Conditional Use Permit No. 106
Gentlemen:
JUN 20 1975
At the Planning Commission meeting held in your city on
May 27, 1975, the subject Conditional Use Permit was continued for a
period of thirty (30) days to enable the developer to respond to the staff
with an additional site design and to enable the developer to attempt to
work out a satisfactory agreement with the Carlsbad Unified School District
to meet the city's public facilities policy requirement.
Based on this continuance, we have taken the following actions:
1. We have authorized Rick Engineering and Allen M. Voorhees
and Associates, Inc. , transportation and planning consultants to review the
existing street system to enable our company to adequately respond to the
traffic circulation system concern as raised by the staff.
2. We requested the architectural firm of Corbin/Yamafugi
and Associates to review the site plan and prepare possible revisions for
review by the staff.
substantially mitigates the concerns that the staff has raised.
Attached please find a revised site plan which we feel
3. We have been in contact with the Carlsbad Unified School
District in an effort to finalize an agreement between the District and our
company to enable us to meet the city's public facilities policy requirement.

As you are aware, we forwarded a letter to the School District dated
May 23, 1975, advising that we would enter into an agreement with the
District under protest. On June 11, 1975, following a phone conversation
with the District, we received a response to our May 23 letter and a copy
of the District's agreement form. In reviewing the agreement form, we
find that there is no mention of the land in lieu of fee agreement which we
understood had been reached between the City of Carlsbad, the Carlsbad
Unified School District and Occidental Land and Development. It has always
been our company's understanding that the "contribution" to be made by the
developer to the School District on the Occidental properties was to be based
on an agreed-upon reduced fee which would take into account the land which
Occidental is providing to the city and the School District for public use.
Following receipt of the agreement from the District, I spoke
with Mr. Ken Wassman concerning the Occidental agreement and he has
advised us that he will meet with the School District in the next few days
in order to attempt to resolve the matter.
apparently exists concerning the contribution which we must make to the
School District in order to have the District provide the city with the necessary
information concerning the availability of future school facilities, we have not
been able to enter into a mutually satisfactory agreement with the School
District. Hopefully, the intercession of Mr. Wassman will enable us to
complete this agreement in the immediate future.
Because of the confusion which
Based on the above, we would respectfully recpest that- the
Planning Commission once again continue consideration of Conditional Use
Permit No. 106 to its first meeting in July. We recognize that it has been
necessary for us to request a number of continuances as we attempt to resolve
the problems pertaining to our proposed mobile home park development and
this request for an additional delay, we feel, is warranted on the basis that
we have advised the District of our willingness to enter into an agreement which
is consistent with the previously discussed understanding , but was not the
agreement which we received from the District. We will be prepared to provide
the Planning Commission with a current report as to the status of the discussions
with the School District at their meeting now scheduled for June 24, 1975.
Thanking you for your consideration of this request.
