City Manager's Recommendation
As you know, the Local Agency Formation Commission has
discontinued processing annexations until the City Council
has prezoned the property. In order to assure the Council
and the public that all information is available at each
stage of the process, the staff has discussed with representatives
of Japatul, the Master Plan and the adoption of a Specific Plan
for the development of all of Japatul1s holdings in this area,
which includes both the refinery site and the proposed industrial
park. This Specific Plan would then be approved concurrently
with any prezoning and be accomplished prior to annexation of
the land to the City.
Specific details of what is to be placed on the land should
not be discussed at this meeting since they will be the subject
of later public hearings both before the Planning Commission
and the Council. It is the staff's opinion that this process
is the most open and fairest way to proceed for all concerned -
the public, the City Council and Japatul Corporation.
If the Council agrees, the appropriate action would be to refer
the matter to the staff for development and processing of a
Specific Plan and prezoning.

for Oapatul property and introduced his associates.

Attention: City Clerk
Gentlemen:
Japatul Corporation respectfully requests that
an item be placed on your agenda for May 21, 1974, which
will permit discussion of the following:
1. Progress report on land planning activities
for Japatul property located north of Palomar
Airport, and westerly of El Camino Real. This
report will be a follow-up of the progress report
contained in my letter of February 4, 1974.
Among the items to be discussed will be the
introduction of Mr. Owen Menard and his associates,
a well know Southern California consulting firm,
who has been chosen to prepare a land use plan for
our property.
2. Recommendation as to how the land use plan
for the property might be processed. This will
clarify the pre-zoning and annexation questions.
Japatul will recommend that a single precise land
use plan be developed for light, attractive, well-
planned industrial uses for its property. The
plan will include the land that would be proposed
for the Macario Independent Refinery. The develop-
ment of a single precise land use plan would
clarify the intentions of Japatul to use its
property. It will permit public evaluation of
the proposal prior to the time of an application
to the Local Agency Formation Commission for
approval of the annexation of the Japatul land

3. Discussion of the merits of contacting other
governmental agencies during the land use planning
process such as the Environmental Protection
Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration.
I am sure these reviews would be helpful to the
City and ourselves during preparation of the land
use plan.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience
if this request can be approved.
Sincerely,

Attention: City Clerk • . .
Gentlemen: • . .
This letter will provide you with a progress report
on the land planning and annexation activities for our property
located north of Palomar Airport, and westerly of El Camino
Real. .
Early in January 1974 a letter inviting proposals to •
Master Plan our property was mailed to a number of professional
land planning consultants located in the Southern California
area. This was done after consulting.with your staff and the
County of San Diego.
On January 24, wa met with these consultants and it
was agreed that we would receive their proposals no later than
March 1, 1974. Thereafter, we will, as soon as possible,
review each proposal and choose a firm to prepare our Master
Plan. We will advise your Planning Staff of our choice.
We believe we have an opportunity to provide for this
property one of the best Master Plan concepts in the Southern
California area and we intend to do just that. We envision
an industrial park which reflects the desires of the City of
Carlsbad. We are not talking about industries such as
manufacturers of plastic, various chemicals and gases, foundries,
steel plants, smelting plants and other heavy industries. It
would be our plan to develop the property over a period of
years to meet the need of the labor input .in Carlsbad, and not
to craata a boom over a short period. We have asked that the
consultant speak to this In the Master Plan. Tha Plan will
ba sub raittad to your-Honorable Sody for approval when it iscompleted. .
The January 24 meeting' was also helpful In conveying
to these consultants the need to work closely with the City
of Carlsbad and to adhere to the Carlsbad General Plan'.
Additionally, the consultant whom we select will need
to work with the County of San Diego, which is at this time -
holding up its plan for the expansion of Palomar Airport until
our planner can begin work on our project. We are fully aware
that you, like ourselves, are concerned over several projected
plans for the airport expansion, • and it is important that we
work together to provide a plan satisfactory to everyone. • •
The Comprehensive Planning Organization (CPO) is also
working, through a private consultant, on a land use plan for '
all the area around the Palomar Airport. Our consultant will
be instructed to work closely with CPO, for their plan will
reflect the desires of the County for the region.
