II. PROJECX DESQUPnON AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting several discretionary approvals for a 62 acre property located
on the south side of Palomar Airport Road east of Paseo Del Norte. This property is the
site of a previously approved nine lot business park (CT 87-2) containing eight industrial
lots, one open space lot and one remainder parcel. A signalized intersection was approved
on Palomar Airport Road to provide access to the site. Access was also approved on Paseo
Del Norte. The proposed Price Club project would gain access at both of the previously
approved locations. The area of the site to be developed has been graded in conformance
with the approved business park plans. Regrading of the site will be necessary for the
proposed project.

Discretionary approvals required for the proposed Price Club project include: (1) adoption
of a Conditional Negative Declaration, (2) a General Plan Amendment from PI (Planned
Industrial) to RRE (Extensive Regional Retail) on 23.6 acres, (3) a Local Coastal Plan
Amendment from PI (Planned Industrial) to RFE (Extensive Regional Retail) on 23.6 acres,
(4) a Zone Change from P-M-Q (Planned Industrial, Qualified Development Overlay Zone)
to C-2-Q (General Commercial, Qualified Development Overlay Zone) on 23.6 acres, (5)
a Site Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Hillside Development Permit for the
development of the property, and (6) a Minor Subdivision to create four parcels out of the
entire 62 acre property.
The proposed project consists of a 121,388 sq. ft. Price Club Discount Store containing a
tire center, optical center and a small exterior eating establishment (pizza, hot dogs, etc.).
Also proposed is a graded pad adjacent to Paseo Del Norte for a future 15,000 sq. ft. office
building and a graded pad adjacent to Palomar Airport Road west of the signalized access
to the site for a future 5,000 sq. ft. retail building. Development of these pads will require
approval of an amendment to the site development plan for the property.
The Price Club Discount Store building contains a ground floor area of 1 17,188 sq. ft. and
a mezzanine level with an area of 4,200 sq. ft. The ground floor area contains 87,588 sq.
ft. of retail area, a 21,600 sq. ft. receiving area with ten roll-up doors, a 600 sq. ft. food
concession area, six autocenter senrice bays totalling 3,600 sq. ft., a 3,000 sq. ft. tire
storage area, and an 800 sq. ft. tire sales/display area. The 4,200 sq. ft. mezzanine
contains administrative offices, two employee break rooms, and employee lockers.
The building will be constructed of tilt up concrete panels. The base of the building will
contain an exposed aggregate finish. A series of eight inch accent reveals are also proposed
along each elevation of the building to further enhance the structure. The accent reveals
will be dark gray, with sections of the walls separated by the reveals being either light or
medium gray in color. Adjacent to the main entrance in the northeast comer of the
building is an entry canopy which reaches a width of 20 feet. Wall signage for the Price
Club is proposed to be bright blue in color.
An outdoor employee eating area is proposed adjacent to the southeast comer of the
building. The eating area will have a shade trellis with a concrete frame and wood infill.
Concrete screen walls Varying in height from 7-6” to 11’-6’ are proposed on the south side
of the building to screen the truck area, pallet yard and trash compactors from view to the
east and west. A 12’ high chain link fence with saran screen and vines is proposed to screen this area from view to the south. The building height will vary from 28’ to 32’
based on the adjacent ground elevations. The entry canopy has a maximum height of 22’.

APRIL 3, 1991
The size of the parking area for the Price Club has resulted in the need to provide a
considerable amount of landscaping to help lessen the impact of a large asphalt surface.
A total of six percent of the parking area will be landscaped in comparison to the Zoning
Ordinance requirement for three percent. Six foot wide landscape planters border the main
circulation aisles. Intermediate landscape islands are 5 feet by 18 feet long and are offset
throughout the parking area. A 50 foot landscaped setback is provided adjacent to Palomar
Airport Road. A three foot high berm is proposed along the Palomar Airport Road frontage
of that area of the site to be developed at this time. Planter widths of 6, 15, and 20 feet are provided adjacent to the north and west building elevations to allow enough room for
landscaping which will compliment the structure to grow to maturity. All trees to be used
on the site will be a minimum size of 24 inch box and all shrubs will be a minimum size
of five gallon. Parking lot cart storage areas will be provided and will be located adjacent
to intermediate landscape islands in most cases.
As stated in the Environmental Impact Assessment - Part 11 completed for this project,
approximately 21.99 acres of the site will be graded. This affects the area previously
graded and currently fenced. The grading is necessary to create a pad to accommodate
the proposed building. The section of this staff report dealing with the Hillside
Development Permit addresses grading for the site in more detail.
The proposed minor subdivision will create four parcels on the 62 acre property. Parcel
1 totalling 23.6 acres will contain the area for the Price Club Store and the pad for the
future retail building adjacent to Palomar Airport Road. Parcel 2 will contain a 15 acre
open space parcel on the southern portion of the site. Parcel 3 will contain 3.4 acres and
a building pad adjacent to Paseo Del Norte for future development consistent with the
existing TWO (Travel Services CommerciaVProfessional and Related) General Plan
Designation and R-P (Residential Professional) Zone. Parcel 4 will contain a 20 acre
remainder parcel.
As stated previously, the area of the project site proposed to be developed has been
previously graded in conformance with approval for a business park project. The area
north of Palomar Airport Road is used for agriculture. Adjacent property to the south is
developed With the Sea Gate Village 286 condominium unit project. Property to the east
is undeveloped. To the west is Nurseryland, a Caltrans storage yard and an office building.
Approximately 20 letters of opposition to the project as well as a signed petition have been
received to date. The letters and petition are on file in the Planning Department. The
letters are primarily from the residents in the Alta Mira Project. It should be noted that
the signatures on the petition date from December 1989 to May 1990 which is prior to project redesign so that it is not known whether the level of project opposition still exists.
Also on file are 560 post cards from Carlsbad Price Club members indicating support for
the project.

Traffic
The Price Club property is fronted on the north by Palomar Airport Road and on the west
by Paseo Del Norte. Palomar Airport Road is classified in the circulation element as a
prime arterial road with a total of six travel lanes. Paseo Del Norte is classified as a
secondary arterial with four travel lanes. Currently, both roads are fully improved to City
standard requirements along the project frontage with the exception of sidewalks, street
lights and median landscape treatment on Palomar Airport Road.
Access to the Price Club site is proposed at three locations. The primary access is proposed
along Palomar Airport Road at the east end of the project site. This access would be fully
signalized and provide for left turn movements into and out of the site. The signalized
access coincides with the signalized intersection location approved by City Council for the
previously approved Carltas Ranch Industrial Park. This signalized intersection will
ultimately provide access to the undeveloped properties to the north of Palomar Airport
Road, A second right in/out only access is proposed along Palomar Airport Road at the
west end of the project site. The second access is needed to facilitate truck access to the
Price Club loading bays and to more evenly distribute traffic to the interior of the project.
In the future, this second access will potentially be utilized as access for the existing
Nurseryland property as well as the Caltrans maintenance facility should it ever be
converted to development. The third access point is from Paseo Del Norte. This access
will not be signalized but will allow for both left and right turns into and out of the project
site for automobiles once the interchange improvements are completed. The purpose of
this requirement is to reduce the potential traffic impacts associated with customers
impacting Paseo Del Norte south of the project in advance of I-S/Palomar Airport
Road/Paseo Del Norte improvements. Until the interchange improvements are completed,
access will be limited to delivery trucks only. Since Paseo Del Norte south of the Price
Club site is not an approved truck route, truck traffic will only be allowed north of the
service driveway.
Internal site traffic will be distributed throughout the parking lot area along several core
isle ways which are free of parking stalls. Vehicular access from Palomar Airport Road to
Paseo Del Norte through the parking lot is possible; however, it involves making numerous
turning movements. For this reason, short circuiting of traffic through the site should not
be a major concern.
The primary traffic issues raised by this project are as follows:
1. Conformance with circulation standards of the Growth Management
Program. Specific problem areas include the Palomar Airport Road/I-5
interchange, Paseo Del Norte/Palomar Airport Road intersection, Palomar
Airport Road/El Camino Real intersection and Palomar Airport Road east of
El Camin0 Real.

2. Conflict of Price Club generated traffic with existing traffic volumes to be
routed through the construction zone on Palomar Airport Road when the
bridge widening project over I-5 begins.
3. Temporary and long term increase of traffic on Paseo Del Norte through the
Alta Mka residential area, especially truck traffic.
4. Disruption of progression of through traffic on Palomar Airport Road.
5. Provision of traffic access to adjacent properties.
6. Potential relocation of Paseo Del Norte through the Price Club property.
Each of these issues will be discussed separately in the following paragraphs.
The proposed Price Club project will significantly increase the amount of traffic on
adjoining City streets over the previously approved industriaVoffice uses. The traffic study
prepared for the project estimates that all proposed uses on the project site will generate
an average daily traffic (ADT) of 8,410 vehicles into and out of the site. This compares
with 4,800 ADT which was projected for the existing approved industrial project at this
same site. The traffic study provides details on the estimated distribution of this traffic
onto the City street system and calculates the impacts to the street network and various
intersections in accordance with the requirements of the growth management program.
Regardless of this project, there are two previously identified locations where the adopted
performance standard is not met for roads or intersections impacted by traffic generated
by Zone 5 of which this project is included. The adopted performance standard is not met
for the Palom& Airport Road/El Camino Real intersection and Palomar Airport Road east
of El Camino Real. Both of these locations were previously identified as not meeting the
adopted performance standard and an appropriate financing mechanism to correct the
deficiencies was approved by the City Council. The proposed conditions of approval
include provision for the Price Club project to contribute to financing the improvements
needed to bring the intersection and road segment that do not meet the adopted
performance standard into conformance with the adopted performance standard.
This project is expected to generate additional traffic sufficient to cause the intersection of
Palomar Airport Road and Paseo Del Norte to not meet the adopted performance standard. The traffic study contains recommended improvements to mitigate the intersection to bring
it into conformance with the adopted performance standard. These recommended
improvements essentially include the addition of dual left turn lanes on all legs of the intersection. A condition to accomplish this mitigation is included in the proposed
conditions of approval.

The traffic study for this project, as well as the recently completed traffic circulation
monitoring report prepared by JHK & Associates, indicates that the intersection of Palomar
Airport Road and the 1-5 on/off ramps has dropped below the adopted performance
standard. The City is well along in process of preparing improvement plans for the
widening of the freeway overpass and ramps including installation of traffic signals;
however, financing of the interchange project is not yet guaranteed to be in place when
needed. The currently proposed financing mechanism is the Mello Roos District which will
be voted upon by the property owners in the near future. Should the Mello vote fail, no
building permits, grading permits or final maps will be issued for this project or any other
project in Zone 5 until an alternate financing plan for the interchange is approved by City
Council in accordance with the Growth Management Program.
In the event that the Price Club is approved and the Mello Roos District or other financing
mechanism for the interchange is also approved, it is probable that the Price Club could
open at some point in time before construction of the interchange is 100% complete. This
would expose the interchange construction site to additional traffic. The Price Club traffic
study proposes several mitigation measures to mitigate this impact. It is the opinion of
staff that most of the proposed mitigation would not be effective due to the complexity of
the construction detouring. The Price Club applicant has proposed alternative mitigation
which consist of closing the Price Club store during the peak traffic loading periods.
Because the Price Club does not open during the AM peak hour, the closure would be
limited to the afternoon peak period which occurs between 4 PM and 6 PM on weekdays.
Staff agrees that such a closure would have some benefit and has included the daily two
hour closure as a proposed condition of the project. The afternoon closure would remain
in effect until the City Engineer determines that the interchange constmction has provided
adequate capacity to accommodate the increased traffic.
Another identified traffic issue is the proposed Price Club access to Paseo Del Norte. There
is some concern that the Price Club traffic will adversely affect the nearby residents south
of the project site specifically with regard to construction and truck traffic. Paseo Del
Norte has previously been designated as a non-truck route south of the project site. Staff
believes the Paseo Del Norte access will not unduly attract additional traffic to Paseo Del
Norte after completion of the 1-5 bridge improvements. The traffic study indicates that
only 5% of the Price Club traffic would ultimately use this access. To reduce truck traffic
at this location, the applicant has proposed the addition of the previously discussed
secondary Palomar Airport Road right turn Wout access. This secondary access point
provides a reasonably direct truck access to the Price Club loading area off Palomar Airport
Road from 1-5. The existing truck prohibition on the southerly portion of Paseo Del Norte
would remain in effect. Staff is recommending that the project be conditioned to install an
automatic gate across the Paseo Del Norte entrance to prohibit customer access into the
Price Club from this direction until after the interchange construction is completed. This
will help reduce the likelihood of vehicles using Paseo Del Norte to access the Price Club
in order to avoid the Palomar Airport Road interchange construction zone.

Another project concern is that the Price Club access on Palomar Airport Road could
potentially obstruct eastbound through traffic. To mitigate this impact, an additional
combined acceleration/deceleration lane is proposed to be constructed on the south side
of Palomar Airport Road along the project frontage.
The boundary lines of the project site wrap around several properties which have limited
access to Palomar Airport Road and Paseo Del Norte requiring staff to consider how this
project relates to the ultimate development of these adjacent properties. After reviewing
the potential needs, it was determined that the best method to provide for any future
development would be to condition the project to provide reciprocal access rights to the
adjacent properties through the private parking lot. Such reciprocal access rights provide
additional justification for installation of the right turn idout on Palomar Airport Road and
for the proposed traffic signal.
The ha1 traffic issue raised was the potential relocation of Paseo Del Norte easterly
through the project site. The previous project approval for the Carltas Ranch industrial
project included a condition to reserve a portion of the site in the event it was determined
to realign Paseo Del Norte. The City Council recently commissioned JHK & Associates to
investigate this alternative design as part of an overall program to investigate the
operational characteristics of Palomar Airport Road adjacent to the 1-5 interchange. The
report did indicate that overall traffic flow would improve slightly with such a realignment;
however, the incremental improvement was not expected to raise the service level.
Considering the potential negative impact of cutting off existing businesses and the
financial and environmental impacts of constructing the realigned road, staff recommends
not pursuing the matter with this application. No conditions to retain any future access
for the realignment of Paseo Del Norte on the Price Club site is included in the proposed
conditions of approval for this project.
III. ANALYSIS

PAGE 8
DISCUSSION
Development of the proposed Price Club Store on this site requires the approval of a
General Plan and Local Coastal Plan Amendment on the 23.6 acre "parcel 1" to be created.
The applicant is requesting that the designation on that proposed parcel be changed from
Planned tndustrial (PI) to Extensive Regional Retail (RRE). Because the Local Coastal Plan
land use designation for the site is the same as the General Plan designation, an
amendment to the Mello I1 Local Coastal Plan is also required.
The existing General Plan designation of PI would allow industrial development including
manufacturing, warehousing, storage, research and development, and utility use. The
proposed RRE designation allows a wide range of commercial establishments dealing in
large, low volume items. Because of the types of items sold and the infrequency of
purchase, customers are willing to travel greater distances to compare price and quality.
Uses falling into this classification seek locations accessible to a large population because
they have a relatively low patron frequency. The General Plan Land Use Element states
that the location of these uses should be at the intersections of primary streets, or near
these intersections along a major arterial. The proposed site meets this requirement as it
is located adjacent to Palomar Airport Road, a Prime Arterial approximately 1,740 feet east
of its intersection, with Paseo Del Norte a Secondary Arterial. In addition, the site is
approximately 2,240 feet east of Interstate 5.
The proposed change in land use is supported by numerous policies found in the Land Use
Element of the General Plan. The most applicable policies are as follows:
A) Permit the development of land only after adequate provision for services
such as transportation, water, sewerage, utilities and public facilities.
€3) Arrange land uses so that they preserve community identity and are orderly,
functionally efficient, healthful, convenient to the public and aesthetically
pleasing.
C) Discourage strip commercial development.
D) Locate major commercial and industrial centers in areas which are easily
accessible to major transportation facilities.
K) Encourage the types of commercial and industrial activities which will supply
the city with a broad economic base, provide for the social need and reflect
all environmental constraints.
The proposed change in land use designation is appropriate as necessary services are
currently provided to the site and will be improved as required such as circulation system
improvements that will be made a condition of the associated Site Development Plan. The
proposed site contains adequate separation from residential land uses and will be located
in an area with easy access to a large population. Properties east of the site on Palomar

Airport Road are presently designated PI which results in the conclusion that the proposal
is not creating strip commercial development. In regard to policy "D", the site is located
in an area which is accessible to major transportation facilities, thereby complying with
that policy. Finally, the proposed land use designation would allow for a commercial use
that would add to the economic base of the city while reflecting environmental constraints
as specified in policy 'W. The proposed "parcel 2" to be created adjacent to the property
to be amended is designated as Open Space and contains 15 acres.
Goal C. 1.2. of the Circulation Element states, "Develop the Circulation System concurrent
with need. Wherever possible, the adverse impacts of new development on the Circulation
System should be mitigated." Specific project conditions of the associated Site
Development Plan detail circulation system improvements to be made before the project
would be allowed to open for business. A detailed discussion of traffic conditions and
required improvements is included in the preceding "Project Description and Background1
section of this report.
The following policies of the Circulation Element also apply to this project:
C.3.1. Operational efficiencies of streets should be improved by using modem
design standards and latest available technology.
C.3.2. Adequate traffic safety measures should be provided at all intersections.
Once again the proposed land use designation change will comply with the above policies
due to circulation system improvements made a condition of development. Some of these
required improvements are specified as traffic mitigation measures in the Conditional
Negative Declaration proposed for the project.
The proposed land use is consistent with and compatible with surrounding land uses which
are also non-residential land uses. The proposed use is compatible with the commercial,
office, industrial, and agricultural uses in the immediate vicinity. The nearest residential
area is located to the south of the site. The area of the site to be developed is separated
from the residential area to the south by General Plan designated open space. The project
site is also lower in elevation as much as 60 feet in some areas. The project site has been
designed to facilitate the flow of traffic from Palomar Airport Road as the primary access
point to the property.
The land use change also complies with "Commercial Guidelines" number 12 and 15.
Those guidelines specify the area southeast of the intersection of the San Diego Freeway
and Cannon Road as being one of the few areas of the city intended for regional
commercial development. Commercial activities which will supply the city with a broad
economic base are also to be encouraged.

The proposed land use designation is consistent with applicable policies of the Mello 11
Segment of the Local Coastal Program. Policies regarding slopes and preservation of
environmentally sensitive vegetation are being complied with as they are presently
designated as open space and will not be affected. Drainage and runoff control measures
are being required of the specific development project including the removal of urban
pollutants from drainage waters before they are allowed to exit the site. The Soils Report
prepared for the site did not identify any landslides or other areas of possible slope
instability. The area of the site affected by the proposed amendment has been graded and
drainage improvements required by the Engineering Department will prevent problems of
accelerated soil erosion. The area of the property within the 100 hundred year floodplain
will remain as open space. In summary, the proposed amendment complies with all
policies of the MeUo I1 Segment of the Local Coastal Program.
ZONE CHANGE - ZC 90-1
Planning Issues
1. Is the proposed Zone Change consistent with the Land Use Element of the General
Plan and the sites proposed land use designation?
2. Would the uses allowed by the proposed Zone Change be compatible with the
sup-ounding land uses?
DISCUSSION
The proposed zone change will change the zoning from Planned Industrial, Qualified
Development Overlay Zone (P-M-Q) to General Commercial, Qualified Development
Overlay Zone (C-2-Q) on 23.6 acres. This is the area designated as "parcel 1" on the
Tentative Parcel Map and coincides with the area proposed to be amended on the General
Plan Map. Under the "General Guidelines" section of the Land Use Element, item 10
indicates that zoning should be made consistent with the General Plan. The proposed C-2-
Q zone implements the RRE General Plan designation and will achieve consistency between
the General Plan and Zoning. The proposed General Plan Amendment to RRE was
determined to be consistent with the Land Use Element as described in the preceding
section dealing with that application. Therefore, the corresponding implementing zone for
that General Plan Designation is also consistent with the Land Use Element.
The uses allowed by the C-2-Q zone would be compatible with the adjacent non-residential
land uses. The proposed Qualified Development Overly Zone made a part of the zone
change requires that a Site Development Plan be approved before building permits or other
entitlements are issued for the property. There are only minor exceptions listed to the
requirement for a Site Development Plan. They are found in Section 21.06.040 of the
Zoning Ordinance. As a result, the Q-Overly Zone provides the City with discretionary
review over development of the site to assure that allowed uses are compatible with
surrounding land uses.

APRIL 3, 1991
Planning Issues
1. Can the four findings required of the Q Overlay Zone, required for the approval of
the Site Development Plan, be made which are as follows?
A) That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and
environmental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives
of the General Plan, will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses
specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be located,
and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation;
B) That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use;
C) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features
necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in
the neighborhood will be provided and maintained;
D) That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly
handle all traffic generated by the proposed use.
2. Does the project comply with the Scenic Corridor Guidelines?
3. Is the proposed project consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for
McClellan-Palomar Airport?
4. Is the proposed project consistent with the Mello I1 Segment of Carlsbad’s Local
Coastal Program?
DISCUSSION
The site is located along Palomar Airport Road, a designated Scenic Corridor by the Scenic
Corridor Guidelines. The area along this roadway presents the City of Carlsbad to a great
number of persons entering and passing through the City. As a result of its location and
concerns that land use compatibility be achieved, staff recommended and the applicant
agreed that the Q-Overlay be placed on the property. Therefore, all four findings of the
Qualified Development Overlay Zone must be made. All four findings can be made for the
project as proposed and discussed below.

PAGE 12
Finding number 1 required for the Site Development plan can be made as the structure is
located an adequate distance from the access points to the property allowing for good on-
site circulation and vehicle queuing so as to not impact adjacent roadways. The truck area
which has the greatest potential to impact adjacent uses is located on the south side of the
building adjacent to the open space area. In addition, it is screened from view by walls,
fencing, and landscaping. The main entrance to the building is oriented to draw patrons
in from the main vehicle entrance to the property which supports the present site design
as being properly related to the site.
Finding number 2 can also be made as the project proposes 977 parking spaces while the
Zoning Ordinance requires 450. This equates to 46 percent more parking than required
by code and is evidence that the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use.
In addition, six percent of the parking area will be landscaped in contrast to the Zoning
Ordinance requirement of three percent.
All necessary yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other necessary features have
been provided to assure compatibility with existing and permitted future uses. The truck
area containing the receiving area, trash compactors, and pallet yard will be screened by
the use of concrete walls, fencing utilizing saran screen, and landscaping. The building at
its closest point is 160 feet from the western property line and 80 feet from the Caltrans
property in the northwestern area of the site. A 50 foot landscaped setback will be
provided from Palomar Airport Road which will be landscaped in accordance with the
Scenic Corridor Guidelines.
The street system serving the proposed use has been determined to be adequate to properly
handle all traffic generated by the use contingent on circulation system improvements
which have been required. A detailed discussion of traffic conditions and required
improvements is. included in the "Project Description and Background" section of this
report.
Improvements to the I-S/Palomar Airport Road interchange are estimated to be completed
by early 1993. Because timing of the interchange improvements are out of the control of
the City, actual construction of the improvements do not have to be completed before the
applicant is permitted to obtain occupancy of the project pursuant to the Growth
Management Program. The Growth Management Program does, however, require that
financing for the improvements to the interchange be guaranteed prior to the issuance of
any grading or building permits.
Representatives of the Price Company have made a proposal to further reduce traffic
impacts in the vicinity of the project while the interchange improvements are under
construction. The Price Club doors would be voluntarily closed for business from 4 P.M.
to 6 P.M. Monday through Friday until the improvements to the I-S/Pdornar Airport Road
interchange are completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Traffic counts taken on
February 5, 1991 by the City's Traffic Division confirm that this closely matches the
afternoon peak period. The following is wording to accomplish the proposed closing which
has been included as a condition of the project:

GPA 90-1/LCPA 90-2/ZC 90- ; /SDP 90-S/CUP 90-3/HDP 90-9/ML ~37 - PRICE CLUB
APRIL 3, 1991
The Price Club shall be closed for business from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. Monday
through Friday until the improvements to the I-S/Palomar Airport Road
interchange are completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Signage
shall be posted at the entrance and exit to the store to inform patrons of the
business hours. Notification of the special business hours of the Carlsbad
store shall also be made to Price Club members in any newsletters or
advertisements published. Signs to notify patrons of the 4 P.M. to 6 P.M.
Monday through Friday closure shall be approved by the City Engineer and
Planning Director and be installed prior to the issuance of an occupancy
permit.
This proposal has benefits as the Price Club is a membership store enabling it to notify its
members of the special business hours. Also of concern are the hours at which delivery
trucks will be entering and exiting the site as well as the number of deliveries which will
be made. The attached letter from Kathy Nishihira of the Price Company, dated January
14,1991 details the hours of delivery, number, and type of trucks that will be transporting
merchandise to the store.
Scenic Corridor Guidelines
The project is in compliance with the Scenic Corridor Guidelines as they apply to Palomar
Airport Road. The guidelines recommend maintaining substantial, heavily-landscaped
setbacks along the roadway to visually soften the impact of adjacent buildings. The
guidelines also recommend that parking areas be screened from traffic on Palomar Airport
Road by a combination of berms and landscaping. The project design includes a 50 foot
wide landscaped setback adjacent to Palomar Airport Road with a three foot high berm
adjacent to the proposed right-of-way. The parking area is a minimum of 15 feet lower
in elevation than Palomar Airport Road. Oak, which is the corridor theme tree, and Holly
Oak, the specified median tree, will be utilized as shown on the Landscape Plan.
Abort Land Use Plan
Plans for the proposed project were sent to the staff of the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) as they serve as staff to the County Airport Land Use Commission.
SANDAG staff, in the attached letter dated January 30, 1991, found the project to be
consistent with the McClellan-Palomar Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Mello I1 Local Coastal Promam
As discussed in the section of this staff report on the proposed Local Coastal Plan
Amendment, the project complies with all resource preservation policies of the Mello 11
Segment of the Local Coastal Program. Environmental mitigation has been required for
the project dealing with removing urban pollutants from drainage waters prior to them
leaving the site. Conditions number 1 and 2 of the EIA Part I1 contain the specific wording

for this requirement. Generally they require that all parking and driving areas be swept
and vacuumed on an established weekly schedule to prevent the accumulation of
dirt/oil/grease. Also, pollutant traps to remove storm water based pollutants have been
required.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 90-3
Planning Issues
1. Can the four findings required for granting a Conditional Use Pennit for food
concessions (take-out restaurants where food is not served within a dining area) be
made? Specifically:
a) That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the
community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and
objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to
uses specifically pennitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be
located;
b) That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use;
c) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features
necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in
the neighborhood will be provided and maintained;
d) That the street system senring the proposed use is adequate to properly
handle all traffic generated by the proposed use.
DISCUSSION
The proposed food concession consists of a 600 sq. ft. area within the structure which has
service windows on the building exterior and a food cart to be located near the main
entrance to the Price Club building. Pizza, hot dogs and other foods would be sold from
these concessions. Six patio tables with chairs are proposed to be located near the food
cart under the entry canopy to the store. Because of the limited outdoor seating to be
provided for this accessory use to the Price Club, it has been determined to function along
the lines of a take-out restaurant.
The food concession is considered to be a desirable use as it compliments the Price Club
retail function and provides a convenient service to shoppers. The parking requirements
for the site have included the area devoted to food concessions to anticipate the largest
possible parking demand. The location of the food concession is not expected to cause a
detrimental impact on existing uses as it is near the entrance to the store in an area where
store management can monitor the operation closely.

APRIL 3, 1991
The site design has always included the proposed food concessions so that the additional
parking demand created has been provided for. The site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use as evidenced by the provision of the necessary parking and its
location far from neighboring uses.
Because the food concessions are located under the entry canopy to the store, all setback
requirements have been met. A 30 to 50 foot wide concrete pedestrian area has been
provided in this area to accommodate users of the store and food concessions, thereby
preventing pedestrian circulation problems,
The street system serving the site was discussed in detail under the "Project Description and
Background' section of this report. The food concession use is not expected to generate
vehicle trips by itself. It is an accessory use to the Price Club Store and will benefit from
vehicle trips made for the purpose of patronizing the store. Therefore, based on the
circulation system improvements required for the store, the street system has been
determined to be adequate to properly handle all traffic that can in any way be attributed
to the food concession use.
HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - HDP 90-9
Planning Issues
1. Does the proposed Site Development Plan and Minor Subdivision comply with the
development and design standards of the Hillside Development Regulations (Chapter
21.95 of the Zoning Ordinance)?
DISCUSSION
The project design is in conformance with the development and design standards of the
Hillside Development Regulations. The 21.99 acre area of the site proposed to be graded
was graded for the project previously approved on the site. The proposed grading plan will
require the cut grading of 109,000 cubic yards of soil over a 10.25 acre area closest to
Palomar Airport Road. Also required is the fill grading of 96,000 cubic yards of soil over
an 11.1 7 acre area immediately south of the cut area. A total of 13,000 cubic yards of soil
will be exported from the site. The grading quantity resulting per acre of 4,960 cubic yards
is well within the acceptable range of grading volume allowed by the Hillside Development
Regulations.
The northern portion of the site closest to Palomar Airport Road will be lowered in
elevation approximately seven to ten feet in height. The soil will be placed on the
previously graded southern portion of the site causing it to be raised in elevation
approximately 13 feet at the greatest point to create a level building pad for the structure.
No slopes greater than 30 feet in height will be created. Only minor areas of the site that
contain slopes over 25 percent will be developed. These areas are exempt from the

requirements of the ordinance by Section 21.95.090(1) as they are areas previously
disturbed by authorized grading. The building's closest point to the top of slope is at the
southeast comer where it is 15 feet from the top of slope.
MINOR SUBDMSION - MS 837
Planninn Issues
1. Does the proposed Tentative Parcel Map satisfy all requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and the State Map Act?
DISCUSSION
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map would create four parcels (two buildable parcels, one
open space parcel and one remainder parcel) out of this 62 acre site as described in the
Project Description section of this report. Each lot in the proposed Tentative Parcel Map
complies with all requirements of the zone which is applicable to the individual parcel.
The C-2-Q, R-P, 0-S, and L-C zones apply to the property. Each parcel will have a different
zoning classification. All proposed lots will front on publicly dedicated streets.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Planninn Issues
1. Is the project in conformance with the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone
5?
DISCUSSION
The project is located in Local Facilities Management Zone 5 in the southwest quadrant.
Because the project is proposing a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change,
addnistrative revisions to the Zone 5 plan will need to be made to keep the plan up to
date. The impacts on public facilities created by the project and compliance with the
adopted performance standards are summarized below:

the environment, however, there will not be a significant effect in this case since the
mitigation measures described in the initial study have been added to the project. A
Conditional Negative Declaration was issued on February 28, 1991. This decision was
based on the findings of the Environmental Assessment, traffic report, and a field survey
by staff. The area of the site proposed to be developed was previously graded pursuant to
a prior environmental analysis. The Conditional Negative Declaration was sent to the State
Clearinghouse and a notice was published in the newspaper. No comments have been
received to date.

SUMMARY
The proposed project is consistent with all policies and ordinances governing the subject
site. The land use plan amendments and zone change comply with all applicable policies
of the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. The project design includes provisions for
the future development of two building pads, thereby providing a comprehensive
framework for development of the site. Staff therefore, recommends approval of all the
previously mentioned actions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact
Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological
and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the
basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration.
* A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checked to indicate this
de termination.
* An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a sidcant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration however, if
adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insidcant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings "YES-sign and "YES-insig" respectively.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

reduce the habitat of a fish or wild-
life species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or
animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or en-
dangered plant or animal, or eliminate
important examples of the major periods
of California history or prehistory.
34. Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the dis-
advantage of long-term, environmental
goals? (A short-term impact on the
environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definitive period of
time while long-term impacts will

A report titled "Foundation Investigation Carlsbad Price Club Lots 6-8, Carlsbad Ranch Business Park
Carlsbad, California" was prepared for the project by ICG Incorporated. The report is dated February
8, 1990. The report concludes that no credible risk of surface rupture exists at the project site. No
known active faults or potentially active faults cross the site. The site was previously graded for the
construction of a nine lot business park approved in 1988. Additional grading will be necessary to
construct the proposed project. All grading will be required to comply with the recommendations of
the soils report.
Approximately 21.99 acres of the site will be graded. The proposed grading plan will require the cut
grading of 109,000 cubic yards of soil over a 10.25 acre area. Also required is the fill grading of
96,000 cubic yards of soil over a 11.1 7 acre area. A total of 13,000 cubic yards of soil will be exported
from the site. The grading quantity resulting per acre of 4,960 cubic yards is well within the acceptable
range of grading volume allowed by the Hillside Development Regulations. The northern portion of
the site closest to Palomar Airport will be lowered in elevation approximately seven to ten feet in
height. This soil material will be placed on the southern area of the site which has been previously
graded causing it to be raised in elevation approximately 13 feet at the greatest point to create a level
building pad for the structure. These changes to the topography of the site are not considered to be
environmentally significant.
A storm drain system is proposed to collect all runoff from the site. Runoff from the parking area will
be directed through a pollutant trap to remove pollutants from drainage waters before they enter the
floodplain to the south. Landscaping of all slopes is required to prevent erosion of soils.
The proposed project will not modify the channel of a river or stream or the bed of the ocean as water
will be deposited into the floodplain within the southern area of the site after being routed through an
energy dissipator.
A change in the land use designations applicable to the site and the number of vehicle trips generated
by the proposed uses will result in a greater impact to ambient air quality than expected from uses
permitted under the present designations. However, because of the project's location in close proximity
to Interstate 5 as opposed to other locations previously considered, the proposed site is located so as
to minimize the length of vehicle trips from geographical target areas to be served. The Price Club has
destination oriented vehicle trips since it is a membership store and the new location will reduce the
distance coastal residents will have to travel to patronize a Price Club store.
A total of 10.34 percent of the 27 acres to be disturbed will be covered by the Price Club building. The
remainder of the site excluding the two future building pads will not have obstructions to air movement
with the exception of landscaping. Trash generated by the use is proposed to be processed through the
use of trash compactors that will be emptied on a regular basis to prevent odor problems. Landscaping
is proposed throughout the parking areas to reduce the impact of large asphalt areas which cause an
increase in onsite temperatures.
Refer to responses to numbers 3 and 4 above.

Runoff from the project site will be conveyed to the floodplain on the southern portion of the site. AU parking and driving areas shall be swept and vacuumed on an established weekly schedule to prevent
the accumulation of dirt/oil/grease which could be washed into the storm drain system. Parking lot
runoff will be collected in the proposed storm drain system onsite and be directed through a pollutant
trap prior to being discharged into the floodplain. These requirements intended to remove pollutants
from waters leaving the site will be environmental mitigation measures for the project.
The area of the site proposed to be developed has been previously graded for the construction of the
business park approved for the property. Therefore, no natural resources will be affected.
Construction of the proposed use will not by itself create a significant demand on energy sources.
A cultural resource survey was completed for the business park approved for the site in 1988 which
found no cultural resources within the subject property.

The area of the site proposed to be developed as a result of the project was previously graded pursuant
to a prior environmental analysis. Therefore, the diversity of species of plant life will not be affected.
Areas of the site will be landscaped including slopes to prevent erosion. Perimeter areas to be
landscaped will utilize Zone 3 naturalizing plant species to provide a transition to areas which will not
be disturbed.
The project site has been approved for the construction of a business park and been graded in
conformance with that plan. No agricultural crops are grown on the site which is presently designated
for industrial development.
Because the project site has been graded pursuant to a previous environmental analysis, it does not
presently provide habitat for wildlife.
The commercial uses proposed will not result in the introduction of domestic animals to the area.
Human Environment
17. Necessary for the approval of the proposed use is an amendment to the General Plan and Local Coastal
Plan as well as a zone change to redesignate the site from industrial to commercial. The project vicinity
contains both co'mmerCial and industrial uses which the proposal is compatible with. All necessary
public facilities for the use will be provided in conformance with the Local Facilities Management Plan
and the requirements of the Engineering Department.
18. All necessary public utilities and services will be provided in conformance with the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 5.

The project will result in the need for a system of removing oil fkom onsite drainage prior to it being
discharged into the existing floodplain. A system to remove oils left in the parking areas by
automobiles has been required and will be approved by the Engineering Department.
The proposed project will cause an increase of 5,528 average daily vehicle trips to and from the site
in comparison to the business park approved for the site. The additional vehicle trips will not
significantly increase ambient noise levels as the site is adjacent to a prime arterial and within close
proximity to Interstate 5. The site is within the 60 CNEL noise contour for McClellan-Palomar Airport.
Lighting fixtures are proposed to be attached to the Price Club building and will direct light downward.
A lighting plan will be required for the project to ensure that lighting is designed to reflect downward
and avoid impacts on adjacent properties.
The goods and services offered at the proposed store will not involve a significant risk of an explosion.
The potential for the release of oil and grease into the floodplain will be mitigated by weekly sweeping
and vacuuming of all parking and driveway areas in addition to the construction of a pollutant trap to
remove parking lot oils and grease from drainage before waters exit the site.
The change from a business park to commercial uses has the potential to increase the density of the
human population of the site during business hours. The population onsite will vary based upon the
day of the week and will not create a significant impact as all necessary public facilities and services
will be provided to meet demand.
The project, if approved, could cause a demand for additional housing as new jobs will be created.
Housing is presently or will be available within the City to satisfy the demand that may be created by
the project.
The Price Club and uses proposed for the future building pads will generate a total of 8,411 average
daily vehicle trips. A traffic study was prepared for the project by Urban Systems Associates.
Improvements necessary to mitigate the impacts caused by the project are listed under item number 27.
The proposed development will create a large demand for new parking which will be satisfied on the
project site. A total of 450 parking spaces are required by the City's Zoning Ordinance. A total of 977
spaces are proposed recognizing the demand generated at other Price Club facilities.
As stated previously, the project will generate a substantial number of average daily vehicle hips. The
City presently has a project in the design phase to widen the Palomar Airport Road bridge over
Interstate 5 as well as to improve the on and off ramps. A traffic signal is proposed for the project's
access point to Palomar Airport Road. A Traffic Study was prepared by Urban Systems Associates for
the proposed project. The City's Traffic Engineer is requiring that the following mitigation measures be implemented:

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (cont'dl
a) Widen and reconstruct the improvements at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and Paseo Del Norte in order to provide dual left turns on the north, south and east legs of the intersection
including appropriate transitions to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Include modifications of
the traffic signal at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and Paseo Del Norte including
appropriate traffic signing and striping.
All improvements and work shall be coordinated with the improvements to the interchange at 1-5.
b) Construct an appropriate acceleratioddeceleration lane along Palomar Airport Road for the
proposed right-in/right-out driveway.
c) Close the access to Paseo Del Norte until the improvements to 1-5/Pdomar Airport Road
interchange are completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
d) Construct full signalized intersection on Palomar Airport Road at the east entrance of the Price Club site including the addition of an added eastbound right turn lane on Palomar Airport Road into the
project.

The site is not located so as to impact waterways or rail lines. The property is within the airport
influence area for McClellan-Palomar Airport but is located far enough to the west of the airport so as
to not create a compatibility problem with the airport. SANDAG staff has reviewed the project and
found it to be consistent with the McClellan-Palomar Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
All necessary street improvements and a traffic signal will be constructed along the project's Palomar
Airport Road frontage to create a circulation system that has adequate traffic controls to function in a
safe manner.
The project will not interfere with emergency response plans as street improvements on adjacent streets
will be completed to ensure that access is available.
The project will not obstruct a scenic vista as views to the open space area on the southern part of the
site will still be retained. An aesthetically offensive public view will not be created as the truck loading,
trash compactor and pallet yard area will be screened by the use of walls, fencing and landscaping. In
addition, old tires removed at the tire center will be stored in the section of the building containing the
service bays. Conditions will be imposed on the project to guarantee that the above mentioned
screening and method of storing used tires is maintained.
No roof equipment is proposed because of the difficulty in screening the equipment from residences to
the south. The building exteriors are proposed to contain areas having a rough aggregate finish to
further enhance the visual appearance of the project. These items will also be addressed in the
conditions for the project.
This proposed commercial project will not create a large demand for recreational facilities. An onsite
indoor and outdoor eating area is proposed. All projects within Local Facilities Management Zone 5
are required to pay a park-in-lieu fee of $.40 per square foot of non-residential building area. That fee
will offset the demand created for park facilities in Zone 5 by this project.

ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATrVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT' SUCH AS:
a) Phased development of the project,
b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development,
d) alternate uses for the site,
e) development at some future time rather than now,
f) alternate sites for the proposed, and
g) no project alternative.
a) The project proposes to phase development by leaving two pads for future buildings. The majority of the
parking areas and landscaping will be constructed with the Price Club building so as to minimize future
disturbances to the site.
b) Alternate site designs have been considered including various access arrangements and building
orientations. The proposed design provides the best solution to all concern identified.
c) An alternate scale of development would not have significant environmental advantages on this previously
graded site.
d) Alternate uses for the site include the previously approved business park which would have the benefit
of generating less traffic. Circulation system improvements planned will cause the roadways in the project
vicinity to operate at levels which meet the performance standards of the City's Growth Management
Program even with the traffic generated by the proposed project.
e) Development at some future time would leave this previously graded site with a temporary perimeter fence
in its present condition with no environmental advantages.
f) Alternate sites for the project have been considered. An application was previously filed to construct a
Price Club store and additional commercial buildings at the southwest comer of El Camino Real and
College Boulevard. Previous sites have been rejected in favor of the proposed site due to its location which
has benefits from a circulation standpoint.
g) The no project alternative would not be environmentally superior as the project site contains no significant
environmental resources and is located adjacent to a prime arterial in close proximity to Interstate 5.

DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
- I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATNE DECLARATION d be prepared.
- x I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a Significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached
sheet have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative
Declaration will be proposed.
- I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
