pockets and/or connections, roof gardens, balconies, patios, and/or outdoor eating areas. No parking spaces or drive aisles are permitted in the open space. Show an open space calculation on the forma! plan submittal. 3. In the preliminary review application, the applicant requested that staff consider a parking calculation based on the number of employees versus the amount of square footage devoted to each use. Staff has reviewed this request and there is no mechanism established in the Carisbad Municipal Code to allow this deviation from the parking calculations. Therefore, the total required parking wiil be based on the sum of the parking required for each of the three uses within the building. 4. A variance must be approved by the decision-making body to permit the proposed zero setback along the south property line. Given the information 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (760) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (760) 720-2037 @ PRE 99-60; OCEANSIDE^ASS TILE BUILDING 09/20/99 PAGE 2 available, staff does not support the granting of a variance, because the required findings contained within Carlsbad Municipai Code Section 21.35.130 (a) (see attached) can not be made. Staff is also concerned that a zero setback would negatively impact the future redevelopment of the property to the south. Staff suggests the building be placed at the minimum 5 foot setback from the southern property line and building elevations consistent with the north facing elevation be provided to break up the mass of the wall. 5. Staff supports a greater front yard setback so that the columns on the front of the building are no closer than 10 feet to the front property line. 6. There is inconsistency between the land uses as shown on the site plan and the floor plan. In order to qualify for a mixed parking ratio, distinct separation between the manufacturing and warehouse uses wili be required. The formal pian submittal should include permanent walls to separate the proposed uses. 7. The height limit for District 6 is 35 feet. In accordance with the Village Master Plan, additional building height is allowed for some architectural features designed as part of the project. The preliminary plans show an architectural tower 17'w x 47'd x 4-4'h on the front of the building. It appears from the pians that this is an architectural feature only and does not provide additional floor space. In order to solicit Council support for the additional height, staff recommends reducing the size of this architectural feature so that it would be impossible to add internal floor area to this portion of the building at a later date. Planninq: The following issues were raised by the Planning Department during the preliminary review process: 1. Contact the Encina Water District regarding the water discharge from the proposed glass manufacturing use. 2. A noise study (impact on adjacent residential uses) will be required due to the nature of the proposed business (manufacturing). 3. Contact the Fire Department regarding the storage of chemicals and quantities brought onto the site. Engineering: Engineering Department staff have completed a preliminary review of the above-referenced project. Prior to formal application submittal, the following items must be adequately resolved/addressed: 1. Dead end parking aisles over 150' deep shall have adequate turn-around space at the aisle terminus to accommodate a maximum 3-point turn for a standard PRE 99-60; OCEANSIDEWASS TILE BUILDING 09/20/99 PAGES passenger vehicle. No dead end parking aisles shall have a depth over 200'. 2. Unless approved deceleration lanes are provided, all driveways except residential shall have a queuing area for in-bound traffic located off the traveled way that serves the driveway. The queuing area shall be no less than 10 feet wide by 20 feet long. 3. No parking spaces, intersections or other decision points shall be located in or served by a driveway queuing area. 4. Indicate all existing and proposed street improvements. 5. Drive aisles adjacent to a parallel loading area must have a minimum width of 32'. 6. Please indicate the amount of grading proposed for the project in cubic yards of cut/fill and import/export. 7. Please indicate 60' (CalTrans 407-D) turning radii for the proposed loading dock. Indicate how a 60' radius truck will circulate throughout the site to the loading areas. Please be advised, truck circulation throughout the site is a major staff issue of concern. ' 8. Indicate how National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) criteria will be met. Show parking lot water flow through a filtering system prior to discharge into a storm drain. 9. Show all existing and proposed topography and drainage patterns for the site. 10. No enhanced paving shall be allowed in the public right-of-way. 11. Please show any existing driveways on the opposite side of Tyler Street. 12. Office, small commercial and light industrial projects shall provide access and circulation for a 42' truck or bus per California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual, figure 407E. 13. All projects shall provide access and circulation to trash enclosures. The design vehicle parameters and turning radius for a trash truck shall be the same as the truck or bus design mentioned above, figure 407E. 14. The seven (7) lots shown on the plans must be merged into one lot as part of the project approval.. PRE 99-60; OCEANSIDE ^\SS TILE BUILDING 09/20/99 PAGE 4 15. A red-lined check print is enclosed for the applicant's use in making the requested revisions. This check print should be returned with the formal application submittal to facilitate continued staff review. Fire: The following issues were identified by the Fire Department during the preliminary review process: 1. Please amend the site plan to indicate locations of closest 3 fire hydrants. 2. Indicate height and manner of storage in warehouse, including any packaging materials. 3. Confirm that no chemicals associated with the manufacturing process will be stored on site. 4. Provide Material Safety Data Sheets for all chemicals used in the process. 5. All machinery including ovens and furnaces must be listed and approved for the intended use. 6. The entire building must be protected by automatic fire sprinklers. This preliminary review does not constitute a complete review of the proposed project, additional items of concern may be identified upon formal project application submittal. Please contact Lori Rosenstein in the Housing and Redevelopment Department at (760) 434-2813 if you have any questions regarding the information contained in this letter.
