RE: RP 14-07-MAYUR'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT
The City has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Review Permit RP 14-07 to allow
an existing retail and office space to be used as a restaurant located at 530 Grand Avenue Suite "A", in
District 1 of the Village Review (V-R) Zone, and in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. A notice was sent
to property owners within a 300' radius of the subject property requesting comments regarding the above
request. No comments were received within the ten day notice period (ending on April22, 2014).
It is the City Planner's determination that the project, RP 14-07 -Mayur's Mexican Restaurant, is
consistent with the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual and with all other applicable City
ordinances and policies. The City Planner, therefore APPROVES this request based on the following:
Findings:
1. The City Planner has determined that the project is consistent with the policies, goals and action
programs set forth within the Carlsbad General Plan in that the restaurant complements the
existing commercial and residential uses in the pedestrian-oriented downtown Village.
2. The City Planner has determined that the project is consistent with Chapter 21.35 (Village Review
Zone) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and all applicable development standards and land use
policies set forth within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual in that the restaurant will be
located in a vacant suite within an existing building containing a mix of uses including two
salons, a retail store and a real estate office. The project will convert a former retail and office
suite into a restaurant that will provide additional dining to the pedestrian oriented Village
Master Plan area. There are no anticipated impacts to the nearby residents as a result of the
use locating in the existing, vacant suite. No additional parking is required for the change of use
pursuant to the "Converting Use" policy in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual for
projects located outside of the Coastal Zone.
3. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15301 -Existing Facilities, of the state CEQA Guidelines. In
making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section
15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
