The DRB approved the minor redevelopment permit for the Alvarez Flower Stand last Wednesday (August 16, 1995). Mr. Silvino's attorney, Richard Macgurn, indicated that ihe 300 sq.ft. patio/overhang will be removed in order to comply with building codes. So, the stand will be reduced to the 120 square foot building. Staff had recommended that if the building is reduced to 120 sq.ft that a 2 year limit be placed on the permit. Mr. Macgurn did not like this and asked for DRB to grant a timeframe of 5 years or until the property is sold. The DRB agreed with him and granted his request.

I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Design Review Board APPROVE Resolution No. 232 approving a Minor Redevelopment Permit to allow a flower stand for a limited period of time at 2815 Jefferson Street in the Village Redevelopment Area. n. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant, Mr. Silvino Alvarez, through his attomey Mr. Richard MacGum, submitted a request for a minor redevelopment permit to allow the installation and operation of a flower stand on the property located at 2815 Jefferson Stt-eet in the Village Redevelopment Area. The application was submitted as the result of a violation notice for the presence of the unpermitted flower stand. Staff has been working with the applicant and his attomey since the date of the violation notice (12/27/93) to submit the documents necessary to request a minor redevelopment permit to allow the continued use of the flower stand. The flower stand represents a retail use within Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area. Retail shops are permitted by right within Subarea 1 as long as they receive the appropriate permits and licenses for operation purposes. The building strucmre proposed for the flower stand includes the building (120 sq.ft) and a patio area with an overhang (300 sq.ft.); the total building stmcture size is 420 square feet. Building permits are required for any building stmcture over 120 square feet in size. A minor redevelopment permit is required to approve the land use (retail) and the stmcture installed/constmcted on the site. When the formal application for the subject project was received and deemed complete for continued processing, staff indicated to the applicant and his attomey that the flower stand use was not considered by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency to be the highest and best use for the property and could not be supported by staff as a long term use for the property. Additionally, staff expressed the opinion that the design of the flower stand structure was not RP 94-04 August 16, 1995 Page 2 consistent with Village standards for a permanent stmcmre on the site. However, since the property owner is currently in the process of trying to sell the subject property and it is assumed that the flower stand continues to represent only a temporary use of the property, staff outlined two options which could be supported for continued operation of the flower stand on the subject site. The two options are as follows: 1. If the applicant is able to obtain the required building permits for the building stmcmre currently on the site at 420 square feet and makes the necessary improvements to comply with the building code, staff will recommend a maximum five (5) year period for operation of the flower stand. This recommendation recognizes the fact that to bring the stmcture into compliance with the existing building codes, the applicant will be required to complete substantial improvements to the building stmcture which could be quite costly. Therefore, if the property owner allows the applicant to operate the flower stand on the subject property for five (5) years, the Redevelopment Agency is willing to allow the continued operation of the flower stand for five (5) years as well. 2. If the applicant is not able to obtain the required building permits for the 420 square foot building stmcture as proposed, the building stmcture size must be reduced to 120 square feet with no overhang stmcmre. Under this option, it is staffs opinion that the period of permitted time for operation of the flower stand should be reduced to no more than two (2) years. Since the applicant has already been allowed to operate for over a year without the appropriate permits, staff originally indicated to the applicant that only one (1) additional year of operation could be supported by staff. However, after further consideration, staff feels that a two (2) year period of time can be supported for continued operation of the flower stand with a building stmcmre which does not exceed 120 square feet in size. ffl. vn .T .AnE DESIGN MANUAL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CONSISTENCY As mentioned above, the proposed retail use is consistent with the Village Design Manual and Redevelopment Plan for the Village Redevelopment Area. The proposed site for the flower retail stand is located within Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area. The uses allowed in this area are the same as those allowed within the C-1, C-2 and R-P zones as indicated in the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The uses permitted by right include retail shops. The property is located outside the Coastal Zone. RP 94-04 August 16, 1995 Page 3 IV. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the various elements of the General Plan. One of the goals of the City for the Village Redevelopment Area is to create a distinct identity for the Village by encouraging activities that traditionally locate in a pedestrian- oriented downtown area, including offices, restaurants and specialty retail shops such as flower stands. Although staff does not believe that the proposed flower stand is the highest and best use for the subject property on a long term or pennanent basis, the temporary use (no longer than five years) of the site for the flower stand is consistent with the objective of creating a sense of community within the Village and is an allowed use for the site. The proposed project meets the goals and objectives of the Carlsbad General Plan, as outlined for the Village Redevelopment Area. V. PARKING ANALYSIS AND ZONING ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE The flower stand has a total parking requirement of two (2) spaces. The applicant will be able to provide for two (2) parking spaces on-site as required. In addition to meeting the zoning standards for parking, the proposed project meets all other standards outlined with the Zoning Ordinance. VI. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Department has conducted an environmental review of the above described project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said review, the Planning Department has made a detennination that the flower stand qualifies as an exempt project under Secdon 15303(c) of the CEQA regulations. vn. CONCLUSION As stated previously, staff does not believe that the proposed flower stand is the highest and best use for the subject property on a long term basis. However, the flower stand does provide for a use which is allowed in Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Area. Therefore, staff is able to support this project and recommends that the flower stand be allowed with a limit on the maximum period of time for operation. Staff recommends that the Design Review Board take action to approve the minor redevelopment permit related to this project and subject to the conditions contained therein.

NO. 232 Page 2 2 " 3 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Design ^ Review Board as follows: 1. That the foregoing recitations are tme and correct. 2. That based on the evidence presented at the public meeting, the 7 Design Review Board hereby APPROVES Minor Redevelopment Permit, RP 94-04, based on the following ® fmdings and subject to the following conditions: FINDINGS: 9 10 .. That the Planning Dkector has determined that the project is exempt 11 from the requirements of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303 of the state CEQA Guidelmes and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment. 13 The Project qualifies as a Minor Redevelopment Permit under Chapter 14 21.35 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code because the project involves a stmcmral change which costs less than $50,000. 15 .Jg 3. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the various elements of the General Plan because it assists in the effort to create a 17 distinct identity for the Village Redevelopment Area by encouraging activities that traditionally locate in a pedestrian-oriented downtown 18 area, including offices, restaurants and specialty retail shops. 19 4. The project is consistent with the City-wide Facilities and 20 Improvements Plan, the applicable local facilities management plan, and all City public facility policies and ordinances since: 21 a) The project has been conditioned to ensure that, if sewer service 22 is required for the subject project, the necessary building 22 permits will not be issued, or building official approval shall not be granted, for the flower stand project unless the District 24 Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains 25 available, and the District Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for 2j this project. 28 DRB Resolution No. 232 Page 3 2 b) All necessary public improvements have been provided or are 3 required as a condition of approval. 5 9 This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1. ^ c) The Developer has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee will enable this body to g fmd that public facilities will be available concurrent with need as required by the General Plan. 7 5. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility ® fee, or new constmction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by the Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad 10 Municipal Code. This will ensure contmued availability of public facilities. 11 " 12 13 The project is consistent with the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment 14 Plan and the Village Design Manual because it will continue to provide for a temporary use which is an encouraged use and is permitted by ^5 right within Subarea 1 of the Village Redevelopment Project Area, if it has received all applicable permits and licenses. ID 17 8. The project is in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code as demonstrated by the processing of the 18 appropriate discretionary permits, maintenance of compatibility with surrounding land uses, and the provision of adequate parking and landscapmg. 20 The Design Review Board has reviewed each of the exactions imposed 21 on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby fmds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or 22 * reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project. 24 CONDITIONS: 25 1.

Include any details necessary to adequately explain the scope arc/or operation of the proposed project. You may also include any background information and supporting statements regarding the reasons for. or appropriateness of, the application. Use an addendum sheet if necessary. Description/Explanation. The 2815 Jefferson Street site is a previously developed residential site, now levelled and undeveloped, located one-half block north of Grand Avenue and one block east of Madison within the Carlsbad Redevelopment Area. The site has been listed for sale with CB Commercial Realtors. With the support of the owners and the realtor, the proposed project provides an interim use for the lot while it lays vacant prior to sale. Mr. Alvarez proposes to produce and sell flowers at the site on a small scale. His presence will provide the community with the aesthetic amenity of the site's gardens and with quality, reasonably priced, locally produced cut flowers, while deterring the vagrancy and vandalism commonly associated with vacant property. The proposed use is ideal for the Jefferson location. The flower stand and gardens are oriented to pedestrian traffic, yet are easily accessible to vehicular traffic. Ninety seven percent of the project is devoted to open space, providing a "green belt" in the developed neighborhood, and adding to the semi-rural feel associated with the "Village" theme of Carlsbad's Redevelopment Project.
