HomeMy WebLinkAbout2019-06-25; City Council; ; A Specific Plan for the Carlsbad Raceway Business Park and a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an electric vehicle dealership with electric vehicle repair atCarlsbad Raceway Specific Plan
The proposed Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan covers approximately 135 acres and includes all
28 lots that were previously subdivided by Carlsbad Tract Map CT 98-10-Carlsbad Raceway
Business Park. The lots are located on the north and south side of Lionshead Avenue, from
Melrose Drive to the eastern city boundary, with two lots located on the west side of Melrose
Drive. Most of the area has been developed with industrial buildings, except for four vacant lots
on the south side of Lionshead Avenue, between Melrose Drive and Eagle Drive (Exhibit 3).
The proposed Specific Plan area is currently designated by the General Plan for Planned
Industrial (Pl) and Open Space (OS) land uses and is proposed to be divided into three planning
areas. No change is proposed to the existing land use designations. The proposed land uses in
Planning Area 1 are the permitted and conditionally permitted uses allowed by the Planned
Industrial (P-M) Zone. In addition, Electric Vehicle Dealerships are proposed as a conditionally-
permitted use within Planning Area 1 only, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit
by the Planning Commission. The proposed land uses in Planning Area 2/2A are the permitted
and conditionally permitted uses allowed by the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone. The lots within
Planning Area 3 all have a General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Designation of Open
Space (OS) and all proposed land uses shall be consistent with the Open Space Zone.
Tesla -Sales and Service Center
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2018-0017) has been submitted to allow an electric vehicle
dealership within an approximately 54,000-square-foot existing industrial building at 3248
Lionshead Avenue (Exhibit 4). The property is located within Planning Area 1 of the proposed
Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan. The majority of the building's square footage (approximately
35,000 square feet) is dedicated to electric vehicle repair. The remaining space consists of a
vehicle sales showroom, office area, warehouse and employee break areas.
Auto repair is a conditionally-permitted use within the P-M Zone and is subject to a Minor
Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Planner. A Minor CUP (CUP 2018-0007) was
approved for auto repair on this site on June 12, 2018. However, as of May 3, 2019, building
permits for a tenant improvement have been approved but not issued and, therefore, the
building remains vacant. This CUP incorporates auto repair with electric vehicle sales and if
approved will supersede CUP 2018-0007.
General Plan Consistency
As further detailed in the Planning Commission Staff Report dated April 17, 2019 and in
Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 7319 and 7320, the proposed Specific Plan and
Conditional Use Permit are consistent with the city's General Plan goals and policies. This
includes implementing the existing General Plan Land Uses and encouraging emerging
technology for transportation. The project also assists the city's strategy to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions with the allowance for electric vehicle dealerships.
Planning Commission Hearing:
The Planning Commission considered the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan/ Tesla -Sales and
Service Center project on April 17, 2019.
June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 2 of 62
At the Planning Commission hearing, the Planning Commission heard the staff presentation and
asked clarifying questions related to the type of vehicles that could be sold in Planning Area 1
and if any comments were received by stakeholders in Car Country Carlsbad . Staff clarified that
only electric vehicles could be sold within Planning Area 1 of the proposed Specific Plan and
that no comments were received from other vehicle dealerships. The project applicant further
clarified Planning Commission questions regarding on-site electric vehicle chargers, the
rationale for this Carlsbad location and the future of their repair facility in the City of
Oceanside. No members of the public spoke on the item. The location of the electric vehicle
dealership within the proposed Specific Plan was positively received by the Planning
Commission and minimal discussion took place. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the project to the City Council (6-0, Commissioner Meenes absent). Per the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, the City Council is the final decision-making body for all new Specific
Plans (SP 2018-0001) and any other development permits processed concurrently with the
Specific Plan (CUP 2018-0017).
Fiscal Analysis
If approved, all required improvements to serve this project will be funded and/or constructed
by the developer.
Next Steps
The City Council's action on this item is final.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan
The City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA,
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) and City of
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 19.04.070(A)(1)(c), minor municipal code amendments that do
not involve physical modifications or lead to physical improvements beyond those typically
exempt.
Tesla -Sales and Service Center
The City Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301, "Existing Facilities," of the State
CEQA Guidelines as the sales and service center involves a negligible expansion of use and will
not have any adverse significant impact on the environment. A Notice of Exemption shall be
filed with the County Clerk upon approval of this project.
Public Notification and Outreach
The applicant mailed an early public notice to all property owners within the proposed Carlsbad
Raceway Specific Plan area, as well as to all property owners within 600 feet of the proposed
Specific Plan boundary on May 5, 2018. On August 29, 2018, the applicant mailed a notice to
the same group of property owners inviting them to an informational meeting at the project
site. On September 11, 2018, an informational meeting was held with two interested property
owners in attendance. The applicant gave an overview of the proposed project and answered
questions. The applicant answered several questions regarding parking/traffic impacts and how
June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 3 of 62
the customer would view vehicles, order, and come back on a later date to pick up their vehicle,
unlike traditional car lots. The early public notice and the informational meeting described
above satisfy the requirements of City Council Policy No. 84. Information regarding public
notification of this item such as mailings, public hearing notices posted in the newspaper and
on the city website are available in the Office of the City Clerk.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. PURPOSEANDSCOPE
The purpose of the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan (CRSP) is to address the need
for a full mix of office, manufacturing and warehouse uses, in addition to the
provision of electric vehicle sales within Carlsbad, to serve both residents and the
daily workforce. In doing so, the plan aims to achieve an objective of the City of
Carlsbad's General Plan by reflecting the cultural values of the community. Some
important values are maintaining a jobs-housing balance and a healthy lifestyle
including alternative energy vehicle sales, for those who live and work in the City of
Carlsbad. ,
CRSP only seeks to define the allowable type of land uses and does not provide
development standards or design standards above and beyond those of the Planned
Industrial Zone; the plan does include several implementation measures that future
projects will need to comply with in addition to those of the base zone. The CRSP
is adopted pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Sections 65450 et. seq.
and the Land Use Element of the City of Carlsbad General Plan.
B. LOCATION AND PLANNING AREA INFORMATION
The Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan area is located on Lionshead Avenue, north of
Palomar Road and between Melrose Drive and Business Park Drive. There are also
two lots located on the west side of Melrose Drive opposite of Lionshead Avenue.
Direct access to the properties is from Lionshead Avenue. The 135.06 acre area is
located entirely within the boundary of Local Facilities Management Zone 18. The
plan area is described as non-residential Lots 1 through 28 of Carlsbad Tract 98-10,
in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to map
thereof No. 15013, filed in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County on
October 12, 2004. Area 1 consists of 9 lots and Area 2/2A consists of 16 lots. Both
areas have a Planned Industrial (P-M) zone designation and are separated by an
open space easement. Area 3 consists of 3 lots and has an Open Space (O-S) zone
designation. The specific plan area also includes acreage (approximately 11.91
acres) for the existing public street system. The size of the lots of the CRSP are
listed below:

June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 10 of 62
Additionally, the plan area is located within the McClellan-Palomar Airport Influence
Area. A portion of the plan area, Lot 25 and open space lots 26 and 27, are located
in Flight Activity Area 1, but the remaining plan area is outside the Flight Activity
Zone. Also, Lot 25 and open space lots 26 and 27 are located within the 60 -65
dBA CNEL noise contours. Uses within these areas shall be compatible to with the
60 -65 contour standards. The entire Specific Plan Area is outside the limits of the
six Safety Zones as shown in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport, amended December 1, 2011.
C. HISTORY
The subject specific plan area was subdivided and graded into three open space lots
and 25 planned industrial lots under CT 98-10 in 2004. Lots 1 through 25 are zoned
Planned Industrial (P-M) for industrial/office use; and Lots 26-28 are zoned Open
Space (OS).
Previous approvals for the CRSP area include: GPA 98-05/LFMP 87-18(8)/ZC 01-
07/CT 98-10/HDP 98-09/PIP 01-01.
D. REGULATORY SPECIFIC PLAN
The CRSP is a regulatory document that only manages land uses. It is not a policy
document, and does not introduce any new policy objectives. The plan provides for a
mix of office uses along with industrial and certain commercial uses and the specific
allowance for electric vehicle dealership uses within Planning Area 1.

E. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN AND PLANS OF OTHER
JURISDICTIONS
Lots 1-25 of the plan area are designated in the City of Carlsbad's General Plan as
Planned Industrial (Pl). The Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan is consistent with
various elements of the Carlsbad General Plan. The following summary outlines two
of the major General Plan goals applicable to the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan.
1. Land Use and Community Design Element
Land Use Goal 2-G.1
2-G.1 Maintain a land use program with amount, design and arrangement of
varied uses that serve to protect and enhance the character and image of the
city as expressed in the Carlsbad Community Vision, and balance
development with preservation and enhancement of open space.
The CRSP implements the prior industrial subdivision of CT 98-10 by
providing for industrial office land uses_ in the eastern edge of the city that also
preserves open space habitat. The CSRP is near to the residential
component of the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan while not creating any land
use cc;:mflicts due to the separation provided by Palomar Airport Road and the
Palomar Forum Office/Industrial Development.
Land Use Goal 2-G.8
2-G.8 Provide opportunities for continued economic growth and vitality that
enhance Carlsbad's position as a premier regional employment center.
The continued build out of the CRSP will satisfy this Goal by providing the
development of industrial office uses to serve as an employment base for
both the community and the region; in addition, the specific allowance for
electric vehicle sales in close proximity to housing and employment areas will
conveniently serve both residents and persons employed locally.
Industrial and Office Policy 2-P.27
2-P.27 Limit general industrial development within the community to those
areas and uses with adequate transportation access. These areas should be
compatible with surrounding land uses including residential neighborhoods.
The CRSP has adequate transportation access via the Melrose Avenue and
Palomar Airport Road systems along with Lionshead Avenue and Eagle
7
June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 15 of 62
Drive. In addition, there is compatibility with the adjacent and nearby industrial
office land uses of the city of Vista and no impacts to residential areas.
2. Mobility Element
Street Design and Connectivity Policy 3-P.18
3-P. 18 Encourage and seek partnerships to foster innovations in emerging
technology for transportation mobility to support the city's workforce,
residents, and tourists. Integration between communication technology,
energy, and transportation mobility should be encouraged.
The CRSP directly implements this policy by providing the allowance for
electric vehicle dealerships in this specific plan in the context of a specifically
allowed land use in the P-M zone, which represents emerging energy
technology.
City of Vista -Adjacent Jurisdiction
Located on the eastern edge of the city of Carlsbad, the adjacency and proximity
of the city of Vista represents an opportunity for land use compatibility given the
similar land uses in the area. The adjacent street systems at the border of the
two cities serve a Target retail store and various similar industrial office land uses
with no impacts to residential neighborhoods.

June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 16 of 62
II. LAND USES
The Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan allows the permitted and conditionally
permitted land uses of the underlying P-M zone and also introduces the new allowed
land use-of electric vehicle dealership while maintaining the existing lots designated
as Open Space.
A. DEFINITIONS
"Electric Vehicle Dealership" means an automobile sales agency that only sells
and/or distributes fully-electric vehicles on-site.
1. Fully-electric vehicles are limited to those whose in-vehicle power
source is completely reliant on recharging via connection/plug-in to
some electrical source.
2. Petroleum-electric hybrid vehicles and/or vehicles that employ
hydrogen for motive power are not considered fully-electric vehicles.
An Electric Vehicle Dealership may act as a stand-alone sales or distribution
center for fully-electric vehicles, and/or in conjunction with a service/repair station
exclusively dedicated to fully-electric vehicles. No manufacturing of fully-electric
vehicles shall take place on-site. The sale or lease of used fully-electric vehicles
will only be permitted in conjunction with the sale of new fully-electric vehicles on
the same site.
B. PERMITTED USES
This section outlines the allowed land uses in Areas 1, 2/2A and 3 of the specific
plan (development standards are listed in Section C). All development in the P-
M Zone of Areas 1 and 2/2A shall comply with the underlying P-M zoning district
(Chapter 21.34 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) and Section C of this Specific
Plan.
9
June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 17 of 62
AREA 1
Allowed land uses shall be consistent with those of the Planned Industrial, P-M
Zone, Chapter 21.34 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
In addition, the following land use is allowed within this Area with approval of a
Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission:
• Fully-Electric Vehicle Dealerships.
AREA 2 / 2A
Allowed land uses shall be consistent with those of the Planned Industrial, P-M
Zone, Chapter 21.34 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
AREA3
Allowed land uses shall be consistent with those of the Open Space, O-S Zone,
Chapter 21.33 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Area 3 is a hard lined
designated area under the city of Carlsbad's Habitat Management Plan (HMP).
The HMP provides strict standards for the conservation of this habitat corridor.
This Specific Plan recognizes the authority of the HMP and proposes no changes
to this plan. Also, there are a number of existing utility lines and easements that
traverse this open space corridor and no changes are proposed to these utilities.
C. LAND USE STANDARDS AND DESIGN REGULATIONS
Unless otherwise stated herein, the development standards of the underlying P-M
and OS Zones and other associated, applicable local regulations (e.g., subdivision,
etc.) shall apply.
1. All sides of the building facade should receive equal design attention. A
building's exterior finish materials should include a generous amount of
glass; smooth texture finishes such as plaster, pre-finished metal or
concrete, stone or masonry. Masonry may be utilized as a contrasting or
complementary material to other hard surface materials such as glass or
metal panels that may be used on the building. Masonry materials may
include brick, stone, tile, or architectural concrete block (such as
burnished, split face or ribbed block). The materials selected should be
10
June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 18 of 62
consistent quality architecture consistent with the existing buildings in the
specific plan.
2. As the buildings may be viewed from above, a neat and clean roof
appearance is important. Any roof mounted equipment shall be
screened and architecturally integrated with the building elements ..
3. Development of each lot should offer pedestrian-oriented site amenities.
Pedestrian walkways, plazas and outdoor seating/eating areas, with shade
structures, are encouraged throughout the site. Pedestrian and vehicular
access to the lots, once off Lionshead Avenue, should afford a variety of, and
continuously changing, view corridors to the new buildings. Trees and other
shading elements should provide cover for the parking area as well as the
pedestrian access to the building.
4. On-site enclosures such as for trash/recycling, mechanical equipment, or
above-grade parking structures should blend into the site environment and be
designed in a manner that is architecturally compatible with the primary
building in exterior finishes.
5. Undeveloped areas/slopes shall be planted and maintained in a clean, neat
and orderly manner.
6. Within Area 1, Electric Vehicle Dealerships shall adhere to the following
additional development standards:
a. All repair and service activities shall primarily occur inside the
primary building(s) onsite and comply with CMC Section
21.42.140.B.17.
b. The parking lot outside of the building perimeter should be kept
clean and free of tools, service equipment and maintain the

5. In the case of institutional, recreational, and other similar nonresidential uses, such development
will be proposed, and surrounding areas are protected from any adverse effects from such
development in that the Specific Plan guides development and provides for the design,
development, and operation of an industrial park, but continues to allow all permitted and
conditionally-permitted uses of the existing P-M Zone in addition to allowing electric vehicle
dealerships as a conditionally-permitted use subject to the development standards of the P-M
zone, the Specific Plan, and any conditions of approval.
6. The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry the anticipated traffic
thereon in that the Specific Plan area will not generate any significant increase in average daily
trips, and the existing roadways (Lionshead Avenue, Eagle Drive, and Melrose Avenue) are fully
improved and capable of handling all proposed vehicle trips.
7. Any proposed commercial development can be justified economically at the location proposed
and will provide adequate commercial facilities of the types needed at such location proposed.
8. The area surrounding the development is or can be planned and zoned in coordination and
substantial compatibility with the development in that all lots within the Specific Plan area have
been previously graded and/or developed with industrial buildings with the exception of the

graded pads for future .industrial development, or open space, which are consistent with the
existing and proposed land uses within the proposed Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan area.
9. The proposed plan will contribute to the balance of land use so that local residents may work and
shop in the community in which they live in that the Specific Plan area continues to allow uses
that serve as an employment base for both the community and region, and allowing electric
vehicle dealerships in close proximity to housing and employment areas ·will conveniently serve
both residents and persons employed locally.

settings to meet shopping, recreation and service needs of residents and visitors. The proposed
electric vehicle dealership provides electric vehicle sales and service to surrounding residents
and employees of the region, within an existing industrial park. Additionally, General Plan
Mobility Policy 3-P.18 encourages emerging technology for transportation to support the city's
workforce, residents and tourists. The Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan directly implements this
policy by providing the allowance for electric vehicle dealerships, which represent emerging
energy technology in the sales and service of fully-electric vehicles.
2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the
zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone and
the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan allow for office uses, manufacturing, research and
development and other conditionally-permitted uses, including electric vehicles sales and auto
repair within Planning Area 1. The proposed electric vehicle dealership is consistent with other
types and intensity of uses allowed in the P-M zone and Specific Plan area. The electric vehicle
sales and repair will operate inside an existing building which screens the use from adjacent
properties and helps to minimize noise. The use is subject to the performance standards listed
in the Specific Plan and Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections 21.34.090 and 21.42.140.8.17 which
address noise, odors, vibration, air quality and outdoor storage. Furthermore, the project has
been conditioned to comply with the requirements of the noise study (Charles M. Salter
Associates Inc., dated May 25, 2018) for the auto repair portion of the project.
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning
commission or City Council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in
that the electric vehicle dealership will occupy an approximately 54,000-square-foot building
with existing onsite landscaping and parking and requires no site alterations or additional
amenities. Furthermore, the project complies with all required development standards of the
P-M Zone and design guidelines of the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan. No exterior changes that
would affect the existing building's architecture quality, materials, and massing will occur. The
existing building is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed electric vehicle
dealership, as shown on Exhibits "A" -"H." The electric vehicle dealership requires 59 parking
spaces per the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the property has 136 parking spaces. Therefore,
the proposed use meets all parking requirements with a surplus of 77 parking spaces.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the project is provided access from Lionshead Avenue,
an industrial street, which is accessed from Melrose Drive and Eagle Drive and is currently
operating at an acceptable level of service. The 372 average daily trips associated with the
electric vehicle dealership can be accommodated by the existing street system.
Conditions:
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to building permit
issuance or occupancy, whichever occurs first.

The proposed land uses in Planning Area 1 are the permitted and conditionally permitted uses allowed by
the Planned Industrial (P-M} Zone. In addition, Electric Vehicle Dealerships are proposed as a
conditionally-permitted use within Planning Area 1 only, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit by the Planning Commission.
The proposed land uses in Planning Area 2/2A are the permitted and conditionally permitted uses allowed
by the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone. No additional land uses are proposed to be added or excluded from
this area.
The lots within Planning Area 3 all have a General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Designation of
Open Space (OS). The proposed land uses shall be consistent with the Open Space Zone. Furthermore,
the majority of Planning Area 3 is designated as Habitat Management Plan (HMP) hard line area. The
proposed Specific Plan does not propose any changes to this area and will remain subject to the
requirements of the HMP.
The Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan defines electric vehicle dealerships as an automobile sales agency that
only sells and/or distributes fully-electric vehicles on-site. An electric vehicle dealership may act as a
stand-alone sales or distribution center for fully-electric vehicles, and/or in conjunction with a
service/repair station. The sale or lease of new fully-electric vehicles will only be permitted in conjunction
with the sale of new fully-electric vehicles on the same site.
Table 1 below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the proposed
Specific Plan area and surrounding properties.

A Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2018-0017) has been submitted to allow an electric vehicle dealership
within an approximately 54,000-square-foot existing industrial building at 3248 Lionshead Avenue. The
property is located within Planning Area 1 of the proposed Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan.
The electric vehicle sales showroom and office area totals approximately 5,500 square feet. The majority
of the buifding's square footage (approximately 35,000 square feet) is dedicated to electric vehicle repair.
The remaining space consists of warehouse and employee break areas.
The sales area will function primarily to showcase the electric vehicles, display sample finishes and trims,
and provide an interactive learning environment where customers can design and customize a vehicle.
Once ordered, the custom vehicle is produced off-site and delivered to this Carlsbad location. An
appointment is then .made so that the buyer will arrive on site to receive the vehicle.

The vehicle service will mainly be based on appointments, although walk-ins will be accepted based on
availability. The service entrance is located on the west side of the building through an existing roll-up
door. It is anticipated that most service appointments will be handled in under an hour. In this case,
customers typically make use of the customer lounge which has amenities such as snacks, beverages, and
television. For longer repairs, customers may choose to wait, or leave off-site and pick up the vehicle when
the repair has been completed. No oil, gasoline, or other hazardous substances traditionally part of
internal combustion vehicle repairs will be found at the service center.
Auto repair is a conditionally-permitted use within the P-M Zone and is subject to a Minor Conditional Use
Permit approved by the City Planner. A Minor CUP (CUP 2018-0007) was approved for auto repair on this
site on June 12, 2018. However, as of March 21, 2019, building permits for a tenant improvement have
not been issued and, therefore, the building remains vacant. The existing vacant building was developed
following approval of Minor Site Development Plan SDP 16-02. This CUP incorporates auto repair with
electric vehicle sales and will supersede CUP 2018-0007.
The electric vehicle dealership is subject to the development and performance standards listed in the P-
M Zone and the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan. These standards include but are not limited to noise,
odor, trash, outdoor equipment, sound/paging systems and loading/unloading.

intended to provide and protect industrial lands primarily for corporate office, research and development,
and manufacturing uses. Certain commercial uses are also permitted. The Open Space designation
includes natural resource areas, areas for the production of resources, and recreation and aesthetic areas.
The majority of the open space area within the· proposed Specific Plan boundary is dedicated to natural
open space, trails, and major electric power transmission lines. A small amount is developed as a passive
park area for the public and employees of the surrounding area. No change is proposed to the existing
land use designations and the proposed allowed land uses remain consistent with their corresponding

B. Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan (SP 2018-0001)
California Government Code Section 65451 governs the content of specific plans. The proposed Carlsbad
Raceway Specific Plan contains all information required by state law. The plan consists of both text and
diagrams which specify the following: 1) the distribution, location and extent of land uses, including open
space, within the area covered by the plan; 2) the distribution, location, extent, and intensity of any
proposed infrastructure; 3) standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for
the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources where applicable; 4) implementation
measures including public works and financing projects as necessary to carry out the plan; and 5) a
statement of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan.
The primary purpose of the Specific Plan is to clearly define permitted land uses within certain planning
areas. The Specific Plan requires project compliance with the development standards of the P-M Zone and
June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 42 of 62
SP 2018-0001 / CUP 2018-0017 -Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan/ Tesla -Sales and Service Center

Pa e8
provides general site and architectural design guidelines. In summary, the Specific Plan provides for the
design, development, and operation of an industrial park, with the allowance of electric vehicle
dealerships on nine of the 25 lots currently zoned P-M. As indicated in the General Plan Compliance Table
3 above, the project complies with the goals, objectives, and policies of the various elements in the
General Plan. All projects within the Specific Plan area have been or will be conditioned to implement
required infrastructure improvements consistent with the Zone 18 Local Facilities Management Plan
(LFMP).
The development of a Specific Plan requires Native American tribal consultation under Senate Bill (SB) 18
(Government Code§ 65352.3). SB 18 consultation shall be initiated and concluded prior to the City Council
taking action on this project. A notice to the appropriate tribes was mailed on January 8, 2019. One tribe,
San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians (SLR), requested consultation on the project. After consulting with
SLR, it was determined that there are no issues of concern given that the Specific Plan does not authorize
any ground disturbing activities and the existing open space will remain as it is today.
C. Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone and Open Space (OS) Zone (CMC Chapters 21.34 and 21.33)
The Specific Plan does not propose to change the existing Planned Industrial (P-M) zoning or Open Space
(OS) zoning on any of the lots. In addition to the standards of the Specific Plan, the P-M-zoned lots will
remain subject to the development and performance standards in accordance with Chapter 21.34 of the
Ca rlsbad Municipal Code (CMC). The OS-zoned lots will remain subject to the standards in CMC Chapter
21.33 and the Carlsbad HMP. Since the Specific Plan is more restrictive than the P-M and OS zones, the
Specific Plan becomes the official zoning for all properties within the proposed Carlsbad Raceway Specific
Plan area.
The P-M Zone requires approval of a Minor Site Development Plan (SDP) for all development. However,
the electric vehicle dealership is proposed within an existing building on a developed site which was
previously approved by SDP 16-02. No major changes are proposed to the existing building footprint,
elevations, or site plan that were approved by SDP 16-02. Therefore, th!= proposed project does not
require a Minor SDP. The electric vehicle dealership meets or exceeds the requirements of the P-M Zone
and the proposed Specific Plan as outlined in Table "4" below.

D. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (CMC Chapter 21.42)
The proposed electric vehicle dealership (CUP 2018-0017} includes electric vehicle sales and electric
vehicle repair. Electric vehicle dealerships are an allowed use in the proposed Carlsbad Raceway Specific
Plan (~P 2018-0001} subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Auto
repair is an allowed use in the Planned Industrial (P-M} Zone subject to the approval of a Minor Conditional
Use Permit by the City Planner. However, the City Council is the final decision maker on all concurrently

Pa e 10
processed development permits that include a permit that requires a decision from the City Council (SP
2018-0001). CMC Chapter 21.42 requires that four findings be made to approve a conditional use permit.
All findings can be made for this project as discussed below:
1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in
harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including the· Carlsbad
Raceway Specific Plan, in that the project site has a Planned Industrial (Pl) General Plan Land
Use Designation and the Specific Plan allows for electric vehicle sales and auto repair as
conditionally-permitted uses within Planning Area 1. General Plan Land Use Goals 2-G.8 and 2-
G.9 call for continued economic growth and vitality to enhance the city's position as a regional
employment center and to accommodate a diversity of businesses in appropriately-scaled
settings to meet shopping, recreation and service needs of residents and visitors. The proposed
electric vehicle dealership provides electric vehicle sales and service to surrounding residents
and employees of the region, within an existing industrial park. Additionally, General Plan
Mobility Policy 3-P.18 encourages emerging technology for transportation to support the city's
workforce, residents and tourists. The Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan directly implements this
policy by providing the allowance for electric vehicle dealerships, which represent emerging
energy technology in the sales and service of fully-electric vehicles.
2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the
zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone and
the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan -allow for office uses, manufacturing, research and
development and other conditionally-permitted uses, including electric vehicles sales and auto
repair within Planning Area 1. The proposed electric vehicle dealership is consistent with other
types and intensity of uses allowed in the P-M zone and Specific Plan area. The electric vehicle
sales and repair will operate inside an existing building which screens the use from adjacent
properties and helps to minimize noise. The use is subject to the performance standards listed
in the Specific Plan and Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections 21.34.090 and 21.42.140.B.17 which
address noise, odors, vibration, air quality and outdoor storage. Furthermore, the project has
been conditioned to comply with the requirements of the noise study (Charles M. Salter
Associates Inc., dated May 25, 2018) for the auto repair portion of the project.
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning
commission or City Council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in
that the electric vehicle dealership will occupy an approximately 54,000-square-foot building
with existing onsite landscaping and parking and requires no site alterations or additional
amenities. Furthermore, the project will occur within an existing building and developed site
that complies with all required development standards of the P-M Zone and design guidelines
of the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan. No exterior changes that would affect the existing
building's architecture quality, materials, and massing will occur. The existing building is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed electric vehicle dealership, as shown
on Exhibits "A" -"H." The electric vehicle dealership requires 59 parking spaces per the Carlsbad
Municipal Code and the property has 136 parking spaces. Therefore, the proposed use meets
all parking requirements with a surplus of 77 parking spaces.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the project is provided access from Lionshead Avenue,
June 25, 2019 Item #11 Page 45 of 62

an industrial street, which is accessed from Melrose Drive and Eagle Drive and is currently
operating at an acceptable level of service. The 372 average daily trips associated with the
electric vehicle dealership can be accommodated by the existing street system.
E. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP)
The proposed project falls within the boundaries of the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan (ALUCP)-Airport Influence Review Areas 1 and 2. The proposed Specific Plan is not subject to review
by the Airport Land Use Commission since the project does not create noise of safety concerns within
Review Area 1 and the project does not create hazards subject to Part 77 review. A p,ortion of the plan
area, Lot 25 and open space lots 26 and 27, are located in Area 1. Also, Lot 25 and open space lots 26 and
27 are located within the 60 -65 dBA CNEL noise contours. Industrial, manufacturing, research and
development, and auto sales and repair are compatible with the 60 -65 dBA contour standards. The
majority of the project area is within Airport Influence Review Area 2. Limits on the heights of structures,
particularly in areas of high terrain, are the only restrictions on land uses within Review Area 2. All existing
structures have been reviewed for compliance with the ALUCP and all future buildings will be evaluated
for compliance. The proposed electric vehicle dealership is located within an exist ing building and is a
compatible use within Airport Influence Review Area 2. The recordation of overflight notification
documents has already occurred in conjunction with the Carlsbad Raceway Business Park subdivision,
although the current ALUCP only requires such notification for new residential development.
F. Growth Management Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.90 and LFMP Zone 18)
The proposed project is subject to the provisions of the Growth Management Program, as contained in
CMC Chapter 21.90 and in the approved Zone 18 LFMP. The addition of electric vehicle dealerships to a
portion of the proposed Specific Plan area will have minimal impacts on public facilities since the use has
facility demands and impacts comparable to the office, manufacturing, warehousing, and limited
commercial uses currently allowed by the P-M Zone in this area . Therefore, the proposed project's public
facility demand is consistent with the assumptions of the Zone 18 LFMP. All future proposed projects will
be conditioned to pay the appropriate public facilities fee, water and sewer connection fees, traffic
impact, park, and school fees to mitigate impacts on these respective facilities.
The impacts on public facilities created by the electric vehicle dealership, and its compliance with the
adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table "F" below.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan
The City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA, pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(8)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) and City of Carlsbad Municipal Code
Chapter 19.04.070(A)(l)(c), minor municipal code amendments that do not involve physical modifications
or lead to physical improvements beyond those typically exempt.
Tesla -Sales and Service Center
The City Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301, "Existing Facilities," of the State CEQA Guidelines as
the sales and service center involves a negligible expansion of use and will not have any adverse significant
impact on the environment. A Notice of Exemption shall be filed with the County Clerk upon approval of
this project.
V. DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT POLICY
The proposed project is subject to the Early Public Notice and the Enhanced Stakeholder Outreach
processes outlined in City Council Policy No. 84 -Development Project Public Involvement Policy. The
policy requires applicants of certain development projects to provide an opportunity for, and consider,
input from interested and affected stakeholders prior to project consideration by city decision makers.
The applicant mailed an early public notice to all property owners within the proposed Carlsbad Raceway
Specific Plan area, as well as to all property owners within 600 feet of the proposed Specific Plan boundary
on May 5, 2018. On August 29, 2018, the applicant mailed a notice to the same group of property owners
inviting them to an informational meeting at the project site. On September 11, 2018, an informational
meeting was held with two interested property owners in attendance. The applicant gave an overview of
the proposed project and answered questions. The applicant answered several questions regarding
parking/traffic impacts and how the customer would view vehicles, order, and come back on a later date
to pick up; unlike traditional car lots. The early public notice and the informational meeting described
above satisfy the requirements of City Council Policy No. 84.

Re: Responses to Questions From the June 24 City Council Briefings
Agenda Item No. 2 -Establish Fiscal Year 2019-20 Special Taxes for Community Facilities
District No. 1
Question 1: Please provide a map of the district.
Answer: Please see attached map of the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 1 (Attachment
1). The yellow shaded properties are those properties included within CFD No. 1 at the time of
CFO No. l's formation. The purple shaded properties are those undeveloped properties which
are required to annex into CFO No. 1 when they develop (many of which have been annexed
and developed).
Question 2: What was the proportion of residential to Commercial/Industrial?
Answer: Pursuant to the rate and method of apportionment of special tax approved when CFD
No. 1 was formed, capital costs "shall be allocated 65% to residential property and 35% to
commercial/industrial property." This proration "was based on a projection of land uses and
the development fee to be paid."
Question 3: When was the last time tax rates increased for both residential and
commercial/industrial?
Answer: The residential percentage of maximum special tax levy was last increased in fiscal
year 2011-12 when it went from 50% to 55%. The commercial/industrial percentage of
maximum special tax levy was last increased in fiscal year 1998-99 when it went from 70% to
100%. Since then, the commercial/industrial percentage of maximum special tax levy has slowiy
been decreasing with the last change taking place during fiscal year 2016-17 (decreased from
25% to 10%).

Agenda Item No. 8 -Lease Agreement with MAAC Project
Question 1: Do we have energy star scores for our city buildings, whether leased out or used
internally?
Answer: The most recent and comprehensive evaluation of city facility/building energy use was
SANDAG's Energy Roadmap, which used Energy Star Portfolio Manager. The roadmap was
accepted by City Council on April 14, 2015 (Resolution No. 2015-091).
Currently the only building we have benchmarked and are tracking in the Energy Star Program
is the Faraday Center building. The current "score" for the Faraday Center building is 57. This
indicates the building is performing better than 50% of its peers. A score of 75 or higher is
required to be eligible for Energy Star certification. The city has made application to include
Safety Training Center, Farmers and Dove Library (facilities greater than 50,000 square feet)
and anticipate having them completed within the next month.
Agenda Item No. 11-carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan/Tesla -Sales and Service Center
Question 1: Where will test-driving occur?
Answer: Page 12 of the Carlsbad Raceway Specific Plan, Section C. 6. F. includes the-following
requirement: Electric Vehicle Dealerships shall provide to all sales and service employees a
map which designates areas for test driving. This map shall note that test driving in residential
areas shall be strictly prohibited. This map shall be approved by the Transportation Director
and City Planner prior to issuance of building permits.

to consider approving a Specific Plan for the Carlsbad Raceway Business Park and a
Conditional Use Permit to allow an electric vehicle dealership with electric vehicle re-
pair at 3248 Lionshead Avenue within Local Facilities Management Zone 18, and more
particularly described as:
Lots 1 -28 of Carlsbad Tract CT 98-10, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San

Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, May 3, 2005
Lot 16 of Carlsbad Tract CT 98-10, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San
Diego, State of California, according to Map Thereof No. 15013, filed in the
Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County; May 3, 2005
Whereas, on April 17, 2019 the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission voted 6-0-1 to
Approve of a Specific Plan for the Carlsbad Raceway Business Park and a Conditional
Use Permit to allow an electric vehicle dealership with electric vehicle repair at 3248

determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for

fore exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pur-
suant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(B)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), Section
15301 (Existing Facilities), and City of Carlsbad MunicipaI Code Chapter 19.04.070(A)
(l)(c), minor municipal code amendments.
Those persons wishing to speak on this proposal are cordially invited to attend the pub-
lic hearing. Copies of the staff report will be available on and after Thursday, June 20,
2019. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Garcia in the Planning Division at

ditional Use Permit in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or

spondence delivered to the City of Carlsbad, Attn: City Clerk's Office, 1200 Carlsbad
