Item No. 0
P.C. AGENDA OF: October 2, 2013
Application complete date: June 26, 2013
Project Planner: Van Lynch
Project Engineer: Steve Bobbett
SUBJECT: CUP S(A) -THE WOMAN'S CLUB OF CARLSBAD -A request for approval of a
recommendation to rescind a Special Use Permit granted by City Council Ordinance No.
9117 and the approval of an amendment to Conditional Use Permit 8 (CUP 8) for the
Woman's Club of Carlsbad to establish additional restrictions on the use of property
located at 3320 Monroe Street, between Basswood Avenue and Linda Lane in the R-1
zone and located in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The City Planner has
determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301, "Existing Facilities" of the State
CEQA Guidelines and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7010 APPROVING a
RECOMMENDATION to rescind a Special Use Permit granted by City Council Ordnance No. 9117 and
ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7011 APPROVING CUP S(A) based upon the findings and
subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Based upon complaints to the city from neighbors surrounding The Woman's Club of Carlsbad ("Club"),
the city has initiated a Conditional Use Permit Amendment for the Club, located at 3320 Monroe Street,
to establish additional operating restrictions for the use of the property and facility to ensure its
compatibility with the surrounding single family residential neighborhood. The complaints include hours
of operation, noise, use of amplified music, the use of the property by other parties, and the sale of
alcohol. The city has received ongoing various complaints as to the operation of the Club over the years
and there are effectively no restrictions on the existing Conditional Use Permit (excluding the
prohibition on public dances).

and surrounding properties.

In March of 1961, the City Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 728 (see attachment 5) to modify
the zoning ordinance to allow a Condition Use Permit for the Club with a restriction that there are no
public dances. The Planning Commission, on April 25, 1961, recommended approval of a Conditional
Use Permit by Planning Commission Resolution No. 206 (Conditional Use Permit 8) for the Club (see
attachment 8). The City Council approved Ordinance No. 9117 for the Special Use Permit (should have
read Conditional Use Permit as all other documents) on June 6, 1961. The Club was constructed in 1963.
The surrounding single family homes were built in the mid to late 1960’s and early 1970’s.
This application includes a request for a Planning Commission recommendation that the City Council
rescind City Council Ordinance 9117 that approved the Special Use Permit for the Club. The Special Use
Permit is a typographical error as all the other documents related to the project refer to the project as a
Conditional Use permit. The Club is an existing non-conforming use and is regulated by the Conditional
Use Permit (CUP 8). Special Use Permits are used to implement the Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone
(21.40) and the Floodplain Management Regulations (Chapter 21.210) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
The Conditional Use Permit is the appropriate permit to allow uses which are not typically allowed in a
specific zoning district by right and include conditions of approval for compatibility purposes.
The compatibility of the Club with the surrounding neighborhood has been a concern from the date of
its original approval. The Planning Commission minutes of March 28, 1961 (see attachment 6) reflect
the same concerns that exist today of the compatibility of the Club and the use (rental) of the facility for
use other than the Club’s primary functions. The Club’s primary and own uses of the facility include
luncheon and business meetings, exercise classes, an annual Club holiday party and Club fundraising
events held and sponsored by the Club. The Club also uses the parking lot as a fundraising event by
charging money for parking during football and graduation events at the Carlsbad High School located
across the street.
Over the Club’s history, the Club has also rented the facility for a variety of uses which include: political
club meetings, prayer groups, worship groups, community theater (youth), comedy shows, family
celebrations and other various meetings, gatherings, and small parties. These events have resulted in
excessive noise from people and music, late hours of operation, large gatherings of people, security
concerns and concerns over the use of alcohol on the premises. A neighborhood petition requesting the
review of the Conditional Use Permit and other complaint letters is attached (attachment 14). Events
held are by invitation or by ticket sales and have not been open to the general public, except for the
charging of money for parking spaces for the high school events and an annual rummage sale. The
rental income of the facility is one of the primary fund rising opportunities for the Club.
The Club consists of a 4,782 square foot single story structure with 2098 square feet of assembly area.
The building is located on the front of the .92 acre site with an entrance driveway located in the
southerly sideyard setback and an exit driveway located in the opposite northerly sideyard setback.
There are 53 parking spaces in the back parking lot which include two light poles. The rear of the
building has a 1,800 square foot outdoor patio area. The building has an interior office, bathrooms,
commercial kitchen, storage room, and an open floor assembly area with a small stage.

III. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and standards:
A. General Plan Land Use Element;
B. Carlsbad Municipal Code, Title 21, Chapter 42 – Conditional Use Permits; and
C. Local Facilities Management Plan and Growth Management.
The recommendation of approval to add operating conditions for this project was developed by
analyzing the project’s consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. Therefore,
this section will cover the project’s compliance with each of the regulations listed above in the order in
which they are presented.
A. General Plan
Although the Land Use Element does not specifically address “conditional uses,” one of the overall
implementation policies of the General Plan Land Use Element is to ensure that the review of future
projects places a high priority on the compatibility of adjacent land uses along the interface of different
density (or use) categories. Special attention should be given to buffering and transitional methods,
especially, when reviewing properties where different land uses are involved. The Club is an existing
non-conforming use that was permitted in 1961 just prior to the development of the surrounding
residential neighborhood. As viewed from the street, the single story building is not out of character
with the surrounding neighborhood and is well landscaped. The site does have surrounding fencing
built of varied materials including wood, chain link with slats/matting/vines and masonry block.
However, based upon neighborhood complaints, the use, even with the existing surrounding fencing, is
currently not compatible with the surrounding single family uses because of its operations. The
proposed conditions of approval contained in the Conditional Use Permit amendment are proposed to
ensure compatibility with the uses permitted in the zone and its surroundings.
B. Conditional Use Permit
The original Special Use Permit was approved by the City Council with very little restriction. This
application is to add additional restrictions to assure compatibility with the neighborhood and to be able
to enforce the restrictions if they are not followed. The Club has a variety of uses that operate out of
the facility. As noted in the project description, the rental of the facility is the primary means for income
for the Club for its own operation and to fund their philanthropic endeavors. The rental of the facility is
however also the primary reason for the neighborhood complaints.
The Club is desirable for the development of the community as it provides for a location for women (of
all ages) to meet and socialize. The Club also performs a social need for the community and provides
support and funds for neighborhood projects and other groups. Attached to this report is a summary of
Club activities (see attachment 11). More information on the Club can be found at their website
womansclubofcarlsabd.com.
With the addition of additional operational restrictions, the Club should not impose any detrimental
impacts to other uses in the surrounding area. There have been complaints on the operation of the Club
in the past and the existing Use Permit does not contain operational restrictions other than to preclude
public dances. The new proposed conditions of approval listed in Planning Commission Resolution No.
CUP 8(A) – THE WOMAN’S CLUB OF CARLSBAD
October 2, 2013
Page4
7011 will reduce the impacts to the neighborhood and will establish operational criteria that will enable
the city to enforce the restrictions to assure compatibility.
The Conditional Use Permit includes a list of the permitted uses allowed to operate on or within the
facility. Only two of the uses are open to the general public (parking for high school events and one
rummage sale). Otherwise, all other uses are restricted to Club members, by invitation only by the
renter of the facility, or by the presale of tickets to a private event. The permit also includes operational
restrictions such as; users of the facility, hours and days of operation, maximum occupancy, required
attendance by a Club representative, restrictions on amplified and non-amplified music, entertainment,
alcohol restrictions, and site limitations and use. With these conditions, the use would not be
detrimental to the surrounding residential neighborhood.
The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the Club in that the required building setbacks
are provided, adequate parking is provided in the rear of the property, the site has adequate
landscaping, and the site is fenced. Additional public parking is available on the street.
Monroe Street is adequate in size and capacity to serve the Club. The site access is via two separate
ingress and egress driveways that do not conflict with adjacent properties.
C. Local Facilities Management Plan and Growth Management.
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest quadrant of
the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted
performance standards, are summarized in Table B below:

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15301, Existing Facilities, of the State CEQA Guidelines
and will not have any adverse significant impact on the environment. A Notice of Exemption will be filed
with the County Clerk upon approval of this project.

6. HEARING •. RESOLUTION OF INTENTION -Amendment to Ordinance 9060 allowing a
conditional use permit for the Woman•s Club
of Carlsbad's clubhouse on property located
on the east side of Monroe St., more partl~
cularly described as a portion of Tract 252
Thum Lands, according to a Map thereof No.
1681 1 in the City of Carlsbad.
Notice of hearing wae read, The Secretary certified as to publication of
notice of hearing and the mailing of notices to property owners in the area,
The SecretAry then read Resolution No, 728 of the Carlsbad City Council,
There was one item of correspondence oh this matter; petition protestina
_this amendment to Ordinance 9060, signed by 16 property· owners in the
inrnediate area of subject property,
MRS, B. M, CHRISTIANSEN, 2479 Ocean St,, stated that she wa ■ sure all the
COl!llliasioners knew what a need they had for a ct11bhouse and what efforts they
had made to find a suitable location, The club tnembers felt that rather
than being a bad thing for the neighborhood, that they w~uld enhance the area,
They have worked for the CO!m!Unity for many years and the club is many year■
old and a desirable organization for Carlsbad, The clubhouse will alao be an
advantage to other clubs of Carlsbad, She stated that they were cognizant of
the fact that there was a petition protesting their request and they understood
the petitioners feelings but clubs of this type have been given permission to
build in residential areas all ever California and she felt they should be given
the conditional use permit without any restrictions at all,
BOB FRAZEE, 3326 Monroa, stated that his property adjolns the subject property
and this is a residential and also a new and developing area, It is not a
residential &one where conmercial property is creeping in. In the neighborhood,
it is the consensus that the woman•s Club would be detrimental to the area,
There would not be any obje~tion to the W0111an•a Club meetings but they wuld
find it necessary to rent the building out for other uses and it would be a
comnercial thing, There are three lots which adjoin.this property and the
property owners would take a great loas financially, There were sO!Tle people
who did not care to sign the petitiGn but they also were not In favor of hav-
ing the clubhouse in the neighborhOOd,
MRS, CHRISTIANSEN stated in rebuttal that lf they are granted the conditional
use permit, the clubhouse will face on Monroe, The back of the lot will be
a parking lot and no one using the building IN>Uld have late meeting, so the
neighboring property owners would not auffer, There could be buffer planting,
There are many patio parties that create ss IIIUCh disturbance as anything that
could go on at the clubhouse. She requested that the petition be granted due
ta the fact that they had looked all over Carl,bad for suitable property and
had even asked the City to find thl!III property which could be exchanged for the
property they own in Holiday Park,
The public hearing was closed at 8 P,M,
HR, FRAZEE StRted that private dsncee were no 1110re quiet than public dances
and that the bullding would be about 20 feet from his bedroom window, They
did not feel that d~ytime meetings would be de.trlmental to the neighborhood,
MRS, C,S, GRfNGER, 3845 Skyline Drive, stated that she had told the ladles of
the club about the restriction the City Council had placed on the conditional
use permit and they had accepted lt, however the club would have to leaae·tbe
building to other orgenlzetlons and individuals at night In order to maintain
the clubhouse,
When asked the status of their purch~se of the property, Mrs, Christiansen
stated that It was still In escrow and would remain there until the matter of
the conditional use permit was settled, Mrs, Christiansen w~s also asked
what their plans had been with the City on the property they own at Holiday
Park and also If the city had purchased this property as yet, and she stated
that the plan had been that the Woman's Club would have priority on the club•
ho~se for Its meetings but the city could let it out to other clubs when they
were not using It and that the city had not purchased this property frCffl them.
There was some discussion as to how many memb~rs there were In the club and how
many of them lived In that area, It was also mentioned that the C011111lsslon
had rec01!1!1ended· th~t the City Council Initiate., a Resolution of Intention to
amend the ordinance by allowing this conditional use permit, A motion was made
by Commissioner Grant and seconded by CO!ll1llssloner Hardwldk that the members of
the CO!ll1llsslon study this matter further and continue It to the meeting of April
11,, 1961, Four ayes, two noes, motion carried,

Van Lynch, Senior Planner
City of Carlsbad Planning Division
1635 Faraday Avenue
Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314
Dear Mr. Lynch,
July 19, 2013
Thank you for meeting with us on July 3, 2013, along with Chris DeCerbo from
your office. We have received your email of July 9, 2013, with the written list of questions
the City would like answered regarding the application made to amend our current
Conditional Use Permit.
By way of background first, the Woman's Club of Carlsbad (WCC) was
incorporated in 1927 by the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), a national
organization for women founded in the 1890s to support education, improve working
conditions and reform other issues affecting women. The WCC's purpose back in 1927
was to provide philanthropic services to the residents of Carlsbad and nearby areas and
also to promote and provide social activities for the local women. WCC is the oldest social
organization in Carlsbad, but we are not just that. We are a group of dedicated women
who give of their time, talents, energy and money for the betterment of our community.
This past year alone, WCC awarded $5,500 in scholarships to Carlsbad women and made
other monetary donations of over $13,000. Additionally, approximately $20,000 ofin-
kind, noncash, contributions were made while our members logged close to 1900
volunteer hours. Please see the attached summary of our Club's philanthropic activities.
In 2012 the Junior Woman's Club of Carlsbad, a GFCW club chartered in 1975 by
the WCC, a club that met in the evenings due to work commitments, decided to dissolve
so the members could join the WCC and assist them in their efforts. WCC had been
experiencing diminishing numbers of members for many years as membership in grass-
roots charities seemed to be declining and with their members aging and/or passing away.
WCC was experiencing losses in not only membership but revenue from fundraisers and
rental activity and in 2010 was compelled to list the Clubhouse property for sale.
Members of the community rallied to save this Carlsbad icon from extinction, and a new
rental chairwoman and clubhouse maintenance chairwoman breathed life back into the
old building, fixing it up and renting out the facility more often for meetings and events.
Those efforts have resulted in WCC becoming profitable again and being able to
contribute so much back to the community.
3320 Monroe Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008
( You have asked the following questions:
1. List of functions the Woman's Club itself uses the facility for.
See Attachment A.
2. Typical hours of operation for Woman's Club related activities.
See Attachment A.
3. Number of members: 65 members.
4. Any qualifications for membership: None, only that_you be a woman.
No exclusions based on age, race, religion or level of education.
5. Club rules and/or bylaws. See Attachment B.
6. Philanthropic work the club provides/performs. See Attachment C.
7. Sample rental agreement. (Also available in Spanish)
See Attachment D.
8. Other users of the facility on a regular basis.
See Attachment E.
9. Square footage of building: City building file indicates 4,782 square
feet.
A new WCC Board of Directors just took office in mid-June and were surprised and
saddened to learn that some of our neighbors have been bothered by an increased level of
noise from our Clubhouse. It seems that the common source of complaints has been
Saturday night events involving amplified music. So far this year, the clubhouse has been
rented for Saturday evening parties ten times. These events are not unsupervised
teenagers running wild but are, rather, family celebrations (from babies to grandparents)
rich in cultural significance, namely Quinceaneras and baptisms. Our "party" renters are
limited to 150 guests, are now required to hire a security guard approved by WCC, and
have always been required to stop all music and amplified voices by 9:00 p.m. and to clear
the premises and parking lot by 10:00 p.m. Our rental manager lives close to the
Clubhouse and personally checks in on these renters to ensure these times are strictly
followed. Because we have been wrongly accused of not adhering to these time
restrictions, we have begun to keep records of these practices, including hourly decibel
readings at various areas in the par king lot along the fence line.
The Clubhouse was rented out on three Sundays in 2013: for a family graduation
party, a preschool graduation and a fundraiser for Rett Syndrome. These groups, in
keeping with our custom and practice, completed their events and vacated the Clubhouse
premises by 10:00 p.m. The Rett Syndrome fundraiser prompted a complaint resulting
in a visit from police before 7:30 p.m. due to a mariachi band on the patio. To attempt to
decrease the noise escaping into the neighborhood, beginning this June, we've added
extra indoor fans and have been more vigilant to keep the doors and windows closed along
the east side of the Clubhouse during parties, which a neighborhood representative once
admitted has helped. Deejays or bands are now instructed to turn down the bass on their
sound systems.
{
\
The Clubhouse facility is not only rented for parties. We provide a place for other
nonprofit organizations, a political club and worship groups to gather. We are proud of
the fact that we support the arts in Carlsbad by making our building available (at a greatly
reduced rate) to the Carlsbad Community Theater for their youth group rehearsals.
Students can easily walk from Carlsbad High School to their rehearsals and workshops.
We recognize our Clubhouse is located, as it has been for the past 52 years, in a
residential neighborhood, and we stand ready to make improvements and changes to our
facility to be a good neighbor. We are collecting bids to install air conditioning and new
windows on the east side of our building to minimize the noise emanating from the
Clubhouse. We are certainly open to other suggestions and recommendations from City
staff.
We have been attempting in good faith since June 18th to meet with our neighbors
to educate ourselves on their concerns and to institute some immediate measures to
decrease the noise, but as of the date of this letter, our neighbors have been unavailable
to meet, even when encouraged to do so by the City. It is our hope that the City can help
us establish some ground rules that everyone, including the Woman's Club of Carlsbad,
can live with.
While we understand some neighbors' difficulty at times with occasional music or
noise coming from our Clubhouse, we've been incorrectly accused and blamed for some
transgressions for which we had no responsibility. We have also had complaints of
innocuous things such as voices of people talking, playing, praying or enjoying a meal
together. It is our belief that these are normal, everyday neighborhood occurrences and
noises, and we should be held to no higher standard than a residential neighbor talking,
eating or playing in their own backyard. We have attached letters from community
supporters of WCC and from neighbors who are not bothered by our presence in the
neighborhood, our club events and/or rental activities. Some neighbors are even
concerned that they are being misrepresented by the group of residents who complain the
loudest about the WCC. See Attachment F.
Thank you in advance for your fair and equitable investigation and assistance in
resolving this matter and in working to establish reasonable guidelines. Please let us
know if you need any further information or if we can assist you and your staff in any
other way.
Sincerely,
~~

Dear Mr. Lynch,
l have recently become aware that you will be reviewing and possibly amending the
Conditional Use Permit for the Woman's Club of Carlsbad. Until recently, I lived above the club
house on Sea Crest Drive. In the many years that I lived in that neighborhood, I never heard
noise at any time from the Woman's Club, nor heard complaints from my neighbors in that
regard. I have been present at many of the fundraisers and community events at the clubhouse.
The evening events never go past 9:00pm.
I am a big supporter of the Woman's Club of Carlsbad and all of their philanthropic
endeavors. A few years ago, when the club house was in danger of being sold due to lack of
revenue, I became a liaison between the Woman's Club and the Carlsbad Junior Woman's Club.
This resulted in the two clubs eventually merging, bringing in younger members which has
enlivened the club, brought in rental revenue to keep the facility open for community events a.nd
enabled the club to donate more resources back to the community.
As a Board of Trustees member of the Carlsbad Unified School District, I know first
hand about the philanthropic work the Woman's Club does for the children of our community,
from college scholarships to bus passes and jackets to needy high school students.
I hope you will take into consideration the great value of the Woman's Club of Carlsbad
to our community while reviewing their Conditional Use Permit. Please feel :free to call me with
any questions you may have on this matter. 760 271 1356.

To Whom It May Concern:

Cartsbad Community Theatre (CCT) is a non-profit, community-focused theatre company celebrating 30
years providing high quality, affordable musical theatre for Cartsbad residents. The Woman's Club of
Carlsbad provides low-priced, ideally suited rehearsal space to CCT at their clubhouse on 3320 Monroe
Street.
CCT faced increasing challenges obtaining rehearsal and performance space within Cartsbad. In recent
years many theatre companies were formed in North County but theatre space remained the same.
Competition for those spaces was great. The loss of priority status with the Carlsbad Cultural Arts
Center, our original home, has resulted in the facility being closed to our use since 2011. We are, in
effect homeless. We often needed to book venues outside of Cartsbad for rehearsals and performances.
The Woman's Club of Cartsbad is a service organization committed to community improvement through
charity and volunteer work. We were fortunate to find their clubhouse was available and have become
long-term renters. Their $60 a day non-profit weekday rental rate provides a consistent, affordable
rehearsal space for our theatre company compared to other facilities in Cartsbad. For example, the
current Cartsbad School district rate is $45 per hour.
The Cartsbad Community Theatre's focus is youth programming. The Woman's Club of Cartsbad
provides a safe, contained facility, ideally located in a central Cartsbad neighborhood, close to schools.
The versatile WCC facility serves our rehearsal needs perfecUy. The large main room has a wood floor
for teaching dance. A grand piano is used for vocal training. The small curtained stage area is perfect for
staging small youth performances in a homey, welcoming environment. The facility also includes ample
off-street parking, updated restroom facilities and a carpeted lobby space for study breaks. These
combined elements cannot be found in other rental facilities in the Carlsbad area.
A generous grant from the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation allowed the CCT to establish the Showcase
Company in 2012. These advanced musical theatre students, ages 10-16, rehearse at the Woman's Club
every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30pm -5:30pm. Over the last year Showcase has performed at
Holiday at the Rancho, Halloween on Elm, the Rotary Oktoberfest, the Cartsbad Kiwanis Club arid more.
On Friday, May 17, 2013 we performed an original musical review "The Dorothy Effect" at the Woman's
Club. This performance was open to the public. Over 130 Cartsbad community members attended. An
additional yearly grant from the City of Cartsbad's Cultural Arts Office helps support ccrs general
programming.
Carlsbad Community Theatre is an excellent steward of the facility and surrounding neighborhood. We
follow all Woman's Club facility rental rules. We observe all city noise ordinances. The use of the
Woman's Club facility is vital to the success of our year-round programming of shows and workshops
providing education and entertainment for Carlsbad residents.
We respectfully request that the Woman's Club be allowed to continue providing rental space at its 3320
Monroe Street facility to non-profit organizations such as the Carlsbad Community Theatre.
Sincerely,
Laura L. Case

To whom it may concern:
As a neighbor or the Woman's Club of Carlsbad, I would like to e~press my·support of the Woman's Club and their
ability to continue to have rental events at their location. The events support the cost of operating the building
which is a wonderful thing to have right in our neighborhood along with the Carlsbad High School. Any music heard
during these rental e11ents has never been disturbing and certainly never as loud as the events held at the High
School sports field directly across the street. It is wonderful to know in our great city that within walking distance
you can hear, join in and enjoy the suburban life we all work for. From school age to senior age the events that lake
place ln our neighborhood are what make Carlsbad the great clty it is and the reason I moved cross-country some
years ago to live right here. The Woman's Club and the events that are held there bring life to neighborhood; do
not take that away from us.
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Lynch, July 17, 2013
As I went around to my neighbors here on Linda Lane and spoke with them about the Women's Club,
the overwhelming reaction was positive towards its existence and the way It Is operated. All I spoke
with were concerned that our neighborhood was being misrepresented as to how we feel about the
Women's Club. Please do not let a small number of people make a change In something that has been
so good for our community for years. Thanks so much!

Thank you for your ·letter of February 9, 1995 enclosing a copy of
the revised rules for the use of the Woman's Club of Carlsbad and
advising me that church use will cease on or before March 1, 1995
unless the church chooses to file an application for a special
use permit. Based on your representations and these new
regulations, I am referring the matter back to the Code
Enforcement Officer to monitor and treat this case for future
uses the same as any other code enforcement case in the City of
Carlsbad. I am also sending'a copy of your letter and its
enclosures to Assistant Planning Director Gary Wayne so he may
anticipate an application from the church for a conditional use
permit for church purposes.
I appreciate your cooperation and courtesy in this regard.

RE: WOMAN'S CLUB OF CARLSBAD
Dear Mr. Banche:
Thank you for your letter of December 27, 1994 discussing some
changes the Woman's Club of Carlsbad will voluntarily make in its
rules and enclosing a proposed.rental agreement. As you
explained, it is your position that the Woman's Club has been
operating within the permissible parameters of their conditional
use permit. In addition, the proposed rental agreement provides
that all activities must cease on or before 10:00 p.m. and that
no music is allowed after 9:00 p.m. It expressly provides that a
renter will lose his or her deposit if the police are called to
any activity.
Additionally, the members have taken it upon themselves to visit
every residence located immediately adjacent to its facilities
giving those residents a phone number to call in the event a
disturbance occurs or if any rubbish is thrown into a neighbor's
yard, You have assured me that the Woman's Club will conduct its
affairs .in compliance with the noise ordinances of the City and
that they will be monitoring noise levels.
The Woman's Club will further modify its rules based on its
review of the rules of the Garden Club in Rancho Santa Fe,
I believe these voluntary changes will help reduce the frequency
of complaints the City receives regarding activities occurring at
the Woman's Club. However, after reviewing the history of this
matter, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to put
these rules in writing in the CUP. As you know, the existing CUP
was the first one granted in the history of the City. It
contained only one condition that public dances not be held on .
the premises. It was apparently granted on the representation
that your clients would be good neighbors, their uses would not
t {, ' i
interfere with any of the adjacent uses of property, and that the
development of such a facility would be of benefit to the entire
community. The number of complaints contained in this file
indicate that your clients have not consistently adhered to all
of them. This indicates a need for more certainty in the conduct
of your clients• affairs.
It is my understanding that your client allows church services to
be conducted at its facilities every Sunday afternoon. While
churches are allowed in all zones in Carlsbad, they must obtain a
cup. (CMC §21.42.0l0(2)(A)). If your client wishes to continue
this use, it must apply for an amendment to its existing CUP.
Finally, the scope of "Woman's Club activities" is not clearly
defined in any of the documents I have reviewed in.this matter.
Indeed, it is probably the reason for the discussions we have
been having as to whether or not a particular use is allowed at
all. Under the circumstances, I respectfully request that your
clients apply for an amendment to their existing CUP. I will ask
Code Enforcement to refrain from taking steps to administratively
revoke the existing CUP provided your clients apply for an
amendment to it by February 1, 1995.
I appreciate your cooperation and courtesy in this regard.

RE: THE WOMAN'S CLUB OF CARLSBAD, 3320 Monroe Street
Dear Mr. Banche:
Thank you for your letter to the City's Code Enforcement Officer dated August , 6, 1994.
'Ne have postponed-responding to your letter as a courtesy because it is our -
understanding that you have been out of the country for the iast month.
'Ne recognize that the Club might l:>e thE:l oldest social organization in Carlsbad, and their
eleemosynary activities _are appredat~ by many. However, it has come to our attention
that the operation of the Club is currently in violation of the use psrrnit granted by the
City Cou:1cil: Conditional Use PermitNo.8 (CUP No. 8) does not pem1it any activities
beyond the scope of a private woman's c!ul;:>,13uch as renting of the facilities to outside
~-Furthermore, any uses similar to pLil:l"!iq::8ances, such as parties with loud music
and :aroe numbers of people are prohibited urider the terms of the CUP condifiori1hat
P[_9hibit:;; public danc~.
You should note that the City has received complaints that the property is being used
for chun~h SP.rvice.c;, ;.>arties, wEddings and uses other than that of a wom2.n's club. As
you know, churr;n services are only permitted by a CUP that specifically allows such uses
a,1d there 1s no CUP for ttiat use o,~eretore, please be advised tRat
Woman's C1ub must 1mrned1ately cease tl'ie rerifal and use of the property f~
services, parties, weddings, and u::;es otl'fer thar'ftl 1at of a woman's club. Please regard·
this letter as an official notice of v1olatJon. ~
As an alternative,. the Club may sub;·,1!t an application for a CUP amendment to include
church ser✓ices, rental fo; parties and weddings, and other possible uses. While an
appliC3.tion is in process, t'le City wi!! suspend action ·on the violation. If the Woman's
Club decides to amend its current CUP, it will ha.Ve to submit an application to· the
Planning Department by November 7, 1994.

3320 MONROE STREET: WOMAN'S CLUB OF CARLSBAD
It has come our attention that activities, not
necessarily directly related to the Woman's Club
of Carlsbad, are impacting the residential quality
of the surrounding neighborhood. These activities
are evening receptions, dances, and Sunday Church
services. These activities have created noise and
parking problems for the neighborhood.
The Woman's Club of Carlsbad has been allowed in the
past to operate in a residential zone under a
Conditional Use Permit (C.U.P.). Conditional Use
Permits are generally reviewed every five (5) years
or so. The Planning Department also reivews C.U.P.1 s
due to complaints filed against the uses. A C.U.P.
can be resended at the time of review.
Please contact J'Je at 438-5689 so we can inforr.1ally
resolve this matter.

Subject: Letter from City regarding carlsbad Woman's Club 3320 Monroe, carlsbad
Debbie,
I am forwarding a copy of a detailed letter sent to the Woman's Club by Ronald Ball. It is very disturbing to know
that this issue was addressed in the past. Not only was this addressed, but it was handled be the same person now
in office, City Attorney Ronald Ball. I do 'nave other correspondence that for some reason, the city did not.'keep on
file. I will forward them in a separate email.
I would like to point out that the measures taken by the dub, back in 1995,.in an attempt to resol.ve these issues
have not been successful. The telephone provided by the Woman's Club is never answered, when calls are returned
(if they are), we get the 90 decibel response. ·
The issue is not the beginning or end time of these events ,it is the amplified noise level during these functions.
I notice that this letter also addressed the used of the facilities for ch·urch and the need for a separate CUP.
(CMC 21.42.010.(2)(A). I would like to point out that there are church functions held at the'club. There is one that
took place for several weeks during the summer. Beginning at sun down and ending somewhere between 11:00 and
11:30, with loud prayer and chanting, that kept several of us awake. Weekly church functions do continue. The club
does seem to be in violation of compliance with the request made in 1995. These issues did not go away, they were
ignored, and requests for complionce were disregarded by the woman's club.
The City did not follow through to ensure that the development benefit and enhance the neighborhood, as was it's
intent (according to Mr. Ball). The Carlsbad Woman's Club is definitely not a "good neighbor"
The City Attorney gave the Woman's Club a deadline of February 1, 1995, to comply with a request to apply for a
new CUP or face an administrative revocation of the existing CUP. We request that the city once again, please pick
up where It left off and this time follow through to a resolution. A new CUP is definitely in order.
I thank you In advance for your assistance and prompt attention to this matter.
Respectfully yours,
Maria Villasenor-Curry

RE: WOMAN'S CLUB OF CARLSBAD
o·ear Mr. Banche:
PAGE Bl/02
Thank you for your letter of December 27, 1994 discussing some
changes the Woman's Club of Carlsbad will voluntarily make in its
rules and enclosing a proposed rental agreement. As you
explained, it is your position that the Woman's Club has been
operating within the permissible parameters of their conditional
use permit. In addition, the proposed rental agreement provides
that all activities must cease on or before 10:00 p.m. and that
no music is allowed after 9:00 p.m. It expressly provides that a
renter will lose his or her deposit if the police are called to
any activity,
Additionally, the members have taken it upon themselves to visit
every residence located immediately adjacent to its facilities
giving those residents a phone nnmber to call in the event a.
disturbance occurs or if any rubbish is thrown into a neighbor's
yard. You have assured me that the Woman's Club will conduct its
affairs in compliance with the noise ordinances of the City and
that they will be monitoring noise levels.
The Woman's Club will further modify its rules based on its
review of the rules of the Garden Club in Rancho Santa Fe,
I believe these voluntary changes will help reduce the frequency
of complaints the City receives regarding activities occurring at
the Woman's Club. However, after reviewing the history of this
matter, I have come to the conclusion that it is ti.me to put
these rules in writing in the CUP. As you know, the existing CUP
was the first one granted in the history of the City. It
contained only one condition that public dances not be held on
the premises. It was apparently granted on the representation
that your clients would be good neighbors, their uses would not
12/13/2012 10:29 7507200930 MARIA VILLASENOR PAGE 02/02
interfere with any of the adjacent uses of property1 and that the
develo~ment of such a facility would be of benefit to the entire
community. The nurober of complaints contained in this file
indicate that your clients have not consistently adhered to all
of them. This indicates a need for more eertainty in the conduct of your elients' affairs,
It is my unde:i;standing.that your client allows church services to
be conducted at its• facilities every Sunday afternoon. While
churches are allowed in all iones in ca:i;lsbad., they must obtain a
CUP. (CMC §21-42.010(2)(A))· If your client wishes to continue
this use, it must apply for an amendment ta its existing CUP.
Finally, the scope of· "Woman's Club activities• is not clearly
defined in any of the doc~ments I have reviewed in.this matter.
rndeed, it is probably the reason for the discussions )"e have
been having as to whether or not a particular use is allowed at
all, under the circtl11lstances, ! respectfuliy request that your
clients apply for an amendment to their existing cup. I will ask
Code Enforcement to refrain from taking steps to administratively
revoke the existing CUP provided your clients apply for an
amendment to it by February 11 1995.
l appreciate your cooperation and courtesy in this regard.

Debbie,
Thank you for your prompt reply to my email request.
While we are grateful for your efforts, I would like to clarify that the Carlsbad High
noise/traffic/parking/litter concerns and the Carlsbad Woman's Club noise issues are two
separate efforts, each worthy of their own individual consideration. While they bath impact
our rights to peace and quiet as tax paying residents of Carlsbad, each has its own distinct set
of stakeholders and should not be conflated under any circumstance. To do so dilutes the
importance of .each. I would appreciate it if in our dealings with the Woman's Club that we do
not complicate matters by involving the Carlsbad High issues. Clearly, Valerie and the Woman's
Club have no control or impact on the issues surrounding Carlsbad High, and I would hate to
burden them with these concerns.
What is at issue here and within the Woman's Club's control. however, is the noise and
disruption impacting the residents surrounding the Club's immediate area, as far as the noise
travels. As a resident living immediately adjacent to the Club, I can tell you that events begin
every weekend between 4-5 pm and usually end at 10pm, with the exception of a few religious
events that tend to extend beyond that time, and where people congregate in the Club parking
lot and continue their gatherings. Our largest concern is with the extremely loud music and the
thumping bass sounds that last sometimes more than 6 hours every weekend, on most
Saturdays and some Sundays. During these times, it is impossible to enjoy our homes or back
yards with our families; conversations cannot be had, and our music or television is almost
impossible to enjoy, without having to compete with the noise from these disruptive events.
We have a resident at the corner of Basswood and Monroe that has expressed the same
problem. The quality of life for families is at stake here, and I am hopeful that the City can
understand how very important this is, and how it negatively impacts us.
As a point of clarification, we contacted Valerie and Corrine Steiger, dub
president, via telephone and in person the weekend of October 13, 2012 and via email October
17, 2012,( I have attached a copy of this email) in an attempt to resolve this issue calmly and
amicably. We explained our concerns, and even provided examples to help humanize the issue
and gain her understanding. Several of my neighbor's elementary-and middle-school-aged
children, for instance, must sleep with ear plugs on the nights when the music is particularly
loud. Unfortunately, Corrine's response was: "90 decibels is what the City allows -we are being
good neighbors. You have to do what you have to do to get along." Valerie came to my home
Saturday evening and used a decibel measure. She determined that 90 decibels was an ok level
of sound.
From this and past interactions, it is abundantly clear to me that leadership at the Woman's
Club is neither reasonable nor sensitive to the neighborhood's concerns, and it is for this
reason that I do not believe that mediation is an effective use of our collective time or of
valuable and already strained City resources. To be quite honest, it appears that we are being
disregarded, disrespected, and our rights as tax paying citizens are being are blatantly abused.
Our request is that the City find a way to resolve this issue in a meaningful and decisive
manner. This is a residential area and not a commercial entertainment area. Simply put, if the
1961 guidelines do not apply or work in 2012, perhaps it is time to establish some more relevant
and pertinent guidelines and codes that protect the rights of tax paying citizens.
As you may be aware, this issue ls unfortunately a persistent one that our neighborhood has
been struggling with for many years naw. This issue was once addressed and the past board
members agreed to control the noise levels. I am in the process of gathering documentation
that I will forward to you shortly documenting these past efforts, which include the
engagement of a local attorney to aid in neighborhood efforts. Legal action and negative media
attention is not our preferred course of action, but it is an option we will be forced to consider·
should our requests for support and action continue to be inadequately addressed.
Sincerely,
Maria V. Curry

Hi Maria. Below is the email sent to the women's dub requesting a meeting to discuss the rental of
their facility and its impacts on the residents. I will follow up at the end of the week if I have not
heard from her.
As we discussed today, the women's club is not currently in violation of their permit issued in 1961,
and the City has no noise ordinance. Therefore, the City is not able to address the issues from a code
compliance perspective. However, I have made this a neighborhood services project and am going to
try and broker some type of agreement between the residents and the Women's Club. This is not an
unusual scenario. Many neighborhood disputes do not have a code compliance solution. We fairly
often must simply negotiate resolution to the disputes.

Re: Complaint regarding neighborhood disturbances related to the Women's Club property at
· 3320 Monroe Street, Carlsbad, Ca.
Dear Ms. Shine:
As we have previously shared with the Women's Club, our office as well as the.Police
Department has received complaints from neighbors regarding the Women's Club facility arid
routine noise disturbances from various events. The complainants have indicated that their
primary concern is related to the "loud music and thumping bass sounds" and related
disruptions from parties at the Club nearly every weekend, with music playing until 10pm on
the weekends, both Saturdays and Sundays. The Carlsbad Police Department has confirmed
that its officers have responded to noise complaints related to the property. The complaints
have continued during the past month regarding the noise levels at the facility, with concerns
expressed that these· disturbances are not appropriate for a residential neighborhood.
It is my understanding that the Women's Club is rented to private parties fur a variety of
events, as well as the Club itself has a number of events at the facility. The rental revenue .
provides funding for projects and programs to benefit Carlsbad residents and others, which is .
commendable. While we understand that the Women's Club does have a conditional use
permit (CUP) to allow for operation of the Women's Club and that CUP does not prohibit use of·
the facilities by other parties, it is my hope by contacting you and sharing the distress that
some of your neighbors are experiencing as a result of activities at the Club that you will be able
to take some actions to address the noise concerns.
The Women's Club has indicated that they do not allow the music and other noise to exceed 90 ·
decibels, and that this is a reasonable noise level supported by the City of Carlsbad. From a City
perspective,-! wanted to share with you that a 90 decibel level is not acceptable, and is much
too loud for a residential area. I have not found any city records which indicate that this was·
identified as an acceptable noise level for the Women's Club. According to sound experts,
prolonged noise at 85 decibels or higher can cause long term hearing loss. For protection of
public-health, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed the following acceptable
noise levels for neighborhoods: during waking hours-SSdB and during sleeping hours 45dB.
The City's Entertainment Ordinance regulating commercial facilities such as restaurants, bars,
etc. indicates that noise levels outside the facility should not exceed 65dB. Therefore, it seems

more appropriate to limit noise levels at the Women's Club to no more than 6SdB maximum,
with a preference for SSdB be.cause the facility is located within a residential neighborhood.
Although your permit currently has no noise level limits, it is my hope that you will agree to
limit the noise levels to at least 6SdB, and preferably lower it to SSdB during the week and on
Sunday.
The Conditional Use Permit for the Women's Club is subject to annual review by the
Community and Economic Development (CED) Department, and can be returned to the
Planning Commission for review during a public hearing at any time based on resident
complaints or other concerns regarding the oper-ations of the facility. This is what has been
requested by the complaining parties. Our office, however, is hoping to obtain a voluntary
concession from the Women's Club on the noise levels to resolve this matter. Please let me
know at your earliest convenience if the Women's Club is willing to agree to accept lower noise
levels in an effort to resolve this neighborhood dispute. If not, the CUP will be forwarded to CED
for review and for Planning Commission action as deemed appropriate.
Based on our day-to-day work experiences, we know that Carlsbad property owners are caring
and courteous by nature. They love the community and individual neighborhoods, and work
hard to ensure that the neighborhood remains a desirable place to own a home and operate
community-oriented facilities. Our goal in neighborhood services is to help improve
communications among neighbors and share information where we believe it might help to
enhance the quality of life for residents. Thank you in advance for your consideration of the
neighborsrequest to limit noise from the Women's Club facility. If you have questions, please
contact my office at (760) 434-2815.

As a resident of Carlsbad for over thirty years, I have enjoyed the hospitality of
the Women's Club of Carlsbad many times. I vote there and have attended
many events, both those sponsored by the Women's Club and by outside groups
renting the well equipped and maintained facilities.
The wide range\ of their charities-from many different educational scholarships
and volunteer activities at local hospitals, to the donation of cell phones and
phone cards for soldiers-is a credit to the comrnunity.
Since it keeps the club viable, I support the rental of the clubhouse for private
celebrations under the strict conditions the Women's Club leaders have
established.
Thank you for the opportunity to express my strong support for this venerable
Carlsbad institution.

Dear Mr Lynch,
I thank you for the opportunity to submit comments regarding the upcoming decision on the women's club
permit for usage. I live at 3285 Monroe St. We have Jived here since 1998. Since then we have experienced
increased crime, noise, trash and traffic in our area. The noise and traffic of persons unknown to are area are
our biggest concerns. We are directly affected. The noise carries from not only the evening events but the
church services in the morning. Please consider this, all week there are school activities, it is loud and
disruptive to our peace, then on saturday night there is an event at the Womens club till IO pm, which may be
early for some folks but as a RN on call who may have to get up in the middle of the night to respond it can be
quite late. On Sunday morning we are again summoned awake by praise music from the church/Womens
club. We have no time to enjoy our weekend, no way to escape the noise before the work/school week starts
again. It can be exhausting! As citizens we have the right to peaceful enjoyment of our property and
environment. Much of the activity that surrounds the use of the club is noise pollution. We ask that you limit
the use of the club to quiet day time activity and keep our neighborhood peaceful.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
The Democratic Club of Carlsbad-Oceanside has been a Woman's Club renter for two decades. Some of our
members are also WC members. We hope to continue meeting there for at least another two decades.
For nearly 85 years, the Woman's Club of Carlsbad has worked to raise funds for worthy enterprises. The present
recipients include Carlsbad High School scholarships, Palomar College nursing education, the Twin Vision book
program for blind children, restoration of the Cleveland National Forest, the Oz North County program for at-
risk youth, the Armed Forces YMCA, and North County Humane Society.
The Club's service work also includes making pillows and blankets for the Paul Newman Camp for seriously ill
children; and collecting useful articles for distribution to various charities.
At DEMCCO'S monthly meetings and annual fundraiser, the Club makes clear to us their rules of operation. Any
event renter is given the same guidelines. The Woman's Club is committed to the principle of being a good
neighbor.
The Club moved into its present clubhouse property in the late 1950's, very soon after Carlsbad High School
across the street opened its doors. This is an active block on Monroe Street. Prospective home buyers and
renters would clearly know that when they choose to live there.
DEMCCO, as a long time Woman's Club renter; asks that the City's CUP review include an analysis of the financial
hardships an amendment might entail. Costly improvements will filter down to the above charities as well as to
present and prospective event renters.
Thank you for giving this item careful consideration.
Sincerely,
Ken Clarence, President
