SUBJECT: RP 2018-0010 (DEV13008) -CARLSBAD DANCE CENTRE EXPANSION -Request for
approval of an Administrative Review Permit (RP 2018-0010) to allow for the change of
use from retail to a dance school for the Carlsbad Dance Centre's expansion at 2808
Roosevelt Street, in District 1 of the Village Review Zone and Local Facilities Management
Zone 1.
Dear Mr. Romaine,
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Review Permit (RP
2018-0010) to allow for the change in use of a retail space to a dance school as part of the expansion for
the Carlsbad Dance Centre at 2808 Roosevelt Street. A notice was sent to property owners within a 300-
foot radius of the subject property requesting comments regarding the above proposal. No comments
were received within the ten (10) day notice period (08/03/2018ending on July 27, 2018). After careful
consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the City Planner has determined that the
five findings required for granting an Administrative Review Permit can be made and therefore,
APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. The total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000.
2. 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 dance school provides a resident-
serving use and complements the existing commercial and residential uses in the pedestrian-
oriented downtown Village.
3. 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 additional parking that is
required by the dance school can be provided on site. The total required parking for all of the uses
in the Roosevelt Center is 120 parking spaces, and there are 149 parking spaces provided.
Additionally, there are no anticipated impacts to the surrounding commercial and residential uses.

4. The City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303, Class 3, of the State CEQA Guidelines as the
project involves the conversion of an existing small structure from one use to another where only
minor modifications are made to the structure and will not have any adverse significant impacts on
the environment.
5. The City Planner has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this
approval, 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.

this proposed development, must be met prior to approval of a building permit.

2. If any of the following conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be implemented and

July 30, 2028. This permit may be revoked at any time after an informal public hearing, 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 met. This permit may be extended for a
reasonable period of time not to exceed ten (10} years, unless determined otherwise by the City
Planner per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.42.110, upon written application of the permittee
made no less than 90 days prior to the expiration date. The City planner may not grant such extension,
unless it finds that there are no substantial negative effects on surrounding land uses or the public's
health and welfare. If a substantial negative effect on surrounding land uses or the public's health
and welfare is found, the extension shall be denied or granted with conditions which will eliminate or
substantially reduce such effects. There is no limit to the number of extensions the City planner may
grant.
Engineering:
