Subsequent to the meeting, Planning Department staff received this information from the applicant and prepared the Planning Commission staff report for the January 17, 2001 hearing. While staffs recommendation remains as presented on January 3, 2001, the following revisions to the approving resolution have been prepared based upon Planning Commission input and direction. Should the Planning Commission desire to modify staff's recommendation to include part or all of the applicant's proposal, then the following revised conditions would be recommended: Revise Conditions No. 8 and 13 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 4876 as indicated by the italized text below: 8. This Precise Plan Amendment shall be reviewed by the Planning Director on a yearly basis to determine if all conditions of this permit have been met and that the use does not have a substantial negative effect on surrounding properties or the public health and welfare. If the Planning Director determines that the use has such substantial negative effects, the Planning Director shall recommend that the Planning Commission, after providing the permittee the opportunity to be heard, add additional conditions to reduce or eliminate the substantial negative effects. The results of the first annual review shall be presented to the Planning Commission under a public hearing format to allow for input and review of the impact of the proposed events and their duration. 13. The temporary promotional events shall comply with the following restrictions: A. The number of events is limited to a total of three per calendar year and shall be limited to the following type of events: boat show, RV show, custom or antique car show, computer show and/or spa show. In addition to the three shows per year, a Halloween pumpkin patch that includes: small kiddie rides aimed at ages 10 years and under, a petting zoo, inflated bounce equipment, ring toss, and other carnival games would also be allowed once per year. PP 24(1) - PLAZA CAMINO REAL TEMPORARY OUTDOOR EVENTS January 17, 2001 Page 2 B. The hours of the events shall be limited to the operating hours of the Plaza Camino Real mall; C. The three show events shall be limited to a maximum duration of calendar days, with day(s) for set-up and day(s) for tear down; the Halloween pumpkin patch event shall be limited to a maximum duration of calendar days, with day(s) for set-up and day(s) for tear down; D. The events shall be limited to the southwestern portion of the parking area, as shown on Exhibit "A", dated January 3, 2001. E. At least 30 days prior to a scheduled event, the event coordinator shall submit a description of the event (including, but not limited to, duration, areal extent, proposed activities, proposed structures, proposed signage, proposed pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns) to the Planning, Fire and Police Departments for review. These departments, and any other affected City departments, may request alterations to the event layout or operations based upon conformance to City codes and policies, including but not limited to fire protection/prevention and use of City law enforcement personnel at the event. All event sponsors shall apply for, and receive, a City of Carlsbad Business License prior to the final authorization of the event. The maximum duration for events and set-up/take down have been purposefully left blank to allow the Planning Commission to derive the recommended parameters.

After reading the draft minutes of the January 3rd meeting, my understanding of the direction given by the Commission to staff is that the Commission wanted staff to revise the wording of the conditions in the proposed Resolution. The rewording was to reflect in some way the details of what was proposed at the Commission meeting as an alternative to both our original request and staffs original recommendation. The new staff report accurately states what I faxed to staff to assist in the wording, which was what I proposed at the January 3rd meeting except for the spa show. However, staff has maintained their original recommendation, with the alternative that if the commission approves our proposal that there should then be a public hearing in a year. It does not appear that there is an issue with the types of events. Therefore, it is not clearly understood why having four of these events for 10 days duration each (the proposed alternative) would require another public hearing, yet having three of these events for four days duration each (staffs position) would not. The duration of the Halloween carnival event is a separate issue. It is felt that the resolution's requirement for the annual review provides sufficient opportunity for assessment of all these events. Additionally, as was discussed at the January 3rd meeting, having these events at the Center is not new, so we are not breaking new ground. This application is to validate and establish the process to continue them. Thank you for your time and consideration, and once again 1 look forward to coming before you.

As stated in the Staff report, there are aspects of Staffs recommendations that raise concerns on our part. This letter is to clarify those concerns for the Commissioners in order to facilitate the proceedings on January 3. The following are the specific areas of concern: 1. Types of Events - The report describes a Special Event at length. However, Table 1 indicates that a Carnival (associated with a pumpkin patch operation) may require a Special Events permit, but does not indicate the determining factors. It is unclear when a carnival would qualify as a Special Event and when it would fall under this amendment. 2. Duration of Events - Our request for up to 30 days is based on the amount of time required to successfully present the specific events described in our application. Operators of these events cannot successfully conduct them within a four-day period. Not all events would need to run 30 days, but the Halloween Carnival (described above) does require 30 days. Other events would generally require from 10 days (1 week, 2 weekends) up to 17 days '2 weeks, 3 weekends) each. 3. Maximum Number of Events - While the number of events per year was not spec fied in the application, it is requested that the Commission approve 5 events, excluding Special events and seasonal events. Five events a year would total only 10 weeks a year if they were all 17 days long, which they all will not be. Plaza Camino Real has held the types of events discussed in the application for many years. They provide a service to the people of Carlsbad, and have been well received. The operators are reputable businesses who have complied with City business ordinances. Not until late 1998 was it brought to our attention that the Precise Plan did not provide for these events. It is for this reason that this application is submitted, to validate a long-standing practice. We are sensitive to the desires to present these events in a first-class manner, and are committed to doing so. I appreciate your time and consideration, and look forward to appearing before you.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND On January 3, 2001, the Planning Commission considered the proposed Precise Plan Amendment for the Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Outdoor Events. The project was continued to January 17, 2001, in order to gather additional specificity as to the applicant's request. On January 8, 2001, staff received a facsimile from the applicant containing the following information: Events requested: One Halloween carnival associated with a pumpkin patch operation, with small kiddie rides aimed at ages 10 and under, petting zoo, inflated bounce equipment, ring toss, and other carnival games. Duration not to exceed 30 days, plus 7 day set-up and 7 day take down. Events from the following list to be permitted, not to exceed three events per year. Duration of each event not to exceed 10 days, plus 2 day set-up and 2 day take down: RV show, Boat show, Car show (custom, antique), Computer show and Spa show. Staffs original recommendation, as contained in the attached staff report dated January 3, 2001, remains as staffs current recommendation. Should the Planning Commission desire to modify staffs recommendation to include the applicant's proposal, then staff would additionally recommend that the first annual review required by Condition No. 8 of Planning Commission 4876 be presented to the Planning Commission under a public hearing format to allow for input and review of the impact of the proposed events and their duration. Should the review be o PP 24(1) - PLAZA CAMIiro REAL TEMPORARY PROMOTIONS OUTDOOR EVENTS January 17, 2001 PAGE 2 considered favorable, then subsequent annual reviews would proceed administratively, as is normally the case.

I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4876, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of Precise Plan Amendment PP 24(1), based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II.INTRODUCTION The proposal involves the occasional use of a portion of the Plaza Camino Real parking lot for temporary promotional sales events. The events would be located in the southwestern corner of the parking lot (near the intersection of Marron Road and Monroe Street). The applicant, Westfield Corporation, anticipates events to include custom car shows, recreational vehicle shows, computer shows, and similar events. Staff has no issues with the proposal as conditioned, however some of the proposed restrictions raise concerns with the applicant. The applicant has chosen to proceed with the approval process and present their concerns regarding the impacts of these restrictions to the Planning Commission and City Council. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Westfield Corporation is requesting approval of a Precise Plan Amendment to allow the occasional use of a portion of the Plaza Camino Real parking lot for temporary promotional sales events. The Plaza Camino Real site is designated Regional Commercial (R) in the City's General Plan and is zoned General Commercial (C-2). The mall property covers 85 acres and is bounded by El Camino Real to the east, Marron Road to the south, North County Plaza shopping center to the west, and Buena Vista Creek and Highway 78 to the north. There is a small portion of property covered by this Precise Plan on the south side of Marron Road just west of El Camino Real (as shown on Exhibit "A", dated January 3, 2001). The existing buildings, including those south of Marron Road, total 1,117,534 square feet in area and are served by a total of 6,378 parking spaces. Also on the mall property is a bus transfer station operated by North County Transit District (NCTD). PP 24(1) - PLAZA CAMIN^REAL TEMPORARY PROMOTIONAL SALES EVENTS January 3, 2001 Page 2 The area proposed for the temporary events, as shown on Exhibit "A", dated January 3, 2001, covers approximately 4.4 acres in the southwestern portion of the mall parking lot (or approximately 523 parking spaces). This area of the 6,378-space parking lot has historically been underutilized and has hosted numerous seasonal sales events and special events in the past without incident. The proposed event area would be primarily accessed through the existing entrance at Marron Road and Monroe Street, however no restrictions to other mall access areas are proposed with this permit. Currently the Plaza Camino Real mall has more than ample parking and circulation to meet City requirements. There are 6,378 parking spaces, whereas only 4,981 spaces are required based upon the gross floor area of all uses within the mall property. Therefore there are 1,397 spaces within the parking lot to accommodate the event area and event parking while still providing the required amount of parking for the mall. There are six ingress and egress points for the mall. The closest ingress/egress to the proposed event area is a long, uninterrupted extension of Monroe Road that extends 550 feet north of Marron Road before encountering a parking lot access aisle. Therefore the location of the event area does not interfere with adequate ingress and egress to the mall property. The design features described above explain why previous events in the mall parking area have not created impacts to parking or circulation. The events proposed through this Precise Plan Amendment are different than other outdoor events allowed in the City, such as Special Events or Seasonal Sales Facilities. If an event qualifies as a Special Event, then it undergoes the Special Event Permit process administered by the Carlsbad Police Department. The Police Department, in concert with the multi-departmental Special Events Committee, reviews the proposal for consistency with the regulations of the Special Event Permit Ordinance. Special Events are narrowly defined by Section 8.17.010 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Some of the defining criteria are listed below: • A Special Event must result in or require modifications to traffic flow patterns and/or traffic parking regulations; OR have an expected attendance of more than 1,000 people. The first criterion essentially means that some form of traffic control on public or private streets, such as traffic cones or traffic control officers, and/or some restriction of street parking would be needed to ensure the safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to the event; • A Special Event does not include activities at parks or recreation facilities, libraries or other centers for which a specific permit process exists. This would include City Parks and Recreation Department events as well as events covered under a Conditional Use Permit or other discretionary permit; • A Special Event is not to be held for the sole purpose of advertising any product, goods or event, and is not designed to be held purely for profit. The events proposed through the Precise Plan Amendment do not meet the criteria of a Special Event listed above. The expected attendance of the events is less than 1,000 people per day and, given the uninterrupted egress to the site and ample parking areas, no modifications to the public traffic flow patterns or traffic parking regulations would be needed. The proposed amendment to the Precise Plan would allow the proposed events, provided they follow the administrative PP 24(1) - PLAZA CAMrS REAL TEMPORARY PROMOTIONAL SALES EVENTS January 3, 2001 PaRe3 procedure established by the Precise Plan Amendment, therefore a specific permit process would exist for these temporary events. Also, the proposed temporary events would be held for the sole purpose of advertising and sales of items for profit, which is precluded for Special Events by the ordinance. The proposed Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events also differ from events designated as Seasonal Sales Facilities. According to Community Development Policy No. 3, dated December 9, 1987, the purpose of the Seasonal Sales Facility provision is to control operation of temporary seasonal sales locations, such as Holiday tree lots and pumpkin patches. Due to the short term and focused nature of the events, an administrative process was derived to review the seasonal events to ensure their legal and safe operation. The events proposed through this Precise Plan Amendment are not limited to particular seasons and are not focused on holiday seasonal sales items, such as trees or pumpkins, therefore they do not qualify as Seasonal Sales Facilities. In addition to proposing events not definable as Special Events or Temporary Sales Locations, the uses proposed through the Precise Plan Amendment are uses not normally allowed in commercial zones. Section 21.28.020 of the Zoning Ordinance states that all uses in the General Commercial (C-2) Zone shall be conducted wholly within a building except for those uses such as gasoline stations and nurseries that are normally conducted in the open. This provision precludes the types of outdoor promotional sales events proposed with this permit request. Therefore, the applicant has requested a Precise Plan Amendment to enable such events to occur with certain restrictions, but in conformance with Precise Plan 24. The Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events permit would contain regulations on the number of events, duration of each event, and the review of safety service provision needs. The proposed permit restrictions and processing requirements, contained in Table 1 below, are not as originally proposed by the applicant. The applicant has expressed concerns about some of these restrictions, therefore the table below lists both the applicant's original proposals and the recommendations of staff. The proposed regulations contained in Table 1 are reiterated as conditions of approval in Planning Commission Resolution No. 4876. TABLE 1 - PROPOSED RESTRICTIONS FOR TEMPORARY EVENTS Event Aspect Type of events Hours of event Duration of events Applicant Proposal Temporary Promotional Sales Events (e.g. custom car shows, computer shows, RV shows). Carnivals (associated with pumpkin patches, etc.) Same as mall hours. 30 days maximum. Staff Recommendation Allowed through Precise Plan Amendment subject to conditions of approval. Carnivals may require a Special Events Permit; pumpkin patches require a Seasonal Sales Facilities Permit. No changes to these processes recommended. Same as mall hours. 4 days maximum. PP 24(1) - PLAZA CAMIN January 3, 2001 Page 4 REAL TEMPORARY PROMOTIO SALES EVENTS Location of events Two proposed; northeastern area of parking lot near El Camino Real and southwest corner of parking lot. Northeast location is too congested. Recommend only the southwesterly location be used for commercial events. Maximum number of events None proposed.Limit to three events per year, excluding Special Events and seasonal sales events. Required notification None proposed.Notification to City no less than 30 days prior to event, multiple departmental approval required (Planning, Fire, Police) Expiration of Precise Plan Amendment None proposed.Expiration in five years unless extended by the City Council, similar to other experimental or conditional uses. As detailed in the table above, there are other events that may occur within the Plaza Camino Real parking lot that are regulated by different ordinances and/or policies. The mall's parking area has been, and may continue to be, used for seasonal sales events such as pumpkin patches and Holiday tree sales. As discussed above, these events are currently permitted through the City's existing Seasonal Sales Facilities process. Should the mall desire to host a special event, such as a carnival or athletic competition, the event would require the processing of a Special Events Permit through the City's Special Events Committee. While there is no codified limit to the duration of a Special Event, they are usually limited to two to four days in length due to the type of event (triathalon, marathon, Oktoberfest, etc.). A recent example of a Special Event that was held in the same area proposed for the promotional events was the City's Community Bicycle Rodeo. On May 20, 2000, the City of Carlsbad Police Department hosted a bicycle safety event with safety testing and materials, an obstacle course, DWV registration, and displays from local bike shops. The event proceeded without incident and, due to its success, may be repeated in the future. It is important to note that all of the events described above are regulated either by Seasonal Sales Facilities Permits or Special Events Permits; these events are different from the promotional sales events proposed through this Precise Plan Amendment. Due to the uniqueness of this permit request, staff has developed the above restrictions on an experimental basis. The proposed temporary promotional sales events are similar to Conditional Uses in that they possess characteristics of such unique and special form as to make them impractical to automatically include them as a permitted use in any zone. Therefore, this Precise Plan Amendment has been conditioned to undergo yearly reviews and will expire in five years, unless extended within a timely manner. The Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events proposal is subject to the following regulations: A. General Plan; B. Plaza Camino Real Precise Plan (PP 24); PP 24(1)-PLAZA CAM January 3, 2001 Page 5 REAL TEMPORARY PROMOTIO SALES EVENTS C. C-2 - General Commercial Zone (Chapter 21.28 of the Zoning Ordinance); D. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance); E. Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan. IV. ANALYSIS The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis section discussed compliance with each of these regulations/policies utilizing both text and tables. A.General Plan The Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events proposal is consistent with the applicable policies and programs of the General Plan. Particularly relevant to the occasional promotional sales event use request are the Land Use, Circulation, Noise and Public Safety elements. Table 2 below indicates how the project complies with these particular elements of the General Plan. TABLE 2 - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE Element Use Classification, Goal, Objective or Program Proposed Use and Improvements Compliance Land Use The site is designated for Regional Commercial uses. Comprehensively design all commercial centers to address common ingress, egress, adequate off-street parking and loading facilities. Each center should be easily accessible by pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles to nearby residential development. The proposed temporary events are commercial uses and are consistent with the Regional Commercial designation. Area proposed for events will not impact ingress, egress, or internal parking lot circulation; and the temporary use of 523 parking spaces does not adversely affect the provision of parking for uses within the mall. Yes Yes Circulation The provision of safe, adequate and attractively landscaped parking facilities. The proposed temporary promotional events would take place in an underutilized portion of the parking lot and would not interfere with parking lot circulation. Yes Noise Industrial and commercial land uses which do not produce significantly adverse noise impacts. The proposed temporary events will likely not produce more noise than normal use of the parking lot and all events are restricted to the same operating hours as the mall. Yes PP 24(1) - PLAZA CAMlS REAL TEMPORARY PROMOTIONAL SALES EVENTS January 3, 2001 Page 6 TABLE 2 - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE Element Public Safety Use Classification, Goal, Objective or Program To reduce fire hazards to an acceptable level of risk. Proposed Use and Improvements All proposed temporary events would require review and approval from the Fire Department for the proposed structures and fire protection and prevention provisions. Compliance Yes Given the above, the Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events proposal is consistent with the applicable programs and policies of the General Plan. B. Plaza Camino Real Precise Plan (PP 24) Initially constructed in 1968 and 1969, the Plaza Camino Real mall has a relatively complex permit history. The original mall and related parking covered approximately 55 acres and included a 148,000 square foot May Company, a 158,000 square foot J.C. Penny's, and 276,501 square feet of mall stores. The area used for parking is actually owned by the City and was leased to Plaza Camino Real pursuant to a Lease Agreement, dated August 21, 1969. In 1975, the City and Plaza Camino Real, L.P. entered into an agreement regarding the future expansion of the mall as well as another parking agreement regarding the financing, construction and maintenance of the mall parking lot. In 1977, the City Council approved Precise Plan 24, allowing an expansion of the mall with a 149,000 square foot Sears, a 108,000 Bullocks, and 146,580 square feet of other mall stores. Also included with the mall expansion were amendments to the previous operating and parking lot agreements. Prior to the complete construction of the expansion, three additional Precise Plan Amendments were processed and approved. In 1978, Precise Plan Amendments PP 24(A) and PP 24(B) were approved by the City Council. These amendments allowed the further expansion of the mall to include a 152,000 square foot Broadway. In 1980, PP 24(C) was approved by the City Council, reducing the size of the Bullock's department store to 115,000 square feet, a relocation of the NCTD bus transfer station from the north side of the mall to the south side, and minor modifications to the peripheral parking lot circulation. In 1983, another Precise Plan Amendment was approved in conjunction with a Specific Plan (PP 24(D)/SP 187), which allowed the removal of 17.6 acres of the westernmost portion of the Plaza Camino Real site in preparation of the development of the North County Plaza shopping center. The next two amendments to the Plaza Camino Real Precise Plan took place in 1991 (PP 24(E)) and 1993 (PP 24(F)); these amendments involved the redesign and expansion of the North County Transit District (NCTD) bus transfer station. The first bus transfer station redesign approval (PP 24(E)) expired prior to NCTD constructing the new bus station therefore a subsequent Precise Plan Amendment was required. The proposed redesign was never realized and NCTD has recently applied for another Precise Plan Amendment to relocate the transfer station to another portion of the mall parking lot. In the late 1990's, Plaza Camino Real proposed a significant mall expansion to include a multi-screen movie theater, restaurants and PP 24(1) - PLAZA CAMlS REAL TEMPORARY PROMOTIONAL SALES EVENTS January 3, 2001 Page? additional mall stores. After only partial processing, both Precise Plan Amendments (PP 24(G) and PP 24(H)) were withdrawn by the applicant for private business reasons. The current Precise Plan Amendment (PP 24(1)) would allow the occasional use of approximately 4.4 acres of the mall parking area for temporary promotional sales events, such as custom car shows, computer shows and recreational vehicle shows. The existing mall parking lot, with its 6,378 parking spaces, has more than sufficient parking to accommodate the existing uses. As stated previously, the proposed area for the promotional events is rarely used for parking, even during high use periods such as the day after Thanksgiving and the remaining holiday season. The proposed occasional use of approximately 523 parking spaces for promotional events will not produce any adverse parking or circulation impacts. The proposed events are commercial in nature, which is consistent with the existing commercial uses of the mall. No landscaping or other features necessitate removal or relocation due to the proposed temporary events. Given the occasional and short-term nature of the events, the Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events proposal is consistent with the Precise Plan 24 for Plaza Camino Real. C. C-2 - General Commercial Zone (Chapter 21.28 Of the Zoning Ordinance) The Plaza Camino Real is zoned General Commercial (C-2) and is therefore subject to the provisions of Chapter 21.28 of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Since the proposed events are temporary in nature and require no building permits, the development standards of the C-2 zone are not readily applicable. Standards such as building height, front yard setbacks and the general placement of buildings do not apply to the proposed occasional temporary events. Services catering directly to the consumer are an allowed use in the C-2 zone. Section 21.28.020 of the Zoning Ordinance does require all commercial uses to be conducted wholly within a building, except for those uses commonly conducted in the open, such a gasoline stations and nurseries. By amending the applicable discretionary permit (Precise Plan 24), the applicant would be able to have temporary outdoor sales events within the mall parking area. Therefore, the Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events proposal is consistent with the General Commercial (C-2) zone. D. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance); The Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events proposal could generate short- term, occasional impacts on facilities such as circulation, public services, and public facilities. The impacts incurred from these events are not unlike those regulated through the Special Events Permit process. Despite the short-term nature of these non-residential uses, they are not specifically exempted from the Growth Management Ordinance (as listed in Section 21.90.030) therefore a Growth Management impact analysis is included in Table 3 below.

E. Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan. Plaza Camino Real lies within Zone 1 and is therefore subject to the performance standards and conditions of the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP). There are no special conditions in the zone plan that would apply to the proposed occasional temporary events. No building permits would be required for the events, therefore no Public Facilities Fee would be collected. The area proposed for the events is already paved, lighted, and has multiple points of access. No water or sewer needs would arise from the temporary events, therefore all facilities necessary to serve the proposed use are already in place. Therefore, the Plaza Camino Real Temporary Promotional Sales Events project is consistent with the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan. V.ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed temporary promotional sales events are short-term in nature and restricted to a maximum occurrence of three events per year. The proposed events involve the minor temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment, which qualify as a minor alteration of land that is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15304 of the State CEQA Guidelines. A Notice of Exemption will be filed upon final project determination. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4876 2. Location Map 3. Disclosure Statement 4.
