Green Valley, Zone 23
4. At the time of establishment of the East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt
Properties Local Coastal Program segment Batiquitos Lagoon, the north shore
and the subject property were part of one ownership. The establishment of the
LCP segment was due to annexation of the property from incorporated territory
to the City of Carlsbad, and the processing of a Master Plan by the property
owner. When the area was annexed, the city established a mix of General Plan
land uses for the Green Valley site, which were, Commercial, Office and
Residential. At the time, sufficient planning studies to specifically configure land
uses were not available, and as a result, a "combination" designation was
established by the city. A master plan was approved by the city for the area of
the property north of Batiquitos Lagoon known as Pacific Rim. The plan did not
include the Green Valley area. On certification of the LCP for the area, the
Commission approved land use and implementation for the Pacific Rim area,
and, in the absence of a master plan to serve as implementing ordinances, only
land use for Green Valley. LCP land use for Green Valley was established by the
existing General Plan, i.e., combined Commercial, Office, and Residential.
The Green Valley property lies on the eastern edge of the coastal zone boundary
(El Camino Real, on the eastern property line). 'There is no urban land use
planned for the area to the north of the Green Valley site, other than La Costa
Avenue. The area north of La Costa Ave. is Batiquitos Lagoon (O.S.). The
western property boundary falls within steeply sloping, eastern facing bluffs.
This property boundary is also a jurisdictional boundary between the City of
Encinitas and Carlsbad. Because of environmental features this western
boundary area is designated open space. The southern boundary of the property
also abuts another jurisdiction, the County of San Diego. This area is part of the
Ecke Ranch, and is within the City of Encinitas sphere of influence. The City of
Encinitas is currently considering annexation, and the property owners are
preparing a mixed use master plan for the area.
Because the LCP amendment request is merely refining previously established
land use categories initially set by the certified LCP, there will be no substantive
effect on Carlsbad LCP provisions, or those of surrounding jurisdictions.
