EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 9646 AMENDING SP-l80(A) - A REVISED SPECIFIC PLAN KNOWN AS CARLSBAD RESEARCH CENTER 1. Building Height, Page 16 Delete the the existing language which reads as follows: "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." Add the amended language to read: "Structures up to 35 feet in height are permitted in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Structures may exceed 35 feet provided that a site development plan is first submitted by the applicant and approved by the Planning Commission in accordance with Chapter 21.06 (Q, Development Overlay Zone) of the Municipal Code, except that the site development plan shall also be submitted to the City Council for approval following approval by the Planning Commission. The major intent and purpose of the site plan review shall be to ensure that structures in excess of 35 feet will: 1. Be designed and located to provide adequate setbacks from adjacent public streets and adjacent properties. 2. Not adversely impact other developments in the area. 3. Not create excessive density. In evaluating the Site Plan, the following design guidelines should be considered: 1. Setbacks. The required streetside setbacks for any arterial or collector street should be increased by one (1) foot for each one (1) foot of building height in excess of 35 feet. The required streetside setback for any local street or any interior setback should be increased by one- half (1/2) foot for each one (1) foot of building height in excess of 35 feet. In order to encourage variation in setbacks and building heights, these increased setbacks shall apply only to building elements exceeding 35 feet. Thus, a low-rise element could observe the original setbacks, and taller elements have increased setbacks . 2. Floor Area Ratio. Buildings exceeding 35 feet in height should have a maximum floor area ratio of 2: 1 .I' No site development plan shall be approved under this specific plan until that finding can be made that all buildings in excess of 35 feet in height have an interior sprinkler system and that fire prevention and fire suppression materials and/or equipment have been incorporated into buildings over 35 feet to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit evidence of approval from the FAA. 2. Site Coverage, Page 16 Delete the existing language which reads as follows: "Maximum building coverage shall not exceed 50% of the lot area." Add the amended language which reads: "The maximum building coverage of all buildings including accessory buildings, but not including parking structures or surface parking, shall not exceed 50% of the gross lot area. However, in order to prevent excessive coverage of the buildable portion of such lots, maximum coverage shall be limited to 75% of the buildable area or 50% of the gross lot area, whichever is less. The buildable area of the lot is defined as the gross lot area minus those slope areas, natural open space areas, and canyon areas included in the common space maintenance easements." 3. Parking, Page 16 Add the amended language which reads as follows: "The Land Use Planning Manager may approve the reduction in size of up to 25% of the total required parking spaces to accommodate compact cars provided that: -2- (a) Compact car spaces are located in separate parking aisles from standard-sized spaces; (b) Aisles and spaces for compact car spaces are clearly marked with permanent material denoting 'Compact Car Only'; (c) Compact car spaces shall be located in close proximity to the facility which they serve so as to encourage their maximum usage; (d) Compact car spaces must be a minimum width of 7- 1/2 feet and a minimum length of 15 feet." 4.

Add the following paragraph to the existing language indicated above: "Variance #340 permits a special entryway sign at El Camino Real and D Street.
