Dear Jim:
As per our meeting yesterday, I am submitting a drawing indicating our solution to the diagonal loading for the Floral Trade Center.
We propose to turn the loading areas on the north side of the building to 60 degree diagonal, at grade loading. As you can see by the plan, we have used a conservative 48 ft. truck turning radius and the circulation in and out of the loading areas is good.
We also visited several buildings in Carlsbad that have a loading space that is not perpendicular to the circulation aisle. The addresses on these buildings are as follows:
5922 Farnsworth Court Koll Business Center Southeast corner of building
5858 Dryden Place (MI Building)
2728 Loker Avenue Carlsbad Oaks Business Center
Although diagonal loading is not specifically mentioned in your standards, we feel the diagonal loading follows the intent of your guidelines, which is to provide proper loading and unloading circulation for industrial buildings. Diagonal loading is also common throughout San Diego County as a solution to irregular shaped lots and expensive land values requiring a more efficient circulation pattern.
