SDP 2025-0006 (DEV2025-0063) – BARONS MARKET

The City of Carlsbad Planning Division is processing a Site Development Plan for a Standards Modification request, identified as SDP 2025-0006 (DEV2025-0063) for Barons Market. Located at 2800 Roosevelt Street in Carlsbad, California, the project involves a grocery store within an existing multi-tenant commercial development. The primary objective is to secure approval for additional and enlarged signage under the Village and Barrio Master Plan. The requested modifications include increasing the number of wall signs from one to three, raising the letter height for two wall signs from 18 inches to 31 inches, and allowing wall signage to exceed the standard limit of one square foot per lineal foot of frontage. Additionally, the request seeks to increase the number of monument signs from one to two, expand the area of monument signs from 24 square feet to 52.86 square feet, and increase the monument sign height from 6 feet to 6 feet-7 inches. The project is categorized as a permitted use under the existing Master Plan and has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Class 11 for Accessory Structures. This exemption is based on the construction of minor structures accessory to existing commercial facilities, specifically on-premise signs. Environmental assessments indicate that no significant impacts are expected, and the project site is not identified as a cleanup, hazardous waste, or inspection site on the Department of Toxic Substance Control geoportal map. No exceptions to the CEQA exemption or Title 19 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code apply to this action. The application is being managed by Senior Planner Edward Valenzuela for the City of Carlsbad.
