SITED 12SC1UPT1ON
The subject properly is localed at 2677 State Slreel, Ca rlsbad, Cal ifornifl (see Location
lVlap, fo'igure I). The rectangular shaped properly is relatively level. The sile currently
supports a masonry/wood framed stru cture, an automobi le lifl and asphalt concrete
pavement. The site is bounded by residenti al properties to the northwest ancl southeast,
State Streel to the northeast and an alley lo the southwest.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Proposed development consists of a four-story townhouse building. The first floor will be
al ap proxima te existing ground level and will consist of garage and lobby/offi ce space.
Existing site improvements wi ll be demolished. We anticipate that fo undations will
consist of conventional continuous/spread footings with slab-on-grade ground floors.
Building loads are expected to be typical for this type of construction. Design grading is
expected to consist of cuts and fills on the order of approximately 1 to 2-feet. No
retaining walls or slopes are proposed.
SUBSUR17ACE EXPLORATION
Subsurface conditions were explored by excavating two ho llow-stem auger borings lo
depths of 18.5 and 21-feet below existing site grades. The approximate locations of the
exploratory borings are shown on the attached Plot Plan, Figure 2.
The subsmface exploration was supervised by a geologist from this office, who visually
classified the soil, and obtained relatively undisturbed and bulk soil samples for
laboratory testing. The soils were visually classified according to the Unified Soil
Classification System. Classifications are shown on the attached Boring Logs, figures 3
and 4.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing was performed on samples obtained during the subsurface exploration.
Tests performed consisted of the following:
• Dry Density/Moistmc Content (ASTM: D 2216)
• Direct SheaJ (ASTM: D 3080)
o Soluble Sulfate (Cal Test 417)

SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
J . Geologic Setting
The subj ect site lies within a relatively level marine terrace that is contained within
the coastal plain region of 1101thern San Diego County, California. The coastal plain
region is characterized by numerous regressive marine terraces of Pleistocene age that
have been established above wave-cut platforms of underlying Eocene bedrock and
were formed during glacio-eustatic changes in sea level. The terraces extend from
areas of higher elevations east of the site and descend generally west-southwest in a
"stairstep" fashion clown to the present day coastline. These marine tenaces increase
in age eastward. The site area is contained within the east portion of the USGS
Oceanside 7.5-minute quadrangle.
As observed in the borings, the site is underlain by fill, Quaternary tenace deposits,
and Santiago Formation bedrock. Structurally, bedding within the terrace deposits is
considered lo be essentially massive. The terrace deposits are fine to coarse grained
and bave a high expansion potential in the upper section.
2. Geologic Units
a. Fill -Fill consisting generally of moist, loose to medium dense, red brown silty
sand was cncotmt.ered in the borings to a depth of approximately 2-feet.
b. Terrace Deposits -Encountered beneath the filJ in both borings, the tenace
deposits are considered massive and very highly expansive, and consist of gray
sandy clay that is moist and firm to stiff, and transitions to reel brown silty sand
with depth that is damp to moist and medium dense to dense. The terrace deposits
extend to depths of approximately 11 to 13-feet in the borings. --

c. Bedrock (Santiago Formation) -Encountered beneath Lhe terrace cleposi.ts at
depths of approximately 11 to 13-fect, the bedrock consists of light brown lo li ght
gray silty sandstone that is moist a11cl dense lo very dense.
3. Groundwater
Seepage was encountered in the exploratory borings perched on lbe bedrock contact
at depths of 9 to 11 -fcet. It should be noted, however, that fluctuations in U1e amount
and level of groundwater rnay occur due to varia tions in rainfall, irrigation <1nd other
factors that may not have been evident at the time of our tield investigation.
SEISMlCJTY
Based on review of the available geologic maps/literature, there are no active or
potentially active faults thal traverse the subject site, and the property is not located
within the currently map ped limits of a Stale of California Earthquake Fault Zone. The
following tabl e lists the known active fa ults that would have the most significant impact
on the site:
Maximum Probable
Fault Earthquake Slip Rate
(Moment Magn itude) (mm/year)
Rose Canyon 7.1 5.0
(8.9-kilometers/ 5.5-miles southwest)
Elsinore (Julian Segment) 6.8 1.5 (37-kilometers/ 23-miles northeast)
SEISMlC EFFECTS
I. Ground Accelerations
The most significant probable earthquake to affect the properly would be a 7 .1
magnitude earthquake on the Rose Canyon fault. Based on Section 1803.5.12 of the
2016 Califorrua Building Code and Section 11.8.3 of ASCE 7, peak ground
accelerations (PGAM) of 0.479g are possible fo r the design eruthquake.
2. Landsliding
Review of the referenced geologic maps/literature indicates that the subject property
is not included within the limits of any previously mapped landsliding. The risk of

Log No. l 9513
November 3, 2017
Page 5
seismica lly induced landsliding affecting the site is considered low due to the
relatively level site topography.
3. Ground Cracks
The risk of fault surface rupture due lo active faulting is considered low dut: lo lbe
absence of known active faults on si te. Ground cracks clue lo shaking from seismic
evenls in the region are possible, as with al I of southern California.
4. Liquefaclion
The risk of seismically induced liquefaction within the site is considered low clue to
the firm to dense nature of the terrace deposits and relatively shallow bedrock.
5. Tsunamis
The si te is not located within a mapped tsunami immdation area (Reference 3). The
risk of a tsunamis event adversely impacting the site is considered low due to the
elevation of the property above sea level.
CONCLUSIONS J\.ND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. General
The proposed development is considered feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.
Grading and foundation plans sho uld take into account the appropriate geotechnical
fealures of the site. Provided that the recommendations presented in this report and
good construction practices are utilized during design and construction, the proposed
construction is not anticipated to adversely impact the adjacent propeities from a
geotechnical standpoint.
2. Seismic Paramelers for Structural Design
Seismic considerations that may be Ltsed for strnctural design at the site include the
following:
a. Ground Motion -The proposed slructurc should be designed and constructed to
resist the effects of seismic ground motions as provided in Section 1613 of the
2016 California Building Code.

ASCr-: 7, a Risk Ca tegory 11 and a Seismi c Design Category D are co nsidered
appropriate for the sub,icct properly.
3. Sile Grading
Prior to grad ing, the site should be cleared or existing improvements, surface
obstructions, vegetati on and debris. Materi al:; generated during clearing should be
disposed of at an approved location off site. Holes resulting from the removal of.' any
buried obstruction should be fill ed with compacted fill or Jean concrete. Seepage pi.ts
and/o r septi c systems, if encountered during site development, should be abandoned
in accordance with local guidelines.
Within the limits of proposed improvements and to 3-feet beyo nd where possible,
existing loose lill and very highly expansive terrace deposits should be removed
down to approved dense sanely terrace deposits. Removal depths are estimated to be
8 Lo I 0-feet below existing site grades. Actual removal depths should be determined
in the field by the Geotechnical Consultant based on conditions exposed during
grading. The very highly expansive terrace deposits should be expo1ted from the site
and replaced with import soils possessing a low expansion potential (EI = 50 or less
and ~ = 30° or more). Shoring or slot cutting will likely be necessary to facilitate
removals.
The exposed subgrade soils should be scarified to a depth of 6 to 8-inches, moisture
conditioned to about optimum rnoisllll'C content and compacted by mechanical mem1s
to a minimum relative compaction of 90-percenl (ASTM: D 1557). filJ should be
moisture conditioned as necessary to about optimum moisture content uncl compacted
by mechanical means in uniform horizontal lifts of 6 to 8-inches in thiclmess. All fill
should be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90-percent based upon
ASTM: D 1557. The on-site materials, with the exception of the very highly
expansive terrace deposits, are suitable for use as compacted fill provided all
vegetation and debris are removed. Rock fragments over 6-inches in dimension and
other perishable or unsuitable materials should be excluded fro m the fill.
All grading and compaction should be observed and tested as necessary by the
Geoteclmical Consultant.

4. l◄'oundalion and Slab Recommendations
The proposed structure may be supported on conventional conlinuous/spread footings
founded at least 48-inches in compacted fi 11. Continuous [oot i11gs shmdd be al least
24-inches wide and reinforced with a mirLirnum of four #4 bars, lwo lop and two
bollom . Fo11nclations located adjacent to utilily trenches should extend below a I :1
(hori zontal Lo vertical) plane projected upward from the bottom of the trench.
Foundations bearing as recommended may be designed for a dead plus Ii ve load
bearing value of 4000-pounds-per-square-foot. This value may be increased by one-
lhird (or loads including wind and seismic forces. A lateral bearing value of 350-
pow1ds-per-square-foot per foot of depth to a maximum value of 4000-pounds-per-
square-fool and a coefficient of friction between foundation soil and concrete of 0.35
may be assumed. These values assume that footings will be poured neat against the
foundation soils. Footing excavations sho uld be observed by the Geotechnica l
Consultant prior to the placement of reinforcing steel in order to verify thal they are
founded in suitable bearing materials.
Total and differential settlement due to foun dation loads is considered to be less than
3/4 and 3/8-inch, respectively, for foundations founded as recommended.
Slab-on-grade floors should have a minimum thickness of 5-inches, and should be
reinforced with #4 bars spaced at 18-inches, center to center, in two directions, and
supporlecl on chairs so that the reinforcement is at mid-height in the slab. Floor slabs,
including the parking garage, should be underlain with a moistlll'e vapor retarder
consisting of a rninimum 10-mil polyethylene membrane. At least 2-inches of sand
should be placed over the vapor retarder to assist in concrete curing and at least 2-
inches of sand should be placed below the vapor retarder. The vapor retarder should
be placed in accordance with ASTM: E 1643. Prior to placing concrete, the slab
subgrade soils should be thoroughly moistened.
Vapor retarders are not intended to provide a waterproofing function. Should
moistu re vapor sensitive floor coverings be planned, a qualified consultant/contractor
sho uld be consulLed to evaluate moisture vapor transmission rates and to provide
recommendations to mitigate potential adverse impacts of moisture vapor
transmissions on the proposed flooring.

:S. Temporary Slopes
Temporary slopes necessary to facil ilate grading may be cut vertically up to 4-feet
where the cuts are not influenced by existing structLu·cs or properly line constrai11ts.
Any portion of temporary slopes near existing improvements, property lines, higher
Lhan 4-fecl, or exposing potentially unstable soil s should be sloped at a raLio 110
steeper than l: 1 (horizontal to vertical), slot cut, or shored.
Field observations by the Engineering Geologist cl ming grading of temporary slopes
arc recommended and considered necessary lo con.firm anticipated conditions and
provide additional recommendations as warranted. Slot cut/shori ng parameters can be
provided upon request.
6. Hard scape
Concrete flatwork should be at least 5-inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 4
bars spaced at l 8-inches on-center (two ctirections) and placed on chairs so that the
reinforcement is in the center of the concrete. Contraction joints should be provided
at 8-feet spacing (maximum). Joints should create square panels where possible. for
rectangular panels (where necessary) the long dimension should be no more than 1.5
times the short dimension. Joint depth should be at least 0.25 times the flatwork.
thickness. Expansion joints should be thoroughly sealed to prevent the infiltration of
water into the underlying soils.
7. Sulfate Content
Representative samples of the on-site soils were submitted for sulfate testing. The
results of the sulfate tests are summarized on the Laboratory Test Results, Figure 5.
The sulfate contents are consistent with a not applicable sulfate exposure
classification per Table 4 .2.1 of the Am erican Concrete Institute Publication 318,
consequently, no special provisions for Slllfate resistant concrete are considered
necessary. Other conosivity testing has not been performed, consequentl y, on-site
soils should be assumed to be severely corrosive lo buried metals unless testing is
performed to indicate otherwise.
8. Drainage
The following recommendations are intended to minimize the potential adverse
effects of water on the structure and apprntenances.

a. Consideration should be given to providing the structure with roof gutters and
dowuspouls tbat discharge to an area drain system and/or lo suitable locations
away li·orn the strnclure.
b. J\ll site drainage should be directed away l't-0111 lb c structure.
c. No landscaping should be al lowed against lhe structure. Moisture c1ccumulalion
or watering a~jacent lo foundatio ns can result in deter ioration or building
materials and may affect the performance of foundations.
cl. Irrigated areas should not be over-watered. irrigation should be limited to that
required to mai.ntain the vegetation. Adclitionally, automatic systems must be
seasonally adjusted to minimize over-saturation potential particularly in the
winter (rainy) season.
e. All yard and roof drains should be periodically checked to verify they are not
blocked ru1d flow properly, and maintained as necessary.
9. Recommended Observation and Testing During Conslruction
The following tests and/or observations by the Geotechnical Consultant are
recommended:
a. Observation and testing duri ng site grading.
b. Observation of foundation excavations prior to placement of forms and
reinforcement.
c. Utility trench backfill.
cl. Hardscape subgrade.
10. Grad ing and Foundation Plan Review
Grading and foundalion plans should be reviewed by the Geotechnical Consultant to
confirm conformance with the recommendations presented herein or to modify the
recommendations as necessary.
