SUBJECT: CD 2024-0022 (DEV2023-0146} -KIOSK REPLACEMENT AT CARLSBAD PREMIUM
OUTLETS (CARLSBAD COMPANY STORES PUSHCART PROGRAM}
Dear Terri Mannes,
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination, CD 2024-
0022, which is a modification to Site Development Plan (SOP) 96-03(A) and Coastal Development Permit
(CDP) 00-20, to replace a pushcart with a kiosk at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets shopping center. The
request proposes to replace one of thirteen commercial pushcarts with a commercial kiosk located in the
interior of the shopping center. The shopping center consists of a 26.62-acre site located east of Paseo
del Norte, south of Car Country Drive, within the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan (SP 207), in the C-2 (General
Commercial) Zone with a Q (Qualified Development) Zone Overlay, in the Mello II Segment of the Coastal
Zone, and in Local Facilities Management Zone 13.
After careful consideration of the request, the City Planner has determined that the request meets all of
the findings below and APPROVES this request. The proposed modifications include:
• A new 10-feet wide by 10-feet long kiosk at 5620 Paseo del Norte in the interior of the
Carlsbad Premium Outlets shopping center.
• The kiosk will replace a 5 ½-feet wide and 10 ½-feet long pushcart.
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following findings
must be made:
1) No project condition, feature, facility, or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety, or function in that the pushcart grogram is a
complementary use to The Carlsbad Premium Outlets shopping center and is consistent with
Site Development Plan (SDP} 96-03(A) and Coastal Development Permit (CDP} 00-20. The
proposal to replace a pushcart with a kiosk preserves the shopping center's design, quality, and
function.

2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon
the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood in that the Mediterranean
architecture of the kiosk improves upon the design of the pushcart and is compatible with the
architecture of the Carlsbad Premium Outlets shopping center.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property.
4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit in that the project entails a kiosk replacing a pushcart for a commercial tenant of the
Carlsbad Premium Outlets shopping center.
5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development.
6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code in that a small change in total shopping center building area is proposed
representing a less than ten percent change in the existing number of parking spaces and total
building coverage of the shopping center. Adequate parking is provided to accommodate the
kiosk replacing a pushcart.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation in that the proposed improvements do not create any inconsistencies or
new impacts relative to the environmental review process associated with the original project's
approval.
8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety, or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would
be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10) The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved in that the overall character of the
center is unchanged from Site Development Plan (SDP) 96-03(A) and Coastal Development
Permit (CDP) 00-20.
Therefore, the City Planner has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination
with the approved permit and approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.
