Dear Ms. McClelland, The City Planner has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Review Permit RP 15- 18 to allow for the change in use of a portion of an existing building from an office space to a fitness gym at 3138 Roosevelt Street. A notice was sent to property owners within a 300' radius of a subject property requesting comments regarding the above request. No comments were received within the ten (10) day notice period (ending on October 8, 2015). It is the City Planner's determination that the project, RP 15-18-Fit Monkeys, is consistent with the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual and with all other applicable city ordinances and policies. Therefore, the City Planner APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions: 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 gym use provides a resident serving use, 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 existing multi-tenant building provides as many parking spaces on-site to the extent feasible as per the parking program of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual and there are no anticipated impacts to the surrounding commercial and residential uses. 3. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000. 4. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301-Existing Facilities of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
