CASENAME: LA COSTA RESORT AND SPA MASTER PLAN CASE NO: MP 03-02 WHEREAS, KSL, ”Developer/Owner”, has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as See Planning Commission Resolution No. 5697 (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Master Plan as shown on Exhibit “Y” dated August 4, 2004 attached hereto and Exhibits ‘IMP 03-02/A-Q”, dated August 4,2004 on file in the Carlsbad Planning Department LA COSTA RESORT AND SPA MASTER PLAN - MP 03-02 as provided by Chapter 21.38 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 18th day of August 2004, consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Master Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) B) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of LA COSTA RESORT AND SPA MASTER PLAN - MP 03-02 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Fin dings : 1. The Planning Commission fini-,; that the project, as conc itioned herein, is in conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated August 4, 2004 including, but not limited to the following: Land Use Element policies C.10 and C.13 pertain to the subject project in that Policy C.10 encourages tourist-destination developments where appropriate, provided there is protection for adjacent residential areas, which this project provides in the form of the mitigation measures addressing parking and special event operations. Policy C.13 requires non-residential projects to be monitored for parking adequacy, which is part of the standard master plan process. In addition, this project’s mitigation measures restrict the ability to issue building permits for the last phase of commercial dwelling units unless a determination of parking adequacy can be made by the Planning Director. The proposed master plan provides for the buildout of the La Costa Resort complex with commercial dwelling units while strengthening the special event procedures and requirements to better protect the local community. The proposed master plan is consistent with the General Plan by implementing appropriate designations without any conflicts or inconsistencies with zoning regulations or site-specific conditions. 2. That all necessary public facilities can be provided concurrent with need and adequate provisions have been provided to implement those portions of the Capital Improvement Program applicable to the subject property, in that the project does not require any major public improvements since adequate infrastructure already exists and the master plan is conditioned to comply with the Zone 6 Local Facilities Management Zone Plan which will ensure the availability of public services and facilities compliant with the City’s Growth Management Program. 3. That the proposed commercial and industrial uses will be appropriate in area, location, and overall design to the purpose intended, that the design and development are such as to create an environment of sustained desirability and stability, and that such development will meet performance standards established by Title 2 1, in that no industrial or heavy commercial uses that are subject to Title 21 performance standards are proposed with the resort master plan. Existing resort and recreational uses will remain onsite such as the tennis courts, ballroom, spa, and golf courses. The redevelopment of certain areas with commercial dwelling units and parking areas will comply with applicable development standards including setbacks and building height, which in most cases are comparable to the intensity and development standards that would pertain if the existing zoning and General Plan designations onsite were not proposed for amendment. 4. That in the case of institutional, recreational, and other similar nonresidential uses, such development will be proposed, and surrounding areas are protected from any adverse effects from such development, in that several aspects of the project’s Mitigated Negative Declaration and corresponding mitigation measures address the protection of the adjacent neighborhood by new special event procedures, and formalizing the requirement for a Planning Director determination of parking adequacy prior to building permit issuance for the last phase of commercial dwelling unit PC RES0 NO. 5700 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 5. 6. 7. development. In addition, standard master plan procedures allow for city-initiated master plan amendments to bring any operational or land use issues before the Planning Commission in a public hearing context for resolution. This further protects the residential area surrounding the resort property from adverse impacts. That the streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry the anticipated traffic thereon, in that the El Camino Real roadway is designated as Prime Arterial with a design capacity in excess of 40,000 ADT. The current Resort trip generation is estimated at 2,600 ADT; the proposed increase in vehicular traffic based on the buildout of the proposed commercial dwelling units is 1,624 ADT for a total of 4,199 ADT sourcing from the resort site. The increase in ADT to the Resort equates to approximately 4% of the current total ADT on El Camino Real. Therefore, the streets in the area are suitable to accommodate the anticipated traffic generated with the exception of special events, which will be subject to a separate permit process and additional criteria and regulations, including the applicable components of this project’s Mitigated Negative Declaration. That the area surrounding the development is or can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the development, in that while the Resort has been in existence for nearly 40 years in combination with the adjacent residential neighborhood, the master plan does involve development of areas previously used as parking or resort units. However, the underlying land use designations currently in place would allow for a similar scale of development with high and medium-high density residential development. Therefore, the Resort’s operations and special event efforts will be monitored over time to assist in promoting the most feasible compatibility between the project site and adjacent homes. That appropriate measures are proposed to mitigate any adverse environmental impact as noted in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, in that mitigation measures are established for impacts to Short Term Construction Traffic Impacts, Special Event Traffic Impacts, and Parking Adequacy. These mitigation measures are intended to regulate the Resort’s operation and construction efforts; and to provide master plan-mandated protective measures for the adjacent neighborhood that were not developed nor applied previously at La Costa. Conditions: 1. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require Developer to make, all corrections and modifications to the Master Plan documents necessary to make them internally consistent and in conformity with final action on the project. Development shall occur substantially as shown in the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval. 2. This approval is granted subject to the approval of Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, GPA 03-08/ZC 03-041MP 149S/CT 03-01/PUD 03-O6/SUP 03-O6/SUP 03-03 and is subject to all conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolutions No. 5697, 5698, 5699, 5701, 5702, 5703, 5704, and 5705 for those other approvals incorporated herein by reference.

This master plan shall supercede all previous land use regulations associated with the site, including MP 149 and CUP 258 and all related amendments to CUP 258. CUP 258 and related amendments addressed the Ballroom, which is now regulated as an allowed land use that does not require a separate conditional use permit within the regulations for Planning Area 5 of the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan. MP 149 only covered a portion of the area now covered by MP 03-02, and it is superceded by this master plan. Special Event Permits at La Costa shall be subject to applicable master plan provisions. All land uses and operations within the master plan are subject to on going monitoring to promote land use compatibility and operational function; and to enforce various programs contained within the master plan such as signage and stormwater runoff control. The city may initiate a master plan amendment at any time to initiate public hearings to address any issues. The shared parking analysis contained in master plan appendix item, Walker Parking Assessment, is supported for the proposed 50% reduction in total spaces required. This support is based on the concurrent approval and implementation of the project’s Mitigated Negative Declaration and corresponding mitigation measures. Developer shall implement, or cause the implementation of, the LA COSTA RESORT AND SPA MASTER PLAN Project Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
