GARLAND requested recommendations from the Planning Commission on the proposed Kader Lot Split. He stated that he is handling the purchasing of this property. As it is quite an emergency matter, he s-tated- that it entails a simple lot split. The proposed lot split is located at the Southwesterly corner of Elm Avenue and Highland Drive. The property has five trust deeds and six liens against the property which bad to be removed and also a portion of the property had 'to be -cut off. The reason for the emergency is that they are transferring two of the trust deeds to the remainder of the property and unless the lot split can be granted without delay, he was afraid this property wou;lid be for sale again. He pointed out that this property has been filed as a request for a lot split. " b.WL3-.aYT-w-* Present .Absent Motion Ayes ,- CITY of CAWSBAD -2- The City Attorney stated that normally a lot split is approved by the Engineering Department. Mr. Lill stated that this lot split will have to be approved by the City Council because they do not intend to install improvements o,n Highland Drive at this time and this would have to be waived by the City Council and a future street improvement agree- ment would be entered into. He pointed out that : the main reason is that this lot split will create a new lot fronting .on Elm Avenue and he felt that the Planning Commission could express their opinions on this. and to send their recommendations to the City Cou.nci 1. It was agreed that this proposed lot split be con- sidered and to send recommendations to the City Counci 1. Mr. Lill presented t.he proposed lbt split map and indicated the zoning in the area and the pr.oposed lot split location. He stated that Elm Avenue is improved and improvements .are needed on Highland Drive but it is not practical to construct’ the improvements at this time. He then read and explained the condi- tions recommended by the Engineering Department. Commissioner Gullett arrived’ at 7:U8 P. M. After further consideration, Chairman Little directed a letter to the City Council stating that the Plan- ning Commission unani-mously agreed that the proposed Kader Lot Sp-lit, as presented, would be a good use of the land and agreed to forward the proposed lot split to the City Council for their consideration with the recommendation that if the lot split is approved it. shall be s,ubject to the conditions listed in the City Engineer’s Report, dated June 11, 1968.

CITY OF CARLSBAD -3- .. -".-"" Letter dated June 8, 1968, from Mr. and Mrs. G.eorge Brownly, objecting to the expansion of Palomar Airpor was read. Letter dated June 7, 1968, from Robert C. Cozens, .. ' addr'essed to .the Board of Supervisors, in regards to Pal omar Ai rport Expansion, wa's read. When questioned. if ther-e were any additional reports from the Planning Department, N.r. Johnston state,d that the p.rezoning'should be deferred until the tentative map is condidered because it hay. change ' the potential area of the proposed C-M zone. Chairman Little announced the Commission wouTd now hear from the applicant or his repres.entative. ' GRAHAM 'KELLY, representing the previ,ous own'ers of the property, stated that he did get the new tax valua- tions from the assessor's'office. The principal tax parcel at 327- acres has a tax valuation' of.approxi- mately $250,000, which makes it very important for some development to utilize the 1a.nd promptly. Assum- ing.that the County does expand the.airport, he stated that very Ti'ttle of'the proposed C-M zone will be involved. The -proposed C-M would provide the present buyers with an area in which fhey can begin to develop and expand. He requested that the pre- zoning and the tentative'map be considered separately BURTON SHAMSKY, attorney representing Kasm.ir Oil, stated that when Camino Real Industries submitted the tentative map they outlined a scale schedule which they hoped to comply. The schedule was based on the income they could generate from other sources which would base upon the expenses. Though they are interested in .the development. of the major airport in Carlsba-d, he state'd that they face a very serious problem. They are paying $17,.000 a month for interes alone and they feel that by the time action is taken on this matter they may not be in the position to join in this development. He respectfully requested that this &ehtatiVe-map .be approved. If the Planning Commission decides not to approve the tentative map he requested that a continuanae be made where they could come back with a revised tentative map. He presented an alternative map which wouPd divide the area into two zones, zone 1 and zone 2. The Southerly section, being zone 2 would be left unde- veloped for possible airport expansion and the Northerly section, being-zone 1, would then allow * Camino Real to sell and lease portions of the land in which they could raise capital. He felt that anything that occurs in -zone 1 will not have any effect on the future expansion of the County Airport. He stated tha-€ 'if there was a way for the Commission to grant this revised map they would accept the restriction for the expansion of the airport. He felt that the County would have no objections. \ \ " . ., " -? -4- 5"" CY WEILER, San Diego County Director of Public.Works, stated that the study authorized by the County Board of Supervisors will take place in three stages. The first step will be to determi.ne the need to develop additional general aviation facilities to serve the North County,,which the staff can determine within a matter of weeks. The second step is to determine that immediate steps sh.ould be undertaken to meet this need. The. third step is-to determ-ine the specific land requirements for.. expansion of Palomar Airport for general aviation purpo'ses; devel-op of workable proposal, includi.ng cost and financing for. expansion of'Palomar and explope and report on the feasibility of determining the potentials of Palomar Airport for commercial aviation. . He also stated that he knew of no other-site between San Diego and' Los Angeles that could be dew&loped in full c'ommercial level of activity at Palomar facilities within the next three years for general aviation purposes in the North County. He pointed out that a general airport would bring feeder and trunk aiilines into'the North County. 'status. The County has forecast that the current When questioned, Mr. Weller stated 'that development. of Palomar into a 'general airport-wou4.d take at least an additional thousand feet to the North to develop a second major runway. He also stated that if this revis.ed tentative map was adopted, one of the runways would have to be fully equiped for instrument 1 andi ngs. When questioned if the Commission did dontinue the tentative map for 30 days, how many buyers would be effected, Mr. Shamsky stated that he has negotiated with one group at the present time, and remarked that they only need one sale to meet their obliga- tions. Commissioner. Palmateer stated. that the future of Palomar Airport is of importance ,to the City of Carlsbad, and felt that this should be the first considerrtion. Mr. Kelly strted that the rppllcrtion for the proposed zone change was submitted at this time for the reason that i,t would take a much longer process. Before the zoning becomes effective and before they are .allowed to develop in this area, they would have to go through an annexation. The tentative map may be approved and wi tti the, continued delay they would not be able to develop this land until all-annexa- tion is completed. He respectfully arged the Com- mission that the proposed zone change be granted so that they would know they have the necessary zoning. Chairman Little stated that he agreed with Mr. Kelly but was not sure that all the C-M zoning was includec in the tentative map. " # .. r .. h h CITY OF CARLSBAD -5- - "*"A"*~ Mr. Shamsky stated that he will appear be'fore .the County Board of Supervisors to request thi,er approval of the revised tentative map. He felt that the County would have no objections. He also stated thal a two week continuance would be sufficient. After further discussion, the Chairman, with the approval of'the Commission, asked that.the prezoning and tentative map be continued to the next regular meeting, June 25, ,1968, to permit Mr. S'hamsky to resubmit a revised tentative map. 0C.D BUSINESS': (a) Planned Industrial Zone.
