Re: Parking Requirements
The ISLAND @ carlsbad
Plan Check No. CB 99-15 (75,76,77 &78)
Dear Christer:
We recently received your latest plan check comments concerning parking for the referenced
project and feel that we are still not in agreement on the amount of parking actually required.
Early this year, we made a presentation to Mr. Gary Wayne outlining our development intentions
for the site. Several issues were discussed including parking. We were told parking requirements
would be addressed in the preliminary review process.
On February 4, 1999 a preliminary review was conducted. We received comments a few days
later (a copy is included as a reference). Item # 2 of the review comments allows us to use the
ratio of one space for 200 sf of “retaiVrestaurant/food courthank portion of the property”. The
ofice portion is not included in that listing and has always been planned to be in compliance with
City and CRC standards at the ratio of one space for 250 sf. We feel strongly that this
interpretation is what was intended and is appropriate for this project at this location. The
parking requirements should be:
Retail 19,547 @ 200 = 98
Restaurant 6,053 @ 200 = 30
Food Court 6,172 @ 200 = 3 1
Ofice 12,886 @ 250 = 52
21 1 spaces

By allowing the City standards for ofice parking, we afford the project the most options for
leasing to tenants who will best serve the Research Center. As an example, the increased parking
required for medical or dental ofices could then be appropriately accommodated.
These parking assumptions are founded on City requirements and have never been discussed at
any time prior to your plan check comments as being inappropriate.
We request that. the parking ratio of one space for 250 sf of office space be allowed for this
project. We are happy to discuss this issue further and request that a prompt response be
provided so that we can complete our permitting process.
Cordially,
JAMES SCHMIDT ARCHITECTURE
