ATTEST:
Figures 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, found on pages 23 through 27, identify the proposed
location of land uses and the development program to be achieved on the developable
portion of the Carlsbad Ranch, which is expected to build out over a 10 to 15 year time
period.
The acreage contained in the Parcelization map on page 27 does not directly
correspond with the land use acreage as contained in the Zone 13 LFMP. The
Parcelization map provides separate lots for the developable land and the roadways. While
the land use maps contained in the Zone 13 LFMP provides acreage that includes the
adjacent roadways in the land use area.
The plans and maps provided in this specific plan are conceptual in nature only. Site
Development Plans and/or Conditional Use Permits will be required prior to development in
any of the Planning Areas within the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan, or as otherwise
stated within the Implementation section of each Planning Area^
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan 22
E. PLANNING AREA 4 - LEGOLAND Carlsbad
The focus of LEGOLAND Carlsbad will be on the provision of fun and creative,
educational experiences for children in the age group 2 through 13 and their families. The
planning and design shall comply with the following criteria:
Establish the child as the focal point
Provide for family interaction and fun
Provide Environmental sensitivity including designing with nature, energy
conservation, reuse, and recycling
Create a "park within a park"
Facilitate participation and creativity
Create a world of learning
Develop theme areas corresponding to LEGO brands
Provide comfort and quality for guests and staff
Create synergy with the local community and environment
The overall concept of LEGOLAND Carlsbad may be described as a "park within a
park". A significant portion of LEGOLAND Carlsbad will consist of attractive landscape
areas with an emphasis on native and water conserving landscapes. Figure 36 on page
116 provides an overall planning summary of LEGOLAND Carlsbad.
1. PLANNING AREAS
The general planning areas and acreages, which make up LEGOLAND
Carlsbad are shown on Figure 35 on page 115. The approximately 128-acre site
consists of few-two (24) distinct planning areas. These consist of the Inner Park
and_7 the Outer Park, the Parking and Circulation and the Service and Administration.
A brief description of the approximate size and location of each of the planning
areas is provided below.
a. Inner Park
The Inner Park is approximately 35-TO.acres in size and includes both
Active Clusters and Passive Clusters. The Inner Park planning area is
located in the eenfral-northern portion of the LEGO property and serves as
the core of LEGOLAND Carlsbad.
The Inner Park is accessed through an entrance structure with
ticketing booths and turnstiles, an entrance building with guest related
facilities and retail uses, restaurant/cafe buildings, public toilets and comfort
rooms, and the themed attractions buildings.
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan 111
The key elements of LEGOLAND Carlsbad are the "Active Clusters"
and "Passive Clusters". These key elements are shown on Figure 36 on
page 116.
Active Clusters will include LEGO attraction areas such as
MINILAND and will be distinguished by plantings, paving, site furnishings,
water features, pedestrian trails and landscape lighting. Rides created for
these areas will be designed to allow the child and his/her family to view and
interact with the LEGO models and attractions. High-speed thrill rides will not
be a part of LEGOLAND Carlsbad.
It is anticipated that LEGOLAND Carlsbad will include approximately
five (5) Active Clusters. The size of each Active Cluster is expected to be at
the range of 2 and 5 acres. Examples of activities which may occur in the
Active Clusters include the following:
Miniland - Miniland will be the heart of LEGOLAND Carlsbad. This
area will illustrate the creative uses of LEGO bricks in a garden
setting. Miniland will be alive with movement and sound and will
create landmarks and scenes from the world, North America and
California. It will include famous buildings and towns surrounded by
landscape settings.
DUPLO Play Town - DUPLO Play Town will focus on younger
children. Children can enjoy attractions that will feature DUPLO
theme areas and will offer plenty of creative play opportunities. Rides
designed for and controlled by small children will allow them to interact
with DUPLO model creations. DUPLO buildings will allow children to
explore and interact with their surroundings in unique ways.
LEGO Building Workshops - LEGO building workshop areas will be
incorporated in several areas of the Park to allow children at different
age levels to build their own LEGO creations. Master-classes led by
LEGO model designers will offer groups of children and families
opportunities to participate in guided building tasks with LEGO bricks
and elements.
LEGO Driving School - Among other educational elements will be a
driving school for children to learn the rules of the road. The driving
school will offer group instructions and testing of skills on a driving
course with LEGO instructors. Following this driving experience,
children will be awarded their own LEGO driver's license.
LEGO Attraction Areas - Other attractions in LEGOLAND Carlsbad
emphasize LEGO themes such as Town, Castle, and Pirates.
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan 112
Activities created for these areas will be designed to allow the child
and his/her family to view and interact with the theme LEGO models
and attractions.
Passive Clusters will be located next to the Active Clusters within the
Inner Park. The Passive Clusters are characterized by unobstructed park
like plantings with occasional walkways and limited paving, site furnishings,
garden features and landscape lighting. The key objective of the passive
clusters is to allow families to picnic, relax, and enjoy the park atmosphere.
Service and Administration
The Service and Administration planning area is located on the
eastern end of the project site. The service and administrative buildings will
include storage, workshops, staff, educational and administrative facilities.
External waste and storage facilities will be established in connection with the
storage building.
b. Outer Park
The Outer Park contains landscape areas and parking facilities for
LEGOLAND Carlsbad. 7 which may accommodate future Inner Park
expansion:—The Outer Park also contains landscaped buffers which lie
between LEGOLAND Carlobad and the adjacent LEGO Drive.—T-be
landscaped service road will be located within the Outer Park.
The actual boundaries o'f both the Inner Park and Outer Park as well
as the acreage of the Planning Areas may vary and will be precisely
determined at the time of the Site Development Plan review.
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan 113
Parking and Circulation
Proposed parking consists of areas for guest parking, bus parking,
recreation vehicle and employee parking. Guest parking includes provisions
for handicap parking in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
In an effort to work with the existing topography of the site and maximize
views within LEGOLAND Carlsbad, the parking area is designated for the
southern portion of the LEGO site. Access to the guest parking will be taken
from LEGO Drive by way of Cannon Road. All directional signaqe including
freeway signs, signs on Palornar Airport Road and promotional
advertisements shall direct motorists towards Cannon Road. Parking
expansion space will be provided within the LEGO park site adjacent to the
parking lot on the south. This will also provide space for parking overflow
should it be needed during peak visitor days.
Employee and bus parking facilities will be provided at the
southeastern portion of the site. Access to these areas will be from Palomar
Airport Road via Hidden Valley Road. Emergency vehicle access is also
provided via Hidden Valley Road. Details of the parking areas will be
provided as a part of the application for the Site Development Plan.
