ZC-199, Jerry Bryan.- Mr. Don Rose presented the staff report on an application for zone - change from R-1-7500 to Residential Professional Qualified (R-P-Q). Mr. Rose further indicated that due to the fact that a Site Develop- ment Plan was to be considered at this meeting on the same property and in order to expedite matters, both ZC-199 and SDP-78-2 would be discussed and heard together. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:lO P.M. Speaking in favor: Mr. Jerry Bryan, owner of the subject property, indicated that he wishes to build an office building to house his photography studio as well as seven additional offices. He related that he would also like to reverse the building as indicated on his site plan to allow the two-story portion of the building to front either to the North or South. Under question by the Commission Mr. Bryan indicated that he would attempt to move the building presently existing on the property but that due to the age and size of the house he felt moving would be almost impractible. He further related that any signing of the property would be low-profile and concurrent with the theme of the proposed office building. Mr. Bud Plender indicated that the zone code indicates that there will not be any monument or free-standing signs allowed in said zone. Speaking in opposition: John Henninger, 1230 Stratford Lane, indicated his opinion that the proposed use would, indeed, be the least offensive for the proposed zone. He had certain reservations that a future two story building erected on the corner of Stratford and Pi0 Pic0 would create 4 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTP- September 13, 1978 Page Two (2) - a driveway cut and expanded parking on Stratford Lane. He noted that possibly included in the motion could be the clarification that any approval of ZC-199 or SDP-78-2 does not approve any future two story building on the site. Robert Cook, 1195 Stratford Lane, indicated no objections to the building proposed by Mr. Bryan, but had reservations as to the type of building, i.e. two-story, and the public access. In order to preserve his privacy he indicated the need for a high wall or screen between the property lines. He also indicated his opposition to any parking entrance onto Stratford Lane. Kay Cook, 1195 Stratford Lane, related concern over the increased traffic on Stratford Lane and as to whether or not the parking would be adequate and not necessitate an overflow onto Stratford Lane. Chairman Rombotis indicated that parking is determined by square footage of the structure and therefore the parking will be adequate. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:30 P.M. Staff indicated that should any future buildings be erected the traffic flow, pursuant to the Zone Code, would be generated from Pi0 Pic0 and not necessitate a curb cut onto Stratford Lane. It was further noted that any future building could be conditioned - upon public notice and hearing. A motion was made recommending approval of ZC-199 based upon the findings contained in the staff report dated September 13, 1978.

The Commission expressed concern over the intensity of uses by both the Historical Society and the Parks and Recreation Department and the resulting generation of traffic and parking facilities.

Roy Ward, 3088 Pi0 Pico, indicated that several interested persons have indicated their willingness to grade and gravel the area around the house for temporary parking facilities. Mr. Alan Kelly, P.O. Box 1065, related that he has been collecting several antiques relating to farming and suggests the additional use of the barn for the storage of said artificts, thus preserving the history of Carlsbad as a farming community.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTJ" September 13, 1978 Page Four (4) A general discussion among the Commissioners ensued wherein Commissioners Wrench and Schick indicated their reluctance to grant any form of occupancy for Magee House at this time. The genuine need of both the Parks and Recreation Department and the Historical Society was not in question, but rather if, in fact, by the granting of this CUP the City would lose control over the construction of public improvements. Commissioner Wrench indicated an unwillingness to approve any type of occupancy of the building prior to it being rendered "completely complete" and urged the City to move forward in the completion of the project. A motion was made approving CUP-l18(A) subject to the following conditions: 1. 2. 3. D. Magee House shall not be used for assembly type uses or purposes until the conditions of Planning Commission Resolution No. 1241 have been fulfilled.
