The applicant, requests a change of zone from L-C to M on property consisting of Palomar Airport generally located on the northwest corner of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. The applicant's intent is to provide zoning which allows the use of the existing Palomar Airport facility. No expansion of the Airport is related to this application. The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for the use of the existing Palomar Airport. A condition of approval of the CUP is that if further expansion of the airport is desired, the CUP must be amended by'the Planning Commission at a duly noticed public hearing. Further, the Conditional Use Permit only allows airport related uses unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission. Attached for your review is a copy of the Conditional use Permit Resolution. The Planning Commission found the proposed M zone to be consistent with the General Plan and that the existing .airport facility was compatible with the uses allowed in the M .zone. No public opposition was expressed during the public hearing. Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved. EXHIBITS 1.

HAGAMAN, Secretary CARLSBAD PLANNING COMMISSION PC RESO #1699 -3- STAFF REPOR1]1 DATE: September 24, 1980 * TO: Planning Commission FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: ZC 208/CUP 172 - PALOMAR AIRPORT -.Request for a Change of Zone from L-C to M and for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of the existing Palomar Airport facility located on the northwest corner of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting a Zone Change from L-C (Limited Control) to M (Industrial) and a Conditional Use Permit to operate the existing Palomar Airport facility at the above described location. The request for the Zone Change is made subsequent to the annex- ation of Palomar Airport from the County of San Diego to the City of Carlsbad. The Conditional Use Permit is to allow the operation of the existing airport and additional development as defined in this permit. This application does not apply to any future expansion of the airport facility. If such expansion is proposed, an application for same must be approved by both the Planning Commission and City Council and the Condi- tional Use Permit must be amended. These applications were originally submitted in Decem- ber, 1979. At that time, staff had a number of con- cerns relating to adjacent land uses, noise abatement and the possible expansion of the airport. Staff decided to postpone processing of these applications pending the completion of the Palomar Airport Land Use Plan to be conducted by CPO, a noise abatement and land use compatibility study to be funded by the F.A.A. and coordinated by San Diego County, and the resolution of the possible expansion of the airport. Since that time, staff has been under increasing pres- sure to issue building permits for minor improvements and building expansions of ori-site airport related uses. At this time, building permits cannot be issued by the City without the prior approval of a Zone Change and a Conditional Use Permit. Further, it is expected that both CPO's Land Use Plan and the County's noise abate- ment and land use compatibility studies.will not be completed in the very near future nor will the issue • of the expansion of Palomar Airport be resolved. 7 cGiven the incomplete studies which are needed to fully assess the airport use and the demand to allow building activity for airport related uses, sta'ff is suggesting a two phased approach for considering the issues associated with the airport: Phase I is a short terra consideration and entails the immediate rezoning of the property to M and the approval of a Conditional Use Permit for -the existing air- port and to allow airport related-development and uses. Phase 2 would be a longer term consideration and entail a further review of the Conditional Use Permit after the completion of the CPO and County land use and noise abate- .ment studies. Phase 1 would provide a mechanism to allow the issuance of building permits for airport related uses while holding open the option to reconsider the Conditional Use Permit after the completion of the above mentioned studies. During Phase 2, staff would be in close contact with CPO and the County staff to monitor progress of the studies and to see if detailed development and noise abate- ment standards are established. At the completion of these studies, the Planning Director would bring the CUP back to the Planning Commission for a review. At this review, if it is determined that any new information of a significant nature has resulted from the studies or from additional staff review the Planning Com- mission shall have the option of setting the CUP for recon- sideration at a new public hearing. Further, the issue of expansion of Palomar Airport may be resolved at that time and would be considered as part of the reconsideration of the CUP, If, the Planning'Commission concurs with this approach, then tonight the Commission will be addressing Phase 1 only. II. ANALYSIS Planning Issues (ZC 2D8) 1) Is the M Zone consistent with the General Plan designation of G (Governmental)? 2) Are uses allowed 'in the proposed M Zone compatible with existing and future surrounding land uses and zoning? < Discussion The subject parcel is designated as G (Governmental Facility) on the Land Use Plan of the General Plan. This category has been applied to all governmental facilities in the Ci-ty in- cluding the civic center, libraries, fire departments, etc. Palomar Airport is considered a governmental facility, thus, it was designated as G. Since the airport is existing and is allowed in the'M Zone, staff feels that a finding can be made that the proposed zone and existing airport land use is consistent with the General Plan. •2- T Uses allowed in the M Zone include all industrial uses. The surrounding existing future land uses include the future Koll Industrial Park to the north, Beckman Instruments to the east, vacant property to the west, and Palomar Business Park to the south. Industrial uses on the subject property, thus, would be compatible with surrounding land uses. Staff is therefore recommending approval of the requested zone change from L-C to M. Planning Issues - CUP 172 1. Are the proposed uses allowed by this Conditional Use Permit compatible with existing uses and all other uses permitted in the M Zone? In considering a Conditional Use Permit for the existing airport, staff's primary concern is the determination of the types of uses that should be allowed. Staff feels.the uses that would be appropriate are those directly related to and incidental to the airport itself. Table 1 indicates the • suggested proposed uses for the airport. This Table separ- ates uses that are allowed without additional descreation- a,ry review those allowed by a Planning Commission deter- mination, and those allowed by the Planning Director. Staff feels the; existing uses in Palomar Airport and those uses listed in Table 1 would not be detrimental to the City and would be compatible with .existing and proposed surrounding land uses. Therefore, staff is recommending that the Plann- ing Commission adopt the uses listed in Table 1 as part of the Conditional Use permit. Building permits could then be requested for any use listed in Table 1 according to the appropriate approval procedure listed in the Table. Approval of any other uses would require amendment of the Conditional Use Permit. Again, an expansion of the airport facility would also require amendment of the Conditional Use Permit. III. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolutions 1698 and 1699 APPROVING ZC 208 and CUP 172 based on the findings and subject to the conditions con- tained therein. ' .
