II. INTRODUCTION The proposal involves a Site Development Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Coastal Development Permit Amendment to allow the addition of a gasoline pump island at the existing Costco gasoline station, a 19,371 square foot expansion to the existing Costco warehouse, including two new roof-mounted HVAC units, and the addition of 55 parking spaces. A Site Development Plan Amendment is required because of the Q Overlay zoning designation. A Conditional Use Permit Amendment is required for the gas station use. A Coastal Development Permit Amendment is needed for development in the City's Coastal Zone. The project conforms to all applicable regulations and staff has no issues with the proposal. HI. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Design Development Group is requesting approval of a Site Development Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Coastal Development Permit Amendment to allow several expansions or revisions to the current Costco commercial development. The proposal has three essential components. The first is a 19,371 square foot expansion to the existing warehouse, including expanded retail and food service areas, and a new receiving area. The second component is the expansion of the existing gas station through the addition of another 0 SDP 90-05(E)/CUP 90-0^VC)/CDP 97-05(A) - COSTCO GAS STA.iON/BUILDING EXPANSION July 19, 2000 Page 2 pump island and an extension to the gas station canopy. The third part of the proposal involves the addition of 55 parking spaces along the northern perimeter of the existing parking area. The Costco site is designated Regional Commercial (R) on the City's General Plan and is zoned General Commercial with a Qualified Development Overlay (C-2-Q). The site is located south of Palomar Airport Road, between Armada Drive and Paseo del Norte. The site is also within the City's Coastal Zone and within the boundaries of the Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay zone. The site is currently developed with a retail warehouse, gas station and associated parking, landscaping, and facilities. To the north of the site is Palomar Airport Road, with the flower fields to the north of the roadway. East and south of the Costco site are open space areas and west of the site are developed sites containing office, retail, restaurant, and daycare uses. The Costco site has been reviewed by the Planning Commission/City Council on six previous occasions. First was the original approval on May 21, 1991, which included the 121,000 square foot Price Club building and associated parking and loading areas, a graded pad on Paseo del Norte for a future 15,000 square foot office building, and a graded pad on Palomar Airport Road for a future 5,000 square foot retail building. In April 1996, the Price Club received a Site Development Plan Amendment to add 12,200 square feet of interior space to the existing warehouse for meat and deli preparation, bakery, and additional sales display areas. In March 1997, the Planning Commission approved a boundary adjustment to the western portion of the site to facilitate the design of the adjacent Carl's Jr. project. In October 1997, the City Council approved amendments to the Costco permits to allow the construction of a members-only, automated gasoline station with three pump islands and a canopy in the northeastern portion of the existing parking lot. Shortly after that approval, in January 1998, the City Council approved an amendment to the Costco Conditional Use Permit to allow the placement of up to 30 outdoor tables for use by food service patrons. Most recently, in January 1999, the Planning Commission approved the placement of roof-mounted HVAC units on the warehouse building, provided the roof screens were covered with a finish and painted to match the existing building. The current proposal would add 19,371 square feet of floor space to the existing warehouse building, add an additional pump island and extend the canopy at the existing gas station, and add 55 parking spaces to the parking lot. The warehouse expansion would include: 9,602 square feet of retail sales area along the northern side; 169 square feet of additional food service area on the eastern side; and 9,602 square feet of additional receiving area on the south side. The northern building expansion would also expand the building's entrance, as well as the existing overhanging canopy. The redesigned entry would also increase the shared pedestrian/vehicular circulation area in front of the building, resulting in a loss of 18 parking spaces. The southern building expansion would result in a redesigned receiving area, rotated 90 degrees to better screen the operations from the residences to the south. A new screen wall and landscaping would screen the receiving operations from properties to the west. The proposed improvements to the gas station area include the addition of a pump island on the south side of the existing station and the extension of the overhead canopy over the new island. These improvements would also require the conversion of 10 existing parking spaces into a landscaped median. The current proposal also involves the construction of 55 additional parking spaces along the northern perimeter of the existing parking lot. All proposed improvements SDP 90-05(E)/CUP 90-0_v J)/CDP 97-05(A) - COSTCO GAS STA ^ON/BUILDING EXPANSION July 19, 2000 Page 3 would match the existing structures with materials and colors. The warehouse expansion and gas canopy extension would follow the existing building height, that being 30 feet and 17.5 feet, respectively. No revisions are proposed to the existing building materials, colors or architecture, nor are there revisions proposed to the existing signage. With the exception of small landscaped parking lot medians, no revisions to the existing landscaping are proposed. All existing uses are proposed to remain in their existing intensity. The Costco Gas Station/Building Expansion project is subject to the following regulations: A. General Plan; B. Local Coastal Program; C. C-2-Q - General Commercial Zone with a Qualified Development Overlay (Chapters 21.28 and 21.06 of the Zoning Ordinance); D. Conditional Use Ordinance (Chapter 21.42 of the Zoning Ordinance); E. Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Ordinance (Chapter 21.208 of the Zoning Ordinance); F. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance); G. Zone 5 Local Facilities Management Plan. IV. ANALYSIS The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis section discusses compliance with each of these regulations/policies utilizing both text and tables. A. General Plan The Costco Gas Station/Building Expansion project is consistent with the applicable policies and programs of the General Plan. Particularly relevant to the commercial expansion proposal are the Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space and Conservation, and Public Safety Elements. Table 1 below indicates how the project complies with these particular elements of the General Plan. SDP 90-05(E)/CUP 90-O^vCyCDP 97-05(A) - COSTCO GAS STAi ION/BUILDING EXPANSION July 19, 2000 Page 4 TABLE 1 - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE Element Land Use Circulation Housing Open Space and Conservation Public Safety Parks and Recreation Use Classification/Goal, Objective or Program Project site is designated for Regional Commercial (R) uses. Commercial developments should provide landscaped parking lots and use harmonious architecture between buildings. Provide safe, adequate and attractively landscaped parking facilities. Achieve a balance between local jobs created and the cost of housing relative to the wages. A city that protects environmentally sensitive land and buffer areas. Design all structures in accordance with the seismic design standards of the UBC and State building requirements. To finance future public park and recreation facilities. Proposed Use and Improvements Proposed expansion of existing retail uses is consistent with Regional Commercial designation. Parking lot is adequately landscaped and the gas station canopy extension and building expansion match the existing architecture and materials. All parking areas provide adequate circulation and landscaping. The project has been conditioned to pay a non-residential housing linkage fee, should one be adopted by the City prior to building permit issuance. No expansion of the existing Costco site is proposed and the NPDES pollutant elimination system is conditioned to be maintained at a higher frequency with more stringent reporting requirements. The gas station and building expansions are designed in conformance with all seismic design standards. Project is conditioned to pay non- residential park in-lieu fee for Zone 5. Compliance Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Given the above, the Costco Gas Station/Building Expansion is consistent with the applicable goals, programs, policies and objectives of the General Plan. B. Local Coastal Program The Costco site is located within the Mello II segment of the City's Coastal Zone and is subject to the corresponding land use policies and implementing ordinances. These policies and ordinances emphasize topics such as preservation of agriculture and scenic resources, protection of environmentally sensitive resources, provision of shoreline access, and the prevention of SDP 90-05(E)/CUP 90-(LVJ)/CDP 97-05(A) - COSTCO GAS STA x iGN/BUILDING EXPANSION July 19, 2000 PageS geologic instability and erosion. The site is currently developed and no agricultural or environmentally sensitive lands exist on site. The project will conform to the City of Carlsbad Engineering Standards with regard to erosion control. Since the site is located 1.3 miles from the Pacific Ocean, no shoreline development regulations apply. No scenic resources exist on or near the developed site. Given the above, the Costco Gas Station/Building Expansion project is consistent with the Mello II land use policies and the applicable implementing ordinances. C. C-2-Q - General Commercial with a Qualified Development Overlay Zone The Costco property is zoned C-2-Q and therefore subject to the provisions of those zoning designations. The restrictions contained in the C-2 - General Commercial zone deal mostly with uses, however there are standards regarding building height and placement on the lot. The proposed expansions do not involve any uses not currently existing on the commercial site. With regard to development standards, the maximum building height in the C-2 zone is 35 feet to the peak of the roof. The proposed gas station canopy expansion does not exceed the existing canopy height of 17.5 feet to the top of the roof and the proposed retail and loading zone building expansions equal the existing warehouse building height of 30 feet. The building placement standards in the C-2 zone only apply when the property is adjacent to residential property, which is not the case for the Costco property. The Qualified Development Overlay Zone does not contain any specific development standards but does allow the Planning Commission to increase any standards or impose special conditions that may be deemed necessary. The project includes the addition of 55 parking spaces, even though the existing parking supply could accommodate the proposed expansions. The project is also conditioned to screen the proposed roof-mounted HVAC units with roof screening, covered and colored to match the existing building. Given the above, the proposed expansions to the gas station, warehouse building and parking lot are consistent with the C-2-Q zoning designations. While not contained in the C-2 zoning requirements, a discussion of the parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the project's conformance is appropriate in this section. The proposed gas station expansion would replace 10 parking spaces with a landscaped median. The proposed building expansion would reconfigure the vehicular circulation in front of the warehouse and remove 18 spaces in the process. The proposed 19,371 square foot building expansion would generate a demand for an additional 44 parking spaces. To partially offset the loss of parking and the generation of additional parking demand, the proposal also involves the creation of 55 new parking spaces along the northern edge of the parking lot. Table 2 below details the parking requirements and amount of parking provided for the Costco proposal. TABLE 2 - PARKING REQUIREMENTS Use Retail Food Service Parking Ratio 1 space per 300 sq. ft. 1 space per 100 sq. ft. Square Footage 100,588 sq. ft. (existing) 9,602 sq. ft. (proposed) l.SOOsq. ft.

(existing) TOTAL PARKING REQUIRED TOTAL PARKING PROVIDED (including removal and replacement) Parking Required 25 spaces 10 spaces 1 8 spaces 17 spaces 455 spaces 693 spaces In addition to the parking provision and requirements detailed above, the Costco site and parking is partially shared by the Oscar's Carlsbad proposal (SDP 90-05(F)). The Oscar's property is located in the northeast comer of the Costco parking lot and currently contains 68 spaces. The Oscar's proposal involves a 5,250 square foot restaurant with 1,800 square feet of outdoor dining. In addition to the building, the Oscar's proposal would add 19 new parking spaces along the northern perimeter of the parking area for a total of 87 spaces on the property. The parking demand generated by the restaurant is 103 spaces, therefore 16 spaces are needed from the Costco parking lot to accommodate the Oscar's restaurant. Given that the two sites have a parking agreement and share some of the parking area, and that the Costco site is still overparked by 238 spaces, the parking is adequate to accommodate both the proposed Costco expansion and the new Oscar's restaurant. With regard to traffic generation, the proposed additions are estimated to generate an additional 1,450 average daily trips (ADT). The project traffic report indicates that the intersections that were analyzed currently operate at a level of service (LOS) C or better (according to the City's Growth Management Performance Standards) with the exception of Palomar Airport Road and Interstate 5 Northbound, which operates at LOS D. The proposed project will add a minimal amount of traffic to both the morning and evening peak traffic periods. The expansions will add 42 ADT to the morning peak and 128 ADT to the evening peak. After analysis of the project's traffic generation and the levels of service along the roadways and intersections serving the project, the Engineering Department has determined that the additional traffic generated by the proposed expansions does not have significant negative impacts on traffic circulation in the area and no additional conditions are required. D. Conditional Use Ordinance Since the project involves the enhancement of a gasoline station in a commercial zone, a Conditional Use Permit Amendment is required pursuant to Section 21.42.010(7) of the Zoning Ordinance. The four findings required for a Conditional Use Permit address compatibility and harmony of the use with the project site and its existing and future surroundings. The proposed gas station expansion would extend to the south of the existing gas station, away from Palomar Airport Road. The parking lot striping and design have been revised to accommodate the additional lanes of gas station circulation and the landscaping around the gas station is being augmented on the south side. The extension to the canopy would maintain the same height as the existing, 17.5-foot high canopy that is only partially visible from Palomar Airport Road. As SDP 90-05(E)/CUP 90-03V^)/CDP 97-05(A) - COSTCO GAS STA'i iON/BUILDING EXPANSION July 19, 2000 Page? discussed above, the additional traffic generated by the warehouse building and gas station expansions will not impact the levels of service of the surrounding roadways and key intersections to an unacceptable level. Given the above, the gas station expansion is consistent with the Conditional Use Ordinance. E. Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone The Costco site is located within the City's Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone and is, therefore, subject to the applicable provisions of Chapter 21.208 of the Zoning Ordinance. The types of standards regulated by the overlay zone include parking, signage, building materials and colors, architecture, building setbacks, and landscaping. The findings required to approve permits in the overlay zone involve the project being adequately designed to accommodate visitor and tourist traffic and the project including complimentary building forms, colors, materials and architecture. According to Section 21.208.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, existing uses within the overlay zone are exempt from the regulations of the ordinance unless the use is intensified or the structure containing the use is expanded by over 200 square feet. In either case, only that intensified or expanded portion is subject to the provisions of Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay zone. Therefore, the proposed expansions to the warehouse and the gas station are subject to the provisions of the overlay zone. Since the expansions are mimicking the existing building materials, colors and architecture, they are consistent with the overlay zone provision of including complimentary building forms, etc. Since no revisions are occurring to the existing signage, no compliance with the overlay zone requirements is mandated. With regard to building height, the overlay zone defers to the underlying zoning. The existing 30-foot and 17.5-foot high buildings on the site are below the maximum building height of 35 feet for the C-2 zone. Since the expansion of the canopy is on the south side, the expansion conforms to the 50-foot setback from Palomar Airport Road required by the overlay zone. Given the above, the proposal is consistent with the Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone. F. Growth Management The Costco project involves no residential uses, therefore many of the facilities regulated by the Growth Management Ordinance are not affected. Table 3 below shows the project's compliance with the applicable Growth Management facility requirements.

Zone 5 Local Facilities Management Plan The Costco Site is located within the Local Facilities Management Zone 5. There are no special development conditions in the zone plan that apply to this non-residential project, except for the requirement for a 40 cents per square foot park-in-lieu fee. All public facilities needed to serve the development are already in place. In addition, the project is conditioned to pay a Traffic Impact Fee as required for the proposed use expansions as well as conform to all current and future requirements of the Zone Plan. As is standard practice, a Public Facilities Fee will be collected for the warehouse expansion at the time of building permit issuance. Given the above, the proposed Costco expansion project is consistent with the Zone 5 Local Facilities Management Plan. V.ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Earlier analysis of the Costco site has been conducted on numerous occasions. The earliest analysis was through the Master Environmental Impact Report for the 1994 General Plan Update (MEIR 93-01), which reviewed the potential impacts associated with buildout of the City's General Plan, including transportation and air quality impacts. Next was the Conditional Negative Declaration for the original Price Club store (SDP 90-05), which reviewed the potential impacts of the development of the Price Club site (now known as Costco) with a 121,000 square foot commercial retail and warehouse building and associated parking, landscaping and improvements. The most recent environmental documentation for the site was the Negative Declaration for the PriceCostco Gasoline State (SDP 90-05(C)/CUP 90-03(A), which reviewed the potential impacts of the construction and operation of a members-only, automated gasoline station within the developed Costco parking lot. The current proposal involves the expansion of the existing warehouse and gas station within the developed portion of the Costco site. Since no expansion of the existing site is proposed and no new uses are being added to the site, the current project's potential impacts on land use and planning, population and housing, geology, air quality, transportation and circulation, biological resources, cultural resources and recreation have been previously analyzed in the earlier environmental analysis. SDP 90-05(E)/CUP 90-(bvJ)/CDP 97-05(A) - COSTCO GAS STAnON/BUILDING EXPANSION July 19, 2000 Page 9 The current environmental analysis evaluated the project's potential impacts on water and other utilities and services, hazards, noise, and aesthetics. The analysis found that no adverse impacts would occur due to the proposal, therefore, the Planning Director issued a Negative Declaration for the proposed Costco Gas Station/Building Expansion project on June 26, 2000 for public review. No comments were received within the 20-day notice period. ATTACHMENTS; 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4791 2. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4792 3.
