Centre PIP 97-04 / HDP 9747
Location: Carlsbad Planning Department
Purpose: Discussed Planning Department response to design alternatives submitted for review
on 10 June 1997.
1. JM discussed the project status and approval process relative to the scheduled TriTeal move in
date of April 15, 1997 and requested the City identify their concerns with the design
alternatives.
2. Tw indicated the Planning Department revlewed three design alternatives as submitted June
10,1997 and concluded staff can not support the amount of development proposed because
the plan is not consistent with City policies regulating hillside development, encroachment over
slope banks and maximum retaining wall height,
3. TW reviewed the three design alternatives individually making the following recommendations:
A. Palomar Airport Road:
The Planning department prefers Option I, regrading the entire street frontage with slopes
varying between 3:l and 1.5:l. Since all existing vegetation will be removed, the design of
replacement landscaping will be critical. The four oak trees should be boxed and replaced.
New plant materials should be similar to what already exists along Palomar Airport Road
since it is considered a "scenic corridor". Landscaping should include a mixture of small
trees and larger specimen shrubs. The resulting slope bank should have a natural
undulating appearance and respect the existing character of Palomar Airport Road.

6. West Property Line:
Limit the height of the retaining wall to six feet and provide sufficient area at the base of the
wall to allow for landscaping to screen this wall from the adjacent property.
This area is a major concern due to the extent of encroachment over the top of the existing
slope bank. City policy limits encroachment to 12' horizontal with a maximum retaining
wall of 6' vertical. City policy does not differentiate between natural and manufactured
slopes as slopes become naturalized over time, witness the encroachment of Coastat Sage at
the base of the slope. Attering coastal sage growth will create additional delays during the
application review process. GW indicated replanting the eastern slope bank is required.
TW indicated eliminating the fire lane behind the buildings is a possible solution to the
encroachment problem at the top of the eastern slope bank. TW will contact Mike Smith in the
Carlsbad Fire Department to review the requirements for fire department access. Resolving this
issue is critical prior to resubmitting the site plan for review.
W will contact Ken Quon to determine if the Engineering Department has finished reviewing
the original PIP submittal. TW requested the revised plans show turning radii and required
backup space at comer parking conditions.
TW indicated the City requires 2-3 weeks to review the plans after re-subrnittal and requests a
Non-Residential Planned Development application along with Hillside Development and
Planned Industrial Permits for the project. The Non-Residential PUD will eliminate concern
over walking distance between parking spaces and building entry.
JM reiterated the time critical nature of the project in order to meet the TriTeal move in date of
April 1998 and questioned how quickly a grading permit may be obtained. TW indicated a
minimum of two months and suggested the client begin the landscape approval process
because of the long time line for approvals; Le. walking the plans through the various agencies
for approvals.
