ZCA-122, Water Reclamation, amending Title 21, Chapter 21.36 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code by the amendment of Section 21.36.050 to provide for certain regulations for water reclamation. - 0 -’ Staff report was presented by Bud Plender, who had received a letter stating they were in agreement with the Code amend- ment and recommended approval. This will be part of the conditions of approval which may be imposed on a project in that zone. In the past, the Code has regulated use o f reclaimed water with the approval of the water treatment facility. Staff feels that placing this use in the P-U Zone it will state up front that the City will review and consider water reclamation a part of development plans for sewage treatment plants. Commissioner Rombotis asked where the wastewater reclamation project stops and distribution starts. He asked if we are going to zone the distribution facilities in the F-U Zone. Mr. Plender replied that the P-U Zone will be on the site of the reclamation plant only. Chairman Schick stated that as he reads it, this prevails within the physical boundaries of the plant: when we get to a distribution plan that will be a separate set of rules and regulations. Dan Hentschke, Assistant City Attorney, said there can be regulations on the use which extends outside of the zone. He explained the purpose and effect of this revision and indicated that it is a declarative of existing law. The public hearing closed at 7:20 F.M. Planning Commission Action Motion was made to APPROVE ZCA-122 and ADOPT Resolution 1623, based on the findings and subject to the conditions as stated in the Revised Resolution 1623.

K-209, SMITH, zone change from R-1-15,000 to R-1-7500 on the west side of Sunnyhill Drive, south of Monroe Avenue. Staff Report was presented by Bill Hofman. Staff recom- mends den;* ,,l of this request and approval of an amended request which would move the boundary as shown on Exhibit "A" . Staff also recommends a condition requiring approval of a parcel map prior to zoning becoming effective. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 1621 recommending approval of ZC-209 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. Planning Commission Discussion Commissioner Larson asked if staff looked at the adjoining parcels. Mr. Hofman replied yes and that staff did not think it would be appropriate to rezone any other sites at this time. Commissioner Larson asked if staff had received a response from other property owners. Mr. Hofman replied that Dr. and Mrs. Floyd Packard are opposed to a zone change because they feel it would affect their property and they feel it is spot zoning. Mr. Hofman stated that with the amended plan as proposed by staff, they feel that it would not con- stitute spot zoning. Applicant Presentation Brian Smith, 2656 State St., Carlsbad, as agent for Perkins. Mr. Smith stated that what he intended to do is exactly the way staff has presented it - trying to keep the 15,000 sq.ft. zoning fronting Sunnyhill and 7,500 fronting Alder. This property lends itself to a zoning split perfectly. It has double frontage and meets all zoning requirements. The public hearing closed at 7:35 p.m. Chairman Schick stated he would like to recognize the letter from Dr. & Mrs. Packard and asked if this is a generalized opposition or do they reside in the area. It was replied that they reside in the area and the letter is on business letterhead and does not state particularly how it affects them. Planning Commission Action Motion was made to ADOPT Resolution 1621, approving ZC-209, based on the findings and conditions contained therein. P.C.

CT 80-3/CP-51, FRIES. 14 Unit Condominium Development on Gibraltar Street, La Costa. Staff Report was presented by Bill Hofman. Staff recommends ADOPTION of Resolution 1619, recommending APPROVAL of CT 80-3/CP-51. Planning Commission Discussion Commissioner Rombotis asked if all the parking is on the street. Mr. Hofman said "yes". Commissioner Rombotis asked if it meets all open space and recreation requirements. Mr. Hofman replied, "yes". Chairman Schick asked if there is any proviso that the patio not be covered. Mr. Hofman said a covered patio would have to meet setback requirements. In this case, it could not be covered. Applicant Presentation Harry Fries, 33751 Faseo de Decoro, San Juan Capistrano, stated he read the staff report and concurs. The public hearing closed at 7:45 p.m. Motion was made for APPROVAL of CT 80-3/CP-51, FRIES, with ADOPTION of Resolution 1619. MOTION: Rombotis SECOND: Friestedt AYES: Schick, Rombotis, Leeds, Marcus, Larson, Friestedt, Jose 5. CT 80-4/CP-52, EGINTON. Request for an 8 unit condominium permit and tentative airspace subdivision located on the southwest corner of Alga Road and Santa Isabel Street in La Costa. Staff Report was presented by Bill Hcfman, who stated the main issue is whether the density meets the General Plan requirements and whether there are sufficient amenities. There are enclosed patio areas and large recreational areas. The patios do provide the adequate amount of space and the recreational area is over and above the requirement. ,- P.C. Minutes 4/9/80 Page 4 ,- Staff recommends ADOPTION of Resolution 1620 APPROVING CT 80-4/CP-52, subject to the findings and conditions contained therein. Planning Commission Discussion Commissioner Rombotis asked where are the trash enclosures. Mr. Hofman replied staff has added a condition providing for location of trash enclosures subject to Planning Director approval. Commissioner Rombotis asked where is the storage. Staff replied it is provided in the garage area and also within the units. Commissioner Friestedt asked staff about the block wall to be used. Is block wall with stucco cap in regard to code or just because you propose to use a block wall. Staff replied they would like the wall to match the build0 ings. Staff is not trying to add extra expense and that condition could be amended to allow the applicant to choose the kind of wall he wants. Chairman Schick asked if there was any question about garage doors. Staff replied that applicant indicated he will be including automatic garage door openers. A pplicant Presentation Edward Eginton, 515 South Granados, Solana Beach, stated he is in agreement with staff and has worked with them for several-months. Commissioner Jose asked applicant if he had any personal objection to what staff recommends on the block wall. Applicant replied the structures themselves will be stud with stucco finish and if they can accomplish the same finish with the wall around the pool, they will. The block wall might be difficult to match the texture. The public hearing closed at 8:00 p.m. Motion was made for ADOPTION of Resolution 1020 APPROVING CT 80-4/CP-52, EGINTON, based on the findings and conditions outlined therein, with amendment of condition 9 to eliminate the word "block" on line 2, stating, "a 42 inch" decorative wall, subject to Planning Director's approval. P.C. Minutes 4/9/80 Page 5 MOTION: Jose SECOND: Rombotis AYES: Schick, Rombotis, Leeds, Marcus, Larson, Jose Friestedt NEW BUSINESS ITEMS 6. MS-433, ANTIN, minor subdivision creating two panhandle lots, 3842 Skyline Road. Staff Report was presented by Bud Plender, who stated that one minor problem with this request is that parcel A has a one-car garage and the code requires two on-site parking spaces. Therefore, staff recommends a condition requiring one additional parking space. Staff has reviewed the impact of the parcel split on the neighborhood and feels it meets requirements. This is not a public hearing item. Applicant Presentation Mike Holman, CM Engineering Associates, Vista, representing Mr. Ozerkis. Mr. Holman expressed concern with one condi- tion, condition 5, about widening existing driveway. It was the intent that Parcel A have access rights over the 20' panhandle to utilize the existing 4 parking spaces. Appli- cant does not feel that providing additional paving for the extra parking space would serve the project and he would have to remove landscaping. Also, by having parking to the north, the cars will be further off-site and out of view. Another concern is that a brick lamp post is there contain- ing the sprinkler controls and it would have to be moved. Planning Commission Discussion Commissioner Rombotis asked staff about access. Dan Hentschke, Asst. City Attorney, answered that applicant cannot take access off the panhandle to serve other than the one pan- handle lot. Since two new lots are being created each must have its own legal access. Commissioner Larson asked, to take advantage of those back parking spaces, would staff require a parallel driveway to the north. Mr. Plender said that it would not be acceptable to staff to have three driveways running parallel to each other and taking out mature landscaping. Commissioner Rombotis said that the southerly driveway would only have to be widened to a total of 17 feet. Applicant stated that the sprinkler controls are located in that lamp post, and does not know if this will pose a problem. .- P.C. Minutes 4/9/80 Page 6 Planning Commission Action .- Motion was made for APPROVAL of MS-433, Antin/Ozerkis, with the ADOPTION of Resolution 1622, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, with the added condition regarding public facilities fee, condition 8. MOTION: Jose SECOND: Rombotis AYES: Schick, Rombotis, Leeds, Marcus, Larson, Friestedt, Jose 7. House Move Staff explained that the Planning Commission is required to review and approve house moves. Primarily, the responsibility is to determine if that house fits into the neighborhood. A house of a different era could be inappropriate. If the Com- mission feels if a house could be a problem, they could then ask for a public hearing. The subject houses are model homes that have never been occu- pied. They are on Levante east of El Camino Real. They are quality homes and fit into the La Costa area, where they will be moved. Staff is asking tonight if the Planning Commission would con- sider hearing this request, even though a staff report has not been prepared, based on the fact that these are brand new homes, built in La Costa and moved in La Costa. Staff feels there is no problem. Chairman Schick stated he sees no problem with this. Commis- sioners Rombotis and Jose concur. Commissioner Friestedt asked where the house would be moved to. Mr. Plender showed him the location. Motion was made to approve the House Move. MOTION: Rombotis SECOND: Larson AYES: Schick, Rombotis, Leeds, Marcus, Larson Friestedt, Jose P.C.
