eo-i11ioner Joie expre11ed concern that there are no
provi1iona for RV parking.
Bill Hofman responded that the RV storage ia an optional
requirement that the Planning Coamiaeion or Council may
require. He added that becau1e of the no parking
re1triction1 on the project, Staff did not see the need to
require the RV storage area.
Chairman Farrow opened the public hearing at 7:12 P.H.,
and extended the invitation to speak.
The Coanission recogni%ed Mr. Joe Sandy, P. 0. Box 590,
Carlsbad, representing the applicant. Mr. Sandy gave some

no need for RV storage.

Carlsbad. Ms. Huff expressed concern regarding parking,

parking would be allowed in the project at all.
The Commission recogni%ed Mr. Nick Banche, 702 Fourth
Street, Oceanside, Attorney. With regard to the concerns
of RV storage, Mr. Banche ina~cated that the applicant
would be willing to list the City as an additional party

required percent of the residents, and the concurrence of
the City. He added that there ia no feasible way to
include RV storage on the lots, as it is %ero lot line.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, the

prior to final map approval .
3. The developer shall install sidewalks along all
public street frontages in conformance with City of

Mr. Hofman continued that the project is to be a custom
lot planned development, which is allowed under the
Planned Development Ordinance.
With regard to grading, Richard Allen indicated that the
addition of the conditions outlined by Staff will control
grading. He added that the grading and soil conditions
will be checked, prior to issuance of a grading permit.
The Ca-ission recognized Mrs. Alders, 2844 Cacatua,
Carlsbad. Mrs. Alders indicated that she lives above the
proposed project, and inquired who would be responsible
for any slippage.
Bill Hofman responded that that would be addressed in the
soils report, and there could not be a building permit
issued without that report. He added that if, in fact, it
is so unstable that it could not support the development,
the applicant could not build there .
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, the
public hearing was closed at 7:42 P.H.
Co-iasioner Schlehuber expressed concern regarding the
small size of the Homeowners Association to take care of
such a large area, since there are only four lots.
In response to Coam1ssion query regarding review of the
specific site plans for the lots, Michael Holzmiller
indicated that the project could be conditioned so that
the individual development would have to come back before
the Commission for review.
The Commission approved the Negative Declaration issued by
the Land Use Planning Manager, and directed Staff to
return Resolution No. 1994, approving CT 82-13/PUD-43,
based on the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein; with an additional condition requiring
Planning co ... ission review of the building designs, the

In re1ponae to request for clarification on the section
dealing with floor area ratio, Hr. Grim explained that it
requires two square feet of floor area to every one of
open •pace. He added that there would be twice aa aaich
floor area aa open apace.
Chairaan Farrow opened the public heari~g at 7:53 P.H.,
and extended the invitation to speak.
The Coaiiaaion recognized Hr. Rick Severson, Manager of
Palo-r Airport, 2198 Palomar A~rport Road, Carlsbad. Hr.
Severson indicated that Part 77 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations defines what types of objects would be a
hazard to navigation by applying side slopes to an airport
configuration on fixed ratios, and anything that
penetrates into those surfaces aa being a hazard. He
continued to respond to co-iaaion questions regarding
Part 77, and airport height.

Newport Beach, representing the Koll Company. Hr. Foley
gave some background on the matter, indicating that the
applicant is in concurrence with the statf report and
reco-endationa, to include the FAA Regulation. He
requested clarification on the 2:1 floor area ratio,
indicating that he has a different understanding than that
explained by Staff; that being the number of square feet
of floor area to the number of square feet of lot area,
rather than to open apace area.
Hr. Gri-indicated that Staff would have to check into
the definition of 2:1 floor area ratio, prior to the
project going to Council; however, he added that Hr.
Foley'• definition ia moat likely correct.
Discussion related to parking in relation to square
footage.
Hr. Gri-suggested that an alternative would be to drop
the reference to "office use," and then it would revert
back to whatever the parking standards were in the Zoning
Ordinance.
"r. Foley continued, indicating that there is no specific
proposal before the co-iaaion at this tiae; and with the
aid of wall exhibit• shoving typical 7 and 10 story

baaia.

the Koll Company. He responded to Co11111i1sion questions
regarding the longevity of the project at total build-
out.

Koll project.
Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, the
public hearing was closed at 8:30 P.H.

In reaponae to Conni11ion query regarding the status of
the improvement bond, Richard Allen explained that
originally, this project was one lot of a four lot minor
subdivision, which did not come before the Collllliseion, as
they are approved by the City Engineer, and it was
conditioned to construct improvements on Gloria Lane. He
indicated that since no houses were built at that time, it
was only a condition of the improvement agreement that it
be done within 18 months.
Mr. Allen cont i nued, that before the map was final,
improvement plan~ were submitted, approved and signed by
the City Engineer, bonds were posted, and an improvement
agreement was signed, guaranteeing that the street
improvements would be put in within 18 months . The 18
months is up September 10, 1982. He added that a month
ago Staff notified Hr. Gallagher, the original owner,
regarding hie responsibility for the improvements. The
bonding company has al10 been notified that the
improvements are not in, and the City will follow through
on the matter.
Mr. Allen concluded that the new owners who have assumed
the liability from Hr. Gallagher ar~ going to put the
improvements in. He added they have bide out to a
contractor, and Staff anticipates that construction will
1tart on the cul-de-sac within two to three weeks, and
be completed within 1ix weeks.
Colllllieeioner Schlehuber expressed concern regarding the
panhandle lots and lot lines, and stated his opinion that
this is not a good plan.

The Comission approved the Negative Declaration issued by
the Land Use Planning Manager, and adopted the following
Resolution, approving CT 82-19 based on the findings and
subject to the conditions contained therein; with the
add it ion of a condition req·_iring that improvements on

With regard to parking, Mr. Brown indicated that they
have had a problem at the rear of the site due to grading,
and they have not resolved same with Beckman Instruments.
Therefore, they are still working out the retaining wall,
and will IIOSt likely have to reduce the amount of parking
by six cars, which would bring them to the minimum
required of 267 spaces on-site.
The Co11111ission recognized Mr. Frank Finny, Helix
Engineering Service, 723 Santa Camelia Drive, Solana
Beach, representing the applicant. Mr. Finny referenced
Condition No. 3 of the Resolution regarding sewer
facilities, and indicated that they have submitted plans
for a pump station. He also expressed concern with the
wording "this note shall be placed on the final map."
Mr. Finny continued to request deletion of Condition No.
15 regarding the street name list, as the streets are
already named and dedicated.
With regard to Condition No. 23, Mr . Finny indicated that
they have had a grading permit for six months, and the
property has been graded.
Mr. Finny referenced Condition No. 28, and requested the
wording be revised to read, "Except for Paree l 13, no lot
in this subdivision may be further subdivided without
amending the Site Development Plan."
Mr. Denny concluded that the applicant is in agreement
with the staff report, and all other conditions of
approval.
With regard to the sewer note, the Assistant City Attorney
explained that i t is placed on the map as required by the
Zoning Ordir.anc~. With regard to Condition No. 28, he
indicated that the note regarding the further subdivision
should be placed "on the final PUD permit," rather than on
the subdivision map, which would eliminate that concern as
the two go hand in hand for this proj~ct.
Since no one else wished to address the matter, the public
hearing was closed at 9:39 P.H.
The co-ission adopted the following Resolution, approving
CT 81-45(A)/PUD-34(A), based on the findings and subject

Attorney:
