After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director has determined that the findings required for granting the request can be made and, therefore, APPROVES this request based upon the following findings and conditions. Findings: 1. The proposed addition of 598 square feet to the existing tenant space to provide outdoor seating for a Rubio's restaurant is consistent with the intent of the C-2/Q Zone to provide restaurant services. 2. There is adequate parking available within the existing parking lot to accommodate the proposed expansion because restriping of the lot has resulted in 23 additional parking spaces and only 12 of these additional spaces are required to provide parking for the proposed outdoor eating area. Condition: 1. Development shall be consistent with the approved building plans. This decision may be appealed by you or any member of the public to the Planning Commission within ten days of receipt of this letter. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Planning Commission at 2075 Las Palmas Drive in Carlsbad, along with a payment of $490. The filing of such appeal within such time limit shall stay the effective date of the decision of the Planning Director until such time as a final decision on the appeal is reached. 2O75 Las Palmas Drive • Carlsbad, California 92OO9-1576 • (619)438-1161 RUBIO'S AUGUST?, 1996 PAGE 2 RESTAURANT^ If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Elaine Blackburn at (619) 438-1161, extension 4471.

One proposal is a recommendation by the Planning Department for the allowance of limited outdoor seating at the Carlsbad Plaza South shopping center. Although the proposal has not been finalized, the recommendation will be for a specific number of outdoor seats that could be approved at Staff level and be exempt from all water, sewer and traffic fees. The second proposal is a possible reduction of the City Water Fees. If either or both of these proposals are approved, Rubio's Restaurants is hereby submitting this letter in protest of paying any fees that may soon be eliminated or reduced by the City. We are hereby going on record to request a refund of fees paid if the building permit is issued prior to the effective date of the fee elimination or reduction. sborah Kerr Project Services Agent for Rubio's cc: Richard Rubio/Rubio's Restaurants .7/1./K* 16!23 KB* PROJECT SVS CARLSBAD RUBIO'S Brief Legal Description Parcel 4 of Parcel Map #4838, City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, Division of Portion of Lot 4 and 5, in Section 32, Township 11, South Range 4 West, San Bernardino Meridian Memo to File Date: August?, 1996 Rubio's has applied for a building permit for a restaurant. The application includes an existing tenant space of 6000 sf and an expansion for outdoor dining of 598 sf (30 seats). The required parking for the shopping center is 435 spaces. A recent restriping resulted in a total of 458 spaces (23 spaces more than is required). The parking required for the Rubio's outdoor dining area is 12 spaces (lsp:50sf). Therefore, after the approval of Rubio's building permit, the required parking for the center is 447 spaces. The total number of spaces provided is 458. There are still 11 extra spaces available beyond the required parking of 447 spaces which could be used to satisfy parking requirements for other expansion requests. (See copy of restriping plan.)

HOPE AND ASSOCIATES REQUEST: Approval of building elevations for a Bank of America Building in the Kelley-Kurlander Shopping Center. BACKGROUND: City Council Resolution No. 3304 approved a Specific Plan allow- ing development of a shopping center on the northeast corner of Marron Road and El Camino Real. Condition 28 of this Resolution states that: "The architecture of the development shall be of the Hispanic character as established in the scenic corridor along El Camino Real. Building elevations shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for consideration and comment prior to any develop- ment." The applicant is submitting elevations in compliance with this condition. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff feels that the tiled roof, arched entries, and stucco-painted walls, combine to give a hispanic motif to the building and therefore recommends that the elevations be APPROVED. It should be noted that the site plan, including parking and circulation systems, are not subject to review at this time. They will be reviewed by staff at the time of building permit application.
