Dear Bill:
Thanks for the November 29, 1995 letter clarifying the Coastal Commission staffs
position on the processing of the various Aviara LCPAs. Since I was unaware of the
precise outcome of the meetings held between Coastal Commission staff and
representatives from Aviara regarding processing of the requested actions, my request
in the November 28, 1995 letter to you was not quite clear.
As we discussed on the phone this morning, it is hereby requested that the portions of
Carlsbad LCPA #3-95 concerning the Phase II trail and Planning Area trail realignments
be deferred to a later hearing date and not considered with the Four Seasons Resort
portion of the LCPA on the upcoming December hearings. Also as we discussed, the
deferred portions of Carlsbad LCPA #3-95 would not count as the City’s first application
of the 1996 calendar year, rather they would be a hold over from the 1995 applications
(similar to the current application concerning Shoreline Preservation Strategies). Please
contact me as soon as possible if my depiction of the processing scenario is incorrect.
With regard to the shared parking arrangements, the main reaion for the proposed
inclusion of the golf course parking lots is the proposed revision to the hotel parking
garage. While the number of hotel rooms is shrinking, so to are the number of parking
spaces (albeit at a lessened proportion). Since the number of spaces has diminished,
there is now a potential that, at buildout of all meeting space within the hotel, there will
be a need for some golf course parking lot use during weekday and Saturday early
evenings. Even with the shared use of the golf course parking lots, there will be an
excess of 20 to 30 spaces, considering full use of the golf course facilities and meeting
spaces in the hotel. A more complete evaluation of this shared parking situation can be
found in Tables A and B of the parking study, dated August 3, 1995 and attached to the
September 20, 1995 Planning Commission staff report.

Thanks again for all of your help. The Four Seasons Resort project is replete with
intricacies that are not easily compiled and understood and your questions show that
you gathered a great deal of understanding about the project in a relatively short time.
I doubt that the project would have been as successful without your help and efficient
processing efforts. Please feel free to call me at (619) 438-1 161, extension 4499, if you
have any questions.
