WHAT is an Early Assessment?
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 81/2 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.qov/business/buildino/permittinq-process/Paaes/Enaineerina 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 Jeremv.riddleacarlsbadca.qov 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.

Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) provides potable water and recycled water within a portion
of the City of Carlsbad. CMWD's service area covers most of the City's boundary.The CMWD has
been providing recycled water to the city since 1991. The pipeline projects described herein are
components of the Phase III Recycled Water Project considered within the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) identified in the 2012 RWMP to expand recycled water service to the northwest
quadrant of the CMWD service area. The Phase III Recycled Water Project includes the installation of
new pipelines, conversion of existing potable water facilities to recycled water use, and retrofitting
landscape irrigation water systems to use recycled water and provide supply to proposed land
development projects.
Expansion Segment 9 consists of 4,800 feet of 6-inch to 8-inch diameter pipeline with an ultimate
system demand of 91 afy. This segment would be a part of Zone 318, expanding the recycled water
system south to the San Pacifico Homeowners Association and various existing landscape irrigation
and potential development areas. A portion of this alignment extends Zone 318 south along Avenida
Encinas to the Poinsettia Village shopping center and the Lake Shore Garden mobile home park.

INSTRUCTIONS:
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 represent 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.
