[Planned Community Zone) - and Specific Plan on property located on the north - side of Tamarack Avenue between Highland Drive and - Margaret Way. Applicant R. E. Geyer. Mayor Dunne opened the Pub1 ic Hearing and the City C'lerk presented the affidavit of publication. The City Clerk presented two petitions received June 27, 1969, one including 47 signatures.and the other with 13 signatures protesting this proposed zoning on the grounds that PC zoning is a subterfuge to avoid R-1 zoning, would increase the number of famil.ies appropriate for a residential area, would Tamarack Ave. cannot handle additional traffic hazard cause additional noise and street conjection and i - CITY OF CARLSBAD CWi 0 I_ @ -3- \ \z\ 11 \ Mayor Dunne questioned Mr. Olinghouse regarding the density units per acre as shown on Exhibit A. Discussion was then given to the density rates of different zones. Mayor Dunne asked if the Planned other communities and Mr. Olinghouse stated that it was. Community is a new concept that is being adopted in Cmn. Neiswender stated the developer was isolating Lhis area into a separate section of the City and did not feel it was in a comparable zone. Mr. Olinghouse stated a Planned community has many distinguishing factors and it is compatable with R-1 zoning. Cmn. Jardine questioned the land usage relative to the amount of property available, and what the normal R'-l land area and structure is in regards to usable space and non-usable space. Mr. Olinghouse stated that he could not give a definite ratio but this exceeds by a great extent the usable space as compare to an R-1 development. Cmn. Jardine questioned if these would be considered apartments since the authors of the two petitions relate to them as apartments. Mr. Olinghouse stated these do not compare in any way to apartments because they have too many amenities, however, you can compar the density to apartments. Mr. George Flanders of 3765 Yvette Way was present and addressed the Council regarding the two petitions He felt this Planned Community would not tie in with R-1 zoning. ' Ne s-hould not invest in a master plan and thefmake changes in it all the time. Mr. Olinghouse answered Mr. Flanders stating that the master plan proposes density not zoning and land use. Mr. Flanders asked if at a later date the developer could build additional units on this same pkoperty, and the City Planner stated he could not. Mr. Hal Larson of 1365 Tamarack was present and addressed the Council regarding the two petitions. He felt this Planned Community would not tie in with R-1 zoning and the people who would be living in this development would be retired people with a fixed income. Also most of these people would find it difficult to vote on the things that the City needs such as schools, libraries, etc. Further, the petitions showed the majority of the property owners involved did not want this Planned Community. Mr. Donald L. Shaffer of 233 A Street, San- Diego, a registered architect representing R. E. Geyer was present and addressed the Council. He stated R-3 would allow 127 units, R-2 would allow 36 units and this development is only asking for 24 units. The Planning Commission had questioned why they did not use R-3 land for this development and Mr. Shaffev a e 0 CiTY OF GARLSBAB -4- - answered that this would not be economically feasible as they could not have the open space necessary. Mr. Shaffer stated that the residents of the develop- ment will be peop1,e that will make good neighbors. He then proceeded to play a tape which he had present ed at the Planning Commission meeting. I This tape included a list of all the objections against the Planned Community and he proceeded to d,iscuss them. He first discussed the landscaping and concealed parking areas. He stated there would be no backing into the street and there should be no parking on tlhe street due to the fact that there is 350' between the nearest parking space and the front door, also because of the 60 concealed parking spaces. These people will be mostly retired people and professional people. There will be no children and very few sing1 people. The pool was omitted in consideration for tlhose neighbors who would consider such a facility noisy and they are going to substitute verandas. They have planned the topography, set backs, and flencing to hide the back yards of the surrounding properties, and they will see little more than the rioofs. The majority of the units will face the ocea The site will have a park like atmosphere, in which the developer will maintain the grounds.. He then discussed the need for this type of housing due to the fact of the cost of new housing and the sizeable down payment. He concluded with the fact the taxes for the first year will be about $10,000, amd questioned how the City could turn down a project that will pay so well and will add so much to the qiuality and potential of the community. Cmn. McComas asked if this type of project has been dieveloped adjacent to R-1 zoning in other cpmmunities and Mr. Shaffer answered, yes, frequently. Cmn. Neiswender explained the vote of the Planning Clommission and stated at the first vote Mr. Hermsen abstained as.he thought he was barred, but when he rleal ized that he was not, he voted "yes", which gave the 4 to 1 vote. Cmn. Jardine asked,Mr. Shaffer if he encountered the same ki,nd of reaction on other projects and Mr. Shaffer stated he did, but once the people saw the first units, they did not protest against them, blut felt they were something that benefited the community. Cmn. Neiswender stated with the $200 to $300 per month rental, we are missing the people we are tryin tlo help. g Cmn. Castro questioned if they had personally approached the people involved and Mr. Shaffer stated they did not expect unanimous acceptance on a new concept, but they have never been turned down yet .and haye returned to the same community several times. LOU! 1115 \ c\ 1 ? ~ I I I , - CITY OF CARLSBAD C(jlj1. 0 -5- pi 116 9 1 " 0 Mayor Dunne pointed out that the petitioners felt the traffic safety and congestion was one of the major factors and asked for Mr. Shaffer's comments on this. Mr. ShafLfer stated they would be widening the street by approximately lo', the, cars will not be backing onto the street and with no children, the tenants will be making far less trips in and out of the development. Mr, Geyer of 690 Elm Avenue was present a/nd addressed the Council. He stated these Planned Communities are the most successful developments in the United States He requested the Public Hearing be continued so that anyone interested could have an opportunity to visit one of these Planned Communities. Mr. Larson addressed the Council again and clarified that he did not write the petition, nor circulate it, howeyer, there were several people involved, all of whom opposed this development. Since there were no other persons desiring to speak, the Mayor closed the Public Hearing with the unanimou consent of the Council. C;mn. McComas questioned Mr. Shaffer as to how they were going to keep children out of the development over a period of years. Mr. Wilson stated it could possibly be done through deed restrictions, however, he did not know of any such deed restrictio Cmn. McComas did. not feel that this would be detri- mental to the R-1 zone and felt this. would enhance the community. " Cmn. Jardine questioned the age limit for children and the City Attorney stated people under 18 years of age who are students or not within the labor forc He also stated that an ordinance restricting children could be difficult to enforce. Discussion was then given to the widening of Tamarack and it was pointed out that this will be widened at some future date. Crnn. Castro stated he had no other comments. - RECESS : Mayor Dunne' called a recess at 8:45 P.M. and the regular meeting reconvened at 9:03 P.M. Mayor Dunne stated he had mixed emotions. He felt it was an excellent idea, but was not sure about it being next to R-1 zoning. However, due to the scarcity of land along the coast, structures will have to be built to take care of the many people that will'be coming here. Mayor Dunne then deferred this Public Hearing until the next Council meeting in orde that a further study could be made. I ? Mr. Shaffer was requested to furnish addresses of the proposed developments, preferably adjoining R-1 - 0 -"" 0 CITY OF CARLSBAD -6- - r zoning. Mr. Shaffer stated he would prepare 100 copies of maps and resumes on the projects he has worked on by Thursday or Friday of this week, and Mr. Martin stated .these would be sent to the petitioners so that anyone interested could visit one of these Planned Communities.

Mayor Dunne opened the Public Hearing and the City Clerk presented the affidavit of publication. The City Clerk stated there were no letters of protest. Mr. Osburn addressed the Council and stat- ed that this amendment is brought up basically be- cause the City has R-A development in R-l areas. It was felt that if these requests for greenhouses, packing and sorting sheds were placed under a Conditional Use Permit, the adjoining property owner would be notified of this use. Further, this amend- ment will also set forth the requirements for these uses.

The following letters were read protesting the ex- tension of the 10 year Conditional Use Permit: Burton L. Kramer Costa Del Mar Rd. . June 27 Clarence H.

Loker Arrow Letter K Properties July 1 Beverly Kal i cka July 1 1448 Avocado Rd. Oceanside Mr. Don Frazer, one of the developers of Lake San Marcos, was present and addressed the Council. He commented on how they had looked for about two years before they decided on this area for their develop- ment due to the high quality of the area. He felt the Raceway had a detrimental affect on the surround ing properties. The City should make a study as to highest and best use of the area. This property should not be tied up for another 14 years. Also, the people who use,the Raceway are people who live outside the City. Mayor Dunne stated this property is under the flight pattern of the airport and the airport will most likely expand so this is not very likely to become residential. Mayor Dunne felt the City ha.s 4 years to make this decision and with the airport expanding this may make the decision. Mr. J. S. Belond from the Carlsbad Raceway was prese and read a letter from Mrs. Harold Kirby, Secretary Carlsbad Union Church dated July 1, 1969 recommendin that this request be looked 'upon favorably and a letter from Juan Solis, President, Carlsbad Boys' Club dated'July 1 expressing the cooperation and - tf Y n. 9 le t - CITY OF CARLSE3AD -9- Discussion was then given to the Palomar Airport extension and Mr. Belond stated it wou1.d be much easier to absorb Lhe Raceway for this purpose rather than residential areas. Yr . Don Martinson, Attorney representing Mr. & Mrs. Frank P.. Delpy addressed the Council and stated what the City of Carlsbad does has an affect on the sur- rounding areas, and he felt to extend this for 14 years in the future was not goodplanning. Mr. Martinson did not feel the City should abolish the Raceway, but did not feel the land should be pledged for another 10 years in the future, as it was pre- nature and unrealistic to make this decision when it is affecting the surrounding property worth milli of dollars. Mr. James Kintz, Attorney at Law, representing Mr. & Mrs. Thibado and Mr. & Mrs. Meisinger stated he had opposed this when the approval was originally grante 5 years ago. He appreciated the fact that the race- way had made a capital investment. The owners of the adjoining property consider it detrimental to their property, and questioned how the City could consider it for another 14 years. He would like to see anoth La Costa constructed, which would benefit the entire area. In closing Mr. Kintz noted that the land surrounding the Raceway has not developed in the pas six years. Mr. Bill Brown, a police officer from San Diego was present and addre_ssed the Council. He stated he was a member of the Scotchman Car Club and has raced at the Carlsbad Raceway. He mentioned that several people have commented to him as to the value of the drag strip so that people can race where it is sanctioned and not on the streets and roads: Mr. Don Dunham of 2822 State Street addressed the Council and stated he felt if those people protestin wanted to have something to say about the City's Government, then they should annex to the City, and they will have legal grounds to say how the City should be run. He also commented on the study made for the general plan and the expansion of the Palomar Airport, and felt the Carlsbad Raceway shoul be encouraged for long term use. MT. Irl Robinson, Attorney representing Carrillo Ranch0 Partnership, addressed the Council and did not feel this land should be dedicated for another 14 years; Since there were no other persons desiring to speak, Mayor Dunne closed the Public Hearing with the unanimous consent of the Council. e 0 CITY OF CARLSBAD -1 0- 7 Cmn. McComas stated that he appreciated the capital investment of the people at the Raceway, however, he hesitated at this time to go along with an exten- sion, and felt the decision should be made at a later date. Cmn. Neiswender stated he was interested in Mr. Dunham's remark that the people who made the greatest objection are people that do not own property in the City. He was very much interested in the,study that is' being made by the County in regards to the Pallomar Airport. However, he had mixed emotions and would like to wait for a few years to see what happens * Cmn. Jardine also commented on the fact that the people protesting did not appear in person but sent qualified persons to 'present the case for them. He felt that it was the Council's job to see what is the best use for the property, and felt that within the next 4 years the Palomar Airport may expand and mqke the decision for the City. Cnm. Castro stated that he did not have much to add and would like to wait 2 or 3 years to make this decision. Mayor Dunne stated the Raceway has been conducted in a very fine manner and did not feel that it was detrimental except for the noise. He felt it was too early to make this decision.
