Request for an 80-unit tentative tract map and condominium permit to convert an existing apartment project to condominiums on the east side of El Camino Real, south of Swallow Lane in the RD-M (Q) zone. Mike Holzmiller gave the staff report, indicating that this item was continued from the Planning Commission meetings of March 25, 1981, and April 8, 1981. He continued that Staff was initially recommending denial of the project; however, since the original public hearing on the item, the applicant has been working with Staff, and has made numerous revisions to the plan, which has resulted in Staff changing the recommendation to approval. Mr. Holzmiller continued the staff report, essentially as contained in the Statement of the Matter; with Bill Hofman using wall exhibits to point out the revisions to the design criteria. He indicated that in addition to the revisions listed in the staff report, the applicant is also proposing to link the pedestrian system in the project with the trail system approved on his project to the east. Mr. Holzmiller also explained the revisions made, with regard to development standards, as contained in the staff report. He concluded by referring to the memo distributed to the Commission relating to revisions to Resolution No. 1787, explaining same, and indicating that Condition No. 5 should be deleted, as it requires the applicant pay school fees. :OblMISSIONERS ' NUTES PLANNING COMMISSION -- April 22, 1981 Page 2 Chairman Marcus opened the-public hearing at 7:17 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized Richard Harlow, 808 Adams Avenue, Huntington Beach; representing the applicant. Mr. Harlow explained they have worked with Staff to obtain the revised plan as presented at this meeting. He added they have also worked closely with the tenants of the project, in attempt to qualify them to purchase their units at the prices indicated. Mr. Harlow further stated his opinion that the‘ present plan does meet the.design criteria and standards of the City, and indicated that the applicant does agree with the modified Condition No. 19, as recommended by Staff. In response to Commission query regarding Condition No, 19, the Assistant City Attorney explained that Staff would not be enforcing the condition. He continued, referring to another project in which a similar condition was incorporated there were some difficulties with the Title Insurance Company, due to the fact that there was n0t.a definite termination date on it. The Title Insurance Company was hesitant to insure the title, until they could be convinced that there was a definite restriction, and a time limit given the nature of.that particular project, Commissioner L'Heureux inquired about the parking along the San Diego Gas &'Electric easement; and indicated his concern that there is nothing that would preclude them from revoking the easement. He stated that to his knowledge, one of the premises upon which Staff is seeking grounds of approval is due to the fact that there would be major parking in this easement, which if later revoked, causes concern as to the continued viability of the project. Mr. Harlow responded that they could not provide .any more insurance than that indicated in the letter. He explained that the legal counsel for Mola Development met with the legal counsel for San Diego Gas & Electric, as well as their staff people in attempt to firm the'situation; He stated that this is as far as they can go. Mr. Harlow pointed out that Mola Development owns-the land, and San Diego Gas & Electric has an easement over that right-of-way for the purpose of transmitting electrical energy for const'ructing particular facilities, and they can not arbitrarily withhold the use of the property from the land owner, as long as it is not interferring with their public charge. Mike Holzmiller indicated that if the use of the easement area for parking was ever revoked, there is an area to the north of Swallow Lane, which the applicant had originally proposed for recreational facilities. However, it was felt that they wou,ld not be very accessible to the units, and it was proposed to change them.over to the south of Swallow Lane and the applicant then proposed to put some of the required parking in the area to the north of Swallow Lane. Tt was pointed out that the parking then would not be accessible, and it was suggested to.landscape that area, and provide a nice entrance to the project. He concluded that if the parking was ever revoked, this area could be used for parking even though it is not the most convenient. The Commission recognized Bob Brady, 6905 #E Quail Place, Carlsbad, a-tenant of West Bluff. Mr. Brady indicated he has met with other tenants of the project, and pointed out that the petition provided the Commission, is indicative of the overall feeling of most of the tenants. DMMISSIONERS ’ PLANNING COMMISSION April 22, 1981 Page 3 Mr. Brady concluded that this was a unique opportunity for the tenants to buy in Carlsbad , and urged the acceptance of the application. The Commission recognized Celestal Brady, 6905 #E Quail Place, Carlsbad. Mrs. Brady urged the acceptance of the application, and expressed her opinion that the complex is far superior .to other condominium complexes she has visited. She continued that she does not find any dominance of any internal street system. She also indicated that it was a unique opportunity for people such as herself to enter the housing market, and be able to afford the financing. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing at 7:36 P.M. In response to query by Commissioner Farrow regarding ingress and egress into the cul-de-sac on the south side, particularly egress onto El Camino Real, where there is a median allowing egress to be northbound only; Richard Allen explained that originally when the project to the south was approved, it was intended that it be a public street, and there was a plan that this project would have a driveway access into the cul-de-sac. When the project came back for a redesign, it was believed by Staff that this project, being an apartment, would most likely not be able to be converted to condominiums, and therefore, it was not appropriated to have the apartment traffic going through the other condominium project. The applicant also wanted the street to be private, therefore, the project to the south has a private street, and is under a different ownership, which presents legal difficulties allowing this project access to cross the project to the south. Commissioner Jose expressed his feeling that this. was somewhat precedent setting in reference to the San Diego Gas and Electric easement, where the new parking area is. He further stated his opinion that apartments built as apartments should remain as apartments, and those to be converted in the future, should be built in accordance with the Condominium Ordinance. Commissioner Schlehuber indicated that he would only support a Resolution that would provide that each unit carry a CC&R for a price restriction of one year from the date of sale, so that there is no open end that can cause title problems. Commissioner L'Heureux stated he is in favor of the project; however, feels that the language in certain conditions is unclear. With regard to Condition No. 19, he stated his opinion that it is almost unenforceable, and does not think it possible to determine the price limitation under ' the condition as it is now written. The Commission adopted the following Resolution, recommending Marcus approval of CT 81-3/CP-149 to the City Council based on the L'Heureux findings contained therein; with a revision to Conditions Jose No. 3a, 8; and in Condition No. 19 putting a one year from Rombotis the date of sale on each unit, and a revision to Condition Farrow No. 25: Schlehuber RESOLUTION NO. 1787, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL FOR AN 80 UNIT TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF EL CAMINO REAL SOUTH OF SWALLOW LANE. APPLICANT: MOLA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. COMMISSIONERS \; PLANNING COMMISSION April 22, 1981 . Page 4 Mike Holzmiller indicated they had received a letter from the School District indicating that school facilities are available to serve the project. He also provided information, at the request of Commissioner L'Heureux, on the number of units that have been converted in the City of Carlsbad, and added that they might keep a running count of same in the future; and the vacancy rate. NEW PUBLIC HEARINGS: 2. CT 81-8/CP-151, WALTON. - Request for a 10 unit tentative tract map and condominium permit on property located on the‘west side of Santa Isabel, La Costa, in the RD-M zone. Commissioner L'Heureux requested disclosure information, as to who comprises the Limited.Partnership, known as American Views II. Bill Hofman responded that it was Staff's under- standing that the members listed are the partnership. Mr. Dave Walton also explained that he is a member of San Diego Land Corporatiqn, who is a General Partner, and this is their third project in. the area. %Ir. Walton added that there are also Limited Partners, one of which is Costa Ltd., and another is Reza Paydar. The Commission recognized Reza Paydar, who indicated there were five (5) other people, including himself, and three ($1 small investors who reside in California. He further offered to provide a list of these ,members to the Commission, and indicated who the Limited Partners are, Commissioner L'Heureux stated that based on the information, he would proceed with the item. With the aid of the overhead projector, Bill Hofman presented the staff report, essentially as contained in the Statement of the Matter. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 7:54 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized Dave Walton, of San Diego Land Corporation; who expressed the willingness to respond to any questions. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing at 7:56 P.M. Commissioner L'Heureux inquired regarding Condition No. 20, as to why fire retardant roofs were being required. The Assistant City Attorney responded that they are now a requirement of the Building Code for all new projects. In response to inquiry by Commissioner LIHeureux with regard to Condition No. 22, Bill Hofman indicated this condition is imposed on projects where the Fire Marshal feels it is necessary, as it gives them enforcement capabilities. The Commission approved the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and adopted the following Resolution, recommending approval of CT 81-8tCP-151 to the City Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein: RESOLUTION NO. 1799, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A 10 UNIT TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND CONDOMINIUM PERMIT ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SANTA ISABEL STREET. Marcus L'Heureux Jose Rombotis Farrow Schlehuber MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION April 22, 1981 Page 5 3. CUP-42(H), CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Request for approval of an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit to sell beer at the U.S. Gran Prix Motocross, at the Carlsbad Raceway, on the north side of Palomar Airport Road, west of Linda Vista Drive in the C-2 zone. Commissioner L'Heureux indicated that he is a Director of the Chamber of Commerce, and the City Attorney, under a written memorandum has determined that he has a conflict of interest on this item, and will therefore abstain from same. Commissioner Rombotis indicated he had received the same letter, and would also be abstaining on the matter. The staff report was presented by Bill Hofman, essentially as contained in the Statement of the Matter. With the aid of the overhead projector, he showed the location of the raceway and referred to the memorandum from the Chief of Police on the matter, dated April 8, 1981; indicating that Chief Jimno wished to address his concerns to the Commission. Chief Jimno explained that his memo calls attention to the liabilities and problems that the City would face involving any major sporting event, at which alcoholic beverages may or may not be available. He stated this is a unique situatio because of the City growing into an internationally known posture, due to the major sporting events held in the community. He continued that his position is to remind the City of the liability possibilities, policing problems that might arise, and some of the problems dealt with in the past. Chief Jimno indicated that in looking back to the past posture of the police department, there has .been a strong negative towards the serving of alcoholic beverages at this event. However, the City was smaller at that time, the crowds were similar in nature, and the problems were much mor difficult for a smaller staff to handle. Currently, the City is growing, and staff is able to handle more in these kinds of events. Chief Jimno stated the concerns he has are that the site is not necessarily conducive to easy access, in or out. With the increased use of alcoholic beverages, there will be traffic problems that will develop at the closing of the event, with people leaving in large masses. Secondly, any time there is an increase in use of alcoholic beverages, ther will be a greater hostility towards authority figures. Thirdly, there has been some experience with problems in the site during the event, but they have been limited in nature to present. However, they have found that most instances are caused by people who have had too much to drink, or are under the influence of narcotics. He continued that they have not been effectively able to enforce the restriction of alcoholic beverages prohibition, as people carry it in. He added that the Department is not able to control it, with a crowd of 20,000 people. He stated the Department has limited resources, and there is grave accessibility to the site, because it is not a stadium. Chief Jimno explained that people can only drink what they carry in, and it is more under control, because it is a limited amount. However, he is concerned as they will carry in cans and bottles, which can be used as w-eapons. He suggested that if we allow alcoholic beverages, that the City restrict cans and bottles, which would give some semblance of control. l \; :OPlMISSIONERS It!PNUTES PLANNING COMMISSION April 22, 1981 s Page 6 COMMISSIONERS Chief Jimno concluded that if the Planning Commission has a feeling that the City would like to present the event with the Chamber's request approved, the Police Department can live with it; however, it is going to cost some money. He pointed out 'that there would be liability for the Chamber if the event goes sour, and liability if someone gets injured. He stated that the minimal conditions he has placed, are rather restrictive for any sporting event. Chief Jimna indicated that if the Planning Commission and/or City Council is to present the event with an approval of the Chamber's request, he suggests the following: 1) That the Police Chief be given the authority to designate all booths for the dispensing of alcoholic beverages. 2) That the Police Chief be given the final authority as to how much manpower would be required to police the event. 3) That the Police Chief be given the final authority, which he already has by law but requests it be reaffirmed in the CUP, to close down any of the dispensing operations that do not comply with normal control. 4) That the promoters or concessionaires be required to reimburse the City for all costs involving police protection. 5) That an insurance policy or hold-harmless agreement be presented for the City's protection, should an incident occur in which liability is incurred, through injury or negligence. Chief Jimno indicated he had one other concern, and inquired if this would set precedent for other events to follow, and suggested this be directed towards the City's legal staff. Commissioner Schlehuber referred to the policy of San Diego Stadium, and inquired, regardless of what action is taken with the Chamber request, if there if some way.to tighten as people come through the gate, and inspect what is open. Chief Jimno responded that a stadium is designed for control, at the entrances and.exits, and they are equipped with adequate security forces. He continued that the raceway has temporary fences, access routes for motorhomes, and large equipment vans bringing the equipment in, and it is extremely difficult to restrict what is brought-in. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 8:18 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized Don Brown, Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce; who indicated the Chamber disagrees with the Staff recommendation, and urged approval of the amendment to the CUP. Mr. Brown referred to his letter of March 4, 1981, to the Planning Commission, stating the Chamber has Carlsbad's best interest at heart. He continued that the Chamber has a contract to do certain things for the City, and part of that contract is to promote its' natural assets, and its' potentia: as a place to visit, live, and work. Mr. Brown added that the.Chamber hopes to generate funds from the sale of the beer and soft.drinks for the-use_in the operations of the Chamber and for local service programs whicl benefit the entire community. PLANNING COMMISSION April 22, 1981 m Page 7 Mr. Brown explained that the Chamber fully intends to comply with all laws pertaining to the sale and distribution of beer. He pointed out that the Chamber has been around for a long time, and is not a fly-by-night organization. He stated the Chamber is prepared to work with the Chief of Police, and the Commission on any conditions they see fit to impose. If people knew there was going to be on-site sale of beer, most people would not carry it in, which would allow more control of the event. Further, Mr. Brown pointed out that it would lessen some of the consumption to and from the event. He assured the Commission that ABC would have their people present at the event, and the Chamber would have signs displayed requiring that identification be presented by those purchasing the beer. Mr. Brown continued that the Chamber will provide the necessary insurance coverage; and wish to do whatever is necessary to run the event smoothly, for the enjoyment of the spectators. He added that the Chamber has worked closely with the promoters, and have had their assurance of cooperation as well. ThesAssistant City Attorney inquired if the owner, who is the holder of the CUP on the whole project, as an amendment to the CUP, would be willing to write a letter indicating. his concurrence with the amendment. Mr, Brown indicated that the owner's signature appeared on the original application as property owner, not as applicant, and has been very encouraging to the Chamber; howe,ver, they would have to contact the owner on this. / Commissioner 3ose indicated that there was a correction to the staff report, in that it was 1967, not 1966, when the owner requested that beer be sold; and it was denied by the Commission then, and also in 1969. The Assistant City Attorney reiterated that if the Commission approves the application, and if it is also their desire to incorporate the Police Chief's suggestion that the promoter be responsible for the extra police force, that as a condition of approval, it be required that a letter of consent be submitted by the owner. Mr. Brown stated the Chamber fully agrees that there should be additional Carlsbad Police Officers on site for the event. In conclusion, Mr. Brown submitted a letter to the Commission, from Ken Chriss, Chairman of the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee, stating his favor of the Chamber proposal. The Commission then recognized Jerry Farrell, 3920 Holly Brae Lane, Carlsbad; President of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Farrell indicated that the Chamber initially has concern over this project; however, after analysis they had support from their 24-man Board of Directors, and from the over 500 person membership within the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Farrell added that the Chamber is dedicated to implement the project smoothly, and will work closely with the Police Chief to add any conditions he feels are important. He indicated they do not feel it is precedent setting, and it is a one time request for a non-profit organization. He conclud- ed by urging approval of the amendment to the CUP. MINUTES _ PLANNING COMMISSION April 22, 1981 Y Page 8 :OHMISSIONERS \; Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing at 8:42 P.M. Discussion.reflected the individual Commissioners' feelings of selling beer on-site, and concern was expressed over approving the CUP for a period of five years, and it was suggested that consideration be given for approval of the first year only. Bill Hofman responded that, as conditioned, the permit is for five years, and subject to yearly review by the Planning Director. If there were any problems, it would be brought back to a public hearing, where further conditions could be imposed, or the entire permit could be revoked. Mr. Hofman indicated that if the Commission decided to approve the CUP, the condition could be modified for a one year review by the Planning Commission, at a public hearing. Dan Hentschke, the Assistant City Attorney, indicated that in his opinion, the present condition, with regard to the one year review, is not an effective way to enforce the concerns that Commissioner Schlehuber expressed. He continued that the way to accomplish an adequate review, is to have the CUP terminate after one year, with a renewal provision; and he suggested amending Condition No. 11 to reflect same. The Police Chief had indicated he would prefer it be handled as suggested by the Attorney. Don Brown explained that there is a $500 filing fee per year, and that was the reason they applied for the five years, to save money on the one time filing fee. Bill Hofman indicated it could also be conditioned so that future fees would be waived. A motion was made adopting the following Resolution; with the Marcus modification to Condition No. 11, granting the Conditional L'Heureux use Permit for a period of one year, rather than five years; Jose and the addition of a condition that would state that the Rombotis Police Chief shall have final authority for the following Farrow items: Schlehuber a) The operation and locations of all dispensing b 1 C 1 Further I booths. The number of City police staff necessary to safely enforce the event. To close down any of the dispensing operations that do not comply with normal control. a modification to Condition No. 6; directing that the applicant shall pay for the full cost of providing police protection, including both salaries and benefits to the satisfaction of the Police Chief: RESOLUTION NO. 1801, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO SELL BEER AT THE U.S. GRAN PRIX MOTOCROSS, AT THE CARLSBAD RACEWAY ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PALOMAR AIRPORT ROAD WEST OF LINDA VISTA DRIVE. The motion failed due to lack of a majority. The Commission adopted the following Resolution, denying CUP-42(H), based on the findings contained therein: RESOLUTION NO. 1801, DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO SELL BEER AT THE U.S. GRAN PRIX MOTOCROSS, AT THE CARLSBAD RACEWAY, ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF . PALOMAR AIRPORT ROAD WEST OF LINDA VISTA DRIVE. Commissioners Marcus and Schlehuber voted for denial to allow the applicant the opportunity to appeal to the City Council.

Request for approval of a minor subdivision to create two lots, one of which is a panhandle lot, on the north side of Tamarack Avenue between Hibiscus Circle and Jefferson Street in the R-1-7500 zone. With the aid of wall exhibits to show the.proposed request, the staff report.was presented by Mike Holzmiller, essential11 as contained in the Statement of the Matter. He also pointed out that it was a discussion item. For clarification purposes, Mr. Holzmiller indicated that the map that was submitted does show the garage'as being extremely close, if not on the property 'line to parcel 1, and Staff is requiring as a condition of the minor subdivision that is approved by the City Engineer, that the garage be modified or relocated so that it meets all setback requirements, Commissioner Farrow inquired if it was feasible to put a dedicated street, or access through, and provide enough land area to separate the properties. The Planning Director responded that they are blocked in by development in that area; therefore, the idea of extending east or west in the area is precluded by previous development. The Commission adopted the following Resolution, approving MS-526, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein; with the addition of a Condition No. 8 in reference to the garage: RESOLUTION NO. 1798, APPROVING THE CREATION OF ONE PANHANDLE LOT AS PART OF A ,MINOR SUBDIVISION LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TAMARACK AVENUE BETWEEN HIBISCUS CIRCLE AND JEFFERSON STREET IN THE R-1-7500 ZONE.

Commissioner L'Heureux inquired if an internal procedure will be developed in order to keep track of these kinds of variances that are approved, so a record could be kept of what is being approved and what is being denied. The Planning Director responded that, as a matter of policy, they would be put on(an information basis to the Planning Commission. The Assistant City Attorney further indicated that there would have to be a mechanism for notifying the public of what the decisions are.
