HOLZMILLER Planning Director MJH:AH:eh c: Gary Wayne Adrienne Landers Ken Quon Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide Hofman Planning Associates, Inc. 2075 La Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 - (760) 438-i 161 - FAX (760) 438-0894 - LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION No. MP 139(H)/CT 99-09/CP 99-06 Planning: c . 1. Noise study which confirms the proposed height and location of the required noise wall. 2. Include earthwork volumes. 3. Proof of availability of sewer. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. Please add the project numbers to the tentative map. Also change the zoning to RD-M. 2. The proposed courtyards and driveways which are completely hardscape along with a uniform setback reduced to 10’ results in a street scene that has very little landscape coverage. The proposed reduction in front setback could be supported for only a percentage of units. (See the attached redlined exhibit for staff’s recommendation). This would provide for more variation and increase landscaped areas. Also, please incorporate an enhanced hardscape design into the driveways/courtyards through the use of different materials and colors and show on the landscape plan. 3. The Planned Development Ordinance open space requirement is 200 square feet per unit. While the common active area is defined on the plan, the private passive area for each unit is not. Please identify in the table on the site plan the total area required, total area of common and passive area provided to ensure that this requirement is met. Private patios must be a minimum of 10’ x 10’ and balcony decks must be a minimum 6’ x 6’ dimension. The dimensioned patios and balcony decks should be shown on the site plan and floor plans. The patios behind some of the units cannot be covered due to the fire suppression zone requirements. They can, however, be enclosed by low walls and defined using brick or enhanced paving and landscaping. The private passive areas are important in multi-family projects. If trellises/patio covers are proposed, submit a patio cover/trellis exhibit identifying which unit may have them and provide an architectural detail. 4. Dimension the setbacks to garages facing the street. 5. No landscaping is proposed in rear yard areas. Please add landscaping in these areas consistent with the landscape guidelines. Please note that landscaping within the rear yards of units within the 50’ setback along Melrose Drive must be landscaped in accordance with the Master Plan landscape requirements. -- Additionally, the landscape maintenance exhibit indicates that rear yard areas are to be maintained by individual homeowners. This project has common open space surrounding the units that should be maintained by the HOA. 6. The proposed fire suppression zones appear to encroach into some natural areas. If any sensitive vegetation is located within the area requiring pruning or removal, these areas may need?0 be mitigated. Please advise. 7. Please submit a set of elevations excluding the shaded areas. 8. Please include the proposed location of the Village N entry monument on the site plan along with a detail of the structure that is in accordance with the Ranch0 Carrillo Sign Program. 9. It is unclear to staff whether this proposal is for the triplexes on both sides of the courtyard are proposed to be the same architectural style. Please advise Engineering: Engineering issues will be forwarded under separate cover. Fire: 1. The proposed cul-de-sac exceeds 600 feet and therefore appears to conflict with City standards. If so, provide additional access. 2. All buildings are classified as R-l occupancies and are three stories in height and must, therefore be protected by automatic sprinkler systems conforming to NFPA Standard 13R.
