The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Consistency Determination for the
property located at 1 Legoland Drive, (APN: 211-100-09-00) which is a modification to Legoland
California SDP 96-14 for the development of a theme park. The proposed modifications include:
• Adding two new parking toll booths to the main parking entry to increase the efficiency of entry
for visitors from six lanes to nine, and
• Site modifications (paving/landscaping) to accommodate new toll booths and a new bio-
retention basin in an existing landscape area
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the following
findings must be made:
1} No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered
essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves
upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
3} The proposed revision does not change the density or boundary of the subject property.
4} The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original
permit.
5} The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development.
6} The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
7} The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require
additional mitigation.
8} The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which
would be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10} The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved.
