PURPOSE
The development of each site within Palomar Oaks is controlled and
restricted by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
for Palomar Airport Business Park (hereinafter referred to as the
CC & R's), and an Owners Association to carry out the CC & R's and
its own CC & R's (hereinafter referred to as Owners' CC & R's)
and these Design Guidelines, as well as applicable governmental codes
and regulations. The Owners' CC & R's are directed towards achieving
the desired character and quality level of site development that will
set Palomar Oaks apart from other business developments. The purpose of
these Development Guidelines is to further define the requirements which
are specifically and generally stated in the Owners' CC & R's. These
Guidelines are intended to supplement the Owners' CC & R's as an aid
in the submittal of plans for approval by providing more detailed infor-
mation on which to base a review. Any specific conflicts between CC & R's,
Design Guidelines, and governmental codes and regulations, shall be
brought to the immediate attention of Palomar Oaks. In general, however,
the priority of compliance is first with governmental codes and regulations,
second with the CC & R's, and third with the Design Guidelines.
The owners or lessees of each site within Palomar Oaks should familiarize
themselves with the intent and requirements of the CC & R's, these
Guidelines and all applicable governmental codes and regulations, and
through their architects, implement all those provisions applicable to
their specific site developments. All development plans, landscaping
plans and graphic designs, shall be submitted to the Palomar Oaks Development

1.0 INTRODUCTION TO PALOMAR OAKS
Palomar Oaks is to become a unique business community distinguished from
other San Diego business parks. The distinction of Palomar Oaks begins with
its conception as a series of business 'estates' positioned strategically
through the master planned concept offered under the City of Carlsbad's
planned unit development (PUD) ordinance. This conception will be furthered
through an emphasis on quality contemporary site, architectural, landscape
and recreational design.
1.1 LOCATION
Palomar Oaks is located at the entry of the major industrial complex evolving
around the Palomar Airport in northern San Diego County. As the most unusual
part of the Palomar Airport Business Park, a major element of the industrial
complex, Palomar Oaks serves as the gateway to the complex, and can be designed
to cater solely to the most discriminating industrial, R & D and corporate
office users.
1.2 IMMEDIATE SETTING
Palomar Oaks lies in a canyon surrounded by clusters of oaks and dissected
by a natural drainage course that culminates in several lakes that serve
both amenity and drainage control requirements. The private street system
and landscape buffers are designed to provide continuous links for people
movement within the business and recreational environs of the park.
1.3 MASTER PLAN AND STREETSCAPE
The Palomar Oaks Master Plan is organized around a private street system
connecting to the other phases of Palomar Airport Business Park at Camino
de la Roble, as well as providing a primary entry at Palomar Airport Road.
The private street and complementary landscape buffers are designed
1
to provide an exclusive community within a natural setting, with minimum
disruption from development. Approximately 50 percent of Palomar Oaks
will remain in its natural undeveloped state, and the lakes and drainage
system will be controlled but natural in appearance. As a planned unit development,
Palomar Oaks is privately owned in its entirety, including its Street system.
An association, controlled by the owners and land lessees, has been established
to oversee the operations and maintenance of the common areas and to enforce
the proper design and maintenance of the business facilities locating in
the park. Generally, the Committee and Owners Association will retain
ultimate authority to ensure that the intent of Palomar Oaks is carried out
to the greatest extent possible.
Intersections leading into Palomar Oaks will be highlighted by landscape
and graphic design features to establish these locations as gateways to
the park. Recreational opportunities will be available in the form of
tree-laned pathways that unite joqqinq and exercise stations with
business circulation requirements. The lakes will provide settings for
relaxation and picnicking, and the mountainous areas, retained in their
natural setting, will provide trails and picnic areas for horsepeople as
well as the more adventurous hikers and joggers,
1.4 PLANNING AND ZONING
Palomar Oaks is located within the City of Carlsbad. Developments within
Palomar Airport Business Park are currently subject to regulations of the
P.M. Zone of the City of Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance, Palomar Oaks will
operate under the PUD ordinance which provides more flexibility in individual
design in return for compliance with an approved master plan in toto.
Proposed developments will be reviewed by Carlsbad Planning staff for
conformance with the City of Carlsbad Zoning Code and the approved PUD
master plan and building guidelines.
2
1.5 Master Drainaqe Plan
The Coastal Commission and the City of Carlsbad have determined that
Palomar Oaks represents the center of control for all drainage and erosion
eminating from the Palomar Airport Business Park and parts of Palomar
Airport. A drainage system has been designed with the concurrence of
these regulatory entities which will be implemented and maintained by
the Committee and the Palomar Oaks Owners Association.
1.6 PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED USES
In order to achieve the objective of Palomar Oaks as a high quality business
environment, the CC&R's identify uses that are permitted. Although generally
for accordance with the P.M. zone, allowed uses will be carefully monitored.
The following outlines the objectives related to permitting and prohibiting
uses:
Objectives
1. to permit business uses whose facilities will contribute to the
perception of Palomar Oaks as a series of business "estates'
2. to permit business uses which do not, through their operation, produce
objectional visual, sound, smell, or vibrational outputs
3. to permit business uses which are compatible with one another and
cornbatible with existing or planned uses surrounding Palomar Oaks
Guidelines to Permitted Uses
1. Any use or business operation permitted by the current City of Carlsbad
P-M Zoning Ordinance, provided such use is specifically approved in
writing by the Committee. The Committee, however, reserves
the right to refuse any use which they conclude may adversely affect
Palomar Oaks. An approved use shall be performed or carried out
entirely within a building that is so designed and constructed that
the enclosed operations and uses do not cause or produce a nuisance
to adjacent lots or streets such as, but not limited to, vibration,
sound, electro-mechanical disturbances, radiation, air or water
pollution, dust, or emission of odorous, toxic or non-toxic matter
3
including steam. Certain activities which cannot be carried on within
a building may be permitted, provided such activities are specifically
approved in writing by the Committee and further provided such activities
are screened in an acceptable manner so as not to be visible from
neighboring lots and streets.

2.0 APPROVALS AND SUBMITTALS
2.1 Plan Review Process
In order to ensure that the design standards for Palomar Oaks contained
in these guidelines are achieved, a series of plan submissions will be
required at different stages of the design process. The number of plan
submissions will vary depending upon the complexity and timing of a
proposed development. Plan submissions will also be required for sig-
nificant revisions, alterations additions, or change of use for approved
or existing developments within Palomar Oaks,
Required Plan submission shall be submitted to the Committee, care of
Birtcher Pacific, general partner. Each stage of plan submission will
require two (2) sets of plans containing the specific information described
below.
The Committee will review all required plan submissions, All submitted
plans will be reviewed by the Committee for acceptability of design in
compliance with the CC & R's and these Design Guidelines. Upon completion
of review by the Committee, one set of submitted plans will be returned
to the applicant along with a letter summarizing comments, recommendations,
requirements and findings. The length of review by the Committee for
all stages of plan submissions shall not exceed 30 days. The returned
plans will be marked "Approved" or "Approved subject to conditions" or
"Not Approved" with the following intended meanings;
1. "Approved" - approved documents permit the applicant to proceed to
the next stage of the approval process.
2. "Approved subject to conditions" - documents so marked permit the
applicant to proceed to the next stage of the approval process provided
the applicant complies with the conditions specified by the Committee.

2.8 INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW PROCESS
In the course of designing proposed developments for lots within Palomar
Oaks, additional reviews and approvals will be required beyond the Palomar
Oaks design review process. The following summary of Palomar Oaks and
other review and approval processes is included to assist individual
12
applicants in understanding the approximate nature and sequence of those
reviews. An understanding of the total review process from the outset,
it is hoped, will contribute to smoother and more efficient processing
of each proposed development.
1. The design process should begin with a review of the Palomar Airport
Business Park CC & R's, the Owners' CC & R's, and Palomar Oaks Design
Guidelines, and the City of Carlsbad P-M and PUD ordinances. Copies of
the City of Carlsbad Site Development Review applications and submission
requirements should also be obtained at this time.
2. Prior to commencement of design, a qualified civil engineer should be
consulted as to grading and drainage restrictions.
3. Master plan should be submitted to and approved by the Committee.
4. Applicants should review master plans with the City of Carlsbad
Planning Department staff for comments. This is not a required
review but it may help to avoid problems and duplications of work.
5. Master Plans should be reviewed by a qualified civil engineer for
compliance with grading and drainage restrictions.
6. Schematic plan should be submitted to and approved by the Committee.
7. Schematic plans should be reviewed by a qualified civil engineer
for compliance with grading and drainage restrictions.

parking areas as applicable. Specific pad elevations and on-site drainage
plans should be established by the project civil engineer in conjunction
with the guidelines established as part of the master drainage plan.
2. Site grading design should complement and reinforce the architectural
and landscape design character by helping to screen parking, loading,
and service areas, by helping to reduce the perception of height
and mass on larger buildings, by providing reasonable transitions
between on-site uses, by providing elevation transitions contributing
to the efficiency of on-site and off-site movement systems, and by
providing reasonable transitions between lots.
3.16 NUISANCES
Objectives
1. to ensure that no portion of Palomar Oaks is used in such a manner

site or neighboring property or to its occupants. A "nuisance'
shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following conditions:
(a) Any use of the lot or site which emits dust, sweeping, dirt or
cinders into the atmosphere, or discharges liquid, solid wastes
or other harmful matter into any stream, river, or other waterway
which, in the opinion of the Committee, may adversely
affect the health, safety, or comfort of persons within the
area or the intended use of their property. No waste nor
any substance or materials of any kind shall be discharged into
any public sewer serving the subject property or any part
27
thereof in violation of any regulation of any public body
having jurisdiction over such public sewer;
(b) The escape or discharge of any fumes, odors, gases, vapors,
steam, acids or other substances into the atmosphere which

or which may be harmful to property or vegetation;
(c) The radiation or discharge of intense glare or heat or atomic,
electro-magnetic, microwave, ultrasonic, laser or other
radiation. Any operation producing intense glare or heat or
such other radiation shall be performed only within an enclosed
or screened area and then only in such manner that the glare,
or heat or radiation emitted will not be discernible from any
point exterior to the site or lot upon which the operation is
conducted;
(d) Excessive noise. Except as specifically approved by the Committee,
at no point outside of any lot plane shall the sound pressure level of
any machine, device, or any combination of same, from any individual
plant or operation, exceed the decibel levels in the designated

5.0 LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES
The landscape consists of elements that give form to exterior spaces.
Thus, the character of the landscape is created by elements such as streets and
building setbacks, the variety and placement of elements such as signing,
site lighting, walkways, and plant materials, and the arrangement of major
functional elements such as project entrances, parking lots, buildings,
service areas, etc.
Given that project architecture and building sites within Palomar Oaks will
most likely be of varying types and sizes, landscaping (both on-site and
the natural off-site areas) as a design element will play the key role in
creating and conveying the overall character of Palomar Oaks as a parklike"
working environment. The purpose, then, of these Master Landscape Design
Guidelines, is to provide design criteria which will help to ensure that
Palomar Oaks achieves an image that is distinctive, clearly understandable,
and unified.
5.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE PALOMAR OAKS LANDSCAPE CONCEPT
As a part of the Palomar Oaks master plan, a Master Landscape Plan has been
conceived to organize, unify, and create a distinctive character for the whole
of Palomar Oaks. Attached are the conceptual landscape plans and the proposed
pedestrian and equestrian trails, which will be provided by the developer as
part of subdivision improvements, and the sample lot landscape development
plan which has been conceived in accordance with the landscape guidelines
which are provided herein. Each Owner should use this sample plan as a guide-
line in preparing his specific plan,
