Re: CDP 00-52 - Flower Fields Restroom - Request for EIA Fee Refund
Hello Bobbie,
Please find attached a signed request for refund for the above referenced
project. The applicant is requesting a full refund of their EIA fee payment, which
was $1,030. The project was found to be exempt from further environmental
review, thus the refund is acceptable to me.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

NOTICE OF DECISION
January 11, 2001
Michael Cardoza
CB Ranch Enterprises
5600 Avenida Encinas, Suite 106
Carlsbad, CA 92008
SUBJECT: CDP 00-52 - FLOWER FIELDS RESTROOM
The City has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development
Permit for development located at 5702 Paseo Del Norte, APN 211-022-21-00.
It is the Planning Director's determination that the project, CDP 00-52 - Flower Fields
Restroom, is consistent with the applicable City's Coastal Development Regulations
(Chapters 21.201 - 21.205) and all other applicable City Ordinances and policies. The
Planning Director, therefore, APPROVES this request based upon the following:
Findings:
1. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000.
2. That the proposed development requires no other discretionary approvals other
than a Minor Coastal Development Permit.
3. That the development has no adverse effect individually or cumulatively on
coastal resources or public access to the shoreline or coast, in that no coastal
resources or opportunities for coastal access are available from the subject site.
4. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Certified
Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies, in that the site is designated
for industrial uses.
5. That the proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies
of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act in that no opportunities for coastal access are
available from the subject site.
6. That this request for a minor coastal development permit was adequately noticed
at least fifteen (15) working days before the date of this decision pursuant to
1635 Faraday Avenue • Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 • (760) 602-4600 • FAX (760) 602-8559 • www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us

PAGE 2
Section 21.201.080(8) and (C) of the Carlsbad Coastal Development
Regulations.
7. The subject site is located in the Coastal Resources Protection Overlay Zone,
however, due to the absence of slopes steeper than 25% inclination and/or
native vegetation, additional submittals, standards or requirements do not apply.
The project does not require a grading permit.
8. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of
projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a
significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt
from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to
Section 15301 (a), minor alterations to existing facilities, of the state CEQA
Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that
the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not
apply to this project.

issuance of all future building permits; deny, revoke or further condition all
certificates of occupancy issued under the authority of approvals herein granted;
institute and prosecute litigation to compel their compliance with said conditions
or seek damages for their violation. No vested rights are gained by Developer or
a successor in interest by the City's approval of this Coastal Development
Permit.
3. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require the Developer to make, all
corrections and modifications to the Coastal Development Permit documents,
as necessary to make them internally consistent and in conformity with the final
action on the project. Development shall occur substantially as shown on the
approved Exhibits. Any proposed development different from this approval, shall
require an amendment to this approval.
4. The Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and
local laws and regulations in effect at the time of building permit issuance.

invalid this approval shall be invalid unless the City Council determines that the
project without the condition complies with all requirements of law.
6. The Developer/Operator shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect,
defend and hold harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers,
employees, agents, and representatives, from and against any and all liabilities,

Attention: Paul Godwin
RE: CDP 00-52 - FLOWER FIELDS RESTROOM
We have received your comments of October 25, 2000.
response to issues of concern set forth therein.
Planning:
The following is in
1. We will submit a site plan with the Armstrong facility and associated
displays areas and show all existing structures.
2. This restroom structure will be in an area that is being used for farm roads
and buffer area to the parking lot. No area previously used in production
is being affected. The facility is permitted in the open space area
pursuant to the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan (attached).
The location is operationally appropriate because it provides access both for
workers in the field and those people visiting the fields in an area close but not
interfering with access to the fields. The proposed restroom facility substitutes
for portable restrooms, which are placed at different points throughout the fields
and take up significantly more area than the proposed restroom. Trying to locate
in another area will not serve either the existing operations or permit the
continued access and visibility to the fields now provided with the entrance and
the drainage system in place.
With respect to visually screening, the structure is low and will be screened both
by the existing berm planting and existing planting on the fence line adjacent to
the proposed restroom structure. Additionally it is significantly far away from
Palomar Airport Road.

3.
A revised site plan with the Armstrong approved development will be
submitted. Walkways within the Flower Fields are not a part of either the
site plan nor are there any permanent installations. The detention basins
are part of the Flower Field grading shown on the overall site plan and are
not affected by the proposed structure.
Please see the note above with respect to the area with which the
restrooms are being located. The restrooms are accessory to the
operation of the Flower Fields and the visitor serving function that they
carry out as specifically provided in Section III.H.I.a.iii, of the Carlsbad
Ranch Specific Plan (copy attached).
No portion of landscaping, fencing or grading for the restroom proposed is
within the public right-of-way.
4. Will be submitted.
5. As noted above the facility is not proposed on any desiltation of NPDES
basin. The location is functionally important for operations of the Flower
Fields and consistent with the Carlsbad Ranch specific plan for uses
within the open space area.
After you receive the foregoing we would appreciate meeting to resolve any
remaining issues so that the matter may proceed as early as possible.

Planning:
None.
Engineering:
None.
ISSUES OF CONCERN
Planning:
1. Please show all existing structures on your site plan, to include the windmill,
Armstrong Nursery Center, walk ways and display areas.
2. Planning Department staff, does not support the removal of any portion of the
flower fields for the restroom facility. Please consider locating the restroom facility
outside the Flower Fields open space, closer to the approved Nursery Center and
parking lot. This will also help to visually screen the structure from Palomar Airport
Road.
Engineering:
1. The site plan-should show all approved development on the Flower Field Site. The
approved "Armstrong Nursery Center", Windmill, Coffee Stand, and the Detention
Basins installed as a part of the Flower Field Grading as well as walk ways and the
Flower Field trail system.
2. The sewer system has an existing service and cleanout that serves the Nursery.
Show point of connection (at cleanout) and size of the line. Please submit the
applicable section of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan that allows for a restroom in
the flower field easement as proposed.
3. Please indicate on the site plan, the document or encroachment agreement that
permits landscaping, fencing and grading within the public right of way (Palomar
Airport Road). The existing open space documents should be provided to
demonstrate the ability to encroach into this area.
4. Please show the complete water system including Offsite looped or connecting
systems.
5. The proposed restroom appears to be located on top of an important desiltation or
NPDES Basin. The general location of the restroom is not supported from an
Engineering point of view. We recommend relocating the structure outside of the
Flower Field Open Space, closer to the approved Nursery facility and parking lot.
