New requirements related to the city's goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will likely impact development requirements of this project. A formal application submittal will need to include a completed Climate Action Plan Checklist (Form P-30) to determine what requirements will apply to the project. New GHG reduction requirements are related to energy efficiency, photovoltaic, electric vehicle charging, water heating and traffic demand management requirements, as set forth in the California Green Building Standards Code and in Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapters 18.21, 18.30 and 18.51 which is available on the city's website at the following address: http://www.qcode.us/codes/carlsbad/view.php?topic=18&frames=on To the extent that new GHG reduction requirements are in effect at the time of application for grading or building permits, the project will be required to comply with the effective requirements even if different than what is proposed in the project's planning approvals. GHG reduction requirements may impact, but are not limited to, site design and local building code requirements. If incorporating new GHG reduction requirements results in substantial modifications to the project after planning approvals are obtained, then prior to issuance of grading or building permits, the applfcant may be required to submit and receive approval of a Consistency Determination or an Amendment application for the project through the Planning Division. All necessary application forms, submittal requirements, and fee information are available at the Planning counter located in the Faraday Building at 1635 Faraday Avenue or online at http://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/planning/default.asp.

A priority project is required to provide pollutant treatment BMP and hydromodification facility onsite and submit a Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP). 4. Show boundary data Including bearings and distances for the existing lot and proposed Parcels 1 & 2. 5. The proposed Parcel 2 driveway access on the panhandle shown on the preliminary site plan is not acceptable since Parcel 2 is a not a panhandle lot.
