of Site Development Plan 05-04x1 for the demolition of an existing hotel,
restaurant, and single family residence and for the constmction of a 3-stOiy, 104-

side of Carlsbad Boulevard between Pine Avenue and Oak Avenue in Land Use
District 9 of the Carlsbad Village Area Master Plan, in the Village Review and
Mello II Segments of the Local Coastal Program and in Local Facilities
Management Zone 1.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 6919
APPROVING a retroactive two-year extension of Site Development Plan 05-04 based upon the
findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The applicant has requested a two-year time extension (from August 9, 2012 to August 8, 2014)
of RP 05-03x1 and Site Development Plan SDP 05-04x1 to allow the demolition of an existing
hotel, restaurant, and single family residence and for the constmction of a 3-story, 104-room
hotel project on prope1iy located at 3136 Carlsbad Boulevard on the east side of Carlsbad
Boulevard between Pine A venue and Oak A venue. The applicant, DKN Hotels, filed for an
extension in a timely manner on, April 18, 2012. The reason for the request is associated with
the economy and related funding to develop the prope1iy. The applicant has been working with
the City on project design changes due to new st01mwater restrictions.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The subject prope1iy consists of two separate parcels (203-250-08 & 26) that are cunently owned
by the applicant. The total site area is .84 acres of which, .35 acres is located within the Village
Review Area with frontage along Carlsbad Boulevard. The remaining .49 acres is located
outside the Village Review area boundaries and is within the Commercial Tourist Zone and
fronts along Lincoln Street.
Cunently a 28 room two-st01y motel (Surf Motel), a 1,125 square foot restaurant (The Almenian
Cafe), and a single-family structure occupy the site, all of which are proposed for demolition.
The subject prope1iy is bordered by a 7-11 convenience store and other retail uses to the no1ih, a
multi-family residential use to the south, multi-family residential and a proposed mixed-use
project to the east and Carlsbad Boulevard to the west.
SDP 05-04x2 – DKN HOTEL
November 7, 2012
PAGE 2
The previously approved project consists of the construction of a 62,354 square foot, three-story hotel with on-site amenities for guests including a breakfast room, business center, and ground-
floor outdoor dining areas, as well as roof-top dining areas that front Carlsbad Boulevard with an
ocean view. The interior of the hotel includes amenities such as conference rooms, a business
library, guest laundry, a swimming pool & spa, and an exercise room. On-site improvements include 125 underground parking spaces, a circulation drive aisle, trash enclosures, exterior lights, and a six-foot tall masonry perimeter wall. The guest rooms vary with king, double,
accessible double and suite rooms.
IV. APPROVAL PROCESS The project requires an extension of a Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit
for the portion located within the Commercial Tourist Zone (C-T). The Planning Commission
will take action on the request for an extension of the Site Development Permit and is the final
approving body. The extension of the Coastal Development Permit is an administrative action and will be acted upon by the City Planner as a subsequent action. The City Council will be the only and final decision making authority on the Major Village Review Permit.
SDP 05-04 was approved by the Planning Commission and Design Review Board on March 7,
2007 subject to a condition that the approvals would become null and void if building permits were not issued within 24 months from the date of project approval. The project was subsequently approved by the Coastal Commission on August 7, 2008. The original project
approvals were to expire on August 7, 2010. The project requested and was granted a two year
extension on August 4, 2010. The applicant made a timely filing for another two year extension
of the project on April 18, 2012 and may therefore be considered for the extension request. Accordingly, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission (Design Review Board is no longer in place) approve the requested two year extension granted from August 9, 2012 resulting
in a new expiration date of August 8, 2014.
The project also requires an extension of a Major Review Permit because a portion of the property is located within the Village Review (V-R) area and involves new construction of a building with a building permit valuation greater than $150,000. The Major Village Review
Permit serves as the Site Development Plan required by Chapter 21.35 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code for the portion of the property that falls within the V-R zone. An extension of the Coastal
Development Permit is also required. Staff will forward the request for the extension of the Major Village Review Permit and Coastal Development Permit for those two permits to the Community Development Commission pursuant to Section 2 of the Carlsbad Village Master
Plan and Design Manual for approval. A recommendation from a lower recommending decision
authority is not required in advance of this action by the final permit authority.
V. ANALYSIS
A. The DKN Hotel project remains consistent with all applicable plans, policies and
regulations listed below:
1. General Plan; Village Review (V-R) and Travel/Recreation Commercial (T-R) Land Use designations;

not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or
traffic circulation, in that the proposed 104 room hotel use is appropriate in the
Travel/Recreation Commercial Land Use and Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zoning
designations, that the proposed development meets the minimum development
standards for the C-T Zone and that adequate separation and buffers would ensure
compatibility with the adjacent Multi-Family Residential and Commercial Uses.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the project complies with all City policies and standards without the need for a
variance from development standards.
That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained, in that the project provides the required setbacks,
incorporates landscaping consistent with the City of Carlsbad Landscape Manual

replenishment. Material testing shall be conducted pursuant to the requirements of
the Carlsbad Opportunistic Beach Fill Program (COBFP). If the material is deemed
suitable for beach replenishment pursuant to the guidelines established in the
COBFP, the developer shall comply with the process outlined in the COBFP to
transport and place the beach quality material on the beach site identified in the
COBFP. The city may refuse the placement of the exported material on the beach,
if it is determined that any aspect of the project does not comply with the provisions
of the COBFP (i.e. seasonal restrictions on beach fill activities, quantity and quality
of the material, etc.). The COBFP prohibits placement of beach fill on the beach
during the summer season (between the last Monday in May, Memorial Day, and
the first Monday in September, Labor Day); therefore, if project construction will
result in the export of the soil material from the site occurring during this summer
timeframe, the requirements of this condition shall not apply, but may be voluntary
if the developer chooses to store the exported material until placement of sand on
the beach is permitted per the COBFP.

1. The Design, Review Board finds that the project, as conditioned herein and with the
findings contained herein for the north sideyard setback variance, is in conformance
with the City's General Plan, the Carlsbad Village Area :Redevelopment Plan and the
Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual, and all pertment
provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code based on the facts set forth in the staff report
dated March 7, 2007 including, but not limited !O the following:
a. The project is consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan in that it provides
for a tourist/traveler serving use normally associated with coastal highways
(Carlsbad Boulevard) in an appropriate location within the Village. The use
in turn provides an additional customer base for local restaurants, specialty
shops~ and nearby convenience services. Additionally, the project provides
new economic development by replacing the existing underutilized uses on
the subject property with a new hotel use. The General Plan objective is to
implement the Redevelopment Pia~ through the comprehensive Village
Master Plan and Design Manual. By providing more hotel lodging, the
project helps to create a lively, interesting social environment by encouraging
and increasing the opportunity for 24-hour life in the Village, which provides
the necessary customer base to attract complementary uses. The project
reinforces the pedestrian-orientation desired for the downtown area with a
hotel location that provides an opportunity for hotel patrons to walk to
shopping, recreation, and mass transit functions. The projects proximity to
existing bus routes and mass transit will help to further the goal of providing
new economic development near transportation corridors. Furthermore, the
project will provide a strong street presence with extensive architectural
relief, including outdoor patios looking out over Carlsbad Boulevard and
parking that is out-of-site and below grade. Overall, the new hotel will
enhance the Village as a place for living and working.
b. The project is consistent with the land use standards set forth in the Village

Master Plan in that it will provide a permitted use (hotel) in an appropriate
location within Land Use District 9 of the Village Redevelopment Area. The
proposed project assists in satisfying the goals and objectives set forth for
Land Use District 9 through the following actions: 1) it establishes the Village
as a quality shopping, working, and living environment providing additional
lodging for visitors who will shop and dine within the Village adding to the
lively environment within the downtown area, 2) it improves the pedestrian
circulation in the Village Area by providing lodging in close proximity to
both bus and rail mass transit options and will thus encourage and promote
the use of mass transit, further improving vehicular circulation in the
ViUage, 3) it stimulates property 'improvements and new improvements in the
Village ,by providing an appropriate. intensity of development that is
compatible with the surrounding area and may serve as a catalyst for future

Village Area by replacing older structures with· an aesthetically pleasing
__ building that meets the requirements of the design gui4elines for the ViUage. . .
The project as designed is consistent with . the de':'elopment standards for
·Land Use District 9, design guidelines, and other appli~~ble regulations set
forth in the ViUage Master Plan and Design Manual, wi~~ the exception of
the requested variance. · ·
d. The findings required allowing reductions in the front y~_rd setback and the
south side yard setback at a level below the max~_um and within the
· standard range are as follows. First, the propose~-se~back will not have an
adverse impact on surrounding properties as the red~'ced. 'setback will allow
_.for the outdoor dining areas and the business center·to. be· close to the street
reinforcing the pedestrian interaction along ~a~lsbad Boulevard helping to
create a lively commercial block frontage. The· reduced front yard setback
will, therefore, encourage and maintain the ' existing visitor-serving
commercial continuity _and synergy that exists _along Carlsbad Boulevard
adding to the shopping experience in the Village. The reduced side yard
standard will help to break up the mass of the building allowing other
portions of the building to be setback further. Second, the reduced
standards will assist in developing a project that meets the goals of the
Village Redevelopment Area and is consistent with the land use objectives in
that the project will replace existing blighted structures with a visually
appealing project that has scale and character that will improve the
appearance and condition of the current Village hotel lodging stock helping
to stimulate property improvements and further new development iin the
Village. The project will help to further establish Carlsbad Village as a
quality shopping and living environment by providing an attraction for
additional tourist-serving uses. Lastly, the reduced standards will assist in
creating a project design that is interesting, visually appealing and reinforces
the Village character of the area through setbacks that provide adequate
space for landscaping and decorative paving at the ground floor allowing
building recesses and relief along the various building planes. The reduced
standards will assist in creating greater architectural articulation adjacent to

in reinforcing the Village character.
e. The existing streets can accommodate the estimated ADTs and all required
public right-of-way has been or will be dedicated and has been or will be
improved to serve the development. The pedestrian spaces and circulation
have been designed in relationship to the land use and available parking.
Pedestrian circulation is provided through pedestrian-oriented building
design, landscaping, and hardscape. Public facilities have been or will be
constructed to serve the proposed project. The project has been conditioned
to dev~lop and implement a program of "best management practices" for the
elimination and reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are

f. The proposed project will not have an adverse impact on any open space
withiu the surrounding area. The project is consistent with the Open Space
requirements for new development within the Village Redevelopment Area
-and the City's Landscape Manual.
g. Th.e proposed project has ~een conditioned to comply with the Uniform
Building and Fire Codes adopted by the City to ensure that the project meets
appropriate fire protection and other safety standards.
The Design Review Board finds as follows to allow a variance for the north side yard
setback that is below the minimum of the standard range:
a. That because of special circumstances applicable to -the subject property,
including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application
of the zoning ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other
property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification, in that the shape
of the lot is unusual due to it's "wedged" shape configuration at the north
end of the site fronting Carlsbad Boulevard. This shape restricts the design
flexibility for new visitor-serving commercial uses. However, through the
reduction (variance), the applicant is able to provide a large enough outdoor
dining area at the north end of the site that will serve to reinforce the
pedestrian interaction between hotel patrons. and pedestrians helping to
generate a lively commercial block frontage with visitor-serving commercial
continuity. This is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village that
include attracting additional tourist serving commercial uses and reinforcing
the pedestrian commercial continuity within the Village commercial districts.
The additional outdoor dining area, enabled through the variance, is
necessary at the north corner of the site in order to maintain the existing
visitor-serving commercial continuity and synergy that exists along Carlsbad
Boulevard.
b. That the variance shall not constitute a grant of special privileges mconsistent
with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the

subject property is located and is subject to any conditions necessary to ensure
compliance with this finding, in that the property to the north currently has a
zero foot side yard and rear yard setback. By allowing the subject project to
abut the property line to the north, the project will share the same setback
standard as the property to the north. Allowing the setback standard below
the 5-foot minimum will eliminate an area between the proposed and existing
building that could collect trash and debris and eventually become a health
and safety concern.
That the variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise
expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the subject property, in that
a hotel use is a permitted use within Land Use District 9 (Tourism Support
Area) of the V-R zoning designation.
-~-----~-~-----~---~ --~~-----=~--~----~--~~-----~-~ -~-------------------------
That the variance is consistent with the general purpose-and intent of the general
plan, Carlsbad village area redevylopmenf plan, 'and. the Carlsbad Village
Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual, '.in that the standards
established in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual were intended to
be somewhat flexible in order to encourage 'div_ersity and variety of
development and to take into consideration the unique conditions associated
with many of the properties in the redevelopment ~rea. --The reduced side
yard setback is consistent with the existing site conditions to the north where
the property to the north currently has a zero foot side _yard and rear yard
setback. The requested variance in no way changes tlie use or development
of the site in a manner that is inconsistent with··the general purpose and
intent of the General Plan, Carlsbad Village Area ·Redevelopment Plan, and
the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual.
In addition, in the coastal zone, the variance is consistent with and implements the
requirements of the certified local coastal program and that the variance does not
reduce or in any' manner adversely affect the protection of coastal resources as
specified in the zones included in this title, and the variance implements the
purposes of zones adopted to implement the local coastal program land use plan,
in that the variance is consistent with the intent of the requirements of the
Village Master Plan and Design Manual, which functions as the Local
Coastal Program for the area. As long as the project is consistent with the
Village Master Plan and Design Manual, the project is consistent with the
Local Coastal Program. The variance allows for a permitted hotel use with
outdoor seating, which is consistent with the Village Master Plan and Design
Manual and therefore is consistent with the Local Coastal Program.
The project is consistent with the City-wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1, and all City public facility policies and
ordmances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the

practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices or devices to prevent or
reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater, receiving water or stormwater conveyance
system to the maximum extent practicable. Developer shall notify prospective owners and
tenants of the above requirements.
Developer shall complete and submit to the City Engineer a Project Threat Assessment Form
(PTAF) pursuant to City Engineering Standards. Concurrent with the PTAF, Developer shall
also submit the appropriate Tier level Storm Water Compliance form and appropriate Tier
level Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as determined by the completed PTAF
all to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
This project is subject to 'Priority Development Project' requirements. Developer shall
prepare and process a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP), subject to City Engineer
approval, to demonstrate how this project meets new/current storm water treatment
requirements per the City's Standard Urban Storm Water Management Plan (SUSMP), latest
version. In addition to new treatment control BMP selection criteria in the SUSMP, the
Developer shall use low impact development (site design) approaches to ensure that runoff
from impervious areas (roofs, pavement, etc) are drained through landscaped (pervious) areas
prior to discharge. Developer shall pay all applicable SWMP plan review and inspection fees
per the City's latest fee schedule.
Developer acknowledges upcoming hydromodification (runoff reduction) requirements may
impact how this project treats and/or retains storm runoff. Hydromodification involves
detailed site design and analysis to reduce the amount of post-development run-off by
mimicking the natural hydrologic function of the site, preserving natural open-spaces and
natural drainage channels, minimizing use of new impervious surfaces, and promoting onsite
infiltration and evaporation of run-off. During final design, Developer shall demonstrate
compliance with storm water requirements to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Developer shall incorporate measures with this project to comply with Standard Stormwater
Requirements per the City's Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plan (SUSMP). These
measures include, but are not limited to: 1) reducing the use of new impervious surfaces
(paving), 2) designing drainage from impervious surfaces to discharge over pervious areas
(e.g.: turf, landscape areas), 3) and designing trash enclosures to avoid contact with storm
runoff, all to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

This approval is granted subject to the approval of the Negative Declaration and RP 05-

319 and 321 for those other approvals and incorporated by reference herein.
The applicant shall apply for and be issued building permits for this project within
twenty-four (24) months of approval or this coastal development permit will expire unless
extended per Section 21.81.160 of the Carlsbad Mumcipal Code.
Prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall apply for and obtain a
grading permit issued by the City Engineer.
The project site is located in an area that may contain soil material that is suitable
for beach sand replenishment. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, and as
part of the grading plan preparation, the developer shall test the soil material to be
exported from the project site to determine the materials suitability for sand
replenishment. Material testing shall be conducted pursuant to the requirements of
the Carlsbad Opportunistic Beach Fill Program (COBFP). If the material is deemed
suitable for beach replenishment pursuant to the guidelines established in the
COBFP, the developer shall comply with the process outlined in the COBFP to
transport and place the beach quality material on the beach site identified in the
COBFP. The city may refuse the placement of the exported material on the beach,
if it is determined that any aspect of the project does not comply with the provisions
of the COBFP (i.e. seasonal restrictions on beach fill activities, quantity and quality
of the material, etc.). The COBFP prohibits placement of beach fill on the beach
during the summer season (between the last Monday in May, Memorial Day, and
the first Monday in September, Labor Day); therefore, if project construction will
result in the export of the soil material from the site occurring during this summer
timeframe, the requirements of this condition shall not apply, but may be voluntary
if the developer chooses to store the exported material until placement of sand on
the beach is permitted per the COBFP.
