Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
3
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
4
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of DKN HOTEL - CDP 05-14 based on the
6 following findings and subject to the following conditions:
7 Findings:
° 1. That the portion of the proposed development in the Mello II Segment of the Local
n Coastal Program is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all
applicable policies in that the site is designated with approval of GPA 05-05, ZC 05-
10 02, and LCPA 05-02 for hotel/motel development and the project consists of the
construction of 104 hotel units on a .84 acre site; the development does not obstruct
views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public rights-of-way or otherwise
damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone; and no agricultural activities, sensitive
resources, geological instability, or coastal access opportunities exist on the site.
13 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
14 of the Coastal Act in that no coastal access areas or water oriented recreational
activities exist on or near the site.
15
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.203 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
18 Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, 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.
21 4. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
22 to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
23
Conditions:24
05 Note: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to building
permit or grading permit, whichever occurs first.

future building permits; deny, revoke, or further condition all certificates of occupancy
2 issued under the authority of approvals herein granted; record a notice of violation on the
property title; institute and prosecute litigation to compel their compliance with said
3 conditions or seek damages for their violation. No vested rights are gained by Developer
or a successor in interest by the City's approval of this Coastal Development Permit.
c 2. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require the Developer to make, all corrections
and modifications to the Coastal Development Permit documents, as necessary to make
6 them internally consistent and in conformity with the final action on the project.
Development shall occur substantially as shown on the approved Exhibits. Any proposed
7 development, different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
8 3. Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local laws and
9 regulations in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
10 4. If any condition for construction of any public improvements or facilities, or the payment
of any fees in-lieu thereof, imposed by this approval or imposed by law on this Project are
challenged, this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section
12 66020. If any such condition is determined to be invalid, this approval shall be invalid
unless the City Council determines that the project without the condition complies with
13 all requirements of law.
14 5. Developer/Operator shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold
harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers, employees, agents, and

or indirectly, from (a) City's approval and issuance of this Coastal Development Permit,
17 (b) City's approval or issuance of any permit or action, whether discretionary or
nondiscretionary, in connection with the use contemplated herein, and
(c) Developer/Operator's installation and operation of the facility permitted hereby,
IQ including without limitation, any and all liabilities arising from the emission by the
facility of electromagnetic fields or other energy waves or emissions. This obligation
20 survives until all legal proceedings have been concluded and continues even if the City's
approval is not validated.
21
~~ 6. This approval is granted subject to the approval of the Negative Declaration, GPA 05-
05, ZC 05-02 and SDP 05-04 and is subject to all conditions contained in Planning
23 Commission Resolutions No. 6254, 6255, 6256, 6257 and 6259 for those other approvals.
24 7. The applicant shall apply for and be issued building permits for this project within two
(2) years of approval or this coastal development permit will expire unless extended per
25 Section 21.201.210 of the Zoning Ordinance.
26 8. The applicant shall apply for and obtain a grading permit issued by the City Engineer.
27
9. The project site is located in an area that may contain soil material that is suitable
2° 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
PCRESONO. 6258 -3-
exported from the project site to determine the materials suitability for sand
2 replenishment. Material testing shall be conducted pursuant to the requirements of
the Carlsbad Opportunistic Beach Fill Program (COBFP). If the material is deemed
3 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
c 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
6 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
7 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
9 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
10 the beach is permitted per the COBFP.
