Include their dimensions, bearings, line and curve data.All proposed easements must be shown on the plan view with their associated City-assigned drawing numbers (4000 series) for reference. Include their dimensions, bearings and curve data.Sidewalk easements are required for every area where a 4-ft clear ADA pathway cannot be maintained in the right of way. Typically, this may include, sidewalk easements for alley approach crossings, intersection corners above the curb ramps, or on narrow right of ways with utility poles, tree wells, street furniture, etc. impeding on the sidewalk. These Offsite Improvement Plans must refer to the proposed easement by City-assigned drawing number and cannot be approved until the proposed easement is recorded with the County.All developments abutting a substandard alley will be required to provide a dedication to the City for street purposes to widen the alley to 20-feet. For example, if the existing alley is 12-feet wide, the development will dedicate 4-feet to the City so that 20-feet can be achieved when the parcels on the other side of the alley would develop in the future that would provide the same 4 foot dedication. The easement for street purposes will not affect the alley setback requirement by City Planning but will affect the other planning calculations since the property line will be moved on the Assessor’s map when recorded with the county. The easement for street purposes must be clearly depicted on these plans and must be recorded at the County of Los Angeles Recorder prior to the approval of these plans.The construction notes shown on each plan sheet must only include the construction notes used on that plan sheet.Each construction note must be identical to the construction notes shown in the Sections and Details Sheets.All references to other drawings or plans must be clarified to what drawing numbers or where they can be found, specifically. These must be other approved drawings that the City or County maintains records of such as building permit numbers, offsite or utility drawing numbers, or easement records.All streets and alleys must be named correctly.All proposed work must be hatched according to the pavement type and as shown on the legend provided on the Title Sheet or individual sheet.The plan views must clearly label and outline the area of work with a heavy-weight (black) and dashed line style.The plan views must clearly specify how the proposed work will join or transition to the existing improvements such as sawcut and join per SM-9 for joining PCC pavement to PCC pavement and grind and overlay per SM-11 for joining AC pavement to PCC pavement. All existing and proposed utilities must be shown on the plan views as reference including their type of utility, material type, size, and distances to the nearest property line. The locations of the utilities must be coordinated in advance with the respective utility companies and field survey. All public and privately-owned utilities must be shown. This will be verified by the PC Engineer through GIS, Street View, and a site visit if required.All existing and proposed utilities shown on the plan views must be shown using appropriate line styles as follows: —G— for gas; —E— for electrical; T – Telephone; FO – Fiber Optic —X” W— for water (and size); —SL— for streetlight; —X” SS— for sanitary sewer (and size); X” SD – for Storm Drain (and size) etc. All existing and proposed improvements must be shown on the plan views, including but not limited to driveways, ramps, street lights, traffic signals, trees, power poles, fire hydrants, parking meters, signs, pull-boxes, manhole covers, catch basins, gutter, curb drains, bus pads, street furniture, etc. The Plan Check Engineer will verify this by Google Street View and may also verify with a site visit, as necessary, to confirm everything is shown accurately. Every offsite improvement must be shown.Retaining walls and other structures serving the property must be located on private property and are not allowed in the right of way.Stormwater must not be pumped directly to the curb drain. The properties must install a catch basin or some other design on private property to allow stormwater to gravity flow out of the curb drains. Direct connections to City or County catch basins and storm water mains are not allowed.All manhole and vault covers must be shown with their size and distances to the nearest property lines.The stations for all proposed work must be called out on the plans, including but not limited to driveways (centerline station and the “W” and “X” values as described by City Standard Detail SM-5), curb or parkway drains, tree wells (beginning and ending station and the station of the existing or proposed tree), parking meters, bike racks and other street furniture, utility vaults, truncated domes for curb ramps and crossings, street lights, street signs, traffic signals, curb return begin/end, and joins/pavement transitions to the existing improvements.The sidewalk cross slopes must be shown on the plans at every 25-feet and between grade breaks with a preferred maximum cross slope of 1.8% and a required minimum cross slope of 1.0%. A maximum allowed cross slope of 2.0% may be allowed if a 1.8% slope is not possible and as necessary for transitions to existing improvements. Transitioning to existing improvements may be required to go past the project site frontage by up to 10-feet or more as deemed necessary by the City Engineer to ensure a compliant ADA pathway. The existing cross slope that is being joined to must be shown.If approved by the City Engineer, the amenity zone or the area between the clear pedestrian pathway and the curb such as the area between the tree wells or the furniture zone may be allowed to be greater than 2.0% cross slope up to a maximum 7.5% cross slope if necessary to achieve 2.0% cross slope in the clear pedestrian pathway. Before this exception will be considered, the developer must consider modifying the back of walk elevations or top of curb and gutter flowline elevations. Onsite design that did not consider the public right of way is not a reasonable cause to allow this exception, and the onsite design may be required to be modified to accommodate desired back of walk elevations.The elevation grades for the top of curb, gutter flowline, and back of walk at every 25-ft, at a minimum.The elevation grades must be shown at all pavement corners, joins to existing pavement, grade breaks, beginning and end of curves and curb returns, and at all curb ramp corners.All existing elevations and slopes must be shown in parenthesis.The street gutter or alley flowlines must call-out the slope of the flowline as a percentage at every 25-feet and between grade breaks to demonstrate positive mercial or mixed-use developments proposing parking, loading zones, or trash staging areas with access from an existing asphalt concrete alley or plain cement concrete in poor condition as determined by the City Engineer must replace the existing width of the alley (from property line to property line) with a plain cement concrete alley per City Standard Detail SM-3 for the full project site frontage and more as required to join/transition to the existing alley. Multi-family developments proposing ten or more parking spaces with access from an existing asphalt concrete alley or plain cement concrete in poor condition as determined by the City Engineer must replace the existing alley with a plain cement concrete alley per City Standard Detail SM-3 for the full project site frontage and more as required to join/transition to the existing alley. Projects that are joining/transitioning to substandard alleys must improve past the project site frontage on either end of the property for smooth transition. Joining PCC pavement to AC pavement will require a minimum of 10’-6” feet for AC grind and overlay as required per SM-11 for smooth transition. The City Engineer may determine that additional linear feet of alley must be improved for smooth transition.Alleys that cannot achieve positive drainage by extending the scope of the alley replacement due to existing restrictions in the right of way must install a permeable concrete gutter along the centerline/flowline for the alley as directed by the Plan Check Engineer. The permeable concrete gutter must be installed per City Standard Detail SM-1. If the development has multiple levels of subterranean parking that would adversely be impacted by the permeable concrete gutter in the alley, as determined by the development’s geotechnical engineer, the City Engineer may require the development to address the stormwater drainage issues. At the City Engineer’s discretion, the development may be required to install a new stormwater main in the alley connecting to the City stormwater system or install a catch basin with filter insert in the alley per City requirements to collect the stormwater and convey it to the development’s stormwater system. An encroachment agreement for the catch basin in the alley would be required to be executed between the developer and the City requiring the development to maintain the catch basin. The project must not propose any encroachments into the public right of way unless approved by the City Engineer. Encroachments are not approved unless absolutely necessary for development, and all encroachments will require an encroachment agreement/ license agreement with the City that must be referred to on these plans. The encroachment agreement/ license agreement cannot be executed until these plans are approved by the City Engineer. The building permit cannot be approved by Public Works until the encroachment agreement is recorded with the County. The plan view must not propose parkway improvements other than as directed by the City. The installation of bike racks and other street furniture, tree wells, street trees and other plantings, parking meters, etc. must be as directed by the Plan Check Engineer and coordination with other City Departments after their review of the Offsite Plans. The stormwater from onsite must be properly directed to the street through a curb drain(s) or parkway drain(s) installed perpendicular to the right of way. Onsite stormwater must not flow into the alley, over the sidewalk, or onto neighboring parcels. Direct connections to catch basins or storm drain lines are not allowed. There are no exceptions.All existing and proposed service laterals/lines and their connections (domestic water, irrigation water, fire water, recycled water, sewer, underground electric, gas, etc.) must be shown on the plan views including their stations, sizes, types of service, and materials. Proposed sewer services must be a minimum of 6-inches in diameter.Water meters servicing the property must be located in the public right of way if the water meter is 2” or smaller.

The City Traffic Engineer may require the development to install a new crosswalk for the property if an existing crosswalk does not exist within 300-feet of the development and the new development causes increased pedestrian traffic to the parcel. If a new crosswalk is required, the developer will be required to perform a sight-stopping distance evaluation and a street lighting illumination study to determine if the proposed location is feasible. New crosswalks may require curb “bump-outs”, curb ramps, crosswalk striping, curb striping, parking meter removals or relocations, rectangular rapid flash beacons (RRFBs) in each direction, etc..The plans must propose to remove all existing carriage walks and replace with parkway as directed by the Plan Check Engineer.Pavement reconstruction joining to plain cement concrete pavement such as alley approaches or curb gutters must include slurry seal for a minimum of 6” from the face of the concrete pavement and an asphalt mill and overlay per City Standard Detail SM-11.
