II. INTRODUCTION
The applicant, National University, is requesting authorization to operate a branch of National
University in an existing building located at 705 Palomar Airport Road. The subject site is
zoned ·'Industrial". Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, in an Industrial Zone, a Conditional Use
Permit is required to operate a public or private school. Since the site is also located within the
boundaries of the Local Coastal Program, a Coastal Development Permit is also required for the
operation of the said University. The subject building ,vas originally approved by the Planning
Commission as Carlsbad Pacific Center Phase III, under SDP 98-23/CDP 98-89.
National University is a non-profit accredited institute of higher education ,vith facilities
throughout California, offering both undergraduate and graduate program opportunities to a
diverse population of adult learners. The Carlsbad branch of National University will occupy
18,000 square feet of the 41,000 square foot building and ·will operate from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm
during weekdays and from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm on Saturdays.
ID. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and a Coastal Development
Permit to occupy 18,000 square feet of an eAisting 41,000 square foot office building located at
705 Palomar Airport Road to operate a branch of National University. The subject building has
a total area of 41,000 square feet on a 2.05 acre lot, located on the east side of AYenida Encinas,
south of Palomar Airport Road and west of Interstate 5. The subject building is located with two
other existing office buildings in a campus like setting. The subject building was originally
approved as an office building by the Planning Commission under SDP 98-23, Carlsbad Pacific
Center Phase III. The other two buildings in this campus are also three story structures with
0
CUP 02-03/CDP 02-04 -ITIONAL l..JJ\TIVERSITY
September 18, 2002
Page2
50,765 square feet and 44,200 square feet. The first two buildings were built in 1986 and 1988
and were parked at a ratio of one space per 300 square feet in accordance ,vith the requirements
at that time. The subject building which was Phase III of Carlsbad Pacific Center provides 164
parking spaces at a ratio of one space per 250 square feet. Access to the site is from A venida
Encinas.
The applicant is proposing to use 4,555 square feet on the first floor and the entire 13,445 square
feet of the second floor. The remaining space on the first floor and the entire third floor are to be
used by other building tenants. The proposed hours of operation of National University are
weekday evening classes from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm and Saturdays from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
The anticipated number of students attending the University each evening is approximately 320.
In addition to the students, about 27 other staff and faculty members will also be present during
class times, working as instructors and clerical staff.
IV. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans. ordinances, and standards as analyzed
within this section of the staff report:
A. Planned Industrial (PI) General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. Industrial Zone (M) (Chapter 21.32 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code);
C. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code);
D. Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan-Palomar Airport;
E. l\follo II Segment of the Local Coastal Program, Coastal Development Procedures, and
the Coastal Resources Protection Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.201, 21.203 and 21.205);
F. Growth Management (Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code).
A. Planned Industrial (PI)
The General Plan and the Local Coastal Program has designated those areas as Planned
Industrial which are currently used for, proposed as or adjacent to industrial development
including manufacturing, warehousing, storage, research and development and utility use. The
proposed use of a private university is consistent with this designation since the Zoning
Ordinance allows this use with a Conditional Use Permit. The Zoning Ordinance implements the
General Plan by regulating the distribution and intensity of land uses in such categories as
residential, commercial and industrial.
B. Industrial Zone (M)
The zoning designation of the subject site is M, Industrial Zone. The M zone allows industrial
uses as well as uses permitted in the Commercial-Manufacturing zone, which allows heavy
commercial, limited industrial and other commercial and industrial businesses as well as office
buildings. The proposed use of a private university in an existing office building is a permitted
CUP 02-03/CDP 02-04 -'TIONAL UNIVERSITY
September 18, 2002

-
use in this zone pursuant to Chapter 21.42 of the Zoning Ordinance, provided a Conditional Use
Permit has first been obtained. The existing building which was previously approved under SDP
98-23 as Carlsbad Pacific Center Phase ill is consistent with all the applicable development
standards and requirements of the M zone.
Parking Requirements
The parking area associated ,vith Phase ill of Carlsbad Pacific Center is developed with 164
parking spaces, and the entire Carlsbad Pacific Center, including Phase ill, contains 486 spaces.
The CC&Rs for the Carlsbad Pacific center allow joint use of the entire parking area by all
tenants in the complex.
The required number of parking spaces pursuant to Section 21.44.020 of the Zoning Ordinance
for colleges/universities is one space per employee plus one space for each three students. The
subject facility proposes to have a total of 320 students and 27 faculty and staff members.
Parking spaces that are required for this facility are:
• 107 spaces for students (320/3) and
• 27 spaces for staff (1 space/employee)
• Total required spaces for National University= 107+27 = 134
Since National University will be occupying 18,000 square feet out of a total of 41,000 of the
subject building, the remaining 23,000 square feet will be utilized as office space and will need
92 parking spaces at a ratio of one space per 250 square feet.
Required number of parking spaces
(National University and remaining office space)= 134 +92 = 226 spaces
Section 21.44.050 of the Zoning Ordinance allows joint use of parking facilities for a night time
and day time use and states that up to 50 percent of the required parking facilities for a night time
use may be provided by the parking facilities of a day time use, provided such reciprocal parking
area is subject to conditions contained in section 21.44.050(a)(4)(D) of the ordinance. The
proposed operating hours of National University are from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm and from 8:30
am to 5 :30 pm on Saturdays. Based on these proposed hours of operation, the subject use can be
considered a joint use with the other office uses on-site since it will not be in conflict with the
existing offices onsite.

The applicant's traffic report for the proposed project conducted a field survey of the site to
determine availability of parking spaces from 4:45 pm to 5:45 pm on two typical weekdays. The
report concludes that the subject parking lot utilization was from 13% to 34% during the time of
the day mentioned above. Based on these findings, and provision for joint use of parking space
in the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed project will have more than the required number of
parking spaces available.
C. Conditional Use Permit Regulations
Conditional uses such as public or private schools and universities possess unique and special
characteristics which make it impractical to include them as permitted uses "by right" in any of
the various zoning classifications (i.e., residential, commercial, office, industrial). The authority
for the location and operation of these uses is subject to Planning Commission review and the
issuance of conditional use permits. The following required conditional use permit findings for
the proposed project can be made:
1. The proposed use is: a) necessary and desirable for the development of the community in
that the community benefits of a university include a higher education facility which
offers undergraduate and graduate programs to a diverse population of adult learners; b)
consistent with the General Plan in that the Planned Industrial land use designation does
not preclude the provision of a university;
2. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use in that the
building is existing and there will be no changes to the exterior design also existing on-
site parking meets the required number of parking spaces for the proposed use with the
provision of joint use parking;
3. All features necessary to adjust the requested use to the existing use are provided in that
the proposed use will be located in an existing building and other than interior
improvements, there will be no physical changes at the site; and
4. The street system serving the proposed use would not be impacted by the proposed
conditional use in that the project is conditioned to mitigate the possible traffic impacts as
explained below:
Traffic and Circulation
Projected Average Daily Traffic (ADT): 690 ADT with 345 inbound trips occurring in the pm
peak hour and no trips occurring in the am peak hour.
A Traffic Impact Analysis was completed by RBF Consultants to analyze the project's potential
traffic impacts on the surrounding streets. Since class hours would be restricted to weekdays
between 5:30 pm and I 0:00 pm, the report focused on evaluating project impacts on the
surrounding circulation system during the evening peak period. No trips are expected to occur in
the morning. The report analyzed existing, cumulative, and buildout (2020) conditions. Up to
seven signalized intersections were studied, but the intersection of A venida Encinas and Palomar
Airport Road and the section of A venida Encinas between the project entrance and Palomar
7
CUP 02-03/CDP 02-04 -•TIONAL UNIVERSITY
September 18, 2002

-
Airport Road were the street sections most likely to be impacted and became the focus of a
queuing analysis.
A queuing analysis was prepared to determine if adequate spacing exists between the project
access and Palomar Airport Road to accommodate the south bound left-tum movement at the
project drive and the northbound left-tum movement at Avenida Encinas and Palomar Airport
Road intersection for a back-to-back left-tum pocket configuration. The analysis showed that
there is sufficient storage capacity to accommodate the forecast northbound left-tum movement
at A venida Encinas and Palomar Airport Road intersection for buildout conditions. However, an
additional 125 feet of storage capacity is required to accommodate the southbound left-tum
movement into the project site bringing the total lane length to 225 feet. This additional
lengthening of the left-tum pocket can be accommodated without shortening the 100-foot
northbound left-tum lane. The project is conditioned to require the applicant to modify the
striping accordingly.
Another area of concern is the potential for congestion within the westbound left-tum-lane at the
Palomar Airport Road/Avenida Encinas intersection between 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm. The existing
left-tum pocket is 135 feet long with a 90-foot transition. The project is expected to add 259
vehicles to this left-tum pocket bringing the total volume to 344 vehicles between 5:00 pm and
5:30 pm. Based on the queuing analysis, the queue would exceed the left-tum lane's capacity
under the signal's current operation. However, the report suggests that the lane should be able to
accommodate the expected traffic if certain mitigations were imposed. One recommendation is
to modify the traffic signal timing to allow for conditional left-tum phasing. Conditional left-
turn phasing means that the left-tum phase would be allowed to go before and after the opposing
eastbound through movement, thus doubling the left volumes. The other recommendation is to
redistribute the project trips by requiring National University to distribute driving directions
and/or recommended route maps to students during orientation giving information on taking
either the Cannon Road or Poinsettia Lane exists from Interstate 5.
Staff is proposing that National University distribute recommended driving directions and/or
maps to students and faculty. The project has been conditioned accordingly. Staff does not
recommend conditionally phasing the left-tum signal at this time. The City Transportation
Department would monitor the intersection and if necessary, adjust the traffic signal cycle times
and/or conditionally phase the left-tum signal. Staff does not want to adjust the signal unless
necessary since such adjustments would most likely result in an increase in delays on all other
approaches to the intersection.
D. Comprehensive Land Use Plan for :McClellan-Palomar Airport
The proposed project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for
McClellan-Palomar Airport. The subject property is located within the 60 dB CNEL noise
contour for the Airport. Due to this location, the CLUP requires an acoustical analysis to assure
that interior noise levels v.rill not exceed 45d.B CNEL. The acoustical compliance survey
conduced for the University confirms that interior noise levels will be consistent with the CLUP
requirement of 45 dB CNEL without any additional mitigation measures.

E. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program
The proposed conditional use permit for National University in an existing building is consistent
with the relevant policies of the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and the Coastal
Resources Protection Overlay Zone. The project site has been previously disturbed and is
developed with the subject building, Carlsbad Pacific Center. The proposed project will not
obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way or otherwise
damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor
are there any sensitive resources located on the developed property. The proposed project is not
located on an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. No public opportunities for
coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site since it is not located between the first
public road and the ocean, and no public access requirements are conditioned for the project.
There are no steep slopes or natural vegetation on the subject site. The project will not have
drainage impacts on coastal resources.
F. Growth Management Ordinance
The proposed project is located within the Local Facilities Management Zone 3 in the southwest
quadrant of the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance
with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in the table below:

V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project constitutes conversion of an existing office building into a campus for National
University. The subject site is already improved ,vith the existing building and the applicant is
proposing to make interior improvements to accommodate the proposed use.
No environmental impacts which have not been mitigated by the project have been identified.
The site is currently developed with an office building and is located within an urban area, south
CUP 02-03/CDP 02-04 -•TIONAL UNIVERSITY

-
of Palomar Airport Road and east of Avenida Encinas. There is no habitat onsite that may
contribute to a preserve system nor are there any sensitive plant or animal species which must be
preserved.
Staff has conducted an environmental impact assessment to determine if the project could have a
potentially significant impact on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines and the
Environmental Protection Ordinance (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. As a result of
said review, the initial study (EIA Part 2) identified potentially significant effects on the
environment, but mitigation measures agreed to by the applicant, would avoid or mitigate the
effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and there is
no substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the project "as revised" may have a
significant impact on the environment.
In consideration of the foregoing, the Planning Director has issued a Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the project on August 9, 2002. No comments were received during the 20 day
public review.

RESOLUTION OF NATIONAL Ul\1:VERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
AT ITS REGULAR MEETING ON OCTOBER 19, 2001
RE LEASE OF REAL PROPERTY IN CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
"7HEREAS, as part of its long-term facilities planning, National University has entered into
a non-binding letter of intent to lease approximately 18,000 square feet in an existing building in
Carlsbad, California for a new center.
WHEREAS, John Bucher Real Estate Company, National University's real estate broker,
sent a request for proposals in May, 2001 to many of the San Diego area developers and commercial
property owners specifying the requirements for a new center in Carlsbad. The request for proposals
advised such developers and owners that Nationai University's requirements inciuded: (a)
approximately 18,000 square feet of rentable area; (b) a lease term of approximately seven years
beginning approximately March, 2002; (c) sufficient on-site parking spaces for approximately 350
students for use Monday through Thursday in the evening hours and on Saturday, and daytime
parking for approximately 70 vehicles; and ( d) if appropriate an option to extend the lease for an
additional one to five years and a right of first refusal to lease additional space in the building.
"'HEREAS, National University received three responses to its request for proposal and
determined that the response by Prentiss Properties Acquisition Partners, L.P. was the proposal that
would best suit National University's requirements.
\VHEREAS, after e}..'iensive negotiations, Prentiss Properties and National University
entered into the letter of intent providing the general parameters of lease terms pursuant to which
National University would lease space in the existing building at 705 Palomar Airport Road, Suites
150 and 200, Carlsbad, California (the "Property'). The letter of intent provides that: (a) the term of
the lease would be for seven years; (b) the premises would consist of approximately 19,080 rentable
square feet; ( c) minimum monthly rental during the lease term would be $2.15 per rental square foot
for the first year and increasing to $2.57 in the last year; (d) National Universitywould be given the
right to extend the term of the lease for an additional period of five years; and ( e) National University
would have a right of first offer to lease additional space in the b:iilding a:; it becomes available.
\VHEREAS, legal counsel for National University and Prentiss Properties are negotiating the
terms of an office lease and other related documents, but final agreement as to all of the terms has
not been achieved.
\VHEREAS, John Bucher, a member of the Board of Trustees, is representing National
University as its broker through his company John Bucher Real Estate Company. (Mr. Bucher and
his real estate company are sometimes collectively referred to herein as "'Mr. Bucher.") In such
capacity, Mr. Bucher will be receiving a commission from the landlord equal to 4% of the lease
payments for the first five years and 2% of the lease payments for the remaining term of the lease.
• •
\VHEREAS, Mr. Bucher has abstained from voting on these matters in connection ,vith
which he is an interested trustee and was excused from the Board meeting during deliberation and
voting on this resolution ( after giving the members of the Board an opportunity to ask any questions
they desired of Mr. Bucher).
NO\V, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the lease of the Property is hereby
approved and that any actions previously taken ,vith respect to such lease are hereby ratified and
approved;
RESOLVED FURTHER, that based in part on the findings and resolutions adopted by the
Board of Trustees on October 18, 1996, October 16, 1998, and May 12, 2001 regarding Mr. Bucher's
earlier and future services as National University's real estate broker, the Board makes the following
findings regarding Mr. Bucher's service as National University's real estate broker in connection with
this transaction: (a) National Universityv.ill enter into appropriate agreements with Mr. Bucher for
