Project Description (revised 3/5/97):
The focus of LEGOLAND Carlsbad will be on the provision of fun and creative, educational experiences
for children in the age group 2 through 13 and their families. The planning and design is based on the
following goals:
• Establish the child as the focal point
• Provide for family interaction and fun
• Facilitate participation and creativity
• Create a world of learning
• Develop themed areas corresponding to LEGO brands
• Create a "park within a park"
• Provide comfort and quality for guests and staff
• Provide environmental sensitivity including designing with nature, energy conservation, reuse and
recycling
• Create synergy with the local community and environment
LEGOLAND Carlsbad is primarily an outdoor experience. Attractions are placed in landscaped settings
themed to the attraction. Interior attractions and "dark rides" are relatively few. Special emphasis is
placed in developing as much interactivity into the attractions as possible - all designed to entertain and
educate young guests by actively involving them in the attractions.
Basic project statistics:
Acreage (approximate):
• Outer Park:
LEGO Drive and perimeter landscape setbacks: 21 acres
Parking Lots: 43 acres
Future parking expansion: 10 acres
• Inner Park:
Attraction Areas (developed with the first phase): 35 acres
Future expansion areas (to be mulch-covered in the interim): 15 acres
Service & Administration: 5 acres
Total Park Area: 129 acres
Rides, Shows and Attractions*:
• approximately 25 rides and attractions, 8 show venues
Facilities and development elements:
• 187,813 square feet of buildings (1st Phase; allowable construction at buildout per Specific Plan is
425,750 s.f.)
architecture: one- and (2/3 scale) two-story facades with theming on attraction buildings and
associated structures (associated structures include queue shade structures, and open shade/shelter
structures, and various stands)
• 4 restaurants, plus various stands and carts
• 4 main retail shops, plus various stands and carts
• heavy landscaping, including a 90,000 square-foot lagoon
• parking for 5344 vehicles, including future expansion
• screened "back-of-house" structures (Plant rooms, maintenance sheds, utility structures/enclosures)
• Administration and Services area designed to accommodate views from future offsite areas
• New infrastructure (utility corridors, LEGO Drive)
All structures are within the heights proposed for LEGOLAND in the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan.
The Site:
The site is of rolling terrain which varies about thirty feet inside the park. The terrain inside the park is
used to contain vistas within the park to enhance the experience of having "left the real world behind."
Landscape is much more integral to the concept of a LEGOLAND than in other theme parks. The "Guest
Experience" is paramount in LEGOLAND, and the orientation toward children ages 2 to 12 is felt to be
greatly aided by the use of plantings. Per the Specific Plan, landscaping around the park perimeters is
used to screen views into the park from adjacent development to the west.
The Park will initially consist of nine themed areas and the administrative/service area (the "Inner Park"),
and the parking lots, access roads and perimeter setbacks (the "Outer Park").
Inner Park:
Themed areas:
The Beginning
DUPLO Village
The Ridge
Funtown
The Garden
Castle Hill
Miniland
The Lagoon
Imagination Center
Service and Administration Area
Outer Park:
Lego Drive
Parking Toll Booths
Guest Parking Lot
Employee Parking Lot
Perimeter Landscape
Following are more detailed descriptions of the above areas:
Inner Park
The Beginning:
All guests enter the Inner Park through The Beginning. Facilities include:
• entry plaza
• ticket kiosks and turnstiles
• guest services (information, group sales, stroller rentals, ATM's, lost and found, first aid, lockers, rest
rooms, etc.)
• retail shop
• food carts
• retail carts
• seasonal exhibit
• the "marketplace"
• LEGO "stop and wonders" (humorous LEGO model exhibits)
• plaza overlooking The Lagoon
The Lagoon:
As guests pass through the Beginning, one of their first and most dramatic views will be of The Lagoon.
The Lagoon is the dominant landscape feature in the park and will help to give the guest a point of
reference and orientation as well as a beautiful amenity. The Family Boat Ride in the lagoon takes guests
on a "world tour." Around the shoreline will be famous scenes from around the world depicted in LEGO
bricks. Several themed pedestrian bridges cross the lagoon. Waterfalls and weirs add drama to the
scene. The Lagoon will appear to flow into various clusters and attractions, such the Safari Ride, Miniland
Harbor and Boating School.
DUPLO Village:
DUPLO Village is designed as the Imaginary Garden of the Child with themed elements, patterned after
the DUPLO brand of toys that are designed for the youngest age group. The attractions in this area
include:
• Safar; Ride: a tour through the wilds of Africa where the lifelike animals are made of LEGO bricks.
• Fairy Tale Brook: Guest float along a stream in "leaf boats. Scenes from popular fairy tales are
depicted in LEGO bricks.
• Waterworks: Interactive LEGO sculptures & water features.
• DUPLO Play Town: a fun area of play featuring a maze, train, and other features for young children.
• Magic Theater A "behind the scenes" look at a magic show.
• Outdoor Show: a small amphitheater for live shows.
• Puppet show cart
• DUPLO Retail Shop
• Pasfa Patch Restaurant: freshly-prepared food on real dinnerware
• Food and retail carts
Funtown:
A town setting provides an environment where children can role play and imagine they are doing such
grown-up things as driving a car, piloting a helicopter, going on an explorer's expedition, or skippering a
boat. The most "architectural" of the clusters, Funtown has themed building facades set around a city
"parkette", or town square. Components include:
• Driving School: children learn the rules of the road and receive a LEGO driver's license
• Mini Driving School: driving school for the younger child
• Boating School: learn to skipper a boat
• Helicopters: fly up in the air and sneak a look into the Robin's nests
• Fire Engine Show: a live show around a fire engine
• Explorers Institute: go on an expedition to ancient Egypt, the North Pole, and the jungles of Africa.
• LEGO Factory Tour learn how LEGO bricks are made
• LEGO Play Pavillion: fun with LEGO
• Traffic jam: a fun and zany traffic jam
• Cool Cafe: the coolest Cafe in town, dude
• City Parkette Feature
• Brick Brothers Retail Shop
• Marche Restaurant (incl. staff canteen): the park's largest restaurant, with freshly-prepared food
• Baby Care Center
• Food stands & carts
• Retail carts
• Rest rooms
The Ridge:
The Ridge is a prominent topographic feature in the park and provides a beautiful landscaped backdrop to
the lagoon. Located atop the ridge is a large outdoor maze where guests must find their way to the
reward in the center. The ridge is a "passive" cluster that provides a pleasant break between the active
clusters. Lush landscaping and interesting earth sculpture are featured here. Food and retail carts are
located along the main pathways.
The Garden:
Another of the "passive" clusters, this area features the Garden Restaurant with an outdoor dining terrace
overlooking the lagoon and Miniland. Other features of the Garden cluster are Lombard Walk (a curvy
walkway down the hill), Hopscotch Walk, food carts, retail carts and rest rooms.
Castle Hill:
This cluster is themed after the "Castle" LEGO toy line. Medieval images of kings & queens, knights and
Robin Hood are used. The attractions include:
• Castle Sensory Coaster: not a high speed thrill ride, but a coaster to delight all your senses
• Dungeon Maze: make your way down through the dungeon and watch out for the dragon!
• Breath Taker: more kid-powered fun
• Robin Hood Tree and Rope Climb: the ultimate jungle gym
• Horse Ride: hop on your horse for some medieval jousting
• Gem Wash: try your luck at panning for gemstones
• Enchanted Walk: stroll through the forest full of wild creatures
• Royal Pavilion
• LEGO Play
• Castle Inn Food Court
• Food Stands and Carts
• Retail Carts
Miniland: Miniland is the heart and soul of LEGOLAND and is its best known attraction. This area
illustrates the creative uses of LEGO bricks with miniature scale models of famous buildings, landmarks
and scenes from around America. The Miniland models are alive with movement and sound. Miniland is
arranged in mini-clusters, each themed after a particular American region:
• New York
• Washington D.C.
• New Orleans
• California
• Harbor, New England
An indoor minicluster around the "space" theme has been incorporated within the miniland plantroom
facility. Outside, a model maker takes questions and answers from guests. The overlook plaza has
dramatic views of miniland from above. Miniland includes food and retail carts, as well as expansion
areas for future models.
Imagination Center:
This cluster emphasizes learning and exploration. Children and adults can participate in building activities
with LEGO products. Expert LEGO staff are available to work with the participants. Attractions and
components include:
• LEGO Workshops: LEGO workshops are places where children and adults are involved in fun and
creative play with LEGO building projects and classes, most with an educational emphasis.
• LEGO Experience Show: The audience is treated to an interactive, humorous show in a 4,696 s.f.
theater building.
• Family Boat Ride: the queue and boat launch facility is located in the Imagination Center cluster. See
"Lagoon" cluster for description.
• Construction Site: a LEGO construction site with interactive construction equipment & vehicles
• Imagination Cafe
• School Picnic Area
• Corporate Picnic Area (later in First Phase)
• Retail stands and carts
• Food stands and carts
• Rest rooms
Inner Park Infrastructure buildings:
Throughout the park there are various support buildings for electrical, mechanical, water and control
systems. These are designed to be as inconspicuous as possible through a combination of placement,
landscape and/or earthwork concealment. Should one of these structures be so situated that it cannot be
minimized with such strategies, it will be themed in concert with its cluster.
Future Inner Park Expansion Areas
The LEGOLAND site has been planned to allow for future growth. Expansion areas have been set aside
to accommodate future attraction development and parking lot expansion. The expansion areas will be
mass graded during the initial park construction and temporary berming and landscaping installed to
screen the expansion areas from the first phase of development.
Service and Administration Area
Service, maintenance and administration functions are grouped together at the eastern end of the park.
Access to the park for all deliveries and other service needs will be from Hidden Valley Road and
processed through the Service and Administration area. Components include:
• Administration Building: 25,537 s.f., one story, tilt-up construction. Management offices, meeting
rooms, employee training facilities and dressing areas.
• Maintenance & Storage Building: approx. 20,516 s.f. single story with mezzanine, tilt-up construction.
Flexible, multi-use facility, loading dock.
• Gardening Shed & Yard & Paint Booth
• Refuse Collection Area: trash compactors, recyclable materials separation & storage, equipment wash
down areas.
• Outdoor Storage yard
• Utilities: Primary electrical switch gear & meters, emergency electrical generators, and connections to
natural gas, reclaimed water, fire flow and potable water.
Outer Park (
The Outer park includes the main entry road (LEGO Drive), the guest and employee parking lots, and
landscape setbacks around the park perimeter boundary. Specifics of these areas are listed below:
• LEGO Drive approx. 1500 lineal feet, four lanes. Privately owned and maintained by LEGOLAND
from the southern end of the roundabout, to the parking lot. LEGO Drive is heavily landscaped to
provide a pleasant entry experience to the park and screen adjacent land uses. LEGO "Welcome
Letters" are a special feature along the road.
• Parking Kiosks: Guests will purchase parking passes at the toll kiosks located at the end of LEGO
Drive before entering the parking lot. Parking attendants will direct parking during peak hours.
• Parking lot: approx. 43 acres in the first phase, with an additional 10 acres for future expansion.
Lighted and landscaped. Parking statistics are as follows:
Required by Specific Plan Provided
Phase 1 Guest parking*: 3,500 spaces (min.)
Employee parking: 600 spaces
Bus parking: 60 spaces
Future parking expansion: 1.150 spaces
('includes autos, RVs and handicapped spaces) 5,310
The parking area is divided by a series of hedgrerows and a center spine into what have been referred to
as "outdoor rooms". The hedgerows, in addition to offering a user-friendly conceptual organizing element
to this large lot, offer screening of the parking lot superior to the normal shopping-center landscape, and
are also used to absorb a good deal of the grade change across the site. Parking is also enhanced by the
use of the large "rooms" in that a speed-parking procedure will be used to handle the large inflow of
parking at opening. Speed-parking is familiar to those who have visited any of Southern California's
theme parks, consisting of personnel directing vehicles to spaces in order by use of hand signals and
traffic-cone-defined aisles which are shifted as the lot fills.
The northeast quadrant of the main lot is for bus and RV parking, with access from both LEGO Drive and
from Hidden Valley Road.
• Landscape setbacks are required by the City around the perimeter boundary of the park. These
setbacks will be landscaped to screen adjacent land uses and public roads. The setbacks vary from
20' wide at Hidden Valley Road to 140' wide along Palomar Airport Road. Storm water detention
basins and pollution control basins are within the Palomar Airport Road setback, as required.
Park-wide Systems
Automated security systems will be located throughout the park utilizing fiber-optic transmission and
central closed circuit TV monitoring at critical areas. See the Security Planning section.
Communication systems for point-of-sale and other communication needs will be installed.
Utilities: Primary and secondary utility corridors and distribution systems will run throughout the park.
Sewer, storm drainage, fire flow, potable and reclaimed water, electrical and natural gas utilities will be
developed. 12 kva is the primary electrical service. Reclaimed water will be utilized from the City's
municipal system for landscape irrigation.

walkway down the hill), Hopscotch Walk, food carts, retail carts and rest rooms.
Castle Hill:
This cluster is themed after the "Castle" LEGO toy line. Medieval images of kings & queens, knights and
Robin Hood are used. The attractions include:
• Castle Sensory Coaster: not a high speed thrill ride, but a coaster to delight all your senses
• Dungeon Maze: make your way down through the dungeon and watch out for the dragon!
• Breath Taker: more kid-powered fun
• Robin Hood Tree and Rope, Climb: the ultimate jungle gym
• Horse Ride: hop on your horse for some medieval jousting
• Gem Wash: try your luck at panning for gemstones
• Enchanted Walk: stroll through the forest full of wild creatures
• Royal Pavillion
• LEGO Play
• Green Room
• Puppet Show Cart
• Outdoor Show (Castle)
• Birthday Tent
• Castle Inn Food Court
• Food Stands and Carts
• Retail Carts
Miniland: Miniland is the heart and soul of LEGOLAND and is its best known attraction. This area
illustrates the creative uses of LEGO bricks with miniature scale models of famous buildings, landmarks
and scenes from around America. The Miniland models are alive with movement and sound. Miniland is
arranged in mini-clusters, each themed after a particular American region:
• New York
• Washington D.C.
• New Orleans
• California
• Harbor, Cape Cod
An indoor minicluster around the "space" theme has been incorporated within the miniland plantroom
facility. Outside, a model maker takes questions and answers from guests. The overtook plaza has
dramatic views of miniland from above. Miniland includes food and retail carts, as well as expansion
areas for future models.
Imagination Center:
This cluster emphasizes learning and exploration. Children and adults can participate in building activities
with LEGO products. Expert LEGO staff are available to work with the participants. Attractions and
components include:
• LEGO Workshops: LEGO workshops are places where children and adults are involved in fun and
creative play with LEGO building projects and classes, most with an educational emphasis.
• LEGO Experience Show: The audience is treated to an interactive, humorous show. Approximately a
4,700 s.f. theater building.
• Family Boat Ride: the queue and boat launch facility is located in the Imagination Center cluster. See
"Lagoon" cluster for description.

Inner Park Infrastructure buildings:
Throughout the park there are various support buildings for electrical, mechanical, water and control
systems. These are designed to be as inconspicuous as possible through a combination of placement,
landscape and/or earthwork concealment. Should one of these structures be so situated that it cannot be
minimized with such strategies, it will be themed in concert with its cluster.
Future Inner Park Expansion Areas
The LEGOLAND site has been planned to allow for future growth. Expansion areas have been set aside
to accommodate future attraction development and parking lot expansion. The expansion areas will be
mass graded during the initial park construction and temporary berming and landscaping installed to
screen the expansion areas from the first phase of development.
Service and Administration Area
Service, maintenance and administration functions are grouped together at the eastern end of the park.
Access to the park for all deliveries and other service needs will be from Hidden Valley Road and
processed through the Service and Administration area. Components include:
;--• Administration Building: approx. 26,000 s.f., one story, tilt-up construction. Management offices,
meeting rooms, employee training facilities and dressing areas.
• Maintenance & Storage Building: 21,000 s.f. single story plus mezzanine, tilt-up construction.
Flexible, multi-use facility, loading dock.
• Gardening Shed & Yard & Paint Booth
• Refuse Collection Area: trash compactors, recyclable materials separation & storage, equipment
wash down areas.
• Outdoor Storage yard
• Utilities: Primary electrical switch gear & meters, emergency electrical generators, and points of
connection for natural gas, reclaimed water, fire flow and potable water.
Outer Park
The Outer park includes the main entry road (LEGO Drive), the guest and employee parking lots, and
landscape setbacks around the park perimeter boundary. Specifics of these areas are listed below:
• LEGO Drive approx. 1500 lineal feet, four lanes. Privately owned and maintained by LEGOLAND
from the southern end of the roundabout, to the parking lot. LEGO Drive is heavily landscaped to
provide a pleasant entry experience to the park and screen adjacent land uses. LEGO "Welcome
Letters" are a special feature along the road.
• Parking Kiosks: Guests will purchase parking passes at the toll kiosks located at the end of LEGO
Drive before entering the parking lot. Parking attendants will direct parking during peak hours.
• Parking lot: approx. 43 acres in the first phase, with an additional 10 acres for future expansion.
Lighted and landscaped. Parking statistics are as follows:
Required by Specific Plan Provided
Phase 1 Guest parking*: 3,500 spaces (min.)
Employee parking: 600 spaces
Bus parking: 60 spaces
Future parking expansion: 1.150 spaces
("includes autos, RV's and handicapped spaces) 5,310
The parking area is divided by a series of hedgrerows and a center spine into what have been referred to
as "outdoor rooms". The hedgerows, in addition to offering a user-friendly conceptual organizing-element
to this large lot, offer screening of the parking lot superior to the normal shopping-center landscape, and
are also used to absorb a good deal of the grade change across the site. Parking is also enhanced by
the use of the large "rooms" in that a speed-parking procedure will be used to handle the large inflow of
parking at opening. Speed-parking is familiar to those who have visited any of Southern California's
theme parks, consisting of personnel directing vehicles to spaces in order by use of hand signals and
traffic-cone-defined aisles which are shifted as the lot fills.
The northeast quadrant of the main lot is for bus and RV parking, with access from both LEGO Drive and
from Hidden Valley Road.
• Landscape setbacks are required by the City around the perimeter boundary of the park. These
setbacks will be landscaped to screen adjacent land uses and public roads. The setbacks vary from
20' wide at Hidden Valley Road to 140' wide along Palomar Airport Road. Storm water detention
basins and pollution control basins are within the Palomar Airport Road setback, as required.
Park-wide Systems
Automated security systems will be located throughout the park utilizing fiber-optic transmission and
central closed circuit TV monitoring at critical areas. See the Security Planning section.
Communication systems for point-of-sale and other communication needs will be installed.
Utilities: Primary and secondary utility corridors and distribution systems will run throughout the park.
Sewer, storm drainage, fire flow, potable and reclaimed water, electrical and possibly natural gas utilities
will be developed. 12 kva is the primary electrical service. Reclaimed water will be utilized from the
City's municipal system for landscape irrigation.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant
effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following
pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human
factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to
use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR),
Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
• A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are
adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each
question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information
sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A
"No Impact" answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or
it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
• "Less Than Significant Impact" applies where there is supporting evidence that the
potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted
general standards and policies.
• "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation
of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the
City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the
effect to a less than significant level.
• "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an
effect is significant.
• Based on an "EIA-Part II", if a proposed project could have a potentially significant
effect on the environment, but ail potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or
Mitigated Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a
supplement to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required
by the prior environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no
additional environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
• When "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked the project is not necessarily required
to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a "Statement of
Overriding Considerations" has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
• A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence
that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
Rev. 03/28/96
• If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant,
and those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In
this case, the appropriate "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated"
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
• An EIR must be prepared if "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked, and including
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has
not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and
the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than
significant; (2) a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" for the significant impact has
not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not
reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II analysis it is not
possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the
form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention
should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined
significant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
LEGOLAND Carlsbad will include approximately 100 structures of various types for provision
of administration and service, guest support, retail and various attractions such as rides, play
areas and displays on an initially-developed 37 acres in the "Inner Park". Approximately 26
acres will be held in reserve for future expansion. In the "Outer Park," the project will include
parking for approximately 4100 cars, with expansion for approximately 1100 additional cars.
There will also be parking for x buses and RV's. In conformance with the Carlsbad Ranch
Specific Plan the design of the proposed structures will be compatible with a Mediterranean
architectural character,, although they will not be of that character. The structures are all within
the heights proposed for LEGOLAND in the specific plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project was evaluated in the "Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment Final
Program Environmental Impact Report, dated November 1995 (EIR 94-01)." EIR 94-01
evaluates the environmental effects of the development and operation of the Carlsbad Ranch
Specific Plan; improvements to the I-5/Cannon Road Interchange; and the development of a
24.2 acre parcel immediately adjacent to the northern boundary of the specific plan site. The
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan is a planning document which will guide the development of a
447.4 acre area through the provision of a comprehensive set of guidelines, regulations, and
implementation programs. The proposed land uses for the Specific Plan include office, research
and development, related light manufacturing, commercial, hotel, destination resort, golf course,
agriculture, a vocational school campus, and LEGOLAND Carlsbad. The 24.2 acre parcel
adjacent to the northern boundary is proposed as a continuation of the Specific Plan golf course.
EIR 94-01 analyzed the following environmental issue areas: Agricultural Resources, Air
Quality, Archaeological and Paleontological Resources, Biological Resources,
Traffic/Circulation, Hazardous Waste/Pesticide Residue, Land Use Compatibility; Noise, Public
Services and Utilities, Solid Waste, Visual Aesthetics/Grading, and Water Quality. The Initial
Study prepared for the Specific Plan Amendment is contained in Appendix A of EIR 94-01 and
analyzed additional issues which were determined not to have a significant environmental
impact. EIR 94-01 was certified by the Carlsbad City Council on January 9, 1996. At that time
Candidate Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation and
Monitoring Program were approved. All mitigation measures applicable to the LEGOLAND
Carlsbad project proposed for Planning Area 4 of the Carlsbad Ranch have been incorporated
into the project design or are required as conditions of approval for the project.
References to the applicable section of EIR 94-01 are provided next to each item on this
environmental impact assessment form. A brief explanation is provided in the following section
for each item checked as having a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant
unless mitigation incorporated":
I. LAND USE AND PLANNING
The project site includes land that was approved for tentative cancellation of a Williamson Act
Land Conservation Contract. The analysis in EIR 94-01 concluded that no mitigation measures
10 Rev. 03/28/96
are necessary as project impacts will be reduced to level less than significant through the
payment of fees consistent with the coastal program, the preservation of 53 acres on-site, and
through the implementation of policies contained in the specific plan.
The EIR analysis concluded that the conversion of the existing agricultural lands on the Carlsbad
Ranch and cumulative areas to urban uses will result in a significant incremental impact to
agricultural resources. A statement of overriding considerations was adopted for this cumulative
impact.
V. AIR QUALITY:
a) violate standards/contribute to projected violation:
No significant impacts as a result of construction activity are anticipated. Implementation of the
air quality mitigation measures will lessen long-term operation air quality impacts to a level less
than significant. It was concluded in the analysis for EIR 94-01 that the development anticipated
under the proposed specific plan amendment together with the development of other related
projects will have a significant and unavoidable cumulative impact on the region's air quality. A
statement of overriding considerations was adopted for this cumulative impact. (EIR section 5.2)
VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION:
a): Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion:
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updated
1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate
to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely
impacted by regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These
generally include all freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad
Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections
are projected to fail the City's adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout.
To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan buildout,
numerous mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include
measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to
develop alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks,
pedestrian linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation
strategies when adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or
State Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to
control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have
either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project
approval.
Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the
failure of intersections at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefore,
the "Initial Study" checklist is marked "Potentially Significant Impact". This project is
consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the
recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included
a "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" for circulation impacts. This "Statement Of
11 ' Rev. 03/28/96
Overriding Considerations" applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan's
Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of circulation
impacts is required. (EIR section 5.5)
VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES:
The EIR concluded that the specific plan project will result in impacts to Diegan coastal scrub
and indirect impacts to sensitive resources immediately adjacent. LEGOLAND's development
will not impact the former, and mitigation measures are being taken to minimize the latter, in the
form of detention basins for drainage runoff, and noise and light control measures during
construction to avoid disturbance to a nesting gnatcher pair. (EIR section 5.4)
XII. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
f) Solid waste disposal
The generation of additional solid waste is a potentially significant impact. The mitigation
measure identified in EIR 94-01 which has been applied to the project will reduce this impact to
a level of less than significant. The mitigation measure requires the submittal of a solid waste
management plan to address the project's needs for recycling facilities and diversion
programs/measures which can be implemented.
g) Local or regional water supplies
The project will require the construction of onsite water lines. The impacts of buildout of the
Carlsbad Ranch project to water supplies are potentially significant. Implementation of the
mitigation measures contained in EIR 94-01 will reduce impacts to a level of less than
significant. The mitigation includes utilizing reclaimed water for landscaping on the project site.
XVI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE:
a) potential to degrade the environment:
The EIR identified potentials for disturbance of a nesting gnatcatcher pair and loss of
archaeological and paleontological resources. Mitigation measures were prescribed which will
be implemented with construction of LEGOLAND. (EIR sections 5.3 and 5.4)
b) cumulatively considerable impacts:
Areas of the specific plan contain archaeological resources and geological formations with a
high potential for yielding significant paleontological and fossil resources. Mitigation measures
requiring archeological and paleontological monitors are required for the project and will be
implemented during the mass grading for LEGOLAND. (EIR section 5.3)
12 Rev. 03/28/96
LIST OF MITIGATING MEASURES
AIR QUALITY:
Provision of preferential sparking spaces for carpools and vanpools and provide 7'2" minimum
vertical clearance in parking facilities for van access unless surface parking is provided for vans.
Implement on-site circulation plan in parking lots to reduce vehicle queuing.
Provision of shade trees to reduce building heating/cooling needs.
Use of energy efficient and automated controls for air conditioning.
Use of energy-efficient low-sodium parking lot lights.
Use of synchronization of traffic lights on streets impacted by development.
Scheduling of truck deliveries and pickups for off-peak hours.
Provision of on-site truck loading zones.
Requiring employers to provide commuter information.
Implementation of compressed work week schedules where weekly work hours are compressed
into fewer than five days, such as 9/80, 4/40, or 3/36 schedules.
Construction of bus turnouts, passenger benches, or shelters as deemed necessary by NCTD.
Construction of off-site pedestrian facility improvements.
Providing of shuttles to major rail transit centers, multi- modal stations, and other local
destinations for all uses within the specific plan. This will be done at such time as warranted by
park attendance.
Contribution to regional transit systems.
Bicycle parking facilities, and showers for bicycling employees' use.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL:
Data recovery and/or capping has been completed for sites within the project boundaries, in
accordance with the city's "Cultural Resource Guidelines."
Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall provide written evidence that a
certified archaeologist has been retained, and shall be present at the pregrading conference, shall
establish procedures for archaeological resource surveillance, and shall establish, in cooperation
with the project proponent, procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work to permit the
sampling, identification and evaluation of artifacts as appropriate. If additional or unexpected
archaeological features are discovered, the archaeologist shall report such findings to the
13 Rev. 03/28/96
applicant and to the City. If the archaeological resources are found to be significant, the
archaeological observer shall determine appropriate actions, in cooperation with the applicant for
exploration and/or salvage. These actions as well as final mitigation and disposition of the
resources, shall be subject to the review of the City.
Prior to issuance of a mass-grading permit, the developer shall present a letter to the City of
Carlsbad indicating that a qualified paleontologist has been retained to carry out an appropriate
mitigation program. The paleontologist should be an individual with a MS or Ph.D. in
paleontology or geology who is familiar with paleontological procedures and techniques.
A qualified paleontologist shall be present at the pre-construction meeting to consult with the
grading and excavation contractors. ;
A paleontological monitor shall be on-site at all times during the original cutting of previously
undisturbed sediments of the Santiago Formation to inspect cuts for contained fossils. The
paleontological monitor should be an individual who has experience in the collection and
salvage of fossil materials. The paleontological monitor shall work under the direction of a
qualified paleontologist. When fossils are discovered, the paleontologist or monitor shall
recover them, n most cases this fossil salvage can be completed in a short period of time. If
large fossil specimens are discovered, they may require an extended salvage period. In these
instances the paleontologist or monitor shall be allowed to temporarily direct, divert, or halt
grading to allow recovery of these remains in a timely manner. Because of the potential for the
recovering of small fossir-remains, such as isolated mammal teeth, it may be necessary in certain
instances top set up a screen-washing operation on the site.
Fossil remains collected during the monitoring and salvage portion of the mitigation program
shall be cleaned, repaired, sorted and cataloged.
Prepared fossils, along with copies of all pertinent field notes, photos, and maps shall be
deposited as a donation in a scientific institution with permanent paleontological collections such
as the San Diego Natural History Museum. Donation of the fossils shall be accompanied by
financial support for initial specimen storage.
A final summary report shall be completed that outlines the results of the mitigation program.
This report shall include discussions of the methods used, stratigraphic section(s) exposed,
fossils collected and significance of recovered fossils, if any.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES:
It is anticipated that the gnatcatcher pair located immediately off-site to the east of the project
will be taken during construction of the municipal golf course being proposed by the City of
Carlsbad. As a result, no mitigation for construction noise impacts that may occur to this pair
are proposed. If through final design of the City-proposed gold course it is determined that this
gnatcatcher pair is not taken, the following mitigation measure for noise impacts shall be
implemented: During the gnatcatcher breeding season (February 15 through August 15), noise
levels during grading shall not exceed 65 decibels, averaged over a one-hour period on an A-
weighted decibel (dBA), measured at the edge of Diegan coastal sage scrub habitat that is
occupied by the coastal California gnatcatcher. Grading could be initiated in areas adjacent to
occupied gnatcatcher habitat prior to August 15 if the pair has successfully fledged young and
14 Rev. 03/28/96
the fledglings are at least three weeks out of the nest. Grading will be allowed adjacent to
habitat occupied by unpaired individual birds.
Lighting should be selectively placed, shielded, and directed away from the areas listed above, in
particular to avoid potential impacts to the coastal California gnatcatcher(s) east of LEGOLAND
and any that may occur in the proposed open space.
TRAFFIC/CIRCULATION:
All traffic mitigation measures off the LEGOLAND site are being implemented by others.
HAZARDOUS WASTE/PESTICIDE RESIDUE:
During grading, observations shall be made by a qualified hazardous materials specialist for
areas of possible contamination such as the presence of underground facilities, buried debris,
stained soils, waste drums and tanks or odorous soils. Should such materials be encountered,
further investigation and analysis shall be required to identify the significance of the potentially
contaminated area. Soil remediation measures to address anypotentially contaminated areas
shall be implemented based on the recommendations of the hazardous materials specialist.
Randomly selected surface samples shall be collected after each phase of grading and chemically
tested for pesticides to verify that toxaphene and DT plus its derivatives are below the
established TTLC and STLC action levels.
During site development, soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons shall be mitigated.
Mitigation techniques shall include:
Placing the affected soil beneath a proposed road/parking area as a base material
Recycling the affected soil; or
Bio-remediation of the affected soil on-site
The applicant shall prepare a report documenting results of any future testing. This report shall
indicate that measures taken to mitigate contamination, as appropriate. The report shall be
submitted to the City of Carlsbad Engineering Department. All recommendations contained in
the report shall be complied with by the applicant.
Compliance with these measures shall be approved by the City of Carlsbad in conjunction with
the review and approval by the San Diego County Department of Health Services and the
Regional Water Quality Control Board as applicable.
PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES:
Prior to Site Development Plan approval, developers shall submit security plans for review and
approval by the Carlsbad Police Department. The plans shall be submitted prior to Site
Development Plan approval, and shall include information about internal security programs,
security systems and devices and any other information required by the Police Department.
15 Rev. 03/28/96
Reclaimed water shall be utilized for all landscaping on the project site to the extent feasible,
the reclaimed water facilities shall be installed in accordance with the conceptual reclaimed
water facility plan as proposed in the specific plan, and City of Carlsbad requirements.
Dual plumbing shall be required for LEGOLAND Carlsbad project as deemed feasible by the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District.
SOLID WASTE:
The applicant shall submit a solid waste management plan for review and approval by the City
of Carlsbad.

Waste Management Plan
LEGOLAND will recycle to the extent required by law, and will participate in voluntary recycling efforts in
addition to that on an economically-determined basis. As the operations are still very much in
formulation, and a more exact plan will evolve as the development of the park progresses. The park has
been designed around a scheme of wheeled waste containers being stationed in enclosures at the
perimeter road, serving as gathering points, which are hauled to a central compacting/bailing/storage site
at the Services and Administration cluster.
The recyclables which will be gathered are largely paper, cardboard and green waste. That is, there are
very little of other types of recyclables contemplated in the park. Plastics, glass and aluminum are
currently being considered to be source-separated for recycling, but will be at an absolute minimum in the
park due to the use of reuseable utensils in the food-service areas. The most recyclables generation will
probably be in the Administration area, where paper recycling will be practiced on a routine basis, and in
the Service area, where cardboard from containers will be gathered and bailed for sale to recyclers.
Green waste will be stockpiled for pickup by composting services in the same location. In addition, it is
currently contemplated that finished compost will be used in the park on an exchange basis, again
pending validation by the operations staff now in formation. The attached illustration shows the routing
concept for the overall park.
Trash, i.e., waste which cannot be recycled (e.g., food-soiled cardboard, wet waste) will be compacted at
the Refuse Enclosure at the northwest corner of the service yard.
The Refuse Enclosure is designed with a split-height floor, with a loading dock on the upper level at the
back, accessed from the service road. On the lower level, haul-away compactor containers will be
accessed from the truck operating area in front. The view from overhead is shielded by a trellis, and the
sides and back are shielded by screen walls. The front is open, with landscape screening shielding the
view from the parking lots to the south. The building has been placed so that its operation does not
conflict with loading/unloading operations at the Services building.
Currently, a number of different equipment pieces have been investigated to create the type of system
cited above. Copies of catalog information on these pieces are attached. As the Operations plans
develop, a waste management consultant will be brought aboard to develop these general plans into
exact LEGOLAND procedures, following which a final plan will be proffered for the City's review and
comment.

LANDSCAPE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
FOR
LEGO LAND
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
A. INTRODUCTION
Landscapes are essential to the quality of life in California. They provide areas for recreation
and can enhance the environment. In addition, landscapes offer people respite and
psychological benefits as well as cultural and social framework and character. With careful
planning and maintenance, our landscapes can be safe, attractive, useful, and environmentally
sound.
It is the intent of this Landscape Water Conservation Plan to promote the values and benefits
of our landscapes while recognizing the need to use water as efficiently as possible.
This Landscape Water Management Plan has been prepared in an effort to comply with City of
Carlsbad Landscape Manual Policies and Requirements for Landscape Irrigation and the State
of California's "Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance" as a requirement of the Water
Conservation in Landscaping Act, Assembly Bill 325, Statutes of 1990, Chapter 1145.
B. GOALS:
• To create a slope stabilizing, recreational, sustainable and water conserving landscaped
environment that reflects the needs of the community and is visually and functionally
integrated into both the surrounding natural and urban environment.
• To utilize, conserve and efficiently use water resources to the maximum extent possible
and permitted.
• To eliminate water waste through the long-term monitoring of plant needs and
appropriate adjustment of irrigation systems.
C. STATEMENT OF SITE CONDITIONS
1. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS;
a. Carlsbad, California where this project will be constructed is considered in the
thermal belt of Southern California's coastal climate. This zone occurs just
east of the coastal zone, and although inland, much of the zone is under
occasional influence of the Pacific Ocean, in some places as much as 85% of
the time. Using data collected by the National Weather Service, the average
temperature for January is 52.6°F., with an average minimum temperature of
39.5°F., but may drop as low as 30°F. The average July temperature is
legowmgt.doc
December 12, 1996 Page 1
71.1°F., with an average maximum temperature of 84.2°F., but may reach as
high as 100°F.
2. ANNUAL PRECIPITATION RATES:
Average historic precipitation recorded by the National Weather Service, San Diego,
measuring station as reported in "Climatography of the United States" is as follows:

Total average annual precipitation is 9.45". The amount of annual precipitation that is
actually useable varies, dependent upon such factors as the amount of rainfall occurring
in a single event and the depth of the plant's rootzone for storing the precipitation.
Generally, effective precipitation is less than 60 percent of annual precipitation.
For example, if an area received precipitation (rainfall) of 4" in the month of March
and the actual evapotranspiration rate for that same month is only 2.5", then there is a
1.5" (4"-2.5") excess of water needed by the plant. When you divide the 4" of rainfall
into the 2.5" actual evapotranspiration rate you will be able to determine the
percentage of useable precipitation. For this example the effective precipitation would
be 2.5-i-4 = 62.5% of actual precipitation.
Also, with heavy winter rains, some water will be lost to runoff because the soil
cannot absorb it fast enough. This too will lower the effective percentage of
precipitation.
3. ANTICIPATED EVAPOTRANSPIRATION RATE:
Evapotranspiration (ET) is the amount of water that evaporates from the soil and
transpires from the plants. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is a standard
measurement based on a large field of four - to seven - inch tall, cool season grass that
is well watered. The historical average (normal) ET 0 of California can be found in the
"Landscape Water Management Handbook" prepared for the Office of Water
Conservation, Department of Water Resources, State of California.

4. PROPOSED WATER SOURCE AND DEMANDS;
. a. Reclaimed Irrigation Water Source
Irrigation water for the LegoLand Outerpark Landscape and most of the
Lego Land Innerpark Landscape will be reclaimed water. The reclaimed water
shall be supplied from the proposed Carlsbad Municipal Water District's
(C.M.W.D.) off-site reclaimed water system. Irrigation water meters will be
required at various locations throughout the project as required to
accommodate anticipated irrigation water needs of the area landscaping.
Information pertaining to water meter installation requirements and procedures
shall be included as a part of the irrigation drawings.
b. Domestic Irrigation and Washdown Water Source
Irrigation water for-some specifically selected LegoLand Innerpark Landscape
areas, such as Miniland, will be domestic water. Water for washdown of
Innerpark guest and food court areas will be domestic water. The domestic
water shall be supplied from the proposed Carlsbad Municipal Water District's
(C.M.W.D.) off-site domestic water system. Irrigation water meters will be
required at various locations throughout the project as required to
accommodate anticipated irrigation water needs of the area landscaping.
Information pertaining to water meter installation requirements and procedures
shall be included as a part of the irrigation drawings.
legowmgtdoc
December 12, 1996 Page3
c. The irrigation system will be serviced from C.M.W.D.'s 375 pressure zone.
Elevations at project site vary from a low of 80 feet to a high of 185 feet.
Static water pressures available for irrigation will range from an estimated high
of 128 psi at the lower elevations, to an estimated low of 82 psi at the higher
elevations.
d. Watering Time and Peak Irrigation Demands
Based on historic evapotranspiration rate, the peak water requirement for
irrigated landscaped areas is anticipated to be approximately 1.0" to 1.25" of
water per week during the hot summer months. The irrigation system will be
designed to apply this weekly requirement in a six-day period, with a
maximum watering time of six hours per day due to the theme park operations.
This will allow irrigation cycles to be completed during the late night hours
when evaporation, site outdoor activities and blowing winds would be at a
minimum.
D. WATER REQUIREMENTS
1. GENERAL:
The numerous factors which influence the water requirements for landscaping can be
grouped into three (3) categories.
a. Environmental Conditions - soil characteristics, natural precipitation, sun
exposure, slope aspect, wind, etc.
b. Planting Design - selection of species, grouping and placement.
c. Irrigation Systems - types, precipitation rates, zones, scheduling, temporary
vs. permanent, etc.).
Environmental conditions are for the most part a given although some modification is
possible, primarily with soils. Planting design and irrigation system design are the two
areas where the greatest impact on water conservation can be made. Both plant
selection and irrigation design are based on the given environmental conditions for the
site along with the added objective to create aesthetic beauty.
2. LANDSCAPE ZONES:
Management and conservation of water used for irrigation of landscaped areas will be
realized through the division of all landscaped areas into distinct LANDSCAPE
ZONES. The purpose is to maximize the efficient use of irrigation water by allocating
more water to areas where it will have the greatest impact-i.e., in the immediate
vicinity of recreation areas, turf paseos and public streetscape areas~and less water to
areas more distant from high activity areas-i.e., graded slopes, etc.
lego\vmgt.doc
December 12, 1996 Page 4
The water requirement of each zone is determined to a large extent by the selection of
plant species used in each zone. Plants having similar water requirements will be
grouped together in the same zone-i.e., low water users in one zone, moderate water
users in another, etc. Each zone will be irrigated separately and with the most
appropriate type of system (low precipitation spray, standard spray, etc.). In this way,
the frequency and amount of water being applied through irrigation can be carefully
controlled so as to avoid needless over-watering that results when plants that have both
high and low water requirements are mixed together.
E. WATER CONSERVATION METHODS FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
1. GENERAL:
a. State-of-the-art, independent station controlled irrigation systems will be
utilized in all LegoLand landscaped areas. The proposed master computer
control system will be linked to field satellites, weather station and rain
override systems to ensure water is applied only when needed.
b. All irrigation systems will be designated to meet the requirements of the City
of Carlsbad Landscape Manual Policies and Requirements for landscape
irrigation.
c. Irrigation systems will include, but not be limited to the following:
1. Master central computer control system.
2. Automatic independent station control field programmers.
3. Electric remote control valves.
4. Weatherstation
5. r Rain sensors/over-ride systems.
6. - Backflow prevention units (per code requirements).
7. - Rotor, spray and bubbler sprinkler heads, as well as drip irrigation
systems.
8. PVC main and lateral lines (UV resistant where installed above
ground).
9. Gate valves, (shutoff valves).
10. Pressure reducing valves.
11. Low head drainage check valves.
2. WATER CONSERVING IRRIGATION DESIGN STRATEGIES:
legowrngt-doc
December 12, 1996 Page 5
a. Irrigation of the landscape will be divided into distinct zones. Irrigation zones
will be determined on the basis of types of plant material, climatic exposures,
soil type, and terrain. Specifically, irrigation zones will be designed according
to the following criteria:
(1) Plant materials will be separated into irrigation zones according to
whether they are turf, groundcover, shrubs, or drought tolerant
plantings.
(2) North and East exposures will be separated from' South and West
exposures.
(3) Areas with pronounced soil differences will be separated from one
another.
(4) In general, high points will be separated from low points (and drainage
swales) in landscape areas.
(5) Sloped areas will be separated from general landscape areas. (Slopes
are considered to be landforms with grades steeper than 3:1).
(6) Top, toe and center of slope will be considered separately.
(7) Equal contours along slopes will be grouped together, when possible.
b. The irrigation system will be designed to prevent overspray or discharge onto
non-landscape areas which are not under the control of Lego Land's Landscape
Maintenance Operations Department.
c. The irrigation system will be designed to meet the peak moisture demand of all
plant materials used within the design area. The irrigation cycle or cycles will
be completed within a given time period, during nighttime hours, when
evaporation, blowing winds and outdoor activities will be at a minimum.
d. As much as possible, irrigation water will be applied at a rate which does not
exceed the infiltration rate of the soil, and/or the system will be programmed
to prevent ponding and/or runoff.
e. - The irrigation system will be designed to minimize accidental damage and to
maximize pedestrian safety. In this way, water lost through broken sprinkler
heads and risers may be avoided.
f. Shrub sprinklers adjacent to roadways, pathways and sidewalks will be pop-up
type. Pop-up height will be 6" or 12" as may be required to avoid interference
from nearby plant material.
legowmgtdoc
December 12, 1996 Page 6
g. Due to slope conditions and unpredictable wind patterns, especially during
daytime hours during the plant establishment period, it will be necessary to
derate sprinkler spacings that are otherwise considered standard or normal in
the industry. Maximum spacing of sprinklers will be as follows:
(1) Short-range sprinklers with a spray diameter of 5 to 30 feet: spacing
will not exceed 50% of diameter.
(2) Intermediate-range sprinklers with a spray diameter of 31 to 80 feet:
spacing will not exceed 50% of diameter.
(3) Long-range sprinklers with a spray diameter of 81 to 120 feet: spacing
will not exceed 50% of diameter.
h. In the case of irrigation main line breaks, gate valves will be provided to allow
isolation and shutdown of various portions of the system independently of the
entire system.
i. Sprinklers controlled by any one electric control valve will have compatible
precipitation rates. The difference between high and low precipitation rates
within the same section will not exceed 20%.
j. Ami-drain valves will be utilized to prevent low head drainage and loss of
irrigation water after system has been shut off.
3. PROPOSED WATER CONSERVING IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT:
a. CENTRAL IRRIGATION COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM: The central
computer control system is the most advanced, versatile and adaptable system
for landscape and turf irrigation management.
The central irrigation computer control system sends and receives information,
monitors, controls and gives the option of manual or automatic field operations
with fail-safe back-up systems. The central computer instructs the field
satellites (the in-field automatic controllers) what to do via non-dedicated
phone lines. The field satellites in turn monitor field sensors such as soil
moisture sensors and rain shut off switches while controlling irrigation
systems.
The central computer enables a water manager to input ET values which will
be used to adjust irrigation watering schedules on a daily basis. This
information is then passed on to the field satellites. The field satellites report
back to the central computer what functions they have performed along with
information from sensors in the field about changing weather and equipment
conditions. Schedule and data can be exchanged daily. The computer control
legowmgtdoc
December 12, 1996 Page 7
system analyzes and isolates equipment failures at the central unit or in the
field. The actual operating status is then displayed on the monitoring screen.
b. RAIN DETECTION DEVICE: The rain detection device or rain switch adds
an additional dimension to water conservation in the landscape. The rain
switch catches rain and automatically shuts off or interrupts the watering cycle
after a predetermined amount of rain has fallen. The irrigation cycle will
automatically resume when the rainfall has evaporated from the rain detection
device.
c. WEATHER STATION: Weather information can be provided to the central
irrigation computer control.
The weather station provides information from the field necessary to carry out
accurate watering programs. Environmental variables affecting referenced
evapotranspiration (ETo) are precisely measured by the weather station's
different sensors. The central computer control calculates a daily ETo value
which is used to precisely and automatically adjust irrigation watering times.
The weather station calculates daily ET0 by monitoring air temperature, solar
radiation, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall.
The weather station communicates information directly to the central irrigation
computer control system. Proper utilization of this data translates into cost
effective, labor saving and water conserving irrigation.
4. IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT
Following landscape planting and installation of irrigation systems, landscape/irrigation
managers will initiate an on going program for monitoring water application, irrigation
scheduling, problem detection and remedy procedures.
Major elements of the post construction landscape/irrigation management plan are as
follows:
1. Measure and calculate the effective application rates for each representative
irrigation zone. -.
2. Determine percolation rates from soil tests.
3. Adjust irrigation application rates and run times as needed to eliminate run-off.
4. Develop evapotranspiration-based irrigation scheduling program.
5. Log actual irrigation water consumption and compare with projected irrigation
water consumption.
legowmgtdoc
December 12, 1996 Page 8
6. Analyze data, test and adjust systems as necessary for maximum irrigation
efficiency.
F. SUMMARY
The LegoLand landscape water conservation plan incorporates the latest in water conservation
technology and practices currently available to the landscape and irrigation industry. By
combining state-of-the-art computer technology and advanced water conserving irrigation
system designs, LegoLand will be able to meet the City of Carlsbad's demand to conserve
water and maximize efficiency in the utilization of human and energy resources through
implementation of a total landscape water management program.
The maintenance staff at LegoLand, in conjunction with irrigation and landscape consultants,
will insure a beautiful landscape environment consistent with the quality of the Community.
This effort will be environmentally sound and utilize strict water conservation practices.
The irrigation and landscape zones will be designed to maximize the efficient use of irrigation
water by allocating more water to those areas of high impact and less water to areas of low
impact.
The irrigation system throughout the project will utilize the latest in computer controlled
technology. Weather stations and rain sensors will further insure that the correct amount of
moisture is applied to the appropriate zones. Under this Water Conservation Plan, we feel
LegoLand will be able to meet the City of Carlsbad water conservation programs.

Security Planning Provisions:
LEGOLAND Carlsbad will use the latest in technology and well-trained staff in conjunction with
City authorities to provide for Guest safety and park security.
LEGOLAND Carlsbad will be built with a fiberoptic loop infrastructure for a maximum of for voice,
video and data monitoring capacity. These systems will be complemented by 24 hour security at
the Hidden Valley Road gate and parkwide patrols.
Currently, while the Operations team is being assembled, the design team is including the
infrastructure to accommodate this advanced technology and is creating a park which is well-
monitored by both police and employees, based on the experience gathered at the parks in
Denmark and England.
Security Systems Highlights:
By way of example, the following is a description of security systems for LEGOLAND Windsor.
Implementation of similar systems is planned for LEGOLAND Carlsbad. The monitoring system
is a highly flexible assemblage of software and hardware, with a single touch-screen monitor at
appropriate locations capable of displaying multiple images and audio for:
overview of various device locations
camera remote control
VCR control (real-time and time-lapse)
public address system announcement (single or multi-zone)
radio linking
phone linking
alarm display and follow-up protocols
messaging and follow-up
event log
system-status monitoring
The system is connected to police and fire reporting lines either directly or through a security
service. The system retains and displays call information.
The park will have redundancy in its monitoring functions, with full-time monitoring locations:
• Security (located at The Beginning cluster)
• Hidden Valley Road gate
• additional monitoring stations as needed
Active patrols:
In addition to this sophisticated electronic system, the park will be patrolled 24 hours a day. As
with any employer in a public-related business with many staff, LEGO will have ongoing training
programs, including one for the security personnel. They will be trained in patrolling procedures,
safety protocols, dealing with various situations, securing various areas, notification procedures,
reporting, etc. Staff will also be trained to politely and tactfully inquire of guests in various
situations to ascertain important information and prevent theft. The training curriculum will be
coordinated with the Carlsbad Police and Fire Departments in order to assure that a reasonable
and close interface exists between the park and the City with regard to safety and security.
Other Provisions:
Emergency lighting will be provided in the park by a system of emergency generators at about
four locations around the park (exact locations are currently being studied). In addition to
lighting, emergency power will be provided for any attractions which could strand guests should
the power fail. Security systems will also be provided with UPS units and emergency power in
the event of a failure. Various departments (not just security personnel) will also have prescribed
procedures such as food service and any cash-handling areas. All appropriate staff will be trained
to restore Parkwide Systems expeditiously following a power failure.
Items to be developed further:
Currently, the exact location of security lighting, motion detectors, CCTV cameras, fencing and
patrol routes is in formulation and will be completed as the Operations team is assembled. A
security consultant will also be retained for this effort.
A Disaster Plan will also be created for the park, in order to evacuate the park in an orderly
manner and to be prepared for various events that could befall the park. This plan will be
prepared by the Operations group in conjunction with Police and Fire Departments to assure as
smooth an interface as possible in the event of a disaster. The disaster/evacuation plan will
prescribe staff assignments and security system settings for assuring that guests flow to exits
and out of the park in an orderly safe manner, and that trained staff and equipment are located to
provide for assistance in the event of injury or disabled guests. There will also be a follow-up
procedure to assure that all buildings have been safely evacuated, and that they are then
secured. The plan will also seek to assure that procedures are in place for Police to take over as
guests leave the park in such an event.
4
LEGO is dedicated to operating as safe a park as possible for many good and obvious reasons.
We anticipate being able to present draft security plans before construction gets underway, and
to engage the City departments in further dialogue concerning features of the project in the near
future as the Design phase progresses.
