A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION P.C. AGENDA OF: January18, 2006 Item No. 0 Application complete date: September 15, 2005 Project Planner: Jessica Galloway Project Engineer: Frank Jimeno SUBJECT: SDP 96-14(B)1CDP 96-16(B) -LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA EXPANSION AREA 3 AND THE PIRATES CLUSTER -Request for a determination that the project is within the scope of the previously certified Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment Program EIR and that the Program EIR adequately describes the activity for the purposes of CEQA; and a request for approval for a Site Development Plan Amendment and Coastal Development Permit Amendment for the LEGO LAND California Theme Park to permit the construction of new rides, attractions, and accessory structures on an approximately 128 acre site located on the north side of Palomar Airport Road east of Armada Drive and west of Hidden Valley Road within Planning Area 4 of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan and within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 13. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6024 and 6025 APPROVING SDP 96-14(B) and CDP 96-16(B) based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION The initial phase of the LEGOLAND California Theme Park was completed in March of 1999. Approximately 113 acres of the 128-acre site was developed during the original construction including rides, attractions, food, retail, parking, landscaping, administration, and support uses. Approximately 15 acres of the undeveloped Inner Park land remain for future expansion of rides and attractions. Four locations for future expansion were identified on the approved Site Development Plan (SDP) and Coastal Development Permit (CDP) as "Expansion Areas 1, 2, 3, and 4". No detailed plans were developed for the expansion areas during the original approval of the Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit for the park. In April of 2000 the SDP and CDP were amended to allow development of "Expansion Areas 1 and 3", increase the maximum building height to 45-feet from 35-feet, increase the height protrusion limit to 55-feet from 45-feet, and to replace the Breath Taker Ride with the Batflyer Ride. This proposal to amend the LEGOLAND Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit consists of the following rides and attractions: 1. The special events area of the "Garden" will be transformed into the new Pirates Cluster which will be consistent with the design philosophy of the park: exuberance, creativity, interaction and family fun. The Pirates Cluster will consist of five new rides and if"\ "•+' SDP 96-14(B)/CDP 96-16(B,LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA EXPAN,ON AREA 3 AND THE PIRATES CLUSTER January 18, 2006 Pa e2 attractions involving interactive play, an arcade, and other supporting buildings. The improvements will include grading, utilities, walkways, and landscaping. 2. The proposed site plan for "Expansion Area 3" includes two new proposed ride attractions and the two new food/retail buildings. The ride attractions include the Aqua Drag, which was previously approved with SDP 96-14(A) on April 19, 2000, and the proposed Drome attraction. The improvements will include grading utilities, walkways, and landscaping. This new approval for "Expansion Area 3" is necessary as the improvements approved as part of the previous Site Development Plan Amendment that have not yet been constructed have expired. The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan authorizes the Planning Commission to approve project amendments unless the amendment is of a controversial nature. The proposed project is not controversial in nature and is consistent with the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore staff is recommending that the Planning Commission take final action on the project. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting approval of a Site Development Plan Amendment and Coastal Development Permit Amendment for the LEGOLAND California Theme Park to permit the construction of several new rides and attractions to be built north of the "Garden" area and in "Expansion Area 3". The theme of the rides and attractions will be pirates and the new development area will be called the "Pirates Cluster" constructed in the existing "Special Events Area" of the "Garden". "Expansion Area 7" will include two new ride attractions and supporting buildings. Each attraction is described in further detail in Attachment 8. All proposed rides will be designed and developed consistent with the established LEGO colors, materials, and textures in the existing park. Rides and attractions include exterior queue lines with some portion of the queue covered for sun protection. IV. ANALYSIS A. Travel/Recreation Commercial (T-R) General Plan Land Use Designation; B. Commercial-Tourist-Qualified Development Overlay Zone (C-T-Q) Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 21.06 and Chapter 21.29; C. Site Development Plan findings required by the Qualified Development Overlay Zone -Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 21.06, Section 21.06.020; D. Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan (SP 207(D)); E. Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan-Palomar Airport; F. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone -Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 21.203; and G. Growth Management Ordinance (Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 13). A. & B. General Plan and Zoning The existing General Plan and Zoning designations for the site were adopted concurrently with the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan to achieve consistency. The Travel/Recreation Commercial (T-R) General Plan Land Use designation allows for the proposed use. Zoning for the site is SDP 96-14(B)/CDP 96-16(B,LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA EXPAN,ON AREA 3 AND THE PIRATES CLUSTER January 18, 2006 Pa e3 Commercial -Tourist, Qualified Development Overlay Zone (C-T-Q). The Specific Plan list of uses modifies the permitted uses allowed for the site. The Q-Overlay designation on the zoning map requires the approval of a Site Development Plan. This is consistent with the Specific Plan which was established with the requirement that each site require approval of a Site Development Plan. C. Site Development Plan Findings Required By The Q-Overlay Zone The Qualified Development Overlay Zone (Q-Overlay), which is part of the zoning designation for the property, requires that a Site Development Plan be approved for the proposed development prior to the issuance of any building permits. Four findings are required for the Q-Overlay Zone. The required findings with justification for each are contained in the Planning Commission Resolution for the project. This section summarizes the necessary findings and support for each. The requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental setting as the project design complies with the requirements of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan as demonstrated in Section "C" of this report. Development of the proposed expansion areas will not encroach into required building and landscape setbacks established for the perimeter of the site. The required setbacks provide an appropriate buffer between the LEGOLAND Park and existing and future development. The site is also adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use as all applicable code requirements have been met. All required parking has been constructed and the infrastructure needs of the expansion areas were planned for with the initial park construction. All features necessary to adjust the use to existing and permitted future uses will be provided. Screen walls, berming and landscaping have been constructed to screen service areas for the park. The project design includes additional berming and landscaping in the areas of proposed development adjacent to the service road to screen views from within the visitor areas of the Inner Park to necessary park facilities and infrastructure not intended to be viewed by guests. Adequate vehicle circulation has been provided to accommodate vehicle, truck, recreational vehicle and bus turning movements on-site with the construction of existing improvements. A service road was constructed around the perimeter of the Inner Park for operational needs and emergency vehicle access. Several access points were provided to the service road for emergency vehicles. Pedestrian connections were also constructed to the overall pedestrian circulation system of the Carlsbad Ranch. The planned street system is adequate to handle all traffic generated by the use. The proposed expansion area was included in the original circulation analysis prepared for Program EIR 94-01 for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. The circulation analysis considered the build-out of the park and the corresponding attendance levels with park build-out. The boundaries of the Inner Park are approximately 1,400 feet from the right-of-way of Palomar Airport Road. The fence line for the Inner Park is 200 feet from the western property line. The landscape setback from the northern property line is a minimum of 45 feet and 30 feet from the eastern property line. No change to current night lighting is proposed except for new lighting for the "Expansion Area 3" and the "Pirates Cluster". Inner Park lighting is predominantly of a pedestrian scale. SDP 96-14(B)/CDP 96-16(B,LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA EXPA.ON AREA 3 AND THE PIRATES CLUSTER January 18, 2006 Pa e4 D. Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan establishes the permitted uses for the site as well as the development standards and design guidelines. The project complies with the requirements of the specific plan. The permitted uses for the project site include an entrance facility; toll "plaza"; retail shops; restaurants, service buildings associated with park activities; business and administration offices related to park activities; indoor and outdoor facilities related to entertainment and education, but not including high speed thrill rides (those rides typically oriented towards the teenage and young adult audience) for children; water features; lakes; landscape areas; guest services and facilities; parking; and other related uses. The uses proposed for the site are within the list of permitted uses. The development standards of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan have been complied with. The required park perimeter landscape, building, and parking area setbacks have been complied with. All parking required for build-out of LEGOLAND was improved with the initial construction including the overflow parking lot. Perimeter fencing and walls are also existing for the entire park. E. Comprehensive Land Use Plan For McClellan -Palomar Airport The project site is located within the Airport Influence Area for the McClellan-Palomar Airport. Areas of the project site are within the 60 and 65 CNEL noise contours. The site is approximately 5,000 feet west of the airport. The airport land use plan identifies the use as being compatible with the noise levels for the site. A Notice Concerning Aircraft Environmental Impacts was previously required as a condition of the original approval and was recorded on August 14, 1997. F. Mello II Segment Of The Local Coastal Program And The Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone As designed, the proposed project and the initial construction is consistent with the relevant policies of the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program. The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan serves as partial implementation for the Mello II Segment for the project site, and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Zoning Ordinance Section 21.203). The proposal is consistent with the requirements contained within both of these documents. The project site was previously graded and the majority of the total site area is presently developed. No steep slopes or native vegetation exist on the areas of the site currently proposed for development. The project will not have drainage impacts on coastal resources as the project includes a detention basin within the 150' landscape setback from Palomar Airport Road. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System facilities to separate oil and other contaminants from site runoff are in place. G. Growth Management Ordinance (LFMP -Zone 13) The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 13 in the northwest quadrant. The impacts on public facilities created by this project and compliance with the adopted performance standards are summarized as follows: SDP 96-14(B)ICDP 96-16(B,.LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA EXPAN,ON AREA 3 AND THE PIRATES CLUSTER January 18, 2006 Pa e5 FACILITY IMPACTS COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS City Administration NIA Yes Library NIA Yes Wastewater Treatment 53EDU Yes Capacity Parks $.40lsq. ft.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Development of the entire LEGOLAND project site was analyzed in the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 94-01) certified for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment and related applications on January 9, 1996, by the City Council. A Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted for cumulative impacts to air quality, agriculture, and traffic which could not be fully mitigated. The cumulative impacts were regional in nature and occured in areas outside the jurisdiction of the City. All applicable mitigation measures from the EIR were implemented with the initial construction on the LEGO LAND site. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted for the project amendments on April 19, 2000. The City had received its annual Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Report. The Report had recorded an unanticipated intersection "level of service" (LOS) failure at Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. This potentially created a changed circumstance negating reliance on previous environmental documentation. Pursuant to §15162 of the CEQA Guidelines a lead agency must prepare "Subsequent" environmental documentation if substantial evidence (i.e., the recorded intersection failure) determines that a changed circumstance exists. However, case law has interpreted this section of the CEQA Guidelines to not require the preparation of a "Subsequent EIR" if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the identified impacts to below a level of insignificance. On April 4, 2000 the City Council repealed the moratorium due to the intersection failure at Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real. As a result, the mitigation measure related to this intersection is no longer applicable. An addendum has been prepared to the Mitigated Negative peclaration to reflect the fact that the proposed mitigation measure is no longer necessary. The proposed activities would have no effects beyond those analyzed in the program EIR and subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration, as they are a part of the program analyzed earlier. This project is within the scope of EIR 94-01 and no further CEQA compliance is required. EIR SDP 96-14(B)/CDP 96-16(B,.

The attraction is an interactive water area designed for children in the age range of 3 to 6 years old, the youngest age group in the park. In this cluster the framework is set for a Pirate adventure and invites the guests to create their own adventure. The attraction is themed around 4 Zones where children discover and explore water play possibilities. The central feature is a push button activated 20-foot interactive LEGO totum, that the young children are invited to explore. Pirates fire water from their "blunder buses" and monkeys fire water from their ears. Tropical plants will come to bloom with stunning water effects and a water crown cascades over the tropical palm tree. There are 12-foot high buckets that tip and spill their contents over awaiting children. Pirate Band Viewing Plaza Parents sitting in this area are comfortably within a hand wave distance from their smallest children. Also this central location offers great views of the attractions within the Pirate Cluster. The focal point of the area is a Pirate band situated in the cluster's heart. This area is designed as a relaxation area for the parents where they orientate themselves and monitor their children on the various attractions. Shade cover is provided for the guests. Splash Battle The Splash Battle attraction is where guests are recruited to become pirates. How exactly do you become a pirate? As one can imagine they need a little training and encouragement before they make their Maiden Voyage taking a perilous journey through un-chartered waters. The chase is on as you take control and captain your family crew. Keeping your wits about you as you have to respond to any eventuality. Whether you are under attack from her majesties marines, defending a broadside from a rival pirate gang or navigating through shark-infested waters, you are in control. It's an elaborate game of cat and mouse as you skillfully command your ship and crew in the open sea. The proposed Pirate Splash Battle is a low level track ride located within a water trough system. The guests embark on a journey which takes them through various interactive water zones. The ride consists of four man vehicles that are fitted with water cannons that the guests fire at each other and various props and models. Viewing guests join in the fun with perimeter water cannons in an attempt to the blast the vehicles. This attraction is a family attraction and is themed in a traditional pirates design based on the LEGO Pirate Product. Mini Flume "Pirates on Vacation" is the theme for the Mini Flume attraction. The attraction is a kiddie flume which is designed for families with young children. The vehicles have been designed for 2 children and 2 adults. The track rises to approximately 15 feet at its tallest elevation, the finale of which is a drop into a water trough. This is a "My First Ride Concept" attraction and may be the very first time the youngest guests will experience a thrill ride. Of course parents can accompany their children, or ride on their own for the first time while mom and dad watch and wave at their brave and intrepid children. This attraction has 4 primary model scenes listed below. 1. Pirate Tree house - A pirate is welcoming the guests to this pirate resort, "Pirates on Vacation" is the Pacific Palisades sponsorship concept. There are low-level jungle animals that have inhabited the queue around the prop crates and parrots talk. The attraction has a soundtrack while in the queue. 2. Ship Wrecked Island - A solitary island sits in the middle of a shark-infested trough. The sharks circle the island where two relaxing female pirates in Hawaiian shirts lie relaxing with a radio and a good book. They are shouting encouragement to their pal, who is digging for treasure in the wrong spot. The island is a beach with a jungle backdrop and cute baby turtles have inhabited the beach, and a monkey, toucans, and parrots are positioned in the prop palm tree. 3. Pirates in Thermal spa-The pirate is relaxing naked and a cheeky monkey has stolen his clothes as he stands facing the guests with his hands covering himself. 4. Spitting African Masks -As a finale to the drop the travelers pass the African heads. Pirate Cove Water Scape This is the secondary attraction in the Pirates Cluster, geared for the 6 to 12 age group and offers a multiple level interactive water play experience. The primary focus is on water interaction. The attraction includes 3 levels and is themed around a pirate ship. Highlights include various water interactive gags and slides. The finale of which is a water-dumping bucket that spills onto the children and parents on the lower level. Retail Midway Games This segmented facility houses 4 midway games and their associated storage. On the reverse of the midway games is a small retail facility that serves the seating area around the Pirate Band Plaza. Changing Facility The changing facility is a simple one-story structure that provides locker rooms and basic changing facilities for the guests. Interesting LEGO touches include LEGO hangers and Pirate Locker Graphics to decorate the changing facility. Maintenance and Facility Rooms There are two maintenance and facility rooms in the Pirate Cluster area. These rooms will house the mechanical and electrical equipment necessary to support the attractions in the area, such as, pumps, filters, control panels, lighting panels and electrical panels. Expansion Area 3 Aqua Drag The Aqua drag is composed of water troughs in which ride vehicles slide down an incline. Riders compete against the clock or each other for the best time down the slide. Drome Attraction The Drome attraction is a road racing experience based on the LEGO RACERS product line and takes its thematic reference from the play material. Guests are invited to race each other with a focus on competition and self-improvement. The attraction is set in the 'Xtreme' Cluster (East Expansion Area 3). The queue and loading area for the ride is housed in a building in which LEGO models, graphics, sound, light and video set the mood for the activity. Video of real motor racing footage focuses on tips and tricks, safety, and the excitement of the race. Guests can either drive or watch the action. Those who choose to spectate find a position along the track awaiting the opportunity to support their family members in the race. Participants in the races enter a queue area ( capacity 480) where an audio track of engines revving, the crowd cheering and burning rubber builds to a crescendo as the racers board their cars and approach the starting grid. The racecars are designed for children age's six to twelve and will accommodate an adult and child together. Once bucked up in the vehicle, racers make their way to the starting grid where they are confronted with a large L.E.D. time clock, themed graphics and racing sequence lights. The audio and lights are sequenced with the ride dispatch ... red ... amber ... Go! ... the vehicle's wheels spin into action approaching the first tum. After the first tum, spectators shout and cheer as their family members drive past the spectator's zone. The track is divided into 3 distinct zones: 1. Slow -approx. speed 10 KMH 2. Medium -approx. speed 12.5 KMH 3. Fast-approx. speed 15 to 17 KMH • • Each of the three race lanes has three separate voltages running through positive and negative channels that regulate speed. There is flexibility to change the track segments to enhance guest experience. The Drome is home of the Dromulus Communication Empire. Within the facility sits a tall structure on top of which sits the silhouette of Dromulus with his robotic monkey .. Omnipotent, Dromulus plunges his charges into the jungle, desert, city and stunt arena environments employing still and moving projected images combined with special effects to stimulate these environments. As the racers negotiate the turns, audio tracks help to enhance the experience and promote the mood of speed and movement. After negotiating the twists and turns of the track, the racer is lead by a small pocket of light back through the tunnel into the main race arena. Here they pass by themed graphics and scenery as they enter the final turn to a cheering crowd and an overhead clock informing them of their time. Interactivity, family participation and competitive racing are the highlights of the Drome attraction. i . i I u ,../,..·r I i i i i I i ! ji l i i ' f !

That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of Site Development Plan, SDP 96-14 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. 2. 3. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation, in that the project design complies with the requirements of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan and all other requirements applicable to the site, significant building and landscape setbacks have been provided around the perimeter of the site including a 140 foot landscape setback from the right-of-way of Palomar Airport Road on the south. The project is consistent with numerous policies of the General Plan including Commercial Policy C.8 which recommends orienting travel/recreation commercial areas along the 1-5 corridor, in the Village, or near resort/recreation areas. The Carlsb;_td Ranch Specific Plan was found to be in compliance with the General Plan and contains a detailed description of the plan's compliance with the General Plan in Section I. H. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that all applicable code requirements have been met as well as the landscaping of approximately 47.5 percent of the total site area, the provision of all required parking as well as a parking expansion area on site, and building coverage is proposed at approximately 3 percent. Approximately 5.3 percent of the parking area will be landscaped while a minimum of 3 percent is required. The parking lot is divided into cells separated by 28 to 30 foot wide landscape areas which run in an east/west direction. The central pedestrian spine in the parking lot is 80 feet wide with a significant area devoted to landscaping. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that screen walls, berming and landscaping are proposed to screen service areas for the park. Adequate vehicle circulation has been provided to accommodate vehicle, truck, recreational vehicle and bus turning movements on site. In addition a service road has been provided around the perimeter of the Inner Park for operational needs. Several access points have been provided to the service road for emergency vehicles. Pedestrian connections to the overall pedestrian circulation system of the Carlsbad Ranch have been provided.

That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed use is consistent with the use analyzed in the circulation analysis prepared for Program EIR 94-01 for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. With required street improvements the project- specific impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. Overriding considerations were previously adopted for the cumulative impact to 1-5 and SR-78. Visitors will be directed by signage to reach the park using Cannon Road to LEGO Drive. The private section of LEGO Drive south of the roundabout will contain four lanes and toll plaza structures with a total of six windows. An analysis has been prepared for the proposed private section of LEGO Drive by KAKU Associates the firm which completed the traffic analysis for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment Program EIR and the Zone 13 Local Facilities Management Plan. The analysis concluded that a total of 5,695 feet of storage would be needed to accommodate the anticipated conditions along LEGO Drive. The proposed design of LEGO Drive utilizing reversible lanes would function with 3 inbound lanes and one outbound lane during the peak inbound period. The proposed design will provide a total of 7,310 feet of storage therefore, all vehicles will be aole to stack on site. The Planning Commission finds that: a. b. C. there was an EIR certified in connection with the prior Specific Plan Amendment (SP 207(A)) and related actions and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted for cumulative impacts to air quality, agriculture, and traffic which cannot be fully mitigated. The cumulative impacts are regional in nature and occur in areas outside the jurisdiction of the City; the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant in the prior EIR ; and none of the circumstances requiring Subsequent or a Supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist. The Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in EIR 94-01 which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the applicable local facilities management plan and all City public facility policies and ordinances since: a. The project has been conditioned to ensure the building permits will not be issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the District Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of PC RESO NO. 4083 -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. b. C. d. • • the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for this project. Statutory School fees will be paid to ensure the availability of school facilities in the Carlsbad Unified School District. All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as conditions of approval. The Developer has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee will enable this body to find that public facilities will be available concurrent with need as required by the General Plan. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 13. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport, dated April 1994, in that, as conditioned the applicant shall record a notice that the property is subject to overflight, sight and sound of aircraft operating from McClellan-Palomar Airport. The project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the CLUP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the CLUP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that the project site falls inside the 60 and 65 CNEL noise contours and the proposed land use is a compatible use at these noise levels. A growth management park fee of 40 cents per square foot of non-residential development will be collected at the time of building permit issuance. This fee will be used to construct recreational facilities to offset the demand created by employees within Zone 13. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts cause by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual, adopted by City Council Resolution No. 90-384. The project complies with the development standards and design guidelines of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan (SP 207(A)) and the Development Agreement (DA 94- 01).

That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA EXPANSION AREAS 1 AND 3, SDP 96-14(A) based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findin2s: 1. 2. 3. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation, in that the project design complies with the requirements of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. Development of the proposed expansion areas will not encroach into required building and landscape setbacks established for the perimeter of the site. The required landscaped setbacks provide an appropriate buffer between the LEGOLAND Park and existing as well as future development. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that all applicable code requirements have been met. Total building coverage on the site is only 3.4 percent and total landscape coverage is 49 percent of the total site area. All required parking has been constructed and the infrastructure needs of the expansion areas were planned for with the initial park construction. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that screen walls, berming and landscaping have been constructed to screen service areas for the park. The project design includes additional berming and landscaping in the areas of proposed development adjacent to the service road to screen views from within the visitor areas of the Inner Park to necessary park facilities and infrastructure not intended to be viewed by guests. Adequate vehicle circulation bas been provided to accommodate vehicle, truck, recreational vehicle and bus turning movements on-site with the construction of existing improvements. A service road was constructed around tlie perimeter of the Inner Park for operational needs and emergency vehicle access. Several access PC RESO NO. 4755 -2- l 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. points were provided to the service road for emergency vehicles. Pedestrian connections were also constructed to the overall pedestrian circulation system of the Carlsbad Ranch. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that with the addition of a mitigation measure requiring payment of the project's fair share for the "short-term improvements" to the El Camino Real/Palomar Airport Road intersection prior to the issuance of a building permit all new traffic impacts are mitigated. The proposed expansion areas were included in the original circulation analysis prepared for Program EIR 94-01 for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. The circulation analysis considered the buildout of the park and the corresponding attendance levels with park buildout. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in · conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan and the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated April 19, 2000. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 13 and all City public facility policies and ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need. Specifically, A. B. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected prior to the issuance of building permit. A growth management park fee of 40 cents per square foot of non-residential development will be collected at the time of building permit issuance. This fee will be used to construct recreational facilities to offset the demand created by employees within Zone 13. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport, dated April 1994, in that a Notice Concerning Aircraft Environmental Impacts was previously required as a condition of approval and was recorded on August 14, 1997. The project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the CLUP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the CLUP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that areas of the site are within the 60 and 65 CNEL noise contours and is a compatible land use at these noise levels as determined by staff of the San Diego Association of Governments in their review of the project for consistency with the CLUP. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).

The project complies with the development standards and design guidelines of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan (SP 207(A)) and the Development Agreement (DA 94- 01). The following findings are made to permit the building height on the project site to exceed a height of 35 feet as provided for in the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan: A. B. C. D. Buildings do not contain more than three levels as shown on the project exhibits. All required setbacks have been increased at a ratio of one horizontal foot for every one foot of vertical construction beyond thirty-five feet. The additional setback area will be maintained as landscaped open space, except where the existing service/emergency vehicle access road encroaches into the increased setback area. The buildings and attractions conform to the requirements of Section 18.04.170 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The allowed height protrusions as described in Section 21.46.020 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code do not exceed 45 feet with the exception of architectural features and exhibits which are permitted to and do not exceed a maximum height of 55 feet. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
