approval under a minor redevelopment permit.
2] No alcohol off-site sales, (on-site sales?)
3] Use of outdoor deck area/access.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 19, 1988
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
FROM: REDEVELOPMENT OFFICE
SUBJECT: BUSINESS LICENSE FOR THE VILLAGE EATERY, LOCATED AT
THE CARLSBAD INN (FORMERLY NORBY'S BAKERY).
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Design Review Board direct staff to return with
appropriate conditions to be added to the business license
application for the above-referenced eatery.
II. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The space that the Village Eatery occupies at the Carlsbad
Inn was originally approved as retail space, and was not
parked for restaurant uses. "Retail" uses may include
bakeries and take-out delis, which is basically what the
Village Eatery purports to be (see attached menu). However,
the use of sit-down tables has generated several complaints
about the "conversion" of an allowable retail use into an
unpermitted restaurant use. During a site inspection done by
planning staff, the facility did not appear to have
waiters/waitresses, which would qualify it as a restaurant.
However, there were at least 15 tables set up, inside and
outdoors, which is more than a deli typically provides or has
room for.
The concern that staff has is that a gradual conversion from
what began as a bakery, to something that how includes a
broader food menu (hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, pizza), will
continue expanding into a full restaurant use without proper
permits or conditons. The change from Norby's Bakery to the
Village Eatery technically could be considered a use change
requiring a minor redevelopment permit. However, staff
believes the business license, if properly conditioned, would
suffice.
The Board may want to consider the following types of
conditions:
Hours of operation
Number of tables
Use (or non-use) of the bar in the outside deck
area
Other ways in which the Board feels would retain
the use as retail, rather than restaurant.
