3- Oral Communications:
There were no oral communications.
4- Written Cmunications:
a. Letter dated February 18, 1960, from the San Diego County Planning Congress,
requesting each member Comnission to submit copy for the 1960 issue of their
"Date and Progress Reports", including the following: one copy of our "Data
Reportck containing information included in and in the same form as the 1958
issue; one copy of our "Progress ReportEb for the calendar year 1959, containing
highlights of a few of our major problems and accomplishments; a list of
Commission members and officers and the name of our Planning Congress Director
and Alternate as of March, 1960. The Commission directed the Secretary to
send the requested information.
Enclosed with the above letter was an invitation to a luncheon meeting of the
Board of Directors of the San Diego County Planning Congress, to be held
February 29th at the Mission Valley Inn, The Secretary pointed out that
each year the Comnission selects a member to represent them on the San Diego
County Planning Congress, and that one should be selected for this year.
The Chairman deferred selecting a representative to later in the meeting
under "New Business".
Notice of hearing was read. The Secretary certified as to the publication of
notice of hearing and the mailing of notices to property owners in the area.
The Secretary then read Resolution of Intention No, P3 and stated that there
was no written correspondence on this matter.
The Secretary reviewed the matter, pointing out that when property is annexed
to the City, it comes in under R-1 zoning unless other provision is made.
This property is being used for agricultural purposes at the present time,
A Committee of the Comission investigated it, and they recommended the change to R-A to conform to present use.
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:45 PA
After discussion, it was moved by Comnissioner Ward and seconded by Commissioner
Zahler that Resolution No, 150 be adopted, recommending to the City Council
that the property described in Resolution of fntention No, 13 be re-zoned
from R-1 to RIA for the following reasons:
1. R-A zoning would permit land use comparable to its present use. 2. Not to re-zone the land would create a hardship for the property
3. There were no oral or written protests.
Owners
The Chairman asked for a roll call vote.
AYES: Chairman Stringer, Coa~dssioners Zahler, Ward, Thomas, Miller
and Jarvie.
ABSENT: Commissioner Netka.
Resolution No, 150 adopted.
6- Study Session:
a. Commissioner Jarvie brought up the question of why Vista could not pump
their sewer effluent to the back country for irrigation use by growers, rather
than pumping it into Buena Vista Creek and more or less spoiling the area for
future industrial development
Donald Briggs, noted grower in the area, was present and he brought out the
fact that there must be suitable back country to pump it to, and that some
flowers.could not use the effluent for irrigation.
b. Considerable discussion was given the matter of required improvements for
re-zoning of property to R-3. The Secretary pointed out that there is no
provision in Ordinance 9060 which requires alleys. The Subdivision Ordinance
(9050) provides that where there is a subdivision of property which will be
used for multiple-family purposes, alleys must be provided, It appears that
the use of the land and subdivision of the land are following two separate
categories. Regarding potential R-3 property, Ordinance 9060 states that
there must be a precise plan accompanying the application for translating the
potential zone from its present zone into the zone that is designated as a
potential zone. However, it does not say what that plan must be.
The Commission came to the conclusion that it should obtain some professional
counselling on this matter, Therefore, Conmissioner Zahler moved, seconded
by Cammissioner Jarvie that the Secretary contact Gordon Whitnall 6 Associates
to obtain a professional opinion on the matter, All ayes, motion carried.
"
C. The question of whether the street name Mountain View Drive should be
changed to Ocean Street was given consideration. The Commission felt that
it should not be changed, since this would create two Ocean Streets running
parallel with conflicting house numbers. They felt that the best solution
for the present time was to move the street sign marked "Ocean Street" from
the intersection of Carlsbad Blvd. and Mountain View to the intersection of Mountain View and Ocean Street. This matter can be taken up again at some
future time when the Planning Commission considers the house numbering system
throughout the City. By common consent of the Commission, the secretary was
instructed to handle the matter of having the street sign moved.
d. New Businesst
(1) Chairman Stringer appointed Comnissioner Thomas as Carlsbad's repre-
sentative to the San Diego Planning Congress for this year and Comnissioner
Ward as alternate. By cmon consent of the Commission, they were both authorized to attend the luncheon meeting on February 29th; luncheon
expenses will be taken care of.
(2) Chairman Stringer brought up the matter of a cross street from Roosevelt
to Madison between Grand and Laguna. The Conmission members all agreed
that putting this cross street through would be of great benefit to the
City. The Secretary stated that the Conmission could recmend that funds
be allocated in the budget for acquisition of the necessary property for
opening this street, when the budget request from the Commission is sub-
mitted. They brought up the possibility of putting this under a 1911 Act.
The Secretary was instructed to obtain as much infoxmation as possible on
the project, and then it would be discussed at a later meeting in the light
of all pertinent facts.
e. Old Business:
(1) A question was brought up regarding the progress of the Dinius and Koyl
property. The Chairman stated he had been informed that Mr. Dinius has
started 1911 Act proceedings and also has a re-zoning petition. He is
asking for a re-zone of the Westerly portion only, to M zone, between the proposed street and the railroad right-of-way. It will be up to the Commission to either grant this re-zone on the Westerly portion or hold
back until there is a plan for the Easterly portion also.
70 By proper motion, the meeting was adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Secretary
