Re: NCTD's Carlsbad Village Coaster Station Redevelopment (District 1) {city of
Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2023116
This memorandum provides information on a recent letter received from the North County Transit District (NCTD) requesting the city's involvement in a potential joint-use parking structure at the Carlsbad Village Coaster Station.
Background
NCTD has recently been pursuing efforts to redevelop their properties as a potential way of generating ongoing revenue for the agency. As part of that effort, NCTD is seeking to redevelop the two Coaster stations located within Carlsbad -The Poinsettia Coaster Station along Avenida Encinas north of Poinsettia Lane and the Carlsbad Village Coaster Station along State Street, north of Grand Avenue. The Council Memorandum dated January 19, 2023 (Attachment A) includes information and background on NCTD's efforts to redevelop both stations. As of the writing of this memorandum, NCTD continues their negotiations with the selected developers -no formal applications have been submitted to the city for processing.
Mayor Blackburn and Mayor Pro Tern Bhat-Patel, as the city's representative on the NCTD Board of Directors, received on October 31, 2023, a letter from NCTD (Attachment B) requesting the city's participation in developing a parking strategy (including a possible joint-use parking structure) that could benefit Carlsbad Village Station transit riders, future uses on the Carlsbad Village Station site, and businesses/visitors in the surrounding Carlsbad Village area.
Discussion
With potential parking challenges in Carlsbad Village, especially considering the recent passing of Assembly Bill 2097 (Attachment C), NCTD acknowledges that an expanded need for parking near and around the Carlsbad Village Station would ensure a more complete planning effort as part of NCTD's redevelopment effort. To assess opportunities to re-establish and/or address long-term parking needs, NCTD would like to begin discussions with city staff to identify goals and objectives for onsite, offsite, and managed parking options within the Carlsbad Village area, including the Carlsbad Village Station. As part of this discussion, NCTD would like to explore opportunities for a possible joint-use parking structure, potential alternative parking sites, and continued use of existing city-leased parking spaces.·
However, city staff currently does not have direction/authority from the City Council to initiate discussions as requested in the NCTD letter.

Re: City of Carlsbad -Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Projects Dear Mayor Blackburn and Mayor Pro Tern Bhat-Patel:
This letter is to update the City of Carlsbad (City) regarding the North County Transit District's (NCTD) planned redevelopment of the Carlsbad Village Transit Station as a mixed-use transit-oriented development project. NCTD initiated development efforts at this site on March 19, 2021, when it issued Task Order No. 06 to CBRE, Inc. (CBRE), NCTD's On-Call Real Estate Service Provider. Through CBRE, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on April 8, 2022. After a robust proposal review process, the NCTD Board of Directors approved Sea Breeze Properties and Fabric Investments, a partnership, on January 19, 2023, as the development team for the Carlsbad Village Transit Station.
The redevelopment footprint includes the following:
1. Approximately 0.75-acre area currently leased to the City for City employee parking pursuant to NCTD Agreement number 229.40-576-PK-CSBD (City Parking Lease)
2. Approximately 0.26-acre parcel leased to the City for the depot building and adjacent property pursuant to NCTD Agreement number 229.2-229.3-0521-
GL-CSBD
3. Approximately 0.44-acre parcel leased to the City for public parking pursuant to NCTD Agreement number 229.49-789-PK-CA
With potential parking challenges in the village, especially in light of the recent passing of Assembly Bill 2097, NCTD acknowledges that an expanded need for parking near and around the Carlsbad Village Station would ensure a more

In order to assess opportunities to re-establish and/or address long-term parking needs, NCTD would like to begin discussions with City staff to identify goals and objectives for onsite, offsite, and managed parking options within the Carlsbad Village area, including the Carlsbad Village Station. As part of this discussion, NCTD would like to explore opportunities for a possible joint-use parking structure, potential alternative parking sites, and continued use of existing leased parking spaces.
NCTD looks forward to collaborating with the City to jointly address the parking needs of both agencies and to ensure that the development of the Carlsbad Village Transit Station is compatible with the City's long-term vision for the Carlsbad Village area. To begin discussion and coordination, please have a member of City staff contact Lillian Doherty, Director of Planning and Development by e-mail to [email protected] or by phone to (760) 967-2803.
Sincerely,
Tracey Foster
Chief Development Officer
