Additional studies may be required based on results of the above studies and also other studies being requested by the reviewing City Departments and Divisions listed below. 4. 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 development 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 Streamline Application (Form P-32) 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. 5. Per the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330), any project that includes the removal or demolition of a "protected unit" is required to provide the occupants with 1) relocation benefits (Gov. Code§ 7260 et seq.), and 2) right of first refusal for a comparable unit available in the new housing development. (Gov. Code § 66300 (d)(2)(D).) "Protected units" are generally defined by Gov. Code § 66300(d)(2)(E)(ii) as including residential units subject to affordability restrictions, price controls, or occupied by low income households. The formal submittal of the project will need to include documentation regarding any existing "protected units." 6. 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/car1sbad/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. 7. The preliminary review exhibits, specifically Sheet T.1, refers to accessory dwelling units (AD Us) within the density calculation; however, no ADUs are proposed within the floor plan exhibits and therefore should not be included in any part of the application or density discussions. (See Housing & Homeless Services comments below for additional details regarding density, density bonus and affordable housing requirements.) Community Development Department Planning Division \ 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 I 442-339-2600 PRE 2024-0016 (DEV2024-0033) -ROOSEVELT CONDOS April 15, 2024 Pa e4 8. The project is requesting parking reductions pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 2097. Please be aware, irrespective of proximity to public transit, state law allows the city to continue to apply minimum parking standards for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations as well as required parking spaces accessible to persons with disabilities (ADA). The proposed project site plan does not provide either and will need to be revised to accommodate requirements. (See Building Division comments below for additional details and requirements.) 9. Pursuant to AB2097, the city may require that the voluntary parking spaces meet established minimum location and design standards. As such, staff is providing the following comments: a. The minimum width of aisles that provide access to parking spaces with 90 degree parking is 24 feet wide. Additional width may be required for vehicle/emergency vehicle maneuvering. (CMC Section 21.44.050, Table B). With a formal submittal, please be sure to dimension the width of the proposed drive-aisles leading to each garage and open parking space. b. The two open parking spaces located towards the rear of the property are required to provide a minimum area of 170 square feet and a minimum width of 8.5 feet. (CMC Section 21.44.050, Table B). With a formal submittal, please dimension all proposed parking stalls to comply. c. Required uncovered parking spaces may be located within the side and/or rear yard setback, provided that a six-foot-high masonry wall (or some other solid material approved by the decision- making authority) is built along the property line adjacent to the setback area. (CMC Section 21.44.060, Table C). With a formal submittal, please plot and identify said screening, height, and materials. d. For two-car garages, the minimum interior dimensions are required to be 20 feet by 20 feet. (CMC Section 21.44.060, Table D). Please revise the proposed site plan to accommodate said minimum requirements, where applicable please dimension each garage space as it relates to the interior dimension. Please note that any proposed storage cabinets, trash can alcoves, hot water heaters, HVAC, laundry, etc. shall be located outside of this minimum interior dimensional space. Overhead, ceiling mounted, garage storage is permissible. e. For one-car garages, the minimum interior dimensions are required to be 12 feet by 20 feet. (CMC Section 21.44.060, Table D). Please revise the proposed site plan to accommodate said minimum requirements, where applicable please dimension each garage space as it relates to the interior dimension. Please note that any proposed storage cabinets, trash can alcoves, hot water heaters, HVAC, laundry, etc. shall be located outside of this minimum interior dimensional space. Overhead, ceiling mounted, garage storage is permissible. 10. The project frontage along Jefferson Street currently includes two curb cuts into the site and may have adequate space for one parallel parking space between. With the proposed development, namely the addition of a central drive aisle, it may be possible that two parallel parking spaces may be accommodated on each side of the drive aisle. With a formal submittal, please update the site plan to identify all parallel parking spaces that can be accommodated across the project frontage. Parallel parking space dimensional requirements are as follows (CMC Section 21.44.050, Table B): Community Development Department Planning Division I 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 I 442-339-2600 PRE 2024-0016 (DEV2024-0033)-ROOSEVELT CONDOS April 15, 2024 Pa e 5 • Minimum length of 24 feet, exclusive of driveway/drive-aisle entrances and aprons. • Minimum length of 20feet if located immediately adjacent to a driveway/drive-aisle apron. • Minimum width of 7 feet. 11.

Housing & Homeless Services (Mandy Mills): 1. Density Bonus Calculation. There is conflicting information in the pre-application submittal. The drawings and scope of work on the plans reflect six residential units. The density calculation on the plans as well as the Preliminary Review Request Form each state a different unit count. Please remove references to other unit counts. Additionally, a technical assistance letter from HCD was included and referenced but is not applicable to this project as no accessory dwelling units are proposed. When a development permit application proposed under Government Code §65915 (state density bonus law) is submitted, the applicant will need to submit the Density Bonus Report (formally known Community Development Department Planning Division I 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 I 442-339-2600 PRE 2024-0016 (DEV2024-0033)-ROOSEVELT CONDOS April 15, 2024 Pa e 11 as the Supplemental Checklist) Form P-l(H) Density Bonus Report (carlsbadca.gov). The form will allow confirmation of density calculation, affordable unit count and incentive eligibility. If the application is proposing six residential units, the following density calculation would be used to calculate the density bonus. Acreage: Max Density: Base Units: DB requested 20%: Max: 0.20 23 du/ac 4.6 units= 5 units rounded up 1 unit 6 units Density bonus affordable units required: 1 unit at the low-income level. 2. Density Bonus Compliance Forms. When a development permit application proposed under Government Code §65915 (state density bonus law) includes the demolition of a residential unit, the applicant will need to submit Housing Declarations (Form P-38, Part A and Part B) as part of the application. Part C of this form is to be completed only if required based on the responses to Part A. Where a density bonus project proposes to demolish existing housing, or where rental housing existed on the site in the past five years, the applicant must comply with the replacement housing requirements in State Density Bonus Law. (Government Code Section 65915(c)(3).) A project is ineligible for a density bonus or "any other incentives or concessions" under State Density Bonus Law unless the applicant conforms with any applicable replacement housing requirements. 3. lnclusionary Requirement. The city's inclusionary housing requirement on this site would be satisfied with the one low-income density bonus unit. 4. Affordable Units. The project will be conditioned to record an Affordable Housing Agreement against the property to restrict the pricing and income level of occupants of the low-income unit. Building Division (Mike Strong): 1. The California Building Standards Commission approves and adopts building standards. Every three years, the Commission, in coordination with relevant state agencies, undertakes rulemaking to revise and update the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations). These building codes serve as the basis for the design and construction of buildings in California.
