Item No. 1
Application complete date: March 14, 2018
P.C. AGENDA OF: September 5, 2018 Project Planner: Paul Dan
Project Engineer: Kyrenne Chua
SUBJECT: RP 2018-0004/CDP 2018-0014 (DEV2018-0023) – BARRIO GLASSWORKS – Request for
approval of a Minor Review Permit and Coastal Development Permit to allow 2,323 square
feet of new additions to an existing 573-square-foot commercial building. This project is not
located within the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The existing use
would be converted to a hot glass blowing operation located at 3060 Roosevelt Street in Land
Use District 1 of the Carlsbad Village Master Plan, the Village Segment of the Local Coastal
Program, and within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The City Planner has determined
that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 New Construction of Small Structures of the State CEQA
Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7309 APPROVING Minor
Review Permit RP 2018-0004 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 2018-0014 based on the findings and
subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The 0.56-acre site (APN 203-305-16-00) is located on the east side of Roosevelt Street, between Carlsbad
Village Drive to the north and Oak Avenue to the south. The site is currently developed with a 573-square-
foot commercial building with an associated detached kiosk. The project proposes to demolition the
detached kiosk and construct 2,323 square feet of additions to the existing 573-square-foot building. The
northern half of the project site is located in the Village Segment of the Local Coastal Program, and city
staff has determined that the project requires a Coastal Development Permit. Because the project site is
in the Coastal Zone, the project has been reviewed in accordance with the Village Master Plan and Design
Manual.
Table 1 below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and
surrounding properties.

III. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following ordinances, standards, and policies:
A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. Village Review (VR) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.35), Land Use District 1, Carlsbad Village Center (Village
Master Plan and Design Manual);
C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Village Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC
Chapter 21.81 and Village Master Plan and Design Manual);
D. Growth Management Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.90), Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 1.
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency
with the applicable regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of the above regulations
and policies is discussed in the sections below.
A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use Designation
The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is Village (V). The following Table 2 identifies
General Plan goals and policies relevant to the proposed project and describes how the project is in
compliance with those goals and policies.
TABLE 2 – GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE
Element Goal/Policy Compliance with Goal/Policy
Land Use Goal 2-G.29:
Maintain the Village as a center for residents
and visitors with commercial, residential,
dining, civic, cultural, and entertainment
activities.
Goal 2-G.30:
Develop a distinct identity for the Village by
encouraging a variety of uses and activities,
such as a mix of residential, commercial
office, restaurants and specialty retail shops,
which traditionally locate in a pedestrian–
oriented downtown area and attract visitors
and residents from across the community by
creating a lively, interesting social
environment.
Policy 2-P.70:
Seek an increased presence of both
residents and activity in the Village with new
development, particularly residential,
including residential as part of a mixed-use
development, as well as commercial,
entertainment and cultural uses that serve
both residents and visitors.
The proposal to construct 2,323 square
feet of additions to an existing 573
square foot existing commercial building
will enhance the vitality of the Village by
providing a unique service to local
residents and draw customers from
throughout the city, generating revenue
and jobs, and an entertainment use that
is characteristic to the downtown core
area. The project will complement the
existing uses within the Village by
providing an additional commercial use
that is distinct from surrounding uses.
This project also reinforces the
pedestrian orientation desired for the
downtown area by providing a use that is
within close proximity to residences and
mixed uses. The project’s proximity to
existing bus routes and mass transit will
help to further the goal of providing new
economic development near
transportation corridors.
Overall, the commercial project will
contribute to the revitalization of the
Village area.

Mobility Goal 3-G.2:
Improve connectivity for residents, visitors
and businesses.
The proposed project has been designed
to meet all of the circulation
requirements, which includes vehicular
access off Roosevelt Street.
The proposed project is located
approximately a quarter of a mile from
the train/coaster station which provides
service throughout the day.
Furthermore, the project supports
walkability and mobility by locating the
project near existing goods and services
within the Village.
In addition, the project site provides
adequate pedestrian connectivity by an
existing sidewalk along Roosevelt Street.
Public
Safety
Policy 6-P.6
Enforce the requirements of Titles 18, 20,

Enforce the Uniform Building and Fire codes,
adopted by the city, to provide fire
protection standards for all existing and
proposed structures.
Policy 6-P.30
Encourage physical planning and community
design practices that deter crime and
promote safety.
The proposed building is designed to be
in conformance with drainage, flood
control and seismic design standards. In
addition, adequate fire access is provided
at all points around the building.
To help promote public safety, specific
building elements will be added to the
structure including lighting, transparent
entry doors, addressing, and security-
locked entry/exit doors.
B. Village Review (VR) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.35), Land Use District 1, Carlsbad Village Center (Village
Master Plan and Design Manual)
The subject property is located within Land Use District 1, Carlsbad Village Center, of the Village Master

standards for new development within Land Use District 1 and the project’s compliance with these
standards is shown in Table 3 below. No variances or standards modifications are requested for the
project. Therefore, the project complies with the guidelines specific to District 1 and the Coastal Zone.
