NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Design
Review Board as follows:
1. That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
2. That based on the evidence presented at the public
meeting, the Design Review Board hereby APPROVES the
exemption to Section 21.28.015(4)(b) of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code relating to the off street parking
requirement (24 spaces) to allow an amendment to RP 85-1 for
a bar/cocktail lounge use with live entertainment (piano bar
only) and dancing based on the following findings, as
required by Section 21.35.130 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code, and subject to the following conditions:
FINDINGS :
1. The application of the off street parking provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and Village Design Manual would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships which would make development inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan. The building in which the proposed project is located was constructed in 1925 and was built from property line to property line. The entire building would need to be demolished and rebuilt in order to provide the required parking of 24 off street spaces for the bar/cocktail lounge use; this
action is both impractical and would create an
unnecessary financial hardship for the property owner.
The overall goal of the Village Redevelopment Project is to create a pleasant, attractive, accessible environment for living, shopping, recreation, civic, cultural and service functions. The proposed project is consistent with this goal.
2. There are exceptional circumstances or conditions
unique to the property or the proposed development which do not generally apply to other properties or developments which have the same standards, controls
and restrictions. The noted property is unique because

it is historically significant (Los Diego Hotel) and
the City would not want to encourage the demolition of
the building for the purposes of providing off street
parking. Therefore, it is appropriate for the City to
allow an exemption to the parking standard in order to
ensure that the building is preserved as well as
remains functional on a long term basis.
The granting of an exemption will not be injurious or
materially detrimental to the public welfare, other properties or improvements in the project area. The bar has been in operation for approximately 8 years without incident. The City/Agency is not aware of any complaints from surrounding property owners regarding
operations of the bar/cocktail lounge. The bar is, and
will be, operated in a manner which prohibits any
activity which might be injurious or materially
detrimental to the public welfare, other properties or
improvements in the Village.
The granting of an exemption will not contradict the
standards established in the Village Design Manual. The
proposed use is consistent with the Village Design Manual. Uses allowed within this area are those which are allowed by the C-2, C-1 and R-P zones. Bars and/or
cocktail lounges are allowed within the C-2 zone
through the redevelopment permit process. The Village Design Manual requires that adequate provisions for off street parking be provided when any building or structure is erected, enlarged or intensified in use.
However, the Design Manual also encourages innovative
methods of providing off street parking. Since the
building is not being enlarged and the use is not be
intensified at this time, the granting of the noted
exemption will not contradict the standards established
within the Village Design Manual.
Conditions:
1. Approval is granted for an exemption from the off
street parking requirements (24 spaces) for a bar
and/or cocktail lounge ("The Alley1@) for a period of
five years.
2. Approval of the exemption from the off street parking requirements is granted subject to approval of the amendment to, and extension of, RP 85-1.
