DEPARTMENTAL :
1. RP 87-5 - SMOKY "J'S" - Request for a minor permit to
provide interior improvements and convert existing space
at the Town Square Center, 2937 Carlsbad Boulevard.
Chris Salomone gave the staff report on this item, using a
transparency to show the site.
Board Member Holmes inquired about the three tables and their
use, Staff explained a delicatessen can have sit-down space,
but not table space. They will investigate the outside
tables. Three tables were allowed--but no more. If service
were instituted outside, the applicant would need to return
for a modification of the permit. Board Member Holmes stated
he would like a Condition 114 added to state there would be
only three tables, with no expansion outside for eating
space.
Design Review Board adopted the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 101, APPROVING A MINOR REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT TC
ALLOW INTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS AND USE CHANGE AT AN EXISTING

Condition #4 to be added to limit the number of tables to
three-- with no expansion of service outside.
INFORMATION ITEM:
2. PROPOSAL FOR MURAL - Request to review proposed mural at
Carlsbad Stationers on the west side of the building
adjacent to alley.
Chris Salomone explained this Board was being asked to appro1
this request, as this was the first time such a request had
been received.
Mr. Salomone referred to the rendering of the proposed mural
displayed on the wall, adding this mural could be a point of
interest downtown, if it meets with this Board's approval.
Staff is treating this request as a sign permit. The artist
came to the City asking whether this mural could be painted
on the wall.
Jesse Hill, 348 Pine Avenue, addressed the Board, stating he
was the artist and had presented a rough idea of the mural
as proposed.

Mr. Hill explained there would be more detail in the actual
mural and the background would not be as black.
he had painted approximately 50 murals and showed some of
his work to the Board Members.
He stated
Board Member McFadden stated she would like more light around
the mural, and the artist explained there would be lighting
over the mural.
Board Member McCoy inquired about graffiti, and the artist
said he would be in this area and would repair any damage
to the mural. It was hoped this mural would serve as a
detriment to graffiti in this area.
Board Member McFadden inquired about plans for the alley as
far as improvement and parking. Chris Salomone explained
the alley will be improved behind the theater and parking wil
be created there. This will be done within the next year or
two.
Board Member McCoy felt this was too much of a factor for
downtown discussion, and felt it should not be approved.
Design Review Board approved the request for a proposed mural
on the west side of Carlsbad Stationers.
DISCUSSION:
3. BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE Discussion regarding the
scheduling of regular and special meetings.
Chris Salomone reported on the schedule for regular Design
Review Board Meetings, stating they had been scheduled for
5:OO p.m., before the 7:OO p.m. Planning Commission Meetings.
When Planning Commission changed their meeting time to 6:OO
p.m., this shortened the time for Design Review Board meeting
to one hour. At first, meetings were once a month, or less.
Staff has been scheduling two meetings each month, with
special meetings to accommodate an applicant.
Board Member McFadden stated regular meetings were to be on
the first and third Wednesdays, and she saw no reason to call
special meetings for one-item agendas. Mrs. McFadden felt
the intent of Council was to have a full Board present at
regular meeting nights.
Board Member McCoy stated he had no objection to calling
meetings as a favor to applicants.
Board Member Holmes agreed with accommodating the applicants
whenever possible. He felt staff should decide whether a
special meeting was necessary.
Board Member McFadden stated she was not willing to come
here every week for a one-item agenda meeting.
Board Member Hall added if there was an emergency, he was
willing to schedule extra meetings. However, the Board shoul
strive to maintain its regular schedule. Staff should make
the decision as to whether a special meeting was necessary.

Chairman Rombotis agreed items should be consolidated, if
possible. He commented it is sometimes difficult to conclude
even two items in an hour. This Board does draw out the
applicant and the audience to allow for all input.
Chris Salomone stated he would not schedule any special
meetings until he consulted with all five Board Members.
The consensus of the Design Review Board was to continue
scheduling meetings as now being done, with the thought of
consolidating items when possible.
