INTRODUCTION At a previous meeting, staff informed the Commission that a number of inactive projects would be brought to the Commissio with a recommendation of denial without prejudice. The proje discussed in this report have been in process for quite some time. All of'these projects have serious design problems of deficiencies which prevent staff from recommending approval. Staff has made the applicants aware of these problems, but th have made little or no effort to resolve them. In addition, some of these applications are incomplete. Letters have been sent to all of the applicants informing them that their proje has been scheduled for tonight's meeting with a recommendatio of denial without prejudice. State law establishes time limits for the processing of proje submitted for City review. In an attempt to comply with this requirement and to clarify the City's records, staff is recommending that these projects be denied without prejudice. Normally, when a project is denied, the applicant must wait a least one year before proposing a similar project on the same property. A denial without prejudice will allow the applican to submit a similar project on the same property without complying with the one year time limit, 1 e 0 Project Description SDP 86-3 Rancho La Costa Plaza - Request for a Site Developme Plan for 4.52 acre commercial development at the southeast corner of La Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road in the P-C 2 one. This project was submitted in April, 1986. An issue letter wa sent to the applicant the same month. As proposed, the Engineering and Planning Departments have concerns with the proposed circulation, parking layout, and location of the driv through. Probably the most significant problem is that this applicatioi incomplete. This property is designated as Neighborhood SE-lf the La Costa Master Plan. Neighborhood SE-15 consists of two parcels. The applicant's proposed plans only show development one of these parcels. The other is designated, not a part. r is in conflict with the requirements of the La Costa Master PI which requires that development plans for entire neighborhood! must be processed concurrently. They cannot be processed in stages. The one parcel that is being left out of this application is owned by an oil company. That parcel will probably be developed with a service station, and must gain access through the other parcel. The parking lot layout of tl commercial project will greatly affect the operation of the g( station, so the entire site must be planned together. The applicant was made aware of these problems in April 1986, has made little effort to work with staff to resolve these issues. It has been several months since the applicant has m a serious attempt to process this project. Therefore, staff recommends that this project be denied without prejudice. V-374 - Atlantic Richfield - Request for a variance to erect service station signs at the northeast corner of La Costa Ave and El Camino Real in the C-2 Zone. This application was submitted in May, 1986. In June 1986, t applicant was sent a letter listing the Planning and Engineer Department's concerns. The proposed monument sign has an are approximately 81 square feet, while the sign ordinance only allows 48 square feet. In addition, the proposed six-foot hi sign is located within the triangular area created by the intersection of two property lines along the street and two points 25 feet behind each back of curb return. The sign ordinance permits a maximum height of 30 inches in this area. -2- b e 0 As proposed, this sign could create a serious visual hazard to motorists at the intersection of La Costa Avenue and El Camino Real, a secondary and prime arterial respectively. Neither th Planning Department nor Engineering Department can support the requested variance. Staff has met with the applicant several times to discuss thes concerns. However, no efforts have been made to redesign the proposed sign. In November 1986, staff sent a letter to the applicant giving him the options of withdrawal, redesign, or a recommendation of denial. Since we have had no response to tl- letter, staff is recommending that this project be denied without prejudice. CT 85-12/SP-198 - Faraday Business Park - Request for a 31 lot tentative tract map and Specific Plan on a 203 acre parcel eaE of the Carlsbad Safety Center. This project was submitted in February, 1985. Shortly after 1 was submitted, the applicant, the County of San Diego, was informed that the application was incomplete. The applicant f not submit a Public Facilities Fee Agreement or sign an agreement to pay traffic impact fees and fees connected with bridge and thoroughfare district. In addition, there were numerous unresolved Planning and Engineering issues with the design of the proposed project. The applicant still has not signed and submitted the necessar agreements, or made a serious attempt to resolve the Planning Engineering Department's concerns. Since the application is incomplete, and the applicant has made no attempt to process application during the past six months, staff recommends it b denied without prejudice. In conclusion, the projects discussed in this report have bee in for quite some time, have serious design problems, are incomplete, and are inactive. In an attempt to comply with s ordinances which set time limits for the processing of projec and to clarify the City's records, staff is recommending that they be denied without prejudice.
