SUBJECT: PRE 2026-0017 (DEV2026-0030)-CULVER BEER OUTDOOR PATIO
APN 209-081-39-02
Thank you for submitting a preliminary review application to discuss proposed options for an existing
brewery and indoor tasting room, permitted under Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 15-01, on property
located at 2719 Loker Avenue West, Suite D. The existing brewery 3,280-square-foot brewery, with a 650-
square-foot accessory tasting room, is located within a 4-unit airspace commercial condominium building
on a "postage stamp" lot in a six-building non-residential planned development. More specifically, the
preliminary review application is requesting guidance on the potential paths forward to retain the
unpermitted outdoor tasting patio at the rear of the property for the existing business/use, including the
following:
• Establishing a "bona fide eating establishment;" or
• Amending the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan to allow outdoor tasting for
a brewery and update CUP 15-01.
In response to your application, the Planning Division has prepared this comment letter. Please note that
the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with directions and comments on the overall
concept of your project. This preliminary review does not represent an in-depth analysis of your project.
It is intended to give you feedback on critical issues based upon the information provided in your
submittal. This review is based upon the plans, policies, and standards in effect as of the date of this
review. Please be aware that at the time of a formal application submittal, new plans, policies, and
standards may be in effect and additional issues of concern may be raised through a more specific and
detailed review.
Planning:

b. Zoning: Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone
c. Specific Plan: Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan {SP 200(8))
2. The project requires the following permits:
Option 1: To convert the establishment into a "bona fide eating establishment" and allow outdoor
dining as an accessory use, the project will require the following permits:
a. Minor Conditional Use Permit. In the P-M zone, a restaurant (bona fide public eating
establishment) requires approval of a Minor CUP.
b. Minor Site Development Plan (SDP). Development in the P-M Zone requires the approval of a
Minor SDP in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code {CMC) Section 21.34.050.
Decision-making Authority: City Planner is the decision-making authority for the above entitlements
under Option 1. The permit would be appealable to the Planning Commission.
Option 2: To continue operating as a brewery and propose onsite outdoor consumption of alcohol:
a. Specific Plan Amendment. An amendment to the Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific
Plan is required to allow outdoor beer tasting and/or to allow beer tasting areas to exceed
20% of the total floor area.
b. Minor Site Development Plan. Development in the P-M Zone requires the approval of a Minor
SDP in accordance with CMC Section 21.34.050.
c. Conditional Use Permit Amendment. To allow outdoor consumption of alcohol, an
amendment to CUP 15-01, Condition No. 14, is required.
Decision-making Authority: City Council will be the decision-making authority for the above
entitlements under Option 2 due to Specific Plan Amendments requiring City Council approval.
3. Project Background. The property at 2719 Loker Avenue West is zoned P-M and is located within SP
200(8). It is part of a seven-lot subdivision approved in 2004, which includes six developed lots and
one shared common area for landscaping and parking. The building on Lot 3 was further subdivided
into four condominium units in 2006.
CUP 15-01 was approved by City Council allowing a 3,280-square-foot brewery and tasting room {Suite
D) inside an existing building. The permit limited on-site alcohol consumption to 650 sq. ft. {19% of
the allowed 20%), prohibited outdoor alcohol consumption, and set operating hours. A link to CUP
15-01 is included below.

In 2017, a deli was added under a building permit. That same year, an amendment to CUP 15-01 was
approved by the Planning Commission, AMEND 2017-0023, to extend operating hours from 11:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily and to allow outdoor alcohol consumption during approved special events.
Staff recommends reviewing the meeting minutes of both the 2015 Planning Commission and City
Council Hearings for the public comments of those meetings. The CUP Amendment and minutes are
included below.

Like many other businesses during COVID, Culver Brewery made use of industry-specific relief
programs, and the city permitted temporary outdoor operations in line with pandemic protocols.
Once the pandemic ended, the city required that these temporary outdoor dining areas to be either
removed or transitioned into permanent, year-round outdoor dining. In the case of Culver Brewery,
the outdoor patio area needed to be removed pursuant to the P-M Zone, CMC Chapter 21.34, which
only allows for outdoor dining and the sale of beer, wine, or distilled spirits for onsite consumption as
incidental to restaurants meeting the definition of "bona fide public eating establishment" in CMC
Section 21.04.056. CMC Section 21.34.020 strictly prohibits outdoor tasting areas for breweries.
Moreover, the outdoor tasting area is in a location that encroaches into a travel lane which creates a
potential hazard to motorists, pedestrians, and business patrons.
Due to the operation of the prohibited use, in October of 2025, the city issued a code violation,
CC2025-0775 . This violation was for the construction of a permanent structure in the rear parking
area of the building. The corrective action was to remove the structure or obtain all required permits
and move the outdoor tasting area to an alternate location, likely in front of the building.
As requested in the preliminary review application, staff is providing the applicant with options for
allowing the outdoor tasting area use, although it must be moved to another location. Essentially,
there are three options. Option one is converting the brewery establishment into a "bona fide eating
establishment." Option number two is to amend the rules that regulate the use of the property (SP
200{8)) to allow outdoor tasting. The third option, which is not addressed in this comment letter, is
to remain as a brewery and remove the outdoor tasting patio structure thereby correcting the
violation through abatement/discontinuance. This preliminary review will address the first two
options.
4. Patio Options. The two options for preliminary review are based on Code Enforcement
documentation and complexity of the project. The following approaches are not exclusive but help
summarize two ways to keep some form of outdoor patio use.
Option 1: Converting the establishment into a "bona fide eating establishment" and allowing outdoor
dining as an accessory use.
a. In the PM zone, a "bona fide public eating establishment" is defined by CMC Section 21.04.056
and requires approval of a Minor CUP. This permit would also be necessary to allow for
incidental outdoor dining pursuant to CMC Section 21.26.013. The main use would be a

restaurant, with the brewery as a secondary use. This would permit outdoor dining as long as
the conditions below are met.
i. To be considered a "bona fide eating establishment" and have outdoor dining as
an accessory use, certain requirements pursuant to CMC Section 21.04.056 would
have to be met. A link to these requirements is included below.
Bona Fide Public Eating Establishment
ii. Outdoor dining (incidental) may be established as part of any business that serves
food and/or beverages for onsite consumption. All areas providing outdoor dining
(incidental) shall comply with the following development standards found in CMC
Section 21.26.013 and meet the definition of outdoor dining (incidental), both
linked below.
CMC Section 21.26 .013
Outdoor Dining (incidental)
b. Converting the brewery to a restaurant use with the above permits would allow accessory
outdoor patio use but would not address where outdoor patio uses could be located. The
outdoor patio encroaches into a travel lane in an alley, so it would have to be relocated to
a new location. The maximum size allowed for outdoor dining incidental to a restaurant is
400 square feet. Parking calculations would be required for both the internal spaces and any
external spaces above 400 square feet at a rate of 1 space per 100 square feet of gross floor
area for restaurants under 4,000 square feet, and for restaurants 4,000 square feet or greater,
40 parking spaces are required plus 1 space per 50 square feet of gross floor area in excess of
4,000 square feet.
Option 2: Continuing to operate as a brewery and propose outdoor consumption of alcohol.
a. Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan. Breweries are allowed by a Conditional Use
Permit and may have up to 20% of the floor area or 2,000 square feet designated for tasting
rooms (consumption area). Zoning precludes onsite outdoor consumption and retail sales.
Amending the Specific Plan to·allow outdoor beer tasting and/or to allow beer tasting areas
to exceed 20% of the total floor area would supersede the zoning prohibition on outdoor
consumption.
b. CUP 15-01. The original approval for the brewery, CUP 15-01 -Palomar Brewing Company,
approved by Planning Commission Resolution No. 7100, dated May 20, 2015, includes
Condition No. 14 which prohibits the consumption of alcohol outdoors at all times. Therefore,
this condition will need to be amended to allow for outdoor alcohol consumption through a
formal Specific Plan Amendment application.
c. Patio Location. Similar to Option 1, amending SP 200(8) would not prevent the outdoor patio
from being removed from its current location; it will need to be relocated to a more suitable
area within the business park . As it is currently located, the outdoor patio encroaches into a

travel lane, which creates a hazardous condition for motorists and patrons of your business.
Additionally,
d. Tasting Area Size. Modifying the Specific Plan to include an outdoor tasting room by
itself would not increase the allowable tasting room percentage. To accommodate this
change, either the interior tasting room space would need to be reduced, the overall
permitted tasting room space would need to be increased, or a special exception could be
added to any specific plan to exclude up to 400 squares feet of outdoor patio from the floor
area calculation.
5. Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan. The proposed project is located within SP 200{8). The
permitted uses and development standards of the underlying P-M Zone shall apply unless
otherwise stated within SP 200{8). A link to the Specific Plan is included below.
Carlsbad Airport Business Center Specific Plan
According to Note 3 of the P-M Zone Permitted Uses Table, brewery tasting rooms are required to be
wholly contained within a building. Therefore, a brewery with an outdoor tasting room is not
permitted. SP 200{8) will need to be amended under an application for a Specific Plan Amendment to
allow outdoor tasting rooms as an accessory use to a brewery.
6. P-M Zone. For both Options 1 & 2, the patio redevelopment or relocation, which will involve the
relocation and removal of parking spaces, will require approval of a Minor SDP. Per CMC Section
21.34.050, no development in the P-M Zone may proceed without first obtaining approval of a Minor
SDP in accordance with CMC Chapter 21.06.
7. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan: Any physical changes to the structure and/or
changes of use will require review of the project for compatibility and consistency with the McClellan-
Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). The land use, mid-size eating/drinking
establishment, is conditionally compatible in Safety Zone 2. For uses that are conditionally
compatible, the maximum intensity is limited to 70 people per acre, whether or not risk reduction
• policy objectives are incorporated into buildings. Safety Zone 2 is intended for low-intensity uses, with
the ALUCP stating which type of uses and buildings should be located in Safety Zone 2:
To the maximum extent that the site permits, buildings associated with this use should be situated
outside of Safety Zone 2 and the Safety Zone 2 portion should be devoted primarily to automobile
parking, circulation, landscaping, or other low-intensity functions.
a. Exhibit 111-1 -Compatibility Policy Map: Noise. The existing building for the proposed use
is located within the 60-65 decibels (dB) Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) noise
exposure range . The existing use of drinking/eating establishments is considered compatible
and no special noise mitigation measures are required for eating and drinking
establishments.
b. Exhibit 111-2 -Compatibility Policy Map: Safety. The purpose of the safety compatibility policies
is to minimize the risks of an off-airport aircraft accident or emergency landing to people and

property on the ground close to the airport and to people on board an aircraft. Safety criteria
relate primarily to "usage intensity" of people on a site as projected by a particular land use
type. "Usage intensity" is defined as the maximum number of people per acre that can be in
a given area at any one time. If a proposed use exceeds the maximum intensity, then it is
considered inconsistent with the safety compatibility policies of the ALUCP. Six separate
safety zones (Zones 1-6) are defined by the ALUCP with each having a maximum intensity
level. Zone 1 is the boundary of the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) and is the most restrictive
of the safety zones. Increased development intensity is permitted in each progressively higher
safety zone, with Zone 6 being the least restrictive.
The project site is located entirely within Safety Zone 2 per Exhibit 111-2. Pursuant to Table 111-
2, a "mid-size eating/drinking establishment" is conditionally compatible within Safety Zone
2, subject to Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limits and only if all listed conditions are met. The "mid-
size eating/drinking establishment" land use is limited to a maximum intensity of 70 people
per acre and a maximum FAR limit of 0.10. Additionally, risk reduction policy objectives are
required in Safety Zone 2 for this use.
The ALUCP has three methods for determining a site's intensity of use, including FAR,
maximum intensity, and parking space requirements. It is also important to note that the site
is part of a non-residential planned unit development with each building on a postage stamp
parcel.
If applying FAR and maximum intensity methods, and focusing solely on the postage stamp
parcel at 2719 Loker Avenue using the provided data, the site would be classified as a
nonconforming use. This is due to the FAR (3,280-square-foot brewery/16,117.2-square-foot
site) exceeding the FAR limit of 0.10 of Zone 2. Using the Maximum Intensity Methods
outlined in Appendix D of the ALUCP (Methods of Determining Concentrations of People),
occupancy loads are calculated separately for each individual use. Under CUP 15-01, the
3,280-square-foot brewery is divided into 1,847 square feet of warehouse space, 541 square
feet of manufacturing, 242 square feet of office, and a 650-square-foot retail tasting room.
Based on these individual uses and the overall site area, the occupancy load attributed to the
tasting room alone would exceed the maximum intensity standard of 70 people per acre.
Additionally, Safety Zone 2 uses must not exceed a maximum lot coverage of 50%. Currently,
the site has over 50% lot coverage.
According to Nonconforming Nonresidential Uses, Section 2.11.2(c)(2) of the ALUCP:
Any maintenance, alteration, or reconstruction must not result in expansion of either the
portion of the site or the floor area of the building devoted to the nonconforming use in
a manner that would increase the maximum intensity limits (number of people per acre)
or the floor area ratios to levels above those existing at the time of adoption of this
Compatibility Plan.
In the alternative, a larger segment of the Loker Avenue West site could be analyzed
to demonstrate compliance with the intensity of use standard. However, the applicant would
need to compile the information and obtain HOA/Owner approvals. It is recommended the

applicant consult directly with the San Diego Regional Airport Authority regarding the
approved safety plans, related information affecting this parcel, and to determine the size of
land the "people per gross acre sitewide average" is based on.
c. Exhibit 111-3 -Airspace Protection. The purpose of the Airspace Protection Compatibility
Policies is to ensure that structures and other uses of land do not cause hazards to aircraft in
flight within the Airport vicinity. Hazards to flight include physical obstructions to the
navigable airspace; wildlife hazards such as bird strikes; and land uses that create visual or
electronic interference with aircraft navigation or communication. The airspace protection
policies of the Land Use Compatibility Plan rely primarily upon regulations enacted by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the State of California. The regulations require the
FAA to be notified of any proposed construction that could interfere with aircraft flight
patterns. Any component of a project containing a structure or object that may exceed the
height standards defined in the FAA's Part 77, Subpart C, requires submittal of notification to
the FAA. This project is within the boundaries of the notification area pursuant to Exhibit 111-3
of the ALUCP incorporated herein by reference.
d. Exhibit 111-4 -Overflight Compatibility. The purpose of the ALUCP's Overflight Compatibility
Policies is to notify people about the presence of overflights near airports so that they can
make an informed decision regarding acquisition or leasing of property, especially residential
properties, in the affected area . The overflight policies are contained in Section 3.6, and the
Notification Area is depicted on Exhibits 111-4 and 111-6 in the ALUCP. Although this project is
within the Airport Overflight Notification Area, it is nonresidential development, and
therefore, the recordation of an overflight notification is not required.
e. Exhibit 111-5 -Airport Influence Area. The project site is located wholly within the Overflight
Notification Area, Review Area 1. Review Area 1 consists of locations where noise and/or
safety concerns may necessitate limitations on the types of land use actions. Specifically,
Review Area 1 encompasses locations exposed to aircraft noise levels of 60 dB CNEL or
greater together with all the safety zones depicted on the associated maps in this chapter.
8. Carlsbad Tract (CT) 03-12/Planned Unit Development (PUD) 03-08. Condition No. 8(J) of CT 03-12/PUD
03-08, Planning Commission Resolution No. 5533 dated January 21, 2004, states parking areas and
landscaped areas within Lot 1 as shown shall not be altered, reduced, fenced, or divided to preclude
the equal use by all owners/employees. As the parking area is on a different lot from the building and
existing facility, any changes to the shared parking areas and landscaped areas on the separate parcel
will need to be authorized by the HOA/owners to be consistent with this condition. This requirement
applies to both Options 1 & 2.
9. Lot Line Adjustment. The lot containing the 2719 Loker Avenue building is a postage stamp lot with
the lot lines immediately surrounding the building. According to CMC Section 21.04.020:
"Accessory" means a building, part of a building or structure, or use that is subordinate to and the
use of which is incidental to that of the main building, structure or use on the same lot.
Community Development Department
Planning Division I 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 I 442-339-2600

Therefore, the accessory use of an outdoor tasting patio cannot be located on another lot or across
lot lines. A lot line adjustment may be required if the proposed patio area cannot be wholly contained
on the 2719 Loker Avenue lot. Under a specific plan amendment, it may be possible to amend the
specific plan to allow accessory uses to be located on adjacent lots.
10. Building Setbacks.
a. Front and Street Side Yard. For Local Streets, an average setback of 35 feet shall be maintained
on all local streets, i.e. Loker Avenue and the other project cul-de-sacs. In no case shall the
setback be less than 25 feet.
b. Interior Side Yard. Side yard setbacks on interior lots shall be a minimum of 10 feet and shall
be entirely landscaped and irrigated._
c. Rear Yard. A rear-yard setback of 20 feet shall be required with at least 10 feet adjacent to
the rear property line landscaped and irrigated.
11. Design Guidelines. The proposed project does not include a concept for the relocation or design of
the outdoor dining/tasting area. Any proposed project to keep or relocate the outdoor patio
space should be designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing building and surrounding
development through thoughtful architectural and streetscape design, while incorporating all
necessary features to ensure compatibility with the surrounding context.
12. Landscape. The proposed project does not identify a designated location for outdoor dining. A
Landscape Plan may be required in accordance with CMC Section 18.50.060 if more than 2,500 square
feet of landscaping area is rehabilitated/modified as part of the project.
13. Parking Ordinance. The parking requirement for each of the six buildings located within the common
property of the Promontory Business Park was originally determined with the assumption that each
of the buildings provide a combination of office, manufacturing, and warehouse uses. The parking
requirement for all uses shall comply with CMC Section 21.44. Table A Off-Street Parking Spaces . The
required CC&Rs shall assign to the governing board the responsibility for reviewing all proposed
tenant improvements. Approval and signatures from the HOA/Owners for any changes in the parking
area will be required. A parking study may be required depending upon the proposed project and
surrounding uses, consistent with Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.44. If Option numbers 1 or 2 is
pursued, the overall parking provisions will need to comply with the parking standards.

As noted above, the purpose of this letter is to provide you with options for allowing outdoor tasting area
use and addressing the existing code violation. Essentially, there are three options, two of which are
discussed in detail in this letter. The third is abatement of the violation entirely.
In the City of Carlsbad, in most cases, the person responsible for a violation is given an opportunity to
voluntarily comply and correct the situation. Once the deadline in the notice has expired, the owner or
responsible party must attempt to correct or remedy the violation. This might involve repairs, obtain
permits, or address specific maintenance issues.
The city recognizes that land development can be complex and that each project is unique. For this reason,
the Code Enforcement Division paused progressive enforcement action on this code case and put a
temporary hold on issuing new violation notices or citations, pending your receipt of this letter. Now that
this preliminary review has been completed (dated May 8, 2026), code enforcement activity will resume.

Once you have had a chance to review and understand the contents of this letter, the next crucial step
is to correct the violation within a specified timeframe. Failing to address a code violation can result in
escalating enforcement actions, including fines, additional penalties, and potential legal action. You
should contact the Code Enforcement Division for clarification if needed and promptly take steps to
address the cited issues.
This letter should clearly outline the steps you need to take to rectify the violation. If you would like to
