Carlsbad, CA 92010
SUBJECT: PIP 86-01(B) - HISAMITSU SHIPPING ADDITION
The City has completed a review of the application for a Planned Industrial Permit
Amendment for development located at 2732 Loker Avenue West. The project would add
672 square feet of shipping area to an existing building and add a screened, outdoor
mechanical equipment area and oxidizer stack. No landscaping would be removed. This
approval is being resent to show the correct address of 2732 Loker Avenue West
instead of 2728 Loker Avenue West that was previously noted. All conditions and
findings remain the same. This letter supersedes the previous approval letter dated
October 7, 2008.
It is the Planning Director's determination that the project is consistent with the City's
Planned Industrial Zone regulations (Chapter 21.34) and with all other applicable City
ordinances and policies. The Planning Director, therefore, approves this request based on
the following:
Findings:
1. That the site indicated by the Planned Industrial Permit 86-01(6) is adequate in size
and shape to accommodate the proposed use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences,
parking, loading, landscaping and other features required by Chapter 21.34 and the
Carlsbad Airport Business Park Specific Plan in that the proposed addition of a
shipping area, mechanical equipment area and oxidizer stack fits within the
developable area of the lot and meets all applicable development standards.
2. That the improvements indicated on the Planned Industrial Permit 86-01 (B) are
located in such a manner to be related to existing and proposed streets and
highways in that access for the proposed addition is provided from Loker
Avenue West, which was previously approved by Planned Industrial Permit
PIP 86-01, in accordance with City Engineering Standards. The project does
not require any street improvements.

3. That the improvements as shown on the Planned Industrial Permit 86-01(8) are
consistent with the intent and purpose of the Planned Industrial zone and all adopted
development, design and performance standards as set forth in Chapter 21.34 in
that the project conforms to the applicable requirements for building height,
setbacks, parking, and lot coverage, as well as the architectural design criteria
and performance standards of the P-M zone (Chapter 21.34 of the Zoning
Ordinance).
4. That the Planning Director has determined that: the project is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section
15301(e) Existing Facilities of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any
adverse significant impact on the environment.
5. That the Planning Director finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan, in that as an expansion
of an industrial office use, the proposed addition is consistent with the
Planned Industrial (PI) General Plan Land Use designation. Further, the project
features appropriate design and screening to comply with Land Use Element
aesthetic objectives. Finally, the project complies with or does not preclude
compliance with other applicable General Plan objectives, such as those
concerned with adequate vehicle and pedestrian circulation and sensitive
habitat preservation.
6. That the project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan,
the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 5 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 to the issuance of building permit.
c. A growth management park fee of 40 cents per square foot of non-
residential development 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 5.
7. The Planning Director has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are
imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the
