PROJECT DESCRIPTION The La Costa Resort and Spa complex is located on the n o r t h e a s t c o r n e r o f E l C a m i n o R e a l a n d Costa Del Mar Road in the City of Carlsbad, Californ i a . T h e p r o p o s e d p r o j e c t w i l l i n c l u d e t h e construction of 11 resort/residential buildings along with v a r i o u s a s s o c i a t e d s i t e i m p r o v e m e n t s . T h e associated improvements will include reconfigured wa l k w a y s , d r i v e w a y s a n d p a r k i n g a r e a s , landscaped areas and underground utilities. It is our understanding that the proposed resort/residential b u i l d i n g s w i l l b e o f r e l a t i v e l y l i g h t w e i g h t wood-frame and/or steel frame construction and will includ e s u b t e r r a n e a n p a r k i n g l e v e l s . T h e proposed resort/residential buildings will be supported by co n v e n t i o n a l s h a l l o w s p r e a d f o o t i n g s a n d concrete slabs on grade. Based upon preliminary foundation l o a d i n g i n f o r m a t i o n p r o v i d e d b y K S L , we assumed isolated column loads of up to 100 kips and wall l o a d s o f u p t o 5 . 0 k i p s p e r l i n e a r f o o t f o r the resort villas buildings. We also assumed isolated column l o a d s o f u p t o 5 0 k i p s a n d w a l l l o a d s o f up to 3.0 kips per linear foot for the proposed spa buildi n g . G r a d i n g i s a s s u m e d t o i n c l u d e excavation for the proposed subterranean parking levels alo n g w i t h c u t t i n g a n d f i l l i n g o f t h e s u r f a c e soils to construct level building pads and to provide for proper s i t e d r a i n a g e . The proposed resort villas will be constructed within the ce n t r a l p o r t i o n o f t h e L a C o s t a R e s o r t a n d Spa complex in the vicinity of the new spa and ballro o m b u i l d i n g s . T h e m a j o r i t y o f t h e p r o p o s e d resort villas locations are concentrated within existing la n d s c a p e a r e a s b u t s o m e e x i s t i n g s t r u c t u r e s and improvements will be removed to accommodate the n e w b u i l d i n g s . T h e p r o p o s e d b u i l d i n g s i t e s and adjacent areas slope gently downward towards t h e s o u t h b u t s o m e a r e a s i n c l u d e i r r e g u l a r topography related to previous grading and landscaping. The r e a r e s e v e r a l e x i s t i n g b u i l d i n g s i n t h e area including the new ballroom and spa buildings as well as several older structures. There are numerous underground utilities servicing the existing buil d i n g s a n d t r a n s e c t i n g t h e n e w b u i l d i n g areas. Sladden Fn crjnppr;n November 11, 2003 -2- Project No. 444-3161 03-10-183 REGIONAL SEISMICITY A computer program was utilized to compile data related to e a r t h q u a k e f a u l t z o n e s i n t h e r e g i o n a n d related seismic activity that may affect the site. E.Q. Faul t V e r s i o n 3 . 0 0 ( B l a k e 2 0 0 0 ) p r o v i d e s a compilation of data related to earthquake faults in the region. T h e p r o g r a m s e a r c h e s a v a i l a b l e databases and provides both distances to causitive faults and the c o r r e s p o n d i n g a c c e l e r a t i o n s t h a t may be experienced on the site due to earthquake activity alo n g t h e s e f a u l t s . T h e a t t e n u a t i o n relationship utilized for this project was based upon Boore (19 9 7 ) a t t e n u a t i o n c u r v e s . T h e o u t p u t data from this program is included in Appendix C. The inform a t i o n g e n e r a t e d w a s u t i l i z e d i n o u r liquefaction evaluation As indicated on the summary page of the E.Q. Fault output data , t h e R o s e C a n y o n f a u l t i s t h e c l o s e s t to the site (approximately 8.8 kilometers). The Newport-In g l e w o o d ( o f f s h o r e ) f a u l t i s l o c a t e d approximately 16.8 kilometers west of the site. The maximum s i t e a c c e l e r a t i o n i s e s t i m a t e d t o b e 0.332g. This acceleration is based upon a maximum event o f m a g n i t u d e 6 . 9 . LIQUEFACTION Liquefaction occurs with sudden loss of soil strength due to rapid i n c r e a s e s i n p o r e p r e s s u r e s w i t h i n cohesionless soils as a result of repeated cyclic loading during s e i s m i c e v e n t s . S e v e r a l c o n d i t i o n s must be present for liquefaction to occur including; the presenc e o f r e l a t i v e l y s h a l l o w g r o u n d w a t e r , generally loose soils conditions, the susceptibility of soils t o l i q u e f a c t i o n b a s e d u p o n g r a i n - s i z e characteristics and the generation of significant and rep e a t e d s e i s m i c a l l y i n d u c e d g r o u n d accelerations. Liquefaction affects primarily loose, uniform gr a i n e d c o h e s i o n l e s s s a n d s w i t h l o w relative densities. As previously indicated the soils underlying the site consist pri m a r i l y o f a t h i n l a y e r o f s i l t y c l a y s and clayey silts overlying dense silty sands. Groundwater was e n c o u n t e r e d a t v a r y i n g d e p t h s w i t h i n several of our borings. The variable groundwater depths s u g g e s t t h a t t h e w a t e r e n c o u n t e r e d perched may be perched groundwater concentrated within mor e p e r m e a b l e s i l t y s a n d a n d s i l t l a y e r s Based upon the prominence of non-liquefiable silts and clays a n d t h e d e n s e c o n d i t i o n s o f t h e s i l t y sand layers, it is our opinion that the potential for liquef a c t i o n o c c u r r i n g b e n e a t h t h e s i t e i s negligible. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The site soils consist primarily of a surface layer of silty clays an d c l a y e y s a n d s o v e r l y i n g n a t i v e s i l t y sands, sandy silts, silty clays and clayey silts. Silty clays and c l a y e y s a n d s w e r e e n c o u n t e r e d w i t h i n the upper 5 to 10 feet within the majority of our borings. Th e n e a r s u r f a c e s i l t y c l a y l a y e r s w e r e underlain primarily by dense silty sand, sandy silt and silty c l a y l a y e r s . T h e s i t e s o i l s a p p e a r e d fairly consistent in composition but very inconsistent in strati g r a p h y d u e t o t h e v a r y i n g g r a d e s across the site. The native soils underlying the site were found to be firm t h r o u g h o u t t h e d e p t h o f e a c h o f o u r borings. The relatively undisturbed samples obtained indicate d d r y d e n s i t y v a r y i n g f r o m 9 3 t o 1 2 3 pcf. Sampler penetration resistance indicates that dens i t y w i t h i n t h e u n d e r l y i n g n a t i v e s o i l s generally increases with depth. The soils were found to be moist t h r o u g h o u t t h e d e p t h o f o u r b o r i n g s but some nearly saturated soils were encountered. Laboratory t e s t i n g i n d i c a t e s m o i s t u r e c o n t e n t varying from 1.0 to 37.0 percent. cmn'I.

It i s o u r o p i n i o n t h a t r e m e d i a l g r a d i n g w i t h i n the proposed building areas should include the remov a l a n d r e c o m p a c t i o n o f a n y c o m p r e s s i b l e surface soils as well as the primary foundation bearin g s o i l s . S p e c i f i c r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s f o r s i t e preparation are presented in the Site Grading section of t h i s r e p o r t . Groundwater was encountered within several of our bo r i n g s a t d e p t h s a s s h a l l o w a s 9 f e e t b e l o w t h e existing ground surface. Due to the dense condition o f t h e s a n d y s o i l s u n d e r l y i n g t h e s i t e , t h e potential for liquefaction affecting the site is considere d t o b e n e g l i g i b l e .

The site is located in a seismically active area as is all o f S o u t h e r n C a l i f o r n i a . D e s i g n p r o f e s s i o n a l s should be aware of the site setting and the potential f o r e a r t h q u a k e a c t i v i t y d u r i n g t h e a n t i c i p a t e d life of the structure should be acknowledged. The accelerat i o n s t h a t m a y b e e x p e r i e n c e d o n t h e s i t e (as previously discussed) should be considered in design. S e i s m i c d e s i g n p a r a m e t e r s a s o u t l i n e d i n the 1997 UBC are summarized in Appendix C.
