Schlehuber McFadden Hall Harcus Holmes Schramm (j) X X X X X X X MINUTES August 27, 1986 PLA~NING COMMISSION Page 2COMMISSIONERS CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS: {continued ) Commissioner McFadden Inquired where the stream bed ls now and where lt wlll be ln the future given the proposed ~hanges. Mr. Howes stated that right no• the stream bed ls right in the middle of a mass of pampa~ grass. At SOl'lle future date, when the site ls de~eloped, staff will be able to locate exactly where the stream will be located - when there ls a definite development proposal. It ls within the area currently designated open space. At the request of Commissioner Mcfadden, Mr. Howes pointed out on the map the approximate location of the stream bed. Commissioner McFadden continued express ing h~r concerns that if the Commission does not know where the stream bed will be, she could not see how the open space area could be determined. Mr . Howes explained that the area that staff ls recorm1ending be changed from open space to planned industrial slopes uphill. Therefore, it will be very difficult to get the stream up Into that area. It Is covered with coastal sage, chaparral-type vegetat ion. Eve n though the dike brings the stream over to Palomar Airport Road, future development would hrlng It down to the lower part of the valley. Chairman Schlehuber declared the public hearing opened at 6:09 p.m. and issued the invitation to sµeak. There being no one oresent desiring to speak, Chairman Schlehuber declared the public hearing closed at 6:09 p.m. Commissioner Md adden inquired whether this was prellldture since we do not know where the stream bed Is going to oo and the habitat is in fact dependent on the stredlll bed. She felt that Just leaving it the way it Is for now and amending our General Plan to go along with the Local Coastal Plan is fine. When the project or the applicant comes in with specific requests, when they speak to the drainage and the C011111ission knows where the water will be, then move on to staff's recowrnendations. Chairman Schlehuber inquired whether staff's reconRen- dation could be amended in the future. Mr. Howes stated that yes there is still room to vary it. It is just a Gene.ral Plan designation. Basically, the blolog !cal study would allow staff to make a more accurate Identification than what staff had !n the past. C011111issloner McFadden inquired who paid for the biological study, Mr. Howes s ta• .. 1 that the app 1 i cant submitted 1 t . No EI R has been done.

Coff,nlssioner McFadden inqui red when the Q-Overlay on the property along Buena Vista Lagcon would be in. Hr . Howes replied after the six-week review ls completed for the Local Costa[ Plan Amendments. 2) GPA/LU 86-7/ZC-197 -CITY OF CARLSBAD -Amendments to the General Plan ard Zoning Ordinance to create a land use designation and zone for the AT&Sf Railroad Right-Of-Way and the 1-5 Freewa). Chairman Schlehuber reported that a le tter was sent by W.D. Bentley, Manager, Real Estate and Contracts, the Atchison, Topeka and Sant a Fe Railway Company, objecting to the proposed amendments in its present form and suggesting that the transportation corridor zoning only apply to a 55-foot wide strip c<!nterline ad .lacPnt to the existing track. (The Clerk has a cop)' on file.) Mike Howes, Senior Planner, gave the presentation on this item as contained in the staff report. Referring to the letter submitted by AT&SF Railway Company, Hr. Howes stated that staff feels that 55 feet may be a little Inadequate to provide enough space for a future light rail system. In addition, it may oe tough to get a station in t hat n~rrow of an area. Another concern ls the location o~ residential, corm,ercial or other type uses inrnediatel)' adjacent to the railroad track. At the present time, there are approximately 50 to 100 and sometimes 150-font setback from the tracks themselves to the nearby residential uses. Another concern staff has would be the loss of the open space adjacent to the railroad corridor if only a 55-foot wide strip was preserved centered on the railroad tracks. C011111issloner McFadden referred to the Ordinance attached to the staff report; in particular, Section 21.100.030. She requested that the definition of public recreation areas be defined. Mr. Howes informed that there ls no definition in the Parks and Recreatio~ element. He stated that it ls his opinion that public recreation will be recreational facilities owned by the City or a public agency opP.ned to the general public. C011111issioner Harcus inquired whether the tennis courts proposed by Carlsbad Inn would qualify under this Ordinance. Hr. Howes suggested that additional wording be added and classify those as possibly a semi-public facility. A facility that ls privately owned, but opened to the general public for a fee. Charles Gri11111, Assistant Planning Director, stated that another possible wording could be, "recreational uses for the publlc". Following further discusslon, it was agreed that the wording: "recreat lonal uses opened to the publ le" would be inserted under t hat section in place of "public recreation areas." Chairman Schlehuber declarrd the public hear ing opened at 6120 p.m. and issued the invitation to speak. Ml~~UTES August 27, 1986 PLANNING COMMISSION CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) Archie Hi cks, 1831 Valencia Avenue, Co-Chairman of the Carlsbad Village Merchants Association , addressed the Commission on behalf of the Association In support of the proposed amendments. He stated th1t the village merchants are very anxious that the Commission approve the amendment s. Bob Neilson, 525 Elm ,venue, addressed the Commission and spoke in support of the proposed amendments. He stated tt,at this is the next step in brinainq the downtown into a nicer situation. There being no other person in the audience desiring to address the Commission on this matter, Chairman Schlehuber declared the public hearing closed at 6:22 p.m. Commissioner McFadden referred to Section 21. 100.20 of the ordinance and suggested that "public streets" be added to the list. As the Ordinance present!} reads, nowhere in there does it say that if this Cit) should need to utilize any of that space to complete streets, such as Washington, that they would then have a right to qo ahead and do so. It was agreed that staff would add "No. 7 -Publ le Streets" to the ordinance. Commissioner Schramm inquired whether I\T&Sf received notice of the public hearing. Mr. Howes stated that they did receive notice for the previous Pla,ning Commission meet ing. Stdff does have a telegram back from them acknowledging that they did receive notic~ from the previous meeting. If they had come to that, there was a proper continuance made at that meeting.
