P.C. AGENDA OF: April 16, 2014
Application complete date: February 18, 2014
Project Planner: Chris Garcia
Project Engineer: Jason Geldert
SUBJECT: CUP 14-01 -5 TOOL ATHLETICS -Request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow 5 Tool
Athletics to operate a baseball training facility in a vacant 10,572 square foot suite
located within an existing office/industrial building on property located at 2245 Camino
Vida Roble, in the P-M Zone and in Local Facilities Management Zone 5. The City
Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301, "Existing Facilities," of
the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the
environment. A Notice of Exemption shall be filed with the County Clerk upon approval
of this project.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7038 APPROVING CUP 14-
01 for a period of 10 years, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
This application is a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a baseball training facility to operate in
a vacant 10,572 square foot suite (Suite 104/105) within an existing office/industrial building on
property located at 2245 Camino Vida Roble, in the P-M Zone. The business does not have an approved
Conditional Use Permit, but has been operating since July 2013. Only minor tenant improvements are
proposed for this project and there are no proposed improvements to the exterior of the building. The
General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Planned Industrial (Pl) and the Zoning designation for
the site is Planned Industrial (P-M). The building consists of a mix of office and industrial, with some
vacant space.
According to the project description, 5 Tool Athletics is a premier training facility catering to baseball
players ranging in age from 5 to 18 years old, but available to athletes of all ages and abilities. The
facility provides one-on-one and team training that covers many of the needs for young baseball players.
The warehouse area is utilized as a training area complete with five batting cages, two pitching lanes,
and 1,000 square feet for fitness and weight training. The facility has a maximum capacity to work with
50 players at one time. The training instructors work with players either one-on-one or up to eight
players at a time. The hours of operation are 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm Monday -Friday and 9:00 am to 2:00
pm Saturday and Sunday. The peak hours of operation are between 5:00 pm and 8:00pm Monday -
Thursday.
All activities are held indoors, with no loud music playing. The walls between the suites are concrete,
which significantly reduces noise impacts on adjacent users. Additionally, the suite to the west is being
used for warehouse purposes.

Ill. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, standards, and policies:
A. Planned Industrial (Pl) General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.34);
C. Parking Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.44);
D. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.42); and
E. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90).
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency
with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above
regulations is discussed in the sections below.
A. General Plan Compliance (Planned Industrial Land Use Designation)
The site has a General Plan Land Use designation of Planned Industrial (Pl) and the project complies with
the General Plan. Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element, Industrial Implementing Policy C.9, states
the following: "Include provisions in the Planned Industrial (P-M) zone for ancillary commercial/retail,
office, places of worship, recreational, and other service uses. These include, but are not limited to,
commercial/retail services which are accessory to the primary use, conference facilities, churches,
daycare centers, recreational facilities, educational facilities and short-term lodging". The baseball
training facility is considered a physical conditioning business as well as a recreational facility and is
allowed by a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the Planned Industrial zone.
B. Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.34)
The proposed project site is zoned Planned Industrial (P-M) and is therefore subject to the provisions of
Chapter 21.34 of the Zoning Ordinance. Physical conditioning businesses and recreational facilities are
permitted in the P-M Zone subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed baseball
CUP 14-01-5 TOOL ATHLETICS
April 16, 2014
Page 3
training facility wiH occupy existing suites and does not propose any additions or exterior improvements
to the existing building. Parking compliance is discussed in section C below.
C. Parking Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.44}
The parking lot for the project site has 183 parking spaces, or 1 space per 381 square feet of building
space. Based upon the required parking ratio of 1 parking space per 200 square feet for a gym (the
closest land use to a training facility/physical conditioning business), the use requires 53 parking spaces.
The remaining building occupancy is comprised of office, research and development and
warehousing/storage. All of the uses together, including the baseball training facility, require a total of
163 spaces. Therefore, there will be a surplus of 20 parking spaces. Future tenant improvements
and/or new uses proposed for vacant suites on the site will be evaluated for parking compliance prior to
issuance of a building permit or business license.
D. Conditional Use Permit Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.42)
The proposed project is a use which is allowed in the Planned Industrial Zone (P-M) subject to the
approval of a CUP. Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires that four findings be made in
order to approve a conditional use permit. All of these findings can be made for this project as
discussed below:
1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is
in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including, if applicable,
the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the proposed baseball
training facility will provide specialty baseball training beyond typical team practice sessions
for players ranging from 5-18 years old and is located near the Bressi Ranch, La Costa Greens
and Aviara communities. Furthermore, per Industrial Implementing Policy C.9 of the General
Plan Land Use Element, recreational facilities and physical conditioning businesses are
compatible land uses in the Pl land use designation and are conditionally permitted in the
implementing P-M zone.
2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the
zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed baseball training facility is
compatible with the surrounding office/industrial park and residential uses and the proposed
use will provide adequate parking that is consistent with the city's parking requirements. The
existing site has been designed to accommodate all required parking on-site and provides for
adequate traffic circulation. Furthermore the baseball training facility is proposed to be
located within an existing building and only tenant improvements to the interior are required
for the use.
3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning
commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in
that the baseball training facility will occupy 10,572 square feet of an existing building with
existing onsite landscaping and parking and requires no site alterations or additional
amenities. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the required development standards
of the P-M Zone and the proposed 10,572 square foot space is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed baseball training facility operations, as shown on Exhibits "A-D."
CUP 14-01 -5 TOOL ATHLETICS

The baseball training facility requires 53 parking spaces. Including the training facility, the
property has an excess of 20 parking spaces for all existing uses and therefore meets all
parking requirements.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the project is provided access from Camino Vida Roble,
a secondary arterial street which is currently operating at an acceptable level of service. The
390 average daily trips associated with this proposed baseball training facility can be
accommodated by the existing street system.
E. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90)
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 5 in the southwest quadrant of
the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted
performance standards, are summarized in Table B below:
