EXHIBITS: Memorandum to City Manager, dated June 28, 1977 Agenda Bill 5105 Staff Report dated, May 25, 1977 Planning Commission Resolution No. 1369 Exhibits (Revised) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Attorney be directed to prepare documents approving ZC-191 as per Planning CommissionResolution No. 1369. Council action 7-19-77 Following the public hearing the City Attorney was directed to prepare documents necessary for approval of Zone Change ZC-191, in accordance with Resolution No. 1369 of the Planning Commission. FORM PLANNING 73 MEMORANDUM DATE: JUNE 28, 1977 TO: PAUL BUSSEY, CITY MANAGER FROM: JAMES C. HAGAMAN, PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED BY CITY COUNCIL ON ZONE CHANGE 191. The City Council at the June 21, 1977 hearing continued subject zone change for additional staff information. The following is this information: At the Planning Commission hearing on the subject zone change, it was determined that an agricultural structure existed on one of the parcels shown on Exhibit C. As a result, the Planning Commission recommended that the E-A (Exclusive Agricultural) Zone should be placed on the property instead of L-C. The reason for this change is that even though the L-C Zone permits all uses permitted in the E-A Zone, the L-C Zone does not permit any use that requires a CUP. Packing sheds require a CUP in the E-A Zone, therefore they would become non-conforming uses with L-C Zone and would not be permitted to expand. Even though the packing sheds were only on one of the lots included in Exhibit C, the Planning Commission felt that E-A should be applied to all areas so packing sheds could be expanded to other lots. Also the problem of spot zoning would be avoided. The extreme western parcel on Exhibit B is presently zoned R-A-10000 and is designated as NRR in the General Plan. The adjacent property to the south is also zoned R-A-10000; however, this property is designated Government on the Gene-ral Plan and owned by the State of California Department of Transportation and is used as a maintenance yard. Staff does not feel that the State property should be subject to a change of zone at this time because it is not within the NRR area. A portion of the property shown on Exhibit B, at one time accommo- dated an approval for a KOA campground by Conditional Use Permit. The CUP (Number 58-A) was issued on March 27, 1973. No expiration date was imposed on the Resolution specifically; therefore, the CUP expired 18 months from the date of approval. At the time of CUP 58-A approval, the General Plan designated the- area for "low density res- idential" (3-7 dwelling units per acre). Staff is presently preparing rezoning for the rest of the property in the NRR area. The attached Exhibit F indicates where the properties are and their present zone, the anticipated zone, and when we expect to present it to the Planning Commission. The City Council may wish to modify staffs attempt to establish zone/General Plan Consistency, if so please comment.

SUBJEC ' CASE NO: ZC-191 CITYTITITIATED ZONE CHANGES FROM R-A-10,000 & R-1-10,000 ' .. •_ TO L-C AND E-A. ;STATEMENT OF THE MATTER;;;'^ REQUEST; ' This zone change is part of the continuing City effort of making Eoning 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. EXHIBITS: * • . Planning Commission Resolution No. 1369 , .

SECTION I. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends ZC-191 be APPROVED for the following reasons: 1. General Plan Consistency: The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan because: a) The Land Use Plan Map designates the subject parcels for Non-Residential Reserve Land Use. b) The zone change will have no adverse effect on any element of the General Plan. 2. Environment; The proposed zone change is consistent with the Carlsbad Environmental Protection Ordinance of 1972 because: : a) A Negative Declaration has been issued for the following reasons:. . • 1. The various zone changes are mandatory under the provisions of Section 65860 of the government code. 2. The zone changes will not affect the existing environ- ment. 3.' Public Facilities: The proposed zone change is consistent with applicable City Public Facility Policies and Ordinances because: • a) The subject changes will not result in impacts on City > . public facility availability. . v> 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. . c. * Exhibit B; The smaller of the two parcels shown on this exhibit isa knoll that is at a nigner.-elevation than Palcraar Airport Road, and s^bes down to a flood plai£\o 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 off> 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.

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. The zone chafes will not affect the e^s-ssting environment. • W • • v> - 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 of 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 cqnflict With the intent of the General PJ-.an. 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 none for areas where planning for•. . -3- future land uses s hot been completed or i.^ns 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 sutrounding 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 ortare 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.on the General Plan Map as NRR between El Camino Real and 1-5 (See Exhibit D & E) . Attachments: • .Exhibit A, dated 5/19/77 .
