Preface This document has been prepared to serve a variety of purposes. First, the Village Master Plan and Design Manual is the City of Carlsbad's Official Statement of design, land use and redevelopment strategy policy for the Village Redevelopment Area; it ~mplements the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan which is the legal document that establishes the boundaries of the redevelopment area and sets forth the framework for redevelopment activities. Second, the Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual, the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan, together with the implementing ordinances and Manual of Policies and Procedures serve as the Local Coastal Program for the area pursuant to requirements of the California Coastal Act. • For the purposes of this document, the term "Master Plan" shall mean a "plan which gives overall guidance for redevelopment activities within the Village Redevelopment Area". The Village Redevelopment Plan is basically a specific plan which implements the General Plan for the City of Carlsbad within the Village Redevelopment Area. The Village Master Plan and Design Manual document is an implementing document which further specifies the land use policy and redevelopment strategy for the Village. The document establishes a "Vision" for the ideal future character and development of the Village Redevelopment Area and then sets forth an implementation strategy or "roadmap" for obtaining the goals identified for the area by: • 1B Providing guidance to propeny owners, merchants, and others interested in development or property improvements within the Village; 1B Providing guidance to City staff members in interpreting planning and zoning requirements for properties within the Village; 1B Providing the Design Review Board with principles, standards and design guidelines which_ may be applied to proposed improvements within the Village; and, 1B Providing a strategy for implementing various programs/projects to assist in eliminating blight and revitalizing the Village Redevelopment Area. Upon approval by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission of the City of Carlsbad, this entire document shaU replace the Village Design Manual adopted in 1982 and amended and cenified by the Coastal Commission in 1988. For portions of the Village which are within the Coastal Zone, the land uses, standards and guidelines contained within this document shall not become effective until this _amended document has been approved and certified by the State Coastal Commission or by its Executive Director pursuant to Coastal Commission regulations. This docwnent is divided into three (3) sections. Section 1 contains a brief history of the redevelopment area, a vision for the Village, goals and objectives and instructions for using the Manual. Section 2 consists of Chapters 2 through 8 which make up the Village Design Manual for the Village Redevelopment Area. This document is referenced in the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan and serves as the official statement of design and land use policy for the Village. Section 3 contains the Implementation Program, or Strategy, for the redevelopment area for the next approximately ten (10) years of the Village Redevelopment Plan. The Village Design Manual (Section 2) primarily focuses on private development and public improvements related to development within the area. The Implementation Program addresses such issues as cultural activities, historic preservation, business attraction/retention and other activities which assist in the revitalization of the redevelopment area. ) 1 TABLE OF·CONTENTS This document is divided into three (3) general sections: Section I -Introduction: Chapter 1 Section 2 -Village Design Manual: Chapters 2 through 8 Section 3 -Implementation Strategy Chapter 9 1 INTRODUCTION -VILLAGE DESIGN MANUAL History .............................................. 1-1 How to Use Manual.. ....................... 1-3 Vision, Goals & Objectives ............. 1-4 2 LAND USES Organizational Concept .................... 2.;. 1 Functional Components .................... 2-2 Districts/Parcel Numbers .................. 2-9 Land Use Key ................................ 2-23 Land Use Chans by District. ......... 2-25 Provisional Land Uses .................... 2-33 Non-Conforming Uses ................... 2-65 Special Opportunities ..... _ ............... 2-66 3 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Regulatory Framework ..................... 3-1 Boundaries ........................................ 3-2 Universal Standards .......................... 3-3 District 1 Standards .......................... 3-6 District 2 Standards .......................... 3-8 District 3 Standards ....................... .3-10 District 4 Standards ........................ 3-12 District 5 Standards ........................ 3-14 District 6 Standards ........................ 3-16 District 7 Standards ........................ 3-18 District 8 Standards ........................ 3-20 District 9 Standards ........................ 3-22: 4 DESIGN GUIDELINES Basic Design Principles ................... .4-1 Site Planning ..................................... 4-2 Parking & Access ............................. 4-4 Building Forms ................................. 4-7 Roof Forms ....................................... 4-9 Building Facades ............................ 4-11 Commercial Storefronts ................. .4-15 Residential.. .................................... 4-18 Interim Conditions ......................... .4-21 5 SIGNAGE Regulations/Applicability ................. 5-1 Maximum Signage ........................... 5-3 Wall Sign Standards ......................... 5-4 Projecting Sign Standards ................ 5-6 Awning Sign Standards .................... 5-8 Banner Sign Standards ..................... 5-9 Neon Sign Standards ...................... 5-10 Marquee Sign Standards ... -............ 5-11 Hanging Sign Standards ................. 5-12 Window Sign Standards ................. 5-13 Plaque Sign Standards .................... 5-14 Menu Sign Statnadards ...... -........... 5-15 Address Sign Standards ................. 5-16 Tenant Directory Standards ............ 5-17 Monument/Ground Signs ... ·--····· ... .5-18 Sign Demonstration ........................ 5-21 l l TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 PARKING PROGRAM Parking Plan ..................................... 6-1 Requirements .................................... 6-2 Parking Options .............................. 6-5 Parking In-Lieu Fee Program .......... 6-6 Public Parking Management. ........... 6-8 In-Lieu Fee ....................................... 6-8 Parking Management Plan ............. 6-11 Parking Improvements ................... 6-11 Time Restricted Parking ................ 6-12 7 DESIGN REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL PROCESS Redevelopment Permits .................... 7-1 Permit Types Chart ........................... 7-2 Authority Approvals ........................ 7-3 Proccesing Permits ........................... 7-4 Process Chart .................................... 1.:.5 8 CIRCULATION PLANS Vehicle Circulation .......................... 8-1 Pedestrian Circulation ...................... 8-2 9 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY Introduction ............................. 9-1 Financing ................................. 9-2 Circulation Improvements ....... 9-3 Public Improvements ............... 9-3 Transporation ........................... 9-3 Cultural Facilities .................... 9-4 Historic Preservation ............... 9-5 Economic Restructuring .......... 9-6 Building Improvements ........... 9-6 Roles & Responsibi liti.es ......... 9-7 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES: I.Carlsbad Village Area ............. 1-1 18. 2 Hour Parking Zon~ ......... 6-12 2.

In the mid-I 880's an underground mineral water stream was tapped by John A. Frazier and the City was later named after the European spa city of Karlsbad, Bohemia in an effort to promote the fledgling City. The Village Area experienced early days of glory with the construction of large hotels and spas, but one hundred years later, by the 1980's, was beset by problems common to many older downtowns. Buildings were in many cases seriously dilapidated, competition from modem shopping centers had sucked away much of the area's commercial vitality and the small lot sizes and patterns made new construction to current City development standards difficult and in some ·cases impossible. In response to these problems, the Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Commission established the Village Arca as. a Redevelopment Project Arca under California Redevelopment Law in 1981 (Figure I). Using the powers granted by that law, the City proceeded to address blighted conditions within the Village. Codes were enforced, some properties were acquired, public parking lots were established, overhead utilities were undergroW1dcd, public improvements were constructed and a host of other actions were taken with highly visible results. The Redevelopment Plan and accompanying Village Design Manual C .. • u 0 CurM1ad Village Area History --~ = • -· --------=-g = . -~ ~~-~ g Figure I INTRODUCfION 1-1 History INTRODUCTION were used as the basis for the City's Local Coastal Plan under the California Coastal Act and a separate chapter of the City's Zoning Ordinance was prepared for the Village Redevelopment Area. In 1986, a Carlsbad Redevelopment Area Economic, Circulation and Design Study was undertaken by a private consulting team to asses the progress which had been accomplished since 1981 and to set planning, design and implementation priorities for the immediate future. Those studiea and the resulting public imprqvements served to reinforce the visions of the Village aa outlined in the original Village Design Manual which was updated in 1988. After ten (10) years of effort in redeveloping the Village Area, the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency decided it was time again to step back and look at the actions that had been taken to date to eliminate blight and economically enhance the downtown area. In 1992, the Agency initiated a comprehensive review/planning process to refine the vision for the downtown area, establish more appropriate land use requirements, define a supportive development scale and character, and develop a new strategy to further guide and coordinate public and private investment within the Village Redevelopment Area. The primary purpose of the comprehensive review was to establish a "vision" for what the Village would look like when the term of the Redevelopment Plan expires and then develop the "roadmap• for getting to the vision of the future downtown. It was very important for the Redevelopment Agency to take a look at "where it had been" and "where it was going." Extensive interviews with Carlsbad residents, business people, property owners, and community leaders were conducted and public workshops were held to assist in defining problems and the future role of the Village within the City of Carlsbad. Technical studies addressing land use, circulation, parking and future economic potentials were completed by the consultant team, led by the Cannon Design Group. To assist in providing further insight into the history and future vision for the Village Area and to provide community feedback, the City Council appointed an eleven member (with 2 alternates) Master Plan Citizens Advisory Committee. The Committee ·consisted of: one Planning Commissioner; one Traffic Safety Commissioner, two Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee Members; one representative of the Village Business Association; one Village Business owner; one citizen-at-large; and, one representative from each of the four quadrants of the City. There were also two alternates assigned to the Committee which generally served as full voting members related to the various actions taken by the Committee. The Master Plan Advisory Committee held extensive public meetings to review and comment on the consultant team•e evaluation of current problems, recommended strategies and proposed land use, parking and design regulations. The Committee provided an excellent representation of interested parties throughout the City and was quite effective in indentifying a "vision" for the Village Redevelopment Area and developing appropriate goala and objectives for future activities. \ -z. .

Meet with Housing and Redevelopment Staff HOW TO USE THE VILLAGE DESIGN MANUAL This flow chart is intended to assist persons in understanding the organization of this Village Design Manual. In developing the Manual. the intent was to provide an easy to read document which progresses in a rational approach based on the order in which project applicants will need to resolve questions and issues as related to a proposed project or activity to be developed within the Village Redevelopment Area. The Manual can be used for the purposes of determining the acceptability of a project and the regulations governing development in the Village. It is organized in a manner which allows a project applicant to move from the basic question regarding permitted/desired land uses to the more complex issues related to project design and the process to gain approval of the project by the City/Redevelopment Agency. If at any time. a project applicant is in doubt about a project or is confused by the information provided within this Manual. he/she is encouraged to contact the City of Calsbad's Housing and Redevelopment Depanment directly for clarification purposes. It is also always recommended that a project applicant meet directly with staff of the Housing and Redevelopment Department before proceeding with the final subm~ttal of a project application.

The Village Redevelopment Area is divided into nine (9) land use districts which represent the various functional components described in the previous sections. The districts are identified below and shown on the map to the right as well as on Figure 3 (page 2-9). District 1: Carlsbad Village Center District 2: Office Support District 3: Freeway Commercial Support District 4: Residential Support District 5: Hispanic Mixed Use Support District 6: Service Commercial Support District 7: Office Support District 8: Residential Support • District 9: Tourism Support J I . -· .. , . '\•p'· . '• ~. ~-· . The charts which follow this page list the various types of land uses and identify whether or not a use is "permitted", "provisional", "accessory", or "not permitted" within the noted land use district. <•) Permitted Uses are those which are permitted by right because they are considered to be consistent with the vision and goals established for each district within the Village boundaries. Although these land uses may be permitted by right, satisfactory completion of the Design Review process and compliance with all other requirements of the Redevelopment Permit process is still required for the permitted use. (0) Provisional Uses are those which are permitted subject to discretionary approval (by either the Housing and Redevelopment Director or the appropriate decision making authority). They are approved based upon findings that the use is consistent with the Village vision and goals under specific conditions imposed by the permit. Uses in this category require special scrutiny concerning location, size, and anticipated impact on adjacent uses. For the purposes of land use policy within the Village, the term "provisional use" replaces the term "conditional use" which is used within the Carlsbad Municipal Code. (A) Accessory Uses are those which are incidental and subordinate to the primary permitted or approved use.- 00 Not Permitted means that a land use is not consistent with the permitted or provisional uses of a district or does not achieve the long range goals of the Village Redevelopment Area. Therefore, these uses will be prohibited within the specified land use district. Non-Confonniog Uses: A property owner should refer to page 2~5 for information on "non-conforming" land uses. In general, if an existing use is noted as "not permitted" in the following land use charts, the use will be allowed to remain until 1) it ceases to exist; 2) the property is abandoned for a period of 6 months or longer; or 3) their is a proposed change in use. Non-conforming uses, however, will not be allowed to expand or intensify. Enforcement of Permits: The enforcement of all approved permits shall be governed by Chapters 21.35 and 21.58 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, which includes the process for revocation of permits. Revocation of permit proceedings shall be conducted by the original approving body. l l l l ALLOWABLE LAND USES On the following pages, land use charts are provided which list the various types of land uses which are permitted, provisional, accessory or not pennitted as a result of adoption of this land use plan within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. The uses are listed alphabetically by category of land use and according to land use district. For example, for infonnation on where a motel could be located within the Village Redevelopment Area, an applicant/developer would find "motel" (use) under the "commercial services" (category) within the land use chart and learn that motels are permitted by right in land use district 9, provisionally permitted in districts 1 and 3, and not permitted in districts 2, 4 through 8. There are eight (8) land use categories listed within the following land use charts. The categories are identified and defined below: 1. Commercial Services. These are uses where there is generally an ex~hange or buying and selling of a service commodity.

Arcades can provide entertainment. and a social focus for young adults in the community. However, they can also create a foci of behavior which can be disruptive to other commercial activities and to nearby residential development. 2. Since arcade games can be relatively expensive to play over extended time periods, the activity in arcades often involves numbers of youth periodically participating as spectators. This pattern can result in a relatively high number of occupants compared to the number of machines and in a potential loitering problem on adjacent public sidewalks. 3. Younger users may arrive at the arcade on bicycles which often arc allowed to litter sidewalks in and adjacent to the business, resulting in obstacles to pedestrian movements. 4. Arcades in primary shopping area generally interrupt retail continuity. 5. Other on-premise uses and the number of machines are relevant issues. Arcade machines which are subsidiary to other major uses such as a cinema are generally not a major problem since their primary function is to provide entertainment while patrons are engaging in or waiting for other events. In contrast. large numbers of machines which serve as the major draw of the business are likely to have a different user profile. l Location and Development Criteria I. Arcades should not be placed on sidewalks adjacent to primary pedestrian streets. 2. Arcades should not be located in areas where they would interrupt existing or anticipated retail continuity. 3. Arcades which are intended as primary destinations should be located near public parking lots. 4. Arcades in Land Use District 3 should generally be limited to tenancies within larger shopping complexes with adequate parking and facilities for bicycle parking. S. Unless an adequate supply of public bicycle racks are located nearby, arcades should provide on-premise racb or install public racks in a location and manner acceptable to the City. 6. Locations and/or hours of operation should be such as to minimi1.e any conflicts between the use and Village residences. .... ) Amusement Game Arcades Definition A retail use which provides five or more 11111use111ent g11111e dnica such IIS ritleo gaes, pinball •adli•a or other similar 111«h11nia,J anti electronic amus•tnt tlnica. PROVISIONAL USE -STANDARDS Amusement Game Arcades PROVISIONr USE STANDARD Findings In order for this use to receive a Rede,•elopment Permit. it should be consistent with the following findings: I . The Arcade will not interrupt retail continuity or pedestrian movement: 2. Adequate parking for vehicles and bicycles exist either on-site ot in nearby public resources. 3. Adequate planning has been conducted to minimize loitering activities which could negatively impact adjacent uses. 4. The location and/or hours of operation are such that activity and noise impacts on Village residents are likely to be minimal. Considerations 1. ATM's have become an accepted and valued convenience for most bank customers. 11,ey allow relatively rapid transactions that save customers time and are often available in locations other than parent financial institutions. They serve to support adjacent commercial uses by providing a ready source of cash for shoppers including tourists. 2. Parking is often an issue. Because most transactions are rapid and generally take less than a minute of actual machine time, users are often tempted to park illegally while using the machines. This can cause cireulation difficulties as well as create hazards for both motorists and pedestrians. 3. In some commercial locations. the demand for usage can create queues which conflict with pedestrian movements on the adjacent sidewalk and block display windows or entries to adjacent businesses. 4. Each bank's A TM has a standard design and appearance which can have a visual impact on the general character of a storefront. S. Security concerns related to ATM's result in a generally high level of illumination at and surrounding the machine location. Location and Development Criteria I . Machines should be located within I 00 feet of at least two short term parking spaces which are available to the user. 2. ATM's should not be located immediately adjacent to primary pedestrian sidewalks. Locations should be on sidewalks or within recesses where adequate use and queuing space exists. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I. The proposed location of the A TM will not adversely affect pedestrian traffic movements and will not result in negative impacts to adjacent uses. 2. The A TM is not expected to create additional parking and traffic problems in the area. 3. The appearance of the A TM and its related lighting and signage is appropriate to its location and the Village. 4. Adequate lighting and visibility provisions have been made for user safety. ) Automatic Teller Machines (ATM's) Definition Machines for the a11toatllic processing of balrking transactio,u including the dispensillg of casl, without assistance fro• on-lite employees. Ma~hines are generally mounted on b"ilding Mills anti •111 k installed adjaeent to f111acilll institutions or ill off-pronise locations. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Bars and Cocktail Lounges Definition A retail use which provides on-site alcoholic bnaag, sales for drinking on the pra,isa, including ban serving b«r, wine 1111dlor liquor to the customer where no person under 21 ~111'1 of age is 11d111itted and drinking establishments serving liquor in conjllllction with other u:sa which ad111it millon such 11$ restaurants and enttrtai11ment uses. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS I . Considerations 1. Bars arc often sources of late night noise near premise exits, around parking areas and on vehicular and pedestrian paths leading away from the premises. 2. Front facades arc often largely devoid of windows or covered with signs and other obstructions resulting in a gap in an otherwise interesting street facades. Location and Development Criteria J. Bars/Cocktail Lounges should not be located along frontages where they would disrupt retail continuity unless their frontage is limited to 25 feet or less. 2. Bars/Cocktail Lounges should not be located where they arc likely to adversely impact residential uses. 3. An adequate supply of parking should be located conveniently nearby. 4. Facades should be treated in manner similar ro other storefronts and should be designed with a Village character. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the J oil owing findings: 1. The Bar/Cocktail Lounge will not likely have a negative impact on Village residents. 2. Adequate parking is conveniently located near the premises. J. The exterior design of the facility and signage arc appropriate to the Village and compatible with adjacent uses. 5. Bars/Cocktail Lounges should not be located so as to create a concentration of this use in one area. In addition to the location and development criteria outlined herein, this use must also comply with the Carlsbad Municipal Code as related to bars/cocktail lounges. 2-37 Considentions I . Provisions for on-site parking can become visuaUy unattractive on small sites or on sites where existing residential structures have been converted to Bed and Breakfast uses. Parking which spills out onto residential street can be a particuiar nuisance lo adjacent residents. 2. The noise and activity of late evening arrivals and early morning departures can be disruptive to residents living near the site. Location ·and Development Criteria I . Parking areas should not be located adjacent to existing residences. ft'indings In order for this use to receive a· Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: 1. The Bed and Breakfast Inn can accommodate its parking requirement without disrupting the visual and landscape character of its Village sWTOundings. 2. The Bed and Breakfast Inn will not result in an llllacceptablc levels of noise which would disrupt adjacent or nearby residents. 3.

PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS I u Considentions 1. Many types of offices can be disruptive to retail continuity when located in commercial shopping areas because of their non-retail nature and generally inward-oriented character. 2. A significant portion of the parking spaces needed to serve office uses arc occupied by employees who are on-premises all or most of the work day. 3. Some office uses, such as real estate offices, arc more consumer-oriented and can be beneficial to a lively mix of uses if small enough in scale to avoid disrupting retail continuity. 4. Some developers may wish lo conslmcl typical speculative office buildings with large floor plates and extensive quantities of window area for maximum tenant subdivision flexibility. Such facilities arc likely to be out of scale and character in all areu of the Village. 5. Office uses will generally provide for their parking requirements on-site. Some sites with alley access can accommodate on-site parking without undue visual impact o_n the Village streetscape. Others may have more difficulty. 6. Office structures adjacent to residential uses can result in a loss of privacy for residents. .} Location and Development Criteria I. Ground floor office uses should not be located along commercial shopping streets where they would disrupt retail cmtinuity. An exception to this criterion would be real estate offices or other "walk-in" uses which arc strongly public consumer-oriented with a frontage of 50 feet or less. 2. Office uses arc generally appropriate on the upper floors where they do not impact retail continuity. 3. Offices should be allowed on lots which back up to or are adjacent to residential properties only where development plans demonstrate that only minimal impacts will result. f,'indings /11 order for this Ilse to recefre a R,:,lt•,·elopme111 Permit. it should he consistent with the following findings: I. The office development will be compatible in scale and character to the surrounding Village development. 2. The development is not likely to negatively impact existing or planned retail continuity in significant concentrations of commercial shops. 3. Sufficient on-site parking will be available to serve employee parking needs. 4. The office development will not result in an undue reduction of livability for adjacent residents. 2-39 Considentions 1. Some Business/Professional Services uses can be disruptive to retail continuity when located in commercial shopping areas because of their non-retail nature and generally inward-oriented character. Others are more drop-in customer. oriented and appropriate to retail areas except where they might occupy critical locations or occupy large street frontages. 2. A si1,rnificant portion of the parking spaces needed to serve office uses arc occupied by employees who are on-premises all or most of the work day. Location and Development Criteria 1. Growid floor usage in heavily retail-oriented areas should be limited to Business/ Professional Service tenants who provide drop- in services to the general public such as quick copying and desktop publishing. 2. Business/Professional Service uses are generally appropriate on upper floors, in courtyards or along commercial alleys where they do not impact retail continuity. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelop,,,ent Permit. it should be consistent ·with the following fi11dings: I . The Business/Professional Service use is not likely to negatively impact existing or planned retail continu~ty in significant conccntraticms of commercial shops. 2. Sufficient on-site parking will be available to serve employee parking needs. 3. Adequate short term parking exists in reasonable proximity to the use to accommodate drop-in customers. Business/ Professional Services Definition A retail use which provides dnical, duplicating and other senices to businesses 1111d the general public. PROVISIONAL USE . STANDARDS Child Care Centers Definition A day cart facility of any capacity, other than a family day care home as defutd in S«tion 2l.0I.U6 of the Carlsbllll Municipal Code, in which Im than twenty-four-hour per day non•tdiclll c11re and supervision is provided for children in a group setting indadiag nunay schools but not elementary schools. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Considerations I . Child care facilities require outdoor play areas. In some locations, these exterior areas could be subjected to physical or environmental conditions which might be injurious to the health of the children. 2. Drop off and pick up of children can create additional traffic in the immediate vicinity of the center as well as require short-term parking. Impacts on residents and potential traffic conflicts should be considered for specific locations. 3. Children playing in the outdoor areas around the center can produce noise levels which might negatively impact some residential uses. 4. Convenient child care centers could encourage increased utilization of the Village's commuter rail station. Location and Development Criteria I. Sites should enjoy case of vehicular access. 2. Parcels should be sufficiently large to accommodate on-site parking and waiting zones or should be able to accommodate these functions within the public right-of-way without negatively impacting traffic flows· or creating nuisances for occupants and/or. customers of adjacent businesses or residences. I . V Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit. it should be consistent with the following findings: I . The Child Care Center meets relevant State of California locational criteria. 2. The Center will not cause undue traffic impacts on adjacent uses. 3. Adequate provisions have been made for parking and the drop-off and pick up of children. I l ( Considentions I . Cinemas require substantial parking in reasonably close proximity to the facility. However, peak usage of cinema parking often occurs when other downtown uses .are closed or in need of fewer parking spaces to satisfy customer and employee needs. 2. Substantial traffic can be generated by a cinema facility when hit movies arc shown or on peak weekend evenings. Patrons aniving for the next f eaturc showing arc seeking parking spaces prior to and while other patrons are leaving the facility. 3. The final film of an evening often lets out around midnight or later. Cinema exits and parking lots can become a source of noise which would be unwelcome near residential development. Location •~d Development Criteria I. Lots should provide or be located near parking areas with adequate spaces to meet the cinema's parking peak demand. 2. Sites adjacent to residential development would generally not be a~ceptable unless noise, traffic and other potential impacts can be adequately mitigated. 3. Locations which have or can accommodate supponive nighttime activities (e.g., restaurants, book stores, etc.) arc preferable to isolated sites where movie-goers are less likely to patroniz.c other downtown businesses. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I . Adequate and available parking resources exist on-site • in nearby public resources or in nearby private parking lots for which a binding use agreement has been executed to meet the cinema needs. 2. Traffic generated by the facility will not unduly impact residents or other businesses in the Village. 3. The facility is not likely to create noise, security or other adverse impacts on adjacent residential development. 4. The facility's location is supportive of a lively Village environment and has a high potential for stimulating support for other Village uses. \ et Cinemas Definitions A commercial enterprise containing fixed seating and dedimtd to the showing of •otion pidllra on one c more scra,u. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS 2-"f2. Cultural Facilities Definition •A public or quasi-p11blic facility devoted to w,111e11m displays, interactive 4isploy, and education devoted to history or cultural heril•, or live thtatrical, music and/or dance JJU.fora,Qnca. PTROVISIONAL USE S J\NDARDS Considerations l. Live perfonnancc theatres are open to public use for only a very few hours each week and are devoid of apparent activity for the remainder of the time. If located in areas of intense retail activity, they can disrupt retail continuity. 2. If intensively programmed, live perfonnance theacrcs have the potential of creating incrraed patronage of nearby restaurants and other nighttime use facilities. 3. Live perfonnance theatres generally are designed as large windowless boxes to . accommodate the facility's functional requirements and could be out of scale with nearby commercial and residential developments. Facilities with "fly lofts' to store scenery vertically above the stage can have windowless building components over 60 feet in height. 4. Live performance facilities, like cinemas, require substantial amounts of parking nearby. However, unlike cinemas, there is usually only one performance in an afternoon or evening. Therefore, potential traffic congestion is generally only related to the period immediately following a performance. 5. Like cinema<., live performance theatres often close late in the evening and have the potential of creating undesirable noise impacts if sited near residential development. 6. Musewn's often require substantial floor area to accommodate exhibits and artifacts. While "storefronts" can contribute to the liveliness of the street environment with visible display items and museum sales shops, the overall facility might occupy space more appropriately devoted to retail activities. Location· and Development Criteria I. Cultural Facilities should be located near parking resources adequate to meet public attendance and employee needs. 2. Locations and frontages should be sensitive to any adjacent retail needs in regard to use compatibility and critical mass of rcuul uses. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit. it should be consistent with the following findi11gs: I. Adequate parking resources exist on-site or in nearby public resources to accommodate the cultural facility's needs. 2. Traffic generated by the facility will not unduly impact residents or other businesses in the Village. 3. The facility is not likely to create noise, security or other adverse impacts on adjacent residential development. 4. The facility's· contribution to Village vitality and community identity outweighs any potential negative impacts on retail intensity and continuity. 2-43 l I . 0 Considerations I. Although fast food restaurants in some urban locations arc pedestrian-oriented, most arc auto-oriented, require substantial amounts of parking and generate considerable traffic by virtue of their rapid tum-over and take-out food policies. These characteristics can be detrimental to retail continuity and pedestrian safety. 2. Food for take out service is generally package.d in throw away containers. These along with straws, napkins and wrappers can create special trash problems at and for some distance from fast food restaurants. 3. Most fast food chains desire to utilize their recognii.able corporate building and signage styles. While some have made special efforts in modifying their designs to fit special community circumstances, there may be . problems in integrating the facility into the desired Village design character. 4. Fast food restaurants often extensively utilize paper or painted window signs as part of their promotional effort. These can detract from the quality of the Village visual environment. l • Location and Development Criteria I. Fast Food Restaurants with on-site parking should not be located in areas where retail or visual continuity ate important nor in areas where vehicular traffic related to their use will disrupt significant pedestrian movement patterns. 2. The site should be large enough to accommodate on-site parking away from street frontages. 3. The developer/f'ranchisee should be willing to design specifically and uniquely for the Carlsbad Village visual environment as well as agree to restrictions on temporary advertising signs. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I . The use is not likely to create pedestrian and traffic haz.ards. 2. .The use is consistent with and supportive of adjacent commercial uses. 3. Parking locations and visual treatments are consistent with Village goals. • 4. The design of the facility and signage is compatible with the desired Village character. • Fast Food Restaurants (Large) Definition A retail eating or eating and drinking use designed to attract and accommodate high customer w,/11111es or turnoven and which provides ready-to-eat food for cons11111ption on or off the premises and ,nttts the following criteria: • A gross floor area of 1000 square feet or more. -r rnorc. +~ SO :11:..+3 • A limited menu of ready-to-a,t food prepared in advance of customer orden, or food whidl may be quickly prepared. 1 • Food served in disposable wrappers· or containers. • Food is ordered at a customer service counter. • Food is paid for prior to consumption. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS 2-4'f Financial Institutions (F ul/) Definition Financial IMS providing banking services and productJ to the puhlic and which occupy more than 25 feet of linmr frontage or 1000 square feet of gros1 floor area induding banks, saving, and loans, and credit union1. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Considerations 1. Large financial institutions can utilize large street frontages which can interrupt retail continuity. 2. Financial institutions often seek locations in downtown areas in order to compete with others with regard to identity and name recognition. This tendency along with their ability to pay relatively high rents frequently resulted in substantial concentrations of these uses with the resultant loss of space for other retail and service uses. 3. Aggressive promotional campaigns for financial products and services often leads to the extensive use of temporary signs placed in window areas facing the street. This can lead to an appearance of visual chaos. 4. Most financial institutions also provide on-site Automatic Teller machines for quick transactions. This can increase traffic congestion and lead to parking problems as outlined in the provisional use standards outlined for ATM's. 5. Some financial institutions wish to incorporate drive-in banking facilities. These take up large areas of land, contribute to air quality problems by virtue of idling engines and can result in traffic circulation problems. Location and Development Criteria • I . Sites should not contain on-site parking unless such parlcing can be accessed from streets or alleys without conflict with pedestrians along primary pedestrian paths. 2. Drive-in banking windows should not be allowed. 3. Street frontages should be appropriate to the location n:lative to n:tail continuity ;md should generally not exceed SO feet. • Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, ii should be consistent with the following findings: I . The scale and character of the development are in keeping with adjacent Village development. 2. The use will not adversely affect retail continuity or pedestrian movements. 3. The use will not unduly affect the orderly flow of vehicuJar traffic in the area. 2-45 l I Considerations l. The development of additional Institutional Uses within the Village Redevelopment Area will generally be discouraged because these type of projects most often consume large street frontages which interrupt retail continuity. 2. Institutional Uses generally do not assist in the effon to economically enhance an area or serve to meet the revitalization goals the Village Redevelopment Area. 3. Since existing Institutional Uses within the Village have been "good neighbors" for a number of years and have developed strong relationships within the community which give additional identity to the Village Redevelopment Area, existing Institutional Uses will be ailowed to remain with legislative approval of a long term Master Plan for all related propeny. 4. Permission may be granted by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency to allow the expansion or intensification of an existing institutional use only if the expansion or intensification provides public benefits, such as street improvements, and it is determined that the project will have no adverse impacts on the surrounding propenies. Location and Devclopmcot/Redevelopmmt Criteria: Although new institutional uses will be discouraged within the Village Redevelopment Area, it is possible that a new institutional use may be proposed for the Village. In this case, the following location and development criteria shall apply: Institutional Use frontages should be limited in m:as of intense retail activity unless substantial ponions of the frontages are utili:zed for retail uses which are easily accessible from the sidewalk. I I I 1 1 l 2. Institutional Uses, except for schools, should be located away from residential areas where noise and/or traffic could be a problems. 3. Access to loading or parking facilities should be located away from primary pedestrian areas wherever possible to prevent conflicts and assist with traffic circulation. For existing Institutional Uses, the location is already fixed. However,_ if redevelopment of a site is proposed, the above criteria shall remain applicable. FINDINGS: For a new institutional use to receive a Redevelop- ment Permit, the following findings must be made: I . The scale and character of the Institutional Use is appropriate to its location and the desired Village character. 2. 3. 4. The use is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village. Street frontage uses are appropriate to the site and location and adjacent uses. Loading facilities and access to parking will not lt(lversely effect pedestrian movement and safety. In addition to the above findings, the following findings must also be made for all existing institutional uses: S. A Master Plan has been submitted and approved by the appropriate legislative body. 6. Expansion or intensification of the use will not have an adverse impact on future development within the area or on revitalization activities. I 1 l I r INSTITUTIONAL USES Definitions: Institutional Uses are those which are generally characteriud as being established by a non-profit organization or coi:poration of a public character with a public purpose being served (ie., education. religious services, elderly care, etc~>- Privatc Secondaty School is an educational facility which is established, conducted and primarily supported by a nongovernmental agency and offen general. technical, vocational or college-preparator courses at a level and to an age group which is intermediate between elementary school and college. Professional Care Facility is a facility in which· food, shelter and some form of professional servict is provided such as nursing, medical, dietary. exercising or other medically recommended programs. Not included in this deftnition are hospitals and mental hospitals. <lwn:h is generally considered to be a worship facility for a body or organization of religious believers. Considerations I. Hotels arc generally acceptable in all of the designated land use districts. However, issues of scale and potential conflicts must be addressed in each individual circwnstance. 2. Hotel street frontages can negatively impact retail continuity unless uses are placed along those frontages which complement the adjacent retail uses. 3. Visitor loading areas can disrupt traffic flows and remove on-street parking resources for retail uses. 4. Functional areas of hotels (e.g., kitchen and trash areas) can be sources of noise which could affect any adjacent residential uses. Location and De,·elopment Criteria 1. Hotel frontage dimensions should be limited in areas of intense retail activity unless substantial portions of the f rontagcs are utilized for retail uses which arc easily accessible from the sidewalk. 2. Hotel service areas should be located away from any adjacent residential uses where noise could be a problem.· 3. Access to any loading or parking facilities should be located away from primary pedestrian areas wherever possible. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I . The scale and character of the hotel is appropriate to its location and the desired Village character. 2. Street frontage uses are appropriate to the site location and adjacent uses. 3 . Loading facilities and access to parking will not adversely affect pedestrian movement and safety.

PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Considerations I. Laundromats provide important services for Village and nearby residents without their own on-premises equipment and for travellers staying in the area at facilities which do not ·have laundry facilities. 2. Recent development prototypes in many urban areas have included coffee houses, cocktail lounges or other entertainment uses along with the laundromat · functions. These mixes· of use must be evaluated with respect to their relative sil.C and ability to attract patronage separately from on-site laundromat users. 3. Typical laW1dromat frontages are often lacking in visual _interest and exhibit high levels of fluorescent lighting which could be at odds with adjacent uses. 4. Convenient parking is generally needed. Location and Development Criteria l . Laundromats should not be placed in areas where there is a high degree of retail continuity. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I. The use or combination of uses is compatible with adjacent uses and will not unduly intenupt important areas of retail continuity. 2. The scale and character of the facility is compatible with a Village character. 1 • 1 . Considentions I. The issues of Live/Work Studios deal both with the impact of business uses on adjacent residential uses as well as the impact of adjacent non-residential uses on the livability of the -residential units in cases where the studios are located in commercial or industrial areas. 2. Some on-site business activities such as the creation of metal or wood sculpture could introduce a noise clement into the residential neighborhood. 3. On-premise display and/or sales activities could generate traffic and parking concerns in residential areas. 4. In commercial areas, the residential units could be substandard in tcnns of access, light, air and open space unless specifically designed to address those issues. S. In industrial areas, residents could be subjected to adjacent noise or other environmental impacts. Location and Development Criteria I . On-site display and sales functions should be limited to sites where vehicular access and . parking will not negatively impact other residential units. 2. Live/Work Studios in residential environments should be limited to activities which will not adversely impact adjacent aidcnts. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redeve/opm,nt Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I. The Live/Work Studio use is compatible with adjacent development. 2. Adequate parking is available for tenants and anticipated visitors. • 3. Dwelling units will enjoy a residential environment of comparable quality to other standard units in the Village. .

Medical therapy offices, if located in growld floor storefront space, could interrupt retail continuity given their generally inward-oriented character. Location and ·oevelopment Criteria 1. These uses should be limited to locations on levels above the ground floor or in off-street locations where they will not adversely impact retail continuity. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I. On-premise activities and related parking requirements are compatible with the land use district and adjacent development. 2. Adverse impacts on retail intensity or retail continuity are not likely. Considentions 1. This type of medical use has the .potential of generating higher parking demands than other commercial uses which could impact the visual quality of the Village for on-site parking and the availability of parking for retail uses within the parking district. 2. Medical offices are generally inward-oriented in character and could negatively impact retail continuity if placed in areas with a high retail potential. Location and De1elopment Criteria I. Medical Treatment Offices should be placed on levels above the groWld floor or in off- street locations in areas of retail activity. 2. Sites should be large enough to accommodate on-site parking. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redel'e/opment. Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I . The use is compatible with the land use district a,nd adjacent development. 2. The use will not adversely affect retail intensity or retail continuity in the Village. 3.

PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Considerations 1. Motels are traveller-oriented, therefore should be conveniently located on travel corridors and near other visitor-serving facilities. 2. Motels by their nature have a very strong automobile-to-room relationship which could limit building activity which may be oriented towards Village streets. 3. Because many motels survive on drop-in business, their signagc is often aggressive in size and appearance. Location and Development Criteria I . Parking areas should be located away from street frontages and buffered from public view. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: 1. The use is appropriate to the land use district and adjacent development. 2. The site is adequate in size to provide the necessary parking as well as adequate space for landscaping to integrate the project into the Village character. 3. The project enhances the Carlsbad Village image and _character. Considerations 1. Multi-family housing is appropriate near the Land Use District I rail station but could displace important ground floor retail uses in some locations. 2. Multi-family residential uses generally require on-site dedicated parking which could be difficult to provide in retail-oriented districts unless located below grade. 3. In Land use District 6, large parcels lend themselves to multi-family residential development. However, the impact of adjacent industrial uses on the qua1ity of the residential environment may be of concern. Location and Development Criteria 1. Residential units and parking should not be placed on ground floor levels where they would displace desired retail uses or other- wise lessen active street frontage. 2. Sites should be large enough to accommodate parking requirements on-site or below grade. 3. Residential units should not be placed in 4. close proximity to uses which would adversely affect the health and welfare of the residents. For locations adjacent to the A.T.&S.F. Railroad Right-of-Way, adequate provisions should be made to buffer residents from train noise. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, ii should be consistent with the following findings: 1. The Multi-family Residential use is appropriate to the site and adjacent development. 2. The site is of adequate size and shape to accommodate its required on-site parking without adversely affecting the visual environment of the Village. Multi-Family Dwellings Definition A building, or portion dtereof, designed for occupancy by three or more families lil'ing inde~n4ently of each other and containing three or more dWt:1/ing units. 5.

Night Clubs Dt!Jinition A plact! of t!ntl!rtainmm4 mosdy opm at nigh4 suving food and liquor or otha refreshmmts, and ha,ing II floor show or providing musk 11114 11 spau for dancing. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS l . Considerations l. Nightclubs, as nighttime activities, have the potential of creating noise problems for nearby residential areas. 2. Nightclubs, because of their floor show and/or dance floor requirements, often require large blocks of floor area which could displace other desired uses. 3. Nightclubs are generally inactive during normal business hoW'S and can create a gap in interesting activity if located along retail frontages. 4. The intensity of use of nightclubs is generally very high since many patrons may be standing or dancing rather than seated at tables. This intensity can create the need for substantial nearby parking. 5. Sidewalk crowds waiting to enter the nightclub and during intermissions or music breaks are not uncommon and can be a hindrance to normal pedestrian movement if located near other nighttime uses such as restaurants. Locatio~ and Development Criteria I. Nightclubs or parking serving nightclub uses should not generally be located adjacent to residential development. 2. Nightclubs should contain adequate on-site parking or be located near public parking resources with sufficient capacity to serve their parking requirements. 3. The location should be such that conflicts with other nighttime uses are minimiz.ed or design steps should be taken to accomplish that goal. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I. The site is suitable for a nightclub use and will have a minimal impact upon Village traffic, parking, residents and other adjacent uses. 6. The total number of night clubs within the Village at any given time shall be limited. An overconcentration of night clubs could be detrimental to the Village. Special consideration shall be given to the potential for proliferation of night clubs by assessing the number and type within the Village at any given time and the impact an additional club might have on the environment or atmosphere within the Village. 2-53 Considerations 1. Pool Halls and Billiard Parlors have become a popular fonn of both participatory and spectator activity in recent years and cater to a wide range of social, economic and age groups. The issues related to this use are . primarily related to those of displacement of desired retail activity in important shopping areas and the disruption of retail continuity. Location and Development Criteria I. Pool Halls/Billiard Parlors should not be located along prime retail frontages. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: • I. The Pool Hall/Billiard Parlor use is appropriate to the site and is not likely to adversely affect the Village's retail potential. Pool Halls/ Billiard Parlors Definition Any place of business where billiards or pool is played, and 11 /tt is charged to those playillg for the use of the equipmarL 11,e billiard room shall not be connected with any other . business, nor shall any other business be permitted to bt carried on, exupt that the billiard room may have tl,erein ordinary merchandise ~ndini machines and no more than four coin-operated games of skill, including pinball machines. A bar or cocktail lounge, having IK'O or leu pool or billiard tables, shall not be considered to bt a pool hall or billiard parlor. Professional Care Facilities Dtjinition A facility in which food, shelter, and some form of professional servict is provided such as nuning, medical, dittary, exercising or olhtr mtdically recommtndtd progn,,ns. Not indudtd in this dtfinition art hospital, ond mtntal hospitals. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Consideratiqns 1. The Village should not generally be thought of as a location for new facilities of this type given the Village's emphasis upon retail shopping, small scale offices, visitor services and residential development in close proximity to the commuter rail station. Location and Development Criteria 1. The use should only be considered in Land Use District 1 on the site currently occupied by a similar use (Carlsbad Boulevard and Grand Avenue). Should significant changes to that property or use occur in the future, strong encouragement should be given for conversion of the site to commercial and visitor-serving uses. 2. No new development of this type should be allowed in Land Use District 9 aside from the redevelopment or rebuilding of similar uses currently occupying sites within the district. 3. Historic portions of existing buildings should be retained and enhanced. 4. New development on existing sites should reinforce the visual interest of adjacent streets and contain substantial landscaping. Findings In order for this use lo receive a Redevelopment Permit. ii should be consis1en1 with lhe following findings: I. The use is a rebuilding or redevelopment of existing or similar uses. 2. . The development is consistent with the goals of the Village Design Manual with regard to pedestrian movement and visual character. 2-':f5 Considentions I. Quick stop food stops are likely to be automobile•orientcd with rapid parking space turnover and with little spill-0ver commercial benefit to other Village uses. 2. These uses are often chain franchise operations with a standard appearance that would not comfortably fit into the desired Village visual character without significant architectural and signage modifications. Location and Development Criteria 1. Parking Jots should not dominate the site development. 2. Parking lots should be buffered from public view by screening and substantial landscaping. 3. The character of structures and signagc must be compatible with a Village character. Findings In order for rl,i.,; use to receive a Redevelopment Permit. it should be c:onsistent with the following findings: I. The use is appropriate to the Village and the site. 2. The project has been designed to be compatible with the Village environment. Quick Stop Food Store! Definition A retail facility stlli11g take-out Joo liquor or other co11vmience goods and containing fewer than 20 sats where the majority of sales 11tt removed and co111U1Ned outside the prtmises. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Managed Living Units Definition Managed Living Units within the Village shall be defined in the same manner as those allowed, if allowed, within the remainder of the City. The definition shall be established by ordinance approved by the City Council. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS All Managed Living Units produced within the Village shall comply with the standards and conditions set forth within applicable regulations set forth within the Carlsbad Municipal Code. If a Managed Living Unit Ordinance is not adopted for the remainder of the City, these type of units will also not be permitted within the Village Redevelopment Area. Development of all Managed Living Units shall be consistent with the Carlsbad Municipal Code. I . Considentions 1. The activity often results in many customers leaving the facility late at night with the potential for noise impacts on nearby residences from patrons and vehicles. 2. Restaurants with entertainment often have a use intensity with a significant number of patrons in the premises at one time. Parking conveniently located to the facility is important. Location and Development Criteria I . Restaurants with Entertainment should not be located where they are likely to adversely impact residential uses. 2. An adequate supply of parking should be located conveniently nearby. 3. Consideration must be given to ensure that there will not be an overconcentration of restaurants with entenainment at any given time prior to approving a new restaurant with entertainment. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I . The Restaurant with Entertainment is not likely to have a negative impact on Village residents. 2. Adequate parking is conveniently located near the premises. Restaurants with Entertainment Definition A restaurant whose bar area t!Uttds SO seats 1111d which prtmllo li,e music, recorded music for i1111dag, comedy or other entertainment on a regular basis. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS '2.-58 SELF-IMPROVEMENT SERVICES Definition A commercial facllity offering group instruction or training and containing large open exercise, work or instructionQ/ space with an Occupant Load Factor of SO square feet or less as def111ed in the Uniform Building Code.. 1ht def111ition indudes heQ/th clubs, martial arts mulios, business and profmionQ/ schools 11nd aerobic studios but does not include child care centm, private schools or similar private facilities. Considerations 1. These facilities often seek storefront locations among retail facilities and can, because of their inward-oriented nature, create gaps in visual storefront interest and retail continuity. 2. The uses arc generally group-oriented and require sufficient parking to serve those on-site at the same time. Location and Development Criteria I. Self-Improvement Service uses should not be located in storefront locations where retail continuity is important. Findings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit. it should be consistent with the fol/oM•ing findings: . l. Retail continuity will not be adversely affected by this use. 2. Adequate parking is available nearby. • Considentions l. Since all or a portion of Sidewalk Cafes occupy public property, tables, chairs and waste receptacles can interfere. with nonnal pedestrian movements. 2. Tables, chairs, waste receptacles and other items, if located near street curbs, can interfere with car doors and pedestrian access to parking spaces. 3. Too many tables and chairs can block access to the business's entty. 4. Since tables, chairs, u.'1\brellas, waste receptacles, planters and other items are prominently located within the public right of way, they can have a substantial impact on the immediate visual environment. Location and Development Criteria I. Sidewalk tables should be limited to eating and drinking establishments. 2. Tables and chairs should not unduly disrupt pedestrian and vehicular movement. 3. Tables should be placed a minimum of two feet from the curb to allow adequate space for the opening of vehicle doors. 4. A clear area of at least five feet in width should be maintained for pedestrian use over the entire length of the sidewalk in front of the business. 5. Tables are encouraged to be placed in line with tree wells, street lights and other street furnishings elements in order to maximize a \ ;near-- unobstructed area. 6. Where tables are placed next to the building facade, a clear area of at least five feet in width should be maintained to building entries. 7. Tables should not block access to fire emergency facilities (e.g., fire hydrants). 8. Tables, chairs and umbrellas should be restricted to the frontage of the business, and should not encroach on the frontage of any adjacent business. 9. All sidewalk obstruction including trash receptacles should be removed completely from the sidewalk area daily prior to the close of business. 10. Furniture should be of a uniform color and design and of substantial construction to withstand outdoor use. Umbrellas should be made of a wood or metal framework and should be covered with fabric. No vinyl umbrellas shall be permitted. The Housing and Redevelopment Director shall develop guidelines for examples . of acceP,table sidewalk cafe furniture. 11. Trash receptacles should be provided and the area kept free of litter. l I Sidewalk Cafes Definition An outdoor extension of a restaurant, delicatessen, ice cream parlor or similar food service use with the majority of its sealing capacity located indoors and where exterior seating occurs partially or wholly on public property. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Sidewalk Ca/es ' A sidewalk table permit must be approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Director prior to the use of sidewalk tables. A fee to be set by the City Council shall be required for processing 1he subject pennit. This fee must be paid before the permit will be processed. \. The approved sidewalk table permit shall remain in effect for as long as sidewalk tables are pennitted within the Village Area and the permittee remains in compliance with the subject approved pennit. No new permit shall be required unless the applicant ceases to use the sidewalk tables for a period of 6 months or longer; in this case, a new permit with appropriate fee would be required. The approved permit which remains in effect may be amended without additional fees as approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Director. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS 14. All other necessary City and/or Agency permits must be also be obtained prior to the use of sidewalk tables. These permits may include a business license and/or a redevelop- ment permit if required for the primary eating/drinking establish- ment. lS. The State Departm~nt of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) shall regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages within the Village. The applicant must obtain the appropriate permits and/or approvals from ABC prior to selling or serving alcoholic beverages to customers using the sidewalk tables. 16. The ~ousing and Redevelopment Director may approve temporary or permanent enclosures for the sidewalk cafe area as pan of the sidewalk table pennit if the Director finds that the enclosure will not impede pedestrian traffic and is desired for other safety or aesthetic reasons. 17. Applicant/Pennittee must sign an Indemnification Statement holding the City of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency harmless from any legal action resulting from sidewalk cafe operations and/or any approved enclosures for the sidewalk cafe. 18. The applicant must submit a Certificate of Insurance to the City of Carlsbad in an amount to be • established by the Risk Manager of the City of Carlsbad. The City and the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency shall be listed as an "additional insured" on the Certificate. The Certificate must remain in effect for as long as the tables and chairs are placed within the public right-of-way (on the sidewalk). 19. In accordance with Chapters 21.35 and 21.58 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the sidewalk cafe permit may be revoked by the Housing and Redevelopment Director following due process procedures, if 1) the conditions of the approved permit are not being met; 2) conditions at or around the sidewalk cafe change; and/or 3) if operation of the sidewalk cafe interferes with adequate or safe • public use of the sidewalk. FINDINGS In order for the sidewalk table use to receive a permit, it shall be consistent with the following findings: 1. The Applicant has complied with all of the criteria established relative to Sidewalk Cafes. 2. The use is not likely to result in health or safety problems nor is it likely to adversely impact adjacent uses. I , Considerations 2. L Uses conducted partially or wholly on public property can interfere with safe pedestrian movement and in some cases compete directly and wtfairly with existing retail and food 3. service uses by virtue of lower tenant costs. 2. Uses conducted on private property adjacent to public thoroughfares may be acceptable but should be consistent with Village retail and market image goals. 4. 3. Street musicians can add a pleasant ambiance and interest to the Village. However, a high potential exists for annoyance and conflict in cases where the quality is inadequate or 5. presentations are repetitious. 4. Street artists and crafts people also can add creative and valuable interest to the Village if 6. • the products sold are unique, hand-made and not otherwise available in adjacent shops. The sale of manufactured or mass produced items, 7. however, often detracts from the image of the Village shopping environment. Location and Development Criteria I. Kiosks and carts shall be limited to specific 8. locations as determined by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. Flowers, food or merchandise sold from the kiosks or carts should not be directly competitive with any other business within S00 feet of the specified location. Merchandise must be limited to art and craft items produced _personally by the vendor. All such items shall be verified and approved by the Director of Housing and Redevelopment or an appointed representative. Carts must be removed daily and the operator shall maintain regular business hours as may be specified by the Director of Housing and Redevelopment. The kiosks or cart must be professionally constructed and its design shall be approved by the Design Review Board. Applicant must pay all applicable fees and obtain any otJ1er necessary permits required for the specific use from the City of Carlsbad. Applicant must sign an Indemnificatioo Statement holding the City of Carlsbad harmless from legal action resulting from operation or transportation of the kiosk or cart. The Redevelopment Permit will be valid for a 12-month period. Applicants may reapply for reissuance but will not be guaranteed a renewal. Sidewalk Vendors Definition - A retail use operating out of 11 permanent or moveable structure partially or wholly located on public property or on private property adjacent to a public vehicular or pedestrian way. The def111ition includes street artists, street musicians, food vendon and flower vendors. PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS 2-C.2 Sidewalk Vendors PROVISIONtL USE STANDARD l . Findings In order for thi.,; use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, ii should be consistent with the following findings: I. The applicant has compiled with all of the criteria established relative to Sidewalk Vendors. 2. The use is not likely to result in health or safety problems nor is it likely to adversely impact adjacent uses. Considentions I. These uses generally require relatively large sites to accommodate facilities ·and parking. 2. The uses generally offer relative little visual interest or street facades. 3. Some facilities have peak usage of an even!ng hour which could impact adjacent residential uses. Location and Development Uses I . Uses should not occupy State Street frontage in Land Use District 4. 2. . Sites should be large enough for on-site parking which can be adequately screened and landscaped. Jtindings In order for this use to receive a Redevelopment Permit, it should be consistent with the following findings: I. The Sports Entertainment use is compatible with adjacent development, consistent with a Village character and provides sufficient land on which to accommodate building, parking and landscaping. $ports Entertainment Uses Definition A tOlllmerdal facility dlt1rtlderiud by p11tron JNM1kiplllion in sporti11g activitia Md rdflliNly ltl,re buHding vol11111e 11111/or 1it& Tiu! de/111ilion indudn bowling alleys, itdroller rinks, JWi111 d11bs 11114 tennis d11bs but doa not ind•e any ue rd111H to pbling or ,-a of dlac& PROVISIONAL USE STANDARDS Uses not consistent with the allowable or provisional uses of a district or which do not follow the long range goals of the Village Redevelopment Area are considered to be non-coofmning ~ for land use review purposes under this Manual. Non- confonning land uses in the Village Redevelopment Arca can preclude revitalization or redevelopment activities in two primary ways. First, they occupy a site that could be used for redevelopment according to the goals of the underlying district and the Village area as a whole. Second, some non-confonning wes can actually have adverse impacts that reach beyond the confines of the site and actually preclude the redevelopment of neighboring properties. Non-conforming uses in the Village Redevelopment Zone are specifically defined as those within a specific land use district which are: 1) not permitted by right; 2) have not been provisionally approved by the City or the Redevelopment Agency; or, 3) prohibited. Although the City and the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency will take no action to initiate immediate, or time-specific, abatement of non-conforming uses within the Village Redevelopment Area, propeny owners are encouraged to bring their propenies into conformance with the regulations of this Manual as soon as possible to ~ist with the revitalization and redevelopment of the Area. All existing non- conforming uses within the Village Redevelopment Area will be allowed to remain until l) they simply cease to exist for economic or other reasons; 2) the property is abandoned for a period of 6 months or longer (which means that a building has not been used); or 3) their is a proposed change in use. If any of these conditions exist, the property owner will be required to hring the property into compliance with current land use policies and building codes/regulations. Expansion or intensification of non-conforming uses will !!Q! be allowed by the Agency. However, property owners and/or building tenants will be permitted to complete building facade improvements, add perimeter fencing as appropriate and provide additional landscaping for beautification purposes. Any proposed structural alteration, incidental reconstruction, repair, site alteration, or other propeny improvements shall conform to the current development standards and design guidelines permitted by the Village Design Manual section of this docwnent. Often difficult situations are created when a property owner wishes to return to the "original u,;e" (from a non-conforming or conforming use) of a building which may have been approved prior to formation of the Village Redevelopment Area (1981) but may have become non-conforming per the approved Land Use Plan for the Village Redevelopment Area. In the past, the public policy has not been clear regarding the property owner's right to return to an "original use". The following is provided in an attempt to clarify the Agency's position and outline the policy which results from adoption of this Manual. Uses within existing buildings located in the Village Redevelopment Area as of Novcmhcr I, 1991, pcr the ~jlrlsh:ul Vill:igr R(·dcvclopnwnt Agency's 1~111d lls(' Survey, will be considered to be tl1C "original lL';e" of a building llx the purposes of l 1 1 i 1 1 i \ l mis secaon. No land use wblch may bave existed prior to November 1, 1991 will be considered as the "original use" of the property for purposes of determining confonnance with the Land Use Plan implemented by this Manual. If a property ow11t does not agree with the "original use" identified by the Survey, the p:operty owner shall bear the "burden of proof" r~ponsibility for providing documentation to the Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Director that proves an alternate land use, as identified by the property owner, existed as of November l, 1991. If the "original use", conforms to the Land Use Plan identified within this Manual, the: use may continue without any further requirement to obtain a redevelopment permit regardless of whether or not it meets all current development standards set forth for th Area by this Manual. Expansion or intensification of the "original use", however, may still generate a need for redevelopment and/or coastal development permits. Tbe property owner may also be required to obtain appropriate building permit(s) for improvements to the property which are necessary or required to ensure conformance'. to applicable building codes for the type of use existing within any given building a-; of November I, 1991. If the "original use" does.!!!?! conform to the Land Use Plan identified within this Manual, the use may cootinue until one or more of the previously identified cooditions exist, then the propeny must be brought into conformance with existing regulations. A change to another non-conforming use will not be permitted. If a propeny owner changed from an "original use" to another use (conforming or non-conforming) after November 1, 1991 but did not obtain appropriate redevelopment permits, the property owner will be required to comply with existing regulations and obtain the appropriate redevelopment and/or building permits. If the Design Review Board determines that the property owner is unable to meet the existing regulations and has exhau,;ted alJ avenues to legalize the non-conforming use and obtain the appropriate redevelopment and/or building permits to convert an "original use" to a new, conforming use, per the Land Use Plan within this Manual, the property owner will be allowed , with approval of the Design Review Board via issuance of a minor redevelopment permit, to return the use of the property to the •original use" regardless of whether or not the .,original use" itself conforms to the Land Use Plan~ this is the only situation whereby a property owner will be able to convert to a non-conforming use. No expansion or intensification of the "original use", however, will be permitted for a non-conforming use. With approval of the subject minor redevelopment permit, the Design Review Board will identifity an amortization period for the non-conforming use. This means that at the end of the amortization period set forth by the Design Review Board, the "original use" (non-confonning) must be brought into conformance with the existing land use plan and development standards applicable to the area . Special Opportunities \s a part of the planning studies leading to the ✓illagc Master Plan and Design Manual, a number >f specific sites were studied to provide the basis or establishing appropriate development intensities, Jacking requirements and design guidelines to 1chieve a Village scale and character. Figure 4 provides a map which identifies the location of the sites studied. as special opportunity areas. Each site identified in Figure 4 represents a special development opportunity which is consistent with the Village's market potential. However, there is no intention to require the development of these specific sites in the manner shown. Rather, the material contained in the following pages should be considered by property owners and potential developers as reflective of the type and scale of development desired in the Village. On the following pages, a description of the special opportunity project identified for the site shown in Figure 4 is provided for review and consideration. The conceptual project design provides an example of the type of design which has been detennined to be desirable for the Village.

The boundaries of the Village Redevelopment Area are shown on Figure 5 (page 3-2). Land uses and development standards are hereby established by this Village Design Manual upon approval of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. • For development standards and other regulations which are not specifically identified within this Village Master Plan and Design Manual, the appropriate reference document shall be the current Carlsbad Municipal Code. Village Area Redevelopment Plan All development within the Village Redevelopment Area is regulated by the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan. This Ma&ter Plan and Design Manual implements the fundamental Land Use Plan set forth in that Plan. Uniform Building Code 1ne Uniform Building Code shall be the appropriate reference document for identifying the appropriate building standards for all buildings to be constructed, renovated or rehabilitated within the Village Redevelopment Arca. Applicants should consult with the City's Building Depanment to identify the sections of the building codes which shall be applicable to any project within the Village Redevelopment Area. See Title 18 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code for Building Codes and Regulations. Local Coastal Program Non-exempt Development on properties located within the Coastal Zone requires a Coastal Development Permit issued by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency/City of Carlsbad (depending on whether the project is located within the Coastal Zone but not in the Redevelopment Area, or within both the Redevelopment Area and the Coastal Zone). The boundaries of the Coastal Zone within the Village Redevelopment Area are shown on· Figure 5 (page 3-2). 'The Village Master Plan and Design Manual, the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan, together with their implementing ordinances and the Manual of Policies and Procedures constitute the Local Coastal Program for the Village Redevelopment Area. 'These documents shall establish the standards for all development within the Village Area of the Coastal Zone. 11 Policies and Procedures Manual From time to time, the Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Commission may also establish policies and procedures which must be adhered to for development and/or other activities within the Village Redevelopment Area. These policies and procedures shall be adopted by the Com~ion and included within a "Housing and Redevelopment Commission Policies and Procedures Manual." When these policies and procedures impact any development and/or activities located on properties within the Coastal Zone, the policies and procedures must be approved by the Coastal Commission or its executive director prior to becoming effective within the Coastal Zone. Development Standards This Development Standards section is divided into two (2) parts. The first pa.rt outlines "Universal Standards" which are applicable to all projects within the Village Redevelopment Area, regardless of district location. 'The second pa.rt outlines the "Individual Standards" for each Land Use District; these standards will differ from district to district and will be applied according to the location of the proposed development and/or activity. Variances Variances to development standards set forth within this Village Master Plan and Design Manual document shall be processed according to regulations established within Section 21.35.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Non-Confom1ing Uses The provisions set forth for non-confom1ing uses within this Village Master Plan and Design Manual document shall supersede regulations set forth within the Carlsbad Municipal Code. See Chapter 2 (page 2-65) of this document for information related to regulations for non-confom1ing uses in the Village Redevelopment Area. Chapter 2 provides regulations regarding 1) the continued operation of a non-conforming use; and 2) the conditions upon which a property owner can return to an "original use" of the propeny, even if it determined to be non-conforming under the Land Use Plan set forth within·this Manual. Code Enforcement For the purposes of code enforcement as related to the regulations set forth by this Village Master Plan and Design Manual, Tide 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code shall serve as the applicable regulations in terms of procedures and due process. 3-/ l I C: ..

Village Redevelopment Area Boundaries and Coastal Zone Boundaries Figure S. Village Redevelopment Area Boundaries, Land Use District Boundaries and Coastal Zone Boundaries (shaded area). u UNIVERSAL STANDARDS These standards are applicable to all development in the Village. GENERAL PLAN: All redevelopment projects must be consistent with all General Plan policies, goals, and action programs. RESIDENTIAL DENSITY: The applicable General Plan residential density designation shall be determined for each project based upon compatibility findings with surrounding area. Maximum project density may not exceed the Growth Management Control Point for the applicable density designation unless a density increase or bonus is granted in accordance with Chapters 21.53 and 21.86 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The Village Redevelopment Area is exempt from Council Policy No. 43 which regulates and/or prioritizes the use of excess dwelling units throughout the City. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT: Residential units proposed for separate ownership shall comply with the development standards and design criteria set forth by Planned Development Ordinance, Chapter 21.45 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. INCLUSIONARY HOUSING REQUIREMENTS: All residential projects including the conversion of apartments to airspace condominiums are subject to the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, Chapter 21.85 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code,and those requirements imposed by Redevelopment Law. Per Redevelopment Law, 15% of the private housing units constructed must be affordable to low and moderate income persons, of which not less than .40% (or 6% of the total units) must be affordable to very low income households. Per City Ordinance, 15% of the total housing units constructed must be affordable to low income households. Projects consisting of 6 or fewer market rate units may pay an in-lieu fee rather than constructing a unit. I l l UNIVERSAL STANDARDS (Continued) PARKING New development and additions to existing buildings within the Village Redevelopment • Area will be required to provide parking per the standards contained within Chapter 5 of this Village Master Plan and Design Manual. Changes of use within an existing structure or building may require additional parking if the new use creates a parking demand greater than the structure or building's previous use or existing on-site parking spaces. The Parking In-Lieu Fee Program described in Chapter 6 may be available as an option for property owners/tenants who are unable to meet their on-site parking requirements. Requests for variances from the on-site parking requirements shall be processed as set forth in Chapter 6 of this document. BUILDING COVERAGE, BUILDING HEIGHT AND BUILDING SETBACKS The standards for building coverage, height and setbacks are established individually according to the applicable Land Use District within the Village Redevelopment Area. See the appropriate development standards section for the applicable Land Use District to identify the standards which apply to projects within the area .. Where a range is established for the subject standard, the individual project standard may be set anywhere within the range based on findings that the project design or site constraints justify the standard and subject to the findings/criteria outlined below for each type of standard noted. l BUILDING COVERAGE: In all cases where a range has been established as the appropriate building coverage standard within a given district, the bottom of the range shall be considered the desired standard. However, an increase in the standard to the maximum, or anywhere within the range, may be allowed if the project warrants such an increase and appropriate findings are made by the authorized approving body/official. The authorized approving body/official must find that: 1. The increased standard will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. 2. The increased standard will assist in developing a project which meets the goals of the Village Redevelopment Area and is consistent with the objectives for the land use district in which the project is to be located. 3. The reduced standard will assist in creating a project design which is interesting and visually appealing and reinforces the Village character of the area. For approval of a building coverage standard which is above the maximum for the subject land use district, a variance must be approved by the authorized approving body/official. Variances shall be granted according to the regulations set forth in Section 21.35.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. A variance for a building coverage standard which exceeds the top of the range, or the individual standard set forth, will be granted only if the project meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. The project is a mixed use project which provides for residential living units located in close proximity (reasonable walking distance) to the Village Commuter Rail Station. 2. The project is a hotel facility whose scale, design and auxiliary facilities are judged to be appropriate to the Village. 3. The project is a residential project providing a quality living environment and where increased density would not negatively impact adjacent residential development. 4. The project provides for exceptional public amenities in terms of site design or facilities. BUILDING HEIGHT: The height standard for a building, or buildings, within the Village Redevelopment Area, is noted as a maximum within the individual land use district development standards. The height of a proposed building may not exceed the standard set forth for the given land use district, but it may be set lower if deemed desirable for the project. As a note, additional building height • is permitted for all projects in all land use districts for architectural features which are designed as part of the project. For information on architectural features which are exempt from the height limit calculation, see Section 21.46.20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. 3-<-/ l l I I II UNIVERSAL STANDARDS (Continued) BUILDING HEIGHT (CONT.) To exceed the maximum height standard set forth within the development standards for a given land use district, a variance must be . granted by the appropriate approving body/official for the project. A variance for a height standard which exceeds the standard set forth for a given land use may be granted only if the project meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. The increased height will be visually compatible with surrounding buildings. 2. The increased height will not unduly impact nearby residential areas. 3. The taller project will not adversely impact views. 4. 5. The project will maintain a scale and character compatible with the Village and the guidelines contained within this Village Master Plan and Design Manual. The project provides for'exceptional design quality and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Redevelopment Area, SETBACKS: In all cases where a range has been established as the appropriate setback standard within a given district, the top of the j \ range shall be considered Jhe desired standard. However, a reduction in the standard to the minimum, or anywhere within the range, may be allowed if the project warrants such a reduction and appropriate findings are made by the authorized approving body/official. The authorized approving body/official must find that: 1. The reduced standard will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. 2. 3. The reduced standard will assist in developing a project which meets the goals of the Village Redevelopment Area and is consistent with the objectives for the land use district in which the project is to be located. The reduced standard will assist in creating a project design which is interesting and visually appealing and reinforces the Village character of the area. For approval of a setback standard which is above the maximum or below the minimum· for the subject land use district, a variance must be approved by the authorized approving body/official. Variances shall be granted according to the regulations set forth in Section 21.35.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. A variance for a setback standard which exceeds the top of the range, or the individual standard set forth, will be granted only if the project meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. The project is in a location where 2 . 3. adjacent buildings are set back further than the permitted standard (range), adjacent buildings are likely to remain, and setting the structure_ back to the desired standard will maintain and reinforce the Village character of the area. The project is in a location which is in a transition area to residential development and where increased setbacks would soften the visual transition between commercial and residential development or would protect the liveability of the residential development. Restaurant uses where a larger front setback will be utilized for outdoor dining space subject to approval by the Design Review Board and/or Housing and Redevelopment Commission, whichever is the appropriate approving body. II District 1 The boundaries for District I are shown on the map provided in Figure 6. This District has traditionally been the Central Business District of Carlsbad. Although shopping centers and other development outside of the Village have drawn some uses away from the area, the District I Village Center continues to function as a strong retailing and financial services core serving city residents as well as tourists and regional visitors. The intent of land use standards for this district is to reinforce the pedestrian shopping environ-ment, encourage mutually supportive uses and provide a major activity focus for Carlsbad Village and the City as a • whole. Retail shopping continuity, local serving commercial shops, stores and restaurants as well as facilities and services for travellers in the coastal zone are emphasiz.ed.

BEST 4 DESIGN GUIDELINES Basic Design Principles A Vi/loge scale and character will be empha.tized for all future d_evelopment and property impro,•e-· ments to reinforce Carl-,had Village's uniquene.f..f, enhance its image as a shopping and entertain• me11t de.ttination and impro,•e its livability u.,; a mixed use residential e.m·ironment. Ten basic design principles will be utilized in the · design review process for property imprcJ11ements and new construction in the Village. The Design Review Board must be satisfied that the applicant . has made an honest effort to conform to each of the.ft principles. I. DEVELOPMENT SHALL HA VE AN OVER· ALL INFORMAL CHARACTER. 2. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SHALL EMPHASIZE VARIETY AND DIVERSITY. 3. DEVEWPMENT SHALL BE SMALL IN SCALE. 4. INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE ENCOURAGED. 5 . ALL DEVELOPMENT SHALL HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP TO THE STREET. 6. A STRONG EMPHASIS SHALL BE PLACED ON THE DESIGN OF GROUf'ID FLOOR FACADES. 7. BUILDINGS SHALL BE ENRICHED WITH ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND DETAIU. 8. LANDSCAPING SHALL BE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. 9. . PARKING SHALL BE VISUALLY SUBORDI- NATED. 10. SIGNAGE SHALL BE APPROPRIATE TO A VILLAGE CHARACTER. ·4-1 1 Provide a Variety of Setbacks along any single commercial block front Varied setbacks wiil provide a desired informality and diversity of appeara11ce and will allow for special landscaping. The range of setbacks along a frontage need not be great and need not be applied along any single parcel frontage. 2 Pro,·ide benches and low walls along public pedestrian frontages. Places for people to rest briefly or wait for friends can both encourage longer shopping trip to the Village and express the feeli11g that Village merchants care about tl,e comfort and convenience nf their cu.ttomer.r. 3 Maintain Retail Continuity along Pedestrian- oriented frontages The pedestrian shopping experience should not be imerrupted by parking lots, blank walls or no11- contrihuting uses. l • I Site Planning 4 Avoid Drive-Through Service Uses Drive-through windows for banks. fast food restaurants and similar uses take up valuable Village land area and create potential pedestrian/vehicular conflicts. DESIGN GUIDELINES Site Pla11ni11g COMMERCIAL ➔!--<--RES-ID_ENI1AL __ MOCEDUSE I . I 5 Minimize Privacy Loss for Adja- cent Residential Uses Placement of windows a11d trash areas should be sensitive to any adjacent residential units, outdoor dining areas or pedestrian areas. DESIGN GUIDELINES ( 6 Encourage off-street courtyards accessible from major pedestrian walkways Courtyards can enrich the Village etll'iro11me111 providing more businesses (e.g., art galleries a11d restaurants) and personal services (e.g .. beauty u11d nail salom;) conveniently located 11ear the greatest inte11sity of pedestrian shopping activity. 7 Emphasize an abundance of landscaping planted to create an informal character . Like its architecture, the Village landscaping should be informal in character with a great deal of variety a11d diversity. Lt,ndscaping wilhill each parcel should he personalized to the :,pecifics of the building and site. Colorfuljlowers in plamer boxes and pots, in planting beds, on trellises and on flowering trees will add to the richness of the visual environment a11d to the unique living and marketing image sought fur the Village. All landscapi11g includingrequired irrigation systems must conform to the City's adopted Landc;cape Ma11ual. 8 Treat structures as individual buildings set within a landscaped green space. Exceplions: Buildings fronting on: • Carlsbad Village Dri,1e • Slate Street • Grand Avenue • Carlsbad Blvd. between Carlsbad Village D,fre and Grand A,•enue • Roosevelt Street (West Side) l PrHide landscaping within surf ace parking lots. Trees in additio11 to perimeter landscaping should be provided within parking lots at a ratio of one for every four parking stalls. Trees may be clustered in concentrated planting areas to break up large parking lot surfaces. 2 Provide access 10 parking areas from alleys wherever possible. Access from adjacent alleys will allow more of the .'tile to be devoted It> /a11Jscaping and will minimize conflicts betwee11 pedestrians and vehicles. 3 Locate parking at the rear of lots. Parking area.f behind buildings will have the least visual impact and likelihood of affecting retail continuity. Parki11g and Access 4 Devote all parking lot areas not specifically required for parking spaces or circulation to landscap- ing. Paving within parking areas should be minimized and landscaped areas maximized to provide the visual and environmental quality needed to support the desired Village character. DESIGN GUIDELINES 4-'-I Parking and Access 5 Avoid parking in front setback areas. All commercial and residential buildi11gs should have a strong relationship to the street a11d setback areas should be devoted to landscaping. 6 Avoid curb cuts along major pedestrian areas. • State Street • Grand Avenue (between Roosevelt Street and Carlsbad Blvd.) • Carlsbad Boulevard (between Grand Ave11ue and Carlsbad Village Drive) • Roosevelt Street (between Beech and Walnut) Pedestrian retail continuity ~lies on a minimum of conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. Exceptions to the cw'b cut prohibition may be considered where no other access to parking is possible or whe~ conflicts B likely to be minimal. 7 Avoid parking in block corner locations. Corners within the Village are visually important and should be occupied by interesting buildings. However, owing to limited /ocatio11 opportunities, public parking/acilitiu may be exempted so lo11g as substantial setbacks and landscaping are provided. '-1-5 8 Provide setbacks and landscaping behveen any parking lot and adjacent sidewalks, alleys or other paved pedestrian areas. Tl,e ,,isual in,,.u.c;ion of automobile parking within the Village need:; to be minimized. Par!ing lot.c; .c;hould be integrated with adjacent buildings l,y loM• walls and landc;caping to the maximum dtgree possible. 9 Avoid buildings which devote significant portions of their. ground Door space to parking uses. The 11/acement of bui!dings o,oer ground Je,,e/ 11arki11g limits tlie acetm.in1t1Jatio11 of s11pportive grou11d floor use.c; and detracts from the appear- u11ce <>f the l,uildi11g. 10 Place parking r or commercial or larger residen• tial projects below grade wherever feasible. The ,,ertical stacking of uses will allow greater developme11t intensity in the Village and the provi- sion of more surf ace area for landscaping. I I • Enhance parking lot surfaces. The use of m"dular concrete pavers. and the use of brick or co11crete bonds to dMde parking lot paving into small, i11terrelated segments should be u.c;ed where,-e,· possible. Parking and Access DESIGN GUIDELINES Building Forms DESIGN GUIDELINES I Provide for variety and divenity. An informal character and a sense of individuality are desired. Each building should express it~· uniqueness of structure, location or tenant and should be designed especially for their sites and not mere copies of generic building types which might be found anywhere. 2 Step taller buildings back at upper levels. Building structures should not overwhelm adjacent pedestrian areas. Stepbaclcs on taller buildings allow the maintenance of a small scale cnaracter near street level. In cases where taller buildings do 1101 negatively affect the visual appeara11ce of a block area, the use of balconies a11d richer details may be considered in lieu of stepbaclcs. Th" 3 l . Break large buildings into smaller units. Separations behl'een structures or recessed facade area:r should be used to break large building masse.'i into units similar in .'iize to adjacent a,id nearby smaller lot de,•elopment. 4 Maintain a relatively consistent building height along block faces. Village-scale streetscapes generally maintain an appearance of one and hl'O story buildings which unifies the commercial areas and integrates the appearance of adjacent commercial and re.'iiden- tfol Ql'l'U.'i. 5 Utili:ze simple building forms. Simple building forms related to classic residential building shapes can establish a sense of timeless- 11ess and comfortably relate buildings to one another. Trendy and "look at me" design solu- tions are strongly discouraged. Building Forms DESIGN GUIDELINES Roof Forms DESIGN GUIDELINES I Emphasize the use of gable roofs with slopes of 7 in 12 or greater. Roof forms sh~uld be prominent, simply treated and used to integrate commercial and residential structures into a unified visual environment. Gable ends or elements which face the street are encour- 'aged 2 Encourage the use of dormers in gable roofs. Dormers can add scale and interest to larger roof forms as well as provide additional occupied space within the roof form. 3 Emphasize wood and composition shingle roofs. Roofr within tl,e Village need some sense of material and color continuity because of their visual promi- nence and the de.rire to integrate wmmercial and re.,;idential development.:. into a visually unified mixed use neighborliood. Textured roofs of similar material,; and a medium to dork color range should he used to accomplish this goal. Exceptions: • Clay tile roofs are acceptable in Land Use District 5 and north along Roosevelt Street to Carlsbad Village Drive in order to promote an Hispanic character. • Metal roofs are occeptahle in land Use District 6. 4 A,·oid Oat roofs Flat roofs s/1ould be limited to minor areas which cannot be easily seen. 5 Screen mechanical equipment from public view. Roa/mounted ,nechanical equipment should be integrated into the roof form or screened from view with elements appropriate to the building •s form and appearance. Ground mounted equipment should be screened with walls and land.reaping. Roof Forms 6 Avoid mansard roof forms. Facade elements made to appear as roofs are not appropriate to the desired Yi/loge character. Building Facades DESIGN GUIDELINES I Emphasize an informal architectural character. Buildingfacades should be visually friendly and larger buildings should be non-symmetrical in composition. 2 Design visual interest into all sides of buildings Front and side facades facing streets or public access ways should receive special design allen- tion. Other facades which are visible should also be visually pleasant. 3 Utilize small individual windows except on commercial storef roots. Smaller punched window openings are appropriate to the village character and will assist in emphasiz- ing the larger commercial storefront windows. Proportions of windows should generally be vertical. Strip ribbon windows as found on commercial office buildings are not appropriate. Provide facade projections and recesses. Facade projections such as bay windows. planter boxes and roof overhangs as well as entry way recesses are elements which-add rich11ess to village facades through the creation of shadows and the cont,:ast between sunny and shady su,faces. Roof overhangs should be large enough to be a strong element of the design and supporting brackets. exte11ded roof rafters or beams, a11d rich architec- tural detail are strongly encouraged. 5 Give special design attention to upper levels of commercial structures. Special window lri m, awnings. flower boxes and other details shoultl be r1.red to increase tire ,•isual attractiveness of upper levels and relate·tJre busi11esses or residences more strongly to the street and public walkways. 6 Provide special treatment to entries for upper level uses. Rece.r.rts, paneled door.r. side lights. awning.r, carriage lights, pla,rters. special signing and similar features slio11/d be used to make entries lo upper level busine.tses or residences distinctive. 7 Utili1.e applied surface ornamentation and other detail elements for visual interest and scale. Tile. wo"d and metal ornament should be consid~ ered wl1ere appropriate to add richness and small scale detail to building facades. Examples include street 11umbers. acce11t spots or bands and art elements. Spedal treatment of gal,/e ends such as :.Iring/es should be considered. Interesting project- ing .dg,1. planter box aml flag di.rplay bracket.'i may also be appropriate.

Building materials and colors of new con.'itroction should be sensitive to adjacent buildings a11d should promote a sense of visual continuity along the street rather than seeking lo befocal points. 9 Emphasize the use of the following wall materi- als: • Wood siding • Wood shingles • Wood board and batlen siding • Stucco Exception: 10 Metal siding is acceptable in the District 6 for automotive and light industrial uses. Avoid the use of the following materials: • Simulated materials such as imitation brick or stone, marble, wood, etc. • Indoor/outdoor carpeting. • Any material that would constit11te a fire and/ or public hazard. • Distressed wood of any type (i.e .. pecky cedar). I 1 A void tinted or reflective window glass. Clear window glass allows views into storefronts and other spaces as well as allows those in.fide to be connected with the environment and activity outside. Tinted and reflective glass establish an appearance of isolation and should not be used in the Village. Where glare and heat gain are problems, other means of shielding openings such as awnings should be utilized. 12 Utilize wood, dark anodized aluminum or vinyl coated metal door and window frames. Shiny. mill fini.'ihed aluminium materials typical of :,·tore fronts of the I 9 50 's and 60 ·s are inappropri- ate to the Village. 13 A void metal awnings and canopies. Fabric awnings should be used to add color and interest lo the Village. They should be con.'ilructed <l fire treated or mm-flammable materials. 14 Encourage architectural facades emphasizing an Hispanic character in Land Use District 5. Stucco walls. clay tile roofs, glazed tile trim and tile paving are encouraged. Planters and pot brackets should be generously used to provide for an abunda11ce of flowering plants. 15 Utili1.e light and neutnl base colors. Generally muted color schemes will promote visual unity and allow awnings, window displays, signs and flower landscaping to be given proper empha- sis. White, dark and brighter trim colors are all generally acceptable. 16 Limit the materials and color palette on any single building. Variety and diversity are encouraged in the Yillage but too much on any single building can be visually disruptive. The utilization of more than three surface materials or colors should only rarely be COIL'iiJered. Building Facades Commercial Storefro11ts. BESIGN .UIDELJNES A+ B + C = 6Q% of D I Provide significant storefront glazing. A minimum of 600" of ground floor storefronts should be devoted to display windows and entries. 2 Avoid large blank walls. Blank wa/& are disruptive lo retail continuity. ~here areas of bionic walls adjacent to pedestrian areas are unavoidable, they should be treated with lattice worlc and landscaping or other elements such as art work lo soften their impact. l • 3 Encounge large window openings for restau• nots. Sliding or fold back windows which provide large openings can do much lo add interest 10 adjacent pedestrian areas while creating an outdoor dining feeling while seated inside. 4 Encounge the use of fabric awnings over storefront windows and entries. Awnings add color, pedestrian weather protection and special signing opportunities and should 1)1, be provided wherever possible to 'lJi establish a sense of continuity ~ along the street frontage. Baclc lit awnings where the awning is treated as a large sign should not be used. 5 Emphasize display windows with special lighting. Special display lighting should be provided and the u.re of small pin lights should be strongly considered to frame display windows and pr01•ide a nighttime sparkle .. Use of pin lights should also be con.videreJ to highlight interesting facade profiles or special elements .vuch as balconies, cornices and similar features. / 6 Encourage the use of dutch doors. Wood dutch doors where the upper paneis may be .reparately opened in good weather serve to create a friendly shopping en,•ironmtnl and strong connection between the shops and passing pedestrians. Commercial Storefronts • 7 Utiliu small paned windows. Divided pane windows used in storefront display windows, entry doors and transoms lend a traditional feel to shops and reinforce a village character. Not all windows need to be treated in this way but enough along a bloclc front .rhould be to become a noticeable feature of the Village's storefronts. 8 Develop a total design concept. Facade designs should unify all design elements including upper level treatments and building signage. DESIGN GUIDELINES L.1-t6 Commercial Storefronts DESIGN GUIDELINES 9 Provide frequent entries. long storefronts should have multiple entries to preserve the small scale and character of the Village. 10 Limit the extent of entry openings. Entry openings should be limited to about JO'¼ of the storefront width or about 8 feet whicl,ever is larger to preserve display windows. Exceptions may be made for uses which open up all or most of the facade (e.g., bookstalls, produce markets). I I Avoid exterior pull down shutten and sliding or fixed security grilles over windows along street frontages.

Covered entry areas from small porches over entry doors to larger porches stretching across the width of the facade are 011e of the features which distin- guish older, traditional residential areas in our cities. Porches provide a welcome se11se of entry and give depth and richness to street front facades. 4 Provide windows looking out to the street. Windows related to tlie street can increase the feeling of neighborhood and enhance a sense of security. Unfriendly blank facades and high walls should be avoided. Residential 5 Utiliu simple color schemes. .A neutral base color with white or a light color trim accented with the limited use of brighter colors would be appropriate to the scale and character of the neighborhood. The trim color should be used to link porches, windows, gable trim and other building delails into a unified composition. /11 some cases, brighter base colors may be acceptable hut only on very small reside11ces or in limited areas.

Large areas of paving especially when ,uible from adjacent sidewalks are discouraged and front or side yard paved areas for ,·ehide parking are not appropriate. ,,. ,,,. 9 Limit access drives to ganges or surface parking areas. The minimization of paving along street frontages will allow the Je11elopment of a richer landscaped enl'ironment. Drive ways should be limited 10 a maximum of JO.feet in width except along alleys where 20 feet is acceptable. 10 Encounge detached ganges which are subordinate in visual importance to the house itself. Garages and their entries should not be allowed to dominate the architectural character of a home or residential complex. They should be placed toward the rear of a parcel wherever possible. 1 1 Provide quality designed fences and walls. Open picket fences are encouraged along itrell frontages and perpendicular to street, in front yard areas. Other fences and walls should provide a positive visudl appearance and depth of surface treatment provided by vertical posts, board and batten.r, lallice work or similar constructions. Chain link fences and solid concrete block wol/s are strongly discouraged. Residential 12 Visually sepante multi-family developments into smaller components.

Allowable Ana Six (6) square fttl each, excluding supponing brackets. SIGNAGE I Relate the location or signs to the building on which they are attached. • Projecting signs should not generally be mounted above the second floor window sill in • multi-storied buildings. In some cases, a higher moW1ting height is appropriate but the sign top, bottom and mow,ting should bear some relationship to the second floor windows. • Projecting signs should be oriented to pedestrians passing on the sidewalk in front of the building. 2 Relate the design of projecting sign to the individual business and building. • Square or recrangular shapes with painted or applied letters and shapes are generally appropriate for any business. • Painted or applied logos or other shapes (e.g., a hanger for dry cleaners) can add special interest to otherwise flat surfaced projecting signs. • Projecting signs with irregular outlines and/or internal cut-outs should be considered. • Two or three dimensional icon signs related to specific businesses can add interest and a touch of hwnor to the shopping and business environment. The following are examples: • Unicycle for a bicycle shop • Tooth for a dentist • E yeglasscs for an optometry shop. • Wok for a Chinese reslauranl • Booe for a shoe repair business • Film projector for a video store 3 Provide well designed mounting brackets. Simple roW1d pipe brackets with plugged ends or added decorative end clements arc generally appropriate for any signs. However, metal brackets of a more decorative and complex shape arc encouraged where appropriate to the character of the sign and the buildings. In addition to adding to the uniqueness and visual character of the sign, they cast interesting shadows on wall surfaces and convey an impression of special concern for the appearance of the business. 4 Limit sign projections and ·mounting heights from the face of the buildings~ • Projections of 36 inches are appropriate at a sidewalk. • Projections of 24 inches arc appropriate at alleys and other locations. • Provide a minimum clearance of 12 inches between the building face and sign. • Vertical clearance of 8 feet should be provided along pedestrian areas. • Vertical clearance of 14 feet is needed at alleys, parking lots or other areas subject to vehicular traffic. 5 Maintain a unity to the general siu of projecting signs. Projecting signs, excluding supporting brackets, should fit within an imaginary rectangle with a maximum area of 6 square feet. Exceptions to this limitation may be considered for special signs utilizing shapes, symbols or icons uniquely suited to the business. Sig11 G11idelines Projecting Signs SIGNAGE 5-1 Awning signs add color to the Village shopping enviromnent and are often more visible to passing automobiles and by pedestrians from the opposite side of the street, especially in circumstances where street trees partially obstruct wall sigm. In additioo they offer the potential for unique design applications to enrich the shopping environment in the Village. Awning signs are those signs which are printed oo, painted oo or attached to an awning or canopy above a business do<r or window. Also, in some cases, as determined by the Housing and Redevelopment Director pursuant to applicable sign regulatims, an awning sign may be defined as an awning without any business information printed oo, painted an or attached to it, if the awning serves as an attention- getting device on its own due to coloring, design, lighting or other architectural features. Allowable Area • Awning Valences 0.5 square feet for every lineal foot of valence length • Awning Faces 10~ of awning face area • Awning Sides 40'1 of awning side area For any awning which serves as a sign in itself, the entire awning will represent the sign for ~culation purposes.

I -Identification Signs -Vehicle Oriented Ground signs should be used primarily to identify uses which may be in the rear of a property, such as a parking lot, or to identify other facilities or major tenants which may be located behind the building which fronts on the street. The signs may also be used for uses which have substantial front- yard setbaclcs and have a need to direct traffic to the building location. These type of signs should be used for buildings where other allowed types of sigoage would not provide adequate identification. It is anticipated that this type of signage would only rarely be appropriate. I l I 1 I The maximum allowable sign area includes any surrounding frame materials. The maximum sign height should not exceed sixty (60) inches including any sign hue.

This condition substantially inhibits creative and desirable building use changes, expansion of succe~ul businesses and the redevelopment of properties to more appropriate uses. Given the relatively high land costs, small properties have just. not been able to generate enough revenue producing space and still accommodate the required parking. In general, the basic parking requirements are reasonable based on parking demand for various land uses. However, the Redevelopment Agency has determined that options need to be available to develope~property owners for meeting the on-site parking requirements. The primary purpose of this parking plan is to use parking policies and standards as tools to achieve Village revitalization. The objectives of the parking plan are as follows: l. 2. To establish appropriate parking requirements and options to providing parking that"an incentive for new investment in the Village.· 1~ Increase the utility of existing parking resources and the overall supply of parking as needed to accommodate relocated and newly-recruited businesses and new customers. 3. Control the design and configuration of parking facilities to promote a storefront shopping environment. Un)es,<; otherwise specified within this Village Master Plan and Design Manual. the parking standards set forth within this Olapter shall apply to all properties within the Village Redevelopment Area for the applicable land use. Chapter 21.44 (parking) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code shall be referenced for regulation purposes only on matters which are not specifically addressed within this Chapter of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS The parking standards for on-site parking for the properties located within the Village Redevelopment Area are set forth in the charts which follow this page. The requirements set forth within the following charts reflect the shared trip and high turnover characteristics of parking in a neighborhood-oriented commercial district, such as the Village Redevelopment Area. 1be applicant for a project or a land use change shall be. required to satisfy the on-site parking requirements as set forth within this Chapter. The applicant may satisfy the parking obligation by providing the parking on-site or by receiving approval to implement one of the options noted in the "Parking Options" section of this Olapter. CONVERTING USES Space may be converted from one approved use to another approved use without additional parking providing both uses have the same parking requirements according to the parking requirements set forth within this Chapter of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. The applicant for a change in use must refer to Chapter 7 (page 7-12) of this Village Master Plan and Design Manual to determine of a redevelopment permit· is required for the subject use conversions. The project may either be exempt from a redevelopment permit or require an administrative redevelopment permit. 6-/ VILLAGE PARKING REQUIREMENTS TABLE Recail Business; 1 space per 300 square feet (sf) of gross floor space Commercial (General): . 1 space per 300 sf of gross floor space Includes A TMs, copying/duplicating services, word processing services, dry cleaners, laundromat, beauty and barber shops, cosmetic services, nail salons, shoe/garment repair, travel agent, etc. Automotive Services: 4 spaces per work bay through 3 bays and 2 spaces Includes painting/detailing, service/repair, towing, per bay in excess of 3.

APPLICATION OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS 1be above parking requirements shall apply to all projects within the Village Redevelopment Area. When the parking requirement is not specified herein, it shall be determined as provided in Chapter 21.44, based upon requirements for the most comparable use specified herein or in Chapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. If Chapter 21.44 allows the Planning Director to make the detennination, the Housing and Redevelopment Director shall be authorized to make the detennination for projects within the Village Redevelopment Area. Mixed Use Parking Ratios may be used for calculating the on-site parking requirements for a project within the Village Redevelopment Area if, and when, there are clearly identifiable service or business areas within a building which justify the mixed parking ratio. No administrative or regular redevelopment pennit may be granted, however, wile~ the decision maker finds that use of the mixed parking ratio will not have an adverse parking impact on surrounding land uses. A maximum of forty percent (40%) of the total number of parking spaces provided on-site may be constructed to meet the requirements of a small or compact vehicle, as defined in the Carlsbad Municipal Code. PARKING OPTIONS Providing required parking on-site is not the only option available for meeting the parking requirements set forth in this Oiapter of the Village Mamer Plan and Design Manual. The following options are also available: 1. Lease arrangements for providing joint or shared parking in existing or new parking lots for one or more developments may be permitted on a case by case basis. Cliapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code outlines the conditions Wlder which a joint/shared parking arrangement may be pennitted by the Redevelopment Agency for two or more development projects, or busine8'S, within the Village Redevelopment Aiea. In the Village Redevelopment Arca, however, shared parking arrangements may be permitted with distances of 300 feet between the parking and the subject developments/busines9es requiring the parking. This is an exception to the regulations outlined in Otapter 21.44 of the Municipal Code for projects located within the Village Redevelopment Area only .. The Housing and Redevelopment Director must evaluate the feasibility of a joint/shared parking arrangement between private parties and then make i aecommendation to the Design Review Board for consideration of approval.. If the Design Review Board does not have final approving authority,·the Board must then make a recommendation to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission as to whether or not the parking arrangement should ultimately be approved to assis in the subject development Banks are an example of a type of business that has an on-site parking lot which may be underutili7.ed during the evenings and· weekends. A restaurant which in only open evenings and weekends may be able to receive approval for a joint/shared parking arrangement with the bank. 1 . 2. 3. Provision or parking for a specific development or business on another private lot within at least 300 feet of the subject development or business. • Under this option, a developer or business owner may purchase additional property, or enter into a long term lease for additional property, within 300 feet of the property for the subject new development or business and meet the required on-site parking on this separate property. This option may be used by several businesses or developers to meet individual parking requirements. One or more developers/business owners could arrange to provide parking for their individual developments or businesses in a central location within 300 feet of each development or business. All of the developen;/businesses would be responsible for on-going maintenance of the joint/shared parking lot. The Housing and Redevelopment Director must evaluate the feasibility of this type of a joint/shared parking arrangement between private parties and then make a recommendation to the Design Review Board for consideration of approval.. If the Design Review Board does not have final approving authority, the Board must then make a recommendation to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission as to whether or not the parking arrangement should ultimately be approved to assist in the subject development. This option would be similar to a parking district which use.es property owners for the provision of parking for customers or patrons to the aiea. In-Lieu Fee may be paid toward maintenance of existing, or development of future, public parking facilities (See Page 6-6 for full description of the Agency's parking ln-Ueu Fee .Program for the Village Redevelopment Area). l . I I PARKING IN-LIEU FEE PROGRAM The in-lieu (impact) fee program pools fees for all districts within the Village to support the development and maintenance of public parking. Fees are based upon a determination of the estimated cost of providing an above ground structured parking apace, including land, construction, soft costs and maintenance. The in-lieu fee payment will always be made for a whole parking space. Fees collected will be deposited into an earmarked, interest-bearing fund to be used for construction of new, or maintenance of existing, public parking facilities within the Village Redevelopment Area. The funda are pooled because all of the land use districts within the Village share a coanon trade area and all are part of a coordinated revitalization atrategy. A public parking facility which may have direct benefit for one district will have indirect benefits for other districts and for the Village as a whole. Two aspects of the in-lieu fee program are essential to understand: 1. ft• fund■ are put toward developaent, or aaintenaace, of ■hared Village public parking facili.tie■. They do not result in a reserved parking apace or spaces for those who pay the feea. Reserved parking conflicts with the objective of maximizing the utility of all parking resources. 2. In-Lieu fee■ alone are not likely to equal the entire cost of new parking facilitie■ on a per space ba■i■. They will need to be matched or leveraged with other funding sources. Because they are intended to function as an incentive, in-lieu fees are not expected to cover the cost of remedying existing parking deficits. In-Lieu feea will alao reflect the fact that public parking will be shared resulting in better utilization and relatively lower costs in compariaion to the coat of exclusive on-site private parking. For the purposes of detennining participation in the Village Parking In-Lieu Fee Program, the Village is hereby divided into two (2) parking zones as shown on Figure 16 {page 6-9). Developers/property owners will be eligible to participate in the program according to the parking zone in which they are located. No redevelopment permit will be issued unless the appropriate decision-maker finds that: I. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual; and 2. The use is ~onsistent with the land use district in which the property is located; and, 3. Adequate public parking is available within the Village to accommodate the project's parking demand; and 4. The In-Lieu Fee Program has not been suspended or terminated by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. PARKING ZONES Figure 16 identifies the zones for the In-Lieu Fee Parking Program. The participation restrictions outlined below correspond to the appropriate zone number. IONB #1: Developers/property owners within this zone may be allowed to make an In-Lieu Fee payment for up to one hundred percent (100\) of the on-site parking requirement for the proposed new development, conversion and/or intensification of u ■e if the property is located within 600 feet of an existing public parking facility. (See Figure 17 for existing public parking facility locations.) If the property is not located within 600 feet of an existing public parking facility but a new facility is proposed to be constructed and available for use within a period not to exceed two (2) years, a developer/property owners will be elig_ible to make an in-lieu fee payment for up to 100% of the on-site parking ~uirement If the property is not, and will not soon be, located within 600 feet of an existing or proposed public parking facility, a developer/property owner will be eligible to make an in-lieu fee payment for a maximum of SO\ of the on-site parking requirement. IOD #2: Developers/property owners within this zone may be allowed to make an In-Lieu Fee payment for up to fifty percent (SO\) of the on-site parking requirement for the proposed new development, conversion and/or intensification of use if the property is located within 600 feet of an existing public parking facility. (See Figure 17 for existing public parking facility locations.) If the property is not located within 600 feet of an existing public parking facility but a new facility is proposed to be constructed and available for use within a period not to exceed two (2) years, a developer/property owners will be eligible to make an in-lieu fee payment for up to 50% of the on-site parking ~uirement • • If the property is not, and will not soon be, located within 600 feet of an existing or proposed public parking facility, a developer/property owner will be eligible to make an in-lieu fee payment for a maximum of 25\ of the on-site parking requirement. (j,-7 l . PUBLIC PARKING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT In order to manage the existing public parking resources for the In-Lieu Fee Program and insure timely construction of new public parking facilities, the Housing and Redevelopment Department shall conduct a Village Parking Utilii.ation Survey. The Housing and Redevelopment Department may conduct the survey at any time when deemed appropriate and/or necessary to insure the timely construction of new public parking facilities and continuation of the In-Lieu Fee Program; this may be on an aMual basis or several times a year. Upon reviewing the survey results, if the Department finds that there are insufficient public parking resources during peak hours/days to accommodate additional requests from developers/property owners to make an In-Lieu Fee payment for on-site parking in either zone, the Department shall recommend to the Housing and Redevelopment Commi~ion that this policy be temporarily suspended until additional parking capacity has been provided or is sufficiently committed to insure the timely development of additional public parking facilities. By aMually reviewing the status of the In-Lieu Fee Program and plans for constructing new public parking facilities as appropriate, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission will ensure that implementation of this parking program/option will not have a significant adverse impact on public parking resources within the Village Redevelopment Area. The Housing and Redevelopment Commi~on shall aMually determine the appropriate public parking utilization ratio to be considered in determining whether or not there are adequate public parking resources available to continue the program. SETTING THE PARKING IN-LIEU FEE The methodology for determining the In-Lieu Fee Parking Fee and the respective amount of the fee shall be fixed by a schedule adopted, from time to time, by resolution of the Housing and Redevelopment Comm~on in accordance with the Housing and Redevelopment Commi~on Policies and Procedwes Manual.. The fee shall be set at a given percentage of the total cost of providing a single above growid structured public parking space; the percentage shall be set by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission as pan of the "method" for determining the fee. This percentage shall recogniz.e the fact that the in-lieu fees will need to be matched or leveraged in order to produce public parking for the Village and that public parking will be jointly used by developers paying the In-Lieu fee. The fee is not expected to cover the entire cost of providing a single space of public parking. The fees will be pooled and matched/leveraged to produce additional parking facilities. For more details on the methodology to be used for establishing the fee for the program, reference should be made to the Housing and Redevelopment Commisgon Policies and Procedures Manual. PARKING ZONES FOR IN-LIEU FEE PROGRAM Figure 16 (page 6-9) provides a map which sets forth the boWldaries for the two (2) zones for the In-Lieu Fee Parking Program. 1hc participation restrictions oudined in the previous pages correspond to the zone number indicated on the following map shown in Figure 16. Figure 17 (page 6- 10) provides a map of the various public parking lots which are located within the Village Redevelopment Area .. As oudined in the previous pages on the In-Lieu Fee program, the location of the public parking lots is used to detennine the percentage of the on-site parking requirement which can be satisfied through payment of a parking in-lieu fee. l .. > " • " 0 n -> • CARI.SBAD VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT PARKING PLAN FIGUREJ' Public Parking Resources ···~ ·, . -• 1-· • # ... _ •.

In the Village Redevelopment Area, the Redevelopment Agency will implement two (2) programs for parking management purposes. First, in the core downtown area (see Figure 18 for the boundaries), all on-street parking will be limited to two (2) hours maximum (no less), unless a street or a portion of the street has already been posted as a "no parking area" such as Carlsbad Village Drive or has a more restrictive time constraint. If not already posted, the Redevelopment Agency will work with the City Council to obtain ordinance changes authorizing, with the recommendation of the Traffic Commission and City Traffic Engineer, to approve the two (2) hour parking restrictions and posting of the appropriate signs in accordance with the policy of so restricting traffic in the areas indicated on Figure 18. The Agency will work with the City's Police Department for enforcement of the two (2) hour parking restriction. All public parking lots within the core downtown area shall remain with unlimited parking -no time restrictions. The lots will be available for • merchants/employees in the Village who need all day parking and/or customers who will be in the area for longer than two (2) hours. Second, in all areas of the Village, t,ie Redevelopment Agency will work with the Village Business Association to establish a program designed to encourage merchants and their employees to use non-prime parking in an effort to make the prime parking available to customers of all businesses in a given area. If efforts to gain voluntary compliance are unsuccessful, the Agency will work with the Village Business Association to establish a Parking Management Plan which may be much more aggressive and tailored to specific downtown problems. The compliance measures for the Plan could range from employee parking stickers, to license plate checks and fines. PARKING IMPROVEMENTS Parking improvements within the Village Redevelopment Area shall reflect the following policies: 1. Improvements should enhance both real and perceived supply of parking. 2. 3. 4. Shared lot arrangements should be established or facilitated wherever possible. Most areas within the Village do not have a supply problem as much as a utility and distribution problem. To minimize visual impacts and disruption of commercial frontages, new lots should be constructed off the main thoroughfares. They should be distributed throughout the Village, rather than concentrated in a single location. They should incorporate attractive design features and landscaping that complements the image of the Village. Parking structures should be used when parking opportunities are constrained by land availability or negative impacts on adjacent commercial or residential fabric. If located on a thoroughfare, they should always include first floor commercial uses. 6-1 I The map provided in Figure 18 indicates the boundaries of the area for two (2) hour parking restrictions with the Village Redevelopment Area. As shown on the map, the two (2) hour parking restrictions shall be limited to the core downtown area. All on-street parking within the area identified in Figure 18 will be restricted to two (2) hour parking, with approval of the appropriate ordinance by the City Council as recommended by the Traffic Commission. The two (2) hour parking restriction will not apply to public parking lots within the boundaries of the time-restricted parking area. I . 7 DESIGN REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL PROCESS REDEVELOPMENT PERMITS Administrative Responsibilities The Housing and Redevelopment Director shall have the responsibility for the administration of the Redevelopment Permit Process. The Director's duties include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) reviewing applications and making a determination of completeness for processing purposes; 2) making project exempt determinations as related to permit requirements or identifying the type of redevelopment/coastal development permit required, if project is not exempt; 3) maintaining records of project exempt determinations as related to requirements for redevelopment or coastal development permits; 4) approval or denial of admini- trative permits; 5) referral of non- administrative permits to the Design Review Board and Housing and Redevelopment Commission, as appropriate; and 6) physical preparation and delivery of the approving documents and permits related to the subject project. Staff of the Housing and Redevelopment Department, acting under the supervision of the Housing and Redevelopment Director, shall be responsible for coordinating all activities leading to approval, or denial of a Redevelopment Permit. Such activities may include, but are not limited to, document processing, report writing, scheduling of Design Review Board and Housing and Redevelopment Commission public meetings and hearings, and preparation of recommendations, meeting minutes and resolutions. General Policy Due to the complexity of overlapping areas of authority, the permit process for the Village Redevelopment Area has been designed to address 1) the goals and objectives for the Village Redevelopment Area as a whole and 2) the goals and objectives of the Coastal Commission for the portion of the Village Redevelopment Area which lies within the Coastal Zone Boundaries. The permit structure which is summarized on the following page (7-2) combines the permit requirements for the redevelopment area and the coastal zone. Unless a project is exempt from the permit requirements noted herein and set forth in Chapter 21.35 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, a redevelopment permit is required. If the property for the subject project is also located in the Coastal Zone, a coastal development permit is required in addition to the redevelopment permit, unless the project is exempt as noted herein and set forth in Chapter 21.81 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Exempt projects: Projects in the Village Redevelopment Area which are exempt from Coastal Development Permits, per the Coastal Commission Act, are also exempt from Redevelopment Permit requirements. Administrative projects. Projects which are eligible for an administrative redevelopment permit are also eligible for an admini- strative coastal development permit. Revised, 10/4/95 Minor or Major Redevelopment projects. For projects within the coastal zone, a coastal development permit will be processed concurrently with the minor or major redevelopment permit. As a note, variances can only be approved by the Design Review Board or Housing and Redevelopment Commission. A minor or major redevelopment permit, therefore, will be required for any project application which includes a request for a variance, even if that project would have otherwise been exempt from the permit requirements or eligible for an administrative permit. The various types of permits required within the Village Redevelopment Area are further defined within Chapters 21.35 and 21.81 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The policies and procedures for processing redevelopment and coastal development permits are further defined within the Housing and Redevelopment Commission Policies and Procedures Manual. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Revised 10/4/95 REDEVELOPMENT PERMITS Authority for Approval Exempt projects: The Housing and Redevelopment Director shall be responsible for determining whether or not a project is exempt from the permit requirements and maintaining the record of exemption. Administrative permits: The Housing and Redevelopment Director shall have the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny an administrative permit for an eligible administrative project. No action is needed by the Design Review Board or the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. Minor Redevelopment permits: The Design Review Board shall have the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny Minor Redevelopment Permits. The Design Review Board shall also act upon appeals from decisions made by the Housing and Redevelopment Director. Major Redevelopment permits: The Housing and Redevelopment Commission shall have the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny Major Redevelopment Permits following receipt of a recommendation from the Design Review Board. The Commission shall also act upon appeals from decisions made by the Design Review Board. Consolidation of Permits Whenever several different types of permits or approvals are required for a project, the decision-making body on all of the permits shall be the body with the highest level authority on any of the individual permits. This means that the Director, or the Design Review Board or the Housing and Redevelopment Commission will be the decision-making body on all actions, including the highest and lowest level permits. Appeal Process Exempt projects: For projects within the Coastal Zone, the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission, or the Coastal Commission, shall have the authority to resolve disputes regarding determinations of exemptions. For projects located within the Redevelopment Area but not in the Coastal Zone, the determination of exemption made by the Housing and Redevelopment Director shall be final. . Administrative permits: An appeal of a decision made by the Housing and Redevelopment Director on administrative permits may be made to the Design Review Board. All appeals must be made in writing within ten (1 0) calendar days of the decision made by the Housing and Redevelopment Director. The decision of the Design Review Board on appeals is final. Minor Redevelopment permits: An appeal of a decision made by the Design Review Board on minor redevelopment permits may be made to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. All appeals must be made in writing within ten (1 0) calendar days of the decision made by the Design Review Board. The decision of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission on appeals is final. Major Redevelopment permiM;. There is no appeal from a decision made by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission on major redevelopment permits. Coastal Development permits: If a project is located within the Coastal Zone of the Village Redevelopment Area and the local action is appealable to the Coastal Commission, an appeal must be submitted directly to the Coastal Commission. Any person who wishes to appeal a local action which is appealable to the Coastal Commission should contact the Housing and Redevelopment Department or the local Coastal Commission office for more information. Coastal Development Permits Unless found to be exempt, all development within the Coastal Zone segment of the Village Redevelopment Area shall be subject to prior issuance of a Coastal Development Permit. This permit may be administratively approved by the Housing and Redevelop- ment Director or subject to discretionary approval by the Design Review Board or Housing and Redevelopment Commission. The permit summary chart on page 7-2 outlines the types of permits to be issued for redevelopment projects. These permit types apply to coastal development projects as well. For example, if a redevelopment project is located in the coastal zone and is eligible for an administrative redevelopment permit, then an administrative coastal development permit will also be processed for the project. The administrative responsibilities identified for the Housing and Redevelopment Director as well as staff of the Housing and Rede- velopment Department shall also apply to the processing of coastal development permits. The appeal process is also the same for coastal development permits, with the exception that some permits issued within the Coastal Zone are appealable to the Coastal Commission. PROCESSING PERMITS The chart which follows this page is provided to assist the applicant in understanding the steps which will generally be taken by staff and the appropriate approving bodies to process an application for a redevelopment project. It should be noted that approval of a redevelopment or coastal development permit is the first step for completing a project within the Village Redevelopment Area. Other permits, such as building permits or business licenses, may arso be required prior to initiation of a project or a business. If a redevelopment or coastal development permit is required, the applicant will not be able to obtain approval of any other required permits until the redevelopment and/or coastal development permit has been approved by the appropriate body. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission Policies and Procedures Manual should also be referenced for information on the processing of redevelopment and coastal development permits within the Village Redevelopment Area.

The map provided in Figure 19 identifies the location of primary streets in the Village, bicycle routes and the transit center. Vehicular Circulation The existing village street network is adequate to accommodate foreseeable future development without major changes. Carlsbad Village Drive and Carlsbad Boulevard are significant roadways in the Village and carry the majority of traffic to and through the area. Grand Avenue, Jefferson Street, Roosevelt Street, State Street and short segment of Oak A venue are significant feeder streets to the Village. Other streets are largely local serving. Bicycle Cin:ulation Routes are as designated on the map in Figure 19 and as provided for in the Carlsbad General Plan. The potential may exist in the future for a bicycle path along the railroad right-of-way which would add to the bicycle circulation element of this plan. Tr.msit Cader A commuter rail station and major bus transfer node is located north of Grand Avenue between State Street and Washington Street. CIRCULATION PLAN 8-1 Future Pedestrian Walks will have: • lnfonnal landscaping • • • Special lighting for visual interest and safety. Other uses (e.g .• residences) which enhance the interest and safety of the walkways. Seating, mini•parks and childrm's play areas. Major Pedestri1n Streets will have: • A high degree of retail continuity to acid interest to the walking experience and provide a strong focus of mail activity. • Few curb cuts to minimia: pedestrian conflicts with vebides.

CIRCULAnGN PLAN 8-2.. l . l • ) • l SECTION III ,l l . l 9 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY I j VILLAGE IIIPLBIIBRTATIOII SDATBGY In 1992, the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency initiated a comprehensive review/evaluation of the Redevelop- ment Area. The purpose of the evaluation was to review what had been accomplished to date in the Village Redevelopment Area and what was still needed or desired. The goal was to create a "Master Plan" for the Village Area which addressed the following: □ Identification of ■pacific areas within the Village which are, or will be, strong candidate■ for rede•elopaeat within the next 10 to 15 years; □ Pro•i■ioa of an o•erall de•elopaent strategy that evaluate■ the ecoaoaic potential of ••rioua developaent aarketa aa they relate to ■pacific ■itea within the carlabad Village Red••elopaea~ Ar-; □ Batabli■haeat of specific de•elopaent ataDdarda for project■ within the Area; □ The shift of eapba■i• froa publicly-funded to pri•ately- funded revitalisation effort■; and, □ Developaent of a strategy for creating a strong ideati- ficatioa or iaage for the Village Redevelopaeat Area. The first and second sections of this document, the •Introduction• and "Village Design Manual•, address all of the above issues through the establishment of l) a vision, goals and objectives;.2) special develop- ment opportunities; 3) design guidelines; and, 4) universal and specific development standards. The l. "vision• for the Village Redevelopment Area helps to create the identification or image for the Area. The purpose of this third, and final, section, entitled "Implementation Strategy•, is to outline additional actions which can be taken, or programs which can be implemented, to further assist in the ongoing effort to revitalize the Redevelopment Area and create the ·desired stronger image for the Village. Thia "Implementation Strategy" sets forth an action framework for various activities to be pursued within the Village Redevelopment Area over the next 10 to 15 years (until the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan expires). Thia aecti~n provides guidance to the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency as to the types of programs and activities which will be pursued as part of the revitalization/redevelopment program. To make the Village vision a reality, a broad range of different activities/actions are required that will extend over many years. The total effort will include some direct public investment, joint public/private effort and some purely private actions, all consistent with the goals and overall program. The public actions will include some "carrots", such as direct public investment, design assistance, and assistance in finding or retaining businesses that help meet program goals. There will also be "sticks" or rules to assure that standards are adhered to and that activities or projects which are inconsistent with the program goals do not occur. These rules are important because private investment may not occur unless businesses and property owners know that others will be required to meet the same standards and quality levels. Th~ "Village Design Manual" section of this Master Plan document sets forth these required rules for development. This third section of the document sets forth guidance for the "carrots" and the other activities which are planned, or will be pursued, to assist in revitalizing the Area. The timetable for implementing the activities within this Master Plan document for the Village is not date~specific. Precise dates for various imple- mentation activities of the program are primarily a function of the budgeting process as resources are made available to support them. There are two (2) basic documents which will be used to set the priorities for implementation of the various programs outlined within this Implementation Strategy. The first is the Redevelopment Agency Annual Budget which is adopted by the first of each fiscal year. (July 1). Also, aa required by California Redevelopment Law, the R~development Agency must prepare a Five Year Implementation Plan which includes an outline of how the Agency will expend ita funds on redevelopment activities, including affordable housing. This Implementation Plan can be reviewed on an annual basis and modified as necessary according to applicable procedures set forth within California Redevelopment Law. The alloctaion of redevelopment fund resources will be provideed within these two (2) described documents. Financing ·for redevelopment activities is further described below. Cf-I FIRAHCIJfG REDBVBLOPMBN'.r PROGRAMS The Village Redevelopment Program ia anchored by a concept of public/ private joint participation. Thia public/private concept also includes the mechanisms whereby the Revitalization Program is financed. U■e of Public Funds: The primary source of funding for projects in the Village Redevelop- ment Area is "tax increment". These funds are used to finance projects which eliminate blight and have a public benefit. Unfortunately, these funds are fairly limited. Therefore, in the years ahead, the Redevelop- ment Agency will explore alternate funding sources such as grants, assessment districts, development of a "Business Improvement District", state and federal funding programs, and any other eligible funding mechanism which may be made available to the Agency for redevelopment activities. As required by AB 1290 which was effective January 1, 1994 and made major changes to Redevelopment Law, the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency is required to prepare a five year implementation plan as indicated above. The Agency approved its first 5 year plan in January, 1995. The Plan highlights the expenditure plan for the Village Redevelopment Agency. As stated previously, this Plan can be reviewed on an annual basis, or more often if necessary, and modified as appropriate to reflect changes .in funding/project priorities within the Village Redevelopment Area and related to expenditure of "tax increment" or houisng set-aside funds. All expenditures of redevelopment funds must be consistent with this required implementation plan in order to comply with applicable California Redevelopment Law. As available and feasible, the Agency will pursue other sources of public funding which may be available for funding redevelopment or revitalization activities within the Village Redevelopment Area. U■e of Private Funds: On the private side, the Village Redevelopment Program is financed through new development in the Village and by individuals investing in the improvement and upgrading of the existing buildings in the area. It is expected that the public sector contribution will encourage and stimulate an even greater private sector investment in the program. The proposed "Business Retention Program" is also intended to encourage private investment in the Village by attracting viable businesses to the area and identi- fying needed services and amenities conducive to retaining existing 1, / CARLSBAD VILLAGE / zoo, ~ ···--Qrowtll • N1 1'1'-')'THl.evel .........

Other funding which may be available through private non-profit (or for profit) interest groups, such aa the Historical or Arts Society, will also be used as appropriate to fund various activities within the Village Redevelopment Area. ¢:J Increment la uaed to laau• and repay bonda and pay admln. coata ot Agency. :=::=:=::::=:::¢:J Program• alao aid In Iner•••• In aal•• tax.

CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS Generally, it has been determined that the circulation system within the Village Redevelopment Area is adequate to support existing and future development. However, a number of areas within the Village still need sidewalks and other street improvements. As funds become available and as private properties are developed, the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency will continue its efforts to provide sidewalks and appropriate street improvements throughout the Village to improve/ enhance vehicular and pedestrian circulation. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS With completion of the five (S) phases of the Streetscape Project, much of the public improvement program within the Village has been accomplished. However, the Redevelopment Agency will continue ef.forts to complete public improve- ments as appropriate over the next ten (10) years. The following public improvement projects will be pursued: 1) street enhancements (including decorative crosswalks, landscaping and street furniture) to Roosevelt Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Walnut Street; 2) the conatruction of a boardwalk and ocean scenic overlook at the end of Carlsbad Village Drive; 3) Addition of street trees and hanging flower baskets at various locations in the Village; 4) pedestrian scale lighting throughout the Village; 5) pedestrian connections between Madison and Roosevelt Streets; 6) enhanced public signage for such facilities as public parking lots, parks, etc.; 7) pursue development of additional public restrooms within the Village; 8) work with SDG&E and private property owners/developers to underground utilities throughout the Village; TRANSPORTATION The Redevelopment Agency will continue to support projects which will enhance public transportation opportunities for persons living, working, shopping or visiting within the Village Redevelopment Area. The Commuter Rail and Bue Transfer Station within the Village Redevelopment Area will provide opportunities for persons who live in or around the Village to access job sites in downtown San Diego or in oth,er cities north/south of Carlsbad. Eventually, the San Diego Commuter Rail System will also connect with the Commuter Rail System (Metrolink) currently operating in orange/Los Angeles County; this will offer enhanced public transportation opportunities to pereons living in Carlsbad, specifically the Village, and commuting to jobs in other areas. The Agency will pursue transit- oriented developments which will enchance this transportation center within the Village. As feasible and possible, the Redevelopment Agency will also encourage North County Transit District to improve bus transportation services both in and around the Village Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Agency will also research and pursue alternate forms· of public transportation systems to be used within the boundaries of the Village and/or to selected locations outside the Village suah as the City Library, Parks, Recreation Centers, etc. These alternate forms of transportation to be pursued may include, but are not limited to: 1) a horse and carriage service; 2) mini-trolley (motorized) syste~; and/or, 3) a dial-a-ride van or cab service. To encourage the greater use of bicycles and mopeds, the Agency will pursue funding to install bike racks in the various public parking lot■ within the Village and at various locations on the public sidewalks throughout the Village. Private developers of new projects within the Village will also be encouraged to add bicycle racks on private property to develop this "bicycle friendly" environment. Additionally, the Agency will work with the City•• Engineering Department to ensure that there are adequate and safe bicycle lanes within the Village to enhance circulation opportunities and reduce conflicts with vehicle■ and/or pedestrians. CULTURAL FACILITIES Toe development of cultural facilities in the Village will add greatly to the attractiveness of the Village as a destination for tourists and Carlsbad residents. The Redevelopment Agency will work closely with the Carlsbad Ans Commission and City's Ans Manager to identify possible sites for additional cultural facilities within the Village and/or for . increasing cultural activity opportunities. Since the Redevelopment Agency bas very limited resoun:es, efforts will need to be made to explore and pursue other funding sources, such as bonds or state/federal grants, to assist in the effort to develop these facilities and/or activity opportunities. Strong support haa been expressed for reopening the c•rlabad Theater as a first run cinema and perhaps other community uses, such as dramatic preeentations, dance/music recitals and more. Since the Theater is currently privately owned, the Agency has limited.authority to implement this program. However, the Agency will continue to encourage the renovation of the Theater by other private or public entitiea and attempt to facilitate city approvals to reopen the building according to applicable development standards/ building codes. If it is not possible to renovate and reopen the Carlsbad Theater, the Agency will pursue other opportunities which may be preaented by other private or public parties for providing new cultural arts facilities, including a theater, within the Village. The Redevelopment Agency will work with and support the City's Arts Office efforts to sponsor a series of on-going, ■mall-scale arts activities within the Village to i attract local residents to the area in greater numbers. Live/work accoamodations for local artists will be encouraged by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency. The Village Land Use Plan has been revised to allow these type of uses in several of the land use districts within the area. The Agency will explore and consider the feasibility of developing artist housing under its affordable housing program. Although the Agency does not develop housing on its own, a private developer (for project or non profit) may be willing to work with the Agency to develop affordable housing and work space opportu- nities in the Village. If the Agency is able to identify a private developer who is willing to own and operate artist housing which provides work space, the Agency will work with the developer to facilitate completion of the project. In providing these live/ work opportunities for artists, the Agency will encourage the adaptive • reuse of existing commercial buildings in the Village which may also have local historical significance. The Redevelopment Agency will research and consider the feasibility of creating a cultural district within the Village Redevelopment Area. The Agency will also encourage and attempt to facilitate formation or development of an "Artist Park" or "Artist Plaza" to provide local artists with a place to create and display their art. These areas could be provided in the open or in storefront galleries/studios. The Agency will also continue to work with the City•a·Arts Department to create opportunities for short- term work, exhibit and public spaces for artists in the Village. The revieed Land Uee Plan for the Village Redevelopment Area allow• sidewalk vendors as a provisional use in several districts within the Village. The definition of sidewalk vendor includes street artists and atreet muaioiana. Thia will create one type of public space which can be uaed by artists in the Village. To assist in financing public art, the Redevelopment Agency shall require that 1, of the total construction cost of any publicly- funded project built within the Village be made available for a public art element within the given project or at a later date at an alternate location within the Village. The public art element will be approved by the process aet forth by the Carlsbad City Council. HISTORIC PRESERVATION The Redevelopment Agency shall work with the Historic Preservation Commission and/or Historical Society to facilitate the development of a walking tour of historic sites in the downtown area. The Agency will work with the Commission/Society to identify sources of funding which may be available for financing the costs of "identifier" or "historical landmark" signs as part of this program. The Agency will also consider incorporating a signage program related to cultural resources as part of the walking tour/signage program. Every effort will be made by the Redevelopment Agency to work with private property owners to preserve buildings and/or other historical landmarks within the Village Redevelopment Area as part of the downtown revitaliz.ation program. The Agency will encourage and facilitate the development of a proposed museum in the Village which will provide for the preservation of local historical artifacts. The Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency will research and consider the feasibility of creating a historic district within the Village Redevelopment Area to assist in the effort to preserve the history of Carlsbad and, more specifically, the Village. At a minimum, the Agency will prepare a "key" or "overlay map" which clearly identifies the historic buildings and other structures within the Village to increase the awareness of the historical significance of the area and various buildings and to coordinate efforts to redevelop sites or construct new projects in a "history sensitive" manner. The Agency will also encourage the preservation of the hispanic culture and history within the Barrio Carlsbad community of the Village Redevelopment Area. A Hispanic Culture Development Theme has been established for the area on Roosevelt Street between Carlsbad Village Drive and Walnut Avenue. Efforts will be made by the Redevelopment Agency to encourage land uses within the area which respect and enhance the hispanic culture and history within the area. l q-5 ECONOMIC RBSTllUCTURING One purpose of the Village Master Plan and Deaign Manual is to restructure the mix of uses in the Village over the long term to be more mutually supportive and to increase the area's economic vitality. The materials in this section of the Implementatin Strategy deal not with controls and programs but rather general strategies for change of a period of years. A "Business Retention and Recruitment Program" will be developed for the downtown area. The program will include 1) an indentification of special problems faced by small downtown businesses for discussion and possible resolution by the Redevelopment Agency and/or the Village Business Association; 2) identification of new businesses desired within the Village; 3) preparation of Village promotional materials; and, 4) establishment of outreach efforts to attract specific-businesses to occupy available spaces in the downtown. As appropriate and consistent with applicable policies, the Agency may provide financial assistance and/or incentive funding to desirable businesses and/or redevelopment projects to be constructed within the area. The Agency will research and pursue, if appropriate, establishment of a Buain••• Iaprov-•nt Diatrict (BID) to fund special projects within the Village Area. The funds provided through the BID could be used for l) promotion and marketing of the Village; 2) increased security and parking enforcement; 3) maintenance and enhancement of landscaping; 4) additional lighting and parking; 5) small business counseling services aa well as other projects/activities which may address the problem• of small downtown businesses. In addition to the above programs, with assistance from the Village Business Association, the Agency will pursue development of a "Business Directory and Community Building Identification Program". This program may include, but is not limited to: ,¢, ~ kiosk or business directory sign program which would be accessed by the customer to identify the location of businesses and/or community buildings within the Village Redevelopment Area. These kiosks could be placed at various locations, such as public parking lots, through- out the Village for directional purposes. This program could be similar to the business directory provided within a shopping mall or it could simply provide an opportunity for businesses to display information related to their business. A "Business Directo~y" which could be published for distribution to visitors and/or local residents for business identification and directional purposes. A Street Signage Program which would enchance existing signage to identify key landmarks within the Village and/or various community facilities. BUILDING IMPRQYEMENTS AD i■prov-■-D1; of tbe overall Village environ■ental and viaual i■age i• an i■portant part of tbe co■prehen■ive Na■ter Plan for revitalisation of the dOWDtown redevelopaent area. 'rhe Agency will develop, iapl-ent and fund a "Building Facade Iaprov-ent and Signage De■ign A••i■tance Prograa• to provide an incentive for bu■ine••••/propertr owner■ to co■plete ■oae facade iaproveaent■ for area beautification purpo■ea. Also, funding for de■ip a■■i■tance for new ■ignage will hopefully encourage bu■ine■••• to revi•• and update outdated ■ipage and to co■ply witb tbe new ■ign ■tandard■ for tbe Village Area. i ) ROLES AlfD USPONSIBILITIBS The Carlsbad Redevelopaeat Agency, with direction, support and guidance from the Housing and Redevelopnent Commission (City Council) and/or Design Review Board (Planning C0111111ission for the Village Redevelopment Area), will have the overall responsibility for initiating and coordinating implementa- tion activitiea. Fund• invested in the downtown area will be for the purpose of carrying out the Agency's rasponaibilities for planning and land uae regulation•, and for stimulating greater private investment which will provide benefit■ to the city aa a whole. The Agency will aleo be re■pon■ible for the deeign, award of construction contracts and supervision of con■truction of any public improvement• planned for the Village. Thi■ ■hall also mean that the Agency will serve in a liaiaon role between the City and other public agencies which may seek to complete improvement■ and/or projects within the boundaries of the Village Redevelopment Area. The primary role of the Agency shall be to serve as a catalyst to get activities ■tarted. Thi■ action muat be matched by private commit- ment■ to warrant the continued allocation of public staff reeourcea and funding. The Village Buaiaess Aaaociat:ion will be responsible for organizing its . membership in ■upport of downtown revitalization and promotional efforts for the downtown area. Such activities will include advertiaing and special event• as well as the diaaemination of important information and the represen- tation of downtown business interests before the Agency, City Boards and Commissions. The Village Property Ot#ners and Business owners shall be responsible for funding their fair share of physical improvements and/or projects which affect the value of their downtown prope~ties. In addition, they will be asked to carry out improvements to their property to enhance the downtown shopping environment and improve the area•• compe- titiveness relative to other regional shopping areas. The Village Residents will be responsible for supporting the implementation of downtown improvements and/or projects which have benefit to the area as a whole. The resident■ should also communicate with the community leaders to ensure that problems within the area are being adequately addresaed and to aid in the effort to create a Village t·hat is "a comfortable place ·to be" and offers a variety of opportunities. COIICLUSION To be successful, this entire Village Master Plan and Design Manual builds upon the· govern- mental leader•• commitment to the downtown,.the momentum for improvement established by the businesses, residents and property owners and the spirit of cooperation among all the various parties acting within the Village Redevelopment Area. Implementation of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual will be a shared private/public partnership with many contributing to its succe■■ and All benefitting from the redevelopnent and revitalization efforts. c,--,
