TITLE: REQUEST FOR A 67 LOT INDUSTRIAL DEPT - SUBDIVISION MTG.+ CT 85-24 - CARLSBAD RESEARCH CENTER 'Iw
a7 AB# d% ,
DEPT. PLN (KOLL) CITY
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the
Council direct the City Attorney's Office to prepare document
APPROVING CT 85-24.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The applicant is requesting a 67 lot industrial/off ice
subdivision on approximately 365 acres located near the
intersection of College Boulevard and Faraday Avenue in the
Carlsbad Research Center as shown on the attached location ma]
This area was originally Phases I11 and IV of CT 81-10 (Koll Company) approved in 1981. These phases have expired and the applicant has resubmitted. The General Plan for the site is 1
(Commercial Manufacturing) and the property is also governed Specific Plan (SP-180).
Both the Planning Commission and staff felt that the proposed
is in conformance with the General Plan and with SP-180. Lot: range in size from 1.7 acres to 29 acres and the project is vc similar to the previously approved subdivision.
The major issues before the Planning Commission involve the
addition of a condition requiring a Planned Industrial Permit
(PIP) for future development in this subdivision and the addii
of a condition similar to those placed on earlier Daon projeci
which requires the developer to submit a plan for improvement! Palomar Airport Road prior to final map approval.
The Commission felt that the PIP was a good idea as it is
currently utilized in the PM (Planned Manufacturing) zone wit1 problems. Based on advice from the Attorney's Office the
Commission decided not to apply the condition directly but directed staff to proceed with an amendment to either the Specific Plan or the C-M zone so that the PIP would apply to t
entire project. The Planning Commission also chose to include
the condition (#54 of Planning Commission Resolution 2508, attached) regarding improvements to Palomar Airport Road.
Both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending appro1 as conditioned. For further information please see the attacl staff report to the Planning Commission.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project was considered under a previous environmental img report certified by the City Council. A Notice of Prior
Compliance was issued by the Planning Director on October 5, 1985.

FISCAL IMPACT
The increased need for city capital facilities resulting from development will be offset by the payment of the public facili
fee. Any capital facilities related directly to this developn will be constructed and paid for by the developer.
Increased operating expenses related to this development will offset to some extent from increased tax or fee revenue generz by the development. No detailed economic impact analysis of 1 development has been conducted at this time so predictions of portion of operating expenses covered by additional operating
revenue created as a result of this project cannot be made.

FROM: LAND USE PLANNING OFFICE
SUBJECT: CT 85-24 - CARLSBAD RESEARCH CENTER - Request for a 67
lot industrial subdivision on approximately 365 acres
located west of El Camino Real and north of Palomar Airport in the CM zone.
I. RECOMMENDAT ION
That the Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the Prior Compliance issued by the Land Use Plannhg Manager and ADOPT Resolution No. 2508 recommending APPROVAL of CT 85-24 bmon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a 67 lot industrial subdivision on approximately 365 acres at the above mentioned location. This area originally existed as Phases I11 and IV of CT 81-10, Koll Company, which was approved in 1981. Phases 111 and IV of this map have expired and have now been proposed, with minor revisions, as three phases.
The lots range in size from 1.7 acres to 29.0 acres. The
majority of lots are between 2 - 6 acres in size. Lot 102 of the map was originally designated as a site for a potential wastewater reclamation facility. It is now being proposed as an
additional industrial lot; however the City still feels that ultimately a wastewater reclamation facility may be desirable. Staff is conditioning this project to keep Lot 102 for such a use to comply with the Council's original intent to keep this concept as a possibility for at least 10 years. Lot 110 of Phasc
IV, the largest lot, would serve as a potential reservoir site. With the exception of the four corner lots at the intersection of College Boulevard and Faraday Avenue, the remaining lots would be for industrial purposes although open space corridors would be located throughout the project.
In addition to the primary and secondary street systems, a
number of cul-de-sacs are proposed throughout the project. These cul-de-sacs would provide access to the majority of the lots and reduce the need for direct access onto the major streets. Access points have been indicated as part of the

To provide the street system and to create buildable pads, a substantial amount of grading will take place. Approximately 2,740,000 cubic yards of dirt will be moved. The average amount
of grading would be 36,521 cubic yards per lot or 7,508 cubic yards per acre. Approximately 75 percent of the site will be affected by grading. previously approved for this site when the Specific Plan for thc
property was approved. This report addressed grading and determined that adequate mitigation measures would be provided
to reduce the environmental impacts of grading to an insignificant level.

Planning Issues
1) Is the proposed tentative map in compliance with SP-l80(A)?
2) Is the street circulation system designed to provide
effective emergency access and adequate access to adjacent
properties?
Staff believes the proposed tentative map is in compliance with SP-180 because the revisions submitted vary only slightly from the original tentative map. Lot sizes, elevations, and grading
amounts have remained almost the same. Proposed changes
include: 1) specific placement of mini-parks: 2) the realignment of Street "P"; and 3) the addition of specific access points.
1) Mini-parks - Specific Plan 180 required eight mini-parks to
be located within the development. In the first two phases
only one park has been installed. Staff feels very strongl:
that the mini-parks should be provided due to the lack of
eating establishments in office and industrial zones.
Outdoor eating areas would be functional as well as visuall:
pleasing. Staff felt it was important to indicate these
areas on the tentative map to prevent confusion and
oversight as the area is developed. The mini-parks are now disbursed evenly throughout Phases 111, IV and V. Staff ha: added a condition concerning the design of these mini-parks
2) Realignment of Street "P" - On the original map, Street "I?" was locatd, north-south, between Lots 99 and 100. At that
north had not yet been received. Preliminary plans have recently been submitted which prompted the realignment of
Street "p" to provide a compatible circulation system for both projects, as well as a possible alignment with areas further north.

3) Access Points - The original tentative map did not indicate specific access points for driveways but placed many lots o cul-de-sacs to encourage access from these streets rather than the collectors. Traffic conflicts have arisen on both Faraday Avenue and Rutherford Road because as development

Faraday Avenue
The west end of Faraday Avenue is essentially a cul-de-sac
which will eventually be extended through Macario Canyon Park to Cannon Road. This issue was of concern during the original review due to the length of the cul-de-sac (over
4,500 feet) which is too long to provide safe emergency access to development on this street. Staff is continuing tc
recommend a condition of approval requiring the connection of
Faraday Avenue to another public street prior to development
of Lots 92-109. This may possibly delay the development of
this portion of the project, however, staff feels this
connection is critical in the event the street is cut off
during an emergency.
The precise off site alignment of Faraday Avenue through
Macario Canyon has not been determined at this time. Prior to approval of improvement plans, the applicant will be
required to provide enough offsite alignment to demonstrate the feasibility of a connection between Faraday Avenue and
Cannon Road through Macario Canyon Park.
Lots 97 - 100
These lots will back up to the proposed Evans Point
residential property to the north which in this area will
consist of single-family lots. This close proximity was a
concern during the original review and provisions were made in the Specific Plan to provide greater setbacks and landscaped buffers on these four lots. Presently, staff is
recommending a condition restricting development of these lots to office uses rather than more intense industrial uses
the two uses.
Staff believes this will further increase compatibility of

Fox Property
This property is a 50 acre parcel located adjacent to the northeast corner of the proposed subdivision and is under County jurisdiction. The original map provided an access point, Street "T", to the property. During the present
review, staff again examined the issue to determine if an additional access point could be provided at the southern boundary of the property. Due to the steep topography and difference in elevation, however, Engineering staff did not believe there were any feasible points of access along the southern property line.
Overall, staff believes the proposed tentative map is in conformance with SP-lSO(A) and that the proposed subdivision is an improvement over the original approval, Staff, therefore,
recommends approval of CT 85-24.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that the
environmental effects of the project described above have
already been considered in con junction with previously certified environmental documents and, therefore, no additional
environmental review will be required and a Notice of Determination will be filed. A Notice of Prior Environmental Compliance was issued on October 5, 1985.
