Dear Mr. Siedschlag,
Ccityof
Carlsbad
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for Consistency Determination, CD 2022-
0027, which is a modification to Planned Industrial Permit, PIP 97-06, and a Non-Residential Planned
Development Permit, PUD 97-16, allowing for the development of an industrial building with shared
parking (204 parking spaces provided) located at 1914 Palomar Oaks Way (APN 212-092-34-00 and 212-
092-35-00) within the Carlsbad Airport Centre Specific Plan (SP 181(H)).
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all the
findings below and APPROVES this request. The proposed modifications include:
• The addition of a mechanical equipment enclosure (approximately 322 square feet) for the
installation of a new power generator (7-foot-tall) surrounded by a 9-foot-6-inch-tall masonry
screen wall and steel gates finished to inatch the existing building. The proposed generator
and enclosure will occupy an area of existing paving adjacent to the industrial building and
shared parking lot. No parking spaces or landscape is proposed to be removed.
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings
must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, in that the proposed screen walls
associated with the mechanical equipment enclosure utilize building materials that are
architecturally compatible with the existing building and are of a height that wi/1 adequately
screen the proposed equipment contained within.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property.
4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit.
5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development, in that no
additional building floor area or other uses are proposed beyond the scope of what was

approved under the original Planned Industrial Permit, application no. PIP 97-06, or that are
anticipated within the Planned-Industrial (P-M) loneJ
6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code, in that no addition of internal floor area or building height is proposed.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation, in that the proposed improvement does not create any inconsistencies or
new impacts relative to the environmental review process associated with the original project's
approval.
8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change, in that the proposed mechanical equipment enclosure
utilizes building materials for the enclosure that maintain the general design, quality and
function of the original project.
10) The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved, in that the proposed mechanical
equipment enclosure utilizes building materials for the enclosure that maintain the general
design, quality and function of the original project.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact your project planner, Jason
Goff, at 442-339-2643.
