7. GPA/LU 85-4/ZC-329/AHLUP 85-1 CITY OF CARLSBAD - A
General Plan Anendment from RC (Recreational Ccmnercial)
to RM (Medium Density) or RLM (Low-Medium Density), a Zone
Change fron RT (Residential-Tourist) and R-l-1500 to R-DM
(Multiple Density) or R-l-1500, and an amendment to the
Agua Hedionda Land Use Plan.
Charles Grintn, principal Planner, gave the presentation on
this item as contained in the staff report, and described
the history behind the amendment. He indicated that staff
recotrtnended that the Snug Harbor area be divided into two
areas.
Acting Chairman Rombotis asked what the area to the south
was and Charles Griitin answered him.
Commissioner McFadden mentioned the proposed density
changes coming from the land use elanent revision group
would affect the RLM designations. Charles Grimm' replied
that this particular category would still have a maximum
of 4 du/ac and lot size would be governed by the R-15000
zone as proposed.
Acting Chairman Rombotis opened the public testimony at
8:30 pjn. and issued the invitation to speak.
Mr. Edmund Dominguez, 4378 Adams, Carlsbad, discussed the
process involved and mentioned that one thing was omitted
from staff's report: physical characteristics of the
property that would provide more of a buffer than appeared
on the plot map on the wall. He indicated that he felt
that the recommendations made by staff should be supported
and urged the Commission to do so.
Mr. Joe Gallagher, 1165 Hoover, Carlsbad, spoke in favor
of the change as proposed by staff.
Mr. Nick Banche, 810 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, indicated
he was present on behalf of the Eisners and Mr. Parker,

LAND USE PLANNING OFFICE
SUBJECT: CUP-266(A) - CITY OF CARLPBAD - Request for a
conditional use permit to construct an 18 acre community
park at the southeast corner of Elm and Tamarack Avenues
in the P-C zone.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution
No. 2444 APPROVING CUP-266 based on the findings and subject to
the conditionscontained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This item is an amendment to a conditional use permit for the
development of an 18 acre park. Glasgow Drive will border the
southern and easterly edges of the park, Tamarack borders the
western edge and Elm Avenue borders the northern edge. This
property has been designated as a community park site by the
Calavera Hills Master Plan and the City of Carlsbad Recreation
Element of the General Plan.
At the present time the City owns the southerly portion of the
park site. Per conditions of the Calavera Hills Master Plan,
the northerly half of the park site will be dedicated to the
City by the developer of Villages E-1, H, K, L-2, 0, R, T, U, W,
X, and Y after approval of all tentative maps for these
villages, but prior to approval of any of the final maps for
these villages. Staff expects this to occur this year.
On the January 23rd Planning Commission meeting a CUP was
granted for development of the southern section of the park
only. That was because the owner of the yet to be dedicated
northern poriton of the park would not give his permission to
process a CUP on his property. The owner has since given his
permission to proceed with both the CUP and grading on his
property. The City now seeks to amend the CUP and gain approval
on the entire park site.
With the addition of new information the park plan has been
refined. As shown on the exhibits the park will consist of:
1) Three lighted ballfields with one multi-use soccer
field overlay.
2) Two lighted tennis courts.
3) Two lighted half court basketball facilities.
4) Approximately 160 parking stalls
5) A Community Center/Gymnasium building.
6) A restroom/concession/storage building.
7) A play area.
8) A group picnic area.
9) Individual table areas.
10) A natural area.
11) A fire station site.
This new plan reflects the following changes from the previously
approved site plan.
1) A reduction of 5 to 3 ballfields.
2) Elimination of the southern access off of Glasgow.
3) More passive use areas.
The CUP is to approve the total park design. Phasing of
construction is currently estimated as follows:
1) Phase I - grade entire site; install park improvements
on southern section only. Estimated completion is
August of 1986.
2) Phase II - install park improvements in northern
section (excluding community center/gymnasium
buildinq) . Estimated completion is unknown.
3} Phase III - build community center building. Estimated
completion is unkown.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Can the four findings recruired for approval of a
Conditional Use Permit, be made? Specifically:
a) That the requested use is necessary or desirable
for the development of the community; is
essentially in harmony with various elements and
objectives of the general plan, and is not
detrimental to existing uses or to uses
specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is to be located;
b) That the site for the intended use is adequate in
size and shape to accommodate the use;
-2-
c) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences,
landscaping and other features necessary to adjust
the requested use to existing or permitted future
uses in the neighborhood will be provided and
maintained;
d) That the street system serving the proposed use is
adequate to properly handle all traffic generated
by the proposed use.
Discussion
The requested use is necessary for the development of the
community. As the Commission is aware, there is a serious lack
of playing fields in Carlsbad. This project will provide a
number of playing fields in one of the fastest growing portions
of the City.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to existing and future
uses in•the area. The southern portion of this site has always
been designated as a park site by the Calavera Hills Master
Plan. The northern half was originally designated as a
commercial site, but a General Plan and Master Plan Amendment in
February 1984 redesignated the northern portion as a park site.
This park has been designed to minimize its effect on the
adjacent residences. The hours of use will be limited to
between 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. Heavy landscaping along
Glasgow and a native area supplemented by landscaping along the
southerly edge of the park will buffer existing residences from
activity within the park.
The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
proposed use. This site is large enough to provide a wide
variety of active play areas, as well as on site parking.
Overflow parking will be available along Glasgow Drive a local
collector bordering the easterly and southerly portions of the
park.
All of the setbacks, fences, landscaping and other features
necessary to adjust this use to the adjacent residential uses
will be maintained. As mentioned previously heavy landscaping
along with a natural area will separate the park from residences
to the south and east.
The street system serving the proposed use is adequate to
properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed park.
Residents of the Colony have expressed concerns to the City about
traffic generated by the proposed park. They were particularly
concerned about traffic on Glasgow Drive. In response to these
concerns the City's Traffic Engineer completed a traffic impact
study for the proposed park in July, 1984. This study concluded
that the adjacent street system was adequate to handle the
traffic generated by the proposed park. In the past the
-3-
northerly 10 acres of the park site was designated for commercial
development. The study prepared by the City's Traffic Engineer
pointed out that the proposed 18 acre park would generate far
less traffic then a 10 acre commercial site adjacent to an 8 acre
park.
Access to the park will be from Glasgow Avenue a local collector.
Staff has examined the possibility of gaining access to the site
from Tamarack Avenue. Steep slopes and heavy traffic make it
infeasible to gain access from Tamarack Avenue. If the site had
to gain access from Tamarack Avenue it would necessitate a
substantial redesign of the park and substantially reduce the
amount of recreational facilities that could be put into the
park. In addition an access road from Tamarack Avenue to the
level portion of the park site would have to be extremely steep
due to the elevation of the park site above Tamarack Avenue. To
provide adequate line of site vision at the intersection of an
access road onto Tamarack Avenue a substantial airount of grading
back into the park site would be required.
In conclusion, all four findings required for the approval of a
conditional use permit can be made, therefore, staff recommends
approval of CUP-266.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined this project has
already been considered in conjunction with a previously
certified environmental document and, therefore, has issued a
Notice of Prior Environmental Compliance, dated May 9, 1985.
