History and Related Cases
CUP-9. Resol'..1tion No. 138, on December 13, 1959, was approved by the Planning
Co:mnu.ssion to allow construction of an asphalt plant, office building, shop
building, and relative operations. No conditions were placed on this approval.
CUP-9 (Revision). Resolution No. 204, on April 11, 1961, was approved by the
Planning Connnission as an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit allowing
quarry operations, including two rock crushers and related equipment. Conditions
were applied to control dust, to provide potable water, and sanitary sewage
disposal. From staff's observation, dust control appears to be adequate. Sewer

is by septic systems and apparently meets the Cotmty Health Standards.
However, water was not provided to the satisfaction of the Fire ~farshall.
Water for the plant operation is from a well and surface drinking water
is bottled. The Fire Marshall has indicated that there is not sufficient
water on the site to control fires.
Following Plarming Conunission approval, the item was appealed to the City
Cotmcil by the neighboring property owners. The Cotmcil upheld the approval
but added several more conditions which included: No quarry operations
below creek level; a requirement to notice Tri-City Hospital before blasting,
and provide proof of liability insurance. The matter was referred back to the
Planning Conunission for concurrence, and then approved by Cotmcil on Jtme 6,
1961, Resolution No. 737.
CUP-9(A). Resolution No. 1429. On January 11, 1978, the Plarming Conunission
approved an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit allowing a temporary trailer
for use as an employee ltmchroom on the South Coast Asphalt property. Conditions
applied to location, use, and the temporary status of the ltmchroom trailer.
A final condition required the removal of a second mobile tmit operating on the
site. This other mobile tmi t is the Brown Trucking trailer, which was moved
to its present location, still on the South Coast Asphalt property.
Environmental Impact Information
The request for the temporary trailer meets the requirements of the Carlsbad
Environmental Protection Ordinance because a negative declaration has been
issued for the following reasons:
1) The project will not affect vegetation or wildlife, as the
area has been previously graded.
2) The trailer will be located at an existing trucking operation
and will have no significant visual impact on the area.
General Plan Information
The Land Use Element of the General Plan indicates residential low-medium
density (RIM). The area is also designated for special treatment as it is
used for rock and mineral extraction. The General Plan states that particular
care should be utilized when considering adjoining land uses that may be
incompatible with extraction operations.
Public Facilities
Public sewer and potable services do not exist at the site. Sewer to the
property is served by septic tank; water by well and bottled water. Brown
Trucking employees use lavatory facilities at the office of South Coast Asphalt.
These facilities, while on the site, are a considerable distance from the present
location of the Brown Trucking trailer, and not available to the employees
during all hours of operation.
Major Plarming Considerations
1. Will approval of a temporary trailer have any detrimental effects on
nearby properties, or cause a fire or safety problem?
.2
-----
2. Is the requested use in hannony with the various elements and objectives
of the General Plan?
3. Is the site for the intended use adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the use?
4. Are facilities adequate to service the site and the intended use?
