DATE: DEPARTMENT: CITY OF CARLSBAD November 15, 1977 Initial: Dept.Hd. /s/ Pub Iic Works C. Atty.__/£/_ C. Mgr. /s/ Subject:EXCEPTION TO SEWER MORATORIUM HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY Statement of the Matter Section 18.05.020 (10) of the Municipal Code provides for exceptions to the sewer moratorium if the Council makes certain findings. Application has been made on behalf of Hughes Aircraft Company for additional sewer connections so that they might complete a portion of their present fa- cility which has never been finished out and occupied. The existing facility contains approximately 66,000 square feet of industrial and office space with- in the exterior building shell. The applicant proposes to install the floors, electrical and mechanical facilities required to provide for occupancy as workloads demand. The improvements outlined in the applicant's letters would require an additional eight equivalent dwelling units. All conditions neces- sary to meet Code requirements for exception appear to have been met. As outlined in my October 27, 1977 report (with verbal correction) there were 107 EDUs remaining. From that,29 additional EDUs (granted by City Council on November I, 1977 for Tanglewood,, and the County shredder) must be : subtracted, leaving 78 EDUs. Granting this request would reduce that figure to 70 EDUs. Exhibits 1. Letter from Hughes Aircraft Company dated October 18, 1977 2. Letter from Hughes Aircraft Company dated October 31, 1977. 3.

HUGHES HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY 6155 El Camino Real • Carlsbad, California 92008 • Phone: (714) 438-9191 • TWX: 910-322-1393 18 October 77 City Council City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Attention:Mr. Paul Bussey City Manager Dear Mr. Bussey: As we discussed previously, it is my understanding that the present moratorium on building permits does in fact apply to the interior com- pletion of the presently constructed but unoccupied area of the Hughes Industrial Products Division Facility at 6155 El Camino Real. The unoccupied area consists of 24,000 square feet of office area and 42,000 square feet of manufacturing area primarily for electronic assembly. These areas are within the present structure and separated from the occupied portion by a temporary wall, erected to conserve energy, which will be re- located or removed entirely. The completion of these areas was delayed during the initial construction until product requirements could be more accurately determined and additional funding could be obtained. Had we anticipated at the time of initial construction that we would be included under such a moratorium our plans would certainly have been modified to complete the building interior on the original permit. We are now in the process of obtaining an architectural firm to complete the necessary drawings and requirements in preparation of an application for necessary building permits for this interior construction. Space require- ments for new programs now require that this construction begin immediately which necessitates that our permit be granted in an expeditious manner. For this reason we are appealing to the City Council for an exemption from the moratorium to enable us to proceed with the design with assurance of being granted necessary permits for construction.

The plan is to pour a concrete floor in this area and add the necessary lighting and services as required for mechanical and electronic assembly operations. The present plan for 1978 is to occupy approximately 2000 square feet of the manufacturing area and the balance will continue to be used as storage until further programs dictate the need for additional space. The unoccupied office area now consists of 12,000 square feet within the existing perimeter walls and roof with dirt floors and minimum lighting. Existing columns and footings were designed and constructed to accommodate an additional 12,000 square feet on the second floor. The plan for 1978 is to complete the downstairs offices in a configu- ration similar to the present occupied area and pour the floor only for the second story. The second floor offices will be completed at some future date depending on program requirements and will be similar to the existing second floor office arrangement. During this phase of construction the second floor restrooms may also be completed using planned extension of the existing lines for a similar restroom directly below. For the purpose of computing sewage requirements the additional restrooms will consist of eight water closets, five lava- tories , and four urinals. The projected estimate for increasing manpower over the next five years is shown below: .rst.

These are to be adjacent to the present parking area which is located on the South side of the facility. The plan for 1978 is to add 78 additional parking spaces with necessary access lanes. If there is any further information that you will require for the Council to react favorably to our request, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, R. H. gjifder Facilities Manager RHS/s cc: B.
