I feel that the econonic market on State Street AND the Villag area would be seriously affected by putting more food establis ments in tine area (there are already SIX food related establis just on the one block of State Street already and over 22 eati places in less than a k mile area). The foot traffic and amou of people in the area just do not warrant another food place. just aren't enough people that come to the area to eat! 1 am also against more food establishments because the parking situation State Street at lunchtime is terrible!! People tell all the time that they go outside the Village area to eat beca there is never a place to park. More food places will mean le parking at lunchtime, and it just won't work. What the Village area needs is another retail (non-food) store that would bring people into the village area to shop (not jus1 come in and out at lunch) and walk around and spend time and hopefully money in our other retail stores. That is what the Village so desperately needs is different and unique retail shc that will bring all day shoppers to the area. Not more food p' where the people only come to eat, then leave. If you hav" I- any questions you may call me at 434-6239. Thank you for your time.

RECOMMENDATION &w* dd It is recommended that the Design Review Board ADOPT Resolution NO. 105, APPROVING RP 87-9. I1 0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting a minor redevelopment permit to allow the preparation and sale of Middle Eastern Food at 290 and 2959 State Street. The redevelopment permit is required due to the occupancy change on the affected properties. MOS recently an interior decorator occupied the 2959 State Stree. location, while a-retail clothing establishment which followed several food service establishments was at 2906 State Street. The applicant has indicated, and the floor plans provided confirm, that the major preparation work will be performed ai the 2959 State Street location, while the emphasis on food for consumption on site or nearby will be from the 2906 Statt Street address. The project is located within the Village Center Special Treatment Area of Subarea 1 of the Redevelopment Area. I11 0 ANALYSIS 1. Does the project enhance the goals of the Village Center Special Treatment Area of Subarea 1 of the Redevelopment Area? Redevelopment Area? 2. Does the project meet the development standards of the 3. Is the project the appropriate scale for the sites? e 0 %. 4. IS State Street between Elm Avenue and Grand Avenue to become a lv food courtI1? Iv. DISCUSSION The goal of the Village Center Special Treatment Area of Subarea 1 is to become the major attracting force for the redevelopment project. The land use emphasis is towards a Village atmosphere. To that end, a food establishment whos primary retail emphasis was home delivery was denied in thi area. However, as the proposed land use is similar to othe food establishments in the area that cater to walk in resident, tourist, and commercial traffic, staff believes i meets the requirement of being an Ifattracting force." From a strict development standard, the project is acceptable. No expansion or major exterior physical alteration is proposed. The use at the 2906 State Street location is similar to previously allowed uses at that location, while the use at the 2959 address is comparable t a retail bakery or delicatessen thereby not triggering anymore requirements than the previous retail use. The intensity or scale of the proposed use stands out. St appears that the reason two buildings are being leased for this operation is because neither one is large enough to support the scale of development that is planned. As long the development standards and goals of the redevelopment ar are met as noted then the number of buildings is not at issue. The question of the appropriateness of the uses at these sites should be addressed since in this special treatment area no land use is approved by right. The 2906 State Stre location has had food service located there previously and from a planning and redevelopment standpoint there was no history of issues associated with that use. There is a positive precedent for allowing the use to continue. The 2959 address previous use has been as a retail store. It I adjacent to a food establishment. Staff would support the expansion of the existing food establishment into this are3 therefore staff reasons that we cannot deny the same use tc another applicant. Presently there exist six food and beverage establishments between Elm Avenue and Grand Avenue along State Street. TI proposal would increase that number to eight. There is nothing explicit in either the Village Design Manual or tht Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan which would preclude tl rest of the street from becoming additional food service locations as long as they meet development standards, even though the likelyhood of the economic market seriously -. e a .I demanding such a course is discounted, However if this is concern Of the Design Review Board there needs to be a quantitative standard to avoid the suggestion of arbitrary capricious action relating to such matters. For all of the reasons staff recommends approval of RP 87-9. ATTACHMENTS 1. Design Review Board Resoiution No. 105 2. Disclosure Form 3 .
