Re: Substantial Conformance Exhibit for CDP 00-50
Hello Michael,
Please find attached a Substantial Conformance exhibit for a single family home
on Ocean. The changes shown are a result of a Coastal Commission appeal. A
cover letter from the applicant is attached detailing the changes. I have reviewed
this submittal with my team and we believe it meets the Substantial Conformance
guidelines.
There are no changes to the exterior appearance of the structure itself.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Re: NOTIFICATION OF APPEAL NO. A-6-CII-01 -020
Dear Bill:
The following is in regard to the Coastal Commission Notification of Appeal, No. A-6-CII-
01-020, the Quirk Residence.
In your letter, you state that the proposed concrete deck, planter, stairs and equipment
room appear to be inconsistent with the certified LCP, in that these improvements are
"more permanent" and require more than "minimum grading".
The existing concrete patio extends beyond the string line for adjacent patio structures.
The proposed concrete patio is properly sighted eastward of the string line, helps to
improve drainage and utilizes an area that is already developed with a concrete patio.
Additionally, the proposed project utilizes unique landscaping and rock features to
create a more natural transition from the beach to the bluff, helping to reduce the visual
impact of the project, especially when compared to the existing structure. Similar
improvements have been approved on Ocean Street and in other areas of the Coastal
Commission's Appeal area. The entire project proposes only 40 cubic yards of
balanced grading, which was considered by the City to be the minimum required. No
numerical standard or definition of "minimum necessary grading" is provided.
With regard to the proposed crawl-space/equipment room located underneath the
concrete deck, no usable floor space is created and the equipment is placed behind the
structural string line setback. The open area created below the concrete deck is not
habitable or finished. Because the proposed two story structure replaces a three story
structure, the raised concrete deck combined with landscaping and rock features allows
the applicant to remove an entire story and therefore reduce the visible impact of the
project while avoiding any unnecessary grading to adjust the pad height to
accommodate the area of development that was previously the lower level of the
existing structure.
An issue was raised concerning the City's string line setback measurement. According
to the Notification of Appeal, the string line is to be measured from the "adjacent corner
of the structures to the north and the south". This interpretation is inconsistent with
other previously approved projects where the string line was measured from the
westernmost extent of similar structures.
1635 Faraday Avenue • Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 • (760) 602-4600 • FAX (760) 602-8559 • www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us
NOTICATION OF APPB^L NO. A-6-CII-01-020
February 20, 2001
Page 2
Section 21.204.050 states that the string line is a line drawn between "the adjacent
structure to the north or south". Utilizing the string line definition offered by the Appeal
letter would mean that in buildings that incorporate offset planes, the string line would
be measured from the plane furthest from the ocean, despite the fact that the main bulk
of the building may be located considerably westward.
In the case of the Quirk Residence, the rear elevation of the northern structure includes
two separate building planes, which are separated by seven feet in depth (please see
attached site plan section). The longest of the two rear building planes is located further
west than the shorter plane. In order to meet the goal of preventing development from
locating further seaward than adjacent structures and encourage building articulation, it
seems the most reasonable action is to measure the string line from the main bulk of
the structure, not from minor architectural relief features.
Additionally, the Appeal letter incorrectly asserts that the string line setback utilized by
the City of Carlsbad allows the proposed structure to protrude seven feet seaward of the
Coastal Commission interpreted string line. Even if the Coastal Commission's most
recent interpretation of the string line setback is utilized, the proposed structure extends
only three feet, not seven feet, beyond. Please find attached a copy of the site plan,
which illustrates both the Coastal Commission and City's string line interpretation.
The Appeals letter states the City failed to address the relationship of improvements to
the mean high tide line. The site plan shows the mean high tide line and the location of
the 500-year flood plain. Similar projects have already been approved on Ocean Street
and in other parts of the Coastal Commission Appeals area which have not utilized a
beach profile when the development proposed was outside of the flood plain and
located so far from the mean high tide line. However, should the applicant decide to
pursue this appeal, the City will incorporate a beach profile, provided by the applicant,
into the project analysis. This is also true of the concerns raised in the Appeal letter
regarding the geotechnical report, which if revised and meets Coastal Commission
requirements, will be incorporated into the project analysis.
With regard to the Coastal Commission's requirement of a lateral access easement,
deed restriction for a hazardous location and condition to approve public views for
perpetuity, the City will record these agreements should the applicant choose to pursue
the appeal. With regard to the request to preserve public views for perpetuity, similar
projects on Ocean Street and in other areas of the Coastal Commission Appeals area
have not been required to incorporate such a condition. Please forward the appropriate
language and/or guidelines, so that we may draft the appropriate condition (i.e. view
fences, no fences, no landscaping, etc.).
Finally, regarding the issue of complying with the City's "Storm Water Management and
Discharge Control" Ordinance, your letter indicates that the project' s "quality of runoff1
was not addressed by the applicant or City. This issue was not addressed since
foundation drains and landscape irrigation, the two main contributaries to runoff on the
property, are not considered source pollutants per the Ordinance. These listed
exemptions also apply under the newly adopted "California Regional Water Quality
NOTICATION OF APPEAL NO. A-6-CII-01-020
February 20, 2001
Page 3
Control Board San Diego Region Tentative Order No. 2001-01". Even if these
discharges were considered pollutants, there would be little to no increase in discharged
pollutants jn runoff since the existing project site design and drainage patterns are
nearly identical to the proposed project.
If you have any questions or require further information, please call me at 760-602-
4625.
Sincerely,
PAUL GODWIN

Re: Coastal Development Pennif Appeal #A-6-CE-01-20 (Quirk)
Dear Mr. Thoryk:
This letter is in regards to the Commission appeal that was filed on the Quirk proposal on
January 24,2001. Commission staff has requested the City of Carlsbad to forward the
project file within 5 days as is required when a local permit decision is appealed to the
Commission.
However, based on a preliminary review of some file materials given to us by the City
and discussions with City staff, additional information will be required for staff to make a
recommendation; on the de novo review of the project. It would be preferable to have the
information described below prior to staffs recommendation on the substantial issue
portion of the appeal; however, in any case, the information will be required before a de
novo review of the project can be scheduled for public hearing.
The Commission's concern regarding the proposed residential project is that the subject
area is known to be subject to hazards from wave action, and the proposed residence and
associated improvements, because they are seaward of existing improvements, could
result in the need to construct new shoreline protection on the site.
Additionally, there appears to be existing riprap on the subject site and possibly a
retaining wall or seawall that is located at the toe of the bluff across the width of the
property. The City's approval was silent on the riprap and wall. I have been unable to
find any evidence that the existing riprap or retaining wall on the subject site was placed
under an approved coastal development permit. Therefore, based on existing information
provided to us, we are unable to determine the extent of shoreline protection on the site.
The City's approval failed to address the relationship of the existing and proposed
improvements to the mean high tide line by requiring a current beach profile. Although
the City acknowledged public use of the beach inland of the mean high tide line, the
certified LCP requires that "development shall be sited and designed in a manner which
does not interfere or diminish the potential public rights based on historic public use"
(Section 2l.204.070(A) 1 of the certified Coastal Shoreline Overlay Zone). The City did
not require a study that determined where the proposed improvements were in relation to
the mean high tide line and how access would be affected by such improvements. By

failing to acknowledge that lateral access opportunities exist on the site, the City failed to
require a condition which would assure that public access would be protected as required
in Section 21. 204.060.
Therefore, the following information is required before the appeal can be scheduled for
public hearing:
• Plans documenting the length, width, and seaward extent of the toe of the existing rip
rap and retaining wall (including any buried portion) relative to a fixed reference
point such as a surveyed property line or street monument, and showing whether any
portion of shoreline protection is on public property. Plans should include a beach
profile and topographic survey of the entire site with cross-sections that shows the
configuration of the existing rock in relation to the western property line and the
current level of beach sand to determine the of visible rock and the toe of buried rock.
• An analysis of the proposed project's ability to withstand hazards from wave runup.
• A history of the riprap and retaining wall indicating when they were placed, what
function they provide and copies of any permits allowing their placement.
Please provide two copies of the information so that we can forward one copy to our
coastal engineer. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
ill Ponder

COMPLETENESS REVIEW
PROJECT ID: CDP 00-50/V 00-401
The Engineering Department has completed its review of the above referenced project.
Engineering staff does have a couple of outstanding issues that still need to be addressed.
1. The depth of the carport is inadequate. The shortest distance between the wall of the
carport and the public right-of-way boundary is 15 feet. At this depth, many vehicles
would encroach into the public right-of-way when parked. Increase this distance to at
least 18 feet; preferably 20 feet. This measurement will be taken where the distance is
shortest.
2. The variance to allow the driveway widths to exceed the standard cannot be supported
under the proposed design. The driveway widths could, however, be supported if the
carport were relocated next to the proposed garage and shared a common wall. By
relocating the carport here and maintaining the same width as currently proposed, 18
feet of space would exist between the carport and the neighbor's garage, thereby
providing adequate space available for one vehicle to park on the street. Please
revise the plans to either relocate the carport as described or remove the carport
entirely.
Once the above issues are resolved, please add the following conditions of approval to the
approving resolution:
Unless specifically stated in the condition, all of the following conditions, upon the approval of
this proposed coastal development permit, must be met prior to approval of a building permit.
1. Prior to hauling dirt or construction materials to or from any proposed construction site
within this project, Developer shall apply for and obtain approval from, the City Engineer
for the proposed haul route.
2. Developer shall cause property owner to execute and submit to the City Engineer for
recordation the City's standard form Drainage Hold Harmless Agreement regarding
drainage across the adjacent property.
H:\LIBRARY\ENG\WPDATA\MISC\COMPREV
Developer shall cause property owner to enter into a "Neighborhood Improvement
Agreement" with the City for the future public improvement of paving, base, sidewalks,
curbs and gutters, undergrounding or relocation of utilities, and street lights prior to the
issuance of building permit. If you or the applicant has any questions regarding the

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site consists of a rectangular shaped lot. The lot lies along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. The
property is located to the southwest of the southern end of Ocean Street in Carlsbad, California. The lot is
bordered by Ocean Street to the northeast, by similar residential properties to the northwest and southeast and by
the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. Existing improvements on the lot include a single family home with attached
garages which has been sub-divided and is currently being utilized as numerous vacation rental properties. Other
improvements on the lot primarily include concrete patios and walkways. The foundation for the exiting
residence appears to primarily include a slab-on-grade with continuous footings in the front with a small portion
of the residence possibly being a raised wood floor foundation with a subfloor crawlspace. The residence
appears to be of typical wood-frame construction. It was not determined as part of this investigation when the
residence was originally constructed.
The lot's topography is gently sloping down from the front to back (northeastern to southwestern) direction. It is
estimated that the total relief across the lot is on the order of 20 to 25 feet. It appears that little grading took
place during construction of the existing improvements. The general configuration of the site is presented on
Figure 1.

3.0 GEOLOGY
3.1 GEOLOGIC SETTING
The property is located geomorphically within the Peninsular Range Province. The Peninsular Ranges extend
north to the Los Angeles Basin and south to the tip of the Baja Peninsula. The Peninsular Ranges consist of a
series of northwest to the southeast trending blocks separated by paralleling faults. Topographic relief reaches a
maximum of 10,000 feet at San Jacinto Peak. Rock units ranging from Paleozoic to Quaternary in age can be
found in the province. Extensive Cretaceous rocks give way to post-cretaceous marine, and non-marine, and
volcanic deposits near the coastline. Within the province, drainage is provided by the San Diego, San Luis Rey,
Santa Margarita, and San Diequito Rivers.
Local topography is characterized by the gently west sloping terrain consisting of shoreline deposits giving way
to more elevated and more resistant Quaternary terrace deposits and Tertiary near shore and lagoonal deposits to
the east.
3.2 SITE SPECIFIC GEOLOGY
The site is situated at the coastal section of northern San Diego County, just south of Buena Vista Lagoon. The
site is specifically located on the beach and adjacent shoreline bluff in Carlsbad at the west terminus of Carlsbad
Village Drive. The west portion of the lot consists of a relatively flat sandy beach and the east portion of the lot,
containing the four (4) unit rental property, is an elevated bluff consisting of young terrace deposits. The local
area supports lithologies ranging from Tertiary, near shore to lagoonal, transgressive and regressive sequences to
Recent Artificial Fill and Holocene Beach deposits. According to F. Harold Weber (1982), the site is underlain
by Quaternary shoreline deposits. Holocene Beach deposits are found on the west portion of the property and
Pleistocene Terrace Deposits are found to the east of the bluff. The Pleistocene Terrace Deposits are
characterized as a light brown to orange, medium to coarse grained, massive to thinly laminated, poorly cemented
sandstone deposit with occasional beach sand interbeds. The Quaternary terrace deposits transgress rapidly into
Holocene Beach Deposits approximately at the east edge of the rear (lower) patio. The Beach Deposits consist
primarily of sand, with minor amounts of silt and clay and occasional shell fragments. Shallow fill soils were
found to consist primarily of silty sand and ranged from loose to moderately dense.
Structurally, the site is resting on a generally stable, gently southwest dipping shoreline platform. A secondary
terrace deposit of slightly older age creates a ridge just east of 1-5. No mapped landslides exist within the
immediate area of the site.
The site is mapped by Tan and Giffen(1995) as being within Zone 4.1, which is defined as an area "most
susceptible" to landsliding. Coastal bluff erosion and urban runoff can create unstable slopes in an active
shoreline environment. The structure has been in-place for many years, providing an indication of relatively
stable slope conditions, however, periods of high tides and strong winter storms can rapidly change coastal
geography. During our investigation, no signs of slope instability were observed at the site.

3.3 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was encountered at a depth of approximately 12 feet in the western most of our excavations. This
groundwater should not be a factor in the development proposed. However, groundwater may be a factor in the
construction of any deep foundation system and should be considered by the contractor when selecting the
method of construction. It should also be noted that surface or shallow perched groundwater conditions can and
may develop where no such conditions existed previously. This can occur due to changes made to the natural
drainage patterns during development, increased irrigation, heavy rainfall and/or other reasons. Because the
introduction of water is usually the triggering mechanism for most common types of soil problems, it is important
to provide adequate surface drainage for proposed improvement such as retaining walls, foundations and slab
areas and other improvements that could be adversely affected by water. Recommendations for drainage are
provided in section 7.6.
3.4 GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Several geologic hazards have been known to exist along the Southern California coastline. These hazards
generally consist of landsliding, the possibility of tsunamis immediately along the coastline and ground shaking
due to earthquakes. Landsliding is not considered to be a factor in the proposed development and the possibility
for occurrence after construction is considered negligible because of the relatively competent materials
underlying the site. Given the close proximity of this site to the coastline a tsunami could impact the site if one
were to occur. Finally, the presence of beach sand and groundwater in the western portion of the lot indicates this
area would likely be susceptible to liquefaction should an earthquake occur.
The most likely geologic hazard to affect the site would be ground shaking in the event of an earthquake. The
nearest active fault to the site is the Rose Canyon Fault Zone. The fault is found to extend from Downtown San
Diego in a north direction, roughly paralleling 1-5, until the fault bends westward through La Jolla before heading
offshore and continuing north up the coastline. The offshore segment of the Rose Canyon is approximately 2.5
miles west of the site. The maximum probable magnitude earthquake estimated for the Rose Canyon fault is a
(M) 6.0. Additionally, the site lies approximately 1.75 miles northwest of a small unnamed fault segment
exposed on the north side of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. If a significant earthquake were to occur near the site,
considerable ground shaking could occur. Comparatively, any residence within Southern California, in close
proximity to a significant earthquake event, could be expected to experience seismic induced damage. The
following table illustrates the characteristics of ground shaking estimated for the site from various nearby faults
using an attenuation relationship provided by Campbell generated by EQFAULT 2.0 (Blake 1988-1993):

3.5 SEISMICITY AND SEISMIC RISK
Our historical search indicates that approximately 114 events have occurred within a 50 mile radius of the site
with magnitudes (M) between 4.0 and 9.0, within the last 100 years. The largest event recorded within that time
frame was a (M) 6.8 earthquake, approximately 46 miles from the site, which produced a site acceleration of
about 0.03g.
Even if the structural engineer provides designs in accordance with applicable codes for seismic design, the
possibility of damage occurring cannot be ruled out in the event of a large earthquake near the site. This is the
case for essentially all homes in Southern California. The structures should be designed in accordance with the
latest UBC criteria for seismic design. The site area should be categorized as a Seismic Zone 4.

4.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
The subsurface exploration consisted of two hand-excavated test pits. The approximate locations of the
excavations are depicted on Figure 1. The purpose of the excavations was to delineate the subsurface conditions
in the area of the proposed improvements. All excavations were logged by a geologist from our firm who also
obtained soil samples for laboratory testing. Additionally, each excavation was backfilled upon completion.
The test excavations revealed variable subsurface conditions. AGTP-1 revealed fine to coarse grained beach
sands. Variable moisture was also encountered with depth and the sands were found to become dense with depth.
Water was encountered in this excavation at a depth of approximately 12 feet. In AGTP-2 approximately 2.4 feet
of fill was encountered. This fill was described as fine to medium grained sands, being slightly moist and loose
to medium dense. Terrace sands were encountered below the fill. These were described as fine to medium
grained sands, being slightly moist and medium dense to dense. Groundwater was encountered in AGTP-1 at a
depth of approximately 12 feet and was not encountered in AGTP-2. Detailed logs of these excavations are
presented in Appendix B of this report.

5.0 LABORATORY TESTING
A laboratory testing program was developed for the soil samples recovered during the subsurface exploration.
The program was designed to estimate soil properties for use in engineering evaluations. The laboratory testing
included field moisture and density, maximum density, hydro-response and direct shear testing. A summary of
the laboratory test results is presented in Appendix C.
In general, the results of the laboratory testing indicated the soil at the site above the water table possessed fairly
low moisture contents and correspondingly low levels of saturation. Additionally, the site soil was found to
possess a moderate potential for collapse with the addition of water. Given the relatively cohesionless nature of
the soil and the sampling process, a portion of the collapse potential determined through testing could be due to
sample disturbance.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the results of our geotechnical investigation at the subject site, no geotechnical conditions were
encountered which would preclude the proposed improvements, provided the following conclusions and
recommendations are incorporated into the project plans and specifications. Foundation recommendations have
been provided to help reduce the potential for problems associated with the soil conditions encountered. The
actual recommendations are discussed in detail in the following sections.
Based on the results of our subsurface exploration it appears as if the rear portion of the lot is comprised
primarily of beach sands overlying more competent material at depth. In it's present state this beach sand
material is not considered suitable for support of the proposed structure. This unsuitable material extends to
depths exceeding 12 feet near the outer edge of the proposed residence. Near the rear of the existing residence
competent terrace deposits were encountered at a relatively shallow depth. As such, it anticipated that a majority
of the existing residence is founded in competent terrace deposits. Considering this, it should be anticipated that
proposed construction extending out past the rear of the existing residence will need to have a foundation system
deepened to competent formational soil.
If the recommendations herein are followed, it is anticipated that tolerable levels of soil related movement can be
expected for the proposed structures.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 GENERAL
Conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on information provided, information
gathered, laboratory testing, engineering and geologic evaluations, experience and professional judgment.
Recommendations contained herein are consistent with current industry practices. Other alternatives exist and
can be discussed on request. Regardless of the approach taken, some risk will remain, as is always the case. The
recommendations and design parameters presented below should be utilized by the design civil/structural
engineer for the design of foundations. Once plans have been developed, they should be forwarded to this office
for review and comment.
7.2 EARTHWORK AND SITE PREPARATION
Given the improvements proposed and the configuration of the lot, it is anticipated that little grading will be
necessary as part of improvements at the site. If any grading is necessary, it would be anticipated that it would be
primarily for access, to remove and recompact any loose near surface material, or to remove and recompact any
material disturbed during the demolition process.
Prior to any grading, the site should be cleared of all surface and subsurface obstructions including things such as
debris, buried utilities, existing improvements and should be stripped of vegetation. Vegetation, debris and
demolition material should be disposed of off-site. Any holes or excavations made which extend below the
finished grade should be filled with compacted soil.
7.2.1 CUTS AND EXCAVATIONS
It is not anticipated that extensive cuts or excavations will be conducted during the construction of site
improvements. However, if any removals or excavations are required they should not be conducted at angles of
inclination of steeper than 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) without additional analysis and input by the geotechnical
consultant. Additionally, no excavation or cut should be deeper than five (5) feet without additional analysis and
recommendations by the geotechnical consultant.
7.2.2 FILLS
Our investigation did not indicate the presence of expansive soils within the subject lot. If expansive soils are
encountered during construction, it is recommended that they not be placed within five (5) feet of finish grade in
the building pad area(s) or beneath appurtenant structures and should be kept a minimum of five (5) feet away
from proposed structures, unless special design considerations are implemented. With this exception, the on-site
soils are generally suitable for use as compacted fill provided they are free of organic material and debris. All
areas planned to receive fills and/or improvements will require removal and recompaction of the loose near
surface soil and/or unsuitable materials. If grading is to be conducted, additional input will be needed from the
geotechnical consultant.
All fill to be placed should be moisture conditioned and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of the maximum
dry density per ASTM D-1557. Fill should be placed in thin, uniform lifts (6 to 8 inches loose thickness). Fills
placed on natural slopes should be keyed and benched into firm, competent material and inspected prior to the
placement of fill. Any permanently graded site slopes should be constructed at inclinations no steeper that 2:1
(horizontal:vertical). The geotechnical consultant should be on-site to test and observe all fills/removals during
grading operations, and also to review footing excavations, cuts, etc.

7.2.3 CUT/FILL TRANSITIONS AND LOT CAPPING
Structures planned should not straddle cut/fill transitions. In order to prevent this, footings for the planned new
residence should be deepened to competent formational soil. This can likely be accomplished with continuous
footings where the existing residence now sits and by a deepened foundation system where the proposed
residence will extend further to the rear than the existing residence.
7.3 FOUNDATION DESIGN PARAMETERS
Based on our subsurface exploration it should be anticipated that the proposed expansion of the building footprint
to the rear of the home be constructed on a deepened foundation system extending to competent formational
materials at depth. Due to the varying depth of competent formational material it may be possible to provide a
combination of continuous footings and piers. The structural engineer may want to consider this possibility in
the design process.
The near surface soil in the area of the proposed addition consisted of a relatively loose, cohesionless beach sand.
As such, this material is not considered suitable for the support of structures without deepened foundations. The
deepened foundations would also provide added protection against possible future erosion of the beach area
which could possibly encroach on the subject property. Additionally, the beach sand below a depth of
approximately 12 feet is considered saturated and could be subject to liquefaction should an earthquake occur.
The portion of the residence to be constructed within the footprint of the existing residence is anticipated to be
sitting on competent terrace deposits and these soil deposits are considered to have a negligible to very low
potential for liquefaction.

* the depth of competent formational soil adjacent the residence is presented, on the logs in Appendix B and the
depth of competent formational soil at the rear of the proposed addition was not determined during our
subsurface exploration but is estimated to be approximately 15 to 20 feet based on experience and observations in
other areas.
Lateral Loading
Lateral loads should be included in the design of piers. The following lateral loading criteria should be
incorporated into the project design:
Active Pressure 30pcf*
At-Rest Pressure 45 pcf*
Passive Pressure 300 pcf**
*To be applied over three (3) pier diameters. This would account for a loss of support on the beach side of the
piers. Additionally, this assumes clean, non-expansive backfill. Other design parameters may need to be
provided at the time of construction if conditions differing from those anticipated are encountered.
**To be applied over two (2) pier diameters. Should be calculated from the ground surface but neglected above
the depth of water which was approximately 12 feet.
Seismic Design Parameters
The following site seismic parameters were determined in accordance with Section 16, Division IV-Earthquake
Design of the Uniform Building Code (1997):
Seismic Zone 4
Seismic Zone Factor (Z) 0.40
Soil Profile Type Sd
Seismic Source Type B
Seismic Coefficient (Ca) 0.44Na
Seismic Coefficient (Cv) 0.64NV
Near Source Factor (Na) 1.15
Near Source Factor (Nv) 1.4
It should be noted that these values are considered "minimum design values" as dictated in the Uniform Building
Code.
7.4 STANDARD FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Actual foundation details should be determined by the designer using the criteria in Section 7.3, however, the
following are presented as a guideline to supplement the design process. These recommendations should not
preclude structural requirements.

SUBJECT: PRE 00-47 - QUIRK RESIDENCE (APN: 203-251-08-00)
A preliminary review of your project was conducted on July 20, 2000. Listed below are the issues
raised by staff. Please note that the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with direction
and comments on the overall concept of your project. The preliminary review does not represent
an in-depth analysis of your project. Additional issues of concern may be raised after your
application is submitted and processed for a more specific and detailed review.
Planning;
1. The following are the land use designations and regulations for the project site:
a. General Plan Designation: Residential High Density (RH 15-23 dwelling units per acre)
b. Growth Control Point: 19 dwelling units per acre
c. Zoning Designation: Multiple-Family Residential Zone (R-3)
d. Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAO)
e. Hillside Development Regulations
f. Mello II Segment of the City of Carlsbad Local Coastal Program (LCP)
g. Local Facilities Management Zone: Zone 1
Copies of the Zoning Ordinance, Municipal Code and other regulations are available at the
Planning Division counter or on the City of Carlsbad's website, www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us.
2. If formally submitted, the proposal would require the following applications, both of which
require Planning Commission approval:
a. A Coastal Development Permit, required for any residential improvement within 50' of the
coastal bluff edge.
b. A Variance to allow for a 0' front yard setback and to allow for a three story structure.
Application packets and fee schedules are available at the Planning Division counter.
3. Building height in the BAO zone is limited to 30 feet and two stories if a minimum roof pitch of
3/12 is provided or a maximum of 24 feet if less than a 3/12 roof pitch is provided. The proposed
flat roof structure is over-height, please reduce height to 24 feet or provide a roof pitch of 3/12 or
greater.

4. It appears that the building height has been measured from the foundation line, not from existing
or finished grade (whichever is more restrictive), as required in section 21.04.65 of the City of
Carlsbad Municipal Code. Please show building heights as directed by the Municipal Code.
5. The BAO zone allows for only two stories. Therefore, it is necessary to either apply for a
variance for a third floor or design the lower level to meet the City of Carlsbad's basement
definition, which requires that at least 75% of the perimeter basement walls be underground.
6. The required front yard setback is 20 feet. No front yard setback is provided for the existing or
proposed structure. Accordingly, a variance is required.
7. The lower level kitchen creates a second unit, which is allowed by the zoning and density.
However, the BAO zone requires two parking spaces per unit, one of which must be covered,
plus one guest space for every two units. Two units would create a need for five parking spaces,
two covered, three uncovered. Please show required parking or eliminate lower level kitchen.
8. Given the existing conditions of the neighborhood, it appears likely that Planning Department
Staff could support the variances required for this project, provided that all other applicable
development standards are met. However, the ultimate decision-making body is the City of
Carlsbad Planning Commission.
Engineering:
1. The property owner will be required to enter into a "Contract to Install Future Public
Improvements". Sidewalk, curb, gutter and half street improvements will be required.
Please contact Paul Godwin at (760) 602-4625 if you have any questions.

COMMENTS / INSTRUCTIONS:
To whom it may concern,
For your review, we are proposing the remodel of 3075 Ocean Street. We have spoken to the planning
department previously and have received direction on many questions regarding the development of
this project, for that we thank you.
Our prime concern is our clients' request of completion by the next end of spring/start of summer.
Having said that we would like to know as soon as possible your preliminary determination.
We are submitting for your preliminary approval of the overall architectural concept being presented.
Here are some points to consider:
Our design will enhance the overall street front by creating a courtyard instead of the existing wall of
garage door and carport.
We are combining min. 3:12 ceramic tile and flat parapet roofs to achieve a contemporary Spanish
design that is keeping with the surrounding neighborhood.
There are no existing view corridors that will be obstructed.
The overall mass in the front and rear are going to be diminished by breaking up the flat elevations that
are currently present and replacing them with elevations that offset substantially from each other.
Decks that are open and not semi-enclosed like the existing decks.
We are keeping at least 50% of the existing walls.
Existing non-conforming conditions are being lessened at front street.(creating courtyard)
Existing building height is kept.
Because of this we feel that we are keeping with in the guidelines set by the planning department for a
building permit.
We hope that you agree.
Sincerely
Luis Quintanar
