Commission of HILTON CARLSBAD BEACH RESORT RP 05-11 based on
24 the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
25 General and Redevelopment Plan Consistency Findings:
9/-
1. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental
27 settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will
not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
28 the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or
traffic circulation, in that the proposed 215 room hotel use is appropriate in the
PC RESO NO. 6555 -2-
Travel/Recreation Commercial Land Use and Tourist Commercial (C-T) Zoning
2 designations, that the proposed development meets the minimum development
standards for the C-T Zone and the Poinsettia Properties Specific Plan and that
3 adequate separation and buffers will be provided to ensure compatibility with the
nearby Single-Family Residential and Commercial Uses.4
2. That the project is consistent with the following goals of the South Carlsbad Coastal
Redevelopment Area Plan:
6
a. Clean - Eliminate blight and environmental deficiencies in the Project Area. The
7 project will be replacing businesses (kennel, wood pile, refrigeration, and auto
body) that are incompatible with the goals of the South Carlsbad Coastal
° Redevelopment Area Plan as well as the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan
n with a use that is desired for the area. Furthermore, the project consolidates 9
lots under separate ownership into two lots with one owner.
10 b. Reuse - Assembling of land into parcels for modern, integrated development with
improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the Project Area. Rezoning,
11 redesigning and developing properties which are stagnant or improperly utilized.
The project entails a parcel map that consolidates nine lots into two lots. In
addition, Ponto Drive will be constructed to serve the project along with a
\ 3 pedestrian sidewalk along Carlsbad Boulevard.
c. Play - Develop new beach and coastal recreational opportunities. The project
14 includes uses such as meeting facilities, spa, restaurant, and pool that will
provide recreational opportunities.
d. Shop - Enhance commercial and recreational functions in the Project Area.
i/- Increase parking and open space amenities. The project includes uses such as
meeting facilities, spa, restaurant, pool, surface parking lot, basement garage,
17 and a parking structure.
e. Help - Strengthen the economic base of the Project Area and the City by installation
18 of needed on and off-site improvements to stimulate new commercial/residential
1q expansion, employment and economic growth. Ponto Drive will be constructed
which will assist in stimulating new development in the Ponto Area.
20 f Preserve - Implement performance criteria to assure quality site design and
environmental standards to provide unity and integrity to the entire Project Area
21 development. The project will be using Craftsman/Cottage style architecture
with varied quality building materials such as stucco, siding, shingles,
contrasting white painted wood trim, white composite windows and doors.
23 3. That the project is consistent with the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan
24 guidelines for the craftsman style Garden Hotel and includes the encouraged uses
such as meeting facilities, restaurant, commercial parking, parking structure, and
^ improvements such as the circulation system including Ponto Drive which is two
26 lanes with a median.
27
28
PC RESO NO. 6555 -3-
4. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
2 that the project complies with all City policies and standards without the need for a
variance from development standards.
3
5. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
4 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
5 and screens adjacent land uses from the outdoor recreational component of the site
with building mass.
7
6. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the project takes vehicular access from Ponto
Drive with adequate capacity to serve the project. The project generates 2,150 ADT
and the improvements to Ponto Drive, Carlsbad Boulevard, and those roadway
10 segments located in the City of Encinitas as identified in the Ponto Beachfront
Village Vision Plan Program Environmental Impact Report are adequate to handle
11 the project ADT and the application of the common parking facilities provision of
the Parking Ordinance and allowing a 15% parking reduction in required parking
on the sight will not create an increase in traffic generation and will therefore not
have a greater impact on the surrounding street system than what was previously
analyzed in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan certified Environmental
14 Impact Report (EIR 05-05) because the outdoor dining area, poolside grill, and
meeting rooms will be predominantly used by existing onsite customers. Parking
and site circulation will not be impacted.
7. The Planning Director has determined that:
17 a. the project is a(n) subsequent activity of the Ponto Beachfront Village Plan for
1 g which a program EIR was prepared, and a notice for the activity has been given,
which includes statements that this activity is within the scope of the program
19 approved earlier, and that the program EIR adequately describes the activity for
the purposes of CEQA) [15168( c)(2) and (e)]; and
b. this project is consistent with the Vision Plan cited above; and
2\ c. EIR 05-05 was certified in connection with the prior plan; and
d. the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant
22 in the prior EIR; and
e. none of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent EIR or a Supplemental EIR
under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist; and
24 f. all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Ponto
Beachfront Village Vision Plan EIR 05-05 which are appropriate to this
25 Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project.
26 8. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 22 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. 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
PCRESONO. 6555 -4-
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
2 project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
3 a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified

9. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020) and Landscape Manual Section I B and the Ponto Beachfront
Village Vision Plan.
10. The project is consistent with the Poinsettia Properties Specific Plan (SP 210) in that
the project has provided a 34 foot setback from Ponto Drive and a 40 foot setback
11 from Carlsbad Blvd; the building height is 25 feet and one story within the
boundaries of SP 210 and the lot coverage does not exceed 21,780 square feet.
