In answer to query regarding the policing of this
amendment, Chris Salomone responded staff would notify
anyone in violation, have a hearing and a court
appearance, and take action. Assistant City Attorney Ron Ball concurred with Mr. Salomone's explanation.
There was discussion whether this was City-wide or just
Redevelopment Area, with staff indicating this Board has no jurisdiction other than in the Redevelopment Area.
The suggestion was made this was a precedent-setting
situation and it might be well for the Planning
Commission to suggest this be City-wide.
Another point to be covered was the amount of right-of-
way the people could use.
be proper to have over 5o[x of the right-of-way encumbered-
-and in no case less than a five-foot width on the right-
of-way left clear.
It was suggested it would not
Staff clarified they were referring to food service only.
They were not including drinks or finger food. Other
facilities, such as walk-up windows and places for
strolling musicians should be checked into, but not
included at this time.
Board Member McCoy stated his concern about parking lots,
particularly where parking spaces have been eliminated to
build patios, and whether that type of thinq could be
controlled.
The Board discussed present parking and the consensus was
that restaurants should not eliminate any of their
parking spaces in order to provide outside dining.
Chris Salomone stated the downtown merchants favor the
outdoor eating areas.
Design Review Board directed staff to bring back an
appropriate amendment to the Design Manual to set up
guidelines for outdoor eating areas where there is food
Service.
DEPARTMENTAL:
1. RP 86-138 - BULLY'S
Request for a minor permit to allow the construction of
a 254-square foot wood deck at 2858 Carlsbad Boulevard.
Chris Salomone gave the staff presentation on this item
as contained in the staff report, using wall charts to
show the site and the proposed deck. Mr. Salomone
explained 259 square feet had been removed by the
demolition of the storage shed. With the addition of
the 254 square feet of wood decking, the applicant
would still be five feet short of the original footage.

In addition to the difference in square footage,
Bully's was conditioned to find additional parking by
this Board. They did that, and now have a total of 34
spaces onsite. Staff feels the deck would be an
amenity to the restaurant and should be approved, with
an added condition to prohibit meal service there.
Since the applicant striped 34 parking spaces, this
is now more than the requirement for the square footage
of the restaurant. Also, when the streetscaping is
completed, the area recommended for decking would be
completely useless as far as parking.
The suggestion was made to state drinks and finger food
would be allowed on the deck, but no meals; in other
words, no menu service.
Board Member McFadden inquired why there was no condition
on improvement of Grand Avenue. The parkway is not being
maintained, and she felt this should be included, as well
as widening the sidewalk and installing new plantings.
Also, the lighting in the parking lot should be checked,
and a trash enclosure installed in the parking lot.
Dave Hauser stated parking space W23 would not meet
standards, as there should be five feet before the
retaining wall.
counted as a parking space, and staff agreed that space
should be removed.
Board Member McFadden asked why that was
Nick Banche, 810 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, representing
the applicant, agreed with staff recommendation to
include Conditions #I and 82, and eliminate #3 and #4.
Mr. Banche stated in reading the Minutes, this Board did
not have an illegal use of any kind. This was a legal
use and he questioned whether conditions could be imposed
with regard to parking on a change of ownership. The new
owner tried to create more parking spaces, and now wants
to provide a convenience for people waiting to be seated,
instead of having to stand on the sidewalk.
In answer to Board query regarding whether the owners
would agree to join a parking district, Mr. Banche stated
he felt certain they would, but he could not commit them
without discussing the matter with them.
Design Review Board adopted the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 102, APPROVING A MINOR REDEVELOPMENT
PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 254 SQUARE FOOT
WOOD DECK GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF
CARLSBAD BOULEVARD AND GRAND AVENUE.
Additional conditions: Eliminate parking space #23 and
make a trash enclosure. If that does not work, use
another appropriate spot for trash enclosure. Parking to
be to the satisfaction of staff. No meal service included
on proposed decking; exterior lighting to be improved and
Grand Avenue to be improved.

DISCUSSION/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
2. OUTDOOR EATING AREAS
This item was taken out of order. (See page 1)
3. SANTA FE DEPOT PROJECT
Oral report updating the Board on the status of the
Santa Fe Depot Project.
Chris Salomone gave the staff report, using a wall chart
to show the depot and a transparency to show the site.
The project is out for bid at the present time, and will
comply with State architectural standards. The roof will
be replaced and the building brought up to code. The
State has decided the original Santa Fe colors are to be
used in painting the depot. This will be burgundy, cream
and green.
4. CASA BLANCA/REHABILITATION
Chris Salomone stated this was an information item, and a
transparency was used to indicate the site.
structure is in poor condition and the applicant is
proposing to rehabilitate the structure and intensify
use. He is asking this Board for direction. The project
will not meet parking requirements.
The
Mr. Salomone asked for the Board's feelings on
rehabiliting this structure, rather than redesigning the
entire site. He recommended staff work with this
applicant and allow him to participate in a parking
authority. This would be a mixed-use project, with
rental units provided.
The consensus of the Design Review Board was to allow this
applicant to proceed with plans to rehabilitate the
structure at 2685 State Street.
