Johnson inquired about the egress and ingress and the
height of the proposed buildings. Staff answered the
buildi ngs would be approximately 28 ft. high.
Chairman Schlehlber answered the question regarding
ingress and egress by stating the circulation problem
will be diecussed and that is the reason the City
Engineer wanted to be present for the diecussion on this
item.
Mr. George W. Genevro, 3821 El Camino Real, addressed the
Commission, asking about the ownership of the property
which serves es sn access driveway in front of his,
stating that ownership would affect the traffic flow in
that area. Also, he inquired about the maintenance and
improvement of that property. Bill Hofman stated that
the Engineering Department believes that the City owns
that property. If that is the case, that property ,.,)t.ld
be maintained by the City and the private drivf ay on the
applicant's property would be maintained by the
applicant. There is a condition that if the property was
not City-owned, the applicant ~uuiu ~~ve to get the
property owners' epprov~i record an acc~ss easement, and
that could hold up t>,e project. Mr. Hof1nan f1:rther
stated that within a week it was hoped staff would
determine the exact ownership of that property,
The Commission recognized Mr. Larry Byers, 3851 El
Camino Real, who spoke on the same question of the
ownership of tho property to the south.
Since no one else wished to speak on this matter, the
plblic testimony was closed et 7:20 p.m.

PLANNING CCJolMISSION September 14, 1983 Page J
In answer to s question from the Commission ss to how
staff fourd this arcade compatible with t~e adjacent
uses, staff stated they felt the mall was the most
appropriate spot for this uee. Also, when the Planning
COllll\ission considered an arcade in the downtown area,
the proposal was denied end st that time the Planning
Conwniasion indicated to staff that the mall would be the
most appropriate location for a video arcade,
Mr. Fisher, in answer to s question from the Commission,
stated there ere no machines there st the present time.
They did have twelve m.ichines there for sppro,lmstely
two years, but eix months ago they were taken out. He
stated there were no problems with the police in the
time the fflllChines Wl'!re there.
Mr. Fisher stated if a security guard would be deemed
necessary, then he would probably not have another adult
there to be in charge of the arcade. The Commission
Members felt there should be both--s security guard and
en adult to supervise. The Commission also indicated
the adult should be et least 21 years of age. Mr.
Fisher agreed to both of these conditions.
The Planning Commission approved the Negative
Dec leretion issued by the Lend Use P lenning Manager and
adopted the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 2176, APPROVING A-CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO ALLOW A CONVERSION OF AN EXISTING C~•ETERIA INTO A
VIDEO ARCADE ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE LOWER
LEVEL OF PLAZA CAMINO REAL AND ,:\DDRESSED AS 2525 EL
CAMINO REAL.
ADDED CONDITIONS Of A SECURITY GUARD IF DEEMED NECESSARY
BY THE CHIEF CJ" POLICE AND THE ADULT IN CHARGE TO BE AT

c01111Ercia1 tentative tract maps to modify street
i111provet11ent conditions located ~n the northwest and
southwest corners of Poinsettia Lene and Avenide
Encinas.
Bill Hof'lllan gave the presentation on this item es
contained in the staff report, using e transparency to
show sl.bject properties. He explained the COllllllission
had reduced these conditions originally end now the
request was to reaove them entirely.
It wee noted by the COfflllliesion t hat paragraph JJ was

Mr. Don Agatep, 2956 Roosevelt Road, representing the
applicant, addreBBcd the CDalllieeion, etating the
applicant wanted the participation in the aseeeement
diatrict for the southwest parcel deleted c011pletely, as
Saith Jewett would receive no benefit from this end it
would be unfair. He listed the itllprovet11enta provided by
the applicant, in-: luding Poinsettia Lane west of the

distric t would benefit the properties to the south, that
were not annexed at the time the master plan was
approved in 1972. He further requested the Commission
approve the Resolutions es presented by deleting No. 33.
In answer to a question from the Commission, Mr. Agstep
stated the applicant felt the assessment district was
not nee esssry •
The Assistant City Engineer stated it was felt a second
access was needed because of the traffic impact on
Poinsettia Lane and the freeway bridge. He stated this
project would benefit from the expansion and the bridge.
The assessment would be made in accordance with the
benefit derived, end the contribution would be assessed
accordingly.
Staff determined the 5,000 ADT was both north and south,
5,000 each way. Mike Holzmiller clarified this, stating
when the traffic to the north to Poinsettia L9ne reached
S,000, a secondary access would be r equired fo r traffic
coming onto Poinsottia. He further stated the City
Engineer had decided that if Avenida Enc i~as gGes to tha
south, and the bridge goes across the tracks and out
Carlsbad Boulevard, this property would benefit. That
additional benefit should oe paid for by contributing to
the assessment district.
Mr. Agetep stated the applirant feels there would be no
benefit tc them and that they have done their share of
improvements.
Commissione. farrow stated he felt it would be unfair to
require thia applicant to participa~e in that future
district, since the original conditions had been
satisfied.
The Executive Vice President of Occidental, Irvine,
addressed the C011111iaaion, stating his approval of Mr.
Agatep'a atateaents.
Mr, Steve Bieri, 5030 de la Sienta, #100, San Diego
92108, representing the Sallis properties south of the
mobileh01111 park, addressed the Commission stating they
agree to the aaseaM1Bnt district. He stated if there
were no need for access, no need to go to the south, then
they could have a private c011111Unity and take care of the
roads thMaelvea. If other people do benefit from the
acceaa, then they should share in the paying for that
benefit.
Mr, Agatep offered a rebuttal to Mr. Bieri's steterrent
regarding "benefit", stating that was not the issue. He
re-atated the applicant felt the improvements already
cmpleted or c«-itted to far exceeded any benefit from
participating in a future aaaeamnent die tr ic t,
Since no one else wiehed to speak on this 111&tter, the
plJ>lic teatillony waa closed at 8103 p.m.
The Aeaiatant City Engineer stated t hat any request for
an aaaee-nt dietrict had to ccae to the City in the
fora or a petition by the adj ent property owners.

The Assistant City Attorney explained an Assessment
E~gineer woul d do a benefit spreed and sn independent
engineering consultant would determine the properties'
benefits and how much that benefit is and how muc h ea::h
would contribute. Although the applicant stated this
was not needed for this project, the road is a general
plan road and is needed.
The issue is whether or not it is necessary to serve
thi s slbdivision and whether or not the property would
benefit from an Assessment district.
Conwnissioner Farrow suggested perhaps the applicant
should be reimbursed for the sewer and extension of
Poinsettia. He felt they had satisfied their project
needs by t he extension of Poinsettia.
The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2179 as
presented and Resolution No. 2180 with #33 deleted:
RESOLUTION NO. 2179, APPROVING AN AM[NCJ4ENT TO A cclUl:Attxt SUBDIVISION KJDIFYING REQUIREMENTS FOR A

Mr. Wyett Anderson, applicant, 1264 Basswood, addressed
the COllllll.ission, using a wall map to show the buil~ing in
question. He stated the building was built on a ~oncrete
slab and the original owner should have been notified it
~Gs not eet beck the required distance habitable
bu i lding. Mr. Anderson continued, stating the building
was obviously meant for something more then a workshop.
He then cited the other examples in the neighborhood
where variances had been granted end where guest houses
exist. He further stated he had two roommates et the
pl asent time and the strt£ture was needed for additional
spaco.
In answer to questions from the Commission as to whether
he was aware this was to bes workshop, Mr. Anderson
stated s workshop would be more objectionable in that
spot then e habitable strt£ture.
A discussion was held among the Commissioners rrgerding
the plumbing contained end roughed-in in this strt£ture,
with reference being made to the letter from Mr. Corso
dated November 22, 1980, regarding this zon lng
violation.
The Assistant City Attorney stated the etrt£ture is not
a legal strt£ture ea a habitable ~uilding.
Charles Grim111 stated a bathroom h0okup is legal in a
wo rkshop. It was stated again that the kitchen plumbing
i s not and would make it a second unit. Mr. Anderson
answered there was no venting, gas or 220 electricity
that would make it a usable kitchen.
Mrs. Joyce Corso, 1300 Basswood Avenue, addressed the
Coanission, reading the letter addressed to the Planning
Ca.lission dated Sept8111ber 14, 1983, signed by herself
and her husband, Joseph. She also reed the letter signed
by her husband and addressed to Mr. Tony Mota, Building
Inspector , dated NoveMber 22, 1980. These letters ere
attached es part of the record. Mrs. Corso referred to a
two-car garage they will be building baaed on a different
variance but it will be a part of their existing house.
Photogr aphs of the Anderson property were distributed to
the COllllission for their perusal and ere made a pert of
the record.
Mr. Peter R. Taylor , 1345 Pine Avenue, was recognized by
the Coaaiasion and spoke in opposition to the granting
of thie variance. He pointed out the rear etr1.Cture had
no acceaa and could never have and no perking was
provided for t hut atrlC ture onsite. The onstreet
parking in that area is very lillited for the existing
houMa. He ■oreed with Mrs . Corso end the stetenienta
ahe •de regarding this proper ty.
Mr. Jaffereon C. Heard, 1306 Baeawood Avenue, addressed
the Coaaiaaion in opposition t o thie variance, stating
thia wa an effort to have a rental unit behind the main
houee.

s toolshed, s he woulJ check into the l ~ to see whether
it was poesible to t urn i t into a livable strteture.
She felt Mr. Anderson should have researched the
property and should not now ask for s variance. She
further asked the Commission to deny the request.
Mr. Richard Green, 1308 Pine Avenue, was recognized by
the Commission and stated he thought a variance should
be requested before a etrteture ~as built end not after.
Steff agreed t his woul d be the normal procedure.
However , t his was cons tru=ted s s s toolshed end now the
applicant wants i t as a habitable stru:ture. Mr. Green
further stated the pat i o cover extends to the fence and
is certainly closer than seven feet . He stated he was
100 percent against the variance.
Hr . Anderson was given time for a rebuttal, but asked
questions regardi ng businesses in the home end made
statements regardi ng some violations of his neighbors.
Chairmen Schlehlber reminded him he was not making a
proper rebuttal.
Since no one else wished to speak on this subject, the

done to apply to LAFCO for annexation to Carlsbad end to
be under one jurisdiction to start to develop the detail9
of the master plan.
Mr. Holzmiller stated first there was the General Plan
A111endme nt. Two of the parcels are outside of the
planning area boundaries as shown on the General Plan.
In order for LAFCO to consider t his, the General Plan
has to be amended to show these two parcels.
The second item is the pre-zoning. A nunber of the
properties are outside of the City boundaries and to
have LAFCO consider them, they must be pre-zoned.
The third item is the EIR. The EIR has attempted to
identify and address issues directly involved with the
applications before the Commission. The EIR also
identi fied potential environmental issues, to be
addressed if annexed and once the master plan is
propoe&d. He stated it was important to take that into
consideration. The direc t impacts can be addressed by
the COffllllisaion, but a nunber of issues brought up in the
EIR can't bP resolved until a master plan is proposed on
the properly. An overhe~d map showed the total property
of nine parc ~la with a total area of 1,875 acres. Eight
parcels are owned by Hunt Properties and one parcel of
135 acres ia owned by the State Department of Fish and
Game. One parcel is in the City boundary and pre-zoning
is needed on all ot her eight parcels. There are three
parcels affected by the General Plan Amendment. One
parcel within the planning boundaries is requested to be
made c0111111ercial. It is presently residential.
Bill Hofman gave the presentation on the EIR, as
presented in the staff report. In answer to a question,
he stat ed the streets imp8Cted are Poinsettia Lane and
SA 680.
C0Mmisaione1· fr ieatedt stated he wanted time horizons on
the impa::t~ and felt the City should be able to aaaeaa
where in the time horizon these imp8Cts would occur. He
stated he wanted that as part of the EIR. Staff stated
that would be coneidered when the master plan was
albaitted, but without the 11aat er plan the EIR was
adequate. Coaaieeioner Frieetedt stated he wanted an
awareneaa of this need, Aleo, with regard to the dates
refererced in the studies, he wanted to know what
periode of tiM were covered by thoae studies and the
date or detea given in the report. One of the
conaultanta anawered COlllllissioner Friestedt with regard
to the biology and traffic illlpacts. COllllll.i&aioner
Frieatedt aaked about the erosion control and floods,
and waa t old the flood infort11ation was not precise i n
the EIR.
Chu-lea Gr.tM gave the presentation on the General Plan
A•ndllent end the Pre-annexational zone change as
c onteined in the staff report, using transparenc iea
showing the applicant's proposed flood plain overlay
area and U. State Fish and Giae lanj,
Coaiasioner farrow asked ►Ir. Gr .ilnm to e)(plain the
reuone atarr Md recoaaended OS instead of PC and Mr.
Gr.tM atated staff indicated OS because it is consistent
with the Gene~al Plan and gives th~ lagoon the greatest
protection. It was detel'llined this would not preclude
the devalopaent of an enhanc8118nt plan for the lagoon.

PLANNING COMMISSION September 14, 1983
The parcel designation of commercial zoning was
diecussed by the Commission, with staff feeling
additional commercial in this ares would be unnecessary.
The Commission discussed the boundaries of the lagoon
and it was detrmined the exact boundaries have not yet
been determined and would not be until the master plan
and a lagoon enhancement plan was albmitted.
Chairman Schlehlber opened the plblic hearing et 9:40
p.m. end issued the invitation to speak.
rhe plblic was reminded by Chairman Schlehl.Ller that
test imony should be confined to l he actual im~acts of
the EIR, the General Plan Amendment proposed and the Pre-
Annexetional zoning.
Mr. Mike Kennedy, 1970 North El C!Kllino Real, HP!
Development Company, Encinitas 92024, eddress~d the
Collllllission. He referred to the graphics showing the
staff-rec0111111Bnded zoning end the applicant-proposed
zoning. The parcel they have designated for commercial
will be a major intersection, and commercial is usually
at a major intersection. He questioned the Rt~t~ent of
staff that there is already slot of convnercial in that
area and they didn't want a strip effect. He stated the
zoning applicant was r~queating was a c ombination
zoning, with a mixed use. This would result in
decreaeed traffic and decreased perking demand.
Mr. Kennedy addressed the proposed designation of OS
(open space) as staff proposed for the lagoon. He
pointAd out the PC zone ea slbmitted by the applicant is
not inconsistent zoning to implement open space land use
designation. ln a PC zone, the major part is to provide
open space. He stated further he preferred a zoning to
allow the applicant to carry out a master plan, end with
the PC zoning, the master plan could definitely
determine the wetlands and upland boundaries of the
lagoon.
Mr . fay Round, 2627 Cezadero Drive, President of
Batiquitoa Lagoon foundation, addressed the COIMlisaion,
referring to a four-page lett er of comments that had
been albaitted to the City. He further stated a
c0111prehenaive grading plan and erosion control should be
included in the Mater plan. Also, the foundation would
like aa 11teh buffer apace as possible around the lagoon.
They are alao con:erned abut the existing flood plain
zoning, and if that were eliminated, there wouldn't be
enough protection for the lagoon. He also spoke about
Batiquitoa Drive and stated he undera~ood the
circulation eleaant ia being re-evaluated and
Batiquitoa Drive ia close to the north shore of the
lagoon. The roundation would aak ae part of the master
plan the need fort.hat road and its alignment be looked
at carefully.
Mr. Round further stated that the increased densities in
relation to the holding zones denaitiee t hat have been
there recently ehould be conaidarad, with the hope that
the final denaitiea would be no higher than those they
era lOOki~ at now. He stated the foundation endorses
the Lagoon Manageaant Plan nd has been working with the

City to define the boundari.ea. The Foundation would want
to look at any filling to be done. Also, there are ways
of keeping water in the lagoon, and the Foundation would
went Hunt Properties end the City to look at how to
maintain the water level. In regard to the area owned by
State Fish and Game ircluded in this application, the
Foundation would ask where does this EIR say that. Mr.
Grimm answered a separate Negative Declaration was issued
for that. Mr. Round asked for the letter from the
Foundation to be ircorporeted into the mitigation.
Commissioner Frieatedt stated the Lagoon Heneof"fflent Plan
should be i ,~orporeted into the master plan s1rce its
p~rpoae is to bring togther ell of the studies and
documentation in the watershed of the lagoon.
Mr. George Bolton, 6519 El Camino Real, addressed t~n
Commission, stating he was a county resident. He lives
in one of the county islands and expressed corcern about
the annexation of this property. He expressed his
desire to become a part of Carlsbad and though it might
be possible to take in his area at the same time the
Hunt annexation is made.
The Commission and staff explained to Mr. Bolton that
the City would welcome annexing the county islands, but
the initial a:tion must come from the residents.
Mr. Guy S. Moore, Jr., 6S03 El Camino Real, addressed
the Commission, stating he was a neighbor of Mr. Bolton,
and expressing the e1111e desire of becoming a part of the
City of Carlsbad.
Mr. Hofman suggested the first step for these citizens
would be an application with the City for a pre-zone
app' ..c ation, and then LAFCO would a:cept an application.
The City staff would be happy to work with the residents
to become annexed to the City.
Me. Anne 0Mated 1 1349 Rainbow Ridge Lane, addressed the
CONlieeion, representing the Le1£adia Town Courcil. She
referred to a letter that had been written responding to
the ElR. She felt the Coastal COllllllission would change
the LCP. Ha. Olllsted stated the Town Courcil would prefer
the open apece zone on the lagoon and would support
staff's rec~ndation.
The C«-ission recognized Mr. Ronald Zawistowski, 1009

Commissioner R0111botis asked for s_aff's view on the PC
zone versus the OS for the lagoon and asked whether the
PC would be as protective as the Open Space. Bill Hofman
~tated that the PC zone would be as sensitive to the
envirorwental impacts as the OS zonq and that from an
enviromental viewpoint, both zones would be equivalent.
The PC zone does require a sl.bmittal of a master ian,
however, with the Lagoon Management Plan under way, Open
Space zoning would not preclude a master plan. He ~dded
that staff took a conservative approa::h from a land use
point of view because the Open Space zoning would be more
restrictive than the PC zone.
Commissioner Rombotis asked Mike Kennedy why Hunt
Properties preferred tha PC 2one, and Mr. Kennedy
answered that, first of all, the PC zone implements the
plan. These are two zones which are both consistent
with open space, PC and OS, and they felt the PC zone
was the better zone to prepare the master plan with, as
it does require a master plan. HP. further stated the OS
(Open Space) zone isn't a zone per se and does not
require a master plan. This would make a "hole" in his
master plan.
Commissioner Farrow inquirad about the lagoon being
designated OS (open space), and whether that would
preclude the PC (Planned Community) using that as part of
open space. Charles Grimm stated several options are
open to the developer. If the lagoon ia zoned "open
space", the developer could still ire lude it in the
master plan. If it were not ircluded in the master plan,
the city could give the applicant some credit for the
lagoon as open space in the master plan.
Commis~ioner Friestedt stated if the lagoon were PC
zone, that would require a master plan and the applicant
would have the opportunity to designate that specific
open space in conjurction with the entire master plan.
If excluded, it would be the City's choice to accept it
as open space or not.
Mike Holzllliller stated there would be similar controls
whether it was PC or OS. If everyone agrees it will be
open apa:e, then it should be zoned that. The other
lagoons are zoned "Open Space". Also, a specific plan is
required sirce the lagoon is in a special treatment area
on the general plan.
Co-tasioner Rmbotia asked whether the parcel could be
zoned OS/PC, and Mike Holzmiller stated that had been
considered. They wanted it to bP. a part of the master
plan, and br •king it a coabination, it would require a
specific plr .. ,.

COMissloner Farra. expressed the belief that it might
