SUBJECT: RP 94-04 - ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND - Request to approve a Minor
Redevelopment Permit to allow installation and operation of a flower stand at
2815 Jefferson Street.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Design Review Board APPROVE Resolution No. 232 approving a
Minor Redevelopment Permit to allow a flower stand for a lunited period of time at 2815
Jefferson Street in the Village Redevelopment Area.
n. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant, Mr. Silvino Alvarez, through his attomey Mr. Richard MacGum, submitted a
request for a minor redevelopment permit to allow the installation and operation of a flower
stand on the property located at 2815 Jefferson Street in the Village Redevelopment Area.
The application was submitted as the result of a violation notice for the presence of the
unpermitted flower stand. Staff has been working with the applicant and his attomey since
the date of the violation notice (12/27/93) to submit the documents necessary to request a
minor redevelopment permit to allow the continued use of the flower stand.
The flower stand represents a retail use within Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area.
Retail shops are permitted by right within Subarea 1 as long as they receive the appropriate
permits and licenses for operation purposes. The building stmcture proposed for the flower
stand includes the building (120 sq.ft) and a patio area with an overhang (300 sq.ft.); the
total building stmcture size is 420 square feet. Building permits are required for any building
stmcture over 120 square feet in size. A minor redevelopment permit is required to approve
the land use (retail) and the stmcture installed/constmcted on the site.
When the formal application for the subject project was received and deemed complete for
continued processing, staff indicated to the applicant and his attorney that the flower stand
use was not considered by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency to be the highest and best
use for the property and could not be supported by staff as a long term use for the property.
Additionally, staff expressed the opinion that the design of the flower stand stmcture was not
RP 94-04
August 16, 1995
Page 2
consistent with Village standards for a permanent stmcture on the site. However, since the
property owner is currently in the process of trying to sell the subject property and it is
assumed that the flower stand continues to represent only a temporary use of the property,
staff outlined two options which could be supported for continued operation of the flower
stand on the subject site.
The two options are as follows:
1. If the applicant is able to obtain the required building permits for the building
stmcture currently on the site at 420 square feet and makes the necessary
improvements to comply with the building code, staff will recommend a maximum
five (5) year period for operation of the flower stand. This recommendation
recognizes the fact that to bring the stmcture into compliance with the existing
building codes, the applicant will be required to complete substantial improvements to
the building stmcture which could be quite costly. Therefore, if the property owner
allows the applicant to operate the flower stand on the subject property for five (5)
years, the Redevelopment Agency is willing to allow the continued operation of the
flower stand for five (5) years as well.
2. If the applicant is not able to obtain the required building permits for the 420 square
foot building stmcture as proposed, the building stmcture size must be reduced to 120
square feet with no overhang stmcture. Under this option, it is staff's opinion that the
period of permitted time for operation of the flower stand should be reduced to no
more than two (2) years. Since the applicant has already been allowed to operate for
over a year without the appropriate permits, staff originally indicated to the applicant
that only one (1) additional year of operation could be supported by staff. However,
after further consideration, staff feels that a two (2) year period of time can be
supported for continued operation of the flower stand with a building stmcture which
does not exceed 120 square feet in size.
in. vn .T .AnF DESIGN MANUAL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CONSISTENCY
As mentioned above, the proposed retail use is consistent with the Village Design Manual
and Redevelopment Plan for the Village Redevelopment Area. The proposed site for the
flower retail stand is located within Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area. The uses
allowed in this area are the same as those allowed within the C-1, C-2 and R-P zones as
indicated in the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The uses permitted by right include retail shops.
The property is located outside the Coastal Zone.

IV. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the various elements of the General
Plan. One of the goals of the City for the Village Redevelopment Area is to create a distinct
identity for the Village by encouraging activities that traditionally locate in a pedestrian-
oriented downtown area, including offices, restaurants and specialty retail shops such as
flower stands. Although staff does not believe that the proposed flower stand is the highest
and best use for the subject property on a long term or permanent basis, the temporary use
(no longer than five years) of the site for the flower stand is consistent with the objective of
creating a sense of community within the Village and is an allowed use for the site.
The proposed project meets the goals and objectives of the Carlsbad General Plan, as
outlined for the Village Redevelopment Area.
V. PARKING ANALYSIS AND ZONING ORDINANCE COMPUANCE
The flower stand has a total parking requirement of two (2) spaces. The applicant will be
able to provide for two (2) parking spaces on-site as required.
In addition to meeting the zoning standards for parking, the proposed project meets all other
standards outlined with the Zoning Ordinance.
VI. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Department has conducted an environmental review of the above described
project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the Califomia Environmental
Quality Act and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result
of said review, the Planning Department has made a determination that the flower stand
qualifies as an exempt project under Section 15303(c) of the CEQA regulations.
vn. CONCLUSION
As stated previously, staff does not believe that the proposed flower stand is the highest and
best use for the subject property on a long term basis. However, the flower stand does
provide for a use which is allowed in Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area.
Therefore, staff is able to support this project and recommends that the flower stand be
allowed with a limit on the maximum period of time for operation. Staff recommends that the
Design Review Board take action to approve the minor redevelopment permit related to this
project and subject to the conditions contained therein.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/EXPLANATION
PROJECTNAME: Alvarez Flower Stand
APPUCANT NAME: Silvino Alvarez
Please describe fully the proposed projecL Include any details necessary to adequately
explain the scope ar.j/or operation of the proposed project. You may also include any
background information and supporting statements regarding the reasons for. or
appropriateness of. the application. Use an addendum sheet if necessary.
Description/Explanation.
The 2815 Jefferson Street site is a previously developed
residential site, now levelled and undeveloped, located one-half
block north of Grand Avenue and one block east of Madison within
the Carlsbad Redevelopment Area. The site has been listed for sale
with CB Commercial Realtors.
With the support of the owners and the realtor, the proposed
project provides an interim use for the lot while it lays vacant
prior to sale. Mr. Alvarez proposes to produce and sell flowers at
the site on a small scale. His presence will provide the community
with the aesthetic amenity of the site's gardens and with quality,
reasonably priced, locally produced cut flowers, while deterring
the vagrancy and vandalism commonly associated with vacant
property.
The proposed use is ideal for the Jefferson location. The
flower stand and gardens are oriented to pedestrian traffic, yet
are easily accessible to vehicular traffic. Ninety seven percent
of the project is devoted to open space, providing a "green belt"
in the developed neighborhood, and adding to the semi-rural feel
associated with the "Village" theme of Carlsbad's Redevelopment

DRB RESO. NO. 232
Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT IIEREBY RESOLVED, by the Design
Review Board as follows:
1. That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
2. That based on the evidence presented at the public meeting, the Design
Review Board hereby APPROVES Minor Redevelopment Permit, RP
94-04, based on the following findings and subject to the following
conditions:
FINDINGS:
1. That the Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from the
requirements of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section
15303 of the state CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant
impact on the environment.
2. The Project qualifies as a Minor Redevelopment Permit under Chapter 21.35
of the Carlsbad Municipal Code because the project involves a structural
change which costs less than $50,000.
3. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the various elements
of the General Plan because it assists in the effort to create a distinct identity
for the Village Redevelopment Area by encouraging activities that traditionally
locate in a pedestrian-oriented downtown area, including offices, restaurants
and specialty retail shops.
4. The project is consistent with the City-wide Facilities and Improvements Plan,
the applicable local facilities management plan, and all City public facility
policies and ordinances since:
The project has been conditioned to ensure that building permits will
not be issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines
that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the
project unless sewer service remains available, and the District
Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities
Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to
sewer service for this project.
b) All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required
as a condition of approval.
DRB Resolution No. 232
Page 3
c) The Developer has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an
appropriate condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that
contract and payment of the fee will enable this body to find that public
facilities will be available concurrent with need as required by the
General Plan.
5. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or
new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any
additional requirements established by the Local Facilities Management Plan
prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will
ensure continued availability of public facilities.
6. This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as
part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1.
7. The project is consistent with the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan
and the Village Design Manual because it will continue to provide for a
temporary use which is an encouraged use and is permitted by right within
Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Project Area, if it has received all
applicable permits and licenses.
8. The project is in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code as demonstrated by the processing of the appropriate
discretionary permits, maintenance of compatibility with surrounding land
uses, and the provision of adequate parking and landscaping.
9. The Design Review Board has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the
Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the
exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to
the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough
proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
CONDITIONS:
The Design Review Board does hereby approve the Minor Redevelopment
Permit, RP 94-04, for the project entitled "Alvarez Flower Stand". (Exhibits
"A" & "B", dated June 5, 1995, are on file in the Housing and Redevelopment
Department), subject to the conditions herein set forth. Staff is authorized and
directed to make or require the Developer to make all corrections and
modifications to the Minor Redevelopment Permit documents, as necessary to
make them internally consistent and conform to the Design Review Board's
final action on the project. Development shall occur substantially as shown
DRB Resolution No. 232
Page 4
on the approved exhibits, with the exception that the overhang/patio portion of
the building structure, which is equal to three hundred (300) square feet of
building structure, shall be removed if the applicant is unable to meet
applicable building codes related to the entire building structure of four
hundred twenty (420) square feet. By this Resolution, the applicant is
permitted to reduce the total building structure size to one hundred twenty
(120) square feet if deemed necessary and appropriate to obtain approvals for
the subject building structure from the City's Building Official. Any proposed
development substantially different from this approval shall require an
amendment to the approval.
If any of the foregoing conditions fails to occur; or, if they are, by their
terms, to be implemented and maintained over time; if any such conditions fail
to be so implemented and maintained according to their terms, the
Redevelopment Agency shall have the right to revoke or modify all approvals
herein granted; deny or further condition issuance of all future building
permits; deny, revoke or further condition all certificates of occupancy issued
under the authority of approvals herein granted; institute and prosecute
litigation to compel their compliance with said conditions or seek damages for
their violation. No vested rights are gained by Developer or a successor in
interest by the Agency's approval of this Resolution.
The Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state and
local ordinances in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
The Developer shall provide the Agency with a reproducible 24" X 36", mylar
copy of the Site Plan as approved by the Design Review Board. The Site Plan
shall reflect the conditions of approval by the Agency. The plan copy shall be
submitted to the Planning Director and approved prior to building or grading
permit approval, whichever occurs first.
The Developer shall include, as part of the plans submitted for any permit plan
check or building official approval, a reduced, legible version of the approving
resolutions on a 24" X 36" blueline drawing.
If
Building permits will not be issued for development of the subject property
unless the District Engineer determines that sewer facilities are available at the
time of application for such sewer permits and will continue to be available
until time of occupancy.
DRB Resolution No.232
Page 5
7. The Developer shall pay the public facilities fee adopted by the City Council
on July 28, 1987 (amended July 2, 1991) and as amended from time to time,
and any development fees established by the City Council pursuant to Chapter
21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code or other ordinance adopted to
implement a growth management system or Facilities and Improvement Plan.
If the fees are not paid, this application will not be consistent with the General
Plan and approval for this project will be void.
8. This project shall comply with all conditions and mitigation measures which
may be required as part of the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan and
any amendments made to that Plan prior to the issuance of building permits for
this project, including but not limited to the following:
a) All development within Zone 1 shall pay the required Carlsbad
Municipal Water District Fees, if applicable.
9. No outdoor storage of material shall occur onsite unless required by the Fire
Chief. In such instance, a storage plan will be submitted for approval by the
Fire Chief and the Plaiming Director.
10. This Minor Redevelopment Permit is granted for a period of five (5) years if,
and only if, the proposed building structure of four hundred (420) square feet
receives all of the applicable building permits and licenses from the City of
Carlsbad. This Minor Redevelopment Permit is granted for a period of only
two (2) years, if the building structure is reduced to one hundred twenty (120)
square feet through the permitted elimination of the overhang/patio portion of
the building structure and no building permits are subsequently required for the
project. This Minor Redevelopment Permit shall be reviewed by the Housing
and Redevelopment Director on a yearly basis to determine if all conditions of
the permit have been met and that the use does not have a substantial negative
effect on surrounding properties or the public health and welfare. If the
Housing and Redevelopment Director determines that the use has such
substantial negative effects, the Housing and Redevelopment Director shall
recommend that the Design Review Board, after providing the permittee the
opportunity to be heard, add additional conditions to reduce or eliminate the
substantial negative effects. This permit may be revoked at any time after
action by the Design Review Board at a public meeting, if it is found that the
use has a substantial detrimental effect on surrounding land uses and the
public's health and welfare, or the conditions imposed herein have not been

Per Gary Wayne's directions, I am forwarding the project file for the above-referenced project
application to you. The project was deemed complete for review on January 9, 1995. At that
time a "Please review and comment" memo was routed to the various departments. All responses
received are in the project file.
The Plaiming Department has completed initial review of the application. This application was
submitted as the result of a violation notice for the presence of the unpermitted flower stand.
The flower stand appears to be a use allowed by right in Subarea 1 (pages 14-15 of the Village
Design Manual). For environmental (CEQA) purposes, the flower stand seems to qualify as an
exempt project under Section 15303(c). I originally requested that the applicant submit an EIA
Part I and the related fee. However, since the project is exempt, I have initiated a refimd of the
EIA review fee.
The Planning Department has identified two interrelated issues on the project. The first is
parking. If the stand is approved at the proposed 345 square feet (enclosed stmcture and covered
area), the parking requirement is two spaces. There is no room for two spaces on the site as it
is currently designed. If the stand could be moved to the north side of the lot, it might be
possible to provide the two required spaces on the south side of the lot. Sufficient turnaround
space would have to be provided so that the cars would not back out onto Jefferson. Since the
stand has no concrete fotmdation or plumbing, this option may be feasible. The second issue is
the building size. Pat Kelly has indicated (memo in file) that the project exceeds the size allowed
for a stmcture without a building permit (120 square feet maximum). He has requested that
either the structure size be reduced to 120 square feet ^ the applicant must obtain a building
permit. Obviously, if the stmcture is reduced to 120 square feet total, only one parking space
would be required, thus resolving the parking issue.
Last week the applicant instructed me to address all correspondence to him (the applicant) rather
than to the attomey. Apparently, the applicant is going to proceed on his own in the future.
Since he doesn't speak English, he communicates through Ms. Hope Torres. She can be reached
at the flower stand or at her home (434-6682).
I hope this adequately explains the current status of the project application. If you have any
questions, please call me at extension 4471.
