ITEM EXPLANATION:
At its meeting of March 1, 2005, the City Council directed the City Attorney to return with
appropriate documents for the approval of the appeal and approval of a mitigated negative
declaration and mitigation monitoring and reporting program, a tentative tract map (CT 02-
12), coastal development permit (CDP 02-31), non-residential planned unit development
(PUD 02-05) and planned industrial permit (PIP 02-04) for the Carlsbad Office Campus.
Resolution No. 2005-064 accomplishes those things.
At that meeting, the Council conducted an appeal hearing on the appeal of Carltas
Development Company from a decision of the Planning Commission denying development
permits for its proposed Carlsbad Office Campus. The appeal was timely filed and the
grounds for the appeal set forth in appellant’s letter of January 26, 2005. The appellant
supplemented its appeal by letter of February 24, 2005. The Council carefully considered
the staff report, the presentation of appellant, the public testimony and having heard
arguments both pro and con determined to grant the appeal. Resolution No.
grants the appeal. The Council should satisfy itself that the resolution
represents its true intent in this matter.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will replace the existing Floral Trade Center with the proposed office complex
that will generate new jobs and increase the City’s tax base. An economic forecast has not
been prepared and the exact amount has not been determined at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Environmental
Protection Ordinance (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, staff has conducted an
environmental impact assessment to determine if the project could have any potentially
significant impact on the environment. The environmental impact assessment identified
potentially significant impacts to hazards/hazardous material, noise and hydrology/water
quality and mitigation measures have been incorporated into the design of the project or
have been placed as conditions of approval for the project such that all potentially significant
impacts have now been mitigated to below a level of significance. Consequently, a Notice of
