STAFF REPORT
DATE: DECEMBER 2, 1992
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
FROM: PLANNING/HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS
SUBJECT: RP 84-04-(A) -POLI.OS MARIA DRIVE-THRU -Request for an amendment
to an existing Redevelopment Permit (RP 84-04) to approve a drive-thru
window at the Polios Maria Restaurant located at 3055 Harding Street
within Sub-area 7 of the Village Redevelopment Zone in Local Facilities
Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Design Review Board ADOPT Design Review Board Resolution No. 200,
DENYING RP 84-04(A), based on the findings contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The existing restaurant use at 3055 Harding Street within Village Redevelopment Sub-area
7 was approved with RP 84-04. The 900 square foot restaurant required nine (9) parking
spaces. However, the project was approved with eight (8) spaces since a serious parking
shortage was not anticipated, as discussed in the project's staff report (attached with
approving resolution). The project was also approved, with a two way circulation that
connects Harding Street with the rear alley. The drive-thru proposal is shown on Exhibit
"A", dated December 2, 1992 and involves a parking lot and circulation redesign.
III. ANALYSIS
Project Issues
1. Is the project consistent with the goals, objectives and development standards of the
Village Design Manual, Sub-area 7 and the Zoning Ordinance?
2. Is project consistent with Engineering Department policies regarding drive-thrus?

DISCUSSION
The existing restaurant use is consistent with Village Design Manual and the
residential/commercial mixed use land use objectives of Sub-area 7. However, the
proposed drive-thru and related parking lot and circulation redesigns do not meet all
applicable regulations. The drive-thru as proposed does not conform to City standards and
Engineering Department policies. Consequently project circulation is negatively impacted.
Specifically, the following City standards (A-B) and Engineering Department Policies (C-E)
cannot be met:
A. The parking lot redesign with tandem parking does not function: The parking lot
involves tandem parking which is not allowed by the Zoning Ordinance for this
situation. Per Section 21.44.120 of the Zoning Ordinance, tandem parking is only
allowed in two cases: (1) for front yard parking in the Residential-Waterways (RW)
Zone, and (2) for front yard parking, with certain provisions, for existing
substandard frontage lots with a width of less than fifty feet. Parking space access
conflicts and unsafe pedestrian movements would be created by the proposal.
B. The handicap space would be blocked: The cars queuing and waiting in the drive-
thru line will block the handicap space. City standards require that a queuing area
be free of any conflicts from backing out of parking spaces.
C. No access from a public street: The proposal would convert the existing two-way
circulation that connects Harding Street to the rear alley into a one-way circulation
with access off the rear alley and an exit only onto Harding Street.
D. A minimum of 4 standard sized (20 ft. long) waiting cars cannot be accommodated
before the order box: The site plan, Exhibit "A", shows 4 cars before the order box,
however, they are bumper to bumper and have compact car dimensions. (16 ft.
long).
E. A minimum of 2 standard sized (20 ft. long) cars cannot be accommodated between
the order box and pick up window: The site plan shows 2 compact size (16 ft.
long) cars lined up bumper to bumper, indicating an inadequate amount of space
provided.
Based upon the above factors, staff does not support the proposal since parking lot and
pedestrian traffic congestion will be created by the project's redesign. The site is not large
enough to accommodate the drive-thru proposal.
Staff has reviewed the applicant's design alternatives that attempted to provide a drive-thru
window while complying with all applicable development standards and policies. However,
the site proved to be too small and constrained to accommodate a design that would meet
I I -RP 84-04(A) -POLLOS MARIA DRIVE THRU

all codes, standards and policies and get staffs recommendation of approval. Staff has
made the applicant aware of the project concerns regarding noncompliance with applicable
development standards and policies as reflected in the attached letters by the City dated
May 6, June 15 and August 3, 1992. Also attached is the Engineering Department review
of this project ( dated September 16, 1992). The applicant is also aware that staff cannot
support the proposal but requests that the matter be brought to the Design Review Board
for consideration. Staff recommends denial of the drive-thru request.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
As provided for in Section 15270 of CEQA, a public agency is not required to perform
environmental review on a project which is not approved.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Housing and Redevelopment Commission adopt Resolution No. 039,
APPROVING RP 84-4.
ITEM EXPLANATION
A public hearing for RP 84-4 was held by the Design Review Board
at their meeting of May 23, 1984. The applicant is requesting a
Redevelopment Permit to convert an existing residence to a
restaurant on the west side of Harding Street between Elm Avenue
and Oak Avenue. The subject property is .16 acres in size and
rears on an alley. Access to the site would be derived both from
Harding Street and the alley. There are currently two structures
on the lot. The applicant proposes to remove the building to the
rear of the property. The project is consistent with the encouraged
uses in sub-area seven of the Village Design Manual.
The Design Review Board voted to adopt Resolution No. 036,
recommending approval of a Redevelopment Permit for this proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action will result in no fiscal impact to the City.

TO: Design Review Board
FROM: Land Use Planning Office
SUBJECT: RP 84-4 -GASTELUM -Request for approval of a
Redevelopment Permit to convert a house to a restaurant
at 3055 Harding Street.
I• RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Design Review Board ADOPT Resolution
No. 036, recommending APPROVAL of RP 84-4, based on the findings
and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting approval of a Redevelopment Permit
to convert an existing residence to a restaurant on the west
side of Harding Street between Elm Avenue and Oak Avenue. The
subject property is .16 acres in size and rears on an alley.
Access to the site would be derived both from Harding Street and
the alley. There are currently two structures on the lot. The
building to the rear would be removed.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Is the project consistent with the goals and objectives of
the Village Design Manual?
2) Does the project conform with the development standards of
the Zoning Ordinance?
Discussion
The applicant is requesting approval of a Redevelopment Pemit to
convert an existing 690 square foot residence into a family
restaurant. The project would include new facade treatment, a
small building addition, driveway and alley improvements,
landscaping and construction of a parking lot.
The project site is within Subarea 7 of the Village
Redevelopment Area. The goal for Subarea 7 is to permit and
encourage mixed uses among residential and service
commercial/office uses. Staff believes that the proposed
project would be consistent with these goals. Further, bonafide
restaurants are specifically encouraged within the subarea.
The proposed project would conform to all development
requirements of the underlying R-P (Residential-Professional)
Zone. All required setbacks would be met, providing
compatibility of appearance with residential uses. A parking
lot, containing eight spaces, would be constructed to the rear of
the restaurant. The project would be one space short of
satisfying the required ratio of one space per 100 square feet of
gross floor area. Staff does not anticipate any serious parking
shortage or impacts to surrounding land uses. The project site
adjoins the parking lot for the Harding Street Community Center.
Overall, staff believes that the project is consistent with the
goals and objectives of the Village Design Manual and conforms
to the development standards of the underlying R-P Zone.
IV. ARCHITECTURE/DESIGN
The proposed conversion would include facade treatment to the
existing structure, landscaping and construction of a parking
lot. French doors and stucco finish would be added to the
building. A 30 inch high stucco wall would be constructed in
the front yard. An earth tone color scheme is planned,
featuring light beige stucco with light brown trim.
v. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project
is categorically exempt from Environmental Review per Section
19.04.070 of the Carlsbad Environmental Ordinance and,
therefore, issued a Notice of Exemption on May 7, 1984.

RE: DRIVE-UP WINDOW FOR POLLOS MARIA, 3055 HARDING STREET
Dear Mr. Winfield:
Thank you for contacting the City of Carlsbad Redevelopment
Agency regarding Pollos Maria's request to add a "drive up"
window to their existing restaurant facility at 3055 Harding
Street. The attached concept/proposal was reviewed by the
Redevelopment, Planning and Engineering Departments of the City
for compliance with currents standards.
city staff reviewing the proposal identified two major problems
with the drive-up window project. First, as discussed with you
previously, one of the strategies for the new proposed Master
Plan for the Village Redevelopment Area is to prohibit drive-up
and drive-through uses. Second, the City has drive-up window
standards which are required for all similar projects.
The drive-up window requirements are as follows:
1) There must be queue space for two to three cars between
"pick up" window and "order here" menu board or window.
2) There must be queue space for four to five cars behind
"order here" menu board or window. The "waiting cars" cannot
interfere with any circulation (i.e., alley traffic) or
parking space (incl. employee parking).
It is staff's opinion that there is simply not adequate space on
the Pollos Maria site to meet the above required standards in
order to add the desired drive-up window. Staff's recommendation,
therefore, is to deny addition of the drive-up window to the
existing restaurant facility.

RE: DRIVE-UP WINDOW FOR POLLOS MARIA, 3055 HARDING STREET
Dear Mr. Winfield:
As requested, the City of Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency asked the
Planning and Engineering Departments to review your most recent
proposal for a drive-up facility at the Pollos Maria Restaurant
located at 3055 Harding Street. The concept/proposal was reviewed
for compliance with currents standards.
As staff stated in previous telephone conversations and written
correspondence, the City has drive-up window standards which are
required for all similar projects.
The drive-up window requirements are as follows:
1) There must be queue space for two to three cars between "pick
up" window and "order here" menu board or window.
2) There must be queue space for four to five cars behind "order
here" menu board or window. The "waiting cars" cannot
interfere with any circulation (i.e., alley traffic) or
parking space (incl. employee parking).
Although you have attempted to provide a creative solution to the
problem, it is still staff's opinion that there is simply not
adequate space on the Pollos Maria site to meet the above required
standards in order to add the desired drive-up window. You may
pursue approval of the drive-up window by the Design Review Board.
However, please understand that Staff's recommendation will be to
deny addition of the drive-up window to the existing restaurant
facility.

RE: DRIVE-UP WINDOW FOR POLLOS MARIA, 3055 HARDING STREET
Dear Mr. Winfield:
Thank you for your patience as. the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency,
with assistance from the City Planning and Engineering
Departments, completed an additional review of your proposal for
a drive-up window at the Pollos Maria Restaurant located at 3055
Harding Street. The concept/proposal was reviewed for compliance
with current standards as well as general desirability for the
area.
According to the most recent plans submitted to my office, it
appears that your proposal may be able to comply with the City's
standards for "queue space" for drive-up windows. However, the
parking arrangement still presents a problem for staff. As stated
in previous letters to you from my office, the "waiting cars"
must not interfere with any circulation or parking spaces. Per
your current proposal, the handicap parking space will be blocked
by cars which may be waiting for service at the drive-up window.
Also, staff is not supportive of tandem parking at this location.
With tandem parking and a drive-up window, a very congested
situation is created on the property which is undesirable from
the City's perspective.
It appears from the proposed plans that the customer entrance to
the restaurant will continue to be off the patio on Harding
Street. If this is so, the customers will park in the rear and
then be required to walk past the drive-up window in the vehicle
traffic area to access the restaurant; this represents an
impediment to pedestrian circulation which concerns staff.
We are supportive of Pollos Maria's efforts to enhance their
2965 Roosevelt St., Suite B • Carlsbad, California 92008-2389 • (619) 434-2810/2811
business through addition of a drive-up window. However, it is
staff's professional opinion that the proposed drive-up window at
the noted location will create an undesirable situation through
1) the increase of on-site vehicle congestion; and 2) the
impediment to safe on-site pedestrian traffic.
We realize that staff's opinions regarding this proposal have
been very frustrating to you. Please understand that it is not
our goal to be difficult. We are simply trying to do what we
believe is best for the Village Redevelopment Area.
If you would like for the Design Review Board to consider the
addition of a drive-up window for Pollos Maria, please submit an
application for the required permits to the Community Development
Counter and pay the appropriate fees. You will be given the
opportunity to present your case to the Design Review Board for
their consideration. Please understand, however, that Staff's
recommendation has not changed; we intend to recommend denial of
the application based on the reasons outlined above.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter,
please contact my office at (619) 434-2811.
Sincerely,
~t~'

FROM:
ERIC MUNOZ
JIM DAVIS
VIA ASSIST ANT CITY ENGINEER -----,4'p+'
RP 84-4(A), POLLOS MARIA
We have completed our review of the project. We find that the application is technically
incomplete due to the lack of a preliminary title report. However, since we cannot support
the approval of the project we are recommending the application be found complete.
We are recommending that the project be denied because of the following:
1. THE EXIT-ONLY ACCESS WOULD ALSO BE THE ONLY ACCESS TO
HARDING STREET.
The only entrance to the site would be by the alley. Alleys are not intended to
function as the only entrance to a commercial site. Use of alleys as the only access
has been allowed in the Redevelopment Area before but not for fast food
restaurants. Traffic congestion could occur in the alley at lunch time. This entrance
would also be the drive through (take-out-order) aisle. Back-ups in this aisle would
occur and cause more congestion in the alley.
2. NOT ENOUGH SPACE WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR 4 TO 5 CARS TO
WAIT BEFORE THE ORDER BOX.
The site plan shows 4 cars in line before the order box, however the cars are all of
compact car length and lined up bumper touching bumper. There would not be
enough space for 4 compact cars to line up in a normal manner with a space between
cars. Some standard cars would also be in line. Therefore the site plan does not
provide adequate space for 4 to 5 cars.
3. NOT ENOUGH SPACE WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR 2 TO 3 CARS TO
WAIT BEFORE THE PICK-UP WINDOW.
The site plan shows 2 cars lined up before the pick-up window, however the cars are
all compact car length and are lined-up with bumper touching bumper. For the same
reasons in 2 above not enough space would be provided.
4. THE HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACE WOULD BE BLOCKED BY
INCOMING CARS.
The site plan shows the handicapped space with its only access being the drive
through aisle. When the aisle is occupied by cars waiting to order access to the
handicapped space would be effectively denied. Cars exiting from this space would
disrupt incoming traffic and could cause more congestion in the alley.
• •
5. THE PARKING LOT SHOWN WILL NOT FUNCTION IN AN ACCEPT ABLE
MANNER FOR 8 CARS.
The site plan shows 8 parking spaces, but only 4 spaces allow cars to enter and exit.
The other 4 spaces are end-to-end to the first 4 with no access. This is a tandem style
parking more suitable for storage rather than parking. When the 4 last mentioned
spaces are occupied no one will want to park behind the cars, therefore the lot
effectively functions as a 4 space lot.
