IV. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and standards as analyzed
within the following section of this staff report:
A. General Plan Land Use Element – Regional Commercial Land Use Designation; B. Car Country Specific Plan SP 19 (I);
C. General Commercial Zone (C-2) (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.28) with
Commercial Visitor Serving Overlay Zone (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.208);
D. Site Development Plan findings required by the Specific Plan; E. Coastal Development Permit Regulations for the Mello II Local Coastal Program (LCP) Segment;
F. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP); and
G. Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 3.
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of
the above regulations and policies is discussed in detail in the following sections.
A. General Plan The project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of R (Regional Commercial). The
construction of an accessory building for auto dealership operations does not change the area of
property or the use of the project site and was previously found to be consistent with the General
Plan. The proposed use is also consistent with the allowed auto related uses of the Car Country Specific Plan which was also found to be consistent with the General Plan.

* On March 6, 2013, an Administrative Variance (AV 13-01) was approved allowing Jaguar Land Rover to have a reduction in the side yard setback from ten (10) feet to five (5) feet.
The proposed building will require additional parking along with the conversion of the wash bay
to a parts room in the existing building. The required type and number of parking spaces for the various uses (see Table B) have been provided and the remainder of the parking spaces will be used for vehicle inventory. The project plans identify the location of the required parking spaces
which meet the parking requirements of the Specific Plan.
The Specific Plan calls for exterior building elements to be of a Spanish or Mediterranean Architectural style. The proposed Jaguar/Land Rover building has an architectural style which is consistent with the Specific Plan. The project uses stucco and slump stone which is consistent
with the existing and other buildings within the Specific Plan area. The beige and off-white
building color meets the muted earth tone requirement of the Specific Plan.
Properties within the Car Country Specific Plan area that are used as automobile dealerships are exempt from the requirements of the Commercial Visitor Serving Overlay zone as provided in
Chapter 21.208.030 of the C.M.C.
D. Site Development Permit Findings Required by the Commercial Zone/Specific Plan The Car Country Specific Plan requires that a SDP (or amendment to an approved SDP) be
approved for the proposed use prior to the issuance of any building permit. This section
summarizes the necessary findings and support for each.
1. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings, and environmental settings; it is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan; it 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 it will not adversely impact the site,
surroundings, or traffic circulation. The various elements and objectives of the General Plan will be implemented since the proposed
project falls within the Car Country Specific Plan, which is found to be consistent with the
General Plan. The proposed building is properly related to the site surroundings as well as the
environmental setting in that the project design complies with the requirements of the Car Country Specific Plan. The location of the building will not disrupt the existing vehicular circulation and Paseo Del Norte is adequate to handle the traffic generated by the proposed use.
In addition, the proposed use is compatible with the existing auto dealerships in the area;
therefore, the adjacent properties will not be adversely impacted.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use.
The subject site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed buildings and the
proposed building complies with the required development and design standards of the Specific
Plan. The proposed project complies with the development standards for building coverage,
building height, parking, and architectural style as required within the Specific Plan and as discussed in Section B and C above. An Administrative Variance (AV 13-01) was approved,
allowing for a reduction in the side yard setback from 10’ to 5’.
SDP 10-01(A)/CDP 12-27 – JAGUAR LAND ROVER CARLSBAD
APRIL 17, 2013
PAGE 5
3. That all 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.
The site functions as a component of the Specific Plan’s allowed automobile sales, service, and related uses. As mentioned above, AV 13-01 was approved allowing for a reduction in the required side yard setback from 10’ to 5’. Other than the side yard setback, the project has been
designed in accordance with all development and design standards of the Specific Plan;
therefore, the project is compatible with existing permitted and future uses.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use.
Primary access to the site will be provided from two existing driveways located off of Paseo Del
Norte. The street system serving the proposed uses will be adequate to handle the additional 155
Average Daily Trips generated by the proposed project. E. Coastal Development Permit Regulations for the Mello II Local Coastal Program (LCP) Segment
1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies. The project site is located within the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment. As discussed
below, the project complies with all applicable LCP provisions.
The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for Regional Commercial (R) development. The project’s consistency with the R Land Use designation is analyzed in Section A above. The proposed building will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public
right of way or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. The project is consistent
with the surrounding development of auto dealerships in the Car Country Carlsbad Specific Plan.
No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, and the property is not within the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone that would require mitigation for conversion to urban uses. There are
no sensitive coastal resources within the property and is not located in an area of known geologic
instability or flood hazard.
2. Conformance with public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act.
No public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site and no
public access requirements are conditioned for the project since it is not located between the first
public road and the ocean. The commercially designated site is not suited for water-oriented
recreation activities.
3. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone.
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(CMC Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm
SDP 10-01(A)/CDP 12-27 – JAGUAR LAND ROVER CARLSBAD

Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban run-off, pollutants and soil erosion. No development is
proposed in areas of steep slopes (≥ 25% gradient). No native vegetation is located on the subject
property. In addition, the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to
accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction. F. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP)
The proposed project falls within the boundaries of the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan (ACLUP). The ALUCP was adopted on March 4, 2010 and all projects within its boundary are required to be reviewed for consistency with its goals and policies. The ALUCP identifies four types of airport impacts that must be considered for each development:
Noise, Safety, Airspace Protection, and Overflight. The original Site Development Plan (SDP
10-01) project was submitted to the Airport Authority and it was determined that only building
height would be of concern per the ALUCP and that the increase in building height did not warrant review by the FAA as the project did not meet the notice criteria. The proposed building has a height that is less than the main auto dealership building and would therefore not require
review by the FAA. The project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the ALUCP;
and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the ALUCP, the proposed land use is
compatible with the airport, in that the site is beyond the 60 CNEL noise contour and auto sales are a compatible use.
G. Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 3
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 3. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table C below.
