Worthing 690 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 SUBJECT: CT 98-16 - 5 LOT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION Thank you for applying for Land Use Permits in the City of Carlsbad. The Planning Department has reviewed your Tentative Map, application no. CT 98-16, as to its completeness for processing. The application is incomplete, as submitted. Attached are two lists. 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, October 1, 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 If an application is withdrawn or deemed withdrawn, a new application must be submitted.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, Team Leader Ken Quon, Project Engineer Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide 2075 Las Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92009-I 576 - (760) 438-1161 l FAX (760) 438-0894 @ LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION No. CT 98-16 Planning: 1. School District letter indicating that school facilities will be available to the project. Engineering: 1. Lot line dimensions on Lot 1. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. Based on the growth control point of 3.2 dwelling units per acre, this property may not exceed a density of 4 lots. Required compatibility findings to enable a higher density cannot be made (see Item 2 below). 2. Staff has conducted an analysis of surrounding lots to determine if the proposed lot sizes are compatible with the neighborhood. While it is understood that the larger lots will further subdivide, it appears that most of the surrounding lots to the east and south are not large enough to subdivide. These lots range in size from approximately 9,100 square feet to 16,000 square feet. One 21,000 square foot lot would be able to subdivide, however, lots sizes would still exceed the size of the proposed lots. Although the property is 1.5 acres in area, the proposed road (James Drive) is approximately .5 acre which results in a smaller overall area to subdivide, i.e., smaller proposed lots. Based on the above, staff is unable to support the proposed 5 lot subdivision and therefore recommends that the property be subdivided into four lots with a minimum area of 9,000 square feet. This would preserve the existing and future character of this neighborhood as required by the City’s 1994 General Plan update. 3. A four lot subdivision requires administrative approval of a Tentative Parcel Map. If the applicant decides to proceed with a parcel map, the tentative tract map application must be withdrawn and an application for a Tentative Parcel Map must be submitted to the Engineering Department. 4. Based on the above, the panhandle lot would not be supported. - Engineering: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Existing and proposed right-of-way widths for both Buena Vista Avenue and James Drive, along with proposed dedications, should be clearly shown on the tentative map. The plan view appears to show curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the west side of James Drive to be included with this project, while the typical street section shows these improvements to be done in the future. Please clarify. The right-of-way width for James Drive can be reduced to 56’, with a curb- to-curb width of 36’. Required street improvements will be half-street width plus 12’ of additional paving. The minimum grade of James Drive is to be 1%, as opposed to the 0.5% proposed on the plans. It is unclear as to why the Line Data tables and Curve Data tables are shown on the tentative map. Please correct General Note 5: Cut slopes may not exceed 2:l. 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.
