COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE ON ITEMS NOT LISTED IN THE AGENDA: There were no comments from the audience. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1) ZCA 88-1 - CITY OF CARLSBAD - An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that allows car washes to locate in the Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and General Commercial (C-2) zones by a Conditional Use Permit. Mike Howes, Senior Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that in November 1986 the Planning Commission approved Resolution of Intention No. 177 directing staff to prepare a zone code amendment addressing car washes in the Neighborhood Comnercial (C-1) and General Commercial (C-2) zones. washes to locate in the C-1 and C-2 zones with a conditional use permit. At the present time the zoning ordinance allows "automobile laundries" only in the industrial zones (PM, CM, M) with a conditional use permit. received numerous inquiries from developers on where car washes could be located and they lose interest when informed that car washes are only allowed in the industrial zones. To be successful, car washes require a high traffic volume combined with good exposure, which is not found in the industrial zone. several conditions which must be complied with to ensure compatibility with the surrounding development, staff recommends approval of ZCA 88-1. Mr. Howes directed attention to revised Exhibit "Att which was passed out prior to the meeting and which makes a minor modification to the ordinance wording but does not alter the intent. The proposed zone code amendment will allow car Over the years staff has Since a CUP is required which sets forth February 17, 1988 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 2 Commissioner McBane inquired why the Commercial Tourist zone was not included in the zone code amendment when most gas stations are currently located in the CT zone. Mr. Howes replied that the CT zone was not considered but staff should have no problem allowing them in the CT zone with a CUP. He added that the CT zone is generally reserved for tourist uses such as restaurants, hotels, and gas stations that cater more to people driving through the city while the C-1 and C-2 zones normally serve residents of the City. Chairman McFadden also noted a deletion by the city attorney in Section 21.42.010 (6) (A). Ron Ball, Assistant City Attorney, noted a typographical error and stated that the sentence should correctly read "...except those in lawful operation on the date of adoption...". Chairman McFadden declared the public hearing open and issued the invitation to speak. There being no person to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman McFadden declared the public hearing closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. Commissioner McBane supports the zone code amendment but would like the CT zone added. Michael Holzmiller replied that the CT zone is extremely limited on uses and suggested the wording include the phrase "in conjunction with a service station." Commissioner Hall feels that adding car washes to existing service stations would create a nightmare. Commissioner McBane replied that he was thinking along the lines of a limited car wash which uses the space of one service bay. Commissioner Hall could support a limited car wash in the CT zone but not a full fledged car wash facility. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to recommend approval of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt Resolution No. 2712 recommending approval of ZCA 88-1 based on the findings contained therein and also incorporating limited use in the CT zone if in conjunction with a gas station and subject to the same conditional use permit. 2) ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, SCENIC CORRIDOR STUDY AND OPEN I SPACE INVENTORY Mike Howes, Senior Planner, gave the staff report and stated that the need for architectural standards came out of the citizen's review several years ago of the land use element 1 and Carlsbad's General Plan. At the recommendation of the Citizen's Committee, the City Council directed staff to 1) examine alternatives for establishing architectural review to ensure quality and integrity of design to enhance the unique character of each neighborhood throughout the city; 2) prepare an inventory of open space throughout the City, in order to make more informed decisions regarding the utilization of open space; study to establish development standards and design guidelines for major arterial streets in the City.

STAFF REPORT DATE : FEBRUARY 17, 1988 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM : PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: ZCA 88-1 CITY OF CARLSBAD - An amendment to the ZOI Ordinance that allows car washes to locate in Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and General Commerc (C-2) zones by a Conditional Use Permit. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the Nega Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolu No. 2712 recommending APPROVAL of ZCA 88-1 based on the find contained therein. 11. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION On November 19, 1986, the Planning Commission approved Resolu of Intention No. 177 directing staff to prepare a zone amendment addressing car washes in the Neighborhood Commer (C-1) and General Commercial (C-2) zones. The proposed zone amendment will allow car washes to locate in these zones wi conditional use permit. Over the years, staff has had many inquiries regarding installation of car washes in commercial zones. At the prc time, the zoning ordinance permits I1automobile laundries1' on1 the industrial zones (PM, CM, M) with a conditional use PE (Section 21.42.010 (6) (A)). Due to the industrial requirement, no proposals have actually been submit Currently, the only car wash in the city is a small "dc yourselft1 car wash on State Street. This facility is locate the Redevelopment area and is zoned V-R. When the car was1 originally constructed, this property was zoned C-M. The proposed zone code amendment would require adding Sec 21.42.010 (17) (Conditional Uses) and deleting Section 21.4: (6) (A) which allows car washes in the industrial zone. '1 successful, a car wash requires a high traffic volume coml with good exposure which is not found in the industrial : The C-1 and C-2 zones, on the other hand, provide a wide ran( facilities for retail trades and services which generate amount of exposure needed to support a car wash. The C-1 ant zones are also closely related to residential development serve a market area up to a one and one-half mile radius. It should also be noted that any request to locate a car wa the commercial zones would require a conditional use pe @ 3 ZCA 88-1 PAGE 2 This zone code amendment establishes a number of conditions must be complied with to ensure that a proposed car wash wi: adversely impact adjacent uses. More specifically, conditions will assure site compatibility with the neigh1 developments in areas of site design, signage, and screenj parked cars. Applicants will also ,be required to prov traffic study addressing impacts a proposed car wash may hi nearby street systems. Adequate parking and onsite circu. would also be required. Finally, the applicant will be re{ to provide a noise analysis addressing noise impacl surrounding developments. This process will provide for ad1 review and conditioning of future proposals. In conclusion, car washes in the C-1 and C-2 zones, if reg1 properly, would provide a desirable community service and not create adverse impacts to neighboring uses. Therefore, recommends approval of ZCA 88-1. 111. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this zone amendment will not have a significant impact on the envir and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on Jan& 1988.
