SUBJECT:
ZONE CHANGE FROM E-l-A (COUNTY) TO M (INDUSTRIAL)
CASE NO: ZC-215 APPLICANT: UKEGAWA
STATEMENT OF THE MATTER*: '
The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from County E-l-A
to M (Industrial) on property located on the south side of Palomar
Airport Road, east of Laurel Tree Road. Staff recommended approval
of a zone change to P-M (Planned Industrial) instead of M because the
more restrictive development standards of the P-M zone would ensure
a higher quality development. The Commission agreed with staff and
also added a Q Overlay requiring the submittal of a site development
plan prior to development. The applicant agreed to these modifications.
Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on
this matter have been satisfactorily resolved.
Environmental Review
The Planning Director has determined that the environmental impacts
of this project were addressed in previous environmental' documents and,
therefore, has issued a Notice of Prior Environmental Compliance on
December 8, 1980.
Fiscal Impacts
The applicant will be required to provide public improvements at the
time of development. Also, the applicant has agreed to pay a public
facilities fee to offset the costs of providing public services.
Recommendation
Both the planning staff and Planning Commission.recommend that this
application be APPROVED and that the City Attorney be directed to
prepare documents APPROVING ZC-215, per Planning Commission
Resolution No. 1777.

•MMES 'C. HAGAMXN, Secretary
/JCARLSBAD PLANNING/COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 25, 1981
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: ZC-215 - UKEGAWA - Request for preannexational
zone change from County E-l-A to city M zone for
property located on the north side of Palomar
Airport Road immediately east of Laurel Tree
Road.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting prezoning from the County of
San Diego E-l-A Zone to the City M (Industrial) Zone on
property located as described above. The applicant's intent
is to annex the property to the city and use at least a
portion of the property for a tomato packing facility. The
property is relatively flat, currently vacant and has been
used for agricultural purposes in the past. The property
contains approximately 13.5 acres of lot area.
Earlier this year, the Planning Commission and 'city Council
approved a General Plan Amendment on the subject property from
Non-Residential Reserve (NRR) to Planned Industrial (PI)
citing the existence of industrial property to the east and
north, the flat topography of the site and the fact that it
was previously indicated on the General Plan for non-residential
purposes. Also, the existing, high slope bank running behind
the property would act as a natural buffer between the
property and planned residential uses to the south.
II. ANALYSIS
A. Planning Issues
1. What is the most appropriate zone for the
subject property given the recent General
Plan Amendment which designates the property
for Planned Industrial?
2. What zone would be most compatible with
surrounding existing and planned land use?
3. What zone would be most consistent with
existing city zoning in the area of the subject
property?
B. Discussion
Although the requested M Zone is consistent with the recently
approved Planned Industrial designation of the General Plan,
staff believes that the P-M (Planned Industrial) Zone which
is also consistent with the General Plan would be a more
appropriate zoning for the subject property for several
reasons:
1. All of the area to the south of the subject property
is indicated for residential uses on the General Plan.
Both the permitted uses of the P-M Zone and the
development standards of the zone would be more
compatible with residential uses. Although the intent
of the applicant is to develop at least a portion of
the property with a tomato packing facility, which is
permitted in both the M and the P-M Zones, some of the
other permitted uses of the M Zone could be in-
compatible and detrimental to residential uses. Also,
the P-M Zone contains standards such as screening,
setbacks and performance standards which make it more
compatible with nearby residential uses.
2. The development standards of the P-M Zone are more
appropriate given the location of the property on a
major thoroughfare; Palomar Airport Road. For example,
the P-M Zone requires a 50 foot front setback which
allows adequate area for planting and screening along
the major street frontage.
3. P-M Zoning already exist in the city to the east of the
subject property fronting on Palomar Airport Road (the
Palomar Airport Business Park properties). Thus,
P-M Zoning on the subject property would be more
consistent with existing city zoning in the area.
Overall, from a consistency and land use compatibility
standpoint, staff feels that a zone change to the P-M zone
would be more appropriate for the subject property than the
requested M zone.
It should be noted that the subject property is located
within an area shown on the General Plan as a "Special
Treatment Area" because of its proximity to Palomar Airport.
Approval of a specific plan will be required before
development of the subject property can occur. At the time
that a specific plan is considered for the property, all
necessary public improvements including dedication and
dmprovement of Palomar Airport Road and Laurel Tree Road
vill be addressed.

III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that the environmental
impacts of this project were addressed in previous environ-
mental documents and, therefore, has issued a Notice of Prior
Environmental Compliance on December 8, 1980.
IV. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt
Resolution No. 1777, APPROVING ZC-215 for the P-M Zone rather
than the requested M Zone based on the findings contained
therein.
