STAFF REPORT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 19, 1990
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: RP 90-2/CDP 90-1 - CARLSBAD HISTORICAL MUSEUM - Request for a
Redevelopment Pennit and Coastal Development Permit to relocate a single family
dwelling from 1101 Knowles Avenue to a site just east of Alt Karlsbad on
Christiansen Way in Sub-area 5 of the Village Redevelopment Area.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Design Review Board ADOPT Design Review Board Resolution Nos. 154 and 155
APPROVING RP 90-2 and CDP 90-1, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
IL PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The Carlsbad Bicentennial Historical Society is proposing to move an existing, historically significant
structure from its current site at 1101 Knowles Avenue to a new location on Christiansen Way. At
its new location, the house will function on a temporary basis, as a museum and office for the
society until a permanent structure is built.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1. Is the proposal consistent with the goals of the Redevelopment Plan as it implements the
General Plan?
2. Does the proposal comply with the land uses specified in the Village Design Manual for
Sub-area 5?
3. Does the proposal comply with the development standards for Sub-area 5?
4. Is the proposal consistent with the Local Coastal Program?
Discussion
The subject site is located in Sub-area 5 which has traditionally functioned as the major tourist-
serving commercial center in the Village Redevelopment Area. The implementing General Plan
document for this area, the Village Design Manual, states that the design concept for Sub-area 5
is to coordinate tourist, recreational and commercial activities of the beach area with the Village
Center. It says further that the Design Review Board will be concemed with preserving local
landmarks. Since the museum will serve tourism and preserve a local historic building, it complies
with the goals for the Redevelopment Area.

SEPTEMBER 19, 1990
PAGE 2
Permitted land uses in Sub-area 5 include those allowed in the C-1, C-2 and R-3 zones. A museum
is not specifically listed among the land uses permitted in those zones; however, the C-1 zone
allows institutions of a philanthropic nature. The proposed museum will be operated by the
Carlsbad Historic Society, a nonprofit orgamzation, and thus complies with this provision.
The proposed structure also complies with all development standards. A 10' frontyard setback has
been provided with sideyards of 10 and 7.4 feet. Parking spaces for museums are required at one
space for each 500 square feet of floor area. The proposed building with 714 square feet has
provided three parking spaces with access taken from Christiansen Way. Although the structure will
be placed on a permanent foundation, permanent facade improvements have not yet been
determined by the Historic Society. At this time the roof will be replaced, the siding repainted, and
shutters added at the windows.
The site is located within the boundaries of the Coastal Zone and must, therefore, comply with the
Local Coastal Program. The Local Coastal Program for the Village Redevelopment area is
implemented by the provisions of the Village Design Manual and Redevelopment Plan. Since the
proposal is consistent with those documents (as described above) it meets the requirements of the
Local Coastal Program.
