On constraints map, please indicate those views of the project site occurring from properties located to the east , namely Harbor Pointe and SeaCliff. 2. Site plans should include a note on the commercial site that this area will be developed at a future time as a Site Development Plan. 3. Indicate the projected traffic counts expected for the commercial site. 4. Provide a plotting analysis indicating building footprints, setbacks, 15’ x 15’ required rear yard, and lot dimensions. 5. Provide lot coverage for each lot. Engineering: Engineering items will follow at a later date. ISSUES OF CONCERN s Planning: 1. Staff would like to reserve review of the proposed architectural elevations until we have the opportunity to view the project in Orange County which appears to provide more architectural plane variety. A “streetscene” type of elevation might better convey the overall appearance of the project. Please indicate which of the three architectural styles from the specific plan you have selected and provide detailing accordingly. 2. Please lower proposed grade elevations along Carlsbad Boulevard to the minimum necessary to achieve gravity flow sewer and drainage to existing facilities. Retaining walls along railroad are very high; lower walls to reflect revised grades. Provide cross-section of fence above wall. How are visual impacts from railroad proposed to be mitigated? 3. Provide documentation demonstrating compliance with small lot architectural guidelines. Proposed designs do not appear to comply. 4. When landscape plans area submitted, ensure that 75% of all trees on site are canopy type species. Eucalyptus and similar tall, vertical trees should not be included. Provide two street trees per home. Please provide data on plan indicating average mature tree height. 5. increase parkway width to four feet minimum and plant one street tree per home in the parkway. 6. Please indicate how the required 15’ x 15’ rear yard requirement will be met. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Introduce more canopy trees on Lots 1 16 and 1 17 to provide shade opportunities Provide more small concrete tables (or alternatives) with benches on Open Space Lots. Small and more tables are preferable to larger and fewer and fewer tables. Group tables and benches into conversation areas rather than a linear alignment. Provide moveable tables and benches in gazebo area. Add two more benches at basketball half-court. Create more of a conversation area at the fountain on Lot 115. Include “rough timber” or an alternative type of large play equipment for children. Expand size of overhead entry trellises to a minimum of 10’ x 6’. Provide a few benches near horseshoe area. Provide benches facing sand volleyball court. Provide benches in parkways. Reduce size of entry sign to a more pedestrian scale. The scale of the interior portion of the sign is more in scale to a pedestrian-oriented residential development. Tabulate required guest parking and number on site plan. How will maintenance of garage walls be provided in 0’ lot line situations? Indicate a parking/circulation plan for the RV area, the required number of spaces and how these will be provided. Provide a cross section from east to west at three locations on the site including the eastern retaining walls and the 40’ open space area and wall along Carlsbad Boulevard. Please provide berm where possible to reduce the visual impacts of the wall heights. Council mentioned that they would like to see a 50/50 wall/berm combination. Indicate how the visual impacts of the wall will be mitigated and include wall designs and materials samples. Include design details and locations of any access gates. Fencing plan on this site must be compatible with fencing on Planning Area 8. Please indicate how this will be ensured. Illustrate trail connection at northeast corner of PA 8 and how your trail will connect with a connection at the Railroad R-O-W Provide in tabular form the percentage of homes which will have front porches or second story balconies facing the street. Also include in tabular format how a 15’ ft average will be provide by calculating the closest point of the structure (not including porch) to the front property line on each lot and calculating the average on a project level basis.
