I. INTRODUCTION
A. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this Fenton Carlsbad Center Specific Plan (FCCSP) is to address the
need for a full mix of office and medical facilities within Carlsbad, to serve both residents
and the daily workforce. In doing so, the plan aims to achieve an objective of the City of
Carlsbad's General Plan by reflecting the cultural values of the community. Some
important values are maintaining a jobs-housing balance, providing for a healthy
lifestyle, including the provision of services for adequate health care needs, and
providing those who live and work in the City of Carlsbad, the right to convenient and
readily accessible health care.
FCCSP only seeks to define the allowable type of land uses and does not provide
development standards or design standards above and beyond those of the Office
Zone; the plan does include several implementation measures that future projects will
need to comply with in addition to those of the base zone. The FCCSP is adopted
pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Sections 65450 et. seq. and the Land
Use Element of the City of Carlsbad General Plan.
B. LOCATION AND PLANNING AREA INFORMATION
The Fenton Carlsbad Center Specific Plan area is located on Salk Avenue, between El
Camino Real and College Boulevard. Direct access to the properties will be from Salk
Avenue. The 48.54 acre area is located entirely within the boundary of Local Facilities
Management Zone 5. The plan area is described as Lots 1 through 5 of Carlsbad Tract
00-20, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to
map thereof No. 15253, filed in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County,
January 30, 2006. The size of the lots and the three land use areas of the FCCSP are
listed below:
• Area 1 (13.26 acres)
o Lot 1 is 3.47 acres.
o Lot 4 is 9.79 acres.
• Area 2 (14.69 acres)
o Lot 2 is 9.78 acres.
o Lot 3 is 4.91 acres.
• Area 3 (20.59 acres)
o Lot 5 is 20.59 acres.
The plan area (shown in Exhibits 1, 2 and 3) is centrally located to Carlsbad's
employment center, yet it is situated on the periphery of the industrial zone in proximity
to residential areas to the east and to the north. Additionally, the plan area is
approximately 4,000 feet north of McClellan-Palomar Airport within the Airport Influence
Area and Flight Activity Zone, but outside the 60 dBA CNEL noise contour, as shown in
the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport, amended
July 2008
October 4, 2004. A regional map depicting the location of the property within the
County and a city context map presenting the location of the property within the City of
Carlsbad are provided in Exhibits 1 and 2 on pages 5 and 6 respectively. The
boundaries of the FCCSP, and each land use area within the plan, are shown in Exhibit
3 on page 7.
C. HISTORY
The Fenton Carlsbad Medical Center, formerly the Fox Miller Property, was subdivided
and graded into five lots under CT 00-20 in 2002. Lots 1 through 4 were zoned PM for
industrial use and Lot 5 was zoned as open space (OS). In 2006, Lot 1 of the FCMC
was rezoned from Planned Industrial (PM) to Office (O) under GPA 06-01/ZC 06-017
SDP 06-03. SDP 06-03 allowed for the construction of a two-story 40,655 square foot
Medical Office building on Lot 1.
This specific plan is being prepared in conjunction with a General Plan Amendment and
Zone Change that will change uses in the FCCSP area from Planned Industrial to
Office. The FCCSP limits medical uses to lots 1 and 4 of the FCCSP.
The following are past approvals related to the FCCSP area:
• GPA 00-05/ZC 00-07/CT 00-20/PIP 00-02/HDP 00-11/SUP 00-10
• GPA 06-01/ZC 06-017 SDP 06-03
• PIP 04-03/SUP 04-11
• PIP 06-06
D. REGULATORY SPECIFIC PLAN
The FCCSP is a regulatory document that only manages land uses. It is not a policy
document, and does not introduce any new policy objectives. The plan provides for a
mix of office uses and proportional amount of medical office uses within the city's
central employment area and also within close proximity to residentially zoned areas.

E. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN AND PLANS OF OTHER
JURISDICTIONS
Lots 1-4 of the plan area are designated in the City of Carlsbad's General Plan as Office
and Related Commercial (O) and Lot 5 is designated Open Space (OS). The Fenton
Carlsbad Center Specific Plan is consistent with the eight elements of the Carlsbad
General Plan. The plan allows a full mix of office uses and limited area for medical
offices (Lots 1 and 4) in an area that is zoned and planned for similar planned industrial
uses, and provides for the continued use and protection of open space on Lot 5. The
following highlights some of the major General Plan goals applicable to the Fenton
Carlsbad Center Specific Plan.
1. Land Use Element
a. Commercial development to serve the employment and
service needs of Carlsbad residents.
The specific plan will meet this requirement by allowing development
of medical/professional office services to serve as an employment
base for both the community and the region in close proximity to
housing, and to provide residents and persons employed locally with
conveniently located services.
2. Circulation Element
a. Adequate circulation infrastructure to serve the projected
population.
The existing Salk Avenue, College Boulevard and El Camino Real
roadways and intersections are adequate in capacity to handle the
traffic generated by Office use, and specifically medical office use
within Area 1 (Lots 1 and 4 in Figure 3), with the implementation of
traffic mitigation improvements detailed in the implementation section
of this plan.
3. Noise Element
a. Comply with the City policy that 55 Leq (h) dBA is the
maximum interior noise level for general office uses.
The uses within the plan area will comply with interior noise
standards, through the requirement to submit a letter from an
acoustician detailing how specific construction measures attenuate
the interior noise environment to 55 Leq (h) dBA or lower.
July 2008
This plan implements the General Plan in conjunction with the Office and Open Space
Zoning classifications of the area. The permitted uses are primarily those specifically
referenced in Section II of this document. The provisions of the Office Zone (e.g.
development standards, development permit requirements, etc.) and any amendments
to it apply to the topics that are not covered in this plan. Approval of this plan does not
vest any rights for future approvals of any licenses, discretionary acts or other
entitlements necessary for future development in the plan area. Subsequent public
works projects, tentative or parcel maps, discretionary acts, and zoning ordinances that
affect the plan area must be consistent with the FCCSP. Pre-existing tentative or parcel
maps, discretionary acts (e.g., Site Development Plans, Planned Industrial Permits,
grading permit, etc.), ministerial acts (e.g., building permits, etc.) are deemed consistent
with the FCCSP.
The FCCSP area is located within the Airport Influence Area and Flight Activity Zone of
the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport (ALCUP). A
mix of office and medical office uses allowed under the FCCSP is consistent with
compatibility requirements of the existing Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport, as amended October 4, 2004, because of the area's
location well outside the 60 CNEL dB noise contour. This airport plan is in the process
of being revised and modified, and the FCCSP contains a requirement that all future
development permits be consistent with the airport plan in effect at the time of the
application for development permit. FCCSP was considered at the May 1, 2008 San
Diego Airport Authority hearing and found to be conditionally consistent with the
ALCUP. The Airport Authority conditioned the plan not to allow intensive development
nor uses which involve the assembly of large groups of people (more than one hundred
(100) persons per assembly area (as defined by the California Building Code Group A
Occupancy).
II. LAND USES
The Fenton Carlsbad Center Specific Plan does not seek to introduce new uses,
however it will not provide for medical uses in Area 2 (Lots 2 and 3) of the plan.
A. PERMITTED USES
This section outlines the allowed office uses in Areas 1 through 3 of the plan area, no
development or design standards are proposed. All development in the O Zone, except
child day care centers, shall require approval of a site development plan processed
according to the provisions of Chapter 21.06 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
1. AREA 1 (LOTS 1 & 4)
All uses allowed in the underlying Office zone, which includes medical offices, are
permitted in Area 1 (Lots 1 and 4). Additionally permitted appurtenant uses such as
a cafeteria, flower or gift shop, and any other accessory uses determined by the
Planning Director as relating to a primary use of medical offices, medical clinic
July 2008
15
and/or medical complex. Up to 150,000 square feet of medical offices/complex
/clinic are permitted on Lot 4 and up to 47,000 square feet on Lot 1, provided that
parking is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code. The maximum size of any future development of Lots 1 and 4 with
offices allowed in the O Zone, other than medical offices, would be subject to the
development standards of the O Zone.
2. AREA 2 (LOTS 2 & 3)
Area 2 (Lots 2 and 3) uses consist of P-M Zone listed office uses that are not
directly listed in the O Zone and all uses allowed in the underlying Office zone,
excluding dentists, doctors, chiropractors and incidental related uses such as
pharmacies (prescription only), biochemical, X-ray laboratories, medical offices,
clinics and hospitals. The underlying Office zone "administrative and executive

3. AREA 3 (LOT 5)
This 20.59 acre area was previously established as an open space preserve for
the preservation of natural habitat, particularly the Brodiaea Filifolia (Threaded
Leaved Brodiaea), consistent with the City of Carlsbad's Habitat Management
Plan. Use of Area 3 remains restricted to existing open space / habitat, and
there are no development rights in this area of the plan.
B. LAND USE STANDARDS AND DESIGN REGULATIONS
No land use regulations or design standards beyond those of the underlying office zone
and other associated, applicable local regulations (e.g., subdivision, etc.) are imposed
by this plan. However, site and architectural design concepts for both areas 1 and 2 are
described below.
1. The siting of buildings within the Fenton Carlsbad Medical Center should
capture the available views from the property. Changes in massing and
articulation of each building should highlight its public entry.
All sides of the building facade should receive equal design attention. A
building's exterior finish materials should include a generous amount of
glass; smooth texture finishes such as plaster, pre-finished metal or
concrete, and stone or masonry. Masonry may be utilized as a contrasting
or complementary material to other hard surface materials such as glass
or metal panels that may be used on the building. Masonry materials may
include brick, stone, tile, or architectural concrete block (such as
burnished, split face or ribbed block). The materials selected should be
consistent with the character of a corporate office building and consistent
with the existing buildings in the Carlsbad Research Center.
3. As the buildings may be viewed from above, a neat and clean roof
appearance is important. Any roof mounted equipment should be
screened and architecturally integrated with the building elements.
13
July 2008
4. Development of each lot should offer pedestrian-oriented site amenities.
Pedestrian walkways, plazas and outdoor seating/eating areas, with
shade structures, are encouraged throughout the site. Pedestrian and
vehicular access to the lots, once off Salk Avenue, should afford a variety
of, and continuously changing, view corridors to the new buildings. Trees
and other shading elements should provide cover for the parking area as
well as the pedestrian access to the building.
5. On-site enclosures such as for trash/recycling, mechanical equipment, or
above-grade parking structures should blend into the site environment and
be designed in a manner that is architecturally compatible with the primary
building in exterior finishes. Shading of the top level of a parking structure
should be considered through the use of tree planters or trellis structures.
6. Design and development of Lot 2 is regulated by PIP 04-03 and SUP 04-
11. To the extent that the language, above, conflicts with the provisions of
these earlier approvals, the PIP and SUP shall prevail.
III. INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES
The infrastructure improvements planned for and approved as part of Local Facilities
Management Zone 5 and the City of Carlsbad Capital Improvement Plan, remain
applicable and satisfactory for the FCCSP for all categories except for traffic circulation.
FCCSP allows for and encourages the development of medical offices in Area 1 (lots 1
and 4) of the plan area. If medical offices, which have higher traffic generation rates
than other types of offices, develop in this plan area, traffic circulation improvements will
be necessary, as detailed below.
Implementation of the specific plan shall occur through the adherence of future
development proposals to the permitting requirements and development standards of
the underlying zoning (Office Zone) and all other applicable requirements of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (e.g., Titles 19, 20, 21, etc.). Additionally, all future requests
for development, whether administrative or discretionary, within the plan area shall
comply with the following in addition to the traffic mitigation measures identified in this
plan:
• Provide a letter from an acoustician detailing how specific construction
measures attenuate the interior noise environment to 55 Leq (h) dBA or
lower;
• Comply with the requirements of whichever Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan for McClellan-Palomar Airport is in effect at the time of subsequent
14
July 2008
development permit application. FCCSP was considered at the May 1,
2008 San Diego Airport Authority hearing and found to be conditionally
consistent with the ALCUP. The Airport Authority found the Specific Plan
consistent that the plan not to allow intensive development and all uses
which involves the assembly of large groups of people (more than one
hundred (100) persons per assembly area (as defined by the California
Building Code Group A Occupancy).
• Comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) (e.g., provision of Best Management
Practices and Low Impact Development requirements) that are current at
the time of project application.
IV. RELATIONSHIP OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN'S ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT TO
SUBSEQUENT DISCRETIONARY PROJECTS
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) for the Fenton Carlsbad Center Specific Plan has been prepared for
the Specific Plan area. The approved development permits/rights for Lots 1, 2, and 3 of
the plan area remain unaffected by the FCCSP and associated MND and MMRP.
Subsequent discretionary development applications for Lot 4 may require additional
environmental review, primarily focused on potential traffic impacts, specifically if site
design and land uses result in greater impacts (medical office) than discussed in the
associated technical studies supporting the MND and MMRP.
V. SPECIFIC PLAN ADMINISTRATION
As contained in Section 65450, et. seq. of the California Government Code, the FCCSP
shall be amended in the same manner as a general plan, except that a specific plan
may be adopted by resolution or by ordinance and may be amended as often as
deemed necessary by the legislative body. The FCCSP may not be amended unless
the proposed amendment is consistent with the City of Carlsbad's General Plan.
Additionally, amendment of the FCCSP shall be subject to the local requirements of
Chapter 21.52 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
A. GENERAL NOTES
The developer(s) shall be responsible for implementing the mitigation measures which
are based on the Fenton Carlsbad Center Specific Plan Mitigated Negative Declaration
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Where questions arise regarding the
interpretation of this Specific Plan, the Planning Director shall resolve them in a manner
consistent with the Municipal Code, adopted City plans, and City policy. Such decisions
by the Planning Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission and City
Council.

2. San Diego Regional Airport Authority
As the project involves a General Plan Amendment, the project was
submitted to the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA)
for a determination of consistency with the McClellan-Palomar Airport
Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) on May 1, 2008. The SDCRAA
adopted Resolution 2008-0018 ALUC finding the project conditionally
consistent with the ALUCP. The condition added was the restriction that
all assembly areas within the proposed project that are located within the
FAZ be limited (as defined by the Uniform Building Code Group A
Occupancy) to no more than one hundred (100) persons per assembly
area in order to be consistent with FAZ guidelines in the McClellan-
Palomar Airport ALUCP.
