AB /I9099 - Supplement #I - RESOLUTION GRANTING Kulchin >( APPEAL AND DENYING CUP 87-2 - APOSTOLIC ASSEMBLY CHURCH. Alexa Holmes, 1344 Pine Avenue, addressed Council stating the only issue is land use. William games Morrow, 1210 Pine Avenue, spoke against granting the CUP, stating the only issue was the proper and prudent use of a 90 x 200 foot residental lot in the eleven hundred block of Pine Avenue. The lot would only allow construction of a maximum of two family dwellings, which would impact the neighborhood much less than a 135 seating capacity church with no room to expand. Mr. Morrow stated the area is saturated with activity and can't handle a high-use development in that area. He reiterated the high traffic volume and dangerous intersection at Pine, Basswood and Eureka, along with the other high density uses, already contribute to the congestion in the area. William M. Smith, 1671 games Avenue, stated he would not read the letter he wrote to the Council as long as it was entered into the record. He referred to the last paragraph of the letter where he asked Council Members to attend this church and give themselves more time before they commit the City to an unpleasant situation. Cx/ 0 a MINUTES August 4, 1987 Page 4 Patrick Hallinan, 1366 Pine Avenue. was recognized by Council and stated this was a land use issue. and could result in the loss of peace and serenity for the neighborhood. He felt there were other sites that would be more suitable for this church and asked the church to look elsewhere for a site where there were no problems with congestion. Shiela Musser, 1232 Pine Avenue, addressed Council stating the traffic in this area has worsened, and five stop signs have been installed recently. She stated her concern for a well-planned land use in this area. 3ohn Thorndike, 295 Chestnut, Apt. 119, referred to a memorandum he had written to Council. He stated the moving of the church to the proposed location would certainly be an improvement over the present location. He added landowners cannot be prevented from building on their property unless it can be proven it would impose a burden upon the public. In this instance, the City would have to prove this would impose such a burden. Kevin McCann, Attorney for the applicant, stated the church had a right to have their church in this location, and the feelings of the neighborhood could not be the ruling force. He said the off-street parking requirements were adequate, the access was approved by staff, and the noise mitigation and aesthetic qualities were approved by staff. In answer to concerns about parking, Mr. McCann showed slides taken on a Sunday morning at different times, showing empty parking spaces in that area. Mr. McCann stated the applicant had agreed to enter into an agreement with the City and the neighbors to allow public parking at the church site during non-church hours. Also, the office building at Pine and Pi0 Pic0 would agree to enter into a reciprocal parking agreement to allow the church to use their 15 parking spaces. Mr. McCann asked the Council to re-think their position and allow the church to conduct services in the neighborhood. Pastor guan Hernandez, 178 Edgewood Drive, Oceanside, spoke on behalf of the Apostolic Church, stating the members of this church are also members of the neighborhood and also use the park. He stated the members are willing to work with the neighbors and the City, as many of them are also property owners. Pastor Hernandez asked Council to give the church the support it needs to build its church. In answer to Council query, Pastor Hernandez stated the church wuld use the building nine to ten hours a week for I services. 26D COUNCIL \p % 4 3 MEMBERS % q 0 MINUTES 0 (97) (102) \v 5 August 4, 1987 COUNCIL ?3 9A Page 5 MEMBERS % 4 Mike Holzmiller stated a CUP can be conditioned in any way Council determined, as long as it was reasonable anlf did not restrict the use requested to the point where i.; could not functionally operate. This church could be restricted as far as use, hours of operation, landscaping, parking, and even as to the number of members since that related to parking. In answer to Council query regarding traffic, 3ohn Cahill stated the recently completed improvements in that area called for three stop signs. As the improvements neared completion, it became apparent the existing configuration was not working, so two additional stop signs were installed. A transparency was used to show the intersection and the additional stop signs. Bob Johnson, Traffic Engineer, in answer to Council query, stated the last traffic count was taken in 1985, and this added traffic would not create a problem for the street. Council Member Pettine stated he questioned the compatibility of the land use and would need to look at the conditions. Council Member Kulchin stated the street in the area is narrow and inadequate for the proposed use and this would add to an already heavily impacted area. Council Members Mamaux and Larson commented on the existing traffic impacts in the area. Mayor Lewis stated he felt the traffic could be handled because of the hours of the church functions. Council adopted the following Resolution: Lewis RESOLUTION NO. 91 87, GRANTING THE APPEAL AND Pettine OVERTURNING THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION Mamaux GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A CHURCH TO Larson BE BUILT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1198 PINE AVENUE. The City Attorney stated, for the record, that there was a typograhical error on page 2, line 18, of the Resolution wherein the word "site" would be changed to flparkl'.

Tom Anthony, 1378 San Pablo Drive, San Marcos, owner of the La Costa Meadows Industrial Center, addressed Council, stating he was not opposed to a median on Rancho Santa Fe Road, as this would make the road safer, but he did not want his driveways closed. Mr. Anthony stated there are over 1,200 people working in the industrial park, and most of those people must exit La Costa Meadows Drive. Mr. Anthony felt there should be a signal at La Costa Meadows Drive and Rancho Santa Fe Road, and also one at Questhaven Road. Hugh Terrell, Executive Vice President of the PTA, La Costa Elementary School, spoke about the death of one of the parents at this intersection and referred to the petition signed with regard to that intersection. He stated he was in favor of Ultimate Alternate No.1 and Interim Alternative No. 2, if there is a signalized intersection. If not, Mr. Terrell stated he favored Interim Alternative No. 1. Since no one else wished to speak on this item, the public hearing was closed at 7:30 p.m. Council approved Ultimate Alternative No. 1, maintaining the current alignment of Rancho Santa Fe Road; and instructed staff to attempt to complete agreements with San Marcos, San Diego County and La Costa Land Company to implement Interim Alternative No. 2 within 30 days.

Mike Holzmiller, Planning Director, gave the initial report, with Charles Grimm, Assistant Planning Director, continuing the report, using transparencies to show Zone 5. He explained Zone 5 consists of non- residential land uses, and a chart was used to indicate the existing development. Mr. Grimm reported on the eleven public facilities as contained in the memorandum report from the Planning Director. He called attention to Fire Station #5, stating should it not be funded through the CIP, the burden for funding would then shift to the development community; otherwise development will stop. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing at 8:08 p.m., and issued the invitation to speak. Ronald Rouse, Attorney, 2111 Palomar Airport Road, spoke on behalf of the four major property owners, stating they were basically in agreement with the Facilities Plan for Zone 5. However, they did request some changes and modifications as contained in his letter dated 3uly 1, 1987, to the Planning Commission. Mr. Rouse stated new standards and/or fees were not authorized as part of the Local Facilities Plans, and other zone plans had been approved without new standards and fees. He felt such fees should not apply to industrial and commercial development; particularly, with regard to parks fees. He stated the buildings had been built to contain open space and recreational facilities that would be applicable to such businesses. Mr. Rouse stated he recognized the need for parks in residential communities, but would rather see those funds expended in residential communilties where the need exists. The proposed fee of 50 cents per foot is vastly disproportionate to the existing fees attached to the residential sector. He stated the park fee should be on a city-wide basis. Bill Miller, 73 Engineer Road, San Diego, representing Koll Company, addressed Council showing charts indicating the share of PFF paid by Zone 5, and stated he felt they had made an adequate contribution to the park fund. ~ 257 1. 0 0 MINUTES August 4, 1987 Page 8 - - PUBLIC HEARINGS: (Continued) Dean Greenberg, President of Centre Development, 2111 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 300, used graphs to indicat San Diego vs Carlsbad office occupancy and industrial occupancy, indicating the Carlsbad market is weak. He also used graphs to indicate City fees and those of adjacent cities, showing Carlsbad fees higher. He indicated if the additional fee is imposed, this would drive the demand factor into surrounding cities. t! Another chart was used to indicate the fees in Zone 5, and Mr. Greenberg stated he felt, as a major property owner, the City should re-consider the economic realities of industry's present situation in light of the proposed fees and alternative financing for Zone 5. William Hartman, 1132 Melrose Way, Vista, business address 6200 El Camino Real, representing Beckman Instruments, stated he had been asked to represent Beckman Instruments with regard to the impact these fee may have on the future growth at 6200 El Camino Real. He told of the plans for development on the south and north sides of the road, and stated they are engaged in the production of health care products throughout the world. This is a competitive market and any increase i the costs means they may lose art to their competition. 3im Shaw, Grubb & Ellis, 2121 Palomar Airport Road, spoke on the economic impact of additional fees on industrial and commercial development, stating this impact would be profound and would create a loss to the real estate people in lost tenants. He asked Council t consider that impact before imposing additional fees. < r 1 Since no one else wished to speak on this item, the public hearing was closed at 8:34 p.m. Council Member Mamaux felt the proposed fee should be studied with regard to making it City-wide. If fees ar established in Zone 5, it would only be fair and reasonable to enter into an agreement with property owners for a reasonable payback on a phasing of construction program, for the increased investment they must make. € , Council Member Larson agreed and added he would not lik to see a fee set this evening. The Parks & Recreation Commission should study this and assess the need. Also, they should determine whether this should be a City-wid fee. I Council Member Kulchin stated she supported the concept of a recreational fee, and agreed this should be returned to the Parks & Recreation Commission. Council Member Pettine concurred, adding specific costs should be determined, as he would not want to price the developers out of the market. Mayor Lewis concurred, stating this should be returned to staff to be sent to the Parks & Recreation Commissio for review.

Council adopted the Negative Declaration issued by Lewis the Planning Director, and adopted the following Kulchin Resolution, amended to reflect that the concept of Pettine X a recreation fee would be reviewed by the Parks & Marnaux Recreation Commission, with a final determination by Council: RESOLUTION NO. 9188, APPROVING A LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT ZONE 5. 15. AB 119118 - ZONE 3 BOUNDARY AD3USTMENT FOR CAR COUNTRY EXPANSION. Mike Holzmiller, Planning Director, gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill, using a transparency to show the area to be added to the zone. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing at 8:58 p.m., and issued the invitation to speak. Mike Ryan, 6994 El Camino Real, General Partner, owners of eight acres adjacent to Stagecoach Park, referred to his letter dated 3uly 16, 1987, addressed to Ray Patchett. He inquired about the adjustment to this Zone 3 and asked about the procedures for others if they had similar requests. Mr. Ryan questioned why this request was not reviewed by the Planning Commission. Since no one else wished to speak on this item, the public hearing was closed at 9:Ol p.m. Mike Holzmiller stated the ordinance does not require zone boundaries be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Mr. Holzmiller added guidelines would have to be developed for zone boundary changes, but currently, requests go to the City Manager's office for staff act ion.

AB R9119 - APPEAL OF CITY ENGINEER'S DECISION - MINOR SUBDIVISION #746 - CONSTANTINO MEDINA. Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer, gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill, using a transparency to show a plat of the project. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing at 9:13 p.m., and issued the invitation to speak. Kevin McCann, Attorney, 1905 Apple Street, Ste. 5, referred to the letter submitted to Council regarding this matter. He stated the applicant had dedicated land to the City with the vested right to proceed with the subdivision. He asked the Ci.ty to approve the appeal in that the City asked for land in conjunction with the Cynthia Lane Assessment District, with assurances that subdividing could take place. Linda Swinland, 1319 Knowles Avenue, spoke in support of the City's denial of the appeal, telling of the atmosphere and character of the area. This is old Carlsbad and should not be changed. If smaller parcels of land are allowed, that would change the area. Iola Oathout, 1453 Buena Vista Way, adresssed Council, stating she did not want the street put through. They had been told by the City they could divide their property into four parcels if they approved the Cynthia Lane Assessment District. Mrs. Oathout felt it would be more compatible with the surrounding area if the parcel were divided into four lots. Cecil Oathout, 1453 Buena Vista Way, stated he could not understand why the City put in the laterals on the cul- de-sac, since the laterals would only be required if the property were subdivided. Don Dominquez, 1288 Knowles Avenue, asked whether this was an absol-ute decision, as he had also been told he could subdivide his property into two lots. Frank Lin, 1320 Knowles Avenue, stated he had received the same promise from the City. Since no one else wished to speak on this item, the public hearing was closed at 9:27 p.m. Marty Orenyak stated this was a question of time. He had told Mr. Dominquez if he would wait until the Zone 1 Plan was approved, they would make a finding that the lots can be split into four parcels. The City did not intend to back away from its word. Zone 1 is waiting to come to Council at this time. They will have to justify the numbers in the zone and the balance available in the quadrant, but staff had no concerns with that.

This would allow the applicant to re-file the map when the City is in a position to give consideration, without a second set of fees.

Council Member Larson referred to his memorandum dated August 4, 1987, regarding the public comment period and public hearings. He stated when the 1O:OO p.m. curfew approaches, the citizens should have a chance to give their public testimony on items, when they cannot returr to the next Council Meeting. He felt no one should be discouraged from speaking before Council. The public comment period could be divided into two sections, with the period at the end of the meeting to remain as it is, and perhaps two people using ten minutes at the beginning of the meeting, with their text presented early enough to be part of the agenda packet. Council Member Kulchin stated she liked the intent of Council Member Larson's comments, but the problem with the text being included in the packet was they need ten working days. She stated anyone could get on the agenda by writing a letter, and when they write the letter and get a place on the agenda, Council can respond to their remarks. Any comment made during the Public Comment time cannot be discussed by Council at that time. a53 rl) e MINUTES August 4, 1987 Page 12 DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: Council Member Pettine suggested closing off discussions at 9:45 p.m., to allow time for the Public Comment. Mayor Lewis stated he agreed there should be a Public Comment time every session. If a citizen wants to address the Council, a letter should be written to the City and the citizen's request will be placed on the agenda. Due to the time, Council continued this item. PUBLIC COMMENT: Mario Monroy, 3610 Carlsbad Boulevard, addressed Counci asking for the cost of xeroxing a page of information for a citizen, as the City Clerk's office charges 15 cents per page.

Dennis Meehan, 3981 Gloria Lane, stated the Public Comment section of Council was an appropriate forum for candidates to speak and that should not be discouraged. He stated he was not aware a citizen could write a letter and have an item placed on the agenda. He felt that was an important bit of news that should be published. COUNCIL REPORTS: Mayor Lewis reported that the Carlsbad Bobby Sox are involved in the Regionals this year and are again requesting a donation of $500 from the City. Council directed that the approval of the donation be placed on a future Agenda.
