Council recognized Sal ly Lyons, 7019 Lavender,
Carlsbad. Mrs. Lavender spoke in favor of the zone
change. She stated that she did not feel that the
existing street would hold the additional traffic
that wou Id be generated by the proposed commercia I
development. She requested that council consider
the request for the zone change.*
Council recognized Mr. Robert E. Meyer, 7133 Linden
Terrace, Car lsbad. Mr. Meyer, with the aid of
transparencies, showed the proximity of the proposed
development to the existing homes at Sea Cliff as well
as location of the single gated entrance to Sea Cliff.
He i nd icated that the res idents are concerned with
safety, access, increased traffic, decrease in value
of their homes, decrease in gate security, refuse and
access problems for safety vehicles trying to enter
Sea Cliff. He also requested that council consider
the request for re-zoning.
Counci 1 recogn ized Mr. Joe Reed, 1008 Daisy Ave,
Carlsbad. Mr. Reed stated that he is a resident of
the Sp i nnaker H i 1 Is development, and a member of the
Southwest Quadrant Homeowners Coalition, which
represents 3,000 homes in the area of 1-5 and
Poinsettia Lane. He stated that the homeowners in the
area are not in favor of the proposed project and feel
that it w i I I increase traf f ic prob lems in the area and
I ead to grid lock. He stated that they support the
request of the Sea Cliff Homeowners Association to
rezone the property.
Counci 1 recognized Mr. Nick Banche, Attorney, 810
M i ss ion Avenue, Oceans ide, representing the deve I oper,
American Assets. Mr. Banche stated that the council,
in 1982, had estab I ished the current zoning on the
parcel, at the suggestion of the Planning Department
staff. He stated that staff knew at that time how mar
units were to be constructed in the area and felt thal
the present zoning was proper for the site. He statec
that the developer has met with the homeowners during
the process to let them know what is being planned for
the site and to get feed back from them. He also
commented that the proposed change of zone to lrO1l
would allow for a much larger building, probably more
than one story, in the same area. Mr. Banche then
requested that the developer be al lowed to continue tc
process his project under the present zoning.
Council stated that if the matter were allowed to
continue to process if would have to go through public
hearings both at the Planning Commission and possibly
the Council, and that would give the opportunity
for more pub 1 ic input on the project. Dur i ng the
hearings, al I issues and concerns could be addressed,
and a decision made on the project as part of that
process.
