THE LA COSTA RESORT AND SPA MASTER PLAN
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE MASTER PLAN
This Master Plan is presented as a comprehensive planning and development document intended to guide
future development of land within the La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan area. This document guides
the character, design, and standards of development for the land within the La Costa Resort and Spa
Master Plan area. It is meant to provide a degree of flexibility to allow future development to respond to
the changes in the hospitality market of the Southern California region, which inevitably will occur over
the build out period of the project area. The La Costa Resort Master Plan establishes and updates the
design development policies applicable to development within the Master Plan area establishing the reg-
ulations and standards which serve as the zoning and development regulation for the property.
The Master Plan delineates specific Planning Areas within the project specifying the land uses and zon-
ing for each Planning Area. Associated text describes the allowable uses and densities of development
in each Planning Area providing detailed development standards for each Planning Area within the
Master Plan area. Adoption of the Master Plan by the Carlsbad City Council, pursuant to Chapter 21.38
of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, will establish the zoning and development standards applicable to the
project, thereby removing the La Costa project area from the "Greater La Costa Area Master Plan" MP
149 (149S- the amendment).
1.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In the Spring of 2004, the La Costa Resort and Spa concluded the majority of site redevelopment with
the exception of the implementation of the Commercial Dwelling Units (CDUs) and Golf Learning
Academy as described within this Master Plan document.
The expansion project included the following new and redeveloped land uses:
• A complete renovation of all existing hotel rooms;
• A new 42,500 sq.ft. ballroom facility containing a main ballroom, kitchen, additional meeting
rooms and support spaces;
• A 26,500 sq.ft. health and beauty spa to replace the original La Costa spa facility;
• Redevelopment of the existing hotel clubhouse.
The Master Plan proposes additional improvements including:
• 197 privately-owned one, two, and three bedroom Commercial Dwelling Units and up to an
equal number of non-habitable commercial service units situated throughout the campus.
• A Golf Learning Academy
• Additional parking facilities

The overall Buildout Parking exhibit (page 2.45) is provided to illustrate the locations of the various park-
ing components of the Master Plan at Build-out. In addition to the Shared Use Parking provisions summa-
rized herein and described in detail in the appended Walker Parking Consultant's Parking Needs
Assessment, the developer is committed to providing surplus parking on an interim basis as each phase of
the C.D.U. development is undertaken. Additionally, a 138-space Parking Structure in Planning Area 5 is
designed as an option to provide additional on-site parking that exceeds the analysis of the Master Plan's
Parking Needs Assessment.
At project buildout, if the conditions and operations at the Resort site so warrant, the Developer and the
Planning Director may determine an enforceable construction schedule of the Parking Structure by mutual
agreement. If there is not mutual agreement, then the Planning Director will initiate a Master Plan amend-
ment as allowed by the City ordinance to bring the matter before the City Council for resolution.
Page 2.70 delineates permanent parking improvements that demonstrate:
• Parking will be provided as the need for parking space allocation is generated by the construction of
additional site usage.
• Quantity of parking spaces to be provided shall be based on the Shared Use allocations delineated in the
Parking Needs Assessment as appended to this Master Plan.
• Location of permanent parking spaces to be provided shall be reasonably accessible to the facilities that
they serve.
• Parking stalls are not assigned to one particular use - rather are "shared" to address the dynamics of each
use and its parking demands.
The following tables and Drawings identify the available parking as well as the required number of spaces
per the City Code and the Walker shared parking analysis. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupan-
cy for any development, compliance with the requirements of the Master Plan's Parking Needs Assessment
shall be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Director. The project shall comply with the analy-
sis Parking Needs Assessment and not be required to exceed said amount. Building Permits for the last
phase of Resort Villa Development requires the Planning Director's determination of parking ade-
quacy.
