B Carisbad, CA 92008 Re: Roosevelt Center Dear Lori, The Carisbad Dance Centre has operated successfully in the "Village of Carisbad" for over 15 years. As the new owners of Carisbad Dance Centre, it is our desire to remain a vital part of the daily commerce that supports the Village area and the Roosevelt Center, it's our goal to see the studb continue to thrive in its current location for years to come. As good business owners, we must realize opportunities for growth and/or improvement whenever possible. We also recognize the importance of being a good neighbor to the surrounding community. We are seeking your approval for a small expansion into the empty space across the hallway from our current location. We are aware of your concems with respect to the paridng situatbn and would ask that while you consider your decision, you keep the following facts in mind. In add'itk^n, we want to "Thank you" for your time and understanding with this matter. • The studio operates mainly in the late aftemoon (3:30pm) and evening, and on Saturdays. Our busy times are predominately when the other businesses are ending their day or dosed. • Our customers (avg. age 18 months to 15 years) don't drive. They are dropped off and pbked up at the end of their dasses. • The parents for the most part do not stay, in fact we discourage it, as it can inhibK or distract their chiki. Many parents leave their child in our care while they mn errands, shop or dine in the Village area. • Adult dasses are held only 2 nights a week and only after 7:30pm. • When the studb is mnning at full capacity, we would have a maximum of 3-5 staff members paridng their cars. (With the requested expansion) • We wouid gain 4 paridng spaces in the alley, which were assigned to the previous tenant. These new spaces wouki allow us to paric up to six people behind the studio. Sincerely, Ron & Jana Romaine Carisbad Dance Centre / Owners Citv of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department June 10, 2003 RON & JANA ROMAINE CARLSBAD DANCE CENTRE 3345 TOURNAMENT DR OCEANSIDE, CA 92056 Re: Carlsbad Dance Centre Expansion - 2800-2820 Roosevelt Street Dear Ron & Jana: The Housing and Redevelopment has completed the initial review of your request for an Administrative Redevelopment Permit to expand your existing dance center at the Roosevelt Center located at 2800-2820 Roosevelt Street. Based on your request, you would like to expand the existing 4,162 square foot dance center by 1,428 square feet by occupying the adjacent vacant office space. Unfortunately, the existing dance center is considered a nonconforming use and the Village Redevelopment Master Plan prohibits the expansion of nonconforming uses. The use is nonconforming for the sole reason that it does not meet the current parking requirements for a dance studio. When we conducted the parking counts for Quality Care Medical Center our research indicated the dance center was originally approved for 944 square feet with a parking requirement at that time of one parking space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area. Since the dance center was originally approved, it has grown to 4,162 square feet and the parking requirement is now one parking space for every 35 square feet of gross floor area. We have no records indicating how or when the dance center expanded. However, the Housing and Redevelopment Department has accepted the fact that it is now 4,162 square feet. The use is permitted to remain at its current size; however, because the parking for this use in combination with the parking for all other uses cannot be accommodated on-site the use is considered nonconforming, which precludes its expansion. Since we will not be able to process your administrative redevelopment permit we believe it only fair to refund your $290 filing fee. In order to process this request through our Finance Department I need a written request from you for the refund. I am sorry we were unable to assist you with your expansion efforts. I wish you much success with your existing business. If you have any questions and/or comments regarding this correspondence, please contact my office at (760) 434-2813. LORI H.
