V-234 - STANLEY PRAVER - Request for consideration of a variance to.increase.the maximum permitted encroachment into a required yard from 2 ft. to 6.5 ft., on property generally located northerly of and adjacent to Navarra Drive at the westerly most extension of Navarra Drive. .Associate Planner Williams gave.the staff report for this . request, pointing out maps illustrating the encroachment that. would occur if this Variance was granted. He stated it was the opinion of staff that the view of the adjacent property owner would not be impared and recommended approval. Public Hearing was opened and Mr. Nat Simon, 23 Greenview, Lots 53 and 54, spoke and stated he felt this Variance would cut off approximately 1000 ft. of view from his property. He stated when persons in that area buy lots, they are paying one half again the price of that lot in another area simply because of the view to the Country Club and Golf Course. Mr. Dick Bundy, Architect, .from San Diego firm of B.V.D. Architec spoke stating that the variance for 4-1/2 ft. indicates only a smal 1 balcony between drawings , and is not true to what the si tua is really going to do with a 4-1/2 ft. encroachment. Feels if this variance is granted, the rest of the property owners in the area would have a right to all request a variance to do the same thing. Mr.Richard Grabhorn of Toops Engineering, representing the applicant spoke and advised that he was in concurrence with the conditons required by staff, and stated he had a few slides he would like to save for a rebuttal. Mr. Grabhorn again spoke and stated that the original error in this project had started back with the contractor of the buil-ding. He 'presented several views of the proposed encroachme of the balconies, and again stressed his view that this would in no way block out the view of Mr. Simon or any of the other adjace property owners. Publ.ic Hearing was ,c.losed and Mr. Williams, Associate.Planner, stated' that there would be no'Management Resource. Permit adopted for this project, and there was no floodplain invollved. Commissioner Jose stated he did not feel this was a qualified Variance request because it does not indicate a -direct hardship and if approved, he felt the Conimission'would be setting a precedent . . Mr. Forman agreed with Mr. Jose, but stated he felt in the eyes of Mr. Simon, there is an encroachment in the view he+jll loose. He stated he didn't feel there was sufficient basis to grant this variance. ts di nt nt . MOTION: Ayes : Y on ! i i X i PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING .x '.

He did not feel the applicant should have to pay for an error that was :omitted by the developer. City Attorney V. Biondo was called lpon to review the guidelines for a Variance, as contained in the Municipal Code. ' &tion was made that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution IENYING Variance No. 234 on the basis it did not meet the ilariance criteria, would be detrimental to. the neighboring woperty by encroaching on their view, and was not sufficient lardship involved to warrant approval.

These matters have now been completed. Staff also stated the General Plan would permit 0-30 d.u/acre for this property, but no plan has been submitted. Mr. Dave Minnich of Minnich Real-ty, Carlsbad, spoke representing Mr. Stockton. He stated a 20 ft. easement had been deeded back to the owner of the property and no longer exists. He stated he had no idea how many units would be placed on this property as no plans had been completed, but the party who has purchased adjacent parcel and plans. to build, will have between 34 IG 36 units on the property.

She made a recommendation that a Policy No. 12 be adopted to establish design for this area. Two alternatives for zoning were discussed (1 ) 2 lots west of the fire station be zoned R-P, east of the Civic Center (Ellswort property RD-M) and (2) C-1 property west of the fire station a.nd Ellsworth property be zoned R-P. Planning Director pointed out that the City Council has never made a committment saying the present civic center would not be moved, and stated it was felt that the public investment that is presently here must be protected. He also stated it must be realized that some alternate site may be established in the coming years in, the southern part of the City as that will more than likely be where the largest concentration of. the population will be in the future. Commissioner Jose stated that when the present site for the civic center was selected, studies at that time stated this facility would be adequate until 1980-1990, with a projected population 'of 70,000 people.

ELLSWORTH : Report on City Council action on Appeal of Planning Commission decision on zone change, and request for adoption of a Specific Plan to allow development of a Financial and Professional complex, on property general ly located on the south side of Elm Avenue between Highland Drive and Pi0 Pico. Associate Planner Paul Williams presented the report for this request stating it was the feeling of Staff that a change of zone to C-1 would still be inappropriate and recommended that the Commission report to the Council the denial of C-1 is still recommended. He stated it was felt C-1 zoning would be injurous to the civic center neighborhood. It was felt the R-P designatio1 was appropriate. City Attorney V. Biondo advised the Commission that the problem with the application is that it is not consistent with the Genera' Plan at 3-7 units. He stated the City is under mandate to see that both (use and densities) are consistent'with General Plan. He also advised the Commission to keep in mind that only three Land Use Amendments per year were allowed. He felt the Commissiot should not concern themselves with the matter of the General Plan until the City Council adopts policy. He suggested the Commissiot deal with this matter on its merits, and when the matter reaches the Council then they can make recommendations to deal with the other problems. Motion was made that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the appeal be granted and the zoning remain as R-P instead of C-1, limited to the property shown on the visual aid. This motion did not pass, so a Minute Motion was made to consider this zone change after discussion of the Specific Plan. Public Hearing was opened and Mr. David Ellsworth,904 Vista Way, Oceanside addressed the Commission stating he was very anxious to have an affirmative decision on this matter tonight as he wished to move ahead with his project. He again reiterated the approval of the surrounding property owners. No one else in the.audience wished to speak for or against this specific plan. The Planning Commissioners held a brief discussiol on this matter, and again reviewed Staff's reasons for denial of same. The following motions were made: Motion was made to report back to the City Council that the Commission had made a motion to.the effect that they support the appeal with the provision that R-P zoning be used, and advise the Council the vote was 3-2, with one abstaining, and 2 other members were in favor of not upholding the Appeal at all.

Paul Williams advised the Commission that at this time no letter of agreement from the school district has been received, and it was recommended that this item either be continued to another meeting or be denied. Mr, Robert Miller, representing Cal Pac-ific Properties, spoke to the Commissioners regarding their school problems. He said since December, 1973 they have been trying to reach an agreement with the Encinitas and San Dieguito School Districts. He stated their intent is to develop second homes, and 12 have alr.ea been. sold to non-San Di ego County re.sidents, which he f.eel s . . strengthens their point of not contributing children wh.ich will have to be absorbed by the 2 school districts. He .feels ,the Council school policy is very strict in that it does not provide relief for a developer who will have "0" children in his project. He stated the C.C.& R's preclude having children over 1 week, or during sch.ool vacations. He requested a deviatibn-from the, Pol icy. i ! es '9 M A.

Commissioner L.ittle stated he felt the Commission should not set a precedent of making exceptions to the School Policy as it had been set up in good faith to help provide financial'assistance . to the school districts. Commissioner Jose asked if the' Commission couldn't accept .the t.entative map application and issue a report to the City Council stating that the Commission was in favor of this tentative map, even though he did not have an agreement with the schools. The other Commissioners did not favor this a.pproach. Commissioner Dominguez advised Mr. Miller he felt before the ' Commission went any further with this request, he should make an effort to address the City Council and ask their approval for an exemption from the school policy. Then, the matter can be acted upon by the Commission. Mr. Miller stated he has not even been able to get an impact letter, and will not be able to until he pays the required $7700. for the, schools. He stated he would like to take this matter before the City Council, and requested the Planning Commission continue the matter to their first meeting in February, 1974. Motion was made to Continue this tentative map request (CT 73-57), to the first meeting in February, 1974. """""""""""""".""""""""""""""""""- 6 (c) REQUEST FOR CONFIRMATION OF CONFORMANCE OF PROPOSED PALOMAR AIRPORT EXPENSION TO CITY OF CARLSBAD GENERAL PLAN. Planning Director Agatep presented the expansion request and stated that of the total 232 acre acquisition, 55 acres will be used for. clear zone instrumentation, and Mr. Agatep re- commended to the commission that they find the expansion of 55 acres to be in conformance with the General Plan of the City of Carlsbad, and the remaining 185 acres be assessed in the future land uses to be proposed, at which.time the City will take a second look at the remainder of the property. Commissioner Dominguez informed the Commission and audience that as he worked for the County of San Diego, and worked with the' Board of Supervisors, he was going to abstain from commenting and voting on this matter. Commissioner Wrench questioned if Staff had investigated the future needs the County of San Diego anticipated for the..total. property beyond the clear zone. Mr. Robert Gehert, Real Property Division, County of San Diego' addressed the Commission. He stated that of the total acquisition the 55 acres wou.ld be used for a Clear Zone, and at this time, there were no plans for the remainder of the acreage.

Cotinnissioner Casler inquired if this would be a requirements for Elm Avenue also, and the City Engineer rep1 ied that the developer is required to develop Elm Avenue on the total length of his property. Mr,. John Doug1 as of 647 Camino de las Maris , addressed 'the. Commission and explained the funding problems he is having at the present time. He stated it is their desire to improve 700 ft. of-Tamarack in the first development of 116 townhouse units and the balance of the full improvements will be included in the second tract of 171 townhouse units and 36 single family residences. Acting City Engineer, T. Fl'anagan, addressed the Commission statin if the project were to go in two phases, there would be a way to get an access road to El Camino Real - move about one million yards of dirt. If done in 2 stages, there would be two separate moves.of dirt going on. Mr. Flanagan also stated there is no assurance that this. development wi 11 be built, except that the developer says it wi 11 be done. If thi S developer did not do it, the next person who came into the .area tg develop under this Specific Plan would have to complete the improvements. Commissioner Wrench stated he is a bit bothered by this develop- nent and was wondering .if this was really a good place to bui Id this development. He said he felt reinforced in his concerns in the attitude of the lending institution toward the funding of this project. It was his feeling that the City might be left with part of the total development and would end up w-ith cul-de-sacs the City does not need. Mr. Douglas said it had been his experience that the front-end financing for projects is always the most difficult to get as the lender wants an assurance as to the rate of .sales, which is difficult to give. With no. further discussion, a Motion was made that the Planning * Commission recommend to the City Council that the request for an amendment to Cond-ition #13 on Tentative Map CT 73-8, be DENIED for justification shown in staff report.
