While the Carisbad Village Redeveiopment Master Plan & Design Manual does not presently address this issue, the Housing & Redevelopment Director agreed to allow outdoor displays on private property on an interim basis, upon issuance of an outdoor display permit, until such time as permanent regulations are adopted by the Housing & Redevelopment Commission. You currently have an approved outdoor display permit for your business based on the standards for outdoor displays on public property and since your outdoor display is on private property you have expressed an interest in expanding the outdoor display area to be consistent with the interim standards (i.e. 10% of gross floor area) for private property. After discussing your needs with you, we have prepared a new site plan, which will amend your existing outdoor display permit to expand the outdoor display area on the private property in front of your business. This letter will serve as approval for your request to expand your outdoor display on private property to no more than 10% of your interior gross floor area. Please note, this approval allows an outdoor display as described and depicted on the corresponding site plan. This approval allows you to retain your outdoor display for; 1) as long as the Housing and Redevelopment Commission allows outdoor displays to remain, 2) as long as the outdoor display continues to meet the standards outlined within the attached Outdoor Business Display - Location and Development Criteria, and 3) as long as the outdoor display is consistent with this approval. A Certificate of Insurance is not required as long as the outdoor display remains on private property. Most importantiy. vour outdoor displav must be placed within the area as shown on the attached site plan in order to meet the Citv's reauirements for outdoor displavs. Thank you for your cooperation in acquiring the approval. If you have any questions regarding the information contained in this letter, please call me at (760) 434-2812. Sincerely, CITY OF CARLSBAD LIINDA HOLMES ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Attachment 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste.

The purpose of this letter is to let you know that if your application has been approved or if it is still in process, you may amend the application to take advantage of the new standards that were proposed in the latest letter. They were as follows: 1. The existing outdoor display area shall not exceed 10% of the gross floor area of the business located within the interior of the building. For example, if you have an interior business space of 1000 square feet, you would be allowed no more than 100 square feet of outdoor display space. Any additional display area above 10% requires approval of a redevelopment permit as an expansion of your business. 2. You must submit an application for a temporary outdoor display permit to the Housing and Redevelopment Office within thirty (30) business days of receipt of this letter. With the exception for the size requirements of the display, the display must meet all of the other standards set forth within the attached policy. 3. You may not expand your business display at any time beyond that which is approved by our office in response to your application. 4. The current display area will be permitted on a temporarv basis until the Village Master Plan and Design Manual is revised to include regulations specific to the displays. At the time the regulations are revised, the temporary permit will expire and you will be required to obtain a new permit and bring your display into compliance with the new regulations if it does not comply at that time. This temporary approval shall apply to outdoor business displays only. It does not apply to any existing signs. Any freestanding signs on your property must comply with the standards currently set forth within Village Master Plan and Design 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (760) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (760) 720-2037 Manual. No changes are proposed to the existing regulations for freestanding signs on private or public property (i.e., A-Frame signs). Therefore, businesses must continue to comply and obtain the applicable sign permit for these signs. If you want to amend your existing application or approved permit, you must inform this office within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter. Please note that Code Enforcement efforts will be continuing in the Village. Therefore, I encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible if you desire a change to your existing application or permit. If you have any questions or need assistance with your application, please contact Linda Holmes of the Housing and Redevelopment Office at (760) 434-2812. Thank you in advance for your voluntary compliance and prompt attention to this matter.

To obtain a permit for the Outdoor Display, you must submit an application along with the appropriate application fee to Redevelopment staff at 2965 Roosevelt Street Suite B, Carlsbad, CA 92008.

An application for an Outdoor Display has been enclosed for your use. The appUcation includes "Location and Development Criteria", which further explains the regulations pertaining to Outdoor Display.
