I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Design Review Board ADOPT Resolution No. 076 APPROVING Rp 86-13 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting a Minor Redevelopment Permit to remodel an existing structure at 2858 Carlsbad Boulevard. This building has been vacant for several months but has been used as a restaurant in previous years. The applicant proposes to remodel the interior and exterior of the building to allow for a more visually attractive structure at this site. The exterior remodel includes parapet walls that will provide a new roof elevation to screen existing heating and air conditioning units, replacement of a lathe electrical enclosure with an architecturally integrated storage area, and the remodel of an existing storage building. The applicant will also pave and stripe an unimproved parking area off of Grand Avenue. III. DISCUSSION The viability of restaurant projects in the Redevelopment Area inevitably rests upon the adequacy of the parking that the applicant is able to provide. Where a new restaurant or the expansion of an existing facility is planned the standard that is applied is the ordinance. Where no expansion occurs, the adequacy of the parking is not an issue. Review of the project reveals a net loss in area with the proposed remodels. The existing storage building to be removed has an area of 504 square feet. The storage area addition that will replace the lathe electrical enclosure has an area of 245 square feet. The total actual building coverage resulting from these changes will be 4,407 square feet. It should also be noted that the applicant will be providing an additional nine parking spaces on site. Total parking spaces provided will be 24. Staff believes this proposal to be a significant improvement to a somewhat dilapidated site. It is a step toward the further beautification of an important transitional structure between the Village Centre and the Carlsbad Boulevard corridor. The project is located in Subarea 5 of the Village Redevelopment Area. The goal of this subarea is to serve as the major tourist/tourist commercial related center for the Redevelopment Project Area. As such, the proposed remodel and use would be consistent with the goals and compatible with uses designated for this area. For all of these reasons staff supports approval of RP 86-13.
