Planning:
General
1. General Plan and zoning designations for the property are as follows:
a. General Plan: VC, Visitor Commercial;
b. Zoning: CT, Commercial Tourist Zone; and
c. The project is located within the Mello II segment of the Coastal Zone. The Coastal Land Use
designation and zone are the same as the General Plan and Zoning referenced above.
2. The project requires the following permits:
a. Consistency Determination (CD). Pursuant to Housing and Redevelopment Commission
Resolution No. 474, the development of the Hilton Carlsbad Beach Resort Hotel (RP 05-
11/CDP 09-04) included the construction of 215 rooms and 10,385 square feet of
conference space. Prior to the construction of the hotel, a Consistency Determination was
approved on February 22, 2010, (CD 09-16) to allow for several modifications to the project,
including a 2,918-square-foot reduction in conference facilities at the northern end of the
hotel. As the proposal to add 3,112 square feet of conference room space is similar in size
to what was originally analyzed and approved, represents less than a 10 percent increase in
