These resolutions relate to the specific plan amendment for Carlsbad Plaza and to the Conditional Use Permit for the McDonald's restaurant on the same site. We are submitting this letter in accordance with the procedural information we were given by the Planning Department. If any additional information is required, please contact me at your earliest convenience. We would appreciate the scheduling of this item on the Council agenda at the earliest possible date.

In the approved Ordinance 9419 Condition No. 14 indicates that minor changes can be made by the Planning Director. The proposed Sambo's contains the same number of parking spaces and no increase in square footage than the commercial structure approved in the original Specific Plan although the building configuration and parking are different. My determination is that this minor change can be processed without returning the entire Specific Plan to the Planning Commission for the amendment review. It should, however, be noted that the building elevation of the proposed restaurant (Condition No. 26) would have to be submitted to the Planning Commission for consideration and comment prior to any development. The building elevation will be considered on the basis of its relationship to the Hispanic architecture required for the area. JCH:s MEMORANDUM November 15, 1977 TO: .Paul." Bussey, City Manager FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director SUBJECT: Sewer Allocation System - Carlsbad Plaza North - SP 146 The architect for Carlsbad Plaza (East side of El Camino Real between Haymar and Marron) has submitted the attached letter requesting to discuss a particular problem that is not clear in the sewer allocation system. The allocation system requires that all discretionary action be completed to apply for allocation rating. The subject shopping center has been approved by SP 146 and is over 60% completed. One site not complete is on the north side of the main entrance drive and El Camino Real. (McDonald Restaurant was denied). The SP shows the site as commercial building. The applicant has a tenant for the site, but the tenant does not wish the building configuration as shown on the approved SP and wishes an amendement to the SP to change the building configuration, landscape and parking layout. The overall on- site traffic pattern will remain basically the same. The question, therefore, is, Does the original approval suffice as meeting the intent of the sewer allocation program or does the amendment mean that discretionary action is not complete? The applicant suggests two alternatives for the City Council. One is to apply for sewer allocation subject to completion of the SP amendment. If seweri. and SP were granted, the building could be built. If neither are granted, the building cannot be built. If sewer were granted and the SP was continued any length of time or denied, the City would have granted sewer to a use that could not qualify under the terms of the allocation system. The applicant feels this amendment would be processed relatively easily since the proposal meets Staff's general ap- proval. This is true for the preliminary review, but the final decision is made by City Council at a Public Hearing. The second alternative suggested by the applicant is to consider the change minor and not require a SP amendment. Staff is not - 2 - prepared to discuss the change in the plan in detail, but would indicate that it is the key site >at this shopping center as it relates to traffic and visual appearance and therefore believe all but the most minor change should be made through SP amend- ment. The preliminary plans are in Staff's view major and re- quire SP amendment. The tenant is a restaurant which normally has greater sewer demands and traffic input than general retail. Since the SP only indicates "Commercial", a restaurant should be reviewed in more detail than a minor change. If application is made for amendment, the earliest it could be processed by the Planning Commission would be December 28 or possibly January 11. This would mean City Council action in late January. The sewer allocation system acceptance closes on November 28 with decision to be made the end of December. Therefore, sewer would have to be allocated prior to amendment decision. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City not accept application for sewer permit for a restaurant at Carlsbad Plaza because discretionary action cannot be completed prior to granting allocation. JCH:BP:nm Attachment MEMORANDUM November 5, 1977 TO: File FROM: James C. Hagaman SUBJECT: Proposed Marie Callender's Restaurant in the shopping center located south of Marron Road east of El Camino Real The Planning Commission has previously approved Resolution 1359 for the proposed shopping center on this site. It was indicated at the time of approval that a site was reviewed for a restaurant but no specific configuration or design of the building was available. The restaurant is a different shape than the commercial structure shown on the plans; however, it has less square footage and therefore in my opinion is not a significant variation from the intended proposal of the site plan approved by the Planning Commission. There was some redesign of parkingin the number and relocation of parking spaces which should in my opinion be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission for possible effects on the circulation patterns.

A question has developed regard- ing the processing of an application for the proposed Sambo's Restaurant. The Planning Director, Jim Hagaman, has recommended that we obtain clarification from the City Council at this even- ings meeting. He suggested that the item be considered under "Oral Communication" . The question relates to the processing of a Sewer Application Permit concurrent with the processing of an Amendment to the Specific Plan. Since the Amendment must be considered by the City Council and the Planning Commission, the time required would not allow us to complete the process prior to the November 28th deadline. There are a number of actions that the Council could take which would allow us to submit for a Sewer Allocation Permit. Since the proposed revision does not involve a Conditional Use Permit, the Council could permit us to apply for the Sewer Allocation Permit, subject to the completion of the Specific Plan Amendment process, if the Allocation were granted. Another approach would. be for the Council to indicate to the Planning Director that the requested change is minor and therefore exempt from the review process. MEMBERS AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE 440 UPAS STREET SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA 92103 PO BOX 33326 TEL 714 297 0131 Mr. Paul Bussey November 1, 1977 Page 2. Paul, as you know, we have been working with staff for several weeks, on an informal basis, to obtain their support for the development of this remaining building pad. Unfortunately, the • prolonged hearings on the proposed McDonald's prevented us from developing this area at an earlier date. The staff has indicated, however, that they are in favor of the proposed change and the layout meets with their general approval. Finally, unlike Carlsbad Plaza South, the development of this pad cannot be accomplished with septic tanks because of the soil conditions, the ground water level, and the proposed use. We are therefore dependent on the upcoming Sewer Allocation Program if we are to develop this area. We would appreciate a chance to discuss this situation with the City Council at this evenings meeting. Thank you for your con- tinued cooperation. Respectfully, \ , \ Ronald D. Roberts, AIA M RDR.-mlr cc: Jim Hagaman Bill Hughes gp 'PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE November 4, 1977 Mr. Paul Bussey City Manager City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Carlsbad, California 92008 Re: Project No. 75111 Carlsbad Plaza South Carlsbad, California Dear Paul: Earlier this week, Bill Hughes and I met with Jim Hagaman and Bud Plender of the Planning Department. As a result of that meeting, we are requesting your permission for the Planning Department to accept our revised site development plan and our tentative parcel map for processing. These two items are unre- lated and should be considered separately. The first item is for a revision to the existing site develop- ment plan in the area of Building No. 7, the.proposed restau- rant. We are currently negotiating with Marie Callender's restaurant and would like to revise the approved plan to re- flect their building layout. The net effect is a slight reduc- tion in total building area and a slight change in the parking layout. With your approval, the planning staff will accept the plan and attempt to have the Planning Commission review it prior to the November 28 sewer allocation permit deadline. Since this is a non-public hearing item, we are hopeful it can be processed promptly. Our second item is somewhat more complicated but fortunately our timing is not as critical. This item relates to our desire to file a parcel map which would divide the property into two par- cels. The proposed division would occur along the zoning line which separates the C-2 area from the R-P area. The processing of this map would allow us to resolve certain financing problems that we have with this development. Since we have an approved site development plan which includes the entire site, the proces- sing of this parcel map would not change our situation with re- spect to the sewer moritorium or the allocation program.

The building would be similar to that constructed at 745 Elm Avenue. As you know, KFC caters to the family take-home market and as a result does not generate the traffic as does other fast food chains.
