P.C. AGENDA OF: January 21, 2015
Application complete date: November 25, 2014
Project Planner: Pam Drew
SUBJECT:
Project Engineer: David Rick
CUP 260(E) -PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION -Request for a recommendation of
approval of a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to increase the hours of public access
to the Palomar Transfer Station (PTS) from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
to 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday on a site located at 5960 El Camino Real
between Faraday Avenue and El Camino Real and within in Local Facilities Management
Zone 5.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7080 RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL of an amendment to CUP 260, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
This project involves a request to increase the hours of public access to the PTS to 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday. Currently the public access hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday. Public access hours on Saturdays and Sundays are from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and would
not change.
The proposed changes in public access hours require approval of a CUP Amendment. The Planning
Commission would be the final decision maker on typical CUP amendments; however, this project is
located within the industrial zone (M) which requires City Council approval for this type of use.
The PTS was originally permitted on this site in 1977 (CUP 140), and there have been various extensions
and amendments (including a new permit number (CUP 260)) granted for the facility since that time. In
1977 the hours of operation for public access were 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. seven days a week. CUP 260(8)
allowed for public access from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday only. CUP 260(C) requested
to increase public access to include 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Planning Commission, at its December 1, 2004 meeting, recommended approval of the applicants
request to expand the PTS and to increase the hours for public access to Monday through Friday from
7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (CUP 260(C)).
The City Council, at its February 1, 2005 meeting, received a memo from the City Attorney suggesting
additional conditions to the CUP amendment, as a result of Mayor Lewis' concerns about traffic impacts
from outside of the city, which clarified the tonnage limit, the days/hours of operation and truck route
control. The City Council incorporated the City Attorney's additional conditions in Resolution No. 2005-
029. The public access hours were reduced to Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday remained the same from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

However, per the City of Carlsbad's Traffic Monitoring Program, dated October 28, 2004, the morning
peak hours were from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. at the intersections of El Camino Real at Palomar Airport
Road (2,218 total vehicles) and El Camino Real at Faraday Avenue (2,781 total vehicles). The reduced
hours for public access may have been related to the a.m. peak hour. However, the Level of Service (LOS)
for the morning peak hour at the intersections was B. LOS determinations are standardized criteria to
determine levels of operational efficiency and can range from A (free flowing traffic) to F (gridlocked
traffic). The City of Carlsbad has established the threshold for acceptable LOS at city intersections and
along roadway segments as LOS Dor better (80 to 90% capacity) during peak hours and LOS C during off-
peak hours.
Furthermore, the City Attorney's memo stated that the applicant may request an amendment to expand
the hours of operation up to the limits specified in the Project's Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR
04-03) for the CUP amendment (CUP 260(C)), adopted by the City Council on February 1, 2005. The FEIR
included analysis for public access seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Additionally, the Project's FEIR (04-03) states in Section 2.14.4.2 -Trip Distribution and Assignment, the
greatest traffic volumes for the PTS for any one-hour time period for the a.m. peak hour volume is from
6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and the p.m. peak hour volume is between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. According to
the application, the Waste Management collection trucks start departing the PTS at 5:30 a.m. and the last
truck leaves by 6:30 a.m. Given that all waste collection trucks leave the facility by 6:30 a.m., there is no
potential for conflicts with incoming public customers beginning at 7:00 a.m.
The FEIR analyzed the potential impacts of the project on the surrounding circulation system and
determined that the proposed project would have an adverse cumulative impact on the existing roadway
system in the vicinity of the project site. While the impacts were considered less than significant, the
project was required to contribute traffic impact fees to fund a fair share of the planned roadway
improvements for cumulative projects and related traffic growth in the City of Carlsbad. No additional
project specific mitigation measures were required.
The City of Carlsbad's Traffic Monitoring Program, dated November 18, 2014, states that the morning
peak hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. at the intersections of El Camino Real at Palomar Airport Road
(2,357 total vehicles) and El Camino Real at Faraday Avenue (3,400 total vehicles). The applicant stated
that approximately 40 to 50 vehicles arrive at the PTS between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The
applicant stated that they allow the vehicles to use the facility starting at 7:30 a.m. instead of turning
them away and requiring them to come back later. The Solid Waste Facility Permit issued by the County
of San Diego for the PTS states the facility's hours of operation for public access are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. The applicant would like the hours of operation for their CUP to be the same hours as their Solid
Waste Facility Permit. The LOS for these intersections is B. The City of Carlsbad Transportation
Department reviewed the proposed increase in public access hours and determined that no significant
impact would occur.
Ill. ANALYSIS
The existing transfer station continues to be consistent with all applicable plans, policies and regulations
described below:
A. City of Carlsbad General Plan Planned Industrial (Pl) designation;
B. Industrial (M) Zone regulations (Chapter 21.32 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code);
C. Conditional Use Regulations (Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code);
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan; and
E. Growth Management Regulations (Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code).

The recommendation for approval for this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency
with the applicable city regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above
regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. General Plan
Staff has analyzed the proposed project for consistency with the city's General Plan. Staff has concluded
that the project is consistent with the Pl General Plan designation as discussed in Table 1, below.

existing trash transfer facility,
which is an allowed use under the
Pl designation as implemented by
M zoning.
B. Industrial (M) Zoning
The existing PTS is permitted in the M (Industrial) zone subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
The amendment would only increase the hours of operation; therefore, setback and height requirements
are not applicable. The PTS, as modified by this amendment, would remain in compliance with all
applicable requirements of the M zone as demonstrated in Table 2, below.

C. Conditional Uses
Conditional uses such as the existing PTF possess unique and special characteristics which make it
impractical to include them as permitted uses "by right" in the various zoning districts. Staff has reviewed
the proposed CUP Amendment and has concluded that the necessary findings can be made as discussed
in detail in Table 3, below.
CUP 260{E)-PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION
January 21, 2015
Page 4
TABLE 3 -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
FINDING
That the requested use is necessary or desirable for
the development ofthe community, is essentially in
harmony with the various elements and objectives
of the General Plan, including, if applicable, the
certified Local Coastal Program, specific plan or
master plan.
That the requested use is not detrimental to
existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the
zone in which the proposed use is to be located.
That the site for the proposed conditional use is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading
facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and
required by the City Planner, planning commission
or city council, in order to integrate the use with
other uses in the neighborhood.
That the street system serving the proposed use is
adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by
the proposed use.
PROJECT CONSISTENCY
The proposed amendment is to increase hours of
operation for public access. No structures are
proposed.
The project site is surrounded by areas zoned for
open space or industrial uses. Much of the
surrounding area is undeveloped. The developed
sites contain industrial type uses (e.g., the CMWD
office and equipment storage yard, Safety Center,
etc.). Therefore, the expanded hours of operation
for public access is not detrimental to any existing
uses or permitted uses in the area.
The proposed amendment is to increase hours of
operation for public access. No structures are
proposed.
The LOS for the street system surrounding the PTS
is B which is considered to be acceptable. The
additional vehicles are not anticipated to change
the LOS at the intersections; therefore, the street
system serving the facility is adequate to properly
handle all existing and proposed traffic.
D. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
The proposed project site is within a ½ mile of the McClellan-Palomar Airport and is located within the
existing Airport Influence Area and the Airport Flight Activity Zone and as such is regulated by the
amended McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), dated March 4, 2010. The
project site is located outside the 60 dBA Community Noise Equivalent Level {CNEL) contour and is
compatible with the Noise/Land Use Compatibility Matrix. The finding required by the ALUCP can be
supported, as demonstrated in Table 4 below.
CUP 260(E)-PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION

TABLE 4 -MCCLELLAN-PALOMAR AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN -FINDINGS
FINDING RESPONSE
That the project is consistent with the McClellan-The adopted project findings for CUP 260(D), which are
Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907,
(ALUCP) as amended March 4, 2010. still apply to this project (CUP 260(E)). Furthermore, the
proposed amendment is to increase hours of operation for
public access. No structures are proposed.
That the proposed land use is compatible with the The proposed amendment is to increase hours of
airport (General Plan Land Use Element -Special operation for public access. No structures or land use
Planning Considerations -Airport). changes are proposed.
E. Growth Management Regulations
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 5 in the southeast quadrant of
the city and will have no impacts on public facilities. The LOS for the morning peak hour at the adjacent
intersections identify which ones were determined to be B. The project's incremental contribution to
morning peak hour trips does not impair the ability to maintain acceptable level of service at these
intersections. Based on the city's growth management policies, a LOS of Bis considered acceptable.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project was previously evaluated in the FEIR (04-03), dated September 2004, and adopted by the City
Council at its February 1, 2005 meeting. The FEIR evaluated the potential environmental effects, including
the proposed traffic and circulation impacts on the surrounding circulation system, to allow public access
to the PTS Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday. The proposed project is within the scope of the prior environmental document and no further
environmental documentation is required per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline
Section 15162.
