RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council INTRODUCE Ordinances No. I\ss -5 70 N s -571 AK-s 7&
and F3.5,573 APPROVING SP 180(E), Carlsbad Resea;ch Center; SP 181 (C), Carlsbad
Airport Centre; SP 199(A), Park; and SP 200(A), Carlsbad Airport Business
Center and ADOPT APPROVING a Negative Declaration, and Local
Coastal Program Amendment LCPA 00-l 1 based upon the findings contained therein.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
This action is to amend the specific plan documents within the C-M, M, and P-M zones to be
consistent with the new sign ordinance and the City’s previously amended parking ordinance
(Chapter 21.44). The City is processing a zone code amendment (ZCA 99-09) that will change the
sign standards within the city’s office/industrial zones. The new standards will conflict with the
existing development standards contained within the above-mentioned specific plans. Since state
law precludes the adoption of a zoning ordinance that would be in conflict with an existing specific
plan, the specific plans must be amended. The amendment will delete the sign and graphic
standards contained within the specific plans and will insert a reference to Chapter 21.41 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code for the applicable signage development standards. This will allow the
zoning ordinance to be amended and be in compliance with the specific plans. The amendments to
the specific plans will also adopt the City’s parking ordinance (Chapter 21.44) as the parking
standards for these specific plans.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The Planning Director has determined that these specific plan amendments, (SP 180(E), SP 181(C),
SP 199(A), and SP 200(A)) and Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA 00-l 1) will not have a
significant impact on the environment and therefore issued a Negative Declaration on November 8,
2000.

It is the intent of this section to ensure that all signs fronting Palomar Airport Road are

appearance of the potential Palomar Airport Road Scenic Corridor. The signs subject to
these standards are all signs fronting Palomar Airport Road within Lots 1, 10, 11, 12, 13,
21, 22, 28 and 29. For purposes of this section, fronting Palomar Airport Road means
“visible from the portion of Palomar Airport Road directly adjacent to the lot in which
the sign is located.
a. Special care shall be taken in the design of all signs fronting Palomar Airport
Road. All wall and monument signs shall be subdued in tone and integrated into

prohibit recognizable logos.
b. All signs fronting Palomar Airport Road shall be subject to the review and
approval of the Planning Director.

all new signs fronting Palomar Airport Road shall comply with the requirements

to remain for the time limits specified (Chapter 2 1.41) unless they are modified or
changed in any way except for routine maintenance and/or repair.
d. Wall signs fronting Palomar Airport Road shall not exceed a combined total area
of one hundred (100) square feet per building (excluding monument signs). An
additional 40 square feet of signage may be allowed under unusual circumstances,
such as an unusually long name and/or a sign which would not normally be
visible unless extra square footage were available. A maximum of 4 signs per
building fronting Palomar Airport Road shall be allowed. Of these 4, a maximum
of 2 signs per elevation shall be allowed. A curvilinear elevation with distinctly
separated sections of substantial length may be counted as more than one
elevation. Signs permitted in Section F2b and F2c are exempt from these
regulations. The overall area of each wall sign fronting Palomar Airport Road
should be in tasteful proportion to the overall area of the elevation on which it is
located and to the elements of the elevation, and the letters or symbols employed
should ordinarily be no larger than reasonably necessary to enable them to be read
or recognized quickly and easily by vehicular passers-by. As a guideline the total
area of such sign(s) on each elevation should not exceed a ratio of % sq. ft. sign
area per 1 linear foot of building elevation fronting Palomar Airport Road (and in

SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:

I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but at
least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An Negative
declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Master Environmental
Impact Review (MEIR 93-01) pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been voided
or mitigated pursuant to that earlier Master Environmental Review (MEIR 93-01)
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.
Therefore, a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared.
//J-m

Planning Direct2s Si& ure Date

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant
effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following
pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human
factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to
use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative
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 are
adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each
question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information
sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A
“No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or
it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
“Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that the
potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted
general standards and policies.
“Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation
of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a
“Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the
City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the
effect to a less than significant level.
“Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an
effect is significant.
Based on an “EIA-Part II”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significant
effect on the environment, but &I potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated
Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon
the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or
supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prior
environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional
environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily required
to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement of
Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that
the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
3 Rev. 03/28/96 34
a If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, and
those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this
case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated”
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
l An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and including
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has
not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and
the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than
significant; (2) a.“Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant impact has
not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce
the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II analysis it is not
possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the
form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention
should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined
significant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The proposed project consists of revising four different specific plans within the City of
Carlsbad’s industrial area. The plans contain parking and sign standards that are no longer
current. The Carlsbad municipal code has been revised and new standards established since the
approval of the specific plans. The specific plans will be revised to specify that the parking and
sign and graphic requirements be superseded by the Carlsbad municipal code.
11 Rev. 03128196
II. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project falls within the scope of the City’s MEIR for the City of Carlsbad General Plan
update (EIR 93-01) certified in September, 1994, in which a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was adopted for cumulative impacts to air quality and traffic. An MEIR may not
be used to review projects if it was certified more than five years prior to the filing of an
application for a later project except under certain circumstances. The City is currently
reviewing the 1994 MEIR to determine whether it is still adequate to review subsequent projects.
Although the MEIR was certified more than five years ago, the City’s preliminary review of its
adequacy finds that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under
which the MEIR was certified. The only potential changed circumstance, the intersection failure
at Palomar Airport Rd. and El Camino Real, is in the process of being mitigated to below a level
of significance. Additionally, there is no new available information, which was not known and
could not have been known at the time the MEIR was certified. Therefore, the MEIR remains
adequate to review later projects. All feasible mitigation measures identified by the MEIR which
are appropriate to this project have been incorporated into the project.
B. Environmental Impact Discussion
Air Quality
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updated
1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle miles
traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactive
organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are the
major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since the
San Diego Air Basin is a “non-attainment basin”, any additional air emissions are considered
cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to buildout as proposed in the
updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air quality of the region.
To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan buildout, a variety
of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisions
for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measures
to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demand
Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mass
transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5)
participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The applicable and
appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the
design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is
located within a “non-attainment basin”, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked
“Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the
preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City
Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for air
quality impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent
projects covered by the General Plan’s Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no
further environmental review of air quality impacts is required. This document is available at the
Planning Department.
12 Rev. 03128196 43
Transportation/Circulation
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updated
1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate
to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely
impacted by regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These
generally include all freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad
Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections
are projected to fail the City’s adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout.
To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan buildout, numerous
mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include measures
to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to develop
alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks, pedestrian
linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation strategies when
adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or State Highway
onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to control. The
applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have either been
incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the
failure of intersections at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefore,
the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is
consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the
recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included
a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for circulation impacts. This “Statement Of
Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan’s
Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of circulation
impacts is required.

I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4884
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director
and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4885, 4886, 4887, 4888 and 4889
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of SP 180(E), SP 18 1 (C), SP 199(A), LCPA 00-l 1, and SP
200(A) based on the findings contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
In July, 1999, the Carlsbad City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention directing staff to
initiate a zone code amendment to amend the City’s Sign Ordinance (Chapter 21.41 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code) to incorporate clear and comprehensive sign standards for the City’s
office/industrial zones (i.e., C-M, M and P-M zones). Planning and zoning law states that no
zoning ordinance may be adopted or amended in an area covered by a specific plan unless it is
consistent with the adopted specific plan. This action is to amend the specific plan documents
within the C-M, M, and P-M zones to be consistent with the new sign ordinance and to the City’s
previously amended parking ordinance (Chapter 2 1.44).
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
This project consists of amending the Carlsbad Research Center, Carlsbad Airport Business
Center, College Business Park, and Carlsbad Airport Centre specific plans to specify that the
sign and graphic and parking requirements for development within these plans is subject to the
signage standards (Chapters 21.41) and parking standards (Chapter 21.44) of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
The City is processing a zone code amendment (ZCA 99-09) that will change the sign standards
within the city’s office/industrial zones. The new standards will conflict with the existing
development standards contained within the above-mentioned specific plans. Since State law
SP 180(E), SP 181(C), SP 199(A), SP 200(A)
January 3,200l
Pane 2
precludes the adoption of a zoning ordinance that would be in conflict with an existing specific
plan, the specific plans must be amended. The amendment will delete the sign and graphic
standards contained within the specific plans and will insert a reference to Chapter 2 1.4 1 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code for the applicable signage development standards. This will allow the
zoning ordinance to be amended and be in compliance with the specific plans.
The amendments to the specific plans will also adopt the City’s parking ordinance (Chapter
21.44) as the parking standards for these specific plans. The City’s parking ordinance has been
previously amended to revise the parking standard for the manufacturing, office, and warehouse
uses. The revised parking standards are equal to or more restrictive than the specific plan
parking standard. Specific Plan 199 and 200 already reference Chapter 21.41 of the Municipal
Code, but have some additional text that is redundant to the zoning ordinance, which is proposed
to be removed for clarity. Specific Plan 181 makes reference to conformance to Chapter 21.44
of the zoning ordinance. Staff recommends referencing the Carlsbad Municipal Code rather than
the zoning ordinance, which is correct and consistent with the other specific plans. Specific Plan
180 will have the entire parking standards deleted and will reference the Parking Ordinance.
Carlsbad Research Center (SP 180) is located north of Palomar Airport and west of El Camino
Real. It is bisected by Faraday Avenue and College Boulevard.
Carlsbad Airport Centre (SP 181) is located north of Palomar Airport Road and south and west
of Palomar Airport.
The College Business Park (SP 199), the undeveloped industrial park north of Palomar Airport
Road and west of College Blvd., is located within the coastal zone and requires a Local Coastal
Program amendment.
Carlsbad Airport Business Center (SP 200) is located north of Palomar Airport Road, east of El
Camino Real, and on the east and west side of El Fuerte Street.
IV. ANALYSIS
The recommendations for approval of these specific plan amendments and Local Coastal
Program Amendment was developed by analyzing their compliance/consistency with the
Carlsbad General Plan and applicable Local Coastal Program policies.
General Plan
The proposed specific plan amendments are consistent with the General Plan in that the specific
plans implement the General Plan by regulating the intensity of land uses by establishing
development parameters such as sign and parking regulations.
Zoning
The amendments to the various specific plans will eliminate the discrepancies between the
zoning ordinance and the specific plans. As mentioned above, the zoning ordinance cannot
amend the various affected specific plans without processing a specific plan amendment. These
SP 180(E), SP 18 1 (C), SP 199(A), SP 200(A) January 3,200l
Pane 3
amendments will supersede the sign and parking requirements of the specific plans with the sign
and parking ordinances.
Local Coastal Program
Specific Plan 199, College Business Park, is located within the Coastal Zone. Currently, the
City’s Sign Ordinance and Parking Ordinance constitutes the implementing signage and parking
regulations for the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program (LCP). Specifically, Subsection
21.41.070(11) of the existing Sign Ordinance includes specific sign restrictions for properties
within the coastal zone. By referencing the sign ordinance and parking ordinance within the
specific plans, the documents will be consistent with the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that these specific plan amendments and Local Coastal
Program Amendment (SP 180(E)/ SP 18 l(C)/ SP 199(A)/ LCPA 00-l 1 /SP 200(A)) will not have a
significant impact on the environment and therefore issued a Negative Declaration on November
8,200O.
