ISSUES OF CONCERN
NO. PIP 00-05 - CARLSBAD RESEARCH CENTER LOT 23
Planning:
1. As stated previously, the proposed indoor employee eating area must be identified on
the floor plans or the permit holder must accept a condition that requires the entire
indoor eating area to be constructed with the first tenant improvement. Since the site
plan indicates the amount of indoor eating area but the floor plan does not indicate
where the eating area is, the project will be conditioned to require the entire indoor
eating area simultaneous with the first tenant improvement.
2. As mentioned in the January 8, 2001 correspondence from the Planning Department, lot
23 of Carlsbad Research Center is located within the over 75 dBA CNEL noise contour
for the McClellan-Palomar airport. According to the existing Comprehensive Land Use
Plan for the airport (CLUP), the proposed uses are not allowed uses within that noise
contour. Staff from the City, County, SANDAG and the airport are investigating this
inconsistency and will apprise you of the outcome once derived.

On the site plan, revise the design so the most southerly proposed driveway aligns
with the existing driveway across the site. It is our understanding the applicant was
informed in September 2000 pursuant to a preliminary review (PRE 00-62) that the
site was approved with only one (1) access point per the original tentative map.
However, Engineering staff will support the proposal of two access points on this lot if
the proposed driveways are in alignment with existing driveways across the street,
and minimum driveway spacing requirements are maintained with existing adjacent
ones.
On the conceptual grading plan, identify why drainage from lot 24 appears to be
routed to lot 23 near the southwest comer via a new storm drain. Storm water in this
location historically drained to Dryden Place via an existing 18-inch RCP. Please
clarify why drainage is being changed.
On the conceptual grading plan, revise the location of the irrigation service so that it is
located along Dryden Place right-of-way. This will allow for a “switch-over“ once
recycled water lines are installed in this area.
The preparation of a Hydrology/Hydraulics report will be included as a condition of
approval for the PIP per your request.
On the conceptual grading plan, include the approximate quantities of anticipated
remedial earthwork (refer to soils report).
On the conceptual grading plan, revise the legend to identify the proposed public
water main and irrigation service.
Add a note to the preliminary grading plans stating “This project will include minimum
10-foot vertical curves on all driveway approaches to Dryden Place to soften grade
breaks”.
Provide 5-feet offsets at parking lot corners to allow for vehicles to back up as shown
on the site plan.
9. Provide a 32-feet minimum width drive aisle adjacent to loading areas as shown on
the site plan.
10. On the site plan, add EDU’s (sewer), GPM (potable), and GPM (recycled) generated
or required by the project. There is sufficient project data (R&D, manufacturing,
warehouse) to estimate these figures.
11. Address minor redline comments as noted on the returned site plan and conceptual
grading plan.
12. A redlined check print is enclosed for the applicant’s use in making the requested
revisions. This check print must be returned with the plan revisions to facilitate
continued staff review.
