PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW
Project Description:
Parcel 1 -APN 215-070-45 (North Lot)
Gross Area: 2.01 AC
Zoning: R-1
General Plan: R-4
Zoning District: L-C
PLSA 3496
Parcel 1 proposes a development of 9 market rate single family homes, along with an access road and
improvements. An alternative proposed design for Parcel 1 includes 13 single family homes, which takes advantage
of the Density Bonus with low-income housing.
Density Bonus Calculation:
• Based on R-4 Land Use Designation (4 du/ac), utilizing 4 units on 2.01 Gross/Net acres*: 8.04 units,
rounded up to 9 units.
o *assumes there are no deductions for slopes greater than 40% or "Land upon which other
significant environmental features as determined by the environmental review process for a project
are located"
• 1/9 = 11 % Very Low Income affordable 1 Very Low Income affordable unit required
• 35%* Density Bonus: 9 units x 0.35 = 3.15, rounded up to 4 bonus units
o per CMC 12.86.04 Table B
• Total of 13 units (12 market-rate and 1 very-low income)
Parcel 3 -APN 215-070-43 (South Lot)
Gross Area: 2.62 AC

Parcel 3 proposes a development of 5 market rate single family homes, along with dedicating a portion of the parcel
to public right-of-way. An exploratory design proposes an additional 2 single family homes on the lot adjacent (APN
215-070-23) and includes the dedicated right-of-way along existing access easements.

Density Calculation:
• Based on R-4 Land Use Designation (4 du/ac), utilizing 4 units on 2.62 acres: 10.48 units, rounded up to 11
units allow
• 5 units on Parcel 3 are proposed. The remaining area is proposed to be dedicated as biological open space.
Questions for staff:
Planning:
1. 13 lot density bonus project would require waivers. Confirm the reduction/modification to the following
development standards would be categorized as waivers: lot depth, lot width, lot area, FAR, lot coverage,
and setbacks.
2. Confirm that a waiver could be used to create a private road for access instead of a public road.
3. Confirm staff would support the quitclaim of easements [2], [3]. & [4] as shown on the exhibit.
4. Can easement [1] be replotted or quitclaimed once pad grades are set?
5. Confirm base density and density bonus calculations methods are acceptable to staff. (applicant
understands a site specific slope analysis and additional environmental documentation will be require to
determine exact density)
6. Will the City require a Phase I Environmental Assessment as part of the application?
7. Will a biological survey be required for this project?
8. Will a noise study be required for this project?
9. Will a traffic study or traffic improvements be required for this project? Currently, Poinsettia/Brigantine
intersection does not have a traffic signal.
Engineering:
10. What are the required improvements, dedications, or easements along Poinsettia, Brigantine, and Triton?
11. Parcel 1 : What is the minimum distance required between the Brigantine/Poinsettia intersection and the new
proposed private road access road approach?
12. Parcel 1: Does the access road need to have a specific intersection angle with Brigantine Drive? 7% max
departure from 90 degrees?
13. Parcel 1: Confirm cul-de-sac minimum radius is 36-ft to curb.
14. Parcel 3: Given the fact that the knuckle was initially designed without the 20-ft dedication of Lot 6, does the
new proposed dedication alter the knuckle design or requirements? i.e. can the knuckle be shifted further
east to align with road to the south.
15. Parcel 3: Will the project be required to provide a turnaround or cul-de-sac at the terminus of the access
road?
Utilities:
16. Parcel 1: Is it acceptable to tap water main off 8" stub near Brigantine/Poinsettia that feeds to fire hydrant
service? Or do we need to pull water service from Regatta/Brigantine intersection?
17. Parcel 3: Is it acceptable to tap water main off Triton for continuation? Appears to be 8" main.

Environmental:
18. Removal of some coastal sage scrub will be likely be required to develop this land. Is there a land bank that
we can buy into for mitigation? Is there a land bank planed for the near future?
19. If no coastal sage land bank is available, how can we mitigate the removal of vegetation?
20. For vegetation calculations can we consider the multiple parcels as one project if submitted as such?
21. What other environmental constraints would be present on this site?
Zoning:
22. We understand these property's have been selected for a possible "up-zoning" in the proposed Carlsbad
Housing Element, described as site 13, parcels 2, 3 & 4. If the up-zoning is adopted with the new housing
element and the how long will the up-zone take?
23. While the City is processing the up-zoning will we be able to concurrently process a project utilizing the new
zoning and density at our own risk? If so, when would staff consider accepting such a submittal?
24. Can we choose to not up-zone one of the properties if we decide?
