SUBJECT: SDP 2017-0009 (DEV2017-0188}-CALLAWAY GOLF MAINTENANCE BUILDING-Request
for approval of a Minor Site Development Plan for the addition of a 900-square-foot, 17-
foot-tall golf maintenance building to the Callaway Golf Testing Facility. The 9.06-acre
property is currently developed with a two-story golf testing facility (APN 212-091-05,
5860 Dryden Place) and a 17-foot-tall golf maintenance building (APNs 212-091-04, 5825
Dryden Place). The proposed single-story maintenance building is proposed adjacent to
the existing maintenance building at 5825 Dryden Place. The property is located within
the .Carlsbad Airport Centre Specific Plan, SP 181(F). The property has a General Plan Land
Use and Zoning Designation of Planned Industrial, Pl and P-M, respectively. The site is
also located within Local Facilities Management Zone 5.
Dear Mr. Majors,
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Minor Site Development Plan, SDP 2017-
0009, located at 5825 Dryden Place. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this
request, the City Planner has made a decision pursuant to Section 21.06.070 of the City of Carlsbad
Municipal Code to APPROVE this request based on the following findings and subject to the conditions
listed below.
Findings:
1. That the proposed development or use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
master plan or specific plan, complies with all applicable provisions of Chapters 21.06 and 21.34
of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, as well as all other applicable provisions of this code in that the
project consists of the construction of a 900-square-foot, 17-foot-tall maintenance building
associated with the Callaway Golf Testing Facility. The project is consistent with the Carlsbad
Airport Centre Specific Plan, SP 181(F), and the Planned Industrial General Plan Land Use (Pl)
and Zoning (P-M) designations in that the maintenance building is a permitted ancillary use to
the primary use, the Callaway Golf Testing Facility. The maintenance building is also consistent
with the architectural guidelines of SP 181(F) in that it has a cement plaster finish and color
palette which complement the existing development. All roadways and improvements
necessary to serve the development exist, and no additional improvements are required. In
addition, the proposed golf maintenance building will not generate additional average daily
traffic trips (ADTs).

2. That the requested development o'(. 'qsfJ G pro~tr\ ;rdated to the site, surroundings and
environmental settings, will not be detrimental to· existing development or uses or to
development or uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed development or use
is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation in that
the proposed 900-square-foot golf maintenance building is located outside of the required
setbacks, is designed without metal siding, which is prohibited in SP 181(F), and is located in an
area that will be visually screened by surrounding vegetation at the perimeter of the property.
3. That the site for the intended development or use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the use in that the project complies with all development standards of the Planned Industrial
(P-M) Zone (Chapter 21.34 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) and the Carlsbad Airport Centre
Specific Plan, SP 181(F), including building coverage, height and setbacks. Additional parking is
not required as the storage building will be unoccupied and only used to store materials related
to the maintenance of the existing golf testing facility.
4. That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested development or use to existing or permitted future development or use in the
neighborhood will be provided and maintained in that the golf maintenance building does not
require the removal of any landscaping and the design is compatible with the existing golf-
related uses. In addition, the project is consistent with all other applicable development
standards of the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone and the Carlsbad Airport Centre Specific Plan.
Access to the site will continue to be provided by a private driveway off Dryden Place.
5. That the street system serving the proposed development or use is adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed use in that the proposed golf maintenance building will not
generate additional traffic ADTs.
6. The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the McClellan-
Palomar Airport (ALUCP), adopted January 25, 2010 and amended March 4, 2010, in that the
property is located within Zone 2-Inner Approach/Departure Zone of the Safety Compatibility
Policy Map. The proposed 17-foot-tall accessory structure does not exceed the height of
existing two-story golf testing facility and will not adversely impact flight operations at the
airport. In addition, the project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the ALUCP; and,
based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the ALUCP, the proposed land use is
compatible with the airport in that the accessory structure will be unoccupied and only be used
for storage purposes. In addition, the storage building will not be used for the storage or use
of hazardous materials.
7. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the state CEQA Guidelines. In
making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section
15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
8. The City Planner has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this
resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts
caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is
in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
