COMMISSIONER LEEDS 2. CT 80-41/CP-135, Ward, A request for a 14 unit tentative map and condominium permit on the south side of Navarra Drive in the RD-M zone. An introductory report was presented by Michael Holzmiller explaining the nature of the matter and setting forth the planning issues identified by staff. - The staff report was continued by Bill Hofman who, with the aid of wall map exhibits depicting the location and design of the project, explained the design criteria and density, traffic circulation pattern and access, location of recreational amenities in relation to the units and the extent and quality of same. He indicated that access to the parking garage, which would be located underneath the condominiums, would be via an electronically operated security gate with a security phone system to the units. Mr. Hofman concluded that the project meets or exceeds all basic development standards and design criteria of the Condominium Ordinance and approval of the project was recommended. Commissioner Jose inquired for clarification of a numerical error on Exhibit "C" to be changed to reflect the correct number of visitor parking spaces provided. Bill Hofman indicated that staff would make the necessary change for clarification. Commissioner Jose inquired as to whether the phone system would have to be used to provide access for the Fire Department to the underground garage area. Michael Holzmiller stated that the Fire Department has a master key that would be used for this type of security system for entering the gate. PAGE (2) PUBLIC TESTIMONY The Commission recognized Roy Ward, 1207 Elm Avenue, Carlsbad, California, owner/applicant of this project. For the record Roy Ward expressed his opinion that a very good unit of this type could be constructed under the PUD and Condominium Ordinance, but it would make the unit very expensive. He then indicated that this project was not a "low cost income housing unit". Mr. Ward expressed some concern to Condition No. 16 of Resolution No. 1726, indicating he did not believe an automatic fire sprinkler system was necessary, but that they would get in contact with the Fire Department about it, and if they thought it was necessary, they would go ahead with it, but if not, they would do without one. Commissioner Rombotis inquired as to whether Mr. Ward had any objection in meeting the Uniform Building Code and the requirements of the Fire Code. Mr. Ward indicated that this would not be a problem. Dan Hentschke, for clarification to the applicant, indicated that the City of Carlsbad had adopted those codes and had made certain modifications. He indicated that he did not know if modifications made by the Carlsbad Code affected automatic sprinklers, but if they did, they would have to be followed by our code. There being no further desire to address the Commission, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing. Based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, with the modification to Condition No. 16, the Commission adopted the following resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 1726, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A 14 UNIT CONDOMINIUM PERMIT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NAVARRA DRIVE, WEST OF VIEJO CASTILLO IN THE RD-M ZONE. MOTION: COMMISSIONER JOSE SECOND: COMMISSIONER FRIESTEDT AYES: CHAIRMAN MARCUS, COMMISSIONERS LARSON, JOSE, FRIESTEDT, AND ROMBOTIS. NOES: NONE.

SDP 80-lo/CUP-180, Silvers, A request for approval of a site development plan and conditional use permit to develop a commercial office building and drive-thru bank on property generally.located on the southeast corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue in the C-l-Q zone. Michael Holzmiller presented a statement of the matter and out- lined the major planning issues involved. The staff report was continued by Bill Hofman who, with the aid of wall map exhibits, depicted the location and design of the project and detailed the contents of the November 26, 1980 staff report. Mr. Hofman explained that the ground floor of the office building was going to be a drive-thru Security Pacific Bank and the second level would be leasable office space. He indicated that access to the office building would be from La Costa Avenue by means of a driveway shared with the previously approved Burnett Plaza de La Costa Real project. Mr. Hofman explained the relationship of the proposed project to existing streets and development, including a completed project previously constructed by Burnett. In conclusion he indicated to the Commission that staff was adding some minor conditions: 1) Signing be placed in and around the exit to the drive-thru lane to prohibit or minimize wrong turns into the one-way isle; and 2) to delete two compact car spaces which were poorly designed, and 3) the applicant provide a bus bench location on La Costa Avenue and El Camino Real. He indicated that staff feels that all of the findings for a conditional use permit and a site development plan could be made with this project and therefore recommended approval of,this project. Commissioner L'Heureux expressed some concern as to how people would get from bus stop points to the site. Bill Hofman indicated that people would have to walk to the entry driveway on La Costa Avenue. He indicated that provisions could be made for. a stairway that would lead from the bank to the bus stop, however, staff felt it was not necessary. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Friestedt, Bill Hofman indicated that a traffic study was completed as part of the environmental review for the Burnett Development Center. A condition of approval of the Burnett Center was only one access driveway off La Costa away from the inter- section. It was felt by the study that La Costa Avenue and El Camino Real could handle the traffic that would be generated by the entire development of the Burnett center including this parcel, and that access would be the one driveway. PAGE (4) - Commissioner L'Heureux inquired as to whether or not staff had any graphics for this particular project showing how the project interrelated with the Burnett Center as far as ingress and egress was concerned. Michael Holzmiller made available to the Commission an exhibit of the previously approved Burnett Center. PUBLIC TESTIMONY The Commission recognized Ralph Sias, Project Architect, 1875 Third Avenue, San Diego, CA. Mr. Ralph Sias addressed the bus stop situation. He indicated that they had been in contact with the North County Transit District, and that at this time there was service along El Camino Real with a bus stop on the northeast corner. He indicated that there was no service on La Costa Avenue at this time and was anticipated until the next few years, at which time if they did put bus service in, all that would be required from them would be a sidewalk. He indicated that they had no idea where it would be located, but that there would be something along La Costa Avenue. f-- Commissioner L'Heureux stated that he was troubled by the fact that there were six parking spaces that were immediately open onto the main access driveway. Michael Holzmiller indicated that they had spoke to the Traffic Engineer regarding this and that his first thought was to delete them, however, when he looked at the number of vehicles that would be served by this one site, which that driveway is providing access to, he did not feel it was that critical. Commissioner Rombotis inquired of Ralph Sias if he had reviewed the architecture of the elevations of the adjacent development as were approved by the Planning Commission and asked if he felt this project was compatible with that development. Ralph Sias responded that he felt they did the best to make it compatible with the surrounding development. Commissioner Rombotis expressed his opinion, based upon his considerable background as a Planning Commissioner, that the project was not architecturally compatible with the surrounding development. Commissioner L'Heureux inquired as to how many signs would be located on this development. PAGE (5) - Bill Hofman indicated that as part of the approval of the project the Commission would not be approving the signs shown on the exhibits. Due to the many concerns the Commission had regarding the architecture and parking of this project, Bill Hofman made available to the Commission an elevation of the Burnett Center to help them in making their judgement. Dan Hentschke then expressed the process under the Carlsbad Municipal Code for architectural review of Site Development Plans which states that the Commission should not review architecture. Commissioner Friestedt expressed the opinion regarding the architecture and parking of the project. He indicated that the parking could be acceptable with the architecture as well, if the six parking spaces were designated for employee parking. He stated that the Commission would feel comfortable in light of what the Traffic Engineer analysis said. With regard to the architectural compatibility between the existing Burnett Center, he indicated that the Commission would like to see something more in line of the true Spanish motif rather than a modern type building with a tile roof. Michael Holzmiller indicated to the Commission that if they wanted staff to start reviewing the architecture of projects that something should be put in the ordinance that would require such review. Commissioner Rombotis inquired as to whether staff was concerned that there wasn't any pedestrian egress between this site and La Costa Avenue. Michael Holzmiller answered that if you provide convenient access at an intersection, you are encouraging some vehicular parking along the street near the intersection, and on a plan like this staff tries not to have convenient access from the facility to a corner. If it's too convenient, people want to park there instead of going into the parking lot and getting off the street. In some occasions, staff has recommended that the access be deleted because it is too convenient to the street. Rebuttal by the Applicant The Commission again recognized.Ralph Sias. Mr. Sias acknowledged the project to be of Spanish motif. With the aid of wall map exhibits he then clarified some of the issues that were being raised by the Commission. PAGE (6) - Commissioner Larson acknowledged Commissioner Friestedt's comments stemming from similar concerns recognizing that the 6 spaces would not be a serious problem, if designated for employee parking. He indicated that the stacking was adequate, but that as far as any architectural standards, it was not necessarily compatible with the Burnett project on an architectural scheme. Commissioner Friestedt added that even though the ordinance does not provide the Commission the ability to analyze the architectural structure and style, but in this particular case the project is not compatible with the Burnett Center. You have a very old-fashioned style, Mexican heritage type of development, and then from the eye in the corner of the development, which is really a target area you see a two story modern Spanish style and they are not compatible. There should be some provision or guidance for the applicant in the future. We should take a closer look at architectural design and give some guidance to staff. There being no further desire to address the Commission, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing. A motion was made to adopt Resolution Nos: 1727 and 1728 approving SDP 80-lo/CUP-180, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein with the addition of a condition to "designate the 6 parking spaces which back into the entry driveway to the bank as employee parking" MOTION: COMMISSIONER ROMBOTIS SECOND: COMMISSIONER.LARSON AYES: COMMISSIONERS MARCUS, LARSON, AND ROMBOTIS NOES: COMMISSIONERS L'HEUREUX AND JOSE ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONER.FRIESTEDT ABSENT: COMMISSIONER LEEDS The motion did not carry.

NOES:. COMMISSIONER L'HEUREUX ABSTAIN: NONE. ABSENT: COMMISSIONER LEEDS PAGE (7) 4. ZCA-130, City of Carlsbad, An amendment to the zoning ordinance to amend the Planning Moratorium to allow the processing of applications for projects located within an area to be served by a satellite sewage treatment facility. The staff report of November 26, 1980, was presented by Michael Holzmiller who advised that this item was being considered at the direction of the City Council in order to amend the Planning Moratorium and allow the processing of applications for projects located in an area to be served by a satellite sewage treatment plant. Commissioner Rombotis inquired as to what was the final approval: the final tract map, tentative map, or site plan? Michael Holzmiller stated that it would depend upon the item that was being considered. He indicated that there are some that automatically go to City Council and some where the final approval is at the Commission level. Dan Hentschke indicated for clarification to Commissioner Rombotis that you could submit all applications to be processed, but applications could not be approved, which means they cannot be approved either by the Council or Commission at any stage until the Council finds that the facility is approved and that it is reasonable to expect that sewer capacity will be available. Once the Council makes those determinations and the permits have been issued, the approval will be conditioned upon the actual finding of sewer capacity. What it allows - it will lift the moratorium for processing, and start the processing, but the approval won't come until the plant gets underway and the state issues the permits. There is still a lag time between the time you get the permits and make the finding that sewer capacity is reasonably available, then the actual issuance of sewer permits. The discretionary action is the action on the tentative map. You cannot have that approval because everthing after that is administerial. Jerry Rombotis asked if the Planning Department concurred with Dan Hentschke's explanation. Michael Holzmiller responded that there was some wording in the way the ordinance was written that led staff to believe that they were talking about the final approval not be given, until those findings were made by the Council. PUBLIC TESTIMONY The Commission recognized Bob Ladwig, 3088 Pio Pica Drive, Carlsbad, California, Rick Engineering. Mr. Bob Ladwig expressed opinion that this issue was very confusing the way it was being presented. He indicated PAGE (8) -- that they had understood that the Council's direction to the Commission was to lift the moratorium and allow the processing of tentative maps. He suggested that this be sent back to the Council for clarification and urged the Commission to approve either staffs' recommendation with either some modification that the Commission could approve tentative maps and zone changes conditioned upon sewer being available within a given period of time because otherwise you would be paying your fee and going through staff but never going to public hearing or get Planning Commission or Council input on your project. Commissioner Jose inquired as to whether or not the City Manager could enlighten the Commission on this issue. The Commission recognized Frank Aleshire, City Manager. Mr. Aleshire indicated that the Council does intend and has acted to create an improvement assessment district to build the Palomar Treatment Plant and this could not become a reality until 10 months or perhaps 1 year because of the need to go through petition, warning the district, engineering plans, and actually approving the project and confirming that it would be built. He indicated that the developers asked the city if they would be permitted to process their plans, such as tentative tract maps because their concern is they need to know what they have before they commit to a treatment plant, grading requirements etc., which are to be determined at the time the tentative tract map is approved; the same applies to rezoning. He stated that it was his thinking that there should be a way to allow the developers within that area to get all their plans approved up to the final map being recorded. Mr. Aleshire felt there should be a way where we can approve the tentative map and even process a final map but withhold final approval if the sewer plant is not at that time complete or confirmed by the council. In effect he indicated that the planning process should not issue any building permits until the sewer plant is a reality. He concurred with the City Attorney's comments that once you approve the tentative map, then in effect you cannot deny a final. He indicated that there should be a way to do that, even though it is ordinarily an administerial act and there is no discretion. He added that if the developer meets all of the conditions of the tentative, under these circumstances where we do not in fact have sewer capacity available we should be able to deny or withhold approval of the final map. In conclusion, Mr. Aleshire added that if that is not the way the.ordinance is written, it should go back to the Council so that they could determine their intention and then bring back to the Commission an ordinance that does what the Council wants it to do. PAGE (9) - The Commission recognized Roy Ward, 1207 Elm Avenue, Carlsbad, California. Calavera Hills. Mr. Ward indicated that he believed this issue on this matter went a bit farther than just the business to do with Palomar Airport District, which he supported. He stated that the crucial matter was that if this body went forward with the positive recommendation on this present document it would literally eliminate the possibility of coming to the hitting point with the critical issue point in discretionary action process, because you would never get there, you would just get alot of staff work with no decisions, to take forward or react to. He stated that one of the key issues in this city as long as he had been here was the matter of public facilities, how you plan for them, what the real need is - he could not understand how we could continue to block planning of this matter and how we were expected to do decent planning if we didn't know what the developers and land owners had in mind out in front. He felt we didn't need a moratorium and never really have. The Commission again recognized Frank Aleshire, City Manager. Mr. Aleshire felt that it would be useful for the Planning Commission to request that staff present to the Commission the same material that was presented to the City Council relative to sewer capacity and the overall planning program regarding sewer. He indicated it might be useful in trying to make a decision on this moratorium issue. Basically he stated that we do have adequate sewer capacity without building a satellite treatment plant and that it was very possible that we could consider lifting all of the moratoriums throughout the city very shortly. He felt the main hang up at the moment was that this satellite sewer reclamation plant was more than just a sewer plant, its going to produce reclaimed water that will be needed in this city in the future. The Council is very committed to a reclaimed water program. If it is possible for us to get a commitment from the people that will pay for the building of the reclaimed water plant in some manner such as a petition, agreement or some other method, it would be engineeringly feasible to go ahead and allow developments to occur even to issue building permits before the plant is built. The problem the City Attorney has, and it is a real problem, is once the moratorium is lifted and something happens to the reclaimed water plant we might be in trouble of trying to recover from that, but he felt it is possible to handle this problem so that the moratorium can be lifted. He stated that perhaps it would be a good idea for the Commission to have the complete report on the sewer capacity before a decision was made and maybe at that time the Commission would be interested in making recommendation to lift the moratorium completely. PAGE (10) Mr. Frank Aleshire recommended that this item be continued to the next Planning Commission meeting of December 10, 1980 at which time the sewer issue would be discussed as an information item and perhaps in the meantime get another draft of the amendment that would accomplish the lifting of the moratorium. The Commission recognized Dan Hentschke, Assistant City Attorney. Mr. Hentschke added that if the city, based on sufficient evidence, makes a determination that sufficient sewer is available, the moratorium should be lifted. From a legal standpoint, he indicated that the reason you impose a moratorium is because there isn't enough of something. He indicated that the reason the ordinance was worded as it was, was because the General Plan requires that in order to approve a project you have to make a finding that public facilities are going to be available concurrent with need. Mr. Hentschke at this point clarified line 15 on Exhibit "A" for the Commission. There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing. The Commission directed this matter be continued to December 10, 1980, to allow staff the opportunity to review the information that was presented to the Council.

ZCA-127, City of Carlsbad - An amendment to the zoning code to require financial relocation assistance to tenants when a condominium conversion is approved and to recommend lifting of the moratorium on the processing of condominium conversion projects. The staff report of November 26, 1980, was presented by Michael Holzmiller who advised that this item was considered and approved at the last meeting of the Planning Commission held on November 12, 1980. Due to an error in legal noticing, the item had to be rescheduled for another public hearing and therefore was being returned to the Planning Commission at this time. Although the Planning Commission approved the ,- PAGE (11) - the Zone Code Amendment as previously recommended by staff on November 12, 1980, the Commission expressed four concerns regarding the wording of the amendment. These concerns were as follows: 1) Whether the requirement for relocation assistance just applied to residential projects. 2) When the relocation assistance was to be paid. 3) Whether assistance would just be required for tenants in good standing. 4) Whether assistance should be in the form of a cash payment or a credit toward rent due. Mr. Holzmiller added that the new wording took care of the first two concerns expressed by the Commission. As to the last two concerns, staff believed these items should be left up to the subdivider and the tenant and that the city should not get involved. Mr. Holzmiller also indicated that staff had revised the resolutions presented at the Planning Commission meeting of November 12, 1980, to reflect the recommendations made in the memorandum from the City Attorney's Office dated November 14, 1980. Commissioner Larson inquired as to whether or not there was another concern relating to "relocation assistance would be in the amount of one month's rent". He then added that actually there would be five concerns rather than four. PUBLIC TESTIMONY The Commission recognized Joe Bastone, 7275 San Lucas, Carlsbad, CA. Mr. Bastone indicated thatto give anything less than one month's rent would be an injustice to people that are hard pressed as it is. The Commission then recognized Terry Sheldon, San Diego, CA. Mr. Sheldon expressed his opinion that the payment should be made when the subdivider gives the first writter refusal to the tenant to either buy or vacate rather than leaving it up to the tenant. There being no further desire to address the Commission, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing. PAGE (12) Based on the findings contained therein, and with a change to Exhibit "A", line 22 (to Resolution No. 1724) to read as follows: "The subdivider shall provide relocation assistance equal to one month's rent to . .." adopted the following Resolutions: RESOLUTION NO. 1724, APPROVING A ZONE CODE AMENDMENT, AMENDING TITLE 21, CHAPTER 21.47, OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE (CONDOMINIUMS AND CONDOMINIUM CONVERSIONS) BY MODIFYING SECTION 21.47.160(2) TO EXTEND THE TIME PERIOD FOR TENANTS IN A PROPOSED CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION PROJECT TO HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO PURCHASE AND BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 21.47.170 TO REQUIRE FINANCIAL RELOCATION ASSISTANCE FOR DISPLACED TENANTS.

He indicated to the Commission that on June 5, 1978, the San Diego LAFCO had adopted a resolution establishing Carlsbad's sphere of influence which included the entire Batiquitos Lagoon and the unincorporated territory northerly of the lagoon and southerly of the current city limits. He indicated that LAFCO had considered some critical issues in establishing Carlsbad's sphere relative to Batiquitos Lagoon and explained them briefly. Mr.. Wayne added that there was another issue that was not addressed by LAFCO, but that it was a very important planning issue relative to La Costa Avenue. He indicated that La Costa Avenue is designated as a major arterial in the city's Circulation Element and that the road serves as the major access link between La Costa and I-5. Mr. Wayne then explained to the Commission that the city had several options available relative to LAFCO'S forthcoming review of the city's sphere and LAFCO'S boundary decision for San Diequito. Mr. Wayne then discussed each of the options available along with the effects, benefits and disadvantages that would take place as outlined in the Staff Report of November 26, 1980. Mr. Wayne concluded his presentation stating to the Commission that staff was recommending the adoption of Option No. 4, which would leave Carlsbad's sphere relative to the Batiquitos Lagoon area unaltered and he further recommended that Carlsbad postpone annexation of the unincorporated area south of the city limits in the lagoon area until the feasibility of said annexation could be completely studied. PUBLIC TESTIMONY The Commission recognized Anne Olmsted, President of the Leucadia Town Council. Ms. Olmsted addressed some of the points that Mr. Wayne explained in the viewpoint of the hopeful proposed City of San Diequito. She then explained the the 4 options and addressed the disadvantages. She stated that Option No. 1 was her most favorable option because it would split jurisdiction over the lagoon between Carlsbad and proposed San Diequito. With the aid of wall map exhibits she dipicted some of the portions that she was explaining. Ms. Olmsted indicated to the Commission that Option No. 4 had several problems that had not been addressed by staff (e.g., that the county will not recommend boundaries for San Diequito, leaving that matter to LAFCO and that much of the lagoon is owned by public agencies). Commissioner Rombotis responded to Ms. Olmsted explaining some of the problems Carlsbad has had in the management of Buena Vista Lagoon because of a shared jurisdiction. There being no further questions, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing. A motion was made to adopt a Resolution of Intention to support Option No. 4 to retain present sphere of influence.

R-W Parking Requirements Michael Holzmiller pointed out to the Commission that the City Council made a request to ask the Commission to make a recommendation on increasing the parking requirements in the R-W zone as soon as possible. He suggested that staff contact some of the people that spoke at the public hearing and ask them to select a group of people that staff could meet with and perhaps have a member from the Planning Commission to chair the meetings. A motion was made that the committee as recommended by the Planning Commission discuss parking requirements in the R-W zone be formed to include a member of the Planning Commission to chair the committee and report back to the Commission on January 28, 1980. The Commission then elected Commissioner Rombotis to chair this committee.
