SUBJECT:
CASE NO: ZC-191
CITY INITIATED ZONE CHANGES FROM R-A-10,000 & R-1-10,000
TO L-C AND E-A.
STATEMENT OF THE NATTER
REQUEST:
This zone change is part of the continuing City effort of making
zoning consistent with the General Plan. Our General Plan indicates
an area through the center of the City generally along Palomar
Airport Road that is specifically designated as either Special
Treatment Area or Non-Residential Reserve, or both. The General
Plan also indicates that specific or extensive planning must be
done on this property for determination of proper land use and dev-
elopment. Most of this property is not in the City, however, the
few pieces that are in the City are zoned and theoretically could
be developed. Therefore these properties are not consistent with
the General Plan.
Since the General Plan indicates that no development can take place
until further planning, the most consistent zone is L-C (Limited
Control) which only allows agriculture. . The Planning Commission
recommended that two of these areas be rezoned to L-C. However,
the third area which is on the south side of Palomar Airport Road,
west of 1-5 was recommended to E-A, (Exclusive Agriculture). The
Commission made this recommendation because of existing packing
sheds. The E-A Zone would permit the packing sheds as lawful uses
that may be expanded.

SECTION II. RECOMMENDATION
Location and Description of Property
Exhibit A; The three parcels shown on this exhibit are flat and
traversed by Paseo del Norte. All of the parcels are
under cultivation. ,
Exhibit B; The smaller of the two parcels shown on this exhibit is
a knoll that is at a higher.-elevation than Palomar Airport Road,
.1
blopes down to a flood fe«*6in to the east and south.
This parcel is vacant, with natural vegetation. The
larger parcel is also vacant and generally at a lower
elevation than the Palomar Airport Road grade. Virtually
all of this parcel is a drainage area called Canyon
de las Encinas. A number of tributary drainage courses
branch off from the canyon. Property to the south of
/ ^ /this parcel is generally at a higher elevation.
Exhibit C; The five parcels on this exhibit are within Canyon de
Las Encinas. Most of these properties are under cul-
tivation. A number of agricultural structures exist
on the lots including a large agricultural packing
facility.
The property to the south is generally at a higher
elevation. This property is in the county and a
single-family dwelling is located immediately to the
south of the lots shown on Exhibit C.

Past History and Related Cases;
The City has been pursuing General Plan Consistency by rezoning as
an -on-going program since the adoption of j:he Land Use Element in
1974 (ZC-155, 156, 160, 161, 162, 167 and 168).
Environmental Impact Information
An Environmental Impact Assessment has been reviewed for the project
and a Negative Declaration issued based on the following findings:
1. The various zone changes are-mandatory under the provisions of
Section 65860 of the Government Code.
-2-
2. The zone changes will not affect the existing environment.
General Plan Information;
All of the subject zone changes will bring existing zoning
(Residential) into conformance with the General Plan, Non Residential
Reserve (N.RR) . The NRR designation is described in the General Plan
Land Use- Element Pgs 28-29 as the following:
Non-Residential Reserve
This classification of land use designates areas held
in reserve for nonresidential uses such as agricultural,
industrial, recreational, commercial, governmental and
utility uses. The burden pf proof to reclassify and
develop the land ties with the developer or owner.
Based on location criteria and on analysis of physical
and man-made factors in the area, one large area shown
on the Land Use Element map is recommended for non-
residential use. Although this acreage far exceeds the
demand for a particular use .anticipated in the
foreseeable future, it is designated for long-range
development because it possesses the following set of
factors:
a) Physical identity (it would not interfere with
the development or functioning of adjoining land
use areas).
b) Available major surface and air transportation
facilities.
c) Adequate space for future non-residential development
and expansion.
d) Because of airport activities much of the land is
undesirable for residential uses.
The advisability of maintaining this amount of non-
residential space at this location, in advance of an
established need, must await a regional analysis study
and the test of future events. Agricultural and other
interium, non-residential land uses should be
encouraged in this area until its ultimate land use
character can be definitely established.
The existing residential zoning on the subject parcels is in direct
conflict with the intent of the General Plan.
The proposed Limited Control (L-C) zone would provide development
criteria that conforms to the General Plan description: The Intent
and Purpose of the L-C Zone, Title 21, Section 21.39.010 is as
follows:
21.39.010 Intent and Purpose. The intent and purpose of the L-C
zone is to provide an interium zone for areas where planning for
-3-
.
future land uses has not been completed or plans of development
have not been formalized. After proper planning or plan approval
has been completed, property zone L-C may be rezoned in accord with
this title.
Public Facilities --
/ /'
The zone'changes will have no effect on public facilities. At the
time of a zone change request from L-C to other appropriate zoning,
the anticipated impact on public facilities will be evaluated. The
L-C zone will insure a thorough evaluation of each property in terms
of potential development.
Major Planning Consideration;
Will the zone changes negatively affect the subject properties or
surrounding properties?
SECTION III. DISCUSSION
The requested zone changes will''have no negative effect on the
current land uses on the subject-parcels. None "of the parcels,
with the exception of those shown on Exhibit C, contain permanent
structures. All subject parcels are vacant or are in agricultural
production.
The lots shown on Exhibit C contain permanent agricultural buildings
including a large packing facility.
None of the existing uses on the subject properties would conflict
with the permitted uses of the L-C Zone. The L-C Zone references
the permitted uses section of the Exclusive Agricultural Zone (E-A).
Most of the surrounding properties are devoted to agricultural
production or are vacant. The exceptions are the Commercial area
north of lots shown on Exhibit A, (Car Country) and a Cal Trans
facility east of lots shown on Exhibit B. The zone changes will
have no effect on these surrounding properties at this time. Specific
impacts of requested zoning in the future will be evaulated relative
to each request.
NOTE; This request is the first in a number of City initiated re-
zonings in the NRR area for General Plan consistency. Much of the
NRR area is now in the County of San Diego and not subject to City
zoning controls. The county areas will therefore not be considered
in these consistency rezonings.
Staff is concentrating on the area shown.qn the General Plan Map
as NRR between El Camino Real and 1-5 (See Exhibit D & E).
