ISSUES OF CONCERN
No. CDP 96-14 - MARJA ACRES PCS FACILITY
Planning:
1. Please remove the previously applied "City of Carlsbad Planning Commission"
approving stamp from all sheets (T-1, A-1, A-2, and A-3). This information was
placed on the plans for the previous project approvals.
2. The legend on Sheet C-1 should be corrected to reflect the patterns and slope areas
actually used on the slope analysis map. Currently the pattern shown in the legend
for category "2" slopes (15-25% slopes) is not used on the map at all. The legend
pattern for category "3" (25-40% slopes) is used on the map for category "2"
slopes. The pattern for shown for category "4" (0-15% slopes) is actually used on
the map for category an area containing little or no slope. And, the pattern used on
the map for category "3" slopes does not appear in the legend at all.
3. Please place the current project application number (CDP 96-14) in the upper right
hand corner of the plan sheets.
4. As you are aware, the Coastal Development Permit Submittal Checklist lists several
submittal requirements for the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone and the Coastal
Resource Protection Overlay Zone. Staff has already determined that the project
site does not contain protected agricultural lands. Under the Coastal Resource
Protection Overlay Zone category, Item 1 (slope analysis/mapping has already been
provided. Items 2 and 3 (topographic and vegetation mapping/analysis and
topographic, drainage and wetland mapping for specific lagoon areas) do not apply
to this project site and so are not required. Items 4 (drainage study for projects
located along El Camino Real immediately upstream of existing storm drains), 5
(geologic report addressing landslides and slope stability), and 6 (geologic report
addressing land slides and seismic hazards) do apply to this project and must be
submitted for review. However, due to the relatively minor nature of the proposed
project, staff believes that these items may be addressed in a relatively short report
(e.g., a 1-4 page letter) prepared pursuant to the referenced Code sections by a
certified engineer. (Staff has included a copy of the relevant Coastal Zone
regulations sections for your use.)
Based upon our telephone discussion of the grading amounts, depths, etc., for the
project, staff believes the project is not likely to require a grading permit. However,
it would be helpful to have on the plans more details about the grading information
we discussed in our telephone conversation (e.g., expected excavation vertical
depth, etc.). (The information items we discussed are shown on the "Grading"
information sheet enclosed.)
Engineering:
1. Verification of existing easements should be shown.
2. The circulation should remain unaffected.
3. Show specific information regarding existing and proposed grading or drainage of
the entire site and how this project will affect it.
4. All proposed utility lines must be underground.
5. Will this facility interfere with the other proposed PCS facility on this same site?
6. Identify grading quantities (i.e., cut/fill, import/export) associated with the cabinet
construction and placement of the conduit.
7. Indicate any and all easements and encumbrances for this property on the site plan,
in accordance with the Preliminary Title Report (PR) (i.e., PR Items No.'s 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 9 & 11.) Indicate the future disposition of all easements and encumbrances. If
an easement or encumbrance is not applicable then state this on the site plan.
8. Add CUP 96-05 to the Site Plan.
9. Sheet A-1 indicates: "Electric & Telephone from this pole to zBTS." City policy is
to underground all new utility lines. Can this facility be installed underground or is
this a "lead-in" line that must be above ground? Supply documentation on this issue
from the applicable utilities.
