Dear Ms. Schnizler,
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Minor Site Development Plan SOP 2023-
0008 for Lot 6 of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan, SP 211(C). After careful consideration of the
circumstances surrounding this request, the City Planner has made a decision pursuant to Section
21.06.070 of the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code to APPROVE this request based on the following findings
and subject to the conditions listed below.
Findings:
1. That the proposed development or use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
master plan or specific plan, complies with all applicable provisions of Chapter 21.06 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, and all other applicable provisions of this code; in that the project
consists of the development of a 150,700-square foot (SF), 36'-4"-tall light industrial shell
building on a 11.6-acre, previously-graded site identified as Lot 6 of the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan, SP 211(C). Anticipated uses include 34,157 SF of office, 28,400 SF of
manufacturing, 86,483 SF of warehouse, and a 1,660 SF deli. Surface parking for 302 vehicles
(302 required based on current breakdown of uses) will be provided along with a minimum of
9,300 SF of outdoor/indoor employee eating areas. As currently proposed, 2,240 SF of the
employee eating areas will be provided in two mezzanines. Perimeter and parking lot
landscaping, with terraced retaining walls at the rear of the lot up to six (6) feet in height,

drainage facilities and other ancillary improvements are also proposed. Since the building
exceeds 35 feet in height, the landscaped setbacks have been increased accordingly, pursuant
to Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.34.070.2(c).
The proposed shell building is anticipated to be occupied with mix of light industrial uses as well
as an accessory deli use consistent with the Planned Industrial (Pl) General Plan Land Use
designation and the Planned Industrial (P-M) zoning designation. All roadways and
improvements necessary to serve the development exist, and no additional improvements are
required. The project is located outside the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour of the McClellan-
Palomar Airport Land Use Plan.
2. That the requested development or use is properly related to the site, surroundings and
environmental settings, will not be detrimental to existing development or uses or to development
or uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed development or use is to be
located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation; in that the
150,700-square-foot light industrial building has been designed to comply with all applicable
development standards included in the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan and Planned Industrial
(P-M) zone, as well as mitigation measures contained in EIR 98-08. The project will not adversely
impact the site, surroundings, or traffic circulation in that the existing surrounding streets, which
are fully improved, have adequate capacity to accommodate the 1,495 Average Daily Trips
(ADTs) generated by the project. In addition, the internal traffic circulation complies with Fire
Department and Land Development Engineering requirements.
3. That the site for the intended development or use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the use; in that the project complies with all development standards of the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan's Development Standards and Design Guidelines and the Planned Industrial (P-M)
Zone {Chapter 21.34 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code), including setbacks, building coverage,
employee eating areas, landscaping, parking, and height restrictions .
4. That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested development or use to existing or permitted future development or use in the
neighborhood will be provided and maintained; in that the 150,700-square foot, 36'-4"-tall light
industrial building, surface parking, employee eating area, perimeter and parking lot landscape,
drainage facilities and other ancillary improvements fit within the developable area, and all
applicable development standards of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Development
Standards and Design Guidelines and the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone have been met. Parking
and loading areas are screened through the combined use of building orientation and
landscaping. Adequate vehicle circulation has been provided to accommodate truck turning
movements and emergency vehicle access. Access to the site will be provided via driveways off
Whiptail Loop and Caribou Court. A pedestrian connection to the existing sidewalk on Whiptail
Loop will be provided via a sidewalk along the southerly side of the driveway.
5. That the street system serving the proposed development or use is adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed use; in that the proposed light industrial office use is
consistent with the uses analyzed in the circulation analysis prepared for the Final Environmental
Impact Report (EIR 98-08) for the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan. The existing surrounding

streets, which are fully improved, have adequate capacity to accommodate the 1,495 ADTs
generated by the project.
6. That the City Planner finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the
Elements of the city's General Plan and the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan SP 211((), in that

development standards of the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone and the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan; all roadways and improvements necessary to serve the development exist, and no
additional improvements are required; and the project is located outside the 60 dBA CNEL noise
contour of the McClellan-Palomar Airport.
7. That the project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 16 and all city public facility policies and ordinances. The
project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that
all facilities and improvements regarding sewer collection and treatment; water; drainage;
circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries; government
administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new
development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School District
that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
B. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected prior

will be collected at the time of building permit issuance. This fee will be used to construct
recreational facilities to offset demand created by employees within Local Facilities
Management Zone 16.
8. That the project is consistent with the city's Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
9. The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-
Palomar Airport (ALUCP), adopted January 25, 2010 and amended March 4, 2010, in that neither
the structure nor any protrusion will exceed a total elevation of 548 feet above mean sea level
within the airport influence area, and thus will not create any obstructions of navigable air
space . In addition, the project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the ALUCP; and,
based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the ALUCP, the proposed land use is
compatible with the airport, in that the property is not located within any noise contours greater
