SUBJECT: PS 2021--0015 (DEV2021-0029)-BADIEE DEVELOPMENT SIGN PROGRAM
-Request for approval of a new sign program for the property locate_d at 2810 Caribou
Court, in the Planned Industrial Zone and Local Facilities Management Zone 16.
Dear Ms. Jackson,
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for new sign program PS 2021-0015 for the
Badiee Development located 2810 Caribou Court. Specifically, the sign program proposes to create a
uniform sign design that includes six (6) wall signs with a combined total of 240 square feet located on
the south, east and west elevations, six-square-foot tenant identification window signs located on the
front doors of tenant suites, and one-square-foot tenant identification signs for each suite located at the
rear of the building (north elevation). After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this
request, the City Planner has made a decision pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.41.060 of
the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code to APPROVE this request based on the following findings and
subject to the conditions listed below.
Findings:
1. All signs comply with the sign area, number, height, location and other sign standards as set forth in
this chapter in that all proposed signs in the sign program comply with Carlsbad Municipal Code
Chapter 21.41.
2. The signs have been integrated with the project's building, site and landscaping design to form a
unified architectural statement in that the proposed sign program will provide a uniform design
consistent with the existing architectural style within the subject property.
3. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15311(a) -Accessory Structures, On-premise signs of the state
CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions
listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
