HomeMy WebLinkAboutZC 197; Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station; Zone Change (ZC)MEMORANDUM October 14, 1977 'ro: FROM: SUBJECT: Paul Bussey, City Manager James C. Hagaman, Planning Director ~ Zone Change ZC-197 From "OS" to "M" I have reviewed the County of San Diego's requested zone change and feel several additional points should be brought to your attention. The zone change request is for the entire 58 acres contained within the General Plan Amendment now being processed changing the "OS" (Open Space) to "G" (Government). The current development proposal however is to use only 21 acres in the southerly part of the parcel for a refuse shredder. The remaining 37 acres to the north are not committed at this point and essentially could be used for any industrial use permit in the "M" (Industrial) zone if approved. A concern of mine of such an action on the part of the City is that substantial effort has gone into mitigating any effects the proposed shredder would have on residential areas proposed east of the site. These efforts include noise standards, screening of the site, landscaping and hours of operation among others. It is my opinion that these controls should also be applied to the property north of the proposed shredder. If the property is zoned "M" at this time there would be no available mechanism in the City Codes to guarantee mitigation of possible effects the development would have on the residential areas to the east or north. Several possible solutions to this are available. One action would be not to zone the property north of the shredder at this time but hold it until an actual development is suggested and the City is assured that proper mitigation measures will be applied. Another method would be to zone the project to the P-M zone (Planned Industrial) which contains within it some development stand~rds. However, some of the concerns of exposure ofl this area to the residential ar.eas would still be apparent. A third possibility would be to zone the 37 acres at this time to "I-1-Q" which would require Planning Commission review of any proposed development in the area. This would essentially guarantee that the concerns expressed in the environmental impact report would be properly addressed. It is also entirely appropriate that the property have the "Q" overlay zone since it is. within a special treatment area of the General Plan which is one of the designated applications for the overlay zone. If the City Council concurs with my concerns on the 37 acres north of the proposed shredder, it would seem that any of the following actions would be appropriate: Do not change the current "OS" zone on the 37 acres north of the proposed shredder at this time. Change the 37 acres to the ''P-M" zone rather than the "M" zone. Place a "Q" overlay zone on the 37 acres which will allow Planning Commission review of any proposed development. It should be additionally noted that the Planning Commission has clearly indicated that it is their intent that the City Council make the final determination on the shredder. They recognize the County's time restraint for the proposed facility and indicated that the Planning Commission has thoroughly reviewed the matter and has set a list of conditions that would have been imposed had it been approved. The Planning Commission will concur with the determination of the City Council. JCH:s DATE: TO: FROM: RE: MEMORANDUM JUNE 22, 1977 PAUL BUSSEY, CITY MANAGER 1 BUD PLENDER, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR ACCEPTING APPLICATION FOR COUNTY SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION. The County Department of Sanitation is preparing applications for General Plan Amendment, Zone Change and Conditional Use Permit for a solid waste transfer station. The site of this station is east of El Camino Real and north of Palomar Airport Road immediately behind the Carlsbad Municipal Water District Office. Under paragraph seven of Ordinance 7048, the City Council may grant exceptions for projects for other agencies if the project is necessary and in t?e public interest. The land use and zone changes will allow the transfer station and future governmental uses such as the City yard. All uses presently proposed and those anticipated are necessary and in the public interest. Recommendation I recommend that the City Council find that .these applications from the county are necessary and are in the public interest, and therefore may be processed.

This station will provide for the milling, resource recovery, compacting; and transfer of municipal solid waste to County-operated landfills. The operation of the station and employees will generate approximately 1000 gallons per day of sewage. It is our understanding that a sewer moratorium is in effect in the City of Carlsbad. Until sewer capacity is available, transfer station sewage will be handled by a septic system. Because our proposed plant will not impact your sewer system, I recommend that you authorize acceptance of our permit and amendment applications.

' STAFF REPORT DATE: September 20, 1977 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Planning Department RE: ZC-197 APPLICANT: County of San Diego REQUEST: Approval of a Zone Change from 0-S to M SECTION I: RECOMMENDATIONS Zone Change 197: Staff recommends approval of ZC-197 based on the following findings: 1. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan because: a. The change would bring the zoning on the property into conformance with the General Plan Amendment which the Planning Commission recently recommended for approval. 2. The subject application has complied with the Carlsbad Environmental Protection Ordinance of 1972 because: a. An EIR has been prepared by the County and has been certified by the Board of Supervisors. b. The Planning Commission has, as a Responsible Agency under CEQA, considered the certified EIR for the project. 3. The proposed Zone Change is consistent with the applicable City Public Facilities Policies and Ordinances because: a. The project complies with the sewer allocation ordinance which allows capacity for government facilities. The county is also considering alternative disposal methods. b. Staff has received assurances from all other affected agencies that public facilities will be available to serve the property. .. ' SECTION I I: BACKGROUND Location and Description of Property: The site is a 230 acre lot located on the easterly side of El Camino Real between Sunny Creek Road and Palomar Airport Road. The majority of the site is in canyon and clear zone for the airport and will remain zoned 0-S. A 58 acre portion in the southwesterly portion is relatively flat and is the portion to be rezoned to M. All of the property is vacant, but the adjacent property to the west, is developed with industrial buildings and is zoned M. Existing Zoning: Subject Property: North: South: East: West: OS (Existing), M (Proposed) OS R-1-10,000 and OS OS M Existing General Plan: Subject Property: North: South: East: West: Land Use: Subject Property: North: South: East: West: OS (G OS PI, G, OS PI Vacant Vacant in process) and OS CMWD District Office Vacant Vacant and Beckman Instruments -2- ' ' Past History and Related Cases: The Planning Commission approved a General Plan Amendment for the project on August 24, 1977. The City Council will hear this amend- ment on September 20, 1977. Staff will report City Council action at the Planning Commission meeting on subject action. A companion item to this zone change is CUP 140 for a solid waste transfer station. Environmental Impact Information: The County has prepared and certified an EIR for the project. The County is the 11 Lead Agency 11 for the shredder project (i.e., the agency responsible for carrying out the project). The City is a 11 Responsible Agency 11 under State law, and must therefore consider the information contained within the Lead Agency's EIR prior to taking any action on the project. All mitigation measures which are Carlsbad's responsibilityrhave been recommended as conditions of approval to the Conditional Use Permit for the shredder. General Plan Information: At the time when the City approved the amended Land Use Element of the General Plan (October 1974), the County had no intended use for the subject property. The site is, in fact, a portion of a larger 230 acre parcel which was purchased by the County to provide an instrument landing system for Palomar Airport. Consequently, the City designated the airport approach area (58 acres) as G (Governmental Facility) and designated the remainder of the site (172 acres) as Open Space on the Land Use Map. The Planning Commission is considering the request that 58 acres of the open space area be designated G to allow for construction of the solid waste shredder and transfer station and a possible municipal corporation yard (central location for City police, water, utilities and maintenance services.} The property is within the Special Treatment designation for the Palomar Airport influence area. This special treatment designation indicates that, in addition to the underlying land use designation, special consideration should be given to the property due to the noise and safety impacts of Palomar Airport. The proposed shredder is compatible with the airport influence. According to the County, CPO (acting as the Airport Land Use Commission) has reviewed the project and has found that it conforms to the Palomar Airport Land Use Plan. The Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan shows the canyon east of the subject site as a part of the City-wide open space linkage. This area is proposed to remain in open space. The Parks and Recreation Element indicates a trail system through the area. A condition of approval of the Conditional Use Permit has ~een suggested to insure the construction of this tract. -3- ..., . •' c The Circulation Element indicates a major E-W street through the northerly portion of the 230 acre site. A condition of approval of the Conditional Use Permit requires the dedication of an easement for future road. PUBLIC FACILITIES: This application was accepted because the sewer moratorium ordinance 7048 provides for the acceptance of government facilities. However, there are no assurances that public sewer facilities will be available to serve any future uses proposed for the site. Water and other utilities are available to the site. The County ordinarily proposed that sewage generated by the use (on site restrooms only) was to be accommodated by a septic tank system. Percolation tests conducted by the County have shown that a septic system is not feasible, however. The County has presented the alternative of utilizing: 1) chemical toilets and a sump system for the washdown of equipment and recycling of water; 2) the cleaning of machinery by seepers and vacuum devices rather than by a water wash-down method, or 3) other such methods, such as evapotranspiration, that will avoid discharge of waste water. MAJOR PLANNING CONSIDERATION: Is the proposed zone change consistent with the General Plan? DISCUSSION The General Plan has been amended to "G" Government for this site. There is no zone specifically consistent with the "G" category. The General Plan indicates that government uses can go into any zone where the use is appropriate. In this industrial area, the appropriate zone is M and the County proposes an industrial type use. The abutting property to the north is presently zoned M. The rezone and the pro- posed uses all appear compatible with the area.

The County of San Diego has been involved for a number of months with the Water District in the development of the public water system that will serve the subject property for the construction of the Solid Waste Transfer Station as well as the proposed City of Carlsbad Corporation Yard. Currently the Water District is in the final stages of approval of the complete engineering drawings for the public water system so that there will be a complete loop from the Beckman Industrial Facility coming southerly to a connection with our district main line south of the District headquarters. 2. Accordingly, at such time all of the proposed construction is completed, the Water District will provide public water service to the entire parcel of land. In addition, however, there may be further requirements for water service as new uses are made of the county-owned property. We trust that these comments are of value in your overall appraisal of the subject application. Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions. cc: Carlsbad Municipal Water District JYK/1 b CM~~D 76-114 In Orange County, Santa Ana Very truly yours, f'ad'ij~~~ JackY.

Such a Zone Change will be in the interest of furtherance of Public welfare because the project will provide solid waste processing and transfer at a convenient location for North County res1dents and enhance present and future resource recovery efforts. Benet1ts of conven1ence, energy savings, and longer landfill lives will be realized. The permitted uses in this proposed reclassification will not be detrimental .in any way to surrounding properties because traffic, visual, noise, odor, debris and other adverse impacts will be mitigated to allowable levels. Normal operation will be consistent w1th manufacturing uses on adjacent properties. Adjacent Open Space will be protected from severe impact. Tn~ property in this application is more suitable for the proposed zone than the existing zone because topography of the site is· appropriate for light industrial uses, consistent with · adjoining zoning and impacts are minimal compared to the operatjons of Palomar Ajrport.
