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.
