Dear Neighbors,
We are writing this letter with the intent to provide information regarding the proposed opening of
Guayules Restaurant located at 2780 Carlsbad Blvd, in the spring of 2009.
Our desire is to operate with the utmost respect for all our neighbors, and to ensure that we bring only a
positive impact to the Carlsbad Village.
Guayules will be a family operated full service food establishment catering primarily to local families, in
a casual tropical environment. We are very excited to offer Carlsbad high quality fresh food, reasonably
priced, and prepared by Chef Jeff Snyder and his staff. Jeff is a classically trained chef and his culinary
experience goes back more than 3 decades. He has consulted with and worked at fine restaurants and
hotels throughout California. Although he is obviously over qualified for such a small operation, he
looks forward to spending more time with his family and friends in Carlsbad, and also to give back to the
community he lives in, one plate at a time.
We are sensitive to the concerns of neighbors and understand that you are putting a lot of trust in us,
which we take very seriously. As Carlsbad locals and village property owners, we as a management
team are uniquely qualified to steward such a venture.
To encourage family-oriented dining rather than a party environment, the proposed restaurant hours of
operation are from 11:00 AM until 10:00 PM. We will offer a wide range of food in a casual
environment. We do intend to offer beer and wine only to compliment our food. The atmosphere will
not be conducive to partiers, as seating will only be available to diners. The restaurant will not have a
bar area and all ofthe dining area will be covered and not visible to any neighboring residences. We will
accept conditions on our land use permit that will establish these restrictions on our operations.
Please feel free to contact us at any time should you have additional questions.
We look forward to welcoming you when we open, and know that you'll love the food and also the
commute.

Re: Gauyule's Grill (RP 08-61)
Dear Mr. Ayoub:
On April 21, 2009 the Housing and Redevelopment Director conditionally approved
Administrative Redevelopment Permit No. RP 08-61 for property located at 2780
Carlsbad Boulevard. The decision of the Housing and Redevelopment Director is
subject to a ten (10) day appeal period. The appeal period has elapsed and no appeals
were filed.
Attached is a copy of the approved permit with conditions authorizing a change in use
from commercial/retail to restaurant. Please review all conditions carefully. Violation of
the conditions could result in revocation of this permit.
It has been a pleasure doing business with you. If you have any questions regarding
this correspondence, please contact my office at (760) 434-2810 ext 5017.

Austin,
Thank you very much for sending to me the permit with conditions of approval. I appreciate you working with me and
other owners of Village By The Sea residences.
As you are aware, I am not happy about the change of use from retail to restaurant. I think it is a bad idea and it is
terribly unfair owners of Viiiage By The Sea whose units are adjacent to the property.
However, I am encouraged about the condition regarding hours of operation, and hope the operators of the restaurant
do close at 9PM Sunday-Thursday as they have stated. That would allow one hour to clean up and go home, and the
VBTS residents will be able to enjoy their quiet hours beginning at 10PM. The hours for Friday and Saturday, are not
unreasonable.
I am also encouraged about #13 of the conditions:
13. No sounds, including but not limited to loud speakers, sound systems, or other types of music or
noise from the operation of the business shall be audible beyond the boundaries of the premises.
The owners/residents of Village By The Sea will hope this condition and all conditions will be met.
Thanks again for your update.

Tom,
Debbie Fountain, Housing and Redevelopment Director has signed off on the Administrative Redevelopment Permit to
allow a change of use from commercial/retail to restaurant space for the building at 2780 Carlsbad Boulevard. I spoke
with the applicant(s) and it is their desire to keep the operating times from 11 AM until 10 PM. However, they explained
to me that those hours will be primarily during the weekends and Sunday through Thursday they intend on closing
earlier around 9 PM. You are being sent a an official Notice of Final Action in the mail. You may appeal the director's

I PROTEST
CITY OF CARLSBAD'S ACTION TO CHANGE PROPERTY USE
AT 2780 CARLSBAD BLVD
FROM COMMERCIAL/RETAIL TO RESTAURANT
Please do not approve this cliange of use from commercial/retail to restaurant.
The proposed alcohol-serving establishment and parking lot is immediately adjacent to a high density, planned
unit development in which young children reside or visit. The proposed establishment and parking lot will be
located within 75 feet of many of the townhouse units, including my townhouse at 2752 Carlsbad Bl #100.
Living adjacent to a restaurant detracts from the safety and the desirability of that neighborhood.
This change of use represents a huge impact to the owners/residents in the townhouses adjacent to that site and
will ruin their enjoyment of those properties. Retail usage is fine, but a restaurant with the accompanying day
and late night traffic, noise and pollution is completely unacceptable. It is just wrong to do that to us owners
and residents.
The proposed restaurant will be located directly across the street from Saint Michael's Episcopal Church and
Sunday School and children's playground. It is located diagonally across an intersection from an upscale senior
citizen retirement community. The type of customer (transient and alcohol consuming) attracted by this type of
establishment poses a threat of violence and injury to both the nearby children and to the more elderly residents
of the retirement community who may be outside during the business hours of the applicant.
This restaurant plans to operate between 9AM and 11PM, which means cleanup and closing will continue for at
least another hour, until after midnight when it will finally be quiet again for the residents in Village by the
Sea. The reasonable expectation of all the nearby residents, including my tenants, to be able to enjoy a quiet
daytime and evening will be violated by the inevitable noise generated by this establishment.
I am preparing a 10-year extension to the lease with the current tenant in my property there, representing
$420,000 in rents over that period. The tenant is very concemed about this restaurant being operated virtually
just outside his bedroom window. The tenant will not sign that lease if this restaurant is approved by the City.
The loss of that $420,000 contract will constitute just the financial portion of my loss, along with the loss of an
outstanding resident in that community, for which the City will be responsible.
I ask the City of Carlsbad to please reconsider their current intent and to deny this change of use from
commercial/retail to a restaurant at 2780 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad, CA 92008

No comments at this time.
Engineering:
1. As part of the formal application, prepare and submit a Stomn Water
Standards Questionnaire to determine storm water priority status. This
must be signed by the applicant/owner. From Engineering's cursory
review this qualifies as a priority project for water quality, therefore a
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) must be prepared and submitted
to:
a) Identify post-development on-site pollutants-of-concern.
b) Identify the hydrologic unit this project contributes to and impaired
water bodies that would be impacted by this project.
c) Recommend source controls and treatment controls that will be
implemented with this project to avoid contact or filter said
pollutants from storm water to the maximum extent practicable
before discharging to City right-of-way, sensitive habitat or natural
water course.
d) Show low impact design (LID) features incorporated into the
project.
e) Establish specific procedures for handling spills and routine clean
up. Special considerations and effort shall be applied to resident
education on the proper procedures for handling clean up and
disposal of pollutants.
f) Outline property owner testing and maintenance requirements for
all post-construction BMPs to ensure their effectiveness.
g) Provide hydraulic/hydrologic calculations to verify that numeric
sizing criteria is met for filtration/treatment of the site.
2. Provide a hydrology study that addresses the proposed storm drain
system, detention system sizing, pre and post-development run-off
figures, inlet sizing, etc.
3. Revise the exhibits to incorporate all water quality measures (treatment
control and Low Impact Design (LID) measures). Identified In the Storm
Water Management Plan (SWMP).
4. Show all existing and/or proposed topography and drainage patterns for
the site including existing off-site drainage system that this project
discharges into. Revise the plans to indicate how on-site surface runoff is
controlled.
5. Show existing contours to cover at least 50' beyond the property lines or
to cover sufficient area to show drainage area affecting the site.
6. Indicate the volume of grading (cut, fill, import, export, remedial) proposed
for the project in cubic yards. It appears a grading permit will be required
for this project.
Gauyule's Grill

7. Show all existing surface improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving,
access-holes, inlets, power poles, street lights, adjacent driveways, vaults,
transformers, etc.) along Carlsbad Blvd. and Christiansen Way.
8. Please indicate all existing and proposed utilities (i.e., storm drain, water,
sewer, etc.) that will serve the development. Indicate gravity flow of sewer
facilities by showing invert elevations.
9. Please identify the proposed Lot Line Adjustment of adjacent parcel (APN
303-172-14 & 15) and whether the existing lots will be merged or kept as-
is. Some of the access and parking may impact property lines and
reciprocal easement rights. The project may function better as one
property, which is why merging may be considered. Staff is available to
discuss this further.
10. Provide street cross sections with right of way information for Carlsbad
Blvd, and Christiansen Way. It appears that additional dedication may be
required to provide right of way for Carlsbad Blvd. and for the curb return
at Christiansen Way.
11. Add the project application number (RP 08-61) to the upper right comer of
the site plan.
General Engineering Concerns:
1. The proposed site plan does not show adequate information. Please be
advised that in order to make a more in-depth review of the proposed
development, a more complete design ofthe project is required.
2. Identify the existing finished floor elevation of adjacent structures (or
elevations just next to the structures). This requirement demonstrates how
the project relates to existing adjacent development.
3. Recommend source control and treatment control best management
practices (BMPs) that will be implemented with this project. Stormwater
pollutants from the project must be treated to the maximum extent
practicable before exiting the project site and discharging to City right-of-
way or existing public storm drain system.
4. Incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) as part of the project design.
Show all proposed storm water BMPs and LID on the site plan.
5. Meet with the Fire Department to identify the necessary fire protection
measures required for this project (access, fire hydrants, sprinkler system,
etc.).
6. Revise the exhibits to show the loading zones that each building will have.
We understand new parking stalls are proposed where old loading zones
are, but will existing loading zones remain? Please callout on the plans.
7. The proposed location of trash enclosure has a conflict with proposed
parking. Call-out enclosures per Carlsbad Standard drawing GS-16.
8. Please comply with all other comments shown on the red-lined plans.

Dear Mr. Foss,
RE: Professional Mechanical Engineer for Guayole Grill Restaurant Project
I am a local California-registered professional mechanical engineer, #M27436. This letter is to simply
inform you that I have been engaged to provide mechanical design and engineer's stamp for the project
known as Guayole's Grill, 2780 Carlsbad Blvd.
I will be providing plumbing, HVAC and Title 24 energy services.
Sachin Parlikar, the architectural designer on the project asked me to notify you of my involvement.
Although the name of my company indicated on this letterhead highlights my energy & water efficiency
work, in fact I have provided stamped designs for approximately eight restaurants in the San Diego area
during the past few years (though none I recall in Carlsbad.)
Feel free to call me as the project progresses for any reason.
Regards,
David McKinley P.E.

MEMORANDUM
January 2, 2009
TO: Laura Robins, Housing and Redevelopment
FROM: Clyde Wickham, Engineering
SUBJECT: RP 08-61, GAUYULE'S GRILL
APN 203-172-14
Engineering Department staff has completed a review of the application submittal
documents for application completeness. The application and plans submitted for this
project are incomplete. Prior to next submittal, it is suggested the following items are
adequately addressed.
Incomplete Items
1. As part of the formal application, prepare and submit a Storm Water Standards
Questionnaire to determine storm water priority status. This must be signed by the
applicant/owner. From staffs cursory review this qualifies as a priority project for water
quality, therefore a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) must be prepared and
submitted to:
a) Identify post-development on-site pollutants-of-concern.
b) Identify the hydrologic unit this project contributes to and impaired water bodies
that would be impacted by this project.
c) Recommend source controls and treatment controls that will be implemented with
this project to avoid contact or filter said pollutants from storm water to the
maximum extent practicable before discharging to City right-of-way, sensitive
habitat or natural water course.
d) Show low impact design (LID) features incorporated into the project.
e) Establish specific procedures for handling spills and routine clean up. Special
considerations and effort shall be applied to resident education on the proper
procedures for handling clean up and disposal of pollutants.
f) Outline property owner testing and maintenance requirements for all post-
construction BMPs to ensure their effectiveness.
g) Provide hydraulic/hydrologic calculations to verify that numeric sizing criteria is
met for filtration/treatment of the site.
2. Provide a hydrology study that addresses the proposed storm drain system, detention
system sizing, pre and post-development run-off figures, inlet sizing, etc.
3. Revise the exhibits to incorporate all water quality measures (treatment control and Low
Impact Design (LID) measures), identified in the Storm Water Management Plan
(SWMP).
RP 08-61, Gauyules Gr~ Page 2 of 3
4. Show all existing and/or proposed topography and drainage patterns for the site including
existing off-site drainage system that this project discharges into. Revise the plans to
indicate how on-site surface runoff is controlled.
5. Show existing contours to cover at least 50' beyond the property lines or to cover
sufficient area to show drainage area affecting the site.
6. Indicate the volume of grading (cut, fill, import, export, remedial) proposed for the project
in cubic yards. It appears a grading permit will be required for this project.
7. Show all existing surface improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving, access-holes,
inlets, power poles, street lights, adjacent driveways, vaults, transformers, etc.) along
Carlsbad Blvd. and Christiansen Way.
8. Please indicate all existing and proposed utilities (i.e., storm drain, water, sewer, etc.)
that will serve the development. Indicate gravity flow of sewer facilities by showing invert
elevations.
9. Please identify the proposed Lot Line Adjustment of adjacent parcel (APN 303-172-14 &
15) and whether the existing lots will be merged or kept as-is. Some of the access and
parking may impact property lines and reciprocal easement rights. The project may
function better as one property, which is why merging may be considered. Staff is
available to discuss this further.
10. Provide street cross sections with right of way information for Carlsbad Blvd, and
Christiansen Way. It appears that additional dedication may be required to provide right
of way for Carlsbad Blvd. and for the curb return at Christiansen Way.
11. Add the project application number (RP 08-61) to the upper right corner of the site plan.
Engineering Concerns
General
1. The proposed site plan does not show adequate information. Please be advised that in
order to make a more in-depth review of the proposed development, a more complete
design ofthe project is required.
2. Identify the existing finished floor elevation of adjacent structures (or elevations just next
to the structures). This requirement demonstrates how the project relates to existing
adjacent development.
3. Recommend source control and treatment control best management practices (BMPs)
that will be implemented with this project. Stormwater pollutants from the project must be
treated to the maximum extent practicable before exiting the project site and discharging
to City right-of-way or existing public storm drain system.
4. Incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) as part of the project design. Show all
proposed storm water BMPs and LID on the site plan.
RP 08-61, Gauyules GnW Page 3 of 3
5. Meet with the Fire Department to identify the necessary fire protection measures required
forthis project (access, fire hydrants, sprinkler system, etc.).
6. Revise the exhibits to show the loading zones that each building will have. We
understand new parking stalls are proposed where old loading zones are, but will existing
loading zones remain? Please callout on the plans.
7. The proposed location of trash enclosure has a conflict with proposed parking. Call-
out enclosures per Carlsbad Standard drawing GS-16.
8. Please comply with all other comments shown on the red-lined plans.
9. Revise the plan to indicate the ADT (traffic), EDU's (sewer), GPM (potable water)
generated or required by the proposed development. Storm Drain Runoff and drainage
basin information is also requested to assist final review.
10. This preliminary review does not constitute a complete review of the proposed project
and additional items of concern may be identified upon formal project application
submittal. Please be advised that in order to make a more in-depth review of the
proposed development, a more complete design ofthe project is required.
11. Applicant will be required to bring the entire building to current code requirements as part
of any renovations. For further information, contact the Building Department.
An engineering redlined check print is enclosed for the applicants use in making the requested
revisions. This check print should be returned with the formal application submittal to
facilitate continued staff review.
If you or the applicant has any questions, please either see or call me at 760-602-2742.
