HD. @ ‘ CITY Am. @* JOIN HANDS SAVE-A-LIFE YOUTH FACILITY RECOMMENDED ACTION: If the Housing and Redevelopment Commission finds the redesign of the project to be acceptable, the action is to ADOPT Resolution Nos. 30s and 3 0 6 APPROVING a major redevelopment permit RP 97-03, with variances for setbacks which exceed the range and an off-site loading/unloading area, for the Join Hands Save-A-Life Youth Facility, and the related Negative Declaration issued for the subject project. If the Commission finds the redesign to be unacceptable and/or is unable to support the findings to grant the required variances for the project, the action is to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the appropriate documents to deny the major redevelopment permit for the project. ITEM EXPLANATION: Backaround On April 7, 1998 and May 12, 1998, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission reviewed and considered the application for a major redevelopment permit requested for a new youth facility proposed by the non-profit organization known as Join Hands Save-A-Life. The new project is proposed for development on three existing vacant lots located on the west side of Roosevelt Street (mid-block) between Pine and Roosevelt Streets. The Commission originally considered the project with a request from the applicant for the following seven (7) variances: 1. Front Setback below the minimum range to zero feet. 2. Front Setback exceeding the maximum of the acceptable range. 3. South side setback below the minimum range to zero feet. 4. North side setback below the minimum range to zero feet. 5. Rear setback exceeding the maximum of the acceptable range. 6. Roof design (no 4:12 roof pitch for the gym portion of the building). 7. Off-site loading and unloading area. During the Commission discussion on the subject project, concern was expressed about the number of variances being requested by the applicant as well as the amount of parking to be provided for the facility. Commission members indicated that the facility appeared to be too large for the site and were concerned that the applicant would not have the financial ability to finance and/or operate the facility as designed. Following final review by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission on May 12, 1998, the decision was made that the project was not acceptable. The Commission directed the applicant to return at a later date with revised plans presenting a smaller redesigned facility which does not require as many variances. Attached is a copy of Commission Resolution No. 295 and the related agenda bill which sets forth the Commission’s instructions. The applicant, Join Hands, has redesigned the project and is now requesting reconsideration by the Commission. A copy of the revised plans has been distributed to each of the Commission members and a set of the plans is on file in the City Clerk’s Office and Housing and Redevelopment Department for public review. In addition, the applicant has provided information on the manner in which he intends to finance construction of the facility and on- \ - AB#,?0s Page 2 going operations. Redesiuned Proiect The facility, as redesigned, is not significantly different than the original design reviewed by the Commission on April 7’h and May 12’“. The architecture of the redesigned building is generally the same as reflected in the previous plans. However, the building size has been reduced slightly and the roof has been redesigned to provide for the required pitch. The previous building was proposed to be 9587 square feet in size. The redesigned building is proposed to be 9100 square feet in size. It, therefore, has been reduced in size by 487 square feet. In the first design, Join Hands planned to complete the interior first and second floors at the same time. In the second design, Join Hands has proposed to complete the first phase, upon approval, with one floor which would provide for 6175 square feet of total building area. The second floor would be added at a later date and provide the additional 2,925 square feet of building space. The exterior of the building would be built to accommodate the second story. However, the interior improvements would not be completed to add the second floor space (within the front and rear of the building) until some later date. Timing for construction of the second floor space is not known. If the permit is to be approved by the Commission, staff is recommending that the applicant be allowed to build the first floor space only as part of this permit. The second floor space would then require an amendment to this original permit to be approved by the Commission at a later date. Originally, the applicant had proposed to have a full size basketball court and a separate area for the boxing ring within the gym portion of the facility. Within the redesigned facility, the gym area will serve as a multi-purpose room. The activities will include one or more of the following activities: boxing ring or rings, fitness machines, weights and bags, aerobic space, and court space. The chart below provides a summary of the changes to the project as related to development standards set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual: Standard Front Setback: 5 to 10 feet Side Setback: 5 to 10 feet Rear Setback: 5 to 10 feet Open Space: 20% Building Coverage: 60 to 80% Building Height: 30’ w/ 4:12 roof pitch Parking: Elementary School - one Original Design 0 to 20 feet 0 feet 31 to 39 feet 23.3% 64.7% 30’ w/ 4:12 pitch at front & rear flat roof on gym 3 parking spaces Redesign 6 feet 5 feet 38 feet 5 inches 24.8% 58.8% 30’ w 4:12 pitch on entire roof, including gym Same as Original Design parking space for each employee 2 regular & 1 handicap with adequate loading and unloading Tyler Street Loading & Unloading Variances The project, as redesigned, will no longer require variances for the following: 1) front setback below the minimum range to zero feet; 2) side setbacks below the minimum range to zero feet; 3) front setback exceeding the maximum of the range (to 20 feet); and/or, 4) the roof design, which was originally flat on the gym portion of the building. The redesigned project provides for the minimum front and side setbacks. The side setbacks will be five (5) feet and the front setback will be six (6) feet (no variation). Findings will need to be made to allow the setbacks to be reduced to the minimum of the range, but variances are not required to approve the AB# 30s Page 3 project. As stated previously, the roof has been redesigned to allow for a pitched roof over the gym as well as the front and rear portions of the building. The proposed pitched roof now meets the development standards for the area. The project will still require a variance for the rear setback which exceeds the maximum of the acceptable range (10 feet). The rear yard setback is proposed at 38 feet, 5 inches. This variance, however, does not have a negative impact because it is required to allow the parking to be in the rear of the building, rather than off of Roosevelt Street. Parking at the rear of the site is encouraged and considered to be very desirable in the Village Redevelopment Area. Unfortunately, the Village Master Plan and Design Manual currently requires that a variance be granted if a setback exceeds the desirable range. This is a code matter which needs to be corrected, especially in cases where the increased setback is necessary to accommodate required parking. Staff will be processing an amendment to the Village Master Plan and Design Manual at a later date to correct this situation. In the meantime, however, if the Commission wishes to approve the subject permit, the variance must be granted to allow the rear setback which exceeds the range. The parking remains the same as the original proposal. The project will provide for a total of 3 parking spaces - two regular and one handicap. Staff has proposed that the elementary school standard be applied to the project which requires “one parking space for each employee, minimum, with an adequate loading and unloading area” (CMC 21.44.020(18)(B)). If the elementary school standard is applied to the project as recommended, the 3 parking spaces meets the requirement because the applicant has indicated that there will be two (2) employees maximum. Although the City’s Parking Ordinance is not specific on where the “adequate loading and unloading area” must be located, staff has interpreted the Ordinance to mean that the loading and unloading area must be located on the site. Since the project proposes to provide the loading and unloading area off of Tyler Street (public street), at the rear of the building, and not physically on the site, the project will still require a variance to allow the proposed off-site loading and unloading area. If the Commission does not believe that the elementary school standard can be appropriately applied to the project and/or the parking to be provided is not adequate, then the Commission will not be able to approve the project. The findings to grant the two subject variances are noted below and set forth in the attached resolutions approving the project. If the Commission does not believe these findings can be appropriately made, then the Commission will be required to deny the permit for the project. Variance Findings The Commission may find that the proposed project is consistent with the land use plan, development standards, design guidelines and other applicable regulations set forth with the Village Redevelopment Plan and Village Master Plan and Design Guidelines, with approval of the following required findings to allow for variances for the rear setback that exceeds the standard range and the off-site loading/unloading area for participants: 1. The application of certain provisions of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual and the Carlsbad Municipal Code will result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships which would make development inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan. A need has been publicly expressed for additional youth activities within the community which will provide a diversion to gang activities and other activities which may have an adverse impact on the community. The requested variances are necessary in order for the applicant to construct a youth facility which is appropriate for the type of programs to be offered to youths within the neighborhood. The rear setback which exceeds the standard range is necessary to AB# 305 Page 4 2. accommodate the parking required at the rear of the property. This is desired and encouraged by the Village Master Plan for projects located on Roosevelt Street. Without the variance, the project would not be able to provide the required parking at the rear of the project. As related to the off-site loading/unloading area, the Commission finds that the off- site location will not impede vehicular traffic or create conflicts with pedestrians. In addition, the proposed project is located mid-block in an area where vehicle speeds are lower and the street is wide enough to accommodate the off-site loading/unloading area. 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 standard, restrictions, controls. The proposed project represents a unique use with unique+circumstances. -Because the project provides for a facility which is not typical in terms of other commercial buildings in the area, there are certain facility design requirements such as the rear setback and on-site loading/unloading area which present a conflict for the applicant in terms of the programs to be offered within the subject facility. It is desired that the parking be provided at the rear of the site to prevent conflicts with pedestrians in the area. Without the required rear setback variance, the applicant could not provide the parking at the rear of the site. Because of the nature of the programs to be offered by the applicant, there are also exceptional circumstances which result in less need for an on-site loading/unloading area. The participants will arrive at differing times throughout the afternoon and evening, which is much different than an elementary school where students are arriving basically at the same time in the morning and leaving at the same time in the afternoon and creating a much more significant potential for traffic conflicts. A majority of the participants in the Join Hands programs will be arriving as pedestrians or bicycle riders. The Commission finds that the exceptional circumstances due to the type of programs provided by the applicant justify a variance from the subject development standards. 3. The granting of a variance will not be injurious or materially detrimental to the public welfare, other properties or improvements in the project area. The rear setback which exceeds the standard range will not be detrimental because it allows the parking to be located to the rear of the site, which will actually eliminate conflicts with pedestrians using Roosevelt Street. There is very little pedestrian activity on Tyler Street, which is located to the rear of the property. The off-site loading and unloading area will have no detrimental impact on surrounding properties due to the already existing mixed use nature of the land uses within the area. Employees of surrounding businesses will generally arrive at work prior to the opening of the youth facility and will leave the businesses prior to the highest anticipated usage period for the youth facility. The youth facility use hours are at off-peak hours in terms of commercial compatibility and will provide for closure at an hour which should have minimal impact on the neighboring residential. 4. The granting of a variance will not contradict the standards established in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual because those standards were intended to be somewhat flexible in order to encourage diversity and variety. The granting of the subject variances will not contradict the standards set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual because the project has been designed in a manner consistent with the pedestrian orientation which is desired for the area and set forth as an objective of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. There is adequate area to the rear of the proposed building (within the public right-of-way, off of Tyler Street at the sidewalk curb) to allow for participants to be dropped off and picked up safely without having a detrimental impact on traffic flow within the area. AB# go5 Page 5 5. The project is in a location where adjacent buildings are setback further than the permitted standard (range), adjacent buildings are likely to remain, and setting the structure back to the desired standard will maintain and reinforce the Village character of the area. The subject property is in a location which has varying setbacks. To the north, the residential units have varying setbacks. To the south, the commercial property is setback in the rear by nearly 77 feet. It is expected that these buildings will remain for many more years. The larger rear setback allows for a private outdoor patio and a rear parking lot, which are both desirable features of the project. 6. The project is in a location which is in a transition area to residential development and where increased setbacks would soften the visual transition between commercial and residential development or would protect the livability of the residential development. The project is located in a very mixed use area with a gradual transition into residential. The proposed project serves as a “bridge” between the uses in terms of the mixed setbacks. The increased setback in the rear will help to create an appropriate transition from the residential to the north to the commercial property to the south. Reduced Standards Findings The Commission may find that the proposed project is consistent with the land use plan, development standards, design guidelines and other applicable regulations set forth with the Village Redevelopment Plan and Village Master Plan and Design Guidelines, with approval of the findings noted above to grant the requested variances. The following required findings will allow for the reduced front and side yard setbacks, to a minimum of six (6) and five (5) feet, respectively : 1. The reduced standard will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. The project is located in an area which has a mix of uses, both commercial and residential. The commercial property to the south has a similar (5 feet) front setback. The residential property to the north is setback approximately 15 feet from the property line. The reduced front setback will have no adverse impact on the residential property to the north or the commercial property to the south. This setback allows for more pedestrian interaction which is desired for both this facility and the area in general. The commercial property to the south has no side yard setback on the side of the property which is adjacent to the subject property. Any new building on the adjacent sites, however, will have the same minimum side yard setback requirement (5 feet). 2. The reduced standard will assist in developing a project which meets the goals of the Village Redevelopment Area and is consistent with the objectives for the land use district in which the project is to be located. The reduced standard is necessary in order to allow the applicant to construct a building which can provide needed services to the youths of the area. It allows for a more visually appealing design and assists in the effort to create a facility which is an appropriate size to accommodate the desired activities. 3. The reduced standard will assist in creating a project which is interesting and visually appealing and reinforces the Village character of the area. The project design is consistent with the guidelines for the Village. The reduced setbacks provide for appropriate articulation in the building which assists in the effort to make the building visually interesting and more appealing. 5 AB# 305 Page 6 Parking Standard Findings The Housing and Redevelopment Commission will need to find that the parking standard applied to the project is appropriate. As previously indicated, staff has recommended that the applicable parking requirement for the proposed project be the same as that applied to elementary schools, as set forth within Chapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The project, as proposed, will provide for a total of three parking spaces which meets the applicable standard for elementary schools based on the fact that the applicant indicates that the facility will employ two persons. The attached resolution provides a finding which indicates that the parking provided will meet the applied parking requirement. The findings noted above for granting a variance will allow 1) the parking to be provided at the rear of the site and 2) an off- site loading/unloading area. Staff Summarv The applicant has redesigned the proposed project in an effort to reduce the number of variances required and to reduce the size of the building. The redesigned project does not substantially change the original proposal. However, it does now generally meet the development standards set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. If the Commission accepts the suggested parking standard, the only variances required for the project will be for the rear setback which exceeds the range and the off-site loading and unloading area. If the Commission does, not accept the suggested parking standard, a new standard would need to be applied. In this case, the project may need an additional variance if it can’t meet the alternate parking standard to be applied by the Commission. The Commission expressed concern over the construction financing and long-term operational financing for the subject project during the previous public hearings. To respond to the concern, the applicant has submitted information as to the funding sources for construction and operation of the facility. This information is attached for review by the Commission. As indicated, the applicant proposes to fund the facility through donations, fund-raising and.grants. There will be no fees charged to the youths for services. This means that operational financing will be completely dependent upon outside sources. In addition, to address the financing concern, the applicant has proposed to complete the project in two phases. The second floor of the facility would not be completed until a need is demonstrated and financing is determined to be available. The project can be approved, if the Commission is satisfied with the redesigned project and can support I) the findings to grant the noted variances (rear setback and loading/unloading area), 2) the findings to grant the reduced front and side setbacks, and 3) the finding that the parking standard for elementary schools has been appropriately applied to the project. The attached resolution has been submitted to approve the major redevelopment permit for the project. If the Commission is unable to make the findings for the variances or the reduced standards, or finds the parking to be unacceptable, then the City Attorney should be instructed to return with an appropriate resolution with findings to denv the project. Staff Recommendation The facility as redesigned does meet the minimum standards for setbacks and parking. Staff can then recommend that the project be approved with the findings noted above. If the Commission, however, does not believe that adequate justification has been provided for the subject variances (for setback which exceeds the range and the off-site loading/unloading area) or that the suggested parking standard is inappropriate, it is staffs recommendation that the Commission deny the requested major redevelopment permit. 6 AB# 305 Page 7 An alternate action is to require the applicant to redesign the project with specific instructions to provide the loading/unloading area on site and/or to provide additional parking which would further reduce the size of the building. Under this alternative, Staff would continue to support granting of the variance for the setback which exceeds the standard range because this is a problem only because an error was made in preparation of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. Staff is intending to take action to correct this error as soon as possible. If the Commission does, in fact, make the decision to approve the project as redesigned by the applicant, Staff is recommending that the following conditions be approved to restrict operation of the facility. These conditions are set forth below and within the attached resolution: 1. The applicant (Join Hands) shall be allowed to construct the building with interior improvements to provide for only one floor under this permit. This restriction shall allow for a maximum of 6775 square feet of building space. Join Hands shall be required to submit a separate application for an amendment to this permit, or a new redevelopment permit, at a later date if a decision is made to expand the interior space to a second floor, adding a maximum of 2925 square feet of building space to the existing facility. The applicant shall not be allowed to expand without prior approval of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. 2. The use of the facility shall be for regular and routine activities designed for low income youths and teens only and no other use shall be permitted. The applicant shall not be allowed to conduct any type of special event, including dances, fund raising activities and/or other activities, at the subject facility. The facility shall not be used at any time for adult activities, or activities which will bring large numbers of adults to the site. The facility shall also not be leased for any private, non-organization activity at any time. 3. The hours for operation of the facility shall be limited to Monday through Friday, 3pm to IOpm and Saturday, 8am to IOpm. No youths may-remain in, or around, the facility after the noted hours of operation. 4. The applicant shall ensure that full-time adult supervision is provided at all times during the hours of operation noted above. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Planning Department conducted an environmental review of the original project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said review, a Negative Declaration was issued for the subject project by the Planning Director on September 19, 1997 and made available for public review. No comments were received on the environmental document. The Design Review Board recommended approval of the Negative Declaration for this project through adoption of Design Review Board Resolution No. 259. The redesign of the project reduced the scope of the project and no new environmental impacts have been identified. Therefore, no additional environmental analysis is required. The attached Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution approves the original Negative Declaration. FISCAL IMPACT: In past years, the City has approved this proposed facility for public facility (acquisition and construction) funding through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) AB# 305 Page 8 Program. To date, the City has approved the Join Hands organization for $82,000 in CDBG funds for property acquisition for a new youth facility. The site of the proposed project was purchased by Join Hands with the noted CDBG funds. In addition, the City Council has approved $217,000 to date in CDBG funds for construction of a new youth facility. No expenditure of funds from the City of Carlsbad General Fund or the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency is authorized by approval of the subject permit. While the project itself will have very little financial impact on the City or the Redevelopment Agency due to the non- profit status of the applicant (Join Hands), the project may serve as a catalyst for other private improvements in the area, either through new development or rehabilitation of existing buildings. The proposed project does provide for development on a currently vacant, blighted site and will provide for a social/ recreational facility for youths in.the neighborhood. EXHIBITS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Housing and Redevelopment Commission concurs with the Design Review Board’s recommendation for approval of a Negative Declaration for the subject project and the Commission has determined that the project will have no significant environmental impact. The redesign of the subject project reduced the scope of the project and no new environmental impacts have been identified. Therefore, no additional environmental analysis is required. The Commission has approved the Negative Declaration issued for the project on September 19, 1997. The Project qualifies as a Major Redevelopment Permit with requests for variances under Chapter 21.35 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code because the project involves new construction of a building , or addition to an existing building, with a building permit valuation which exceeds . $150,000. The Project is not located within the Coastal Zone. Therefore, no Coastal Permit is required. The Project is determined to be consistent with the land use plan, development standards, design guidelines and other applicable regulations set forth with the Village Redevelopment Plan and Village Master Plan and Design Guidelines, with approval of the following required findings to allow for variances for the rear setback that exceeds the standard range and the off-site loading/unloading area for participants: a) The application of certain provisions of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual and the Carlsbad Municipal Code will result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships which would make development inconsistent with the general purpose and intent of the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan. A need has been publicly expressed for additional youth activities within the community which will provide a diversion to gang activities and other activities which may have an adverse impact on the community. The requested variances are necessary in order for the developer to construct a youth facility which is appropriate for the type of programs to be offered to youths within the neighborhood. The rear setback which exceeds the standard range is necessary to accommodate the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 HRC Resolution No. 3 OS Page 4 parking required at the rear of the property. This is desired and encouraged by the Village Master Plan for projects located on Roosevelt Street. Without the variance, the project would not be able to provide the required parking at the rear of the project. As related to the off-site loading/unloading area, the Commission finds that the off- site location will not impede vehicular traffic or create conflicts with pedestrians. In addition, the proposed project is located mid-block in an area where vehicle speeds are lower and the street is wide enough to accommodate the off-site loading/unloading area. b) 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 standard, restrictions, controls. The proposed project represents a unique use with unique circumstances. Because the project provides for a facility which is not typical in terms of other commercial buildings in the area, there are certain facility design requirements such as the rear setback and on-site loading/unloading area which present a conflict for the developer in terms of the programs to be offered within the subject facility. It is desired that the parking be provided at the rear of the site to prevent conflicts with pedestrians in the area. Without the required rear setback variance, the developer could not provide the parking at the rear of the site. Because of the nature of the programs to be offered by the developer, there are also exceptional circumstances which result in less need for an on-site loading/unloading area. The participants will arrive at differing times throughout the afternoon and evening, which is much different than an elementary school where students are arriving basically at the same time in the morning and leaving at the same time in the afternoon and creating a much more significant potential for traffic conflicts. A majority of the participants in the Join Hands programs will be arriving as pedestrians or bicycle riders. The Commission finds that the exceptional circumstances due to the type of programs provided by the developer justify a variance from the subject development standards. c) The granting of a variance will not be injurious or materially detrimental to the public welfare, other properties or improvements in the project area. The rear setback which exceeds the standard range will not be detrimental because it allows the parking to be located to the rear of the site, which will actually eliminate conflicts with pedestrians using Roosevelt Street. There is very little pedestrian activity on Tyler Street, which is located to the rear of the property. The off-site loading and unloading area will have no detrimental impact on surrounding properties due to the already existing mixed use nature of the land uses within the area. Employees of surrounding businesses will generally arrive at work prior to the opening of the youth facility and will leave the businesses prior to the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 HRC Resolution No. 30s Page 5 highest anticipated usage period for the youth facility. The youth facility use hours are at off-peak hours in terms of commercial compatibility and will provide for closure at an hour which should have minimal impact on the neighboring residential. d) The granting of a variance will not contradict the standards established in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual because those standards were intended to be somewhat flexible in order to encourage diversity and variety. The granting of the subject variances will not contradict the standards set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual because the project has been designed in a manner consistent with the pedestrian orientation which is desired for the area and set forth as an objective of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. There is adequate area to the rear of the proposed building (within the public right-of-way, off of Tyler Street at the sidewalk curb) to allow for participants to be dropped off and picked up safely without having a detrimental impact on traffic flow within the area. These conditions are all consistent with the standards set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. e) The project is in a location where adjacent buildings are setback further than the permitted standard (range), adjacent buildings are likely to remain, and setting the structure back to the desired standard will maintain and reinforce the Village character of the area. The subject property is in a location which has varying setbacks. To the north, the residential units have varying setbacks. To the south, the commercial property is setback in the rear by nearly 77 feet. It is expected that these buildings will remain for many more years. The larger rear setback allows for a private outdoor patio and a rear parking lot, which are both desirable features of the project. f) The project is in a location which is in a transition area to residential development and where increased setbacks would soften the visual transition between commercial and residential development or would protect the livability of the residential development. The project is located in a very mixed use area with a gradual transition into residential. The proposed project serves as a “bridge” between the uses in terms of the mixed setbacks. The increased setback in the rear will help to create an appropriate transition from the residential to the north to the commercial property to the south. 5. The Project has been determined to be consistent with the land use plan, development standards, design guidelines and other applicable regulations set forth with the Village Redevelopment Plan and Village Master Plan and Design Guidelines, with approval of the findings noted above to grant the requested variances. The following required findings will allow for the reduced front and side yard setbacks, to six (6) feet and the minimum of five (5) feet (of the acceptable range), respectively: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 HRC Resolution No. 30.5 Page 6 a) The reduced standard will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. The project is located in an area which has a mix of uses, both commercial and residential. The commercial property to the south has a similar (5 feet) front setback. The residential property to the north is setback approximately 15 feet from the property line. The reduced front setback will have no adverse impact on the residential property to the north or the commercial property to the south. This setback allows for more pedestrian interaction which is desired for both this facility and the area in general. The commercial property to the south has no side yard setback on the side of the property which is adjacent to the subject property. Any new building on the adjacent sites, however, will have the same minimum side yard setback requirement (5 feet). b) The reduced standard will assist in developing a project which meets the goals of the Village Redevelopment Area and is consistent with the objectives for the land use district in which the project is to be located. The reduced standard is necessary in order to allow the developer to construct a building which can provide needed services to the youths of the area. It allows for a more visually appealing design and assists in the effort to create a facility which is an appropriate size to accommodate the desired activities. C) The reduced standard will assist in creating a project which is interesting and visually appealing and reinforces the Village character of the area. The project design is consistent with the guidelines for the Village. The reduced setbacks provide for appropriate articulation in the building which assists in the effort to make the building visually interesting and more appealing. 6. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission finds that the applicable parking requirement for the proposed project shall be the same as that applied to elementary schools, as set forth within Chapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The project shall provide for a total of three parking spaces which meets the applicable standard for elementary schools under the representation of the developer that only two (2) employees will be employed at the facility. The required loading and unloading area shall be provided at the curb off of Tyler Street, to the rear of the subject project. The Commission has determined that the loading and unloading area to be provided off of Tyler Street at the sidewalk curb is acceptable and meets the intent of the applicable parking standard. The applicable findings, as noted above, have been made in order to grant a variance to allow the loading/unloading area to be provided off-site. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 HRC Resolution No. 30 .s Page 7 GENERAL PLAN AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT FINDINGS: 7. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein is in conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the following: a) That the General Plan identifies the “Village” and references the Village Master Plan and Design Manual as the appropriate land use plan for the area. The project is consistent with the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan and the Village Master Plan and Design Manual, effective as of January 12, 1996, with approval of the requested variances, because it will provide for a land use (youth facility) which supports the residential units within Land Use District 5 of the Village Redevelopment Area. b) That the existing streets can accommodate the estimated ADTs and all required public right-of-way has been dedicated and has been or will be improved to serve the development. The pedestrian spaces and circulation have been designed in relationship to the land use and available parking. Pedestrian circulation is provided through pedestrian-oriented building design, landscaping, and hardscape. Public facilities have been or will be constructed to serve the proposed project. The project has been conditioned to develop and implement a program of “best management practices” for the elimination and reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are transported within storm drainage facilities. c) The proposed project will not have an adverse impact on any open space within the surrounding area. The project is being developed on a vacant lot which has appropriate zoning for a youth facility. The project is also consistent with the Open Space requirements for new development within the Village Redevelopment Area. d) The proposed project has been conditioned to comply with the Uniform Building and Fire Codes adopted by the City to ensure that the project meets appropriate fire protection and other safety standards. e) The proposed project has been exempted from paying public facilities fees because the developer is a non-profit organization. 8. The project is consistent with the City-wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the applicable local facilities management plan, and all City public facility policies and ordinances since: a) The project has been conditioned to ensure that building permits will not be issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ia 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 HRC Resolution No. ?0 7 Page 8 project unless sewer service remains 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 this project. b) All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as conditions of approval. 9. The project has been conditioned to pay any new construction 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 Municipal Code, which are applicable to the project. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities. 10. This project has been conditioned to comply with any applicable requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1. Il. The project is conditioned to comply and remain consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual, adopted by City Council Resolution No.90-364. 12. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or 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.

SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The summary of environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact,” or “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. q Land Use and Planning 0 Population and Housing 0 Geological Problems El Water w Air Quality q Transportation/Circulation 0 Public Services q Biological Resources /-J Utilities & Service Systems 0 Energy & Mineral Resources 0 Aesthetics El Hazards cl Cultural Resources cl Noise cl Recreation 0 Mandatory Findings of Significance Rev. 03/28/96 26 DETERMINATION. (To be completed by the Lead Agency) El cl q cl q I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An Negative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Therefore, a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared. Planner Signature Date 2 Rev. 03/28/96 27 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration. l A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A “No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. a “Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted general standards and policies. l “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. a “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. l Based on an “EIA-Part II”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, but @J potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration, including. revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prior environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional environmental document is required (Prior Compliance). l When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR. l A Negative De&ration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. 3 Rev. 03/25/96 I , . . 0 If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, and those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this case. the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared. 0 An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and including but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than significant; (2) a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II analysis it is not possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a level of significance. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under DISCUSSION. OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. 4 Rev. 03/25/96 Issues (and Supporting Information Sources). I.

Section 15063(c)(3)(D 9 Rev. 03J28l96 - .-. :. -- . I i DTSCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION GENERAL: The project is the construction of a single building less than 10,000 square feet. The site is zoned for commercial development and is vacant. Development of the site will not require significant modification to the land. There are no natural or historical significant resources onsite, therefore there will be no significant impacts due to development of the property. The development will not create significant impacts. There will not be a significant increase in traffic from the .use in that most users will not be of driving age. Noise will be contained within the structure, no hazardous materials will be used or stored onsite, the project will be constructed according to the requirements of a redevelopment permit which included review of the building for aesthetic compatibility in the existing neighborhood. AIR OUALITY: The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle miles traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactive organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are the major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since the San Diego Air Basin is a “non-attainment basin”, any additional air emissions are considered cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to buildout as proposed in the updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air quality of the region. To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan buildout, a variety of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisions for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measures to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demand Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mass transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5) participation in regional growth managemen? strategies when adopted. The applicable and appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval. Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is located within a “non-attainment basin”, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for air quality impacts. This .“Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan’s Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of air quality impacts is required. This document is available at the Planning Department. 10 Rev. 03/28/96 CIRCULATION: The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely impacted by regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These generally include all freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections are projected to fail the City’s adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout. To Iessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan buildout, numerous mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include 1) measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to develop alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks, pedestrian linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation strategies when adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or State Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval. Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the failure of intersections at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for circulation impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan’s Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of circulation impacts is required. 11 Rev. 03/28/96 EXHIBIT 3 HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 295 DATED JUNE 2,1998 37 HOUSING ANu ktiDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AGENDA BILL AB# Jo0 TITLE.

I have since had several opportunities to interact with and observe Frank and the youths in his program. I have done school sports and pretournament physicals for them as well served as a ringside physician at several local matches. I have been impressed with Frank’s leadership by example and the genuine compassion that he has for them. This is evidenced in the care he takes in arranging their boxing matches and by the way they respond to him with respect and affection. Frank has -also tried to show his charges the value of an education ‘- and of service. He has brought a group of his youths to my home where they did some landscaping and were reimbursed at an appropriate hourly rate on four occasions. We fed them morning snacks and lunch and used the opportunities to discuss their plans and compare a person’s level of education and their probable future earning potential. I want to commend Frank for his selfless devotion to the youths of Carlsbad. It is very rare to encounter this level of dedication in life and I feel compelled to nuture and support it. I have promised - Frank that I would come forth with some economic support this year in addition to the usual logistical help. It is my hope that other residents of the city of Carlsbad will also open their hearts and minds to the promise of his program. Sincerely, Salvador G.

LEWIS, Chairman ATTEST: RAYMOND R. PATCHETT, Secretary Rav Patchett - Join Hands Proiect and CDBG Funds--Wm- W”-*-* .- All - ceive-Agenda Bern # tb?d s \ From: Debbie Fountain For the Information of the: To: Ray Patchett Date: 212199 943AM Subject: Join Hands Project and CDBG Funds ““YE/ Asst.CM-CA CC Hi Ray. Subsequent to your inquiry this morning regarding use of the C Project, the following information is provided. To date, the City Council has approved $82,000 for property acquisition and $217,000 for construction as. related to the proposed new Join Hands Youth Facility. Joins Hands purchased the subject site for the Youth Facility in 1995 with the cash provided through the CDBG Program. There was no need for Join Hands to obtain any additional financing for the purchase. Join Hands has been working since that time to design the facility and obtain approval of it for construction purposes. As a side note, Join Hands has recently requested an additional $200,000 from the City’s CDBG Program for Program Year 1999-2000. If approved, this would bring the total contribution from CDBG to $417,000 for construction of the facility. The City Council has approved the $217,000 allocation for Join Hands from the CDBG Program. However, no agreement has yet been executed for disbursement of those funds. This Agreement will not be presented for Council approval until the project is approved and the major redevelopment permit has been issued. Although no action is required tonight on the funding agreement, the Council may wish to provide direction on preparation of the agreement if the project is to be approved tonight. Staff will then return the funding agreement to the Council for final approval at a later date. There has been concern expressed that Join Hands should not receive the CDBG funding without some stipulation requiring repayment if Join Hands is unable to operate the facility for a given period of time. To address this concern, the Council may require that the funding be disbursed as a loan similar to the recent funding action for Catholic Charities which assisted them in acquiring the property for the La Posada Homeless Men Shelter. The funding may be provided as a no interest, deferred loan which can be forgivable after a designated period of time, and secured by the property. Per federal regulations for the CDBG program, the facility must remain as a youth facility or other eligible CDBG use for a minimum of 5 years. The Council could therefore require that the facility be operated as a youth facility for at least 5 years (or whatever period of time is deemed appropriate). If the facility is operated as required, the loan can be forgiven. If the facility is not operated as required, the loan will be a lien against the property which must be repaid when the property is sold or there is a change in title. A no interest, deferred, and forgivable loan would mean that the funding would in effect be a “grant” if the property is operated as required. If the facility is not operated as required, the funding becomes a loan (0% interest) which must be repaid at some future date in time. Approving the funding as a loan would allow the City some security in the event that Join Hands finds it can’t operate the facility as intended. The City may also wish to have the “first right of refusal to purchase” if Join Hands decides to sell their property. Let me know if you would like any additional information on this matter.

I am writing this letter to hereby declare that it is my intentions to volunteer my time, labor and skills to the impending construction of the JOIN HANDS - SAVE A LIFE facility on Roosevelt St. in Carlsbad. I have been a concrete mason for more than 20 years, and have worked on countless construction projects throughout San Diego, Riverside and Orange County. My expertise is focused on all facets of concrete foundations, and related phases of constructitin. . . I strongly believe in the concept of providing safe, healthy environments for youth who are at-risk to enjoy different types of recreation. The JOIN HANDS- SAVE A LIFE project has the potential to provide that kind of service to many young people. Therefore, I would like to donate my efforts to see this facility become a reality in any way I can offer my services. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at(760) 434-5602. “References upon request. Sincerely, Alfonso Ledesma Optimist Club- of CarZsbd INCORPORATED “7% Achievers” P.O.

Who is old enough to remember when it was otherwise? The baton is passed from school to club, and rarely, dropped. Professionals at the 2,100 Boys and Girls Clubs in the U.S. know that not all kids are good kids, but they believe that all kids have the potential to be good, given the op- portunity. Providing that opportunity is their business. To accomplish that, clubs have had to respond to the needs of contemporary society, and no need is greater than pro- viding constructive, attractive alternatives to street gangs in our big cities, and increasingly, in smaller towns. It’s not easy. Gangs are persuasive, enticing market- ers. They offer money, prestige, power and security. That’s what they offer. What they deliver is something else. But we know what that is. The problem is, once the consumer (the vulnerable boy or girl) has bought the package, he or she is usually stuck with the baggage. They enter into a lifestyle that en- snares them in a high-walled, closed circle of drugs, pro- By Fred Dickey, President Public-Interest Media miscuity, drugs, delinquency and violence. Educators will read this and sigh, “Tell us something we don’t know.” Okay. You may not know that the Boys 8z Girls Clubs of America have targeted gang membership and activity as something they believe their clubs can do something about in the form of a national gang intervention and pre- vention program. It’s en- titled “Targeted Outreach.” The project has been under- way for seven years at clubs across the country. Cur- rently, three clubs in St. Paul, Ft. Worth, and Ventura, Calif.,are funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, according to Frank Sanchez, Jr., director of delinquency prevention for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, based in At- lanta. Founded in 1860, Boys & Girls Clubs have traditionally served children by pro- viding civic virtue guidance, recreation and skills activi- ties for youth while providing a place for them to frequent Continued on page 11 II Paae Bovs & Girls Clubs... d Continued from page 1 cal school vir- and computer literacy, the program constantly pusaes self-improvement. . Job skills. other than street comers. While these goals reflect a simpler time, the clubs are trying to fit them into a more modem context by meeting the more specific needs of kids susceptible to the lure of gangs, he said. Targeted Outreach is the vanguard of that effort. For example, in St. Paul, Amy Maheswaran is case manager of “Getting Out,” the local version of Targeted Outreach which she manages with the cooperation of the St. Paul Police Department. She says, ‘This program iden- tifies and addresses the reason, and helps provide a road map to solutious. We help the participants find an identity other than gang member and provide a positive influence.” Maheswarau says that we can’t expect kids to turn away from gangs if they’re not provided with the tools to cope successfully with the stresses of everyday living. She points to six areas that she feels are essential to give kids neces- sary “survival” tools, and which her program offers: . Voiunteer service. Care is given to provide participants with first-job preparation, interviewing and job-search skills, and ca- reer guidance. l Life&ills. The importance of learning iudepentent living skills, how to stay free of substance abuse, learning to handle family stresses, and becoming equipped to deal success- fully in a social environment are coping skills that are emphasized in the program. l Recreation. You can’t be a happy kid without having fun;-and the Getting Out program attrempts to supply enough positive activities that the allure of the gang “excitement” will be sufficiently muted. l Tattoo removal. Believing that the satisfaction of “giving back” is essential to the those seeking to grow out of the gang experience, every program participant is required to per- form 20 hours of community service each month. l Education. In cooperation with a civic-minded St. Paul plastic surgeon and the police department, Getting Out has pio- neered a program where kx-gang members have their disfiguring” tattoos removed by laser surgery. All that’s asked in return is payment iu the form of community service and no further gang involvement.

Boys & Girls Clubs... Continued from previous page program that must compete with gangs for the favor of young people. “We must offer programs that attract high-risk youth by providing realistic and positive alternatives to violent gang behavior.” Targeted Outreach in its various lo- cal club programs has reached over 10,000 youth since it began in 1991. Local clubs are encouraged to innovate and spin-off projects that fit their own needs. Sanchez spends weeks on the road each year visiting local clubs to find out which programs need help and which are humming along. He then carries that information to other clubs. “We don’t dictate from national head- quarters,” Sanchez explained, “we lead and guide.” Respect for local autonomy seems to encourage initiative. For example, the Tustin, Calif. club, located in the middle of a nest of street gangs, has hardly surrendered to its environment. The club recently created Rids Cafe which provides snacks for hungry youth and also has generated jobs for kids in the local Targeted Outreach program. In summertime, the club ac- tivates a HOT (Help Our Teens) activ- ity which rewards volunteer efforts with free trips to Disneyland. In one sense, Boys & Girls Clubs are doing what they have always tried to do: develop good kids and help them grow into productive adults. The news is that the organization has avoided lapsing into stodgy bureaucracy, the “hardening of the arteries” that af- fects many older nonprofits. PROOF OF PUBLl .TION (2010 8 2011 C.C.P.)
