SEWER PERMIT - INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, NORTHWEST CORNER OF EL CAMINO
REAL AND CAMINO VIDA ROBLES.
APPLICANT: ROLL COMPANY
Statement of the Matter
The subject request is the second under the second revision of the first phase sewer
allocation system. This second revision contains 81 equivalent dwelling units
(e.d.u's) for industrial uses within the contingency category. This was done to
reserve capacity rather than allocating a fixed amount immediately as in the other
land use categories. It was anticipated that there will be a continuous need for
sewer capacity for industrial land uses.
Fifteen e.d.u's have already been granted from the original 81 set aside for industrial
allocation, leaving 66 to be allocated.
The request is for three buildings designed as modulars that would allow uf> to 60
individual units. However, according to the applicant, in a letter dated March 2, 1978,
it appears that these units are not yet leased to any occupant.
Soil reports on the adjacent property indicate that a septic system would be feasible
on this site. The applicant claims that the sewage will only be domestic; there will
be no industrial waste, showers, or cooking facilities. The applicant indicates that
16 e.d.u's would be required. The City Engineer has reviewed the applicant's request
and finds that 60 e.d.u's will be required to service the anticipated flow, using
the present method of considering each sewer outlet as an e.d.u.
On this same agenda, the City Engineer will inform the Council of other methods of
calculating e.d.u's. If the City Council chooses a different method for such
calculation, the e.d.u count will probably change.

RECOMMENDATION
If the City Council wishes to allocate sewer, as requested, the _ City Council should
direct the City Attorney to prepare documents allocating capacity on the basis
of 60 EDO's. If the City later adopts a system for commercial and
industrial development which more directly reflects the actual sewer
use, any difference between the EDO's for this project and actual
capacity can be added to our industrial capacity and be readjusted.

Based on the proposed revised definition of equivalent dwelling units
(EDU) the Koll project will require 31 EDUs of sewer capacity. This
is based on one EDU for each 1800 square feet of floor area or fraction
thereof. The floor area of the proposed structures is reported by the
applicant to be 54,160 square feet.

RE: Industrial Sewer Allocation
Honorable City Manager and Council, City of' Carlsbad:
The Koll Company requests a sew&r allocation for our planned
industrial park on a four acre site in the Palomar Airport
Business Park.
The Koll Company, known for its' innovation and development
of the multi-occupancy industrial project, is proud to have
built over two million square feet of this type of project in
San Diego County alone. It is with this kind of expertise
and innovation that we propose to build our Palomar Airport
Business Park, which should generate approximately 150 new
jobs in Carlsbad.
Located at the northwest intersection of El Camino Real &
Camino Vida Roble, the park will contain, in three buildings,
a total of 54,160 square feet of multiple occupancy industrial
space. The buildings will be divisible into sixty spaces as
small as 700 square feet and as large as 1225 square feet for
a single space. Any number of these smaller units can be com-
bined to create a larger space as required by the occupant.
The typical occupant will fit into one of the following cate-
gories: light distribution, light manufacturing, processing,
wholesalers, contractors and service orientated businesses;
all of which shall be of a non-polluting nature. To assure
this, and a lasting quality to this project, covenants, con-
ditions and restrictions are recorded against the property.
Because of the nature of the occupants, only domestic sewage
will be created. There will not be any showers, bathtubs or
cooking facilities. Flushometers will be used on all water
closets. Watersaving fixtures and devises will be used where
possible. An automatic irrigation system with a wet weather
shut off will be used to conserve water.

Honorable City Manager and Council
Taking all of these factors into account, we anticipate that
the proposed sixy units (this is a maximum number of units
each unit having one lavatory and one water closet) will
generate approximately 4500 gallons of domestic sewage per
day. This would be equivalent to the amount generated by
sixteen dwelling units or 16 E.D.U. (see Engineers calcu-
lations attached).
Recognizing this and knowing that a lateral has already been
provided to this property, therefore requiring no further
public improvements and understanding that a septic system
is usable as a temporary remedy at best, we would,hope that
you would grant us the required sewer allocation.
•If this allocation is approved, we will be able to proceed
with our final design and be ready to apply for a building
permit within 30 days.

MEMORANDUM - March 13, 1978

TO: Bud Plender, Assistant Planning Director
FROM: City Engineer
SUBJECT: Koll Company - Request for Industrial Sewer Connection Allocation
You have asked me to review the floor plans for the proposed Koll project
(Palomar Airport Business Park) to determine the total number of sewer con-
nections requested. Based on the policy of counting each water closet and
sink as an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) there are 60 proposed sewer con-
nections, for a potential sewer connection charge of $52,500 (60 x [$500 +
$375] = $52,500).
There are 54,160 square feet of buildings proposed. Using another method
that relates to domestic sewage only, and the possibility of one employee
for each 100 - 120 square feet of building, each using 20 - 40 gallons per
day, then a realistic anticipated flow rate would be 8,665 - 21,664 gallons
per day sewage. Using 280 gallons per day per EDU, this would equate to a
range of 31 - 71 EDU. .-=-..
The applicant has submitted information that there will be one employee per
361 square feet of building, while I used one employee per 100 - 125 square
feet.
•In any event, the use of EDU for sewer connection (and fee) determination
does average out a wide range of uses. As an example, a restaurant may be
counted as only 2 or 3 EDU while the "domestic" sewage flow could be the
equivalent of 3,000 - 5,000 gallons per day. Since the present EDU system
is based on these averages, the EDU determination on this application should
be consistent (i.e. 60 EDU).

Re: Koll Project Sewer Application
Dear Bud:
After a great deal of thought and evaluation, I feel the Koll Project can be
served very adequately with a septic system. In the best interest of both
the city and Palomar Airport Business Park, I feel Roll's application should
be denied.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: USES IN THE P-M ZONE
Recently the Carlsbad City Council approved sewer
connections for a development of yours v;ithin the P-M Zone at
Palomar Airport Business Park. The site plan presented to the
Council indicates industrial buildings, which are permitted
in the P-M Zone. However, because the individual leased units
will be relatively small, there may be requests to lease space
for service offices or commercial enterprises. Since this is
a possibility, I wish to remind you early that in the P-M Zone
such commercial and office services are permitted only by
Conditional Use Permit and further provided that the services
are to serve the industrial site. ;"
If your desire is retail or office services for some
of the leases, you may wish to apply for a "blanket" Conditional
Use Permit that would cover possible retail or service uses.
There is no guarantee of a favorable action on such Conditional
Use Permit because we would have to analyze the types of uses
you wish to consider and the development such as available
parking. I inform you of the Conditional Use Permit requirements
only to insure understanding of the P-M Zone use requirements
prior to your firm entering into leases with enterprises that
may not be permitted in the P-M Zone.
If you have any further questions on this matter,
please call Don Rose of my office.
Sincerely,
James C. Hagaman
