Mr. Holzmiller continued that it is Staffs' understanding that the applicant still objects to this condition, even as revised.
Regarding the issue of access to the Hieatt property, he
explained that it is Staffs' understanding that the applicant believes that better access can be provided to this property through the Signal Landmark property located to the south. Therefore, the applicant does not feel that the map should be revised at this time to show access to that property.
Commissioner Jose inquired if the issue regarding the relocation of the commercial area off Los Monos was resolved
between Staff and the applicant. Mr. Holzmiller responded
that it is Staff's understanding that the applicant has
agreed to go along with the Condition as proposed by Staff.
Co-Chairman Friestedt opened the public hearing at 7:08 P.M,
and extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized Bernie Fipp, principal of the Koll
Company, and a partner in the proposed Carlsbad Research
Center. Mr. Fipp indicated that the applicant is in agreement
with everything, with the exception. of the revision to Condition No. 12 of Resolution No. 1810.
Mr. Fipp cqntinued to explain that the applicant is not
sure that they can insure that the City and the airport will
not be held responsible for airport related noise impacts.
However, they are working with their attorney and the City Attorney on the matter, and feel it is more a legal question, and hope they will have it resolved by the time they go before the City Council.
With regard to the issue of access to the Hieatt property, Mr. Fipp indicated they are"bpposed to providing the Hieatt property access, unless Signal Landmark goes forward. Other- wise, the applicant would be required to provide access.
The Commission recognized Bob Ladwig, of Rick Engineering, 3088 Pio Pica Drive, Carlsbad. Mr. Ladwig passed around an aerial photograph which outlined the Hieatt and surrounding properties, and explained same. He explained that by not providing access through the Koll Company, they are not landlocking that piece of land.
Michael Holzmiller indicated that from an access standpoint,
Staff feels it is better to go through the Signal Landmark property; however, it is an unknown at this time.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Co-Chairman
Friestedt closed the public hearing at 7:16 P.M.
Discussion reflected the responsibility of the City in providing access, and an easement by necessity. The Commission indicated their desire to delete Condition No. 14 of Resolution No. 1810.
Mr. Holzmiller pointed out that the Commission's direction
to Staff at the last meeting was to take a look at access to
the Hieatt property, which is why same was addressed. He
explained that Staff feels the thing the applicant is
objecting to is the map being revised at this time to show
the access. However, the applicant does agree that from a
planning perspective, some access should be provided to the
Hieatt property.

PLANNING COMMISSION June 24, 1981 Page 3
With regard to the issue of Vernal Pools, Co-Chairman
Friestedt inquired as to the disposition of the request for a biologist to review the issue, or a recommendation address-
ing the significance of Vernal Pools. Michael Holzmiller
explained that due to the lack of knowledge, information,
and policy direction in the area of Vernal Pool protection, even if a biologist does a study of the issue, they will not indicate in writing that there would be no significant
impacts created by the development.
In response to Commission query regarding Condition No. 12 of Resolution No. 1810, the Assistant City Attorney indicated that his office is in concurrence with the modified condition, and supports Staff's position.
The Commission then discussed the noise issue, and-the
alternatives to same. Commissioner L'Heureux indicated his
opinion that the easement would be the appropriate vehicle to
address the situation. The Commission concurred.
Following discussion, the Commission approved the Negative
Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and adopted
the following Resolutions, recommending approval of SP-180(A)!
ZC-236 and CT 81-10, based on the findings and subject to
the conditions contained therein; with the modification of
Condition No. 12 of Resolution No. 1810, deleting the words "and the airport" from the end of the second sentence; and

* OFF AGENDA ITEM - REDEVELOPMENT PLAN - BOUNDARY CHANGE.
Jack Henthorn, Director of Housing and Redevelopment, gave a report on the matter; indicating that the City Council/ Housing and Redevelopment Commission conducted a joint Public Hearing to consider the proposed Village Redevelopment Plan on Tuesday, June 23, 1981. As a result of public testimony offered by property owners and residents along Ocean Blvd., it was determined that consideration should be given to the removal of this area from the Redevelopment Project Area.
Mr. Henthorn referred to his memo of June 24, 1981 to the
Planning Director, and suggested that in addition to the Stafi recommendation, the Commission also entertain a motion indicating that the removal of this area does not affect the overall project areas' conformity with the General Plan.
Mr. Henthorn added that the Council has continued the public hearing until the meeting of July 7, 1981, in order to solicit additional public comment.
The concensus of the Commission was that they were in agree- ment with Staff's recommendation.

Commissioner Jose requested that the record reflect that his negative vote was due to the facts he has stated in the past in reference to the General Plan Amendment; and the first
action on this property, of changing it from residential to
commercial.
Co-Chairman Friestedt directed Staff to initiate a review of
the existing parking requirements for commercial neighborhood and commercial professional, in the various zones; specifically to the requirements of so many spaces per square
foot, and report back to the Commission in the course of
two or three meetings, identifying the findings, and submit
recommendations.
3. ZC-237, NEVILLE. Request for a Zone Change from R-l to RDM-Q on approximately l/2 acre of land located between Oak Avenue and Pine Avenue, 1 lot east of Pio Pica Avenue.
With the aid of the overhead projector showing the location of the project, the staff report was presented by Bill Hofman,
essentially as contained in the written staff report.
Co-Chairman Friestedt opened the public hearing at 7:57 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized James Scanlon. 7306 Borla Place, C.arlsbad; the owner of one of the involved lots. He stated the applicant, Mr. Neville, was out of town, and has asked him to represent him. Mr. Scanlon stated his opinion that Staff has done a fine evaluation of this property, and
indicated he has asked for the zone change, as he feels the
area has outgrown the R-l zoning requirement. He concluded requesting approval of the zone change, and stated same would improve the appearance. of the area in question.
The Commission recognized James Mitchell, Attorney for Akira Muroya, who is also an applicant/owner. Mr. Mitchell indicated he concurred with Mr. Scanlon's comments. He also reiterated that the buffer zone would be the main reason for approving this application.
The Commission recognized Alan Miske, who indicated he was
the owner of lot #3, approximately four lots east of-the area
involved. He requested clarification of the proposed develop-
ment.
Co-Chairman Friestedt responded that this application. deals specifically with a zone change, and not a development, and is a land use question.
Mr. Miske also inquired if the zone change would interfere with the General Plan, and how far the zoning request would
extend up the block.
Bill Hofman explained that this particular property is
within the medium density, residential designation, which
allows 4 to 10 dwelling units per acre. With regard to the
precise boundaries, Mr. Hofman invited Mr. Miske to come
into the Planning Department for clarification purposes.
Mr. Hofman also indicated that the zone change is consistent
with the General Plan for that area.
Mr. Miske concluded that he is in favor of the rezoning, as the houses are old; however, only requests some consistency.

The Commission recognized..Randy Twombly, 1264 Pine, Carlsbad. He indicated he was in favor of the rezoning for the
applicants' property; however, expressed concern that one of the primary reasons for the zone change was the buffer zone,
and stated his opinion that this is not the proper reason
for the zone change.
The Commission recognized Gene Hargett, 1301 Pine Avenue,
Carlsbad; owner of lot $4. Mr. Hargett explained that in 1976 the Planning Commission held a hearing, and it was
determined at that time that nothing would be done, as they
were going to rezone the area at a future time. He added that he is in favor of rezoning, but requested it go to where the original Master Plan took it. He submitted a notice from the City to 'the property owners, dated September 10, 1976, for the record, along with a map showing the affected areas.
Co-Chairman Friestedt explained that the application process
for rezoning comes forward from the property owners, either
singularly or jointly. He also directed Staff to check on the matter, and report back to the Commission, but indicated that same would not affect this application.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Co-Chairman Friestedt closed the public hearing at 8:ll P.M.
Commissioner L'Heureux expressed concern about the traffic
circulation, and indicated he does not accept the statement
by the Traffic Engineer. He added that the parking on the street is extremely poor, there are no sidewalks, and the internal street system in the whole area is .totally inadequat He also indicated concern over starting a series of proposals to place larger volumes of people into the area, without a current upgrading'-of the major public facilities.
The Commission approved the Negative Declaration issued by
the Planning Director, and adopted the following Resolution, recommending approval of ZC-237 to the City Council based
on the findings and subject to the conditions contained in
the staff report:
RESOLUTION NO. 1823, APPROVING A ZONE CHANGE FROM R-1-7500 TO RDM-Q FOR 4 LOTS ON PROPERTY LOCATED BETWEEN OAR AVENUE AND PINE AVENUE, ONE LOT EAST OF PI0 PICO AVENUE. APPLICANT: NEVILLE.

With the aid of the overhead projector showing the location
of the project, Michael Holzmiller gave a report on the
matter, essentially as contained in the written staff report.
Mr. Holzmiller pointed out that even if the project could be brought up to meet the minimum standards, Staff does not feel that the project is one that would justify the maximum end of the density range.
Co-Chairman Friestedt opened the public hearing at 8:24 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak.

The Commission recognized Ken Chriss, 2979 State Street, Carlsbad; representing the applicant. Mr. Chriss indicated that they exceed the required minimum, and addressed the issue of the higher density.

He explained some of the recreational requirements, and the design of the project; and requested approval of same.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, the public
hearing was closed at 8:28 P.M.
Discussion reflected the individual Commissioners' feelings on the density issue, and the recreational requirements.

6. CUP-202, HOME SAVINGS & LOAN. Request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to construct a savings and loan office with a drive-thru facility on the northeast corner of Elm Avenue and Madison Street in the C-2 Zone.
With the aid of the overhead projector showing the location oi the project, Michael Holzmiller gave a report on the matter, essentially as contained in the written staff report.
Commissioner Jose inquired if the funding had been allocated
and finalized for the median to be installed at some future
date. Richard Allen responded that the funding had not yet been secured, and the project is under design with the consultant. He continued, should the Commission desire the developer to post a bond and enter into an improvement agreement for a median, a condition reflecting same could be added.
Commission discussion reflected concern over ingress and egress, and the potential stacking in the drive-thru lane. It was pointed out that La Jolla Bank and Trust also empties into the same alley, which would add to the congestion.
Commissioner Farrow suggested making it into a one-way alley, forcing traffic to come in from Madison, making an exit out of the alley.
The Commiss'ion then discussed alternatives to the ingress and egress situation, and access to the alley.
Co-Chairman Friestedt opened the public hearing at 9:Ol P.M.,
and extended the invitation to speak.
The Commission recognized Alan Seigel, representing the architectural firm of Pacific Architects, and Home Savings & Loan. Mr. Seigel agreed with Staff's suggestion that taking off the two existing driveways on Elm Avenue, and redirecting the traffic back onto Madison, would be helpful to the area,
and the situation.
Commissioner L'Heureux pointed out that Savings and Loans today are on the same level as banks, offering checking accounts and 24-hour tellers, and drive-thru facilities. He added that the old criteria that applied for Savings-and Loans may not now be totally valid; and in light of the new realities, they really, in fact, exist as a bank. Thus, increasing the customer flow, and adding to the traffic circulation in the area.
Mr. Seigel responded that the banking hours will be from
approximately 9 A.M. to 3 P.M., and indicated that in his
experience, the customer flow consisted of approximately
four at the most per day. He continued that in his opinion,
the site is excessive for this use, and they have contributed
quite a bit of it to landscaping, because of the Redevelopment
area. In a sense, he explained that the building is a
temporary building.
Co-Chairman Friestedt indicated his opinion that he did not
feel the Commission could come up with a workable solution
at this meeting, and suggested continuing the item, allowing the applicant to meet with Staff in attempt to re-address the access question, with some very specific guidance from the Commission.

Commissioner Farrow expressed concern over the use of only a 20 foot alley for ingress and egress into the bank and the drive-thru facility.
Discussion reflected alternatives for moving the drive-thru
facility to alleviate problems with stacking, and access to the site.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Co-Chairman
Friestedt closed the public hearing at 9:15 P.M.
Richard Allen explained that when the Engineering Department
first reviewed the project, their recommendation to the
Housing and Redevelopment agency was that they adopt a
policy to have no drive-thru facilities at all along Elm
Avenue. However,' they rejected the recommendation, and after
the Task,Force looked at the project, the net result was that
they felt the traffic problems associated with this
particular project were not serious enough to warrant being
strongly against it.
Mr. Allen continued that the.project has certain factors that help it, as it does not create a new access point onto Elm Avenue. He added that the additional traffic will create a minimal additional impact. He also pointed out that there will eventually be a median on Elm Avenue; therefore, the left turn will be restricted. If the alley ever gets congested to where people are having problems getting in and out, there is a natural flow, due to the design, going west- bound on Elm Avenue, around the corner to Madison to enter,
and exiting out the alley; which are all right turn move-
ments. This will cause any stacking to be in the parking lot
eliminating stacking in the alley.
Commissioner L'Heureux inquired if the entrance and exit on
the alley were an exit only; if this would alleviate some of the problem of people using the alley.
Richard Allen indicated he felt it would help the situation, and suggested posting a sign indicating "Exit Only;" realizing that some people may enter anyway, but it would be discouraging to mose people. He also pointed out that the alley improvements that the applicant will be required to put in will include a concrete valley gutter in the center, which
will delineate the two lanes.
Commissioner Schlehuber stated his opinion that a median
should be incorporated, and feels that the applicant should
pay a major portion of same. With regard to the alley, he
suggested installing a concrete strip, referring to a similar
set up in San Diego, in the alley, prohibiting cars from
driving in the alley; therefore, narrowing the alley at the
entrance, and leaving it wide enough for people to exit.
The Assistant City Attorney indicated that whenever you
close off public streets and redirect traffic, you have to
follow specific procedures outlined in the Streets and High-
ways Code; and this jurisdiction is given to the City
Council. He also pointed out that the alley serves the
public, and not just this applicant.
Michael Holzmiller stated he felt Commissioner L'Heureux's
suggestion for spiked access control was the most workable,
and feels that Staff could support same.
Following discussion, the concensus of the Commission was
that the applicant should be required to appropriately fund
a portion of the median, and that spiked access control to thl
alley access be required of the applicant.

Michael Holzmiller indicated that the applicant could sign
a future street agreement for the funding of the median.
Co-Chairman Friestedt again opened the public hearing at 9:36 P.M.
Alan Seigel addressed the Commission, and explained that between the applicant, the traffic department, and Staff, they have attempted to work out almost every alternative as far as the condition in the alley. Further, it was Staff's recommendation to go with what has been presented to the Commission at this meeting, and they feel this is the best
alternative. The public hearing was then closed.
The Commission ap,proved the Negative Declaration issued by
the Planning Director, and adopted the following Resolution, approving CUP-202, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein; and accepted the site as proposed, subject to the conditions of the median as
discussed earlier, the spiked control exits, and that it be
appropriately signed for right turns only onto Elm Avenue:

7. SDP 81-12, BANDEMER. Request for approval of a conversion of an existing single family residence to a
professional office located on the east side of.
Jefferson Street, between Laguna Drive and Home Avenue
in the R-P-Q Zone.
Due to a conflict of interest, Commissioner Schlehuber indicated that he would abstain from this item.
With the aid of the overhead projector showing the location of the project, Bill Hofman gave a report on the matter, essentially as contained in the written staff report,
Commissioner L'Heureux indicated he had concerns on the adequacy of parking, and does not feel that it is adequate.
He pointed out that at any one time, between the four
attorneys and two or three clerical personnel, along.with
two or three clients, you have ten people driving vehicles,
and only four parking spaces.
Bill Hofman responded that it is a potential problem;
however, they do meet the parking requirements.
The Planning Director explained that for the last three or
four years, one of the Departments' requests at budget time
has been the revision of the Zoning Ordinance, including the
parking. However, it is still a Council goal, but is not
funded.
The Assistant City Attorney indicated that the purpose of
the Q-overlay is to deal with specific projects that have
particular problems, and parking is one of the items listed in the Q-overlay. Therefore, he explained that the Commission can deal with the parking problem on this project, if so desired, without having to go through various Code Amendments
