SUBJECT:
Dear Mr. Olson,
SDP 2018-0012/MS 2018-0009 (DEV09042l IONIS PHARMACEUTICALS -Request for
approval of a Minor Site Development Plan {SDP 2018-0012) and Minor Subdivision {MS
2018-0009) for the development of a 74,126-square-foot, 35-foot-tall (with allowable
protrusions up to 45 feet) ancillary employee conference center and the consolidation of
two lots {Lots 14 and 25) into one lot for IONIS Pharmaceuticals. The maximum capacity
of the largest lecture hall in the conference center is 250 people. The 4.52-acre property

consolidation of Lots 14 and 25 of SP 211{C), the IONIS Pharmaceuticals campus will be
18.44 acres in size.
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Minor Site Development Plan SDP 2018-
0012 and Minor Subdivision MS 2018-0009 for the development of an ancillary employee conference
center on Lot 25 of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan, SP 211{C) and the consolidation of Lots 14 and
25 into one lot for IONIS Pharmaceuticals. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding
this request, the City Planner has made a decision pursuant to Section 21.06.070 of the City of Carlsbad
Municipal Code to APPROVE this request based on the following findings and subject to the conditions
listed below.
Findings:
SDP 2018-0012:

master plan or specific plan, complies with all applicable provisions of Chapter 21.06 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, and all other applicable provisions of this code; in that the project
consists of the development of a 74,126-square-foot, 35-foot-tall {with allowable protrusions up
to 45 feet) accessory employee conference center, which includes 250 fixed seats in the main
lecture hall. The project also proposes to consolidate two lots {Lots 14 and 25 of Map 16145, SP

The conference center's employee eating area requirement is proposed to be satisfied by a
combination of outdoor and indoor areas, including a large outdoor patio/gathering area, as well
as an indoor kitchen and several break-out areas. Perimeter and parking lot landscaping,
retaining walls up to six (6) feet in height, drainage facilities and other ancillary improvements
are also proposed on the 4.52-ace, previously mass-graded site.
Pursuant to a Parking Study prepared by Urban Systems for the project (September 2018), a
minimum of 78 parking spaces are recommended for the development of the new conference
center on Lot 25. Overall, a total of 458 parking stalls are recommended for the existing research
and development building on Lot 14 and the new conference center on Lot 25. The project
proposes a total of 131 spaces on Lot 25 and 458 parking spaces on Lot 14, resulting in a combined
total of 609 parking spaces.
The proposed ancillary conference center use, which is proposed to be used by the employees
of IONIS Pharmaceuticals, is consistent with the Planned Industrial (Pl) General Plan Land Use
designation and is a permitted accessory use in the Planned Industrial (P-M) zoning designation
for the site. All roadways and improvements necessary to serve the development exist and no
additional improvements are required. The project is located outside the 60 dBA CNEL noise
contour of the McClellan-Palomar Airport.
The project complies with the City of Carlsbad Climate Action Plan (CAP) in that it will implement
the requirements of the CAP Checklist prepared by the applicant dated May 22, 2018, including
but not limited to installing a photovoltaic (PV) system which would provide a system of at least
328 kilowatts (kW); at least 75 percent LED lighting for the buildings; utilization of either a solar
water heating system, heat pump or equivalent; zero-emission vehicle infrastructure; and
utilizing drought tolerant plants and energy efficient irrigation systems.
2. That the requested development or use is properly related to the site, surroundings and
environmental settings, will not be detrimental to existing development or uses or to development
or uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed development or use is to be
located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation; in that Lot 25 of
SP 211(C) (formerly Lot 27) is one of the 23 industrial lots designated for light industrial primary
and accessory uses which are permissible in Section 21.34.020 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
The 74,126 SF conference center, which is accessory to the IONIS research and development
building (i.e., primary use), has been designed to comply with all applicable development
standards included in the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan and Planned Industrial (P-M) zone,
as well as mitigation measures contained in EIR 98-08. The project will not adversely impact the
site, surroundings, or traffic circulation In that the existing surrounding streets, which are fully
improved, have adequate capacity to accommodate the 190 Average Daily Trips (ADTs)
generated by the project. In addition, the internal traffic circulation complies with Fire
Department and Land Development Engineering requirements.
3. That the site for the intended development or use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the use; in that the project complies with all development standards of the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan's Development Standards and Design Guidelines and the Planned Industrial (P-M)
Zone (Chapter 21.34 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code), including setbacks, building coverage,
employee eating areas, landscaping, parking, and height restrictions.

4. That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested development or use to existing or permitted future development or use in the
neighborhood will be provided and maintained; in that the accessory conference center, surface
parking, employee eating area, perimeter and parking lot landscape, drainage facilities and other
ancillary improvements fit within the developable area, and all applicable development
standards of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Development Standards and Design
Guidelines and the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone have been met. Parking and loading areas are
screened through the combined use of building orientation and landscaping. Adequate vehicle
circulation has been provided to accommodate truck turning movements and emergency vehicle
access. Access to the site will be provided via two driveways off Whiptail Loop and Gazelle Court.
A pedestrian connection to the existing sidewalk on Whiptail Loop will be provided via a sidewalk
along the southerly side of the driveway.
5. That the street system serving the proposed development or use is adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed use; in that the proposed accessory employee conference
center complements the light industrial uses analyzed in the circulation analysis prepared for the
Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-08) for the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan. The
existing surrounding streets, which are fully improved, have adequate capacity to accommodate
the 190 ADTs generated by the project.
MS 2018-0009:
6. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable
specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act,
and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the proposal to merge two lots into one
lot in conjunction with the development of a 74,126-square-foot employee conference center
for IONIS Pharmaceuticals implements the goals and policies of the General Plan as discussed in
the General Plan findings section below; is consistent with all minimum requirements of Titles
20 and 21 governing lot size and configuration; and has been designed to comply with all
applicable City regulations.
7. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties are designated for light industrial development on the General Plan and are developed
with complimentary land uses on comparable lot sizes.
8. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate the light industrial office development in that all
design criteria required by the applicable zoning ordinances and SP 2ll(C) have been
incorporated into the merged lots without the need for variances from development standards.
9. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements of
record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the project has been designed
and conditioned such that there are no conflicts with established easements.
