I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4136 APPROVING the Negative Declaration and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4137, 4138, 4139, 4140, and 4141 APPROVING Carlsbad Tract CT 97-06, Condominium Permit CP 97-04, Conditional Use Permit CUP 93-04(E), and Coastal Development Permit CDP 97-07, and RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of Site Development Plan SDP 94-04(B) based on the findings and subject to the conditions found therein. II. INTRODUCTION This application is a request for approval of the expansion of an existing timeshare facility by 17 units. The existing Phase I of Seapointe Resort consists of 78 timeshare units in five buildings, underground parking, and recreation facilities. The Phase II ( expansion) units are proposed to be housed in two structures. One of those buildings is the extension of a three story building running parallel to Surfside Lane and the other is proposed as an entirely new two-story structure which is placed parallel to Island Way. The building architecture is consistent with the existing facility. The half acre project site is currently vacant. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The site is located at the northeast corner of Island Way and Surfside Lane. The site is vacant, has been previously used for agriculture, and is currently used occasionally for parking. The site immediately to the north is the existing Seapointe facility which is comprised of six buildings which contain 78 timeshare/hotel units, administrative offices, clubhouse, gym, reception and timeshare sales areas. The proposed Phase II expansion totals 19,400 square feet above ground with a total of 17 units. Nine units are proposed within the extension of the southernmost existing three story building and the remaining eight are proposed within a new two-story structure. Approximately 14,000 square feet of underground parking garage is proposed for 29 additional spaces. The proposed expansion is subject to the following policies and regulations: CT 97-06/CP 97-04/CUP.04(E)/CDP 97-07/SDP 94-04(B)-SE.OINTE RESORT EXPANSION December 3, 1997 PAGE2 General Plan Zoning Ordinance Local Coastal Program -Mello II Growth Management IV. ANALYSIS Staffs recommendation for approval was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable City regulations and policies. The following analysis section discusses compliance with each of the regulations and policies. GENERAL PLAN/ZONING The General Plan designation for this_ site was recently changed from Office (0) to Travel Recreation/Commercial (T-R). The T-R designation anticipates uses which serve the needs of tourists, residents, as well as employees of business and industrial centers. Often such sites are located near major transportation corridors or recreational and resort areas such as spas, hotels, beaches or lagoons. Timeshares function very much like a hotel and are therefore considered to be a consistent use. The Zoning on the parcel was also recently amended to reflect a Commercial-Tourist (C-T) zoning. The intent of C-T zoning is to provide for the development of commercial businesses near transportation centers and recreation areas, or highways and freeways used by inter-regional traffic. Specifically, timeshare hotels are allowed within the zone with a Conditional Use Permit. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The tract map application is for a single lot subdivision for condominium purposes. The application is consistent with the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act Section 66426 and Title 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Subdividing the 17 individual units for separate ownership requires the application of a Condominium Permit per the City's Non-Residential Planned Development Ordinance Chapter 21.47 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The proposed expansion is consistent with the development standards of the C-T zone. The typical building height limitation for the C-T zone is 35 feet, however, buildings may exceed that limit by 10 feet if approved by a Site Development Plan by the City Council. The project is proposed at 42 feet as measured from the existing grade and is therefore 7 feet above the standard. The additional seven feet is required to create a space for roof mounted equipment and screening as well as a continuous roof line from the existing building to the new expansion. A Site Development Plan Amendment which adds the Phase II expansion to the existing Phase I is a part of this submittal package. The request for the height in Phase II is consistent with the existing Phase I height approved by the City Council. The building does not contain more than three stories; all required setbacks as a result of the additional 7 feet in height have been provided; the building conforms to the Building Code; and the additional height does not exceed 45 feet. CT 97-06/CP 97-04/CUP .4(E)/CDP 97-07/SDP 94-04(B) -SE.,OINTE RESORT EXPANSION December 3, 1997 PAGE3 For buildings that are within the height limitations of the zone, there is no front yard, side yard or rear yard setback requirement. The building is however 42 feet in height at its highest point which is seven feet above the standard. Therefore, a seven foot building setback is required from front, side and rear yard property lines. The building is setback 16 feet from the front property line and 11 feet at its closest point to the side property line with an overall varying setback from 11 feet to 22 feet. The rear setback is a consistent distance from the rear property line at 10 feet. TABLEl STANDARD MINIMUM REQUIRED PROPOSED Setback front none none 16 feet side 7 feet 7 feet 11 feet+ rear 10 feet 10 feet 10 feet Height 45 feet with SDP 45 feet maximum 42 feet Parking Phase II 1.2 per unit 21 29 Parking Phases I&II 1.2 per unit 114 126 The Phase II expansion includes the addition of 29 compact parking stalls. However, because Phase II will not ultimately be a stand alone project, the discussion of parking must be reviewed to determine how many parking stalls will be available to the entire project. The minimum number of parking spaces required for the entire project, both Phases I and II, is 114. A total of 25% of the required spaces may be compact, therefore, 86 spaces are required to be standard and 28 may be compact. The applicant has proposed to provide 86 standard spaces, 28 compact spaces and an additional 12 compact spaces. In addition to the proposed 126 spaces is the potential for an additional non-required 7 tandem compact spaces. The applicant has indicated that the spaces could be used for operational needs and could be accessed by Seapointe staff and/or valet parking during special events. The project meets the minimum requirements for parking (114 spaces of which 25% are compact) and surpasses the minimum with the addition of 12 compact spaces and the potential of seven additional compact tandem spaces. Access to the site will be via the signalized intersection at Island Way and Surfside Lane. Movement of traffic into and out of Phase II will be at an existing entry at the northerly terminus of Surfside Lane in Phase I. Use of the existing entry will successfully segregate traffic between the La Costa Downs subdivision and the project. Generally speaking, there are no views which would be significantly impacted by the proposed expansion. Significant views of the Pacific Ocean are from Carlsbad Boulevard which is west of the project site and from the northern end of the site itself. The properties immediately to the south, within La Costa Downs, have very limited views of the ocean and only from key lots within the subdivision. Some view impairment may be created for certain properties with the Alta Mira and Harbor Point developments, however, the view blockage will be minimal when considering the full extent of the views east of the freeway.

Because the City now has Coastal Zone jurisdiction and permit authority at this site and because Phase I has been completed, effectively closing the Phase I Coastal Permit issued by the Coastal Commission, a new and separate Coastal Permit is being reviewed for the Phase II expansion. The site is located within the Mello II segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program. As shown on the Coastal Development Compliance Table below, the proposed development is in compliance with all applicable regulations. TABLEII COASTAL DEVELOPMENT COMPLIANCE TABLE LCP Land Use Plan C-T Commercial Tourist General Plan C-T Zoning T-R Travel/Recreation Commercial Grading Permit Required Yes Affect agriculture No Affect shoreline No Affect coastal bluffs No Affect coastal access No Hillside Development Permit Required No Native Vegetation Impacts No Impacts to slopes greater than 25% No Review of Required Coastal Findings 1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies. The project is located in the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment. The project proposes the construction of a timeshare/hotel expansion project within an area designated for commercial tourist related development. The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for C-T (Commercial Tourist). The site has not been used for agriculture, is not adjacent to the shoreline nor is it adjacent to coastal bluffs, and is located east of the Carlsbad Boulevard and therefore will not affect coastal access. 2. Coastal Overlay Zones. The subject site is not located in a Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone.
