Please contact your staff planner, Anne Hysong, at (760) 43 8- 116 1, extension 4477, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application. Sincerely, Planning Director MJH: AH:nm c: Gary Wayne Dee Landers Ken Quon Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide 2075 Las Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 l (760) 438-11610 FAX (760) 438-0894 ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. 2. 3. 4. The proposed project is subject to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requiring that 15% of the total number of units proposed, or 2.47 units, be provided as affordable housing. This project is therefore required to submit a site development plan identifying the project’s affordable housing proposal. The City does not have an established program through which affordable housing fees can be paid for this size project and there are no combined inclusionary housing projects currently constructed in the northwest quadrant from which affordable housing credits could be purchased; therefore, the project’s affordable housing requirement should be provided onsite. One possible solution for this project would be to propose second dwelling units. The site development plan would have to specify the lots proposed for second dwelling units and include conceptual building footprints on each lot along with conceptual floor plans and elevations of a single family structure with a second dwelling unit. The purpose of this “prototypical” plan is to illustrate that these lots can accommodate second dwelling units in accordance with the development standards required by the second dwelling unit ordinance (see attached ordinance). NOTE: The Planning Department is unable to support this project without an acceptable affordable housing proposal. The site development plan must be submitted in the next 30 days to enable environmental review of this proposal. Please show the front yard setbacks (20’) from front property line on each lot. Also, please show the wall heights of existing retaining walls on Lot 9 and lighten the building footprint of the existing residence and garage. No walls or fences exceeding 42’ are permitted in the front yard setback. The western property lines of Lots 1 - 3 are located at the toe of the slope. It is the City’s policy that property lines be located at the top of slope to avoid unmaintained slopes, i.e., fences placed at the top of slope . Please create lots that are -approximately level with the adjacent development. Under “Development Notes”, item no. 8, please delete 3.64 du/net ac.. Density is calculated for this project based on total acreage since Park Drive and onsite streets are not deducted from the gross acreage for the purpose of calculating density. Engineering: 1. A hydraulic analysis is required to demonstrate that the proposed drainage facilities are adequately sized. 2. The brow ditch proposed to be located behind lots 1 O-14 does not meet City standards with regards to lot drainage. City standards require that these pads be graded so that drainage of each lot is directed towards Monroe Street. C 3. The brow ditches proposed for lots 3,4 and 5 should be designed so that each of these lots conveys drainage independent of each other. We suggest relocating the brow ditch along lot 3 to be along lot 4; and modifying the brow ditches on lots 4 and 5 so that they carry drainage from their own respective areas. 4. Please note that the City’s Master Drainage Plan indicates the need for a 24” storm drain on the stretch of Park Drive from Monroe Street to Tamarack Avenue, and then west on Tamarack Avenue where it will join an existing drainage facility. This project is required to install this storm drain, along with a reimbursement agreement for the offsite portion. The City may be willing to provide fee credits to offset the costs of these improvements. An option is for this project to contain onsite mitigation so that the project storm runoff is equal to the current rate of runoff, and downstream flow is not increased. Attached is a redlined check print set of the project. Please return this plan set with the corrected plans to assist us in our continued review.
