HOLZMILLER Planning Director MJH: EM:vd C: Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director Robert Green, Principal Planner Frank Jimeno, Project Enginee Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide Bob Ladwig Ladwig Design Group @ 2075 Las Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 (619) 438-1161 - FAX (619) 438-0894 .- LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION NO. CDP 97-32 Planning: face drain pipe is considered deve 1. Bluff face L, ainage and the proposed blu opment in the coastal zone. Specifically, it is development on the slope/hillside portion of the lot and therefore requires a Hillside Development Permit; it is also development within the Coastal High Hazard Area and therefore requires a Special Use Permit. To make this aDDlication comdete, an amlication submittal deemed complete for a SDecial Use Permit (SUP) and Hillside DeveloDment Permit (HDP) is required. The City has 30 days after the initial submittal to determine completeness. Removing drainage flow down the bluff face would eliminate the need for a SUP or HDP. Staff recommends exploring drainage alternatives such as pumping to Carlsbad Boulevard in addition to consulting with the Coastal Commission staff since the subject project site is located in the Coastal appeal area. An approval by the City of the CDP may be appealed by the Coastal Commission. 2. To show the project does not encroach into the Coastal Commission's permit jurisdiction area, plot the location of mean high tide on the subject lot. Engineering: 1. Provide more complete and precise topographical information for the site, particularly the bluff top vicinity. Topographical information must be detailed enough to reflect the existing drainage pattern as well as clearly identifying the bluff top edge. The bluff top edge must clearly be shown for the subject lot as well as the lots to the north and south because of the eastward curve in the bluff in this area. This information will allow continued review of the drainage and bluff top setback issues. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. Blufftot, setback: This is a project issue that will be further reviewed. In addition to Engineering Department's continued review of available geotechnical data and reports, re-draw the structural setback string line so that it is parallel to the bluff edge. Due to the curve of the bluff, a linear extension of the string line based on the structure to the north with no adjustment for the bluff's orientation is of no use. The setback will be based on the stringline and/or the geotechnical analysis based on further review with the Engineering Department. 2. Buildinn height comdiance: Allow for clear demonstration of building height compliance via project exhibits and the use of cross sections and spot elevations on the rooftops and peaks. Building height is measured from finished or existing grade (show both on all cross sections). Compliance with the 30 foot/2 story height limit is required at all points along the building perimeter and within all points of building coverage. 3. BlufftoD/bluff face drainaae: This is a project issue that will be further reviewed. 4. Blufftop aradinq: Blufftop grading or modification will not be allowed. Using more detailed topographical information per Engineering Incomplete item #I above, this issue will be further reviewed. 5. Confirm that City right of way is shown properly; see Engineering comment #4. Landscaping may not be allowed in City right of way. 6. Six foot fence shown protruding into front yard setback area; 42 inches is allowed maximum height for any retaining walls or fences in the front yard setback area. 7. South side roof projection can only exceed 2 feet into the side yard setback area. Engineering: 1. Indicate height of wave run-up. 2. Provide a title report to review on-site easements. 3. Proposed off-site grading requires agreement letter from adjacent property owner. 4. Consult with Engineering staff to verify final future Carlsbad Boulevard alignment/final improved typical section as it relates to the access driveway design.
