RE: KA'FANA COFFEE HOUSE
Dear Mrs. Gillespie:
Please accept my apologies for the delay in forwarding this information to you. Enclosed is a
copy of a summary of the new standards for outdoor eating areas. On private property, to be
exempt from the parking requirements and related sewer impact fees, the total number of seats
outside may not exceed the number inside the building. You indicated that you currently have 20
seats located indoors (at 5 tables). Therefore, you would be allowed to have a total of 20 seats
outside without a requirement for additional parking or fees. The standard is related to seat
counts, so the number of tables could actually vary as long as the total number of seats does not
exceed the standard. To maintain the existing 15 tables and 60 seats outside your coffee house,
we need to make a determination that you have adequate parking for your business.
The new parking requirement for coffee houses is 1 space for each 200 square feet of gross floor
space. You have an 800 square foot establishment. Therefore, your parking requirement for the
building is 4 spaces. Since you have 8 parking spaces total on site, according to our records, you
could park an additional 800 square feet of space outdoors for tables and chairs, in addition to
the space to be occupied outside by a total of 5 tables and 20 seats. Allowing for one table and 4
chairs, staff has assumed that this arrangement would take approximately 100 square feet of
space. Therefore, you could accommodate 8 tables and 32 seats within 800 square feet of space.
Based on this calculation, the standards would allow you to provide a total of 52 seats outside in
the patio area of your establishment. Therefore, to be in compliance with the new standards and
have no additional requirement for parking, you would be required to remove a total of 8 seats
from the outdoor area. You could, if you choose to do so, maintain the same number of tables
(15) and simply provide a fewer number of seats (52 rather than the current 60).
I hope you fmd this information to be helpful. The new outdoor seating standards actually allow
you to maintain most of your outdoor seating. I hope that the elimination of 8 seats will not
create a significant fmancial impact for you. If you have any questions regarding the above
information, please contact my office at 434-2935.
Sincerely,
JBIE FOUNTAIN

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
SUBJECT: RP 91-1/CDP 91-1 - KA^FANA
During the processing of this minor redevelopment permit request a
condition prohibiting outdoor seating was inadvertently left out of
Design Review Board Resolution No. 170. As discussed in the staff
report, dated July 3, 1991, the 800 square foot building requires
eight parking spaces to accomodate a restaurant use. Since only
eight spaces will exist on site, no parking is available to allow
outdoor service or seating. The addition of this explicit
condition is requested to aide in code enforcement as abuse of this
could take place.
The added condition is requested to read as follows:
"No outdoor seating or outdoor food service is allowed on the
site."

ISSUES OF CONCERN
No. RP 91-1/CDP 91-1
PLANNING:
1. Parking spaces shown are substandard. A minimum dimension of 8'6" x 20' is
required for all spaces. If spaces are expanded to standard size, the proposal
becomes underparked. The required ratio is one space per one hundred square feet
of gross floor area. Any outdoor seating area must be included in the gross floor
area. Please indicate if outdoor seating is proposed.
2. The proposed bathroom addition appears to be only 2'6" from the southem property
line. While no minimum setbacks are defined in the Village Design Manual, an area
wide enough for significant landscaping should be provided.
ENGINEERING:
1. Handicapped access from parking to restaurant travels up a 3:1 slope.
2. The proposed project shows improvements to the parking area along the west side
of Lincoln Street which are different than the approved City DWG's No. 291-2B
(sheet 26). The differences are in the number of stalls: Eight stalls were approved
while ten are proposed (five of he ten are substandard) and the proposed retaining
wall extends farther to the north.
The City and the owners of the property have already worked out and agreed to the
design ofthe "off-Lincoln Street parking" per DWG. No. 291-2B (sheet 26) totalling
eight spaces. These improvements are scheduled for constmction in the near future
and the City is not receptive to any proposed design changes to these approved plans.
REDEVELOPMENT:
1. Exterior signs for identification of the building must be approved by the Design
Review Board prior to their installation. Permitted exterior signs shall be those
necessary for public safety and for identification. Sign design should be simple,
direct and unobstmctive. The sign area and location must conform to the Village
Design Manual and Chapter 21.41 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.

TO: MIKE GRIM, PROJECT PLANNER
FROM: DEBBIE FOUNTAIN, REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT ANALYST
MINOR REDEVELOPMENT AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR TENANT
IMPROVEMENTS AND USE CHANGE AT 3076 CARLSBAD BOULEVARD
The following comments are provided in response to Mr. Jim
Gillespie's application for minor redevelopment and coastal
development permits for tenant improvements and use change at
3 076 Carlsbad Boulevard:
1. Per the Village Design Manual, the Design Review Board will
consider any proposed landscaping for the project because it
involves a remodel and/or intensification of use. Mr.
Gillespie should provide a detailed landscaping plan or
indicate that he does not plan to make any changes to the
existing landscaping. If Mr. Gillespie is not proposing any
changes to the landscaping, we do not need a landscaping
plan. However, we should probably review the current
landscaping and determine whether or not it adequately
complements the new streetscape. If it does not, we should
list the item as an "issue" to be resolved prior to the
public hearing.
2. In terms of the parking issue for the project, I met with
the Gillespies (tenant) and Inciyans (owner) and encouraged
them to submit a plan which expanded the existing restroom
(for handicap accessibility) to prevent the need for
additional parking. However, they felt that the addition of
a new restroom would be preferred by customers. Although we
realize parking is a serious issue, we would like to work
with Mr. Gillespie on this item.
We believe that the parking issue needs to be discussed
further. Therefore, we would like to have the parking listed
as an "issue" to be resolved prior to the public hearing.
3. Exterior signs for identification of the building must be
approved by Design Review Board prior to their installation.
Mr. Gillespie should provide design and specification
information for any new or replaced signs. Mr. Gillespie
should be made aware of this "issue."
Permitted exterior signs shall be those necessary for public
safety and for identification. Sign design should be simple,
direct and unobstructive. The sign area must be in scale
with the building.
The Housing and Redevelopment Department is supportive of Mr.
Gillespie's project because he will be locating his business in a
vacant building located in a prime view corridor. We do not like
have vacant buildings within the Redevelopment Area, especially
on Carlsbad Boulevard. Also, Mr. Gillespie's project will serve
the tourist community as well residents of Carlsbad. His project
will assist the city in increasing its sales tax revenue and is
very important to the Redevelopment Agency's economic development
efforts.
Mr. Gillespie is eager to establish his business at 3076 Carlsbad
Boulevard and the Housing and Redevelopment Department is willing
to assist him.
At this time, we do not have any additional comments on this
project. If you have any questions, please contact my office at
extension 2935.

RE: 3076 CARLSBAD BOULEVTOID, TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
APPLICATION FOR REDEVELOPMENT AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT
PERMITS
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie:
On February 11, 1991, the City of Carlsbad's Planning Department
received your application for a Minor Redevelopment Permit and a
Coastal Development Permit for a use change and tenant
improvements to the property located at 3076 Carlsbad Boulevard.
Your application has been forwarded to appropriate city
departments for review and comment. In an effort to provide you
with a better understanding of the steps taken by city staff to
process your application for the noted permits, the following
procedural outline is presented for your review:
STEP 1: Applicant provides information requested on application
obtained through Planning Department for requested
permit(s). The application is submitted to the Planning
Department with requested copies of the proposed site
plans and payment of required fee(s).
STEP 2: Application is accepted by the Planning Department and
is assigned to a project planner for review. The
project planner, project engineer and redevelopment
analyst determine whether the application is "complete"
or "incomplete" per the appropriate checklist (provided
with the application).
STEP 3: Within thirty (30) days of the date the application is
submitted for review, the project planner must prepare
and forward a letter to the applicant indicating
whether or not the application is "complete" and can be
processed further by staff.
STEP 4; If the application is "incomplete" according to the
project planner, the letter to the applicant will
indicate what action needs to be taken to obtain a
"complete" application determination. Upon receiving
notice that an application is "incomplete," the
applicant has six (6) months within which to take
appropriate action. If the applicant does not respond
within six (6) months, the application is automatically
withdrawn. No further action is taken by staff until a
response to the "incomplete" application is received
from the applicant.
When the application is "complete" according to the
project planner, reviev of the proposed project
continues. At this time, the planner requests comments
from all appropriate departments (i.e.. Utilities and
Maintenance, Fire, Building, etc.) and completes a
review of the environmental impact of the project.
During this review period, any issues raised by various
staff members will be discussed with the applicant. All
issues, raised by staff, must be addressed by the
applicant before staff will recommend approval of the
permit(s) to the Design Review Board.
STEP 5: After all necessary reports and recommendations have
been received for a "complete" permit application and
all issues have been resolved, the assigned planner
will prepare a project report for review by the Design
Review Board (DRB). The project report will include
staff's recommendations as to whether the permit should
be approved or denied. DRB will review the report and
application at a public hearing to be held no later
than six (6) months after the date the applicant
receives written notice that his/her application is
"complete." The assigned planner is responsible for
scheduling the public hearing for review of the project
by DRB.
Approximately one (1) week prior to the scheduled DRB
meeting, the applicant will receive a copy of the staff
project report.
No development, redevelopment, building or rebuilding
is permitted in the Redevelopment Area and/or Coastal
Zone until a redevelopment permit and/or coastal
development permit is issued by DRB or the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission.
STEP 6; If DRB does not approve the requested permits, the
applicant may appeal the decision to the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission. To appeal, the applicant must
file a written appeal with the City Clerk within ten
(10) days of the date of the decision. The Housing and
Redevelopment Commission will hold a public hearing on
any redevelopment and/or coastal development permit
which has been appealed or for which DRB has filed a
report with the City Clerk.
The above procedural outline relates to the processing of the
minor redevelopment permit and coastal development permit for
your proposed project. In addition to the above noted permits,
you will be required to obtain a building permit prior to
commencement of any demolition or construction on the property
located at 3076 Carlsbad Boulevard. To obtain a building permit,
you must file a separate application with the Building Division
of the City's Community Development Department located at 2075
Las Palmas Drive in Carlsbad. Building Division staff will review
the application and forward your plans for formal "plan check."
The plan check process will initially take at least three (3)
weeks. If the "plan checker" identifies problems with the plans,
they will be returned to you for additions or corrections. The
total processing time for plan check is dependent upon the number
of changes required by the plan checker and your response to
those changes. You may apply for your building permit. However,
the final building permit will not be issued until your
redevelopment and coastal development permits have been approved
by DRB. Any changes that will result from issue negotiation must
be reflected in your building permit submittal.
Also, prior to opening for business, you will need to obtain
"Certificate of Occupancy" approval from the Building Department
and a business license from the Finance Department.
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with an enhanced
understanding of the fairly time-consuming process for obtaining
required permits for development/redevelopment projects in the
Village Redevelopment/Coastal Zone area. It is my opinion that
you are not familiar with the process and, therefore, are not
clear as to the reasons why you do not yet have permission from
the City to begin your tenant improvements.
We realize that you are currently frustrated and concerned about
the time delays on your project. But, we cannot change the
process. Therefore, we must work together to ensure that the
process continues with as few unnecessary delays as possible.
Please note that your response time to comments from the City
and your willingness to resolve issues raised by staff are key
factors in the expeditious processing of your permits. I will
assist you by monitoring the project closely and you can assist
by returning requested information/corrections as quickly as
possible. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence
or your project, please contact my office at (619) 434-2935 or
(619) 434-2811.
