a . n . . e I>roJect escrtptton
KSL LaCosta Resort Corporation ("KSL") is applying to amend the existing CUP for the
La Costa Spa and Resort and for a special use permit ("SUP") to allow the addition of an
approximately 42,447 square foot ballroom facility with associated improvements. This building
would be located in the area to the north of the existing spa as generally depicted on the Site Plan
submitted with this application. The ballroom facility will be used primarily as meeting space
for on-site group guests and will also be used for evening functions such as parties, weddings or
other events.
This new ballroom facility is an important improvement that is necessary for the
re-positioning of the resort. Compared to its peers in the high-end group hotel industry, La Costa
has insufficient meeting space for the room count of the resort. This facility will help to better
align the correct ratio of meeting space per guest room for the resort.
The facility would be comprised of approximately 18,000 square feet of ballroom space,
8,300 square feet ofprefunction space and approximately 1,400 square feet of meeting space.
The remaining square feet would be used for a warming kitchen, back of house and some office
space.
Off-street parking for the new facility will be provided in the existing parking lot to the
north of the facility and in a new parking lot that will be constructed at the comer of Costa Del
Mar Road and Estrella Drive where the existing spa is currently located. KSL is currently
processing plans to construct a new spa and will demolish the existing spa after the new spa is
opened for operations. In addition, KSL is currently processing plans pursuant to CUP 258(B) to
construct a previously approved, approximately 513 space parking lot on its property at the
southeast comer of El Camino Real and Costa Del Mar Road. These 513 spaces will compensate
for the spaces that will be used for the new ballroom in the existing parking lot and any spaces
that will be lost in connection with construction of the new spa and the ballroom. As such, KSL
will be providing new off-street parking on site as required by the City Code for the new
ballroom facility.

c) Substantially degrade the existing visual 0 0 0 character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or 0 0 0 glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. Thus, implementation of the proposed project will
not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. The project will not substantially damage
scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway. The project will not substantially degrade the existing visual
character or quality of the site and its surroundings. Therefore, there is no significant impact
associated with aesthetics.

II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In
detennining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects,
lead agencies may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the
California Dept. of Conservation as an optional
model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture
and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or 0 0 0 Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural 0 use, or a Williamson Act contract? 0 0 " c) Involve other changes in the existing 0 environment which, due to their location or 0 0 " nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to
non-agricultural use?
Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. Thus, implementation of the proposed project will
not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. Nor will the project
conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract, or involve other
changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use. Therefore, there is no significant impact
associated with agricultural resources.

III. AIR QUALITY --Where available, the
significance criteria established by the applicable
air quality management or air pollution control
district may be relied upon to make the following
determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the 0 0 0 X applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute 0 0 X 0 substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net 0 0 0 increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non-attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions which
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial 0 0 X 0 pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a 0 0 X 0 substantial number of people?
Comment: Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
No Impact. The project site is located in the San Diego Air Basin which is a federal and state
nonattainment area for ozone (03), and a state nonattainment area for particulate matter less than
or equal to 1 0 microns in diameter (PM to). The periodic violations of national Ambient Air
Quality Standards (AAQS) in the San Diego Air Basin (SDAB), particularly for ozone in inland
foothill areas, requires that a plan be developed outlining the pollution controls that will be
undertaken to improve air quality. In San Diego County, this attainment planning process is
embodied in the Regional Air Quality Strategies (RAQS) developed jointly by the Air Pollution
Control District (APCD) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
A plan to meet the federal standard for ozone was developed in 1994 during the process of
updating the 1991 state-mandated plan. This local plan was combined with plans from all other
California nonattainment areas having serious ozone problems and used to create the California
State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP was adopted by the Air Resource Board (ARB) after
public hearings on November 9th through 1Oth in 1994, and was forwarded to the Environmental
P/A!LCB/LCB-Initiai-Study.doc -5-
..
,,
Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. After considerable analysis and debate, particularly
regarding airsheds with the worst smog problems, EPA approved the SIP in mid-1996.
The proposed project relates to the SIP and/or RAQS through the land use and growth
assumptions that are incorporated into the air quality planning document. These growth
assumptions are based on each city's and the County's general plan. If a proposed project is
consistent with its applicable General Plan, then the project presumably has been anticipated with
the regional air quality planning process. Such consistency would ensure that the project would
not have an adverse regional air quality impact.
Section 15125(B) of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
contains specific reference to the need to evaluate any inconsistencies between the proposed
project and the applicable air quality management plan. Transportation Control Measures
(TCMs) are part of the RAQS. The RAQS and TCM plan set forth the steps needed to
accomplish attainment of state and federal ambient air quality standards. The California Air
Resources Board provides criteria for determining whether a project conforms with the RAQS
which include the following:
• Is the regional air quality plan being implemented in the project area?
• Is the project consistent with the growth assumptions in the regional air quality plan?
The project area is located in the San Diego Air Basin, and as such, is located in an area where a
RAQS is being implemented. The project is consistent with the growth assumptions of the City's
General Plan and the RAQS. Therefore, the project is consistent with the regional air quality
plan and will in no way conflict or obstruct implementation of the regional plan.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
Less Than Significant Impact. The closest air quality monitoring station to the project site is in
the City of Oceanside. Data available for this monitoring site through April 2002 indicate that
the most recent air quality violations recorded were for the state one-hour standard for ozone
(one day in both 2000 and 2001) and one day in 2001 for the federal eight-hour average for ozone
and one day for the 24-hour site state standard for suspended particulates in 1996. No violations
of any other air quality standards have been recorded recently. If there is grading associated with
the project, the project would involve minimal short-term emissions associated with grading and
construction. Such emissions would be minimized through standard construction measures such
as the use of properly tuned equipment and watering the site for dust control. Long-term
emissions associated with travel to and from the project will be minimal. Although air pollutant
emissions would be associated with the project, they would neither result in the violation of any
air quality standard (comprising only an incremental contribution to overall air basin quality
readings), nor contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. An impact
is assessed as less than significant.
PI A/LCB/LCB-Initiai-Study.doc -6-
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Air Basin is currently in a nonattainment zone for ozone and
suspended fme particulates. The proposed project would represent a contribution to a
cumulatively considerable potential net increase in emissions through the air basin. As described
above, however, emissions associated with the proposed project would be minimal. Given the
limited emissions potentially associated with the proposed project, air quality would be
essentially the same whether or not the proposed project is implemented. According to the
CEQA guidelines Section 15130 (a)(4), the proposed project's contribution to the cumulative
impact is considered de minimus. Any impact is assessed as less than significant.

preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted 0 Cl 0 Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local,
regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
g) Impact tributary areas that are environmentally 0 0 0 sensitive?
Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. Thus, implementation of the proposed project will
not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any
species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans,
policies, or regulations, or by the California Department ofFish and Game or U.S. Fish and
P/AILCBILCB-Initiai-Study.doc -8-
Wildlife Service. The project will not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or
other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by
the California Department ofFish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service. The project will
not have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through
direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means. The project will not interfere
substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or
with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native
wildlife nursery sites. The project will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances
protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. The project will
not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan, nor will
the project impact tributary areas that are environmentally sensitive. Therefore, there is no
significant impact associated with biological resources.

Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. Thus, implementation of the proposed project will
not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss,
injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based
on other substantial evidence of a known fault (Map 1 of the Public Safety Element of the City of

Comment: The proposed project will not violate any existing Federal, State, or local water
quality standards or waste discharge requirements. The project is designed to be a ballroom and,
thus, will not utilize any groundwater supplies, interfere with groundwater recharge, or have any
impacts on groundwater quality. The project site is currently developed and therefore the project
constitutes the redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. Thus, implementation of the
proposed project will not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would
result in substantial erosion or siltation on-or off-site. Nor will the project substantially increase
the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on-or off-site or
create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff,
otherwise substantially degrade water quality.
The project is not planned to be located within a 1 00-year flood plain, nor place housing within a
1 00-year flood plain. The project will not be in danger of inundation by seiche, tsunami, or
P/AILCB/LCB-Initiai-Study.doc -16-
mudflow, and will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam.
The project will not increase erosion (sediment) or pollutant discharges into receiving surface
waters, nor make any other alterations of receiving surface water quality. The project will not
make any changes to receiving water quality during or after construction or make increases of
any pollutant to any already impaired water body as listed on the Clean Water Act Section 303(d)
list. The project will comply with all applicable storm water pollution prevention plan
requirements.

applicable standards of other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of 0 0 excessive groundbome vibration or groundbome
noise levels?
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient 0 D D noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in D D D ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above
levels existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an airport land use 0 0 0 plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use
airport, would the project expose people residing
or working in the project area to excessive noise
levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private 0 0 D airstrip, would the project expose people residing
or working in the project area to excessive noise
levels?
Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. According to map one of the noise element of the
City of Carlsbad General Plan, the project site does not lie within any sensitive noise contours.
Thus, implementation of the proposed project will not result in the exposure of persons to or
generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise
ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. The project will not result in the exposure
of persons to or generation of excessive groundbome vibration or groundbome noise levels. The
project will not create a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project
vicinity above levels existing without the project, nor will it create a substantial temporary or
periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the
project. According to Map Three of the Noise Element of the City of Carlsbad General Plan, the
proposed project will not be located within the Airport Influence Area. Therefore, the project
would not expose people working or residing in the project area to excessive noise levels.
Therefore, there is no significant impact associated with noise.

XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING--Would
the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an 0 0 0 area, either directly (for example, by proposing
new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
example, through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing 0 0 0 housing, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, 0 0 necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?
Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. Thus, implementation of the proposed project will
not induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing
new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other
infrastructure). The project will not displace substantial numbers of existing housing,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. The project will not displace
substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.

XV. TRANSPORTATIONffRAFFIC --Would
the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial 0 0 0 in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity
of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial
increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the
volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion
at intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a 0 0 0 level of service standard established by the
county congestion management agency for
designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, 0 0 0 including either an increase in traffic levels or a
change in location that results in substantial
safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design 0 0 0 feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? 0 0 X 0
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? 0 0 X 0
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or 0 programs supporting alternative transportation 0 X 0
(e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. A focused traffic evaluation and analysis for La
Costa Resort and Spa Ballroom was conducted by Rick Engineering on Oct. 15, 2002. The
analysis concluded that there were no significant traffic impacts. See attached report for further
detail. Furthermore, implementation of the proposed project will not result in a change in air
traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in
substantial safety risks. The project will not substantially increase hazards due to a design
feature or incompatible uses, result in inadequate emergency access, result in inadequate parking
capacity, or conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF
SIGNIFICANCE --
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade 0 0 D the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are 0 0 D individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects
of a project are considerable when viewed in
connection with the effects of past projects, the
effects of other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects 0 0 D which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Comment: The project site is currently developed and therefore the project constitutes the
redevelopment of an existing disturbed site. Thus, implementation of the proposed project does
not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat
of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory. The project does not have impacts that are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable, nor does the project have environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, there is no
significant impact associated with the mandatory findings of significance.

DETERMINATION.
(To be completed by the Lead Agency)
IZJ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
D I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been
added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
D I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT REPORT is required.
D I find that the proposed project MAY have "potentially significant impact(s)" on the environment, but at
least one potentially significant impact 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis
as described on attached sheets. A Negative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects
that remain to be addressed.
D I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL
NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or NEGATIVE DECLARATION
pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Therefore, nothing further is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental
Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental
Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical,
biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information
to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or
to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
• A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by
an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to
projects like the one involved. A "No Impact" answer should be explained when there is no source
document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
• "Less Than Significant Impact" applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential impact is not
significantly adverse, and the impact does not exceed adopted general standards and policies.
• "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation
measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact."
The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
• "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significantly
adverse.
• Based on an "EIA-Part II'', if a proposed project could have a potentially significant adverse effect on the
environment, but all potentially significant adverse effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier
EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement
to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prior environmental
document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional environmental document is required.
• When "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR
if the significant adverse effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable
standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" has been made
pursuant to that earlier EIR.
• A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any
of its aspects may cause a significant adverse effect on the environment.
• If there are one or more potentially significant adverse effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there
are mitigation measures to clearly reduce adverse impacts to less than significant, and those mitigation
measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this case, the appropriate "Potentially
Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated" may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration
may be prepared.
4 Rev. 07/03/02
• •
• An EIR must be prepared if "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked, and including but not limited to
the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant adverse effect has not been discussed or
mitigated in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does not agree to mitigation
measures that reduce the adverse impact to less than significant; (2) a "Statement of Overriding
Considerations" for the significant adverse impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3)
proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the adverse impact to less than significant; or (4) through the
EIA-Part II analysis it is not possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect,
or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a
level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing
mitigation for impacts, which would otherwise be determined significant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
KSL Development Corp. is requesting approval of a Negative Declaration, Conditional Use Permit Amendment, and
Special Use Permit-Scenic Corridor to allow the construction and occupation of an approximately 42. 477 square
foot ballroom facility and a reconstruction of the surrounding parking areas. The project site is designated Travel
Recreational Commercial (TR) in the City's General Plan and is zoned General Commercial (C-2). The proposed
site for the ballroom is on the west side of the existing resort development and is currently occupied by parking,
landscaping, the Chopra Center (formerly known as the Lifestyle Center), and a portion of the main spa building. To
the north of the site are the residential units along Arena! Road, to the west is El Camino Real and the Batiquitos
Lagoon. East of the site are the existing hotel buildings and the new spa building (currently under construction).
South of the site and across Costa del Mar are residential condominium units.
The proposed ballroom would total approximately 42,447 square feet and would include the main ballroom area,
supporting areas such as a prep kitchen, storage, small meeting rooms, a pre-function area and restrooms. The
proposed development would also include a porte cochere and driveway entry, along with a reconstruction of the
existing parking lot to the north of the proposed building. As shown on Exhibits "A"-"D", dated January 15, 2003,
the ballroom building would be located on the western portion of the site, adjacent to the existing spa building. The
building would measure 35 feet to the top of the roof and would include a non-habitable tower element that extends
up to 43.5 feet. The architecture would follow the Mediterranean theme of the existing resort, with tile roof, wood
rafter tails and window/door treatments, and an exterior plaster finish.
Approximately 29,000 cubic yards of grading is proposed, including 4,000 cubic yards of import and 1,000 cubic
yards of remedial grading. The maximum cut .or fill depth is approximately six (6) feet. All grading will be
performed in accordance with the recommendations of the project-specific geotechnical report and is required to
conform to the City's Grading Ordinance and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit
requirements. In addition, an all-weather access road would be provided throughout construction and Fire Marshal
approval would be required prior to the storage of any hazardous materials on site.
The project would take access off of Estrella del Mar and Costa del Mar, private roads serving the resort. These
roads have direct access to Arena! Road, a local street, and El Camino Real, a prime arterial. According to the
project-specific traffic report, the surrounding circulation system is adequate to accommodate the expected 476
average daily trips generated by the proposed ballroom. All facilities needed to serve the site would be provided
prior to, or concurrent with, construction of the project.
Several mature trees would be removed from the property, however these trees are not native and represent a small
proportion of the existing tree canopy on the resort campus. In addition, the landscaping along the eastern frontage
of El Camino Real would be enhanced with large shrubs and trees to screen the proposed building from public views
from El Camino Real, thereby reducing any potential aesthetic impacts.
There are no existing cultural or historical resources on the developed site. Also, due to the developed nature of the
site, there are no agricultural operations or sensitive flora or fauna within the project area. No significant mineral
resources or other energy sources exist within the resort property. Since the proposed ballroom would be located
within the existing resort site, no disruption of existing communities or neighborhoods would occur. Therefore, the
proposed La Costa Resort and Spa Ballroom proposal would not create any significant adverse environmental
impacts as designed and conditioned.
AIR QUALITY-Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
No Impact. The project site is located in the San Diego Air Basin which is a federal and state non-attainment area
for ozone (03), and a state non-attainment area for particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns in diameter
(PM10). The periodic violations of national Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) in the San Diego Air Basin
(SDAB), particularly for ozone in inland foothill areas, requires that a plan be developed outlining the pollution
controls that will be undertaken to improve air quality. In San Diego County, this attainment planning process is
embodied in the Regional Air Quality Strategies (RAQS) developed jointly by the Air Pollution Control District
(APCD) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
15 Rev. 07/03/02
A plan ~o meet the federal stanld for ozone was developed in 1994 during th~cess of updating the 1991 state-
mandated plan. This local plan was combined with plans from all other California non-attainment areas having
serious ozone problems and used to create the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP was adopted by
the Air Resources Board (ARB) after public hearings on November 9th through lOth in 1994, and was forwarded to
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. After considerable analysis and debate, particularly
regarding airsheds with the worst smog problems, EPA approved the SIP in mid-1996.
The proposed project relates to the SIP and/or RAQS through the land use and growth assumptions that are
incorporated into the air quality planning document. These growth assumptions are based on each city's and the
County's general plan. If a proposed project is consistent with its applicable General Plan, then the project
presumably has been anticipated with the regional air quality planning process. Such consistency would ensure that
the project would not have an adverse regional air quality impact.
Section 15125(B) of the State of California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines contains specific reference
to the need to evaluate any inconsistencies between the proposed project and the applicable air quality management
plan. Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) are part of the RAQS. The RAQS and TCM plan set forth the steps
needed to accomplish attainment of state and federal ambient air quality standards. The California Air Resources
Board provides criteria for determining whether a project conforms with the RAQS which include the following:
• Is a regional air quality plan being implemented in the project area?
• Is the project consistent with the growth assumptions in the regional air quality plan?
The project area is located in the San Diego Air Basin, and as such, is located in an area where a RAQS is being
implemented. The project is consistent with the growth assumptions of the City's General Plan and the RAQS.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the regional air quality plan and will in no way conflict or obstruct
implementation of the regional plan.
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
Less Than Significant Impact. The closest air quality monitoring station to the project site is in the City of
Oceanside. Data available for this monitoring site through April, 2002 indicate that the most recent air quality
violations recorded were for the state one hour standard for ozone (one day in both 2000 and 2001) and one day in
2001 for the federal 8-hour average for ozone and one day for the 24-hour state standard for suspended particulates
in 1996. No violations of any other air quality standards have been recorded recently. (Add the following text
addressing short-term emissions, if there is grading associated with the project.) The project would involve
minimal short-term emissions associated with grading and construction. Such emissions would be minimized
through standard construction measures such as the use of properly tuned equipment and watering the site for dust
control. Long-term emissions associated with travel to and from the project will be minimal. Although air pollutant
emissions would be associated with the project, they would neither result in the violation of any air quality standard
(comprising only an incremental contribution to overall air basin quality readings), nor contribute substantially to an
existing or projected air quality violation. Any impact is assessed as less than significant.
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project
region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Air Basin is currently in a non-attainment zone for ozone and suspended fine
particulates. The proposed project would represent a contribution to a cumulatively considerable potential net
increase in emissions throughout the air basin. As described above, however, emissions associated with the
proposed project would be minimal. Given the limited emissions potentially associated with the proposed project,
air quality would be essentially the same whether or not the proposed project is implemented. According to the
CEQA Guidelines Section 15130 (a)(4), the proposed project's contribution to the cumulative impact is considered
de minimus. Any impact is assessed as less than significant.
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
No Impact. As noted above, the proposed project would not result in substantial pollutant emiSSIOns or
concentrations. In addition, there are no sensitive receptors (e.g., schools or hospitals) located in the vicinity of the
project. No impact is assessed.
16 Rev. 07/03/02
• d) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
No Impact. The construction of the proposed project could generate fumes from the operation of construction
equipment, which may be considered objectionable by some people. Such exposure would be short-term or
transient. In addition, the number of people exposed to such_ transient impacts is not considered substantial.
TRANSPORTATIONfi'RAFFIC-Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity
of the street system?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project will generate 476 Average Daily Trips (ADT). This traffic will utilize
the following roadways: Estrella del Mar, Arena! Road, Costa del Mar, and El Camino Real. The design capacities
of the arterial roads effected by the proposed project are 1,200 and 40,000 vehicles per day. While the increase in
traffic from the proposed project may be slightly noticeable, the street system has been designed and sized to
accommodate traffic from the project and cumulative development in the City of Carlsbad. The proposed project
would not, therefore, cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity
of the street system. The impacts from the proposed project are, therefore, Jess than significant.
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county
congestion management agency for designated roads or highways?
Less Than Significant Impact. SANDAG acting as the County Congestion Management Agency has designated
three roads (Rancho Santa Fe Rd., El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Rd.) and two highway segments in Carlsbad
as part of the regional circulation system. The Existing and Buildout average daily traffic (ADT) and Existing LOS
on these designated roads and highways in Carlsbad is:
Existing ADT* LOS Buildout ADT*
Rancho Santa Fe Road 15-32 "A-C" 28-43
El Camino Real 21-50 "A-C" 32-65
Palomar Airport Road 10-52 "A-B" 29-77
SR 78 120 "F' 144
1-5 183-198 "D" 219-249
*The numbers are in thousands of daily trips.
The Congestion Management Program's (CMP) acceptable Level of Service (LOS) standard is "E", or LOS "F' if
that was the LOS in the 1990 base year (e.g., SR 78 in Carlsbad was LOS "F' in 1990). Accordingly, all designated
roads and highways are currently operating at or better than the acceptable standard LOS.
Note that the buildout ADT projections are based on the full implementation of the region's general and community
plans. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan and, therefore, its traffic was used in modeling the
buildout projections. Achievement of the CMP acceptable Level of Service (LOS) "E" standard assumes
implementation of the adopted CMP strategies. Based on the design capacity(ies) of the designated roads and
highways and implementation of the CMP strategies, they will function at acceptable level(s) of service in the short-
term and at buildout.
a) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change
in location that results in substantial safety risks?
No Impact. The proposed project does not include any aviation components. The project is consistent with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport. It would not, therefore, result in a change of air
traffic patterns or result in substantial safety risks. No impact assessed.
b) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses?
17 Rev. 07/03/02
No Impact. All project circul. improvements will be designed and construclto City standards; and, therefore.
would not result in design hazards. The proposed project is consistent with the City's general plan and zoning.
Therefore, it would not increase hazards due to an incompatible use. No impact assessed.
c) Result in inadequate emergency access?
No Impact. The proposed project has been designed to satisfy the emergency requirements of the Fire and Police
Departments. No impact assessed.
d) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
No Impact. The proposed project is not requesting a parking variance. Additionally, the project would comply with
the City's parking requirements to ensure an adequate parking supply. No impact assessed.
e) Conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus
turnouts, bicycle racks, etc.)?
No Impact. (Note whether the project is near public transportation. If not, then state that the project is not served
by or not located in an area conducive to public transportation.) (Note bike racks are not necessary for a single-
family residential project. Otherwise, condition the project to install bike racks and note here that the project has
been so conditioned.)

STATUS OF LA COSTA SPA AND RESORT BALLROOM CUP/SUP
The above-referenced project was submitted on October 16, 2002. On November
14, 2002, the Planning Department sent a correspondence to the applicant for the La
Costa Spa and Resort Ballroom application (KSL Development Corp) that stated the
application was complete and listed the issues of concern to staff. In that letter, staff
informed the applicant that the project was tentatively scheduled for the December
18, 2002 Planning Commission, however, all issues would need to be resolved by
December 6, 2002 in order to stay on the agenda. The December 6, 2002 deadline
was three working days prior to the distribution of staff reports to the Planning
Commission and would still necessitate a three-day expedited review of the
documents by Planning Management and the City Attorney's office (as opposed to
the standard eight day period). The letter also reminded the applicant of the
agreements reached at our September 30, 2002 meeting, namely that staff
committed to a two-week (ten working day) turn around rather than the standard
four-week response time. Therefore, provided that their resubmittal satisfactorily
addressed all of the issues and was received on of before November 21, 2002, staff
could keep the project on the agenda.
The applicant resubmitted the project on the afternoon of November 27, 2002, less
than ten calendar days from the December 6, 2002 deadline. Had the project been
resubmitted in enough time to accommodate the review times agreed to by both
parties at the September 30, 2002 meeting, there would have been enough time to
process the staff report and notice the environmental review documents. Since this
resubmittal was not received, the environmental review documents were not noticed
and the item was pulled from the tentative agenda. The application is now
scheduled for the January 15, 2003 Planning Commission meeting, which is three
months from the time of project submittal. I would be happy to discuss this issue
with you at your convenience. Thank you.

MEMORANDUM
November 7, 2002
TO: Mike Grim, Planning
FROM: Jeremy Riddle, Engineerin
SUBJECT: FIRST REVIEW OF LA COSTA BALLROOM
(CUP 258(C)/SUP 02-08, APN 216-123-07 & 05, 216-21 0-04)
Engineering Department staff has completed a review of the application submittal
documents for application completeness. The application and plans are considered
complete. However, we have identified the following items that must be clarified or
addressed prior to approval of this project:
1. Add the application numbers (CUP 258(c) & SUP 02-08) to the upper right-
hand corners of the exhibits.
2. Revise the plans to clarify how a fire truck (using 407E turning-template) can
access the proposed fire hydrant in the southerly parking lot. If the fire
hydrant is not accessible, the hydrant serves no benefit during a fire or
emergency. Will a truck have to perform a 3-point turn at the end of the drive
aisle to exit the parking lot?
3. Revise site plans so the proposed waterlines are located in the center of drive
aisles, not through parking stalls (typical). Refer to redlines for clarification on
this matter.
4. Revise the site plan to clarify how the storm water collected by the inlet near
the southern parking lot will be filtered of pollutants before being discharged
to Costa Del Mar Place. Add a note to the plans to clarify this issue.
5. Revise the plans to identify the anticipated remedial earthwork quantities.
6. Revise the site plan to clarify the size of the potable water service (currently
listed as 2 1/2 -inch). Carlsbad Municipal Water District only permits 1-inch
and 2-inch copper services. If more than 2-inch is required, consider multiple
services (possible and 2-inch and a 1-inch potable service).
7. Consider installing an irrigation service off the long fire hydrant line in the
southern parking lot. This will encourage flow in the dead-end pipe and
address water quality of the potable water system that serves this project.
8. Add CMWD water easements along all fire hydrant laterals (typical). Refer to
La Costa Ballroom
November 8, 2002
Page 2 of2
the red lines for clarification on this issue.
9. Meet with the Fire Marshal to ensure that all fire protection devices are
incorporated and that fire access/circulation has been adequately addressed.
If more fire hydrants are required, more access issues may arise on next
submittal.
10. Clarify the size and type of the existing water main where the storm drain
crosses near the southwest corner of the project.
11. Clarify the size and type of existing sewer near the southwest corner of the
project. Callout the record data that created the easement (per document
___ , dated . Is the easement public or private?
12. Revise the parking lot layout to incorporate 5' x 5' clearances at each corner
parking stall (typical). Refer to the redlines and schematic noted on the
returned plans.
13. Clarify how the trash service company will serve the project. Will trash
enclosures be used? If so, refer to Carlsbad Standard drawing GS-16.
14. Clarify if a sump pump will be required to drain the low point in the truck
loading bay, or if the grate inlet connects to the storm drain by gravity.
15. Relocate the irrigation and fire service check valves just outside the CMWD
easement line. The check valves are typically located at this position per
CMWD standards.
16. Clarify if the driveway entrance at the front of the ballroom will be one-way. If
it will be two-way, the minimum width shall be 24-feet.
17. Add the inside and outside turning tracks of a 42-foot vehicle per 407E. These
tracks must be shown at each 90-degree turn that must be accomplished to
ensure trash trucks and fire trucks can maneuver throughout the site.
18. Identify the hydraulic grade line (pressure zone) of the existing and proposed
waterline for reference.
19. Include pedestrian ramps along Estrella Del Mar Road as noted on the redlines.
Clarify if a mid-block pedestrian ramp is required to help compliment the other
pedestrian ramp across the street.
20. Revise the site plan to demonstrate the terminus of the proposed storm drain.
Will it connect to an existing facility or surface drain? The current plans do not

Subject: DCC meeting for La Costa Ballroom (CUP 258(C))
Hello and Happy New Year:
The DCC meeting for the La Costa Ballroom CUP was scheduled today from 11 :OOam to 11 :30am at the
City Faraday Building. No representatives attended the meeting and no communication requesting
rescheduling was received. The purpose of the DCC meeting is to discuss the draft staff report and
resolutions prior to finalizing the documents for the Planning Commission hearing.
Should you have any comments or questions on the staff report or resolutions, please forward those to me
prior to the 3:00pm today. If no comments are received by that time, it will be deduced that you have no
comments or issues with the report.
There are also several outstanding items that will be needed prior to the close of business on Tuesday
(i.e. 5:30pm on January 7, 2003) -these items were listed in the December 30, 2002 letter from the
Planning Department. In addition to these items, a completed disclosuer statement form is needed (the
one submitted with the application was found to be incomplete as it does not list the applicant and owners
name, etc.). Blank copies of these forms are available at the Planning Department front counter-please
obtain a form, complete it, and return it to my attention prior to close of business tomorrow (i.e. 5:30pm on
January 7, 2003).
Thank you for your cooperation in the processing of your CUP application. As stated in the December 30,
2002 letter, should these items not be received by the above referenced deadline, the project will be
rescheduled for the next available Planning Commission hearing. Thanks again, Mike

RE: Ballroom CUP Process
Dear Mike;
This correspondence is relative to the upcoming Ballroom CUP hearing and our outreach
efforts. Please note that labels, assessor's rolls and maps will be coming under separate
cover within the next several days.
As to our community outreach efforts, we have carried out the following:
A: Discussions with a number of our neighboring members
B: Discussions with a number ofHOA representatives
C: Discussions with representatives of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce
D: Briefings at a number of area service clubs
E: Briefings with selected community leaders
These discussions serve several purposes. First, we are able to outline our plans for the
Resort and second, we are able to quantify and deal with concerns that have been raised.
Clearly, we have not reached each and every "neighbor" within the 600-foot radius
requirement. As such, we will continue to carry out an on going outreach effort and
continue to address areas of concern as each may arise beyond the completion of the
permitting process. In the long-term, we believe community outreach is in the best
interest ofthe Resort, it's neighbors and the City of Carlsbad.

Re: Application for CUP/SUP #258(C) Amendment
Dear Mike:
In connection with the above application, we are providing you with two exhibits --
Sheets 4A and 4B. These plans and the information in this letter address Items 1-8 in your
October 28 email and letter from Mr. Holzmiller dated November 13, 2002.
Exhibit 4A is a Pedestrian Esplanade Plan illustrating the connection between the parking
facilities south of Costa del Mar Road (pursuant to existing CUP 258(B)) and the ballroom, spa
and other campus facilities. The Master Plan will include a pedestrian system; the palm lined
esplanades will provide an identifiable pathway from the new parking lot south of Costa del Mar
Road to provide easy and direct access from that lot to the ballroom and other areas of the
Resort. Although we are providing this pedestrian connection, as noted in the parking analysis
submitted with the application, required parking for the ballroom is provided in the area
immediately surrounding the ballroom.
This plan also shows the existing track along the west side of the project area that will be
removed and the location where it will be reconstructed as an interim facility until the pedestrian
esplanade system in the Master Plan is implemented. Although the current track is used only to a
limited extent, we anticipate that the Master Plan will provide for numerous pedestrian paths and
areas available for recreational/exercise use and to serve the guests within the context of the
resort campus as a whole experience.
Exhibit 4B is a Plant Material Demolition, Relocation and Preservation Plan. This Plan
identifies the location, size, type and disposition of all matures trees located in the area of work
identified in the application. This exhibit also locates and identifies plant material in the vicinity
ofthe improvements that will be protected and will remain after completion of the
improvements. Additionally, the plant identifies the landscaping that will be preserved along El

improvements. Additionally, the plant identifies the landscaping that will be preserved along El
Camino Real that will help screen the ballroom building and redesigned parking area from sight
along El Camino Real.
The existing Spa Hotel Units have been extensively remodeled by KSL and will be used
during and after the construction of the ballroom. The personnel and laundry buildings adjacent
to the spa hotel units will be removed at the completion of ballroom construction and may be
used during the construction process. The removal and disposition of these outdated structures
will be illustrated in the plan graphics to be provided prior to the public hearing.
The approximately 388 parking spaces shown on the originally approved CUP exhibit
include the existing parking spaces north of the Chopra Center (which is identified on the
original CUP exhibit as a lifestyle center). Although the original CUP exhibit identifies the
388 spaces in a smaller area, only approximately 211 of the 388 spaces could actually fit in the
highlighted area when scaled at 8.5' x 20' on the shown exhibit-the balance of the 388 were
constructed in the area north of the Chopra Center building outside of the "highlighted" area on
the exhibit. The loss of these spaces was already taken into account in the calculation on sheet 3
showing 70 places displaced by the new ballroom.
With respect to the status of the Master Plan, on October 13th, a letter was submitted to
the Planning Director requesting a pre-application meeting to scope the requirements of the
process within the guidelines of the City of Carlsbad. The meeting is scheduled for
November 21 at 9:30am. We hope that you will attend so we can benefit from your
participation in that process.
We will be addressing the other issues in the November 13 letter separately. If you need
any additional information regarding the above issues, please let us know. As you know, it is
imperative that we stay on schedule for the December planning commission hearing and we
appreciate your efforts in keeping us on schedule.

ISSUES OF CONCERN
•. No. CUP 258(C)/SUP 02-08-LA COSTA RESORT AND SPA BALLROOM
Planning:
•
•
In order to expedite processing of the application, the following Planning Department comments
were sent to your team via e-mail on October 28, 2002 and have not been resolved as of the
date of this correspondence:
1. There are a large amount of mature trees on the site that will likely need to be removed.
Please provide a plan indicating the location, size, type, and disposition of all mature
trees within the project area.
2. There is currently landscaping along El Camino Real that may serve to assist in
screening the redesigned parking area and future ballroom building. Since this
landscaping is outside of the •area of work", it was not shown on the submitted exhibits.
Please add an accurate depiction of this landscaping to the project plans, indicating
type, height and coverage to assist staff in determining what additional landscaping or
other screening materials will be needed to provide an aesthetically positive view from
the adjacent scenic corridor, El Camino Real.
3.
4.
It appears from site visits and plan review that the exercise track on the west side of the
site will be eliminated by the parking lot redesign. Please provide background
information on this recreational feature (e.g. how much usage it gets, will there be any
replacement recreational opportunities, etc.)
Please provide information on the project plans indicating the ultimate disposition of the
personnel and laundry buildings, the nearby hotel rooms to the south, and the
associated parking to the west. Please also indicate on the project plans the proposed
condition for the area vacated by the spa building demolition. This area will need to be
landscaped in ·accordance with the City's Landscape Manual and, depending on the
information on the mature tree exhibit, may require additional landscaping.
5. Please indicate how many parking spaces currently exist north of the Chopra Center.
The submitted plans only include those spaces in the northernmost portion of the
parking lot but do not include the parking directly north of the Chopra Center building.
6. In order to consider the new parking area south of Costa del Mar as serving the ballroom
facility, a direct pedestrian link between the parking area and the ballroom facility is
needed. This will necessitate a crosswalk across Costa del Mar and a pedestrian path
connecting the street to the buildings to the north (rather than having pedestrians travel
the more circuitous route on the existing sidewalk). Please indicate these features on
the project plans.
8. The landscaping adjacent to the proposed parking area at the intersection of Costa del
Mar and Estrella del Mar is rather sparse. Please enhance the proposed landscaping to
the extent feasible without creating safe sight-distance traffic corridor issues.
9 . Staff has indicated on several previous occasions that the westerly elevations for the
ballroom are unacceptable as proposed. This elevation contains the least amount of
articulation and yet is the elevation facing towards the scenic corridor of El Camino Real.
Please enhance these elevations to include more building articulation as previously
requested.

Engineering:
1. Add the application numbers (CUP 258(c) & SUP 02-08) to the upper right-hand
corners of the exhibits.
2. Revise the plans to clarity how a fire truck (using 407E turning-template) can access
the proposed fire hydrant in the southerly parking lot. If the fire hydrant is not
accessible, the hydrant serves no benefit during a fire or emergency. Will a truck
have to perform a 3-point turn at the end of the drive aisle to exit the parking lot?
3. Revise site plans so the proposed waterlines are located in the center of drive aisles,
not through parking stalls (typical). Refer to redlines for clarification on this matter.
4. Revise the site plan to clarify how the storm water collected by the inlet near the
southern parking lot will be filtered of pollutants before being discharged to Costa Del
Mar Place. Add a note to the plans to clarity this issue.
5. Revise the plans to identify the anticipated remedial earthwork quantities.
6. Revise the site plan to clarity the size of the potable water service (currently listed as
2 1/2 -inch). Carlsbad Municipal Water District only permits 1-inch and 2-inch
copper services. If more than 2-inch is required, consider multiple services (possible
and 2-inch and a 1-inch potable service).
7. Consider installing an irrigation service off the long fire hydrant line in the southern
parking lot. This will encourage flow in the dead-end pipe and address water quality
of the potable water system that serves this project.
8.
9.
10.
Add CMWD water easements along all fire hydrant laterals (typical). Refer to the
redlines for clarification on this issue .
Meet with the Fire Marshal to ensure that all fire protection devices are incorporated
and that fire access/circulation has been adequately addressed. If more fire
hydrants are required, more access issues may arise on next submittal.
Clarify the size and type of the existing water main where the storm drain crosses
near the southwest corner of the project.
11. Clarify the size and type of existing sewer near the southwest corner of the project.
Callout the record data that created the easement (per document , dated
____ ). Is the easement public or private?
12. Revise the parking lot layout to incorporate 5' x 5' clearances at each corner parking
stall (typical). Refer to the redlines and schematic noted on the returned plans.
13. Clarify how the trash service company will serve the project. Will trash enclosures
be used? If so, refer to Carlsbad Standard drawing GS-16.
14. Clarify if a sump pump will be required to drain the low point in the truck loading bay,
or if the grate inlet connects to the storm drain by gravity.
15. Relocate the irrigation and fire service check valves just outside the CMWD
easement line. The check valves are typically located at this position per CMWD
standards.
16. Clarify if the driveway entrance at the front of the ballroom will be one-way. If it will
be two-way, the minimum width shall be 24-feet.
17. Add the inside and outside turning tracks of a 42-foot vehicle per 407E. These tracks
must be shown at each 90-degree turn that must be accomplished to ensure trash trucks
and fire trucks can maneuver throughout the site.

Identify the hydraulic grade line (pressure zone) of the existing and proposed waterline
for reference .
Include pedestrian ramps along Estrella Del Mar Road as noted on the redlines. Clarify
if a mid-block pedestrian ramp is required to help compliment the other pedestrian ramp
across the street.
20. Revise the site plan to demonstrate the terminus of the proposed storm drain. Will it
connect to an existing facility or surface drain? The current plans do not
Enclosed is a redlined check-print of the project. This check print must be returned with the
revised plans to facilitate continued staff review.
Fire Department:
The following comments were previously forwarded to your team and remain unresolved as of
the date of this correspondence:
1. Please submit plans showing the point of connection in the street, including detector
check assembly, for lateral service which will serve the ballroom fire sprinkler system
(recommended Febco 876N or equivalent).
2. Fire hydrants are required at 300 foot intervals around the entire proposed building. A
minimum of 1 ,000 gpm per hydrant at 20 psi with two hydrants flowing for two hour
duration is required. Please submit calculations for said fire flow. If hydrants are
proposed off private fire service to building, please show.
3 . Please eliminate the hydrant shown out in the parking lot. Hydrants shall be around the
building at 300 foot spacing and a minimum of 40 feet from the building. Blue dot
reflectors are required in the parking area to identify hydrant locations. Key valves
serving the hydrants shall not be placed where they would be located under parked cars.
4. Please note that all locations of fire appurtenances shall be approved by the Carlsbad
Fire Department. Upon final determination of the discretionary permits, mylar plans
must be submitted to the Fire Department with a signature block for Fire marshal
approval.

RE: LA COSTA RESORT AND SPA
Dear Ms. Browning:
The La Costa Resort and Spa is presently remodeling the facility located at 2100 Costa Del Mar
in Carlsbad CA. Since the site is zoned as Commercial, much of the work is being done by right,
which means that no discretionary approvals are needed from the City of Carlsbad. For a review
of the improvements proposed or already received, please contact the Building Department at
(760) 602-2719. I cannot copy the building plans as they are copyrighted information and
approval would need to be secured from the plan owners. RLN Design, 200 Baker Street, Costa
Mesa, CA 92626, (714) 641-0191 is processing the improvements.
There is also proposed a new ballroom addition. This application does require an amendment to
their Conditional Use Permit. Please find attached copies of the past approvals, the current
project description, summary of all the uses on site, and plans of the new building. The plans are
not the complete set, but probably the most useful information. The project will be going to public
hearing in the next few months. You can subscribe, for free, to the City of Carlsbad to receive the
public notices, agendas, and minutes of the Planning Commission. Please see the City's website
at www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us and find the planning department and follow the subscription
procedures. Please contact Mike Grim in our office at (760) 602-4623 for more specific
information, as he is the project planner.
Please remit a check payable to the City of Carlsbad in the amount of $37.60 to cover the cost of
copies and postage.
Please call me at (760) 602-4613 if you have additional questions, or visit our office to view the

Sewer Availability Letter for The Ballroom Building at La Costa Resort and Spa
Dear Mr. Cusick:
The subject property is currently within the Leucadia County Water District's (LCWD) sewer service
boundary and the existing facility is served by LCWD. We understand that the proposed Ballroom
Building will include seating for as many as 1,000. This translates to an increase of 143 Equivalent
Dwelling Units (EDUs) to the existing La Costa Resort & Spa. Our analysis of the existing system
indicates sewer is available for this use with no new regional facility upgrades required. Prior to obtaining
sewer permits for the additional level of sewer service, LCWD requirements must be met and are outlined
below in the LCWD Standard Specifications including:
•
•
•
•
Payment of plan check fees paid to LCWD
Complete Plan Check process
Development Agreement with LCWD prior to start of construction
Pay all other LCWD applicable fees and deposits
Connection fees for any additional EDUs must be paid to the District not later than when pulling building
permits from the City of Carlsbad. The District assesses connection fees of $3,950 for each additional
Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) as defined in the LCWD Standard Specifications. The District also
assesses an annual sewer service fee of $176 per EDU per year. Connection fees and sewer service fees
are subject to change from time to time by action of the LCWD Board of Directors.
