GPA 90-11/LCPA 90-8 PLANNING: 1. The required 1500 scale map of the subject property is not complete as submitted. Please make the following corrections/additions to the map: 2. 3. Specify the type of General Plan Commercial Designation being proposed. Provide the gross acreage requested for each General Plan Land Use Designation not the net acreage. Please note the MeUo I1 Local Coastal Plan provides for the development of a maximum of 137 acres of the property. The proposal submitted includes 103.5 acres and is based on net acreage. It is not clear whether it complies with the 137 acre maximum. The title for the exhibit should also indicate that this is a Local Coastal Plan Amendment. The location of Kelly Drive should be plotted on this exhibit as it crosses the property and is shown as a circulation element road on the General Plan Map. The proposed office designation adjacent to Palomar Airport Road should extend to the road right-of-way. Required setback will be taken out of the developable area. Provide the acreage for the area labeled as General Plan Open Space. The boundary of the NRR designated property plotted on the exhibit does not coincide with the boundary shown on the General Plan Map in the northeast and southeast areas of the property. An area south of Cannon Road is shown as Open Space on the General Plan Map. The description for RLM shown under the heading "Surrounding Land Use" should be corrected by removing the word extensive. The location map submitted shows areas within the City of Carlsbad as being County islands. Please correct. The following information is required for the Local Coastal Plan Amendment and is listed on the application checklist: a) b) c) Provide a discussion of the proposed amendments relationship to and effect on other sections of the previously certified LCP. List the zoning measures that will implement the LCPA. An analysis of potentially significant adverse cumulative impacts on coastal resources. h Bill Hofman January 25, 1991 Pane 3 4. An Environmental Impact Report will be required for the project. Please submit the required application and fee. A preliminaw indication of issues staff would require to be analyzed in the EIR is included under the Planning issues of concern section of this letter. Please be advised that a subsequent EIR would be required to evaluate the Specific Plan submitted for the property at a latter date. This would be a result of the general and speculative level of detail contained in an EtR on a GPMLCPA. A Specific Plan is required to be submitted prior to the conversion from agriculture land uses pursuant to Policy 2-2 of the Mello I1 Local Coastal Plan. That policy requires the approval of a specific plan to allow agricultural lands to convert to commercial uses. City staff has an outline indicating the format that should be followed for the future Specific Plan. The mitigation measures for GPMLU 88-2/ZC 88-4/LCPA 88-1 which are also found in City Council Resolution 88-348 shall be incorporated into the future Specific Plan. The Land Use Element of the General Plan has numerous references which require the submittal of a Specific Plan for the property including Policy "I" found on page 8. A Specific Plan will ultimately be required to implement the Special Treatment Area (Airport tnfluence Area) designation. Additional references are found on pages 9, 10, 17(e), 36, 37, 39 and 53(5,2). 5. A redlined check print of the General Plan Amendment is enclosed for your use. Please make all necessary revisions noted and return the check print with the revised exhibit. ENGINEERING: 1. Provide a constraints map with the following information: a) Easements b) c) Uncontrolled stockpile 1 Coastal Commission Deed Restricted Area 2. Provide an exhibit of existing General Plan Designations. 3. Provide traffic impact analysis. L Bill Hofman January 25, 1991 Pane 4 ISSUES OF CONCERN PLANNING: 1. 2. 3. 4. 4 5. A constraints map should be provided for the entire property at the same scale, 1:500, as the GPMLCPA exhibit or provide a new exhibit for each at a scale no smaller than 1:40. Required to analyze the appropriateness of the proposed land use designations as well as their locations. This information is also required to evaluate the LCPA by Policy 4-3(B) of the Mello 11 Local Coastal Plan. The Open Space Element Page 11, guideline number 3 states "Density and intensity of development on hillsides should relate to the slope of the land in order to preserve the integrity of the hillside." This issue will be considered in greater detail upon receipt of a constraints map for the property. Access to the area proposed for development in the center of the property needs to be planned for. The developable area does not appear to align opposite the signalized intersection being proposed for the Price Club on the south side of Palomar Airport Road. As an alternative is access to this property proposed to be taken from Cannon or Kelly Road? Policies D.2.1 to D.2.4 of the Circulation Element should be reviewed prior to deciding on a proposal to provide access to the property. An item included in the list of materials needed to make the applications complete was the issue that no more acreage than the 137 permitted by Policy 2-2 of the Mello I1 LCP can be proposed to be designated for development. A part of that same policy states that the conversion of the lands to commercial uses is allowed as a means of providing supplementary uses which will assist in the retention of agricultural uses on the remaining property. How will the proposed land use designations provide for supplementary uses that will accomplish the previously stated objective for allowing a change of land use? An Environmental Impact report will be required to evaluate the affects of the proposed land use change. This analysis cannot be deferred until development projects are proposed as suggested in the ELA Part 1. The designations and acreage of each would have already been established thereby providing the basis for possible significant adverse impacts. The areas of greatest concern are as follows: Landform alteration (aesthetic impact) Air Quality Water Quality Archeological and Paleontological Resources Agriculture Land Use (compatibility with airport operations and agricultural activities) Solid Waste Noise Bill Hofman January 25,1991 Pane 5 6. Compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Palomar Airport is an issue of concern. When the application is deemed complete the proposal will be sent to SANDAG for review and comment. ENGINEERING: 1. Provide copies of the following documents from the Title Report: a) b) c) d) Item 24 - Land Conservation Contract for the Ecke (Carltas) Agricultural Preserve No. 76-1. Item 28 - Reimbursement Agreement dated July 10, 1986. Item 39 - Reimbursement Agreement dated May 26, 1988. Item 40 - Notice of Approval of Rezoning and Consent to Condition. 2. The access to the commercial site must line up with proposed Price Club access (Tentative Parcel Map MS-837).
