Mr. MacGum was forwarded a copy of the draft report on July 31, 1995. He was asked to call if he had any questions or conmients. I have not been contacted by Mr. MacGum to date. It is assumed that the project conditions were acceptable. Therefore, the report was finalized and distributed with the agenda for the August 16, 1995 Design Review Board meeting. City of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department July 31, 1995 MR. RICHARD MACGURN 1015 CHESTNUT AVENUE SUTTEES CARLSBAD, CA. 92008 RE: 2815 JEFFERSON STREET, CARLSBAD, CA. REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 94^ Dear Mr. MacGum: Enclosed please fmd a copy of the report which has been prepared in regard to the Alvarez Flower Stand located at 2815 Jefferson Street. Due to die fact that the Design Review Board meeting of August 2, 1995 had to be cancelled, the Design Review Board will review and take action on the permit for Mr. Alvarez's flower stand on August 16, 1995 at 5:00pm in the City Council Chambers located at 1200 Carisbad Village Drive.

Enclosed herewith please find six blueline copies of the revised plans for the Alvarez Flowerstand. As you can see from the plans, Mr. Alvarez desires to maintain the flowerstand with its present dimensions. You have indicated that you believe the stand will require a building permit because the "building" includes the square footage that is not enclosed, but rather is covered by shade screen material. It is my understanding that you will condition your recommendation of approval for the project with the requirement that Mr. Alvarez comply with the building code. I will contact Mr. Kelly and discuss with him the requirements of the building code as it relates to this flowerstand. Thank you for your continued courjtesy and cooperation.

MACGURN 1015 CHESTNUT AVENUE, SUITE E3 CARLSBAD, CA. 92008 RE: RP 94-04 ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND, 2815 JEFFERSON Dear Mr. Macgum: Thank you for your letter of May 18, 1995 regarding Mr. Silvino Alvarez's written waiver of the time limit for a hearing before the Design Review Board on the subject application for a minor redevelopment permit (94-04). Mr. Silvino's request for a thirty (30) day extension of the Design Review Board hearing has been granted by the Housing and Redevelopment Department. However, due to scheduling conflicts with other items to be heard by the Design Review Board, the hearing on the flower stand application will not be held until July 19, 1995. As I requested previously, I still need to have the revised plans for the flower stand in my office by the end of May, 1995. Since I recently leamed that Mr. Silvino is unable to read and/or understand letters regarding this matter written in English or Spanish, all written conespondence will now be forwarded directiy to your attention as representative of the applicant. It is my assumption that you will consult directly with your client, Mr. Alvarez, on all matters related to the subject application. If at any tune, you discontinue as Mr. Silvino's representative on the subject application, please forward written conespondence immediately to my office mdicating this fact and the name of the appropriate contact. It is my understanding that Mr. Silvino desires to pursue the option to complete appropriate building code hnprovements to the flower stand at 2815 Jefferson to receive a recommendation from staff to allow the stand for a maximum period of five (5) years. In pursuing this option, I want to make sure that two issues are very clear to Mr. Alvarez as related to the selection of this option. First, the building code improvements may be quite costly. These improvements may include the requirement that the restroom facilities be constmcted within the building itself. The Building Code may not allow for temporary/portable restroom facilities for a retail establishment. It is very important that you and/or your client contact Pat Kelley, of the Building Department, directiy to identify the improvements which will be required for the buildmg to receive a building permit. It may not be financially feasible for Mr. Alvarez to meet these requirements. Second, it needs to be clearly understood that Mr. Alvarez will not be able to receive a building permit until the redevelopment permit is approved by the Design Review Board. The requirements may be 2965 Roosevelt St. • Suite B • Carlsbad, CA 92008 • (619) 434-2811 • Telefax 720-2037 R. Macgum May 24, 1995 Page 2 obtained from the Building Department but no work may commence until the redevelopment permit is approved. Mr. Alvarez should not complete any additional improvements to the site or the building until he knows that the land use has been approved; his financial investment will be at risk until the redevelopment permit is approved. Enclosed for your information are the two (2) most recent conespondence which have been forwarded to Mr. Alvarez. It is imperative that this project move forward with no additional delays. Therefore, your assistance is greatly appreciated in this matter. If you have any additional questions or need clarification for revisions to the flower stand plans, please do not hesitate to contact my office at 434-2935.

May 17, 1995 TO: ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND FILE FROM: DEBBIE FOUNTAIN, SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST HOUSEVG AND REDEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Per Anita Ramos-Bonas, Administrative Secretary for the Housing and Redevelopment Department, Mr. Silvino Alvarez and a woman came into the office today (5/17/95) to M" '3.20fX discuss their redevelopment permit. I was out of the office. However, Anita was able to discuss the permit with Mr. Alvarez. Mr. Alvarez has not yet revised his plans, which were due to my office by no later than today, but he indicated that he wanted to pursue "Option 1" which is to continue the 420 sq.ft flower stand and make the required building improvements. Per Mr. Alvarez and the woman with him, he was going to go speak to his lawyer, Mr. Richard MacGum, who initially prepared the set of plans so that he could get the attomey to revise the site plan. Mr. MacGum left a voice mail message for me which stated that he would be working with Mr. Alvarez to revise the plans but that there was no way that they could get them to my office by today. He would get them done as soon as possible and tum them into me. He asked that I call him. I retumed Mr. MacGum's call on 5/17/95 at approximately 4:15pm. He was in conference; the secretary took a message. A letter was faxed to Mr. MacGum indicating what action could be taken to extend the deadline for submitting the requested materials. May 9, 1995 TO: ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND FILE FROM: DEBBIE FOUNTAEV, SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION FOR REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR FLOWER STAND I contacted Ms. Flores by telephone again today at 1:45pm because I did not hear back from her after our last conversation on May 1, 1995. Ms. Flores stated that she tried to call me several times but was unable to reach me. However, I received no messages from her on my voice mail or through the front office. Ms. Flores indicated that she contacted her father (Mr. Alvarez) and he said he did not receive the package of information that I sent to him on April 6, 1995. I told her that I was very concemed about that because we did not receive the information back in our office and it was sent to the flower stand address as stated on their application. I told her that I would leave a copy of my correspondence to Mr. Alvarez at the front desk for her to pick up. Approximately five (5) minutes after I spoke with Ms. Torres, she called me and stated that her father did, in fact, receive the package I sent him but did not tell her. She said she would look at it tomorrow to find out what they needed to do. I told her that her father does not have much more time. A response was requested by April 21, 1995. If they do not soon decide what they are going to do, staff will need to take the project forward to the Design Review Board for denial. She said she would call me after she looked at the letter. DEBBIE FOUNTAIN May 1, 1995 TO: ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND FILE FROM: DEBBIE FOUNTAIN, HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT APPLICATION FOR REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR FLOWER STAND I contacted Ms. Flores today (approx. 2:00pm) to inquire as to the reason her father, Mr. Silvino Alvarez, had not yet contacted my office with a response to my letter of April 6, 1995. She indicated that she did not know but that she would call him and find out. She said he usually always tells her when he gets a letter but he had not said anything. Ms. Torres said she would call hhn and ask about the letter. Citv of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department May 11, 1995 MR. SILVINO ALVAREZ 2815 JEFFERSON STREET CARLSBAD, CA. 92008 RE: RP 94-04 - ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND Dear Mr. Alvarez: On April 6, 1995, a letter was forwarded to you outlining additional actions required by you to complete the process for obtaining a redevelopment permit for flower production and on- site flower sales at 2815 Jefferson Street. In the subject letter, it was requested that you select one of the two options presented regarding size of the building stmcmre for the on-site flower sales. The two building options were: 1) a 420 square foot stmcmre (including building and overhang) which requires substantial improvements to meet applicable building codes; or 2) a 120 square foot stmcture (no overhang) with no additional building code improvements requirements. The plans retumed to you with the subject letter needed to be revised to reflect the building option you have selected. The subject letter requested a response from you to my office by April 21. 1995. As of the date of this letter, I have not received a response from you. I spoke with your daughter, Ms. Hope Torres, on May 1 and May 9, 1995 regarding your permit and the subject letter dated April 6, 1995. Ms. Tones indicated to me that she would discuss this matter with you. It is critical that we receive revised site plans from you indicating the building size option you have selected for the flower stand by no later than May 17, 1995. The revised plans must include the location of the paved parking (1 or 2 spaces, depending upon the size of building you select) and the manner in which you will screen the portable restroom on the site. As a note for clarification purposes, the portable restroom must be completely screened from view by persons on the street or sidewalk. If revised plans are not submitted to my office by May 17, 1995, it will be necessary for me to take a report forward to the Design Review Board which recommends denial of your application for a minor redevelopment permit. Please understand that if your permit is denied by the Design Review Board, you will be required to immediately remove the flower stand and will no longer be permitted to sell flowers from the site. Your permit will be considered by the Design Review Board on June 7, 1995. If you submit plans which are satisfactory to staff by May 17tii, staff will recommend that the Design Review Board approve your permit. However, if you are unable to submit plans which address the issues outiined within my April 6th letter to you, then staff will find it necessary to recommend denial of the permit. 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste.

ALVAREZ May 11, 1995 Page 2 Due to the difficulty you have experienced with providing plans for your flower stand which will meet the design and development standards established for the Village Redevelopment Area, the following suggestions are offered to you in the event that your permit is denied by the Design Review Board: 1. Within the new Village Transit Station located on Grand Avenue (north side) between State Street and the railroad tracks, the North County Transit District will offer opportunities for a local business person to rent a 10' X 10' retail space to sell such items as coffee, muffins, newspapers, etc. Jt may be possible for you to rent one of these retail spaces to sell flowers produced on the site at 2815 Jefferson. If you would like to get your name on the waiting list for one of these retail spaces within the station, please contact Ms. Betty Laurs at 967-2862. Constmction on the new station is expected to be completed within the next couple of months. 2. The Village Business Association currently sponsors a Village Farmers' Market which is held every Wednesday aftemoon from 2:00pm to 5:00pm in the public parking lot located on the east side of Roosevelt Street between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue. If you would like to sell your flowers at the Market, contact Ms. Cynthia Bueker at 720-9161. She can provide you with information for obtaining a space at the Market. The above two suggestions allow you to continue to produce the flowers at 2815 Jefferson Street but sell them at an altemate location. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact our department secretary at 434-2815 or Ms. Torres may contact me directly at 434- 2935.

Las dos opciones fueron: 1) Una estructura con 420 piezes cuadrados (incluyiendo el edificio y la area que cuelga por encima), que necesita mejoramientos mayores para que sea applicable con los codijos de construccion; o 2) una estructura con 120 piezes cuadrados (sin la area que cuelga por encima), sin ningun mejoramiento adicional al codijo de construccion. Los planes que le regresamos con la primera carta tenian que ser revisados reflectando la opcion de construccion que ud. selecto. La carta solicitud una repuesta de ud. a mi oficina antes del 21 DE ABRIL. 1995. Desde la fecha de esta carta, yo no ha recibido una repuesta departe de ud.

Es muy critical que nosotros recibamos los planes revisados indicando cual opcion del tamano del edificio selecto para la parada de flores ANTES DEL 17 DE MAYO. 1995. Los planes revisados tienen que incluyir el lugar del estacionamiento pavimentado (uno o dos espacios, depende con el tamano del edificio que escoga), y la manera que ud. va a usar para que la facilidad portatil tenga una pantalla.

Sinceramente, CIUDAD DE CARLSBAD DEBBIE FOUNTAIN Sr. Management Analyst arb c5 itv of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department April 6, 1995 MR. SILVINO ALVAREZ 2815 JEFFERSON STREET CARLSBAD, CA. 92008 RE: RP 94-04 - ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND Dear Mr. Alvarez: It is my understanding that you have requested that all correspondence regarding your redevelopment permit application (94-04) be forwarded to you rather than Mr. Richard Macgum, your previously identified attomey. As indicated in a letter to you from Michael Hokmiller, the City's Planning Director, your redevelopment permit application was deemed complete for further processing on January 9, 1995. First, please accept my apologies for the delay in forwarding this conespondence to you. We recently changed our procedures and the Housing and Redevelopment Department is now responsible for processing all redevelopment permits. Previously, you were working witii Elaine Blackbum of the Planning Department. I will now be your point of contact as we contmue the processmg of your permit. At the time your application was deemed complete, it was forwarded to several City Departments for review, fmal comments and permit conditions. The purpose of this letter is to outiine issues which were raised during the fmal review and to summarize the remaining process for you. I hope it helps to provide this letter written in Spanish. The Housing and Redevelopment Department Secretary speaks Spanish. So, she is able to assist with translation if necessary. Her telephone number is 434-2815. I understand that Ms. Hope Tones has been assisting you and that she speaks English. If she would like to speak to me directly about this conespondence, she may contact me at 434-2935. In general, staff can support the proposed temporary land use for the subject property (2815 Jefferson) which provides for flower production and on-site flower sales. However, Redevelopment Staff can only support this land use for a temporary period of time (2 to 5 years). The flower field and small flower retail site does not ultimately represent the highest and best use for the subject property. But, we can support it for a specific period of time. Basically, two (2) issues arose during the final review of your project plans. The first issue involves the size of your building and applicable building code and parking requirements. The second issue involves driveways for the proposed use. 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (619) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (619) 720-2037 ^ S. Alvarez April 6, 1995 Page 2 Issue #1 The Building Department has indicated that any building stmcture which exceeds 120 square feet in size must comply with applicable building codes; this would require you to apply for and receive a building permit for the building. "Building Stmcture" includes the buildmg as well as tiie overhand^ area which basically creates a patio. Your current proposal is for a 120 square foot building with a 300 square foot patio, or overhang area. This means that you will have 420 square feet of building stmcmre which will make the building permit applicable to the project. To meet building code, you would need to make a number of improvements which may be quite costly. You should contact the Building Department directiy to discuss the building code in more detail. If you restrict your operations to the 120 square foot building only (no patio or overhang stmcture), you will not be required to obtain a building permit or comply with the building codes. This means you would need to revise your plans to remove the patio or overhang area. Regardless of the option you choose, Redevelopment Staff will recommend a restriction on the total period of time that you will be allowed to operate the proposed flower stand at the subject site. If you select the option to maintain the 420 square feet and make the necessary improvements to comply with the building code and obtain a building permit, staff will recommend a five (5) year term for the flower stand and production field. If you select the option to remove the patio or overhang and restrict operations to the 120 square foot building, staff will recommend only a one (1) year permit for tiie flower stand and production field. For information purposes, with a 420 square foot building stmcture, you will need to provide two (2) paved parking spaces. With a 120 square foot building stmcture, you will only be required to provide one (1) parking space. Your plans will need to be revised to reflect the option you select to pursue for your project. Issue #2: Engineering Staff can support the existing driveway only. You will not be required to provide a second driveway nor will staff recommend approval of a second driveway. Your plans will need to^revised to remove the second (proposed) driveway. Also, you will need to provide adequate tum around space on-site for the required parking spaces. Engineering Staff is unable to support a situation which results in persons being required to back their vehicles onto Jefferson Street. So, people will need room to back out S. Alvarez April 6, 1995 Page 3 of a parking space on the site and enter Jefferson Street in a forward position. Since the site has more than adequate space for the parking spaces, it is my assumption that the required turnaround should not present a problem for you. A final note on the proposed flower stand and field involves the restroom facilities. As indicated to Mr. Macgum in prior conversations, Redevelopment staff requests that the portable facility noted on your plans be screened from view of the public. The portable restroom must not be visible from the street. You may either place it behind the building or leave it at its current location but it must be screened. Please identify the type of screening you will be using on the plans. It was previously suggested that some white lattice work be used to screen the portable restroom. Please contact my office no later than April 21, 1995 to let me know how you wish to pursue resolution of the above issues. As indicated above, your plans will need to be revised as quickly as possible to address the above issues. When you have completed the revisions, please submit a total of six (6) copies of the plans to my office for fmal processing. Upon retum of the revised plans to my office, I will prepare the report to be presented to the Design Review Board (DRB) for final action. If you are able to make the requested revisions and remm the plans to my office by the end of this month (April 30, 1995), it is anticipated that the project will be submitted to the DRB for action on May 17, 1995. The term of your permit will correspond to the date your redevelopment permit is approved by the DRB or upon receipt of your building permit, dependmg upon which option you select for resolving the building stmcture size issue. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact my office. I would be happy to meet with you and Ms. Tones if you believe a meeting would be helpful.

Como fue indicado en una carta a ud. de Michael Holzmiller, el Director de Planificacion, de la ciudad de Carlsbad, su aplicacion fue considerada cornpieta para procesamiento mas adelante el dia 9 de Enero, 1995. Primero, por favor discuipe me por tardar me en mandarle esta correspondencia a ud. Recientemente nosotros cambiamos los procedimientos y ahora la oficina de Housing & Redevelopment es responsible de todos los permisos de Redevelopment. Antes, ud. estaban trantando este asunto con Elaine Blackburn, con el Departamento de Planificacion. Ahora, yo voy a ser su contacto mientras que nosotros continuamos el procesamiento de su permiso. Al tiempo que su aplicacion fue considerada cornpieta, varios departamentos de la ciudad la revisaron, comentarios finales, y condiciones del permiso. El proposito de esta carta es para perfilar los puntos que fueron manifestados durante la revista final y para resumir el proceso restante para ud. Espero que esta carta en Espanol le ayude. La secretaria de esta oficina (Housing & Redevelopment) habIa Espanol. Ella puede asistir a ud. en traduccion si es necesario. Su numero de telefono es (619) 434-2815. Es mi comprension que Hope Torres ha estado asistiendo a ud. y que ella habIa Engles. Si ella quiere hablar me directamente de esta correspondencia, ella se puede comunicarse con migo al telefone (619) 434-2935. En general, nosotros soportamos su propuesta del uso del terrene temporario para la propiedad (2815 Jefferson Street) que proveer la produccion de flores y para ventas de flores en la propiedad. De culquier modo, nosotros solamente podemos soportar el uso del terrene temporario (2 a 5 anos). El campo de flores y el sitio de flores de venta no represta el mejor uso de esta propiedad. Pero, nosotros soportamos este uso solamente por un especifico plazo de tiempo. Dos (2) puntos fueron revelados durante la revisa final de sus planes de su proyecto. El primer punto incluye el tamano de su edificio y el codijo applicable de construccion y los requisites de estacionamiento. E! segundo punto incluye los caminos de entradas para el uso propuesto. 2965 Roosevelt St, Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (619) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (619) 720-2037 ^ APRIL 6, 1995 MR. SILVINO ALVAREZ PAGE 2 PUNTO NO. 1 El Departamento de Construccion ha indicado que cualquier estructura de edificio que excede 120 piezes cuardados en tamano tiene que obedecer con los codijos de construccion; esc requerlr que ud. haga aplicacion y reciba un permiso de construccion para el edificio. "Estructura de Edificio" incluye el edificio y tambien la area que cuelga por encima que crear un patio (terraza). Su propuesto corriente es para un edificio de 120 piezes cuardados con un patio de 300 piezes cuardados, o una area que cuelga por encima. Esto quiere decir que ud. va a tener 420 piezes cuardados de estructura de edificio que hace el permiso de construccion aplicable.con el proyecto. Para salir adelante con el codijo de construccion, ud. va a tener que hacer varios mejoramientos que puedan ser muy costosos. Ud. necesita comunicarse directamente con el Departamento de Construccion para discutir el codijo de construccion para mas detalles. Si ud. limite su operaciones del edificio a solamente 120 piezes cuardados (sin area de patio o estructura que cuelga por encima) ud. no va necesitar de obtener un permiso de construccion o obedecer con los codijos de construccion. Esto quiere decir que ud. va tener que revisar sus planes para eliminar el patio 0 la area que cuelga por encima. A pesar de todo, o de la opcion que quiera, nosotros vamos a recomendar una arestriccion en el tiempo total que vd. va hacer permitido para operar su propuesta de parada de flores en este sitio. Si ud. escoge la opcion de mantener los 420 piezes cuardados y hacer los mejoramientos necesarios para obedecer con el codijo de construccion y obtener un permiso de construccion, nosotros vamos a recomendar un plazo de cinco (5) anos para la parada de flores y el camp de produccion. Si ud. escoge la opcion de eliminar el patio 0 la area que cuelga encima y limite las operaciones de edificio de 120 piezes cuardados, nosotros vamos a recomendar solamente un permiso de un (1) ano para la parada de flores y el campo de produccion. Para todos los efectos de informacion, con una estructura de edificio con 420 piezes cuardados, ud. va a necesitar de proveer dos (2) espacios de estacionamientos pavimentados. Con una estructura de edificio de 120 piezes cuardados, ud. solamente necesita proveer un (1) espacio de estacionamiento. Sus planes tienen que ser revisados para que reflecten ia opcion que escoga para segir con su proyecto. APRIL 6, 1995 MR. SILVINO ALVAREZ PAGES PUNTO NO. 2 El Departamento de Ingenieria solamente soporta el camino de entrada esistente. Ud. no tiene que proveer otro camino de entrada y nosotros tampoco vamos a recomendar de aprobar otro camino de entrada. Sus planes tienen que ser revisados para eliminar la segunda entrada. Ademas, ud. tiene que proveer espacios adecuados para vueltas en el sitio para los espacios de estacionamientos. El Departamento de Ingenieria no puede soportar una situacion que resulte en que personas tengan que dar marcha atras con sus vehiculos encima de la calle de Jefferson. Entonces, la gente va necesitar campo para dar marcha atras de un espacio de estacionamiento, en el sitio y entrar a ia calle de Jefferson en posicion delantero. Porque el sitio tiene mas de espacios adecuados para estacionamientos, es mi asunsion que los espacios necesarios para vueltas no sera una problema para ud. Una nota final de la propuesta para la parada de flores y campo incluye las facilidades de banos como fue indicado a Mr. Macgurn en conversaciones anteriormente. Nosotros solicitamos que la facilidad portatil notada en sus planes tengan una pantalla y sin vista del publico. El portatil de banos tampoco no puede ser visible de la calie. Ud. puede poner ei portatil atras del edificio o dejarlo donde esta, pero tiene que tener una pantalla. Favor de identificar el tipo de pantalla que va a usar en los planes. Antes una sugestion fue que usaran enrejado bianco para la pantalla del bano portatil. Por favor de comunicarse con mi oficina antes de April 21,1995, para que me diga como quiere arreglar los puntos indicados anteriormente. Como es indicado anteriormente, sus planes tienen que ser revisados lo mas pronto possible para tratar los puntos indicados. Cuado ud. complete las revisiones, por favor de someter seis (6) copias de los planes a mi oficina para el procesamiento final. Cuado reciba los planes revisados en mi oficina, yo voy a preparar el reporte que sera presentado al Design Review Board para la accion final. Si puede hacer las revisiones que estamos solicitando y regresar los planes a mi oficina para el fin de este mez (April 30,1995), es anticipado que el proyecto va ser sometido al Design Review Board para accion el 17 de Mayo, 1995. El plazo de su permiso va corresponder con la fecha que su permiso de Redevelopment es aprovado por el Design Review Board o antes de recibir su permiso de construccion, depende cual opcion selecto para resolver e! punto del tamano de la estructura del edificio.

Per our brief discussion on January 9,1995, staff (Planning and Engineering) will review the possibility of providing the two required spaces behind the flower stand. We will contact you regarding our conclusion as to whether such a design would comply with City requirements. ENGINEERING: \ 1. The Engineering Department has determined that the proposed new driveway (on the northem edge of the property) is not required for this use and, if constmcted, would eliminate existing on-street parking. Therefore, should the requested Conditional Use Pennit (CUP) be approved, this proposed driveway would specifically not be approved. Law Offices of'Kichard'B.

I have just had a conference with my client regarding the permit application and the visit Debbie Fountain recently made to the Alvarez flowerstand regarding this matter. I am disturbed by the tone of Ms. Fountain's communications, but I will address my concerns to her. My letter to you of November 7, 1994 was intended to clarify the information that had been communicated to me and to my client regarding the permit process and to assure you that we are proceeding in this matter in good faith. I believe it is evident that Mr. Alvarez has put a tremendous amount of effort into this project to improve the appearance of his stand while his application is being completed and his permit is being processed. In your reply to my letter, you state that there was nothing in the application submittal to indicate that I am Mr. Alvarez' representative, however, my name, address and telephone number appears on all the plans and on the business card and cover letter (a copy of which is enclosed for your reference) which I hand delivered to the Planning Department and submitted with the application packet. As you are aware, the Land Use Review Application prepared by the City does not designate a space for such information. Further, I discussed my representation of Mr. Alvarez and his English language limitations with the Planning staff person whose name appears on the enclosed acknowledgment dated June 6, 1994. I was able to obtain a copy of Mr. Holzmiller's July 6, 1994 letter of application incompleteness on August 24, 1994, only after contacting your office regarding the status of the Alvarez application. I promptly communicated with you on September 2, 1994 regarding your assignment to this project and my representation of Mr. Alvarez. It is my hope that we can continue to keep the lines of communication open and work together in this matter. Again, I appreciate your confirming the upcoming December 8, 1994 deadline and your keeping me apprised of matters relating to the flowerstand Elaine Blackburn November 22, 1994 Page 2 application and permit process.

This project, as noted in the enclosed documents, is a small flowerstand located just within the Redevelopment Area of Carlsbad. The property is for sale by the owners, but an agreement has been made which allows Mr. Alvarez to grow and sell his flowers there until the close of escrow. I have met with Debbie Fountain regarding the documents which the City requires to allow Mr. Alvarez to continue operating his business on the subject site, and every effort has been made to timely comply with those requirements. I appreciate any assistance you can provide us in this matter and I look forward to hearing from you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

To be stapled with receipt to application Copy for file City of Carlsbad Planning Department November 15, 1994 Mr. Richard B. Macgum 1015 Chestnut Avenue, Suite E3 Carisbad, CA 92008 SUBJECT: RP 94-04 - ALVAREZ FLOWER STAND Dear Mr. Macgum: Planning staff has received your letter of November 7, 1994, regarding the above referenced project. My reminder letter to you (and to Mr. Alvarez) was a courtesy letter which is routinely sent to an applicant when a legal deadline is approaching and staff has had no communication from an appiicant or his named representative. This is particularly Important to an applicant in Mr. Alvarez's situation, where the applicant is pursuing a permit following a Code Enforcement identification of an unpermitted use. The property owner was notified of the need for a Redevelopment Permit (RP) on December 28, 1993, and received several follow-up notbes. While regulations allow an applicant a maximum six months' time from initial submittal to make his application complete, most projects do not require six months. Further, a lack of any response to any of the incompleteness items identified in our con-espondence of July 6, 1994, does not seem to be a good faith effort to comply with Code Enforcement/Redevelopment Agency direction to Mr. Alvarez. The City has allowed Mr. Alvarez to continue operating the flower stand without a permit only on the basis that a good faith effort be made to obtain the necessary permit. The City, however, is not obligated to allow the continued use while the required permit application is being processed. If the City does not feel that a good faith effort is being made to obtain the permit in a timely fashion, the City can require Mr. Alvarez to cease operation of the flower stand. Finally, you suggest in your letter that any delay in making a resubmittal was due to the fact that the City incorrectly sent its correspondence to Mr. Alvarez rather than to you. Staff must, therefore, remind you that there was nothing in the application submittal to indicate that you were to be the applicant's representative. The land use review application and the disclosure form both indicate that Mr. Alvarez is the applicant and Mr. & Mrs. Kelso are the property owners. Your name does not appear on any of these forms, nor is there any letter or other statement to the effect that you are to be the applicant's legal representative or that you are to be copied on any correspondence. In the absence of any such statement or request, staff would, of course, direct all correspondence to the applicant. If you have any questions, you may contact me at (619) 438-1161, extension 4471.

The day after I received your letter, I also received correspondence from Debbie Fountain regarding this same matter. In reference to both letters, please note that, in correspondence to you of September 2, 1994, I confirmed Mr. Alvarez' receipt of the two lists prepared by Mr. Holzmiller which indicated the items necessary to complete the flowerstand application. At that time, I stated Mr. Alvarez' intent to complete his application within the six month deadline established by Mr. Holzmiller. I agree that there is still adequate time to submit the information necessary to complete Mr. Alvarez' project application within the December 8, 1994 deadline. It remains my client's intention to submit to you a completed application on or before that date. As previously requested, keep me apprised of all communication made to Mr. Alvarez regarding this matter. Please remember, Mr. Alvarez reads and speaks only Spanish. Although I prepared and submitted the Application for a Redevelopment Permit, the City's initial response was sent to Mr. Alvarez and not to me, which has delayed our response. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Macgum 1015 Chesmut Avenue, Suite E3 Carlsbad, CA 92008 SUBJECT: RP 94#^^i:A^Aft]^^l^ Dear Mr. Macgum: The above-referenced application was submitted on June 8, 1994. On July 6, 1994, Planning staff sent an "incomplete" letter identifying the items needed to complete the application and identifying some preliminary potential issues. In September, Elizabeth Gifford at your office contacted me regarding the application. She indicated that Mr. Alvarez does not speak English and that your office would be handling the processing of the application. I sent her a copy of our July 6 letter originally sent to Mr. Alvarez. Since that time I have heard nothing further regarding the project. Consequentiy, I wanted to follow up on the status. The City's Municipal Code directs that an applicant has six months from the date an application is initially filed to submit sufficient information for the application to be deemed complete for review. For the subject application, the six months will expire on December 8, 1994. Tlie application will be automatically withdrawn on that date if it is not complete. However, there is still adequate time to submit the necessary information to make the project application complete. If you have any questions regarding submittal requirements or wish to discuss the project, please call me at (619) 438-1161, extension 4471.

APN: 203-110-29 Dear Mr. MacGum: Since December 28, 1993, the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Agency has been requesting that your client, Mr. S. Alvarez, obtam a redevelopment permit for the flower stand he has installed on property located at 2815 Jefferson Street in Carlsbad, Califomia. As previously stated, the flower stand has not been approved and, therefore, should not be in operation on the noted site. The Redevelopment Agency has permitted the operation to continue with the specific understanding that every effort must be made to obtam a redevelopment pemut as soon as possible. As of this date, a completed redevelopment permit application has not yet been submitted to the City's Planning Department for the flower stand and, per the project planner, the last correspondence made was on July 6, 1994. At this time, it no longer appears that you, or your client, are making a good faith effort to process the required application for this permit. The Redevelopment Agency believes that Mr. Alvarez has been given more than reasonable time to obtain the required permit for his flower stand. If immediate action is not taken to submit a complete application to the Planning Department, the Redevelopment Agency will request that code enforcement action be initiated and that operation of the flower stand be immediately terminated. If you have any questions regarding the information that must be submitted to complete your application, please contact the project planner, Elaine Blackbum, at (619) 434- 4471. Your immediate attention to this matter is required to prevent further legal action against Mr. Alvarez. If you have any questions regarding this issue, contact my office at (619) 434-2935.

The plans contain contradictoiy infoimation regarding sizes/areas and between written dimensions and scaled distances. An example is the flower stand. Sheet 1 indicates an 8' X15* flower stand. However, the diawing shows a T dimension which appears to be longer than the 8' dimension. On Sheet 2, the legend again indicates an 8' x 15* building. However, the drawing dimensions say 23'(8''f 15^ x 15*, and the building scales to approximately 17* x 24*. These inconsistencies cany over to the building area square footage which is stated as 120 sf but scales to approximately 345 square feet Staff suggests you review the plans fully to correct the inconsistencies and verify (or add where appropriate) dimension lines to clarify the stated dimensions. 4. The existing zoning and land use shown in the legend should be conected. The zoning on the site is "V-R". The existing land use designation (Le., General Plan designation) is •TIMH/O". 5. The legend contains a projected Average Daily Traffic Generation figure of "17-20". How was this figure determined? The number of Average Daily Trips (ADT) should be deteimined by using the latest version of "Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates For The San Diego Region" published by SANDAG. 6.
