LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED
TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION
Planning:
1. 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.

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.
