ITEM EXPLANATION: On December 14, 1987, the City of Carlsbad received permit issuing authority for Coastal Development Permits within the Redevelopment Area. For Coastal Development Permit issuance, the Streetscape Project was broken into four (4) separate actions. The first, CDP 88-7, Resolution No. 126, is street improvements on Elm Avenue from Pio Pica to Garfield Street and on Carlsbad Boulevard from Oak Avenue to Pacific Street. CDP 88-8, Resolution No. 127, is for the Streetscape Sculpture Park on Carlsbad Boulevard at Oak Avenue. CDP 88-9, Resolution No. 128; is for the portions of the Streetscape Project on Elm Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard which are within the Coastal Development appeal Area. CDP 88-10, Resolution No. 129, is for the off-street parking lots to be built as replacement for parking spaces removed from Elm Avenue. The Planning Director has determined that the Streetscape Project has already been considered in conjunction with a previously certified Negative Declaration dated January 20, 1988, and confirmed by Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. 98, dated February 2, 1988, and has therefore, issued a Notice of Prior Compliance dated January 18, 1989. Approval of the attached Resolutions will issue the Coastal Development Permits for the Village Redevelopment Area Streetscape Project. % FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no fiscal impact as a result of the approval of the Coastal Development Permits for the Streetscape Project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND As indicated by the separate applications, the project has four distinct components. The first component is the enhancement of the Elm Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard Streetscapes. The enhancement would extend from Pio Pica to Garfield Street on Elm Avenue from Oak to Pacific Street on Carlsbad Boulevard. The project proposes; 1) resurfacing roadways and sidewalks, 2) enhancing the landscaping of the roadway medians and parkway, and 31 roadway improvements to enhance circulation and access to the Village. On-street parking and bike routes on Elm Avenue will be eliminated by the project. The second component is the Streetscape Sculpture. This project is located on State owned property west of Carlsbad Boulevard, between Pine and Oak Avenues. The third component is the portion of the Streetscape Program on Elm Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard which is within the Coastal Development Permit Appeals area. Approvals of projects within this area can be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. The last component of the project is an off-street Downtown parking program. -- CDP 88-7,8,9,10 - STREETSCAPE February 21, 1989 PAGE 2 III. ANALYSIS Does the project conform to the Village Redevelopment segment of Carlsbad's adopted Local Coastal Program? On December 14, 1987, the California Coastal Commission granted permit authority to the Redevelopment Agency to issue Coastal Development Permits. Coastal Development Permits must implement the Village Design Manual and the specific Coastal requirements outlined in the Village Design Manual. For the project, those requirements relate to urban design, the provision of adequate off-street parking and the elimination of bicycle facilities on Elm Flvenue. The Streetscape Project’s Design clearly implements the design goals of the redevelopment area. The Streetscape Project will provide landscaping, enhanced pavement, pedestrian furniture - such as benches and trash compactors, public art and signage. The specific coastal requirements do not allow reductions, or off-site provision of, off-street parking requirements for redevelopment projects unless amendments or exemptions are formally approved by the Coastal Commission. The proposed Streetscape Project will remove approximately 92-95 on-street parking spaces. Although not a Coastal requirement, these 92-95 on-street spaces will be replaced by the 111 off-street spaces proposed by the Downtown Parking Program. The project complies with the Specific Coastal parking standards of the Village Redevelopment Segment of Carlsbad's Local Coastal Program for two reasons. First the proposed project in total will increase the amount of parking by 16-19 spaces, second, the 111 off-street parking spaces will not be used to satisfy any required off-site parking requirements for any other redevelopment project. Carlsbad's circulation element of the General plan identifies Elm Avenue as a bicycle route and the Village Design Manual specifically encourages bicycle linkages within the redevelopment area. Although the proposed project could make safe bike travel on Elm Avenue difficult, it will provide bike routes one block north on Grand Avenue from Harding to Carlsbad Boulevard. As a result, this improvement would be consistent with Carlsbad's circulation element to provide safe and efficient bike travel in the area. ENVIRONMENTAL The Planning Director has determined that this project has already been considered in conjunction with a previously certified Negative Declaration dated, January 20, 1988, and confirmed by Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. 98, February 2, 1988, and therefore, has issued a Notice of Prior Environmental Compliance dated January 18, 1989. A copy of the Negative Declaration is on file in the Planning Department. - CDP 88-7,8,9,10 - STREETSCAPE February 21, 1989 PAGE 3 ATTACHMENTS 1. Notice of Prior Compliance 2.
