In response to Council, the previous and proposed McClellan-Palomar Airport maps
were discussed by Mr. Brody and Mike Grim, Senior Planner. Ms. Shafer-Payne
explained that there may be differences in the proposed plan and the needs of the
region. She noted that the many areas of development around the airport are
compatible with the plan. 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.

Airports Maps and tables are used in reference to Carlsbad.

be required for the McClellan-Palomar Airport nor will an economic analysis be

around the airport.

concerns to the Authority.

Ron Rouse,l1988 El Camino Real, stated he is Legal Council for Ciris-Regis, owners of
the Bressi Ranch industrial portion; TechBilt, owners of Carlsbad Oaks North and two
lots of Carlsbad Oaks East. Mr. Rouse noted that each of these projects, because of
their locale, is affected by the proposed plan.
Mr. Rouse noted that he is encouraged by the dialog with Airport Land Use staff as to
the compatibility of the City’s 20-year Master Plan build out of the industrial corridor.
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. Mr. Rouse asked that the proposed plan conforms with the “on the
gound” reality.
Ms. Shafer-Payne stated that all of tonight’s comments will be submitted to the
Authority.
