HomeMy WebLinkAboutMP 139; Rancho Carrillo Master Plan; Master Plan (MP) (35)MEMORANDUM DATE: November 15, 1978 TO: Joe Eggleston Parks/Recreation Department FROM: vF Bud Plender, Assistant Planning Director SUBJECT: Request for Restaurant - Park Site Rancho Carillo This memo is in response to a letter from E.L. Daugherty and R.J. Smith doing business as Lake San Marcos Market. They asked the Parks and Recreation Commission for the use of the buildings at Rancho Carillo as a restaurant. These applicants should be made aware soon in the processing of the City requirements. The zoning of the property is P-C and their is an approved Master Plan (MP-139) . The site is shown on the Master Plan as a public park and does not call for a commercial enterprise such as a restaurant. Therefore it appears to me that the Master Plan would have to be amended before the City could consider a restaurant on the site. The processing of such Master Plan Amendment may be long and involved dealing with environmental reports and economic impact statements as well as total review of the land use of the existing Master Plan. Another option, that should be reviewed by the City Attorney if we wish to use, is to consider the restaurant public and leased out to public operators. If this is acceptable it may be then possible to process a conditional use permit with the present zone of P-C for a public building. In reviewing a CUP for a public building, the City would look at the impacts of providing sufficient parking, a safe and useable two-way driveway, proper access to Palomar Airport Road, and other similar concerns. The City Council will in addition have to consider other impacts such as who will pay for the above mentioned improvements, the improvements of the building, is the use of a restaurant a public use, and finally what are the impacts of the long-term goals for Carillo Park vs. the short-term needs for .occupancy to protect the building. There may be many other concerns that I have missed at this time but I felt it was necessary to give you some idea of the problems that would face any applicant for such a request.
