Find ing s
The proposed changes incorporated into the Revised Specific Plan 180 are necessary and desirable for reasons stated in the
staff report.
The proposed changes will not be detrimental to adjoining properties because of the requirement for a site development
plan as described in the staff report.
This project will not cause any significant adverse impacts on the environment because a Negative Declaration was issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and approved by the Planning Commission on September 8, 1982.
The project is consistent with all city public facility policy
and ordinances because the Specific Plan prohibits any
development on the site without the proper public improvements.
The amendments to the Specific Plan are consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan and with Sections 65451 and 65452 of the Government Code which regulate the use of Specific Plans.
Conditions
1) That all findings and conditions contained in City Council
Ordinances No. 9561 and No. 9594 originally approving SP-180 and SP-l80(A) shall still be valid and are applicable to the amendment to the Specific Plan.

RECOMMENDING AMENDMENT TO SP-180
Building Height, Page 16
Existing Language, The existing language 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,"
Proposed Language. The amended language would be:
"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 (Qr
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. Re 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.
,- e
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 ,I
2:l."
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.
All buildings within the boundaries of this specific
plan shall meet part 77 of the Federal Aviation
regulations regarding height. Building plans shall be
submitted to the FAA for review prior to city approval.

Land Use Planning Division
- ZCA-148 CITY OF CARLSBAD/SP-I8O(R) ROLL COMPANY - A
request to amend the height restriction section of the
Commercial Manufacturing Zone and a request to amend
height, parking and other sections of the Carlsbad
Research Center Specific Plan.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Roll Company has requested that the City of Carlsbad process a zone code amendment to permit building heights greater than 35
feet in the Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) Zone. The Koll
Company has also submitted an amendment to their specific plan
(Si?-180) which would amend that document to allow heights greater
than 35 feet in the Carlsbad Research Center. The proposed
specific plan amendment also incluues other changes and clean-up
provisions, including a section on compact car spaces.
11. ANALYSIS - ZCA-148 - -
Plannins Issues
1. Are heights greater than 35 feet appropriate in the CM
zone?
2. What effects will the amendment have in C-M areas of the City other than near the Airport?
Discussion
Existing - Ordinance:
-- 21.30.030 Building Height - No building
shall exceeda---K6igl?tof35 feet.
Proposed - :
21.30.030 Building Height - No building
shall exceed a heiqht- of 35 feet unless -----__--
in the C-M zone
in the C-M zone a specific plan providing provisio; for higher height has been adopted.
Staff feels that the proposed height amendment to the Commercial Manufacturing (CM) zone is appropriate because there is a demand for high quality industrial/off ice area in Carlsbad, especially in the vicinity of Palornar Airport. This type of development generally requires a greater flexibility in height limits.
The Planned Maunfacturing (P-M) zone already contains wording
regarding height which is similar to the proposed amendment.
This zone is also prevalent near the airport. The proposed
change would provide no maximum heiyht limit and in itself
permit no new structure in excess of 35 feet. It would defer height standards to the specific plan level, where a 35 foot height limit could still be maintained if desirable.
Staff does riot feel that the proposed zone code amendment will
have any negz”ive effects in the city even though there are
areas zoned C-M other than near the airport. The reason that staff feels no impacts will occur is that a specific plan must
be processed for any area requesting heights above 35 feet, the proposed provision already exists successfully in the P-M zone,
and a height increase in the airport area would not set a precedent for other areas of the City.
111. ANALYSIS - SP-180 (B)
Planning Issues
‘1. Are height limits in excess of 35 feet appropriate for
this area of Carlsbad?
2. Should the site development plan, required for heights
in excess of 35 feet be automatically forwarded to
Council?
3. Are the proposed amendments consistent with SP-180 and
the General Plan?
- Discussion
The Roll Company and Staff are proposing a number of amendments to Specific Plan SP-180 (Carlsbad Research Center) adopted in
1980. The major amendment to the specific plan involves the
incorporation of a method by which the city can approve
structures greater than 35 feet in height. The amendments proposed are as follows:
Buildins Heicrht. Pacre 16
Existing Language. The existing language 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.”
-2-
Proposed Language. The amended language would be:
"Structures up to 35 feet in heiqht 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 Funicipal 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:
7. Re 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 5hOiild 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 (I) 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:l."
No site development plan shall be approved under this specific plan until 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 satisfacticn of the Fire Chief.
-3-
Discussion
The language of this section is intended to provide the city and
future applicants with some guidelines to evaluate requests for structures in excess of 35 feet, yet still provide for flexibility through the site plan review process. Staff feels that in most cases, compliance with the design guidelines will ensure that taller structures are compatible with surrounding areas.
An issue which arises from this request concerns the approving
body of the site development plan required for structures in
excess of 35 feet. Current ordinances only require approval by
the Planning Commission, Because height can sometimes be a
sensitive issue, staff has added a provision to the specific
plan, which if approved, would send this type of site development plan to both the Planning Conmission and the City Council.
It is the feeling of staff that taller structures are appropriate
in the Carlsbad Research Center because of the close proximity of
the airport, the lack of residential uses in this area and the demand for high quality industrial/office use in the Carlsbad
Research Center (Farmers Insurance is currently requesting a 75 foot high building in this development).
Site Coveragep I- Page 16
Existing Language.
"Maximum building coverage shall not exceed 50% of the lot area. 'I
Proposed Language.
"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, maimurn 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.
Discussion -
This amendment was requested by staff and is intended to prevent
over development of the buildable portion of lots. Where lots
contain large slope areas, natural open space areas, and canyon
areas, such areas are included in the gross lot area and shall be
used to determine lot coverage.

. .. ,
Parking, Page 16
Existing Language. There is no provision for compact
parking spaces.
Proposed Language.
"The Land Use Planning Manager may approve the reduction
in size of up to 25% of the total required parking
spaces to accomodate compact cars provided that:
(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."
Discussion
Section 21.44.210 of the Municipal Code permits compact spaces
in the PM zone subject to Planning Commission approval. The
standards presented above are entirely consistent with the
provision of Section 21.44.210 except that it would allow compact spaces subject to approval by the Land Use Planninq
Manager.
Entryways, Page 23 -
Existinu Lanauaae.
"All primary entryways to the industrial park shall
receive special landscape and sign treatment. Such
treatment shall include a distinctive landscape design
consisting of groundcover and hedgerows combined with
contour berming. Signing within the entryways shall be limited to ground signs which contain only the name of the industrial park and conform to the sign and graphic standards of this plan. Plans for entryways shall be submitted to the Land Use Planning Manager for approval prior to development."
- Proeed Languaqe. The following paragraph should be
added to the above language:
"Variance #340 permits a special entryway sign at El
Camino Real and D Street. As a condition of approval of
the variance, the City determined that 'no ground signs other than the approved entry sign shall be oriented to El Carnino Real."' KJ

c
Discussion
The addition of this language simply incorporates the condition of approval of the variance into the Specific Plan.
Permitted Uses, Page 13
-- Existing Language, The existing Specific Plan permits restaurants in Area I1 (Commercial) subject to a conditional use permit.
Proposed Language. The following language would be added to the list of permitted uses in Area I (industrial).
"11. (p. 12) Restaurants, subject to the review and approval of a conditional use permit."
Discussion
This amendment would permit restaurants throughout the
development subject to a use permit. From a planning
perspective, this is desirable because it would permit the location of restaurants within walking distance of many of the projects within the development.
Sidewalk Plan, Pase 16
Existing Language.
Arterial type streets (R Street and College Boulevard) will have sidewalks meeting City Standards on both sides of the street. Local type streets may have sidewalks on
only one side of the street.
ProDosed Lanauaae.
A comprehensive sidewalk plan will be submitted for approval by the City Engineer.
Ground signs, Page 24
Existing Language. None.
Proposed Language. (addition)
3. d. No ground sign other than the approved entryway
sign shall be approved so as to be visible along El Camino Real.
Discussion
Staff feels that all the proposed amendments are consistent with the General Plan and with the approved Specific Plan, SP-180.

INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Specific Plan is to provide for the design, develop-
ment, 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. The Specific Plan is a set of standards for
development and does not provide a guarantee of approval for future discre-
tionary acts or projects within its boundaries. The area covered by this plan
shall be known as the Carlsbad Research Center.
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; 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.
LOCATION
The Carlsbad Research Center contains 559.4 acres and is located on the
west side of El Camino Real, north of Palomar Airport in the City of Carlsbad.
The general site location is shown in Figure 1. The project site is shown in
Figure 2.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS
The site is designated in the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan
as a combination district which includes Planned Industrial, Regional Service,
Community Commercial, and Travel Service 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.

LAND USE, CIRCULATION, AND PHASING
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The Carlsbad Research Center is a comprehensively planned industrial
development containing a balanced mixture of industrial, research and develop-
ment, office, and commercial uses. The project will offer industrial develop-
ment 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 com-
mercial support facilities. The land use plan (Figure 3) designates the loca-
tion 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 land-
scaped 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 mini-parks will provide
public recreational facilities. In addition, individual industrial users are
encouraged to provide private recreational facilities for employees. Many of
the steeper canyon areas will be preserved as natural open space and habitat
areas. If approved, a wastewater treatment plant and storage reservoir will
be constructed on the west end of the project.
Prior to locating a wastewater treatment plant, environmental review
shall be conducted and necessary approvals shall be obtained. Approval of
this Specific Plan does not commit the City to approval of the wastewater
treatment plant.

development standards, and environmental considerations 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 the developer in accordance with
City standards.
All local streets will be constructed by the developer to City standards
in conjunction with adjacent development. Local streets are not shown on the
specific plan land use map, but shall be shown on the applicable subdividion
maps.
PHASING
The project is planned to be developed in four phases, each containing
approximately 100 net acres as shown on the land use map. It is estimated
that each phase will cover approximately two years.
The phasing schedule has been developed in accordance with the best
information available at the time of adoption of this plan. Changes in phas-
ing may be approved by the Planning Director. If a change may cause a signif-
icant alteration to the development plan, or creates a problem with respect to
the availability of public utilities or services, or may have other signifi-
cant impacts, the Planning Director may refer the change in phasing to the
Planning Commission for approval.
Development of the Carlsbad Research Center will begin with Phase 1 as
shown in Figure 3. Phasing will be completed sequentially as shown in Figure
3. The Planning Director may approve non-sequential development providing
that public facilities have been completed to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer. Public facilities include streets, a dual water system for domestic
and reclaimed wastewater, wastewater facilities, mini-parks, landscaping,
drainage facilities, electricity, gas, and telephone. Specific improvement
plans will be prepared and submitted as required by conditions of approval on
the tentative tract map and each final map.
In order to accommodate the overall grading requirements for the entire
site, cut and fill may occur outside the boundaries of each phase subject to
approval of the City Engineer. In order to accommodate the overall utility
requirements of the entire project, utility construction may occur outside the
boundaries of each phase, subject to approval of the City Engineer.
Specific public improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the
following schedule:
A. Streets
1. All local streets shall be constructed in conjunction with adja-
cent development.
2. a. College Boulevard, as shown in Figure 3, shall be extended
from El Camino Real to Palomar Airport Road. Consistent with
the General Plan, College Boulevard shall have a finished
width of six lanes on a total right-of-way of 102 feet.
b. The developer shall, at the time requested by the City, con-
struct and dedicate College Boulevard to City standards for
those portions of the road within the Specific Plan area.
The City may request installation of College Boulevard based
upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events:
1) Increase of 5,000 VPD in ADT (based on Fall 1980 traffic
counts) on El Camino Real between Tamarack and Palomar
Airport Road;
2) Increase of 5,000 VPD in ADT (based on Fall 1980 traffic
counts) on Palomar Airport Road between El Camino Real and
Paseo del Norte;
3) Approval of a tentative map for an area in Phases II
through IV inclusive.
In lieu of construction of the full width of College Boule-
vard at one time, the City Engineer may at his discretion and
at the developer's request permit construction of a 32-foot
wide portion of road in conformance with City standards. If
the road is constructed in this manner, the developer shall
install or guarantee the full width prior to issuance of a
final map for property abutting any portion of the road; or,
if traffic counts warrant, the City Engineer may require
additional construction of the full width at any time.
Regardless of whether the road is constructed to full width
at one time, the developer shall dedicate the entire 102-foot
right-of-way at one time.
c. At the time any portion of College Road is constructed,
developer shall construct and dedicate a two-lane road, in
conformance with City standards, from the Specific Plan boun-
daries to Palomar Airport Road. This roadway shall have a
minimum width of 32 feet and a 53-foot right-of-way which
shall constitute a portion of the 102-foot total right-of-
way. To assist in acquisition of the property necessary for
the right-of-way, the developer may request that the City
exercise its power of eminent domain, provided, however, that
the developer shall bear the cost of such proceeding. The
City engineer may at his discretion approve another addition-
al connection between the project site and Palomar Airport
Road provided that the alternate provides for adequate circu-
lation.
d. The developer may, at his option, install the full six-lane
road from El Camino Real to Palomar Airport Road at the time
any portion of College Boulevard is developed. To fund the
roadway, the developer may initiate an assessment district
under City jurisdiction or may request in writing that the
City take advantage of the provisions for reimbursement for
major thoroughfares pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act. The
City will use its best efforts to obtain reimbursement for
the developer for those portions of College Boulevard outside
the boundaries of the specific plan. The terms of such
reimbursement shall be upon mutual agreement between the City
and the developer.
3. B Street, as shown in Figure 3, shall be constructed and dedicat-
ed between El Camino Real and College Boulevard at the time any
portion of College Boulevard is constructed, provided, however,
that the portion of B Street abutting Phase I shall be construct-
ed and dedicated before any final map for property in Phase I is
issued.
4. D Street shall end in a cul-de-sac and shall not intersect with
El Camino Real.
B. Traffic Signals
1. Signals at Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real, Palomar Air-
port Road and College Boulevard, and College Boulevard and El
Camino Real will be paid for by the City through appropriate fees
and/or agreements. Signals will be installed at such time as the
City feels traffic warrants them necessary.
2. The developer shall sign a signal agreement, secured by a bond in
favor of the City, which guarantees that costs for signals at
College Boulevard and B Street, and College Boulevard and N
Street, will be borne by the developer when the City determines
that traffic warrants them necessary.
3. The developer shall sign a signal agreement, secured by a bond in
favor of the City, which guarantees that one-half the cost of the
signal at El Camino Real and B Street will be borne by the devel-
oper. This signal will be installed prior to issuance of any
building permits for the site. The other half of the cost of
this signal will be borne by the City through appropriate fees
and/or agreements.
C. Mini-Parks
Mini-parks will be considered the same as other public facilities in
relation to phasing. Mini-parks shown along special landscape
streets, as shown in Figure 3, shall be built by the developer in
conjunction with those special landscape streets which they abut (see
Condition D, Landscaping). Mini-parks on interior streets will be
constructed by the developer prior to development of 60% of the acre-
age of the entire phase within which they are located.
D. Landscaping
Landscaping for special landscape streets shall be installed by the
developer in conjunction with development, except for El Camino Real
adjacent to Phase I, where special landscaping shall be installed
prior to any occupancy for the first phase of development.
10

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The intent of this section is to provide the maximum opportunity for cre-
ative site planning and building design on individual parcels, while ensuring
that the development is established and maintained in a manner consistent with
a high-quality industrial park development. Due to the curvilinear nature of
the street pattern, difference in pad elevations, range of lot sizes, and mix-
ture of proposed land uses, there will be a pleasing variety of setbacks, sep-
arations 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 o? any streetside property line, adjacent to an
arterial or collector street or within 20 feet of any
streetside property line adjacent to a local street as
defined in Landscape section, except that unsupported roofs
or sun screens may project six 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 land-
scaped streets or within 10 feet of the streetside
property line of other streets.
c. Landscaping;
d. Planters, architectural fences, or walls not to exceed
three feet 42 inches in height.
In the case of through lots extending from street to
street, both street frontages shall be treated as a street-
side setback.
For purposes of this section, an arterial street shall mean
El Camino Real, College Boulevard, and B Street; a collec-
tor street shall mean any interior street which loops or is
part of a loop; and a local street shall mean all cul-de-
sacs.
16
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. Figures 4, 5, and 6 represent a graphic example of how set-
backs on special streets and interior streets should be
treated. Treatment is not limited to the method depicted
in this graphic, however.
SIDEWALKS
Arterial type streets (B Street and College Boulevard) will have side-
walks meeting City standards on both sides of the street. Local type streets
may have sidewalks on only one "side of the street.
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 Spe-
cific Plan.
PARKING
Offstreet parking shall be provided to accommodate all parking needs for
the site. No parking shall be allowed on arterial type streets (B Street and
College Boulevard).
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 by Chapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
1. Manufacture, Research, and Assembly. One space for each
500 square feet of floor area.
2. 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.
3. Office. One space for each 350 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 individual-
ly based on its proportional share of the total floor
area. No change to a use requiring more parking will
be allowed unless the additional parking for the new
use is provided. If additional parking is not added as
required, the City shall deny any license or permit
applications required for such uses by the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
LANDSCAPING
All development within the park shall be landscaped by the developer in
accordance with the following standards. As a portion of the total landscap-
ing scheme of the Carlsbad Research Center, certain streets have been desig-
nated as "Special Landscaped Streets." Landscape treatment along the frontag-
es of said streets requires special consideration and therefore is referred to
under separate sections in the following landscaping standards.
The Carlsbad Research Center will contain and the developer shall install
a dual water system so that all landscaped areas will be maintained with
reclaimed water.
1. General Requirements. A minimum of 15% of each building
site shall belandscaped. All landscaped areas shall 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, groundcover, and shrubbery.
b. Special Landscaped Street (El Camino Real, College
Boulevard, and Street 8). The entire area between the
curb and the building setback line shall be landscaped,
except for any approved driveway in said area.
21
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 approved driveway in said
area.
* d. Berms. The landscape plans for all streetside setbacks
shal l 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 parking lot curb, whichever is high-
§ er. If the parking area is more than 36 inches below
street level, the berm may be 18 inches (above the
street). Where the entire area between the street and
the building is to be landscaped and is free of park-
ing, the berms may be lowered or eliminated (see Figure
7 for graphic example of typical streetscape and berm-
t ing).
e. Intersections. Landscaping and berms, except trees,
along all streets and boundaries shall be limited to a
height of not more than 2-1/2 feet within the triangle
bounded by a line drawn between points 35 feet distant
Q from the intersection of the right-of-way lines pro-
longed.
3. Interior Setbacks
T.General Statement. All unpaved areas not utilized for
parking and storage, or designated undeveloped areas,
^ shall be landscaped utilizing groundcover and/or shrub
and tree materials.
b. Undeveloped Areas. Undeveloped or unpaved areas pro-
posedforfuture expansion shall be maintained by
developer/owner/lessee in a weed-free condition, but
need not be landscaped.
c. Screening. Areas used for parking shall be landscaped
in such a manner as to interrupt or screen said areas
from view from access streets and adjacent properties.
Plant m aterials used for this purpose shall consist of
lineal or grouped masses of shrubs and/or trees.
4. Parking Areas. Trees, equal in number to one per each five
parking stalls, shall be provided in the area. The trees
may be distributed evenly throughout the area or may be
grouped or clustered in order to create a random pattern.

GENERAL NOTES AND MITIGATION MEASURES
The following general notes and mitigation measures shall control overall
development of the Carlsbad Research Center. The developer shall be respons-
ible for implementing the mitigation measures of this part of the plan, which
is based on the EIR for the project.
GENERAL
1. Except as specified in this plan, the requirements of the C-M zone and
all other applicable provisions of the zoning, subdivision, grading, and
building codes of the City of Carlsbad shall apply.
2. 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. Such
decisions by the Planning Director may be appealed as presented in the
Carlsbad Municipal Code.
3. The developer or association shall be responsible for maintaining all
natural canyon areas, mini-parks, fill and cut slopes adjacent to public
streets, and special landscaped areas as outlined in this text.
GRADING/FOUNDATION DESIGN
4. The conclusions and recommendations of the final geotechnical study
required by the Subdivision Map Act shall be incorporated into the proj-
ect.
5. The ultimate engineering design of the project will incorporate the spe-
cific recommendations of the geology consultant relative to design cri-
teria and foundation development.
6. Clearing of groundcover in advance of actual grading operations will be
avoided.
DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL/WATER QUALITY
7. 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 consistent with the Master Drainage Plan
of the City as adopted by the City Council. The developer shall be
responsible for constructing any drainage facility required as part of
tentative map approval.
8. A plan for siltation control of all storm runoff from the property during
construction and initial operation of the tract, and maintenance of silt
control facilities during normal operation, shall be prepared by the
developer and submitted to the City of Carlsbad for approval prior to
approval of the final map for each element of the development.
28
9. Drainage and siltation control facilities shall be constructed by the
developer prior to or concurrent with grading operations.
10. Groundcover suitable for slope erosion control will be planted and main-
tained by the developer immediately following grading.
11. A regular streetcleaning program will be implemented by the developer or
the property owners' association to minimize pollutant runoff from inter-
nal roadways related to the project.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
12. The southeastern portion of the site contains identified vernal pools
(Figure 8). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has indicated that they
have no permit jurisdiction with respect to these pools. The City has
adopted overriding considerations in order to allow these areas to be
developed.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
13. 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.
14. Prior, to issuance of a grading permit, the developer shall hire a quali-
fied archaeologist to conduct test-level investigations on sites CA-SDi-
6832/W-1892/W601 and CA-SDi-6833/W-1893 which lie within the project
boundary. These investigations will determine the significance and
research potential of the sites. Results of these tests shall be submit-
ted to the City. Based on the findings of the test-level investigations,
final mitigation measures will be developed. Such measures could consist
of recommendations for preservation, salvage excavation of a representa-
tive portion of the site, or clearance for development. The developer
shall be responsible for implementing the mitigation measures resulting
from said tests.
15. The developer will refrain from any activity which may cause indirect or
direct impacts to W-123 (Page 31, EIR 80-3). Drainage, grading, and ero-
sion control plans will be reviewed for offsite impacts. If necessary,
temporary fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the project
site adjacent to the archaeological site, as identified in the EIR.
PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES
16. A qualified paleontologist will be present at all pregrade meetings (as
required by the City's grading ordinance) to determine at what stages of
grading and at what locations the paleontologist will be present during
grading operations.

nificant by the inspecting paleontologist will be left exposed until
fossil collection and appropriate investigations are accomplished.
LAND USE
18. The northwesterly portion of the site is adjacent to an area designated
for future residential development (Figure 3). This portion of the proj-
ect site shall receive special design consideration, and a plan showing
special setbacks, landscape requirements, and other design features shall
be submitted to the City prior to recordation of the final map. At a
minimum, the following standards shall apply:
a. All structures shall be set back 30 feet from the exterior prop-
erty line of the industrial park.
b. No loading docks, outdoor storage areas, or refuse collection
areas shall be permitted within 70 feet of the exterior property
line of the industrial park.
c. All areas within 70 feet of the exterior property line of the
industrial park not used for parking shall be landscaped.
d. All ground-level and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be com-
pletely screened with concrete block or wood material.
e. All lighting shall be located and shaded in order to preclude
any direct illumination offsite.
It should be noted that the adjacent residential development shares the
responsibility for ensuring that an adequate buffer area is provided, and
the design of that project should prevent residential uses from conflict-
ing with industrial uses.
19. All landscaping along street rights-of-way shall be installed in accord-
ance with a landscape plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect.
Said plan shall be submitted in conjunction with the final map for each
element of the development.
CIRCULATION
20. All recommendations included in the traffic study regarding intersection
geometries and roadway assignments will be incorporated into the project
as a requirement for development unless otherwise addressed.
NOISE
21. Portions of the specific plan area are subject to adverse noise impacts
from Palomar Airport. Noise-sensitive uses (e.g., recording studies,
some medical offices, etc.) will be advised to locate away from areas
* «
I • • *
31
experiencing high community noise equivalent levels (CNEL). The devel-
oper shall include provisions in the CCRs strongly recommending sound
attenuation measures be incorporated in construction of buildings to be
located within the 65 CNEL range. The CCRs shall also reflect the terms
of this condition to put people on notice of the noise problem.
SERVICES AND UTILITIES
22. No development in the Specific Plan area shall occur until the City Coun-
cil has determined that sewer service will be adequate to serve the site.
The City of Carlsbad has approved in concept a Wastewater Reclamation
Master Plan. The project sponsor will conduct a site-specific study to
determine the feasibility of implementing part of the plan by construct-
ing an onsite satellite treatment plant to service the site and surround-
ing area. All appropriate environmental and planning analysis will be
conducted in relation to the proposed treatment facility.
