Background In 1981 the City approved a Building Permit for the construction of a three story, 8-unit apartment at this site. This approval allowed for 4 ground level studios and 4 two story, two bedroom units. The two bedroom units were located in the second and third floors of the building. Subsequent to that, the four, 2 bedroom units located on the second and third floors were converted into eight units, resulting in a total of 12 units on this site. This conversion was done by the previous owner, who did not obtain building permits for this work. The current owner, Don Forster purchased the property in 1986, after this conversion had been completed. Mr. Forster was not aware that this conversion had been done without obtaining the necessary permits from the City. Due to an anonymous complaint in June 2001, Mr. Forster received a letter from Code Enforcement giving him the option of obtaining building permits for the four units created without permits. Unfortunately there is inadequate on site parking for 12 apartment units. Currently, there are 19 on-site parking spaces, which met City parking requirements for 8 apartments when this project was approved for construction in 1981. The parking standard for hotels/motels is at 1.2 spaces/unit. Based on this standard a 12-unit hotel would require 14 on-site spaces. 5900 Pasteur Court • Suite 150 • Carlsbad • CA 92008 • (760) 438-1465 • Fax; (760) 438-2443 Although this building was approved as an apartment, it has been used basically more as a hotel/motel use than an apartment. Ever since it was constructed the units have been rented for short time periods more in accordance with a hotel/motel type use. The Califomia Coastal Commission placed a deed restriction on the property, which required that the four ground floor studio units be available for rental on a short-term basis (less than 31 days) during the summer months. Historically, the four studio units have been rented in conformance with this requirement. The rentals of the other units are mostly on a weekly basis in the summer and on weekly and monthly basis in the winter Proposal Mr. Forster is applying for an Administrative Redevelopment Permit to formally convert the previously approved eight unit apartment project to a 12 unit hotel/motel and continue to rent them on a transient basis rather than as apartments on long term leases A hotel/motel use would be more in keeping with the surrounding uses and this site's designation by the current Redevelopment Plan. The property is located in Land Use District 9/Tourism Support area of the Redevelopment Plan. This portion of the Redevelopment Area is designated for tourist commercial uses such as hotels (Exhibit A). Approval of an Administrative Redevelopment Permit to change the existing apartments to a hotel/motel there would not result in any significant change to the exterior of the existing structure. One of the first floor units will be modified for handicap accessibility, a residential fire sprinkler system will be installed and the second/third floor townhouse units will be converted into flats. Two of the existing parking spaces will be converted into one handicapped van parking space resulting in a total of 18 onsite parking spaces. As mentioned above a 12-unit hotel project only requires 14 onsite parking spaces. There will be no change to the existing use of the site. The site would continue to operate in the same manner as it has been operated for years on a weekly and monthly basis. All units would retain kitchen facilities, which are similar to many of the new suite hotels and timeshare units.
