DATE: AUGUST 1, 1990
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: RP 86-21 CAIJFORNIA BUILDERS -Request for direction regarding request
for relief from parking conditions at 785 Grand.
I. RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests direction from the Design Review Board on the request of Charles Rowe to
allow additional selected medical uses with a parking ratio of 1 :300 within an existing
office building at 785 Grand Avenue.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
In 1987 the Design Review Board and the Housing and Redevelopment Commission
approved a Major Redevelopment Permit (RP 86-21) to develop a 17,677 square foot
professional office building at the southwest comer of Jefferson Street and Grand Avenue
in Subarea 1 of the Redevelopment Area.
The approving resolution for this project included a condition stating:
"This project is approved subject to the condition that no medical offices be
allowed to occupy/lease any portion of the building. Should the applicant
at a later date intend to lease any of the structure for medical office use,
additional parking shall be required to be provided at a ratio of one
space/200 square feet of gross floor area."
Subsequently the applicant requested relief from this condition. In response to his request,
the Design Review Board on a 5-0 vote passed the following minute motion:
"The Grand Office Building may rent 2,100 square feet on the first floor to
a medical group, provided 2,100 square feet elsewhere in the building is left
vacant until a parking district is formed."
The applicant is now requesting that this minute motion be relaxed to allow selected
medical and conditional uses on a case-by-case basis at a parking ratio of 1 :300 (see
attached letter dated 7 /6/90). This request is in response to staffs recommendation of
denial of a business license application by David Tracy, DDS.

Dr. Tracy's business license request was reviewed for compliance with the above condition
and motion. Based upon information supplied by the building owner the following uses
were present at the time of the business license application:
SUITE SIZE IN SQUARE FEET TENANT
100 1181 Beverly Investment Group
101 2011 Spring Mountain Escrow
102 1880 Carlsbad Physical Therapy
200 1132 Transamerica
202 1387 Paul Kratka, Chiropractor
204 1142 Tom Flagg Engineering
206 1760 R.E.B. Real Estate
208A 482 Kinko's Corporate

208 B 392 Rehab in Motion
210 A 296 Mike Sudinsky Insurance
210 B 586 Vacant
212 1604 American Phoenix
214 1077 Vacant
216 1188 Mary Kay Cosmetics
218 825 Dr. Alkar, Psychiatry
220 568 Titan Financial
ill. ANALYSIS
Due to inconsistency in review of prior business license requests, some medical uses are
already present in the building to an extent that exceeds the limits of the Design Review
Board motion. The following are considered medical uses for which Zoning Ordinance
Section 21.44.00(14)(A) requires one space/200 square feet of gross floor area:
Carlsbad Physical Therapy, Suite 102
Paul Kratka, Chiropractor, Suite 202
Dr. Alkar, Psychiatrist, Suite 218
Rehab in Motion, Physical Therapist, Suite 208 B
Parking requirements for the remaining building uses were calculated as office uses in the
Village Redevelopment Area at a ratio of one space/300 square feet of gross floor area.

Based upon the above classification of uses, the building has the following parking
requirements:
# OF SQUARE FEET USE REQUIRED PARKING
1181 Beverly Investment Group 1/300 = 4
2011 Spring Mountain Escrow 1/300 = 7
1880 Carlsbad Physical Therapy 1/200 = 10
1132 Transamerica 1/300 = 4
1387 Paul Kratka Chiropractor 1/200 = 7
1142 Tom Flagg Engineering 1/300 = 4
1760 R.E.B. Real Estate 1/300 = 6
392 D' Agosta Development 1/300 = 2
392 Rehab in Motion 1/200 = 2
482 Kinko's Corporate 1/300 = 2
296 Mike Sudinsky Ins. 1/300 = 1
586 Vacant 1/300 = 2
1604 American Phoenix Mortgage 1/300 = 6
1077 Vacant 1/300 = 4
1188 Mary Kay Cosmetics 1/300 = 4
825 Dr. Alkar, Psychiatrist 1/200 = 5
568 Titan Financial 1/300 = 2
There are 59 parking spaces onsite, resulting in a current shortfall of 13 spaces. Due to
the project's conditions of approval, and due to the existing parking shortage, staff has
recommended denial of this business license application.
Upon being made aware of staffs recommendation, the applicant requested a meeting with
the Design Review Board to discuss the possibility of allowing selected medical uses in the
building at a parking ratio of 1 :300.

RE: Parking Requirements 785 Grand Avenue, Carlsbad
Dear Ms. Cratty:
Pursuant to our conversation of this date, I request
a meeting with the Design Review Board to discuss the
possibility of allowing selected medical professions
to occupy the "The Grand" professional building.
There are a number of medical professionals
not impact a professional building as much
estate brokers, hairdressers or other high
businesses allowed to park in the 1:300 ratio.
who do
as real
traffic
Oral Surgeon Dave Tracy works alone with two full time
personnel. He would like to be located in our building
for the convenience of his Carlsbad clients.
As you are aware, it has been a long and trying
experience leasing our building int the Redevelopment
District. I feel it's imperative for future projects
here in the Redevelopment area, that selected medical
be considered in,1 the 1: 300 ratio. Possibly restriction
on selected medical can be implemented on an individual
basis.
Sincerely, ,..,.----··---:> CL#~v-e_
