RE: RP 13-12-REALBLUE PROPERTIES

The City has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Review Permit RP 13-12 to
allow a vacant commercial space to be used as office space located at 2956 Roosevelt Street, in District
1 ot' the Village Review (V-R) Zone, and in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. A notice was sent to
property owners within a 300' radius of the subject property requesting comments regarding the above
request. No comments were received within the ten day notice period (ending on October 2, 2013).
It is the City Planner's determination that the project, RP 13-12-Realblue Properties, is consistent with
the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual and with all other applicable City ordinances and
policies. The City Planner, there APPROVES this request based on the following:
Findings:
1. The City Planner has determined that the project is consistent with the policies, goals and action
programs set forth within the Carlsbad General Plan in that the office use provides
employment opportunities and complements the existing commercial and residential uses in
the pedestrian-oriented downtown Village.
2. The City Planner has determined that the project is consistent with Chapter 21.35 (Village
Review Zone) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and all applicable development standards and
land use policies set forth within the Village Master Plan and Design Manual in that the office
use will not break up retail continuity on Roosevelt Street. The proposed office space is
located between two public parking lots and there is no existing retail elsewhere located on
this block of Roosevelt Street. There are no anticipated impacts to the nearby residents as a
result of the office use locating in the proposed space. No additional parking is required for
the change to an office use.
3. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000.
4. That the City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per section 15303 Class 3 of the State CEQA
Guidelines as the project involves the conversion of an existing small structure from one use to
another where only minor modifications are made to the structure and will not have any
adverse significant impacts on the environment.
