TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: LFMP 87-09 (B) ZONE 9 FINANCE PLAN -Request for approval of a
Finance Plan for Local Facilities Management Zone 9.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3683,
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the Finance Plan for Local Facilities Management Zone
9, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
A Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) for Zone 9 was originally adopted by the City
Council on July 11, 1989. The LFMP has been amended once (January 4, 1994) to reflect
land use and circulation changes to the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. Both the original
LFMP and the amendment contain conditions of approval requiring that a comprehensive
financing plan for specified public facilities be adopted prior to approval of the first final
map, grading permit, or building permit within the zone, whichever occurs first. The
present request is submitted in order to satisfy that condition.
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan (MP 175 [D]) specifies a mix of residential and travel
service commercial uses, with an unplanned area to be addressed at a later time. The
LFMP amendment which accompanied the new Master Plan analyzed the public facilities
requirements of the proposed development. This Finance Plan is intended to provide
funding mechanisms meeting City requirements for all of the needed facilities identified in
the LFMP.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1. Does the proposed Zone 9 Finance Plan comply with all requirements of the Growth
Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) and related
policies, stanclards, and guidelines?

The proposed Finance Plan is in conformance with the Growth Management Ordinance
(Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) and related policies, standards, and
guidelines. The Finance Plan provides acceptable financial guarantees for all required
public facilities, assuring that the facilities will be in place at time of need.
The complete Financing Plan is provided as Exhibit "A". The financing provisions for the
various facilities are outlined below:
Facility Financing Mechanism
City Administrative Facilities CFD No. 1 and PFF
Library CFD No. 1 and PFF
Wastewater Treatment Capacity Sewer Connection Fees
Parks CFD No. 1, PFF and PIL
Drainage Improvement agreement and payment of drainage area fees
Circulation Improvement agreement and PFF
Fire No financing mechanism needed
Open Space No financing mechanism needed
Schools Special condition
Sewer Improvement agreement
Water Improvement agreement
CFD No. 1 = Community Facilities District No. 1 of the City of Carlsbad
PFF = Public Facilities Fee
PIL = Park-in-lieu Fee
The facilities and their financing are described in more detail as follows:
City Administrative Facilities and Library. CFD No. 1 was formed by the City in 1991 to
finance a number of facilities of Citywide benefit. All undeveloped properties within Zone
9 are already participating in CFD No. 1. A combination of CFD No. 1 and payment of
PFF constitutes the required financial guarantee for these two facilities.
Wastewater Treatment Capacity. The Phase IV expansion of the Encina Water Pollution
Control Facility has been completed, guaranteeing adequate capacity to serve the City for
at least five years into the future. Payment of normal sewer connection fees by all
development within Zone 9 is the only financing mechanism required.

Parks. CPD No. 1 will finance improvements to Veterans Memorial Park. Funding for
Phase I improvements to Poinsettia Park are included in the City's adopted 1994-95 to
Buildout Capital Improvement Program. Funding for Zone 19 park is guaranteed by a letter
of credit from the Zone 19 developer. Therefore, the combination of CPD No. 1 taxes,
payment of normal PFF (for all development) and PIL (for a portion of the residential
project) satisfies the requirement for a financial guarantee for parks.
Circulation. CPD No. 1 will finance improvements to the Poinsettia/1-5 interchange.
Completion of the Avenida Encinas connection will be constructed by the developer
concurrent with the first phase of project development pursuant to an improvement
agreement with the City. Other circulation improvements will be funded by PFF.
Therefore, a combination of CPD No. 1, PFF, and improvement agreement will provide the
required financial guarantee for circulation facilities.
Open Space. No special financing mechanism is required for open space.
Schools. The City's recently adopted standard school condition which is included in this
Financing Plan will provide the required financial guarantee for school.
Drainage, Sewer and Water. The developer will be required to construct drainage, sewer,
and water facilities to serve proposed development pursuant to an improvement agreement
with the City, and/or to pay the required fees. This provides the required financial
guarantee for drainage, sewer, and water facilities.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Financing Plan is covered by a previously approved Negative Declaration for
Master Plan Amendment 175 (D) and Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment 87-09
(A) issued by the Planning Director on August 12, 1993.
