Dear Paul :
We have met with city staff regarding the Certificate of Occupancy for Plaza Camino Real Phase 11, and there are three items which
will require a time extension to allow occupancy. Each of these
items will be completed and, of course, we will post bonds where necessary to assure their completion.
I would, therefore, ask that you request from the City Council a revised completion date for the following items so that we may receive a temporary occupancy permit allowing Broadway to open on October 19, 1979, and the mall and Sears to open on October 24, 1979. Access from the south parking lot through the
mall to Brsadway will also be required on October 19:
1. The installation of the signal at El Camino and Marron Road, including the connecting signal in front of the movie theatre
is estimated for completion on February 1, 1980. A bond will
be posted as required by the City Engineering-Department.
2. Parking lot landscaping and permanent surface improvements where not already completed will be completed by December 1, 1979. Again, a bond will be posted.
3. The future signal at the corner of Marron Road and Monroe, when developed, will be constructed, with the estimated construction approximately two years from now.

Completion of the channel reconstruction and parking north of
the existing channel will also be bonded. The California Department of FishLand Game has required that the portion of the existing
channel between the westerly end of the Oceanside sewer treatment facility and the intersection of the new channel with the existing
channel remain open until June 10, 1980, This is to provide a
wildlife habitat area during the winter months before the
spring hatching season.
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated,
wy truly yoqrs, -

MEMORANDUM
DATE : October 11, 1979
TO : Les Evans, City Engineer
FROM: Bud Plender, Assistant to the Planning Director 6r
SUBJECT: PLAZA CAMINO REAL, CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - PP-24A
Planning staff has reviewed the approved conditions of Precise Plan 24(B) to determine if they have been met and/or
what is required prior to occupancy of any of the proposed
new buildings. The following is a brief statement on those
conditions that need to be considered prior to occupancy.
Condition 9 requires that the applicant participate with the
City in reconstruction of phase one parking, the improve- ments of Marron Road, and a bus transfer station relocation.
The reconstruction of the parking lot or the improvements of
Marron Road are not complete. Bonds for the parking lot
improvements have been signed by the developer and
the City has received funds for the widening of Marron Road.
The bus transfer station has not been relocated, however, we
have accepted an amendment to Precise Plan 24 that indicates
a new location. Therefore, condition 9 has been satisfactorily
met.
Condition 10 requires parking, landscaping and irrigation plans to be submitted for Planning Director's approval. Plans have been submitted by the applicant but to date have not been approved. However, as noted above, bonds have been
accepted guaranteeing the improvements. Since the parking has not been completed, occupancy of any of the proposed buildings will cause some degree of inconvenience.
Presently there are 4395 parking spaces available in the
center. This is a ratio of 4 3 parking space per each 1,000 square feet of gross building area. of about 100 spaces may be made available shortly after the opening of Broadway. However, the final parking lot will not be totally completed until at least after June, 1980, due to constraints of the Department of Fish and Game, and problems associated with the relocating of the flood control channel. The final parking lot will have 5,728 spaces (or
park& ratio of 5.0 spaces per 1000 square feet of building. Staff believes that the interim parking ratio of 4.3 is
acceptable to permit the occupancy of new buildings. Bonds
have been accepted to complete the parking lot. Condition 10
has been satisfactorily met.
Additional parking
13 more than presently existing) and will have a
I.
Condition 13 indicates that off site slopes are to be landscaped and maintained. The Parks and Recreation Department has not approved landscaping and maintenance plans for those slopes. Planning staff has contacted the applicant and asked that
landscape plans be submitted to the Parks and Recreation Department. We have also requested processing by Parks and Recreation in a timely manner. However it's not possible to plant these slopes prior to Broadway occupancy therefore I suggest a bond for their improvement be agreed to. In addition a maintenance agreement is necessary for the continued maintenance of these slopes and benches prior to occupancy. These provisions must be accomplished before occupancy.
Condition 14 requires that facilities such as storm drains, desiltation basins, etc, that would affect water quality in
the Buena Vista Lagoon to be installed by the applicant.
Bonds have been accepted to guarantee this requirement. This
condition has been satisfactorily met.
Condition 18 requires adequate pedestrian ways between the
theatres and adjacent commercial development on the south
side of Marron Road and the main parking lot of Plaza Camino
Real. They have not been installed, however, the landscaping
and parking plans shall include these requirements. The completion will need to be done prior to occupancy.
Also Condition No. 18 requires the relocation of the bus
transfer facilities. This will be accomplished by PP-24C,
and therefore will not affect occupancy.
There are other conditions that have not been completed or totally resolved, however, those conditions are engineering
matters and are being resolved by your department.

MEMORANDUM
TO : City Manager
FROM: City Engineer
DATE : October 11, 1979
SUBJECT: PLAZA CAMINO REAL PRECISE PLAN 24B
On February 6, 1979, the City Council approved Alternate
Precise Plan24B for the expansion of the Plaza Camino Real
Shopping Center. In addition to the conditions outlined by
the Planning Department there are several conditions of the
Precise Plan required by the Engineering Department which
are not yet complete. Specifically, the uncompleted items
are:
1. The installation of a traffic signal on Marron Road at the Cinema 5 Theatre.
2. The relocation of the traffic signal at El Camino
Real and the Plaza Camino Real entrance.
3. The upgrading of the traffic signal at El Camino Real and Marron Road.
4. The widening of Marron Road.
The May Company has also provided the City with Faithful Performance Bonds to complete certain conditions of their subdivision. Unfortunately, the improvement agreements
covered by the bonds state that the improvements will be complete by August 2, 1979. Not yet completed is the reloc- ation of the Buena Vista Creek Channel and the monumentation
of the subdivision. In accordance with the October 2, 1979 letter from May Stores, the time of completion of the channel relaocation project should be extended to August 2,
1980. The time of completion for the monumentation of the subdivision should be extended to January 1, 1980.
The Precise Plan also describes the agreement for the main- tenance of the Buena Vista Creek Channel by the developer.
This agreement should be provided to the City prior to the granting of oocupancy of the stores.
May Stores have provided improvement agreements and bonds to cover the cost of installation of the traffic signals and the Marron Road widening. The Engineering Department concerns would be fully satisfied if the developer would also sign a channel maintenance agreement.
