65 ! The Planning Director presented the Council with I i a memorandum dated January 11, 1968, with recom- ; : mendations for freeway interchanges and service i I station studies, as well as a presentation of b I : each interchange in the C-ity. He explained that : i the. Planning Commission recommended that Inter- i : st'a'te 5 Freeway between the proposed State Park ; I at the Buena Vista Lagoon and the boat harbor at i : the. Agua Hedionda Lagoon be made as attractive ; i as possible. He stated this could be accomplishe$ ; by pl:anning, landscaping and preventing highway :
f businesses between the main interchanges, main- i i taining the present zoning.and underground uti1.i-: : ties.
! In discussing the above matters the Planning
; Carlsbad for recreation at the beach, and the 1 i freeway that runs the length of the City could be: : the key to our city in attracting the public to i I the downtown area and to the apattments and motel$
i along the beach; that the Commission is trying to/ i make the freeway commercial by the quadrants at ; : the freeway interchanges; that it was also the ; i feeling -of the Commission to have the property i : along the freeway as a parkway;.that the Commis- : i sion feels there are sufficient service stations,! ; and that restaurants are needed.
i The Planning Director referred to the memorandum i : and stated that not less than two of the allowed I i uses should be constructed on the quadrants. t # : Such uses should be limited to service stations, 1 i restaurants and motels and no .single uses should :
!'mission felt that Elm Avenue and Palomar Airport i
f Road are ideal locations for transferring people i i off the freeway to the beach, commercial and I 1 ; industrial facilities; and for that reason the : i northwest quadrant of Elm Ave,nue is ideal for a i : restaurant, motel and service station complex if ; i a large enough p.iece of land can be utilized.
i The following persons expressed concern as to the: i zoning and land use along the freeway between the; : freeway interchange quadrants.: Mr. M. W. Bondy, : i Mr. Ted Rhodes, Mr. Louis A. Olsen,Realtor in i : Carlsbad, Mr. Chester Heltibridle, Mr. Galen i Nornhold, Mr. Harry Truax, and Mr. Tony Howard- i

i Signs. Considerable discussion was given to signs;
f 8 f I
! 1 : ; Freeway Signs. Mayor Dunne questioned the signs i i at Palomar Airport Road and Interstate 5 Freeway.;
&

! P'lanning commission Chairman Little stated that t
4 I
i !he.Commission had giv.en a great deal of thought 1 ! to the size and height of signs, and after drivini i along the Freeway for a considerable distance, 8 : have come to a general conclusion that 35' is' hist I i enough for signs and that 80 sqaaeefeet is suffi-a : cient for one business, with,facilities on a t ! i quadrant making a total of 240 square feet.' He : ; also expressed the desire to have a period of i time set for removing or reducing signs that
1 ' ; exceed 35'. *
I Coun.cilman Worthing asked how the Commission ''i arrived at the size a.nd height, and what is being! ; done by the County regarding signs. I
I Commissioner Palmateer stated the Commission has i : been studying ordinances of other cities. * f
: The follow.i.ng p.ersons voiced objection to signs i i at freeway interchanges of less than 200 square : i, feet' or 240 square feet: Mr. Harry Truax, Mr. : ; Chester Heltibridle; Mr. Perry Lamb, and Mr. L. : z 01 sen. 11
! i Councilman Neiswender referred to the realtors i i present who have visions of the City of Carlsbad ; ; having developments such as the Stardust. He i stated he felt the freeway signs should be the I : same as in the County and the City should work i i toward uniformity, with 200 square feet and 35' ; ; in height, and that all other signs should be I I handled on a conditional use permit. f
: Commissioner Smith mentioned that he is a "lone I i woj.f" on these interchanges as he feels there : should be exceptions made to the. 35' height limit: i if necessary and he does hot feel that 80 square : : feet is large enough to be readable in- order to i i make a safe exist from the freeway. I
i Industrial Ordinance. T.he Planning Director
! explained that specific uses are set out in the ; i ordinance and it is felt that situations are 8 ; developing now that do not fit into the ordi nancei i as it now stands. Certain requirements should ; : be set out, such as additional parking, land- i scaping, noise, etc.
i The Mayor questioned the progress made by the I I : Commission with the industrial zoning, and the ! i Planning Director stated they have had a rough i : draft prepared, and the Commission is striving : I to have two types of industry,with conditional i : use permits within the ordinance. Each type of : i business would have to meet certain requirements.!

i Mr. L. Olsen asked if any thought had been given i i to removing -the C-M or "i\l" -zoning in the down- b I ; town area as he felt this would elimi-nate some of5 : the major problems the City is fac-ed with now. I I i In answer to Councilman Worthing's question re- I i garding the removal of existing build.ings, Mr. $ ; Olsen stated that the existing industtial busineskes i could be moved to another location if they wishedi : to expand. !
