A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Item No.
Application complete date: June 25, 2012
P.C. AGENDA OF: October 3, 2012 Project Planner: Pam Drew
Project Engineer: David Rick
SUBJECT: CUP 260(D) - PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION – Request for a
recommendation of approval of a Conditional Use Permit Amendment and a
retroactive ten year extension to allow the: 1) expansion of the existing transfer
station tipping bay structure; 2) collection of universal waste; and 3) collection of
home-generated sharps needles on a site located on the east side of Orion Street
between Faraday Avenue and El Camino Real and within in Local Facilities
Management Zone 5.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of a retroactive ten year extension of CUP 260, based upon
the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
This project involves a request for physical and operational changes to the existing Palomar
Transfer Station (PTS) and a retroactive ten-year extension for the Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). The proposed physical change is for a 3,960 square foot addition on the east side of the
existing tipping bay (unloading bay). The proposed bay, or tipping floor, will be used to handle
green waste and construction and demolition material (C & D). This material is already being
dropped off at the PTS; however, by providing the additional tipping bay for exclusive use by the
green waste and C & D, cross mixing of recyclable and non-recyclable materials is nearly
eliminated.
The operational changes include the collection of universal waste (i.e. computer monitors and
other electronic devices) and the collection of residential home-generated sharps needles (i.e.
hypodermic needles and other devices that are used to penetrate the skin for the delivery of
medications). These drop-off areas are located adjacent to, and south of, the existing buy-back
center located south of the entrance to the PTS.
The project also includes a request to extend the amended CUP for ten (10) years. Because the
current CUP expired during the processing of this proposed project, any extension of time would
be retroactive from March 4, 2012 (the date on which CUP 260(C) expired). The application
was submitted on October 25, 2011 and was deemed complete on June 25, 2012. The processing
timeframe was extended due to revisions to the site plan.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Background
The PTS was originally permitted on this site in 1977, and there have been various extensions
and amendments (including a new permit number) granted for the facility since that time. The
proposed changes and uses require approval of a CUP Amendment. Typically, CUPs are
decided by the Planning Commission; however, this project requires City Council approval
pursuant to the related franchise agreement. There are no unresolved issues associated with the
proposed project.
Physical Change
The physical change is for a proposed building expansion to the east and adjacent to the existing
tipping floor to add 3,960 square feet of tipping floor area. This area is intended to be utilized
for green waste and C & D waste. Currently, the existing tipping floor is used for municipal
solid waste (MSW), green waste and C & D materials. Although there are two load-out areas for
the transfer trucks, green waste and C & D must be separated and isolated from the MSW until
an appropriate transfer truck is available for off-site transport. During this time, the green waste
and C&D material is moved around the tipping floor area to allow for the MSW to be pushed
into the transfer load out areas. This constant movement of the green waste and C & D is an
inefficient use of time and equipment. With the new building expansion, the green waste and C
& D material will be deposited in a separate bay until the appropriate transfer truck arrives for
off-site transport. This will eliminate multiple movements of the material and decrease the
chance of comingling of the MSW with the green waste and C & D material.
The proposed tipping floor will be the same height and materials as the existing tipping floor
structure. The height varies from 26 feet at the north end of the building to 41 feet at the south
end of the building due to topography. The outside material will be tan metal panels to match
the existing building. A poured concrete retaining wall is also proposed due to the downward
slope of the site on the southeast side of the existing structure. The retaining wall will also serve
as part of the building structure and will be a maximum height of 17 feet.
The proposed tipping floor will provide for an opening accessible to the existing tipping floor
and the proposed expansion tipping floor to allow for the green waste and C & D materials to be
pushed from the expansion area into one of the two available transfer load out areas at the rear of
the existing building. The tipping floor for the expansion area will be at the same elevation as
the existing tipping floor to allow for easy movement to the transfer load out bays. The building
expansion will not increase the current allowable tonnage or change the hours of operation.
To provide some visual relief from the proposed building expansion, 16, 24 inch box cassia
leptophyla trees are proposed along the northeastern hillside between the perimeter fence and
Faraday Avenue to shield the existing and proposed structures from Faraday Avenue. The
project will require issuance of a Grading Permit. Grading volumes for the project are
anticipated to be 1,500 cubic yards of import with approximately 500 cubic yards of remedial.
To reduce odor at the PTS, the MSW and green waste is removed from the site on average every
20 to 30 minutes by a transfer truck and hauled to a landfill in Otay Mesa. The maximum length
CUP 260(D) – PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION
October 3, 2012
Page 3
the MSW and GW are allowed to stay on the floor is 24 hours except Sunday, which is a
maximum of 48 hours. In addition, there are chemicals on site that periodically get added to the
water for the misting system, which suppresses odor and dust.
Operational Changes
In addition to the physical changes to the PTS, operational changes are proposed with this CUP
amendment, to add collection of universal waste and home-generated sharps needles. The
universal waste to be collected includes video display devices, computer monitors, florescent
light tubes, and other electronic devices as permitted under the PTS’s California State permit
(CalRecycle). The electronic waste is stored in a covered 20’ x 10’ x 10’ metal container located
to the south of the existing buy-back center. Universal waste is picked up by various universal
waste contractors to an off-site processing center for dismantling when needed or every 365 days
from date of first accumulation, whichever comes first. Trucks are generally flatbed type and/or
54 foot semi types. Sharps needles are picked up by Waste Management Healthcare Solutions
group when needed but at least every 30 days. Waste Management Healthcare Solutions group
uses vans, box trucks and semis to collect the needles.
The home-generated sharps needles are dropped off by local residents only (no commercial or
medical operations) and stored in two locked 96 gallon bio-waste containers. The County of San
Diego Department of Environmental Health, Hazardous Materials Division has approved a
Home-Generated Sharps Consolidation Point permit.
These operational changes have also been included in the Buy Back Center Operation Plan. This
Plan provides a comprehensive record of the details for the operation of the Buy Back Center
including hours of operation, acceptance procedures, unacceptable waste identification, facility
security, staffing, safety, training, maintenance, contingency plans and emergency plans.
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following regulations and requirements:
A. City of Carlsbad General Plan Planned Industrial (PI) designation;
B. Industrial (M) Zone regulations (Chapter 21.32 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code);
C. Conditional Use Regulations (Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code);
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan; and
E. Growth Management Regulations (Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code).
The recommendation for approval for this project was developed by analyzing the project’s
consistency with the applicable city regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with
each of the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. General Plan
Staff has analyzed the proposed project for consistency with the city’s General Plan. Staff has
concluded that the project is consistent with the PI General Plan designation as discussed in
Table 1, below.

B. Industrial (M) Zoning
The existing PTS is permitted in the M (Industrial) zone subject to approval of a Conditional Use
Permit. Because there is no residentially zoned property adjacent to the transfer station, there are
no setback requirements or building placement requirements/restrictions that apply to the project.
The PTS, as modified by this amendment, would remain in compliance with all applicable
requirements of the M zone as demonstrated in Table 2, below.

C. Conditional Uses
Conditional uses such as the existing transfer facility possess unique and special characteristics
which make it impractical to include them as permitted uses “by right” in the various zoning
districts. Staff has reviewed the proposed CUP Amendment and has concluded that the
necessary findings can be made as discussed in detail in Table 3, below.
CUP 260(D) – PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION

TABLE 3 – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
FINDING PROJECT CONSISTENCY
That the requested use is necessary or desirable
for the development of the community, is
essentially 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.
The requested uses are necessary and
desirable for the community, in that
segregating household waste and sharps
needles from the main stream of waste is a
benefit for the health and safety of the
community and environment.
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.
The project site is surrounded by areas zoned
for open space or industrial uses. Much of the
surrounding area is undeveloped. The
developed sites contain industrial type uses
(e.g., the CMWD office and equipment
storage yard, Safety Center, etc.). Therefore,
the facility is not detrimental to any existing
uses or permitted uses in the area.
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.
All proposed structures and uses can be
accommodated within the existing site
boundaries.
That the street system serving the proposed use
is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use.
No additional traffic will be generated with
the proposed project. The street system
serving the facility is adequate to properly
handle all existing traffic.
The adopted project findings for CUP 260(C), which are contained in Planning Commission
Resolution No. 5800, still apply to this project (CUP 260(D)) including an update to Finding No.
7 to state the project is consistent with the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan (ALUCP) as amended March 4, 2010.
The adopted project conditions for CUP 260(C), which are contained in Planning Commission
Resolution No. 5800, still apply to this project (CUP 260(D)) with the exception of Condition
No. 14, which is not applicable, Condition No. 18, which is replaced by Condition No. 4 in
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907, Condition No. 25, which is replaced by Condition
No. 3 in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907, Condition No. 27, which is no longer
applicable given the requirements of the current ALUCP, is replaced with Condition No. 5 in
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907, and Conditions No. 38 40, 42, 46, 49 and 53, which
are no longer applicable as they have been satisfied.

That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is
essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and
is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is located, in that the transfer station use provides a needed service for
the community by storing collected trash for more efficient transfer to disposal sites;
the use is located on a site designated by the General Plan for industrial (PI) uses
and zoned for industrial (M) uses; the project site is surrounded by areas zoned for
open space or industrial uses; and the surrounding developed sites contain industrial
and governmental uses.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the proposed expanded site will adequately accommodate all proposed grading
and construction activities and all anticipated expanded facility activities including
bin storage, parking, and internal circulation requirements, while providing 194
parking spaces (more than the required 181 spaces) and providing screening of the
internal facility activities.
That all the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to
adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained, in that the proposed modifications to the facility would
occur within the proposed CUP boundaries, thus requiring no additional
adjustments, and a new chain link fence and perimeter landscaping (including
vegetated berms), will enclose the new parking/bin storage area, and no other new
yards, fences, or other features are needed to accommodate the use to the area.
That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the surrounding streets can accommodate all traffic
(1,045 ADT) expected to be generated by the use; and the project design includes the
widening of Orion Street and the addition of curb, gutter, and sidewalk; and two new
project entrance lanes will be provided on the project site to ensure that any queuing does
not negatively impact the function of Orion Street; and, the developer will be required to
pay traffic impact fees.
The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan based on the facts set
forth in the staff report dated December 1, 2004 in that the project site has a PI
General Plan designation and M zoning and the existing use (a trash transfer
station) is an allowed use in the PI designation and a conditionally allowed use in the
M zone and the proposed amendment (an extension of the existing use) is also
consistent with the allowed uses on the site.

The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 5 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
a.
b.
C.
the project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities;
the Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of building permit; and
Park fees of $.40/square foot are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter
20.44, and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport, dated April 1994, in that as conditioned, the applicant shall
record a notice concerning aircraft noise. The project is compatible with the projected
noise levels of the CLUP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the
CLUP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that all conditions of
approval required by the Airport Land Use Commission have been incorporated
into this resolution.
That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from
the Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and
implementation program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and
provide for effective protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while
continuing to allow compatible development in accordance with Carlsbad's Growth
Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife habitats and sensitive species is required by
the Open Space and Conservation Element of the City's General Plan which provides for
the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and environmental benefits from the
preservation of open space within an increasingly urban environment. Moreover, each
new development will contribute to the need for additional regional infrastructure that, in
turn, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu Mitigation Fee imposed on
all new development within the City is essential to fund implementation of the City's
Habitat Management Plan.
The Planning Commission 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.
