design, development, and operation of a high-quality
industrial park within the City of Carlsbad. 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.

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.

The Specific Plan determines land use for the site by
defining specific land use areas within the combination
district. 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.

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

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." Landscape treatment along
the frontages of said streets requires special consideration and therefore is referred to under separate sections in the following landscaping standards.
The Carlsbad Pacific Business Park will contain and the
developer shall install a dual water system, so that all landscaped areas will be maintained with reclaimed water.
1. General Requirement. A minimum of 15% of each
building site shall be landscaped. All landscaped areas ahall be provided with irrigation systems and shall be maintained in a neat and orderly fashion. The required landscaping may be distributed in any fashion, but shall at a minimum include the following areas.
2. Streetside Setback Area.
a. General Statement: Landscaping in these areas shall consist of an effective combination
of street trees, trees, ground cover, and
shrubbery.
b. Special Landscaped Street (El Camino Real,
College Boulevard, and Street B): The entire area between the curb and the building setback
line shall be landscaped, except for any
driveway in said area.
c. Other Streets: The entire area between the curb and a point 10 feet in back of the front property line shall be landscaped except for any driveway in said area.
d. Berms: The landscape plans for all streetside
setbacks shall include landscaped berms except as noted below. The average height of such berms shall be 42 inches for special landscape streets and 30 inches for all other streets. The height of the berm shall be measured from the street curb or the parking lot curb, whichever is higher. If the parking area is more than 36 inches below street level, the berm may be to 18 inches (above the street).
Where the entire area between the street building is to be landscaped and is free of parking, the berms may be lowered or elimin- ated (See Figure 5 for graphic example of typical streetscape and berming).

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.
