SUBJECT: CARNIVALS'AS PERMITTED IN SECTION 21 . 42 . 010(2)(D)
OF THE CARLSBAD ZONING ORDINANCE
Statement of th& Matter: At their May 26,.1976 meeting, the Planning
Commission approved a Condi ti o.nal Use Permit for a Circus at the El Camino
Real Shopping Center. During this hearing, the Planning Commission noted
that there are approximately 3 to 4 similar requests made each year for
activities at the Shopping Center. They also noted that most of the
problems and decisions are administrative in nature and are handled by
Staff -such as liability insurance, policing, fire protection regulations
and clean-up. The Commission also noted that many of the applicants are
unav/are of the requirement for -a Condi tional Use Permit and therefore
always seem to have a problem meeting the public, hearing deadline.
Therefore, the Planning Commission concluded that it would be advantageous
to have administrative approval on these routine matters.-
Presently the Zoning Code allows the City Manager to approve carnivals
that are for a two-day duration as follows:
Chapter 21.42.010 (2)(D), Zoning Ordinance:
"Circuses and carnivals:" The city manager shall have authority
to issue or deny a conditional use permit for circuses and carni-
vals for a period not to exceed two days, as follows:
"1 . Those sponsored by a school or church group; prov'ided that
such use is confined to the sch'ool or .church property;
"2. Those sponsored by a community group for a charitable cause,
subject to provisions for liability insurance, police protection,
cleaning and maintenance•as determined by the city manager."
The Planning Commission suggests that this requirement be amended to pro-
vide for City Manager approval of similar requests up to 5 days in duration
Recommendation: If the City Council agrees with the Planning Commission,
it is recommended that Staff be directed to prepare necessary documents
for such change.
