NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Design Review Board as follows:
A. That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Design Review Board
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of Staybridge Suites RP 99-11, based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
GENERAL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CONSISTENCY FINDINGS:
1. The Design Review Board finds that the project, as conditioned herein and with the findings
contained herein for setback and height variances, is in conformance with the City’s
General Plan, the Carlsbad Village Area Redevelopment Plan and Village Master Plan and
Design Manual, Ordinance No. 9313 (SP No. 30), and all pertinent provisions of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated June 26, 2000 including,
but not limited to the following:
a. The project is consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan in that it provides for a
tourist/traveler serving use normally associated with urban freeway interchanges
in an appropriate location within the Village. The use in turn provides an
additional customer base for local restaurants, specialty shops, and nearby
convenience services.
b. The project is consistent with the land use standards set forth in the Village
Master Plan in that it will provide a provisional use (hotel) in an appropriate
location within Land Use District 3 of the Village Redevelopment Area.
C. The proposed use was approved in Ordinance No. 9313 (SP No. 30) authorizing
freeway-oriented commercia1 facilities and the proposed 106-room hotel is
consistent with the Specific Plan as approved in that it provides for the same
number of rooms as set forth in SP No. 30 and under the Village Redevelopment
Master Plan and Design Manual hotels and motels are subject to identical design
criteria and development standards.
d. The project as designed is consistent with the development standards for Land
Use District 3, design guidelines, and other applicable regulations set forth in the
Village Master Plan and Design Manual, with the exception of the requested
variances.

e. The existing streets can accommodate the estimated ADTs and all required
public right-of-way has been or will be dedicated and has been or will be
improved to serve the development. The pedestrian spaces and circulation have
been designed in relationship to the land use and available parking. Pedestrian
circulation is provided through pedestrian-oriented building design, landscaping,
and hardscape. Public facilities have been or will be constructed to serve the
proposed project. The project has been conditioned to develop and implement a
program of “best management practices” for the elimination and reduction of
pollutants which enter into and/or are transported within storm drainage
facilities.
f. The proposed project will not have an adverse impact on any open space within
the surrounding area. The project is consistent with the Open Space
requirements for new development within the Village Redevelopment Area.
g. The proposed project has been conditioned to comply with the Uniform Building
and Fire Codes adopted by the City to ensure that the project meets appropriate
fire protection and other safety standards.
The Design Review Board finds as follows to allow for variances for front, side, and rear
yard setbacks that exceed the standard range:
a.
b.
C.
d.
That the application of certain provisions of this chapter will result in practical difficulties
or unnecessary hardships which would make development inconsistent with the general
purpose and intent of the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan, in that strict adherence
to the setback standards would impede vehicular access of emergency vehicles and
prevent the Fire Department from adequately servicing the site in the event of an
emergency. The increased setbacks allow emergency vehicles to enter the site from
either Grand Avenue or Laguna Drive and obtain access to the proposed structure at
all points along the perimeter of the building. This is consistent with the general
purpose and intent of the Village Redevelopment Master Plan which is to establish
the Village as safe place to work, live and visit.
That there are exceptional circumstances or conditions unique to the property or the
proposed development which do not generally apply to other properties or developments
which have the same standards, restrictions, and controls, in that the irregular shape of
the subject property coupled with it’s location adjacent to Interstate 5 and frontage
along the terminus of two public streets makes it difficult to adhere to the established
setback standards and provide proper on-site circulation, emergency access, and
required parking to service the use.
That the granting of a variance will not be injurious or materially detrimental to the public
welfare, other properties or improvements in the project area, in that the increased
setbacks above the maximum range will not have a detrimental impact on
neighboring properties, because the additional setback allows greater separation
between the proposed hotel use and neighboring residential uses, thus increasing the
livability of the area and reducing impacts to surrounding properties.
That the granting of a variance will not contradict the standards established in the Village
Master Plan and Design Manual, in that the standards established in the Village Master
Plan and Design Manual were intended to be somewhat flexible in order to encourage
diversity and variety of development and to take into consideration the unique lot
configurations found within the Village Redevelopment Area.

e. The project is in a location that transitions to residential uses and the increased
setbacks protect the livability of the residential development in the area. In addition,
since the subject property is bordered by the terminus of two streets and a freeway,
consistency with the front yard setbacks of adjacent properties is not a critical design
issue for the area.
The Design Review Board finds as follows to allow for an increase in maximum height
from 35’-0” to 40’-5”:
a.
b.
C.
d.
e.
That the application of certain provisions of this chapter will result in practical difficulties
or unnecessary hardships which would make development inconsistent with the general
purpose and intent of the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Plan, in that development of
the site as a 106-room hotel is governed by Ordinance No. 9313 (Specific Plan No.
30). Development of the approved use and associated parking on the subject
property requires the construction of a three-story structure. Additionally, the
Village Master Plan and Design Guidelines require a minimum 5:12 roof pitch.
Construction of a three-story structure within the %-foot height limit precludes the
inclusion of the required roof pitch. The steeper roof pitch is a dominant and
consistent architectural feature within the Village. Strict adherence to the 35-foot
height limit would therefore make the development inconsistent with the general
purpose and intent of the Carlsbad Village Area.
That there are exceptional circumstances or conditions unique to the property or the
proposed development which do not generally apply to other properties or developments
which have the same standards, restrictions, and controls, in that use of the property is
governed by the adoption of Ordinance No. 9313. Adoption of said Ordinance
occurred prior to the formation of the Village Redevelopment Area and prior to the
adoption of the Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Guidelines. A
variance is warranted in order for the approved use to be developed in a manner
consistent with the existing design guidelines for the area.
That the granting of a variance will not be injurious or materially detrimental to the public
welfare, other properties or improvements in the project area, in that the proposed
project will serve as a buffer between Interstate 5 and the residential uses to the west.
Therefore, the additional building height will contribute towards reducing existing
noise levels from the adjacent freeway and will not have a detrimental impact on
neighboring properties.
That the granting of a variance will not contradict the standards established in the Village
Master Plan and Design Manual, in that the standards established in the Village Master
Plan and Design Manual were intended to be somewhat flexible in order to encourage
diversity and variety of development and to take into consideration the unique
development constraints found within the Village Redevelopment Area. At 40’-5”,
the height of the proposed project is below the maximum height of 45 feet allowed in
Land Use 3 if a project is built over a parking structure. Granting the height
variance in conjunction with the inclusion of surface parking results in a lower
overall project height and better site design which are consistent with the standards
set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual.
The increased height is visually compatible with the Las Villas de Carlsbad
Retirement Center located immediately north of the subject property. The
retirement facility is three-stories, 40 feet high and encompasses three acres. The
proposed project would result in visual continuity along the west side of Interstate 5.

The increased height will not unduly impact nearby residential uses because the
proposed project provides a buffer between Interstate 5 and the residential uses
located west of the subject property.
The taller project will not adversely impact views in the area because the project
would serve as a visual buffer between Interstate 5 and the properties to the west.
The project will maintain a scale and character compatible with the Village design
guidelines, because the project is lower than the 45 foot maximum height allowed if
the structure were built over a parking structure.
The project provides for exceptional design quality through the use of various
building materials (Le. stone, wood, lap siding, and stucco), varying roof heights, and
the use of architectural treatments such as dormers, a columned entry feature and
divided-pane windows.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT FINDINGS:
4. The project is consistent with the City-wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1, and all City public facility policies and ordinances.
The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to
ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection and treatment; water;
drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries;
government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to
serve new development prior to or concurrent with need. Specifically,
a. The project has been conditioned to ensure that building permits will not be
issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service
is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service
remains available and the District Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of
the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they
apply to sewer service for this project.
b. All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as
conditions of approval.
C. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
NOLLANDOLAN FINDING:
5. The Design Review Board has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to
mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree
of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
GENERAL CONDITIONS:
Note: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to the issuance of
building permits.
