The Planning Department has reviewed your tentative map, condominium permit, coastal development permit, and hillside development permit, application nos.

The first list is information which must be submitted to complete your application. This list of items must be submitted directly to your staff planner by appointment. All list items must be submitted simultaneously and a copy of this list must be included with your submittals. No processing of your application can occur until the application is determined to be complete. The second list is issues of concern to staff. When all required materials are submitted the City has 30 days to make a determination of completeness. If the application is determined to be complete, processing for a decision on the application will be initiated. In addition, please note that you have six months from the date the application was initially filed, February 27, 1998, to either resubmit the application or submit the required information. Failure to resubmit the application or to submit the materials necessary to determine your application complete shall be deemed to constitute withdrawal of the application. If an application is withdrawn or deemed withdrawn, a new application must be submitted. Please contact your staff planner, Anne Hysong, at (760) 438-l 161, extension 4477, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application. Sincerely, Planning Director MJH:AH:mh c: Gary Wayne Adrienne Landers Clyde Wickham Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide Stan Weiler, Hofman Planning 2075 La Palmas Dr. l Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 - (760) 438-l 161 * FAX (760) 438-0894 .- LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION No. CT 98-06KP 98-O/CDP 98-27/HDP 98-04 - PLANNING AREA C Planning: 1. In accordance with the attached information sheet, please submit the slope analysis in which onsite slope gradients are identified as required for Hillside Development review. 2. As required by the Master Plan, please provide a table identifying the percentage of units proposed with 5’ setbacks, 10’ setbacks, and 20’ setbacks that shows conformance to the percentages permitted for Area C. Also, please provide the location and area of common passive recreation required by the Planned Development Ordinance. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Please remove the substantial conformance signature block from the tentative map to avoid confusion. Please draw lot lines so that they are legible and clearly distinguishable. Visitor parking shown at the end of the cul-de-sac appears to be a part of Lots 18 and 19 which are residential lots rather than common area. The recently adopted Hillside Ordinance amendment limits the use of retaining walls in developments proposing uphill manufactured slopes along the project perimeter exceeding 40% and 15’ in height to a single 6’ retaining wall. The proposed retaining walls do not conform with this standard and appear excessive at some locations. A related issue to the use of walls is that it should not be necessary to raise the pad grade up to 13’ above existing grade (see section C-C on Sheet 3 of 4). Please redesign so that pad grades are more consistent with existing grade and eliminate one set of walls where possible. This may be accomplished by increasing wall heights adjacent to l-5 and/or replacing walls with slopes. Wall designs should incorporate the use of natural appearing rock to mitigate the appearance of excessive hardscape. The proposed design at the corner of Windrose Circle and Avenida Encinas would result in two 6’ high retaining walls and one 5’ - 6’ high noise wall. As previously recommended, walls/fences should be designed with a minimum 10’ separation. At other locations along Windrose Circle, the proposed design would result in two 4’ - 6’ retaining walls with a 6’ fence above the second retaining wall. The combination of walls/fences should not exceed 6’; therefore rear yard fences would not be allowed above or slightly separate from retaining walls due to visual impacts. The only - exception to the 6’ height limit is that an open 36” - 42” safety railing is required above retaining walls exceeding 3’. 8. Please provide a 5’ separation between the noise wall separating the project and the retaining wall as shown by typical sections A-A and B-B on the tentative map to allow adequate room for landscaping. Engineering: 1. Engineering issues of concern will be forwarded under separate cover. - HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT- OR HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AMENDMENT INFORMATION SHEET GENERAL INFORMATION This sheet generally explains how your Hillside Development Permit (HDP) will be processed.
