TITLE: PLAN AMENDMENT AND A ZONE CHANGE ON 36
ACRES LOCATED IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF PALOMAR AIRPORT
BUSINESS PARK, 1500 FEET WEST OF EL CAMINO REAL.
EIR 83-7/GPA/LU 83-2/ZC-281 - ROBERTS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council CERTIFY EIR 83-7 and
direct the City Attorney's Office to prepare documents APPROVING GPA/LU 83-2
and ZC-281 per Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 2210, 2211 & 2212.
ITEM EXPLANATION
This item is a request for 1) the certification of an environmental impact
report, 2) a general plan amendment on a portion of the property from RM (4-10
du's/acre) to RH (20-30 du's/acre) and open space; and 3) a preannexational zone
change from an existing county agricultural zone to RDM(Q) and 0-S. The
applicant would like to place the RH designation on the northern portion of the
property adjacent to the industrial park. The open space designation would be
placed over the existing SDG&E easement and property east of this easement (see
Exhibit 'A'). The RDM(Q) zone would be placed over the entire property except
for the open space areas which would be zoned 0-S.
Staff recommended denial of this request to the Planning Commission. This
recommendation was based on the location of the property with respect to Palomar
Airport and input from both Palomar Airport officials and the County's Noise
Control Hearing Board which indicated that this site would be subject to noise
from both general aircraft and from Hughes helicopters (please see attached
letter). Although the site is located in close proximity to the industrial
park, its proximity to the airport makes it unsuitable for higher density
development. The site is one of the closest residentially designated properties
to the airport.
The Planning Commission felt that the site may be more suitable for an apartment
project and that a density of 10-20 du's/acre would be appropriate. The
Commission acknowledged that it could not guarantee that an apartment project
would be built, however, it believed the placement of the Q overlay zone would
provide adequate development controls on the property. The Planning Commission
is, therefore, recommending approval of RMH (10-20 du's/acre) and 0-S on the
northern portion of the site as shown on Exhibit A.
FISCAL IMPACT
The applicant will be required to provide all necessary public improvements at
the time of development of the property. Also, the applicant has agreed to pay
a public facilities fee to offset the cost of providing other public services to
the property.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 26, 1983
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Land Use Planning Office
SUBJECT: EIR 83-7/GPA/LU 83-2/ZC-281 - ROBERT'S GROUP - Request
for 1)certification of an environmentalimpact report
for a 36 acre parcel located immediately south of
Palomar Airport Business Park, 1500 feet west of El
Camino Real, 2) a general plan amendment from RM to RH
and OS, and 3) preannexational zone change from a
county agriculture zone to RD-M and OS.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission:
1) ADOPT Resolution No. 2210 recommending CERTIFICATION of
EIR 83-7 to the City Council based on the findings
contained therein;
2) ADOPT Resolution No. 2211 recommending DENIAL of GPA/LU
83-2 to the City Council based on the findings contained
therein;
3) ADOPT Resolution No. 2212 recommending APPROVAL of ZC-
281, based on the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This application is a request for the certification of an
environmental impact report, general plan amendment and zone
change as described above. The entire 36 acre site is presently
designated for medium-density residential uses (4-10 du/ac) in
the City's General Plan. It is presently situated in a county
island with county agriculture zoning. The applicant proposes to
change the land use designation on the northwest quadrant of the
site to RH (20-30 du/ac). The designation on the northeast
quadrant would be changed to 0-S to accommodate a possible-future
tennis/health club facility (through conditional use permit).
All residential area zoning would be changed to RD-M, and the
open space area to 0-S. Please see attached Exhibit 'A1 and
'B1.
The site is presently vacant, with no improved or dedicated
public frontage or access. Part of the site is presently used
for agricultural purposes. A 200-foot wide SDG&E easement for
electrical transmission lines crosses much of the property in a
north-to-south-east direction. Development would be severely
constrained within this easement. The property is directly
adjacent to the southern boundary of Palomar Airport Business
Park, and conceptual development plans include an access point
through the park. Other access is proposed indirectly from El
Camino Real and future Poinsettia Lane. The general plan
designates medium density residential land uses on all
surrounding properties except the planned industrial to the
north.
The site slopes moderately to steeply up from the business park
to a ridge which bisects the property in an east-west direction.
Southerly of the ridge, the terrain slopes moderately down to the
south. This southerly half of the site is presently used for the
production of tomatoes.
III. SIR 83-7 - MAJOR IMPACTS
1. Grading
The EIR points out that ultimate development of the site
could result in large amounts of earthwork and the creation
of large cut and fill slopes. The potential exists that a
higher density development could require a greater amount of
grading. As a result, staff is recommending that high
density development not be allowed on this site, and further,
that any development on site be clustered on the flatter
portions of the property. This will mitigate any significant
grading impacts.
2. Archaeology
The possibility exists that significant archaeological
resources may be found on the site. Mitigation measures
include further study prior to grading, and salvage if
determined necessary by a qualified archaeologist.
3. Noise
Palomar Airport Management has indicated that this site will
be subject to frequent low-level aircraft overflight. An
increase in density on the site would increase the magnitude
of the problem. Staff recommends no increase in allowable
density so as to minimize the number of persons subjected to
the impact.
4. Visual
Large manufactured slopes and bulky, dense, buildings could
create an unappealing visual impact. Mitigation measures
include requirements at time of development for contour
grading, low-profile, clustered buildings, and extensive
landscape treatment.

IV. ANALYSIS - GENERAL PLAN AND ZONE CHANGE
Planning Issues
1) Would the proposed land use/zone change be compatible with
existing and future land uses?
2) Is the proposed land use a more appropriate use for the
site?
Discussion
When conducting an analysis of the Carlsbad General Plan, one
quickly notes the vast industrial and non-residential land use
belt running generally parallel to Palomar Airport Road through
the middle of the city. This belt is intended to follow the
approach and take-off patterns for aircraft using Palomar
Airport. Industrial uses are considered much more tolerant of
the noise generated by aircraft than are residential uses, which
are designated in areas outside this belt.
Traditional planning theory suggests that large employment
centers such as Carlsbad's industrial belt should be surrounded
by a concentric circle of workforce residential centers,
providing high density, moderate cost housing in close proximity
to the employment area. The idea is to minimize commuting
distances from home to work.
While staff believes this to be a sound premise under most urban
conditions, Carlsbad's circumstances are somewhat different.
Palomar Airport sits at the heart of the industrial center. The
noise and crash hazards associated with an airport make it
incompatible with high density residential uses. Staff does not
believe it appropriate to increase residential densities on the
periphery of this industrial area, in the belief that this would
only increase the number of families inconvenienced by airport
impacts. In addition, it is felt that the existing general plan
provides a good range of residential densities in all four
quadrants of the city, with adequate arterials to transport
commuters to the industrial workplace. Further, Carlsbad's size
is not so great as to conclude that travel distances are
extreme.
As a result, with respect to this project, staff cannot recommend
approval of the requested land use change to RH (20-30 du/ac).
Staff recommends that the general plan be maintained as presently
designated (RM over the entire site), and, as such, development
based on the gross acreage would be allowed on the less
constrained portions of the site. Staff does recommend approval
of preannexational zoning to RD-M over the entire site since
this zone is consistent with the existing underlying general
plan.

October 21, 1983
Mr. Paul Klukas
Land Use Planning Office
1200 Elm Avenue
Carlsbad, CA 92008
Dear Mr. Klukas:
The County Noise Control Hearing Board has reviewed available documentation
and interviewed Palomar Airport personnel with regard to 1. General Plan
Amendment #83-2, and 2. Carlsbad Land Investors Project's future. A sub-
committee of the Board undertook an aerial inspection of the two sites.
Following are our observations and recommendations with regard to these two
projects:
1. General Plan Amendment #83-2:
This proposed project involves the rezoning of 36 acres of vacant
land to permit medium to high-density residential development at
a site less than one-half mile south of the airport runway. The
draft EIR which was provided to us gives a brief description of
various environmental impacts. However, the portion of the EIR
which deals with aircraft noise is totally inadequate and in many
respects, erroneous.
It is our understanding that in the development of the EIR, no
Palomar Airport staff was ever contacted. The report states that
"aircraft typically approaching or departing the airport will not
pass over the project site." It fails to mention, however, that
the site is directly under the downwind leg of aircraft in the
flight pattern and that the east boundary of the site is at the
location of the helicopter approach pattern. It need not be
stressed that both of these are noise producing operations. The
EIR uses data in the form of the obsolete CNR scales, attributing
it to "Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Palomar Airport." The CNR
is converted to the scale (CNEL) presently used in California, by
subtracting 32 dB. This is inherently a very inaccurate method which
can easily lead to substantial errors in CNEL. It should be pointed
out that there was no need to resort to this since the "Comprehensive
Land Use Plan - Palomar Airport" by CPO of the San Diego Region,
May 1974, gives data directly in CNEL. Accurate predictions for
the noise at the site are much needed. These should be projected
to expected future jet noise impact and include the downwind leg
and heliport operations. Even if the site conforms to the State
CNEL 65 limit (which is unlikely) it is still certain to be above
CNEL 60 which has been found to generate extensive complaints from
large segments of residents near various other airports.
-2-
It is this Board's belief that residential development at this site
is extremely unwise and strongly recommends against it.
2. Carlsbad Land Investors Project;
This is a proposed General Plan amendment and zoning change to
allow increased residential density on an 85-acre site in Carlsbad.
This site is less than a quarter of a mile south of the west runway
centerline extension and includes hilltop terrain. It is highly
exposed to noise of aircraft taking off to the west and is under
the downwind leg of aircraft. Although there is no EIR available
at this time, experience abundantly suggests that the development
demonstrates serious erosion of the buffer zones which are presently
in effect.
This Board strongly recommends that no increase in residential density
be allowed in this parcel.
It is abundantly clear that Palomar is the airport with major aviation capacity
between Lindbergh Field and Orange County. It is located in the heart of the
fastest growing region of San Diego and possibly Southern California. A steady
increase in air traffic at Palomar is inevitable. Fortunately, Palomar Airport
presently has reasonably good noise buffer zones around it due to forward-looking
and enlightened zoning. The present plans and proposed zoning amendments would
seriously erode the noise buffer that presently exists. It would indeed be a
shame if, as a result of shortsighted opportunism, essential safeguards were
removed and Palomar Airport and the surrounding communities inherited the same
noise problems which are so abundant at Lindbergh, Miramar and elsewhere.
Very truly yours,

Dear Bill:
As requested, enclosed for your use is the response from our
acoustical engineer regarding the comment made on DEIR 83-2 by
the County of San Diego Noise Control Hearing Board.
The response provided by Mr. Dunholter of Mestre Greve Assoc-
iates, indicates that the CNEL (community noise equivalent level)
on the project site was calculated to be less than 55. This
noise level is defined in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for
Palomar Airport as being clearly acceptable for multiple family
residential dwellings.
I hope this information will satisfactorily respond to the com-
ment provided by the County. Please accept my apologies for
not providing this response to your office earlier this week.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do
not hesitate to call.
Very truly yours,
