As you know our building permit extension expires on March 25, 1988. We have not received the building permit and therefore, ask for another extension until the parking issue is resolved. Consequently, as soon as we receive the building permit we would ask that the coastal permit be made available at that time. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Because of the uncertainty of the timing of the hotel development, curb cuts and driveway aprons are not presently included in the streetscape construction. However, the following water services will be extended to the parcel's property line at the time of the streetscape construction: 6" fire service $ 2,500 Fire hydrant assembly 2,500 Three 2" water services 3,000 Total $ 8,000 The above costs are the Costa Real Municipal Water District's estimated work order charges that will be billed to the City at the time of construction. Costa Real's charges for plan checking and inspection are not included. These water services should be constructed with streetscape because they will eventually be needed no matter how the parcel develops. It would require removal of the streetscape curb, sidewalk, and landscaping to install them later. Reimbursement of the City's costs for the water service extension should be added to the conditions of development for this property. A final estimate of the water service costs will be available at the time of construction.

Sincerely, CHRIS SALOMONE Community Redevelopment Manager CS:BH:al ITEM 3 INFORMATION ITEM DATE: JANUARY 21, 1987 TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD FROM: REDEVELOPMENT OFFICE SUBJECT: RP 85-19 - CALIFORNIA BUILDERS -Condition amendment and addition of driveway. The Design Review Board approved RP 85-19 on March 5, 1986, with the Housing and Redevelopment Commission approval following on March 25, 1986. Condition number 5 of Design Review Board Resolution No. 068 which approves this project requires building permits to be issued within one year from the date of project approval or the approval becomes null and void. The applicant is asking for a one year extension of the approval to March 25, 1988. The reasons for the request include the complexity of completing the 57 conditions of approval to the satisfaction of the City, the pursuit of proper financial commitments, and a delay of several months caused by an engineering and planning staff review of a proposed design change. The proposed change is the addition of a driveway through the porte cochere. The attached document from the engineering department refers to that change. Staff supports the addition of the driveway as conditioned. ATTACHMENTS 1. Letter, dated January 6, 1987, from California Builders 2. Engineering Department memo QaCifotnia 3ui6dez6 P.O.

ROWE CFR/jn January 14, 1987 TO: ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER FROM: PRINCIPAL CIVIL ENGINEER DRIVEWAY ON CARLSBAD BOULEVARD FOR CARLSBAD BOULEVARD HOTEL (REDEVELOPNENT PERMIT 85-19) The developer of the above referenced project is requesting approval of two (2) driveway cuts on Carlsbad Boulevard as shown on Improvement Plan Drawing No. 273-1, Sheet 2. These curb cuts would facilitate a one-way driveway that allows a right turn to the Hotel site from northbound Carlsbad Boulevard traffic, thus providing access to the porte cochere serving the Hotel. The driveway is similar to the one approved for the Tamarack Beach Resort, also located on Carlsbad Boulevard. The project was originally conditioned to provide a loading/ unloading zone (white curb) on Carlsbad Boulevard in front of the Hotel. White curb has a time restriction of three (3) minutes. City Standards only allows emergency stopping on a major arterial, which is the classification of Carlsbad Boulevard. The driveway and porte cochere, as proposed, could be considered a safety improvement by eliminating the need to stop on Carlsbad Boulevard. However, the driveway is skewed approximately 45** in relationship to Carlsbad Boulevard rather than 90° as a standard driveway would be. Pedestrians would need to cross two (2) driveway openings with a potential for conflicts between entering traffic and the pedestrians using the sidewalk. There are sidewalk driveway. Boulevard, basically two (2) concepts associated with providing a for pedestrians in conjunction with the proposed A sidewalk can be installed parallel to Carlsbad as shown on the plan, requiring pedestrians to cross both driveway openings. With the angled driveway approach it can be expected that traffic will turn from Carlsbad Boulevard at a slightly higher speed than if the driveway intersected the road at a 90" angle. The acute angle of the driveway will require that the pedestrians exercise caution in checking for conflicting vehicular traffic prior to crossing the driveway. A second option would be to build a sidewalk parallel to and between the driveway and the Hotel, thereby routing pedestrians through the loading/unloading area under the porte cochere. This Assistant City En^^eer Driveway on Carlsbad Boulevard January 14, 1987 Page: 2 has a disadvantage of mixing Hotel patrons with the general public using the sidewalk. Some pedestrians may choose not to use the sidewalk and thus be forced to walk in the street. In that case, there is a potential for serious conflicts between pedestrians and vehicular traffic on Carlsbad Boulevard. Two sidewalks are proposed for this project. The drawing provides a sidewalk for Hotel patrons to access the public sidewalk, thereby keeping Hotel faedestrians out of the driveway. The sidewalk parallel to the curb and gutter is provided for the public to use and not be forced into Carlsbad Boulevard. I discussed this situation with the City Engineer and he approves the concept shown. The volume of traffic using the driveway to the porte cochere is expected to be relatively light. In my opinion, allowing the driveway would be more desirable than having Hotel patrons park on Carlsbad Boulevard for a short time to load and unload. Also, the sidewalks shown on the improvement plans should be approved, recognizing that either option for the sidewalk has advantages and disadvantages. ROBERT T. JOHNSON,^ JR. , P.E.

HOLZMILLER Planning Director Planning Dep>w^tmentJ MJH:bn JANUARY 21, 1986 TO: DEE LANDERS FROM: MARTY BOUMAN COMMENTS RE: CALIFORNIA BUILDERS The project has no significant adverse traffic impact. It's typical peak hour traffic generation does not coincide with normal street peak traffic hours, thus it's primary traffic distribution southerly on Carlsbad Boulevard can be efficiently absorbed through the traffic signals at Carlsbad and Grand, Carlsbad and ELm and Carlsbad and Tamarack. The driveway entrance on Beech Street is closer to the corner than is desirable, but Beech is a lightly traveled street, extending only one block easterly from Carlsbad Boulevard, dTven though the developer's frontage on Beech Street is only 95 feet wide, a driveway there is a fair trade-off for not having any driveway access to the property from Carlsbad Boulevard. On both Beech Street and Christiansen Way, the design of the up and down-ramps to the offstreet parking levels must be such as to limit the gradient to 14%. Grades in excess of 14% will cause vehicles to "bottom out". At the corner of Carlsbad Boulevard and Christiansen Way there is an existing 95' x 100' parcel which is not a part of the project. The developer is proposing to build curb, gutter and sidewalk only on his project frontage, and transition to the existing pavement edge on the "missing parcel" with 6 inch A.C. berms on each street. From the standpoint of drainage, traffic safety and esthetics, such would be undesirable. The curb and gutter (if not the sidewalk) should be connected around the corner along the "missing parcel" frontage.
