LLC APPLICANT NAME: Peter Bussett / Smith Consultina Architects DESCRIPTION The project is a 2-building office campus on Bressi Ranch Lots 10-13 to be occupied by ViaSat, and includes design features to connect the site to Building 1 on ViaSat's main campus via a proposed signalized pedestrian crosswalk at El Camino Real. The proposed project on Lots 10-13 consists of (2) 3-story buildings, surface parking, landscaped outdoor lunch patios & meeting areas, and equipment yards & trash enclosures in the parking lot. The project proposes Building 10 @ 77,400 sq.ft. and Building 11 @ 65,700 sq.ft. for a total of 143,100 gross sq. ft. of building area on the 9.906 acre site. The project will seek LEED certification. The equipment yards total 7,442 sq.ft., and house the HVAC central plant equipment, a satellite antenna farm and a backup generator. The project will be constructed in two phases, and drawings depicting the Phase 1 scope and overall scope are included in the submittal package. Lots 10-13 were mass-graded per approved Bressi Ranch Final Map CT 02-15 and are located east of El Camino Real, north of Gateway Road and west of Campbell Place in the Bressi Ranch Master Plan Planning Area 3. The proposed site layout, building uses and floor areas comply with the Bressi Ranch Master Plan MP 178, and any impacts will not exceed those already anticipated by the EIR approved for the Master Plan (EIR 98-04). Environmental compliance is established by way of EIR 98-04, which is on file in the City of Carlsbad Planning Department. The project is in conformance with PI General Plan Designation, the P-M Zoning Ordinance and Bressi Ranch Master Plan. ViaSat intends to occupy the facilities with a combination of offices and engineering labs, and will operate multiple ground-mounted satellite antennas in an equipment yard screened by 19 foot tall architectural concrete walls. A Minor CUP per Section 21.34.020 of the CMC is required per Ord. 21.53.140 para. e.3.A for the operation of multiple satellite antennas in the PM zone. APPROVALS SOUGHT 1. The proposed project on Lots 10-13 requires a Planned Industrial Permit (PIP), a Non- Residential Planned Unit Development (PUD), a Special Use Permit (SUP) subject to the regulations of the Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone through the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards, a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) and a Minor Subdivision (MS) to adjust the interior property lines of lots 10-13. 2. The proposed signalized pedestrian crosswalk requires a public improvement permit for improvements in the public right-of-way. 3. The proposed improvements on ViaSat's Building 1 site are less than one acre and consist of revisions to pedestrian walkways, landscaping and parking lots, and require an amendment to SUP 98-03. SITE DESIGN: Lots 10-13 The site plan indicated is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, parking, loading, landscaping and other features required by CMC 21.34, in that the project site as designed will accommodate the two office buildings, and is consistent with the Bressi Ranch Master Plan parking standards, landscape requirements and other amenities required by the applicable City regulations and development standards. The building footprints and parking lot along Gateway Rd. exceed the minimum 35 ft. landscape setback, and encroach slightly into the 45 ft. setback (increase due to 45 ft. building height) but achieve a 45 ft. average setback. Certain site design features are key components of the proposed site plan. This project requests approval to deviate from the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards. Whereas buildings exceeding 35 ft. in height are required to provide a 300 ft. setback from El Camino Real to preserve scenic views, Building 10 is set back just 112 ft. Such proximity to El Camino Real is intended to reinforce the visual connection between the proposed buildings and ViaSat's campus across the street. As justification for the request, the Applicant notes that views from this section of El Camino Real have little scenic value worthy of preservation, and the building placement causes parking lots to be distributed around several areas ofthe site, resulting in narrower parking frontages along Gateway Rd. and El Camino Real. BUILDING DESIGN Buildings 10 and 11 are similar in design and will consist primarily of painted concrete tilt-up construction with smooth wall panels, stone tile accent features, and large green tinted window openings. Each building will be accented with stone veneer siding and feature wide cantilevered metal panel-clad canopies over the main entry ways. The proposed architectural and building design achieves a visual connection to ViaSat's existing five building campus located on the west side of El Camino Real directly across from the proposed site. The design mimics the basic forms and massing of the original campus buildings, yet creates an updated look by introducing larger metal panel-clad canopies with clad columns, introduction of curtain wall glazing at stair enclosures, large format limestone cladding and modernized paint colors. ^ DISCLOSURE Development Services STATEMENT Planning Division ^ CITY OF p -l/AX 1635 Faraday Avenue PARI ^RAD (760)602 4610 I—•JU/ALV www.carlsbadca.gov Applicant's statement or disclosure of certain ownership interests on all applications which will require discretionary action on the part ofthe City Council or any appointed Board, Commission or Committee.

Per SMA Section 66451.1, this time limit may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant and the city to allow for concurrent processing of related approvals or an environmental review of the project. By accepting applications for tentative parcel maps concurrently with applications for other approvals that are prerequisites to the map (e.g.. Environmental Information Form, Environmental Impact Report, Condominium Permit, Planned Unit Development), the 50-day time limit is often exceeded. For the city to process a tentative parcel map application concurrently, the property owner or applicant must sign this agreement. If this agreement is not signed, the city will accept the tentative paTcel map application only after all prerequisites to the map have been processed and approved.

CITY OF CARLSBAD Police Department www.carlsbadca.gov Date: October 21, 2013 To: Planning Tracking Desk- Planning Department From: J. Sasway, Carlsbad Police Department Subject: ViaSat Expansion - PUD 13-09/ MCUP 13-13/ SUP 98-03(C) / SUP 13-03 /MS 13-07 Plan Review Recommendations Carlsbad Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit has provided the following optimal security recommendations. The purpose ofthis document is to safeguard property and public welfare by regulating and reviewing the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures. The standards used in this document represent model international standards. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design The proper design and effective use ofthe built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life. The proper design influences this by positively affecting human behavior. The design includes the physical environment, the planned behavior of people, the productive use of space and an effective crime/loss prevention program. Natural Surveillance 1. Place and design physical features to maximize visibility. This will include building orientation, windows, entrances, walkways, landscape trees and shrubs, fences and any other physical obstruction. 2. Design the placement of persons, common areas or activities to maximize surveillance possibilities. 3. Design lighting that provides for appropriate nighttime illumination of walkways, entrances and driveways. Natural Access Control 1. Use walkways, pavement, lighting and landscaping to clearly guide guests to and from selected entrances. 2. Use real or symbolic barriers like fences or landscaping to prevent and or discourage access to or from dark and or unmonitored areas. 3. Used managed access on residential garage entrances, common doors and elevators. Provisions for territorial reinforcement V 2560 Orion Way, Carlsbad, CA 92010-7240 T 760-931-2100 F 760-931-8473 ® 1. Use pavement treatments, landscaping and fences to define and outline ownership or property. 2. Show clean transitions between public, semi-public and private (residential) space. Lighting 1. All types of exterior doors should be illuminated during the hours of darkness, with a minimum maintained one (1) foot-candle of light, measured within a five-foot radius on each side ofthe door at ground level. 2. Recessed areas of buildings or fences, which have a minimum depth of two feet, a minimum height of five feet, and do not exceed six (6) feet in width and are capable of human concealment, should be illuminated with a minimum maintained 0.25 foot-candles of light at ground level during the hours of darkness. This recommendation applies to defined recessed areas, which are within six feet of the edge of a designated walking surface with an unobstructed pathway to it, not hindered by walls or hedgerow landscaping a minimum of two (2) feet in height. 3. All exterior pedestrian walkways, interior common corridors, and open parking lots should be illuminated with a minimum maintained one (1) foot-candle of light on the walking or driving surface during the hours of darkness. 4. Overhead light poles should not be placed in an area planted with shade trees or other canopy producing species. Only basic ground cover, including but not limited to hedges and shrubs, should be used. 5. The parking and drive surface lighting should have a rated average bulb life of not less than 10,000 hours. 6. Accessible luminaries should have vandal resistant light fixtures and be not less than three feet in height from ground level when used to illuminate walkways and a minimum of eight feet in height from ground level when illuminating surfaces associated with vehicles. Light fixtures should be deemed accessible if mounted within fifteen feet vertically or six feet horizontally from any accessible surface or any adjoining roof, balcony, landing, treads, platform or similar structure. Landscaping 1. The basic landscaping theme should consist of low ground cover with a maximum height of 2 feet and canopy trees with a minimum lower canopy of 6 feet. 2. Overhead light poles should not be placed in an area planted with shade trees or other canopy producing species. Only basic ground cover, including but not limited to hedges and shrubs, should be used. 3. Use security landscaping in areas to deter loitering or entrance where pedestrians are not wanted. Addressing 1. Numerals should be located where they are clearly visible from the street on which they are addressed. They should be of a color contrasting to the background to which they are affixed. 2. Numerals should be no less than six inches in height, if located less than 100 feet from the centerline of the addressed street or 12 inches in height if placed further than 100 feet from the centerline ofthe addressed street. 3. The numerals should be illuminated during the hours of darkness. 4. The rear doors of all building should have address numbers not less than six inches in height and be of a color contrasting to the background to which they are affixed. 5. Buildings with a total square footage of at least 10,000 square feet should have rooftop numbers placed parallel to the addressed street, screened from public view and only visible from the air. The numerals are to be white, block lettered, constructed of weather resistant material, and placed against a black background. Address numbers are to be a minimum of four feet in height and 18 inches wide Doors 1. Use hollow steel doors that are a minimum sixteen (16) U.S. gauge and have sufficient reinforcement to maintain the designed thickness ofthe door when any locking device is installed. 2. Use only glass doors with fully tempered glass or rated burglary resistant glazing. Protect all exterior doors with security hardware. 3. Equip all doors with a latch cover constructed of steel. Ensure the latch cover is a minimum of .125 inch thick. Attach the latch cover to the outside by welding or with non-removable bolts spaced apart on not more than ten-inch centers. 4. Construct the jamb of all aluminum frame-swinging doors to withstand 1600 pounds of pressure in both a vertical distance of three inches and horizontal distance of one inch each side ofthe strike, to prevent violation ofthe strike. 5. Equip rear doors used for shipping and receiving and employee entrances with a viewer. 6. Equip a single or double door with a double cylinder deadbolt with a bolt projection exceeding one inch or a hook-shaped or expanding deadbolt that engages the strike sufficiently to prevent spreading. The deadbolt lock shall have a minimum of five-pin tumblers and a cylinder guard. Windows 1. Equip movable windows with security hardware and burglar resistant glazing. 2. Cover other vulnerable non-movable windows with burglar resistant glazing. Windows of commercial buildings are vulnerable to breakage during the hours of darkness when the business is non-operational especially windows within 40 inches of any door locking mechanism 3. Glaze should be constructed of either two part laminated glazing with a 0.60 inch inner layer or burglary resistant glazing Stairways 1. Interior doors should have glazing panels a minimum of five inches wide and 20 inches in height and meet requirements ofthe Uniform Building Code. 2. Areas beneath stairways at or below ground level shall be fully enclosed or access to them restricted. 3. Stair towers and elevators have been the highest risk for personal injury as they are typically enclosed. Stairways should be designed to be completely visible from either the interior or exterior or both, unless mandated by the Uniform Building Code to be enclosed. 4. Fully enclosed interior or exterior stairways with solid walls, when required, should have shatter resistant mirrors or other equally reflective material at each level and landing and be designed or placed in such a manner as to provide visibility around corners. Elevators 1. Elevator cabs with interiors that are not completely visible when the door is open from a point centered on and 36 inches away from the door, shall have shatter resistant mirrors or other equally reflective material so placed as to make visible the entire elevator cab from this point. 2. The elevator cab should be illuminated at all times with a minimum maintained two foot- candles of light at floor level. Roofs 1. All skylights on the roof of any building should be provided with rated burglary resistant glazing material securely fastened with bolts that are non-removable from the exterior. 2. All hatchway openings on the roof of any building should be secured as follows: a. If the hatchway cover is of wooded material, it should be covered on the inside with at least sixteen (16) gauge steel metal or its equivalent and attached with screws. 3. All air duct or air vent opening exceeding ninety-six (96) square inches on the roof, exterior doors, or exterior walls of any building should be secured by covering the same with the following: a. Iron bars of a least number four (4) steel or equivalent, spaced no more than five (5) inches apart on center, at each direction, welded at all point of intersection, or one by one-fourth (1 X %) inch flat steel or equivalent, spaced no more the five (5) inches apart on center, welded at all points of intersection. Alarm Systems 1. When considering an alarm system, the police department recommends a "verified system" in an effort to eliminate false alarm activations and increase breach detection. A verified system is verified through audio or visual components. 2. If considering electronic assess as a security feature, consider managed electronic access. This information is a representation of information gathered on a national level. The purpose is to provide effective and consistent information.

Engineering: Land Development Engineering has completed a review ofthe above-referenced project for engineering issues of concern. Engineering issues which need to be resolved or adequately addressed prior to staff making a determination on the proposed project are as follows: 1. Address redlined comments on attached site plan, civil plans and landscape plans. 2. Per the Storm Water Standards Questionnaire submitted for the work proposed on the Building 1 site west of El Camino Real, this work is categorized as a priority development project and is therefore subject to numerically sized treatment BMPs and hydromodification. Therefore, include required integrated management practices (IMPs) sizing calculations for this portion of the project, including the bus turn out and cross walk, in the SWMP. As alternative, if enough pervious instead of impervious pavement were used, the project may be subject to the less burdensome standard BMPs. Determine the net increase in impervious area and the earthwork quantities proposed on the Building 1 site and add this information to the site plan or as an attachment to the storm water questionnaire. Submit revised storm water questionnaire with next submittal. 3. Sign the attached redlined SWMP/Drainage Study. Parks and Recreation: 1. The set of plans for the 3rd review appears to be unchanged from the set of plans for the 1st review. Thus, my comments remain unchanged as well.

Please include the City's project numbers on future submittals, SUP 13-03/SUP 98-03(C)/PIP 13- 01/PUD 13-09/MCUP 13-13/MS 13-07. 2. Please submit an aeronautical study demonstrating that the proposed project has obtained an FAA Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation (FAA Part 77 Form). FAR Part 77 regulations require that anyone proposing to construct an object, which could affect navigable airspace around an airport, shall submit information about the proposed construction to the FAA. The FAA will then conduct an aeronautical study, the outcome of which is a determination as to whether or not the object would be a potential hazard to air navigation. 3. Please post a project sign on the property consistent with the early public notice procedures. Please address the following parking requirement issues: 4. a) Remove the Bressi Ranch Parking Calculation Table shown on Sheet Al. The BRMP does not have a separate parking standard. The project must comply with Chapter 21.44 (Parking) of the CMC. As a reminder, parking calculations are based on gross floor area which includes elevators, stairs and utility rooms. b) Confirm the proposed uses (i.e. manufacturing and/or lab) as "manufacturing" was identified on Sheet Al and "lab" was identified on Sheets A5, A7, and AIO. Each use has its own parking ratio that needs to be appropriately analyzed. RSiD (lab) requires the same number of off-street parking spaces as office at a ratio of one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area, whereas, manufacturing requires a parking ratio of one space per 400 square feet of gross floor area. c) Please correct the "required", "provided", and "compact" parking figures and totals as they were incorrectly calculated. The correct parking calculations are as follows: Office (1/250 SF) 111,042 SF = 444.16 rounded to 445 spaces (*see discussion below) Manufacturing (1/400 SF) 32,058 SF = 80.14 rounded to 81 spaces C^see discussion below) Total parking required: 445 + 81 = 526 spaces Total parking provided per Sheet Al "parking table": 543 spaces (miscounted) Total actual parking counted per Sheet A2: 534 spaces There is a discrepancy between the total number of parking spaces provided and the actual number of parking spaces counted. Please confirm the total number of parking spaces provided. As proposed, lots 10-13 have a surplus of 8 parking spaces (534 provided minus 526 required = 8 spaces). The 8 surplus parking spaces are based on the project's gross building area that includes both office and manufacturing uses. The parking calculations will need to be revised if the manufacture space is "lab use" as identified on pages A7 8i AIO. SUP 13-03/SUP 98-03(C)/PIP 13-01/PUD 13-09/MCUP 13-13/MS 13-07-VIASAT EXPANSION October 24, 2013 Page 4 The project exceeds the number of compact spaces allowed per Section 21.44.050(A) of the CMC. Up to 25% of the total required parking spaces may be compact spaces. Currently, 132 compact spaces are provided and only 131 (526 total spaces x 25% = 131 spaces) are allowed. These figures do not include the excess parking spaces (8 spaces) which have been designated as compact spaces on the site plan. •^Pursuant to Section 21.44.010 (C) of the CMC, when calculating the required number of parking spaces, if the calculation results in a fractional parking space, the required number of parking spaces shall always be rounded up to the nearest whole number; and pursuant to Section 21.44.020 (B) ofthe CMC, in the case of multiple uses in a building or on a lot, the total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately. d) Provide the parking requirements for Phase 2a within the parking calculation table. As shown on the site plan, the project lacks the total required number of parking spaces to allow Phase 2a to be constructed without constructing Phase 2b simultaneously. Phase 1 and 2a combined provide only 466 parking spaces while 526 parking spaces are required for the construction of both buildings 10 & 11. e) Are any vehicles used in the conjunction with the manufacturing use? Per Section 21.44.020 (Table A) ofthe CMC, one additional parking space is required for each vehicle used in conjunction with the use. Please clarify. f) Please verify the parking totals for lots 1-5 on the west side of El Camino Real as listed in the parking summary table on Sheet Al.l. Recent administrative approvals that included the elimination of parking stalls do not appear to be reflected in the parking summary table. The City recently approved a Minor Conditional Use Permit application (MCUP 13-11) for a satellite antenna enclosure located within lot 4's parking lot that included the removal of seven parking stalls. The approved site plan for MCUP 13-11 indicated a total of 227 remaining parking spaces as compared to the 240 parking spaces shown on Sheet Al.l. Furthermore, a separate Minor Conditional Use Permit application (MCUP 09-06) for a satellite antenna farm located within lot 2's parking lot included the removal of 26 parking spaces. This application was approved April 23, 2009 but the project was never constructed. It has since expired, however the City was recently informed by ViaSat's representatives that a new application for an identical project will soon be submitted. Please be advised that there may be insufficient parking to accommodate both the proposed project that eliminates parking on lot 1 and the renewal application for the satellite antenna farm (MCUP 09-06) without the approval of an alternative solution. 5. Please provide the maximum height of the proposed antennas. What percentage of the exposed antennas will be visible, if any? The proposed antenna enclosure must comply with Section 21.53.140(e)l ofthe CMC. Setback Issues: 6. Pursuant to Section 21.34.070 (l)b and (2)B of the CMC, the project requires a 45 foot average setback along Gateway Road and Campbell Place. This setback shall be entirely landscaped and irrigated. SUP 13-03/SUP 98-03(C)/PlP 13-01/PUD 13-09/MCUP 13-13/MS 13-07-VIASAT EXPANSION October 24, 2013 Page 5 a) Please relocate building 10 as it does not comply with the 45 foot average setback along Gateway Road. b) The parking stalls located between the drive-aisle and Campbell Place do not comply with the required 45 average setback (due to a 10 foot increase in building height) along this street. Please reconfigure the parking layout to comply with the setback requirement. c) As shown on Sheet A2 and noted within the Site Plan Legend, the parking stalls fronting to Gateway Road have been designed with overhang. Please redesign these parking stalls as overhang is not permitted into any required landscape setback pursuant to Section 21.44.050 (A) Table B ofthe CMC. 7. Change all references to proposed "lot numbers" to "parcel numbers". 8. Provide elevation drawings drawn to scale of the proposed trellis structures. 9. Show the designated location(s) for short and long term bicycle storage, racks, etc., on the site plan compliant with green building codes. Land Development Engineering; 1. Address redlined comments on attached site plan, civil plans and landscape plans. 2. Submit a separate Storm Water Standards Questionnaire for the work proposed on the Building 1 site west of El Camino Real. Determine the net increase in impervious area and the earthwork quantities proposed on the Building 1 site. 3. Submit a letter from a soils engineer addressing design recommendations for the bioretention facilities, especially as it relates to bioretention basin number 2 abutting building 10. 4. Address comments in attached redlined SWMP/Drainage Study. 5. Plot proposed dedication of street right-of-way for the bus turn out on El Camino Real. The project will be conditioned that the developer obtains approval from NCTD for the proposed design prior to approval of improvement plans. 6. Remove any trees proposed within a utility easement. 7. The project will be conditioned to enter into an encroachment agreement for the decorative pavement, shade structure(s), landscaping and irrigation or any other private structure proposed within any city or Carlsbad Municipal Water District Easement. 8. Clearly identify those amenities proposed in the El Camino Real right-of-way which will be privately maintained through a median maintenance agreement, including but not limited to, enhanced landscaping, shade structure(s), pedestrian crossing signal and related electrical conduit. SUP 13-03/SUP 98-03(C)/PIP 13-01/PUD 13-09/MCUP 13-13/MS 13-07-VIASAT EXPANSION October 24, 2013 Page 6 Transportation Division: 9. Address marked comments on attached L8 plan. 10. Consider modifying the median opening for pedestrians to minimize the possibility of attempted U-turns. 11. Clarify the plan for the cross-walk. If it is standard thermoplastic materials, it will be maintained by city forces. Any non-standard painted planks will be privately maintained through a median maintenance agreement. 12. Consider using directional ramps across Gateway Road to improve pedestrian safety. 13. Add a raised median in Gateway Road with a pedestrian break. 14. Add limit lines for all approaches since we are using decorative treatments for the crosswalks. 15. Consider relocating the signal structure for the southbound traffic closer to the crosswalk since there is no conflicting vehicle movements. 16. Consider introducing a curvilinear design along the walkway (i.e., it seems the path is too straight from the front door to the end point across ECR). Landscaping: Please advise the applicant to make the following revisions to the plans so that they will meet the requirements ofthe City of Carlsbad's Landscape Manual. Numbers below are referenced on the red line plans where appropriate for ease in locating the area of the comment concern. 1.
