In the letter, I had explained that the expiration date of the Tentative Tract Map and Major Redevelopment Permit was January 16, 2012. On July 13, 2011, the Governor approved Assembly Bill No. 208 which extended the expiration date by 24 months of any approved tentative map that was not expired as of July 13, 2011 and will expire prior to January 1, 2014. Because the Tentative Tract Map has an expiration date of January 16, 2012, it and the associated Major Redevelopment Permit qualify for an automatic 24 month extension making the new expiration date January 16, 2014. There isn't anything required of you to keep the tentative tract map and Major Redevelopment Permit active. I hope this correspondence did not cause any confusion for you. If you have any questions regarding the information contained in this letter, please contact me at (760) 602-4631. ~£. Assistant Planner T 760-602-4600 F 760-602-8559 ® January 11, 2011 RUDY & CHERYL ZAVALANI 1868 CREST DRIVE ENCINITAS, CA 92024 Re: Permit Extension Dear Rudy and Cheryl: e Cit You recently inquired about the expiration dates for a Tentative Tract Map (CT 06-01) and Major Redevelopment Permit (RP 06-01) for approved for your property at 735 laguna Drive. On January 16 2007, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission approved the Tentative Tract Map and Major Redevelopment Permit which was good for 24 months (January 16, 2009). However, due to the economic conditions, the state passed SB 1185, which provided a one-year extension to all tentative map approvals that were still valid on July 15, 2008 and would have expired before January 1, 2011 making the new expiration date January 16, 2010. In addition, the state passed AB 333, which provided a two-year extension to all tentative map approvals that would have expired before January 1, 2012, making the new expiration date January 16, 2012. When SB 1185 was passed on July 15, 2008, the City of Carlsbad subsequently passed an ordinance to automatically extend any city-issued permits to run concurrent with the extended life of a tentative map. The city also extended any city-issued permits to run longer if the state legislature passed any new laws further extending the one year period provided for in SB 1185 (CMC 21.12.110 (a)(2)(i)(ii). The state legislature did so when it extended tentative maps for an additional two years through AB 333. Therefore the Major Redevelopment Permit (RP 06-01) also has an expiration date of January 16, 2012. I hope this correspondence answers the questions you had related to the expiration date of the entitlements on your property.

SOLANA BEACH CA 92075 Re: County Clerk Filing Fee (RP 06-01/ CT 06-01) Dear Mr. Dulich: As you are aware, on January 16, 2007 the Housing and Redevelopment Commission conditionally approved Major Redevelopment Permit No. RP 06-01 and Tentative Tract Map CT 06-01 for property located at 735 Laguna Drive. An environmental review is required for all land use permit applications, in which this project was exempt from any CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) review. As part of the exemption process, the lead agency (City of Carlsbad) is required to file a Notice of Exemption with the San Diego County Clerk. As of January 1, 2007, the County Clerk is now charging a documentary handling fee of $50. According to our records, we have not collected the $50 for the County Clerk documentary filing fee. Until the fee is collected and the Notice of Exemption can be filed, any local permits issued for the project are invalid. Please send a check made out to the San Diego County Clerk in the amount of $50 to the Housing and Redevelopment office in order for us to resend the Notice of Exemption to be recorded and filed. I apologize for any inconveniences. I have attached a copy of the letter from the office of the San Diego County Clerk as well as the Notice of Exemption.

That the project be denied for the following reasons: _x__ The following is a final Land Development Section project report for inclusion in the staff report for this project. LAND DEVELOPMENT SECTION Project Report PROJECT ID: CT 06-01/RP 06-01 PROJECT NAME: LAGUNA CONDOMINIUMS LOCATION: Southeast corner Laguna Drive and Madison Street. LEGAL: Portion of Lot 46 of Seaside Lands, per Map No. 1722, filed July 28, 1922, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California. APN 203-11 0-42, 203-11 0-43 DESCRIPTION: Demolition of an existing one story single family residence and construction of five residential condominium units, in three stories over a subterranean parking garage. 1 TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION: Projected Average Daily Trips (ADT): 40 Comment: Project generates minimal traffic, and does not trigger a requirement for a traffic study. The project is served by a single driveway off Madison Street to the subterranean parking garage. SEWER: Sewer: City of Carlsbad Sewer EDU's Estimated I Required: 5 EDU Comment: A new sewer lateral to serve each residential unit will be constructed from the existing 1 0" public sewer in Laguna Drive. WATER: Water District: Carlsbad Municipal Water District GPD Required: 1,250 GPD Comment: Project will a new water meter for each proposed unit. Two connections will be made to the existing 6" water main in Madison Street. Each water service will be manifolded to three meters, one meter for each residential unit, and one meter with a backflow preventer for irrigation of the common area. SOILS & GRADING: Quantities: Cut: 2,830 cy Fill: 5 cy Import I Export: 2,825 cy Area of Excavation: 0.3 acres Permit required: Yes, unless waived by the City Engineer Off-site approval required: No Hillside grading requirements met: NIA Comment: Proposed grading is almost exclusively for excavation of the underground parking. DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL: Drainage basin: A (Buena Vista Watershed) Preliminary hydrology study performed by: Aquaterra Engineering, Inc. 2 Erosion Potential: low Comment: The Preliminary Hydrology Report calculates a pre-development peak 100-yr. runoff of 0.67 c.f.s. and a post-development peak 100-yr. runoff of 1.03 c.f.s. The resultant increase in peak runoff of 0.36 c.f.s. is minimal. Since the project is at the lower end of the Buena Vista Watershed, the small increase is not expected to have any affect on the watershed peak flow, and will not cause any downstream erosion. The City Master Drainage Plan shows that the existing 30" storm drain in Laguna Drive should be replaced with a 45" storm drain. This project will pay into the Planned Local Drainage Area (PLDA) funds towards required storm drain upgrades. WATER QUALITY I NPDES: Receiving Water: Buena Vista Lagoon (SDRWQCB Watershed Basin 4.21) Receiving Water Body 303(d) impaired: Yes (Bacterial Indicators, Sedimentation I Siltation, Nutrient. Priority project per Order 2001-01: No Best Management Practices shown: Grass swales, covered parking. Comment: The project storm water runoff discharges into storm drains which outlet into Buena Vista Lagoon. The project has prepared a Preliminary Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP), and has been conditioned to prepare a Final SWMP with an standard level of Best Management Practices (BMPs). The project design incorporates vegetated swales to treat runoff from paved areas before it enters the storm drain system, includes covered parking which will prevent rainwater from coming into contact with parking surfaces, and indicates a filtration device will be utilized on the sump pump drain for the parking garage. LAND TITLE: Conflicts with existing easement: No Easements/dedication required: Yes Site boundary coincides with land title: Yes Comment: Project will dedicate an additional 1 0 feet of right of way on both Madison Street and Laguna Drive to create a half-street right of way of 30 feet. IMPROVEMENTS: Project will widen Madison Street and construct curb, gutter and sidewalk. Relocation will be required for an existing fire hydrant, storm drain inlet, and power pole. Laguna Drive is an Alternative Design street, so the developer is conditioned to execute a Neighborhood Improvement Agreement for future possible improvements. The project is proposing enhanced concrete within the public right of way, which, if allowed by the City Engineer, will require an encroachment agreement. 3 ENGINEERING CONDITIONS ENGINEERING CONDITIONS General 7.

Staff still has concerns regarding the upper levels of the east elevation being relatively flat and unarticulated (refer to attached redlines). Staff recommends some type of banding, varied surface treatment, varied building color, awnings, or exterior lighting to help break up the massing of the building as viewed from the east. Staff has the same concern of the lower building wall as viewed from Madison Street (refer to attached redlines). This wall could benefit from some type of building ornamentation (i.e. shutters) or decorative lighting. 3. Staff suggests the applicant consider a decorative wrought iron entry gate to the residences from Madison Street. This will help the overall appearance of the building from this elevation and will compliment the decorative wrought iron proposed along stairways and decks.

Laguna Condominiums e 02/16/2006 Page 4 of5 No. RP 06-01, CT 06-01 ISSUES OF CONCERN Staff has completed a review of the subject project for issues of concern. The following items need to be resolved or adequately addressed prior to staff making a final determination on the proposed project: (Please note, the issues are listed under the department which identified them as an area of concern.) Housing & Redevelopment: 1. The setbacks are incorrectly identified on the plans. The front yard setback is off of the shorter street frontage, Madison Street. The side yard setback off of Laguna Drive of 5 feet is within the permitted range as is the front yard setback of 5 feet. The rear yard setback range is 5-1 0 feet, therefore the 1 0-foot rear yard setback is at the maximum of the permitted range. However the side yard setback is required to be 10% of the lot width. The lot width is calculated according to CMC 21.04.265 and is 9'-7". The proposed 5-foot side yard setback is unacceptable and must be changed to the permitted setback of 9'-7" or support must be provided for a variance according to CMC 21.35.130. 2. As mentioned within the preliminary review, the proposed 20-foot driveway is required to be 24-feet wide according to CMC 21.45.060. Staff felt as though they could support a 20-foot drive entrance off Madison Street however the applicant must request a variance and provide the necessary justification. The justification should address the variance findings contained within CMC 21.35.130 and the findings contained within the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan (enclosed). 3. The proposed projects architectural design differs from the design submitted during preliminary review. Much of the surfaced ornamentation and architectural detail (i.e. divided light windows, shudders around windows, etc.) has been eliminated with the formal application. Staff suggest additional building articulation be provided similar to the submittal reviewed during preliminary review. 4. Please provide vehicle turning radius demonstrations on sheet A2. 5. The landscape plans shows landscaping around the trash area. Will this be a conflict when taking out the trash. How will the trash be serviced for the project? Please revise plans as necessary. 6. Please identify the enhanced paving treatment required for the driveway entrance to the project as specified within the PO Ordinance (21.45). Please identify this on the site plan, grading plan, and landscape plan, and provide on the sample materials board. 7. The peaks of the roof may not exceed the 35-foot height requirement. Please redesign to comply with building height according to Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) 21.04.065 on elevation sheets and section detail sheets. Building height is Laguna Condominiums e 02/16/2006 Page 5 of5 measured along all points from the lowest of existing or finished grade to the peak of the roofline. 8. Is rooftop mechanical equipment proposed? 9. Please draw in stairs and related up/down arrows on floor plans. Including up/down arrows on the plans to the entrances of the buildings. 10. Please identify location of AJC units for the residential units. 11. Please indicate building materials on elevations (i.e. rock, stucco, wood, tile, metal) and also provide similar information related to building colors. 12. For In-fill residential projects the applicant must provide photo-simulation scaled representations of the project as viewed from adjacent streets and adjacent developed single-family residential projects. Once the application is determined to be complete these photo-simulations will be requested. Fire: The Fire Department has completed its review of this project and shall require the following information and propose the following requirements/changes if applicant desires to proceed with this application. 1. The proposed location of the Fire Sprinkler system backflow assembly and riser locations need to be identified. These items also affect placement of fire hydrants and other utilities, as easements have to be drawn and recorded. 2. Fire Department standards will ask you to provide an area or room for the fire sprinkler riser that is accessible from the exterior. Garage interiors are acceptable so along s the riser assembly can be protected form interruptions and vandalism. To discuss all Fire Department related concerns, please contact Deputy Fire Marshal Gregory Ryan at (760) 602-4663. Engineering: Engineering Department comments are forthcoming and will be sent under a separate cover. Landscape Plan review: Comments on the Preliminary Landscape Plan based upon the review prepared by the City's Landscape Plan Check consultant are forthcoming and will be sent under a separate cover.

VARIANCE JUSTIFICATION 1 ). Special circumstances exist that are applicable to the subject property that justify granting the requested variance. First the shape of the lot is unusual due to its "wedged" shape configuration. This shape restricts the design flexibility and does not allow various options which might allow tor the complying driveway width. The second special circumstance is the required dedication of 1 0' along both laguna Drive and Madison Street. This reduces the lot size substantially (by approximately 23% ). The reduced lot size also restricts the workable room on the site further justifying the reduced driveway width. Finally the site location at the intersection of laguna Drive and Madison Street also adds constraints to the site. In particular it restricts the number of possible driveway locations. Since the driveway needs to be located a:Nay from the intersection, we do not have the full flexibility of designing the project in a manner which may have allowed the full driveway width. \ ) Without granting the variance, this project would have to be reduced from five units to four units. This strict application of the code would deprive this project of the same development potential (privileges) as other similar sized properties located in the middle of the block (same zone and vicinity) due to its shape, location and required dedications. ! c..: I \ i-···~~-~ (\~ (:.,_ ! 2). This variance would not constitute a grant of special privileges. Due to the unique circumstances outlined above, the requested variance would allow the subject property to be on par with other properties in its local vicinity and zone. 3). The requested variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the subject property. It allows us to develop the site with the use intended for this location by the zoning ordinance. 4). The requested variance in no way changes the use or development of the site in a manner that is inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the General Plan, Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan, and the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual. e e City of Carlsbad I@ I ki:W •X4 ·til II .14 ,J I Date: February 3, 2006 To: Cliff Jones-Planning Department From: J. Sasway, CPS-Police Department Subject: RP 06-01 I CT 06-01 -Laguna Condominiums Plan Review Recommendations The following recommendations are optimal security suggestions utilizing Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and are provided by Carlsbad Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit. The purpose of this document is to safeguard property and public welfare by reviewing and regulating the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures. The Crime Prevention Unit presents recommendations in two sections, site considerations and building recommendations. Site Considerations Create Defensible Space Strategies to consider: Provide clearly defined transitions from public to private space. Use landscaping, fencing and ground cover to create territoriality and an identity for the property. Use natural barriers to designate space and separate activities that may conflict. Design space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Design the space to direct the flow of people in the manner intended, preventing people from entering unauthorized space. Consider that if people feel comfortable and safe in all areas, they are more likely to use the areas. Lighting All vehicular drive surfaces, open parking areas and carports should be illuminated with a minimum maintained 1 foot-candle of light at ground level during the hours of darkness. All exterior common area pedestrian walkways and recreation areas should be illuminated with a minimum maintained 0.25 foot-candle of light at ground level during the hours of darkness. Open stairways and enclosed common area corridors should be illuminated with a minimum maintained 0.5 foot-candle of light on all landings and stair treads during the hours of darkness. · Enclosed stairways shall be illuminated at all times with a minimum maintained 1 foot-candle of light on all landings and stair treads. Cluster mailboxes and trash enclosures located on the exterior should be illuminated with a minimum maintained 1 foot-candle of light, measured within a five-foot radius at ground level, 2560 Orion Way • Carlsbad, CA 92010-7240 • (760) 931-2100 • FAX (760) 931-8473 <!) during the hours of darkness. Recessed areas of building or fences, which have a minimum depth of two feet, a minimum height of five feet, and do not exceed 6 feet in width and are capable of human concealment, shall be illuminated with a minimum maintained 0.25 foot-candles of light at ground level during the hours of darkness. This requirement applies to defined recessed areas that are within 6 feet of the edge of designated walking surface with an unobstructed pathway to it, not hindered by walls or hedgerow landscaping a minimum of two feet in height. Accessible luminaries utilized to meet the requirements of this section shall have vandal resistant light fixtures and be not less than three feet in height from the walking surface when used to illuminate walkways and a minimum of 78 inches in height above the driving surface when illuminating surfaces associated with vehicles. Light fixtures shall be deemed accessible if mounted within 15 feet vertically or 6 feet horizontally from any accessible surface or any adjoining roof, balcony, landing, stair tread, platform or similar structure. The light source utilized to comply with this section to meet parking and drive surface lighting shall have a rated average bulb life of not less than 10,000 hours. Landscaping For surveillance and security, Tree canopies should not be lower than 5 feet. Do not allow trees to provide access to roofs or balconies. Let landscaping augment, not deter from lighting. Plant low profile shrubs, below three feet Apply security plants where necessary to prevent loitering and tampering Install walls and fences that are see through for surveillance. Lock gates and install gates that allow surveillance. Addressing Each individual unit within the complex should display a prominent identification number not less than 4 inches in height, contrasting in color to the background to which it is affixed and clearly visible to approaching vehicles and/ or pedestrians. Numerals should be no less than 4 inches in height and illuminated during the hours of darkness. Entrances Keep entranceways clear of clutter. Ensure you allow vision from the front access street to front door entrance. Parking Structures It is recommended that the entrance to the underground parking be gated for protection of the vehicles and personal safety of the residents. Lighting Lighting is the most important security feature in a parking facility. Vertical illuminance is an equally important consideration in parking facility lighting. Uniformity is also critical. The minimum illuminances in any one point should be 2 foot-candles. Position lights over vehicles or near beams rather than in drive aisles to reduce glare. Or choose fixtures with built in shields to reduce glare. Natural Surveillance Natural surveillance is the next most critical parking facility design issue after lighting. Long- span construction and high ceiling create openness and aid lighting the facility. Dead end parking and nooks and crannies should be avoided. Elevators Elevator cabs, the interiors of which are not completely visible when the door is open from a point centered on and 36 inches away from the door, shall have shatter resistant mirrors or other equally reflective material so placed as to make visible the entire elevator cab from this point. The elevator cab shall be illuminated at all times with a minimum maintained two foot- candles of light at floor level. Stairways Interior doors shall have glazing panels a minimum of flve inches wide and 20 inches in height and meet requirements of the Uniform Building Code. Areas beneath stairways at or below ground level shall be fully enclosed or access to them restricted. Stair towers and elevators have been the highest risk for personal injury as they are typically enclosed. Stairways shall be designed to be completely visible from either the interior or exterior or both, unless mandated by the Uniform Building Code to be enclosed. Fully enclosed interior or exterior stairways with solid walls, when required, shall have shatter resistant mirrors or other equally reflective material at each level and landing and be designed or placed in such a manner as to provide visibility around corners. Parking Storage Install wooden doors of solid core construction with a minimum thickness of one and three- fourths (1-3/4) inches. Equip all doors with a single cylinder dead-bolt lock using a S-pin tumbler. Connect the dead bolt to the inner portion of the lock by connecting screws. Ensure the lock has a one-inch throw that can withstand a cutting tool attack. Choose a deadbolt that embeds at least one inch into the strike plate. · Strike plates for deadbolts on all wood framed doors should be constructed of a minimum 16 U.S. gauge steel, bronze, or brass and secure to the jamb by a minimum of two screws, which should penetrate at least two inches into the solid backing beyond the surface to which the strike is attached. Equip all storage doors with a latch cover constructed of steel. Ensure the latch cover is a minimum of .125 inch thick. Attach the latch cover to the outside by welding or with non- removable bolts spaced apart on not more than ten-inch centers. Doors Install wooden doors of solid core construction with a minimum thickness of one and three- •• fourths (1-3/4) inches. This includes the garage or any other pedestrian door. Further, equip all doors with a single cylinder dead-bolt lock using a S-pin tumbler. Connect the dead bolt to the inner portion of the lock by connecting screws. Ensure the lock has a one- inch throw that can withstand a cutting tool attack. Choose a deadbolt that embeds at least one inch into the strike plate. Arrange all entry and exit doors to dwelling units so that the occupant has a view of the area immediately outside the door without opening the door. Except doors requiring a fire protection rating that prohibits them, a door viewer having a field of view of not less than 190 degrees may provide such a view. Mounting height should not exceed fifty-four inches from the floor. Further, install no glass panels within forty inches of a locking device. Doors that are partially glass should have a single cylinder dead-bolt lock. Equip these doors with a burglar resistant glaze to prevent someone from breaking the glass to enter the home. Latch covers are suggested on all common area doors or garage area doors. Strike Plates Strike plates for deadbolts on all wood framed doors should be constructed of a minimum 16 U.S. gauge steel, bronze, or brass and secure to the jamb by a minimum of two screws, which should penetrate at least two inches into the solid backing beyond the surface to which the strike is attached. Double Doors When pairs of doors are used, a one-piece assembly attached to the full-length edge of the inactive door leaf, incorporating an astragal and flush-bolts for the header and threshold, will take the place of a strike plate, provided the assembly is constructed of aluminum or steel and is a minimum of one-eighth inch in thickness. Hinges Hinges for oust-swinging doors should be equipped with non-removable hinge pins or a mechanical interlock to preclude removal of the door from the exterior by removing the hinge pins. Keying Upon occupancy by the owner, each single unit in a tract constructed under the same general plan, should have locks using combinations that are interchange free from locks used in all other separate dwellings. Windows Choose movable windows with security hardware to prevent them from being lifted from the frame or forced to slide. MaU Boxes Mailboxes should be located in highly visible areas adjacent to common areas. By, Jodeene R. Sasway Crime Prevention Specialist Carlsbad Police Department (619) 931-2195 • June 24, 2005 ROBERT DULICH 675 W CIRCLE DR SOLANA BEACH CA 92075 SUBJECT: Preliminary Review for Laguna Condos-PRE 05-38 (APN: 203-110-42 & 203- 110-43) A preliminary review of your project was completed on June 24, 2005. 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. Housing & Redevelopment and Planning: Housing & Redevelopment and Planning Department comments on the preliminary review are as follows: 1. Project Processing: a. The required land use permit for a project of this size is a Major Redevelopment Permit and Tentative Tract Map. This will require a public hearing before the Design Review Board for recommendation and a public hearing before the Housing & Redevelopment Commission for final decision. The required applications can be acquired from the Housing & Redevelopment Department. b. Please submit a fully completed environmental impact assessment form with the formal application submittal to determine what level of environmental review is required. It is anticipated that the project will be exempt from environmental review per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. 1. General Comments: a. Please review the Major Redevelopment Permit Application checklist thoroughly to make sure that all items are addressed on the plans before formal project submittal. b. Staff has concerns about the appearance of the east and south elevations. Since these elevations were not provided, staff could not review the architectural detail of those. elevations. However, an analysis of the site plan leads staff to believe that little to no recesses are provided ~long those elevations leaving a large blank wall scaling 30+ feet. Staff encourages the applicant to consider more attention to design be provided along those elevations. These elevations should be designed with detail elements that complement the front elevations of the building to avoid the appearance of a flat building elevation. c. Staff has concerns about the massing of the building at the south-west corner. In addition the unit at the south-west corner lacks the required balcony space (120 s.f. of balcony space required per CMC 21.45). In order to soften the corner and meet the requirements of CMC 21.45, staff suggests the applicant consider wrapping the units balcony along Madison Street allowing the front elevation to be softened by the recessed balcony space. Staff also suggests that the unit at the southwest be stepped back at the third level. 2965 Roosevelt St .. Ste.

Staff suggests that the units have mechanical ventilation to allow windows to be closed during noisy times. e. Please indicate the locations of water heaters. f. Please indicate doorways and windows on floor plans. g. The stairways and entrances should be clear on the plans. 1. Project Density -The Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan does not establish specific residential densities within the redevelopment area. In accordance with the Village Master Plan, the applicable General Plan residential density designation shall be determined for each project based upon compatibility findings within the surrounding area. The applicable project density is between 15-23 dwelling units per acre. However, the Growth Management Control Point restricts the number of dwelling units to 19 per acre. In order to exceed 19 dwelling units per acre staff will need to make the findings identified in 21.90.045 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Density is calculated based upon gross floor area. Please indicate gross site area on the site plan and calculate the density based on this number. The project will have to meet the required development standards mentioned in the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan including the universal development standards and specific development standards addressed for properties within District 8 and the basic design principles identified within the Design Guidelines. 2. Building Setbacks: a. The established range for front setbacks within Land Use District 8 are as follows: F rent: 5-15 feet. Side: 5-10 feet street side. 10% of lot width Rear: 5-1 0 feet. Provide setback information on site plan. Indicate approximate location of existing structures within 100 feet. b. In all cases where a range has been established as the appropriate setback standard within a given district, the top of the range is considered to be the desired standard. For an approval of a setback standard, which is above the maximum for the subject land use district, a variance must be approved by the authorized approving body/official. Variances shall be granted according to the regulations set forth in Section 21.35.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. A variance for a setback standard which exceeds the top of the range, or the individual standards set forth, will be granted only if the project meets one or more of the following criteria: • The project is in a location where adjacent building are set back further than the permitted standard (range), adjacent buildings are likely to remain, and setting the structure back to the desired standard will maintain and reinforce the Village character of the area. • The project is in a location, which is in a transition area to residential development and where increased setbacks would soften the visual transition between commercial and residential development or would protect the livability of the residential development. c. The west elevation is set back at 4'-2" (setback of front property line to support columns), The west side yard setback must be setback at a minimum of 5 feet. The posts should be setback a minimum of 5 feet. 5. Building Coverage: Please show building coverage standard on formal project submittal. The building coverage standard for projects in Land Use District 8 is 60% to PRE 05-38 Laguna Condo. 06/24/2005 • Pa e3 80%. Special findings will have to be made if coverage is greater than the maximum permitted. There are no floor area rations in the City of Carlsbad. Indicate building coverage on the plans. 6. Building Height: Maximum building height is 35' with a minimum 5:12 roof pitch. Building height is the vertical distance of a structure measured from the more restrictive (lowest) of finished or existing grade. The vertical distance is measured from all points at grade along and within the building coverage to the highest point of the structure directly above that point of measurement. The applicant shall provide elevations and sections to show proposed building height. Identify the overall building height on the plans. 7. Parking: The applicant will be required to satisfy parking for the residential (tenant and guest) portion of the project on site. a. The proposed project would require parking for condominium use, which is 2 standard spaces per unit with one being covered, and .5 spaces per unit up to 10 units for guest parking. Water heaters and other projections may not encroach into the required parking area. b. Parking spaces are required to be a minimum of 8.5 feet in width and 170 square feet. Therefore, the parking spaces must be either 8.5' x 20' or 9' x 19'. In addition, two feet of clearance shall also be included where each parking space abuts a solid wall or posts. A backup distance of 24 feet shall be maintained in addition to a minimum 5 foot turning bump located at the end of any stall entries. A maximum of 40% of the total number of parking spaces provided on-site may be constructed to meet the requirements of a small compact vehicle. Compact spaces must be a minimum width of eight feet and a minimum length of fifteen feet with no overhang permitted. c. Please identify the location of the support columns on the plans. Note that the support columns may interfere with the parking circulation and/or standards. d. Please show detailed parking calculations on the site plan. 8. Open Space: Please include an open space calculation on the plans. A minimum of 20% of the site must be maintained as open space. The areas that qualify as open space include; landscaped planters, open space pockets, balconies, and patios. No parking spaces or drive aisles are permitted in the open space calculation. 9. Planned Unit Development Ordinance: Condominium projects proposed for individual ownership is required to meet the development standards of the Village Master Plan. When not provided for in the Master Plan, the project is also required to meet the standards of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance (CMC 21.45). A copy of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance has been included for your use. Pursuant to Chapter 21.45 of the Zoning Ordinance, following is a list of what will be required: a. Driveway -Minimum 24 feet wide with no parking permitted in travel way. b. Storage space is required for each unit. Each unit shall have at least 392 cubic feet, when provided in one location, or 480 cubic feet when provided in separate areas. Storage areas shall be separately enclosed for each unit and be conveniently accessible to the outdoors. c. For projects of 1-1 0 dwelling units, each unit shall have 15 x 15 of patio space or 120 square feet of balcony area. In order to make balcony areas useable and functional, provide a 6-foot minimum width. d. Please show compliance with these requirements on your plans. PRE 0~-38 laguna Condos e 06/24/2005 Pa e4 • 10. The project is subject to the City's inclusionary housing requirement. Therefore 15% of the total units must be affordable to low income persons. 11. Indicate on the site plans the proposed trash area. Due to the high visibility of the trash enclosure, please consider the use of a split face masonry wall or similar material that will resist graffiti. Engineering must approve location of trash enclosure to insure it does not impact visibility of driver exiting the site. 12. Conformance with Design Guidelines: The project must be consistent with the design guidelines set forth for the area. A copy of the Village Design Guidelines has been included for your use. It is recommended that you reexamine the Design Guidelines set forth in the Village Master Plan and consider some modifications to the exterior design of the building. In particular, the design guidelines encourage the following: a. A variety of setbacks along any street frontage. b. An abundance of landscaping planted to create an informal character. c. Treat structures as individual buildings set within a landscaped green space. d. Emphasize the use of gable roofs with slopes of 5 in 12 or greater -Roof forms should be prominent and used to integrate commercial and residential structures into a unified visual environment. e. Avoid flat roofs -limit flat roofs to minor areas which cannot be easily seen; f. Emphasize wood and composition shingle roofs. g. Design visual interest into all sides of the building -front facades facing streets or public access should receive special design attention. Other facades, which are visible, should also be visually pleasant. h. Provide facade projections and recesses. i. Utilize applied surface ornamentation and other detail elements for visual interest and scale. j. Encourage front entry gardens. k. Emphasize "Cottage" form, scale, and character-The use of gable roofs, varied roof heights, dormers, interesting details and an informal composition will enhance the area's Village character and provide a visual relationship between residential and adjacent commercial buildings. I. Integrate fences and walls into the building design. If you have any questions regarding Housing and Redevelopment Department comments please contact Cliff Jones at 760-434-2813. Building: 1. The attached State Emergency regulations appear to affect this type of proposed project. It's likely to become permanent Jaw in California and goes into affect July 1, 2005. Projects for which permits are applied for after that date will need to comply with these emergency regulations. 2. It is recommended that the applicant meet preliminarily w/ EsGil Corp to review exiting schemes -the third level exit stairway does not show an exit door, so staff is unsure where it leads people trying to get away in an emergency. If you have any questions regarding Building Department comments please contact Pat Kelley at 760-602-2716. PRE 05-38 Laguna Condo. 06/24/2005 • Pa e5 Engineering: Engineering Department staff has completed a preliminary review of the above subject. For the applicants benefit we have broken down our issues into two sections. The first section identifies "Significant Issues" and the second section lists "General Issues". Prior to formal application submittal, it is suggested the following items are adequately resolved/addressed: Significant Issues 1. Order No. 2001-01 was recently issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. This action leads to updates in the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. These new regulations involve significant changes to this project and other projects processed throughout the San Diego region. In order to facilitate the compliance of this project, the following are some criteria that should be incorporated into the design of the project: a) All efforts should be made to ensure that post development storm run-off flows and velocities do not exceed pre-development storm run-off flows. This can be proved via engineering calculations in a project hydrology/hydraulic report. This report must be submitted as part of the discretionary review application. b) Revise the plan to incorporate Best Management Practices (BMP's) as outlined in the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbooks, latest edition. Depending on the anticipated pollutants generated from the site, these measures may include but are not limited to one or a combination of grass swales, pollution control basins, inlet filters, oil water separators, etc. Revise the plans to include measures to capture anticipated pollutants from the project and street. Storm water from the site must be filtered before being discharged to City right-of-way. c) Offsite and downstream siltation would not be permitted at any time during the project (during construction or after). d) The applicant will be required to submit to the City a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that addressed both construction and post-construction phases of the project. The SWPPP will not be required as part ofthe discretionary review, but will be required before issuance of development permits (grading permits, right-of-way permits, building permits, etc.). We encourage you to revtew the permit requirements (http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwgcb9/Programs/Storm Water/storm water.html) so that you understand the nature of our comments when they are made on projects. 2. Madison Street is classified as a "Compatible Improvement Street" under the Street and Sidewalk Policy Committee Report. The project will be required to complete Madison Street with curb, gutter and sidewalk consistent with current City standards. 3. Laguna Drive across the project frontage is classified as a "Alternative Design Street" under the Street and Sidewalk Policy Committee Report. The project applicant will participate in an "alternative design process", facilitated by City Engineering staff, including notifying surrounding property owners and soliciting input, to determine appropriate street improvements to the Laguna Drive frontage. PRE 05-38 Laguna Candee 06/24/2005 Pa e6 • 4. Provide a preliminary hydrology study that identifies the pre-and post-development discharge flows and shows either a) that no increase in peak runoff is proposed due to onsite detention, b) that downstream facilities are adequate to handle the increased runoff with no damage to other properties or increased erosion in natural watercourses, or c) the design of new drainage facilities to adequately handle the runoff. 5. Identify the existing finished floor elevation of adjacent structures (or elevations just next to the structures). This requirement demonstrates how the project relates to existing adjacent development in infill areas. Show any proposed retaining/screen walls with top of wall, top of retaining, and finished grade elevations. General Issues 1. Please be advised that in order to make a more in-depth review of the proposed development, a more complete design of the project is required. 2. A public improvement plan will be required for the public waterline improvements and any other improvements proposed within City right-of-way or public easements. 3. Provide multiple cross-sections of the site to demonstrate differences in grade, especially as it relates to adjacent properties. 4. Add symbols to the plans to identify the difference between existing and proposed improvements. Show the existing structures to be removed. 5.
