Site Location and Description
The site is located south of Cannon Road and north of the Legoland Family Park within the
Carlsbad Ranch development in Carlsbad, California (Figure I). Carlsbad Ranch, is an irregular-
shaped complex encompassing approximately 548 acres. Carlsbad Ranch is bounded by Palomar
Airport Road on the south, Car Country Carlsbad and Paseo Del Norte on the west, Agua
Hedionda Lagoon on the north and Hidden Valley Road and undeveloped land within a north-
south trending canyon on the east. The proposed Planning Area 5 Resort is being considered
within Lot 17 of the Carlsbad Ranch development. Lot 17 encompasses approximately 53 acres
in the northeast comer of the Carlsbad Ranch development and is situated north of Lot 18 which
is occupied by the Legoland California Theme Park.
Topographically, the site area is characterized by a northwest-southeast trending ridge.
Elevations of the subject site range from approximately 180 feet mean sea level (ms!) on the west
side of the property to approximately 250 feet ms! on the ridgeline along the eastern edge of the
property. Natural slopes on the site are relatively gentle, however, a near vertical slope is present
parallel and adjacent to the eastern property line. This near vertical slope is estimated to vary in
height from ±10 to ±40 feet.
Existing improvements are generally related to past and present agricultural activities on the site.
Existing improvements include irrigation lines and valves, agricultural storage yard and city
water lines supplying the water reservoir located along the east side of the site. Other unknown
buried improvements may also exist.
I .3 Proposed Development
Based on or review of the Conceptual Site Development Plan included in this report as
Plate 2 (KIT Abayashi Design Studio, 2001) and our understanding of the project, future use of
the site will include the construction of a resort development which includes a 350 room hotel
with underground parking, a number of villas, 2 restaurants, meeting rooms, swimming pools,
and associated improvements (e.g. driveways, parking, landscaping, utilities etc.). Based on
review-of the site tentative map; proposed grading is anticipated to consist of cuts and fills to
create the building pads, driveways, and other improvements within the site. Maximum depth~ of
cut and fill on the order of ±20 feet from existing site elevations are anticipated.

Previous Subsurface Exploration and Laboratory Testing
A previous subsurface investigation of the Carlsbad Ranch was performed on September, 1995
and included of the excavation, logging, and sampling of 2 small-diameter borings and 4 large-
diameter exploratory borings/within the site (Leighton, 1995). The borings were excavated to a
maximum depth of 41 feet. using a truck mounted hollow-stem auger for the small-diameter
borings, an9 a bucket ~uger for the large-diameter borings. AH borings were logged and sampled
by our geologist and backfilled upon completion. The small-diameter borings have been
designated SD-3 and SD-I 0, the large-diameter borings have been labeled LB-3, LB-5, LB-6, and
LB-7. Logs of these borings are included as Appendix B. The locations of the previous
exploratory excavations are indicated on the Geotechnical Map (Plate I). This previous study
was performed as part of a general evaluation of the Carlsbad Ranch development.

3.0 SUMMARY OF GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
Regional Geology
The site is located within the coastal subprovidence of the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic
Providence, near the western edge of the southern California batholith. The topography at the edge
of the batholith changes from rugged landforms developed on the batholith to the more subdued
landforms which typify the softer sedimentary formations of the coastal plain.
The site is underlain by Terrace Deposits formed by sea level changes during late Quaternary time.
These soils were deposited on wave cut platforms on the underlying Santiago Formation.
Site Geology
As encountered during previous site investigations and our review of geotechnical reports applicable
to the site (Appendix A), Lot 17 of the Carlsbad Ranch is underlain by bedrock units consisting of
the Santiago Formation and Terrace Deposits. The areal distributions and stratigraphy of the units
are shown on the Geotechnical Map (Plate 1) and Geologic Cross Section E-E'. Undocumented fills
associated with previous farming activities are also anticipated within portions of the site.
Descriptions of each of the units are presented below. While colluvial soils are likely present, they
are undifferentiated from the disturbed Terrace Deposits and undocumented fills.
3.2.l Santiago Formation (Map Symbol-Ts)
The bedrock unit underlying the entire site is the Tertiary-aged Santiago Formation. In
general, the unit consists of massive to thickly bedded sandstone with interbedded clayey
siltstone and silty claystone. The sandstone consists primarily of light gray, light brown,
and light yellow-brown, moist, dense, silty, fine-to occasionally medium-grained
sandstone. The sandstone is generally friable, slightly micaceous and massive. The
siltstone consisted of medium brown and olive-brown, moist, stiff, clayey siltstones that
were fissile to indistinctly bedded and contained calcium carbonate, manganese-oxide and
iron-oxide staining. The claystone is typically gray to brown, moist, stiff to hard, fine-
grained, sandy to silty claystone that was moderately sheared.
3.2.2 Terrace Deposits {Map Symbol-Qt)
Quaternary-aged Terrace Deposits overlie the Santiago Formation in most areas of the site.
These deposits generally consist of orange to red brown, damp to moist, medium dense,
silty fine-to medium-grained sand. The upper portion of the Terrace Deposits (generally
the upper 4 to 6 feet typically highly weathered and/or disturbed by the agricultural
activities of the site and is anticipated to be slightly porous and potentially compressible.
Localized deeper accumulations of weathered soils should be anticipated in the drainage
along the western portion of the site and within the area northeast of the water tanks. In
general, the Terrace Deposits have a very low to low expansion potential. With the
exception of the upper weathered zone, the Terrace Deposits have favorable engineering
-5-
3.3
040575-001
properties and are suitable to receive the proposed improvements. The weathered/disturbed
portion of the Terrace Deposits will require removal and recompaction in areas of
proposed/disturbed improvements or fill soils.
3.2.3 Undocumented Fill (Unmapped)
Undocumented fill soil is anticipated on the site in various locations and is expected to
consist of minor fills placed to create unimproved farm roads, end-dumped piles, and utility
trench backfill. In addition to these areas, based on previous experience on other areas of
Carlsbad Ranch, we anticipate that some previous filling of drainage alignments and
smoothing of the natural terrain was performed to facilitate onsite agricultural uses.
However, based on aerial photographic review and site reconnaissance, there appears to be
no major areas of undocumented fills present on site which would require extensive
remedial grading. In their present state, undocumented fills are not suitable for the support
of additional fills and/or structural loads. These undocumented fill soils, where present,
soils should be removed to expose competent material in areas of proposed additional fill or
improvements.
Geologic Structure
Based on our review of the geologic mapping completed during the nearby rough grading
operations, literature review and our professional experience on nearby sites, the geologic units are
generally massive with no apparent bedding. However, based on our professional experience in the
area, the contact with the underlying Santiago Formation is anticipated to be relatively gently
dipping (i.e., 5 to 10 degrees) to the west. Based on our previous field explorations and a review of
published geologic maps of the site and vicinity, no active faults have been mapped ·or were
encountered on or immediately adjacent to the site. The significance of faulting is discussed in the
following section on faulting and seismicity.
3 .4 Mass Movement
Based on our review of the previous geotechnical reports, available geologic literature, maps, and .
aerial photographs, no indication of mass movements such as deep-seated landslides, were observed
within the site. Some sloughing and slumping can be observed in the near vertical slope along the
easterly property line.
-6-
040575-001
3 .5 Ground Water
3.6
3.7
Ground water and/or seepage conditions were encountered during our previous site exploration in
Borings LB-5 and LB-6 at respective depths of 31 and IO feet below the existing ground surface.
Ground water was also encountered during previous grading for Lego land Family Park adjacent to
the southwesterly portion of the site, and a subdrain was installed to direct water away from this
area. The ground water is believed to be perched on the contact between the overlying Terrace
Deposits and underlying Santiago Formation.
Seepage was also subsequently observed within Legoland East Expansion area. This seepage was
observed along a clayey bed within the relatively porous Terrace deposits near the relatively dense
(less permeable) Tertiary Santiago Formation. Local areas of lush vegetation in the open space
natural canyon area east of the site also indicates the likely presence of a zone of perched water.
The proposed site development will include cuts that may extend down to the depth where previous
ground water and/or seepage conditions were encountered As a result, to further mitigate the
potential for accumulation of a shallow perched groundwater condition, we recommend additional
subdrains and interceptor drains be installed during site grading and for· all retaining wall. The
locations of the proposed subdrains should be determined after additional field investigation and/or
during the site grading operations.
Faulting
Our discussion of faults on the site is prefaced with a discussion of California legislation and
policies concerning the classification and land-use criteria associated with faults. By definition of
the California Mining and Geology Board, an active fault is a fault that has had surface
displacement within Holocene time ( about the last I 1,000 years). The state geologist has defined
a potentially active fault as any fault considered to have been active during Quaternary time (last
1,600,000 years). This definition is used in delineating Earthquake Fault Zones as mandated by
the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act and as subsequently revised in 1997. The intent
of this act is to assure that unwise urban development and certain habitable structures do not
occur across the traces of active faults. The subject site is not included within any Earthquake
Fault Zones as created by the Alquist-Priolo Act (Hart, 1997).
Our review of available geologic literature (Appendix A) indicates that there are no known major
or active faults on or in the immediate vicinity of the site. The nearest known active regional
fault is the Rose Canyon Fault Zone located approximately 4.8 miles west of the site. However,
fault segments has been mapped to the northeast and east of the site, but are believed to be
inactive.
Seismicity
The site can be considered to lie within a seismically active region, as can all of southern
California. Site specific evaluation of the earthquake hazard was performed using a deterministic
and a probabilistic approach. The earthquake source data used for deterministic evaluation of the
design ground motion was obtained from the California Division of Mining and Geology
-7-
040575-001
(CDMG, Open File Report 96-08). A summary of our deterministic evaluation is provided in
Table 1.
Table I
Seismic Parameters for Active Faults
(Blake, 20000, CDMG, 1996)
Distance Maximum Magnitude Earthquake
Fault from Fault to Moment Peak Ground Acceleration
Site (Miles) Magnitude (g)
Rose Canyon 4.8 6.9 0.50
Newport-7 6.9 0.41 Inglewood
Coronado Bank 21 7.4 0.24
Based on a deterministic approach, Table 1 presents the peak ground. accelerations that we
postulate could be produced by an earthquake of the maximum moment magnitude on the
respective fault. The maximum moment magnitude earthquake is defined as the maximum event
that a fault is capable of producing considering the known tectonic setting. Site-specific seismic
parameters reported are the distances to the causative faults, earthquake magnitudes, and expected
peak ground accelerations. As indicated in Table 1, the Rose Canyon Fault Zone is considered to
have the most significant affect at the site from a design standpoint. The maximum moment
magnitude earthquake is expected to produce a peak ground surface acceleration at the site of
0.50g. The Rose Canyon Fault Zone is considered a Type B seismic source according to Table
16-U of the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC).
The effect of seismic shaking may be mitigated by adhering to the Uniform Building Code and
state-of-the-art seismic design parameters of the Structural Engineers Association of California.
The site is located within Seismic Zone 4 as designated by the Uniform Building Code (ICBO,
1997, Figure 16-2). The soil profile designation for the site is estimated to be type Sc per the 1997
UBC, Table 16-J. However, we recommend deep borings be performed to confirm the soil profile
type. In lieu of performing deep borings, a soil profile designation of S0 may be assumed in
design. Near source factors Na and Nv for the site equal to 1.0 and 1.1, respectively, are
appropriate based on the seismic setting and criteria of Tables 16-S and 16-T of the 1997 UBC.
Secondary effects that can be associated with severe ground shaking following a relatively large
earthquake include shallow ground rupture, soil liquefaction and dynamic settlement, seiches and
tsunamis. These secondary effects of seismic shaking are discussed in the following sections.
3.7.1 Shallow Ground Rupture
Ground rupture because of active faulting is not likely to occur on site due to the absence
of known active faults. Cracking due to shaking from distant seismic events is not
considered a significant hazard, although it is a possibility at any site.
-8-
3.8
040575-001
3.7.2 Liquefaction and Dvnamic Settlement
Liquefaction and dynamic settlement of soils can be caused by strong vibratory motion
due to earthquakes. Both research and historical data indicate that loose, saturated,
granular soils are susceptible to liquefaction and dynamic settlement. Liquefaction is
typified by a loss of shear strength in the affected soil layer, thereby causing the soil to
liquefy. This effect may be manifested by excessive settlements and sand boils at the
ground surface.
The Terrace Deposits are not considered liquefiable due to their physical characteristics
and unsaturated condition. The Santiago Formation, which may be below the water table
at depth, is not considered liquefiable due to its high-density characteristics and indurated
nature.
3.7.3 Tsunamis and Seiches
Based on the distance between the site and large, open bodies of water, and the elevation
of the site with respect to sea level, the possibility of seiches and/or tsunamis is
considered to be very low.
Existing Slope Conditions
A graded cut slope exists on the south side of the site within an inclination of approximately 2: 1
(horizontal to vertical). Slopes having inclinations steeper than 2: 1 should be considered temporary
slopes and should be regraded at maximum slope inclinations of 2: 1 (unless properly designed with
a retaining wall structure). Along the eastern portion of the site at the top of the open space area
exists localized areas with near vertical slope. A slope setback is recommended for structures near
these areas. For planning purposes, we would suggest a setback that is equivalent to a 2 to I slope
(horizontal to vertical) projected upward from the base of the near vertical section.
3 .9 Expansion Potential
The anticipated expansion potential of the soils encountered within Lot 17 of the Carlsbad Ranch
are described as follows:
• Terrace Deposits: Very low to low expansion potential. This is the predominant soil type at-
grade within the site.
• Santiago Formation: Low expansion potential for silty sandstone, medium to high for sandy to
clayey siltstones and high to very high for the silty claystones. This soil type will likely be
encountered in the northern portion of the site and in area of deep cuts.
Expansion testing of representative soils in proposed building areas should be performed to better
assess the expansion potential of the soils near the proposed finish grade so that to develop
foundation recommendations and/or selective grading recommendations.
-9-
040575-001
3. IO Soil Corrosivity
The test results from the previous investigations performed for the Carlsbad Ranch project and
adjacent tracts indicate the onsite soils derived from Terrace Deposits possess a negligible to minor
soluble sulfate content and a very mild to moderate potential for corrosion to buried metals.
Material derived from the Santiago Formation have been found on nearby sites to present a
negligible to severe potential for sulfate attack and moderate to high potential for corrosion of
buried metals to minor soluble sulfate content and a very mild to high potential for corrosion to
buried metals. Laboratory testing of finish grade soils at-grade or in contact with concrete and/or
buried metal conduits should be performed once site-specific plans are developed.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the findings of this geologic reconnaissance, it is our professional opinion that development of
the site is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.
Based on conceptual site development plans, we anticipate shallow remedial grading along with proposed
cuts and fills will generally be required to prepare the site to receive the proposed improvements. The
presence of granular Terrace Deposits at-grade is considered conducive to either conventional or post-
tensioned shallow foundations. Measures to mitigate ground water should be anticipated.
-11-
040575-00]
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
From our limited study of the site to date, it is our opinion that construction of the proposed 53-acre resort
is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. Detailed geotechnical studies including further subsurface
exploration will be needed to provide m~re specific design recommendations. Additional investigation
should include a more extensive subsurface investigation, laboratory testing, geotechnical analysis, and
preparation of a preliminary geotechnical report presenting our recommendations concerning site grading,
development, and engineering design parameters.
