DRIVE-THRU RESTAURANT PROHIBITION

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning Commission and Design Review Board are recommending that a Citywide prohibition
on drive-thru restaurants not be established. If the City Council/Housing and Redevelopment
Commission concurs, the recommended action is to DIRECT the City Attorney to prepare
documents REJECTING the proposed Zone Code Amendments and Local Coastal Program
Amendments.
If the City Council/Housing and Redevelopment Commission wishes to establish a Citywide
prohibition on drive-thru restaurants despite the recommendations made by the Planning
Commission and Design Review Board, the recommended action is to DIRECT the City Attorney to
prepare documents APPROVING the proposed Zone Code Amendments and Local Coastal
Program Amendments.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Based on the approval of Resolution No. 97-474 on June 3, 1997, by the City Council, staff prepared
a Citywide drive-thru restaurant prohibition ordinance. To implement the Citywide prohibition, a
zone code amendment and local coastal program amendment were prepared for the City’s
Redevelopment area (ZCA 97-03/LCPA 97-07); and a zone code amendment and local coastal
program amendment were prepared for the balance of the City (ZCA 97-02/LCPA 97-01).
Collectively, these amendments would implement a Citywide prohibition on new drive-thru
restaurants.
On September 17, 1997, a joint public hearing was conducted with the City’s Planning Commission
and Design Review Board to consider the above described amendments. The discussion that
ensued is reflected on the attached minutes from the September 17 hearing. After receiving public
testimony, the discussion concluded with both entities rejecting the proposal for a Citywide
prohibition on drive-thru restaurants (Planning Commission vote was 2-4; DRB vote was O-3). The
collective recommendation to the City Council is to not approve the proposed prohibition.
Because it was a City Council initiated Resolution of Intention that started this process (with the
June 3 approval of Resolution No. 97-474) this item is automatically being forwarded to the City
Council despite the denial recommendations made by the Planning Commission and Design Review
Board. The prohibition ordinance package reviewed by the Planning Commission and Design
Review Board directly reflects the City Council’s action and vote of June 3, 1997 requesting staff to
process a Citywide prohibition on drive-thru restaurants. If anything other than comprehensive
Citywide prohibition is desired or requested by Council at this time, a revised project would need to
be prepared by staff and presented to the Planning Commission and Design Review Board prior to
returning to the City Council for final review.
FISCAL IMPACT
The only anticipated fiscal impact would be from staff time required to complete the processing of
the entitlements involved including Coastal Commission processing of the related local coastal
program amendments.

Land Use Element Policy C.5 - requires that commercial developments provide a
variety of courtyards and pedestrian ways, bicycle trails, landscaped parking lots,
and the use of harmonious architecture in the construction of buildings.
Air Quality Mitigation Measure #ll - requires the control of nuisance factors in
non-residential developments such as noise, smoke, dust, odor and glare.
Air Quality Mitigation Measure #25 - encourages pedestrian circulation in
commercial areas through the provision of convenient parking facilities, increased
sidewalk width, pedestrian-oriented building designs, landscaping, street lighting
and street furniture.
4. That the Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15061
(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on
the environment.
Conditions:

Restaurants in response to City Council direction and action with regards to this land use.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
On June 3, 1997, the Carlsbad City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-474 directing the
Planning Director to prepare a potential prohibition of Drive&u Restaurants throughout the
City. To implement this Citywide prohibition, a zone code amendment is proposed (ZCA 97-02)
which will define and prohibit Drive-thru Restaurants from all zones in the City; and the
proposed ZCA 97-03 applies in the Redevelopment Area. The City’s Coastal Zone will be
addressed in two separate local coastal program amendments, LCPA 97-07 amends the Village
Design Manual to prohibit Drive-thru Restaurants from the Village LCP segment. The balance
of the City’s Coastal Zone and LCP segments are addressed by LCPA 97-01 which amends
and/or inserts LCP policy text to further implement the Citywide prohibition.

IV. ANALYSIS
Drive-thru Restaurants have been determined by the City Council to be potentially disruptive to
traffic circulation, aesthetic quality and land use compatibility and the Council directed staff to
prepare a prohibition of this land use. With the approval of City Council Resolution No. 97-474
on June 3, 1997 (attached), the process of preparing a Citywide prohibition was initiated. This
application, therefore, implements Council action by proposing zoning ordinance and LCP text
modifications to establish a Drive-thru Restaurant prohibition on a Citywide basis including the
City’s coastal zone properties and Village Redevelopment Area.
The primary regulations prohibiting Drive-thru Restaurants for all areas of the City except for the
Village Redevelopment Area are contained in the City’s zoning ordinance. Currently, Section
21.42.010(5)(N) allows drive&u businesses in any zone except residential through the
processing and approval of a conditional use permit. ZCA 97-02 proposes to define Drive-thru
Restaurants (based on the presence of a drive-thru lane to service customers), and then to
specifically prohibit them from Section 21.42.010(5)(N). This will result in Drive-thru
Restaurants being prohibited from &l zones except Village Redevelopment Area in the City by
right and via the conditional use permit process. Other sections of the zoning ordinance will be
modified as needed to reinforce the Citywide prohibition on Drive&u Restaurants. The
proposed zone code changes described above are attached as Exhibit “X” to Planning
Commission Resolution No. 4163 for ZCA 97-02.
The Village Master Plan and Design Manual implements the Redevelopment Plan and regulates
land use in the Village Redevelopment Area. This document currently limits drive-thru facilities
for fast food restaurants to three (of the nine) land use districts within the Village Redevelopment
Area. The proposed revision to the Village Master Plan and Design Manual is also covered by
technical amendment to 21.35.020 (ZCA 97-03) and will prohibit drive-thrus for fast food
restaurants in all areas of the Village.
The City’s LCP for the Village Redevelopment Area portion of the coastal zone is also
implemented by the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. LCPA 97-07 modifies a land use
table within the Manual (shown as Exhibit “Z” in Design Review Board Resolution No. 257) to
clearly prohibit Drive-thru Restaurants from any location in the Village area and LCP segment.
The balance of the City’s Coastal Zone is addressed by LCPA 97-01 which modifies or inserts
policy text into the Mello I, Mello II, Agua Hedionda, East Batiquitos and West Batiquitos Local
Coastal Program segments. The new/revised policy text clearly prohibits Drive-thru Restaurants
from each of these LCP segments and is attached as Exhibit “Y” to Planning Commission
Resolution No. 4164.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment. Section 15061
(b)(3) exempts projects which can be seen with certainty, will have no possibility of having a
significant effect on the environment. Regulations which prohibit Drive&u Restaurants qualify
for this exemption, because they prohibit a land use that has the potential to have adverse impacts
on traffic circulation, aesthetic quality, land use compatibility, etc. A Notice of Exemption will
be issued by the Planning Director after project approval.

PLANNING COMMISSIOI~ September 17, 1997
JOINT PUBLIC HEARING:
1. ZCA 97-OULCPA 97-011ZCA 97-031LCPA 97-07 DRIVE-THRU RESTAURANT PROHIBITION,
A request to amend the City’s Zoning Ordinance and all segments of the City’s Local Coastal
Programs to establish a Citywide prohibition on Drive-thru Restaurants.
Planning Commission Chairperson Nielsen announced that if the Planning Commission recommends
approval of this item, it will be forwarded to the City Council for it’s consideration.
Design Review Board Chairperson Welshons announced that if the Design Review Board recommends
approval of this item, it’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Housing and Redevelopment
Commission for it’s consideration.
Project Planner, Eric Muiioz, presented the staff report and described the project as follows: One of the
ways the City’s Zoning Ordinance can be amended is by a Resolution of Intention passed by the City
Council. This item is one such project. On June 3, 1997, the City Council passed a Resolution of
Intention, directing staff to bring back a prohibition ordinance on drive-thru restaurants, citywide. There
are two (2) ZCA’s and two (2) LCPA’s that, collectively, will implement a citywide prohibition. There are
two (2) sets of amendments because of the city’s Redevelopment Area needs a ZCA and LCPA of it’s own
to get the drive-thru prohibition implemented in the downtown area. With regard to the June 3, 1997
action by the City Council, one item in the Resolution of Intention was clarified, in that the word “study” is
in error. Staff was directed to return to Council with a Zone Code Amendment that would implement a
citywide prohibition on drive-thru restaurants and not a “study” as indicated in the Resolution of Intention.
Mr. Muiioz pointed out that staff can not return to Council with the requested ZCA’s without action by both
the Planning Commission and the Design Review Board.
Design Review Board Member, Marquez, questioned why the Design Review Board had not been made
privy to the study regarding this matter, in the same manner that the study was presented to the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Munoz responded by stating that it was an oversight possibly caused by the fact that staff did not
realize that, technically, in order to implement a citywide prohibition, they would have to go into the Village
Manual and therefore require Design Review Board action. That particular process had not been
developed to that level of detail when the first study went forward. Staff did not envision getting into the
Redevelopment Regulations.
Member Marquez asked what the exact scope of the study was.
Mr. Muiloz replied that the study looked at the locations of drive-thru restaurants in the City and different
approaches that other cities take regarding the regulation of drive-thrus.
Design Review Board Chairperson Welshons, pointed out that Mayor Lewis signed the Resolution of
Intention which reads, in part, ’ . . an intention to consider an amendment and sending out the Planning
Director to do studies and recommendations and bring them before the Planning Commission.” She went
on to ask if something has happened between June 3, 1997 and this meeting, causing the Council to
change the wording of the Resolution of Intention.

PLANNING COMMISSL.4 September 17,1997 Page 3
Mr. Mulioz replied that the wording has not been changed, that it is a simple error in the use of the word
“study(ies)“. Technically, the wording does not reflect the direction of the Council on June 3, 1997. The
Council directed that an ordinance prohibiting drive-thru restaurants be brought back by staff and stopped
short of directing further studies on the matter. Mr. Muiioz deferred any further questions, regarding the
document that the Mayor signed, to the Assistant Planning Director or the Assistant City Attorney.
Chairperson Welshons asked why the arguments against future drive-thrus are not applicable to the
currently existing ones.
Mr. Muiioz replied that the prohibition would not affect existing drive-thru restaurants nor the two (2) sites
already approved for drive-thru restaurants.
Chairperson Welshons pointed out that if the argument that such restaurants cause increased traffic, air
quality impacts, litter, and noise are true, then why not “out and out” prohibit them all, including the
currently existing ones.
Mr. MuiToz did not answer why the existing drive-thru restaurants would not be prohibited, but stated that if
the arguments pointed out are, in fact true, perhaps the City feels it has absorbed as much as it wants to
and is therefore unwilling to add more of the same to make matters even worse.
Chairperson Welshons, directing her question to Acting Housing and Redevelopment Director, Debbie
Fountain, referred to Exhibit “Z” and asked exactly what has changed, and where, that prohibits these
drive-thru restaurants in all nine (9) zones in the Village Redevelopment Area.
Ms. Fountain explained the exhibit (chart) and indicated where this type of restaurant has or has not been
allowed, in the past, and pointed out that with the proposed prohibition, drive-thrus would not be allowed in
any of the “food service” categories and would include all restaurants, not just fast food restaurants.
Chairperson Welshons also pointed out it appears that the “grandfathering in” of existing drive-thru
restaurants, within the Redevelopment Area, are referenced to the Planning Commission resolutions but
that there are no Design Review Board resolutions that state that existing drive-thrus will stay. She then
questioned Exhibit “Y,, and asked for some clarification.
Ms. Fountain stated that, in effect, when the CUP’s for the existing drive-thrus are due for renewal, they
will fall under the heading of “Non-conforming Uses”. She described “non-conforming use” by stating that
if the existing use has’been redesignated as “non-conforming”, that entity will be entitled to remain as long
as there is no subsequent expansion or use change on an existing site. They would also have to abate
the non-conforming use, at that point.
Ms. Welshons then inquired as to how many drive-thrus are currently in existence in the Village.
Ms. Fountain replied that five (5) out of a total of twelve (12) (throughout the city), drive-thrus are currently
in the Redevelopment Area.
Ms. Welshons then inquired as to how many more could potentially have been built.
Ms. Fountain replied that that figure would depend on how many would choose to go to operating “fast- food” restaurants. Currently, there are no applications on file requesting a drive-thru.
Ms. Fountain further pointed out that a change to the Village Master Plan requires final Coastal
Commission approval.
Commissioner Heineman asked Assistant City Attorney, Rich Rudolf, if he is correct in his belief that it is
illegal to ban something that has already received approval.
- -
PLANNING COMMIS!X.* September 17,1997 Page 4
Mr. Rudolf replied that Commissioner Heineman is incorrect. He went on to clarify this issue by stating
that when you change the zoning, what was legally authorized and operating in that area, becomes a
lawful non-conforming use. On the other hand, if the operation was not authorized and therefore illegal, it
would be considered to be an unlawful non-conforming use and the city would be in a position to abate it,
immediately. If the lawful non-conforming use is not changed, increased, or expanded, it continues until it
economically expires or the owner decides to do something different.
Commissioner Heineman went on to ask Mr. Rudolf if he is saying that there are currently unlawful non-
conforming uses in the Village?
Mr. Rudolf replied that there may be some, someplace, that the city is not aware of. Mr. Rudolf went on to
point out that when a zoning authority is changed, whatever is legally existing at the time of the change,
remains in place and is allowed to continue as a lawful non-conforming use.
Commissioner Heineman, for clarification, asked what would happen to the existing drive-thru restaurants
in the event that the proposed prohibition becomes law.
Mr. Rudolf replied that absolutely nothing would happen. However, it would put the existing facilities in a
position where they cannot expand.
Commissioner Heineman then asked what happens when these existing businesses have to renew their
CUP’S.
Mr. Rudolf replied that that is a question that staff has not addressed, as yet, and that he is not certain that
he knows the answer and, consequently, can not answer it at this time.
Commissioner Noble, asked if he is correct in his assumption that this prohibition stand began when the
Planning Commission approved the Carl’s Jr./Green Surrito application, in an effort to protect promises
made to LEGO.
Mr. MuAoz agreed that it is possible that the approval of the Carl’s Jr./Green Burrito project was the
catalyst that started the movement for the drive-thru prohibition.
Commissioner Noble then asked if any consideration has been given as to how this particular prohibition
will impact the handicapped.
Mr. Mufioz replied that he is not aware that any segment of the population were truly considered, one way
or the other, when the Council directed this ROI to be approved and the ordinance to be brought back to
them. He further stated that it is possible that Council feels that the general population, including the
handicapped, is already adequately served with the existing stock of drive-thru restaurants.
Commissioner Noble then asked if there have been any studies conducted, or calculations made,
regarding the financial impact or financial advances in connection with drive-thru lanes.
Mr. Muf’roz replied that the Finance Department tried to review some records, as far as McDonald’s
increase after they opened their drive-thru, but were unable to distinguish between drive-thru sales and
regular sales. He further stated that others in the drive-thru restaurant business have told him that a drive-
thru lane can represent up to a 50% increase in business but that he has not seen any studies to back up
those claims.
Commissioner Noble asked if a restaurant with a drive-thru requires less than the normal amount of
parking and cited McDonald’s as an example.
Mr. MuAoz replied that parking is figured on the square footage of the building. Further, McDonald’s
needed to be able to eliminate some of their parking to make room for their drive-thru lane. Accordingly,
they reduced their building size by approximately 25%, thereby reducing their parking requirement and 2 7
giving them the room required for the drive-thru lane.

PLANNING COMMISSL.. September 17, 1997 Page 5
Chairperson Welshons, referring to Finding #2 in Resolution No. 258 of the Design Review Board, pointed
out that this finding states that these uses have an adverse impact on public health, safety, and welfare,
through the potential cumulative traffic noise, litter, aesthetic, and air quality impacts. She went on to ask
that when these findings were made, was there any consideration given to the reverse impacts such as
the need for additional parking and will the Village Redevelopment Area have sufficient parking area
available to support new restaurants without a drive-thru lane? With regard to air quality, Ms. Welshons
asked if there was consideration given for more vehicles “cold starting” their engines versus vehicles
going straight through the drive-thru and exiting the area altogether. Also, Ms. Welshons asked if “drive-
thru” food is taxed and if there is a plus or minus side to the tax revenue to the City.
Ms. Fountain, in response to Ms. Welshons questions, stated that as the rest of the city, parking in the
Redevelopment Area is figured on the gross floor space of the building. Regardless of whether or not a
restaurant has a drive-thru, the parking requirement is going to be based on the total size of their building.
In terms of air quality, Ms. Fountain, stated that idling produces emissions as well as “cold starts” but
stated that she doesn’t know which one creates more than the other. Further, she stated that the city has
always encouraged foot traffic in the village as opposed to vehicular traffic, and have tried to discourage
drive-thrus whenever possible, particularly in the downtown area. On the other hand, they have allowed
drive-thrus in the freeway serving commercial areas and outlying areas. Regarding the sales tax question,
Ms. Fountain stated that taxes are charged or not charged in a variety of ways. It is not just a simple
question of if a person eats the food on the property or takes it away from the property. She further stated
that there have not been any studies done in that area.
Chairperson Nielsen opened Public Testimony and offered the invitation to speak.
Bill Hofman, Hofman Planning Associates, 2386 Faraday Avenue, Suite 120, Carlsbad, stated that he
represents the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce as its President, as well as representing himself as a
business owner in the City. Mr. Hofman stated his opposition to the proposed prohibition of all drive-thru
restaurants in the city and requested that these Design Review Board and Planning Commission
Resolutions not be recommended for approval. He stated that his reasons for opposing these
recommendations are several and went on to list them as follows:
The primary reason for this prohibition is to address the traffic congestion in some of the
city’s busier commercial areas. Response: This is a real concern and should be
addressed, citywide, and on a case by case basis. However, this ordinance goes much
too far in trying to address this issue. He pointed out that many drive-thru restaurants
work very well in this community and in fact have the positive effect of reducing parking
demand in a commercial center. And, although it is true that parking is measured by the
square footage of a building which is a parking requirement, this issue is about parking
demand and that demand will diminish with a drive-thru facility.
2) Drive-thru restaurants offer a convenience to the citizens of Carlsbad, especially those
families with young children whose schedules are varied and hectic. In many cases,
drive-thrus are truly a lifesaver when a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner, is required.
3) Also, drive-thrus are also a “blessing” when serving the handicapped. Many handicapped
are not easily able to get out of their vehicles to purchase their meals and find a drive-thru
much easier and certainly more convenient. Mr. Hofman also pointed out that the subject
of convenience to the handicapped has not been discussed, at all, with regard to this
prohibition.
4) Wrthout a drive-thru facility, people often leave their kids and/or pets in their vehicles while
they run in to buy their food, which is not a very safe thing to do, especially on a hot day.
Mr. Hofman concluded by stating that based on those four reasons, drive-thru restaurants do provide a
convenient service to the many residents of Carlsbad and requested that the Commission and Design
Review Board take these things into consideration when deliberating on this issue. 30

Mr. Hofman then addressed this proposed ordinance from a planning perspective, stating that any kind of
ban or moratorium takes planning out of the hands of staff and the Commission and he does not feel that
that would be a good thing. In his opinion, Mr. Hofman stated that he believes that drive-thru restaurants,
like any other type of use, should be looked at on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Hofman stated that during a
recent City Council meeting, he had seen an overhead projection that showed the study area that required
that all discretionary applications, within a specific planning area in and around the Carlsbad Ranch, be
reviewed and approved by the City Council. He went on to say that perhaps drive-thru restaurants could
be treated the same way. Instead of an outright ban, he suggested that a mandatory review by the City
Council would be a better approach. He pointed out that the City always has the ability to deny a
Conditional Use Permit if there is a problem. Mr. Hofman further suggested that each application could be
looked at, based on it’s own merits and in light of surrounding land use issues and stated that this would
be a more positive approach than an outright ban.
From a business perspective, Mr. Hofman pointed out that any moratorium or ban of a legitimate type of
business, sends out a very negative signal to other businesses that are looking to come to Carlsbad. He
posed the question, “If the City bans drive-thrus today, what might be banned tomorrow?” Mr. Hofman
indicated that such action would place a needless cloud over the City and many desirable businesses will
ultimately relocate to other areas.
Mr. Hofman summariied by stating that drive-thru restaurants are not so bad, as they do provide
conveniences to a very large number of citizens. He concluded his testimony by stating that a total ban on drive-thru restaurants is not good planning nor is it good for the local business economy and urged the
Planning Commission and the Design Review Board, to deny a recommendation of approval for a citywide
ban of drive-thru restaurants.
Richard T. Donahue, 4964 David Way, San Bernardino, CA., owner of six (6) lots in La Costa Downs,
stated that in his opinion it is time to ban drive-thru restaurants, not only because of the air pollution that
idling cars create, but because they do not enhance or enrich the quality of life.
Jan Sobel, representing the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, 2620 Paseo del Norte, Carlsbad, stated
that the Chamber has discussed this issue, at length, and has determined that to ban drive-thru
restaurants (a part of the “American Way”) would be detrimental to an “open market economy”. She
pointed out that drive-thrus were included in the Growth Management Plan and by banning drive-thru
restaurants, the City is drastically departing from clear growth management standards. Rather than a
blanket ban, Ms. Sobel stated that the Chamber urges the City to develop guidelines and criteria for the
drive-thru Conditional Use Permits that would address the City’s concerns by prohibiting their
development in undesired areas. Ms. Sobel reminded the Commissioners and Board Members that seven
(7) out of eleven (11) drive-thrus are in the western portion of the city and only four (4) throughout the rest
of the city. Further, there should be some consideration given to the other parts of the city, that are yet
undeveloped, that will also be home to young families, the elderly, the handicapped, etc., who will
welcome the conveniences that drive-thrus provide. Ms. Sobel concluded her testimony by urging the
Commission and the Board to reject the proposed ban of drive-thru restaurants.
Regarding his earlier questions to Mr. Rudolf, Commissioner Heineman stated that the answer to both of
his questions are in the proposed ordinance which reads, “Drive-thru restaurants that are either existing or
have received final approvals by the effective dates, are allowed to exist and may apply for CUP
extensions to allow for continued operations.”
Mr. Wayne interjected that there will be an addition to that provision that will also allow the granting of the
CUP extensions.
Mr. Rudolf suggested that the wording of the above provision should read, ” . . . and may apply for and be
granted, CUP extensions, etc. . .”
Seeing no one else wishing to testify, Chairperson Nielsen closed the Public Testimony. 3/

PLANNING COMMISSIC.. September 17. 1997 Page 7
Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Rudolf if this provision would apply to the Village Redevelopment
Area.
Mr. Rudolf replied by stating that he does not feel it applies to the Village Redevelopment Area but that the
change to page 2-27 of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual would initiate the use of the section
regarding non-conforming uses. He went on to say that it would not be difficult to interpret that language,
with regard tonon-conforming uses in the Redevelopment Area, to be less prohibitive than the zone code
language, and those uses would continue until the owner would (economically) stop that business and
change to a conforming use.
Board Member Marquez, asked Ms. Fountain what Staffs opinion is regarding fast food and do they want
to see more of the same, downtown?
Ms. Fountain replied by stating that they really do not want to see more fast food restaurants, but that
there may be places where it may be appropriate. This is the reason why provision have been provided
for them in the Village Master Plan. Generally, the new Master Plan was written to be much more
pedestrian oriented. Ms. Fountain pointed out that not all “fast food” restaurants are drive-thrus and that
“fast food” restaurants may be perfectly fine. The problem is when a fast food use is connected to a drive-
thru. That application brings a completely different atmosphere with it, that does not fit into the Village
Master Plan nor is it desired in the Village Area.
Board Member Marquez stated that she does not understand why staff has made such a distinction
between “fast food” and “drive-thru”, and that in her opinion, fast food and drive-thru are synonymous.
She further pointed out that by prohibiting a drive-thru restaurant does not necessarily ensure that an
individual wanting a quick meal, is going to take extra time to stroll through the Village instead of going
directly to the restaurant to eat and then leave the area.
Ms. Fountain, referring to the philosophical basis for some of the Village Master Plan, stated that to allow
drive-thrus would be in direct contradiction to what is envisioned for the Village.
Board Member Marquez then pointed out that there are several areas, within the Redevelopment Area,
which would be zoned to accept a fast food restaurant and where there is currently not a concentration of
the same. She went on to question whether or not a fast food business owner would be discouraged from
locating in Carlsbad, knowing that a drive-thru lane is prohibited. Ms. Marquez stated that she was
referring to the North State Street corridor, in particular, where it is still underdeveloped and there is no
pedestrian orientation.
Ms. Fountain stated that in District 4, fast food restaurants are not permitted and that this was a decision
already made as a part of the Master Plan. However, “fast foods” are allowed in Districts 1, 2, and 3, and
“small fast foods” are allowed in District 5. She also pointed out that they are not prohibiting “fast food”,
just drive-thrus. Additionally, most of the available sites in the Redevelopment Area are not large enough
to accommodate drive-thrus.

ACTION: Motion by Board Member Savary, and duly seconded, to adopt Design Review
Board Resolutions No. 257 and No. 258, recommending approval of LCPA 97-07
and ZCA 97-03, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein, and to include the addition of the phrase ” . . . and be granted . . .” on
Page 3, Section 12 of Exhibit X.
PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Noble stated that in his opinion, this ordinance does not take into consideration the
handicapped laws that are presently in effect. Additionally, he pointed out, every small business needs
every break they can get to be successful and survive, and to deprive someone of up to 30% to 40% of
their business, is very “business unfriendly”. Commissioner Noble also stated that the Urgency Ordinance
passed by the City Council will effectively control the area around LEG0 and should not extend to other
parts of the City. He also stated that each “drive-thru” should be considered on a case-by-case basis. In
conclusion, Commissioner Noble stated that he cannot, in good conscience, support the motion to
approve the proposed ordinance to ban all drive-thru restaurants.
Commissioner Heineman stated that he feels strongly that drive-thrus are an abomination, as is most of
the food in Carlsbad. He voiced his support for the motion to approve the proposed ordinance, by stating
that the fewer fast food restaurants (particularly those with a drive-thru lane), the better.
Commissioner Monroy stated that he can support the motion on the basis that there is no way of truly
considering the traffic issue, which was effectively demonstrated by the Carl’s Jr. Restaurant. He voiced
his concern regarding additional traffic and safety and as an example, suggested that drive-thru
restaurants are like gas stations - they do the best when there is one on each comer.
Commissioner Savary stated that she would like to see this issue studied a bit more, and ban drive-thrus
in certain zones or areas where they would be totally inappropriate. She further stated that she feels that
the City should not arbitrarily ban them from the entire city and therefore will not support the motion.
Chairperson Nielsen stated that he cannot support the motion for this ordinance, as it is written. However,
he stated that he could support it if it could be modified to direct the individual CUP to the level of the City
Council for their approval or lack of approval, on a case-by-case basis. He further stated that he feels that
an outright ban is insupportable because it is not good for business and is not good for Carlsbad.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DISCUSSION:
Board Member Marquez stated that staff has spent months designing the Village Master Plan, addressing
a multitude of issues, for the new development in the Village and pointed out that the Village still has areas
that are in need of commercial stimulation. In addition, Ms. Marquez voiced her concern regarding the
fact that a copy of the initial study was given to the Planning Commission but not to the Design Review
Board for review. Member Marquez stated that she believes that there are places in Carlsbad for drive-
thru restaurants and she cannot support the motion as presented.
Chairperson Welshons stated that after reading all of the material, she had a problem understanding how
the leap, by the Council, was made from directing staff to, u study the issue, make recommendations, and
bring those studies and recommendations forward and hold the necessary public hearings before the
Planning Commission to consider these studies and recommendations . . .‘I, to a straight-out prohibition. She further stated that this leap was made without any steps in between, which might have clarified why
this prohibition is needed. Ms. Welshons pointed out that until she has the opportunity to see the original
document, signed by the Mayor, she certainly cannot support what clearly appears to be a short-cut to
proposed citywide ban on drive-thru restaurants. Additionally, she suggested that the issue may not be
with just drive-thrus, but could be with fast food restaurants as a whole. Consequently, if the image of
fast food restaurants is not what the City wants, then say that and either disperse them through the city, 3 3
equitably, rather than downtown and then phase out some and don’t automatically grant the CUP’s to
-
PLANNING COMMISSIL.< September 17, 1997 Page 9
those that will be up for renewal. In other words, deal with drive-thrus as a whole. Ms. Welshons also
stated that she does not recall that the Planning Commission ever got a copy of the “study” on drive-thrus.
Chairperson Welshons pointed out that, with regard to being business friendly or unfriendly, Carlsbad is
being business friendly to some drive-thrus (coffee houses, gas stations, car washes, etc., ) but not
business friendly to the fast food restaurants that want to have a drive-thru lane. She went on to agree
that certain restrictions could be placed on these uses, on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Chairperson
Welshons stated that she cannot support the motion.

ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Heineman, and duly seconded, to require that any
applications for Conditional Use Permits for Drive-thru Restaurants, be
considered on a case-by-case basis and that all applications approved by the
Planning Commission for such restaurants, be forwarded to the City Council for
final approval.
Commissioner Noble pointed out that this motion is unnecessary as it does not change the procedures as
they currently exist, except to send all such item(s) to Council for final approval. The only motion that
would change procedure would be the motion for the proposed prohibition ordinance. He further stated
that LEG0 should be.protected but he feels it unwise to prohibit drive-thrus, citywide.
Motion failed due to lack of a second.
In response to an earlier question as to what happens with regard to an appeal, Mr. Rudolf stated, “Under
the rules which are applicable to the Planning Commission and, with regard to this item, are also
applicable to the Design Review Board because it is sitting as if it were the Planning Commission, a matter
with regard to Chapter 21.35, the rule in Section 2152.080 is, your action in denying an application for a
Zone Code Amendment shall be final and conclusive unless, within 10 calendar days following the date of
decision, an appeal in writing is filed with the City Council by the applicant.” Mr. Rudolf also advised that
the appeal, on the Design Review Board side, would be to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission.
