Refere11ces: Attached
Dear Mr. Dunn:
In accordance with your request, we have performed a geotechnical investigation for a
proposed mixed use building at the subject site. Our work was performed in May 2018.
The purpose of our investigation was to evaluate geologic and soil conditions in the area
of proposed construction, and to provide grading and foundation recommendations. We
were provided a "Conceptual Site Plan ... " (Reference 6) that has been used as the base
map for the attached Plot Plan, Figure 2. With the above in mind, our scope of work
included the following:
• Research and review of available geotechnical reports and geologic literature
pertinent to the site (see References).
• Subsurface exploration consisting of two hollow-stem auger borings to depths of 20
and 20 1/2-feet for bulk and relatively undisturbed soil and bedrock sampling, and
geologic observation.
• Laboratory testing of soil samples obtafr1ed from the subsurface exploration.
• Engineering and geologic analysis.
• Preparation of this report providing the results of our field and laboratory work,
analyses, and our conclusions and recommendations.

SITEI)ESCRlPTION
The subject property is located 786 Grand Avenue in the city of Carlsbad, California (see
Location Map, Figure 1 ). The site consists of a relatively level, rectangular shaped
property that presently supports a one-story. day care structure with concrete parking
areas. The property is bounded by Jefferson Street to the east, Grand Avenue to the south
and multi use buildings and parking areas at similar elevations to the west and north.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Based on discussions with you and review of the "Architectural Plans ... " (Reference 6),
we understand that the proposed development consists of demolishing the existing site
improvements and constructing an approximately 7,000-square-foot, four-story, mixed
use building with covered parking and driveway areas. The building will include
retail/commercial space and residential condominiums. We anticipate that the structure
will be of wood or steel frame construction founded on conventional continuous/spread
footings with slab-on-grade ground floors. Grading is expected to consist of relatively
minor cuts and fills.
SUB SURF ACE EXPLORATION
Subsurface exploration consisted of drilling two hollow-stem auger borings to depths of
20 and 20 1/2-feet below existing site grades. The approximate locations of the borings
are shown on the attached Plot Plan, Figure 2.
The subsurface exploration was supervised by an engineer from this office, who visually
classified the soil and bedrock materials, and obtained bulk and relatively tmdisturbed
samples for laboratory testing. The soils were visually classified according to the Unified
Soil Classification System. Soil classifications are shown on the attached Boring Logs,
Figures 3 and 4.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing was perfonned on samples obtained during the subsmface exploration.
Tests performed consisted of the following:
• D1y Density and Moisture Content (ASTM: D 2216)
• Soluble Sulfate (Cal. Test 417)
• Direct Shear (ASTM: D 3080)

Laboratory Test Results, Figure 5.
SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
1. Geologic Setting
The subject site is located on a relatively level marine ten-ace that is contained within
the coastal plain region of northern San Diego County, California. The coastal plain
region is characterized by numerous regressive marine terraces of Pleistocene age that
have been established above wave-cut platforms of underlying Eocene sedimentary
bedrock and were fo1med during glacio-eustatic changes in sea level. The tetTaces
extend from areas of higher elevation east of the site and descend generally west-
southwest in a "stafr step" fashion down to the present day coastline. These marine
terraces increase in age eastward. The subject property is contained within the
southwest portion of the U.S.G.S San Luis Rey 7-1/2 minute quadrangle.
Based on the results of our subsurface investigation, the site is underlain by fill,
Quaternary marine and non-marine terrace deposits, and Santiago Fonnation bedrock.
No known or reported landsliding is lmown. to exist on the site. No lmown or reported
active or potentially active faults exist within the site.
2. Geologic Units
a. Fill -The fill soils consist of red brown silty sand that is dry and medium dense to
dense with a very low expansion potential. The existing fill is not considered
suitable to support compacted fill or the proposed improvements.
b. Tenace Deposits -Encountered at a depth of approximately 4-feet in boring B-1
and immediately below the ground surface in boring B-2 are terrace deposits
consisting of dry to moist, dense, red brown, and light brown silty sand. The
terrace deposits are considered suitable for support of compacted fill and
proposed improvements, and possess a very low expansion potential.

c. Santiago Fonnation Bedrock -Encountered at a depth of approximately 18 1/2-
feet in bo1ing B-1 and 20-feet in boring B-2, the bedrock consists of light grey
sandy siltstone and sandstone that is moist and hard to dense. Bedding within the
bedrock reportedly dips 10-degrees to the north-northeast.
3. Qr-9undw~ter
Groundwater was perched on the bedrock and encountered in both of the borings at
approximately 16 to 17-feet below site grades. It should be noted, however, that
fluctuations in the amount and level of groundwater may occUJ.· due to variations in
rainfall, irrigation, and other factors that may not have been evident at the time of our
field investigation.
SEISMICITY
The site is located witl;un the seismically active southern California region. There are,
however, no known active or potentially active faults presently mapped that pass through
the site nor is the site located within the presently defined limits of an Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zone. Active or potentially active fault zones within the site region
include the Rose Canyon and Elsinore (Temecula Segment). Strong ground motion could
also be expected from earthquakes occurring along the San Jacinto and San Andreas fault
zones, which lie northeast of the site at greater distances, as well as numerous other faults
which lie offshore.
The following table lists the known active faults that would have the most significant
impact on the site:
Maximum Probable
:Fault Earthquake Slip Rate
(Moment Magnitude) (mm/vear)
Rose Canyon 7.0 1.5
(8 kilometers/5-miles southwest)
Elsinore (Temecula Segment) 7.3 3
(39 kilometers/24miles northeast)
SEISMIC EFFECTS
1. Ground Accelerations
The most significant probable earthquake to effect the site would be a 7.0 magnitude
earthquake on the Rose Canyon fault. Based on Section 1803.5.12 of the 2016
HETHERINGTON ENGINEERING, INC.

Page 5
California Building Code~ peak ground accelerations (PGAM) of 0.476g are possible
for the design earthquake.
2. Landsliding
The risk of seismically induced landsliding to effect the site is considered nil due to
the level topography of the site.
3. Ground Cracks
The risk of surface fault rupture is considered low due to the absence of a known
active fault on site. Ground cracks due to shaking from seismic events m the region
are possible, as with all of southern California.
4. Liquefaction
The risk of seismically induced liquefaction to effect the site is considered low due to
the dense underlying terrace deposits.
5. Tsunamis
The "Tsunami Inundation Map ... " (Reference 2) indicates the site is not within a
tsunami inundation zone.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. General
The proposed development is considered feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.
Grading and foundation plans should consider the appropriate geotechnical features
of the site. Provided that the recommendations presented in this report and good
constmction practices are utilized during the design and construction, the proposed
grading and construction is not anticipated to adversely impact adjacent properties
from a geotechnical standpoint.
2. Seismic Parameters for Structural Design
Seismic considerations that may be used for structural design at the site, based on
Section 1613 of the 2016 California Building Code and ASCE 7-10, include the
following:

g, Long Period Transition Period -A Long Period Transition Period of TL = 8
seconds is provided for use in San Diego County.
h. Seismic Design Category -In accordance with Tables 1604.5, 1613.3.5, and
ASCE 7-10, a Risk Category II and a Seismic Design Category Dare considered
appropriate for the subject property.
3. Site Grading
a. Clearing and Grubbing -Existing site improvements, vegetation and
miscellaneous debl'is should be removed to an appropriate offsite disposal area.
Holes resulting from the removal of buried obstructions which extend below ·
finished site grades, should be replaced with compacted fill or lean concrete, In
the event that abandoned cesspools, septic tanks or storage tanks are discovered
during the excavation of the site, they should be removed and backfilled in
accordance with local regulations. Existing utility lines to be abandoned should be
removed and capped in accordance with local requirements.
b. Removal of Unsuitable Soils -Within the limits of the proposed improvements
and to 3-fcet beyond, where possible, existing fill and other unsuitable material
should be removed to approved terrace deposits. Removal depths of 1 to 4-feet are
anticipated. The actual depths and extent of removals should be determined by the
Geotecbnical Consultant during site grading.
c. Scarification -All areas to receive fill should be scarified to a minimum depth of
6 to 8-inches, brought to near optimum moisture content, and compacted to at
least 90-percent relative compaction based upon ASTM: D 1557.
d. Compacted Fill -Fill soils should be moisture conditioned to about optimum
moisture content and compacted by mechanical means in uniform horizontal lifts
of 6 to 8-inches in thickness. All fill should be compacted to a minimum relative
compaction of 90-percent based upon ASTM: D 1557. The on-site materials are
suitable for use as compacted fill. Rock fragments over 6-inches in largest
dimension and other perishable or unsuitable materials should be excluded from
the fill. All grading and compaction should be observed and tested by the
Geotechnical Consultant. Any imported soil should have a very low expansion
potential and should be approved by the Geotechnical Consultant prior to impo1t.

4. Foundation and Slab Recommendations
The proposed building may be supported on conventional continuous/spread footings
founded at least 24-inches below lowest adjacent grade and bearing in compacted fill
or terrace deposits. Continuous footings should be at least 18-inche..~ wide and
reinforced with a minimum of four #4 bars, two top and two bottom.
Foundations bearing as recommended may be designed for a dead plus live load
bearing value of 3000-pounds-per-square-foot. This value may be increased by one-
third for loads including wind and seismic forces. A lateral bearing value of 300-
pounds-per-square-foot per foot of depth to a maxi.mum value to 3000-pounds-per-
square-foot and a coefficient of friction between foundation soil and concrete of 0.35
may be assumed. These values assume that footings will be poured neat against
compacted fill or tenace deposits. Footing excavations should be observed by the
Geotecbnical Consultant prior to the placement of reinforcing steel in order to verify
that they are founded in suitable bearing materials.
Slab-on-grade floors should have a minimum thickness of 5-inches (actual) and
· should be reinforced with #4 bars spaced at 18-inches, center-to-center, in two
directions, and supported on chairs so that the reinforcement is at mid-height in the
slab. Floor slabs should be underlain with a moisture vapor retarder consisting of a
10-mil polyethylene membrane. At least 2-inches of sand should be placed over the
vapor retarder to assist in concrete curing and at least 2-inches of sand should be
placed below the vapor retarder. The vapor retarder should be placed in accordance
with ASTM: E 1643. Prior to placing concrete, the slab subgrade soils should be
thoroughly moistened.
Vapor retarders are not intended to provide a waterproofing function. Should
moisture vapor sensitive floor coverings be planned, a qualified consultant/contractor
should be consulted to evaluate moisture vapor transmission rates and to provide
recommendations to mitigate potential adverse impacts of moisture vapor
transmissions on the proposed flooring.
5. Temporary Excavations
Temporary excavations may be made up to 5-feet vertically in compacted fill or
terrace deposits, and at a 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) above 5-feet. Field observations
by the Engineering Geologist during excavation of temporary slopes are
recommended and considered necessary to confirm anticipated conditions and
provide revised recommendations if warranted.

6. Soluble Sulfate
A representative sample of the on-site soils was submitted for sulfate testing. The
result of the test is summarized on the Laboratory Test Results, Figure 5. The sulfate
content is consistent with a non-applicable sulfate exposure classification per Table
4.5.3 of the Ame1ican Concrete Institute Publication 318. Consequently, special
provisions for sulfate resistant concrete are not considered necessary. Other
corrosivity testing has not been performed, consequently, the on-site soils should be
assumed to be severely corrosive to buried metals unless testing is performed to
indicate otherwise.
7. Concrete Flatwork
Concrete flatwork should be at least 5-inches thick (actual) and reinforced with #4
bars spaced at 18-inches on center (two directions) and placed on chairs so that the
reinforcement is in the center of the slab. Slab subgrade should be thoroughly
moistened prior to placement of concrete. Contraction joints should be provided at 8-
feet spacing (maximum). Joints should create square panels where possible. For
rectangular panels (where necessary) the long dimension should be no more than 1.5
times the short dimension. Joint depth should be at least 0.25 times the flatwork
thickness.
8. Utility Trench Backfill
Utility trench backfill soils should be moisture conditioned to about optimum
moisture content and compacted by mechanical means in unifonn horizontal lifts. Lift
thickness should be dependant on the type of equipment used for compaction, but in
no case should exceed 8-inches in thickness. All utility trench backfill should be
compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90-percent based upon ASTM: D
1557. The on-site materials are suitable for use as compacted fill. Rock fragments
over 6-inches in dimension and other perishable or unsuitable materials should be
excluded from the fill.
9. Site Drainage
The following recommendations are intended to minimize the potential adverse
effects of water on the structure and appurtenances. Surface drainage should be
designed by the project Architect and/or Civil Engineer.

a. Consideration should be given to providing the structure with roof gutters and
downspouts that discharge to an area drain system and/or to suitable locations
awa.y from the structure.
b. All site drainage should be directed away from the structure. The on-site soils are
generally sandy in nature and considered erodible if exposed to concentrated
drainage.
c. Landscaping planned adjacent to the stmcture should be designed so as to
minimize the amount of moisture that can penetrate the pad subgrade soils to
prevent damage to the structure. Moisture accumulation or watering adjacent to
foundations can result in deterioration of wood/stucco.
d. Irrigated areas should not be over-watered. Irrigation should be limited to that
required to maintain the vegetation. Additionally, automatic systems should be
seasonally adjusted to minimize over-saturation potential particularly in the
winter (rainy) season.
e. All yard and roof drains should be periodically checked to verify they are clear
and flow properly. This may be accomplished either visually or, in the case of
subsurface drains, by placing a hose at the inlet and checking the outlet for flow.
10. Recommended Observation and Testing During Construction
The following tests and/or observations by the Geotechnical Consultant are
recommended:
a. Observation and testing of grading.
b. Observation of temporary slopes.
c. Observation of foundation excavations prior to placement of forms and
reinforcing steel.
d. Observation of interior and exterior utility trench backfill.
e. Observation and testing of concrete flatwork subgrade.

11. Grading and Foundation Plan Review
Grading and foundation plans should be reviewed by the Geotechnical Consultant to
confirm conformance with the recommendations presented herein or to modify the
recommendations as necessary.
LIMITATIONS
The analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site
conditions, as they existed at the time of our investigation and further assume the
excavations to be representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site. If
different subsurface conditions from those encountered during our exploration are
observed or appear to be present in excavations, the Geotechnical Consultant should be
promptly notified for review and reconsideration of the recommendations.
Our investigation was performed using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised,
under similar circumstances, by reputable Geotechnical Consultants practicing in this or
similar localities. No other warranty, express or implied, is made as to the conclusions
and professional advice included in this report.
This opportunity to be of service is sincerely appreciated. If you have any questions,
please call this office.
