Lot Coverage: Maximum 40 percent of lot area. b. Setbacks: -Front: 20 feet -Sides: 10 feet -Rear: 20 feet (the Habitat Management Plan standards referenced below may require a greater setback adjacent to native habitat) c. Height: Maximum 35 feet/two stories (minimum roof pitch is 3:12). 4. Pursuant to CMC Section 21.95.040, the site is a hillside lot but the project is exempt from obtaining a Hillside Development Permit if it complies with all hillside development standards as prescribed in CMC Section 21.95.140: 5.

This includes provisions related to fire management, erosion control, landscaping, fencing, signs, lighting and predator/exotic species. A biology letter shall be submitted to determine if the project has direct or indirect impacts on off-site or native habitat, which will require submittal of a Habitat Management Permit pursuant to CMC Section 21.210.030. The HMP is available through the following link: http://www.carlsbadca.gov/civicax/fi1ebank/blobdload.aspx?Blob1D=27193 6.

Pursuant to CMC Sections 21.85.030 and 21.85.110, the proposed project is subject to inclusionary housing requirements since there is a net gain of one dwelling unit. The developer has the option to satisfy the requirement through the payment of a housing in-lieu fee on a per unit basis for one unit. 8. The property is located within the ALUCP's Airport Influence Review Area 2, but it is not subject to any noise, safety, or overflight notification requirements of the current ALUCP.

Please review all information carefully before submitting. Land Development Engineering: 9. Complete a Stormwater Standards Questionnaire. This questionnaire will guide you and the City in determining what type of reports and storm water mitigation must be completed to satisfy state and City storm water quality requirements. The questionnaire can be printed from the following website link: http://www.carlsbadca.gov/civicax/filebank/blobd1oad.aspx?Blob1D 22711 PRE 2018-0031 (DEV2018-0189)-BABILONIA STREET SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE November 14, 2018 Pa e 3 Preliminary analysis suggests that the project is a Priority Development Project (PDP) and subject to installing numerically sized structural BMPs per Chapter 5 of the Carlsbad BMP Design Manual in addition to site design and source control BMPs per Chapter 4 of the Carlsbad BMP Design Manual. The project is likely a PDP since it involves more than 2,500 square feet of new impervious surface that drains to an environmentally sensitive area (ESA). The area within the abutting SDG&E easement has been classified as an ESA. The project would also be subject to hydromodification (See Chapter 6). No critical course sediment yield areas exist on the property per the WMAA. Unless the project can be redesigned so that it is no longer determined to be a PDP, submit a Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP) with your application for grading plan check. Use the City of Carlsbad SWQMP template (Form E-35) available on the City website. 10. A Preliminary Title Report (PTR) will be required with formal project application submittal. All easements and encumbrances identified in Schedule "B" of the PTR must be indicated on the site plan. 11. Submit a Geotechnical Study that provides recommendations for the proposed development including design recommendations for any proposed pollutant control BMPs as well as surface drainage. Additional plan check fees will apply for third party review of the report during grading plan check. 12. On the site plan, show locations and identify sizes of all existing utilities (including water main, fire hydrant, water services, water meters, sewer main, sewer laterals, and their appurtenances). Reference the drawing numbers of the city approved improvement plans for the existing utilities. 13. The project is located within the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD). Show the locations of domestic water service and water meters with backflow preventers on the grading plan. Note that all backflow preventers must be located outside the public right-of-way. Water service and meter shall be installed per CMWD Stnd DWG W-3A. This standard requires a one inch meter to ensure adequate flow for fire sprinklers. 14. The project is located within the Leucadia Wastewater District (LWD). Contact LWD early in the process as they may require that you submit an application for plan check. Plot location of sewer lateral and any existing sewer facilities on the property and label as 'by separate permit from LWD'. Be aware that a 10-foot wide sewer easement per Map 7367 traverses the property and this easement and any facilities within it appear to conflict with the location of the proposed house. However, this cannot be verified until adequate grading plans with plotted easement and facilities are prepared. LWD will determine if the proposal conflicts with their easement and facilities. 15. A grading permit will be required for the proposed development. Indicate the volume of grading (cut, fill, import, export, remedial) proposed for the project in cubic yards. Show all proposed grading via proposed contours, spot elevations, flow line elevations, etc. Identify any trees on the property and clarify whether they will be removed or remain. 16. Show existing structures, contour lines and/or spot elevations onsite and adjacent properties. Include adjacent property grades; spot elevations, walls, landscaping and any other structures within 25 to 50 feet of the subject property and plot direction of drainage flow. Any drainage flow currently flowing onto the property will need to be addressed so that flow is not impeded. Provide multiple cross sections at the property line to illustrate any grade differential between properties. ----------------·------·--·--·- PRE 2018-0031 (DEV2018-0189)-BABILONIA STREET SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE November 14, 2018 Pa e 4 17. Identify all wall heights with top of wall and bottom of wall elevations. Include structural notes and details for any custom design retaining walls which must be shown on the grading plan. Structural wall calculations must be submitted for review with the plans. Additional plan check fees will apply for said review. 18. Show proposed landscape irrigation service and water meter with backflow preventer per CMWD W- 20. 19. Curb and gutter exists on Babilonia St. frontage but not sidewalk. Property owner will be required to enter into a future improvement agreement (FIA) to install sidewalk at a future date uncertain if required by the city.
