AB 88738 - Supplement #I - GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - CITYWIDE FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS PLAN. - Mike Holzmiller, Planning Director, gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill, using slides to indicate all the information contained in the packet, and referring to maps showing the existing facilities and plans for the future. Council Member Lewis commented the newspapers had stated this Growth Management Plan and the Citizens' Initiative could work side by side, and he questioned if this was possible. Mike Holzmiller stated that staff had indicated the two programs are different approaches conceptually to managing growth. If both programs were initiated together, there would need to be changes, particularly in the financing. Mayor Casler opened the public hearing at 7:26 p.m., and issued the invitation to speak. Don Woodward, 5100 Campus Avenue, Newport Beach, addressed Council stating the City and the development industry would have to work closely together which has not been done during the past year. He felt there had not been time to study this program sufficiently. He requested a two week continuation in order for the developers to review the plan. Dennis Branmeyer, 2668 Ocean Street, addressed Council asking that the performance standard of 1,500 square feet for 1,000 population for administrative space be changed to 1,000 square feet for each 1,000 population. Stan Brause, 6515 Avenida del Paraiso, addressed Council stating the Growth Management Plan should be kept simple to get the job done. A.3. Skotnicki, 3535 Bedford Circle, addressed Council to respond on behalf of the Citizens Initiative. He stated the industrial and commercial development would not be affected by the Slow Growth Management, only residential. He stated there would be fewer people in ten years, which would make a difference in the public facility requirements for that number of people. 356 c COUNCIL /j 3 % MEMBERS % $ 0 MINUTES 0 September 16, 1986 Page 4 PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) Doug Avis, 11300 Sorrento Valley Road, addressed Council stating he was also in the doubtful category as far as the Growth Management Program. He stated this would create an unprecedented down-zoning and there would not be houses available for people to buy. He stated the money would be made by property owners and existing owners, but their children will have to live elsewhere. Tim Roberts, La Costa Ranch Company, 6994 El Camino Real, asked for a clarification on Section 4 on the financing plan. He questioned the sentence reading: "Facility Management Fee shall be deposited with the City beginning with the initial unit of development in an amount sufficient to fund the facility when it is needed." Staff indicated the wording was not clear, and could be reworded to convey staff's intent. The intent was to have the fee collected for the units being built at the building permit stage. Mayor Casler suggested this be reworded to clarify staff's intent. Patricia Stanfield, 2270 Via Lucia, La solla, representing SDG&E, addressed Council commenting on two areas. She stated they had commented on the drafts submitted in August and she distributed copies of that response to Council Members. Power easements have been included in the environmentally constrained category, and SDG&E would like those to be deleted. They would like to encourage people to use the easement areas as open space, active recreation, parking, or agricultural. She stated the power lines in constrained areas cannot be used to fulfill the requirements for open space and cannot be used for density calculations. She stated this would discourage the use and it would add to SDG&E's costs and added effort expended in the future in order to obtain easements. SDG&E disagrees with including the major easements in the constrained category and they asked the Council to modify the plan to remove this. The second area Ms. Stanfield discussed was the parks section. She stated Hub Park was not included in the undeveloped inventory on page 33 of the report. She stated this was listed as a special resource area, and SDG&E has a 99 year lease which is specifically for Parks and Recreation purposes. She expressed concern that this was not included in the undeveloped park category. W. Allan Kelly, P.O. Box 1865, addressed Council stating this would preclude small land holders from doing anything. Mr. Kelly stated he would like Council to consider the idea of charging commercial and industrial developments for schools. 355 T COUNCIL IF 3 9C MEMBERS % % MINUTES 0 September 16, 1986 Page 5 PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) Mr. Kelly stated the reason there are traffic problems on El Camino Real and the intersection in that area is because of the commercial and industrial development. He felt that if there are no restrictions on further industrial development, there will be more problems, there will be no place to live and the traffic problems will increase. Cindy Ward, 937 Begonia Court, addressed Council stating she agreed more time was needed to review this Growth Management Program. She stated neither plan would work well in case of economic hard times. She felt Interstate 5, with the amount of people driving to other cities, was a problem that needed to be addressed. She felt that Carlsbad should work with those other cities to work out a plan for the future, which could involve a moratorium in the entire county. Mark Nordquist, 3495 Seacrest Drive, addressed Council stating no one had said how good this growth plan is. It is tied to the installation of the public facilities that are good for everyone. Mr. Nordquist stated the Council's program is a good one and he urged its adoption. Albert Mendoza, 2870 Highland Drive, stated he was impressed by the work done by the Planning staff. He stated it did not answer a concern of his about what Carlsbad will look like. There is some very ugly construction going on in his opinion. He felt a map was needed to show what the City would look like in the future. Since no one else wished to speak on this item, the public hearing was closed at 8:07 p.m. RECESS: Mayor Casler declared a recess at 8:07 p.m., and Council reconvened at 8:19 p.m., with all Members present. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) 11. AB 88738 - Supplement #I - GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - CITYWIDE F-ACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS PLAN. (continued) _I_ Council Member Kulchin stated she had given a letter to the Council Members from Mr. Anderson of Stone and Youngberg regarding the financing problems with the growth issue and she asked that Mr. Anderson read his letter and answer any questions. (A copy of the letter was not furnished to the City Clerk.) 354 -r COUNCIL /p ?b % MEMBERS % % 0 MINUTES 0 September 16, 1986 Page 6 PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) Mr. Anderson of Stone and Youngberg Financial Investment, stated the assessment benefit financing is a unique process that helps install sewers, roads, etc., upfront without the developer having to pa for this at the beginning of the development and it also allows the debt to be spread out over a 15 or 20 year period of time. He stated with the 500 home limitation this would eliminate this type of financing. Mayor Casler stated Proposition E and Proposition G could not work together and Council Members would have to decide which one they were going to support. Council Member Kulchin stated the Council Growth Program did place a cap on the number of homes that could be built. No development would be allowed without all the public facilities being in place. She stated one is a master plan for the entire city and the other is a number picked out of the air. Mayor Casler stated the funding for the library is a critical issue. The options are to put it into the CIP, to defer it to 3anuary 1987 or defer until the first local facility management plan is submitted. Mayor Casler recommended this item be continued for one week to allow staff to respond to questions and revise wording where appropriate. This would not be continuing the public hearing, just the discussion on the Growth Management Program. Council continued the discussion on the Growth Management Program to September 23, 1986, to allow staff to revise wording where appropriate. For clarification, Mike Holzmiller stated the powerline easements cannot be used in the density calculations, but can be used as open space or parks and could be counted as the 15% requirement for open space. HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: Council adjourned to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission at 8:40 p.m., and reconvened at 8:47 p.m., with all Members present. (98) 12.

AB /I8438 - Supplement 83 - SLOPE STABILIZATION - (45) STAGECOACH PARK. Ray Patchett, Assistant City Manager, gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill, using transparencies to show Stagecoach Park and to show the alternative routes considered for relocating the waterline. Mr. Patchett listed the alternatives and their advantages and disadvantages, but concluded the recommendation of staff was to stabilize the slope. Mike Hart, Geocon of San Diego, explained the safety factor involved, using a transparency to indicate the 1.5 safety factor required. Ray Patchett continued the report, using a transparency to show the budget details regarding the costs of this slope stabilization. Dave Bradstreet, Director of Parks and Recreation Department, outlined the cost estimate as contained in Exhibit E of the agenda bill The second item was a request for a change order for this work instead of going out to bid. A transparency was used to indicate the comparison between the change order and bid proposals, indicating the money to be saved by issuing a change order. The current schedule on the park was for completion as of February 1987. With a change order for this work, that would be moved up to May of 1987, but if it is sent out to bid it would be August. Council adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 8776, APPROVING SLOPE STABILIZATION WORK TO BE DONE BY CHAMAC, INC. AND APPROVING THE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PR03ECT BUDGET TO COVER THE COST OF THE ADDITIONAL REQUIRED WORK.

He asked Council to table any endorsement of this comprehensive land use plan, stating it is inadequate, incomplete and inaccurate. He stated the report does not address or assess the low flying aircraft over residences. This is a problem of noise as well as safety. He stated he lived near the school and about two miles southeast of the runway. Mr. Kindle stated there are near misses constantly and aircrafts flying in violation of the approach patterns and restrictions against low flying. He asked Council to send the plan back to SANDAG and insist the matter of the low altitude flights over recognized noise sensitive areas be evaluated and addressed. Mayor Casler suggested the City Manager get a report from the airport manager, Mr. Severson, regarding the complaints stated by Mr. Kindle. Council directed the City Manager to investigate the complaints listed by Mr. Kindle of low flying aircraft and violation in the landing patterns. Council directed its representative to SANDAG to support the adoption of the draft McClellan - Palomar Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan. (78) 15.
