(a) Height limitations on buildings
t !
I
!The Planning Technician presented written reports of a i
!!'.draft It for proposed high rise ordinance to the Commis- :
sion and explained several methods used in other cities. i !He stated that he is trying to encourage the "Dimensional" :
:regulation €or Carlsbad. The reduction from 35' to 28' in I
IR-A I R-1 and R-2 zones is similar to the Los Angelea :
:Ordinance a but he felt that some designs might to ko 35'
jin better homes. He stated there was a question in regard! :to the "M" zone. Some of the industries that are per - I
imitted in the County are prohibited in the City Ordinance. I
1 I i FRANK DeVORE, Governmental Right of Way Agent, San i : Ditgo Gas & Electric Go. , questioned the 75' height I L
!limitation in the "MI' zone. The Encinas power plant is : :approximately 120' high. He asked the Commission to :give this thought as they expect to build in the near future : ;and hoped they would not have to come to the City for a i !Conditional Use Permit as the unit is generally more than t
:asked the City to give them some consideration. 4
!The Secretary pointed out that Article 14 I Section 1300 : :(25): Public Utilities, dealt with land use but not height :limitations, and required Conditional Use Permits for : :generating plants. *
:Some of the Commission, felt a different zone should be 1
:explored for Public Utilities.
!By common consent it was agreed the matter of height i !limitations be continued to the next meeting and Mr 4 I :Melton should bring a map of the areas to the next meeting!
75'. He stated that he is cancerned for his company and

I I :The Planning Techniciau stated that we arc past the wait- iing period for putting things on the priority list for the : :Engineering Cepartment and hopes to bring forth an amend! : Iment to R-T zone. He hopes to bring in property that was : :dedicated for streets for the extension of Jefferson and i connecting Harbor Drive
:The Chairman atated that he felt all of the property along : :the Lagoon should be zoned R -T and the Commission shout4 !initiate action to reclassify all of the land for R-T from :Hoover Street to the east end of the lagoon and they should :have actual figures on the depth of the zoning and should : :also take into consideration the terrain on the northeaster$ i side of the Lagoon. The Chairman asked for a larger map . . :of a blown up section between Adams and the water, as i :they might have a narrow street there, or one way streets:

!The Secretary read a proposed amendment to the R-T son4 :he had prepared as something to start with, which was 8 !modeled after the Newport Beach ordinance for comparabli !zone. He stated the City is not going to get many big hotel)
;or motels unless they can have cocktail lounges.

I 1 I I I I I I f I The Secretary stated that he is working on an ordinance i : which would be an R -1 -4,000 sq, ft. , zone for areas along I the beach;and for marina type development in the lagoon : ;areas. The R-1-4000 sq. ft. , would prevent subdivisions i from having to have deed restrictions. The persons
:placing the deed restrictions sometimes leave and the
{restrictions are difficult to en&rce.
:Commis)ioaer Davis stated that he felt the descriptions i
iof a hotel (having 5 bedrooms} was inadequate.
!ALLEN KELLY, Carisbad, stated he thought the R-T zonei
!was a good one and there is always one residence that is ; :next to a public building. Bars should be required to be
!placed centrally in hotels to abate noiee. Property will ;
!get so high there will not be much residential areas Left. i
!Commissioner Grant stated the ABC law provides that jcocktail lounges be located 200' apart.
:By common consent it was agreed this matter be held over:
:to the next meeting . 1
i (d) Park Drive extension to El Camino Real.
i Mr . Thornton stated the alignment of Furk Drive extended i I easterly from the easterly boundary of Shelter Cove Sub- ' : : division appears to approach the shoreline through Mr. i
Phipps' property. Mr. Phipps' has stated his objections $
!to this projected right of way, and the Engineering Depart? iment is endeavoring to design a curve that will be more : ; desirable for the extension of Park Drive easterly through i
!the Phipps' and Kay Kalicka's and Allen Kelly's properties!
:MR. KELLY stated they have a 25' easement across a i : down grade. Mr. Phipps is getting ready to fight the pro - ; ! jected right of way. If the easement follows Fark Drive, :there is only the Saestion of grading. One easement has ; ;been abandoned. Mr. Kalicka, Mr. Phipps and Mr. KeLly I i set aside this 60' for it road. I
i Mr. Melton stated that El Camino REal will have to be i ;relocated when they extend the airport runway for jets or i ithey will have to tunnel under the runway. The extension : :of Terramar Road is important as it will eventually tie in i i with the new Vista Freeway. I
i FRANK DeVORE pointed out on the map that the Company 3 :has an alignment and easement with Mr. Kelly.
I MR. KELLY stated that he has a floating easement past i i Jay Hoffmanls property and they had each given a 30' ease+ fment where they thought it would be a good road.
