AND PARKING ACCESS ----
STATEMENT OF THE MATTER
At the request of the City Council, the Engineering Department arranged for
an independent analysis of the circulation plan for the Village Area Redevel
opment Plan. The consultant suggested that for the Village Area, the City
accept a design standard for traffic congestion that would give an average
overall speed.of between 10 and. 15 mph and would permit "tolerable" delays.
Based on this congestion standard, the consultant felt that ultimately two
full lanes in each direction would be required for Village Area streets.
He suggested that initially, parking could be permited on-street, but at
such time as delays and congestion become "intolerable" the on-street parkir
should be removed in favor of additional travel lanes. Finally, the consult
ant recommended that the City not yield control of existing right-of-way by
street vacation, but a1 low only narrowing of curb-to-curb dimensions and
utilize excess right-of-way for landscaping and other improvements whkh woi
not preclude eventusl widening.
' FISCAL IMPACT
The recommendations of the consultant would allow less on-street parking
and prohibit-relinquishment of rights-of-way for building area. Therefore,
less area would be available for building and more would have to be set
aside for parking and right-of-way.

The streetscape plan(2) identified for the Village Center contains renderings
and comments about the features being considered that could affect traffic
circulation,
from the renderings and are stated below:
Same of the elements of the streetscape have been interpreted
STREETSCAPE PLAN
Grand Ave - Narrow the ROW from 100' to 50'-60' for traffic,
create undulating traffic lanes, remove diagonal parking and
possibly replace with parallel parking, and a center divider
at the intersection with State.
State St - Closed south of Elm except for parking, change
diagonal parking to parallel between Elm and State and create
a center median in the same block, create a smaller curb-to-
curb distance at the intersections.
Elm St - Remove parking and create a median.
Roosevelt St - Narrow the ROW from 80' to 50'-60' and create
a median.
An "alternative" to the streetscape plan has been prepared and evaluated.
This alternative was developed during the traffic study and does not
relate to alternatives previously considered by city staff.
"alternative", it eliminates the use of non-traversable medians in order to
minimize the curb to curb width required. This can be applied to Grand Ave. 0:
State St. or both facilities. It consists of these elements:
Refered to as thc
ALTERNATIVE PLAN
Roosevelt/Elm - (as in streetscape plan)

Grand Ave./State St. - Narrow the curb to curb cross section as shown in
Figure 111, provide a traversable center lane using painted stripes at
the midblock to allow the passing of vehicles stopping for parking or for
left turn use. Create a wide lane in each direction with parallel parking
allowed. At the intersection of GrandlState provide three approach lanes,
aR eXCh8iVe left turn lane (protected by a curbed island in the center
of the street that terminates the traversable center lane), a through
lane and a right turn lane. The opposite direction has one generous lane
at the intersection. Parallel parking allowed.
At this time all of these streets and their intersections perform very well
during the peak period. Their levels-of-service(3) are at "A", based upon
calculations of the peak hour traffic and based upon observations during the
morning, noon and evening peaks. This is the best level of service associated
with free flow, ability to make turning movements and the lack of any vehicle
being unable to clear a signal during its phase of the cycle at signalized
intersections. At this time, the Village Area of Carlsbad does not have a
traffic congestion problem.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Either of the two concepts evaluated within this report can function to
serve the expected demnds in the future (Refer to Figure 111). The
streetscape plan that assumes a solid divider on State St. and an architectual
treatment dividing the two roadway directions of Grand Ave. where it meets
State St. has consequences. Those consequences are that in order to minimie
the width while at the same time keeping a symmetry to the arrangement of
lanes approaching and leaving the intersection parking would have to be
sacraficed under the ultimate demand.
An alternative that emphasizes minimizing curb to curb width employs
The use of a opposing left turn lanes at the intersection of State/Grand.
center lane in midblock to ease any congestion with one lane in each
direction, permits parking and the posibility of a landscaped treatment in the
street to separate the left turn lane from the midblock center lane.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS - STREETSCAPE PLAN
Grand Avenue - Create a facility that is 48' curb to curb, at midblock,
consisting of a 14' lane each way and nother 10' for parking
on each side. Later, when traffic volumes warrant, remove the
parking to obtain two 12' lanes each way. At the intersectior
with State St., create a median of 6' to 10' and two 12'
traffic lanes each way without parking for approximately 150'
back from the intersection on the WB side. Total curb to curt
width at the intersection would be 54' to 58'. Continue use 01
stop sign control at intersections with Roosevelt St. and
Madison St. until demand warrants signals.
State Street - At midblock a 54' to 58' wide (curb to curb) facility would be
direction with anther 10' for parking that, just like on Grand
Ave., can be removed to provide two 12' lanes each way. At tht
intersections a 50' to 54' wide street (curb to curb) can be
accommodated to try and match the present 49' of width at Granc
Ave. and have a 6' to 10' median. Two lanes each way of 11'
would exist. Parking would be set back approximately 120' from
the intersection for approaching lanes. South of Elm one lane
each way is sufficient.

No left turns at midblock would be possible due to the median.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS - ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION
Grand Ave/
State St. - With a curb to curb dimension of 60' create a center lane (for
passing stopped vehicles or for turning into midblock parking
areas) of 12', one through lane in each direction of 14' and
another 10' for parking for the midblock cross section.
intersections terminate the center lane with an
architectual/landscape treatment to establish a center left
turn lane of 12'. Parking is set back approximately 100
ft. from the intersection to allow a free right turn lane of
11 ft.and a through lane of 12'. Only one lane exists in the
opposite direction.

Parking
Access - Predominant access to midblock parking can be emphasized from
Roosevelt with additional access from Grand. Only the WB
traffic should access the midblock areas of the Village Center
from Elm Ave. when the median is constructed. Continued
emphasis will be required for off-street parking due to the
eventual removal of on-street spaces as demand necessitates
assuming the streetscape plan.
Traffic
Control - Existing signals will be adequate for future projected
Devices demand with the possible need for their re-timing. Stop
control should continue to be adequate for Madison and
Roosevelt until a short term of volumes indicates signal
control is warranted. Preliminary estimates indicate
minimum warrants for volume will be met with the projected
demand.

Undulation of
Traffic Lanes - Only when on-street parking is not to be provided should
consideration be made of non-linear alignments. Parallel

recommendation do not yield control of the ROW. The

VILLAGE DESIGN MANUAL
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
DESIGN MANUAL
I I INTRODUCTION
The Design Manual is a supportive plan and embodies the guide
lines and regulations for the implementation of the City of
Carlsbad's adopted Village Area Redevelopment Plan. The manu;
is an urban design and land use plan that addresses the physic
structure, activity framework, and spacial relationships of tl
Village Redevelopment Area. Its specific provisions cover tht
height and intensity of buildings; landscaping, street furniti
open space; the siting of structures; transportation and cir-
culations; and matters which affect the overall appearance of
the urban core.
Since the Design Manual reintroduces the concept of urban desj
into the project area, its text must introduce an urban desigr
vocabulary. Therefore, a supplemental glossary explaining mar
of the concepts herein is attached to help clarify their meanj
11. OBJECTIVES OF THE DESIGN MANUAL
The implementation of the Village Redevelopment Plan and the
comprehensive improvement of the urban core of the Carlsbad
planning area are the primary objectives of the Design Manual.
The intent of the Village Design Manual is to provide general
design guidelines and regulations. The document should provid

should be viewed as providing guidance and parameters rather
than strict standards. The primary responsibility for applyir
and interpreting the guidelines contained herein rests with tl
Design Review Board, with the Commission retaining ultimate
authority and responsibility for application. The Design Rev:
Board shall consist of highly qualified persons with an intert
in the field of urban design and a member from the city staff
shall be appointed to advise associated committees and the
Commission. The board will evaluate development proposals as
they relate to the Village Design Manual and intent of this p

m @ EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
The Redevelopment area occupies a portion in the central
Carlsbad community and it contains approximately 204 acres
(Exhibit A). The Village Redevelopment Plan Area is the hear
of Carlsbad and was one of the first sections of the city to
settled.
Prior to the adoption of a local coastal program, all develo]
ment plans involving property fronting on Elm Avenue, or
located in subareas 5 6 6 will require approval by the San D
Coast Regional Commission.

for the expansion of mercantile activity; more intense resid
use; and increased emphasis on public transportation; safe
pedestrian circulation; expanded and improved parking facilj

, private landscaped open space. 'To accomplish these goals, the
proposed development of the Village Redevelopment Area will be
divided into eight sub-areas (Exhibit B).
V. DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
The Village Redevelopment Area should reflect land use diversi:
variety, and urbanity. The development of commercial resident.
blocks, consisting of groundfloor shops, and upper-floor
residential apartments and studios, will increase the project
area's viability and stimulate its trade. High Intensity
Residential "Villages", (self-contained residential recreation;
commercial complexes), appear to be suitable land uses for the
project area and urban core and should be encouraged.
The Village Redevelopment Area should be redeveloped as an are
which is particularly scaled to the pedestrian.
Redevelopment Area should be developed with interesting shops,
boutiques, restaurants, and service uses. The employment of
enclosures, arcades, gallaries, and shopping plazas should be
encouraged. The specialty shops, services, and restaurants
for the projects area should be augmented by a setting which
manifests urbanity.
selection of external graphics and street furniture are pre-
requisites for the establishment of the setting. Comprehensiv
land use and transportation planning are others.
The landscaping of the project area should be formal, manicure
and maintained by permanent irrigation systems. In these area
enclosures, parks, and squares with cobblestone, tile, or bric
flooring; ornamental park furniture and lighting; fountains,

VI. URBAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN FEATURES
Architecture of the Village Area
Neither the Redevelopment Plan nor the Design Manual suggests
the establishment of an architectural theme for the Village
Redevelopment Area. In lieu of an architectural theme, the
Housing and Redevelopment Commission and the Design Review Bo
should require architectural coordination among developments.
This coordinatiofi will require architects and landscape archi
with project area clients to jointly resolve design problems
conflicts. Furthermore, it will help to ensure compatibilit;
proposed development with the existing village scale. The Dt
Review Board is charged with the duty of requiring architect
coordination and cooperation in the Village Redevelopment Ar
Urban Design - of the Village Redevelopment Area
The urban core of the City of Carlsbad will consist of eight
. subareas. Each area will be Characterized by different lam
use patterns and should have a strong beneficial interdepen
among each other, This interdependence should be fostered
encouraged by the Design Review Board.
The Design Review Board shall promote the effective interde
for the urban core's several areas by advocating the estab:
of pedestrian linkages between the eight subareas. These 1

Lot Coverage
All buildings, including accessory buildings and structures,
and all parking areas and driveways, shall not cover more thai
eighty percent (80%) of the net lot area,
Building Coverage
The open area of each building site should be devoted to lanl
scaping and may take the form of prcmonades, patios, outdoor
cafes, yards or setbacks. The building coverage standard of
the Design Manual should not be applied to existing building
Building Setbacks
When new buildings are proposed the Housing and Redevelopme1
Commission may require minimum yard setbacks. Building set

may be reduced by the Housing 8 Redevelopment Commission.
building setback requirements of the Design Manual should
be applied to existing buildings.
Building and Structural Height Limitations
As a general rule, low-rise buildings are preferable. Th
scale of the central village community calls for the maip
of the project areas low profile. Notwithstanding this,

ment, additional open space landscaping and amenities should b
required to reduce their increased impact).
Building Intensity
Long banks of commercial buildings and long terraces of
connected residential units should be avoided. Where feasible
rows of shops, offices, and dwelling units should be interrupt
by landscaped paths, promonades, or arcades. These breaks
should augment the public convenience and amenity to the proje
area, and promote serial visions therein.
The Siting of Buildings, and Structures, Open Space
The Redevelopment Plan is based upon the acceptance of the
permanency of the physical structure of the buildings in the
Village Redevelopment Area. In general, development should bt:
clustered around parks and plazas, and should be set in a manr
which augments the adjacent common open space and facilitates
public access from nearby streets, parking transit facilities
and residential shopping concentrations.
Each building should be sited in a manner which compliments tl
adjacent building and their landscaping. This coordination
should produce a village townscape which has both order and
diversity, The orderly arrangement of open space is a pre-
requisite to the development of good urban design.
(i.e., where

Open Space
Open space compliments buildings and provides a contrast which
is essential to the softening of the urban scene. It provides
livability, beauty, recreation and relief from urban pressure.
The following criteria for siting of open space should be
employed by the Design Review Board during the course of its
consideration of plans for the construction, remodeling, or
enlargement of buildings in the Village Redevelopment Area.
Upon the completion of the Redevelopment Plan, the
central business district should be interconnected by an organized pattern of private and public open
spaces, such as parks, promonades, plazas and
enclosures.
Common or joint open spaces, which serve several uses or buildings, are preferred to those which serve a single land use.
Open space should be accessible to external pedestrian traffic,
Open space should be sited in a manner which provides
interesting views to the pedestrian.
Open space should be sited in a manner which encourages effective landscaping and horticulture.
*. From a design standpoint, open space should be located, arranged, and developed in such a manner that it constitutes and orderly extension of the building with
which it is related, and vice versa. Where surface
open space is not plentiful, the use of "roof gardens" should be encouraged.
General Landscape Guidelines'
The following landscape guide is designed to promote viabilit
of the Village Redevelopment Area, and to improve the overall
quality of the downtown area. These guidelines are to be used
in conjunction with the open space, building coverage criteria,
standards, and guidelines of the Village Design Manual.
-7-

Guidelines
With the exception of. the existing single family residential
units, the following landscaping criteria should be employed
by the Design Review Board during the course of its considerat
of plans for construction, remodeling, or intensification of L
within the Village Redevelopment Area:
A minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the net lot area of each new development within the project area shall be landscaped. The landscaping of each project should not be confined to plant material. Alternative uses of
textured paving, graphics, fountains, water sculptures, and exterior furniture may be used to improve the convenience and amenity of the Redevelopment Project
Area. The use of the alternative features should be encouraged at a 50:50 ratio by the Design Review Board.
Where plant material is used, it shall be selected, arranged, and installed in accordance with sound land- scaping practices.
All plant material shall be maintained with a permanent irrigation system.
Plant material should be used for soil, water and energy conservation.
Trees should be used to soften the impact of hard surfaces,
Landscaping should be formal and manicured trees should be pruned, pollared, espaliered, and pleached. They
should be aided and protected by drains and grates.
Planters and tree wells should be designed to protect the plants they accommodate, and to promote the aesthetii
quality of their surroundings.
The use of fountains, water sculpture, and other recycli' water features should be encouraged by the Design Review Board.
These requirements shall be met with the installation of on-s
landscaping in accordance with City of Carlsbad landscape pol
unless participation in a cooperative landscape project is
-8-
e e
approved by the Design Review Board. The Board may approve
participation in a cooperative landscape project where it finds
that suck participation would substantially improve the involve
project or increase its overall design quality.
Fire Safety
All proposals for the development or use of land within the
Village Redevelopment Area shall be consistent with the City
of Carlsbad standards of fire safety. The Fire Department
shall prescribe the water pressure; size and location of the
water lines; type and location of fire hydrants; width and
location of fire lanes, drives, passage ways, courtyards, and
plazas; the type and location of onsite fire protection
facilities and use of fire retardent materials. The Design
Review Board shall not approve any development or land use
plan for the project area prior to its receipt of the Fire
Department's report thereon.
VIII. THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The following guidelines are designed to improve circulation
within the project area and the urban core in between the
project area and the several communities for the City of Car1
Street System
The local street system of the central Carlsbad community is
and will remain, the most important element of the Village
Redevelopment Area's extended pattern of circulation. This
system will continue to bring automobile, truck, and bus
traffic, as well as most of the pedestrian and bicycle trafj
into the Village Project Area and to conduct it out therefrc

Arterial arid Freeway Linkage -
The arterial and freeway systems for the City of Carlsbad
provide an adequate linkage between the project area and its
hinterland. When streets and freeways within this system requ
modification to the width, extension, or completion in order t
improve the said linkages, the Housing and Redevelopment
Commission, where feasible under the circumstances, should
recommend such.
Transit
The Village Redev-elopment Area should be accessible by bus
service. Direct bus routes should transverse the urban core;
and feeder routes, for the enployment of the convenient trans
system, should extend the benefits of primary route service tl
the residents of outlying areas.
The landscape promonades, plazas, arcades and enclosures as
well as the principal cultural, social, recreation and mercan
centers of the Village Redevelopment Area should be directly
served by public transit.
.
The subareas of the Village Redevelopment Area should be link
by shuttle-system which might enable the off-street parking
burden of the Village Redevelopment Area to be more evenly
distributed to throughout its subareas. The Housing and
Redevelopment Commission and the Design Review Board should
encourage all transit facilities proposed for location withii
the Village Area to comply with the urban design standards
and criteria of the Design Manual.

f
Bicycle Linkages
The Housing and Redevelopment Commission should encourage the
development and maintenance of bicycles linkages between the
Village Redevelopment Area and surrounding territories, and
among the Village Redevelopment Area's several subareas.
Bicycle parking facilities should be located at convenient
points throughtout the Village Redevelopment Area.
Pedestrian Movement
The Village Redevelopment Area should manifest a strong pedest
orientation. In,general, the Village Redevelopment Area shoul
be interlaced with the safe, convenient and aesthetically plec
pedestrian ways. This interlacing should also be in concert 1
street crossings and beach oriented circulation in order to
promote safe, and convenient movement across streets and to ai
from the beach areas.
Pedestrian ways and linkages should not be limited to street
sidewalks and crosswalks, but should follow paths which
transverse promonades and plazas, parks, arcades, and enclosi
The establishment of direct landscaped pedestrian ways betwet
the Village Redevelopment Area and its residential surroundi.

Commission should endeavor to minimize the conflict between
pedestrian and vehicular movements.

Commission may, at its election, grant credit for small cars
at a parking stall size of eight feet by seventeen feet for 2
maximum of forty percent (40%) of the total number of require
parking spaces.
Where the Design.Review Board finds that additional landscapi
amenity is necessary for a particular parking area, or where
adequate parking stalls are unattainable without sacrificing
amenities, the Design Review Board may permit cars to overhar
a maximum of 2.5 feet into a landscaped planter.
The Housing and Redevelopment Commission may also grant a
variance in the parking requirement whenever it finds there
sufficinet public parking within a reasonable distance as pr
vided by the City or other governmental agency or when the
subject property is within a parking district and the Commis
believes that sufficient parking will be provided within a r
able time by the City or other public agency.
Common facilities may be provided in lieu of individual par1
requirements for each of two or more particupating building:
uses by such facilities provided that the total of off-strec
parking spaces when used together, shall not be less than tl.
sum of the various uses considered separately. Common faci

Total parking spaces required may be reduced below that other-
wise required €or common parking facilities when it can be
demonstrated that such reduction in parking requirement is
warranted by the particular grouping of uses subject to the
approval of use permits by the Housing and Redevelopment Commi:
sion.
Screening of Parking Areas
Off-street parking areas for more than five vehicles shall be
effectively screened on each side, which joins or faces premis
situated in any “R” zone or institutional premises, by a mason
wall or solid fence of acceptable design. Such wall or fence
shall be not less than four feet or more than six feet in heig
. and shall be maintained in good condition without any advertis
ing thereon. Said walls will observe all setbacks which are
prescribed for that zone.

Each parking lot containing five or more spaces shall be land-
scaped in accordance with the following standards:
The amount of landscaping provided within each parking area,
shall be equal to or greater than 10% of the area of the parki
lot. No landscaped area shall be less than 3OTS in width, excl
sive of protective curbing. Landscaping shall be provided
within front setback or required side or rear setbacks on the
street side of a lot, Landscaping located within the requirec

street side of a lot shall not exceed three feet in height.
A permanent underground sprinkler system shall be installed t
provide an adequate water supply to all landscared areas.
Subject sprinkler system shall be installed so as to direct
spray away from sidewalks. Drainage from landscaping irrigat
shall not be directed across any adjacent private property.
All areas established for landscaping shall be protected on
both sides that are adjacent to vehicular parking with a sol
curt, 6" in height and a minimum of 4'' in depth or .other sui
able protection as approved by the Housing and Redevelopment
Commission for the length of the landscaped area adjacent to

Signing within the parking lots shall be so placed as to not
interfere with proper visibility for traffic and pedestrian
safety.
X. SIGNS
All signs should bk compatible with the aesthetic standards of
the Development Plan. All signs shall be approved by the Des;
Review Board and upon appeal by the Housing and Redevelopment
Commission prior to their display.
Exterior signs necessary for identification of buildings, pre-
mises and uses of particular parcels should be permitted withi
the Redevelopment Project Area, provided the design and specij
cation for such designs are approved by the Commission prior t
their erection or installation. When reviewing designs and
specifications, the Commission should determine, before appro1
whether these signs create hazards because of their character-
istics, such as protruding,-overhanging, blinking, flashings,
animation
The principal advertising feature of all uses should be the attractiveness of the buildings, grounds, and the activities visible within. Permitted exterior signs should be those necessary for public safety and for the
identification.

each one linear foot of a building's street frontage, (i.e. A building's linear foot street frontage multiplied
by a maxiniun constant 12 feet vertical height, multiply
that by 5% and that area equals the total permitted squar footage for sign area.)
In recognition that in certain circumstances signs may
" be desirable in areas that do not front onto a public street, (i.e. alleys) the Housing and Redevelopment Commission may, at its election, permit some signs in conjunction with efforts to enhance pedestrian accessi-
bility within those areas.
Signs shall be coordinated so that a consistent compli-
mentary theme is established and maintained.
All lighting of advertising signs shall be concealed
from view. All lighting of advertising devises shall be oriented away from residential areas and directed specifically to commercial and pedestrian traffic.
Lighting of advertising signs located within 150 feet of any street or driveway intersection shall be of sucn col and shape that there will be no confusion with public signs or signals regulating the flow of pedestrian and
vehicular traffic.
Permanent billboards and flashing, blinking, and/or
animated signs shall be prohibited.
Signs advertising the sale, lease, or rental of the pre mises shall be permitted, however the Commission may 1ir

will help to tie the somewhat unrelated components of the
project area together.. The street furniture selected for
use in the project area should be adaptable to pluralistic
architectural design of building within the Village Redevelop-
ment Area.
The Redevelopment Plan calls for an increase in the importance
of alleys within the project area, as well as secondary means
of access, alleys should become pedestrian passageways, and an
integral part of the open space enclosure system of the core.
In places, the all.eys may be widened into mews or courtyards.
The new role for alleys should require that they, where feasib’
be furnished as streets, malls or a combination thereof.
No street furniture should be located in the project area with
out prior approva:! of the Design Review Board of upon appeal o
the Housing and Redevelopment Commission.
XII. STANDARDS FOR THE SUB-AREAS
The planning concept behind the implementation of the Redevelo
ment Plan is to guide the growth and development of the Villag
Area. in a way that the component sub areas are complimentary
to one another. Due to the size of.the project area, the plar
has been divided into eight sub areas. The land use within tl-
sub areas has been restricted, and additional urban design
criteria have been established to permit development through01
the project area to occur in a coordinated manner. (Exhibit .
Sub-Area 1
Sub-area 1 (Exhibit B) has traditionally functioned as the
-
-18-
e m
central business district of Cai-lsbad. Its one- and two-
story shops and offices along State Street met the mercantile
and service needs of Carlsbad for several decades. External
factors, specifically the El Camino Real Shopping Center and
the re-orientation of the major north/south thoroughfare from
old Highway 101 (Carlsbad Boulevard) to Interstate 5, have
affected the economic viability of the downtown area and have
resulted in the need for the Village Redevelopment Plan.
Goal
The goal for Sub-area P is to function as a major financial,
specialty, commercial center for the downtown area. To accom
plish this goal, there will be two major "special treatment
areas" within sub-area 1. The first is the Village Centre
which will act as the focal point for sub-area 1 and become t
major attraction for the Village Project Area. Next is the
Elm Avenue corridor that is intended to serve as a major thor
fare linking Interstate 5 with Carlsbad Boulevard.
Land Use
Only following uses are permitted by right within sub-area 1.

The goal of sub-area 4 is to create a light manufacturing/
heavy commercial area that will serve the project area. In
order to accommodate this goal, the Design Review Board in
conjunction with the city should work toward establishing
. suitable zoning in the sub-area. Overall, this sub-area
could function as a major repair and service; distribution;

should view the land along the east side of Tyler Street,
that fronts on the west side of Roosevelt Street as a buffer
zone to the commercial area along the east side of Roosevelt

XIII. CONCLUSION
The Village Design Manual is a plan for comprehensive improve
ment of the physical environment of spacibl relationships of
Carlsbad Village Project Area. It was formulated for the
purpose of implementing a redevelopment plan for the subject
area. Since the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment
-Plan will not be reached and achieved for several years, the
manual as welP.as the plan, must be kept current and responsi
to changes and conditions. The Redevelopment Plan incorporat
the Village Design Manual by reference. The Redevelopment P1
also provides for the Design Manual's orderly administration
and amendment by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission, an
its effectuation by the Design Review Board.

PART I: PREFAcm e
"Incentive to business development is lacking but even if i
existed the physical capacity to accommodate business is lacking
This same lack of incentive decreases the inclination of the
individual property owners or enterprises to modernize. As a co
quence the process of deterioration sets in until community find
a commercial slum developing in its very midst."
P, 25 Community Development Plan -
A Report on the Elements of
by Gordon Whitnall and Associates, 1957
A Master Plan - Carlsbad, California,
The above quotation is a concise depiction
of the situation found in much of the existing commercial develc
ment within the Carlsbad village area. Without concerted activi
the City - and the business community, outdated sites, incapable c
convenient and efficient service will continue to foster the
process, commonly called blight.
Carlsbad is not the only city in the county faced with a
declining commerical core. The inevitable deterioration of esta
lished commercial areas is well documented in cities throughout
county, state and nation. Equally well documented is the fact t
this deterioration cannot be overcome without joint public-priva
commitment. Private investments in store fronts and dollar day
sales techniques have met with as little success as public parki
and public mall construction. Examples of the failure of these
types of approaches abound.
Strengthening of the residential fabric of the inner city
should accompany the revitalization of the commercial core. Hi$
levels of incentive can be created for commercial redevelopment
as a result of the availability of close in concentration of puu
chasing powers. This commercial residential interplay is essent
to ensure healthy, dynamic inter-city area.

Redevelopment plans historically have taught us that government a1
cannot solve the problems of declining inner-city areas. The
key to success is a "partnership" concept wherein private reinvest
nent can be meshed with public expenditure, in short the public
and private sectors must cooperate for the purpose of leveraging
their individual efforts.
This plan is an effort to begin a true partnership concept, bringi
the public and private sectors together so that the goal of
creating a liveable urban environment can become a reality.
