Dear Deborah:
We are currently considering developing a different brand extended stay hotel on
the property located between Laguna, Grand, and Interstate 5. As a result, the
configuration elevations and site layout will be different; so, I am requesting that you halt
any further action on this application pending a reconfiguration and finalization of our
plans.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Re: Carlsbad Village Suites - Marriott TownePlace Suites
Development permit application no.: 97-06
Dear Deborah:
On August 20, 1997, I submitted ten (10) sets of plans along with other required
documents to obtain a permit to construct a 106-unit Marriott TownePlace Suites in
Carlsbad adjacent to Interstate 5 between Grand and Laguna Avenues.
Marriott Corporation has asked that the site plan and parking configuration be
adjusted slightly. They want the 60-room building moved forward 18 feet to allow for an
improved parking plan on both ends of the building and they have relocated the trash
enclosure to the rear of the property next to the freeway off-ramp. Marriott also has
several additional planting areas to break-up the long parking stalls.
I have enclosed ten (10) copies of the revised site plan for your approval as we are
requesting that this modified site plan replace the original one submitted on August 20,
1997.
Please call if you need anything further.
Sincerely,
a-
Sandor W. Shapery

Preliminary review of your project was conducted on September 7, 1990. Listed below are the
issues raised by staff. Please note that the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with
direction and comments on the overall concept ofyour project. The preliminary review does not
represent an in-depth analysis of your proiect. Additional issues of concern mav be raised after vour
application is submitted and processed for a more specific and detailed review.
Plannina
1. Thirty foot driveways are required throughout the entire site. This includes the area leading
to the garages.
2. The walls located in the required front yard setbacl<s should not exceed a height of 42
inches for aesthetics, safety and driveway visibility.
3. Noise, architectural treatment, and setback along the east building elevation adjacent to
1-5 are all issues of concern. No building elevations were provided for this elevation,
therefore it is difficult to assess this aspect of the project.
4. With no openings to the freeway because of noise considerations, light and air for the
internal units along the freeway becomes an issue.
5. Check with the Fire Department for confirmation that all the units could be served
adequately with fire equipment.
6. The Planning Department has an Administrative Policy No. 24 which concerns the
definition of a street and driveway within a Planned Residential Development The
distinction between the two is made for the purpose of determining setback requirements.
Private streets require a 20 foot setback from the edge ofthe street and driveways require
a minimum of five feet from the edge of the driveway. Your eastern building along 1-5
obsen/es a five foot settiack where 20 feet is required from the internal street Before staff
can deviate from the policy and recommend approval of the project, detailed findings must
be made to justify the superiority of this design over another design that would meet the
policy.

1. If you use an automatic gate you must provide a turnaround.
2. The emergency access and additional curb cut on Laguna will be permitted only if the Fire
Department requires it If it is required, then the area for the emergency access should
not be paved. Use "grass-crete" which will blend with the surrounding front yard
landscaping.
3. A five foot back-up clearance is required at the end of the driveway and adjacent to Units
11/16 and Units 22/27 (see plans).
Please contact me at 438-1161 if you have any questions.

Plannina:
1. The project density of 11.66 du's/ac exceeds the Growth Control Point of 11.5 du's/ac
which is the highest density allowed in this General Plan Designation (RMH).
2. Thirty foot driveways are required with a 5 foot setback to the building (this includes the
decks) off the 30 foot driveway (see marked plans).
3. Pedestrian access to the street is required, (i.e. sidewalks along the driveway).
4. With 28 units, 10 guest spaces are required.
5. The lot is double fronted and buildings or decks should not encroach into the two 20 foot
required front yard setbacks along Grand and Laguna.
6. Garages must measure 20' x 20' from the inside of the building wall.
7. A noise study is required and the City's Noise Policy applies to this project
8. Guest parking spaces must be located at least 5 feet from any dwelling units or structures.
9. For projects over 10 dwelling units, recreational vehicle parking must be provided at a ratio
of 20 square feet for each dwelling unit

10. Need to show central refuse pickup areas.
11. The building elevations along the freeway should have plenty of visual and architectural
interest On this building, the driveway elevations are too long and linear. Provide more
offsets and insets or possibly a break in the building. This will provide more shading,
relief and visual interest
Enaineerina:
1. The through connection between cul-de-sacs will not be permitted. You cannot have
access from both streets for one lot We will require that all lots be consolidated into one
lot
2. You will probably be required to complete a temporary street drainage system along Grand
Avenue to Hope (asphalt berm).
3. You need sidewalks on the interior private "streets".

RE: MARRIOTT TOWNEPLACE SUITES
Dear Mr. Friesen:
The following is in response to the correspondence you forwarded to my office, dated July 25,
1997 regarding the proposed Marriott Towneplace Suites on the site at the end of Grand Avenue
and Laguna Drive, within the City ofCarlsbad. This correspondence provides some corrections
to the information you received on July 24, 1997 from the Planning Department.
I wanted to preface my comments by indicating that this project is slightly more complicated
than most because two of the parcels proposed for development are inside the Village
Redevelopment Area and two are outside. Properties within the Village Redevelopment Area
must be developed according to the specific development standards outlined within the Village
Master Plan and Design Manual. Attached is a copy of the standards which will apply to the
subject project.
A redevelopment permit is required for the subject project. Therefore, the project must be in
compliance with the attached development standards in order to obtain approval. If the
development standard can't be met, the applicant will be required to request a variance.
Unfortunately, the Planning Department did not have a fmal copy of the Village Master Plan and
Design Manual when you called on July 24, 1997. Therefore, the planner was not aware of the
changes which had been made to the development standards. The standards attached represent
the standards which have been approved for development in the Village Area.
Height Limit:
The height limit for the land use district in which the subject project is located is 35 feet with a
minimum 5:12 roof pitch. To exceed this maximum height standard, a variance must be granted.
To be granted a height variance, the Redevelopment Agency must find that the project height is
I) visually compatible with surrounding buildings, 2) the increased height will not unduly impact
nearby residential areas, 3) the taller project will not adversely impact views, 4) the project will
maintain a scale and character compatible with the Village and the guidelines contained vvithin
the Village Master Plan and Design Manual, and/or 5) the project provides for exceptional
design quality and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Redevelopment
Area.

At this time, it would be difficult to tell you if staff will support a variance for the height. We
will need to review the completed plan to determine any potential impact on surrounding
properties. It is important to note that the impact on the single family homes to the east of the
sight will be considered in any decision to support a height variance.
Set Backs:
The set backs standards are provided in ranges to allow for some flexibility to accommodate
desirable design features. Typically, the top of the range is the desired standard. However, a
reduction in the standard to the minimum, or anywhere within the range, may be allowed if the
project warrants such a reduction, and the appropriate fmdings are made by the approving body.
The findings which must be made are included in the attached information. To go below the
minimum or above the maximum, a variance must be approved with the appropriate findings.
Please note again that there is no parking permitted within the front or rear set backs. Also,
please note the open space requirements.
Parking:
No corrections to the parking information provided by Mike Grim.
Engineering Comments:
In a previous preliminary review of the project by the City's Engineering Department, comments
were provided as related to access to the site and public improvements. I do not believe that this
information had been previously provided to Mr. Shapery. Therefore, I am forwarding it to you
at this time for review and consideration.
If you have any questions regarding the above information, please contact my office at (760)
434-2935.
