Home My WebLink AboutRP 86-21; California Builders; Redevelopment Permits (RP) (2)JULY 1990 ^^^"^ FOR VOBR JULY 19, 1990 INFOfiMATION TO: RON BALL, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY FROM: ASSOCIATE PLANNER VIA: ADRIENNE LANDERS, SENIOR PLANNER REQUEST POR MODIFICATION OP CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR OFFICE BUILDING AT 785 GRAND As we discussed on the telephone yesterday, Charles Rowe has requested relief from condition #16 of Design Review Resolution No. 091. Resolution No. 091 was referred to in Resolution No. 083 of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission approving the office building at the corner of Jefferson and Grand. Condition No. 16 States: **This project is approved sxibject to the condition that no medical offices be allowed to occupy/lease any portion of the building. Should the applicant at a later date intend to lease any of the structure for medical office use, additional parking shall be required to be provided at a ratio of one space/200 sq.ft., of gross floor area." On March 15, 1989, Mr. Rowe went before the Design Review Board and asked relief from condition no. 16. The Design Review Board at that meeting approved the Grand Office Building renting 2100 square feet on the first floor to a medical group, provided 2100 square feet elsewhere in the building is left vacant until a parking district is formed. Recently a Dr. David Tracy, DDS., applied for a business license to locate his office in the building. At the time this business license was reviewed, it was determined that 4484 square feet of other medical uses were already present in the building, resulting in a parking shortage under the zoning ordinance of 13 spaces for the building as a whole. Due to the requirements of condition no. 16 of Design Review Board Resolution No. 091, as modified, and the parking shortage, Dr. Tracy's business license application could not be granted. Mr. Rowe has requested a hearing before the Design Review Board for relief from condition no. 16. Because Design Review Board Resolution No. 091 was incorporated by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission and because Mr. Rowe has already gone to the Design Review Board for relief, I am not sure if appeal to the Design Review Board is the proper procedure. Please advise. Thank you. .y ALAN SWEENEY y^^ Associate Planner arb City of Carlsbad July 13, 1990 Joe Keegan Carlsbad Grand Office Building 785 Grand Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 RE: SIGN PERMIT APPUCATION 90-61 Dear Mr. Keegan: This office has reviewed your request for a permit to construct a 4' x 6' two-sided plywood sign on a 2' X 4' frame at 785 Grand Avenue. On May 16, 1990, a neon commercial sign was approved for La Mar Chiropractic at 785 Grand on a temporary basis (SP 90-52). One of the conditions of approval for this temporary neon sign is that it be removed when other signage is proposed on the site. Please notify us when the temporary neon sign has been removed and we will then issue the permit for your two-sided plywood sign. Thank you.

HOLZMILLER, Planning Director FROM: ALAN SWEENEY, Associate Planner yfgf VIA: ADRIENNE LANDERS, Senior Planner SUBJECT: INFORMATION REPORT ON BUSINESS LICENSE REQUEST FOR DR. DAVID TRACY - 785 GRAND AVENUE Approval of the Redevelopment Permit (RP 86-21) for the building at 785 Grand Avenue contained a condition stating: "This project is approved subject to the condition that no medical offices be allowed to occupy/lease any portion of the building. Should the applicant at a later date intend to lease any of the structure for medical office use, additional parking shall be required to be provided at a ratio of one space/200 square feet of gross floor area." Subsequently the applicant requested relief from this condition. In response to his request, the Design Review Board on a 5-0 vote passed the following motion: Design Review Board approved The Grand Office Building renting 2,100 square feet on the first floor to a medical group, provided 2,100 square feet elsewhere in the building is left vacant until a parking district is formed. Dr. Tracy's business license request was reviewed for compliance with the above condition and motion. Based upon information supplied by the building owner, (copy attached) Charles Rowe, the following uses were present at the time of the business license application: SUITE SIZE IN SQUARE FEET TENANT 100 1181 Beverly Investment Group 101 2011 Spring Mountain Escrow 102 1880 Carlsbad Physical Therapy 200 1132 Transamerica 202 1387 Paul Kratka, Chiropractor 204 1142 Tom Flagg Engineering 206 1760 R.E.B.

Due to the project's conditions of approval, and due to the existing parking shortage, staff has recommended denial of this business license application. Upon being made aware of staff's analysis, Mr. Rowe requested that the dental office be allowed with the building owner being conditioned to pay a fee to a parking district in lieu of providing the actual parking spaces. He has also requested a hearing before the Design Review Board to discuss the possibility of allowing selected medical professions to occupy the building. (See attached July 6, 1990 letter from Charles Rowe to Patty Cratty.) It is Staff's opinion that allowing medical uses would require a Zoning Ordinance Amendment since it would change the ordinance's parking requirements.

In order to make sure that adequate parking is provided, please furnish us a set of floor plans showing office size, layout and occupancy for both floors ofyour building. This information is necessary in order for us to comply with the intent of the Design Review Board that medical uses be offset by an equal amount of vacant space until a parking district is formed.

Tracy, D.D.S 1716 Panorama Road Vista, CA 92083 Mr. Allan Sweeney City of Carlsbad Planning Department 20 75 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad, CA 92009 Dear Mr. Sweeney: As per our phone conversation today, I am writing you this letter regarding my Business License Application to the City of Carlsbad with respect to my parking requirements. My profession is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. My practice will be unlike the practice of general dentistry and all other dental specialities in that my patient flow is much smaller. This is due primarily to the fact that I will be the sole health care provider in my practice. In contrast to other dental practices, I will not employ hygienists or dental assistants with specialized training which would allow them to treat patients without my direct supervision. As a result of my decreased patient flow due to my specialized practice, my parking requirements are not as demanding at that of my fellow colleagues. I am hopeful that this information will expedite my application for a license. Very truly yours, ^^/Tyt^ David J. Tracy ,^ D.D.S . .

We have another office in in San Diego. This office in Carlsbad will be utilized only two (2) mornings per week with the absolute maximum of five (5) patients. Sincerely, Dr. Alkar By PETER J.

I believe the main reason for this has been the overall vacancy factor throughout the City of Carlsbad, especially along Palomar Airport Road. We have a medical group who is very interested in leasing Suite 101 which consists of twenty one hundred (2100) square feet. This medical group is currently located in downtown Carlsbad and would like to move due to the likelihood of their existing location being redeveloped. We are very close to their existing location, therefore moving to our building would not cause a disruption to their patient medical services. By accommodating a medical group, we would not be in conformance with Design Review Board Resolution 091 Condition #16. We formally request a hearing date before the Design Review Board to address this matter. Incidentally, the parking spaces required between office and medical are four (4) additional spaces. Your most urgent attention to this matter is requested. I truly believe the longer our building goes unleased, the harder it will be for other projects in downtown Carlsbad. Charles F.

We have erected leasing banners to encourage the leasing of the building. I hereby request that the leasing banners be allowed to remain in place until we are sufficiently leased to remove them. Approximately 90% of our inquiries are direct results of the banners. In our current estimation, we should be able to remove the banners in three to six months, although we sincerely would like to be able to remove them sooner.
