The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, CD 2022-
0021, which is a modification to the Administrative Redevelopment Permit and Coastal Development
Permit, application No. RP/CDP 97-01, to revise the approved architecture for the existing Starbucks
coffee house located at 2924 Carlsbad Blvd.
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of
the findings below and APPROVES this request. The proposed project is a revision to the approved
architecture of an individual tenant suite. The architectural revisions to the storefront include the
following:
• Remove existing barrel tile roof and replace with metal standing seam roofing
• Remove metal patio barrier and replace with wood fencing with steel posts
• Install new brick veneer cladding at entry tower
• Refinish and paint existing stucco walls and cornice
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings
must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function in that the proposed revision to the
storefront maintains the overall design, quality and function of the project. No changes to the
site plan are proposed.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the proposed revisions to
the facade result in an architectural design that will complement the variations in design
throughout the adjacent shopping center and neighboring buildings.
3} The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property.
4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit.

5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development in that no
additional buildings or uses are proposed beyond the scope of what was originally approved.
6) The proposed revision does not create changes· of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code in that there are no changes to parking, landscaping, setbacks, or coverage.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation in that the proposed improvements do not create any inconsistencies or
new impacts relative to the environmental review process associated with the original project's
approval.
8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change in that no changes to the parking lot layout or amount
of parking provided is proposed.
10) The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved in that the approved architectural
design, and site plan layout remains the same as originally approved.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
