TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL ACTION ON THE CHAPPEE REQUEST FOR
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
-------------------------------------------· ---------------------
The City Council, on November 21, 1972, c6nsidered an appeal of the
Planning Commission's decision denying a Request for a Conditional Use
Permit to allow an Auto Wrecking Yard submitted by Eugene c~ Chappee.
The City Council granted the appeal of t~e Planning Commission's
decision as outlined below:
"A motion was made that the appeal be granted for a Conditional
Use Permit for the operation of an Auto Wrecking and Dismantling
Yard for a period of ten (10) years, subject to the following con-
ditions:
1. That a future street improvement agreement between the City of
Carlsbad and the applicant be entered into covering the total westerly
front of Parcel #16.
2. That the applicant install a water main and one fire hydrant,
said fire hydrant to be located to the satisfaction of the tity Fire
Chief.
3. That the height limitation of stacked material from ground level
not exceed 20 feet, as agreed by the applicant.
4. That landscaping on the northeasterly boundary be accomplished
for screening purposes, as agreed by the applicant, and subject to
the City's Environmental Protection Ordinance.
5. That the approval of applicant's request be subject to the
resolution of a parcel split of subject property. •
Councilman Lewis indicated he was not opposed to the CUP being granted
but felt the time limit of ten years was too long and a period of
seven years should be the maximum time limit for this CIJP.11
.The Planning Commission decision to deny the Chappee application
(August 27, 1972) was based on:
1. The Ponto area is in a state of flux and transition. Property
to the east is currently under a Planned Community Master Plan. The·
first phase, 55 acres, is developing· as a 386 unit mobile home park.
2. The entire section of the Carlsbad Planning Area south of
Palomar Airport Road between the Pacific Ocean and easterly limits
of the CMWD boundary is presently under an active General Plan Review.

3. The proposed C.U.P. is not in conformance with the existing
General Plan.
Simultaneously, the Commission requested that an Environmental
Impact Statement be submitted prior to final approval. Additionally,
the Commission felt that existing problems in the Ponto area should
• -not be compounded at the present time. And,that the proposed General
Plan Revision should be completed prior ~o final decision.
This application has been returned to the Planning Commission for
report. The Planning Commission may either reaffirm its original
decision, or may concur with the City Council decision granting the
appeal with conditions.
Proposition 20 and the intent to· provide a Master Plan for the Coastal
Zone reflect another consideration. An adopted statewide Master Plan
is required by 1975. The City is also proposing a General Plan
Revision to be completed in twelve (12) months (January, 1974).
Therefore, any time designation for land use in the Ponto area should
reflect Planning Commission review subsequent to the projected com-
pletion of the Coastal Zone Master Plan and the City of Carlsbad
General Plan Revision.
