A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE

AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE
GENERAL PLAN FROM RM/O TO C ON 6.7 ACRES OF
PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE
OF EL CAMINO REAL AND NORTH OF ITS INTERSECTION
WITH CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE.
CASE NAME: CAMINO VILLAGE
CASE NO: GPA 94-02
WHEREAS, a verified application for an amendment to the General P1
designation for certain property located, as shown on Attachment “A” dated January 18, 195
attached and incorporated herein, has been filed with the. Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for an amendment
the General Plan as provided in Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 18th day of January, 195
hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimo
and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered
factors relating to the General Plan Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planni
Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows:
A) That the above recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commissil
DENIES General Plan Amendment GPA 94-02, based on the following findin:
Findines:
1. That the proposed land use designation is not appropriate for the site and
inconsistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The propos
designation is inappropriate as the site’s access possibilities are too limiting for
commercial use. The site has clearly visible public street frontage only from
Canxino Real, a prime arterial roadway. Site access to and from the south bou.
lane of El Canlino Real would not meet intersection spacing requirements for
prime arterial roadway.

2. That Commercial Policy “C.13” of the Land Use Element is to “Discourage stri]
commercial development along scenic roadways and major thoroughfares, includin
but not limited to El Camino Real...”. This General Plan policy has established ths
the redesignation of properties along El Camino Real to commercial could resu:
in the creation of strip commercial development along this scenic corridor. Th
Planning Commission finds that the southern right-of-way line of Hosp Way shod
be the dividing line for commercial development when considered in conjunctio
with the existing commercial development to the north.
3. That Overall Land Use Pattern Policy “C.1” is to “Arrange land uses so that the
preserve community identify and are orderly, functionally efficient, healthfu
convenient to the public and aesthetically pleasing”. Access to the site is too limite
to be functionally efficient for a commercial land use requiring direct, easy, an
identifiable access by motorists.
4. “That Streets and Traf‘fic Control Policy “C.4” stipulates that the number of acce!
points to major and prime arterials should be minimized to enhance the functia
of these streets as throughways”. Policy “C.5” states that the number 4
intersections and other conflicting traffic movements should be minimized. Ther
policies address the main function of a prime arterial which is to carry larl
volumes of traffic within and through the City. Limitations on the location an
number of intersections, signals and driveways allow prime arterials to achieve tl
intended function of their design. It also maintains a higher degree of trafT
safety. This policy provides justification for the prohibition of a median break an
signal to provide south bound access on El Camino Real to and from the propert
5. That approval of the proposed land use amendment has the potential of increasir
the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the site from approximately 1800 1
approximately 9000 which will require that a median break and signal be provide
on El Camino Real north of Carlsbad Village Drive and south of Hosp Way.
6. That the proposal is contrary to Commercial Policy “C.1.3” which encourages tl
location of neighborhood commercial sites to be one mile apart and at an optim
distance from other commercial centers.
7. That the applicant has submitted justification in the form of statistical analyses (
the market service area consistent with Commercial Policy “C.1.5” and that sa.
analyses do not justify the requested land use amendment because there a1
existing commercially designated sites that could accommodate a supermarket ax
there are no other sites in the area designated for community office uses.
