RE: 3062 AND 3070 MADISON STREET, CITY OF CARLSBAD
Dear Mr. Fox:
As requested, this correspondence is provided to confirm the land uses which are
permitted by current permits for the property located at 3062 and 3070 Madison Street,
within the Village Redevelopment Area ofthe City of Carlsbad.
The existing Single Family dwelling unit provided at 3062 Madison may continue to be
used as a residential unit. Our records indicate that the residential unit is 728 square
feet in size. If an alternate use is intended for the building located at 3062 Madison, a
redevelopment permit must be approved prior to occupancy.
The building at 3070 Madison is allowed to be a mix of retail/office and residential. The
existing redevelopment permit allows a maximum of 1059 square feet retail or office
use. The residence located behind the retail/office suite at 3070 Madison Street must
remain residential.
Carlsbad Physical Therapy may occupy the 1059 square feet of existing retail/office
space with no need for additional permits from the Redevelopment Agency. The
residential portion of the existing buildings must remain as residential uses. If your client
would like to expand the retail/office space beyond the noted 1059 square feet, or
change the use of the existing residential areas, a redevelopment permit must be
processed through the Housing and Redevelopment Office. If your client wishes to
process a change in use of the buildings, or receive approval for new construction on
the site of less than $60,000, an administrative redevelopment permit will be required.
The normal processing time for an administrative redevelopment permit is approximately
3 to 4 months depending upon the extent of change or other issues.
If you need any additional information regarding use of the subject property, you may
contact my office again at (760) 434-2815.

Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389
Dear Ms. Fountain:
Per our telephone discussion today, we have a tentative user (buyer) for the 3062 & 3070
Madison Street property located in Land District 1.
We would like to determine whether the proposed use would be appropriate for this location.
Use: Medical Rehabilitation / Sports & Orthopaedic
User Carisbad Physical Therapy
Carlsbad Physical Therapy is 12 year business resident of the Village.
Mr. Ruiz of your office had indicated me last week that this use would likely be approved v^^thout
the necessity of a redevelopment permit. If this is the case, would it be possible to receive a
written verification of this, as well as the procedure and time (if any) for such approval to be
issued by the planning office.
Your prompt attention to this request would be greatly appreciated and a FAX would be
acceptable.
Thank you
If you should have any questions, please contact me at (760) 438-7237.

RE: 3070 MADISON STREET, ARP 96-07
Dear Mrs. P^ker:
For your information and that of your tenant (Pam Smith), attached is a copy of the correspondence
forwarded to you on March 3,1997 regarding the permit which was approved for your site at 3070
Madison Street. Originally, the signage proposed on the plans did not conform to the standards set forth
in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. Therefore, I asked that the signage noted on the plans be
revised so that we could approve everything at one time. Your architect indicated that you did not want
to take the time, or incur the cost, to revise the signage on the plans. So, the architect simply "crossed
out" the signage on the plans (see attached copy). Signage was not considered for approval as part of the
permit. Both the permit that was approved and the attached correspondence indicated that a separate sign
pennit application would be required for any signs to be installed on the property or building. You
indicated to me that you would share this information with the tenant.
It is my understanding that Ms. Smith has submitted a sign application as of this date. The application
has been processed and approved for installation. She must now obtain the appropriate building permits
to install the signs.
If you have any comments and/or questions regarding this correspondence, please contact my office at
434-2935.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Parker:
Attached please find a copy of your approved administrative redevelopment permit for the change in
use for a portion of your property located at 3070 Madison fi-om a residential use to a retail/office use
with a residential unit to the rear. Please note that the permit does not provide approval for any signs
related to the business to be established within the retail suite. The business owner will be required to
complete a separate application and obtain separate approval from the City ofCarlsbad for any signs to
be installed on the property or building.
Before initiating any construction on the site, you must complete the process to obtain the appropriate
building permits to construct the improvements both inside and outside the building(s). Please note that
the new retail area must comply with handicap access standards for existing buildings.

Dear Ms. Fountain:
Please find attached the "red-lined check print" and (3) sets of revised plans
dated 1/29/97.1 have been retained by Mr. & Mrs. Parker to complete the
submittal process. After receiving your comments and the "red lined check set", I
visited the site to verify that the plans truly reflected the exiting conditions on the
site. I discovered several discrepancies and have revised the plans to reflect
existing as-built conditions.
I have addressed both your written comments and the comments on the "red
Lined" set for both the proposed project and the proposed signage. The signage
permit will be the responsibility of the Tenant and is not a part of this submittal
nor the Building Department submittal, which I have noted on the plans.
Per our discussion today, the project will be reviewed for approval at the time
that the public notice comments are received, 10 days from January 27,1997.
Please feel free to call me with further comments or questions.

RE: SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY AT 3065/3070 MADISON STREET
Dear Mrs. Parker:
Per your telephone request on January 21, 1997, this correspondence is forwarded to you to further
document your discussions with City Staff regarding the subdivision of your property at 3065/3070
Madison Street in Carlsbad. As indicated in letters to you from my office (9/10/96) and Ken Quon,
Engineering Department (9/29/96), you may apply at any time for a subdivision of your property through
the Minor Subdivision Application process. The information required for you to submit this application
was forwarded to you on September 29, 1996. If you no longer have this information, please contact Ken
Quon at 438-1161, extension 4380.
During our discussions and within our correspondence, staff indicated that a determination will need to
be made that a 7,000 square foot lot is appropriately sized for new development within the Village
Redevelopment Area. Based on recent internal staff discussions on this issue, staff believes that the
required determination can be made to allow you to subdivide the subject property into two (2) equally
sized parcels. Therefore, if you are able to successfully complete the application process, staff believes
that based on current regulations that your subdivision application can be approved. It should be noted
that if any of the city ordinances or the Village Master Plan is revised at some future date, the changes
may impact future applications for subdivisions. Your application is reviewed according to policies and
procedures in effect at the time your application is submitted to the City of Carlsbad. Therefore, it is very
important that you contact City Staff at the time you are ready to submit a subdivision application to
ensure that you understand the policies and procedures which are in effect at that time. Staff is unable to
guarantee that the regulations will not change in the future. However, based on current regulations, staff
believes that you can obtain the desired approval for the property subdivision.
If you have any comments and/or questions regarding this correspondence, please contact my office at

RE: 3070 MADISON STREET
Dear Mrs. Parker:
Thank you for submitting your application for a land use change for a portion of your property located at
3070 Madison from a residential use to a retail/office use with a residential unit to the rear. Your
administrative redevelopment permit application was received for processing on December 12, 1996 and
has been deemed complete for further processing as of the date of this correspondence. Although your
application has been deemed complete for further processing, there are some changes/corrections to the
plans vvhich are required before the Housing and Redevelopment Director will be able to provide you
with fmal approval of your application.
As I discussed with you on January 13, 1997, your application and plans were forwarded to the
Engineering, Planning and Building Departments on December 13, 1996 for their review. Based on the
subject review, the following corrections and/or changes must be made to the plans you originally
submitted for approval (dated 12/11/96). Once you have made the following changes and/or corrections,
please resubmit three (3) final copies of your plans to my office for continued processing and final
approval:
1. Parking Spaces #1,2 and 3 need to be relocated to the north side of your property because they do
not meet the current length/depth standards for private parking spaces backing onto a public alley,
which is not a minimum of 24 feet in width. Based on our records, the alley behind your property is
only 20 feet in width. Therefore, the parking spaces on your site must be at least 24 feet in
length/depth. Parking spaces #1,2 and 3, as shown on the plans, are only 20 feet in length/depth.
Consequently, these spaces need to be relocated to the north side of your property to meet current
standards. It is my suggestion that you construct a total of 4 parking spaces on the north side of the
property; this will provide you with one additional parking space above the required number of
spaces for the residential/retail building on your site. The parking spaces must be paved and striped.
2. Correct size of Handicap Space to reflect the required 20 foot length/depth (rather than the 18 foot
length/depth shown on the current set of plans).
3. Based on the plans, it appears that the total retail space is approximately 1200 square feet rather than
the noted 1100 square feet; this number needs to be verified. See comments on red-lined check print
which is attached for your review. Show all dimensions for retail.

4. As indicated on the attached "red-lined check print" of your plans, the following information needs
to be added to your plans to provide a more accurate "picture" of the site and proposed project:
Show the limits and dimensions of the entire existing driveway.
Indicate all improvements on and around the site as existing or proposed.
Average Daily Traffic of: 20 ADT for Residential, 40 ADT for Commercial, 60 ADT total
for project.
Location of power pole at the property's southerly line and the overhead electric lines along
the project's frontage, along Madison Street.
Indicate that no grading is being proposed.
Indicate the drainage pattem for the property.
Show locations of all fences and walls and label them as existing or proposed (including the
existing front yard retaining wall and wood fence).
Indicate the width of the alley (20') on the plans.
5. Corrections are required on the signage information as noted below:
• Total amount of signage permitted is 40 square feet; the maximum size of the monument
sign is 24 square feet.
• The height of the monument sign may not exceed 60 inches. Therefore, either the height of
the sign or the supporting brackets must be reduced by 1 foot.
• Indicate the size of the letters for the monument sign.
As stated above, once you have made the required changes and/or corrections to the project plans, please
resubmit three (3) copies of the revised plans to my office for continued processing. If the noted
changes/corrections are made to the subject plans as indicated by staff within this correspondence, the
Housing and Redevelopment Department intends to approve your application for an administrative
redevelopment permit to convert the front portion of the building at 3070 Madison from a residential to
retail use. Please submit the revised set of plans to my office by no later than January 27, 1997.
Also, please retum the enclosed red-lined check print of your plans with the three sets of revised plans.
While you are making the required corrections to your project plans, a notice will be distributed to open
the public review and comment period on your proposed project. Once the public review and comment
period is complete and staff has verified that the appropriate corrections have been made to the project
plans, a final approval can be granted and we can then complete the process by issuing the final notice to
announce the appeal period of the Housing and Redevelopment Director's decision.

ARP 96-07: PARKER CONVERSION
COMPLETENESS REVIEW AND INITIAL ISSUES STATEMENT (REVISION)
In accordance with our discussion yesterday, I have again researched the Parker property and
have now determined that this parcel is a legal lot (in conformance with Adjustment Plat 380
and Certificate of Compliance CE 535, which you supplied to me). Since no actual new
construction is being proposed, as a courtesy to the applicant, a Preliminary Title Report (PR)
will not be required to process the application, and, the application is now determined to be
complete with regards to engineering staff review.
Previous incomplete items 1 through 3 and Engineering Issue-Land Title No. 1 (M. Shirey
memo to D. Fountain, dated: December 27, 1996) are therefore no longer applicable and do not
have to be addressed by the applicant (please delete these items from the red-lined check print
which was previously submitted to you). The other remaining engineering issues are still
applicable, however, and still must be adequately resolved/addressed prior to staff making a
determination on this project, in accordance with the following:
Engineering Issues:
Traffic and Circulation:
1. Please be advised, for vehicular maneuverability purposes, if the alley at the rear
of the project is not 24' in usable width, then parking spaces 1, 2 & 3 must be
increased in depth by 4', to a minimum depth of 24'.
2. In accordance with Traffic and Circulation Issue No. 1 above, how are
pedestrians supposed to access the site if a vehicle is parked in parking space
No. 1? A minimum of 4' of depth should be added to this space to facilitate
pedestrian ingress/egress to the site around a parked vehicle.
3. Show the limits and dimensions of the entire existing driveway.
4. Please show street cross-sections for Madison Street and the alley. Indicate all
improvements (i.e., curb & gutter, sidewalk, grass parkway, etc.) as existing or
proposed.
5. The proposed handicap parking space must have a 20' minimum depth.
6. Indicate the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the proposed project separated by
land use designation. The existing residences generate: Residential = 20 ADT;
the proposed commercial component generates: Commercial = 40 ADT; total
ADT = 60.

RE: 3070 MADISON STREET
Dear Mrs. Parker:
This correspondence is forwarded to you to provide you with a status report on your
Administrative Redevelopment Permit to convert the use of your building at 3070 Madison from
a residential use to a retail/office use with a residential unit to the rear. Your administrative
redevelopment permit application was received for processing on December 12, 1996. The
application was forwarded to the Engineering, Planning and Building Departments on December
13, 1996 for their review and comments to determine whether or not the application was
complete for continued processing purposes or whether additional information is required or
corrections are needed on the plans.
As of January 10, 1997,1 received comments from all three departments - Planning, Engineering
and Building. The Engineering Department has some issues which require resolution, such as the
correct assessor's parcel number for the site and required sizes of the parking spaces. I plan to
meet with the Project Engineer on Monday, January 13, 1997 to discuss his issues and attempt to
resolve them. If I am able to resolve the Project Engineer's issues with the project on January
13th, I will be able to complete the processing of your application for an administrative
redevelopment permit within approximately 20 days. Ifl am not able to resolve the Engineer's
issues on Monday, I will contact you to schedule a meeting. I would encourage you to have your
contractor present if a meeting is necessary because he should be able to facilitate any
corrections which may be required on the plans.
I met your contractor last week and discussed the process of obtaining permits from the City of
Carlsbad. First, I will need to complete the processing of your administrative redevelopment
permit before you will be able to obtain any building permits for construction activity within the
front portion of the building to be used for retail/office. However, I did indicate to the contractor
that he may begin the preparation of the plans required to obtain a building permit for the
construction activities and process the permit concurrently with the processing of the
administrative redevelopment permit. The building permit will not be issued until the
administrative redevelopment permit is approved, but the processing can begin to save time. The
contractor indicated that he would talk to you and begin the process to obtain the building
permit(s). Please understand that no construction activity can take place within the front portion
of the building until the appropriate permits are approved and issued by the City of Carlsbad.

If you wish to obtain building permits to complete construction activities related to the back
residential portion of the property only, you must submit two (2) separate sets of plans to the
building department for approval of required building permits. The first set of plans must reflect
only those changes which you are going to make to the residential unit; do not include any
construction/ improvement activity related to the front unit to be converted to retail/office space.
You may then process the residential set of plans separately and begin the work once you obtain
the appropriate building permits. Please note that the building permit is required to change the
occupancy from a daycare center to the desired residential use. You then must submit a separate
set of plans which reflect the interior work to be completed for the retail/office space. The
building permit for the work on the retail/office space, however, will not be approved until your
administrative redevelopment permit is approved for that specific use. Please note that the
retail/office space will be required to comply with access standards for existing buildings.
As an important note, it is much more efficient to process one (1) set of plans for a building
permit to complete aH of the improvements that you are required to make to provide for a mixed
use, residential and retail/office, at 3070 Madison Street. However, if you process one set of
building permit plans, your contractor will not be able to start work on the project until you
obtain your administrative redevelopment permit and the appropriate building permit. So, you
may wish to divide the project up into 2 phases and have a separate set of plans prepared for each
phase in order to begin work on the residential portion of your project at this time. If you wish to
do this, you should instruct your contractor to prepeu-e the desired plans and let me know so that I
may contact the Building Department to explain your project.
For information purposes, I want to let you know you will be required to provide a handicap
parking space which is van accessible, which means it must be a minimum of 8 feet wide by 20
feet in length. This is one of the corrections which will be required on the plans in order to
approve your administrative redevelopment and building permits for the retail/office portion of
your project. Also, unless the alley is 24 feet in width, you will need to lengthen the parking
spaces by a minimum of 4 feet. We may need to discuss the relocation of your parking spaces to
the north side of the property, behind the existing little single family home. I will discuss these
issues further with you following my discussions with the Project Engineer on January 13th.
If you or your contractor would like to discuss the Administrative Redevelopment Permit
application or required building permits further, please contact my office directly at 434-2935.

RE: 3062/3070 MADISON STREET
Dear Ms. Parker:
Enclosed please fmd a copy of the application for an Administrative Redevelopment
Permit. As we have discussed previously, an Administrative Redevelopment Permit is
required in order to convert the use of your building at 3062/3070 Madison from a
residential use to a retail/office use. The Permit must be approved before a business
license can be issued by the City of Carlsbad. Signage related to the new use is processed
as part of the Redevelopment Permit. Therefore, until approval is received on the
redevelopment permit, no signage may be installed on the building or property.
The application includes information on the processing of the permit. It takes
approximately two (2) months to process an administrative redevelopment permit if all
appropriate information is submitted with the application upon the initial submission. If
the application is not complete, the process can take much longer. It is suggested that you
instruct the business owner to process the required application for the subject
administrative redevelopment permit.
It is important to note that the redevelopment permit will be reviewed to determine
whether or not there is adequate parking on the site to accommodate the change in use
from residential to retaiyoffice. The parking requirement is one (1) space for every 300
square feet of gross floor space within the building. For example, ifthe building is 3000
square feet in size, the total parking requirement wdll be 10 spaces. Required parking
spaces must be provided on the site in order to receive approval of the subject permit.
Consequently, unless you currently have enough parking on the site, you may be required
to construct additional parking spaces.
If the Administrative Redevelopment Permit is approved, the business owner or you, as
the property owner, will then be able to obtain required building permits for
improvements to the interior or exterior of the building and installation of approved
signage.

Dear Ms. Parker:
This letter is a follow-up to the City's letter sent to you from Debbie Fountain of the Housing and
Redevelopment Department, dated September 10, 1996. We understand you have requested
information from the City as to the procedure for subdividing a parcel of land which you own on
Madison Street, in the Village Redevelopment Area.
In accordance with Chapter 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, subdivision of this parcel may
be accomplished through the filing of a Minor Subdivision application with the City. In general,
this application requires the property owner or their representative to submit a tentative parcel
map of the subdivision, and following approval by the City, file a final parcel map. These
documents are to be prepared, signed, and sealed by a Registered Civil Engineer.
As Ms. Fountain mentioned in her letter, such a proposed subdivision will also require that a
determination be made that a 7,000 square foot lot is appropriately sized for new development
within the Village Redeveiopment Area. This determination will be reviewed during the
processing of the Minor Subdivision. Additionally, approval of a tentative parcel map typically
requires the applicant to satisfy certain conditions prior to approval of the final parcel map.
The fees for processing a Minor Subdivision are as follows:
Tentative parcel map $1,611
Public Facilities Fee Agreement 50
Final parcel map 1,580
The first two fees listed above are due at the time of submittal of the Minor Subdivision
application and the third fee is due at the time of submittal of the final parcel map.
To further assist you, please find enclosed information on processing a Minor Subdivision,
including a checklist of items required for a tentative parcel map, an application form, a Public
Facilities Fee Agreement, and a checklist for submittal of a final parcel map. The time period to
process a Minor Subdivision application, from submittal of a tentative parcel map through
approval of a final parcel map, generally takes 4-6 months, depending on the complexity of the
project. Since it appears your project does not involve any complex issues, a processing time
of 4 months or less is achievable.

PARCEL NO. 203-351-19
Recently, the property owners of the above referenced parcel have made inquiries to the City
regarding what procedures are required to subdivide this parcel into two lots. This parcel
previously existed as two lots but was consolidated into one lot in 1989, in accordance with a
condition of approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 196B. Attached is a copy of the recorded
Certificate of Compliance and Adjustment Plat for this lot consolidation.
In order to subdivide this parcel, the property owners must file with the City a Minor Subdivision
application. In general, this procedure requires the applicant to retain a Registered Engineer to
prepare a tentative parcel map, and following approval by the City, file a final parcel map.
Approval of such a tentative parcel map typically requires the applicant to satisfy certain
conditions prior to approval of the final parcel map.
There may be questions as to whether there are alternative procedures, such as the filing of a
Certificate of Compliance or Adjustment Plat, that could be applied in lieu of a Minor Subdivision
to subdivide this parcel. However, Chapter 20.36 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code limits these
procedures to lot consolidations and boundary adjustments, and so long as additional lots are
not created. Additionally, Chapter 20.24.150 provides for waiver of a parcel map under certain
findings, which may be difficult to make relative to this proposed subdivision.
The property owner should be made aware that the Minor Subdivision procedure is not
intended to be onerous, but rather, follow the intent of the State's Subdivision Map Act for local
agencies to regulate and control the design of subdivisions. By doing this, orderly community
development is encouraged, public dedications and improvements are insured, and the public is
protected from fraud and exploitation during the transfer of property.
Since subdivisions are infrequent in the downtown area, I have reviewed the existing
configuration of this parcel and found that if a subdivision were proposed today, it is possible to
subdivide into two lots in compliance with current City planning and engineering codes and
ordinances.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me at extension 4380.

RE: 3062 MADISON STREET
Dear Ms. Parker:
As a follow-up to my telephone message on September 10, 1996,1 wanted to provide you
with vvritten correspondence related to your property at 3062 Madison Street and the
issue of a subdivision. In 1995,1 was unable to verify for you that a lot line adjustment
was processed through the City of Carlsbad to consolidate your two properties at 3062
and 3070 Madison Street into a single lot for the purposes of receiving approval for a
permit to operate a day care center on the site. However, as you recently discovered in a
title search on the property, an adjustment plat for the subject parcels was in fact
processed and approved by the City of Carlsbad in October, 1989. You now have a
legally recorded single lot which appears to be 14,000 square feet in size (100' X 140').
Per our previous telephone discussion, you have a person interested in purchasing one
half of the single lot and, consequently, you would like to convert the property back into
two lots of approximately 7000 square feet each (50' X 140') in size. Unfortunately, it is
much more difficult to subdivide lots than it is to consolidate them. The Subdivision Map
Act, which applies on a state-wide basis, provides the general regulations under which the
City must process requests for subdividing property. The Subdivision Map Act was
implemented to ensure that property owners are creating lots, when subdividing, which
are appropriately sized for future development purposes. Under the current Carlsbad
Municipal Code, the smallest lot which can be permitted for subdivision purposes is 7500
square feet in size. This minimum size requirement may present a problem for processing
your request to subdivide the subject property back into two lots. In order to approve your
request for a subdivision, a special determination will need to be made that a 7000 square
foot lot is appropriately sized for new development within the Village Redevelopment
Area.
To process a subdivision of your property, you will need to complete the required
application form and submit it with the appropriate plans (to be prepared by a registered
Engineer) and fees to the City of Carlsbad's Engineering Department. As David Rick, of
the Engineering Department, indicated to you, the approximate cost for processing the
subdivision will be at least $5000. This includes fees to the City for processing and the
costs to you for hiring a registered Engineer to prepare the required plans. Due to the

noted cost and the possibility that you may not be able to obtain approval to subdivide,
you may wish to reconsider your decision and choose to continue to market the property
as a single lot for sales purposes.
I also wanted to let you know that a new Village Master Plan became effective this year
which sets forth a new land use map/plan for the Village Redevelopment Area. Your
single property is located in Land Use District 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area; this
area is referred to as the Village Center and a variety of land uses are permitted or can be
provisionally permitted within it. A redevelopment permit will still be required to
convert the subject property from its existing residential use to another use such as retail
or office. However, the new Master Plan allows for an administrative approval of any
new permitted or provisional land use and any new construction under $60,000 (in
building permit value). This means that the land use change process has been made easier
and less time consuming which can help you or a prospective buyer when considering
development options for the property.
I hope the above information has been helpful. If you wish to discuss the subdivision
application process in further detail, I encourage you to contact the Engineering
Department directly. Or, if you would like to discuss this correspondence or what land
uses are permitted for your property, please feel free to contact my office directly at 434-
2935.

DEL MAR, CA. 92014
RE: 3062 AND 3070 MADISON STREET
Dear Ann and Fred:
Thank you for submitting your documents for land use change for a preliminary review by the
Housing and Redevelopment Department. It is my understanding that you would like to change the
use of the property from a day care center to possibly two (2) to three (3) residential units and/or to
two (2) to three (3) retail/office suites. You also indicated that you would like the flexibility of having
mixed use (residential and retail/office) on the property. As an example, you indicated that you might
like to be able to have a "shopkeeper" unit on the 3070 Madison Street property where a business
may be located in the front and the owner lives in the back. All of your ideas are good and consistent
with the Village Design Manual. At this time, the only issue is how to process your request for a
change in use, or uses, of both subject properties. A redevelopment permit will need to be issued for
any change in use of the property.
Before outlining the process to obtain a redevelopment permit and additional information needed from
you, I would like to outline the change in use history of the property as provided for in our files. I
hope this information will be helpful to you as you try to sell the property or lease the units.
• Prior to adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the Village Redevelopment Area, your
property was zoned R-P which is a residential-professional designation. This meant that any
use of the property had to be consistent with this specific zoning designation.
• Originally, there were residential units on your property. There was apparently a duplex on
the property at 3070 Madison and a single family home at 3062 Madison.
• In 1981, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow the Montessori
School to use both parcels. The duplex was to be used for classrooms and the single family
home was to be used for an office/storage. The garage was converted to a storage facility.
This conditional use permit for the day care center/pre-school was extended in 1985 and again
in 1990. The current conditional use permit for the day care center/pre-school expires on
November 13, 1995. The permit for the day care center/pre-school may be extended by you
or a new property owner by providing a written application no less than 90 days prior to the
expiration date.
• In July of 1981, the Village Redevelopment Area Plan was adopted. This meant that all
properties with the Redevelopment Area, such as your property, were rezoned to "VR" or
Village Redevelopment. The rezoning resulted in more flexibility as related to land uses.
Rather than a specific zoning (i.e., R-P), the properties now have a group of land uses which
are permitted according to "subareas" within the Village.
PARKER W
May 4, 1995
Page 2
Your property located at 3070 Madison is within Subarea 7 of the Village. The uses allowed
in this area are the same as those allowed within a R-3 or R-P zone elsewhere in the City. See
the attached list of acceptable land uses for more detail.
Your property located at 3062 Madison is located within Subarea 1 of the Village. The uses
allowed within this area are the same as those allowed with the C-2, C-1 and R-P zones
elsewhere in the City. Incidental and compatible uses such as those permitted in a R-3 zone
may also be permitted on a case by case basis. See the attached list of acceptable land uses for
more detail.
The above information has been provided to help you to understand the actions which now need to be
taken related to land use.
First, the property may continue to be used for a day care/pre-school. However, the conditional use
permit will need to be extended to continue the use past November 13, 1995. No other use of the
property will be allowed without a new redevelopment permit being approved to change the use,
except that the units may be converted back to residential units which meet current building codes.
Second, if the conditional use permit expires for the day care center/pre-school, the units must be
converted back to residential units which means that the storage facility should be converted back to a
garage at 3062 Madison Street. The unit on the property at 3062 Madison may be leased or sold for
use as a single family home. The unit at 3070 Madison may be leased or sold for use as a single
family home or a duplex. No further redevelopment permit is required to lease or sell the units for
residential purposes. A building permit may be required for any changes required to reuse the units as
residences. The residents of these units may operate a home business if it meets the conditions of the
attached ordinance.
Finally, we have the issue of change in land use from daycare/pre-school or residential to an alternate
land use. This complicates matters somewhat. We are basically unable to process a redevelopment
permit without a clear indication of the proposed land use. We need to know the square footage for
each proposed land use to determine the applicable parking requirements and/or other standards which
may be applicable to the project. All proposed new projects must meet existing Planning, Engineering
and Building Code requirements. Therefore, we need site plans which identify the total square footage
for each proposed use and where the parking will be located for each use.
For example, if you were to use the duplex at 3070 Madison for a retail establishment or a
professional office, you would need to provide nine (9) parking spaces total on the property. This is
based on a total of 2528 square feet of gross floor space as shown on the plans in our office. It
appears that the site currently only provides for two (2) parking spaces. If you were to use 900 square
feet of the duplex for retail/office and the remainder for a 2 bedroom residential unit, the parking
would be five (5) to six (6) spaces; single family homes require a two car garage. The parking spaces
must meet all standards outlined within the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
You have proposed basically two (2) separate land uses - two retail/office buildings or a mix of
retail/office and residential. If you would like to process both plans, you may do so. However, you
will need complete site plans for both options which identify the location for parking for the proposed
uses and any other changes to the building or the site. Enclosed is a copy of the plans that were
submitted for the day care center. You will need to prepare something similar for the two (2) plans
you have proposed. But you would need to provide more detail regarding the breakdown of the land
uses (i.e., amount of residential vs. retail/office). Retail and professional offices have the same
, PARKER
May 4, 1995
Page 3
parking requirement. So, you could list either land use in the building. However, medical offices
require 1 parking space per every 200 square feet of gross floor space. If you were interested in
putting a restaurant into either of the buildings, you will need 1 parking space for each 100 square
feet of gross floor space. Attached is a copy of the parking ordinance which outlines parking
requirements for other uses.
As indicated above, the uses you have proposed are all acceptable. However, to change the land use
on your property from day care/preschool or residential to one of these other uses, including a mixed
use, requires a minor redevelopment permit. Since there has been no lot line consolidation, you would
need to provide parking on the two separate lots/parcels according to the land uses proposed for each
building, or buildings.
Needless to say, obtaining a redevelopment permit is not a simple process. We need to have a site
plan for each proposed new land use or mix of uses. It is best to limit the options to no more than
two total. Please understand that the minor redevelopment permit issued for a new land use is specific
to that land use. It does not allow a change without the issuance of another redevelopment permit.
This may limit a new property owner who might want to do something slightly different than what
you have proposed. Rather than attempting to process a land use permit at this time, it is my
suggestion that you indicate to prospective buyers that they are allowed to use the property for
daycare/preschool or residential only (both units) at this time. If they would like to change this use,
they should process their own redevelopment permit; this would allow the new owner to obtain a land
use permit which meets their specific needs for the property. You can share with them the uses which
would be acceptable within the area and then have them contact my office to discuss the process for
changing the use.
If you, however, would still like to pursue the matter on your own as the current property owner, you
may do so by preparing site plans and complete project descriptions for the two land uses you have
proposed. The new site plans should include all of the information noted in the "General Information
Section" of the enclosed "Application Checklist". It may be helpful for you to contact a local architect
and have him/her work with my office to develop the site plan for these new uses; there are several
very knowledgeable and helpful architects within the Village Area who are familiar with the
requirements of the City/Redevelopment Agency. If you do not intend to make any changes to the
exterior of the building or the existing landscaping, please indicate this on your plans. The land use
change permit will cost approximately $200 to process. The process takes an average of 3 to 4
months to complete due to the fact that several departments must review the plans, recommendations
and reports must be written and a meeting must be scheduled with the Design Review Board. The
Design Review Board must approve all minor redevelopment permits.
I apologize for the length of this correspondence. I realize this is a lot of information, but I wanted to
make sure that you were provided with as much information as possible about how you may use your
property so that you know what to tell prospective tenants or buyers. Please feel free to contact my
office if you have any additional questions on this matter. I will be happy to work directly with your
architect as well to develop the appropriate application for the proposed land use changes.
Sincerely,
