Chris Salomone, Community Redevelopment Manager, gave the staff report. This item was continued from the December 22, 1982, Design Review Board Meeting, at the request of the applicant. A representative of the applicant was present to request additional time to prepare for this meeting. Mr. Salomone stated he would give no additional staff report at this time. Mr. Joe Sandy, 2956 Roosevelt Street, Carlsbad, representing Fred Howe Grading, Inc., addressed the Board. He stated they are working with staff to get a solution. Mr. Howe recognizes what is to be done and requests a continuance. They are working with the adjacent owners and the railroad to come up with a solution. Chairperson Marcus asked Mr. Sandy how much time he was requesting, and he answered that with the railroad, probably three months. Chairperson Marcus asked if it could be continued three months and the Assistant City Attorney said it would have to be re-noticed. The Board discussed the problem of continuing this matter for three months, with Member Schlehuber stating that if they come back in three months and ask for twelve months from that time, that should be taken into consideration. Member Rombotis stated it is a difficult situation and Member Schlehuber agreed, and stated that this company is not the only one creating a problem there. The Design Review Board voted until April 13, 1983, with the applicant to continue envelopes and pay for the re-noticing.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST - Public Hearing as required by lab Dan Henstchke, Assistant City Attorney, gave a report to the Board, advising them they are required to adopt a new Confli of Interest Code identical to that of the City Council. Thi is a new Commission, and as a new entity, this Code must be adopted by you. Because the Design Review Board is the Planning Commission in the Redevelopment area, the new proposed Conflict of Interest Code for the Design Review Board is identical to the Planning Commission. You would report conflicts in the same manner as the Planning Commission and the City Council. Mr. Holmes and Mr. McCoy would have to file a Conflict of Interest Code different from the one filed last time. For Mr. Schlehuber, Mr. Rombotis and Ms. Marcus, the Conflict of Interest Code for the Design Review Board will be the same as Planning Commission, just different titles. It could be consolidatec on one form. It is a requirement and should be approved. Chairperson arcus announced this is a public hearing, and issued the invitation to speak. Since no one wished to speak on this subject, the public testimony was concluded at 5:40 p.m. Member Rombotis asked if the figure dates would be the same as for the Planning Commission. The Assistant City Attornej answered the figure dates will be the same once they get past the initial figure period. The Board was created at ar off-time from the time you would file the statement. Once that hurdle was overcome, the City Clerk would let you know on the time requirements. In answer to a question from Chairperson Marcus regarding filing one in April, the Assis- tant City Attorney stated if they had one covering the Planning Commission, that includes the Redevelopment area. When you file your Planning Commission statement, you would be including everything within the jurisdiction of the Redevelopment area. You would not have to file two reports. You will be notified. The Design Review Board adopted the Conflict of Interest Code as required by law. 3. RP 82-10 JAVID - Request for a use permit to allow a si1 down delicatessen at the northwest corner of Elm Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard. Chris Salomone, Community Redevelopment Manager, gave the staff report, using a map on the wall to show the property, as contained also in the Staff Report in the packet. His report was basically the same as in the written report. He added that they felt it a good trade-off for the use of this building. along Carlsbad, where cars now pull across the pedestrian crossing to park. It also eliminates the 90 degree parking situation on Elm Avenue; creates landscaping; dresses up the parking lot and makes a safer corner. The City Traffic It eliminates very dangerous angle parking Marcus Rombo tis S c h 1 e hub e r McCoy Holmes s - X X X X X MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW BOARD January 12, 1983 Page 3 RP 82-10 JAVID (Continued) Engineer feels this is a much-needed improvement. This is compatible with Redevelopment area. Member McCoy questioned the shortness of the 16-ft. backout, This is in four of the spaces. Chris Salomone answered the Engineering Department is satisfied, and also that they allowed four spaces for the office parking and only 3.1 is necessary. Member Rombotis asked about the residence just west of that property, and was there parking allowed for that. Chris Salomone answered that was a separate unit; not on the same assessor's parcel and they had discussed that. Member Holmes expressed his concern about the requirt parking being on-street parking. Felt this could prove to be a problem later. Felt all fourteen spaces should be on the property, as you could not say those four spaces would be available during normal business hours. Chris Salomone answered there was no on-s treet parking there--only angle parking and they drove through the pedestrian walkway. Thir created new on-street parking that didn' t exist before. Member Holmes felt it was a good development for what was there, and a good addition to the Village, but he doesn't like the on-street parking. Member Rombotis asked if there were public improvements and Chris Salomone answered there were none; that they had come up with a compromise in this situation. Chairperson Marcus asked if they were putting in sidewalks and Chris Salomone answered it is a rolled-up asphalt. Chairperson Marcus opened the public res timony and is sued the invitation to speak. Mr. Zohreh Javid, 8642 Dallas, La Mesa, California, the applicant, addressed the Board. He preseneed a scale model of the proposed project. Mr. Richard Goldberg, 1632 Curry Comb Drive, San Marcus, ont of the owners of Henry's, addressed the Board. He was concerned about the parking, and also commented about the rolled-up curb with no sidewalks. landscaping would be in place before the restaurant opened, and was told it would be. Mr. Goldberg asked whether the Planning Commission would have another look at the matter, if, at some future time, the owner changed his mind with regard to renting the remaining space to offices only. Chairperson Marcus assured him it would be, and if, 2t that time, the parking was a problem, the proposal would not be approved. Mr. Goldberg inquired whether this might set a precedent for future businesses as far as the parking, but Chris Salomone assured him any request must go through the complete process. Member Schlehuber stated he did not feel this would set any precedent. Inquired whether the Since no one else wished to speak on this matter, the publit testimony was concluded at 6:OO p.m. The following Resolution was adopted: RESOLUTION NO. 007, APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A SIT-DOWN DELICATESSEN AT THE NORTH- WEST CORNER OF ELM AVENUE AND CARLSBAD BOULEVARD.

RP 82-12 ROYCE - Request for a Redevelopment Permit for a 2,400 square foot office remodel with a 1,100 square foot addition at 655 Laguna Drive, in sub-area six of the V-R Zone. Chris Salomone, Community Redevelopment Manager, gave the staff report, using a map to show the building, the peculia shaped lot and the parking. the ordinance requirements; cars will be backing into the setback. It does meet the ordinance in the number of space for parking. Ten different configurations were tried befor this parking configuration was designed, and they feel this one is acceptable. In return for allowing this flexibility on the parking, the City is getting an attractive design, compatible with the area. There also will be added land- scapting. way fur future improvements. The project does not meet all The applicant will give up ten feet of right-of- Chairman Marcus opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak. Mr. Bob Royce, Architect for the project, 2956 Roosevelt Street, Carlsbad, addressed the Board. He expressed his approval of the parking layout and his appreciation for the cooperation between the applicant and staff. Mr. Victor hckwood, 2450 Buena Vista Circle, Carlsbad, spoke to the Board. He expressed his approval of this project and felt it would be a definite improvement to the area. many years, he expressed concern over the need for side- walks in this area. The small children, including his own, must travel on Laguna without sidewalks, which is a very dangerous situation. Jefferson Street has extremely heavy traffic at this time and many people are using Laguna instead of Elm. Mr. Lockwood presented photographs showing the six-foot chain link fence extending to the street; the concrete wall placed across the sidewalk, and the bushe creating a barrier to the walkway. In those areas, it is necessary to walk in the street or on the dirt berms. He said they are asking for a limited number of parking spaces There is very little on-street parking. These problems need to be taken care of by the City, and Mr. Lockwood inquired when these problems will be solved. As a property owner and resident of Carlsbad for Chris Salomone explained there will be one thing happening tomorrow relating to these problems. Council Member Ann Kulchin will be the Chairwoman for a committee to consider pedestrian problems in the Redevelopment Area. This committee is new and will now be looking into these pedestrian problems and the sidewalk situation. Chairpersc Marcus commented this should be mentioned to that committee as this is certainly one area where there are problems. Mr. Robert Provencher, 2670 Kermeyer Circle, Carlsbad, addressed the Board and expressed his approval of this project. This will be a definite improvement in the vehicle use in this area. Mr. Bud Nagle, 242 Bluebird Lane, Oceanside, addressed the Board. He has been associated with this building since it was built. The VFW has never had a success with this building. They made a mistake by building in a residential neighborhood, which then precluded their having a club room, bingo games and other activities needed for the club. He felt this was a very good solution for good usage of the building. \\\\\ MEMBERS MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW BOARD January 12, 1983 Page 5 Since no one else wished to speak an this matter, the publi, testimony was concluded at 6:20 p.m. Member Schlehuber stated he had no problem with the site ant the parking, but wondered why the sidewalk issue was being avoided at this time. Laguna needs a sidewalk, so why not face that problem now. Chris Salomone answered that the Engineering Department had researched this and found that by doing small sections of sidewalks at a time you only create small islands of side- walks instead of a complete sidewalk. The sidewalk should be put in when the street is improved. This is a much safer way to install the sidewalk. When the street is widened, the improvements will be put in. Member McCoy asked if there is a fire-retardant roof. Marty Orenyak, Director of Building and Planning, explained that on a new addition a fire-retardant roof would be required. However, on existing buildings, a fire-retardant roof is required to be installed only if the owner is re- roofing the building. Pha following Resolution was adopted: RESOLUTION NO. 008, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL FOR A REDE- VELOPMENT PERMIT FOR A 2,400 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE REMODEI WITH AN 1,100 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 655 LAGUNA DRIVE. THE APPLICANT IS TO ENTER INTO A FUTURE STREET AGREEMENT TO INSURE THE IMPROVEMENTS ON LAGUNA DRIVE. Member Rombotis asked Chris Salomone to address to the Pedestrian Circulation Commi ttee the concern of the Design Review Board with regard to Laguna Drive and that area. Chris Salomone stated this was one of the areas that triggered the committee. DISCUSSION ITEMS: 5.
