HAGAMAN, Secretary CARLSBAD PLANNING COMMISSION PC RESO #1902 -3- STAFF REPORT DATE: December 23, 1981 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Plannin-j Department SUBJECT: ZC-241 Hieatt - Request for a Preannexational Zone Change from County A-70-8 (Agricultural 8 acre minimum lot size) to city of Carlsbad P-M (Planned Industrial) for a 13.4 acre parcel located immediately to the North of Palomar Airport. I. Project Description and Past History The applicant is requesting that the zoning of the above de- scribed parcel be changed from County A-70-8 to city of Carlsbad P-M (Planned Industrial). At the present time, the properties to the north, east and west are vacant while Palomar Airport is located to the south. The Roll Company's industrial and com- mercial development will occur to the north and east of this property. The property to the west of this site will be devel- oped for industrial purposes by the Signal Landmark Company. Topographically the site is dominated by a plateau which is oriented north-south through the center of the property. Slopes declining from this plateau vary from quite steep at the north- ernmost point to very mild along the southern and eastern por- tions of the property. Over 50% of the site is relatively flat. Access to subject property is presently provided by circuitous dirt roads crossing both the Roll property to the north and east and the Signal Landmark property to the west. Future access to this project will be via a paved public street which will be a part of the Signal Landmark industrial development. II. ANALYSIS Planning Issues; 1. Is the proposed PM zone consistent with the PI General Plan designation? 2. Is the proposed PM zone and uses allowed within this zone consistent with surrounding zoning and land uses? Discussion The requested zone change to P-M (Planned Industrial) will be consistent with the recent General Plan Amendment that changed the land use designation of this property from NRR (Non-Residen- tial Reserve) to PI (Planned Industrial). The proposed P-M zon- ing and the uses permitted within it will be consistent with sur- rounding zoning and land uses. As previously mentioned, the pro- perties to the north, east and west will be developed with indus- trial uses, while Palomar Airport is located directly to the south of the subject property. Prior to development of this property, a site development plan will be required because this property is designated as a special treatment area on the General Plan since it is in close proximity to Palomar Airport. Staff feels that the uses permitted by the P-M zone are compatible with future industrial land uses that will be built in the area, therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested zone change. IV. Environmental Review The Planning Director has determined that, as conditioned, the approval of ZC-241 will have no significant impact upon the sur- rounding environment. An archeological survey of this property on September 10, 1981 revealed that there were no archeological, prehistoric or historic sites on the property. However, the sur- vey pointed out a number of archaelogical sites in close proximi- ty to this project and suggested four mitigation measures to pro- tect these sites from any indirect impacts caused by the develop- ment of the subject property. The measures have been made condi- tions of the Negative Declaration and are indicated on the at- tached Initial Study. A biological survey of the property on September 13, 1981 re- vealed the presence of Dichondra Occidentalis, which the biolo- gist doing the survey considered a rare and endangered species. However, recent studies made by other environmental consultants indicate that Dichondra Occidentalis is not as rare and endan- gered as previously thought (refer to attached environmental documents). Staff has field checked the site and feels that the removal of the Dichondra Occidentalis from this site should not create a significant environmental impact. -2- — S**«r Recommendation It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Condi- tional Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt Resolution No. 1902 recommending APPROVAL of ZC-241 to the City Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
