MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 22, 1983
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
FROM: Redevelopment Office
SUBJ: RP 82-12- (ROYCE) Application to remodel a 2400 square foot
office building with an UOO square foot addition at 655 Laguna
Drive in sub-area 6 of the V-R Zone (VFW Building)
This application was approved by the Design Review Board on January 12, 1983. A
new architect was subsequently retained to revise the plan to comply with all State
codes for health facilities, (see attached letter) The revision calls for an addition
of 1545 square feet (original called for 1134 square feet). The new parking has been
been reviewed by the City Engineering staff and approved. The Architecture is significantly
different and submitted for your review.
Since the use is the same and the applicant is anxious to construct, this is being
returned to the Design Review Board as a revision of the original Redevelopment Permit.
Staff finds the proposed remodeling is in accordance with the goals of sub-area 6 of
the Village Redevelopment Area, that the use is in conformance with City standards and
as a result, staff is recommending approval of this revision to Redevelopment Permit
82-12.

RE: Revision to Existing Application for Redevelopment Permit for a Medical
Office Building located 655 Laguna Drive, Carlsbad, California in Sub-Area
6 of V-R Zone. (Application # RP 82-12-Royce).
Dear Mr. Salomone,
I am writing this letter as a formal request to present our case to the Design
Review Board at their next meeting to gain approval of revision to the existing
Application for Redevelopment Permit.
The reason, for this request-is based on a premature submittal to the city by the
initial Architectural firm. The firm was not acquainted with a state code which
regulates the requirements for health facilities:
State of California
California Administrative Code
Title 24 Building Standards
Part 6 Special Building Regulations
(Division T17 - State Department of Health)
Any clinic which performs outpatient surgery (minor surgery) must conform to the
requirements of this code, in order to qualify for state licensure or certification
by the State of California and the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory
Health Care (AAAHC) . WitJiout the approval of these agencies, the insurance
carriers will not reimburse the clinics for work performed.
The crux of our problem is that we are required by the State Code to have the
following spaces with the sizes shown below:
1. Minor Operating Room (15'x 18') = 270 S.F. minimum
2. Sterilizing Room and Storage
3. Scrub-up Room
4. Clean-up Room
5. Janitor's Closet (3'x5')
6. Toilet (6.5'x6.5')
7. Nurses' Station

Our office attempted to work the required spaces into the total space as orginally
requested (3,534 S.F.) with 18 parking spaces - we could not make it all fit.
We had to increase the allowable area to 4,000 S.F.which entailed adding (2) more
parking spaces bringing the total parking to 20 cars.
Other changes which this office and the Doctor felt were in order:
1. Elimination of the space under the arcade originally designed
there, thus enabling handicapped and patients to walk in a
protected atmosphere separated from the cars.
2. Created a secure, safe access to the rear portion of the roof to
maintain the air-conditioning equipment and filters redily.
We also will install some decking for the staff to enjoy breaks
and lunch by viewing the ocean while relaxing. We also added
a patio for the staff to enjoy.
3. This office has made every attempt to change the existing building
into a handsome "silk purse" out of a "sow's ear" and to integrate
new and old in the best fashion possible. The building should be
credit to the neighborhood.
4. The originally proposed landscape area will not be materially
reduced. We will screen the parking close to the street with
shrubs. We intend to have a beautifully landscaped site.
We will adhere to the conditions set forth in your Resolution //OOS.
One of our major concerns is much time had been lost during the initial phase of
the project, as a result, we have had to continue on with the Working Documents
to submit to the State Health Planning Department for approval. If we can achieve
approval of these changes as a revision to the existing resolution, we will be
intensely grateful.
I would like to emphasize a point. These outpatient surgery facilities save
medical costs to patients and insurers up to 50% of in-patient costs in hospitals.
This is the quickest method of reducing medical costs in our country.
Sincerely yours,
y
