SfAFF REPORT ®
DATE: JUNE 17, 1992
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: SOP 92-4 -PENTON OVERSEAS -Request for a site development plan to
develop an 11,556 square foot office/warehouse building on the north side
of Impala Drive in the M-Q Zone in Local Facilities Management Zone 5.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3412
APPROVING SDP 92-4, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a site development plan to allow the construction
of a two-story, 11,556 square foot office/warehouse building on a previously graded
industrial lot in the M-Q zone. The 2.54 acre site located on the north side of Impala Drive
requires minimal grading to accommodate the development. The proposed structure is set
back a minimum of 68' from the property line and within this area, a 15' -25' landscaped
front setback has been provided in addition to a 20' wide planter at the building front. A
24' -40' wide driveway and aisle provide access to the projects 28 parking spaces and
loading areas. The structure consists of a combination of gray aggregate and painted
concrete with green reveals and tinted windows. The required outdoor eating area has
been provided north of the structure along the top of the slope enabling employees to
enjoy the view of the Agua Hedionda Creek Valley below.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
Can the findings required for a Site Development Plan be made? Namely,
A. Is the proposed development: properly related to the site, surroundings, and
environmental settings; consistent with the various elements and objectives of the
general plan; and designed so that no adverse impact to the site, surroundings or
traffic circulation shall be created;

•
B. Is the site intended for development adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
proposal;
C. Will all of the setbacks and necessary amenities to accommodate an industrial
development be provided and maintained;
D. Is the street system serving the proposed development adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed development;
E. Is the proposed project consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for
McClellan Palomar Airport?
DISCUSSION
Relation to Site and Surroundings/General Plan Consistency
As stated previously, the proposed project consists of an 11,556 square foot industrial
building with the associated parking, circulation, landscaping, and outdoor eating area
amerutles. The project relates well to surrounding development since the proposed
architecture and site layout are very similar. The parcel is constrained by steep slopes to
the north and east, and the proposed development does not encroach beyond the existing
buildable pad into any slope areas.
The proposed office/warehouse project is consistent with the parcel's Planned Industrial
General Plan designation. Additionally, the project complies with the M Zone development
standards, and all other applicable ordinances. The project complies with or exceeds the
following development standards:

Adequacy of Size and Shape of Site
•
Although approximately 66% of the 2.54 acre site is constrained by 1:5:1 slopes, the
remainder of the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the project. As
previously described, there is adequate area within the unconstrained portion of the site
to accommodate the proposed development including parking, onsite circulation, employee
eating area, truck loading areas, and landscaping.
Yards, Setbacks, Landscaping, and Amenities
The proposed development meets or exceeds all applicable requirements regarding setbacks,
landscaping, parking spaces, and employee eating areas. The proposed 15' -25' front
setback and 1 O' side yard setback provided is consistent with surrounding development, and
landscaping around the perimeter of the site and structure provides visual relief and
enhances the project. The rear of the structure is set back a minimum of 10' from the top
of the slope. This setback is entirely landscaped and includes the required outdoor eating
area. Parking is provided along the western side of the lot where it is screened by the
adjacent and proposed buildings and front setback landscaping. The proposed architecture
is consistent with the surrounding development through the use of exposed aggregate and
tinted windows. The proposed loading door and bay are concealed along the eastern
portion of the structure by an existing 1.5:1 slope and slope landscaping at the
southeastern comer of the site. Proposed circulation aisle widths of 24' -40' are adequate
to handle onsite circulation.
Adequacy of Street System
The project is served by Impala Drive and Palmer Way which operate at acceptable levels
and are adequate to accommodate the additional 102 average daily trips the project will
generate.
Airport Land Use Consistency
Although the project falls within the Airport Influence Area regulated by the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport, it does not fall
within any clear zone, flight activity zone, or area with excessive noise levels where uses,
building height, and noise levels are restricted. The proposed warehouse and office uses
and 25' high structure are therefore consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
IV. GROWfH MANAGEMENT
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 5 in the northeast
quadrant. The impacts on public facilities created by this project and compliance with the
adopted performance standards are summarized below:

The Planning Director has determined that the environmental impacts of the project have
already been considered in the original issuance of a Negative Declaration on July 20,
1981, in which grading to accommodate the development of an industrial-office complex
consisting of 15 industrial and office buildings on a 32 acre site was reviewed. The
proposed development is located within this industrial-office complex and the Planning
Director has determined that conditions supporting the Negative Declaration have not
changed; therefore, no additional environmental review will be required, and a notice of
determination will be filed.
