~ (“the Property”); and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Tentative Tract
Map as shown on Exhibits “A” - “CC” dated August 15, 2001, on tile in the Planning
Department, CARLSBAD RACEWAY BUSINESS PARR - CT 98-10, as provided by
Chapter 20.12 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 15th day of August, 2001, on
the 3rd day of October 2001, and on the 17th day of October 2001 hold a duly noticed public
hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors
relating to the Tentative Tract Map.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES CARLSBAD RACEWAY BUSINESS PARR - CT 98-10, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. 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
design and improvements for the map are in compliance with all applicable city
policies and standards, and necessary public facilities and services needed to serve the development will be in place prior to occupancy of any buildings proposed
within the project.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since
surrounding properties to the north, south, and west are designated for and/or
developed with Planned Industrial land uses, and property to the east consists of
existing commercial development in the City of Vista. The project is also
compatible with residentially designated and developed property to the south in that
the uses are separated by Palomar Airport Road, and environmental mitigation

measures are imposed on the project to prohibit the use and storage of hazardous
materials except as permitted by the Carlsbad Fire Department.
~ 3. 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 non-residential development at the intensity proposed, in that the project meets all of the requirements of the P-M zone
without the need for a variance from development standards and all required public
facilities and services will be provided.
4. 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 all existing easements of record within the project are consistent with the
proposal or shall be relocated as necessary concurrent with the recordation of the
final map.
5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land
Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or
natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the area is dominated
by westerly wind patterns which allows the use of natural heating and cooling
opportunities and the subdivision design consists of large industrial lots that will be
developed with ample building separation to enable proper air circulation.
7. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing
California Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has
been designed in accordance with the best Management Practices for water quality
protection in accordance with the City’s sewer and drainage standards. In addition,
the project is conditioned to comply with the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) standard to prevent any discharge violations.
8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat, in that mitigation required by the Mitigated Negative Declaration issued for
the project dated July 15, 2001 will reduce potentially significant environmental
impacts to circulation, hazards, air quality, and biological resources to below significant levels.
9. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in
the staff report dated August 15,2001, including, but not limited to the following:
A. Land Use - The site is designated for Planned Industrial land use and the proposed industrial lots are consistent with the Planned Industrial General
Plan designation. The redesignation of the wildlife habitat corridor open
space easement to Open Space is consistent with the General Plan to
redesignate and preserve natural resource areas.

space consistent with the City’s HMP, redesignates and rezones the open
space easement to General Plan Open Space (O-S), and dedicates and

Public Safety - Mitigation measures are required to avoid exposure to
contaminated soils and to significantly reduce risk of exposure to hazardous
substances stored within the subdivision. All required streets, sidewalks,
street lights, and fire hydrants will be constructed in accordance with City
standards. Compliance with the P-M zoning regulations at the time the
proposed lots are developed will ensure consistency with the McClellan-
Palomar Airport Land Use Plan (CLUP) provisions for development within
the flight activity zone.
10. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 18 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 San Marcos Unified

projected noise levels of the CLUP; and, baaed on the noise/land use compatibility matrix
of the CLUP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that the proposed
industrial lots will be developed in the future in accordance with the P-M zone

antifreeze, solvents, paints, paint thinners, wood preservatives, and other such
fluids shall not be discharged into any street, public or private, or into storm drain
or storm water conveyance systems. Use and disposal of pesticides, fungicides,
herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers and other such chemical treatments shall meet
Federal, State, County and City requirements as prescribed in their respective
containers.
Best Management Practices shall be used to eliminate or reduce surface pollutants
when planning any changes to the landscaping and surface improvements.
SWPPP will include calculations of anticipated pollutant loading, and sizing
of structural BMPs to remove pollutants prior to storm water entering a
storm drain. Required maintenance of the BMPs and the maintenance
interval will be specified for each BMP.
Each lot in this project will include structural BMPs as required to remove
anticipated pollutants from storm water runoff from each lot to the
maximum extent practical. Catch basin inserts are not sufficient by
themselves to remove all pollutants, but may be included as part of a
comprehensive system for each lot or phase of development.
The property owner’s association will be responsible for maintenance and
operations of BMPs until such time the City may decide to assume
maintenance responsibility.
63. Developer shall incorporate into the grading/improvement plans the design for the project
drainage outfall end treatments for any drainage outlets where a direct access road for
maintenance purposes is not practical. These end treatments shall be designed so as to
prevent vegetation growth from obstructing the pipe outfall. Designs could consist of a
modified outlet headwall consisting of an extended concrete spillway section with
longitudinal curbing and/or radially designed rip-rap, or other means deemed appropriate,
to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
