Please review this submittal and we will look for your Staffs response letter in about 30 days. There are several issues we understand will be addressed by your Staff that we feel need to be expanded after this initial submittal is made. The items I am referring to specifically include: 1. Offsite Sewer The sewer alternative shown on the tentative map is a gravity system with a pump station and force main and is different from the existing sewer master plan for this area which shows a gravity system offsite through the extremely sensitive Sunny Creek area toward the south Aqua Hedionda sewer system. This issue is important and needs to be discussed with your Staff and an acceptable alternative agreed upon. There are two alternatives for the force main location. One being in the existing easement through the County property that comes out near the intersection of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. The other alternative is to build the force main in an existing easement along the westerly edge of the existing Carlsbad Oaks project to Palomar Airport Road and then gravity flow down Palomar Airport Road to the intersection of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. 2. Biological Impacts We have not identified specifically where the impacts to the existing Coastal Sage Scrub onsite that is impacted will be mitigated or as to the ratio of the mitigation. We anticipate the mitigation will occur in the Client owned Phases 2 and 3 of the Highlands Mitigation Bank in northeast Carlsbad. We would expect that an EIR for this project will be required and that the City hired consultant could in essence perform a peer review (impact analysis) of the Client supplied biological data as it affects this project. In addition, the impacts listed on the attached table by Dudek and Associates could be affected slightly if there are any modifications to the development based on your Staffs review of the project. 3. Drainage The drainage crossing of Aqua Hedionda Creek at Faraday is shown with box culverts. In earlier discussions, some kind of an arch was discussed. In addition, detention appears to be required based on discussions with City Staff at this location. We would expect there would be some modifications to the details of the drainage system shown at the Faraday location. 4. Offsite Faraday Avenue Westerly of the Project to Orion Street (Near the Safety Center). Mr. Michael Holzmiller '' I July 10, 1997 Page 4 Should the City of Carlsbad contemplate completing the portion of Faraday Avenue westerly of the project to Orion Street, we can provide the City with recently flown aerial topography and current biological information for this road segment. This portion of roadway is a major part of the City wide circulation element and would provide relief for Palomar Airport Road upon its completion. 5. The financing and capital improvement program discussion in the Specific Plan text will need to be completed. Reference was made to the Zone 16 LFMP. We would expect that after the project has been reviewed by Staff that these sections could be completed. Also, Staff could then determine if any amendments are required to the existing Zone 16 LFMP. Again, please accept the attached applications for processing and we look forward to your Staffs response. Very truly yours, TECHBILT CONSTRUCTION CORP. Paul K TT:PKT:se Encl.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK (LADWIG DESIGN GROUP, INC. J/N L-1021) This specific plan, tentative map, hillside development permit, general plan amendment, zone change, and floodplain special use permit are intended to be tools to implement the goals and policies of the City of Carlsbad General Plan. The specific plan is required due the project's location within the airport influence area and shall be known as Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan. The project encompasses a total of 414 acres which was formally the northern part of the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan No. 200 known as Area B. The southerly portion of the Carlsbad Airport Business Center's Specific Plan known as Area A has been developed as industrial. The purpose of this application is to provide for the design, development and operation of a light industrial complex within the City of Carlsbad. The land use plan and development regulations will insure an industrial development that conforms to Community goals and values and the protection of adjacent land uses from unfavorable impacts. The specific plan will be adopted pursuant to the provision of the California Government Code, Sections 65450ET-SEG. and the Land Use Element of the City of Carlsbad General Plan. The area covered by this plan is included within the Palomar Airport Special Treatment Area specified in the General Plan. In addition, the specific plan establishes detailed regulations, conditions and programs for development within the area specified herein. Carlsbad Oaks North is located north of Palomar Airport Road and approximately 1 mile east of El Camino Real. The Carlsbad Raceway is located east of the project site. Immediately north of the proposed project is the Dawson Los Monos Canyon Reserve. This sensitive area is part of the University of California Natural Land and Water Resources System and is used by the University for scientific and educational purposes. The property to the west is the County of San Diego proposed industrial park and the City of Carlsbad Safety Center. Aqua Hedionda Creek, in its southern fork, crosses the southerly portion of the ownership. The linear riparian woodland, consisting of oaks, willows and sycamore trees, will be retained. Care will be taken in the alignment of Faraday Avenue onsite and the extension of El Fuerte Street to minimize impact on the riparian habitat. The site topography can be characterized as previously farmed and cultivated rolling scrub covered hills with several eroded hillsides containing gullies. 703 Palomar Rirport Road + Suite 300 *• Carlsbad, California 92009 (760) 438-3182 FflX (760) 438-0173 Project Description July?, 1997 Page 2 . description of the components of this application is as follows:A General Plan Amendment/Zone Change Based on current biological information and City of Carlsbad design requirements, changes to the existing boundaries between the planned industrial and open space are required. The area of planned industrial when compared to the Zone(l6 LFIVfflhas decreased from 289 acres to 227 acres (21 percent). The area of open space has increased from 125 acres to 186 acres (49 percent). Tentative Map The tentative map is made up of 27 industrial lots and 3 open space lots. Industrial lots range in size from 2.4 acres gross to 22.9 acres and average 10.7 acres. Net useable pads range from 1.9 acres to 20.9 acres and average 5.6 acres. The 3 open space lots plus a portion of Lot 1 equals 186.8 acres or 45 percent of the entire project site. Two eating areas are included and are spread throughout the subdivision. These are areas for employee eating and are adjacent to public rights of way. All streets meet City standards for industrial areas. The anticipated buildings square footage is 1,921,000 square feet. This is based on approximately 30 percent building coverage of the net pad areas. The grading for the project totals 2.8± million cubic yards and averages 10,990 per graded acre including the onsite collector roads, Faraday Avenue and El Fuerte Street. Slope banks are generally under 30 feet in height. In an effort to create larger industrial sites, a number of campus pads have been provided. Three of the largest pads are 10 acres, 14.4 acres, and 20.9 acres. _Nine additional pads are greater than 5 acres in size. There is currently a demand for these larger sites in the growing Carlsbad market and at this time there are no large sites available. These larger pads reduce the amount of public streets necessary to serve the area, thereby reducing public costs for future maintenance. Also, users can acquire these larger sites for future expansions which will help on business retention for the City which is also a concern. The project street system was designed to follow the natural contour in an effort to keep grading to a minimum and to provide a pleasing street scene without straight slopes. The drainage system will include detention/desiltation basins on most lots. In addition, the major drainage crossing at Faraday Avenue will function as a detention basin. (See O'Day Consultants engineering report included with the special use/floodplain report.) Sewage will be collected in a gravity system to a pump station on Lot 28 near the intersection of El Fuerte and Faraday Avenue. A force main will then pump the effluent southwesterly to the existing system near El Camino Real. 703 Palomor Rirport Road + Suit© 300 + Carlsbad, California 92009 (760) 438-3182 FRX (760) 438-0173 Project Description July?, 1997 Page 3 Hillside Development Permit The attached constraints map has clearly outlined the development area. In addition, the slope analysis shows the project slope categories are as follows: 0 to 0-15 percent -171.2 acres - 41.4 percent, 15-25 percent -139.7 acres - 33.7 percent, 25- 40 percent - 64.6 acres - 15.6 percent, greater than 40 percent - 24.4 acres - 5.9 percent and previously graded slopes 14.1 acres - 3.4 percent. A total of 17.8 acres/73 percent/of all slopes greater than 40 percent are being maintained undisturbed in open space lots. The area of slopes over 40 percent being graded equal approximately 6.6 acres total and are scattered over 60 small areas throughout the project. In addition, the open space being set aside as part of this application has increased by 61 acres when compared to the current Zone 16 LFMP. This 61 acres has done away with small segments of open space (some of which is made up of the 40 percent slopes) scattered throughout the project that were shown in the zone plan. The small areas are now concentrated adjacent to the higher quality open space and habitat in the central and western portions of the habitat corridors within the project. Special Use Permit/Floodplain The only work within the 100-year flood limits is the 0.4± acres of impact required for the crossing of Aqua Hedionda Creek at Faraday Avenue. This crossing location was picked because of the natural narrow configuration of the creek. Also, the existing Zone 16 plan had El Fuerte Street connecting to Faraday near the proposed location of Street F. One creek crossing was eliminated in this design by relocating El Fuerte in the proposed location shown. O'Day Consultants has submitted the necessary engineering data for the City Engineer to review as part of the special use permit/floodplain application. Specific Plan The specific plan has been prepared per City and State guidelines. Plan uses are identified along with permitted uses, implementation measures, general development standards, and mitigating measures. 703 Palomar flirport Road 4 Suit© 300 + Carlsbad, California 92009 (760) 438-3182 FRX (760) 438-0173 Project Description July 7, 1997 Page 4 Summary This application has been prepared following City and State requirements and will be one of the last major industrial projects to be developed in the City of Carlsbad. Extensive care has been taken to be sensitive to the natural resources in the area and yet provide uniquely located sites which will offer parcels that take advantage of the natural setting and yet provide significant buffer to sensitive areas. The City Trail Segment No. 26 will cross the central valley and total approximately 6,400 lineal feet (1.2 miles) from west to east. The major portion of the trail will be along or in natural areas and yet outside the sensitive habitat corridor areas. The project has also proposed a landscape buffer adjacent to the existing residential uses in the City of Vista along the eastern edge of the development. In addition, the specific plan calls for noise and odor controls to assure future development will not be intrusive to the residents. No other adjacent areas are for residential use. Significant work has been accomplished to assure implementation of the City's Habitat Management Plan (HMP). The major east/west natural corridor is the central feature of our project and the HMP. This project will provide permanent protection needed to implement the City's HMP planning efforts for this area. 703 Palomar flirport Road 4 Suite 300 + Carlsbad, California 92009 (760) 438-3182 FflX (760) 438-0173 PACIFIC OCEAN Site CITY OF VISTA CITY OF ENCINITAS CITY OF SAN MARCOS North No Scale BUSINESS PARK Escondido Serenas Development, Inc.

This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration. • A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A "No Impact" answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. • "Less Than Significant Impact" applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted general standards and policies. • "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. • "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. • Based on an "EIA-Part II", if a proposed project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, but all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prior environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional environmental document is required (Prior Compliance). • When "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR. • A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. Rev. 03/28/96 • If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, and those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this case, the appropriate "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated" may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared. • An EIR must be prepared if "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked, and including but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than significant; (2) a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" for the significant impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II analysis it is not possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a level of significance. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site- specific conditions for the project. Rev. 03/28/96 Icicluiig Design Group, Inc. SUPPLEMENTAL AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FORM - PART I FOR CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK I. Land Use and Planning a. Part of this application includes a general plan amendment and a zone change. The general plan amendment will increase the open space acreage and decrease the industrial development designations for the property. In addition, the existing zoning is a residential zone and will be changed to a compatible industrial zone. b. Impacts are anticipated on Coastal Sage Scrub. These impacts will be offset by mitigation/dedication of adequate acreage in the existing Highlands Mitigation Bank. The applicant currently owns Phases 2 and 3 of the existing mitigation bank. II. Population and Housing b. As part of the future development in this area, Faraday Avenue will be extended between Melrose Avenue in Vista and Orion Street in the City of Carlsbad. This could induce growth on the County owned land that has an industrial designation. III. Geologic Problems f, g, and h. Significant geologic information has been obtained and is submitted along with this application. Please refer to those documents for answers to these three questions. IV. Water a, c, e, f, and h. The property is currently undeveloped and changes will occur as part of the development of the property. Absorption rates will change. There will be discharge to existing Aqua Hedionda Creek. There will be minor changes in the direction of the current water movement and there could be changes in the quantity of water reaching groundwater levels. 703 Pcilomor Fiirport Road 4 Suite 300 4 Carlsbad, California 92009 (760) 438-3182 FflX (760) 438-0173 Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Page 2 Onsite detention and desiltation are being provided and there are no major diversions of water as part of this project. V. Air Quality a. Increased traffic will contribute to existing air quality levels. VI. Transportation/Circulation a. The project will generate additional average daily trips of 17,700. This is a significant reduction from what was anticipated with the existing Zone 16 Local Facilities Management Plan which was 28,900 or a reduction of 11,200 from what was proposed. Also, with the eventual completion of El Fuerte and Faraday westerly to the safety center, traffic will be able to take additional routes and the existing congestion on Palomar Airport Road will be relieved. VII. Biological Resources a, b, c, d, and e. Certain impacts will occur to habitats of certain threatened species. In addition, there will be minor impacts on some oak trees and approximately a 0.4 acre wetland impact with the crossing of Faraday Avenue over Aqua Hedionda Creek. All these potential impacts will be mitigated by either setting aside specific areas in approved mitigation banks, revegetation or habitat enhancement. X. Noise a and b. With the extension of the circulation routes (Faraday and El Fuerte) additional increases in traffic levels will occur on Faraday in Vista adjacent to existing residences. XI. Public Services a, b and d. Additional Police, Fire and maintenance responsibilities will be required for the new subdivision improvements. These costs will be offset from the revenues generated from this project. 703 Palomar Rirport Road + Suite 300 + Carlsbad, California 92009 (760) 438-3182 FflX (760) 438-0173 Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Page3 XII. Utilities and Services Systems a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. All utility services will need to be extended into the project and will be paid for within the project by development. City fees will be paid for the offsite major facilities as required. XIII. Aesthetics a and c. This project will be visible from Palomar Airport Road. Also, the industrial complex will have a lighting system for security and parking areas which will be visible from adjacent areas. Significant landscaping is proposed for the new development areas along with lighting that will be directed away from any residences as required. XIV. Cultural Resources a and b. It is unknown whether any paleontological resources will be impacted onsite. In addition, archaeological resources will be identified and appropriate mitigation proposed. XV. Recreational a. Additional demand will be required for recreational facilities. Upon the acquisition of subsequent building permits a $0.40 per square foot recreational fee will be charged for recreational purposes. XVI. Mandatory Findings of Significance a. Some impact to the habitat of threatened species and filling in a minor area of wetlands will be mitigated with the appropriate on and combination of offsite mitigation. 703 Palomar Rirport Road 4- Suite 300 + Carlsbad, California 92009 (760)438-3182 FRX (760) 438-0173
