Cover (sheet 1):
• General Information updated (new Owner address, new architect).
• Project Development Summary data updated to reflect project revisions described below.
• Sheet Index updated.
• Project Location map updated with revised site plan layout.
Site Development Plan -Phase 1 (sheets 2 & 3):
• Revised the Phase 1 Building Floor Area table. The proposed total building floor area for Phase 1 has
been revised from 56,960 s.f. to 62,458 s.f. (+10%). See building descriptions below for more details.
The required number of parking spaces has been increased from 186 to 247 spaces (per attached
Carlsbad Marketplace and Floral Trade Center Traffic/Parking Update Memo, Michael Baker
International, April 22, 2015).
• Updated all building footprints.
• All of Private Access Drive A will be paved in phase 1 (the southerly portion was previously shown to be
paved in phases 1, 2 or 3.).
• Private Access Drive B with connection to Car Country Drive will be improved (paved) in Phase 1. It was
previously shown to be paved in either phase 1, 2, or 3.
• The driveway previously shown at the north side of the Floral Trade Center & Marketplace building was
removed to enhance the exterior garden space and minimize conflicts between pedestrian and vehicular
circulation.
• The driveway around the western side of the Microbrewery and Winery/Culinary buildings is now shown
to be paved in Phase 1 (previously shown as "Future Road, unpaved farm access during Phase 1}".
• Parking spaces previously labeled as "Future Phase parking shown dashed. May be used optionally
during Phase 1 for overflow parking" will now be constructed in Phase 1 in order to provide the revised
required number of parking spaces for Phase 1.
• Added an ADA accessible pedestrian pathway to Car County Drive.

Center Bldg." Added a 15,400 s.f. retail building. Revised the building footprints and location on site.
• Phase 3: Reduced the combined total floor area of two retail buildings from 32,000 s.f. to 8,300 s.f.

remainder will be retail marketplace tenants selling agricultural/food/farm and related products.
• Exterior architectural materials modified. Metal siding proposed in lieu of previously shown composite
siding for a cleaner, modern aesthetic and less maintenance. Added reclaimed wood siding elements.
