Letter dated February 18, 1960, from the San Diego County Planning Congress, requesting each member Comnission to submit copy for the 1960 issue of their "Date and Progress Reports", including the following: one copy of our "Data Reportck containing information included in and in the same form as the 1958 issue; one copy of our "Progress ReportEb for the calendar year 1959, containing highlights of a few of our major problems and accomplishments; a list of Commission members and officers and the name of our Planning Congress Director and Alternate as of March, 1960. The Commission directed the Secretary to send the requested information. Enclosed with the above letter was an invitation to a luncheon meeting of the Board of Directors of the San Diego County Planning Congress, to be held February 29th at the Mission Valley Inn, The Secretary pointed out that each year the Comnission selects a member to represent them on the San Diego County Planning Congress, and that one should be selected for this year. The Chairman deferred selecting a representative to later in the meeting under "New Business". Notice of hearing was read. The Secretary certified as to the publication of notice of hearing and the mailing of notices to property owners in the area. The Secretary then read Resolution of Intention No, P3 and stated that there was no written correspondence on this matter. The Secretary reviewed the matter, pointing out that when property is annexed to the City, it comes in under R-1 zoning unless other provision is made. This property is being used for agricultural purposes at the present time, A Committee of the Comission investigated it, and they recommended the change to R-A to conform to present use. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:45 PA After discussion, it was moved by Comnissioner Ward and seconded by Commissioner Zahler that Resolution No, 150 be adopted, recommending to the City Council that the property described in Resolution of fntention No, 13 be re-zoned from R-1 to RIA for the following reasons: 1. R-A zoning would permit land use comparable to its present use. 2. Not to re-zone the land would create a hardship for the property 3. There were no oral or written protests. Owners The Chairman asked for a roll call vote. AYES: Chairman Stringer, Coa~dssioners Zahler, Ward, Thomas, Miller and Jarvie. ABSENT: Commissioner Netka. Resolution No, 150 adopted. 6- Study Session: a. Commissioner Jarvie brought up the question of why Vista could not pump their sewer effluent to the back country for irrigation use by growers, rather than pumping it into Buena Vista Creek and more or less spoiling the area for future industrial development Donald Briggs, noted grower in the area, was present and he brought out the fact that there must be suitable back country to pump it to, and that some flowers.could not use the effluent for irrigation. b. Considerable discussion was given the matter of required improvements for re-zoning of property to R-3. The Secretary pointed out that there is no provision in Ordinance 9060 which requires alleys. The Subdivision Ordinance (9050) provides that where there is a subdivision of property which will be used for multiple-family purposes, alleys must be provided, It appears that the use of the land and subdivision of the land are following two separate categories. Regarding potential R-3 property, Ordinance 9060 states that there must be a precise plan accompanying the application for translating the potential zone from its present zone into the zone that is designated as a potential zone. However, it does not say what that plan must be. The Commission came to the conclusion that it should obtain some professional counselling on this matter, Therefore, Conmissioner Zahler moved, seconded by Cammissioner Jarvie that the Secretary contact Gordon Whitnall 6 Associates to obtain a professional opinion on the matter, All ayes, motion carried. " C. The question of whether the street name Mountain View Drive should be changed to Ocean Street was given consideration. The Commission felt that it should not be changed, since this would create two Ocean Streets running parallel with conflicting house numbers. They felt that the best solution for the present time was to move the street sign marked "Ocean Street" from the intersection of Carlsbad Blvd. and Mountain View to the intersection of Mountain View and Ocean Street. This matter can be taken up again at some future time when the Planning Commission considers the house numbering system throughout the City. By common consent of the Commission, the secretary was instructed to handle the matter of having the street sign moved. d. New Businesst (1) Chairman Stringer appointed Comnissioner Thomas as Carlsbad's repre- sentative to the San Diego Planning Congress for this year and Comnissioner Ward as alternate. By cmon consent of the Commission, they were both authorized to attend the luncheon meeting on February 29th; luncheon expenses will be taken care of. (2) Chairman Stringer brought up the matter of a cross street from Roosevelt to Madison between Grand and Laguna. The Conmission members all agreed that putting this cross street through would be of great benefit to the City. The Secretary stated that the Conmission could recmend that funds be allocated in the budget for acquisition of the necessary property for opening this street, when the budget request from the Commission is sub- mitted. They brought up the possibility of putting this under a 1911 Act. The Secretary was instructed to obtain as much infoxmation as possible on the project, and then it would be discussed at a later meeting in the light of all pertinent facts. e. Old Business: (1) A question was brought up regarding the progress of the Dinius and Koyl property. The Chairman stated he had been informed that Mr. Dinius has started 1911 Act proceedings and also has a re-zoning petition. He is asking for a re-zone of the Westerly portion only, to M zone, between the proposed street and the railroad right-of-way. It will be up to the Commission to either grant this re-zone on the Westerly portion or hold back until there is a plan for the Easterly portion also. 70 By proper motion, the meeting was adjourned at 9:15 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Secretary
