A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
P.C. AGENDA OF: March 18, 2009
Item No. G)
Application complete date: February 6, 2009
Project Planner: Van Lynch
Project Engineer: Frank Jimeno
SUBJECT: SDP 96-14(0}/CDP 96-16(0) -LEGOLAND LOST KINGDOM SLIDE -
Request for a determination that the project is within the scope of the previously
certified Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment Program EIR and that the
Program EIR adequately describes the activity for the purposes of CEQA; and a
request for approval for a Site Development Plan Amendment and Coastal
Development Permit Amendment for the LEGOLAND California Theme Park to
permit the construction of a new ride, located on the north side of Palomar Airport
Road east of Armada Drive and west of The Crossings Drive within Planning
Area 4 of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan and within the Mello II Segment of
the Local Coastal Program and Local Facilities Management Zone 13.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6545 and 6546
APPROVING SDP 96-14(D) and CDP 96-16(D) based on the findings and subject to the
conditions contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The applicant is requesting approval of a Site Development Plan Amendment and Coastal
Development Permit Amendment for the LEGOLAND California Theme Park to permit the
construction of a new ride to be built in "Expansion Area 3". The ride is a non-mechanical six-
lane slide and also includes two spiral tube slides. The slide is dry and riders use mats to slide
down, similar to a large undulating surface slide at the San Diego County fair. The theme of the
ride will emulate the "Lost Adventure" theme located adjacent to the east. The proposed ride
will be designed and developed consistent with the established LEGO colors, materials, and
textures in the existing park. The ride also includes an exterior queue line.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The initial phase of the LEGO LAND California Theme Park was completed in March of 1999.
Approximately 113 acres of the 128-acre site was developed during the original construction
including rides, attractions, food, retail, parking, landscaping, administration, and support uses.
In April of 2000 the SDP and CDP were amended to allow development of "Expansion Areas 1
and 3", increase the maximum building height to 45-feet from 35-feet, increase the height
protrusion limit to 55-feet from 45-feet, and to replace the Breath Taker Ride with the Batflyer
Ride.

This proposal is to amend the LEGOLAND Site Development Plan and Coastal Development
Permit to add the slide attraction located within "Expansion Area 3." The ride consists of a dry
slide attraction. The slide includes 6 lanes and is 15 feet wide. The height of the slide platform
is 15 feet above grade and the overall height of the architectural elements is 30 feet. The tube
slide is accessed from the same platform as the slide. The two spiral tube slides are intertwined
and exit adjacent to the other slide exit. The overall structure is clad with materials of wood and
"tuff foam" to replicate the "Lost Adventure" theme. The queue line includes interactive items
for guests and themed props. Stairs provide ac'cess to the slide platform and tube slides. Other
improvements include walkways and landscaping.
The ride attraction is proposed in the location of the Aqua Drag, which was previously approved
with SDP 96-14(A) on April 19, 2000. The Aqua Drag was subsequently "traded" for a different
ride in a different location and the site was not developed.
The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan authorizes the Planning Commission to approve project
amendments unless the amendment is of a controversial nature. The proposed project is not
controversial in nature and is consistent with the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore staff
is recommending that the Planning Commission take final action on the project. The Planning
Commission and City Council have approved a Specific Plan Amendment which would allow
for an administrative approval process for such minor inner park improvements. The Specific
Plan Amendment is on file with the California Coastal Commission and has yet to be approved.
Once approved, this process will be administrative.
IV. ANALYSIS
A. Travel/Recreation Commercial (T-R) General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. Commercial-Tourist-Qualified Development Overlay Zone (C-T-Q) Carlsbad
Municipal Code, Chapter 21.06 and Chapter 21.29;
C. Site Development Plan findings required by the Qualified Development Overlay
Zone -Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 21.06, Section 21.06.020;
D. Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan (SP 207(D));
E. Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan-Palomar Airport;
F. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and the Coastal Resource
Protection Overlay Zone -Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 21.203; and
G. Growth Management Ordinance (Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 13).
A. & B. General Plan and Zoning
The existing General Plan and Zoning designations for the site were adopted concurrently with
the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan to achieve consistency. The Travel/Recreation Commercial
(T-R) General Plan Land Use designation allows for the proposed recreational use. The
underlying Zoning for the site is Commercial -Tourist, Qualified Development Overlay Zone
(C-T-Q) and allows amusement park uses through a CUP. The Q-Overlay designation on the
Zoning map requires the approval of a Site Development Plan. The Carlsbad Ranch Specific
Plan, which functions as an overlay zone, modifies the permitted uses allowed in the C-T Zone
for this site and allows this theme park use with the approval of a Site Development Plan.

C. Site Development Plan findings required by the Q-Overlay Zone
The Qualified Development Overlay Zone (Q-Overlay), which is part of the zoning designation for
the property, requires that a Site Development Plan be approved for the proposed development prior
to the issuance of any building permits. Four findings are required for the Q-Overlay Zone. The
required findings with justification for each are contained in the Planning Commission Resolution
for the project. The required findings and justification for approving a Site Development Plan
are summarized below:
I. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental
settings; is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan; will
not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
the proposed use is to be located; and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings
or traffic circulation.
The requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental setting as the
project design complies with the requirements of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan as
demonstrated in Section "D" of this report. Development located in the interior to the park will
not encroach into required building and landscape setbacks established for the perimeter of the site.
The required setbacks provide an appropriate buffer between the LEGOLAND Park and existing
and future development.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use.
The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use as all applicable code requirements
have been met. All required parking has been constructed and the infrastructure needs were
planned for with the initial park construction.
3. That all yards, setback, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to
adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained.
All features necessary to adjust the use to existing and permitted future uses will be provided.
Screen walls, berming and landscaping have been constructed to screen service areas for the
park. The project design includes landscaping in the areas of proposed development to screen
views from within the visitor areas of the Inner Park and to provide shade. The boundaries of the
Inner Park are approximately 1,400 feet from the right-of-way of Palomar Airport Road. The fence
line for the Inner Park is 200 feet from the western property line. The landscape setback from the
northern property line is a minimum of 45 feet and 30 feet from the eastern property line. No
change to current night lighting is proposed except for new lighting for the attraction. Inner Park
lighting is predominantly of a pedestrian scale.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all
traffic generated by the proposed use.
Adequate vehicle circulation has been provided to accommodate vehicle, truck, recreational
vehicle and bus turning movements on-site with the construction of existing improvements. A

service road was constructed around the perimeter of the Inner Park for operational needs and
emergency vehicle access. Several access points were provided to the service road for
emergency vehicles. Pedestrian connections were also constructed to the overall pedestrian
circulation system of the Carlsbad Ranch.
The planned street system is adequate to handle all traffic generated by the use. The proposed
development of the inner park was included in the original circulation analysis prepared for
Program EIR 94-01 for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. The circulation analysis considered the
build-out of the park and the corresponding attendance levels with park build-out.
D. Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan
The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan establishes the permitted uses for the site as well as the
development standards and design guidelines. The project complies with the requirements of the
specific plan. The permitted uses for the project site include an entrance facility; toll "plaza";
retail shops; restaurants, service buildings associated with park activities; business and
administration offices related to park activities; indoor and outdoor facilities related to
entertainment and education, but not including high speed thrill rides (those rides typically
oriented towards the teenage and young adult audience) for children; water features; lakes;
landscape areas; guest services and facilities; parking; and other related uses. The slide
attraction proposed for the site is within the list of permitted uses and is not being considered a
high speed thrill ride.
The development standards of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan have been complied with. The
required park perimeter landscape, building, and parking area setbacks have been complied with.
All parking required for build-out of LEGOLAND was improved with the initial construction
including the overflow parking lot. Perimeter fencing and walls also exist for the entire park.
E. Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan -Palomar Airport
The project site is located approximately one mile westerly of the airport and is within the
Airport Influence Area for McClellan-Palomar Airport. 'The Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan, McClellan-Palomar Airport (ALUCP) identifies that exterior noise levels up to 68 CNEL
would occur at the site. Exterior noise at this level is determined to be acceptable by the ALUCP
for the proposed use. A Notice Concerning Aircraft Environmental Impacts was previously
required as a condition of the original approval and was recorded on August 14, 1997.
F. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program and the Coastal Resource Protection
Overlay Zone
As designed, the proposed project and the initial construction are consistent with the relevant
policies of the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program. The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan
serves as partial implementation for the Mello II Segment for the project site, and the Coastal
Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Zoning Ordinance Section 21.203). The proposal is consistent
with the requirements contained within both of these documents. The project site was previously
graded and the majority of the total site area is presently developed. No steep slopes or native
vegetation exist on the areas of the site currently proposed for development. The project will
not have drainage impacts on coastal resources as the project includes a detention basin within

the 150' landscape setback from Palomar Airport Road. National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System facilities to separate oil and other contaminants from site runoff are in place.
G. Growth Management Ordinance (LFMP -Zone 13)
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 13. The proposed
Specific Plan Amendment for development of an inner park attraction does not impact public
facilities.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Development of the entire LEGOLAND project site was analyzed in the Program Environmental
Impact Report (EIR 94-01) certified for the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan Amendment and
related applications on January 9, 1996, by the City Council. A Statement of Overriding
Considerations was adopted for cumulative impacts to air quality, agriculture, and traffic which
could not be fully mitigated. The cumulative impacts were regional in nature and occured in
areas outside the jurisdiction of the City. All applicable mitigation measures from the EIR were
implemented with the initial construction on the LEGOLAND site. A Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared and adopted for inner park attraction amendments on April 19, 2000.
The proposed activities would have no effects beyond those analyzed in the program EIR and
subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration, as they are a part of the program analyzed earlier.
This project is within the scope of EIR 94-01 and no further CEQA compliance is required. EIR
94-01 and the respective initial studies for each application are available at the Planning
Department.

3.
That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental
settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives -of the General Plan, will
not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or
traffic circulation, in that the project design complies with the requirements of the
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. Development of the proposed expansion areas will
not encroach into the required building and landscape setbacks for the perimeter of
the site. The required building and landscape setbacks provide an appropriate
buffer between the LEGOLAND Park and existing, as well as future, development.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that all applicable code requirements have been met. Total building coverage on the
site is only 3.5 percent and total landscape coverage is 49 percent of the total site
area. All required parking has been constructed and the infrastructure needs of the
expansion areas were planned for the with the initial park construction.
That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained, in that screen walls, berming and landscaping have been
constructed to screen service areas for the park. The project design includes
additional henning and landscaping in the areas proposed for development adjacent
to the service road to screen views from within the visitor areas of the Inner Park to
necessary park facilities and infrastructure not intended to be viewed by guests.
Adequate vehicle and bus turning movements were included on-site with the
construction of initial improvements. A service road was constructed around the

system of the Carlsbad Ranch.
That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequat~ to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed expansion areas were included in
the original circulation analysis prepared for program EIR 94-01 for the Carlsbad
Ranch Specific Plan. The circulation analysis considered the buildout of the park
and the corresponding attendance levels with park buildout.
5. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned. herein, is in
conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan, and the Carlsbad Ranch
Specific Plan based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated January 18, 2006.

collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
A growth management park fee of 40 cents per square foot of non-residential
development will be collected at the time of building permit issuance. This fee will
be used to construct recreational facilities to offset the demand created by employees
within Zone 13.
The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport, dated April 1994, in that a Notice Concerning Aircraft
Environmental Impacts was previously required as a condition of approval and was

That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal
Program and all applicable policies in that the project is in compliance with the
relevant policies of the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program, the
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan which serves as partial implementation for the Mello
II Segment for the project site, and the Coastal Resources Protection Overlay Zone,
as the agricultural conversion policy has been satisfied, the only area of sensitive
vegetation on the property has been preserved and is subject to a Coastal Deed
Restriction, and all necessary drainage detention facilities are in place.
The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that pedestrian walkway connections to the Carlsbad Ranch
Trail System have already been constructed with the initial construction of the park
and no existing public accessways are affected by development of the expansion
areas.
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.03 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the City's
Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban
Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management
Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban run off, pollutants and soil erosion. No steep
slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the site is not located in
an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
