PLANNING COMMISSION PROCEDURES:

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.

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.

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. In an
attempt to reduce costs and save time, staff combined the

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

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.

separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment is
significant. )

effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
111. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
This project consists of a Zone Code Amendment which
will allow car washes to locate in the neighborhood commercial
(C-1) and the general commercial (C-2) zones with a conditional
use permit. Currently, car washes are only allowed in the industria
(PM, CM, E M) zones. A zone code amendment establishes standard:
and guidelines for future development. As such, they should
not have any adverse effects on the environment.
This zone code amendment will require future car wash developments to apply for a conditional use permit .
time, each project will undergo a complete environmental assessment.
At such
This zone code amendment does not approve any specific
development and should not have any impact on the environment.
Therefore, the City feels comfortable in issuing a Negative Declaratic

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
X I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effl the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi effect on the environment, there will not be a significant e
