WHAT is an Early Assessment?
EARLY ASSESSMENT
FOR CITY PROJECTS
P-15
Development Service~~
Planning Division
1635 Faraday Avenue
{760) 602-4610
www.carlsbadca.gov
It is an early, informal review of your city project by the Planning Division prior to a formal application submittal. The
Early Assessment, or "EA," review is required for all city projects.
WHAT you need to provide:
• Application form (signed by the project engineer and individual authorizing submittal of the Early Assessment,
such as the deputy city engineer or a division/department head);
• Two (2) sets of your site plan and/or other exhibits (folded to 8% x 11) with sufficient detail to allow staff to
adequately review your proposed project;
• Completed storm water standards questionnaire Form E-34 (see below for more information).
• Any other information that you think will contribute to staff's understanding of your proposal.
About the storm water form: The storm water standards questionnaire (Form E-34) to complete is available from
the Development Application Forms and Handouts page of the city's website at
http://www.carlsbadca.gov/business/building/permitting-process/Pages/Engineering Applications.aspx. Since
storm water requirements are location and project-specific, please complete the form for each project proposed and
for each project location proposed. For projects covering large areas, such as a pavement overlay or sidewalk
replacement, it may be appropriate to fill out only one form. For guidance on storm water or if you have questions
about the form and its applicability, please contact Jeremy Riddle, Associate Civil Engineer, in Land Development
Engineering at Jeremy.riddle@carlsbadca.gov or extension 2737.
WHERE to submit:
Please submit your application at the Planning Division Development Services Counter.
HOW your application will be processed:
After a submittal is made, your application will be sent to the Land Development engineer and Special Projects
planner assigned to review it. Depending on the project, the planner may request additional plans for review by
additional departments, such as Police or Fire.
The planner will prepare a written response to your submittal (in memo form), incorporating comments from all
reviewing departments. You should receive this memo within thirty days after the date you submitted the
application. The response memo will address (at a minimum) the following:
• General Plan, Zoning, and Coastal Zone information;
• Anticipated permit, processing, and CEQA requirements;
• Storm water requirements or comments;
• Identification of any major project issues based upon the Early Assessment submittal; and
• Contact information for the planner and engineer and any other persons who reviewed your project.
The Early Assessment does not represent an in-depth analysis of your project. The completeness and accuracy of
your submittals will dictate the quality of your project's Early Assessment response. Additional issues of concern
may be raised after your permit application package is formally submitted and processed for a more specific and
detailed review. Also. additional and/or different issues of concern may arise with the passage of time and changing
circumstances. regulations. etc. Therefore. the issues and requirements identified in the Early Assessment
response memo might change if there is a long lead time between the Early Assessment response and the submittal
of a formal project application.
The Planning Division will retain the Early Assessment. If you submit a formal application in the future, it likely will
be assigned to the same planner who processed your Early Assessment.

Identify the project schedule. List critical and desired milestones including dates in the development review and
construction process (e.g., publiic hearing dates, grant application submittal deadlines, public workshops,
construction phasing, etc.).

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL-DE~scribe the project in as much detail as possible. Use as much space as needed.
Attach additional sheets (drawings, etc.) if necessary. Be sure to identify, if applicable, estimated quantities of
grading (including import/export), construction staging areas on and offsite, areas of sensitive vegetation, unique
construction technologies, proposed facility technologies and byproducts, and any public art component. If
preliminary or conceptual plans or exhibits are available, please include two sets with this transmittal.
The project is located on East Bound Palomar Airport Road between 1-5 and the intersection with Paseo Del Norte. Two
circulation system street projects included in the approved CIP budget will be addressed with this project:
CIP# 6043 will lengthen the twin left turn lanes from East Bound Palomar Airport Road to North Bound Paseo Del Norte.
This portion of the project is in result Ito the traffic impacts from the Carlsbad Paseo Retail and Restaurant project (CUP 07-
03/CDP 07-07). A Traffic Impact Study for this development was submitted in 2008 and determined the existing turn pocket
length would not provide adequate capacity to support the development. A traffic impact fee was collected as result of the
study and is conditioned to pay a 13% fair share contribution for the construction of this component of the overall project. To
mitigate the impacts of the Paseo development the proposed design includes a 50' extension of the left twin turn pocket in
addition to a 120' transitional taper. An existing CAL TRANS overhead sign will be relocated as a result of the extension. An
encroachment permit from CAL TRANS and coordination with their signage and signal division is included the project scope.
CIP # 6044 creates a dedicated right turn lane from East Bound Palomar Airport Road to South Bound Paseo Del Norte. A
Grant Deed of Easement Doc# 1999-0565676 provided the adequate ROW to support a 120' long taper transition to a 230'
long full lane turn pocket. The proposed 11' wide turn pocket provides the available space for a 6' wide bike lane through
this segment. However, the proposed bike lane is subject to change should either planning or traffic departments find this
designated space more appropriate for sidewalk widening in accordance with the city's mobility element. Signal modification,
utility and signage relocation, sidewalk modification, and ADA curb ramp upgrades are also included in this portion of the
project.

STORM WATER STANDARDS
QUESTIONNAIRE

1635 Faraday Avenue
(760) 602-2750
www.carlsbadca.gov
To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the city requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management
Practices (BMPs) into the project design per Carlsbad BMP Design Manual (BMP Manual). To view the BMP Manual,
refer to the Engineering Standards (Volume 5).
This questionnaire must be completed by the applicant in advance of submitting for a development application
(subdivision, discretionary permits and/or construction permits). The results of the questionnaire determine the level of
storm water standards that must be applied to a proposed development or redevelopment project. Depending on the
outcome, your project will either be subject to 'STANDARD PROJECT' requirements or be subject to 'PRIORITY
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT' (PDP) requirements.
Your responses to the questionnaire n3present an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts. City
staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff
determines that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than
initially assessed by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please
make the changes to the questionnaire and resubmit to the city.
If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the
questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff.
A completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted with each development project application. Only one
completed and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project are
submitted concurrently.
