RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No, &XI/-2 09 adopting a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and approving CUP 99-30.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On June 26, 2001, the City Council conducted a public hearing, considered the staff report,
the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and heard and considered evidence from
all persons interested in this matter. After due deliberation, the Council approved the CUP
for the development of Cannon Court and referred the matter to the City Attorney to return
with documents memorializing that approval, with the following additional conditions:
m Sale of alcohol from the gas station/mini-mart shall be prohibited.
= The property owner/applicant shall disclose the potential of the future construction of a
power plant or other utility use north of the subject property.
. The hours of operation of the mini-mart may be restricted by future amendment of the
CUP.
. The applicant has proposed development in phases. If any phase is not promptly
developed after it is graded, it shall be hydroseeded and landscaped to the
satisfaction of the Planning Director.
That document is attached. The Council should satisfy itself that it accurately represents its
intent in this matter.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The initial study prepared in conjunction with the project determined that
potentially significant impacts could be created as a result of traffic impacts, agricultural
chemical residues, and noise impacts from l-5 and train operations on the AT&SF railroad.
Traffic mitigation measures include installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of
Avenida Encinas and Cannon Road, dual west to southbound left-turn lanes on Cannon
Road at Avenida Encinas, and implementation of traffic operations measures to coordinate
signal timing with the freeway and railroad crossing. In addition, mitigation measures for soil
remediation and noise attenuation will reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels.
In consideration of the foregoing, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was issued by the
Planning Director on February 26, 2001.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed project will have a positive impact in terms of increased property tax, transient
occupancy tax, and additional employment opportunities. The applicant has indicated that
approximately 140 employment opportunities will be created by the project. Based on a 65%
occupancy rate, it is estimated that the hotel will generate approximately $324,000 annually
in transient occupancy tax. The current assessed value of the project site is approximately
$4.8 million. With the new construction, it is estimated that the assessed value will increase
to approximately $23 million. The increase in value would result in additional tax increment
revenue for the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency of an estimated $145,600 per year.
Approximately 20% of the tax increments funds will be allocated to the City’s low-moderate
housing fund and the remainder of the revenue will be used to fund projects within
Redevelopment Area I I.
