Anabel Ruiz Sydney LeBlanc
Berta Mendoza Deizel Sarte
Ann Hop
The following people spoke in opposition to the North County Health Services proposal to
receive CDBG funding to relocate to a new facility on Carisbad Village Drive citing the
following issues:
• The square footage cost of the Carisbad Village Drive property is higher than
comparable parcels elsewhere in Carisbad and the proposed space offers no room
for growth;
• The lack of adequate parking spaces to accommodate the number of people who
will be served, an increase of traffic on Carisbad Village Drive and safety issues;
• The proposed property is further away from the area North County Health Services
serves.

Cindy Fallah Al Fallah Dave Tracey
Kelly Taylor Josh Robinson.
Dana Withall, representing NCHS, came fonward to address Council stating that the
property was chosen by North County Health Services after a two year search. She
added that one of the primary reasons for choosing the Carisbad Village Drive location
was because of its proximity to a bus route, explaining that many of those who use NCHS
take public transportation and do not have a vehicle. She further added that there are
many residents from all areas of Carisbad who use North County Health Services.
Brianna Cardoza representing NCHS, stated she was a member of the NCHS planning
committee for a new location. She explained that many of the comparable sites
mentioned during public comment, were reviewed and did not meet the criteria to be used
as a health care facility, or the tenant improvements were too costly.
Craig Jones representing Intertaith Community Services, came fonward and stated he was
available to answer any questions regarding his organization's proposal that Council might
have.
City Attorney Ron Ball reminded Council that the site identified by North County Health
Services for its new medical facility had already received land use permits from the city
and discussion of land use was not appropriate during this public hearing.
Kathleen Wellman came fonward to address Council. She spoke in support of the
Community Development Block Grant Program, stating thatthe funding provided by
Housing and Urban Development had very specific guidelines for its use to be followed or

Development Director Gary Barberio explained that the parking ratio per square foot is
higher outside of the Village area and the current site chosen by North County Health
Services was zoned for office and medical use. He added that some of the other
properties mentioned during public comment are zoned for office, but may not be suitable
for medical use.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Blackburn, Housing and Neighborhood
Services Director Debbie Fountain explained that an appraisal of the selected site on
Cartsbad Village Drive is required by HUD and if the property is above or below the fair
market rate, a justification regarding the purchase will be required. She added that the
appraisal will be conducted before funds are dispersed.

find a location and the City Council must decide whether to provide these funds to meet
the needs of the organization's proposal.
