NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES HILTON CONFERENCE CENTER - CDP 97-40(A) based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal
Program and all applicable policies in that no prime agricultural lands exist on or near
the site; no environmentally sensitive habitats exist on or near the developed site;
the existing pedestrian circulation on the property’s frontages with Palomar Airport
Road and Carlsbad Boulevard, as well as the signalized pedestrian crossing at
Solamar Drive, provide sufficient access to the coastal resources west of Carlsbad
Boulevard; any erosion will be controlled by grading in conformance with
applicable City standards; and the proposed one-story conference center building
does not impede any significant visual panoramas of the coastline.
The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that the existing pedestrian circulation on the property’s
frontages with Palomar Airport Road and Carlsbad Boulevard, as well as the
signalized pedestrian crossing at Solamar Drive, provide sufficient access to the
coastal resources west of Carlsbad Boulevard.
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.03 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the City’s
Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban
Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management
Program (JUMP) to avoid increased urban run off, pollutants and soil erosion. No steep
slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the site is not located in
an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
The project site is not located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according
to Map X of the Land Use Plan certified September 1980, and, therefore, is not
subject to the provisions of the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202
of the Zoning Ordinance).
The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the
sea and, therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline
Development Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance).
The project is not located within the Mello I segment of the Local Coastal Program
and, therefore, is not subject to the Coastal Resource Overlay Zone Mello I Segment
Ordinance (Chapter 21.205 of the Zoning Ordinance).
