the property owners and staff for their cooperation.
He requested Council approval of the plan.
Dwight Spires, Laurel Tree Investment Company, 2892
3efferson Street, one of the property owners, discussed
the preparation of the zone plan, thanking staff and
all others involved in working out the details of the
plan. He asked for Council approval of the Zone Plan.
William Daugherty, 2600 La Golondrim Street, stated
this plan showed that the Traffic Circulation Element is
deficient and recommended approval of the circulation
plan be withheld until the problems were worked out.
Mr. Daugherty felt an alternative to putting more roads
in would be to channel the traffic flow and reduce the
overall traffic in north county and through Carlsbad.
Mr. Daugherty suggested the need for a comprehensive
public transportation system. He recommended a
committee to revise the Traffic Circulation Plan and
establish a plan to channel the traffic flow.
Scott Parker, McKellar Development of La 3o11a 9 owner
of the property known as Cobblestone Sea VIllage, Tract
84-32, spoke in support of the Zone Plan.
Don Woodward, Custom Living Homes, 5100 Campus Drive,

Mamgement Plan) that is now being used by other
government agencies in handling the tough issue of
growth.
Don Connors, 9 21 Begonia Court, Spinraker Hills,
expressed concern with the park decision, stating there
is a so-called "park" in Spinmker Hills that is so
steep that it cannot be used by humans. He said if
parks are to be used by people, Council should be
careful about the land they accept.
Phil Carter stated that at one time the City accepted
park land from developers that was not usable as a
park. However, that is no longer true, and all park
land that is dedicated must be usable land or it is not
acceptable to the City.
Mayor Lewis closed the Public Hearing at 6:59 p.m.

approve any development, but does allow the City to

circulation, road and bridge improvements. He stated
that staff has worked with CalTrans and the State for

Poinsettia and Palomr Airport Road. With the Growth
Management Plan, the City can now predict when
intersections and roadways will fail and can plan how to correct that.

Mike Holzmiller, Planning Director, gave the staff
report as contained in the Agenda Bill.

is not decreased and the quality of open space is not I dimi ni shed!!.

Dan Hammer, 4015 Isle Drive, spoke in support of the
proposal to extend the ordim nce and the suggestions
made by the Planning Commission. He said that now
there is a mechanism to protect open space, but that more than a citizens committee is needed. He
concluded, stating the open space policies need to be
reformed.
Deborah Rosentha 1, 4000 kcArthur , Newport Beach,
representing Hughes North County Plaza, asked for a clarification of the ordinance with regard to the
Hughes property. She stated there was a problem with the map, in that a small parcel north of the Buem
Vista Cha nnel was not open space and excluded from that
zone. She submitted a letter to Mr. Holzmiller
requesting a statement be included in the record if it was not possible to revise the wp to m ke a nota tion
that the smaII. parcel of Hughes property in parcel 2
was not intended to be covered by that.
