Notice of hearing was read. The Secretary certified as to publication of notice of hearing and the mailing of notices to property owners in the area. The Secretary was requested to read the names of the property owners who had been notified. The Secretary read iiesolution of Intention No. 18. Chairman Jarvie explained that this had come before the Commission at its last meet- ing In the form of a request from Mr. Macey for a zone chmge but had failed to be granted for lack of a majority vote so the Planning Cmission ini- tiated a Resolution of Intention to reclassify this property. MR.. MAX EWALB, 3308 Belle Lane stated that there was no change from the map as ii: was presented before except for the C-1 zone being deleted. He intro- duced Mr. Wood of Kimberly Investment Corp. and stated that he was sure that everyone was familiar with the cove at this time and that they weee just there to answer any questions. ARTHUR GLISSMAN, 4400 Park Drive, stated that he thought these people were ready to go and this is one of the chief things to help the lagoon. He felt that it was time for this to be rezoned. He said his taxes were $802,00 and those were not residential taxes. He did not think it shoald be held up. 0.1). SMITH, 4509 Adams said that he concurred with the developer and Mr. Glissman. He stated that it was time to make steps forward and that this would be an asset to the city o€ Carlsbad. BOB ROMBOTIS, 3009 West Florence Ave., Los Angeles, stated they owned some 160 acres next to Mr. Phipps property and that they were also in favor of this reclassification not only for the good of the legoon but for the good of Carlsbad. MR. WOODS stated that he would like to answer any questions of anyone who was opposed to this reclassification. MR. DAVID BAIRD, 5263 Shore Drive, stated he owns property across the street from this development and that he would like to go back to the original planning of this area. At the time the master plan was being made, they said th:lr, aYea needed further study. He said if LlSs were going to be another case of spot zoning, then 112 should vigorously oppose it. It is not right unless it is all rezoned and there is adequate sewerage. A study should be mde of the lagoon area. MR. EWALD stated that the only thing he could add is that the buyer knows the area has to be sewered and he has to meet subdivision ordinances and he is ready and willing to do this. It can't do anything but enhance the area and will set a trend rather than have a hodge podge. MR. RAY WOOD, Law Bldg., S. Anaheim, stated that it was as Mr. Ewald said. They were prepared to carry out the main plan as prepared here. Where the present landing is they are goirig to come back almost 1000 ft. and sewer quite a distance away. This is the initial investment on the lagoon. He believed their plans were sound. Financially it will mean $350,000 to his company which is a sizable sum, and they are willing to spend more to keep up to tract plans. Chairman Jarvie pointed out to Mr. Baird that these men really have a plan and asked if he didn't think it was a place to start and then others want- ing a reclassification could make a request. MR. BAIRD stated that he built these houses as soon as the lagoon was dredged. nice residential area with a lot requirement of 15,000 sq. ft. and you look out at latrines thpt water skiers have in the summhr. Since this development is desirable, why not rezone all this area. Nobody is going to rpend the money to develop this property except as tourist. '&I? public hearing was closed at 8:lO P.M. 711~:~ was some discussion about the noise on the lagoon which starts as ~arly as 5 A.M. when the people start to get the boats warmed up and that scmc of the Conditional Use Permits there are not too pleasant, It was decided that the property owners could get together and present a request for a zone change for the rest of them, Chairman Jarvie stated thst there was talk of a sewer project for that part of town and maybe something like this would get it started, .A motion was made by Commissioner Hardwick and seconded by Commissioner Kist- ler that Resolution NI~ 186 be adopted recomnending adoption of Resolution of Intention No. 18 for the following reasons: 1. That such reclassification will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. 2. That the reclassification will not adversely affect the com- prehensive general plan. 3. A project of this type is the best use to which land of this type could be put. The Chairmen asked for a roll call vote. - _- ..' , Resolution No. 186 adopted. 6.. HEARING - RESOLUTION OF INTENTION - ..'..k2iRdment to Ordinance 9060 - Removal " - _.L of Potential R-3 from R-1 zones. Notice of hearing was read. The Secretary certified as to publication of notice of hearing, He then read Resolution of Intnetion No. 17. MIW. BONDY, 1150 Pine, stated that his property lay between Pine and Oak and he had been trying to get action on it €or several years. He feels their property is worthless zoned the way it is and that what was being done tonight was what should be done. Too much property was not being used. If the zone could be changed to R-3 it would be beneficial. The public hearing was closed at 8:25. There was considerable discussion about the fact that thc. property in this area had been penalized by the freeway and that it wqs substandard R-1 property. Chairman Jarvie felt that the city should help these property owners by being flexible. Mrs. Aletha Vaughn has 2 acres there which would be nice for a motel and could get a buyer for it tomorrow if it did not have the Potential i:-3 zone hanging over it. It was brought out that the owners in Potential R-3 zones had to file precise plans in order to trans- late the zoning from R-1 to R-3. A motion was made by Commissioner Kistler and seconded by Commissioner Hughes that Resolution No. 187 be adopted reconmending adoption of Resolu- tion of Intention No. 17 for the following reasons: 1. That the conversion by precise planning from R-1 to R-3 of properties that are in Potential R-3 zones places requirements on the owners seeking to convert the zoning of their property from R-1 to R-3 that other R-1 property owners are not required to meet, and there- by creates inequities. 2. The boundaries of some R-1 property with a Potential Ei~3 zonine are such that to translate the areas to the potential classification would be a physical impossibility because there would be little or no buildable property remaining in the area being translated to R-3. The Chairman asked for a roll call vote. AYES: Chairman Jarvie, Commissioners Davis, Hardwick, Kistler, Ward NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Grant and Hughes Resolution No. 187 adopted. MR. BONDY stated there were several hardship cases on this thing on Pi0 Pic0 Drive. They cannot come in because their doctors will not let them. Cmnfssioner Hughes srsted thst they Gould not have to appear in person for a reclassification and it was generally decided that the best way for all of them to get relief was to go through the proper channels. 7- Old Business: There was no old business. 8- New Business: There was no new business. 9- Ad j ourtunent : By proper motion the meeting was adjourned at 9 P.M.
