AB 19,203
Council Member Hall and Packard stepped down from the dais at 6:24 p.m. due to a potential conflict of interest.
Housing and Redevelopment Director Debbie Fountain presented the staff report and reviewed a PowerPoint Presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
Presented Revisions to the Village Master Plan.
Gave Background of Redevelopment Plan. In November of 1995 adopted Village Master Plan. Master Plan and related policies together with Redevelopment Plan = Local Coastal Program for Village. Discovered Inconsisten or incorrect policies in need of revision.
Continuing the story of building an urban village.
stated that an urban village is where people can live, work, shop and entertain in area. An integration of uses.
Stated that Village is divided into 9 Districts.
District 1 - Village Center. District 2 - Office Support District 3 - Freeway Commercial 4 = Residential Support 5 = Mixed Use Support 6 = Service Commercial Support 7 = Office Support 8 = Residential Support 9 = Tourism Support
Fountain reviewed Village Public Projects in downtown area ($26 million spent in Village area).
Reviewed projects developed from 1981 through pending construction.
Review of Development Standards for Village recommended to address constraints.
Debbie reviewed current standards.
Currently setbacks range from 0' to 20'. Open Space of 20% is required. Parking varies by use. Building Coverage is 50% to 100% Height is 30 to 45'
Displayed projects built under existing standards.
Displayed proposed projects - Casa Cobra and Roosevelt TownHomes.
Economic Feasiblity Study indicated that property owners or developers have to have larger floor areas to offset construction and land value costs.
Our standards are comparable and possibly more liberal currently.
Reviewed Parking Requirements. Excessive Parking impacts can discourage alternitive modes of transportation.
Parking Requirements - determining appropriate amount of off-street parking is both an art and a science, and is done within a political context. Goals for the Village should be considered in setting parking requirements.
Design Review - should not be concerned solely with the external appearance of the built environmnet, but rather with how people actually use property. Ensure pedestrian friendliness.
Feedback / Study Findings - Parking requirements are difficult to meet. Density too low. Reduced setbacks and increased building coverage allowance desirable. Planned Development Standards are not appropriate for Village.
Proposed Revisions now reviewed. Setbacks - recommending districts 1 through 4 be set at 0 feet. 2nd, 3rd, or fourth floors must be set back. Increase building coverage to 100%. Hieght to remain the same in all districts (In district 1-4 and 9 - do not require roof pitch in new standards. Recommending in order to give more flexibility when designing projects.
roof pitch adds to appearance of building looking larger than it actually is.
Pitch to be encourage as a feature than a standard.
Recommending policy changes relating to parking requirements. Changing how to calculate parking required. Based on net floor space rather than gross floor space.
Allow parking credit for any existing commercial building on a site. Up to 15% reduction in parking for programs that support public transit.
Proposing to allow tandem parking for residential (all districts).
Creative parking solutions (all districts - as deemed appropriate).
Open Space Revisions - open space 20% - public or private. Wall heights limited to 6 feet. Eliminate Planned Development standards. Recreational or RV not to be permitted on site. Maximum Density from 23 to of 45 du/ac in Districts 1-4.
Density to remain the same in remaining (23 d/u for 5-9)
Minimum Density of 15 du/acrea in all areas.
Standards Modifications Projects being proposed: Additional density; reductions in parking. However, on case by case basis with evidence that modifications is financially necessary.
Proposing to allow modifications for development of Silver or higher LEED certification (green buildings).
Moficiations possible for affordable housing.
Comparison shown of District 1 now - refer to PowerPoint for information.
Explaining the difference between net and gross parking calculations.
Reviewed information on public parking lots = currently 668 public parking spaces. Current occupancy is at about 80% if using coastal parking. When coaster parking not being used - numbers are reduced to 64% usage.
Density Discussion - Increasing the number of residential units in the Village is good for business; more residents to shop in stores and use services. Increasing the number of residential units in the Village helps to create the desired 7/24 living environment. Increasing density may ultimately reduce the size of units and subsequently increase their affordability.
Displayed potential with existing and new standards of existing lots.
Reviewed the major differences in existing versus proposed standards.
Reasons for revisions - Provide more residential opportunities within the Village. Provide more customers for businesses in the Village. Increase opportunities for new businesses or expansion of existing business to serve the entire City. Enhance the attractiveness of the Village. Create fun and interesting people places.
Ms. Fountain reviewed public outreach efforts put forth for projects.
Clean-up of Master Plan language being proposed also.
Amend Chapter 21.35 - (see PowerPoint).
Recommending minor amendments to Council Policy No. 65 - addressing A-frame signage and banners.
Negative Declaration - an Environmental Review was conducted.
Design Review Board - recommended approval of Neg. Dec. and amendments to Village Master Plan and Council Policy 65.
DRB - also recommended " . . . Development standard modifications may also be permitted by the Housing and Redevelopment Commmission if 1) the applicant can provide acceptable evidence (see PowerPoint)
Reviewed staff recommendation on additional language.
Reviewed Council Actions for consideration.
End of Presentation.
Lewis - asked Mr. Ball - redevelopment expires in 2009? Will we need to re-adopt in 2009. Will need to continue or replace.
Lewis - asking in 2009 other densities could ask for different densities. Fountain - would recommend that Master Plan remain as regulatory document for area. How about Bario area per Lewis? Fountain - could they incorporate into boundaries of redevelopment area.
Kulchin - once redevelopment area set up could not be added to it? Fountain two issues - redevelopment area boundaries on map; however, when document expires in 2009 can be changed.
Kulchin - how would bario area be added? Fountain - would have to return to Council with a plan and re-set boundaries (would be a separate action).
Nygaard - building height? Maximum is 45 currently only way is roof pitch and parking on site now. Concern if roof pitch is taken away all roofs will be flat.
Fountain - once we determine project meets standards - recommending that the roof pitch is design standard than a development standard.
Try to encourage projects to be unique.
Nygaard - who actually makes decision on how building fits in and approval. Fountain - ultimately the Housing and Redevelopment Commission.
Nygaard - with regard to d/u change - if d/u increased - what will happen to parking? Fountain - each d/u will still need to meet their parking requirement for residential.
Nygaard - one way to meet parking is through park in lieu fee established in 1999 (make sure of the year!!!!).
Fountain - residential must be provided on site - not eligible for Parking In Lieu.
Lewis - the way it's proposed now going up to 45/d/u per acre - can increase upt to 950 more residences in the area.
Lewis - at least two automobiles per household. Fountain - traffic will increase - we don't think increase is un-anticipated. More vehicles - trying to give incentives for individuals for fewer automobiles. Acknowledging that parking requirement is not changed.
Will still need guest parking and residential spacing. Downsizing of units to change demographics - reducing family size as well.
Lewis - asking Mr. Ball - after 2009 can we have two more Council Persons on dais. Ball explained that must have majority of council to make action (normally two to one would be fine) However, in 2009 - will there be possibility of more participation - depending on who is on Council and whether - Packard and Hall will not be able to participate.
Ball explained that Redevelopment Law will not allow participation due to conflict of interest. After 2009 - depending on standards area being covered. Ball - for Organic Decisions that apply to entire village area (redevelopment area) prohibits participation if owns property.
Lewis - if we adopt the maximum building height is still 45 feet. Yes per Fountain.
Ball clarified - that voting will be dependent on public general. Lewis confirmed if you increase value of village - Council person's will not be able to vote.
Nygaard - do we have to take all issues at one time or can we look at each issue individually. Ball - said items can be voted on individually.
Kulchin - Thanked Debbie. Confirmed that in Districts 1 through 4 - residential must still require parking on site. Yes - per Fountain.
Lewis - a lot of things will not vote on because he needs more time.
Open PH at 7:47 Lori Boone, 3659 Skyline came forward to address the Commission and Council. Expressed Concerns - in support of "Village" feel. Most people made aware of Urban Village in summer of 2007 via Community Services Guide. Expressed concerns relating to parking also.
Ms. Boone asking Commission and Council to review parking.
Asking Council for more time to think through proposed standards.
Mark Tanner, 3612 Carlsbad Boulevard (outside of District 9). Thanked staff. What is problem being solved by new standards? Will have 2.4 times more people in area. Most likely more vehicles in Carlsbad. Opposes density being proposed. Would prefer pitched roofs. Parking concerns. Can live with tandem parking if individuals living in same residences.
Plan seems to be skewed towards developers.
John Simons, 2744 Carlsbad Boulevard, Suite 209, built Village By the Sea. See changes in Village that are good (referenced Entertainment Ordinance). Positive impact on neighborhood. Economics starting to suffer downtown. Would like to see more people in the Village. Spoke in support of the proposed changes.
Glen Schulty from NCTD - struggles with parking are not unusual. Plan that DF outlined is thoughtful and a way to address issues. Carlsbad Village has a great asset by having train station. Have worked with property owners and major employers to utilized transit programs to reduce parking requirements. Shared success with major employer who instituted transit program.
Mr. Schulty said NCTD wants to work with City to shift impacts of parking issues. Working on master plan to redevelop Carlsbad Village Transit Center Workshop on NOvember 6th at Senior Center. Lewis commented that you create most of the problems in downtown area because they park and grab train. Would like to see a parking garage.
Michel Babawal, Chamber of Commerce, Priestley Drive, spoke in support of design changes (referenced letter from CEO - on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
Ken Roush, 1810 Radcliffe Road - has office in Village came forward to address Council. Expressed concerns relating to proposed increased density.
Scott Malloy, BIA - Spectrum Center Drive, San Diego, came forward to address Council and in support of proposed changes. Proposed changes are consistent with zoning standards in other areas with successful Villages.
Chuck Curry, Faraday Avenue, came forward to address Council/Commission. Redevelopment Plan has limited lifespan - city is at disadvantage if does not adopt plan. City does not have a downtown element. Recommended housing near mass transit. Spoke in support of plan - suggested that City consider developer incentives other than parking in lieu fees. Force developers to provide lifetime coaster passes to residences.
Tom Young, SRM Development, spoke in support of proposed revisions.
Owns Trade Center Buildings - office building by lagoon.
Walt Myer, 4332 Stanford Street, came forward to address Council. Spoke about automobiles.
Lucinda Vein, 388 Hibiscus Circle, came forward to address Council/Commission. Spoke in support of proposed revisions.
Mariah Vible, present on behalf of family 3775 Carlsbad Village Drive, in support of revisions - want to make sure that access of joint lots that have joint driveways.
Revised language will encourage safety.
Soccorro Anderson, 351 Acacia Avenue, loves downtown area. Would love to see more people and participants in the Village - majority of traffic is not from people who live in downtown area.
Ms. Anderson spoke in support of proposed revisions.
Jodee Dixon, owner of Poached Pear on State Street, in full support of proposed revisions. currently struggling because there are not enough people on the street.
Lewis - progressive is in eyes of beholder.
Ms. Dixon - moving forward rather than sameness is keeping business owners in the village.
Kurt Burkhart, Executive Director of Carlsbad Visitors Bureau (listen for address). Having been part of the working group of Carlsbad Improvement Working Group - three phone calls from interested parties who would like to bring new concepts to village in terms of hotels. Survey reported that store hours were lacking - would like extended hours.
Close PH at 8:26 p.m.
Important Issue - would like to consider prior to decision - not ready to decide at this time.
Lewis - wants more time to decide.
Only willing to support 45 foot maximum at this time. Asking CM when it will come back

Parking Requirements - determining appropriate amount of off-street parking is both an art and a science, and is done within a political context. Goals for the Village should be considered in setting parking requirements.
Design Review - should not be concerned solely with the external appearance of the built environmnet, but rather with how people actually use property. Ensure pedestrian friendliness.
Feedback / Study Findings - Parking requirements are difficult to meet. Density too low. Reduced setbacks and increased building coverage allowance desirable. Planned Development Standards are not appropriate for Village.
Proposed Revisions now reviewed. Setbacks - recommending districts 1 through 4 be set at 0 feet. 2nd, 3rd, or fourth floors must be set back. Increase building coverage to 100%. Hieght to remain the same in all districts (In district 1-4 and 9 - do not require roof pitch in new standards. Recommending in order to give more flexibility when designing projects.
roof pitch adds to appearance of building looking larger than it actually is.
Pitch to be encourage as a feature than a standard.
Recommending policy changes relating to parking requirements. Changing how to calculate parking required. Based on net floor space rather than gross floor space.
Allow parking credit for any existing commercial building on a site. Up to 15% reduction in parking for programs that support public transit.
Proposing to allow tandem parking for residential (all districts).
Creative parking solutions (all districts - as deemed appropriate).
Open Space Revisions - open space 20% - public or private. Wall heights limited to 6 feet. Eliminate Planned Development standards. Recreational or RV not to be permitted on site. Maximum Density from 23 to of 45 du/ac in Districts 1-4.
Density to remain the same in remaining (23 d/u for 5-9)
Minimum Density of 15 du/acrea in all areas.
Standards Modifications Projects being proposed: Additional density; reductions in parking. However, on case by case basis with evidence that modifications is financially necessary.
Proposing to allow modifications for development of Silver or higher LEED certification (green buildings).
Moficiations possible for affordable housing.
Comparison shown of District 1 now - refer to PowerPoint for information.
Explaining the difference between net and gross parking calculations.
Reviewed information on public parking lots = currently 668 public parking spaces. Current occupancy is at about 80% if using coastal parking. When coaster parking not being used - numbers are reduced to 64% usage.
Density Discussion - Increasing the number of residential units in the Village is good for business; more residents to shop in stores and use services. Increasing the number of residential units in the Village helps to create the desired 7/24 living environment. Increasing density may ultimately reduce the size of units and subsequently increase their affordability.
Displayed potential with existing and new standards of existing lots.
Reviewed the major differences in existing versus proposed standards.
Reasons for revisions - Provide more residential opportunities within the Village. Provide more customers for businesses in the Village. Increase opportunities for new businesses or expansion of existing business to serve the entire City. Enhance the attractiveness of the Village. Create fun and interesting people places.
Ms. Fountain reviewed public outreach efforts put forth for projects.
Clean-up of Master Plan language being proposed also.
Amend Chapter 21.35 - (see PowerPoint).
Recommending minor amendments to Council Policy No. 65 - addressing A-frame signage and banners.
Negative Declaration - an Environmental Review was conducted.
Design Review Board - recommended approval of Neg. Dec. and amendments to Village Master Plan and Council Policy 65.
DRB - also recommended " . . . Development standard modifications may also be permitted by the Housing and Redevelopment Commmission if 1) the applicant can provide acceptable evidence (see PowerPoint)
Reviewed staff recommendation on additional language.
Reviewed Council Actions for consideration.
End of Presentation.
Lewis - asked Mr. Ball - redevelopment expires in 2009? Will we need to re-adopt in 2009. Will need to continue or replace.
Lewis - asking in 2009 other densities could ask for different densities. Fountain - would recommend that Master Plan remain as regulatory document for area. How about Bario area per Lewis? Fountain - could they incorporate into boundaries of redevelopment area.
Kulchin - once redevelopment area set up could not be added to it? Fountain two issues - redevelopment area boundaries on map; however, when document expires in 2009 can be changed.
Kulchin - how would bario area be added? Fountain - would have to return to Council with a plan and re-set boundaries (would be a separate action).
Nygaard - building height? Maximum is 45 currently only way is roof pitch and parking on site now. Concern if roof pitch is taken away all roofs will be flat.
Fountain - once we determine project meets standards - recommending that the roof pitch is design standard than a development standard.
Try to encourage projects to be unique.
Nygaard - who actually makes decision on how building fits in and approval. Fountain - ultimately the Housing and Redevelopment Commission.
Nygaard - with regard to d/u change - if d/u increased - what will happen to parking? Fountain - each d/u will still need to meet their parking requirement for residential.
Nygaard - one way to meet parking is through park in lieu fee established in 1999 (make sure of the year!!!!).
Fountain - residential must be provided on site - not eligible for Parking In Lieu.
Lewis - the way it's proposed now going up to 45/d/u per acre - can increase upt to 950 more residences in the area.
Lewis - at least two automobiles per household. Fountain - traffic will increase - we don't think increase is un-anticipated. More vehicles - trying to give incentives for individuals for fewer automobiles. Acknowledging that parking requirement is not changed.
Will still need guest parking and residential spacing. Downsizing of units to change demographics - reducing family size as well.
Lewis - asking Mr. Ball - after 2009 can we have two more Council Persons on dais. Ball explained that must have majority of council to make action (normally two to one would be fine) However, in 2009 - will there be possibility of more participation - depending on who is on Council and whether - Packard and Hall will not be able to participate.
Ball explained that Redevelopment Law will not allow participation due to conflict of interest. After 2009 - depending on standards area being covered. Ball - for Organic Decisions that apply to entire village area (redevelopment area) prohibits participation if owns property.
Lewis - if we adopt the maximum building height is still 45 feet. Yes per Fountain.
Ball clarified - that voting will be dependent on public general. Lewis confirmed if you increase value of village - Council person's will not be able to vote.
Nygaard - do we have to take all issues at one time or can we look at each issue individually. Ball - said items can be voted on individually.
Kulchin - Thanked Debbie. Confirmed that in Districts 1 through 4 - residential must still require parking on site. Yes - per Fountain.
Lewis - a lot of things will not vote on because he needs more time.

Glen Schulty from NCTD - struggles with parking are not unusual. Plan that DF outlined is thoughtful and a way to address issues. Carlsbad Village has a great asset by having train station. Have worked with property owners and major employers to utilized transit programs to reduce parking requirements. Shared success with major employer who instituted transit program.
Mr. Schulty said NCTD wants to work with City to shift impacts of parking issues. Working on master plan to redevelop Carlsbad Village Transit Center Workshop on NOvember 6th at Senior Center.
