Re: ZC-314/CUP-256
Dear Ms. Goggin:
This letter is in reference to the Negative Declaration issued
for the above-mentioned project by the City of Carlsbad. As I
mentioned in our telephone conversation, the City is sending a
copy of the Negative Declaration to your office because the site
is located within the coastal zone. A copy of this Negative
Declaration is also being sent to the California Coastal
Commission.
Per Section 15073 of the State Guidelines for CEQA, the City
requests that the review period for this project be reduced from
30 days to 21 days, which would allow this item to be heard at
the September 26, 1984, Planning Commission hearing. The
following paragraphs will give a brief description of the
project and the reason for the City's request for a shorter
review period.
This project consists of two parts, first a zone change from
L-C, Limited Control, a holding zone, to 0-S Open Space for
approximately 288 acres, the future Macario Canyon Park. An
Environmental Impact Report was certified for the development of
this park site in 1982, SCH 81010711.
The zone change to 0-S Open Space will allow the City of
Carlsbad's Police Department to apply for a Conditional Use
Permit for the construction of a firing range on a .88 acre site
within the park. The proposed firing range will be located in
an abandoned trailer park.
The City is requesting the reduction in the review period for a
number of reasons:
Ms. Christine Goggin
August 30, 1984
Page 2
1 ) The Carlsbad Police Department urgently needs this
facility, the facility they- are presently using is
totally inadequate for realistic firing techniques.
2) An Environmental Impact Report has previously been
prepared for this site discussing the environmental
impacts of the development of this site.
3) The site has been previously disturbed by development
and illegal target practice.
4) The site is over a mile from the nearest residential
development and surrounded by steep hillsides.
5) A representative from the Department of Fish and Game
has examined the location of the proposed firing range
and believes that it will not adversely impact the
adjacent riparian habitat.
6) The only reason this item is being sent to the State
Clearinghouse is because it is within the Coastal Zone.
I believe 'that these reasons justify a reduction of the review
period to 21 days for the proposed Zone Change and Conditional
Use Permit. If I can give you any further information regarding
this matter, please feel free to contact me. Your help in this
matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mike Howes

STAFF REPORT
DATE: September 26, 1984
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Land Use Planning Office
SUBJECT: ZC-314/CUP-256 - CITY OF CARLSBAD - Request for a zone
change from L-C to 0-S for 288 acres and a conditional
use permit for a Police Firing Range on an .88 acre site
within the 288 acres which comprise the future Macario
Canyon Park.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the
Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and
ADOPT Resolution No. 2354 recommending APPROVAL of ZC-314 and
Resolution No. 2355 APPROVING CUP-256 based on the findings and
subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As mentioned above, this is a two-part application. The first
portion is a zone change for 288 acres which comprise the portion
of the future Macario Canyon Park that is presently owned by the
City. The requested zone change would change the zoning from L-
C, Limited Control, to 0-S, Open Space. The rezone to 0-S would
bring the zoning of the property into conformance with the
General Plan and would allow the City of Carlsbad's Police
Department to apply for a Conditional Use Permit to build a
Police Firing Range. The L-C, Limited Control zone is a holding
zone which does not permit any conditional use permits.
The proposed firing range will be located in an abandoned
trailer park within the future Macario Canyon Park. This site
was chosen for safety reasons. The existing topography can be
incorporated into the design of the firing range to create a
suitable barrier. In addition, this site is oriented towards
steep hillsides to the south that will provide additional
barriers to any stray rounds. Construction of the proposed
firing range will require approximately 2000 cubic yards of
grading.
The surrounding property is vacant at the present time. The
property immediately to the north of the site is used for
agriculture, but as mentioned previously, the firing range is
oriented away from this area.
Representatives for the City of Carlsbad's Police Department
have informed staff that the firing range they are presently
using is inadequate for realistic firing practice.
III. ANALYSIS
Zone Change
1) Is the Proposed 0-S zone consistent with the OS General Plan
designation?
2) Is the proposed 0-S zone and the uses allowed within this
zone consistent with the surrounding zoning and land uses?
Conditional Use Permit
3) Can the four findings, required for approval of a
conditional use permit be made? Specifically:
a) That the requested use is necessary or desirable for
the development of the community/ is essentially in
harmony with the various elements and objectives of the
general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses
or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which
the proposed use is to be located?
b) That the site for the intended use is adequate in size
and shape to accommodate the use;
c) That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping,
and other features necessary to adjust the requested
use to existing or permitted future uses in the
neighborhood will be provided and maintained;
d) That the street system serving the proposed use is
adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by
the proposed use.
Discussion
The proposed zone change to 0-S is consistent with the subject
property's general plan designation of OS, Open Space. 0-S is
the implementing zone for property designated OS by the general
plan. The existing L-C, Limited Control zone was just a holding
zone to facilitate the annexation of this property into the City
of Carlsbad.
The proposed 0-S, Open Space, zone and the uses allowed within
it will be consistent with surrounding zoning and land uses.
This zoning will allow this area to be developed into a future
city park. This zoning will also allow the police department to
construct a firing range on a .88 acre site within this area.
The City of Carlsbad has already certified an Environmental
Impact Report and approved a plan for the development of this
area as a future city park.
-2-
Conditional Use Permit
The requested use is necessary for the safety of the City's
Police Department. As mentioned previously, the Police
Department lacks adequate facilities for realistic firing
practice. It is important for the department to have realistic
firing practice to enable them to react in a rapid, confident
manner when a real life situation occurs. The City Council
realizes the importance of this need and has already authorized
funds for the construction of this facility.
At this time, staff does not know the exact date of the
development of Macario Canyon Park. This permit will be
reviewed on a yearly basis to determine its compatibility with
other permitted uses within Macario Canyon Park as it is
developed. This range will only be used once or twice a month,
so there is a possibility that its use will not conflict with
future development within this area, however, that cannot be
determined at this time.
The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed use. Mounding, created by the
construction of an abandoned trailer park, will be incorporated
into the design of the firing range. In addition, the range
will be oriented towards a steep hillside which will act as a
further backstop.
The proposed firing range will be located over a mile from the
nearest existing residence and approximately a half mile from
future residential development.
This site can only be accessed via dirt roads at the present
time. These roads are adequate to provide access to this site
by regular vehicles except during heavy winter storms. This
should not create any problems for the Police Department as they
can schedule their practices around inclement weather.
In conclusion, staff believes that the proposed zone change is
compatible with the general plan and will not adversely affect
any of the adjacent properties. In addition, staff can make all
four of the findings necessary for the approval of a conditional
use permit. Therefore, staff recommends approval of ZC-314/CUP-
CUP-256.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project
will not have a significant impact on the environment and,
therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on August 30, 1984.
