sites within the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Project Area; 3) to establish specific site development standards for projects within the Village Redevelopment Area; 4) to shift the emphasis from publicly-funded to privately-funded revitalization efforts; and, 5) to develop a strategy for creating a strong identification or image for the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Project Area as the center of economic activity for the City. In carrying out the study, the Cannon Design Group has organized the work into three major phases as shown on Figure 1-2. The emphasis in each phase will be as described below: Phase 1: Redevelopment Strategy The first phase of work has been devoted to an updating of past studies in light of market, traffic and other relevant changes which have occurred over the past five years. Public input has been sought to clarify a future vision for the Carls bad Village Area and to enhance the potential for consensus on the plan and implementation strategies. Special opportunity areas based upon market potentials and physical conditions have been identified and alternative land use, redevelopment action and urban design approaches are recommended. Phase 2: Preliminary Plan In the second phase of work we will evaluate specific redevelopment action areas, major changes to the Village Design Manual, and proposed modifications to current Agency procedures. A few specific, but representative, projects will be studied to evaluate the potential for direct redevelopment action in support of private development initiatives. In addition, major components of the Master Plan, Village Design Manual and Implementation Strategy will be studied and presented for discussion. A special Community Forum will be held at the end of Phase 2 to summarize the Planning Team's recommendations, answer questions and identify any special concerns which may result from specific plan components and recommendations. Phase 3: Master Plan and Implementation Program The final phase of work will be devoted to integrating the conclusions of the study into an administrative document to replace the current Village Design Manual and to a further refinement of the Implementation Program. In carrying out the above workscope, the Planning Team will be working closely with the Housing and Redevelopment Agency staff, the City of Carlsbad staff and a special Master Plan Advisory Committee. The Phase 1 work summarized in this report will be presented to the Master Plan Advisory Committee and, as shown on the Figure 1-2 Preliminary Schedule, a second meeting will be held with the Advisory Committee after a review period to answer further questions and to gain additional feedback for utilization in Phase 2 of the study. 1-3 Month 1 2 3 r---------.., REDEVELOPMENf STRATEGY Review l • Background Review • Data Assembly L _________ J • Market Overview • Community Input • Traffic and Parking Evaluation • Opportunity Areas Identification • Redevelopment Strategies Evaluation Community Workshops and Presentations • • Advisory Committee • 0 • Redevelopment Commission I 4 5 6 7 ,.---------, r••••••••• •••••••••-,r••••••••·•~ MASTER PLAN AND II I II I IMPLEMENf ATION " I PRELIMINARY Review " I " I PLAN PROGRAM " I Review and " Final I " I " I • Goals and Policies Adoption : : Document: • Site Specific Marlcet " I " I " I Evaluations I • Land Use Plan " I " I L _________ J ___________________ _jl __________ J • Development Projects Analysi! • Circulation and • Land Use Plan Parking Plan • Circ. and Parking Plans • Development • Redevelopment Procedures Standards • Preliminary Implementation • Design Guidelines Strategies • Implementation • Development and Design Strategy Guidelines 0 0 0 • 0 0 • 0 • RGURE1-2 Preliminary Schedule MASTER PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA Carlsbad.

Figure 2-1 shows the study area and the commercial core area used in this circulation and parking analysis. Existing Circulation System The Carlsbad Village Downtown Redevelopment Area circulation network located west of Interstate Route 5 and north of Walnut Avenue consists of a grid system running north-east and south-west. As shown on Figure 2-2, regional access is provided by Interstate Route 5. Local access is provided by Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive. Figure 2-2 shows the average daily traffic ( ADT) volumes on the existing street network in the study area. The volumes shown on Figure 2-2 were derived from 24-hour traffic counts taken between July 9, 1991 and November 26, 1991 by the City of Carlsbad Traffic Engineering Department. Traffic signals shown on Figure 2-2 are those in place as of December 1, 1991. Interstate 5 Interstate 5 ( I-5 ) is an eight-lane freeway in the vicinity of the Carlsbad Village Area. It extends southward through San Diego to the California-Mexico border and to the north through Oceanside, providing interstate travel through California, Oregon, and Washington State. The grade-separated diamond interchange of 1-5 / Carlsbad Village Drive is the only regional access point to Carlsbad Village from I-5 within the study area. Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad Village Drive is a four-lane roadway providing primary east-west circulation to the study area. It has an ADT ranging from 32,700 vpd ( vehicles per day ) west of I-5 to 3,200 vpd west of Carlsbad Village Boulevard. Carlsbad Village Drive provides a gated railroad crossing along with five signalized intersections; I-5 northbound ramps, I-5 southbound ramps, Harding Street, State Street, and Carlsbad Boulevard. Exclusive left turn lanes are provided at each intersection and a raised median is located between Carlsbad Boulevard and State Street on Carlsbad Village Drive. On-street parking is prohibited between 1-5 and Carlsbad Boulevard. 2-1 Grand Avenue Grand Avenue is a four-lane roadway between its eastern terminus just west ofl-5 and Roosevelt Street. West of Roosevelt Street, Grand Avenue narrows to two through lanes. Cunently, it carries 5,500 vpd between Washington Street and Carlsbad Boulevard. On Grand A venue, only the intersections with Carlsbad Boulevard and State Street are signalized. A gated railroad crossing is provided and on-street parking is allowed on both the north and south sides of Grand A venue. Carlsbad Boulevard Carlsbad Boulevard is a four-lane roadway from the southern edge of the study area to Christianson Way. Between Christianson Way and Mountain View Drive, only one northbound and two southbound lanes are provided on Carlsbad Boulevard. North of Mountain View Drive, Carlsbad Boulevard narrows to two through lanes. On a typical weekday the ADT on Carlsbad Boulevard ranges from 18,600 vpd south of Carlsbad Village Drive to 11,300 vpd south of State Street. Bike lanes are provided on both sides of Carlsbad Boulevard within the study area. On-street parking is limited to the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard north of Carlsbad Village Drive. State Street State Street is a two-lane collector facility providing north-south access through the study area. State Street carries 6,800 vpd south of Carlsbad Village Drive. The intersection of State Street/ Carlsbad Village Drive is currently signalized, and parking is allowed on both sides of the street within the study area. Roosevelt Street Roosevelt Street is a two-lane collector facility, carrying approximately 4,400 vpd south of Carlsbad Village Drive and 3,600 vpd north of Carlsbad Village Drive. On-street parking is allowed on both sides of the street within the study area. Existing Transit Service The Carlsbad Village Area is currently served by three North County Transit bus routes: 301, 321, and 322. Route 301, which operates from the Oceanside Transit Center, passes through the Carlsbad Village area on Carlsbad Boulevard and travels through the North County, terminating at University Town Center Mall in the Golden Triangle area of San Diego. Route 321 is a loop route beginning and ending at the bus transfer station located on Grand Avenue at Washington Street in the western portion of the Carlsbad Village area. Route 321 serves Grand Avenue, Jefferson Street, and Harding Street, in addition to northern Carlsbad and parts of Encinitas. Route 322 also initiates at the Grand A venue bus transfer station. This bus route serves Grand A venue, Roosevelt Street, Jefferson Street and Carlsbad Village Drive, in addition to other locations in Carlsbad. Figure 2-3 shows the existing bus routes serving the study area. 2-4 existing roadway segments under ADT volume coordinators. For signalized intersections this same document requires a minimum WS of C for peak hour operations as determined by the Intersection Capacity Utilization ( ICU ) Method under the Heavy Demand Procedure. Roadway Segment Capacity Analysis To provide a baseline condition for impacts on the circulation system, we analyzed the existing operations on key study area roadway segments. The majority of the roadways in the study area are classified as collector facilities with the exceptions of Carlsbad Boulevard, which is classified as a major arterial, and Carlsbad Village Drive, which is classified as a secondary arterial. Table 2-1 summarizes the roadway Capacity and Level of Service Standards as recommended in the City of Carlsbad Growth Management Program. In addition, Table 2-1 summarizes the existing Levels of Service on the study area roadway segments. Intersection Capacity Analysis To analyze existing intersection operations, we compiled p.m. peak hour turning movement volumes at key intersections from previous traffic studies. The p.m. peak hour turning movement volumes were derived from the following sources : • City of Carlsbad Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Program Report ( Year 1991 ), JHK & Associates, December 1991. • Kaku Associates traffic counts taken February 17, 1986. • City of Carlsbad Traffic Engineering Department Counts taken February 1991. • Technical Memorandum on the Analysis of Traffic and Circulation Implications of Proposed Carlsbad (Grand) Commuter Rail Station, Basmaciyan-Darnell, Inc, April 1989. In order to estimate Winter 1991 Turning Movement Volumes, the data contained in the above documents were compared and an annual average growth rate of 2% was applied only to mainline volumes to approximate Winter 1991 conditions. Intersection Capacity Utifrmtion Methodology Levels of Service for p.m. peak hours were calculated using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method. The ICU method is the ratio of intersection demand to capacity calculated by summing the ratios of demand to capacity for the critical movements. For this analysis, we assumed a capacity of 2000 vehicles per hour ( vph ) for through lanes and a capacity of 1800 vph for turning lanes. The following table summarizes the ranges of ICU for each level of service. 2-9 Level of Service ICURan1:es A B C D E F 0.00-0.60 0.61-0.70 0.71-0.80 0.81-0.90 0.91-1.00 Greater than 1.00 Appendix A-2 of this document contains a detailed explanation of the ICU methodology and full descriptions of the various levels of service. Table 2-2 lists the existing levels of service at the major signalized study area intersections. As shown on this table, all intersections operate at acceptable levels of service ( LOS A-C ) during the p.m. peak hour. Appendix A-3 of this document contains the ICU worksheets used to analyze the existing p.m. peak hour conditions of the six study area signalized intersections.

The first step in the analysis was to number the study area blocks to aid in the analysis. An inventory of all the available parking spaces by ownership, type, and restriction was conducted in November 1991. Table 2-3 summarizes the types of parking spaces available in the study area. Based on a field survey of the study area, we decided to limit the detailed parking survey to the area shown on Figure 2-5, characterized as the commercial core. A more generalized parking survey was conducted in the non-core area as described below. Appendix A-3 contains the results of the detailed parking inventory. Location Core Area Non Core Area Total Table2-3 Summary of Study Area Parking Supply NUMBER OF AVAILABLE SPACES On Street 578 1,078 1,656 Off Street Public* 380 380 Private 1,460 1,572 3,032 Total 2,418 2,650 5,068 * The following list summarizes the ownership of land for the public parking spaces located within the core area.

Railroad 208 City Owned 66 Leased from Private Owner 106 Total 380 2-12 Detailed Parking Occupancy And Utilization Survey The detailed parking survey, conducted on Saturday, November 23, 1991 and Tuesday, November 26, 1991 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., gathered data on parking occupancy and duration by parking space location and type. Parking occupancy is defined as the number of cars parked in a given location divided by the number of spaces available. Normally a parking facility is considered to be at capacity when 85% of the spaces are filled. Parking duration is the length of time that the vehicles remained parked. The data collected were subdivided into weekday and Saturday parking conditions and public and private ownership. Detailed parking data are included in Appendix A-5 of this document. Weekday Core Area Parking Conditions Figure 2-6 shows the overall weekday hourly parking occupancy for each type of parking available in the core area. Although the time of peak occupancy varies by type and location, virtually all of the peaks occur between 10:00 a.m. and 1 :00 p.m. Although overall occupancy rates are relatively low, certain areas are heavily utilized ( See Appendix A-5 ). Using the 85% occupancy criterion described above, the following observations can be made: • Ten of the thirty block faces in the core area have a peak occupancy at or above capacity at least once during the weekday. These block faces are closest to the Village Faire shopping center and the center of the commercial district. • Two of the nine public off-street parking lots have peak occupancy at or above capacity at least once during the weekday. These lots are closest to the commercial district. • No private off-street lots have peak occupancy over 75% during the weekday. The survey also revealed that average parking durations for the core area parking spaces, shown on Figure 2-5, do not exceed the established time limits. Saturday Core Area Parking Conditions The same methodology and data collection effort was used to determine Saturday parking conditions. Figure 2-7 shows the weekday hourly parking occupancy for each type of parking available in the core area. Although the time of peak occupancy varies by type and location, virtually all of the peaks occur between 12:00 p.m. and 1 :00 p.m. Based on the 85% occupancy criterion described above, the following observations can be made as to the Saturday parking usage ( See Appendix A-5 ) : • Nine of the thirty block-faces in the core area have a peak occupancy at or above capacity at least once during the day. • One of the nine public off-street parking lots has peak occupancy at or above capacity at least once during the day. This lot is located adjacent to the Village Faire shopping center. • No private off-street lots have peak occupancy over 75% during the day. The survey also revealed that when compared with the parking time restriction shown on Figure 2-5, the average durations do not exceed the established time limits. Appendix A-5 contains detailed graphics showing core area parking occupancy and duration results for the weekday and Saturday surveys. 2-14 Non-Core Area Parking Conditions Occupancy rates were observed in the remainder of the study area on Thursday, December 5, 1991. Figure 2-8 shows the maximum occupancy for each block in the non-core portion of the study area. As shown on this graphic, all maximum occupancy values outside the core area are below the 85% threshold. However, the blocks immediately adjacent to Carlsbad Boulevard have the highest rate of utilization. Because no blocks were found to have occupancy values at or above capacity on the weekday, it was assumed that the Saturday results would reveal less occupancy. Therefore, no occupancy survey was conducted on a Saturday outside the core. Seasonal Parking Variations Due to the timing of the Redevelopment Plan Master Plan Implementation effort, the parking surveys were conducted during the winter. During the summer increased on-street and off-street parking would be expected from the beach users. At present, free on-street parking is available near the beach. A free public lot is located at the southern terminus of Ocean Street, and free parking is available along the west side of the railroad tracks on Washington Street between Beech Avenue and Pine Avenue. The existing public lots serving the commercial district east of the railroad tracks are over a quarter of a mile from the beach. Thus, it is anticipated that few beachgoers would utilize these parking areas. During the coming summer months, the City should monitor these parking areas within walking distance of the beach to determine whether additional parking strategies are necessary. Summary Of Existing Parking Conditions Current weekday parking conditions vary from block to block within the study area. Several block faces are at capacity ( over 85% filled ) during peak times while others are below 50% occupied. Overall, in the core area 56% of the available public spaces ( on-street and off-street) were filled at peak times on a weekday. On weekends the demand is somewhat less, with 42% of the available public spaces filled during peak times. Outside the core area, occupancy rates are lower than in the core area. LAND USE Land uses within the Village area are quite varied. However, for initial planning description purposes they may be classified as retail, office or other commercial. Residential pockets and, in some cases, isolated residential parcels occur throughout much of the redevelopment area. Existing land uses, based upon a survey completed by the Housing and Redevelopment Agency staff in November and December of 1991, are shown on Figure 2-9. For purposes of discussing the current development patterns, Figure 2-10 shows a generalized distribution of land use zones in the Village. 2-17 Zone A In general, the area west of the A.T. & S.F. Railroad right-of-way along Carlsbad Boulevard is composed of tourist accommodations, institutional and quasi-institutional uses, retail shops and restaurants, and some residential units of varying types. The area immediately adjacent to the ocean is dominated by residential use with some isolated motel construction. This strip, however, is outside of the boundaries of the current Redevelopment Project Area. In general, Zone A has a high quality appearance and creates a strongly positive image for the Village as well as the City as a whole. Specific uses of importance in this zone include the following: • Village Faire mixed use retail, office and restaurant complex • Carlsbad Village Inn • Tamarack Beach Resort • Army and Navy Academy • St. Michael's by the Sea Episcopal Church • Carlsbad by the Sea Retirement Community • Lutheran Health Facility of Carlsbad • Alt Karlsbad-a small mixed use parcel containing the site of the original Frazier's Well • Magee Park including several historical structures ZoneB The area along State Street and Grand A venue is the small scale heart of the downtown. It is characterized by a mix of retail, office and restaurant uses strongly oriented to a pedestrian environment which has been reinforced by recent public improvements. In most instances, buildings rather than parking lots dominate the environment. It is this area that once contained Carlsbad's main social hall as well as a town baseball diamond. Together with the City's first movie theatre and first commercial block, these original public features served as the focus of the growing community. Today this area projects a strong image with interesting shops, excellent quality public improvements and merchants who make a real effort to improve the visual character of their shops. Specific uses of importance in this area include the following : • The historic A.T. & S.F. Depot • MacDonald Phannacy • Bauer Lumber Company • Carlsbad Village Theatre • US Post Office • Two small shopping centers • Old World Center ( mixed commercial uses ) • Numerous antiques and collectibles shops • Several restaurants • City public parking lots 2-21 ZoneC Zone C contains perhaps the widest mix of uses of any of the sub-areas of the Village. While it includes a few antiques stores, service shops, offices and small residences, the area is generally dominated by industrial-type uses devoted largely to automotive repair and painting. These automotive and quasi-industrial uses also occupy the relatively large A.T. & S.F. right-of-way area between the State Street frontage and the railroad tracks to the West. Specific uses in the area include: • Larger professional offices at the northern end of the zone • Maxton Brown Park adjacent to Buena Vista Lagoon • A Mobile Home Park ZoneD Located at the southern edge of the Redevelopment Project Area, this zone also contains a number of industrial uses and automotive-oriented uses. Those west of Tyler Street are generally on larger parcels and in more substantial structures than their counterparts on North State Street. Some of these uses spill over to the east side of Tyler Street in smaller facilities mixed in with single family residences, many of which are substantially deteriorated. The small area fronting the east -side of Roosevelt Street contains better quality single family residences and is more similar to the residential neighborhood to the south of the Redevelopment Project Area. This zone and the adjacent neighborhood to the south, known as The Barrio, have a rich history. Here immigrant laborers settled following the 1916 revolution in Mexico. Many of the small homes date from the earlier part of this century. Specific uses located in this area include : • The City of Carlsbad Maintenance Yard • The Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad • A two-story professional office building • A Circle K mini-mart • Lola's Mexican Market and Delicatessen ZoneE Most of the uses normally associated with an urban freeway interchange are located here along Carlsbad Village Drive. Gas stations, chain and fast food restaurants, and a chain motel are located near the Interstate 5 interchange. Large areas of paving devoted to automobile circulation and parking are found in this area. Further to the west along Carlsbad Village Drive are located several larger buildings housing banks and other financial institutions. Some have substantial drive-up banking accommodations. Specific uses located in this area include the following : • Big Bear Market Center • Denny's • Motel 6 • Carls Jr. 2-22 • Jack in the Box • Kentucky Fried Chicken • Chevron, Texaco, Gasco and Union 76 Gas Stations • Bank of California • Home Savings and Loan • San Dieguito National Bank • Security Pacific Bank • Pacific First Bank ( located on Grand A venue ) DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER The character of existing development varies considerably over the Carlsbad Village area. The State street retail core area contains a mix of standard flat-roofed commercial buildings with simple parapets ( Figure 2-1 lA ) and buildings with a more distinctive village character as expressed by sloped roofs, small paned windows and distinctive wall finishes ( Figure 2-11B ). While offering room for some improvements, the buildings and storefronts in this area provide a good base for increased development quality within the Village. Alleys are largely service-oriented but occasionally an effort has been made to develop a village character through outdoor uses, second floor access, landscaping and awnings ( Figure 2-11 C ). North State Street has fewer buildings of quality and the range of building types is much greater. While some substantial commercial buildings are located here, the street's image is largely shaped by automotive repair shops ( Figures 2-11D and E ) and other commercial buildings of little distinction ( Figure 2-1 lF ). Some newer commercial buildings, while more substantial and of higher construction quality, lack a character which relates to the unique qualities of the Village ( Figure 2-12A ). Also located within the North State Street area are a few small residential structures. Some are still used as residences but several have been converted to commercial use ( Figure 2-12B ). Newer commercial and hotel structures are generally larger than the older scale of development. Those along Carlsbad Village Drive near Interstate 5 are typical of freeway-oriented construction in any California community. Those elsewhere in the Village have made more of an effort to relate to a special "village character." Successful examples include the Village Faire Shopping Center ( Figure 2-12C) and the Carlsbad Village Inn ( Figure 2-12D ). Others, mostly office buildings, are less successful because little attempt has been made to fit into the scale and character of the Village ( Figure 2-12E ). Almost all are overly large compared to their adjacent residential neighbors, due to the use of the ground level under the building for parking ( Figure 2-12F ). The on-grade parking under buildings has also resulted in little activity or design quality at the ground level ( Figure 2-13A ). Residential buildings throughout the area are generally small ( Figures 2-13B and C ) although a number of small multi-family complexes are scattered throughout the Village area. They range from one-story ( Figure 2-13D) to small and large two-story projects ( Figures 2-13E and F ). Often they are dominated by large expanses of paving devoted to access and parking. 2-23 In summary, the structures in the Redevelopment Area are mostly small in scale with the exception of more recent construction which is often many times larger than adjacent existing buildings. Architecturally, the structures range from charming to strictly utilitarian. INFLUENCES The current master plan for the Village Redevelopment Area took into account the physical conditions and influences which existed at the time. In preparing this revision, the Planning Team has taken a fresh look at those conditions and influences. The major Planning Influences are summarized in Figure 2-14 and include the following : • The A.T. & S.F. Railroad line bisects the Project Area. • The North County Transit District ( NCTD ) plans a commuter rail station and a transit transfer area adjacent to the commercial core of the Village. As part of the project they will construct public parking. • The remainder of the railroad right-of-way north of the NC1D proposed parking area is currently occupied by a mix of unsightly industrial-type uses. • Two major arterial roads, Carlsbad Village Drive and Carlsbad Boulevard, provide convenient access to the Village from both the remainder of Carlsbad and the surrounding communities. • The Buena Vista Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean are adjacent to the Village and serve both as amenities for Village residents and as magnets to attract residents from outside the immediate area. • Two city parks, a coIIimunity recreation center and a major grocery store also serve as amenities for the Village residents. • The US Post Office draws many Carlsbad residents to the Village. • The Senior Center on Pine A venue is a major activity node. • The Carlsbad Village Inn and the Tamarack Beach Resort establish a strong, high-quality tourist accommodations image for the Village. • A number of other smaller, well-kept motels provide tourist accommodations at a wide range of nightly rates. • Several senior-citizen housing complexes are located in or planned for the area. • The Village Faire Shopping Center provides a strong image for the Village and a potential magnet for specialty retail customers. • The City has constructed a number of off-street public parking lots in the commercial core of the Village. • Several financial institutions are located along the Carlsbad Village Drive corridor. • A number of new two-story office buildings have been constructed in the northeast portion of the area. • Many small medical offices are located throughout the Village. • Good quality restaurants, some with outdoor dining accommodations, provide an amenity for local business customers and residents, as well as a source of nighttime activity. 2-27 • The Army and Navy Academy with its white buildings and open lawn areas contributes to the northern entry image to the Village. • Remnants of the interesting and unique early history of the City of Carlsbad are still visible in older commercial and residential buildings in the Village. 2-29 Section 3 MARKET POTENTIALS DEMOGRAPIDCS SUMMARY A demographic profile of the Carlsbad Village area was undertaken as part of the market overview. Because statistical information was not available for the precise boundaries of the Village redevelopment project area (the "Village"), Census Tracts 179 and 180 were chosen since they include all of downtown Carlsbad and adjacent areas west of Interstate 5, east of the Pacific Ocean, south of Buena Vista Lagoon, and north of Agua Hedionda Lagoon (see Figure 3-1, Census Tract Map). For purposes of evaluating demographic trends, adjacent geographic areas for comparison were selected as follows: Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, and the coastal San Diego region as defined by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Population and Households Appendix B-1 describes trends in population and households for the period 1980 to 1990 for the study areas. Population in Census Tracts 179/180 grew from 8,039 in 1980 to 11,215 in 1990 per the U.S. Census. This equates to an average annual growth of 318 persons per year and a compounded annual growth rate of 3.4%. In comparison, the City of Carlsbad's population grew from 34,490 in 1980 to 63,126 in 1990, an average annual growth of 2,764 persons, or 5.9% per year. Overall, Census Tracts 179/180 captured about 11.5% of the City's growth in population over the period 1980 to 1990. Census Tracts 179/180 grew at a slower annual percentage rate than the North County comparison areas -Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, and the three cities combined. Only the San Diego region showed a slower rate of population growth. The number of households in Census Tracts 179/180 grew from 3,395 in 1980 to 4,553 in 1990, an average increase of 116 households per year. The number of households in the City of Carlsbad grew from 13,586 in 1980 to 24,995 in 1990, an average annual increase of 1,141 households. Census Tracts 179/180 captured about 10% of the City of Carlsbad's growth in households over this period. Households in Census Tracts 179/180 grew at an annual rate of 3.0%, less than one-half of Carlsbad's rate of growth of 6.3%. Among the comparison areas, only the San Diego region experienced a slower rate of growth than Census Tracts 179/180 at 2.8%. Average household size and median age are also presented in Appendix B-1. The average household size has increased in Census Tracts 179/180 from 2.29 to 2.38 persons over the period 1980 to 1990. In the City of Carlsbad, the average household size declined in size from 2.54 to 2.47 persons over the same period. However, average household size in Census Tracts 179/180 is still lower than in the City of Carlsbad as a whole. Overall, Census Tracts 179/180 had the smallest average household size of all areas studied, indicating a concentration of single-person households. Median age has increased substantially in Census Tracts 179/180 from 26.9 years in 1980 to 30.2 years in 1990, an increase of 12.4%. Comparatively, the City of Carlsbad median age grew by 9.7% from 32.1 years 3-1 in 1980 to 35.2 years in 1990. Typically, lower median age figures reflect proportionately higher concentrations of children. Population by Ethnicity Appendix B-2 describes the ethnic population for the study areas for the period 1980 to 1990. In Census Tracts 179/180, white population declined from 64% of total population in 1980 to 59% in 1990. Population of Hispanic origin grew from 32% of total population in 1980 to 37% in 1990. In absolute terms, both white and Hispanic origin population in Census Tracts 179/180 grew by an average 150 persons per year during 1980-1990. Relative to the comparison areas, Census Tracts 179/180 have the highest ratio of Hispanic origin population relative to total population, i.e., in 1990, Hispanic origin population was at 14% in Carlsbad, 23% in Oceanside, 25% in Vista, 21 % in the Tri-City Area, and 20% in the San Diego region. Employment Appendix B-3 describes the change in employment from 1980 to 1990 for Census Tracts 179 and 180, the City of Carlsbad, and the San Diego region. Several employment categories were studied: (1) Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Mining; (2) Construction; (3) Manufacturing; (4) Transportation, Communications, and Utilities; (5) Wholesale Trade; (6) Retail Trade; (7) Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (FIRE); and (8) Services. Trends in total non-government employment, followed by a sector-by-sector analysis, are presented below. In terms of total non-government employment, Census Tracts 179/180 experienced an increase from 3,201 to 5,250 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, an increase of 64%. The City of Carlsbad experienced a greater increase of 120% in total employment over the same period, almost twice the rate of growth experienced in Census Tracts 179/180. The San Diego region experienced an increase of 50% in total employment. In absolute growth (i.e., number of employees), Retail Trade, FIRE, and Services exhibited the strongest increases. Retail Trade grew by 570 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, FIRE grew by 250 jobs, and Services, which showed the largest increase, grew by 1,066 jobs. The remaining employment sectors showed only marginal or negative change in the number of jobs. Also of significance is the share of employment in Census Tracts 179/180 relative to that of the City of Carlsbad. For example, FIRE employment in Census Tracts 179/180 in 1980 accounted for 44% of total FIRE jobs in the City. By 1990, that ratio had declined dramatically, to just 20% of Citywide FIRE employment. Wholesale Trade had the largest drop, where in 1980, 60% of Wholesale Trade employment in the City of Carlsbad existed in Census Tracts 179/180. By 1990 that ratio had declined to just 14% of total Wholesale Trade employment Citywide. Overall, total civilian employment in Census Tracts 179/180 declined from 21 % of the City of Carlsbad's jobs in 1980 to 16% by 1990. The downtown area's declining share of Citywide employment is reflective of the rapid growth in commercial and industrial development in more suburban sectors of the City. • Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Mining In Census Tracts 179/180 this employment sector declined from 63 to 41 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, a decline of 35%. The City of Carlsbad saw a similar decline of 41 % in this employment 3-3 sector over the same period. Conversely, the San Diego region experienced an increase of 62% in Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Mining employment. • Construction In Census Tracts 179/180 construction employment sector grew from 234 to 399 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, an increase of 71 %. Over the same period, the City of Carlsbad experienced a greater increase in this employment sector-88%. The San Diego region experienced a 1980-1990 increase of 69% in Construction employment. • Manufacturing In Census Tracts 179/180 manufacturing employment grew from 106 to 145 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, an increase of 37%. The City of Carlsbad saw an increase of 114% in this employment sector over the same period, over three times the rate of growth experienced in Census Tracts 179/180. The San Diego region experienced an increase of 21 % in manufacturing employment. • Transportation, Communications, and Utilities In this employment sector, Census Tracts 179/180 experienced a decline from 116 to 106 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, a decrease of 9%. Conversely, the City of Carlsbad saw a substantial increase of 100% in this employment sector over the same period. The San Diego region experienced an increase of 29% in Transportation, Communications, and Utilities employment. • Wholesale Trade In Census Tracts 179/180 this employment sector declined from 189 to 180 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, a decrease of 5%. However, the City of Carlsbad saw an increase of 312% in this employment sector over the same period. The San Diego region also experienced an increase in Wholesale Trade employment -62%. • Retail Trade In this employment sector, Census Tracts 179/180 grew from 1,036 to 1,606 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, an increase of 55%, while the City of Carlsbad experienced a greater increase of 96% in this employment sector. The San Diego region experienced an increase of 43% increase in Retail Trade employment. • Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (FIRE) In this employment sector, Census Tracts 179/180 grew from 359 to 609 jobs over the period 1980 to 1990, an increase of 70%. The City of Carlsbad experienced a greater increase of 270% in FIRE employment over the same period, almost four times the rate of growth experienced in Census Tracts 179/180. The San Diego region experienced an increase of 72% in FIRE employment. • Services Between 1980 and 1990, Services employment in Census Tracts 179/180 grew from 1,098 to 2,164 jobs, an increase of 97%. The City of Carlsbad grew at twice the rate experienced in Census Tracts 179/180 -193% -in this employment sector over the same period. The San Diego region experienced an increase of 64% in Services employment. • 3-4 MARKET POTENTIALS This section of the report summarizes market conditions and trends for the major land uses deemed suitable for the Carlsbad Village area. The land uses examined are: (1) retail; (2) professional office; (3) multi- family residential; (4) and hotel/lodging uses. In order to assess the market potentials of the Village, we examined existing market data as well as the market study prepared by Economic Research Associates, Inc. in March 1986. In addition, we compiled limited original market data via surveys with brokers, property owners, property managers, and other individuals knowledgeable in the Village area real estate market. Note that the market potentials section of this report is based, in part, on data collected from secondary sources. While we believe that these sources are accurate, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. The analysis, opinions, recommendations, and conclusions contained herein reflects our informed judgement based on market and economic conditions as of the date of this report. Due to the volatility of market conditions and complex dynamics influencing the economic situation of the building and development industry, conclusions and recommended actions contained within this section should not be relied upon as sole input for final business decisions regarding current and future development and planning. Retail Uses Overview!Profile The Carlsbad Village retail market is comprised of three separate and interrelated segments which are freeway-serving, tourist-serving·, and local-serving in nature. These segments of the Village retail market are profiled below. • Freeway-Serving: This segment of the Village market is comprised largely of fast food outlets and service stations. Freeway-serving retailers in the Village are generally located along Carlsbad Village Drive between Interstate 5 and Harding Street. Freeway-serving retail uses in this area include Carl's Jr., Jack in the Box, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Denny's Restaurant, and four service stations. These retailers are located in close proximity to Interstate 5, from which they draw convenience shoppers. • Tourist-Serving: This retail segment is composed largely of specialty retailers and eating and drinking places located in the heart of the Village and near the beach. The center of the Village tourist-oriented retail market is within or nearby the block bounded by Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad Boulevard, Grand Avenue, and State Street. Tourist-oriented retailers draw from the Village's tourists and beach goers. Typical retailers include upper-end restaurants such as Neiman's and the Coyote Bar and Grill, antiques dealers, children's wear, apparel and beach wear, and handicraft and gift shops. • Local-Serving: This retail segment is comprised of local-serving retailers offering both merchandise and services. These retailers draw from the local community and do not necessarily require prime retail locations. Tenants in this segment include the Big Bear supermarket, a pharmacy, liquor stores, a clock repair shop, donut shops/bakeries, delicatessens, small pubs, cleaners, etc. 3-5 retail building and three one-story retail buildings. At present, the building has 900 square feet vacant which is being offered at $1.35 per square foot per month, Net/Net/Net. The most recently built retail center in the Village area is Village Faire. This 69,000-square-foot center has become a major center of retail activity in the Village. This is a specialty retail shopping center located on a 3.66-acre site with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.43:1. The center contains a total of 297 parking spaces both on-and off-site. The parking ratio is 4.3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of leasable space. The two-story center was completed in 1989 and has since leased 57,000 square feet (19,000 square feet per year). The center does not have a traditional anchor such as a department store, supermarket, or drug store. However, its major draws include a Wherehouse Video and two popular eating and drinking establishments (Neiman's Restaurant and the Coyote Bar and Grill). The center also features shops with specialties such as hardwood handicrafts, beach and surf apparel, children's clothes, and two local serving banks. Rents at Village Faire range from $1 .50 to $2.50 per square foot per month, Net/Net/Net. Rents vary by location within the project and by the level of tenant improvements provided. Vacancy We surveyed a total of 248,240 square feet of retail space in the Village area, of which 22,100 square feet was reported as vacant, or 8.9%. Of the 22,100 vacant square feet, over one-half exists in the Village Faire retail center. Because of its lack of traditional retail anchors, two-story configuration, and the fact that the prime retail locations in the center have been taken, this last 12,000 square feet of space may prove slow to lease. Further exacerbating these factors is the current economic decline which has slowed retail demand not just in Southern California but throughout much of the nation. Excluding Village Faire, the vacancy rate in the Village is approximately 4%. Taxable Sales Appendix B-6 summarizes historical growth in taxable sales in the City of Carlsbad and surrounding areas (Oceanside, Vista, tri-city area, and the County). Over the period 1970 to 1980 and 1980 to 1990 Carlsbad experienced the greatest rate of growth in taxable retail sales. During 1970-1980 Carlsbad retail sales grew at an annual compounded rate of 25%, almost twice the rate of the surrounding areas. During 1980-1990, the rate of growth slowed to 11.3% and during the most recent period, 1985-1990, the rate fell to 9.4%, both of which are comparable to the rates of growth experienced in the surrounding areas. Overall, taxable retail sales in Carlsbad have had substantial real growth during each period examined, as did the surrounding areas. Projected Retail Space Demand Due to the lack of large development sites in the Village area, the demand for larger retail uses, namely department stores, supermarkets, drug stores, home improvement stores, and other large-scale retail uses with substantial land requirements has not been projected. The types of retail to be absorbed in the Village area are anticipated to be comparable to that of Village Faire tenants, tourist-oriented and/or local-serving retail tenants as well as eating and drinking places. Given the fact that Village Faire has been the only retail center to open since 1989 in the Village, it provides a useful indicator of the demand for these types of uses. Since its opening in 1989, Village Faire has absorbed 57,000 square feet of retail and eating and drinking space, or an average annual 19,000 square feet. Through 2000, we project that the Village area is likely to 3-7 • The Grand Professional Office Building -785 Grand The building is located on approximately 20,713 square feet of land located at the southwest comer of Grand Avenue and Jefferson Street. It is a two-story, 17,600-square-foot building built over 51 covered parking spaces. There are eight additional alley spaces. In total, there are 3.33 spaces per 1,000 square feet of space. The building is 35 feet in height and has an FAR of 0.85. Completed in 1988, the building has leased all but 2,800 square feet. Rents range from $1.40 to $1.60 per square foot, Mcxlified Gross. • Austin/Pacific Office Complex -2777 Jefferson Street The building is located on a 18,414-square-foot lot at the southwest comer of Jefferson Street and Arbuckle Street. It is a two-story, 9,307-square-foot building with a FAR of 0.51. The project contains 23 surface parking spaces, or 2.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building area. The building was completed in 1986 and presently has 650 square feet of vacant space. Rents range from $1.50 to $1.75 per square foot, Modified Gross. • The Grand Professional Building -2910 Jefferson Street The building is located on a 0.249 acre lot on the southeast comer of Grand A venue and Jefferson Street. It is a two-story, 10,692-square-foot building constructed over 30 parking spaces. There are an additional seven spaces at the rear of the building. The overall parking ratio is 2.8 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building area and the FAR is 1.0. The building was completed in 1986 and presently has no vacant space. The landlord would not disclose rents for this project. Tenants in these office buildings and office tenants throughout the Village are comprised of smaller professional tenants. These include medical, chiropractor, dentist, legal, financial, insurance, and real estate tenants (i.e., FIRE and professional services employment). Vacancy and Absorption The four projects built in the Village area since 1986 comprise a total of 46,000 square feet of space and collectively have a 7 .5% vacancy -the bulk of which is in one building (The Grand). Rents range from $1.25 to $1.75 per square foot, Modified Gross. These buildings have accounted for approximately 9,000 square feet of absorption per year. Appendix B-8 summarizes historical office absorption in Carlsbad, adjacent markets, and the County overall. The Carlsbad office market contains an inventory of about 1.07 million square feet, or about 3.6% of the San Diego County total. Vacancy for Carlsbad is about 24%, vs. 21 % in the County. On average, Carlsbad has shown historical absorption of about 150,000 square feet per year over the pericxl 1985 to 1990. (However, for the pericxl 1985-1987, the Carlsbad absorption estimate is inclusive of Vista. As such, this estimate is somewhat exaggerated.) Carlsbad absorption was at 108,000 square feet in 1990. Projected Office Demand In order to assess the demand for professional office space in the Village, we examined historical growth in office-using employment. The two primary sources of office demand are FIRE (Finance, Insurance, and 3-9 Housing Product Type Tenure (Owner vs. Renter) Appendix B-10 presents information on housing by tenure (i.e., by owner-occupant vs. renter-occupant) and the percent of housing units that are owner-occupied. Census Tracts 179/180 have the lowest ratio of owner- occupied housing relative to the comparison areas. In 1990, only 20% of the housing stock in Census Tracts 179/180 was owner-occupied, down from 22% in 1980. In contrast, the City of Carlsbad had the highest ratio of owner-occupied dwellings at 62.6% of total housing in 1990. The other study areas ranged from 53.8% to 58.4% owner-occupied. The owner-occupied ratio in Census Tracts 179/180 is two to three times lower than the other areas studied. This area represents a concentration of renter-occupied housing in a City where home ownership is the standard. Overall, Census Tracts 179/180 added an average of 98 renter- occupied units per year over the period 1980 to 1990, about 25% of the total growth in rental housing in the City of Carlsbad .. Unit Type (Single-Family vs. Multi-Family) Appendix B-11 summarizes housing production by unit type (i.e., single-family vs. multi-family). In Census Tracts 179/180, approximately 33% of the total housing was comprised of single-family units in 1990, down from 35% in 1980. For the City of Carlsbad, single-family units comprise 68% of the total housing stock, more than twice the proportion in the downtown area. The other comparison areas also have much higher ratios of single-family dwellings. Census Tracts 179/180 have exhibited an annual increase of 125 dwelling units during -1980-1990, of which only 34 units or 27% were single-family units. An average 92 multi- family units, or 73% of the increase, were added each year during 1980-1990. Appendix B-12 presents historical data on permit activity in the City of Carlsbad and the County overall for the years 1980 through 1990. On average, the City of Carlsbad has issued about 1,100 dwelling unit permits per year over the period 1980 to 1990. About 48% of these were for multi-family dwellings. San Diego County has had a higher ratio of multi-family housing of about 57% of total building permits over the period 1980 to 1990. For-Sale Housing Values Single-Family Appendix B-13 summarizes recent single-family home sales and listings in the Village area. Closed sales are shown in the top half of the table and listings are presented in the bottom half of the table. Sale prices ranged from $117 to $451 per square foot of living area. The average per-square-foot value was $181. The key factor in price variation appears to be location. There are three distinct residential areas in the Village area: • West of the Railroad Tracks This area has the highest home values in the Village area due to close proximity to the beach. Homes in this area are of mixed type, including a number of garden-style apartments, bungalows built between 1900 and 1950, as well as modern vacation homes and condominiums. Home sale 3-11 Annual Demand Through 2000 Annual Housing Demand (DU) Percent Single-Family Single-Family Demand (DU) Multi-Family Demand (DU) Apartment vs. Condominium Demand Average Annual Demand 120 30 90 Total Demand 1990-2000 1,200 300 900 Of the estimated demand for 90 multi-family units per year, we have projected the split between rental and ownership dwelling units. In 1990 just 20.2% of the housing units in Census Tracts 179/180 were owner- occupied, down from 22.0% in 1980 (see Appendix B-10). Over the period 1980 to 1990, owner-occupied units accounted for only 15% of household growth in Census Tracts 179/180. This trend is not expected to continue as high land costs and down-zoning in the City of Carlsbad have combined to make rental housing development economically less attractive. Furthermore, as the area increases in appeal, the Village is expected to become more comparable in housing ownership trends to the City as a whole (i.e., a higher proportion of owner-occupied housing). Therefore, we are projecting that the share of owner-occupied housing in the Village will increase between 1990 and 2000. We estimate that 45% to 55% of near-term multi-family housing demand will consist of attached for-sale dwellings (i.e., owner-occupied). Projected demand for apartments and attached for-sale housing through 2000 is presented below. Annual Demand through 2000 Low High Annual Multi-Family Demand (DU) 90 90 Percent Owner-Occupied 45% 55% Owner-Occupied Demand (DU) 40 50 Apartment Demand (DU) 50 40 The potential for residential development is projected as follows: total residential (all housing types) -120 units per year; multi-family apartments -40 to 50 units per year; and multi-family for-sale -40 to 50 units per year. 3-14 Programmatic Recommendations Residential has the greatest near-term development potential in the Village area. Multi-family housing will continue to dominate future residential development activity in the Village area. Middle-to upper-end multi- family development should be encouraged as the Village currently has a disproportionately large share of lower-income households relative to the City overall. Home ownership should also be encouraged due to the low rate of owner-occupied housing in the Village area. Because of the limited availability of larger sites in the Village, residential development will be limited to mostly smaller in-fill projects which cannot provide substantial on-site amenities. The City should therefore consider providing "general neighborhood amenities" such as small parks, tennis courts, children's play areas, and other related facilities in order for the Village to attract higher income households. These amenities will also enhance the Village's attractiveness to residents and tourists alike. Residential development designed for middle-and upper- income households with an emphasis on for-sale product will also strengthen the retail base of the Village. The area west of the railroad tracks is considered ideal for higher-end for-sale attached condominium and townhome development. In the area south of Oak Street, for-sale townhomes and in-fill duplexes with attached two-car garages should be encouraged. Some multi-family rental and condominium development is supportable on larger sites. Lastly, in the area north of Grand Avenue, higher-density for-sale and rental development should be encouraged in the areas closest to Grand A venue and the commercial core. Mixed- use residential development with subterranean parking near the commercial district should be encouraged to project a stronger Village atmosphere and to create more of an urban flavor. Mixed-use development will also enhance the area's nighttime activity and create more of a 24-hour downtown environment. On smaller in-fill sites, small duplexes or row housing should be encouraged. On larger sites away from the commercial core a mix of townhomes, condominiums, and apartments is supportable. Hotel/Lodging Uses Historical Development and Occupancy Historic hotel room inventories in the City of Carlsbad at five-year intervals are presented below. Historical Hotel Room Inventories 1990 1985 1980 1975 Average Room Inventory 1,844 1,482 686 406 3-15 Annuai Increase 80 159 56 NA 98 decline and the overbuilt nature of the lodging industry in Southern California, little near-term demand, particularly in the lower-end motel market is projected. Development of moderate-sized tourist-oriented inns, and small bed-and-breakfast hotels should be emphasized over the long term. However, should a sizeable oceanfront site become available, such as the Army and Navy Academy site, a larger tourist- oriented resort facility would be recommended as a new focal point for tourist activity for the Village. Such a development would be desirable as it would provide the Village with a strong tourist identity similar to what the Hotel Del Coronado, the Dana Point Resort, and the Laguna Niguel Ritz Carlton have done for their respective communities. Given the current economic downturn and the over-built nature of the lodging industry, such a development may not be feasible until the mid-to late 1990s. However, a larger resort facility should be viable in the long~term given the limited availability of sizeable oceanfront sites in Southern California; the unique character of the Village area; the Village's proximity to golf, tennis, and other tourist attractions; and Carlsbad's close proximity to the densely populated areas of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. HOUSING NEEDS Household Income and Affordability Household income levels in the Carlsbad Village area are substantially lower than in the City or County as a whole. According to SANDAG, median 1990 household income in the combined Census Tracts 179/180 was approximately $23,000 (1989 dollars). (See Appendix B-20.) For the City as a whole, median income in 1990 was nearly twice this amount at $43,500. San Diego County households had a median 1990 income of $33,700. The City and County experienced real growth in household income of 3% to 4% during 1980- 1990, while Tracts 179/180 showed no real income growth. Not surprisingly, the Carlsbad Village area contained a disproportionate share of households in the lower income categories relative to the City as a whole. About 30% of households in Tracts 179/180 earned less than $15,000 in 1990; only 10% of Citywide households had incomes below this level. In fact, Tracts 179/180 accounted for nearly one-half (46%) of all households in this income group. The lower incomes of the Carlsbad Village area translate to lower levels of housing affordability. As shown in Appendix B-21, based on standard assumptions regarding household purchase and rent capacity, a household at median income for Carlsbad ($43,500) can afford to spend $1,087 in monthly rent or to purchase a $122,200 home. At the median income for Tracts 179/180 ($23,000), a household can afford $574 in rent or $58,700 in sale price. The latter figure compares unfavorably to the median condominium price in Carlsbad of $148,000 (1990). While approximately 41 % of households in Carlsbad can afford the median-priced condominium, only about 14% of households in Tracts 179/180 meet these affordability criteria. Survey of Housing Expenditures In order to gather data about household income, housing affordability, and actual housing costs, CIC Research, Inc., a contract survey research finn, was engaged to conduct a telephone survey of Carlsbad Village area residents. The actual boundaries for the survey were defined as: Tamarack Boulevard on the south; Interstate 5 on the east; Buena Vista Lagoon on the north; and the Pacific Ocean on the west These 3-17 boundaries encompass an area larger than the redevelopment project but were selected for the ease of deter- mining household eligibility for participation. The survey was conducted in December 1991 by CIC Research staff using telephone interviews and a random-digit-dialing technique. A total of 392 interviews were completed. In terms of statistical validity, a 384 sample size is required to guarantee a 95%, 5% confidence level. As noted previously, in 1990 there were 4,553 occupied housing units in Census Tracts 179/180, which comprise an area larger than the survey boundaries. Thus, the CIC Research survey included about 8.6% of the households in this larger area. The principal conclusions from the CIC Research housing survey can be summarized as follows: • The survey indicates that the majority of downtown residents are renters, and that most renter households reside in apartments. However, one-third of respondents live in single-family homes, including a significant number of renters. • The average respondent has lived in Carlsbad almost 11 years and in their present home almost seven years. These figures are even higher for single-family dwellers. • While average household size is larger than in the City as a whole, overcrowding does not appear to be a significant problem. Only 12% of all respondents report more than two persons per bedroom. • The condition of housing stock appears to be a problem. One-quarter of all renters describe their complex as being in fair or poor condition. • Nearly one-half of the respondents reporting income earn less than $25,000 annually. Based on an assumed 30% income allocation to housing costs (rent and utilities), this translates to a maximum monthly housing expenditure for these households of $625. The average renter households reports paying $660 in monthly rent. • A comparison of reported total housing cost and estimated housing affordability indicates that more than three-fifths of the renter households are "over-paying", i.e., actual housing costs exceed 30% of income. An even higher proportion of renters in the below-$25,000 income group are over-paying for housing. More specific findings are detailed below; the complete survey results are presented in Appendix B-22. • Respondents have lived in Carlsbad an average of 10.89 years. They have lived in their present home an average 6.52 years. • One-third (32.7%) of respondents live in single-family homes. One-half (51.8%) live in apartments. Just 8.9% live in condominiums. • Single-family home dwellers have lived in Carlsbad an average 17.59 years and in their present home an average 12.05 years. • About three-quarters (72.7%) of respondents rent and one-quarter (27.3%) own. Among single- family dwellers, 40.6% rent and 59.4% own. Among condominium dwellers, 34.3% rent and 65.7% own. • The majority of renters (70.9%) live in apartments. • The average renter occupies a 996-square-foot unit with 1.73 bedrooms and 1.37 bathrooms. Apartments average 852 square feet with 1.59 bedrooms and 1.31 bathrooms. • One-quarter of renters (25.3%) describe the condition of their complex or unit as fair or poor. • Average monthly rental rate for renters is $660. 3-18 • Average household size for respondents is 2.59 persons. Nearly one-quarter (24.1 % ) have four or more persons. In 1990, the average household size in the City of Carlsbad was 2.47. • Single-family households average 3.09 persons while apartments average 2.39 persons. • Average persons per bedroom is 1.51 overall. It is higher for households earning less than $25,000 than for households earning $25,000 or more. • An average 1.42 persons per household are employed. • About one-half (48.0%) of the respondents that reported income earn less than $25,000 annually. • More than one-half of renters (53.7%) reporting income earn less than $25,000 annually. For owners, this figure was only about one-third (31.9% ). • Housing affordability was calculated for renters as follows: Income divided by 12 months times 30% income allocation to housing. This figure was then compared to housing cost, defined as rent, gas, and electric, and water bill. Based on this comparison, more than three-fifths (62.9%) of surveyed renters have total housing costs at or below their affordability level. Housing payments in excess of affordability are most evident in the lower income categories, e.g.: 100% of households under $7,500; 98.2% of households from $7,500 to $14,999; and 83.3% of households from $15,000 to $24,999. (All renter households at $50,000 or more report housing costs in excess of affordability, but this is a very small sample size.) Housing Needs Assessment In June 1990, the Carlsbad City Council adopted interim objectives as set forth in SANDAG's Regional Housing Needs Statement (July 1990). The SANDAG goals call for production of a minimum 6,273 total new housing units ("regional share") and assistance in providing affordable housing to an additional 1,125 lower-income households ("fair share") during the five-year period 1991-1996. Of the 6,273 "regional share" housing units required, 1,443 units are required for very low income households (50% of Area Median Income); 1,066 are required for low income households (80% of AMI); and 1,317 are required for moderate income households (120% of AMn. The balance of 2,447 represent households with incomes greater than 120% of AMI. The City Council in January 1991 adopted an interim resolution requiring that all master-planned residential communities include a minimum of 15% of all dwelling units affordable to households of low or very low income. Planning staff estimated that 10 master plan developments likely to be active over the next five years could deliver 855 affordable units. None of these are located in or near the greater downtown area. The balance of the "fair share" affordable units could be produced through an array of other programs, including Section 8 vouchers, senior housing ordinances, density bonuses, and City-sponsored development using Community Development Block Grants and redevelopment set-aside funds. The need for affordable housing is particularly apparent .in the downtown area. Median household income in this area is considerably lower than Citywide, $23,000 vs. $43,500. Almost one-third (30%) of households in the downtown area earn less than $15,000 annually. Even at the median income level for downtown, a household can afford only $574 per month in rent, as compared to an average $660 in reported actual rents. The detailed housing survey concluded that more than three-fifths (62.9%) of renters in the downtown area make total housing payments in excess of 30% of income. Housing condition appears to be problematic, with one-quarter reporting units or complexes in fair to poor condition. Few households, however, experience overcrowding, i.e., more than two persons per bedroom. 3-19 DEVELOPMENT PARAMETERS Summary of Absorption Potential Retail Uses Based on recent historical market conditions, we estimate near-term demand for 10,000 to 15,000 square feet of retail space per year in the Village area. Demand will continue for general merchandise, specialty, eating and drinking, and food and liquor stores as new retail locations develop and in-fill residential development occurs. There is little opportunity for large-scale retail development due to limited site availability. However, retail space demand will be soft until the current economic downturn has improved. Professional Office Space The Village office market is comprised of small professional office buildings particularly on Grand, Jefferson, and Roosevelt, as well as a number of small financial buildings along Carlsbad Village Drive. Historic employment growth indicates absorption of about 12,000 square feet per year during 1980-1990. we project future demand at 9,000 to 12,000 square feet per year. Office demand is also expected to be soft until the current economic downturn has improved. Multi-Family/Senior Housing Residential has the greatest potential in the Village area in the near-term. Multi-family housing will continue to dominate future residential development activity in the Village. The maximum potential for residential development is projected as follows: total residential (all housing types) -120 units per year; multi-family apartments -40 to 50 units per year; and attached for-sale -40 to 50 units per year. Middle-to upper-end multi-family development should be encouraged as the Village currently has a disproportionately large share of lower-income households relative to the City overall. Home ownership should also be encouraged due to the low rate of owner-occupied housing in the Village area. Because of the limited availability of larger sites in the Village, residential development will be limited to mostly smaller in-fill projects which cannot provide substantial on-site amenities. The City should consider providing neighborhood amenities such as parks, tennis courts, children's play areas, and other related facilities in order for the Village to attract higher-income households. Residential development designed for middle-and upper-income households will also strengthen the Village retail base. Hotel/Lodging Uses There is potential for small-to moderate-sized tourist-oriented inns and small bed-and-breakfast hotels in the Village. Small, price-oriented motels are the currently the weakest segment in the Village lodging market. However, should a sizeable oceanfront site become available, such as the Army and Navy Academy site, a larger tourist-oriented resort facility is recommended as a new focal point for tourist activity for the Village. Such a development would be desirable as it would provide the Village with a strong tourist 3-20 identity. Such a resort facility may not be feasible until the mid-to late 1990s. KMA projects demand of 200 to 300 hotel rooms by 200 in the Village. Preliminary Assessment of Financial Feasibility Supportable Land Values In order to determine the relative financial feasibility of various land uses, Keyset Marsten Associates prepared residual land value analyses for prototypical developments. The principal of residual land value analysis is that supportable land values are a function of market rents or prices; development costs and operating expenses; and prevailing rates of return. In general, a project's anticipated sale price or capitalized value, less cost of sale, development profit, and total development costs (excluding land), should yield the amount a developer can afford to pay for the land and land carry. We used this formula in combination with cost estimates and market parameters based on both the market overview of proposed uses and review of comparable projects in Southern California. Residual land values were estimated for a range of development types, including retail, office, multi-family, hotel, and mixed-use projects. Each development prototype and the corresponding estimate of supportable land value are explained briefly below. Retail Space -Strip Retail Center In Appendix B-23, we considered a small new construction retail center on 42,000 square feet of land, requiring assembly of six standard-sized parcels. At an FAR of about 0.26 and parking of 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet, such a site could accommodate about 11,000 square feet of retail space. Based on prevailing rents and costs in this market, we calculated a residual land value for this product type of about $19 per square foot of land. Single-Parcel Retail Rehabilitation Appendix B-24 considers the economic feasibility of rehabilitating an existing retail building on a single 7 ,000-square-foot parcel. A $35/square foot rehabilitation cost is assumed; it is also assumed that the building will continue to operate without any discrete parking. Typically, a single-tenant retail building would require 3.33 spaces per 1,000 SF of gross building area (GBA) on-site. However, this development scenario assumes zero on-site parking. This product type yields a residual value -for land and building -of $80 per square foot of building, or $76 per square foot of land. Single-Parcel New Construction Retail (No On-Site Parking) We also considered new construction of retail space on a single vacant parcel (Appendix B-25). A building area of 5,600 was estimated, based on 7,000 square feet of land and an FAR of 0.80. This assumes that the building will be developed as in-line storefront shop space without any on-site parking. Based on these assumptions, this product type yields a $58/square foot land value. Although this land value estimate is significantly higher than in the case of the Strip Retail Center, it is largely a function of the zero on-site parking assumption. 3-21 development prototype of about $2 per square foot. (See Appendix B-31.) The low value is a result of the high cost of providing 6/1,000 parking on site. Multi-Family Apartments Appendix B-32 looks at the economic feasibility of multi-family apartments in a three-story configuration on 42,000 square feet of land, or about six parcels. Based on a maximum density allowance of 23 units per acre, such a site could accommodate about 22 units with all surface parking. This development type yields an estimated supportable land value of about $3 per square foot. Condominiums A similar calculation was prepared for a residential condominium in a comparable configuration (Appendix B-33). We assumed that this product type would include larger units; garage parking; and a two- story format. In addition, per-square-foot construction costs are assumed to be higher ($45) than for apartments ($38). However, relatively high sale prices -$135 per square foot, or about $162,000 per unit -result in higher land values than for rental product, about $14/square foot. High-Density Condominiums A high-density condominium project is shown in Appendix B-34. The density is shown at 60 dwelling units per acre, or 58 units in all on the 42,000 square foot site. The development represents a 3-story building constructed over 3/4 sunk parking (i.e., 3/4 of parking structure is below grade). The high density prototype yields a land value of about $29/SF, or about twice the value generated as a density of 23 units per acre. Three Duplexes We examined the economics of an intensification of residential uses by assembling three typical parcels for development of residential duplexes (Appendix B-35). This product type, which is similar to townhomes, can be built at densities of 10 to 14 units per acre. Unit size and cost characteristics are relatively similar to the condominium product type, but market price is estimated to be slightly lower, at $120 per square foot, or about $156,000 per unit. Based on these assumptions, duplex residential homes yield an estimated supportable land value of $5 per square foot. In Appendix B-36, we examined the economic feasibility of a small hotel on 42,000 square feet of land, or about six parcels. Based on parking requirements and height limits, this use could achieve a maximum 109 rooms in a three-story configuration over underground parking. Based on our cost and income estimates, this hotel product type results in a supportable land value estimated as $24 per square foot. 3-23 Current Market Land Values In order to estimate acquisition costs for property in the Carlsbad Village area, a detailed survey of current market land values was conducted. The survey attempted to identify all major comparison sales of vacant land and tear down sites in the Village area since 1985. As shown in Appendix B-37, sales activity has been relatively limited. According to commercial property sales information from COMPS, Inc., 18 such sales occurred in the area during this time period. Most sites were one or two parcels in size, i.e., approximately 7,000 or 14,000 square feet. Price per square foot of land typically ranged from $20 to $50. The average price was $36 per square foot of land. Most sites transacted were intended for commercial, office, or multi- family construction. In addition, three properties currently listed for sale, shown in Appendix B-38, list for an average price of $34 per square foot. For the purposes of the present analysis, we estimated potential land acquisition costs by intended use as follows: • Residential, $20 to $30 per square foot, or a mean of $25 per square foot • Commercial, $30 to $40 per square foot, or a mean of $35 per square foot 3-25 As shown in the summary table, only new construction retail without parking and high density condominiums generate a high enough land value to fully support estimated acquisition costs. This can be attributed to the significant cost savings resulting from use of off-site parking and the higher densities. All other proposed uses examined yield a deficit, i.e, land acquisition costs exceed supportable land values by approximately $10 to $20 per square foot. These deficits indicate a need for financial assistance, which can also be expressed on a per-unit or per-square foot basis, as follows: Gap per Gap per Unit or SF Land SF Building Area Strip Retail $16 $61/SF GBA (1) Retail w/ln-lieu $5 $6/SF GBA Parking fee Mixed-use RetaiV Residential $18 $13/SF GBA Current Office $15 $20/SF GBA Medical Office $33 $52/SF GBA Space Office w/ $14 $14/SF GBA structured parking Office w/ $7 $5/SF GBA structured parking and reduced parking Apartments $22 $40 ,200/unit Condominiums $11 $20, 100/unit Duplexes $20 $33,700/unit Hotel $11 $4,200/room (1) GBA = Gross building area. 3-27 Subterranean Parking Discreet (i.e. hidden) on-site parking in the Village core should be encouraged. Large on-site surface parking lots are not considered appropriate for an urban village atmosphere. Without stringent zoning requirements, subterranean parking would be the norm in the Village, as land costs generally exceed the cost of developing structured or subterranean parking. A "carrot" or incentive-based approach is considered most effective for encouraging the development of discreet parking. The City should consider encouraging subterranean parking or at minimum half-sunk parking in the Village core that would screen or hide a project's parking by providing development incentives for doing so. Incentives may include: (1) lot coverage, height, or density bonuses; (2) reductions for on-site parking requirements; and (3) payment of an in-lieu parking fee to the City for use of public parking facilities. Requiring subterranean, or even "half-sunk," parking will negatively impact a project's economics unless incentives are provided to offset higher costs. Requiring such parking without incentives via zoning requirements is likely to reduce development activity in the Village. Public Parking The high cost of land and the limited capacity for developing on-site parking on smaller in-fill sites makes the current parking requirements imposed by the City very costly/difficult to provide. Replacing some on- site parking with public parking will improve development economics in the Village and promote more aesthetically pleasing projects as on-site parking will not dominate a project's appearance. Residential Base A broader economic residential base should be encouraged in the Village. The Village population is now dominated by low-income renters. Middle-and upper-income housing should be encouraged to broaden the economic base of the Village. General neighborhood amenities, such as parks, tennis courts, and children's play areas, should be developed at in-fill locations, since small development sites are unlikely to provide for such amenities. Tourist Focal Point A tourist focal point such as a large oceanfront or oceanview hotel resort would further enhance the Village's identity as a tourist destination. Such a resort could be to Carlsbad what the Hotel Del Coronado, Dana Point Resort, and Laguna Niguel Ritz Carlton are to their respective communities. However, given the current economic decline and the overbuilt nature of the lodging industry in Southern California, a long- term perspective may be necessary for such a project. Given the limited availability of sizeable oceanfront or close by sites in Southern California, the unique character of the Village and its proximity to prime golf and San Diego County tourist attractions, and Carlsbad's close proximity to greater Los Angeles, the development of additional resort projects in the Village should be attractive in the future. 3-29 Cultural Uses As the City and North County continues to grow, support for cultural facilities such as a performing arts theater, cultural center, and museums will be enhanced. The Village should be the focal point of any cultural development in the City. General Neighborhood Amenities In order to encourage a broader residential base in the Village area (i.e. more middle-to upper-income households) the development of public amenities such as tennis courts, small parks, and childrens play areas is necessary. General Neighborhood Improvements As a means of complementing public improvements that have occurred in the Village commercial core, additional improvements in the outlying Village residential areas are recommended. Also recommended are streetscape improvements such as new sidewalks in areas with deteriorating or no sidewalks and landscaping features. Specific pockets of residential areas should be targeted for residential rehabilitation through facade and landscaping improvements assistance via low or no interest loans or grants (partial or whole). Funding for rehabilitation programs could be provided through housing set-aside funds as most occupants in the Village would meet moderate-income requirements. 3-31 Section 4 VILLAGE VISION PROBLEMS AND CONCERNS During the early weeks of Phase 1, members of the Planning Team reviewed past reports and documents on the Village Redevelopment Area as well as other relevant City plans, studies and regulations. We walked through the entire Village area several times, taking notes and photographs. In mid-November we interviewed twenty-one individuals, including each of the City Council Members, to gain additional insights into the problems and concerns which need to be addressed in this Master Plan update. ( See Appendix C-1 for summary.) We held two public workshops in December for additional community input ( Appendix C-2 ). The first was focused on the business people, property owners and residents of the Village area while the second was held to hear the thoughts of the Carlsbad community as a whole. In addition we contacted the staff of the California Coastal Commission, met with various members of the City staff and held informal conversations with business owners in the Village. Based upon all of the above input, we prepared the following summary of problems as a guide for the establishment of goals and objectives and for the identification of preliminary redevelopment strategies : Circulation • Currently internal downtown vehicular circulation is difficult due to traffic speeds on Carlsbad Village Drive and a shortage of traffic signals. • The long physical dimension of some blocks limits both vehicular and pedestrian east-west circulation. • Vehicular and pedestrian connections between State Street and Carlsbad Boulevard are limited. • Currently, pedestrian access across Carlsbad Village Drive and across Carlsbad Boulevard is difficult. • Roosevelt Street north of Grand A venue has three different curb-to-curb widths. • The Village lacks a full system of pedestrian sidewalks. • Northbound traffic on Carlsbad Boulevard and State Street is not allowed to reverse direction onto the other street to return to the Village. No tum-around is possible until one crosses the lagoon and reaches Oceanside. • The entry to State Street from the north is difficult Parking • There is a shortage of parking at peak periods in a few high-demand areas. 4-1 • The City currently owns the land under only 66 of the total 380 public parking spaces in the Village. The remainder of the spaces are located on land leased to the Agency by the railroad and other private land owners. • Due to limited personnel resources, parking regulations are not strictly enforced. Currently that seems to have created few problems as noted in the parking utilization summary, but it would likely be a larger problem with increased downtown business activity. Land Use • The deteriorated appearance of North State Street tends to inhibit higher quality development in the area. • The physical condition of the uses on the railroad right-of-way behind the North State Street frontage also inhibits upgraded development in the North State Street area. In addition, it presents a poor community image when viewed from AMTRAK and the future commuter rail trains. • The unresolved mix of residential and automotive uses in the blocks bounded by Tyler and Roosevelt Streets has a blighting influence on residential upgrading in the area. • Automotive and other industrial uses along Tyler Street, North State Street and the railroad right-of-way create potential toxic clean-up problems for an upgraded use of the areas. • Noise and odor problems from automotive uses have some negative impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhoods. • The very small lots in the Village area are difficult to develop under existing city parking standards. • Drive-up uses for financial institutions along Carlsbad Village Drive consume relatively large land areas. • Large office projects and the residential-to-commercial conversion of existing structures have removed housing from the Village area and have substantially eroded the sense of neighborhoods. • A significant portion of the existing housing stock is physically deteriorated. Urban Design • There is no sense of arrival at the ocean end of Carlsbad Village Drive and little feeling within the Village that this is an oceanfront location. • The linkage between the areas east and west of the railroad tracks is weak. • The Carlsbad Village Drive entry to the area exhibits little of the Village character that is seen elsewhere in the area. • The North State Street entry to the Village presents a poor image. • Several of the streets in the Village are exceptionally wide for the current traffic volumes and detrimental to the reinforcement of a village character. • There are many large areas of paving with little landscaping. • Night pedestrian lighting, especially in the residential areas, is inadequate to promote a feeling of safety. 4-2 • Few retail shop windows are adequately lit at night. Marketing and Implementation • The Village is isolated in the far northwest comer of the City. • The rich history of the area is little evident in the Village. • High land costs make most types of development difficult. • Short-term development opportunities are likely to be limited except in the area of affordable housing because of general economic and real estate development conditions in California. • Initially the Redevelopment Agency has only limited tax increment funds to invest in the Village area. • The Downtown Association represents only a small proportion of businesses downtown and their good efforts are limited by an absence of funding and a total reliance on volunteer labor. • Non-uniform business hours and some stores ( antiques and collectibles) which operate on irregular schedules have a negative effect on shopper attitudes. RECOMMENDED VISION During interviews and the public workshops, the issue of a vision for Carlsbad Village was explored. No clear comprehensive vision was put forward, but the following components seemed to be shared by a strong majority of the participants : • The Village should serve as Carlsbad's downtown. • Although tourism should be encouraged, most of the businesses in the Village can't survive on tourism alone. • The Village should continue to accommodate a wide range of uses. • The Village should continue to be the financial institution center of Carlsbad. • The Village should serve as a specialty retail center for the larger region. • The plan for the Village should capitalize on the planned NCTD commuter rail station. • Additional housing should be added to the Village but it should be of a higher quality than currently exists there. • The Village should maintain its small scale character. While the emphasis should not be as heavily on tourism, the area should nevertheless have the charm and quality of other coastal communities like Carmel and Santa Barbara. The goals and objectives outlined later in this section and the development strategies recommended for consideration in Section 5 have been developed based upon this general vision direction. An overall concept plan and visual images of the Carlsbad Village of the future are shown in Figure 4-1. Major components of the vision are as follows : 4-3 • The Village should serve both as a tourist center and as the commercial heart of substantial population which lives within 5 miles ( Figure 4-2 ). • The area west of the A.T. & S.F. Railroad tracks will continue to be focused on tourist-serving accommodations as is consistent with the policies of the California Coastal Commission. • A sense of destination and arrival will be created at the western terminus of Carlsbad Village Drive to better establish the area's oceanside setting. • Stronger pedestrian linkages will be created between State Street and Carlsbad Boulevard through additional urban design improvements and commercial intensification. • Intensification of development in the existing retail heart of the Village along State Street will be encouraged. • Additional public parking resources will be developed over time and more intense development will be encouraged through the establishment of a parking district. • A community use magnet such as a small performing arts space, community multi-use hall or cinema will become a focus of night-time and weekend activities. • North State Street and the railroad right-of-way will be cleaned up to serve as a mixed use area including residential which is convenient to the commuter rail station. • Focused efforts will be placed on the establishment of a mixed commercial, retail and residential area built around the cultural heritage of the Hispanic community as a Village attraction and as a stimulus to revitalization activities in the Barrio. • The Village will be considered as the site of the new Carlsbad City Hall which is to be constructed within the next ten to fifteen years. • Existing housing will be improved, new housing will be built and the overall sense of a neighborhood will be strengthened. • The scale and character of buildings will reflect a village atmosphere and will distinguish Carlsbad Village from other areas of the community and other communities of the region. 4-4 Objective 3.3 Limit commercial development in and adjacent to the residential neighborhoods to a type and scale suitable to a residential environment Objective 3.4 Improve the current housing stock in the Village Objective 3.5 Increase the number of residential units in the Village Objective 3.6 Provide a broad mix of housing opportunities in the Village Goal 4 : Enhance the Area's Village Character Objective 4.1 Encourage better utilization of small sites Objective 4.2 Adopt appropriate development standards and design guidelines to achieve a village character Objective 4.3 Improve the design review process to achieve a stronger village character Objective 4.4 Assist property owners in architectural, signing and landscaping improvements to their property Objective 4.5 Improve the visual character of the North State Street area Goal 5 : Improve the Village's Competitive Position Objective 5.1 Increase the Village's attractiveness to Carlsbad residents Objective 5.2 Strengthen the current Downtown Business Association Objective 5.3 Enhance the uniqueness of the Village area Objective 5.4 Improve promotion of the area's unique history 4-9 Section 5 REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES OPPORTUNITY AREAS In Figure 5-1 we have identified the Village areas where significant change might occur in the next fifteen years. In arriving at these areas, we have considered many factors including blight, land ownerships, under-utilization of parcels and potential market opportunities. The identification of these properties does not in any way suggest that the Redevelopment Agency will acquire any of them or that the Agency will encourage projects in these locations. Rather, they are areas where change is likely and where the Agency may wish to exert some degree of influence in guiding future changes when they occur. Also the identification of an area does not mean that all current uses in each sub-area are likely to change in the future. Indeed, some areas contain structures and uses which are likely to remain for some time although change may occur around them. The areas identified in Figure 5-1 are as follows : A) This area contains one-story structures and a fair amount of vacant land and areas devoted to surface parking. Approximately sixty percent of the area is under one land ownership. Its prime location may over time lend itself to more intensive development. B) This block contains the Alt Karlsbad building, the potential site of a new Carlsbad Historic Museum, surface parking on leased land for Village Faire and a few other commercial and residential structures. Its location along a prime linkage between State Street and Carlsbad Boulevard, nearness to the future commuter rail station and proximity to Village Faire suggest that development in portions of this area will be intensified in the future. C) This largely vacant area is currently under a limited number of ownerships and has already been proposed for development in the past. D) The A.T. & S.F. right-of-way is currently occupied by a mix of automotive and industrial-type uses. The North County Transit District has tentative plans to acquire this property as a part of the future commuter rail station complex. E) Located at a prime location with views of Buena Vista Lagoon, these parcels are vacant except for a small area occupied by deteriorated structures. F) This area is occupied by a variety of uses including automotive repair shops, a coin-operated laundry facility and one commercial structure. The area is generally blighted in appearance. G) Occupied by similar uses as "F," this area also contains a self-serve car wash, mobile home park and other small service uses and offices. The Roosevelt Street frontage also includes several deteriorated residential units. H) This area is similar to both areas "F' and "G." I) All of this area except the one parcel at the corner of Christianson Way is owned by the City of Carlsbad. J) This large parcel is now largely devoted to fenced outdoor storage. 5-1 K) Vacant parcels. L) Old and small structures converted to commercial use. M) Most of this area is occupied by public parking lots ( owned and leased by the City ). The remaining parcels mainly contain small residential structures, some of which have been converted to commercial use. N) Three small houses flanked on either side by larger office structures. 0) Large parking lot and drive-through banking facility for Bank of California. P) Property occupied by the Good Shepherd Assembly of God Church. The church is reportedly growing in membership and while they have no plans to relocate at the present time, they might consider a land trade or buyout sometime in the future. Q) This parcel contains a large drive-up banking facility for the Security Pacific Bank. R) This area contains a wide mix of uses in a fairly dense development pattern. Because of the nature of the uses and its location adjacent to Carlsbad Village Drive and existing public parking, it has potential to change in the future. S) This area contains a public parking lot ( leased by the. City ) and four smaller structures at least two of which are in marginal condition. It is also adjacent to the public parking lot located on the A.T. & S.F. right-of-way. T) Most of this area is currently devoted to the City of Carlsbad Maintenance Yard. U) A mix of automotive uses and small houses, most badly deteriorated, occupy these parcels. V) Similar to area "U." IMPLEMENTATION OVERVIEW A Preliminary Implementation Strategy will be prepared during Phase 2. However, a few opportunities and constraints should be kept in mind as the recommended strategies are reviewed : Funding To date funding for the implementation of Carlsbad's redevelopment program has been derived from two primary sources: (1) the proceeds from tax allocation bonds supported by tax increment revenues, and (2) loans from the City to the Redevelopment Agency. These funds have been used to cover the cost of constructing streetscape improvements, providing added parking resources, improving housing conditions, and paying for ongoing operating expenses. Although the redevelopment project produces approximately $ 2 million in tax increment revenues, nearly all of these revenues are currently committed to the repayment of the tax allocation bonds and city loans. Thus only limited funding is available for ongoing implementation activities. Although limited revenues currently act as a constraint on implementation, it is reasonable to expect significant increases in tax increment revenues over time. Such increases are likely to be generated by annual percentage increases in property values, increases resulting from property sales, and rehabilitation and new construction. A substantial increase in the size of the existing redevelopment project or the creation of a new redevelopment 5-3 project ( merged into the existing project ) could also produce a substantial mcrease in annual tax increment revenues and funding available for implementation. Although funding for some redevelopment activities may not be immediately available, funds for low and moderate income housing assistance are currently accessible. State Law requires that twenty percent of all annual tax increment collections must be set aside for that purpose and utilized within five years of collections. Since Carlsbad as a whole has a median household income in excess of$ 40,000, housing assistance may include units for families with household incomes of up to $ 50,000. Acquisition Limits Successful implementation of the Master Plan for Carlsbad Village may require the acquisition of some private property. Although it is anticipated that nearly all of such acquisition will be accomplished on a voluntary, opportunity by opportunity, basis some resort to the use of eminent domain may be required. When the Redevelopment Plan for the Village was adopted, a twelve-year time limit was established on the Agency's ability to acquire property through eminent domain. Since one of the most significant powers granted cities through California Redevelopment Law is the use of eminent domain to remove blight and support private investment initiatives through assistance in development parcel assembly, the loss of this power limits Agency implementation options. While the City could amend the Redevelopment Plan to extend that authority, the benefits of that action would need to be weighed against the potential consequences of re-opening the issue of tax increment distributions. California Coastal Commission The revised Village Master Plan and Design Manual will need to be reviewed and approved by the Coastal Commission as an amendment to Carlsbad's Local Coastal Plan ( LCP ). Certain Commission policies may limit land uses west of the A. T. & S.F. Railroad tracks. Special Development Standards Since the Village is the oldest developed section of Carlsbad, small parcel sizes often with narrow but deep proportions pose unique development problems not encountered elsewhere in the City. In addition the built-out nature of the area poses obstacles to the assembly of these lots into more easily developable parcels. Therefore, to stimulate new development to eliminate blight and upgrade the Village area, special standards different from those used elsewhere in the City may need to be adopted. Market Constraints The general condition of the economy, the special problems currently associated with real estate financing, the lack of larger development parcels and the relatively high cost of land in the Village all suggest that near-term real estate development within Carlsbad Village will be modest in quantity. 5-4 Some units might have to be made available for nightly rental in accordance with California Coastal Commission policies. Site H could over time become a series of mixed-use developments ( i.e., residential over commercial ). They would reinforce the linkage discussed in Strategy 3 as well as take advantage of their location adjacent to the future commuter rail station. Parking for the Village Faire complex on leased parcels within this area is only one of many issues which would need to be worked out. Carlsbad Village Master Plan & Implementation Strategy 5-25 Cannon Design Group Keyser Marston Associates John B. Dykstra & Associates JHK & Associates • Visually Reduce Street Widths Several streets in the Village areas are far wider than needed to handle the current traffic volumes. A visit to most any city which has a "village character" will reveal that streets are relatively narrow and heavily landscaped. A reduction in the barrier of wide streets will assist in the overall image of the Village. This could be accomplished by repeating the street median treatments already installed on Roosevelt and Madison Streets or by adding planting pockets with trees in the existing parking areas on each side of the designated streets. • Reinforce the Existing Parkway System The Village area at one time had a fairly strong parkway system ( i.e., a landscaped strip between the curb and sidewalk ) but much of it has been lost to new development To the degree possible, it should be recovered, reinforced and extended, to soften the area's urban design character. • Add Historical Markers A variety of graphic signs would be placed around the Village to show early images of the City and convey the richness of the area's heritage. STRATEGY20 REGULA TE THE SIZE OF BUILDINGS TO MAINTAIN A VILLAGE CHARACTER The City of Carmel encourages a village scale and atmosphere by controlling the size of development. The Downtown Ordinance limits building site coverage, maximum site size, maximum allowable floor area ratio ( i.e., total building area compared to parcel site area), maximum single structure size, building heights, second story setbacks, driveway widths and building length along the front of a parcel. The ordinance encourages small lot development and gives the Design Review Board a head start in dealing with larger developments. STRATEGY21 PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL FACADE AND SIGNAGE DESIGN ASSISTANCE The Agency can encourage property owners to make improvements to their buildings by providing some initial design assistance at no cost to the owner. This allows the property or business owner to consider improvements without the intimidation and financial commitment of having to hire an architect or graphic designer without first having a clear picture of the scope of improvements. This process might be tied to a grant or loan program. With respect to signage, just getting new signs for a significant number of Village businesses would do a great deal to increase the area's "village atmosphere." 5-27 Organization STRATEGY22 STRENGTHEN THE DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION The current Association is good but has limited membership and financial resources. It needs to be strengthened and made a stronger partner in the downtown revitalization process with some specific responsibilities. One responsibility might be for a Downtown Improvement District discussed below. Another could be the hiring of a Downtown Coordinator whose full or part-time job would be to represent the Association's interests and coordinate their activities. Many downtown associations in California fund such a position. Other activities for the Downtown Association might be the preparation, printing and updating of a higher quality Business Map and Directory than that currently distributed. They might also establish a summertime "market night" to include a farmers' market, food vendors, craft vendors and entertainment. San Luis Obispo has a very successful ''Thursday Night Market" which draws large crowds to their downtown area where many businesses remain open on those nights. STRATEGY23 ESTABLISH A PARKING AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT California State Law contains provisions which allow a city to establish a Parking and Business Improvement District. Hearings are held and a district becomes effective unless written protests are received from owners of businesses which would pay fifty percent or more of the assessments in the proposed area. Funds from the assessments can be used for a) the funding of specific public improvements, b) providing parking, c) supporting business area promotions and d) maintaining public improvements. The City Council appoints an Advisory Board to make recommendation on the expenditure of revenues so the business community can strongly influence the use of the funds. While the current business community might not wish to participate in such a district now, it is not unreasonable to expect their participation if the Agency continues to financially support revitalization efforts in the area. 5-28 Strategies and Goals Comparative Matrix Table 5- C) -"' C") ~ .,, co "'-co 0) ~ -~ ~I -"' C") ~ .,, co "'-co 0) -------..... -.....

Feb·92 Appendix C VILLAGE VISION APPENDIX C-1 SELECTIVE INTERVIEWS SUMMARY distances. With respect to the rehabilitation of ex1snng residential units as affordable housing, there seemed to be strong support although it was noted that the housing was probably already "affordable" and therefore wouldn't contribute to meeting the City's state-mandated requirements. Others expressed strong opinions that new market rate housing should be built in the Village to provide support for the businesses and to provide a mix of residents. 9. With regard to existing housing, it was noted that the Barrio area south of Oak A venue was rather stable and that until recently most property was passed down through families and rarely sold on the open real estate market While some property assembly in the area was reported, it still seemed that not much land speculation had occurred. Residents of the area appear to desire a downzoning of property to encourage the preservation of single family homes and prohibit apartment development, especially low cost housing. Townhouse scale development might be acceptable if owner occupied. That issue should be explored further in the evaluations related to the new Redevelopment Study Area to the south of the Village. Another important concept expressed was the creation of a uniquely Hispanic Center featuring shops, markets, craft studios, restaurants and professional offices. A focus along Roosevelt Street was suggested. The idea seems to have strong support well beyond the hispanic community. 10. A good deal of discussion revolved around the Latino Theatre and its future role in the Village. Most were enthusiastic concerning its reuse as a first run cinema similar to other single screen cinema operations in the County and believed that its use for cinema and perhaps other community uses (including the performing arts) would be a strong catalyst for economic growth in the Village. Most, however, recognize that the cost of renovation may be very high and do not yet have a feeling whether any public assistance would be appropriate to bring about its reuse. 11. Another area of substantial discussion was the North State Street area. The mix of uses were felt by many to be inappropriate to the emerging Carlsbad Village and should be relocated. Others felt that the uses were generally not bad neighbors and should be left but with some significant efforts to improve their visual appearance (It was especially noted that the view from the railroad tracks which will become more prominent in the future with increased rail passenger service projects a slum- like image of Carlsbad). 12. The large number of Village medical offices was ·discussed. Convenience to public transit, proximity to the Senior Center and other business services, the ease of driving downtown and parking, and the shortage of other viable locations were put forward as reasons for the current concentration. Apparently a great deal of interest exists on the part of medical practitioners and developers for additional offices in the area. To date, however, the City's parking standards have restrained some of that demand. 3 It was noted that artists cannot currently live in Carlsbad given the high prices. Consideration of some affordable housing targeted to artists as live/work accommodations was suggested by some interviewees. Some discussion was held regarding the need for a performing arts facility. Currently the City shares the 410 seat Cultural Arts Center with the school district but getting adequate access time is difficult. Even a small "black box" theatre would apparently be a welcome addition to the community and might be considered in the Village area. There are reportedly not many active theater groups in Carlsbad today, but there are a number in the North County who might be drawn to a performance facility. 20. The hotel market in Carlsbad is currently in poor economic health due to general economic conditions and overbuilding along the Interstate 5 corridor. Occupancies are reported down and room rates are being substantially discounted -at least in the freeway-oriented motels. The beach hotels are apparently doing somewhat better. One problem expressed is that Carlsbad is "on the way to San Diego" and visitors seeking that destination don't really have a reason currently to stop in Carlsbad. Little additional hotel development was expected in the near term by interviewees given the overbuilding and difficulty in obtaining financing · but on a long term basis, they felt that additional small hotels were likely and desirable. The opinion was expressed, however, that any significant resort development would require ocean views. Additional Small Inns were also suggested to accommodate tourists and weekend visitors within the Village. 21. The history of the Village was discussed with several interviewees. Many photos and other items exist in the Carlsbad Public Library, at the Historical Society office in Magee Park, in Kay Christenson's home and at a central location in the Barrio. A parcel of land for a historical museum in the Village has been donated to the Historical Society by Mrs . Christenson but funds are not yet available for construction. In addition, the hispanic community would like to display photos and artifacts reflecting the history of the Barrio somewhere in the special complex referenced in #9 above. It was also noted that Carlsbad is rich in archaeological resources and considered one of the richest sources of pre-history fossils and dinosaur bones in California. With respect to architectural historic resources, the ones mentioned were the Twin Inns, the Depot, the Magee House and other structures in Magee Park, the Royal Palms (Fidel Norte), the Carlsbad by the Sea Retirement Home (previously the Carlsbad Mineral Springs Hotel) and a number of bungalows in the Barrio. These resources are generally spread out rather than clustered in one location. 22. The new walkway along the beach bluff immediately south of the Village has apparently drawn many people to the area to stroll or jog. The opinion was expressed that a way to draw these people into the Village is needed. One suggestion was family-oriented activities including a carousel somewhere near the 5 there is a strong need to reestablish some positive momentum. It was noted that recent economic conditions have resulted in property values actually decreasing which negatively affects the area's tax increments. 28. Some comment was made that the City has emphasized public improvements in the Village area over the past few years. And, that it is now time to emphasize economic development though programs to more directly stimulate private investment 29. Differences of op1mon existed as to the profile of a typical village merchant. Generally, however, it seemed that it might be an individual sole proprietor with one full time and perhaps one or two additional part time employees. This small size has made it difficult to encourage programs of staying open later on some evenings and other customer base enlargement techniques used by competing shopping center businesses. The small size also often makes participation in Merchants Association activities and programs difficult. 30. The Chamber of Commerce has in the past assisted Village businesses by walking them though the City's approval process. They have also sponsored educational programs to help developers better understand the approval process and the proper submittal of applications. 31. The City's Transient Occupancy Tax (T.O.T.) is currently at 10% with 2% of that total committed to recreation facilities approved by the voters on a special ballot measure. The remainder of the funds are placed in the City's General Fund. A set amount of funds is not automatically devoted to the Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau or the arts community as is often done in some other cities. One technique has been to allocate a base amount of funds to an organization and then provide a dollar for dollar match of funds raised by the organization. 32. Several different estimates of lease rates were expressed. Office rents appear to be in the $1.30 to $1.60 per sq. ft. range and retail rents were estimated at about $ 1.50 although rents as low as $1.00 and as high as $2.00 per sq. ft were also mentioned. Rental rates in the new Village Faire were generally higher with $2.00 per sq. ft. mentioned. 33. The need to provide additional child care facilities was mentioned. Also noted was the need for public restrooms in the Village. 34. The 1987 Beach Overlay Plan for the area south of the Village was discussed. One element of that plan of relevance was the recommendation of a linear park along the railroad corridor. In that context and others, the point was made to not forget the strong appeal of the Buena Vista Lagoon as a people magnet and visual asset to the Village. 7 APPENDIX C-2 WORKSHOPS SUMMARY CARLSBAD MASTER PLAN and IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY Workshop Summary A total of 28 people attended the two workshops held on December 11 and 12, 1991. While the turnout was lower than expected, those individuals who did attend engaged in a spirited discussion of the issues. Much of the December 11 Village Workshop was dominated by the issue of North State Street's future. Several of the Workshop participants will be affected by the proposed commuter rail station and the County has already contacted many of the lessees on the railroad right-of-way concerning relocation. Most owners and tenants from the North State Street Area who attended the workshop expressed a strong desire to stay in their current locations and a willingness to improve the visual appearance of their businesses. A separate breakfast meeting was held on Friday with ten to twelve of the affected businesses to better understand the businesses and their specific problems. The December 12 Workshop which was devoted to the community at large was broader in terms of discussion items although smaller in the number of participants. During both workshops, the Planning Team gave an overview of their workscope and schedule, outlined the problems and concerns which had emerged during early investigations, discussed possible broad alternative visions for the Village, and showed slides which demonstrated some of the physical characteristics of a village. In general, workshop participants felt that the Village should serve the City of Carlsbad as their downtown area with a broad mix of uses. They felt that while tourism uses were desirable, tourist-orientation should be secondary to community-serving uses. And finally, most participants felt that while the City must face the need to provide affordable housing, additional lower income housing in the Village Area was undesirable since the general area already has the bulk of lower cost housing in Carlsbad. A Workshop Questionnaire was distributed to each participant. Additional questionnaires were given to those who had businesses in the Village and those who were residents of Carlsbad. Not everyone completed the questionnaires so no broad generalizations can be drawn. Ten general Workshop Questionnaires, eleven Business Owners' Surveys and five Carlsbad Residents' Surveys were returned. A summary of tabulated results is attached for multiple choice questions. Some highlights of the opinion questions are noted below: Business Owners' Survey 12. In your view, what kind of image does Carlsbad have? The responses were generally positive. Most felt that the image was good. Only one respondent went beyond adjectives to define the image as an Antiques Center. 1 23. Please describe the profile of your typical customer.
