LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED
TO COMPLETE APPLICATION
No. CT 94-02/PUD 94-01 - Pacific Pointe
1. We are in receipt of your noise report prepared by Bricken & Associates. The acoustical
analysis however, does not take into consideration future noise impacts of the NCTD
commuter rail project scheduled to begin service as early as the end of this year. Please
have your consultant revise the analysis and resubmit the report to the City for review.
2. We have reviewed the architectural guidelines compliance summary submitted. It does not
appear that the proposed units comply with Guidelines nos. 1, 3, and 5. Please revise
elevations to meet these guidelines.
ISSUES OF CONCERN
PLANNING:
1. We have reviewed your open space proposal pursuant to Section 21.45.090(g) of the
Planned Development (PD) Ordinance. The proposed recreation area satisfies the
requirements of the PD ordinance. The recreation area however, needs to be shown on the
tentative map. Access to the recreation area is proposed via sidewalks within the side yards
of lots 1 and 6 and between lots 1, 2, 5 and 6. Such access is not necessary between lots
1 and 6 as long as rear gates are provided for access to the side walk between lots 2 and
5. An exhibit showing the design of the recreation area must be submitted. The design
should show proposed improvements including recreational amenities, landscaping and
hardscape.
2. The proposed off-street parking does not meet City standards as the spaces on lots 3 and
6 are not available to all units and potential users may not be able to use the spaces if cars
are parked in the driveway. As this is a Planned Development, parking would have to be
available to all units. One solution would be to provide an enlarged driveway on each lot.
By providing extra parking for each lot the off-street parking requirement would be satisfied
and should your project be approved without a common recreational facility as requested,
you would not be required to form an HOA to maintain shared parking. Widened driveways
should be curvilinear from back of curb in an attempt to minimize curb cut width and to
preserve on-street parking. This would also permit a small landscaped area along the street
frontage which could be used to soften the effect of the widened driveway. Because the
driveway will be so wide, care should be given in the selection of materials to be used for
the driveway surface. Materials such as pavers, tiles or others could look attractive.
ENGINEERING:
1. The City could not find a letter from the Soils Engineer in the project resubmittal package
of March 18, 1994. The applicant's transmittal letter of March 18, 1994, referenced such
a letter to address the proposed location of the drainage swales within the side yards to be
less than 5' from the buildings.
2. City standards require that the driveway aprons for access to the adjacent parcel to the east
on Olive Avenue must be located a minimum 3' clear distance from the property line. Also,
please identify on the tentative map the existing curb inlet located at the end of Olive
Avenue.
3. The City requires lot drainage to the street be conducted as surface flow, and strongly
discourages the use of yard drain systems, except in those cases where no other alternatives
are possible.
4. Please identify the improvements on the tentative map as "existing" or "proposed", and not
as "future".
5. Please have the assigned CT and PUD numbers for this project inscribed at the upper right
corner of the tentative map.
