J. Massman, Director of Transportation County of San Diego 5555 Overland Avenue San Diego, Calif. 92123 SUBJECT: Rezone and Conditional Use Permit, Palomar Airport Submitted herewith are applications for rezone and Conditional Use Permit covering 268 acres of property and the existing facilities of Palomar Airport. The applications are submitted pursuant to Board of Supervisors action #7, November 28, 1979, copy attached. These applications are submitted in accordance with Board of Supervisors Policy F-20, copy attached. This policy requires that County staff consult with planning agencies within whose jurisdiction the County facility is located and give appropriate consideration to normal zoning and improvement requirements of those agencies. As you know, prior to annexation of Palomar Airport by the city this property was zoned County M-2 and the airport was operated under County Special Use Permit P77-73. The city zoning of L-C placed on the airport at the time of annexation is not appropriate to the airport function. The development of a mutually acceptable Conditional Use Permit is appropriate to airport operation and the future development of existing airport property. These applications deal with the existing airport only. They do not include expansion as proposed in the Palomar Airport Master Plan. Per previous County/Carlsbad staff discussions there are a number of statutory requirements with respect to the proposed expansion under the master plan which have yet to be completed. Pending final decision as to whether or not expansion is to proceed the land use status of the existing airport should be resolved, with future amendment if the expansion plan is implemented. Director of Planning City of Carlsbad -2- December 3, 1979 Attached for your information is a summary of normal land uses which exist or can be expected at Palomar Airport. The Conditional Use Permit should include these uses and permit the construction of new facilities and modification of existing facilities for these uses subject to normal building permit process. Reference the attached Property Record Drawing, future develop- ment of Parcels 78-09436, 77-02068, 77-0207A, 71-0936A, and 79-12358 is anticipated. These parcels are not leased at present. If development of any unleased parcel is proposed in the future for a use not presently identified, additional land use actions would be required. As noted on the Plot Plan, the parcels south of Palomar Airport Road may be utilized for non-aviation purposes in the future. A motel/recreation center development on Parcel 78-1234A is currently under consideration and has been the subject of separate correspondence to your office. The County Animal Shelter is an existing non-aviation use on airport property south of Palomar Airport Road. All other parcels at Palomar are on existing long-term aviation leases which allow lessees to undertake additional construction and/or modification of existing structures for permitted uses. Phil Safford, Palomar Airport Manager, is designated as Department of Transportation contact point for the processing of these applications. vector of Transportation RJM: PRS : bw Attachments (2) 4 JJNTY OF SAN mtCO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION R J MASSMAN Director -.- Bldg 2. 5555 Overland Ave Son Diego,Co,iforn,o 92,13 Offices of COMMUNITY SERVICES AGENCY County Engineer 6 Rood Commissioner County Surveyor Counfy Airports Telephone: (714) 565-5177 November 9, 1979 TO: Board of Supervisors (A451 FROM: Director of Transportation (0320) SUBJECT: Local Zoning Requirements, Palomar Airport As a result of the annexation of Palomar Airport by the City of Carlsbad consideration of local zoning requirements of the city with respect to operation and development of existing airport land is necessary. Prior to annexation the airport was operated under a County Special Use Permit with M-2 Industrial zoning. Pre-annexation zoning of airport property by the city changed County M-2 to City LC. The Carlsbad Planning Director has now suggested that County request rezone to M Industrial and obtain an airport conditional use permit from the city. Staff believes that this action is appropriate to the future operation and development of the airport and is consistent with Board Policy F-20, which requires staff to consult with local planning agencies, give appropriate consideration to the normal zoning and improvement requirements, and conform with reasonable requirements. It is my RECOMMENDATION: that your Board 1. Authorize the Director of Transportation to submit appropriate applications .to the City of Carlsbad for rezone and conditional use permit for Palomar Airport. Board of 2. Supervisors -2- November 9, 1979 Direct that a report containing staff recommendations with respect to Conditional Use Permit, as proposed by the City of Carlsbad, be submitted to your Board for review and approval. Discussion: The recommended actions with respect to local zoning should facilitate coordination of future County and City actions relating to new development and improvement of existing facilities on Palomar Airport. Although, in general, County is not legally bound by the requirements of local planning agencies, as noted in Board Policy F-20, the nature of airport development by private investors under County land lease is unique. to such lease development is appropriate. construction projects, on the other hand, require different considerations. County/City agreement on procedures relative County or FAA Staff is presently formulating and will shortly docket recommendations with respect to actions required precedent to the proposed addition of a second runway at Palomar under the Master Plan. Local zoning requirements and general plan amendment are among the considerations which will be addressed. If the second runway project receives all necessary local, FAA and State approvals, amendment to the conditional use permit will be required in the future. In view of the indeterminate schedule for completion of the approval process, however, staff believes that clarification of land use requirements for the existing airport should be undertaken at this time. __ MASSMAN ector of Transportation CONCURRENCES : Ruben Dominguez, ACAO Reviewed tjyy'-' hot needed3 / Counsel r/l - Purchasing @ -- - Board of Supervisors -3- November 9, 1979 FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT Program: Airports There are no direct costs associated with this action.

Background I i The specific use of a County facility in a specific geographic location has a particular impact on the community in which it is located. Facilities providing a social service are of interest not only to tke entire County, but are of special concern to the residents of the areiis in which they are located.

Policy It 1. 2. 3. is the policy of the Board of Supervisors that: County staff will consult with jurisdictioz the proposed facility is to be located and will give zppropriate consideration to the normal zoning and improve- ment requirements of those activities in formulating its recorn- Eendations for the proposed facility.
