PLN AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN BATCH 2 Or 2007 GPA 05-05 (DKN Hotel)/GPA 05-06 (Aura Circle)/GPA 06-02 (La Costa Glen Corp. Cntr) DEPT. HEAD \M CITYATTY. Jff CITYMGR. T63f> RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. 2007-224 APPROVING the second amendments in 2007 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan, consisting of three projects commonly known as "DKN Hotel" (GPA 05-05), "Aura Circle" (GPA 05-06), and "La Costa Glen Corporate Center" (GPA 06-02). ITEM EXPLANATION: State law allows a jurisdiction to amend a mandatory element of the General Plan no more than four times per calendar year. The mandatory elements are Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space, Noise, Safety, and Conservation. Each amendment to a mandatory element, however, may include more than one change to that element. The three General Plan Amendment (GPA) applications listed below propose changes to the Land Use Element, and two of the GPA applications propose changes to the Open Space and Conservation Element. The City Council has approved in concept each of the applications at duly noticed public hearings on the meeting dates noted below. The three applications are now being grouped together to comprise the second amendments in 2007 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element. The recommended action would formally adopt the changes to the General Plan (previously approved in concept), which will ensure consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

The project will have a positive impact in terms of increased property tax, transient occupancy tax, and additional employment opportunities. The current assessed value of the project site is $1,800,000. With the new construction, it is estimated that the assessed value will increase to approximately $12 million. The increase in value would result in additional tax increment revenue for the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency of approximately $102,000 per year. Additionally, the project may serve as a catalyst for other improvements in the area, either new development or rehabilitation of existing buildings, through the elimination of a blighting influence within the area. All public infrastructure required for this project will be funded and/or constructed by the developer. GPA 05-06 Aura Circle GPA 05-06 is part of a project that consists of: A) an 11-lot subdivision (two open space lots and nine residential lots); B) the construction of nine single-family residences and two second dwelling units; and C) a change to the land use designation and zoning on a site located west of Kelly Drive and north of Hillside Drive at the terminus of Aura Circle. All public infrastructure required for this project will be funded and or/constructed by the developer. No fiscal impacts to the City have been identified. GPA 06-02 La Costa Glen Corporate Center GPA 06-02 is part of a project that consists of: A) a 4-lot subdivision (MS 05-28); B) a Site Development Plan to construct a 21,904 square foot office building on Lot 1 of MS 05-28; C) a change to the land use designation and zoning on Lots 3 and 4 of MS 05-28; and D) a modification to the boundaries of the land use designation and zoning on a portion of APN 255-012-05 to correct mapping errors (the project site is located northwest of Calle Barcelona, west of El Camino Real, and north of Leucadia Boulevard). All public infrastructure required for this project will be funded and or/constructed by the developer. No fiscal impacts to the City have been identified.
