Proiect Design: The project should be completely redesigned eiiher to eliminate the two slory vertical blank walls on the north and south elevations; or lo integrate these elements comprehensively into the overall design while still retaining the project's amenities. 2. Land Use: The floor plans and layout of the proposed project appear to suggest some type of food service use. This use would not be allowed since the site cannot accommodate the required parking. This issue should be considered in the redesign of the projeci. 3. Parking: The proposed retail use of 3,000 square feet would require 10 parking spaces. The proposed two car garage is unacceptable as it would privatize those spaces and promote the potential of conversion to retail and/or storage use. The code does not allow compact and regular spaces to share the same parking aisle. On the site plan on the project dala summary table, compact spaces can just be noted with a dimension of 8 x 17. 4. Exhibits: The dimensions of the wesl side of the project do not match up belween the site plan and west elevation. Also atiached is a redlined copy of the proposed landscape plan. Please retum it wilh your resubmittal to assist us in our review. ENGINEERING: 1. Show the projeci ADT on the site plan. 2. Show the exisling driveway approach on Roosevelt Street as being removed and replaced with standard sidewalks, curb and gutter. 3. Textured paving is shown as being proposed in the public right of way sidewalk area. All cast in place paving or sidewalk must be standard. The use of paving blocks may be proposed. 4. Also altached is a redlined checkprint of the site plan. This plan must be relumed with your resubmittal to assist us in our continued review. • REDEVELOPMENT: 1. The Redevelopment Department supports the project proposed by the applicanl.

Parking ^ . ^ . The deck area should be included in the gross building square footage for calculating parking requirements, as it could function as an outdoor dining area for a restaurant. . If there will be doors on the building labeled "garage" it must be included in the gross^ square footage for parking requirements. - ^^^^ /^A^ /U^£^yuZ^ a^^c.^9c.</^a^c^s^ ^TL^^U^ The Zoning Ordinance permits up to 25% of the required parking spaces to be compact. Ten spaces are required so 2 compact are allowed, but 4 are proposed. City Council approval is required for four compact spaces. 2. Elevations The flat parapet walls along the side property lines continue to be a concern. To improve the side elevations, carry the design elements from the east elevation around to the north and south elevations. The building code lists two ways this could be done. They are: a. Use a 2 hour fire-resistant roof or a roof constructed entirely of noncombustible material. This would allow the pitched and gabled roof treatment to be used on the side - elevations as well as, the^ front ^^^^evat^^ ,:^:^3i£^e4^^^ ^ ytcc^T/K^ yU^^Tx^a^T/^^ yf^a^ ^ the building director may grant an exception allowing openings in the side elevation walls. This will allow the use of windows and doors on the side elevations. 3. Site Plan Call out number of square feet of planting area on the ground. Proposal exceeds allowable lot coverage. 4. Conclusion Redesign the project to address the concerns listed above If you prefer not to redesign, take the current design to the Design Review Board and Housing and Redevelopment Commission MEMORANDUM A^ '^''/'^ TO: Patty Cratty, Redevelopment Department FROM: Alan Sweeney, Planning Department DATE: MARCH 20, 1991 SUBJECT: REVIEW OF GAMETOWNE CONCEPTUAL PLANS RECEIVED 3/11/91 The Planning Department has reviewed the floor plans, site plan and elevations submitted 3/11/91. The proposal fails to comply with the Village Design Manual in the following respects: 1. Based on the dimensions shown, the gross building square footage is 3 315.. At a parking requirement of 1 space per 3 00 square feet, 12 spaces are required; 10 are proposed. 2. No overhang is allowed for compact parking spaces. 3. Compact parking spaces must be located in separate aisles from standard sized spaces, or in the same aisle separated by a planter. 4. Dimensions of landscaped areas should be called out. Some do not meet the Village Design Manual requirements of a minimum 3 0" dimension exclusive of curbs. 5. The Village Design Manual states that building, parking and driveway coverage is limited to 80% of the lot area. The lot is 7000 square feet, allowing a 5600 square foot coverage; 5990 square feet of coverage is proposed. The Planning Department recommends that the following elements of the project be redesigned: 1. Create an interior courtyard to create interest and draw people in from the street. Eliminate the garage and put the building in a U-shape with a wider courtyard. 2. Alternatively, put the building in the center of the site and create space on the sides. This would eliminate the straight fire walls on the outside of each building. The Planning Department offers the following thoughts on policy affecting this project: 1. The central issue is parking. If the ordinance is followed, the site cannot accommodate all required parking and a reasonably- sized building. This may force a lesser quality project. The parking requirements for the downtown area may need to be reduced. 2. Perhaps an interim policy can be formulated to deal with uses like this while the parking standards are being reviewed. Three suggestions are: A. Deny projects until the new parking requirement is in place. B. Devise a creative method of allowing parking off-site as contemplated by the Redevelopment Plan and Village Design Manual. C. Allow parking variances if that is possible. If not, an amendment to the zone code may be necessary to allow different parking standards. The Planning Department will be glad to assist in devising a policy to govern parking issues in the interim while a new parking standard is established. Post-It™ brandifctnsmittal memo 7671 |#O»P«9«« • I ^^^^ Fax# February 13, 1991 TO: CITY MANAGER FROM: Housing and Redevelopment Director GAMETOWNE PROPOSAL Gametowne is an existing games and puzzles retail store located adjacent to the redevelopment offices at 2933 Roosevelt Street. The current owners, Clark & Mrs. Knapp purchased the property in May of 1989. The property profile is as follows: LOT SIZE 1990 ASSESSOR VALUE LAND IMPROVEMENTS 140 X 50= 7,000 sq. Ft. $27,921 $26,386 $ 1,535 The property is u not carry or sell available for the at best and the 5 enhancing the Vii also operate othe they have a store elstablish a first discussed the opt sed as a game and puzzle retail store. It does video games and does not have video machines public. The existing structures are tear down 00 sq.Ft. building currently used is not lage Redevelopment Project Area. The owners V Gametowne stores in California, most notably in Old Towne San Diego. The owners wish to class retail store in Carlsbad and have ions with city staff since 1989. Their proposal includes demolition of the existing structures and new construction of retail space in the bavarian style. The specifics are as follows: PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT VALUE -2300 sq. ft. Building $115,000 4700 sq. ft. landscaping 47,000 TOTAL $163,000 Benefits to the City/Agency include the following: • 1) Annual Tax Increment Increase $1630 • 2) Jobs/Employment Increase Existing 1.4 Jobs New 6.5 Jobs (1 Job per 350 sq. ft. of conmercial/retail space) • 3) Annual Sales Tax Increase $1800 Existing $1 per sq. ft. x 500=$500 New e $1 per sq. ft. X2300=$2300 (plus residual efflployee spending in the area) • 4) Retention/Enhancement of exiating business • 5) EncourageHent of unique/creative uses to draw customers into the project area (only gane store downtown) Applicant has presented proposals to the Design Review Board and recently met with four of five Council Members with Marty Orenyak (Council Member Stanton excepted-conflict of interest) Due to the small lot size, one that is prevalent in the downtown area, owner unable to accommodate parking required by increased square footage. This is sort of a catch 22, in order to make the development work economically the owner must achieve a minimum net leasable space. The minimum square footage economically would require 8 parking spaces (ratio 300 sq. ft. to one parking space. The applicant is deficient 1 space. The Design Review Noard has stated that it will not recommend approval of projects that are conditioned to meet parking requirements by using public parking lots and requested staff to take their concern forward. It is included as part of the master plan. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission has two options to assist the owner in this case. 1) Up to 40% of required parking may be compact size (8x17) > rather than (9x20) 2) Commission may allow owner to count public parking for required parking is it is located within close proximity. The city public parking lot of over 100 spaces is located within 30 feet of this site. The policy of the commission has considered parking within 300 feet to be in close proximity. I have been advised that the commission has utilized both options on previous projects. Please advise if this information if sufficient. KATHY L. GRAHAM :al
