CITY MGRY 2
The Planning Staff, Redevelopment Advisory Committee and Planning Commission recommend that this application be APPROVED and that the City Attorney be directed to prepare documents
APPROVING ZCA-14O/ZC-257.
ITEM EXPLANATION
This item involves four considerations by the City Council which are as follows:
1) Approval of the Village Design Manual (Exhibit A). This
document was prepared by the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee and contains the guidelines and regulations relating to land use and design within the Redevelopment Area. The Manual has also been reviewed by the Planning Commission.
Approval of a zone code amendment to create a new zoning
classification; the Village Redevelopment (V-R) Zone, which
would implement the Village Design Manual and the city's
adopted Redevelopment Plan. The new zone (Exhibit B) was
prepared by the City Attorney's Office and provides a legal basis for utilizing the Village Design Manual. The zone would also provide the procedures for approving projects
within the Redevelopment Area.
3) Approval of an ordinance (Exhibit C) creating the Design
Review Board which will review all proposed projects within the Redevelopment Area. Originally, staff was recommending that the Planning Commission be designated as the Design
Review Board, however, both the Planning Commission and the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee are recommending that the Board be comprised of representatives from both the Planning Commission and the Advisory Committee. Exhibit C reflects the recommendation of the Commission and the Ad v i sor y Comm i t t ee .
4) Approval of a zone change to apply the new zoning classification (V-R Zone) to all the properties located within the Redevelopment Area (refer to attached location
map)
Through staff review and Planning Commission public hearing, all issues on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved.

SUBJECT: ZCA-14O/ZC-257 - CITY OF CARLSBAD - An amendment to the zoning ordinance and a zone change in order to make the Village Design Manual and the Redevelopment Plan the zoning for the city's Village Redevelopment Area.
I . PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This item involves three considerations by the Planning Commission which are as follows:
1) Review of the Village Design Manual.
2) Approval of a zone code amendment to create a new zoning classification (Village Redevelopment Zone) which would
implement the Village Design Manual and the city's adopted Redevelopment Plan.
I
3) Approval of a zone change to apply this new zoning classif- ication to all properties located within the Village Redevelopment Area (refer to attached location map).
11, ANALYSIS
The city's Village Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Council last year. In order to implement the plan, the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee approved a Village Design Manual which provides guidelines and regulations relating to land use and design within the Redevelopment Area. Prior to forward- ing the manual to the City Council, the Planning Commission is being requested to review the document. A copy of the manual is attached (Exhibit B) along with a report from the Redevelopment staff and the Advisory Committee (Exhibit C).
In order to provide a legal basis for utilizing the Village Design Manual, the City Attorney's Office has prepared a new zone; the Village Redevelopment Zone (V-R) (Exhibit A). The zone would 1) adopt the land use classifications and development stan-
dards of the Redevelopment Plan and Design Manual as the zoning for the Redevelopment Area, 2) would provide a procedure for approving projects within the area and 3) would designate the Planning Commission as the Design Review Board for all projects proposed in the Redevelopment Area.

The Planning Commission is also being requested at this time to apply the new V-R zone to all the properties located within the Redevelopment Area. Once this is done and approved by the City Council, the land use classifications recommended and allowed by the Design Manual can be implemented,
On May 10, 1982, the Redevelopment Advisory Committee reviewed this report and recommended that ZCA-140/ZC-257 be approved but that the Design Review Board, rather than being the Planning Commission, be comprised of representatives from the Planning Commission, from the Redevelopment Advisory Committee, from Redevelopment staff and perhaps from the City Council. Because of the desire to expedite the processing of applications by not creating an additional review board, planning and redevelopment staff is still recommending that the Planning Commission be
designated as the Design Review Board. The Committee also requested that Section 21.35.090 be amended to clarify that an application for a redevelopment permit may be referred to the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee for a recommendation prior to be reviewed by the Design Review Board. This section of the ordinance has been modified to clarify this.
111. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project will not have a significant adverse effect upon the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on March ,30, 1982.
IV. RECOMMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolution Nos. 1955 and 1956, recommending APPROVAL of ZCA-740 and 2C-257 to the City Council based on the findings contained therein.
