This report presents an Update to our Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation Report, a Grading Plan Review and our response to the referenced third party review comments. P.O. BOX 230163 • ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA 92023 (858) 755-8622 Coast Geotechnical August 3, 2020 W.O. P-707419 Page 2 of 8 GEOTECHNICAL UPDATE A review of the current grading plans prepared by Rancho Coastal Engineering and Surveying suggests that the development of the site is in substantial conformance with the design concepts anticipated in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation Report. Proposed Grading The grading recommendations including temporary slopes and alternate slot cuts remain applicable and should be implemented during the grading and construction phases. Temporary slopes and slot cuts should be observed by an Engineering Geologist. Additional recommendations may be necessary based on actual conditions revealed during grading. Foundations The foundation recommendations presented in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation Report remain applicable and should be implemented during the design and construction phases. Retaining Walls Retaining wall design parameters remain applicable and should be implemented in the design phase. Special consideration should be given to waterproofing, as indicated in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation Report. Dynamic (Seismic) Lateral Earth Pressures Potential seismic loading has been revised based on California Building Code (2019) and ASCE 7-16. For proposed restrained walls (non-yielding), potential seismic loading should be considered. For smooth rigid walls, Wood (1973) expressed the dynamic thrust in the following form: APe = khYH2 (nonyielding) P.O. BOX 230163 • ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA 92023 (858) 755-8622 Coast Geotechnical August 3, 2020 W.O. P-707419 Page 3 of 8 where kh is /2 peak ground acceleration equal to 50 percent of the design spectral response acceleration coefficient (Sds) divided by 2.5 per C.B.C. (2007), Y is equal to the unit weight of backfill, and H is equal to the height of the wall. The pressure diagram for this dynamic component can be approximated as an inverted trapezoid with stress decreasing with depth. The point of application of the dynamic thrust is at a height of 0.6 above the base of the wall. The magnitude of the resultant is: iPe = 18.8 H2 (nonyielding) This dynamic component should be added to the at-rest static pressure for seismic loading conditions. For cantilever walls (yielding), Seed and Whitman (1970) developed the dynamic thrust as: iPe = 3/8 khYH2 (yielding) The pressure diagram for this dynamic component can be approximated as an inverted trapezoid with stress decreasing with depth and the resultant at a height of 0.6 above the base of the wall. The magnitude of the resultant is: APe = 7.1 H2 (yielding) This dynamic component should be added to the static pressure for seismic loading conditions. P.O. BOX 230163. ENCITAS, CALIFORNIA 92023 (858) 755-8622 Coast Geotechnical August 3, 2020 W.O. P-707419 Page 4 of 8 Seismic Considerations Although the likelihood of ground rupture on the site is remote, the property will be exposed to moderate to high levels of ground motion resulting from the release of energy should an earthquake occur along the numerous known and unknown faults in the region. The Newport/Inglewood Fault Zone located approximately 5.2 miles west of the property is the nearest known active fault, and is considered the design fault for the site. In addition to the Newport-Inglewood Fault, several other active faults may affect the subject site. Seismic design parameters were evaluated as part of this investigation in accordance with the 2019 California Building Code (CBC) and ASCE 7-16 Standard using the web-based United States Geological Survey (USGS) Seismic Design Tool. The generated results for the parameters are presented on Table 2. Table 2: Seismic Design Parameters Factors Values Site Class D Seismic Design Category 1111/Ill Site Coefficient, Fa 1.084 Site Coefficient, Fv N/A Mapped Short Period Spectral Acceleration, S 1.041 Mapped One-Period Spectral Acceleration, S1 0.378 Short Period Spectral Acceleration Adjusted for Site Class, 5MS 1.128 One-Second Period Spectral Acceleration Adjusted for Site, 5M1 N/A Design Short Period Spectral Acceleration, SDS 0.752 Design One-Second Period Spectral Acceleration, SDI N/A P.O.

P-707419 Page 5 of 8 Site Classification For Seismic Design Site soils are classified based on the upper 100 feet maximum of site subsoil profile. In the absence of sufficient or specific site data, appropriate soil properties are permitted to be estimated by the project geotechnical consultant based on known geotechnical conditions, and Site Class D is typically used as a "default", unless otherwise noted. Site Classes A and B shall not be assigned to a site, if there is more than 10 feet of soil (or fill) between the top of the underlying rock surface and bottom of the foundation. Site Classes A and B are most commonly supported by shear wave velocity determination (Us, ft/s). Site Class F, which may require a site response analysis, consists of liquefiable or collapsible soils and highly sensitive clayey soil profile. Site Classes C, D, and E soils may be classified using an average field Standard Penetration Resistance (R) method for soil layers based on Section 20.4.2 of ASCE 7-16. Where refusal is met for a rock layer (blow counts of 50 or greater for 6 inches or less penetration), Ni is taken as 100 blows per foot. Site Classification is then established based on Table 20.3-1 of ASCE 7-16. Requirements provided below are also applicable and should be incorporated in the project designs where appropriate: 1. Site specific hazard analysis is required (see Section 11.4.8) in accordance with Chapter 21.2 of ASCE 7-16 for structures on Site Class E sites with values of Ss greater than or equal to 1.0g, and structures on Site Class D and E sites with values of Si greater than or equal to 0.2g. However, the following 3 exceptions are permitted for Equivalent Lateral Force design (ELF) using conservative values of seismic design parameters in lieu of performing a site specific ground motion analysis: P.O. BOX 230163 • ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA 92023 (858) 755-8622 Coast Geotechnical August 3, 2020 W.O. P-707419 Page 6 of 8 * Structures on Site Class E sites with Ss greater than or equal to 1.0, provided the site coefficient Fa is taken as equal to that of Site Class C. * For structures on Site Class D sites with Si greater than or equal to 0.2, a long period coefficient (Fv) of 1.7 may be utilized for calculation of Ts, provided that the value of Seismic Response Coefficient (Cs) is determined by Equation (12.8-2) for values of the fundamental period of the building (T) less than or equal to 1 .5Ts, and taken as 1.5 times the value computed in accordance with either Equation 12.8-3 for T greater than 1.5 Ts and less than or equal to TL or Equation 12.8-4 for T greater than IL. * Structures on Site Class E sites with S 1 greater than or equal to 0.2, provided that I is less than or equal to Ts and the equivalent static force procedure is used for the design. Where Site Class B is recommended, and a site specific measurement is not provided, the site coefficients Fa, Fv, and FPGA shall be taken as unity (1.0) in accordance to Section 11.4.3 of ASCE 7-16. Where Site Class D is selected as the "default" site class per Section 11.4.3 of ASCE 7-16, the value of Fa shall not be less than 1.2. Where the simplified procedure of Section 12.4 is used, the value of Fa shall be determined in accordance with Section 12.14.8.1, and the values of Fv, SMS and SM1 need not to be determined. At the project property massive dense and competent Pleistocene Very Old Paralic Deposits occur at very shallow depths on the order of 1.0 foot maximum below the existing ground surface (BGS), and based on our past experience with similar deposits, Site Class D (Stiff Soil), can be conservatively considered for the project site subsoil profile, unless otherwise noted.
