Thank you for submitting a preliminary review application for a two-story single-family residence with a
first-story consisting of a 512.9-square-foot, two-car garage and the second-story consisting of a 496.8-
square-foot, one-bedroom residence. The project site, an approximately 22,476-square-foot lot located
at 3813 El Camino Real, is currently undeveloped.
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.
Planning:
1. General Plan and zoning designations for the property are as follows:
a. General Plan: R-4 Residential, 0-4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).
b. Zoning: R-1-10,000 (One-family Residential with 10,000 square foot minimum lot sizes)
2. The project requires the following permits:
a. Grading Permit (may be required once specific grading volume is calculated)
b. Building Permit
3. R-1 Zoning Standards. The one-family dwelling is subject to the standards of Carlsbad Municipal Code
(CMC) Chapter 21.10, One-Family Residential (R-1) Zone. Staff has the following comments regarding

a. Development Standards: Pursuant to CMC Section 21.10.120, all roofs shall have a pitch of
at least three inches in twenty inches. No roof shall be made of corrugated, extruded, or
stamped metal. ·
The flat roofs shown on the proposed exhibits do not appear to be in compliance with this
development standard. Please revise project to comply by providing a pitched roof.
4. El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards (Area 2). Because El Camino Real is considered a
scenic corridor within the city of Carlsbad, the project is subject to the El Camino Real Corridor
Development Standards, which may be found on the city's website at:
https://www.carlsbadca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/232/637425974083470000
5. 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:ljwww.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.

Prior to permit submittal, please complete a Stormwater Standards Questionnaire Form E-34. 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 is located on the City of Carlsbad website.
Based on a preliminary review of impervious area on site, it appears that this project will be a
Standard Project. Please fill out the Standard Project Requirement Checklist, Form E-36, prior to
submittal of permits and ensure that these BMPs are shown and called out on the site plan.
At time of permit submittal, please provide a preliminary title report within 6 months of the
