Subject: Approve a Specific Plan Amendment to remove a requirement for Lot 1 or
Lot 2 of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan to be developed with
commercial instead of light industrial uses.
Project Name: Carlsbad Oaks North Lots 1 & 2
Project No.: EIR 98-08{A)/SP 211{8)
Recommended Action
That the City Council hold a public hearing to adopt a Resolution approving an Addendum to
Environmental Impact Report EIR 98-08 and introduce an Ordinance approving Specific Plan
Amendment SP 211{8) to remove a requirement for Lot 1 or Lot 2 of the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan to be developed with commercial support uses on property generally located at the
southwest and northwest corners of Faraday Avenue and El Fuerte Street within the Carlsbad
Oaks North Business Park and in Local Facilities Management Zone 16, as recommended by the
Planning Commission.
Executive Summary
The property owners are seeking to remove a requirement in the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific
Plan for one of two lots (Lot 1 or Lot 2) to be reserved for commercial support uses instead of
light industrial buildings. Lots 1 and 2 are two of five lots in the Specific Plan that could be
developed with commercial support uses, but unlike the other three lots, either Lot 1 or Lot 2
must be developed for commercial support uses. Removal of the requirement for commercial
support uses on one of the lots would allow developers the flexibility to build either light
industrial or commercial support uses on these lots in the same manner as the other three lots.

RA =Recommended Approval;
X= Final city decision-making authority
The applicant, Ladwig Design Group, on behalf of Techbuilt Construction Corporation and
Carlsbad Oaks North Ventures, LP, is requesting an amendment to the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan to relieve Lot 1 or Lot 2 from the requirement that one ofthe lots must be developed
with a commercial support use project. These lots would remain as two of the five lots
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 2 of 176
EIR 98-08(A)/SP 211(B)-CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT LOTS 1 & 2

Page 2 of 3
designated by the Specific Plan for potential development of commercial support uses ("auxiliary
uses" in the Specific Plan) within the Carlsbad Oaks North business park. Elimination of the
requirement for commercial support use development would not preclude that type of
development on either lot. However, the lots would also have the flexibility to develop as
industrial sites like the other three auxiliary use lots. There are also minor corrections proposed
throughout the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan to update city staff titles, code section and
page reference numbers, and current entitlement application titles, etc.
The requirement for either Lot 1 or Lot 2 to be developed with commercial support uses is
associated with a mitigation measure in EIR 98-08 to help reduce vehicle miles travelled by
business park employees, and thus, help reduce potentially significant air quality impacts. At the
time the Specific Plan was approved, some of the roads and road connections present today had
not yet been built, and there were no existing commercial uses within easy access to the business
park area. Requiring one lot within the business park to be developed with commercial uses was
intended to ensure that there would be a commercial site in proximity to the Carlsbad Oaks
business parks. Since the time the Specific Plan was approved, numerous commercial sites have
been developed in the area in proximity to the business park area. Those developments have
essentially fulfilled the purpose of the EIR mitigation measure and the Specific Plan requirement,
so there is no longer a need to require either Lot 1 or Lot 2 to be developed with commercial
support uses. The request is consistent with the General Plan, other aspects of the Specific Plan,
and all other applicable requirements.
The Planning Commission considered the request on August 17, 2016. There were no speakers
or Commissioner questions of staff on the item. The Planning Commission adopted Planning
Commission Resolution Nos. 7187 and 7188 (6-0, Goyarts absent). The approving resolutions,
along with the Planning Commission staff report of the August 17, 2016 Planning Commission
meeting, are attached for the Council's review.
Fiscal Analysis
No fiscal impacts to the city or public facilities have been identified as a result of this amendment.
Next Steps
City Council's action on this item is final.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-08, SCH #2000051057) was certified with approval of
the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan on October 8, 2002. The City Planner has determined that
this project would not result in any previously-undisclosed significant environmental impacts or
a substantial increase in the severity of previously disclosed impacts or additional significant
impacts beyond those previously addressed under EIR 98-08 for the Specific Plan. The City
Planner has also determined that the project does not create the conditions requiring the
preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162
and 15163. Therefore, an Addendum (EIR 98-08(A)) has been prepared and is attached to the
resolution in Exhibit 1.

Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Initiation of Plan
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan was prepared at the request of the property owner, Techbilt
Construction, Inc. In 1986, the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan (SP _200) was approved.
Although the proposed Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park site was included as Area B ofSP 200, the
document set forth the detailed regulations, conditions and programs for development of Area A, which consists
of 187 acres located directly to the south of the project site. This area has been developed with industrial uses in
accordance with the approval of SP 200. The split of the Specific Plan into the southern and northern parts was
determined to be the best mechanism to allow development of the southern portion of the Specific Plan. In
1986, it was anticipated than an amendment to the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan would take
place to include a more detailed discussion of the northern portion of the Specific Plan. The proposed Specific
Plan for the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park is proposed in lieu of the amendment anticipated to address
development of the site.

Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
B. Project Location and Ownership
The Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park project is located in the northeast quadrant of the City of Carlsbad,
entirely within the boundary of Local Facilities Management Zone 16. Specifically, it is located on a 414-acre
parcel north ofPalomar Airport Road, one-quarter mile east ofEl Camino ReaL A regional map depicting the
location ofthe property within the County and a vicinity map presenting the location of the property in the City
of Carlsbad are provided in Figures 1 and 2 on pages I-3 and 1.:4. The completion of Faraday Avenue and the
extension ofEl Fuerte Street will provide access to the site. Planned industrial and open-space land-use
designations surround the property on the north, south and west sides.
Immediately south of the proposed project is Carlsbad Oaks, an existing 187-acre industrial development
governed by the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan (SP 2{)0), Tentative Subdivision Map (CT 74-
21) and subsequent Final Subdivision. Grading, improvements for water, sewer, streets and drainage facilities
have all been completed on this area, as well as significant industrial building development. The Carlsbad
Safety Center and Faraday Industrial Park (CT 85-12), is located to the west of this property. This project has
not been recorded or developed. On the east side of the project, within the City of Vista, lies the Canyon Creek
single-finnily residential development. Canyon Creek is a 285 unit, 6,000 square foot minimum single family
project (PC 88-76) that is part of the Vista Business Park Specific Plan. Carlsbad Raceway is also located
approximately a half-mile east of the project site. Immediately north of the proposed project is the Dawson Los
Monos Canyon Reserve. This 260+/-acre sensitive area is part of the University ofCalifomia Natural Land and
Water Resources System and is used by the university for scientific and educational purposes. The property
immediately to the west of this reserve is undeveloped county land with a portion being farmed. The property
is owned by Carlsbad Oaks North Partners, L.P., and Escondido Serenas Development, Inc., and is legally
described as: A portion of Lot "B" of Rancho Agua Hedionda, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego,
State of California, according to map thereofNo. 823, filed in the office of the county recorder of San Diego
County, November 16, 1896, excepting there from all that portion lying southerly of the northerly line of
Carlsbad Tract No. 74-21, according to Map No. 10372, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San
Diego County, Aprill3, 1982.

Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
C. Specific Plan Acreage and Site Description
The project site encompasses a total of approximately 414 acres. The City's General Plan designates 282 acres
for Planned Industrial (PI) and 135 acres for Open Space (OS). The proposed land use acreages are for
approximately 194 acres ofPlanned Industrial (PI) and 220 acres of Open Space (OS).
The development boundaries of the proposed industrial project which overlaps designated Open Space
boundaries represent an agreement with the City, State and Federal wildlife agencies and the land owner through
the Habitat Management Plan (HMP) "Hardline" process. ·
Environmentally constrained areas of the site include the Agu~ Hedionda Creek and its southern fork, La Mirada
Creek, and a linear riparian woodland consisting of oaks, willow and sycamore trees in the southerly portion of
the parceL The site is also occupied by a number of sensitive habitat types including Coastal Sage Scrub,
Southem Maritime Chaparral/Nuttall's Scrub Oak, SouthemMixed Chaparral, and ValleyNeedlegrass. The site
topography can be characterized by three different topographic areas: the north facing hillside slopes that extend
down from the existing Carlsbad Airport Business Center development to the south, the rocky hills which cover
the central and northern site areas, and the intervening east and west canyon drainage. Portions of the site have
been previously cultivated for agricultural purposes.
D. Purposes
The purpose ofthis Specific Plan is to provide for the design, development and operation of a light industrial
complex within the City of Carlsbad. The land-use plan and development regulations will insure an industrial
development that conforms to community goals and values and the protection of adjacent land uses from
unfavorable impacts. This Specific Plan will address land uses, development standards, design guidelines,
public facilities, infrastructure implementation measures, environmental considerations, adnrinistration, and
enforcement.
This Specific Plan is adopted pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code sections 65450 et
~-and the Land-Use Element of the City of Carlsbad General Plan. The Specific Plan establishes the
zoning and development standards for this property. The Specific Plan provides detailed regulations, conditions
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 21 of 176
Carlsbad OaksNorth Specific Plan
and procedures for development within the area specified herein. Unless otherwise specified in this plan, the
project is consistent with and will implement the following city and airport land use plans/policies:
City of Carlsbad General Plan
Carlsbad Municipal Code, Section 21.90 (Growth Management Program)
Zone 16 Local Facilities Management Plan
McClellan-Palomar Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan
E. Proposed Land Uses
The entire property is currently designated under two major General Plan land-use classifications, 282 acres are
designated as Planned Industrial (PI), with the remaining 135 acres designated as Open Space (OS) (See Figure
5, page I-13). Proposed land uses will result in an adjustment to the existing land use boundaries of the General
Plan so that 194.5 acres are designated fur PI (including 26.6 acres of roadways) and 219.5 acres are designated
as OS in confOrmance with .the City's Habitat Management Plan (HMP) hardline open space boundaries (See
Figure 6, page I-14). Zoning for the property will be changed to Planned Industrial (P-M) and Open Space
(OS), consistent with the land use designation boundaries (See Figure 7, page I-15).
Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park is a planned industrial development which will consist ofseveral different
uses such as industrial, research and development, and office uses. Commercial land uses that directly support
the industrial park may be permitted on certain lots along Faraday Avenue and El Fuerte Street (approximately
44.3 acres). The Tentative Map consists of23 industriallotsranging in size from 2.6 acres to 20.8 acres, I
Open Space lot (Lot 9) for a passive recreational area or a future pump station, -and 3 Open Space lots.
Industrial pad acreages range in size from 1.8 to 20.6 acres. Two circulation arterial roadways must be extended
to provide access to the site: Faraday Avenue will be extended from its existing easterly terminus to the Specific
Plan eastern boundary, and El Fuerte Street from its existing northerly terminus to Faraday Avenue. A table and
map detailing proposed land uses and associated square footage is provided on Figures 3 and 4, pages I-7 and I-
8, respectively.

F. Issues Addressed in the Plan
Issues addressed by this plan include land use compatibility with the existing industrial development to the south
(Carlsbad Airport Business Center), the existing open space and industrial development to the west (Faraday
Industrial Park, the Dawson Los Monos Canyon Reserve to the north, the existing residential development to the
east, and the airport. Issues also include preservation of open space (including the protection and maintenance
of sensitive biological resources), visual aesthetics of the development, consistency with the General Plan,
provision of adequate public facilities and improvements, and the Zone 16 Local Facility Management Plan.
G. Relationship of the Plan's Policies to its Regulations
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan is both a policy and a regulatory document. The Plan will serve as the
zoning ordinance for the subject property. Where the plan varies from the existing city regulation, specific
policy statements are presented to clarify the intent and purpose of the proposed regulation.
The specific plan goals and policies, as specified in Section liD below, will serve to generally guide and direct
development within Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park. The specific plan regulations will implement these
goals and policies. Detailed regulations will control the type, location, intensity, and appearance of
development in Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park. The illustrative plans contained in this document are
conceptual in nature only. Specific project site design shall be subject to future City review and must conform
to all applicable codes, standards and design requirements.
H. Compliance with the General Plan
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan is consistent with and implements the Carlsbad General Plan.
Specifically, it addresses the following General Plan goals applicable to Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park:
1. Land Use Element
a. Industrial Goal A-A City which develops an industrial base of light, pollution-free
industries.
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan is consistent with the intent of this goal, as it incorporates office,
research and development and light manufacturing uses into the Specific Plan.
1-9
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 25 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Plan
b. Commercial Goal A-A City that achieves a healthy and diverse economic base by
creating a climate for economic growth and stability.
The light industrial component of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan will strengthen the City's tax base, as
well as provide increased job opportunities for local residents. The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan allows
for the commercial development of appropliate lots to serve the needs of the specific plan's tenants as well as
accommodating local residents.
c. Employment Goal A - A City which develops an industrial base of light, pollution-
free industries of such magnitude as will provide a reasonable tax base and a
balance of opportunities for employment of local residents.
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan includes 23 indUstrial lots ranging in size from 3.0 acres to 20.7 acres,
which will provide a significant tax base, as well as employment opportunities for local residents.
d. Environmental Goal A-A City which protects and conserves natural resources,
fragile ecological areas, unique assets and historically significant features of the
community.
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan is consistent with the intent of this goal by protecting large areas of
natural resources, and by buffering the Los Monos Canyon Reserve. The project area is generally drained by
the Agua Hedionda Creek. The northwest portion of the project area drains to Agua Hedionda creek, and the
remaining portion of the area drains south to La Mirada Creek, which is a major tributary of Agua Hedionda
Creek. All proposed lots drain southerly away from the Los Monos Reserve. A small area of undeveloped land
adjacent to the reserve will drain from the Carlsbad Oaks North open space lot 12 to the northwest and into the
natural drainage course into the reserve.
2. Open Space and Conservation Element
a. Goal A.l Preserve and create an open space system
Preservation of open space, and particularly the large open space habitat corridor that wraps around the Specific
Plan area from the northwest to the southeast, is an important aspect of the Specific Plan. Open space
constitutes the largest single land use within the Specific Plan area, and much of the Specific Plan open space is
in this large, contiguous habitat corridor. The large open space areas shown in the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan will provide a certain degree of visual relief to the industrial park, as well as a sense of natural
spaciousness.
1-10
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 26 of 176
3. Circulation Element
a. Alternative Modes of Transportation Goal A-A City which promotes, encourages,
and accommodates a variety of transportation modes as alternatives to the
automobile. ·
The circulation plan for Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park has been designed to comfortably accommodate
automobile, mass transit, pedestrian and bicycle needs. Bus services, shuttle linkages to the Coaster, bicycle and
pedestrian trails are all encouraged in Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park as alternatives to the automobile, as
discussed below.
b. Street and Traffic Control Goal A.l -A City with an integrated transportation
network serving local and regional needs which accommodates a balance of
different travel modes based on safety, convenience, attractiveness, costs,
environmental and social impacts.
Regionally, the city of Carlsbad, is served by the North County Transit District (NCTD) which provides bus
transit services to the north county coastal communities, including the cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas,
and Del Mar. The NCTD currently operates two local bus routes through the City of Carlsbad, two "corridor"
bus routes which run along the coastal corridor and the El Camino corridor inland, and one express line that
provides bus service from Oceanside to La Jolla and San Diego. A commuter rail service, the Coaster, has been
established linking Oceanside with San Diego along the existing San Diego Northern Railroad which connects
Los Angeles and San Diego. Two station locations in the city of Carlsbad, on Grand Avenue and on Poinsettia
Lane have been constructed along the 42 mile Coaster line. Support transit service, in the form of shuttles, will
be encouraged between the stations and Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park.
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan will provide a pedestrian circulation system which is both safe and
comfOrtable, thus encouraging non-vehicular traffic. A pedestrian trail easement within the open space system
or an expanded right-of-way along El Fuerte Street and Faraday Street will enhance the pedestrian experience,
thus encouraging the use of alternate modes of transportation. In addition, with the completion of Faraday
Avenue and El Fuerte Street, public transportation will have access to the Specific Plan area.
I. Entitlement Approvals Pennitted by the Specific Plan
Approval of this specific plan establishes the zoning for Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park, setting forth the
permitted uses and regulatory criteria and guidelines. Future development of Carlsbad Oaks North Business

II. . LAND USE
A. Introduction
This section describes the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan, its goals and proposed land uses. Itbegins with
an overview of the site's opportunities and constraints for development, includingland use compatibility issues,
natural and cultural features, and infrastructure considerations. A general development concept follows, which
describes the proposed land uses. Goals, objectives, and policies follow, which will provide the framework for
future development of Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park.
B. Opportunities and Constraints
1. Land Use Compatibility Issues
Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park is compatible with the existing industrial developments to the south
(Carlsbad Oaks Business Center)andwest (Faraday Industrial Park). Its proximity to the Dawson Los Monos
Reserve to the north and the residential development in the City of Vista to the east will require special
consideration to achieve compatibility with respect to noise, hazards and aesthetics. The development also lies
within the flight activity zone ofPalomar Airport. To achieve compatibility with Palomar Airport and to meet
F AArequirements, a building height restriction matching the highest natural elevation on the property will be
required.
2. Natural and Cultural Features
The most significant natural feature on the site is the Agua Hedionda Creek and its southern fork, La Mirada
Creek, which cross the southerly portion of the parcel. Natural plant communities along this area include oak
riparian forest, oak woodland, willow scrub, and marshes. Much of this natural habitat will be preserved. On
the remainder ofthe site are gently rolling shrub-covered hills previously cultivated for agricultural purposes.
Predominant plant communities here include chaparral and coastal sage scrub. Several eroded hillsides contain
gullies .. To the north of the site lies the 218 acre Dawson Los Monos Reserve. This sensitive area is part of the
University of California Natural Land and Water Resources System and is used by the university for scientific
and educational pm-poses. A 300' buffer between the Reserve and the project is proposed (see Figure 10, page
II-10).
11-1
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 32 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
Cultural sites are located within the boundaries of Carlsbad Oal(s North Business Park. The sites have been
identified and will require further investigation or possible mitigation prior to grading or disturbance.
3. Infrastructure Considerations
The alignments ofFaraday Avenue and the extension ofEl Fuerte have been carefully considered to minimize
impacts on La Mirada Creek and still function as intended by the Circulation Element. Creek crossings, which
would have been originally required by the General Plan alignment, have been eliminated by moving the
alignment ofEl Fuerte westward. The only remaining creek crossing occurs where the creek narrows, so that the
impacts are lessened.
The City's Sewer Master Plan calls for the constmction of the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer :fi:om the
Raceway property near Melrose Avenue at the Carlsbad/Vista boundary northwesterly through Carlsbad Oaks
North Business Park and -County of San Diego property, along Sunny Creek to the existing line recently
constructed for the "Terraces" residential subdivision. The South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer cannot be
constructed north of Faraday Avenue due to environmental constraints. Therefore, the sewer alignment consists
of a gravity sewer within an existing sewer easement road south of Faraday Avenue from the Carlsbad Oaks
North eastern boundary to the El Fuerte Street right-of-way where it continues north to Lot 9. At Lot 9, the
sewer will become a force main sewer utilizing a pump station. The force main sewer will be constructed within
the rights of way of El Fuerte Street north to Faraday Avenue and west in Faraday Avenue to El Camino Real
and north to the connection of the South Agua Hedionda trunk sewer near College Blvd.
Vista Sanitation District has indicated that they will relocate two existing force mains from onsite easement
location to Faraday Avenue, westerly to the County of San Diego property and to El Camino Real.

Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
C. General Development Concept
The Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park is a planned industrial development that will consist of several different
uses such as industrial, research and development, office and auxiliary commercial uses. The Tentative Map
consists of23 industrial lots, ranging in size from 2.6 acres to 20.8 acres, 1 open space lot (#9) for a future
pump station and/or recreational use, and 3 open space lots. Industrial pad acreages range in size from 1.8 to
20.6 acres. Auxiliary or conditional uses that directly support the industrial park are required on either Lot 1 or
2, and may be permitted on lots that front on Faraday Avenue, subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use
Permit. Access to the industrial park will be provided from El Fuerte Street and Faraday Avenue. The internal
circulation consists of a loop street with cui-de-sacs. The driveway locations (shown on the Tentative Map)
have been designed to be consistent with current location and engineering requirements (see Figure 1 0, Page II-
10).
Preservation of open space, and particularly the large open space habitat corridor that wraps around the Specific
Plan area from the north to the southeast, is an important aspect of the Specific Plan. Open space constitutes the
largest single land use within the Specific Plan area, and much ofthe Specific Plan open space is in this large,
contiguous habitat corridor. Other open space areas include employee eating areas, a pedestrian trail system,
landscaped setbacks, and slope areas. All designated open space areas are to be maintained by the Carlsbad
Oaks North Business Park Association until such time that ownership is transferred to a natural lands
management entity. Four open space categories are addressed within the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
Area.
1. Open Space for the Preservation of Natural Resources
219.5 acres are dedicated as open space. The large open space habitat corridor, which wraps around
the Specific Plan area from the northwest to the southeast, is preserved as part of the City of Carlsbad's
Habitat Management Plan. This open space comprises significant environme.ntal and aesthetic
resources including. segments of Agua Hedionda Creek and La Mirada Creek.
11-6
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 37 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
2. Open Space for the Managed Production of Resources
This area has not recently been used for agricultural purposes, or mined for mineral reasons. No
portion of the Specific Plan will be reserved for the production of such resources.
3. Open Space for Outdoor Recreation
This project will provide 1.3 -miles (6,800 linear feet) of Pedestrian TraiL
This project will provide 0.8 acres of private recreational facilities (employee eating areas).
4. Open Space for Public Health and Safety
A limited amount of manufactured slopes adjacent to natural areas is maintained in open space.
Where Faraday Avenue and the creek intersect several open space features will be constructed. An
oversized culvert is proposed under Faraday Avenue to serve as a drainage facility. The culvert is
proposed at or near the flow line of the existing water course. The location of the Faraday A venue
crossing was chosen to eliminate a creek crossing with El Fuerte Avenue and there is a natural narrow
area which reduces wetland impacts. A separate animal crossing will be constructed here.
Based on drainage studies for the project, a detention basin is required to mitigate impacts further
downstream near El Camino Real (at the Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park). A dike is proposed
upstream from Faraday A venue to pond water up to elevation 240 and will back up water from the
dike.
D. Goals and Policies

III. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
This section provides standards that will allow unique site plamring and building design on individual parcels
while maintaining regulations assuring the development of an industrial center of excellent quality. Various
setbacks, building separations, building heights and architectural styles will result from the various building
types and land uses and prevailing topography. In accordance with Section 21.34.050 a separate~
Industrial PermitMinor Site Development Plan shall be required to be submitted for review and approval by the
Plallfti.ng DireetorCitv Planner for each industrial lot proposed for development within the Specific Plan
boundaries. -Except as modified by this plan, all projects shall comply with the Planned Industrial (PM) Zone
development standards (Section 21.34.070), Sign Ordinance (Chapter 21.41), and the Parking Standards
(Chapter 21.44) ofthe Carlsbad Municipal Code. In instances where a non-residential planned development is
proposed, a Non Residential Planned Development Permit shall be approved by the Planning Commission in
accordance with Chapter 21.47 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
A. Permitted Uses
All uses shall conform to the general development concepts for a high-quality business park, with all standards
and restrictions established by this plan and with the CC&Rs. Uses in Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park will
be limited to light-and medium-industrial uses, research and development uses, industrial support and services
uses and professional office uses, provided that such uses are confined within a building or buildings and do not
contribute excess noise, dust, smoke, vibration, odor or toxic or noxious matter to the sunounding environment
nor contain a high hazard potential. Uses permitted shall comply with the provisions of this document. In
addition, the following conditions restricting the use of hazardous materials shall be required:
1. No project facilities located within 1,000 feet of any residential unit shall store, handle, or use toxic or
highly toxic gases as defined in the most currently adopted fire code at quantities that exceed exempt
amount as defmed in the most currently adopted fire code.
2. Facilities that store, handle, or use regulated substances as defmed in the California Health and Safely Code
25 53 2 (g) in excess of threshold quantities shall prepare risk management plans for determination of risks to
the collll'i:lunity.

Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 45 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
3. Facilities that store, handle, or use any quantity of a toxic or highly toxic gas as defined in the most
currently adopted fire code, which are also regulated substances as defined in the California Health and
Safely Code 25532 (g) shall prepare an offsite consequence analysis (OCA). The analysis shall be
performed in accordance with Title 19 of the California Code ofRegulation2750.2 through 2750.3. If the
OCA shows the release could impact the residential community, the facility will not store, handle, or use the
material in those quantities. If a decrease in the quantity of material reduces the distance to toxic endpoint
to where the community is not impacted, the facility shall be able to utilize the material in that quantity.
Computer models may be utilized as a tool to determine the distance a hazardous material can travel if
released to the atmosphere; Parameters such as temperature, wind speed, atmospheric stability, and quantity
released, material properties, and type of release (e.g., pressurized gases) is considered by these models.
Models can by overlayed onto maps, which will show the distance to toxic endpoint in the event of a
release. These models can be performed under "worst case" meteorological conditions and chemical
release. Under this situation, the maximum harm potential is determined from the most sophisticated
method available to ensure community safely.
1. Primary Uses
Those uses that are permitted in the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park upon the approval of a Planned
Industrial Permit shall be those that are listed in Section 21.34.-020 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and those
uses permitted with a Conditional Use Permit in Section 21.34.W.Q-020 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, except
that all uses must conform to items 1-3 above regarding the use of hazardous materials. All uses will conform to
Section 21.34.090 ofthe Carlsbad Municipal Code unless otherwise specified herein. which limits potential
noise, odors, vibrations, humidity, heat, glare, or high intensity illumination. This section also requires that all
uses meet air quality standards, requires manufacturing to be indoors, and disallows outdoor storage and loading
areas adjacent to non-industrial properties.
2. Auxiliary Uses
Those auxiliary uses which directly support the industrial park and are listed in Section 21.34.~20 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, may be permitted upon lots I, 2, 5,_6, and 8 subject to issuance of a Conditional Use
Permit in accordance with the Conditional Uses Ordinance, Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. -+e

from work are intended for these sites. These sites shall be installed by the developer and provided for the
tenants of the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park prior to occupancy of the first industrial building.
4. Open Space
Open Space Lots 10, 11, and 12 are subject to the provisions of the Open Space Zone, Chapter 21.33 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, except as otherwise provided herein, and shall be subject to any future management
plan approved by the City and implemented by a natural lands management entity. No encroachment or
development shall be permitted, except as required for biological mitigation, passive recreation areas, utility
easements, and trails including any necessary fencing and signage, as shown on Carlsbad Tract Map CT 97-13,
required by Program EIR 98-08, and/or this document.
B. Parking
-,
All parking shall be provided onsite. The parking requirement for all uses shall comply with Chapters 21.44 of
the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Where two or more uses occupy a single structure the parking requirement shall
be determined by calculating the requirement for each use individually based on its proportional share of total
floor area. No change to a lJSe requiring more parking will be allowed unless the additional parking is provided.
If the additional parking is not provided, the City shall deny the appropriate permit or license for the new use.
No parking shall be allowed in the required front yard and street side yard setbacks. No credit shall be given for
on-street parking.

E. Landscape Architecture
1. Landscape Concept Statement
A number offactors have been considered in establishing the landscape character and development
criteria for the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Specific Plan. The prominent physical features of
this hillside site are the generous entry streetscapes, which provide instant overview of the Business
Park, large expanses of natural open space, and the site-sensitive graded slopes. These irregular slopes
create a clustered development providing opportunities for a natural pattern of plant massing as viewed
from a distance, and terraced overviews from the individual building pads. With this in mind, the
intended setting for the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park is reflected in the project's name. Oak
trees will serve as a theme tree at entry monuments and along major streetscapes. Clustered groves of
trees, planted in informal groupings of the same species, provide the primary support of the theme.
Trees should be placed in large, informal groupings with shrubs massed below to give the appearance
of being a remnant of an old grove or forest.
Additional landscape components such as low maintenance, drought resistant plant material,
preservation of existing naturalized and native vegetation, a brush management program and sensitivity
to the surrounding areas will all contribute to the success of the Specific Plan Area.
The following guidelines fur the landscape character, themes, treatments and plant material selections
are only guidelines and shall not be construed as absolute requirements.
Alternative concepts should be allowed as long as careful consideration is given to ensure the creation
and enhancement of an aesthetically pleasing environment for this planned development.
2. General Requirements
a. All landscaping must comply with the City of Carlsbad Landscape Manual.
111-7
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 51 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
b. All areas within the developed area such as setbacks .and areas not used for parking or storage shall
be landscaped with groundcovers, shrubs, and tree materials.
c. Natural Open Space Areas: Open Space Lots 10, 11, and 12 will be maintained in accordance with
the approved management plan by the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Association until some
future date at which time ownership will be transferred to the City it!s designee for perpetual
maintenance.
d. Undeveloped Areas: For .those parts of the property, in which immediate development is not
proposed, the property shall be maintained by the developer/owner/lessee. These areas need not
be fully landscaped until such time as the Plmmed Industrial Permit is implemented. All required
setback areas shall be fully landscaped and maintained until development occurs.
e. Screening: Areas used for parking, trash enclosures and all other accessory buildings shall be
landscaped in such a manner as to screen said areas from access streets and adjacent properties.
Plant materials for this purpose may consist of lineal or grouped masses of shrubs and/or trees.
Landscape screening of parking lots from adjacent roadways and/or single fumily residences shall
be required. No parking overhang shall be permitted at the top of slope. Cars may be screened
from tops of slope by a combination of shrubs, trees and low masonry walls. Where parking lots
will be visible from public streets at or below grade, the use oflandscaped berms shall be used
which are of sufficient height to screen parked cars.
f All landscaping shall meet the requirements for sight distance corridors (see Figure 16, page ill-
22).
g. All landscaping p!Jrsnant to this section(except for parking areas. and other building pad
landscaping), shall be installed by the developer upon completion of mass grading in accordance
with the approved landscape plan and maintained through the Business Park association and/or, if
approved by City Council, a maintenance district.
h. Individual lots: Building pads not occupied by buildings or parking lots shall be entirely
landscaped and maintained in accordance with the approved landscape plan. These areas include
required setbacks, berms, parking area planting and building perimeters. A minimum of 10
percent of the required parking area inclusive of driveways shall be landscaped'. Landscaping in
the building setback areas shall not count towards meeting this requirement.
L A detailed landscape and irrigation plan shall be submitted and approved by the Planning
DirectorCitv Planner prior to the approval of the final map for any phase of this project.

3. Landscape Treatment
Eight different categories of landscape treatment have been identified which represent the various
landscape conditions that occur 1hroughout the Specific Plan area. These categories describe the
landscape treatments unique to each area or condition. Tree suggestions are provided within each
classification while project-wide shrub and groundcover suggestions follow at the end of this Section.
The Landscape Concept Plan (Figure 14, page ITI-18) compiles these criteria into a graphic form for
use as a visual guide for locations and overall site development.
The categories are as follows:
a. Entry Treatments
b. Streetscape and Street-side Setbacks (Major and Minor Streets): Including streets,
adjacent slopes and building setback areas
c. Interior Slopes and Setbacks: Slopes within the project and setback areas between building
pads
d. Parking Areas: Parking areas associated with the final building plans
e. Passive Open Space Use Areas and Eating Areas: Developer provided passive open use
sites and outdoor eating areas
£ Perimeter Screening: Perimeter treatments along the north and eastern edge adjacent or
oriented toward the existing residences
g. Naturalizing I Exterior Slope: Slopes oriented toward the natural open space areas
h. Fire SIJppression/Slopes
i. Suggested Shrubs and Groundcovers (all landscape treatment areas)
a. Entry Treatments:
One primary and two secondary entry statements providing a sense of arrival will be developed at the
intersection of Faraday Avenue and El Fuerte Street and the two main entry points to the Carlsbad Oaks
North Business Park at the intersections of Faraday Avenue and Street"])" (respectively). See Figure
14, page ITI-18. These entry areas will include monument walls or signs along with strong identifYing
landscape elements. A refined landscape character will be created through the use of certain: plant
material, enhanced paving, lighting, and contour benning. Groupings of mature oak trees (transplant
existing specimen oak trees located onsite where feasible or offsite as necessary) will provide a strong
identifYing background element at the entries along with other accent trees, accenting shrubs and
groundcover.

b. Streetscape and Street-side Setback Areas:
The streetscape area encompasses the street right-of-way, the adjacent street-side setback area and any
additional slope area, which is oriented toward the street througb.out the Business Park An overall
landscaping program comprised of an effective combination of street trees, tree massing, shrubs and
ground cover shall be established to unify the development. A 50-foot landscaped setback is provided
along El Fue1ie Street and Faraday Avenue. Streets A, B, C, and D shall include an average 35' wide
landscape easement that promotes greater continuity through Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park as
well as with the adjacent Carlsbad Oaks West and Carlsbad Oaks East Business Parks. It also affords
opportunities for enhanced landscape treatment within the streetscape areas, as well as providing
additional distance between the travel lane and future buildings. Large, street-facing slopes should be
densely planted with shrub material of varying height and groundcover to minimize the constructed
quality of the slopes and maintain a more natural appearance. Slope trees should be planted in large,
informal groupings of the same species to create a dense "grove" effect. While dense tree planting is
preferred, special attention should be given to preserve view opportunities. Tree placement should be
done with reference to anticipated location of all structures.
1) Major Streets (El Fuerte and Faraday Avenue): Except for approved driveway and sidewalk
locations, the entire area between the curb and the building setback line along with any
additional slope area which is oriented toward the street shall be landscaped and maintained
by the developer, Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park association or maintenance district.
Street tree planting shall be formal along these streets.
2) Industrial Streets: Except for approved driveway and sidewalk locations, the entire area
between the curb and the building setback line along with any additional slope area which is
oriented toward the street shall be landscaped and maintained by the developer, Carlsbad Oaks
North Business Park association or maintenance district. Street trees shall be planted in
informal groupings.
3) Berms: The landscaping in all street-side setbacks shall include berms to screen parking
where possible and as noted below. The average height of berms along major streets and
Street "D" shall be 36 inches. The height of the berm shall be measured from street curb or
parking lot curb, whichever is higher. When the parking area is more than 36 inches below
111-11
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 55 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
street level, the berm may be reduced to 18 inches. Berms are not required where the entire
area between the street and building is to be landscaped and free of parking.
§:!) Intersections: Accent or enhanced landscaping shall be provided at key intersections
throughout the business park. Landscaping and berms, not including trees, will be limited to a
height of 30 inches within the triangle formed by a line extended between points 45 feet
distant from the intersection of the right-of-way lines prolonged. Collector and arterial streets
shall conform to AASHTO sight distance requirements -(see Figure 16, page Ill-22}.
6,2.} Driveways: Landscaping and berms, not including trees, will be limited to a height of 30
inches within the triangle formed by a line extended between points 45 feet distant from the
intersection of the right-of-way lines prolonged.

All manufactured slope banks adjacent to a public roadway and all interior manufactured slope banks 4
feet and higher shall be stabilized, planted with a combination of trees, shrubs, and ground cover and
irrigated consistent with the City's Landscape Manual. These slopes are predominately manufactured
or man-made and located between building pads as either a rear or side slope. Within these areas, the
main objective of the plant material is to stabilize the soil, provide screening and address view
opportunities. The plant material will be more ornamental than native, yet should be of a drought
resistant nature. Trees should be planted in large, informal groupings of the same species to create a
"grove" effect. While dense tree planting is preferred, special attention should be given to preserve
view opportunities. Tree placement should be done with reference to anticipated location of all
structures and maintaining access to their "front door". The trees shall be placed more frequently in
the lower portions of the slope to afford the lower lots privacy and preserve distant overviews from
upper lots.

f Perimeter Screening Areas:
Slopes along the north and eastern edge of the property, adjacent to Dawson Los Monos Canyon
Preserve and residential areas respectively, require plant material with screerung qualities. Each area
to be planted shall be carefully evaluated and plant material located to achieve maximum screening
potential. Planting shall be placed in. reference to anticipated building locations. To screen views of
buildings at higher locations, large shrubs should be massed at top of slope with dense, screening trees
placed further down the slope. To screen views of buildings at lower locations, trees and shrubs should
be massed at top of slope. Plant material for screening should be predominately evergreen.
Native plants shall be used to the greatest extent feasible in the landscaped areas adjacent to and! or
near mitigation/open space areas and/or wetlandlriparian areas. The introduction of invasive exotic
plant species to the landscaped areas adjacent to and/or near the mitigation/open space areas and! or
wetland riparian areas shall be prohibited. Exotic species not to be used include those species listed on

Perimeter slopes are manufactured slopes that abut both a building pad and open space or native I
naturalized planting. Where naturalizing slopes are adjacent to interior slopes, a transitional planting
area shall be created in the lower third of the slope to carefully blend the two treatments to appear more
natural. The plant palette for this transition zone is to be approved by a biologist prior to installation.
Slopes shall be planted to blend with the native vegetation, and yet produce a low fuel or fire
suppression situation. Trees shall be placed in groups of the same species. Careful consideration will
be given to screening buildings and parking lots where viewed across large open space areas.
Naturalizing I Exterior slopes shall require permanent irrigation and miillmal maintenance to eventually

H. Architectural Guidelines
All structures which are proposed on lots within this Specific Plan shall comply with the following Architectural
Guidelines:
1. Square, box-like buildings without facade fenestration and large, unbroken expanses of wall are prohibited.
No more than 35 linear feet ofunarticulated exterior walls shall be allowed in areas visible from parking
lots, public streets, adjacent residential homes, or open spaces. Articulation includes additive elements
(columns, projections, towers, etc.) and subtractive elements (windows, doors, carved openings, niches,
etc.).
2. All building elevations are required to have facade variations in a minimum of three (3) separate materials,
textures, and colors.
3. The rear and sides of buildings are required to have architectural detail similar to the front elevation.
4. Light, neutral colors shall be used on buildings to help reduce their perceived size. Contrasting trim and
horizontal color bands are permitted to break up the vertical monotony of tall flat walls.
5. All mechanical equipment, on the roof or on-grade, is required toe screened from view from all pedestrian,
vehicular, and open space vantage points.
6. Rooflines are required to be articulated with shorter elements to reduce building mass. Occasional sloped
roof forms shall be introduced over special areas and special functions to create visual interest.
7. Front door and entrances to building shall be clearly defied and easily recognizable from the structure's
parking lot area.
8. Buildings shall be well articulated by changes in height and vertical planes to reduce the appearance of bulk
and create interesting building silhouettes. Special emphasis shall be placed on building form to ensure that
structures have changes in height and vertical planes to avoid monotonous and boxy architecture. Sloping
roof: varying roof heights and forms are encouraged to provide interesting building silhouettes. For large
buildings, flat roofs with appropriate parapet treatment to provide relief will be acceptable.
9. Buildings that are adjacent to Faraday Avenue and the residential land uses to the east shall incorporate roof
equipment into the architecture. No roof equipment requiring separate roof screens will be permitted on
these lots after buildings are constructed.
10. A combination of building materials, including accent materials that are consistent with the surrounding
natural environment such as tile or natural stone shall be required. Exterior walls shall be low intensity
colors and shall be accented with low intensity color compatible natural materials in order to blend with the
111-27
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 71 of 176

surrounding natural open space. Cube like highly reflective building designs are not considered appropriate
architectural styles. However, the minimal use of glass curtain walls are acceptable when incorporated into
other natural building materials and architectural features.
11. Special emphasis shall be placed on building entries. Entries shall be defined with special enhanced
architectural treatment, enhanced paving on walkways, and enhanced landscaping.
12. Special emphasis shall be placed on side elevation architecture on lots abutting Faraday Avenue.
13. Windows shall be designed and placed to enhance the exterior appearance of the structure and shall be
consistent in design, size and scale with the building.
14. The north. facing facade of buildings on lots 17 through 21 will not need special details or architectural
treatment.
15. Light colored roof materials shall be used to reflect heat.
I. Employee Eating Areas
This project shall be required to comply with subsection 21.34.070(J.Q), employee-eating areas, of the Carlsbad

otherwise required by this document, and shall screen this equipment from the view of adjoining properties and
public streets.
S. Outdoor Lighting
All outdoor lighting shall be designed to reflect downward. Specifically, lighting shall be directed away from
the residential neighborhood to the east to avoid impacts to adjacent ho.mes or property and away from open
space lots surrounding the industrial lots to the maximum extent feasible. A separate lighting plan shall be
required as part of the Planned Industrial Permit for each perimeter lotabutting either residential land uses or
open space.
Energy efficient low sodium parking lot lights shall be required on all lots. Low-pressure sodium lamps areless
likely than other lights to shift circadian rhythms and may be used to reduce the adverse effects of artificial
lighting on wildlife. When warranted, the low-sodium lights should be used in conjunction with cut-off shields
(fully shielded/full cutoff lighting). Such shields eliminate the horizontal and upward projection of light and
direct the light downward, eliminating excess illumination. Lighting on-site should be restricted to this type of
recommended lighting wherever feasible. Lighting should not be installed in the vicinity of the local wildlife
corridor or at primary water sources within the native lands, to promote use of these areas by local wildlife.

IV. PUBLIC FACILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
A. Introduction
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan land area lies entirely within Local Facilities Management Zone 16.
The public facility requirements for this property are fully addressed in the Zone 16 Local Facilities
Management Plan (LFMP). The approved Zone 16 LFMP was prepared pursuant to the City's Growth
Management Program. The Zone 16 LFMP: 1) provides a detailed description of how the zone will develop, 2)
demonstrates how and when each required facility and improvement will be constructed to accommodate phased
development within the zone, and 3) provides a complete description of how each facility and improvement will
be financed when mitigation is necessary.
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan implements, but does not supersede the Zone 16 Local Facilities
Management Plan. The specific plan has been designed to be consistent with the purpose and intent ofthe Zone
Plan. The following are the development policies as they pertain to the community facilities identified in the
Zone 16 Local Facilities Management Plan. The following also identifies specific mitigation requirements of
the Zone 16 LFMP. Development within the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan shall be responsible for
providing its fair share of required facilities within Zone 16 as well as impacted facilities outside of Zone 16.
B. City Administrative Facilities and Library Facilities
Zone 16, including the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan area, will be developed with entirely non-residential
uses. Therefore no impacts will be generated by development in Zone 16 to the City's adopted performance
standard, and no mitigation is required for Zone 16 to meet the adopted performance standards.
C. Park Facilities
Since the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan and the entire Zone 16 LFMP will be developed for non-residential
uses, the established performance standard of 3 acres of Community Park or Special Use Area per 1,000
population within the Park District does not apply to Zone 16 or the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan.
However, the City has concluded that non-residents who work in the City also have an impact on the City's
recreational facilities.
IV-1
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 79 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
Mitigation Recommendations: The Zone 16 LFMP recommendation for park mitigation is to establish a park fee
of $0.40 per square foot on the zone's non-residential development. This fee would be collected at the time of
building permit issuance and would be used to construct recreational facilities to offset the demand created by
employees within Zone 16.
D. Open Space
The Growth Management performance standard requires that 15% of the total land area in the zone exclusive of
'environmentally constrained non-developable land be set aside for permanent open space and must be available
concurrent with development. There are 175.6 net acres per the LFMP constraints analysis in Zone 16,
therefore, at build out, Zone 16 will require 26.3 acres of performance standard open space. This demand is
more than satisfied by the provision of 219.5 acres of open space in Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park. This
specific plan also proposes the development of a trail system/pedestrian walkway to allow occupants to move
freely ·within the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan area and to access both the open space and recreational
amenities provided. They are also designed to tie into the Future Citywide Trail System. Signage for the
specific plan's proposed trail system will be consistent and meet the signage requirements of the Futme
Citywide Trail System.
E. Fire
Within the growth Management Program, a fire performance standard for non-residential uses is not identified.
However, a fire performance standard was adopted for the non-residential uses in zone 5. The Carlsbad Oaks
North Specific Plan does not exceed any of the three thresholds applied to zone 5 as discussed below:
1. Daily work force in excess of 12,000 people.
2. Specific plan is beyond the five-minute response time for fire protection.
3. The Fire Department is unable to provide 1,000 gallon per minute of fire flow in 10 minutes or less.
Zone 16, and the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific plan currently and at build out, meet all three non-residential
fire-service thresholds. For this reason the specific plan and all development in Zone 16 is not required to
provide additional fire facilities. However, the specific plan will be required to meet the landscaping restrictions
IV-2
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 80 of 176
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan
identified in the city of Carlsbad's Landscape Manual as well as provide required sp1inkler systems in all
proposed development.
F. Schools
Under the Growth Management Program, a performance standard for non-residential uses is not identified.
However, a school performance standard was adopted for the non-residential uses in zone 5 which assumed that
non-residential zones would be required to pay a school fee based on the square footage of development. The
fee is based on legislation which determined that employees can educate their children in the same school
district in which their place of employment is located. The fee is intended to offset the cost of the construction
of school facilities required to accommodate children of parents working within the school district.
G. Transportation Facilities
Access to the property will be provided by the extension .ofEl Fuerte Street from the south and Faraday Avenue
from the east and west. Both El Fuerte Street and Faraday Avenue are shown as 84' ROW Secondary Arterial
roadways on the Circulation Element of the General Plan.
Driveway locations have been determined as part of this Specific Plan, as shown on Figure 10, page II-10.
These driveway locations are in conformance with the City Standard, and will be adhered to when future
Planned Iadustrial Permits (PIP)Minor Site Development Plans are applied for. Deviations from this plan or
from City Standards may necessitate an amendment to this Specific Plan.
El Fuerte Street will be extended as a part of this Specific Plan with the first phase of development to intersect
with the future Faraday Avenue, shown as an 84-foot ROW Secondary Arterial on the Circulation Element of
the General Plan. The roadway alignments will be carefully considered to minimize any impacts on La Mirada
Creek and still function as intended by the Circulation Element. Faraday Avenue will be constructed to
secondary arterial street standards connecting Orion Drive on the west and Melrose Drive to the east with the
first phase of this development. The County of San Diego has agreed to dedicate the right-of-way across their
property as part of the settlement agreement for the trash/transfer station with the City of Carlsbad.

· I. Drainage Facilities
A Preliminary hydrology analysis has been conducted for the project and drainage facilities are proposed that
will control runoff. A detailed hydrology analysis must be prepared prior to approval of a final map or issuance
of grading permit to address specific drainage characteristics of the proposed development and supporting
infrastructure. The drainage control plan will be implemented in accordance with the recommendations ofthe
detailed hydrology study and will address on-site and off-site drainage requirements to -ensure on-site runoff
will not adversely affect off-site areas. This shall include the design and construction ofthe detention basin as
identified in the ruck Engineering "Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basin Project" report dated June 30, 1998.
All graded lots within Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park with the exception of a small (2-acre) portion of Lot
24, will be graded to direct flows into an onsite desiltation basin and then directly into an underground system
that either connects to the major onsite drainage system or in some cases of small drainage areas, into a rock
dissipater and then to a natural drainage swale. The major onsite drainage system in "D" Street flows
underground to Faraday Ave. and into two separate pollution control basins prior to discharging into La Mirada
Creek.
Where La Mirada Creek crosses under Faraday Avenue, a major detention facility will be constructed (see
drainage report from Howard Chang, Ph.D., PE., dated April1997, and ruck Engineering Company report for
Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basin project, job #13182, dated 6/30/98). The March 1994 City Master
Drainage Plan requires several existing storm drain systems that were constructed with the original Carlsbad
Oaks East and West Projects to provide attenuation to bring these older systems into conformity with current
design standards. All ofthe existing system flows will be detained in the new basin at Faraday. In addition, the
drainage Master Plan cost estimate includes a provision for a potential bridge structure (Paragraph BP on page
83) on Faraday Ave. across La Mirada Creek. The Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park project is proposing a 6'
x' 7' box culvert (per ruck Engineering Company study) with a detention basin. Another Master Drainage Plan
Facility (BPB 36" and 45" RCP) will be constructed on-site in "D" Street.

J. Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Implementation of the project will result in a change in the topographical conditions of the area and
development of the site. Because a majority of the project area topography is in its natural condition, a
suhstantial increase in impervious surfaces and corresponding stormwater runoff volumes is anticipated.
Approximately 200 acres will be graded and developed with the Specific Plan and supporting infrastructure on
and off-site.
After project implementation, the project site will generally drain in the same manner as the existing condition;
however, grading requirements of the project will alter the existing drainage patterns causing erosion or siltation
on the site or in the area on a short-term basis during construction. The short-term erosion and siltation will be
controlled through compliance with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standard in
effect at the time of development.Geaera! Construction ?!i:tonnwater Pennit (Order }fu. 99 0&, NPDE?!i 1-ID.
C,A~SOOQ002) and 1he General :M±mieipal Stotmvt'ater pennit (Order No. 2001 01, NPDES NO. CAS010&758}
requiremeats. NPDES discharge permitting requirements ~include implementation of a SWPPP
(including a sampling and analysis strategy and sampling schedule for pollutants which are not visually
detectable in storm water discharges), which consists of eight required elements necessary to control erosion and
siltation and contaminated runoff from construction sites.
Each graded lot within the project site will be graded to direct flows into an on-site temporary desiltation basin
and then directly into an underground system that either connects to the major on-site drainage system or in
some cases of small drainage areas, into a rock dissipater and then to a natural drainage swale. Each developed
lot will have a structural B:MP or drainage filtration basin to collect and filter pollutants from the point source.
The major drainage system in Street D flows underground to Faraday Avenue and into two and separate
pollution control has ins prior to discharging into Agua Hedionda Creek.-:-Figure 23 (NPDES Facilities) depicts
the location of temporary and permanent desilting has ins and future NPDES facilities. Where Agua Hedionda
Creek crosses under Faraday Avenue, a major detention facility will be constructed. The permanent water
quality basins are located south ofFaraday Avenue as the majority of the on-site stormwater runoff drains south
to La Mirada Creek and westward to Agua Hedionda Lagoon.

A Concept Water Quality Plan has also been prepared for the projectto assist in defining the permit
requirements needed for the construction and post-construction scenarios. The Concept Water QUality Plan
includes a discussion of the projectBMP)plan implementation (construction BMP options, post-construction
BMP options, BMP options for future development, sizing criteria, pollutant loads, detention basins, and
SWPPP monitoring). During construction, BMPs such as desilting basins, hydro seeding, and other erosion
control measures will ?e employed consistent with the SWPPP; howevyr, BMPs may change based on the Ci1y' s
interpretation ofOrderl'+o. ?001 OlNPDES requirements.
Phase 1. CollStrnetion
The greatest potential for short-term water quali1y impacts to the drainage basin would be expected during the
grading and construction of the project when cleared and graded areas are exposed to rain and storm water
runoff. Improperly controlled runoff could result in erosion and sediment transportation into the existing
drainage basin. During construction, the objectives for implementing BMP's as described in the "California
Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbook," are for the following: practice good housekeeping, contain
waste, minimize disturbed areas, stabilize disturbed areas, protect slopes and channels, control site perimeter
and control internal erosion.
To mitigate storm water pollution, mostly sediment, during construction, both BMP's for contractor activities
and BMP's for erosion and sedimentation shall be used.
BMP's for contractor activities include the following:
1. Managing dewatering and paving operations and structure construction and painting.
2. Management of material delivery, use and storage.
3. Spill prevention and control.
4. Waste management for solid, hazardous and sanitary waste, contaminated soil, concrete.
5. V ehlcle and equipment cleaning, fueling and maintenance.
6. Contractor, employee and subcontractor training.

BMP's for erosion and sedimentation control include the following:
1. Vegetative stabilization such as hydro seeding or mulching.
2. Physical stabilization such as dust control, geotextiles and mats, construction road stabilization and
stabilized construction entrance.
3. Diversion ofnm-offusing earth dikes, temporary swales and drains.
4. Velocity reduction using outlet control, check dams and slope roughening.
5. Sediment trapping using silt fence, gravel bag barrier, inlet protection, sediment traps and basins.
A storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) will be prepared and implemented during this construction
phase. The SWPPP will consist of the selected BMP's, guidelines and activities to carry out actions which will
prevent the pollution of storm water runoff. A preliminary SWPPP has been prepared as part of the concurrent
applications and is attached as an appendix to this Specific Plan.
Phase 2. Post Construction
Of the three phases tb,e post construction phase should generate the least amount of urban pollutants. The
grading has been completed, slopes have been landscaped and irrigated, the storm drain system, temporary
desilting basins and the permanent water quality basins have been installed. During this phase a combination of
source and treatment control BMP's shall be implemented.

3. Permanent water quality basins
This phase will continue until all individual lots within the project have been developed. As each lot is
developed, the temporary desilting basins will be replaced with permanent BMP measures that will be
appropriate for the specific use of each lot.
Phase 3. Future Development
When each individuallqt is developed, it shall provide both source control and treatment control BMP's as
described in the "California Stotm Water Management Practice Handbook" for industrial and commercial
projects. Each development shall use source. control BMP's and one or more of the following treatment control
BMP's:
Potential Source Control BMP's
1. Non-storm water discharges
2. Vehicle and equipment fueling, cleaning and maintenance
3. Material management and storage
4. Outdoor storage of materials and by-products
5. Waste handling and disposal
6. Building and grounds maintenance

4. Biofilters
5. Extended detention basins
6. Media filtration
7. Oil/water separators and water quality inlets
8. Multiple systems
Since a Pll!Minor Site Development Plan permit is required for each development, the specific BMP's for each
development will be determined at the time development is proposed. As required, a storm water pollution
prevention plan will also be prepared and implemented for each lot The SWPPP consist of guidelines and
activities to select and carry out actions which prevent the pollution of storm water discharge. In addition to the
selected BMP's for each lot, the pe1manent water quality basins, located downstream, will serve as additional
treatment in removing pollutants from storm water runoff prior to discharge into the existing natural drainage
course.
Sizing Criteria
The sizing offue treatment control BMP's shall comply with the RWQCB's numeric sizing criteria. As required
by the RWQCB, fue project, depending on the type ofBMP, will use one of the following numeric sizing
criteria:
Volume based BMP is volume of runoff produced from a 0.6" storm event.
Flow based BMP is volume of runoff produced from rainfall of 0.2 in./hr.

As part of the project, a detention basin is proposed at the Faraday Avenue crossing of the existing drainage
channel. The detention basin is one of four basins along the south tributary of the South Agua Hedionda Lagoon
proposed by the City of Carlsbad. Since the storm drain outlets for this project are located upstream of this
crossing/detention basin, the basin will ensure that there is no significant impact to downstream properties due to
increased runoff.

Loss of nesting Northern Harriers within the greater project area is expected, and is
considered an wunitigable impact at the project level. White-tailed Kites may also
discontinue nesting within the riparian canopy of the primary creeks. Mitigation is
reconunended to enhance and provide additional protection .for other kite nesting or
roosting locations in the Carlsbad Area (e.g., riparian habitat along Agua Hedionda
Creek west ofEl Camino Real). This would include initial identification of historical
kite nesting/roosting sites on publicly owned lands, and funding of signage, and
policing actions if necessary, to keep humans from trespassing into the near vicinity
of these nest/roost sites while they are actively in use. Clearing of vegetation,
including all native habitat as well as non-native grassland, shall be performed in the
non-breeding season (outside of the period from February 15 through. August 30) in
order to avoid impacts to nesting raptors.
For the road crossings to provide effective benefits to wildlife movement, proper
design is essential. The crossings shall include fencing that funnels animals towards
the entrances to the undercrossings and reduce over the road crossings. Vegetation
should be kept back from driving surfaces to discourage animals from approaching
the roadways. Fences shall not be located immediately adjacent to roadway surfaces
and shall include cover vegetation on the road side of any fencing so that animals
that do get onto the road have protected cover that they can retreat into. Fencing can
be discontinuous but should be used to train movements of animals in the pattern of
flow desired.

to nesting birds including sensitive riparian species and the Califonlia

9) Construction trenches should be inspected daily and any trapped wildlife shall
be removed and released unharmed into native vegetation a hundred feet or
more from the construction area. Construction fencing shall also be employed
where appropriate to minimize impacts to wildlife during the construction
phase of the project.
10) The concentration of ongoing recreational human activities in a reduced area
(i.e., not including areas proposed for development) is not necessarily
considered significant, if similar future activities are restricted to the pre-
existing routes of travel. However, there should be future monitoring of the
local wildlife habitat and vegetation conditions in areas that are currently
pristine native habitat, to better evaluate any ongoing impacts, and to respond
with management actions if required in the future. If the proposed open space
easement is to function properly as mitigation it will need not only to be
preserved but also managed in perpetuity. To assume that vegetation
cormnunities such as occur on-site are static systems would be incorrect.
Temporal vegetation community shifts may alter the suitability of areas for
some species over time. The level of disturbance Within an area may change
(including fire frequency) and micro-habitat use by some. resident species may
cease if a local or regional corridor has limited capacity to support these
resident populations. Taking such temporal issues, as well as edge effects into
consideration, the proposed open space easements should be managed to
contribute the goals of the MHCP and maximize diversity and abuudance where
appropriate. A manageroent plan for the proposed open space easeroent shall be

VI. SPECIFIC PLAN ENVIR0NNIJ:2NTALRFVIEW
A. Relationship to Environmental Impact Report 98..08
As required by the California Environmental Quality Act, a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was
prepared as a separate document concurrently with the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan. The Environmental
Impact Report, prepared by Cotton/Bridges/ Associates, Inc. analyzed the Specific Plan in regard to impacts
associated with land use, transportation and traffic, air quality, noise, biological resources, geology and soils,
hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, cultural resources, paleontological resources,
aesthetics, public services and utilities, and population and housing.
Through implementation of the mitigation measures identified in Section V.H., Environmental Impacts
Mitigation, of this document, development of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan will not result in significant
project specific and/or cumulative impacts to the physical environment with the exception of traffic, air quality,
and biological resources. Overriding consideration have been made by the City Council for traffic, air quality,
and biological impacts through certification of the EIR. Development of the Carlsbad Oaks North Business
Park in accordance with the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan therefore requires that all mitigation measures
imposed by the certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-08) be incorporated into the project or
completed as required by each mitigation measure.
B. Subsequent Environmental Review
As detailed planning progresses, it is anticipated that Planned Iudl:!Strial PermitsMinor Site Development Plans,
Conditional Use Permits, Non-Residential Planned Unit Developments and/or Tentative Maps will be submitted
for City review in accordance with the Specific Plan. A Program Environmental Impact Report was required for
the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan to determine and evaluate the project's potential impacts. If subsequent
activities are proposed outside of the scope of the Program Environmental Impact Report, then an Initial Study
shall be used to determine whether an additional CalifurniaEnvironmental Quality Act (CEQA) document must
be prepared. Potential additional CEQA documents include Negative Declarations, Mitigated Negative
Declarations, Project, Supplemental and SubsequentEIRs. Subsequent CEQA documents may be tiered with
the original EIR and may incorporate and reference aspects and elements ofthe original ElR.

C<!.Jifornla Code of Regulation Tit!~ :1;4 (hereinafter "California Environm~ntal Ql!ality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines") Sectlo11s 15162"15164 indude provisions for a lead agency to carry out a project when new
information come;Stb li&htm chi:Jnges have occurred after the project EIR was certified.
Sec.tion 15162 ofthe CEQA Guidelines states that no subs~quehtEIRwould be necessary for a project with
<f previously certified EIR unless: 1) substantial changes have occurred to the project or to existing
conditions that create new significant environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of
ptev!ously identified environmental effeCts; or 2) new, substantially important InformatiOn that was not
or could not have; beeh, known at the time the original EIR was.certified shows thatthe proje~ may create
new or more sev~te effects or that different alternatives or mitigation m~asure:s could reduce significant
effects but the applicc:lnt declines to acceptthem.
Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines indicate.s that an Addend!Jm to a previously certified EIR may be
prepared for a project if so[lle changes or additions to th.e EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions
In section 15162 exist that would require a subsequent EIR. Section 15164 goes on to state thatwhen an
Adden.dum is preparedi the administrative record must lndllde a brief expl<matiori about why the lead
agency decided not to prepare a subsequent fiR based on Section 15162 •. The following sectfon details

5,9 CARLSBAD OAKS NORtH SPECIFIC:: PlAN EIR 98...'08
The CbNSP requirement for nearby commercial support uses addressed i:;>ne of the mitigation measures
r~quired by EIR 98~08. The EIR identified potentially significant air q.uality impacts that would be ¢a used
by oper~tional traffic as!;Oci13ted with the build~out of the CONSP industrial development. The EIR
include~:Lmitigation measures to reduce impacts, incluclingthe firstofeight bullet items under Air Quality,
AQ-;3, Which echoec:l the requirement for con')mercial s@port uses. This first of eight items under
mitigatipn measure AQ.,c3 specifically states:
Pr()vil:le within the proposeq c:leveJopmemt, a eomrnercial site designated to serve the comn1ercial
needs of the occupants offne l;nisiness park.
The intent of this mitigation measure; although not overtly stated, was to redl.Jce air quality impacts
through rec:I{Jq:!d vehicle miles travelled during the Wprkday for employees of the industrial parks by
ensl.Jrtng availability of nearby commercial support uses.
6.0 DESCRIPTION OF PfWPOSED CHANGES TO THE CONSP
The curr.ent proposed project is a request to arpend the CONSP by eliminating the text containln15 the
reqltir'ernellt for commercial support servic!=!S to be developed on either Lot 1 or Lot2; lots l, and 1 ar¢
two pf fiVE! "auxiliary use'' lots within the CONSP area that could be developed with commercial support
uses or light indu~trial uses, but fhey wen~ the only two lots where commercial support uses were
specifically required to be developed on one oft he two lots. R~moval of the reqUirementWolild still allow
for either or both lots to be developed with commen:ial s.Upport USes or light iridustri9l use.s.
7.0 EXISTING CONDitiONS AND SURROUNDING USES
The two lots designated for possible commercial support uses (lots 1 and 2) are locateti ppproXimate1y
one trl:lVel mile away from the r)lbst distant lot of the CONSP development, anq approximately 1.5 travel
·miles away from the mostdistant lot of the i:ASP development. The only other commerticH support liSeS
that were e:X:Istlrig nearby in 2002 (although they were not easily accessible then; the CONSP presume(:!
road coniiectitms would be constructed by biJild-out so they would pe moreeasily?tcessible in the future)
were: a gas stat.i.on atthe northwest .corner of Melrose Avenue and Syc(lmore Avenue to the east in Vista;
Vista Palomar Park with a gas station/conyel)1encestore ani:j fast food re,stc~J)rallts at the northwest comer
o.f Palomar Airport Road and Business Park Drive to the east in Vista; and the Fed:..E:x .center at the
· southeast corner of Faraday AVenue ar:td Orton Ro~d to the west iri Carlsbad. The sites t:h<!t mor$ directly
supported the industrial. park were the Vista Palomar Park and Fed~ Ex sites that have food uses o"rbUsihess
service/retail .uses, ratf:ter than the gas station that is a general support use for a vadety of land uses ... In
pract1c!ll terms, these nearby sites meant th11t occl,lpants .of the industrial park w(nllq have had W m'ake
separi)te c:iJ~treet trips or a. longer round trip toac¢e~s the food and business service/retail uses. The food
uses at VIsta Palomar Park as well as the Fed~ Ex center are between t\fl/6 and 2.$ travel miles from the
CONSP area, Discreet and round trips to ~hese site.s would be apbi.Jt 10 or 7.5 miiS!i, respectively. Figure
4 shows the commercial sites that had cfeveloped in the surrounding area b'/2005.

After th¢ adopti<m ofthe CONSP, all of the anticipa1ed road connections were tonstrUc~ed ;:.s assumed in
the CONSP for build-out. These include the extension of Faraday Avenue to connect between El Camino
Real and Melrose Drive; E:l Fuerte Street to connectfrom Palomar Airport Road to Faraday Avenu~; and
Melrose Drive to extend south and connect to Palomar Airport Road. Also sint:e that tlme1 several more
developments that could be considered as. commercial support l!s~s have b.eeri b.uilt in the surrounding
area. These Include a Home Depot on Melrose Drive ih Vista circa 7006; a Target em Business Park DriVe
northeast of Lionshead Avenue in Vista tirtc:l 2008; i:!dditi(?nal ~:ommercial and fast foqd uses adjacent to
the gas station ;:~t Melrose Drive and Sycamore Avenue circa 2010; and the Bressi Ranch Town Center built
by 20I)9. rwq hotels in Bressi Ranch and one hotel at Melrose Drive and Faraday Avenue in Vista have
recenfty be~tl aqd.M as Well. However, tiJe most relevant development that he:!~ i'l bearing on Lots 1 and
2oft he C:bNSP was the construction of the commercial tenter atthe northWesttotner of PalomarAirport
Road and Loker Avenue West which is within the tASP, This center has a Staples store, a bank, fastfood
and personal services lises, The center is located Within l,S rniJes.of the CONSP lots located furthest aw~y
fiom it, Figures shows the additional commercial developme-nts that had been built ln the area by2014,
8,0 COMPJIA.NCE WITH tiR 98-08 iVtlTIGATWN MEASURE AQ~3
The ~l(jstence ofthaCenterat Loker Avenu¢and PalomarAirport Road specifically meets the requirements
qf th~ CONSP and mitigation measure AQ..-3. The ~:enter reduces vehicle miles travelled in the CON and
tASpecific Plan areas by providing convenient commerdal support uses w1thJn 1.5 miles ofthe industrial
uses, Compared to the 7S-10 mile trips that industrial park occupants would have experienced in 2002
to ij(:cess commercial support uses, the presence of a .site with a mix of commer'daJ support uses within
1.5 miles reduces v~.hitle trip mnes by up to seven miles f<:>.t .each trip. Moreover, now that the road
connections have been constructed, the development ofother sites with similar types ofsupport uses in
the surrounding area further enha.nees the variety and convenience of these uses for industrial park
occupants. MoreoVer, these nearby corrl'merdal support uses haveathiever::l the purpose ofthe first bullet
item unde(tfjitigatibn measure AQ-'3, Therefore, the elimination .of the requirement for lot 1 or Lot 2 to
be developed with commercial support uses will not have any greatet enVironmental impact than
prevlotisly analyzed under EIR 9s~os.

(3) New information of substantial importt~nce, which. was not khoMm and coukt;no.t o;:~ve been
known With the exercise of reasonable diligence atthe time the previous EIR was certified as
complete, shows any of tl:le following~
(A) The project will have one Of more significi:mt efft=ds not discussed in the previous EIR;
{B} $ignificarrt effects previously examined will be substantially more severe th<:~h shown In
the preYil)us EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures br !3lternatives previously found not tei be feasible would in fact be
feasible, and would substantialfy reduce one or more significant effects ofthe prqject, but
the projec:t prop()nents decline to adopt tbe mitigation measure or altema~.ve; ()r
(D) Mi:tigation measures or aft,etnati¥es whkh are ccms1derably differen.t from tiu>se analyze<:~
iii the, previous ErR W9tlid substantially reduce one or lliOJ".E:! significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decfine to adopt the mitigatiQrl me.as[Jre or
altE!riJatiVe-.
Under conditiord abovet the CONSP teqo.k~rneht fpr Lbt i or Lot 2 to be developed wfth commercial
support uses was the provision that implemt!nted the first bullet item under E!R 98-08 mitigation measur¢
AQ~a. As discussed above, the requirement of the CONSP ancl AQ-3 has been met by means other than
either Lot 1 or 2. being developed with commercial suppQrt ttses. The pattern of development af1er
adoption of the CONSP has resulted in a. cbl)lm~tGlal site within 1.5 miles and sE!ileral others nearby that
serve the commercial needs of the lild,u.sW.af park occupants. Thus, there iS, no need to eliminate or after
the first bullet item under AQ-3 because it I) as been met in a way that is equally effective in achieving the
pljrpose at'ld intent of that p;:trt of the mitigation measure. ·
· The propQsect proje(;t will npt h~ve anY other effeds more signifiC~nt th<Jn previously analyzed and will
nq~ regt(ire <::hahges to any other tnitig<;~tl.on measures, Traffic impacts associated with vehicle trips for
Lots 1 and2 wpuld b.e reduced by an industrial project being developed rather than a cornm¢rcialu$e that
generates higher average d?ily trips. There would also not be anymore significant land use changes since
the proposed project do.es not introduce lana uses that ate not cilready provided for in the CONSP,
10.0 CONCLUSION
The anarysis above suppb.rl:s a determination that approval of the change to the carlsbad Oaks North
Spe.clfic Plan lde.ntif~ed In S¢qjon 6.0 above would not result in any previously-1Jnclisdosed significant
environmental lrnpact:S oi" a sUbstantial inc;r:eas.e in the seveiity of previouslY discl()s.ed impacts or
additional significant impacts beyond those previously addressed underEIR ~13-'PS. for the Specific Plan. A!i
di$tjJSSE!d above, this document memorializes the City's reasoned com;lusron that the amende.d Specific

The proposed amendment as described by the Specific Plan Amendment (SP 211{8)), is consistent
with the provisions of the General Plan in that it will promote the continued growth of industrial
uses with reasonable access to existing nearby commercial development that will help reduce
vehicle trips and potential air quality impacts ofthe business park's development.
The proposed plan amendment to remove the requirement for development of commercial
support uses on either Lot 1 or Lot 2 would not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare oft he City in that either of the lots, or the other lots designated
as 11auxiliary use" lots could be developed with industrial uses by right, or with commercial
support uses by approval of a conditional use permit as provided for within the Carlsbad Oaks
North Specific Plan.
That the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan will continue to be the controlling document for the
development of the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park. It will continue to further the
objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment. The proposed
amendment to the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan is consistent with the intent and purpose
of the existing Specific Plan to ensure an industrial development that conforms to the
community goals and values for industrial development.
All necessary public facilities can be provided concurrent with need, and adequate provisions have
been provided to implement those portions of the capital improvement program applicable to
the subject property.
The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry the anticipated traffic
thereon in that removal of the requirement for development of commercial support use on
either Lot 1 or Lot 2 could result in a decrease, and would not result in any increase, in
associated traffic and vehicle trips previously assessed for the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific
Plan, and no new or modified streets are required as a result of SP 211(8).
6. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to

A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
ltemNo. 8
P.C. AGENDA OF: August 17, 2016
Application complete date: May 2, 2016
Project Planner: Teri Delcamp
Project Engineer: Steve Bobbett
SUBJECT: EIR 98-0S(A)/SP 211(B}-CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT FOR
LOTS 1 & 2 -Request for a recommendation of approval of an addendum to
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 98-08 and approval of a Specific Plan Amendment to
remove a requirement for Lot 1 or 2 of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan to be
developed with commercial support uses instead of light industrial on property generally
located atthe,southwestand northwest corners of Faraday Avenue and El Fuerte Street
within the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park and in Local Facilities Management Zone
16. The City Planner has determined that this project would not result in any previously-
undisclosed significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously disclosed impacts or additional significant impacts beyond those previously
addressed under EIR 98-08 for the Specific Plan, and does not create the conditions
requiring the preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163. Therefore, an Addendum to EIR 98-08 has been
prepared.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission 1) ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7187 RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL of an Addendum to Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 98-08, as contained in application EIR
98-08(A); and 2) ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7188 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of
Specific Plan Amendment (SP) 211(B), based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Background: The Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan (SP 200) was approved in 1986 and
encompassed a much larger area of land than it does currently, generally known as Carlsbad Oaks. The
boundary of SP 200 originally included the area north of Palomar Airport Road (Carlsbad Oaks East and
West) that had already received subdivision approvals in 1980 (known as Area A), as well as a larger area
to the north known as Area B. In 1986, the stated intent of SP 200 was to ensure the orderly development
of Area A, but there were no plans for Area B. SP 200 noted that a future Specific Plan amendment would
be processed to develop Area B. The majority of the lots in SP 200 Area A had been developed by 2002.
Rather than amending SP 200, a stand-alone Specific Plan (SP 211)-Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan-
was adopted by City Council Ordinance NS-646 on October 15, 2002.
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan area consists of approximately 414 acres north of Palomar Airport
Road and 11/4 mile east of £1 Camino Real. Immediately north of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan

area is the Dawson-los Monos Reserve; to the west is vacant land owned by the County of San Diego; and
to the east is the City of Vista. The Carlsbad Oaks East area of the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific
Plan abuts the property to the south. The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan is a regulatory document
governing development within the area defined as the Carlsbad Oaks North business park. The intent of
the Specific Plan is to provide for the design, development and operation of a light industrial complex of
industrial, research and development, and office uses, with a land use plan and development standards
to ensure the development conforms to community goals and values and protects adjacent land uses from
unfavorable impacts. The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan also supersedes the development standards
of the underlying Planned Industrial (P-M) zoning designation of the properties within the Carlsbad Oaks
North business park. Only two other amendments have been made to the Specific Plan since it was first
adopted in 2002: one in 2007 that provided for entry monument signs to the business park (SP 211(A)),
and a recent minor amendment in May 2016 to alter a driveway location for a specific development site
(SP 211(C)/SDP 15-25).
The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan area contains approximately 220 acres of dedicated open space
and 194 acres for the street network and development. The Specific Plan established 231ots for industrial
development. All but the two subject lots that are separated from the other development lots by open
space are accessed via street.s or driveways from Whiptailloop to the north of Faraday Avenue. To date,
one building site has been developed (lonis Pharmaceuticals), one is currently under construction, and a
few others have either obtained, or are in the process of obtaining, entitlements. There are no existing
or proposed entitlements for either lot 1 or lot 2.
Per the procedures contained in the Carlsbad Oaks North, the majority of the individual development sites
require administrative entitlements. When the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan was adopted in 2002,
the land use plan designated five of the 23 development lots as those that could be developed with
"auxiliary uses" or "commercial support uses that would directly support the industrial park" with
approval of a Conditional Use Permit. However, because there were limited nearby commercial sites
nearby at the time the Specific Plan was adopted, the Specific Plan actually requires either lot 1 or Lot 2
to be developed with commercial support uses "to ensure that commercial services are available to the
occupants ofthe Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park and the surrounding industrial areas at a convenient
and accessible location." Only one of the lots would have to be reserved for these uses, since the Specific
Plan stated that the approval of an industrial entitlement for either lot would automatically reserve the
other lot for commercial support uses. The Environmental Impact Report 98-08 prepared and certified
with adoption of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan also contained a mitigation measure echoing this
requirement as a means of helping to improve air quality through potential reduction of vehicle trips and
vehicle miles traveled.
Table A below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and
surrounding properties.

Project Description: As requested by the owner of Lots 1 and 2, the project amends the Carlsbad Oaks
North Specific Plan text in Chapter Ill, Development Standards and Design Guidelines, Section A.2,
Permitted Uses-Auxiliary Uses, by removing the requirement for one of two lots (Lot 1 or Lot 2) to be
reserved for commercial support uses. In addition, minor corrections are found throughout the Carlsbad
Oaks North Specific Plan to update city staff titles, code section and page reference numbers, and current
entitlement applications, etc. Lots 1 and 2 are located north and south of Faraday Avenue, west of El
Fuerte Street at the westerly gateway to the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park. The two lots are two of
five auxiliary use lots identified in the Specific Plan as shown on the land use exhibit in Attachment 5.
Neither Lot 1 nor Lot 2 have been developed. Removal of the requirement for commercial support uses
on one of the lots would not preclude such development occurring on either of the lots. Developers would
have the flexibility to develop either light industrial or commercial support uses on these lots in the same
manner as the other auxiliary lots. No changes are proposed to the existing Specific Plan requirement
that commercial support use developments obtain approval of a conditional use permit. The applicant has
·provided documentation to support the request given the number of other commercial sites that have
developed in the last 14 years in close proximity to the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park (see
Attachments 6, 7 and 8). The proposed changes to the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan are shown in an
underline/strikeout exhibit attached to the City Council draft ordinance that is included with the Planning
Commission resolution.
Ill. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and standards as analyzed within the
following section of this staff report:
A. General Plan Land Use Element-Planned Industrial (PI) Land Use Designation;
B. Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan (SP 211(A));
C. Planned Industrial Zone-(P-M) (Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 21.34);
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP); and
E. Growth Management Ordinance (Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 16).
The recommendation for approval for this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency
with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations
is discussed in detail in the following sections.
A. General Plan
The project site has a Planned Industrial (PI) General Plan Land Use Designation, which is intended to
provide lands primarily for corporate office, research and development, and manufacturing uses with
ancillary commercial uses also permitted. General Plan Land Use Policy No. 2-P.29 for Industrial and Office
allows for service and support uses in areas designated Planned Industrial (PI), including commercial/retail
uses, daycare and education facilities, short-term lodging and other service uses that support planned
industrial areas of the city. The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan designates five lots for potential
development of auxiliary commercial support uses instead of industrial, with approval of a conditional use
permit. The proposed Specific Plan amendment does not remove the auxiliary use designation for Lots 1
and 2, only the requirement that one of these lots must be developed with commercial support uses.
Therefore, SP 211(B) is consistent with the Land Use Element, as well as other elements, of the General
Plan as illustrated in Table B below:

August 17, 2016

B. Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Amendment 211(A)
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment SP 21l(B) is a property owner initiated amendment to the
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan proposing to relieve Lot 1 or Lot 2 from the requirement to be developed
with a commercial support use project. These lots would remain as two of the five lots designated by the
Specific Plan for potential development of commercial support (({auxiliary uses" in the Specific Plan) uses
within the Carlsbad Oaks North business park. Elimination of the requirement for commercial support
use development would not preclude that type of development on either lot. However, the lots would
also have the flexibility to develop as industrial sites like the other three auxiliary use lots. This flexibility
is internally consistent with the purpose and intent objectives of the existing Specific Plan to ensure an
industrial business park that conforms to the community goals and values for industrial development. As
indicated in the General Plan consistency Table B above, the amended Specific Plan complies with the
goals, objectives, and policies of the various elements of the General Plan and can therefore be found to
be consistent with the General Plan. The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan will continue to be the
controlling document for the development of the Carlsbad Oaks North business park. It will continue to
further the objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment. The Specific
Plan Amendment is required to change the text of the plan to allow for the applicant's request. The future
physical development of Lots 1 and 2 requires compliance with the development standards of the
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with the Carlsbad Oaks North
Specific Plan. All infrastructure needed to serve the industrial park is presently in place in accordance with
the Zone 16 Local Facilities Management Plan, regardless of the ultimate use of the properties.
C. Planned Industrial Zone-(P·M) (Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 21.34)
The underlying Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone development standards and permitted uses apply, except
where superseded by the development standards and permitted uses ofthe Carlsbad Oaks North Specific
Plan. There are no proposed changes to the development standards and permitted uses other than
relieving Lot 1 or Lot 2 of .the requireme'nt to be developed with commercial support uses. Eliminating
this requirement does not interfere with the goals and purposes of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan.
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
Lots 1 and 2 are located approximately Yz mile northeast of McClellan-Palomar Airport and are within the
boundaries of the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). The ALUCP was
adopted in 2010, most recently amended on December 1, 2011, and all projects within its boundary are
required to be reviewed for consistency with its goals and policies. Specifically, the project sites are
located within Review Area 1 of the Airport Influence Area, which consists of locations where noise and/or
safety concerns may necessitate limitations on the types of allowable land uses. In addition, Review Area
1 encompasses locations exposed to aircraft noise levels of 60 dB CNEL or greater.
More specifically, pursuant to Exhibit 111-2 of the ALUCP (Safety Compatibility Policy Map), the site is
located within Safety Zone 6, the Traffic Pattern Zone. Office buildings, including professional, medical
and financial offices are considered to be compatible land uses within Safety Zones 4 and 6. In addition,
pursuant to Exhibit 111-1 of the ALUCP, the project is located outside of the 60 dB CNEL noise contour, but
within the Overflight Notification area pursuant to Exhibit 111-6. The proposed project only relieves a
restriction of use; it does not change the list of underlying uses, the land use designation or zoning. Thus,
Item #11 September 27, 2016 Page 162 of 176
EIR 98-0B(A)/SP 211(6)-CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT FOR LOTS 1 & 2
August 17, 2016
the project is consistent with the ALUCP as it relates to noise compatibility. Any future development
which requires a discretionary permit will be subject to the ALUCP.
E. Growth Management Ordinance (Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 16}
The project area is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 16 in the northeast quadrant of the
· City. The Specific Plan amendment project does not have any impacts on public facilities. All required
infrastructure is already in place to serve the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan area. Impact fees for
future development of Lots 1 and 2 will be levied at building permit issuance pursuant to LFMP Zone 16
requirements.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-08, SCH #2000051057) was certified with approval of the
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan on October 8, 2002. In accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the city evaluated the project to determine if the proposed Specific Plan Amendment
would trigger a supplemental or subsequent EIR, or if a simpler document, known as an addendum, could
be prepared. Supplemental and subsequent EIRs are necessary to use when a previously certified EIR is
not, or no longer, adequate to cover the impacts of the changed project and they require public noticing
and review periods similar to that required for Draft EIRs.
CEQA Guideline Section 15162 requires a subsequent EIR if:
L Substantial changes are proposed in the Project which will require major revisions to the previous
EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions to the previous EIR; or
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified.
CEQA Guideline Section 15163 requires a supplemental EIR if:
1. Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 would require the preparation of a subsequent
EIR, and
2. Only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply
to the project in the changed situation.
In contrast, addenda are used when only minor changes are proposed to a project that do not result in
the above conditions. CEQA Guideline Section 1516l:l states that "the lead agency ... shall prepare an
addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the
conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative

declaration have occurred." Section 15164 also notes an addendum may simply be attached to the Final
EIR and does not need not be circulated for public review.
As explained below, staff has reviewed the proposed changes to the Specific Plan and found that none of
the requirements in CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 or 15163 for supplemental or subsequent EIRs have
been triggered. Therefore, the revised project is within the scope of the certified EIR and use of an
addendum to document the Specific Plan changes is appropriate.
EIR 98-08 identified potentially significant air quality impacts that would be caused by operational traffic
associated with the build-out of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan industrial development. The EIR
included mitigation measures to reduce impacts, including air quality mitigation measure AQ-3 which
echoed the requirement for commercial support uses on either Lot 1 or Lot 2. However, in the last 14
years, proximate commercial support uses have been developed in the area that essentially fulfill the
purpose of AQ-3. The City Planner has determined that this project would not result in any previously-
undisclosed significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
disclosed impacts or additional significant impacts beyond those previously addressed under EIR 98-08
for the Specific Plan. The City Planner has also determined that the project does not create the conditions
requiring the preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections
15162 and 15163. Therefore, an Addendum (EIR 98-08(A)) has been prepared and is attached to the
resolution in Attachment 1 for consideration in conjunction with EIR 98-08.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH SPECIFIC PLAN SP
211 (B) AMENDMENT
Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan SP 211 provides development regulations for _414 acres
of Planned Industrial property in east central Carlsbad. SP 211 was approved by the City
Council on October 8, 2002 by Ordinance No. NS646. A tentative map (CT 97-13) is
approved for the whole SP 211 area by the Carlsbad Planning Commission on August 21,
2002 as resolution No. 5429. Phases I & II of the 3 unit tentative map have been recorded
and constructed. Phase III is planned to be recorded and developed soon which will
complete the subdivision development. One building has been constructed and several more
are in the development process. Lots 1 & 2 (subject of this SP 211 amendment) are
completed lots with no building construction. Lots 1 & 2 have a Specific Plan use
requirement to provide either Lot 1 or 2 as a "Commercial Support" lot. When SP 211 was
approved in 2002 (14 years ago) there were no existing "Commercial Support" lots in the
vicinity and at that time 14 years ago SP 211 provided assurance there would be at some -.
time "Commercial Support" available to the "Planned Industrial" lots within SP 211. Today
there is a "Commercial Support'' lot existing at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road
and Loker Avenue West. Just south of Palomar Airport Road and El Fuerte there are
existing "Commercial Support" uses in the Bressi Ranch. In addition, just to the east of SP
211 there is extensive "Commercial Support" in the City of Vista. Attached to this
application are 2 aerial photo exhibits (2005 and 2014) showing existing "commercial
support" uses. In 2005, Carlsbad Oaks North first 2 phases were under construction and
Faraday Avenue and El Fuerte Street had not been constructed. There were in 2005 2
"commercial support'' uses at El Camino real and Alga Road plus the Olympic Resort with a
restaurant where Lowe's is now located. In addition, there was a "commercial support" site
at Palomar Airport Road and Business park Drive in Vista.

In 2014 there are additional "commercial support" sites just to the south of Lots 1 & 2 at
Loker Avenue west and Palomar Airport Road plus in Bressi Ranch just south of Palomar
Airport Road. In addition, west of Lots 1 & 2 at College Boulevard on Faraday Avenue
there are additional "commercial support" uses.
The proposed deletion of the requirement of either Lot 1 or 2 to be used for "commercial
support" still meets the goals and policies of SP 211. Lots 1 & 2 'will still be "auxiliary use
lots" as defined in Goal A of SP 211. The acreage proposed for development will not change
or the amount of"auxiliary use" lot acreage along Faraday Avenue within SP 211. Goals B,
C, DE, F and G of SP 211 are still complied with and un-changed with this proposal. Now
that the road system has been completed (Faraday Avenue and El Fuerte Street) future SP
211 users will have easy access to nearby existing "commercial support" uses in Carlsbad
and Vista.
The existing "commercial support" uses east, west and south of SP 211 are all in
established business/industrial areas with a nearby work force to support the existing
"commercial support'' uses. Time and distance to existing "commercial support" outside SP
211 is minor and the addition of another "commercial support'' use on Lots 1 or 2 of SP 211
would be difficult to support financially because of the nearby existing established sites.
The majority of the proposed uses in SP 211 will be industrial/office uses which typically
are daytime weekday uses limiting the time when commercial uses are needed.
A major concern with any development is the potential for negative traffic impacts from the
proposed change to Lots 1 & 2. There is no change proposed to the development area or
intensity as established by SP 211 and the approved tentative map (CT 97-13). When the
EIR was prepared ap.d approved in 2002 the trip generation assumptions represent a "Trip
Budget" for Carlsbad Oaks North. Conservative totals were incorporated into the modeling
and therefore the analysis represents a worst-case scenario. Table 5.2-3 of the EIR
(attached) shows a total of 235.7 acres, planned industrial (216.9 ac.), light industrial (8.7
ac), low-rise office (4.9 ac), and other commercial (5.2 ac). This total is 68.4 acres more than
the approved tentative map. The EIR on Page 5.2-4 goes on to say that if the eventual land
uses and sizes vary from the currently envisioned development, the potential traffic
impacts will have been addressed by the analysis contained in the EIR, assuming the daily
and peak service trips total remain within the "budget" identified in Table 5.2-3 (22,650

ADT). With the actual developed area at 71% of what were approved in the traffic report,
no additional traffic impacts will occur.
Based on the existing multiple close by established "Commercial Support" uses to the SP
211 Planned Industrial lots, the unlikely financial success of a new "commercial support"
. use within SP 211 and no traffic impact above what was analyzed in the EIR we no longer
see the need to maintain the option for "Commercial Support" uses on either Lot 1 & 2 of
Carlsbad Oaks North within SP 211 and hearby request the requirement for "Commercial
Support" uses by removed from Lots 1 & 2 of CT 97-13.
