PLN CIT' 3F CARLSBAD - AGEND.hLL % DEPT. HD. CITY ATTYV CITY MGR.~ ~ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff is recommending that the City Council ADOPT Ordinance No. god of ten months and 15 days. 9d , extending the interim ordinance (9784) for the maximum ITEM EXPLANATION Because of citizen concern regarding the development of hotels/motels near residential areas without discretionary approval the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance on the 10th of December, 1985. The ordinance permits development of hotels and motels on an interim basis by the City Council until permanent standards can be added to the zoning ordinance. An interim ordinance is only valid for 45 days unless a public hearing is held to consider extending the length of the ordinance another 10 months and 15 days. This public hearing will allow the Council to extend the ordinance for that period of time. Staff is near completion of the new hotel/motel standards. They are scheduled for Planning Commission on February 5, and should be to Council 2-4 weeks later. If the extension is approved by Council and new standards are adopted prior to the termination date of the urgency ordinance, the urgency ordinance can be repealed with the adoption of the new standards. Staff is recommending extension of interim ordinance 9784. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no direct fiscal impact from adoption of this ordinance as it does not preclude development of new hotels/motels.

APPLICANT: City of Carlsbad PUBLISH: January U, 1986 CARLSBAD CITY COUNCIL December 4, 1985 TO : MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL FROM: Council Member Mark Pettine It has come to my attention that hotels and motels can be constructed in certain zones within the city without obtaining discretionary approvals from the city. This situation limits the ability of our Land Use Planners to assist in the modification of submitted plans in order to make the projects more compatible with the existing neighborhoods. To remedy this deficiency I am respectfully suggesting that the city adopt an urgency ordinance which would require discretionary approvals for these projects. Respectfully, MARK V. PETTINE Council Member cc: City Manager City Attorney Planning Department City Clerk APPROVED rzllo /8f- December 4, 1985 TO : Mayor and City Council City Manager Planning Director FROM : City Attorney HOTEL AND MOTEL URGENCY ORDINANCE The attached urgency ordinance subjecting hotels and motels to review by the City Council was prepared by our office at the request of Council Member Pettine.

City Attorney A lsbad Unified School District 801 Pine Avenue, Carlsbad, California 92008 729-9291 “Excellence In Education” December 9, 1985 To Whom It May Concern: It has been brought to my attention that a motel will be built on the southwest corner of Pi0 Pic0 and Magnolia. The plan calls for a vehicular exit on Magnolia Avenue. other like businesses on Pi0 Pico, driveways should be located on the .main street, not the adjacent residential street. I am particularly concerned about traffic patterns in the older sections of Carlsbad. There are a number of improvements that are necessary to provide for safe pedestrian traffic near our schools. To be consistent with As Carlsbad grows, increased traffic is inevitable. I ask only that you consider carefully any decision that may create a hazardous condition for pedestrians. %cerely, James D.
