Thank you for submitting a preliminary review for the demolition oftwo existing single-family homes and
the construction of a five-unit attached condominium building on property located at 141 and 151
Tamarack Avenue The project site, consisting of two lots (0 25 acres), is currently developed with two
residential units
In response to your application, the Planning Division has prepared this comment letter Please note that
the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with direction and comments on the overall concept
of your project This preiimlnarv review does not represent an in-depth analvsis of vour prelect. It is
Intended to give vou feedback on critical issues based upon the Information provided In vour submittal.
This review Is based upon the plans, policies, and standards in effect as of the date of this review. Please
be aware that at the time of a formal application submittal. new plans, poliaes. and standanis may be
in effect and additional Issues of concern may be raised through a more specific and detailed review.
Planning:
General
1 General Plan and zoning designations for the property are as follows
a General Plan R-23 Residential, 15 - 23 units/ac The Growth Management Control Point is
19 units/ac,
b Zoning Residential Density Medium Zone (RD-M),
c The site is located within the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ), and
d The site is located within the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Segment of the Local Coastal Program -
Area of Deferred Certification and is subject to the Agua Hedionda Land Use Plan The Coastal
Land Use designation and zone are the same as the General Plan and Zoning above

b Planned Development Permit, and
c Coastal Development Permit issued by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) will be
required post Carlsbad entitlements
All applications must be submitted to the City concurrently The Planning Commission will be the
final decision maker for the City applications
3 The following information is based on the R-23 General Plan Land Use designation for the project
site The R-23 General Plan Land Use designation has a density range of 15 - 23 dwelling
units/acre and a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 19 dwelling units/acre which is
usqd for the purpose of calculating the Qt/s compliance with Government Code Section 65863
The project site at 0 25 acres would yield 5 units/lots (0 25 ac x 19 = 4 75 du's rounded up to 5) at
the GMCP and a project density of 20 du/ac This density of 20 du/ac is above the GMCP density
(:j.9 du/ac) required for the R-23 General Plan Land Use designation and would be supported by
staff Pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Secton 21 53 230, Table A, the unit yield may be
rounded up subject to a fractional and/or whole unit allocation from the "excess dwelling unit
bank" and provided the maximum density of the applicable land use designation is not exceeded
A five unit project on this site would have a density of 20 units per acre which is within the range
of 15 - 23 units per acre allowed by the R-23 General Plan Land Use designation Staff is
supportive of the fractional unit allocation from the "excess dwelling unit bank" and can support
the development of five dwellings on the site
4 As descnbed in the scope of work, the preliminary review application is for five attached
residential condominium units located on one common lot Pursuant to Section 21 45 040 (Table
A) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, multiple-family dwellings within a Condominium Project are a
permitted residential use in the RD-M zone Therefore, staff supports the proposed residential
use subject to compliance with all applicable development standards contained within Chapter
2145 (Planned Development Ordinance) of the CMC The general development standards are
listed in Section 2145 060 (Table C) of the CMC and the specific development standards for
Condominium Projects are listed in Section 2145 080 (E) of the CMC including the Architecture
Requirements listed in Section E 2 (Ex 3 separate building planes, a minimum of 4 design
elements, etc) Refer to comment No 5 below for further information
5 Architecture: The proposed architecture shown on the front elevation rendenng is not supported
by staff as rt looks like a non-residential use For this reason, please revise the project's
architecture style accordingly Staff could not comment on the rear and side elevations as they
were omitted from the application Each elevation will be required with a formal submittal As a
reminder, the proposed architecture is part of the Planned Development Permit review and must
comply with CMC Chapter 2145, Table E, Reference No E 2 (Architectural Requirements)
Specifically, the building elevations shall incorporate a minimum of four complementary design
elements, including but not limited to
• A vanety of roof planes,

• Columns,
• Arched elements,
• Vaned windows shapes,
• Exterior wood elements,
• Accent matenals such as bnck, stone, shingles, wood, or siding, and
• Towers
There should also be at least three separate building planes on all building elevations so that the
building IS visually interesting, has sufficient building articulation to reduce its bulk and mass, and
IS in scale to its lot size The minimum offset in planes shall be 18 inches and shall include, but
not be limited to, building walls, windows, and roofs Once the project is revised to comply with
the above architecture requirements and staff recommendations, please make sure to
incorporate to the extent feasible, the same level of design detail on the front elevaton into the
rear and side elevations
6 As proposed, the project does not comply with the required front yard setback Pursuant to CMC
Chapter 21 24 040 (A)l, a fifteen foot setback is required and less than 3 feet is provided along
the western portion of the front property line (Sheet A2.1) Please take into account Planning
Issue No 6 below as the project is redesigned to comply with the minimum required front yard
setback

the CMC, in any "R" zone, no fence, wall or hedge over forty-two inches in height as measured
from existing graded shall be permitted in any required front yard setback Cross section(s) will
also be required to demonstrate compliance
11 Future nght-of-way dedication may be required as part of this project (See Engineenng Comment
No 2 below) Building setbacks will be measured from the new right-of-way and may impact the
proposed design The dedicated porton of the lot is able to be included in the density
calculations

wall similar to stall No 1 Please revise
13 Please provide the total cubic feet of storage space proposed for each unit consistent with CMC
Chapter 2145 070 Table C 13
14 Basement Exhibit The project appears to propose a parking garage basement For this area not
to be included in the overall building height, it must qualify as a basement Not enough
information was provided to determine if the garage qualifies as a basement For this reason, a
"basement exhibit" consistent with CMC Chapter 2104 045 must be provided with a formal
application If the lower garage level does not qualify as a basement, building height will be
measured from the floor level (existing grade or finished grade whichever is lower) to the roof
above and therefore exceeds the 24' height requirement if less than a 3/12 roof pitch is provided
for the Beach Area Overlay Zone

residential structure which replaces a residential structure that was destroyed or demolished
within two years prior to the application for a building permit for the new residential structure is
exempt from affordable housing requirements, provided that the number of residential units is
not increased from the number of residential units of the previously destroyed or demolished
residential structure The proposal to demolish two existing single-family homes and construct a
five-unit residential condominium project will be required to pay the applicable housing in-lieu
fee on a per unit basis for three units, or five units if building peimitsforthefive-unit project have
not been applied for within two years of demolishing the existing single-family homes on-site
