The land use plan and development regulations contained within the Specific Plan will result in the creation of a physical environment which will conform to and complement the goals of the community, facilitate efficient business and industrial operations, create a working environment sensitive to human needs and values, and protect adjacent land uses from adverse impacts. This Specific Plan is intended to be a tool to implement the goals and policies of the General Plan. is a set of standards for development and does not provide a guarantee of approval for future discretionary acts or projects within its boundaries. plan shall be known as the Carlsbad Pacific Business Park. The Specific Plan The area covered by this This specific plan is adopted pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Sections 65450 et seq. and of the Land Use Element of the City of Carlsbad General Plan. The area covered by this plan is included within the Palomar Airport Special Treatment Area specified in the General Plan and, therefore, this plan is also prepared according to the special treatment area requirements established by the City's General Plan. This specific plan establishes detailed regulations, conditions and programs for development within the area specified herein. LOCAT I ON The Carlsbad Pacific Business Park contains 558.6 acres and is located on the west side of El Camino Real, north of Palomar Airport in the City of Carlsbad. The westerly portion of the site is currently in an unincorporated County island, but is within the City's sphere of influence and will be annexed to the City. to this area follwing annexation. The general site location is shown in Figure 1. The Specific Plan will apply The project site is shown in Figure 2. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS The site is designated on the Land Use Element of the Cityts General Plan as a combination district which includes Planned Industrial, Regional Service, Community Commercial, and Travel Services Commercial. Also included in the combination district is a floating public utilities designation which allows placement of a utility within one kilometer of the "U" designation shown on the land use map. 8 ’, *. 0 Figure 1 2 Regional Location Map Ic;a 3 0 1 e 0 0 0 0 a e Figure 2 3 2 Project Site Map ka Source: USGS Top0 Quads, San Luis Rey and Enci’nitas -3- LAND USE, CIRCULATION, AND PHASING GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Carlsbad Pacific Business Park is a comprehensively planned industrial development containing a balanced mixture of industrial, research and development, office, and commercial uses. The project will offer industrial development sites for users of all sizes in an organized and pleasant setting. The industrial sites will be complemented by a full range of industrial and commercial support facilities. The Land Use Plan (Figure 3) designates the location of various land uses. All development shall conform to the land use plan. The development will feature extensive landscaping, including special landscaped berms along designated streets, parking lot landscaping, and landscaped building sites, Setback requirements and sign controls will further serve to create an aesthetically pleasing and sensitive environment. Special design standards will be applied to areas adjacent to future residential developments. Pedestrian and bicycle pathways and a series of miniparks will provide public recreational facilities. In addition, individual industrial users are encouraged to provide private recreational facilities for employees. canyon areas will be preserved as natural open space and habitat areas. If approved, a wastewater treatment plant and a storage reservor will be constructed on the west end of the project. Many of the steeper Prior to locating a wastewater treatment plant, environmental review shall be conducted and a zone change and other necessary approvals shall be obtained. Approval of this specific plan does not commit the City to approval of the wastewater treatment plant.

This plan serves to implement the C-M zoning classification which exists on the site. The permitted uses, development standards, and environmental considera- tions contained in this plan are more stringent than those found in the underlying zoning; therefore, the provisions of this plan will take precedence over the existing zoning. The provisions of the C-M zone shall apply to subjects which are not covered in this plan. CIRCULATION Primary access to the site will be from Palomar Airport Road, El Camino Real, and future College Boulevard. Internal circulation will be provided by four-lane public roads designed and built by developer in accordance with City standards. All local streets will be constructed by the developer to City Standards in conjunction with adjacent development.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The intent of this section is to provide the maximum oppor- tunity for creative site planning and building design on individual parcels, while ensuring that the development is established and maintained in a manner consistent with a highquality industrial park development. Due to the cur- vilinear nature of the street pattern, the difference in pad elevations, the range of lot sizes, and the mixture of proposed land uses, there will be a pleasing variety of setbacks, separations between buildings, building heights, and architectural styles. As a counterpoint to this variety, visual continuity will be provided by common landscape treatment along the special landscaped streets. BUILDING SETBACKS All setbacks shall be measured from the property line. For the purpose of this ordinance, a streetside property line is that line created by the ultimate right-of-way line of the frontage street. 1. Streetside Setback. No structure shall be located within 30 feet of any streetside property line, except that unsupported roofs or sun screens may project 6 feet into the setback area. The following improvements are specifically permitted in the streetside setback: a. Walks; b. Paving and associated curbing, except that vehicle parking areas shall not be permitted within 30 feet of the streetside property line or lines of special landscaped streets or within 10 feet of the streetside property line of other streets. c. Landscaping; d. Planters, architectural fences, or walls not to exceed 3 feet in height. In the case of through lots extending from street to street, both street frontages shall be treated as a streetside setback. 2. Interior Setback. No setback shall be required on interior lot lines, except that if any setback is provided, it shall be a minimum of 10 feet. 3. Figure 4 represents a graphic example of how setbacks on special streets and interior streets should be treated. Treatment is not limited to the method depicted in this graphic, however. -114- Figure 4 3 4 Street Setbacks lsa -15- - SITE COVERAGE Maximum building coverage, shall not exceed 50% of the lot area. BUILDING HEIGHT The maximum height of structures within the industrial park shall not exceed 35 feet. However, it is recognized that this project may contain sites where taller buildings would be appropriate. Any request for a structure in excess of 35 feet would require an amendment to the C-M zone and to this Specific Plan. PARKING Off-street parking shall be provided to accommodate all park- ing needs for the site. The following standards exceed the regular City standards and shall be used to determine parking requirements. Uses not covered below shall comply with regular City standards as required 1. 2. 3. 4. by Chapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Manufacture, Research, and Assembly. One space for each 500 square feet of floor area. Warehouse. One space for each 1,000 square feet of floor area for the first 20,000 square feet; one space for each 2,000 square feet of floor area for the second 20,000 square feet; one space for each 4,000 square feet of floor area for areas in excess of the initial 40,000 square feet of floor area of the building. Office. One space for each 350 square feet of gross floor area. Commercial. a) Retail and service commercial. One space for each 300 square feet of gross floor area, b) Restaurants. One space for each 100 square feet of gross floor area. c) Hotels/motels. One space for each guest room. d) Multiple use. Where two or more uses occupy a single structure, the parking requirement shall be determined by calculating the requirement for each use individually based on its proportional share of the total floor area. No change to a use requiring more parking will be allowed unless the addition? a1 parking for the new use is provided. additional parking is not added as required, the City shall deny any license of permit applications required for such uses by the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Xf -16- ." LANDSCAPING All development within the park shall be landscaped by developer in accordance with the following standards. As a portion of the total landscaping scheme of the Carlsbad Pacific Business Park, certain streets have been designated as "Special Landscaped Streets."

Where minor questions arise regarding interpretation of this Specific Plan, the Planning Director shall resolve them in a manner consistent with the Municipal Code, adopted City Plans, and with City Policy. Appeal of such decisions by the Planning Director may be appealed as presented in the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The developer or association shall be responsible for maintaining all natural canyon areas, mini- parks, all fill and cut slopes adjacent to public streets, and all special landscape areas as outlined in this text. GRADING/FOUNDATION DESIGN d) The conclusions and recommendations of the final geotechnical study required by the Subdivision Map Act shall be incorporated into the project. e) The ultimate engineering design of the project will incorporate the specific recommendations of the geology consultant relative to design criteria and foundation development. f) Clearing of ground cover in advance of actual grading operations will be avoided. DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL/WATER QUALITY g) A master plan of drainage for the site shall be prepared and submitted to the City of Carlsbad for approval in conjunction with the first tentative tract map. Such plan shall be con- sistent with the Master Drainage Plan of the City as adopted by the City Council. The developer shall be responsible for construction of any drainage facility as required as part of of tentative Map approval. -2a- A plan for siltation control for all storm runoff from the property during construction and intitial operation of the tract, and the maintenance of silt control facilities during normal operation, shall be prepared by developer and submitted to the City of Carlsbad for approval prior to approval of the final map for each element of the development. Drainage and siltation control facilities. shall be constructed by developer prior to or concurrently with grading operations. Ground cover suitable for slope erosion control will be planted and maintained by developer immediately following grading- A regular streetcleaning program will be implemented by developer or the property owner's association to minimize pollutant runoff from internal roadways related to the project. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Recognizing that a vernal pool protection plan is now being prepared by the City of San Diego in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which will more adequately delineate the criteria for and methods of protecting vernal pool resources, the southeastern portion of the site containing 17 of the 20 identified pools (See Figure 6) will be left undeveloped until such time as the vernal pool protection plan is made available and appropriate mitigation measures are implemented based on the findings of the protection plan. ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES m) A qualified archaeologist will conduct the surface collection and proper disposition of the rhyolite flake scatter (CA-SDi-7230) prior to issuance of a grading permit. n) Prior to issuance of a grading permit, developer shall conduct test-level archaeological investi- gations that will be conducted by a qualified archaeologist on sites CA-SDi-6832/W-l892/W601 and CA-SDi-6833/W-1893 that lie within the project boundary. These investigations will determine the significance and research potential of the sites. Results of these tests shall be submitted to the City. Based on the findings of the test-level investigations, final mitigation measures will be developed. Such measures could consist of recommen- dations for preservation, salvage excavation of a representative portion of the site, or clearance for development. -25- 3f Location of Vernal Pools ka i a 12 14 - 26 Developer shall be responsible for implementing the mitigation measures resulting from said tests. 0) The developer will refrain from any activity which may cause indirect or direct impacts to W-123 (p. 31, EIR 80-3). Drainage, grading, and erosion control plans will be reviewed for offsite impacts. If necessary, temporary fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the project site qdjqcent to the archaeological site as identifsed ix the El%. PALEONTOLOGICAL RES'OURCES p) A qualified paleontologist will be present at all pregrading meetings (requlred by the Ci'ty's grading ordinance) to determine at whqt .stages of grading and at what locations the paleontolbgist will be present during grading operations. q) Paleontological sites uncovered during grading operations and termed significant by the insFkcting paleontologist will be left exposed until fossi.1 collection and appropriate investigations are accomplished. LAND USE r) The northwesterly portion of the si~te 2s qdjqcent to an area designated for future residential development (See Figure 3) e This port-ion of the project site shall receive special de gn consider- ation, and a plan showing specLa1 se cks, landscape requirements, and other design features. sha,ll be submitted to the City prior to recordation of the final map. At a minimum, the following stqndqrds shall apply: i. All structures shall be set back 30 feet. from the exterior property line of the industrial park, ii.
