A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
P.C. AGENDA OF: December 17, 1997
ItemNo. Q)
Application complete date: July 25, 1997
Project Planner: Brian Hunter
Project Engineer: Clyde Wickham
SUBJECT: SDP 97-08/SUP 97-05 CARLSBAD COMMERCE PARK-Request for a Site
Development Plan and a Special Use Permit to allow development of an industrial
office park on a site located south of Faraday Avenue and East of El Camino Real
within Local Facilities Management Zone 5.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4204
APPROVING the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and ADOPT Planning
Commission Resolutions No. 4205 and 4206 APPROVING Site Development Plan and Special
Use Permit, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The project application is for a Site Development Plan (SDP) and a Special Use Permit (SUP) for
a five building industrial office park. The Site Development Plan is required due to the zoning of
M-Q, while the Special Use Permit is an appropriate application due to the proximity of the El
Camino Real Corridor. All issues have been resolved and staff is recommending approval.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The gently sloping to the east, vacant, fallow agricultural, 25.82 acre site adjacent to El Camino
Real and Faraday Avenue proposes 444,000 square feet of industrial office park development in
five buildings governed by a Site Development Plan and a Special Use Permit. A balanced
58,000 cubic yard grading plan is proposed. 888 parking spaces or 2 per 1,000 square feet of
development will be provided, of which 669 spaces will be standard size and 219 spaces will be
compact. The maximum 35 feet tall buildings range in size from 51,887 to 140,131 square feet.
The architecture, similar to the Carlsbad Research Center, is tilt up concrete and blue-green glass.
26,660 square feet of outdoor park lunch area is provided. 22% of the site is landscaped. A right
tum in/out driveway is proposed along El Camino Real, while two through-driveways are
proposed along Faraday Avenue. No ground lease is proposed, therefore no subdivision is
required.
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
SDP 97-08/SUP 97-05 CA,SBAD COMMERCE PARK
December 17, 1997
Pae 2
A. General Plan PI (Planned Industrial) regulations;
B. M (Industrial) and Q (Qualified Overlay) Zone regulations (Chapter 21.32 and
21.06 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and Parking regulations (Chapter 21.44 of
the Carlsbad Municipal Code;
C. S-P (Scenic Preservation Overlay) regulations (Chapter 21.40 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code and El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards;
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP); and,
E. Growth Management regulations (Local Facilities Management Zone 5)
A. General Plan
The project site is designated for PI (Planned Industrial) uses by the General Plan. The proposed
project consists of five industrial buildings, with office, manufacturing and warehouse uses.
These uses are consistent with those allowed under the PI General Plan designation.
B. M (Industrial) and Q (Qualified Overlay) Zones and Parking regulations
The project site is zoned for M (Industrial) uses and also carries a Q Overlay. The Q overlay
zone states that the Planning Commission may impose special requirements which are more
restrictive than the development standards of the underlying zone and requires approval of a Site
Development Plan for development. The M Zone allows uses as permitted in the commercial
and industrial zones. The M zone has no specific development standards which apply to this
project with the exception of building height (35 foot maximum) and employee eating area
requirements. The maximum height shown on the plans for all buildings is 35 feet. The
employee outdoor eating area requirement is 300 square feet for every 5,000 square feet of
building area or more specifically for this project, 26,640 square feet. The applicant is providing
26,660 square feet of outdoor eating area.
The applicant believes the design reflects an adequate parking count to allow for the full range of
industrial development ( office, manufacturing, and warehouse) while still meeting the
proportionate parking requirement on a cumulative basis. Typically speculative projects are
required to be parked at office standards ( one space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area).
When applicants speculate regarding non-exclusive office development, Planning Department
Administrative Policy No. 14 requires a deed restriction placed on the property indicating that
manufacturing and warehouse standards have been used in the determination of adequacy of
parking. These uses will be retained, and no other uses or combination of uses creating a need
for additional parking will be permitted unless more parking area is provided to meet City
standards.

December 17, 1997
Pa e3
A further discussion of the on site parking is warranted to identify both the opportunities and
constraints that the developer has built into this plan. The project as designed and parked is
unsuitable for either residential or retail commercial uses and is conditioned to delete these
opportunities from the land use mix allowed by the M Zone. The 1 parking space for every 500
square feet of gross floor area precludes either 100% office or manufacturing, so that
warehousing must be employed to a significant effect with any tenant improvement of these shell
buildings. Essentially this parking ratio allows an office/manufacturing/warehouse square
footage ratio of approximately 1/1/2.4 or 100,00 square feet of office, 100,000 square feet of
manufacturing, and the remainder 244,000 square feet as warehousing. Extrapolation of the
City's parking requirements indicates then that well over half of this project is going to be
warehousing and storage. Any development that is proposed in the initial stages that includes
higher ratios of office or manufacturing would require later uses to be developed with even
greater proportional amounts of warehousing.
C. S-P (Scenic Preservation) Overlay Zone and El Camino Real Corridor Development
Standards
The project site is located adjacent to El Camino Real. The area subject to these standards
includes everything within 400' from the right-of-way and consequently only a portion of the site
is subject to the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards. The design theme for this
area is a campus type business center typified by the Carlsbad Research Center. The architecture
and site plan are consistent with the development of the Research Center. No median breaks are
proposed or supported along El Camino Real. A maximum building height of 3 5 feet is allowed
and proposed. The parking area is setback 30' from the right-of-way and screened by shrubbery
which meets the requirements of the standard. One freestanding monument sign is proposed and
allowed, not to exceed 24 square feet in area.
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
The project site is located outside of the Runway Protection Zone and the Flight Activity Area.
It is one of the purposes of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to preclude incompatible
development from intruding into areas of significant risk resulting from aircraft takeoff and
landing patterns. As no intrusion exists, there is no significant risk resulting from this
development due to the presence of the airport.
E. Growth Management Local Facilities Zone 5 Regulations
The project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 5. Please review the attached
Local Facilities Impact Assessment Form which indicates that all impacts to the performance
standards are mitigated. The Zone 5 plan requires a $.40 / square foot park impact fee which
would translate to a $177,600.00 fee for a 444,000 square foot project.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The general scope of this project was analyzed in MEIR 93-01 for which a Statement of
SDP 97-08/SUP 97-05 cisBAD COMMERCE PARK
December 17, 1997
Page4
Overriding Consideration was adopted relative to cumulative regional impacts to circulation and
air quality. The mitigation measures associated with those topics that have been incorporated
into the project include: the extension of sidewalks throughout and around the project to allow
for safe and easy pedestrian linkages; the minimization of the number of vehicle access points to
arterials to enhance their functioning; use of standard street designs; the provision of adequate
traffic control devices; a deed restriction to ensure adequate parking and comprehensive design.
The traffic assumptions within the MEIR were analyzed by a current traffic report for this site
and it was determined that the project's impact is less than that projected by the MEIR. In
addition, it has been determined that the impacts peculiar to this project will not result in any
significant environmental impacts and therefore a Negative Declaration was issued by the
Planning Director on October 28, 1997.
