DATE: JUNE 3, 1992
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: RP 92-6/CDP 92-5 - MAXTON BROWN PARK IMPROVEMENTS - Request for
a Minor Redevelopment Permit and Coastal Development Permit to install
curb and sidewalk along the north side of Laguna Drive and east side of
State Street fronting Maxton Brovm Park Sub-Area 6 of the Village
Redevelopment Zone.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Design Review Board ADOPT Design Review Board Resolution No. 189
APPROVING Minor Redevelopment Permit 92-6 and ADOPT Design Review Board
Resolution No. 190 APPROVING Coastal Development Permit 92-5 based upon the findings
and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESGRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The city's Engineering Department is proposing to improve that portion of public right-of-
way fronting Maxton Brown Park along Laguna Drive and State Street by installing a curb
and sidewalk. Although not a part of this proposal, existing overhead utility lines fronting
the park are anticipated to be placed underground by San Diego Gas & Electric beginning
late summer, early fall.
Because these improvements are proposed within the Village Redevelopment Area and the
Local Coastal Zone, a Redevelopment Permit and Califomia Coastal Development Permit
is required. More specifically, this proposal is being processed as a Minor Redevelopment
Pennit according to Carlsbad Municipal Code Subsection 21.35.080(b) which states that
"requests not involving a structural change" shall be considered minor in nature and shall
receive approval from the Design Review Board prior to project development. A Coastal
Development Permit is required pursuant to Subsection 21.81.020 which states that "no
development shall occur in the coastal zone without a permit having first been issued."
The Planning Commission has determined on December 18, 1991 that the sidewalk
improvements at this site are consistent with the General Plan through adoption of
PCD/GPC 91-2 titled the "1991 Capital Improvement Program". Section 65401 of the
Califomia Govemment Code requires a finding for General Plan consistency for all public
works projects.

III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1. Are the proposed improvements consistent with the intent and purpose of the
Village Area Redevelopment Plan and Village Design Manual?
DISCUSSION
Village Area Redevelopment Plan and Design Manual Consistency
One of the Village Area Redevelopment Plan's objectives is to provide "pedestrian and
bicycle access to open areas". By providing pedestrian access to Maxton Brown Park, this
objective will be achieved.
The Design Manual emphasizes that the "Village Redevelopment Area shall manifest a
strong pedestrian orientation" with "safe, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian
ways". By providing curb and sidewalk to separate pedestrians from traffic, the proposed
improvements are providing a more convenient and safer method of travel.
SUMMARY
The proposed sidewalk and curb improvements will benefit the community by providing
a safe, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian way. The improvements are
consistent with the Village Area Redevelopment Plan and Village Design Manual, and
therefore, staff recommends adoption of Design Review Board Resolution Nos. 189 and 190
APPROVING Redevelopment Permit 92-6 and Coastal Development Permit 92-5.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from the Califomia Environmental Quality Act per Class 4, Section
15304 and no environmental review is required. The Planning Director has issued a Notice
of Exemption dated June 3, 1992.
