RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of SDP 98-11 and CDP 98-44, based on the findings a~
subject to the conditions contained therein.
11. INTRODUCTION
These applications propose developing Lot 15 of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan with a thre
story building containing 42,960 square feet of multi-tenant office space. Administrati7
Variance 98-06 has been approved which provides for a reduction in the 35 foot landscal
setback along the east property line shared with LEGOLAND. The Administrative Variance w
necessary because of the unusual configuration of the lot which is also subject to a greater th;
Specific Plan (SP 207(A)). The Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Pern
applications are required for the City to determine that the design of the project complies with i
city standards including the requirements of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan, and the LOC
Coastal Program. The project is in compliance with all city requirements based on the granti1
of the Administrative Variance. The building is proposed at a height of 44 feet and 6 inch1
which requires approval by the City Council. The project was analyzed in the Carlsbad Ran(
Specific Plan Amendment Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 94-01) and no ne
environmental impacts or changed circumstances have been identified.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a si
development plan and coastal development permit for the Carlsbad Ranch Corporate Cent
project proposed for Lot 15. The project site is a 3.45 acre lot located on the northeast corner

Armada Drive and Fleet Street within Planning Area 2 of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Pla
Planning Area 2 is located in the central portion of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. TI
project consists of a total of 42,960 square feet of multi-tenant office space to be contained in
Perimeter landscaping is proposed to screen the parking areas. Two outdoor eating areas a
proposed. The first is located near the north end of the site and the second is in the souther
portion of the lot. Each outdoor eating area will have two precast concrete tables with benchc
and two precast concrete trash containers. The tables will be set on patio areas containing trc
planter areas which will provide shade. A single cooling tower enclosure reaching a height of 1
feet will be constructed of concrete block and finished with cement plaster to match the buildir
material. Use of this type of cooling system greatly reduces the need to put equipment on tl
roof of the building.
The proposed building is set outside the required street setbacks at the corner of Armada DriT
and Fleet Street. The building footprint is generally rectangular in shape with the shortest leng
parallel to Armada Drive and the longest length parallel to Fleet Street. Rounded elements a
incorporated into the south and west elevations. The main building entrance is oriented to th
southeast. As previously described, the building is proposed at a height of 44 feet and 6 inche:
Section 111. C. 1. c. of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan contains a provision that due to th
unusual shape of Lot 15, setbacks will not have to be increased for buildings over 35 feet i
height. The Planning Director has approved an administrative variance to reduce the rei
landscape setback adjacent to LEGOLAND as shown on the proposed plan. The findings we1
able to be made due to the unusual configuration of the lot which is also subject to a 35 foot wid
building and landscape setback along the easterly property line. The greater than usual setbac
was established in the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan to provide screening for LEG0 Drive an
LEGOLAND from the adjacent business park. The two affected property owners have worke
cooperatively to reconfigure the corresponding landscape easement to provide a configuratia
that provides the intended screening and improves the layout potential for Lot 15.
Several types of materials are proposed to be used on the exterior of the building. Polished an
sandblasted granite tile will be used along with limestone tile. All tiles are earthtone colors i
keeping with the applicable design guidelines. Dryvit will be used on the cornice detail of th
building. Dryvit is a textured material that appears more like a natural stone product than stuccc
in part because of the different flecks of color it contains. Angled window heads are propose
around windows and a cornice is proposed along the top of the building. Building height i
varied as required by the applicable design guidelines of the specific plan. A green glass will b
used for the window areas and will be separated by metal mullions. The building will have
balcony with a metal pipe rail on the section closest to the corner of Armada Drive and Flec
Street. These metal surfaces will be painted a dark green metallic color.
The project site was rough graded pursuant to the Carlsbad Ranch Master Tentative Tract Mal
(CT 94-09). The site will be finish graded to maintain the gentle north to south slope tha
presently exists. The proposed grading operation will balance onsite. A direct sidewall
connection is proposed from the building to the sidewalk on Fleet Street.

STATE CEQA GUIDELINES. Chapter 3. Article 5. Section 15063 requires that the CI
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a signific;
effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the followi
pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical. biological and hum
factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information
use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Negati
Declaration. or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact“ answers that a
adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following ea1
question. A “No Impact’. answer is adequately supported if the referenced informatic
sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved.
“No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to.
it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
0 “Less Than Significant Impact’‘ applies where there is supporting evidence that t
potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopt
general standards and policies.
“Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporatic
of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to
“Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and tl
City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce tl
effect to a less than significant level.
“Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that :
effect is significant.
Based on an “EIA-Part 11”. if a proposed project could have a potentially significai
effect on the environment, but &l potentially significant effects (a) have been analyze
adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicab
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigate
Negative Declaration. including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upc
the proposed prqject. and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to t
supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the pric
environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no addition

to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier E1
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement (
Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.

the pro-ject or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.

e If there are one or more potentially significant effects. the City may avoid preparing ;
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant. a~
those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public revien. In tl-
case. the appropriate ‘‘Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation incorporate1
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
e An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked. and includir
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect hi
not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards. ar
the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less thi
significant; (2) a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant impact h.
not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not redu
the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part IT analysis it is na
possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect. <
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significai
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the elid of tl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Carlsbad Ranch Corporate Center Project is proposed for lot 15 a 3.45 acre property locatr
on the northeast comer of Armada Drive and Fleet Street north of Palomar Airport Road with
Planning Area 2 of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. The project consists of a three-story mu1
tenant office building containing 42.960 square feet of building area. All parking for the proje
will be constructed at grade. Planning Area 2 is located in the central portion of the Carlsb;
Ranch Specific Plan. The project site fronts on Armada Drive and Fleet Street and is adjacent 1
the LEGOLAND site on the east. The proposed administrative variance is to reduce the re(
yard landscape setback along the border with the LEGOLAND project from the required 35 fe
for a portion of the area due to the irregular lot configuration of the project site. The setback art
is also subject to a private landscape easement. The length of the rear property line is 938 fec
With the project as proposed 366 feet (39%) of the rear property line has a setback of less than 1
feet, while 572 feet (61%) has a setback of greater than 35 feet. The minimum landscape setbac
provided is 12 feet and the maximum width is 80 feet.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project was evaluated in the “Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment Fin,
Program Environmental Impact Report, dated November 1995 (EIR 94-01).” EIR 944
evaluates the environmental effects of the development and operation of The Carlsbad Ranc
Specific Plan; improvements to the I-YCannon Road Interchange; and the development of a 24
acre parcel immediately adjacent to the northern boundary of the specific plan site. The Carlsbz
Ranch Specific Plan is a planning document which will guide the development of a 447.40 aci
area through the provision of a comprehensive set of guidelines. regulations, and implementatic
programs. The proposed land uses for the Specific Plan include office. research ar
development, related light manufacturing. commercial, hotel, destination resort. golf cours
agriculture, a vocational school campus, and LEGOLAND Carlsbad. The 24.2 acre parc
adjacent to the northem boundary is proposed as a continuation of the Specific Plan golf course.
EIR 94-0 1 analyzed the following environmental issue areas: Agricultural Resources, A
Quality. Archaeological and Paleontological Resources, Biological Resource,
Traffic/Circulation. Hazardous Waste/Pesticide Residue, Land Use Compatibility; Noise. Publi
Services and Utilities, Solid Waste. Visual AestheticsjGrading. and Water Quality. The Initi;
Study prepared for the Specific Plan Amendment is contained in Appendix A of EIR 94-01 an
analyzed additional issues which were determined not to have a significant environment;
impact. EIR 94-01 was certified by the Carlsbad City Council on January 9, 1996. At that tin:
Candidate Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation an
Monitoring Program were approved. All mitigation measures applicable to the Carlsbad Ranc
Corporate Center - Lots 15 pro-ject proposed for an existing graded lot in Planning Area 2 of th
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan have been incorporated into the pro-ject design or are required a

and LEGOLAND.

impact to the 1-5 freeway and SR-78. A statement of overriding considerations w
adopted for this cumulative impact.
XI. PUBLIC SERVICES
b) Police protection
The EIR analysis concluded that the conversion of an agricultural area to an urban an
which will attract visitors will require additional law enforcement and crime preventic
services. The potential increase in demand on police services is a significant impac
This demand for police protection will be reduced through implementation of
mitigation measure requiring security measures to be incorporated into the propost

5. SDP 98-11ICDP 98-44 - CARLSBAD RANCH CORPORATE CENTER - Request for recommendation of approval for a Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit fo
three-story, multi-tenant, office building containing 42,960 square feet of building area with
grade parking on a 3.45 acre lot located on the northeast comer of Armada Drive and Fleet Strt
within Planning Area 2 of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan in the Coastal Zone and Loc
Facilities Management Zone 13.
Senior Planner, Don Neu, presented the staff report and described the project, with the use of sor slides, as follows: This is a request for an approval for a Site Development Plan and a Coasl Development Permit. The site is located in Planning Area 2 of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan, which
the research and development, and office planning area. The site is located north of Armada Driv
immediately east of Fleet Street. The proposed project is a three-story multi-tenant office building of jL
under 43,000 square feet in area, is 44'6' in height, and the overall project site is 3.45 acres. TI
proposed parking is one over the required 1:250 which totals 173 parking spaces. This is a pregradE
development lot with frontage on two streets. The Planning Commission PreViOUSlY reviewed ar recommended appraval of the Specific Pian and the Master Tentative Map, in 1995-96. Other prior actic related to this project was the approval of an administrative variance for the rear landscape setback are' reducing the rear landscape setback in a portion of the site to allow for circulation and parking. This wi done because of the unusual shape and configuration of this lot, as well as the larger than usu: landscape setback that was put into the Specific Plan to create a buffer between the site and the LEG(
project to the east. This project requires the approval of the Site Development Plan and a Coast:
Development Permit and is in compliance with all of the standards and design guidelines of the Specifi
Plan. City Council does need to act on this project, since the proposed height is above 35 feet. One of th
unique features of the Specific Plan, in regard to the building height, is the requirement to not have ti increase the building setbacks for every one foot over the 35 feet in height. Ordinarily, the increasec setback area would be a required landscape setback area. Findings can be made in a number of areas. The project exceeds the minimum standards, such as in the landscaped parking area, as the projec proposes 11% as opposed to the 3% minimum. The project also exceeds all the requirements in thi areas of architectural design and materiais. The overall building coverage is low (9%%) because it is a 3.
story building where the Specific Plan would allow 50% coverage. The circulation system has beer
reviewed for truck turning movements and found to meet those standards as well. The project is in the Palomar Airport influence area and in the 60 CNEL noise contour. The site is approximately 7,000 feet tc
the west of the airport and is considered a compatible use. Regarding the Coastal Program, the proposer project is in the Mello I] Segment. Many of the issues have been previously dealt with in the Specific Plan,
such as the agricultural conversion mitigation fee that has already been paid for this property, master
drainage facilities have already been constructed, resulting in no Coastal issues at this time. The project is in the Zone 13 Facilities Plan and will be required.to pay a non-residential park fee. With regard to the
EIR, the overall EIR for the Carlsbad Ranch did include the future development and staff has prepared an
initial study and found that the scope of this project is within that Certified EIR, resulting in the application
of all of the applicable mitigation measures from the EIR to this development. Staff therefore recommends
that the Planning Commission recommend approval of both of these actions to the City Council.
John Ohlson, 5355 Mira Sorrento, San Diego, the project architect with Smith Consulting Architects, stated that this project, because of its unique shape, was very challenging when it came to parking. They
had to plan the parking and then design the building in the space that was left over. This is a Class A office building, the architectural design is timeless in nature, and will be built with stone, granite, and

limestone. Mr. Ohlson stated that they feel that this design lends itself very well to the site in some I.
unique ways.
Commissioner Cornpas asked how visible this building will be from Interstate Highway 5.
In response to Commissioner Compas, the project developer, David Meyer, 5600 Avenida Encir
Carlsbad, replied that until the hotel and another building are completed, this project will be reasofli
visible. khW?Ver, after the aforementioned projects are complete, this project will have relatively I
visibility from 1-5.
Chairperson Noble, asked what the height of this project is in comparison with the building immediat
north.
Mr. Meyer replied that the two buildings are very close in height; 44 to 45 feet as opposed to 44'6" for t
project.
Commissioner Compas asked Mr. Meyer to explain a little about the multi-tenant plan.
Mr. Meyer stated that because of the design of the building, they will have very small floor plates a
therefore they will be much more of a multi-tenant type building as opposed to the neighboring buildin!
which have a much larger footprint and are designed for bigger users.
Chairperson Noble opened Public Testimony. Seeing no one wishing to testify, Chairperson Noble clost
Public Testimony.
ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Savary, and duly seconded, to adopt Plannin
Commission Resolutions No. 4398, and 4399, recommending approval of SD
98-11 and CDP 98-44, based upon the findings and subject to the conditior contained therein.
