STAFF REPORT
RE: EXTENSION OF CUP-234 -WOOLWORTH'S
I. RECOMMENDATION
(i)
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2779 APPROVING the extension
of CUP-234 based on the findings and subject to the conditions therein.
II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On September 14, 1983 the Planning Commission approved CUP-234, to allow a 2000
square foot. Video Arcade (Fun Center) within the lower level of Plaza Camino
Real. Per Condition #4 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2167, CUP-234 was
approved for a maximum five year period, until September 14, 1988. Extension
of the CUP may however be granted by the Planning Commission for a period of up
to five years, provided that 1) a written request is submitted from the project
applicant, and 2) no substantial adverse affect on surrounding land uses or the
public's hea 1th and welfare wi 11 result because of the continuation of the
permitted use.
In accordance with this condition, the project applicant has submitted a written
request to extend CUP-234. Planning Staff has spoken with Carlsbad Police
Departments' Business Liaison Officer and the Management at Plaza Camino Real
with regard to whether the Fun Center has been a compatible use within Plaza
Camino Real. Although the Fun Centers juvenile arcade patrons have created
nuisance problems for the shopping public and adjacent retail uses within the
past, the Business Liaison Officer and the Management of Plaza Camino Real have
indicated that since the Fun Center has been under ~ew management (for over one
year) no nuisances to the shopping public or to surrounding mall business have
occurred. In accordance, both the Police Department and the Management of Plaza
Camino real support the extension of CUP-234.
Based upon this information from the Business Liaison Officer and Management of
Plaza Camino Real, which indicates that the Fun Center has not had a significant
adverse impact on surrounding uses and on the public's health and welfare, Staff
recommends that CUP-234 be extended for a period of up to five years. Staff

feels comfortable in making this recommendation in view of the fact that the CUP
for this use may be revoked by the Planning Commission at any time if it is
found that the use has a significant detrimental affect on surrounding uses and
the public's health and welfare, per condition #4 of Resolution No. 2176,
approving the original CUP.
