... The fact that Sunroad has not just one but at least three projects on the table, all with the same disregard for the FAA, city regulations or the law, is just more proof. And as for Montgomery Field - I work for Northrop Grumman on the border of the field. At least 6 months ago, a series of city reps and "consultants" came in to pitch to our brass the idea of buying the property on which the field is on. We weren't interested. So you tell me - how committed is the city to this airport? They have this property quietly on the block and the Sunroad deal is part and parcel of it. Gee Jerry - got a little mud on your face. You are dirty. I was stupid enough to vote you in once. Never again.

Steven Strauss of Cooley Godward Kronish also works for Manchester Financial on the Navy Broadway Complex. Mr. Strauss is the person who convinced the City Council that there has been no movement on the active Coronado Fault of the active Rose Canyon Fault Zone (RCFZ) since the "prehistoric time of the dinosaurs." Therefore, Manchester does not need to turn in a thorough fault investigation to the City Geologist or the California Coastal Commission. The Jurassic Period of the Dinosaurs was 208,000,000 to 144,000,000 years ago. According to a 10 News Investigation "The recently discovered Coronado Fault was active as recently as 500 years ago. It runs under Coronado and San Diego Bay and comes ashore in San Diego near Seaport Village, just south of the proposed complex." Scientist from USCD School of Engineering, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Caltrans, the Coastal Commission, the State Geologists and other all agree "public safety makes it imperative that the exact location of these youthful faults be mapped onshore prior to any development." Mr. Strauss of Cooley Godward Kronish does not have the safety of the public on his mind when he makes his statements of: Don't worry about it. There is no problem here.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN (ALUCP) POLICY DOCUMENTS - MARCH 2005 DRAFT.

 

 

         by Gail Goldberg. cc:  Tom Story - Chief of Staff Mayor's Office;  Tait Galloway - Planning.

         Within Compatibility Zone D, ALUC review is required for any proposed object taller than 70 (200-SD) feet above ground level.

         Zone D - Primary Traffic Patterns and Runway Buffer Area. Airspace review required for object 70 (100-SD) feet tall.

         Within Compatibility Zone D, generally there is no concern with regards to any object up to 70 (200-SD) feet tall.

         Existing Land Use. Height Restrictions. FAR Part 77. FAA Notification Strikeout Revision.

         Airport Influence Area - Primary areas consists of compatibility zone A through D.

         Review of net building floor area of 20,000 (50,000-SD) square feet or greater.

 

         I have before our group (Kearny Mesa Community Planning Board) now a proposal for comments on a 12 story 200,000 sf office building.

         This project is fortunately just inside the D Zone so only an airspace review is required for the height limitation.

         I have discussed these comments with some of the membership but please accept these as my personal comments.

         [Kearny Mesa Floor-Area Ratio (FAR) is 0.50 = 50 percent lot coverage.] 

 

        Ms. Lichman represents Sunroad property at Montgomery Field, Brown Field, and Lindbergh Field (SDIA).

        Sunroad is also developing a mixed use project at Montgomery Field, all of which is located in Zone D, currently comprised of 600

        multi-family units and one million square feet of commercial office space, in buildings ranging from 8 to 12 stories.

        For Noise Contours at Brown Field, use the operational data for Montgomery Field.

        Part 77 criteria for height. The March 2005 Draft ALUCP application of which results in radical height restrictions.

        Sunroad alone stands to lose the potential for hundred of housing units and acres of office development upon which years of time and

        hard-earned dollars have already been spent in planning, processing entitlements and making improvements.

        Sunroad request that the ALUC postpone its scheduled approval date.

        The March 2005 Draft ALUCP's Definition of "Existing Use" is Vague and Inconsistent. Vested rights.

        Safety cannot be an issue under the March 2005 Draft ALUCP's own analysis, as Zone D encompasses an area far outside that where the

        bulk of accidents are likely to occur.

        The ALUC's Safety Analysis and Restriction Impinge on the Realm Governed by FAA. Each sponsor of a project that meets the reporting

        criteria outline in Part 77 is required to notify the FAA's Air Traffic Division in writing of the proposed project and must provide

        specific information regarding construction dates, building design, building heights, construction... and any other information

        required by the FAA. Upon receipt of a Notice of Proposed Construction the FAA Air Traffic Division will forward the proposal to

        other FAA Divisions for their independent review. Further, FAA's Flight Standards Division is charged with ensuring that flight

        safety is not compromised by the placement of any structure or activity in an area that is not deemed to be consistent with the

        safe operation of aircraft and the preservation of life and property on the ground.  In short, if during its evaluation based on these

        many diverse local as well as Federal parameters that FAA determines that the project will impact the National Airspace System

        it will issue a Determination of Presumed Hazard.  Located in Zone D and a project be erected that is 70 feet tall and becomes a hazard.

        For example, while the building height criteria for Zone D in both the ALUCP and the DEIR require "airspace review for objects greater

        than 70 feet tall.

Gibbs, Ramsey Green, Lisa Gonzalez, Shawn Heacock, Laura Hein, Jay Hill, Larry Jackel, Steve Laub,  Meridith Marquis, Dan Munch, Carol Mundell, Michael K. Ryan, Linda Sawyer, Michael Suder, Laura Thornton, Kendra Van Note, John Wilhoit, Less Williamson, Joe Zulauf.  The meeting was brought to order at 12:02 PM by Chair Buzz Gibbs. A quorum was present.  The Sunroad 12 story Office Building project for “Substantial Conformance Review” was postponed to a future meeting at the request of the applicant.  This project will be presented at the next Land Use Subcommittee meeting on May 11th.  The Montgomery Field “Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan” (ALUCP) was presented by Terry Price, representing the City of San Diego Airports Division.  This again was an information only item.  Mr. Price presented the ALUCP even though the City did not create this plan.  The SDCRAA was not able to attend to present it.  The ALUCP creates different use zones that take into consideration noise, overflights and accident potential so that underlying land uses are compatible with the airport.  Included in specific areas are building restrictions, occupancy restrictions, uses and heights. The complete plan is available on the SDCRAA web page found at sdcraa.org

Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Kearny Mesa Planning Group 12:00 Noon, May 18, 2005.  Executive Committee Members Present::  Brad Black,  Buzz Gibbs, Joy Hagin, Carl Harry, Jim Johnson, Steve Kerch, Keith Keeter, Jim Omsberg, Dr. Mike Reilly,  Barbara Ryan, John Turpit, Richard Vernon, Jeff Williams. General Members and Guests:  Chris Cohen-Richards, Ryan Golizoski, David Hubbard, Patty Krebs, Steve Laub, Carol Mandell,  Meridith Marquis, Cheryl Robinson, Mike Ryan, Tom Scrugs,  Charlette Strong,  John Wilhoit, Joe Zulaug.  The meeting was brought to order at 12:03 PM by Buzz Gibbs who acted as chair of the meeting.  The Chair scheduled a Land Use Committee meeting for June 8 for a final review and recommendation on Fairfield Homes “Park View” industrial to mixed use project including 288 residential units and a 20,000 sf office on Kearny Villa Road and Aero Court.  At the same meeting the Sunroad Centrum 12 story office project at Kearny Villa Road and Spectrum Boulevard will be reviewed and a recommendation made also.  Both these projects will be voted on by the full group at the June 15 meeting.

Copies of the assessment letters from Development Services were distributed to the members so that all concerns and issues were known. Mr. Paul presented elevations and the circulation plan for this office building,  306,000 sf, on the corner of Spectrum Center Blvd. and Kearny Villa Road. The vehicle access will be from Spectrum Blvd. and Lightwave Ave. Parking will be one level below grade at the office and three levels of below grade parking immediately to the East.  The first phase will additionally provided for a temporary parking lot for 1200 cars directly to the East. The building façade’s are glass and limestone, the building floor plates are 25,000 sf. The building height will be approximately 170’.  Motion to approve the project was made by Steve Kerch, the motion was seconded, with discussion following a vote was taken. Vote 11-2-0.

        Numerous comments have been received in writing or offered at public meetings asking questions or making requests for modifications to the plan...

        Of all the issues that have been raised regarding the March 2006 Draft ALUCP, one of the most extensively debated has been the definition of "existing land use."

FLOOR-AREA RATIO (FAR)

 

The area of the Sunroad lot is 1.47 Acres or 64,033.2 square feet.

 

The plans show a total of 306,000 square feet for the building.

 

Floor-Area-Ratio (FAR) = 306,000 square feet / 64,033.2 square feet = 4.78.

 

According to the Municipal Code, the FAR for Kearny Mesa is 0.5.

 

(4.78) / (0.5) = 9.56 times or 956 percent over the Municipal Code for the FAR.

 

In addition to changes needed to conform to the building permit, the Floor-Area ratio for Kearny Mesa in the Municipal Code of 0.50. It has been 0.5 since 1992.  Also in the EIR for the New Century Center Master Plan, the overall Floor Area Ratio for the whole of the New Century Center redevelopment is 0.32 to 0.42. Of course, there is also the height limit of three stories for the retail area in the New Century Center Master Plan which was revised in 2002.

 

Since 1992, the Floor-Area Ratio (FAR) for all of Kearny Mesa is 0.50.  In the 1997 EIR for the New Century Center Master Plan, the overall FAR for the whole of the New Century Center redevelopment is 0.32 to 0.42.   Planning Area 1A (Retail/Entertainment – 3 Story height limit) was changed from Zone CA to Zone CC-1-3 when the Municipal Code was revised in 2000. Before and after the revision, the FAR was always, and still is, 0.50 for Kearny Mesa.  The height limit for Planning Area 1A is still 3 stories. The height limit for Zone CC-1-3 is 45 feet.

The area of the Sunroad lot is 1.47 Acres or 64,033.2 square feet. Under the EIR and the Municipal Code, the maximum area of the building should be 26,894 and 32,017 square feet, respectively. The plans show a total of 306,000 square feet for the building (not counting the Phantom Floor or the Penthouse/Utility Room).  The Sunroad building’s Floor-Area-Ratio (FAR) = 306,000 square feet / 64,033.2 square feet = 4.78.  According to the approved plans, the Sunroad building is currently (4.78) / (0.5) = 9.56 times or 956 percent over the Municipal Code for the FAR. Plus, Sunroad thinks they do not have to count the gross floor area of the two, mid-rise parking structures for the New Century Center Master Plan. According to the EIR, Master Plan, and Municipal Code they do have to count the gross floor area of the parking structure towards the aggregate square footage for whole New Century Center project. Between the FAR, the height limit, the Phantom floor, and the Penthouse/Utility room, four separate violations of the Municipal Code exist. This is not an accident; it is intentional collusion between Mayor Sanders’ administration and Sunroad.  And it is not over.

According to Structural Plans the building has a plan area for each floor of  269 feet by 122 feet = 32,818 square feet per floor minus area of 4,497.5 square feet =

= 28,320.5 Total Square Feet.  75 x 77 = 5775    Minus 36.5 x 35 = 1,277.5      = 5775 - 1,277.5 = 4,497.5   28,320.5 square feet per floor x 12 floors = 339,846 square feet in the Building Envelope.

The plans were missing several floors, so this information is not verified.  After a site visit, it looks like the maps we observed were confusing to read. The floor area is approximately 306,000.

The Building Permit is for 306,000 square feet for 12 floors = 306,000 square feet / 12 floors = 25,500 square feet per floor.

SOLUTION TO TOP 20 FEET.

 

From the bottom of the 12th floor to the top of the building is 28.06 feet, and the total height of the building is 179.31 feet.

Therefore, in order to meet the 160 height level the following needs to take place:

The penthouse/utility room and the architectural details on the top of the roof needs to be removed. Both the penthouse/utility room and the architectural details are 10.73 feet high. According to the Municipal Code, the penthouse/utility room and the associated Floor Area are considered a floor.  Removing the penthouse/utility room and the architectural details alone would put the building within 8.58 of the goal of 160 feet high  (179.31 - 10.73 = 168.58).

The 12th Floor is 17.33 feet high. According to the Municipal Code, at 15 feet of the 17.33 feet, a Phantom Floor and its associated floor area have to be added to the total.  If the roof of the 12th floor is removed and repositioned to a height of 8.33 feet, then the 160 foot maximum height would be achieved.

By following the Municipal Code, the Sunroad building is currently 14 stories and over 10 percent over the permitted floor area of 306,000.

Therefore, only the roof of the 12th floor (and all utility/architectural feature on the roof) needs to be removed and replace to make the 12th floor a height of 8.33 feet. Doing this work will also make the building only 12 stories high instead of 14 stories, and will bring the building back into conformance with the 306,000 square feet allowed by the building permit.

Municipal Code Definitions.  Chapter 11, Article 3, Division 1. 

< http://clerkdoc.sannet.gov/legtrain/mc/MuniCodeChapter11/Ch11Art03Division01>

 

Building envelope means the three-dimensional space within which a structure could be located as established by the applicable setbacks and maximum allowable structure height. See Section 113.0213 for additional information on determining a building envelope.

 

Floor means a horizontal, continuous, supporting, or nonsupporting surface of a structure.

 

Floor Area Ratio (FAR) means the numerical value obtained by dividing the gross floor area of all buildings on a premises by the total area of the premises on which the buildings are located.

 

Gross floor area means the sum of the horizontal square footage of all existing, proposed, and phantom floors of a building which may or may not be completely enclosed within the exterior surface of the surrounding exterior walls. See Section 113.0234 for additional information on calculating gross floor area.

 

Lot coverage means that portion of a lot that is occupied by buildings or structures that are roofed or otherwise covered or that are unroofed and have a finished floor that extends more than 3 feet above grade. Lot coverage is expressed as a percentage. See Section 113.0240 for additional information on calculating lot coverage.

 

Lowest floor means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area. An unfinished or flood-resistant enclosure that is usable solely for parking vehicles, building access, or storage is not considered a building’s lowest floor.

 

Roof deck means an enclosed or partially enclosed area, with or without an overhead structure, cover, or roof, that is located on a flat or relatively flat roof of a building. Any walled area erected exclusively to screen mechanical equipment is not a roof deck.

 

Roof eave means the lowest part of a roof that overhangs the wall below and from which rain would drain.

 

Roof line means the top edge of a roof or the top of the parapet, whichever is the higher elevation.

 

Story means the area between grade and finished floor, the area between finish-floor elevations or the area between the finish-floor elevation and the roof elevation. See Section 113.0261 for additional information on measuring story.

Sunroad Centrum

Another Swinerton project, Sunroad Centrum, is a 12-story structural steel, glass and stone skin system with architectural metal features on the building. The class-A office building has one level of underground parking and an adjacent six-story parking structure. When completed next June, the building will have 306,000 square feet of leaseable office space. One of the advantages Swinerton has in this $45 million project is the relationship with the architect and the owner. Swinerton also built the four-building Sunroad Corporate office complex in San Diego for Sunroad along with architect Brian Paul and Associates Inc. “We really fit hand-in-glove when it comes to coordination issues,” Adair says. “We know very well the owner expectations and what the architect expects us to bring to the table. They know we can prepare accurate budgets and schedules early in the design process based on our experiences together. Our past projects have been very successful, so why break up the continuity of a good team?” After regularly working with Brian Paul, Swinerton has learned to expect anything and everything in the architectural design of this architect’s buildings. “One thing we always know with a Brian Paul building is that there will be some critical interfaces between the finishes on the exterior of the buildings,” Adair says

 REAL ESTATE

Sunroad Enterprises will begin construction in October on a 1-million-square-foot, three-building Class A office park on the former General Dynamics site in Kearny Mesa. Sunroad Centrum will be on a 40-acre parcel within the 244-acre San Diego Spectrum business and residential community. It will include a retail component to service office users as well as residents of more than 1,500 new condominiums and apartments that exist or are being built on adjacent land. "Sunroad Centrum will be the largest and only office project of its kind in the mid-city area of San Diego," says Rick Vann, president of the real estate division of Sunroad Enterprises. "Our goal from the outset has been to meet the demand for high-image corporate office space." The first phase will offer about 300,000 square feet of office space in a 12-story reflective glass tower above one level of subterranean parking. An exercise gym with shower facilities, high-speed elevators and a 4/1000 parking ratio are among the building's features. Sunroad Centrum is designed by Brian Paul & Associates. All three office towers and two free-standing parking structures will surround a landscaped quad area with water features. Burnham Real Estate has been selected as the listing broker, and will be represented by Mark Wayne, Dan Runyon and Eric Vann. For information call (858) 452-6500. Completion of the first phase building is expected in the first quarter of 2007. Construction start dates for the second and third phase buildings, with 14 and 16 stories, respectively, have not been announced, and will follow based on lease up of the previous buildings. "This project is well timed to meet the growing demand for Class A space in central San Diego," says Runyon, senior v.p. with Burnham Real Estate.

REAL ESTATE

Sunroad Enterprises says steel has been ordered and ground has been broken on the first phase of Sunroad Centrum, a master-planned, 1-million-square-foot Class A office campus located within the 232-acre Spectrum business and residential community in Kearny Mesa. Sunroad Centrum I features a 12-story, state-of-the-art tower with 300,000 square feet of space. The project will create more than 400 new San Diego construction jobs. More than 2,300 tons of steel have been ordered for the tower at a cost of about $6 million. The first steel beams will be erected in June and completion of the tower is expected by June 2007.  "This project represents a milestone not only for Kearny Mesa but for the San Diego office market at large," says Rick Vann, president of the real estate division of Sunroad Enterprises. "Sunroad Centrum will be the largest and only office project of this caliber in the mid-city area." Vann says Sunroad Enterprises is entitled to build 600 multifamily units on the eastern-most portion of the site, with construction expected to start in early 2007. There are about 1,000 residential units already located within Spectrum.

Sunroad Centrum is being built on a 25-acre site fronting Highway 163 and Kearny Villa Road. Two additional high-rise towers are planned, one 350,000 square feet and the other 400,000 square feet. All three office towers and two free-standing parking structures will surround a landscaped quad area.  The project was designed by Brian Paul & Associates.
