separate BMPs? For future submittals, please locate all BMPs
on the Grading Plan or provide a more detailed Site Plan
attached to the WQMP.
c) Per Hydrologic analysis, does the storm tech device significantly

3) All applicable conditions of Tentative Tract SUBTT16157 and
DRC2001-00791 shall also apply to this application.
a) Since Phase II improvements are located on Lot 10, missing
frontage improvements shall be completed for the entire Church
Street frontage of Lot 10 including, but not limited to, property line
adjacent sidewalk, street trees, median landscaping.

whether there is a preferred location for the future emergency access.
a) Prior to the issuance of Building Permits, record an emergency
access easement across Phase I in favor of future development
on Lot 10.
b) If the developer wishes to lock in the location, a stubbed aisle or
drive approach shall be provided off the aisle that parallels the
west property line. Also, provide a gate in the perimeter fencing.
Otherwise, the emergency access easement needs to give the
owner of Lot 10 the right to retrofit the curb, landscaping, and
fence at a future access location.
7) Sidewalk along the bus bay west of the Malaga Drive entrance to
Phase I should be curb adjacent. If the Planning Department requires
a bus shelter or seat wall, that should be shown on the Grading Plan
(outside the public rights-of-way).
