RE: 234 Date Avenue, Carlsbad,
Dear Mr. Garuba:
As we have discussed the above referenced property is zoned R-3, and consists of approximately 1 acre
of land and is where I am now keeping my horse, Toby. The owners of the property have approved my
maintaining a horse on the property, as well as, all of the neighbors adjacent to it, as evidenced by their
signing a recent petition.
After my discussions with the Mayor and yourself, I would like you to consider this my request to allow my
keeping the horse on the property under a Conditional Use Permit. In order to accomplish this it is my
understanding that following language should be incorporated into the current city code section 21.16.015:
“On each lot or combination of adjacent lots under one ownership, there may be kept one
horse for each ten thousand square feet in the lot or lots; provided, however, that any such
horse may be kept only if it is fenced and stabled so that at no time is it able to graze, stray
or roam closer than fifty feet to any building used for human habitation, other than buildings
on the lot or lots, and as to those buildings, no closer than forty feet. ”
This is the same language that the City of Carlsbad utilizes in its R-I One Family Residential Zone.
Mr. Garuba, due to my obtaining approval and support from the surrounding neighbors and due the
substantial size of the property, I request the a Conditional Use Permit be issued on the property located
at 234 Date Avenue, Carlsbad, which would allow my keeping a horse on it. Thanks for your support and
prompt attention to this matter. If you should need any further assistance from me, please feel free to
contact me at Phone # 760.434.7742
