Thank you for submitting a preliminary review to construct an approximately 17,804-square-foot, five-
story, multi-family residential condominium building located at APN 213-262-17-00, south of Palomar
Airport Road, at the terminus of Colt Place. The project site, a 2.6-acre lot, is a previously graded vacant
lot.
In response to your application, the Planning Division has prepared this comment letter. Please note that
the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with direction and comments on the overall concept
of your project. This preliminary review does not represent an in-depth analysis of your project. It is
intended to give you feedback on critical issues based upon the information provided in your submittal.
This review is based upon the plans, policies, and standards in effect as of the date of this review. Please
be aware that at the time of a formal application submittal, new plans, policies, and standards may be
in effect and additional issues of concern may be raised through a more specific and detailed review.

d. Planned Development Permit (PUD) -to construct the five-story, 80-unit building.
e. Site Development Plan (SDP) -for the affordable housing review.
3. Housing Element Sites Inventory -The project site is identified within the Housing Element sites
inventory (site 10) as a potential housing site with 49 dwelling units (i.e. 19 -23 dwelling units per
acre). The Housing Element is located on the city website at:
http-s://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/community-development/planning/housing-plan-update.
However, the site has not been selected by the City Council to be converted to residential use. It is
anticipated that the City Council selection process will occur in the Spring of 2022. If the site is
selected, the city plans to initiate the general plan land use designation change and master plan
amendment for the site (from industrial to residential land use) in the fall/winter of 2022.
4. General Plan Land Use Change and Density Bonus Request-Per state density bonus law (Government
Code 65915 (f)) a density bonus applies as a density increase over the maximum allowable gross
residential density as of the date of application by the applicant to the city. Because the property is
currently designated as industria!, a project proposing a general plan amendment with a density
bonus cannot be supported because the property, at the time of application, is not designated as
residential. If the applicant wishes to pursue a density bonus request (to achieve the proposed
residential density) the applicant should consider waiting to see if the site is selected as a future
residential site as described in bullet #3 to avoid conflict with density bonus law. A residential General
Plan Land Use Designation will need to be approved before a density bonus can be requested.
5. General Plan Land Use Change Without Density Bonus Request-The applicant can consider proposing
a general plan amendment to achieve the requested number of units without a density bonus request.
Prior projects that involved a General Plan land use change were required to provide a minimum of
20% of the total housing units on the site of the residential development as affordable to low income
households earning up to 80% of the San Diego County Area Median Income in exchange for the
change to or increase in residential density. The City Council provided this direction in Planning
Commission Resolution No. 7114 as part of the General Plan update approved by the City Council in
September 2015:
https://records.carlsbadca.gov/Weblink/DocView.aspx?id=5160564&dbid=0&repo=CityofCarlsbad&
searchid=15df2cf3-dc77-4c01-a872-552c8b6e6b65.
In exchange for the change to residential land use staff will recommend that the developer be
.conditioned to enter into an affordable housing agreement to provide a minimum of 20% of the total
housing units on the site of the residential development as affordable to low income households.
6. Senate Bill 330 -The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) established a preliminary streamline
application process for housing projects. It is not mandatory unless applicants seek the vesting and
processing benefits offered under SB 330. Participation in the SB 330 streamline process would occur
first, followed by the formal developm~nt application process required under Government Code (Gov.
Code)§§ 65940, 65941, 65941.5, and Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) § 21.42.050. Acceptance by the
city of a complete SB-330 Preliminary Housing Development Pre-Application form and fee will vest
the project for 180 days in accordance with the ordinances, policies and standards in effect at the
time the SB 330 Application is accepted.

c. Calculation of Density Bonus Units:
i. The calculation for density bonus is taken from the maximum allowable gross
residential density. For this project, the maximum allowed density per the
General Plan and zoning is 23 units per acre. With a 2.6-acre lot, 60 units would
be the maximum allowed for the site (2.6 x 23 = 59.8, rounded up). Therefore, to
achieve 80 units as proposed, a minimum of 18 percent of the 60 units, or 11 units
must be reserved for low-income households which will grant a 32 percent
density bonus.
ii. The 18 percent is applied to the maximum density allowed; or 60 units, and
results in 19.2 percent density bonus units, rounded up to 20 units for a total of
80 units allowed onsite.
d. Incentives/Concessions: When an application proposes incentives or concession for a
housing development, the density bonus report shall include the following minimum
information for each incentive requested and shown on the site plan:
i. The required development standards and the requested development
stand a rd s/i nee ntive.
ii. Reasonable documentation to show that the requested incentive will result in
identifiable and actual cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs.
iii. Based on the site plan and project description, the proposed project would
receive two incentives/concessions by restricting 18 percent to low-income
households. As proposed, the project will exceed the number of stories and
height requirement, which counts as two incentives. If the number of stories and
building height do no pose as a public health and safety issue and is not in conflict
with Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Federal Aviation Regulations {FAR)
Part 77, Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace (see comment no. 11 (f)), the city is
required to support the incentives.-
e. Waiver of Development Standards: When an application proposes waivers of
development standards, the density bonus report shall also include the following
minimum information for each waiver requested and shown on the site plan:
i. The required development standard and the requested development standard.
ii. Reasonable documentation that the development standards for which a waiver
is requested will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the
project at the densities or with the concessions or incentives permitted.
f. Requested Parking Reduction: The Density Bonus Report must provide a table showing
the parking required by the zoning regulations, parking proposed under Section 65915,
subdivision (p), and reasonable documentation that the project is eligible for the
requested parking reduction.

g. Design and Quality: Affordable units shall be comparable in exterior appearance and
overall quality of construction to the market rate units in the same housing development.
Interior finishes and amenities may differ from those provided in the market rate units,
but neither the workmanship nor the products may be of substandard or inferior quality
as determined by the city. In addition, the number of bedrooms of the affordable units
shall at least be equal to the minimum number of bedrooms of the market rate units.
Please refer to CMC Section 21.86.100 {found in the updated density bonus ordinance
provided in the link above) for the comprehensive list of housing standards for density
bonus projects.
11. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) -The project site is located within
the McClellan-Palomar Airport Influence Area {AIA). New development within the AIA must be
reviewed for consistency with the ALUCP. Preliminary review of this project against the ALUCP finds
the following:
a. Because the project includes a General Plan Land Use designation amendment, the project
will require the Airport Land Use Commission {ALUC) review for determination of consistency
with the ALUCP. The city will be responsible for submitting a consistency determination with
the ALUC.
b. Per Section 2.11.1 infill development for residential uses are not permitted in Safety Zone 2.
A portion of the project, closest to Palomar Airport Road is located within Safety Zone 2.
c. The project site is partially located in Safety Zone 2 and Safety Zone 6, in accordance with the
ALUCP, the average max intensity {number of people per acre) or density {number of dwelling
units per acre) of the site's proposed use shall not exceed 110 percent of intensity and/or
110% of density of all similar uses that lie fully or partially within the boundary of the area
identified by the local agency as appropriate for infill development.
d. Exhibit 111-1-Compatibility Policy Map: Noise. The project site is located outside of the 60 db
CNEL noise exposure range per Exhibit 111-1. Pursuant to the ALUCP Section 3.3.3{a) on page
3-19: "The threshold for evaluation is the projected 60 dB CNEL contour. This contour defines
the noise impact area of the Airport. All land uses located outside of this noise contour are
consistent with the noise compatibility policies."
· e. Exhibit 111-2 -Compatibility Policy Map: Safety. The project site is partially located ·within
Safety Zone 2 {Inner Approach/Departure) and Safety Zone 6 {Traffic Pattern Zone) per Exhibit
111-2. Pursuant to Table 111-2 {Pgs. 3-45 through 3-52), residential with a density of 20 dwelling
units or more is a compatible use within the area located in Zone 6.
For Zone 2, there are exercise rooms and pools proposed. Small indoor assembly which
includes the exercise rooms {capacity of 50 to 299) and small outdoor assembly which
includes swimming pools {capacity of 50 to 299) are incompatible uses and are not compatible
under any circumstances. If it can be determined that the occupancy, or capacity is less than
50 persons for each recreational use, the uses may be permitted within Zone 2.

15. New requirements related to the city's goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will likely
impact developr:nent requirements ofthis 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 applicant may be
required to submit and receive approval of a Consistency Determination or an Amendment
application for the project through the Planning Division.

Preliminary analysis suggests that the project is a Priority Development Project and is therefore
subject to designing and installing numerically sized water quality basins via a Storm Water Quality
Management Plan (SWQMP) per Chapter 5 of the Carlsbad BMP Design Manual in addition to
installing site design and source control best management practices (BMP) per Chapter 4 of the
Carlsbad BMP Design Manual. Worksheets in the manual shall be used to size the proposed water
quality basin shown on the site plan. The project appears to be subject to flow control (Chapter
6 Hydromodification) as well. Critical course sediment yield areas may exist on the property per
the WMAA Potential Critical Course Sediment Yield Area map for Carlsbad. Further analysis will
be required. Please plot proposed water quality basins, storage vaults and any other proposed
water quality BMP on the site plan. Provide details of BMPs.
2. Submit a preliminary grading plan with your application for discretionary permits. Include grading
quantities in cubic yards. A grading permit will be required. Include scaled cross sections between
the underground parking garage and westerly property line. Show any temporary back cuts to
construct walls and propose shoring walls as needed. Also, identify the height of the proposed
retaining wall at the base of the slope and provide cross section.
3. Submit a preliminary hydrology study with your application for discretionary permits.
4. Submit a current title report with your application and plot all easements listed in the report. For
any easements that cannot be plotted due to insufficient data, list the easement on the site pla,n
with a note stating such. City records show a blanket utility and access easement over the
property as Doc No. 2013-0729618 recorded 12/18/2013 (Project ID PR 13-36). Please provide
copy c:if this easement and any other easements on the property. Providing a pdf of the title
report with hyperlinks will suffice in lieu of proving hard copies.
5. Because the proposal is for more than four condominium units, submit an application for a
tentative tract map.
6. Please include topography and existing structures within 25 to 50 feet of the subject property.
The proposed driveway between the building and northerly slope shows it connecting with the
existing driveway on the adjacent westerly abutting property. However, a driveway does not
appear to exist per the alignment shown. Air photos indicate that the driveway would be aligned
with a row of parking spaces under a solar panel carport cover. Please clarify on the plans.
7. Please process reciprocal vehicular access easements or agreements between the adjacent
property and subject property since shared driveways are proposed. Provide copies of any
reciprocal access agreements or easements that already exist on the property.
8. Clarify if the driveway to Colt Place is proposed to be closed. This may need to remain open for
secondary emergency access. Please refer to any fire department comments.
9. Submit a traffic generation table. Compare the proposed generation rates in relation to existing
projected rates for uses currently permitted on the property. A traffic study may be required
based on the results of this information. Refer to the Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines
