Withstanding comments listed below, the proposed development complies with
the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and the Carlsbad Airport Business
Center Specific Plan. All setbacks, building height, parking, lot coverage,
architectural and driveway standards are in compliance, and the proposed use is
appropriate for this property.
The proposed development is in the PM (Planned Industrial) Zone. Development
in the PM Zone requires a Planned Industrial Permit subject to the Planning
Director's discretion. Application materials can be obtained at the Planning
Department front counter.
Staff could not determine with accuracy if the amount of outdoor employee eating
area provided satisfies the minimum requirements. A minimum of 2,978 square
feet of outdoor eating area is required per the PM Zone. We estimate the
proposed employee eating area at 1,700 square feet.
The refuse/recycling bin enclosure is not designed per City standards. City
standards require pedestrian access through the rear of the enclosure.
Add dense foliage where ever possible to screen and/or soften the loading bay
fronting Loker Avenue. Do not, however, add plants in locations which will
impede safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians (i.e. interfering with safe site
distance).

1. The location of driveways opposite the site are not shown and this makes support
of the proposed locations uncertain for this preliminary review.
a. The southerly driveway location is potentially acceptable since there would
be no left turn conflicts into the opposite driveway across the street.
b. The northerly driveway will need to be located a minimum of 150 feet from
the driveway on the opposite side of Loker Avenue in order to avoid left
turn conflicts. The distance is measured along the centerline of the street
and ends at the midpoint of each driveway.
2. The site plan does not show proposed topography or surface elevations.
Therefore, only general comments can be made concerning drainage.
a. The project will need to meet the City National Pollution Drainage
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements.
b. The City Standard minimum grade is one percent.
c. Because the building is proposed to be close to the connection to the public storm drain system, a storm drain channel or piping system around
the building may be required. Drainage from the parking lot must flow
through earth or vegetated swales for NPDES purposes.
Please contact David Rick at (619) 438-1 161, extension 4328 if you have any questions.
