NEW PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. ZCA-129, CITY OF CARLSBAD. An amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance to modify parking requirements in the R-W Zone.
A staff report was presented by Michael Holzmiller,
essentially as contained in the Statement of the Matter. He
briefly covered modifications to the original recommendations,
as indicated in the staff report.
Commission L'Heureux inquired how many undeveloped lots presently have pending condominium permit applications.
Staff responded there were approximately two. Commissioner
L'Heureux expressed concern over staff's original problem with
tandem parking, and inquired how they will justify their
change of position. Staff responded that after review with
the committee, and of the maps, they felt that it was not as
significant as originally thought.
Commissioner Larson expressed concern over the grandfather
clause, inquiring which standards would apply if the
condominium standards did not. Staff responded they would be
required to meet the standards for apartment development.

Commissioner Friestedt requested clarification on the
condominium ordinance for on-street parking, as staff is
recommending it be amended to prohibit on-street parking in
the R-W zone for undeveloped lots having no pending
application. Staff responded that the ordinance is excluding
already developed lots, and if they have a pending
application, they would fall under the grandfather clause.
Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 7:18 P.M., and
extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized Mary Ann Haasl, member of the
Board of Directors of the Bristol Cove Property Owners
Association. Ms. Haasl stated she supported the amendment,
although she feels that the on-street parking is not the
problem it appeared to be initially. She discussed traffic
flow and parking on Park and Cove, and stated it was some-
thing that the city could control with future plans. Mrs.
Haasl distributed maps of the area to the Commission. She
concluded that she was in support of the amendment, but
requested the Commission look at the parking situation, and
perhaps control it for future development.
Staff responded they felt strongly about two items, and
were willing to make trade-offs in working with the
committee. The first was that all undeveloped lots be broughl
up to standard, as far as number of required parking spaces,
both for residents and guests. Also, guest parking should be
on the site. He further explained that for these two reasons,
staff was willing to reconsider their original recommendation
on the tandem parking, and grandfathering in the existing
developments.
The Commission.recognized Mr. Don Brown of La Jolla. Mr.
Brown used a wall exhibit, and explained that 72 percent of
the lots were already developed, and 28 percent were vacant;
He stated his lot is undeveloped, with no application
pending, and he feels those with undeveloped lpts are un-
protected. He is also against a proposed bike lane on Park
Drive.
The Commission recognized Mr. Hugh Moore of Laguna Niguel.
Mr. Moore stated he was speaking more from the standpoint
of clarification. He stated he had not fil,ed an application,
however, he will be proposing a 3-unit building on a lot
less than 50 feet. Further, he stated he will be providing
four car parking underneath the building; two spaces out in
front, which will not be tandem parking, with an additional
two spaces under the building that will be tandem, Mr.
Moore requested an opinion from staff as to his position.
He added that he would like to use his property to its
fullest extent.
The Assistant City Attorney responded that the Commission
was not in a position to gove a commitment, in that none of
the required steps under the ordinance have been undertaken.
Also, he explained that staff was not in a position to give
an opinion, as they had not had a chance to review the
application.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman
Marcus closed the public hearing at 7:36 P.M.
Commissioner Friestedt requested some insight on the
bike path.

Richard Allen explained that on the General Plan, Park Drive
is one of the proposed routes for a future bike path. He
stated that-since that time, they have done a traffic study
in the area, which indicates that Park Drive may have to be
ultimately four lanes to handle the traffic, which would
eliminate both a parking and bike lane.
The Assistant City Attorney addressed Exhibit "A" on the
proposed ordinance. He stated his concern is,that if the
Commission intends to carry out staff's intent, he suggests
that it be returned to staff for re-drafting of the ordinance.
He stated there are some difficulties with the drafting stage;
i.e., the application for a condominium permit pre-supposes
that the permit will be granted. He stated the Commission
has to make a determination if the grandfather will be
instituted by filing an application, or if once the
application is filed, the project is exempted, or if they
will be exempting the existing buildings.
With regard to the exemption, he has some concern with the
matter in which the present ordinance is drafted.
Commissioner Jose expressed a difference in opinion with the
Environmental Impact Assessment Form, Item No. 13b.
Commissioner Larson stated he had no problem with issues
1,2, and 4 as listed in the staff report, however, he
expressed concern on the issue of the location of guest
parking, issue 3. Specifically, in not allowing on-street
parking, as credit for existing undeveloped lots in the area.
He stated the undeveloped lots should not be made to bear the
entire burden.
Commissioner Rombotis stated he felt it was successfully
demonstrated that the single lot could provide more on-site
parking, and the required visitor parking.
A motion was made to approve the Negative Declaration, and
direct staff to return a resolution approving ZCA-129.
2. CT 80-15(A)/PUD-17(A), SHAW, TALBOT, BUDGE AND DAVIS
Request for approval of the second phase of a planned
industrial development on Avenida Encinas between
Cannon Road and Palomar Airport Road in the P-M zone.
Michael Holzmiller presented a Statement of the Matter,
briefly outlining the project.
The staff report was continued by Bill Hofman, who, with the
aid of wall exhibits, depicted the location, design, and
project description. Mr. Hofman also gave a brief review
of the background of the project. He concluded that
staff can support the reduction of the P-M standards, based
on the proposed amenities,

Staff also feels the project is well designed, and compatible
with Phase I.
In response to inquiry by Commissioner Friestedt as to
whether the developer will provide locker and shower .
facilities for those who use the jogging course. Mr. Hofman
stated the applicant would advise on this.
Chairman Marcus opened the-public hearing at 7:59 P.M., and
extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized Mr. Robert Sundstrom, of Williamson
and Schmidt, agent for the applicant. Mr. Sundstrom brought
the Commission up to date as to what has taken place since
Phase I was approved. He added that they have received
approval from the City Council and the Coastal Commission,
and have proceeded with Phase I. Mr. Sundstrom briefly
covered the question of the time period to sever from
Burroughs property. With Phase I, they have proceeded to
acquire the dedication rights. He added that all plans
have been submitted to the city, and they hope to break ground
sometime in Marchr
Mr. Sundstrom responded to Commissioner Friestedt's inquiry
on locker and shower facilities, stating there will be some
type of individual private locker facilities spread through- out the building, however, not each one of the buildings will
have their own private facilities. They are designed in the
individual buildings themselves. He added that the jogging
course is not intented as a vigorous course, but is provided
for the enjoyment of the employees of the business park. Mr.
Sundstrom concluded that with respect to thestaff report,
the property owner, applicant, sub-divider, and developer have
reviewed each individual condition, and they concur with the
conditions contained in same.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman
Marcus closed the public hearing at 8:07 P.M. _
Commissioner Friestedt stated that in regard to the Fire
Department, it was his understanding that the Commission's
intent based on past decisions was to base fire hydrant
standards on Fire and Building Code requirements instead of
on the Fire Marshall's determination.
Michael Holzmiller responded that the Commission in the past
had intended that only requirements for a fire sprinkler
be based on code requirements. With respect to hydrants,
there may be access problems, and a hydrant may be,necessary
even though the fire code may not require one. Hydrant
placement should therefore be up to the discretion of the
Fire Marshall.
Commissioner Friestedt requested clarification on Condition
No. 31, ie., approval of the Fire Department on alarm systems,
etc., it should be the Building Code and Fire Code, with
the Fire Marshall using his discretion on hydrants.
A motion was made recommending approval of the Notice of
Prior Compliance, and the following resolutions were adopted,
recommending approval of CT 80-15(A) and approval of PUD-17(A)
based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.

3. X-227, CITY OF CARLSBAD; Consideration of a change of
zone of existing mobile home parks in Carlsbad to the RMHP zone (Mobile Home Park Zone) in order to implement
the new Mobile Home Park Ordinance.
The staff report was presented by Michael Holzmiller,
essentially as contained in the Statement of the Matter.
Mr. Holzmiller pointed out, for clarification purposes, that
on the Negative Declaration, under the Project Description, the term "Administrative Zone Change" was not applied in a
legal sense, it was a planning term in that the zone change is not being requested for development.
Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 8:14 P.M., and
extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized Mr. Joe Tengler, 7214. San Bartolo,
Carlsbad; representing the Rent Negotiating Committee of
Lakeshore Gardens Mobile Home Park. Mr. Tengler expressed
his support of the zone change, and he represented 2,000
other park residents who recommended approval of the zone change.
The Commission recognized Mr. Jack Robinson, owner of the
Lanakai Lane Mobile Home Park. Mr. Robinson indicated that
he was not opposed to the zone change, but only a portion of it. Mr. Robinson expressed concern with 21.37.110(3),
sub-paragraph (b), of the Mobilehome Ordinance.dealing with
the changing the use of a mobile home park at a future date.
Mr. Robinson also expressed opposition to the provision of relocating the tenants within 15 miles of the Pacific
coastline, stating he did not feel this would be a feasible
condition.
The Commission recognized Mr. Ken Reed, 4051 Sunnyhill,
Carlsbad; a lawyer speaking in behalf of Ranch0 Carlsbad
Mobile Home Park. Mr. Reed stated his opposition to the
Mobilehome Park Ordinance as previously expressed by Mr.
Jack Robinson.

Drive, Carlsbad. Mr. Swanson stated he served as a member
of the Advisory Committee to the Planning Commission in
considering the contents of the ordinance. Mr. Swanson
reviewed the background of the ordinance, and stated he feels
the four parks should be included and zoned according to the
Mobile Home Park Zoning Ordinance.

In response to an inquiry from Chairman Marcus regarding the
provision for relocation of the tenants, Michael Holzmiller
responded that the Ordinance does not state the tenants must
be relocated. It states there are a number of factors that
should guide the Council in approving or disapproving the
request to remove the Mobile Home Park Zone. One of the
factors is the availability of relocation housing. Mr.
Holzmiller explained that at the time that a request would be
made to remove the zone, there would have to be a relocation
plan submitted with the application, and it would have to
include information on how the impact on the tenants would be reduced.
Commissioner L'Heureux suggested-to the park owners that they
seek to amend the zone code.
The Commission discussed alternatives to the adoption of the
zone change.
A motion was made to approve the Negative Declaration, and
adopt Resolution No. 1755, recommending approval of ZC-227
to the City Council, based on the findings contained therein.
The motion died due to lack of a second.
A motion was made to continue this item to the next Planning
Commission meeting, and that staff be directed to prepare
a resolution indicating the Commission's intent for a zone code
amendment, specifically addressing the relocation issue, as
discussed at this meeting.
Commissioner Friestedt amended the motion to continue this
item to the meeting of March 25, 1981.
A motion was made to direct staff to prepare a Resolution of
Intention to amend the Mobile Home Park Zone, as titled by
Commissioner Friestedt.
RECESS
Chairman Marcus called a recess at 9:07 P.M., and the '
Commission reconvened at 9:23 P.M.
4. CUP-191, SUN FAIRE. Request to conduct annual faire on
the easterly portion of Carlsbad Raceway in the C-2 zone.
The staff report was presented by Bill Hofman. With the aid
of wall exhibits, Mr. Hofman detailed the location and design
of the Faire. He reported that staff had two concerns with
the project; first the potential traffic impacts, and
secondly, the amount of parking required for the use. He
stated that in respect to the potential traffic impacts, a
Traffic Impact Report was prepared, as staff was concerned
as to whether the street system, both on-site and off-site,
could accommodate the traffic generated by the project. The
report indicates several mitigation measures that, if adopted,
would minimize the traffic impact to an acceptable level.

Mr. Hofman stated that staff has added these measures as
conditions of approval.
With respect to the second concern regarding the amount of
parking, Mr. Hofman indicated the amount of parking available
on the site should alleviate any problems. Mr. Hofman
explained that in the event more traffic is anticipated, the
applicant would lease more property, located between the site
and Palomar Airport Road. Mr. Hofman concluded that additional
conditions have been placed regarding security and traffic
control. Overall, staff feels the site is very well suited
to this type of project. Mr. Hofman explained that if
unforeseen problems occur, a condition has been placed to
require a review of the use after one year. The item could be
scheduled for a new public hearing. Otherwise, the permit
would be good for a period of six years.
Mr. Hofman added that the applicant has personally met with
representatives from each city departments including the
Police and Fire Departments, and has satisfactorily resolved their concerns.
'
Mr. Hofman stated that staff wished to make one change to
the resolution, Item No. 11; changing "from May to September
only," to read "from May 1 to September 30 only."
Commissioner L'Heureux expressed concern on Condition No. 5,
inquiring who was responsible to pay for traffic control.
Staff responded that it would be private traffic, control,
provided by the operators of the Faire, in coordination with
our Police Department, and to their satisfaction. Com-
missioner L'Heureux also inquired if paramedics would be
required to be on-site. Mr. Holzmiller requested that the
applicant might be able to address this.
Commissioner Larson expressed concern over the potential
of a traffic problem for five full months, and inquired as
to what alternatives there are, rather than having to wait a
full year to review the CUP for the following year.
Michael Holzmiller responded this was discussed with the
applicant, and they are very interested in taking care of
any problems that do occur. The Police Department will
monitor the situation, and work with the applicant. If there is a need to add conditions after the Faire has started, the
applicant is agreeable to this. Mr. Holzmiller stated that
a condition could be added at this time to insure same.
Commissioner Jose expressed his opposition to allowing
alcoholic beverages. He also stated he feels there should be
public drinking fountains provided. He also feels that the
restroom facilities are inadequate.
Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 9:37 P.M., and
extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized Mr. Steve Robbat, 692 Orchid Lane,
De1 Mar, one of the producers of Sun Faire. Mr. Robbat
explained the theme of Sun Faire. He stated it is an
international festival and a cultural event. Mr. Robbat
briefly explained what,type of activities, entertainment, and
food would be presented in each region. He addressed the
potential traffic problem, stating that an average group
will be able to go through the Faire in approximately two
hours; thus they project 400 to 500 people going through at
one time.

Mr. Robbat also pointed out that the raceway is normally
set is for the public to pay at the entrance; however, the
Faire is suggesting the public will come all the way through
to the parking entrance where they will go through booths to
pay. Mr. Robbat stated he feels this will somewhat alleiriate‘
the potential traffic problem. He explained they will have
10 to 12 employees directing traffic, and 16 to 18 on the
weekends. In response to Commission inquiry reference medical
personnel availability, Mr.. Robbat explained that they will
have a Registered gurse on duty at all times.
Mr. Robbat addressed the issue of alcoholic beverages, stating
that they are creating a family atmosphere. There will be
no hard liquor served; just beer and wine. He indicated he
did not feel they would have problems with intoxication or
rowdiness,.as the major portion of the Faire is held in the
daytime, and he again stressed the family atmosphere. Also,
he pointed out that it is subject to the approval of the
Police Department and the Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Commissioner Friestedt inquired if there was a budget for
this project. Mr, Robbat responded that it was $200,000.00.
Commissioner Jose stated he would like a condition added for
more stringent dust control. Also, he would like to see
provisions made for an additional drinking fountain.
In. conclusion, Mr. Robbat stressed that Sun Faire was striving
for authenticity and providing activities, entertainment, and
food that are cultural in nature. Also, the number of
merchants allowed will be limited in each region, and only
top quality items will be sold and displayed-.
Commissioner Friestedt inquired if they had a Standard
'Operating Procedures Manual. Mr. Robbat responded that 'they
did not at this time, however, one could be provided.
However, Mr. Robbat stated they have been working on this
project for over two years, and they .have quidelines and very
detailed plans.

Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman
Marcus closed the public hearing,at l1:22 P.M.
In response to Commission inquiry, Michael Holzmiller
explained that the Q overlay was recommended as the property
is surrounded on two sides by single family residences.
Staff's concern is that they are at a lower elevation and
there is a posssibility that the units, if two story, would
be looking straight down into the rear yards. He continued

9. ZCA-131, CITY OF CARLSBAD. An amendment to the zoning
ordinance to allow advertising on bus shelter structures.
The staff report was presented by Michael Holzmiller,
essentially as contained in the Statement of the Matter.
Commissioner Jose inquired if Staff had considered putting
lighted bus route maps on the advertising panels in the
shelters. Bill Hofman indicated that to his knowledge it
was never discussed, but agreed with the concept.
In response to Commission inquiry as to the monitoring of
the types of advertising allowed in the bus shelters,
the Assistant City Attorney responded that the contract
entered into between the City and the developer, will provide
the guidelines by which the applicant and/or advertiser will
agree to comply. In addition, they are subject to the sign
ordinance. The Commission discussed their views on shelters.
Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 11<38 P.M., and
extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized Mr. Jack Henthorn, Housing and
Redevelopment Director, who stated that he was speaking to
reaffirm the stance of the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory
Committee, in that they were opposed to the location of bus
benches within the redevelopment area. The basis for the
opposition is that they had a Master Plan done for the
commercial area located within the redevelopment area, which
contained recommendations as to what the street furniture
should look like.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman
Marcus closed the public hearing at 11:47 P.M.
A motion was made to deny Resolution No. 1753, due to the .
Commission's concern over the monitoring of the types of
advertising, and the fact that our climatic conditions do not.
require she.ltering at the bus stops.
