That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is located, in that the proposed uses have been limited to those that are clearly oriented to support the surrounding industrial developments and their populations and identified on Exhibit “CUP 04-01 Use Restrictions” attached hereto. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that all of the setback, height, parking and lot coverage standards of the Planned Industrial Zone have been met. That all the 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, in that the project site design, landscape design, and circulation design have been evaluated and determined to be sufficient to provide compatibility with the neighboring properties and uses. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project will generate 2,900 ADT. The existing ADT for Palomar Airport Road is 57,000 and 49,000 for El Camino Real. The design capacities of each road is for over 40,000 ADT, the project will represent an increase of less than 7% of the existing gross traffic volumes. It is anticipated that the project ADT will not be new trips but will draw significantly from existing trips. 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 December 15,2004. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport, dated April 1994, in that as conditioned the applicant shall record an avigation easement. The project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the CLUP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the CLUP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that the proposed land uses are conditionally permitted within the identified noise contours and assembly uses are prohibited. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
