She also noted that the plan follows state guidelines, however, she stated that she commonly hears that the guidelines regarding densitylacre or intensity around airports is not the current reality. Ms. Shafer-Payne urged the city to incorporate suggestions into the plan. She reaffirmed that development in Carlsbad is compatible with the airport. In response to Council, Ms. Shafer-Payne stated that Redevelopment projects consistent with our current development guidelines would be compatible with the com pati bility plan.

Mr. Rouse noted that the draft plan does not allow the type of development that has gone on in the area surrounding the airport. Mr. Rouse stated that a definition of existing uses in the Airport Land Uses Compatibility draft plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport is needed. Mr. Rouse also asked that the Authority address the compatibility of the use restrictions, specifically the non residential occupancy and density use restrictions in the proposed plan, to conform the numbers, either average acre or per acre, with the yield standards of Carlsbad land use plans. Mr. Rouse indicated that clarification of standards will protect the ability to design office, not just warehouse projects, and provide flexibility in design for future corporate needs.
