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 preliminarv review does not represent an in-depth analvsis of your proiect. Additional issues of concern may be raised after vour application is submitted and processed for a more specific and detailed review. The following comments follow the numbered list of questions that you submitted. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. There are no special front or rear yard setback applicable to this R-I zoned property. The rear setback would not be relevant since the house must be setback from the top of bluff for geotechnical safety. Maximum lot coverage is 40 percent. The Engineering Department would entertain a Future Improvement Agreement for Carlsbad Boulevard however grading preparation of the frontage to the ultimate grade would likely be required. The standard R-1 height maximums, 30 feet to the peak of the roof, would apply to development on this lot. From an Engineering Department perspective, drainage would ideally follow its existing pattern to the greatest extent possible. Should the Coastal Commission refuse to allow drainage to travel westward, the Engineering Department would be willing to explore alternatives, including pumping to Carlsbad Boulevard. The amount of bluff setback will be based upon geotechnical investigations and should be in accordance with the Coastal Commission's Geologic Stability and Blufftop Guidelines. Allowed uses within that setback cannot be fully determined before the geotechnical investigations are reviewed. It is 2075 Las Palmas Dr. 0 Carlsbad, CA 92009-1 576 (61 9) 438-11 61 - FAX (61 9) 438-0894 @ RICHARDS RESIDENCE SEPTEMBER 3,1996 PAGE 2 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. likely that no structures, including pools, would be allowed. Perimeter fencing would likely be allowed. Attached is a copy of the Grading Ordinance. Generally, excavations exceeding four feet in depth, fills exceeding three feet in depth, or cut and fill exceeding 100 cubic yards per each 8,000 square feet of graded area require permits. If the only grading required is for building foundation preparation, and the building pad is not lowered four feet or raised three feet, no grading permit should be required. The development fees for a 5,000 square foot house with a 400 square foot garage were transmitted to you at the meeting of August 29, 1996 with Mike Grim of the Planning Department. The proposed development will be located on top of the slope and therefore out of the Coastal High Hazard area as defined by Section 21.1 10.050 of the Zoning Ordinance. No Special Use Permit would be required. A Hillside Development Permit is only required when there exists a 15 foot elevation difference and a 15% grade over the area proposed for development. According to the submitted topographical information, the portion of the site on top of the bluff does not meet these criteria. Since no development is proposed on the bluff face, no Hillside Development Permit should be required. Topographical information will be confirmed upon application for grading or building permit. Development of a single family home on the property will require the payment of an inclusionary housing impact fee. The current fee amount is $2,925.00 per dwelling unit. 1 1 /I 5. The Mello II LCP - Geologic, Floodplain and Shoreline Hazard Areas section is attached for reference. 12/14. Shoreline access requirements would be a function of historic and current access routes. Should the property to the south develop a coastal access stairway, the responsibility for the subject property to provide access might be relieved. It is recommended that you consult the Coastal Commission regarding potential shoreline access issues. 13. Soil erosion and sediment control are regulated through the Grading Ordinance or through building permit inspections. RICHARDS RESIDENCE, SEPTEMBER 3,1996 PAGE 3 16. The copy of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone that you submitted to Mike Grim of the Planning Department is not applicable to your development. Upon effective certification of the Carlsbad LCP, there will be Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay restrictions in the implementing ordinances. A copy of this document is attached. 17. No sand replenishment programs that would assess coastal properties or otherwise require contributions are in place or planned. Please contact Mike Grim at (61 9) 438-1 161, extension 4499 if you have any questions.
