& TITLE: ZONE 5 - LOCAL FACILITIE
MANAGEMENT PLAN (LFMP-5) AB#-
DEPT. PLN CITY n
MTG. 8/4/87
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the Ci
Council ADOPT the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolution No. 7/88 APPROVING the Local
Facilities Management Plan Zone 5.
ITEM EXPLANATION
Zone 5 is the fourth Local Facilities Management Plan to be
scheduled for a public hearing before the City Council. The
Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider this Loc Faci'lities Management Plan on 3uly 1, 1987 and following the
public hearing recommended moving the plan forward for City
Council approval.
Zone 5 is located in the center of Carlsbad at the intersectio of the City's four quadrants and is comprised exclusively of n residential land uses including industrial, office and related commercial. Approximately one-fifth of the Zone is currently
built out with about 4,000,000 square feet of building area.
Approximately 7,800 employees are located in the Zone during t
square feet of building area and at least 40,000 employees wit
Zone 5.
Of the eleven public facilities being analyzed in the Local
Facilities Managment Plan for Zone 5, the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the analysis of six of the facilities
without additional comment. The remaining five have some issut
associated with the recommendations from the Planning Commissic
and are discussed in the attached memo to the City Manager datc
3uly 8, 1987. The Planning Commission is recommending approva:
of these facilities as discussed in the memo.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A Negative Declaration was issued by the Planning Director on
3une 5, 1987 indicating that the Local Facilities Management P1
for Zone 5 is not anticipated to have any significant adverse
work day, At buildout it is projected there will be 22,000,001
impacts on the environment,
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff time has already been utilized in preparation of this plz It is anticipated that further staff time will be necessary to
monitor this and other zone plans on a yearly basis. The
implementation of this plan, however, should help future fiscal
planning for the City by listing future facilities and their
costs.

ZONE 5 LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT PLAN (LFMP-5)
The Planning Commission at their meeting of 3uly I, 1987, recommended approval of the Local Facilities Mangement Plan for Zone 5. A number of the facilities analyzed had certain issues
identified at the Commission meeting, and these issues are
discussed below.
Library
The City's existing, adopted performance standard for Library
does not apply in non-residential areas, however, the Planning
Commission did recommend that this Zone Plan be submitted to the Library Board to see if they have comments or suggestions on
this section. The Library Board reviewed the matter at their
last meeting and agreed that the performance standard should not
apply to Zone 5. However, they did wish to reserve the right in
the future to consider a fee for non-residential use if library
use by the non-residential zones increases.
Parks
Parks in Zone 5 would not be subject to an existing performance
standard because the existing standard is based on residential
development. However, the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that a local facility management fee for parks be
considered for Zone 5 based on the square foot of non-residential
building area. This fee would be specifically for the
acquisition and improvement of parklrecreational facilities
within Zone 5. Staff and Commission feel that this proposed fee
a policy statement in the Parks and Recreation Element (action
plan 1.1:5) which indicates that industrial developments could provide recreational facilities for their day use population. Other reasons identified for requiring this type of fee include a statewide survey which lists a number of cities that are already requiring park fees for industrial, office and commercial square
footage. Those fees range in value from $.02 to $3.00 per square
foot. This survey helps substantiate a current trend of providing recreational facilities within industrial areas. The trend is based on a number of positive factors involving the
kinds of uses in industrial-commercia1 type areas. These
include:
is justified for a number of reasons. The first is that there is

1) the fact that exercise tends to increase employee
2) recreational facilities can also act as a selling
productivity:
point for developers of large industrial
lots/buildings;
lighted ballfields as there are no homes which would
be impacted;
traffic trips at peak hours as many employees will
remain later to utilize the facilities;
5) they would provide greater recreational safety than
current activities, such as jogging or biking on
industrial streets.
3) industrial areas are usually a good location for
4) recreational facilities can reduce the number of
In addition, park and athletic facilities are permitted uses in
the City's PI General Plan designation and the P-M Zone which
makes up much of Zone 5.
Staff was recommending a fee of $.50 per square foot of building
space in Zone 5. The fee was derived based upon the idea of
developing a sports complex to serve the area.
Specifically, a multi-use sports complex was considered which
would meet the recreational needs of the industrial population. The following amenities and their estimated costs are listed
below:
Multi-Use Sports Complex Totals
1. Land - 15 ac at $350,00O/ac $5,225,000
2. Development - 15 ac at $115,00O/ac 1,725,000
3, Community Center - 15,000 sq ft at $IOO/S~ ft 1,500,000
4. Tennis/Racquetball Facility - 20 at $25,000 ea 500 000
5. Overhead Misc. other 5% 448 750
Rounded to $9,500,000
The proposed fee recommended in the Zone 5 Plan was based upon a projected development potential of approximately 19,000,000 square feet of industrial areas. Therefore, a fee of $.50 per square feet was proposed to cover the estimated $9,500,000
acquisition and development cost itemized above.
The Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 5 identified
several alternatives for addressing the need for recreational
facilities in this zone. In recommending the establishment of a
fee the Planning Commission felt the matter, if approved by the
Recreation Commission to review the proposed fee, Based upon a
Subtotal $8,975,ooo

more detailed analysis of facility needs, the exact amount of
the fee could then be established. The Zone 5 Plan would be
amended accordingly once a final decision is made.
Circulation
Currently all intersections and road segments within Zone 5 or
impacted by Zone 5 traffic meet the adopted performance
standard. With existing plus committed traffic, however, seven
intersections and two road segments are projected to fall below
the adopted performance standard. At buildout, nine
intersections are projected to fall below the standards unless
mitigation beyond that required under the current Circulation
Element is installed. The Planning Commission wants to make
sure circulation will be closely monitored by staff so if levels
of service fall below the standard in the future, the City can
act quickly to mitigate the problems or halt development.
Fire
Zone 5 does not impact the adopted performance standard because
Fire is based upon residential development. However, staff and
the Planning Commission are recommending that the City Council
approve a new non-residential performance standard for Fire
facilities based on three thresholds: 1) a daily work force
that exceeds 12,000 people in one area or zone; 2) an area that is beyond a five minute fire response time: and 3) that the
Fire Department is unable to provide one thousand gallons per
minute of fire flow in ten minutes or less. Zone 5 cannot currently comply with the second and third proposed thresholds. All three thresholds in this zone will be exceeded by early 1989. In accordance, the recommendation is that the schedule
for Fire Station No. 5 be accelerated, with the construction to
begin in early 1988, with an opening date of early 1989. If the
City Council concurs with the proposed new standard, the previously approved Council Resolution adopting the Growth Management Performance Standards will be amended to include the new fire standard.
Sewer Collection System
The Commission felt that the sewer facilities in Zone 5 meet the
required performance standard. In approving sewer, they also verified the staff recommendation that the performance standard should be based on the sewer sub-basin rather than the entire zone. In other words, the failure of one sub-basin would not affect an adequate sub-basin in the same zone. The sub-basin
meeting the performance standard could continue to develop.
Some of the new recommendations concerning parks and fire did
not surface earlier because Zone 5 is really the first non-

residential zone plan staff has looked at in detail. The need
for the new standards came about as a result of this close
analysis.
With the changes and Comments mentioned above, the Planning
Commission is recommending that the City Council approve the
Local Facilities Managment Plana for Zone 5.

Re: Zone 5 - Local Facilities Management Plan
Dear Commissioners:
I have been asked by several property owners in Zone 5
share with you comments, suggestions and concerns regarding Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 5 before you t evening. While the plan has been many, many months in preparation, it has only recently been available to the prope owners and their representatives for review and analysis. know the City has been working under a tight time schedule implement the Growth Management System and the local zone pl and do not wish to delay that process, but the property owners believe earlier private sector input and comment is desirak If the local plans are to work and construct the infrastruct of our City, the programs must function not only from regulatory perspective but be workable and financible in private sector.
as drafted include: The major areas of comment and concern as to the Local P
1. In Item No. 7 on page 7, it suggests that follow adoption of the Local Plan, the existing exemptions : previously approved commercial and industrial proj ec will terminate unless the performance standards i satisfied. This statement conflicts with 4 commercial/industrial exemption authorized by '
Growth Management Ordinance. Section 21.90.030 expressly states that the commercial/industr exemption @I. . . shall expire on July 20, 1988" i therefore, the Local Plan is inconsistent with I Growth Management Ordinance in that respect.
e e +I I ,
..
LUCE, FORWARD, HAMILTON & SCRIPPS
Members of the Planning Commission July 1, 1987 Page 2 -
2. A critical part of the Local Plan as it relates to
timing and demand for various levels of infrastruci relies heavily on the phasing assumptions and schec
appearing on Exhibit F at page 32. It is 1 projected phasing schedule (Absorption Rate) 1 drives the Local Plan's target construction dates
various levels of infrastructure, particularly
by 1991. That schedule, however, assumes an ani absorption rate well in excess of 900,000 square 1 each and every year beginning in 1987. That rate
far in excess of any annual absorption experience( date in this area. The Local Plan should incorpo.
language that if the scheduled absorption is achieved, the construction date would be extei accordingly.
The Local Plan proposes to establish new standards fees for the commercial/industrial area which are presently contained in the Citywide Facilities Plan are inconsistent with the policy statement by the ( Council in April, 1987. The Local Plan proposes to
a parks and fire standard, and further proposes impose through the Local Plan a park fee of $.50
building square foot.
Not only is imposition of new standards by the U Plans not authorized, but to do so, would expres violate provisions of the Growth Management Ordinar Section 21.90.110(b) and (d) both require that Local Plan be "consistent with and implement Citywide Plan." Since the Citywide Plan has no E
standards, to attempt to include them at this timr the Local Plan would make it inconsistent.
As to the proposed new park fee, nowhere is tl
authorization for the imposition of new impact feea part of the Local Plans. Additionally, the Local I and related materials are completely void of evidr
and support to establish any shortage of parks recreation opportunities in Zone 5, as well as facts
legally justify the amount and imposition of SUC
fee. In point of fact, existing and approved projt
provide significant park and recreational opportunit
already in the Zone and of course the commercj industrial sector contributes heavily to the pu3: facilities fees which in turn are used substantial11 provide parks and other recreational opportunit throughout the City.

4, The property owners have very substantial coria
regarding the infrastructure phasing and financ
alternatives suggested in the Local Plan, particuli
with respect to the Circulation Improvement CC illustrated on Exhibit 2, page 100. The projec improvement costs of $17,039,000 by 1991 rel, exclusively to Palomar Airport Road from the Inters'
5 interchange easterly to the City limits.
However, when we look at the llFinancing Priorit options, no reference is made to a wide range additional funding sources and mechanisms w: certainly ought to be considered for t improvements, especially because of the City benefit and regional impact on Palomar Airport R For example, the commercial/industrial property ow in Zone 5 have contributed heavily to traffic im
fees, public facilities fees, and yet neither sou
the Local Plan should include as possible alternat the use of gas tax or other transportation orie
funds and sources, including consideration of SANDAG sponsored one-half cent sales tax ballot mea funding.
The absence of these additional funding sources alternatives is all the more troublesome since the Council in September, 1986, as part of its ado 1986-91 Capital Improvement Program allocated Million of public facilities fees in year one Palomar Airport Road, College Boulevard west to P Del Norte and an additional $900,000 of pu facilities fees for Palomar Airport Road east ol Camino Real.
Given these concerns, we would specifically req
to include potential use of public facilities f traffic impact fees, Mello-Roos Districts, and o possible funds and sources such as gas tax allocat
the possible use of the SANDAG sponsored sales allocations to the extent such funds are useable capital infrastructure improvements.
5. Lastly, I want to emphasize that the property ow want this Growth Management System and the Local P to succeed as much as anybody. The owners have ' very, very substantial investments not only in t property, but in the desirability and liveabilit]
are identif ied as possible funding sources. Furt,

innovative and experimental. For it to be success for it to work, there must be an enlightened attit flexibility and willingness to embrace new conc
and, if necessary, create new financing mechanisms arrangements in providing appropriate develor assurances and commitments if the private sector d raise the multi millions of dollars targeted construct infrastructure.
These new concepts may include development agreeme density commitments and other arrangements that prc reasonable assurances that if one or more pro1 owners front end the enormous capital infrastruc costs, they will be able to pay back the borrowin5 obtain a reasonable return on their investments. the financial community does not see a reasonable 1 for a stream of income to pay back infrastructure 1 and advances, and if the investment community does see the opportunity for a reasonable return investment, then the necessary financing and invest will not be made in this community, and therefore community will not have the resources to construct maintain the desired infrastructure.
We would request the foregoing comments be incorporated your recommendations and forwarded on to the City Council their action. TZi;:z&?- Ronald W. Rouse

On Wednesday, June 24th, City staff presented the Zone 5 Plan
a number of property owners and developers within Zone 5 at t City Council Chambers. On Tuesday, June 30th, the proper
owners met again and discussed in more detail the proposed P1
as presented by staff. The group that met have some comments a
recommendations.

recommending that four require special emphasis. These fc
facilities include circulation, sewer collection, parks and fir

The report suggests that $17,000,000 in improvements be cc
structed by 1991. These would include improvements at 1-5 E
Palomar Airport Road, Palomar Airport Road between Paseo (
Norte and Camino Vida Roble, and Palomar Airport Road from
Camino Real to the easterly city limits. On page 81, t staff has suggested several alternatives that we feel mei more emphasis.
Several traffic studies show that the $50,000 widening of off ramp at Palomar Airport Road will provide a substant:
increase in the service level at this intersection. This wc
should be done immediately.

In addition, we think the alternative to build College sot
of Palomar Airport Road connecting to Poinsettia is one tk
has a lot of potential merit. We have asked the staff
request SANDAG to do a traffic study to show the actu
benefits if this connection is made. There may be a post
bility that more benefit from a traffic standpoint could
generated for the $10,000,000 for the improvement rather tl
spending $17,000,000 for the immediate improvements of Palon
Airport Road. The City may want to consider moving t Poinsettia/College connection higher on a priority list 2
still follow up with what appear to be longer term improl ments on Palomar Airport Road, especially the improvements 1-5.
In the financing section, reference needs to be added include public facility fees, traffic impact fees, futu
dollars possible from the half-cent sales tax if approve Mello Roos districts and other public funds. Also, t September 1986 CIP budget for 87-88 shows $2.1 million f
Palomar Airport Road west of College and another $900,000 ea
of El Camino Real. These funds need to be shown in t report.
The report should also point out that Palomar Airport Road a
El Camino Real provide for regional traffic needs and th other sources of funding (State) should be pursued. In add
tion, the County of San Diego is a landowner along Palom Airport Road, and their participation should be requested.
The Zone 5 Plan Circulation Section, on page 100, requir

3. Fire
We would agree with the staff recommendation that the constru
tion schedule for the proposed Safety Center Fire Station
accelerated and that the City Council include Fire Stati
Number Five in the 1987-1988 CIP budget. We understand th
this would enable construction of the station to begin
early 1988 with an opening date projected for January 1989.
We do not agree that the facility plan process 1s the prop
place to establish new policy or standards. The Counc
clearly stated in April of this year that the Fire Standa
does not apply to nonresidential uses. If the Standard nee
to be established or updated, it should be done separate
from the zone plan process.

4. Parks
Currently, there is no official Park Standard for the indu: trial or nonresidential areas and, in a strict interpretatic
of the Plan as written, the industrial areas do not have * meet any Park Standard. Also, the nonresidential users ai
not required to pay a park-in-lieu fee. This fact wi
reaffirmed by the Council in April of this year.
Staff is recommending that a park-in-lieu fee be charged fc
all nonresidential development. The fee in Alternative 1 i suggested to be 50C per square foot which would potential] generate close to $9,000,000 through the buildout of the indur
trial areas. The property owners would strongly urge tha this not be adopted at this time. We would also recommec
that the idea be pursued further but not in a manner whic
would hold up the adoption of the Zone 5 Facilities Plan.
Before any additional fees are put in place relating to park
for the industrial area, we think it would be appropriate t
do a number of things. These would include:
O Full research of what other communities and industrial area
are doing with a direct comparison as to what residentia
parks are in those communities and industrial areas and wha
fees they charged.
O Identification of maintenance costs and who is going to pay.
0 Studies for actual usage of parks by employees.

Will these public areas compete with potential privat

O Will the existing industrial and office users be asked t
pay some kind of a fee to use these common areas?

that 50e per foot not be a requirement at this time but thz further study be given and that the above questions ar
possibly many others be addressed. Fifty cents a square foc

available may shed a different light on the alternativ suggested by staff. In the past, the City did not see a nee for public parks in the Zone 5 area. Also, in April th
Council reaffirmed that the Park Standards only applied t residential. Again, we suggest that the Zone 5 Plan proces
