ZC-198, "Q" OVERLAY ZONE TO BE APPLIED ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON
THE EAST SIDE OF EL CAMINO REAL, NORTH OF PALOMAR AIRPORT ROAD.
During the Planning Commission deliberations on ZC-198, it was noted that the
existing M zone on the subject property was not consistent with the General Plan,
nor was it consistent with existing property lines. Attached are the maps
showing these inconsistencies. The Planning Commission feels that these incon-
sistencies should be rectified.
Recognizing, however, the immediate need to place the Q Overlay Zone on the M
Zone property, they have recommended approval of the Q Overlay as proposed, but
suggest that the City Council direct the Planning Commission to study the poss-
ibility of general plan/zone and property line consistency.
The property lines generally follow the top of the ridge, the general plan also
follows the top of the ridge. Unfortunately when the property was originally
zoned it was zoned to the existing property lines which did not follow the
topography. Generally the M zoned property is relatively flat and separated by
a steep cliff thereby making a clear distinction between industrial and residential
lands.
The Planning Commission feels that the relatively flat upper portion should be
all industrial while the steeper hillside and properties to the north and east
should be in the residential zones, this will make compatible land uses as well
as consistency. If not done this way it may be possible to have some homes on the
plateau intermixed with industrial and have some industrial in the valley with
residential.
Another problem which staff noted was that the County Shredding and Refuse Transfer
Station was approved by a Conditional Use Permit but they have not yet taken out
building permits (they are presently discussing such permits with the building de-
partment). If the Q Zone becomes effective on the property prior to building
permits, the site development plan would be required unless the City Council made
provisions to the contrary. Therefore, staff is suggesting that if the City Council
approves this action that the resolution contain a finding that states to the
effect that site development plan processing will not be required for existing
buildings or buildings approved by a valid CUP.
Recommendation
It is recommended that:
1. The City Council direct the Planning Commission to study the possibility of
rezoning the area indicated on the general plan as industrial on the general
plan east of El Camino Real, north of Palomar Airport Road.
2. If the City Council approves ZC-198 that the resolution contain a finding
required for existing development on this property nor for any proposed
use to the effect that site development plan processing will not be required
for existing buildings or buildings approved by a valid CUP.

General Plan Information
The site is identified in the General Plan as Planned Industrial, and is within
a special treatment area., being part of the Palomar Airport Influence
Referral Area.
The proposed Q overlay will not alter the uses permitted by the existing "M''
zone which conforms with the planned industrial designation. The Q overlay,
by requiring a site development plan, gives the City discretionary capabilities
primarily in the area of design control. These additional regulations should
insure higher quality projects and closer attention to the special features of
this site, as identified in the Plan .
. 1
Environmental Impact Information
An Environmental Impact Assessment form has been prepared by staff, and
a Negative Declaration issued, based on the following findings:
1. The project is consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan, since the
property is identified as a Special Treatment Area.
2. The project presents additional regulations on development that will
further insure environmental protection.
3. The Q overlay will not effect the use of the subject property, but
instead directs itself primarily to site development design
considerations that should not have deleterious environmental impact.
Public Facilities
No additional demand will be placed on public facilities through the
application of the Q overlay zone.
Past History and Related Cases
As part of the City rezoning program for consistency with the General Plan, the
City previously considered the property located on the east side of El Camino Real,
north of Palomar Airport Road from the present ''M'' zone to the "P-H" zone.
During that process, City Council's attention was directed to the fact that many
properties being rezoned to P-M would not lend themselves to the P-M development
standards.
The matter was tabled by City Council in order to study the possible amendments
to the P-M zone. Staff feels that the current H zone does provide a broad land
use base for developments that do not lend themselves to planned industrial
concepts. However, little,in the way of development standards, is provided for
in the M zone. Therefore, in order to maintain a high level of development
standards in the area, staff suggests that a Q overlay zone be placed on the
subject M zoned property.
On January 25, 1978, the Planning Commission approved Resolution of Intention
No. 161, to hold a public hearing for this zone change.
ZC-158. Cal-Pacific Properties, Inc., Planning Commission Resolution No. 1175,
July 23, 1975; City Council Ordinance No. 9437, September 16, 1975
The Planning Commisssion and City Council approved a preannexational change of
zone from C-1 and RD-M to C-I-Q and RD-M-Q on property located at the northeast
corner of Alga Road and El Camino Real. The application of ,the "n" overlay
zone was deemed necessary to allow staff and Planning Commission site development
review at such time as development is proposed •

CUl'-140. Palomar Solid Waste Transfer Station, Resolution No. 5242.
The City Council granted an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision and
approved a Conditional Use Permit for a county operated solid waste shredder
and transfer station on property within the proposed Q overlay area. The CUP
was considered the proper mechanism for controlling the potential adverse impacts
of the shredder facility. However, this instance involved a single isolated
project, whereas, the proposed Q overlay will provide controls for a large area
eventually involving many diverse projects
Major Planning Considerations
1) Are additional regulations for development needed to supplement existing
zoning for any of the following reasons:
a) To insure compliance with the General Plan or any applicable
specific plans.
b) Provide that development will be compatible with surrounding
developments, both existing and proposed.
c) To insure that development occurs with due regard to
environmental factors.
d) To allow a property to be granted a particular zone where
some or all of the permitted uses would be appropriate
to the area only in certain cases with the addition of ~
specific conditions.
e) To provide for public improvements necessitated by
the development.
2) Does this property have unique circumstances that warrant the
additional regulations of the Q overlay?
DISCUSSION
Before applying the Q overlay zone, one should consider the intent, purpose,
and application of the Q overlay, along with the land area to which it is to
be applied. In general, the Q overlay zone is intended to provide the City
with additional control over development of areas within the zone. This is
to insure that development of property within the subject zone is compatible
with the site (particularly sensitive sites), surrounding developments, pro-
posed and existing, and the General Plan. For purposes of this discussion,
sensitive areas can be defined as hillsides, significant natural areas, areas
of high visibility, areas subject to natural or man made hazards and areas
which have the possibility of being occupied with potentially noxious uses
which could impact surrounding areas .
. 3
The land proposed for the Q overlay seems to fit this criteria. It is identified in
the General Plan as a sensitive area. The area's topography is relatively severe (hilly).
It is within the Palomar Airport impact area. It is highly visible from El Camino Real,
which is identified in the General Plan as being eligible for designation as a scenic
highway. Historically, the City has expressed concern over the appearance of development
along El Camino Real. Also, portions of the area are quite visible from an area now
being considered for large lot, single family development. The underlying zone of the
subject area is ''M'' (Industrial). Some of the uses allowed in the ''M'' zone have a
potential to impact surrounding areas because of odor, noise, heavy traffic and visual
impacts.
RECO~MENDATION
Staff recommends approval of ZC-198 based on the following findings:
1. The addition of the Qualified Overlay Zone to the requested M zone will assure,
through the site development plan approval process, that the following factors will
be considered prior to development:
a) The subject area is zoned M and is adjoined by large lot, single family
residential zoning and within the view shed of another area now in the process
of being planned for large lot, single family dwelling.
b) The subject area contains highly varied topography, large areas of native
vegetation, and some flood plain.
2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan because:
a) Application of the Q overlay zone is appropriate because the subject area is
identified as a "=pecial treatment area" in the General Plan.
b) The subject area is adjacent to El Camino Real, which is a major north-
south traffic corridor, and is listed in the General Plan as being eligible
for the designation of "scenic highway."
c) The General Plan identifies the area as being within the "Palomar Airport
Impact Area. ''
3. The proposed zone change complies with the requirements of the Carlsbad Environmental
Protection Ordinance of 1972 because a Negative Declaration has been issued for the
following reasons:
a) The project is consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan, since the property
is identified as a Special Treatment Area.
b) The project presents additional regulations on development that will further
insure environmental protection.
c) The Q overlay will not affect the use of the subject property, but instead
directs itself primarily to site development design considerations that should
not have deleterious environmental impact •

4. The proposed zone change is consistent with applicable City Public Facilities
Policies and Ordinances because:
a) No additional demand will be placed on public facilities through the
application of the Q overlay zone.

Resolution of Intention No. 161
Request for Q Overlay on property located on the east side
of El Camino Real north of Palomar Airport Road.
As part of the City rezoning program for consistency with the General Plan,
the City previously considered rezoning the property located on the east
side of El Camino Real north of Palomar Airport Road from the present M zone
to P-M zone. During that process City Council's attention was directed to
the fact that many properties being rezoned to P-M would not lend themselves
to the P-M development standards.
The matter was tabled by City Council in order to study the possible amendments
to the P-M zone. The staff feels that the current M zone does provide a broad
land use base for developments that do not lend themselves to planned industrial
concepts. However, little in the way of development standards are provided
for in the M zone, and, therefore, in order to maintain a high level of
development standards in the area, we feel a Q overlay zone should be placed
on the M zone.
This particular area was brought to our attention while discussing development
of approximately 25 acres of M zone land within the area. The County Shredder
and City yard have been proposed for portions of the land wherein full environ-
mental impact reports were required. How the property would be developed was
a major concern to abutting Beckman Industries and residential areas to the
north and east. Recently a proposal has come to staff requesting a grading
permit for over 300,000 square feet (25 acres) north of Beckman Industries
for industrial development and equipment storage yard. Since this property is
readily visible from El Camino Real and surrounding residential areas and
existing industrial developments, staff believes that a method to review
developments to maintain the high standards which have developed in the area
is required.

Resolution of Intention No. 161
Location Map, Exhibit "A", dated 12/30/77
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission admit Resolution of Intention
No. 161 to rezone the entire area that is presently zoned M as indicated on
the attached location map, marked Exhibit "A", to M-Q, (Industrial-Qualified).

DISCUSSION
Before applying the "Q" overlay zone, one should consider the intent, purpose,
and application of the "Q" overlay along with the land area to which it is
to be applied. In general, the "Q" overlay zone is intended to provide the
City with additional control of the development of areas within the zone.
This is to insure that development of property within the subject zone is
compatible with the site (particularly sensitive sites) surrounding developments,
proposed and existing, and the General Plan. For purposes of this discussion,
sensitive areas can be defined as hillsides, significant natural areas, areas
of high visibility, areas subject to natural or man made hazards and areas
which have the possibility of being occupied with potentially noxious uses
which could impact surrounding areas.
The land proposed for the "Q" overlay seems to fit this criteria. It is
identified in the General Plan as a sensitive area. The area topography
is relatively severe (hilly). It is within the Palomar Airport impact area.
It is highly visible from El Camino Real, which is identified in the General
Plan as being eligible for designation as a scenic highway. Historically,
the City has expressed concern over the appearance of development along El
Camino Real. Also, portions of the area are quite visible from an area
proposed for large lot, single family development. The underlying zone of
the subject area is zoned "M" (industrial) . Some of the uses in the "M" zone
_have a potential to impact surrounding areas because of odor, noise, heavy
traffic and visual impacts.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of ZC 198 based on the following findings:
1. Application of the "Q" overlay zone is appropriate because the subject
area is identified as a "special treatment area" in the General Plan.
2. The subject area is zoned "M" and is adjoined by large but single
family residential zoning and within the view shed of another area now
in the process of being planned for large lot single family zoning.
3. The subject area contains highly varied topography, large areas of
native vegetation, and some flood plain.
4. The subject area is adjacent to El Camino Real which is a major north-
south traffic corridor, and is listed in the General Plan as being
eligible for the designation of scenic highway.

The City of Carlsbad Planning Commission intends to conduct
a public hearing on March 22, 1978 to consider rezoning property
generally located on the east side of El Camino Real north
of Palomar Airport Road from M -Industrial Zone to M-Q
which includes the qualified development overlay zone.
The proposed hearing is at the request of the City of Carlsbad
since this property is readily visible from El Camino Real
and surrounding residential areas and existing industrial
developments. The City believes that a method to review
developments to maintain the high standards which have developed
in the area is required.
The public is invited to the Public Hearing which will be
held in the Council Chambers, 1200 Elm Avenue at 7:00 P.H.

SUBJECT: ZC-198 "Q" Overlay
Gentlemen:
I think the issue here involves really a moral and legal
principal; that being, is it fair for any government agency
to have the whimsical judicature that this .type of zoning
permits. It is zoning enough that the government can periodically
decide without the owner's consent what and how his property
may be used, but with this proposal, he is at the mercy of
the changing moods of a very few as they may feel on any
given day. This is like being in a football game where the
officials make and change the rules as the game proceeds.
It is the same here except here the property owner is gambling
with his life's earnings and savings.
No! We do not need that type of governing, but instead at
this time we need a stable government that lends stability
in our lives. The less variable the rules, the less chance
for corruption, etc., which we should guard against.
Therefore, let us firm up our zoning, etc., by doing our
homework well and establish zoning that is right whether the
name is Smith, Polaski, black or white.

The City of Carlsbad Planning Commission intends to conduct
a public hearing on March 22, 1978 to consider rezoning property
generally located on the east side of El Camino Real north ·
of Palomar Airport Road from M -Industrial Zone to M-Q
which includes the qualified development overlay zone.
The proposed hearing is at the request of the City of Carlsbad
since this property is readily visible from El Camino Real
and surrounding residential areas and existing industrial
developments. The City believes that a method to review
developments to maintain the high standards \·lhich have developed
in the area is required.
The public is invited t.o the Public Hearing which \dll be
held in the Council Chambers, 1200 Elm Avenue at 7:00 P.H.
on March 22, 1978. If you have any questions, please call
me in the Planning Department -719-1181, Extension 25.
