The Planning and Engineering Departments have conditionally approved your request subject to the following: 1. Please submit a written letter of permission from the owner of the property where the modular sales building is proposed to be located. 2. You must obtain required permits from the building department for utility connections to, and placement of the modular sales building prior to bringing the building onto the property. 3. Pursuant to Section 21.53.090 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code the modular sales building is only to be used for the purpose of selling lots in the subdivision and can remain for only one year from the date of recordation of the final map for the subdivision unless extended by the Planning Commission on a yearly basis, for good cause. Should you have any questions concerning the above conditions of approval please contact me at (760) 602-4612.

Dear Mr. Neu: Pursuant to the above Policy, Pacific Scene Homes respectfully requests approval for the use of a Temporary Modular Building as a "Sales Office" for The Magnolia Gardens and Magnolia Gardens II residential subdivision. The use of the Temporary Building would commence following the date of approval by the City of Carlsbad and recordation of the Map and would run for a period not to exceed one year. There are no permanent buildings on site to accommodate this need and we are currently proposing to build all units as one or maybe two phases. The building will be 12' by 32' with double French doors (see pictures). A finished skirt, painted to match the sides will be installed and a handicap accessible ramp will be installed as shown on the site plan. Additionally we will provide a wheelchair accessible portable toilet as well as reserve the closest parking stall and/or space (both in the temporary area and again on the street in front of the trailer) for handicapped parking. I have enclosed a site plan for your review as well as signed permission to locate the proposed Sales Office adjacent to the new Brady Circle. The location as proposed would help avoid placing additional parked cars on Magnolia Ave. We will provide a temporary concrete walkway to the ramp that will be removed upon removal of the trailer. During construction we have room to provide parking with the use of an open area next to the trailer and once the road has been completed there will be ample parking on the new street (Brady Circle.) The temporary parking and using the street after completion will not effect any existing homeowners because there are no existing or proposed homes on that side of the street. 2505 Congress Street, Suite 200 / San Diego, California 92110 / telephone 619-299-5112 / fax 619-299-1876 PACIFIC SCENE HOMES Loma Verde, Inc.

CITY OF CARLSBAD POLICIES AND PROCEDURE p-— — =— NUMBER: EFFECTIVE: SUPERSEDES: 7 August 1, 1996 N/A SUBJECT POLICY FOR INTERPRETATION OF CMC 21.42.010(8), 21.53.090 AND 21.53.110 SECTION: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PURPOSE To clarify and interpret Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections which deal with temporary modular buildings. This policy also sets forth approval guidelines for streamlining the expanded allowance of temporary modular buildings in the business park and for uses associated with the sale of lots and/or units in residential subdivisions. BACKGROUND • The Carlsbad Municipal Code currently only allows temporary modular buildings under three circumstances: A. 21.42.010(8) CMC - Interim use of trailers or mobilehomes for commercial offices which have been approved for permanent construction. B. 21.53.090 CMC - Temporary real estate offices for selling lots in new subdivisions; and C. 21.53.110 CMC - Temporary structures for tools, equipment, or construction offices while permanent construction is underway. Manufacturing type businesses have recently requested the permission to utilize these types of buildings for limited periods of time for other purposes, such as temporary training facilities and temporary business use while permanent facilities are remodeled. Real Estate developers have requested modular sales offices in planned developments that have model homes. These requests appear consistent with the intent of the Code, but are not hi compliance with the precise wording of the Code. This policy acts as an interpretation of the Code and serves as an interim step in developing procedures and permits that will streamline the approval process. It is not the intent of this policy to allow an expansion of temporary modular buildings as sales facilities in commercial zones or to substitute temporary modular buildings for permanent buildings. jiitiated By:ApproyedfBy:^ /' CITY OF CARLSBAD POLICIES AND PROCEDURFS f= NUMBER: 7 EFFECTIVE: SUPERSEDES: August 1, 1996 N/A SUBJECT: POLICY FOR INTERPRETATION OF CMC 21.42.010(8), 21.53.090, AND 21.53.110 SECTION: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INTERPRETATIONS 1. 21.53.090 CMC allows temporary real estate sales offices without a discretionary permit for the purpose of selling lots in that subdivision. The temporary offices can remain for only one year, unless extended by the Planning Commission on a yearly basis, for good cause. It shall be the policy of Community Development to apply this section to all subdivisions, including planned developments and subdivisions that include models. 2. 21.53.110 CMC allows temporary structures for housing tools and equipment, or containing supervisory offices in connection with major construction, (expanded interpretation-see below) 3. 21.42.010(5)(S) CMC with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, allows temporary trailers or mobile homes for commercial offices. The purpose of this section is to allow the temporary offices in anticipation and during the construction of the permanent facilities, (no change in interpretation) Currently the code is silent on temporary structures in connection with remodels or as a single time training facility. It is clear that remodels, tenant improvements, and large scale employee training efforts can be very disruptive to existing businesses and the City desires to assist in the mitigation of such disturbances. One way to provide mitigation is to allow temporary facilities on-site for training or for offices during remodel and tenant improvements. It shall be the policy of Community Development to administratively allow temporary facilities pursuant to the procedures established below for training where on-site accommodation is unfeasible, for offices during remodel and/or tenant improvements, and for other unique circumstances as determined to be consistent with this interpretation. .nitiated By:Approved By: CITY OF CARLSBAD POLICIES AND PROCEDU^S r NUMBER: 7 EFFECTIVE: SUPERSEDES: August 1, 1996 N/A SUBJECT: POLICY FOR INTERPRETATION OF CMC 21.42.010(8), 21.53.090, AND 21.53.110 SECTION: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE 1.
