Suite 300 12230 El Camino Real San Diego CA 92130 2075 La Palmas Dr. 0 Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 - (760) 436-l 161 0 FAX (760) 438-0894 @ No. CT 98-l 5 - ISSUES OF CONCERN PLANNING: Site Plan The building setback on loop private drive “K” exceeds the required 20 foot setback required. Because there are more than 12 units along this drive, the setbacks shall be 20 feet. Please provide a list of all the items requested as reductions in site development standards or modifications of the zoning code requirements for the affordable housing incentives. Review the Parking Summary on the tentative map cover sheet. The numbers do not relate to the spaces provided. Identify the 5 driveway parking spaces. Parking spaces adjacent to building 22 are labeled standard, but appear to be compact spaces. Correct as necessary. Provide a column of percentages of coverage with project summary table. Under “Waivers” on site plan, include that “All buildings are to have a minimum 5 foot setback from private streets”. Some units will have a greater setback. Provide outlines of adjacent proposed Village A, as done for Village B, Phase I. Show how pedestrian access is gained to each unit. Smooth out jagged design of proposed walkways. Landscape Provide percent of site used for landscaping on landscape plans. Total area is approximately 3.0 acres. Show how pedestrian access is gained to each unit. Correlate how walkways on site plan relate to courtyards on landscape plan, or vise versa. Show enhanced pavement treatments at the entrance of each driveway entrance off the spine road (Pvt. Dr. A). Also add pavement treatments at the ends of each driveway with bench or other amenity in the landscaping at the end of the drive. - This would have the effect of shortening the driveway and providing an additional passive/active area. Building elevations and floor plans The garage elevations of the units should have additional architectural relief as to eliminate the long two story face that is created. This is more pronounced when multiple buildings are placed end to end, such as buildings 21 and 22, and across from each other, which creates a long narrow alley effect. Second story setbacks, balconies, false balconies, facade treatments such as reveals, belt courses, sills, and enhanced window treatments, wrought iron railings, and trellises over the garage entrances are some suggestions. Provide an offset or stagger to the buildings, possibly 2 feet per units, to create a little more relief and variety to the now somewhat square buildings. Also to add some projections in the way of extended covered patios. Especially in the corners of the buildings. Fifty percent of the exterior openings (doors/windows) shall be recessed or projected a minimum of two inches. State on plans that the garages will be equipped with automatic garage door openers. Consider the use of roll-up type garage doors rather than tilt-up. Garage doors should have a variety of styles, designs and or patterns. Provide floor plans and elevations of main recreation facility. Does the main recreation facility provide a common meeting room? Provide some additional information on the tot lot learning wall Please provide the construction materials board and color samples. Engineering: Traffic and Circulation 1. Please show a 150’ minimum Stopping Sight Distance, sight line at the Private Drive “A”/Paseo Acampo intersection. Also, show a clear sight line from the Private Drive “K”/Paseo Acampo intersection to the Paseo Acampo “southeasterly” end curb return (EC). Show these siqht lines on the tentative map and landscape concept plan. 2. Please show a worst case 1 :I, 1)) = 2’ scale profile for the proposed 5’ “driveways, ” into the garages, indicating that an AASHTO “P” Vehicle will not hit bottom accessing a garage. - - Grading 1. Please show how the proposed grading along the southerly property line will match the existing grading at Village “A.” There should probably be a bench or key to match the existing slope at Village “A.” Or, submit verification from a registered Soils Engineer that just adding soil to the Village “A” existing slope is acceptable. Mamins and Land Title: 1. Please indicate which is the existing property boundary line and which one is being adjusted. Staff assumes that the boundary line being shown is the existing one and that this line is being adjusted to the north. However, it can also be interpreted that this boundary line is being adjusted to the south to facilitate on-site grading. If this is the case, the proposal is unacceptable since the boundary line would not be located at the top of the slope. Please review and revise as necessary. 2. Regarding Item No. 1 above, please show a setback from the top of the slope to the proposed adjusted property boundary line, in accordance with City Standard GS-14. Miscellaneous: 1. Enclosed for the applicant’s review for making the requested revisions is a red- lined check print of the project. This check print must be returned with the revised plans to facilitate continued staff review.
