SUBJECT: CD2019-0007 (DEV2018-0203}-VICTORY CARLSBAD OAKS INNOVATION CENTER LOT 4
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for CD2019-0007 (APN: 209-120-03), which
is a modification to SDP 2018-0023, a request for development of a light industrial shell building totaling
50,150 square feet.
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of
the findings below and APPROVES this request. The proposed modifications include:
• Modification to grading and addition of retaining walls to accommodate the addition of 24
parking spaces
• Modification to exterior building colors
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings
must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function in that all essential components of the
project remain as originally approved.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the modification proposes
more muted exterior colors which reduces the appearance of building mass. The increase in the
number of parking spaces allows for a broader range of businesses to operate on the site and
thus strengthens the economic vitality in the surrounding area.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property in that the
lot shape and size or building area do not change.
4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit in that the proposed uses do not change.
5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development.

6} The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code in that the proposed building footprint or height do not change.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation.
BJ The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9} There were not any major issues or controversies·associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10} The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based o'n Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact your project planner, Esteban
