V ~9 V Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 11 of 126 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 Pian (SP_200) was approved. Although the proposed Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park site was included as Area B of SP 200, the document set forth the detailed regulations~ conditions arid 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. Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 12 of 126 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 of Palomar Airport Road, one-quaitermile east of El Camino Real. A regional map depicting the location of the property within the County and a vicinity map presenting the location of the property fu the City of Carlsbad are provided in Figures I and 2 on pages I-3 and I.:4. The completion of Faraday Avc;nue and the extension of El 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 200), Tentative. Subdivision M:ap (CT 7 4- 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 iqdustrial 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-family residential development. Canyon Creek is a 285 unit, 6,000 square foot mininium single family project (PC 88-76) that is part ofthe Vista Business ParkSpecific 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 of California Natural Land and Water Resources System and is used by the uniyetsity for scientific and educational purposes. The property immediately to the west of this. reserve is undeveloped county land with a portion being farmed. TM 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 thereof No. 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.· 103 72, filed fu the Office of the Coil:ilty Recorder of San Diego County, April 13, 1982. 1-2 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 13 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan I ; ' ' i l ..... -... -•.• -.. 5 PACIFIC OCEAN Ladwig Design Group 79 ESCONDIDO c;oRONADO IMPERIAi.

Specific Plan Acreage and Site Description The project site encompasses a total o:f 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 of Planned 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 Aguaj Hedionda Creek and its southern fork, La lvlirada Creek, and a linear riparian woodland consisting of oaks, willow and sycalllore trees in the southerly portion of the parcel. The site is also occupied oy a number of sensitive habitat types including Coastal Sage Scrub, Southern Maritime Chaparral/Nuttall's Scrub Oak, Southern Mixed Chaparral, and ValleyNeedlegrass. The site topography can be characterized by tlm~e 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 pmpose of this 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, in:frastmcture implementation measures, environmentai considerations, adniinistration, and enforcement. This Specific Plan is adopted pursuant to the. provisions of California Government Code sections 65450 et segseq. and the Land-Use Element of the City of Carlsbad General Plan.

Issues Addressed in the Plan Issues addressed by tliis plan include land use comp11.tibilitywith 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 IID 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 Pa;rk. 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 confonn 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 Bilsiness 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, rese~ch and development and light manufacturing uses into the Specific Plan. 1-9 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 20 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific 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 opportuni1ies for local residents. The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan allows for the commercial development of appropriate 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 includes23 industrial lots tanging 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. Eriviromnent11l Goal A - A City which protects and conserves natural resources, fragile ecological areas, unique assets and historically significant features of the co mm unity. 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, arid the remaining portion of the area drains south to La Mirada Creek, which is a major tributary of Agua Hedionda Creek. AUproposed lots drain southerly away from the Los Monos Reserve. A small area of undeveloped land adjacent to the reserve will clrain from the Carlsbad Oaks North open space lot 12 to the northwestand into the natural drainage course into the reserve. 2. OpenSpace and Conservation Element a. Goal A.1 Preserve and create an open space system Preservation of open space, and particularly the large open space habitat corridor that wraps aroun.d 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 #4 October 4, 2016 Page 21 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan 3. Circulation Element a. Alternative Modes of Transportation Goal A-A City which promotes, encourages, and accommodates a variety of transpQrtation m()des as alternatives to the automobile. · The circulation plan for Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park has been designed to comfortably accommodate automobile, m.ass 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,1 -A City with an integrated transportation network serving local an:d 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 toLaJolla and SanDiego. A commuterrail 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, Ill 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 righHf-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 A venue and El Fuerte Street, public transportation will have access to the Specific Plan area, I. Entitlement Approvals Permitted 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 .-F• 1-11 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 22 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Park is subject to all tenns and conditions of the specific plan.

LAND USE A. Introduction This section describes the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan, its goals and proposed hmd uses. It begins with an overview of the site's opportunities a11d constraints for development, includingland use compatibility issues, natural and cultural features, and infrastructure consideratio11s. 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. 8. Opportunities and Constraints 1. Land Use Compatibility Issues J_ _.· Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park :is compatible with the existing industrial developments to the south (Carlsbad Oaks Business Center) and west (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 of Paloinar Airport. To achieve compatibility with Palomar Airport and to meet FAA requirements, 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 of the site are gently rolling shrub-covered hills previously c;ultivated 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 purposes. A 3 00; buffer between the Reserve and the project is proposed (see Figure 10, page ll-10). 11-1 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 27 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Cultural sites are located withln the boundaries of Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park. The sites have been identified and will require ~her investigation or possible mitigation prior to grading or disturbance. 3. Infrastructure Considerations The alignments of Faraday Avenue and the extension of El 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 beert eliminated. by moving the alignment of El Fuerte westward. The only remaining creek crossing occurs where the creeknarrows, so that the impacts are lessened. The City's Sewer Master Plan calls. for the construction of the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer.from 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 tltilizing a pump station. The force. main sewer will be constructed within the rights of way ofEl Fuerte Street north to Faraday Avenue andwest in Faraday Avenue to El Camino Real and north to the connection of the South Agua Hedionda trurik 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. 11-2 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 28 of 126 Cartsbad Oaks North Specific Plan "Page Intentionally Left Blank" 11--3 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 29 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan ) Coc,ial S:>;,e Scrub Southern Mt,ed .Chaparrc,VNuttO JrsScrub Oav.

General Development Concept The Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park is a planned industrial development that will consist of several different uses such as industrial, researck and development, office and auxiliary commercial tis.es. The Tentative Map consists of23 industrial lots, ran~ng in size from 2.6 acresto 20.8 acres, 1 open space lot (#9) for a future pwnp station and/or recreational use, and 3 open space lots. Industrial pad acreages range in size from 1.8 to 20 .6 acres. Auxiliary cir conditiona1 uses: that directly support the industrial park are required on either Lot I or 2, and may be permitted on lots that front on Faraday Avenue, subject to the issuance ofa Conditional Use Permrt. Access to the industrial park will be provided frmn El Fuerte Street and Faraday Avenue. The internal circulation consists of a loop street with cul-de-sacs. The driveway locations ( shown on the Tentative Map) have been designed to be consistent with current location and engineering requirements (see Figure 10, 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 of the 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 ownershlp 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, whlch 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 environmental and aesthetic resources including.segmepts ofAgua Hedionda Creek and La Mirada Creek. 11-6 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 32 of 126 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 m,ined fot 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,&00 linear feet) of Pedestrian Trail. This project will provide O .8 acres of private recreational facilities ( employee eating area:s ). 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. Art 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 Avenue. crossing was chosen to eliminate a creek crossing \vi.th El Fuerte Avenue and there is a natural narrow area which reduces wetland impacts. A separate animal crossing wiH be constructed here. Based on dnµnage 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 Avenue to pond water up to elevation 240 and will back up water from the dike. D. Goals and Policies .: -. r - Goal A.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES This section provides standards that will allow unique site planning 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 Perm.itlVIinor Site Development Plan shall be required to be submitted forreview and approval by the Planmng DirectorCity Planner for each industrial kit 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 2 L44) of the 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 Ail 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 Inatter to the surrounding 1;,nvironment 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, oruse toxic or highly toxic gases as defined in the most currently adopted fire code at quantities that exceed exempt amount as defined in the most currently adopted fire code. 2. Facilities that store, handle, or use regulated substances as defined in the California Health and Safely Code 25532 (g) in excess of threshold quantities shall prepare risk management plans for determination of risks to the community. 111--1 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 40 of 126 GMsbad 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 Califonua Code of Regulation 2750.2 through 2750.3. If the OCA shows the release could impact the. residential community, the facility will not sfore, handle, or use the material in those quantities. If a decrease. in the quantity ofmateria:l reduces the distance to toxic endpoint to where the community is not impacted, the fad.lity 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 ttomperature, 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 Pl;mned 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.-0-W-020 ·of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, except that all uses must conform to items 1-3 aboveregardmgthe use of hazardous materials. All uses will conform to Section 21.34.090 of the 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 alf uses meet air quality standards, requires manufacturing to b:e indoors, and disallows outdoor storage and loa:ding 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.W-0-02-0 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, may be permitted upon lots 1, 2, 5,~6, and 8 subject to issuance ofa Conditional Use Permit in accordance with the Conditional Uses Ordinance, Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. :re enSHre that co11'l:l1.lercial services a,re available t0 the ocCHpants of the Carlsba<l Oaks 1'kn+.h Basiness Pffi"k and the su-rroundin-g iHdustrial areas at a convea1eBt and aecessible location, one oftwe lots (Lot 1 or Lot~) foi;:ated at the intersection of El Fuerte Street and Faraday Avenue shall be reser:ed for commercial suppmt use.

The fire suppression setback may not encroach into native vegetation,. including manufactured slopes revegetated with native species. D. Minimum Lot Size Except as otherwise provided herein, minimum lot area shall be subject to and consistent with Section 21.34.070~.(fil-_ofthe Planned Industrial Zone. E. Landscape Architecture 1. Landscape Concept Statement A number of factors 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 Iiaine. 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 ofthe 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 for the landscape character, themes, treatments and. plant material selections are. only guideliiies and shall hot 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 #4 October 4, 2016 Page 46 of 126 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 ofr it:s designee for perpetual maintenance. d. Undeveloped Areas: For those parts of the property, in which immediate developmentis not proposed, the property shall be maintained bythe developer/owner/lessee. These areas need not be fully landscaped until such time as the Planned 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 family 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 9r below grade, the use of landscaped berms shall be used which are. of sufficient height to screen parked cars, £ All landscaping shall meet the requirements fotsight.distance corridors (see Figure 16, page III- 22). g. All landscaping p!Jfsuant to this section ( except forparkiJig 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 licit ciccupie<i by buildings or parkinglots 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 n:ot count towards meeting this requirement. i. A detailed landscape and irrigation plan shall be submitted and approved by the PlamJ.ing Direst:orCity Planner prior to the approval of the final map for any phase of this project. Ill-& Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 47 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Additionally, a detailed landscape plan shall be approved as part of the Planned Industrial Permit requirementfor each industrial lot 111-9 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 48 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan 3. Landscape Treatment Eight different categories of landscape treatment have been identified which represent the various landscape conditions that occur throughout 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 Lands.cape Concept Plan (Figure 14, page rn~ 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 (1v[ajor and Minor Streets): Including streets; adjacent slopes and building setback ateas 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 Slop~: Slopes oriented toward the natural open space areas h. Fire Suppression/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 "D" (respectively). See Figure 14, page IIl-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 berming. Groupings of mature oak trees (transplant existing specimen oak trees located onsite where feasible or offsite as necessai:y)will provide a: strong identifying background element at the entries along with other accent trees; accenting shrub:;; and groundcover. 111-10 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 49 of 126 ;_, Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Entry/Monument tree suggestions: Quercus agrifolia Coast Live Oak Pyrus species Omamental Pears Pinus species Pine b. Streetscape and Streetsside 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 throughout the Business Park. An overall landscaping program comprised of an effective combination of street trees, tree massing, shrubs and ground cover shall be e~blished to unify the development. A 50-foot landscaped setback is provided along El Fuerte StJ.'eetand 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 treatm<ant within the streetscape areas, as well as p:r:oviding additional distance between the travel lane and future buildings. Large, .street-facing slopes should. be densely planted with shrub material of varying height and groundcoverto 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. I) 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 cwb, whichever is higher. When the parking area is more than 36 inches below 111-11 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 50 of 126 :..· -~i Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan street level, the benn 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 . .§.1) 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 heightof30 inches within the triangle formed by a line extended between point1,45 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 III-22). ~2). Driveways: Landscaping and berms, not including trees, will be limited to a heigl;tt of 30 inches within .the triangle formed by a line. extended between points 45 feet distant from the intersection of the rigl;tt-of-way lines prolonged. +Q) All landscaping planted within .San Diego Gas & Electric or other utility company easements shall conform to the standards applied to those easements and shall be approved by SDG&E. &1) All screening trees shall be evergreen varieties. Streetscape and Street-side setback tree suggestions: Quercus agrifolia Coast Live Oak Koelreuteria paniculata Goldenrain tree Pinus species Pine Alnus rhombifolia Alder c. Interior Slopeand Setback Areas: 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. oman1ental 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 plantip.g is preferred, special i:tttention: should be given to preserve view opportunities. Tree placement should be don:e with reference to anticipated location of all structures and maintaining access to their "front door". The trees shall be placed more frequentiy in the lower portions of the slope to afford the lower lots privacy and preserve. distant overviews from upper lots. 111-12 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 51 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Interior slope and setback tree suggestions.: Pinus species Pine Tristania conferta Brisbane Box Quercus agrifolia Coast Live Oak d. Parking Areas: Trees, equal in number to one per four parking sW!s shall be provided throughout all private on-site parking areas. Trees pertaining to this requirement shall be located within the parking area, exclusive.of building setback areas. The trees may be clustered, grouped or distributed evenly across the area. Evergreen canopy trees with minimal litter shall be used within parking areas. Planter islands shall be per the City of Carlsbad's Landscape. Manual.

Passive Open Space Use Areas and Eating Areas: Two passive open space and eating areas ( with the possibility of a third) will be developed within the Specific Plan. These sitse~ shall be installed by the developer and provided for the tenants of the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park. Located on the eastern edge of Lot I, adjacent to Faraday, this site affords users an opportunity to view the native open space areas, which are a unique feature of the site. A future passive open space use area may also be provided on Lot 9, provided that lot 9 is riot utilized as a pump station. Passive outdootuses such as individual lunches, small informal employee gathering or "breaks" from work are intended for all these sites. Shade structures, seating and picnic tables would be provided. Plant material shall consist of turfed areas, shade trees, shrubs and groundcover. Shrubs to be kept low for security purposes.

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 homes 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 Perniit for each perimeter lot abutting either residential land uses or open space. Energy efficient low sodium parking lot lights shall be required on all lots. Low-pressure sodium lamps are less 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 oflight 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. 111-30 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 69 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan T.

Introduction The Carlsbad Oaks North Specific.Plan land area lies entirely within Local Facilities Miiiiagement 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 of the 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 ofrequired facilities within Zone 16 as. well as impacted facilities outside ofZone 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 perforinance 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 Parker 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. 1v ...... 1 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 74 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan 1\1:itigation 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 tiine of building permit issuance and would be used to construct recreational facilities to offset the demand created by employees withinZone 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 17 5 .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 consistentand meet the signage requirements of the Future 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 ofthe 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 p:rovide 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 :tire-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 plm:t willbe required to meet the landscaping restrictions IV-2 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 75 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan identified in the city of Carlsbad's Landscape Manual as well as provide required sprinkler 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 developlllent. 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 ofparents working within the school district. G. Transportation Facilities Access to the property will be provided by the extension.of El 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 Se"°ndary Arterial roadways on the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Driveway locations have been det~rmined 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 fudl:l5trial 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 Specifi.cPlaii 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 Collilty of San Diego has agreed to dedicate the right0of-way across their property as part of the settlement agreement for the trash/transfer station with the City of Carlsbad. IV---3 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 76 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Transportation :financing for off-site facilities ( and on-site Faraday Avenue) may be :financed by an assessment district, :financing (fee) district with reimbursement or other financing means acceptable to the City. This development will construct and contribute its share (including Traffic Impact Fees) to the construction <!Dd improvements of major streets including, but not limited to, the extension of El Fuerte Drive and Faraday Avenue and other transportation facilities identified in the Carlsbad Oaks North traffic analysis. This project shall be approved under the expre.ss condip.on that the applicant shall pay a public-facilities fee as required by City Council Policy No. 17 on file with the City Clerk and incorporated herein by reference and according to the agreement executed by the applicant for payment of said fee.

Drainage Facilities A Preliminary hydrology analysis has been conducted for the project and drainage facilities ate 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 tlie recommendations of the detailed hydrology study and will address on-site and off-site drainage requirements to-ensure 9n-site runoff will not adversely affect off-site areas. This shall include the design and construction of the detention basin as identified in the Rick 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 onsfre 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 A venue, a major detention facility will be constructed ( see drainage report from Howard Chang, Ph.D.,PE., dated April 1997, and Rick Engineering Company report for Rancho Carlsbad Channel and Basm project, job # 13182, dated 6/3 0/98). 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 provid¢ attenuation to bring these older systems into conformity with current design standards. All of the. 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:Mira:da: Creek. The Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park project is proposing a 6; x' 7' box culve1i (per Rick 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.

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 natnral condition, a substantial 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 ofthe project will alter the existing drainage patterns causing erosion or' siltation on the site ot in the area on a shorHerm 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 atthe time of development.General Construction Stormwater Permit (Order }Jo. 99 Q&, }IT'DES NO. CAS0QQ002) and the General Municipal Stormwarerpermit(OrderNo. 2091 01,-NPDESNO. CAS010&75&) requirements. 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 sformwater discharges), which consists of eight :required elements necessary to contn:il erosion arid siltation and contaminated runoff from construction sites. Ea:ch graded lotwithin 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 conilects to the majot on-site drainage system or in some cases of small drainage areas, into arock dissipator and then to a. natnral drainage swale. Bach developed lot will have a strnctnral BMP or drainage filtration basin to collect and filter pollutants from the point source. The major drainage system in StreetD flows underground to Faraday Avenue and into two and separate pollution control basins prior to discharging into Agua Hedionda. Creek . .,. FigU;e 23 (NPDES Facilities) depicts the location of tef!}porary and permanent desilting basins and future NPDES facilities. Where Agua Hedionda Creek crosses under Faraday Avenue, a major detention facilitywill be constructed. The permanent water quality basins are located south ofFaraday Avenue as the majority of the on-site stonnwater runoff<lrains south to La Mirada Creek and westward to Agua Hedionda L~oon. IV-13 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 86 of 126 Carlsbad Oal<s North Specific Plan 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 project BMP) plan implementation (construction B:MP options; post-construction BMP options, Blv.1P options for :future development, sizing criteria; pollutant loads, detention basins, and SWPPP monitoring). During construction, BMPs such as desilting basins,-hydroseeding, and other erosion control measures will ~e employed consistent with the SWPPl'; howev\)t, BMPs may change based on the City's interpretation of Order No. 2001 OINPDES requirements. Phase 1. Construction The greatest potential for short-term water quality 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 peiimeter 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 sanitazy waste, contaminated so:14 concrete. 5. Vehicle and i,quipment cleaning, fueling and :maintenance. 6. Contractor, employee and subcontractor training. IV-14 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 87 of 126 t; ~.·:;'-:. c· "": -.-~·- Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan B:MP's for erosion and sedimentation controlinclude the following: 1. Vegetative stabilization such as hydroseeding or mulching, 2, Physical stabilization such as dust control, geotextiles and mats, construction road stabilization and stabilized construction entrance. 3. Diversion of run-off using 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 wat<::r polllltion prevention plan (SWPPP) will be prepared and implemented during this construction phase. The SWPPP will consist of the selected B:MP's, guidelines and activities to carry out actions which will prevent the pollution of storm water runoff A prelimmai:y SWPPP has been prepared as part of the concurrent· applications and is attached as an appenrux to this Specific Plan, Phase 2. Post Cons.truction Of the furee phases tlJ,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 desilti:hg basins and the permanent water quality basins have been installed. During this phase a combination of source arrd treatment controLBMP's shall be implemented. Potential Source Control BMP's 1. Street/Storm Drain Maintenance 2. Non storm water discharge to drains 3. Waste handling and disposal 4. Landscaping and grounds maintenance 5. Over watering activities 6. Employee training IV-15 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 88 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Potential Treatment Control BMP's 1. Storm drain outlet controls 2. Temporary desilting basins on each lot (see Figure 23, page IV-20) 3. Permanent water quality basins This phase wil1 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 individual 1qt is developed, it shall provide both source control and treatment control B~'s as desc1ibed in the "California Storm 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 1nanagement and storage 4. Outdoor storage of materials and by-products 5. Waste handling and disposal 6, Building and grounds maintenance 7. Building repair, remodeling and construction 8. Over~water activities 9. Employee training N-16 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 89 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan Potential Treatment Control BMP's I. Infiltration 2. Wetponds 3. Constructed wetlands 4. Biofilters 5. Extended detention basins 6. Media filtration 7. Oil/water separators and water quality i.I)lets 8. Multiple systems Since aWMinor Site Development Plan permit is required for eaqh 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 pe1manentwater quality basms, 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 oflhe treatment control BMP's shall comply with the RWQCB's numeric sizing criteria. As required by the RWQCB, the project, depending on the type ofBMP, willuse'one of the followingnumeric sizing criteria: Volunie basedBMP is volume ofrunoffproduced from a 0.6" stmm event. Flow based B:MP is volume of runoff produced from rainfall of 0.2 in.lhr. IV-17 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 90 of 126 Carlsbad Oaks North Specifjc Plan The following pollutant loads are based on a comniercial/officeiindustrial development with 70 to 90% imperviousness (Caiifomia Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbook, Municipal).

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.Hedibhda 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 iinpactto downstream properties due to increased runoff.

In most cases, this fossil salvage can be completed in a short period of time. However, some fossil specimens ( such as a complete large mammal skeleton) may require an extended salvage period. In these instances the paleontologist ( or paleontological monitor) shall be allowed .to temporarily direct, divert, or halt grading to allow recovery of fossil remains in a timely manner. Because of the potential for the recovery of small fossil remains, such as isolated mammal teeth, it may be necessary in certain instances, to set up a screen-Washing operation on the site. ~-;-;-~-;-;-;---:;~~-;:;-----------------------------:-----------------------------------------------------------~-------------------------------------26 C'arlsbadOaks North Specific Plan City of Carlsbad Final Program EIR V-26 August 2002 Item #4 October 4, 2016 Page 120 of 126 2.0 Executive Summary TABLE2-1 SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Significant Impact Mitigation Measure Impact After Mitigation • Fossil remains collected during the monitoring a11d salvage portion of the mitigati<m program shall be cleaned, repaired; sorted, and cataloged . . ,, • .Prepared fossils, along with copies of all pertinent field notes, ph<>tos, and maps, shall either be deposited ( as a donation) in a scientific institution with permanent paleontological collections such as the San Diego Natural History Museum or retained by tbe City and,displayed to the publfo at an appropriate loc.ation such ~s City Hall.

SPECIFIC PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW A. Relationship to Environmental Impact Report 98-08 As required by the CalifomiaEnvironmental 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 hazardo~ materials, hydrology and water quality, cultural resources, paleontological resources, aesthetics, public services and utilities, and population and housing. Through implementation ofthe mitigation measures identified irt Section V .H., Environmental Impacts Mitigation, of this document, development of the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan will not result irt 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 BIR. 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 Envirorunental Impact Report (EIR 98-08) be incorporated into the project or completed as required by each 1111tigation measure, B. Subsequent Environmental Review As detailed planning progresses, it is anticipated that PlaIJ:l!ed Industrial Penni-tsMinor Site Development Plans, Conditional Use Permits, Non-Residential Planned Unit Developments and/or Tentative Maps will be. submitted for City review m 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 Envirorunental Impact Report, then an Initial Study shall be used to determine Whether an additional California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document mu:st be prepared. Potential additional CEQA documents include Negative Declarations, Mitigated Negative Declarations, Project, Supplemental arid. Subsequent EIR.s. Subsequent CEQA documents may be tiered with the original BIR and may incorporate a:nd reference aspects and. elements of the original EIR.
