I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and ADOPT Resolution No. 2119, APPROVING CUP-227, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of a temporary bank with drive-thru facilities, located as described above. The project site is 6.85 acres in size, however, the majority of this area is encumbered by SDG&E easement traversing the property at its southern boundary. The project site has been previously graded and is depressed from Palomar Airport Road and Camino Vida Roble. Access is proposed from two driveways off Camino Vida Roble. The applicant proposes to utilize a combination of prefabricated modulars to accommodate banking operations until such time as a permanent facility is constructed. The project involves three requests requiring approval of a conditional use permit: 1. Banking facilities in the P-M zone. 2. Drive-thru facilities 3. Temporary use of a modular for commercial offices. Section 21.42.010 of the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance provides for use of temporary structures for commercial/office uses as follows: III. • I Temporary uses of trailers or mobile homes for commercial offices under the following conditions: (i) The occupancy shall not exceed one year after the issuance of the permit unless otherwise extended by the Planning Commission. The conditional use permit shall not be extended unless construction of the structure intended for occupancy by applicant has begun and reasonable progress toward completion is being made. (ii) The method of placement of the trailer, the landscaping and other design aspects shall be approved as part of the conditional use permit. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Is the overall site design and circulation layout acceptable? 2) Can the four findings, required for approval of a conditional use permit, be made? a) That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located; b) That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use; c) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained; d) That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use. Discussion The project site is located in the P-M (Planned Industrial) zone. This zone allows for services required for the convenience of the occupants of the zone when approved by conditional use permit. Staff feels development of a bank at this location, including temporary and drive-thru facilities, is consistent with this provision and a desirable addition for the development of the Palomar Airport Business Park. Staff also believes that the project is in harmony with the objectives of the General Plan. As a supporting service, the proposed use is consistent with the land use element of the general plan. • I The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use. Although the buildable portion of the lot is irregularly shaped, staff believes that adequate area exists to provide for the proposed facility. A portion of the SDG&E easement would be utilized for access purposes at the easterly driveway. The proposed setbacks and landscaping would adjust the requested use to other existing and permitted uses in the vicinity. The applicant proposes to treat the modulars architecturally with a stucco finish which staff anticipates to be compatible with other uses in the business park. An amendment to this conditional use permit will be required to accommodate the permanent facility. This will provide for additional review of the final site design and ensure compatibility with the business park. The project site is a corner parcel, bordered by Palomar Airport Road, a prime arterial, and Camino Vida Roble, an industrial collector. Staff believes that the surrounding street system is adequate to accommodate all traffic generated by the proposed use. Access to the site would be gained from two driveways on Camino Vida Roble. While the spacing between the two driveways does not meet the 300' spacing policy, the engineering staff does not anticipate any problems due to their locations. The easterly driveway would primarily serve the drive-thru facility while the west driveway would serve the main lot and building. A pass-thru lane has been designed to accommodate motorists entering the east driveway and not wishing to use the drive-up facilities. Adequate stacking room would be provided to serve the drive-thru. Fifty-six parking spaces would be available to the 3120 sq.ft. bank building. Staff believes that the onsite circulation is acceptable. Overall, staff believes that the requested use is essentially in harmony with the general plan, desirable for the development of the business park and would be compatible with existing and future permitted uses. Staff further believes that the site and adjoining street system are adequate to accommodate the use and that the site design and circulation layout are acceptable. IV.
