Request for a Major Redevelopment Permit and Coastal Development Permit
to allow the construction of two dormitory buildings containing 19,075
square feet within two-stories on the Army and Navy Academy Campus
located at the northeast comer of Cypress Avenue and Ocean Street in Sub-
Area 5 of the Village Redevelopment Zone; in Local Facilities Management
Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Design Review Board ADOPT Design Review Board Resolution No. 183 and 184
recommending APPROVAL of RP 92-4 and CDP 92-3 to the Housing and Redevelopment
Commission based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
IL PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a Major Redevelopment Permit and a Coastal
Development Permit to allow the construction of two new dormitory buildings for the
Army and Navy Academy Campus. The proposed buildings are two story and contain a
total of 19,075 square feet. The structures have been designed to consist of 12 modules.
Each module has a total of 1,315 square feet which includes 4 sleeping rooms, a washroom
and a study area. Each sleeping room will contain 2 beds resulting in a total capacity of
96 beds for the two new dormitory buildings. Three existing structures will be demolished
to create an area for the proposal.
The structures are proposed for the northeast comer of Ocean Street and Cypress Avenue
within Sub-Area 5 of the Village Redevelopment Zone. The General Plan Designation for
the property is P (Private School). The applicant has a Redevelopment Permit and Coastal
Development Permit application on file for a Master Plan for the entire Army and Navy
Academy Campus. The structures are contained in the proposed master plan. As a result
of a donation of funds to construct the new dormitory buildings the applicant has applied
for permits to allow the dormitories to be built prior to an action being taken by the City
on the Master Plan.

The architectural style proposed for the dormitory is an updated spanish style containing
a smooth white plaster exterior with numerous arches. Six pitched roof elements are
proposed in locations corresponding to the entrance to the modules. Concrete tile is the
proposed roofing material for the pitched roofs. The remainder of the roof system is flat.
These elements of the architectural design were chosen to be compatible with existing
structures on the campus yet provide a modem appearance.
Also requested concurrently with these applications is a Major Design Standards Variance
to the City's Engineering Standards. The applicant is requesting that the right-of-way for
Cypress Avenue be reduced from 60 feet to 40 feet containing a 32 foot wide roadway
section with a 4 foot sidewalk on the north side and 3 foot wide sidewalk on the south
side. In addition street right-of-way vacation and dedication is proposed involving Del Mar
Avenue an unimproved street and Cypress Avenue between Garfield Street and Ocean
Street. Both of these issues will be addressed in a separate staff report from the
Engineering Department.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1. Does the project comply with the P (Private School) General Plan Designation, the
Village Redevelopment Zone and the goal of Sub-Area 5?
2. Does the project comply with the development and design standards specified in the
Village Design Manual?
3. Is the project consistent with the City's Local Coastal Program?
DISCUSSION
General Plan/Zoning
The proposed dormitories are consistent with the P (Private School) General Plan
Designation. The existing designation reflects the current and planned future use for this
site. The proposed dormitories represent a component of an overall program planned by
the applicant to upgrade the campus. The goal of Sub-Area 5 is to serve as the major
tourist/tourist commercial related center for the redevelopment project area while
preserving local heritage. The Village Design Manual allows for the campus by permitting
compatible uses. The Academy has occupied the site since 1936 and contains a structure
of local historic significance which dates back to 1927.

Village Design Manual Development Guidelines and Design Standards
The project complies with the development and design guidelines contained in the Village
Design Manual as demonstrated in the following table:
I DEVELOPMENf SfANDARD II PERMfITED I PROPOSED
Building Coverage 80% 25%
Building Setbacks 15 feet 15 feet
Building Height 35 feet 2 7 feet 6 inches
Landscape Coverage 20% required 36%
The Army and Navy Academy presently contains 95 off-street parking spaces. The City's
Zoning Ordinance does not contain a parking standard for this type of use. The academy
includes grades seven through twelve and almost all students live in dormitories on the
campus. In addition, some housing is provided on the campus for faculty. The Zoning
Ordinance does provide a parking standard for high schools, however the characteristics
of the academy and the way in which it functions differ markedly from those of a public
high school. Section 21.44.030 of the Zoning Ordinance allows the decision making body
on an application to determine the parking requirements for uses where no standard is
specifically defined. Staff is recommending that the parking requirement for the academy
as it presently exists and with the proposed new dormitories be established as the existing
95 spaces. This is based on a maximum student enrollment of 285. The current
enrollment is 200 with less than 10 of those students driving to the academy. A new
parking standard may be recommended for the forthcoming Academy Master Plan based
on the future structures proposed for the site.
Coastal Plan
A Coastal Development Permit is required for the project pursuant to Zoning Ordinance
Section 21.81.020. The Village Design Manual is the Local Coastal Plan for the Carlsbad
Village Redevelopment Area. The project has been demonstrated to comply with all
requirements of the Design Manual and the City's Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the
proposal is consistent with the Local Coastal Program.
HISfORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
The project was reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission at their April 13, 1992
meeting. The structure identified on the site as having Local Carlsbad significance is not
being impacted by the proposal.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
•
The Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from environmental
review per section 15302 of the California Environmental Quality Act. The demolition of
three existing structures and construction of the proposed dormitories will not increase
student capacity.

Re: RP 92-4/CDP 92-3 -ARMY & NAVY ACADEMY CREAN/ATKINSON HALL
Dear Sirs:
I am writing to inform you that the proposed new dormitory at Army
and Navy Academy will not impact the Academy's parking situation.
As a boarding school, Army and Navy Academy students live on campus
and are not allowed to have cars. No substantial increase in the
number of day students who may drive, or employees, is anticipated.
Currently our day student population is less than 5\ of our 200
enrolled students. The new dormitory will, in fact, replace
existing structures. Therefore, no new parking places are
necessitated by the planned construction.
If you have any further questions, ·please contact me.
HW:mcr
Sincerely,
. ~
