MINUTES June 1, 1988 5 % \ \ Page 2 COMMISSIONERS /o 9 PLANNING COMMISSION Charles Grimm, Assistant Planning Director, reviewed the background of the request and stated that the applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate an 1800 square foot delicatessen at the end of the cul-de-sac in Suite "P" at 2075 Corte de1 Nogal in the Palomar Airport Business Center. The deli would be in addition to an existing catering service already onsite. Approximately 382 feet would be utilized for an eating area within the deli. To ensure harmony with other lessees at this location, staff proposes the following conditions: (1) a maximum seating area of 382 square feet, (2) no onsite cooking except with a microwave, (3) that five parking spaces be identified immediately in front of the deli, and (4) that the hours of operation be limited from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Parking meets the requirements for a deli operation and with the additional conditions, staff feels the findings can be made to recommend approval. Mr. Grimm did note that a non-conforming temporary sign for the deli had been reported at the end of the cul-de-sac. Linda Goldstein, 3275 Avenida Anacapa, Carlsbad, representing the applicant, Julian Aaron, addressed the Commission and stated that she was unaware of the problem with the existing sign. She asked if that sign could be approved and Mr. Grimm replied that a sign for the deli would probably have to be some type of building face sign. Ms. Goldstein informed the Commission that the sign would be removed. Chairman McFadden opened the public hearing and issued the invitation to speak. There being no person desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman McFadden declared the public hearing closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. Commissioner Hall requested a staff clarification of Condition #16 relating to engineering. Clyde Wickham, Associate Civil Engineer, replied that this condition is being added to all projects in the commercial and industrial areas to allow the County of San Diego to follow through on the industrial waste process. It is felt that this project will be exempt but it is necessary for the procedure to be allowed. Commissioner Schlehuber inquired on the procedure. Commissioner Schlehuber felt that the applicant might not understand the process. Mr. Wickham replied that the applicant must apply for a permit with the County. The County will inquire about the type of business to be conducted and will probably issue an exemption. Mr. Wickham explained that the applicant can pick up a standard form at the public counter at 2075 Las Palmas, which needs to be mailed in. For further clarification, Commissioner Schlehuber explained to the applicant that Condition #16 relates to the pre-treatment of the sanitary sewer discharge. Commissioner Hall stated that Proposition 65 and the Right to Know laws require that all businesses have a plan on file P m. MINUTES June 1, 1988 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 3 COMMISSIONERS with the County. Mr. Grimm responded that the County has requested this condition. Commissioner Schramm noted that with only five parking spaces, she would like to see one or two of the parking spaces with a time limit posted--perhaps 15 minutes. Chairman McFadden feels a deli with a seating area is badly needed in the industrial park and can support the request. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to adopt Resolution No. 2740 approving CUP 88-3, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, with the addition of a time limit being posted on two parking spaces. 3) CUP 87-15 CRABS PLUS, INC. - Request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow an aquaculture operation along the southeastern shore of the outer Agua Hedionda Lagoon in the PU, Public Utilities Zone, within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. Chairman McFadden inquired if the applicant was present. David Whitehill, 8950 Villa La Jolla Drive, Suite 1200, La Jolla, President of Crabs Plus (applicant), came forward and was advised by Chairman McFadden that he has the right to request a hearing with a full Commission seated. Mr. Whitehill waived the right and stated that he would accept the decision of a partial Commission. Charles Grimm, Assistant Planning Director, reviewed the background of the requested and stated that the applicant is requesting a permit to conduct an aquaculture operation along the southern shore of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon, adjacent to the SDG&E power plant. The project area is approximately two-thirds of an acre in size. Half of the area will involve bi-valve farming of clams, oysters, and mussels and the other half will be used as a warehouse for crustaceans, i.e. rock crabs, Dungeness crabs, blue crabs, and possibly spiny lobsters. The bi-valve farming area will be completely under water except for two marker buoys. The crustacean warehouse would consist of two small 10' x 10' barges anchored in place and 4-6 marker buoys. The project will utilize some existing SDG&E facilities along the lagoon such as the dock area and the portable restrooms. The project has been conditioned for wholesale marketing only and another condition prohibits signs which are not allowed for a wholesale operation. Staff recommends approval. Commissioner Hall inquired if the applicant is leasing the area from SDG&E and Mr. Grimm replied that they are. Commissioner Hall inquired if Mr. Grimm has seen the lease and he replied that he had not and was unsure if the project planner had reviewed the lease. Chairman McFadden inquired if additional lighting will be required. Mr. Grimm replied that none is indicated on the plan and that this question might be appropriate for the applicant. Chairman McFadden also inquired about the hours of operation. Hall Marcus McFadden Schlehuber Schramm .p\ ,-Y MINUTES June 1, 1988 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 4 COMMISSIONERS David Whitehill, President of Crabs Plus, 8950 Villa La Jolla Drive, Suite 1200, La Jolla, applicant, addressed the Commission and stated that the business will be conducted during the daylight hours. He would like the ability to load a truck at night, if necessary, for delivery to Los Angeles. No additional lighting will be needed and no changes will be made to the area. To begin business it will only be necessary to truck in the live animals and off-load them into cages. As they grow, the animals will be transferred to larger cages. Commissioner Hall inquired about the time length of the lease with SDG&E. Mr. Whitehill replied that the lease is for five years and is renewable; it has not yet been signed but everything appears to be in order. Commissioner Schrarmn inquired what steps are taken for disease control. Mr. Whitehill replied that the waters are health certified and all animals are alive and healthy. Weak animals are discarded. Chairman McFadden requested clarification of seed "spat" referred to in his letter of October 19, 1987. Mr. Whitehill replied that "spat" is the term for seed which is required to grow the organisms. Chairman McFadden inquired if existing trash containers would be used and Mr. Whitehill replied to the affirmative. She then inquired if the product will be cleaned and prepared in any way preparatory for market. Mr. Whitehill replied that the animals are brought in, held until delivery, and reloaded on the truck and sent away live. The cages are merely a resting area for the animals. Chairman McFadden stated that she had been advised by the SDG&E manager that the large barge at the end of the pier would be leaving by the end of the month and wondered if that would have an effect on his operation. Mr. Whitehill replied that the barge is a dredge which keeps the water flowing freely to supply water for the power plant. It is easier on his operation to have the barge gone but it really does not affect it one way or another. Chairman McFadden opened the public hearing and issued the invitation to speak. There being no person desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman McFadden declared the public hearing closed and opened the item for discussed among the Commission members. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to adopt Hall Resolution No. 2736 approving CUP 87-15, based on the Marcus findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, McFadden and adopt Resolution No. 2735 approving the Negative Schlehuber Declaration. Schramm 4) SNC-24 CITY OF CARLSHAD - Request for a street name change from Mision Estancia to Camino De Los Caches. This secondary arterial is located east of Ranch0 Santa Fe Road and south of La Costa Avenue in Local Facilities Management Zone 11. K . . *? MINUTES June 1, 1988 PLANNING COMMISSION Page ’ COMMISSIONERS Charles Grimm, Assistant Planning Director, reviewed the background of the request and stated that this street name change was initiated by staff due to a possible street name conflict which might exist between Estancia Street and Mision Estancia. In December 1986, a proposed street name change to Calle Lomas Verde was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission, however the City Council returned the matter to staff for additional recommendations. No residents are addressed on this road. Mr. Grimm displayed a street sign with the new name and stated that there is a City policy which requires that street names be no longer than 16 characters. The proposed name does not meet the policy requirement, however Camino could be reduced in order to fit the standard sign size. Staff feels that the visual effect is still adequate and recommends approval of the new name. Chairman McFadden inquired if the sign displayed is the normal length for a street sign. Messrs. Grimm and Ball replied that there are several sign sizes and this sign length is within the standard. Chairman McFadden stated that she does not necessarily like the new name either but she will support it. Chairman McFadden opened the public hearing and issued the invitation to speak. There being no person desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman McFadden declared the public hearing closed and opened the item for discussed among the Commission members. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to adopt Resolution No. 2724 recommending approval of SNC-24 based on the findings contained therein. ADDED ITEMS AND REPORTS: Chairman McFadden reported that the Brown Bag Luncheon schedule is being revised and a new schedule is forthcoming.
