TO INTERESTED PARTIES:
Please be advised that the City of Carlsbad is considering
amending segments of its Local Coastal Program (LCP) as
summarized below. This notice hereby opens a six-week review
period after which the City Council will consider all
comments and act on the proposed amendments. The City
Council LCP Amendment hearing is expected to take place in
early December, 1987 and will be duly noticed.
Copies of the proposed LCP Amendments are available for

LCP AMENDMENT SUMMARY
(Please refer to the attached Map for the general locations
of the amendments)
A. Mello I Segment - Hunt - modify allowable larid uses to
bring them into conformance with the City's General Plan
land uses.
B. East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties - add a new LCP
segment for Jand that was formerly part of the County's
San Dieguito LCP but that was annexed to Carlsbad in
1985. The new segment requires preservation of
Batiquitos Lagoon as a wildlife habitat. It also
requires preservation of steep slopes and the Encinitas
Creek riparian corridor. Additionally, the new segment
permits development on the Lagoon's north shore
consistent with an approved Master Plan. Finally, Green
Valley is designated for agricultural* uses until such
time as a master plan for the area is approved.
C. Mello II Segment - Savage and Lyman properties - amend
LCP map designation for Lyman property from RM-
Residential Medium Density (4-8 du/ac) to RLM-
Residential Medium Density (0-4 du/ac).In addition,
the text of Mello II will be amended to be consistent
with the City's General Plan and Growth Management
Ordinance for the parcels known as the Savage property.
Currently the LCP map designates the property as RM (0-
4 du/ac) but allows development to 12 du/ac. This
violates the City Growth Management Ordinance which
would allow 4 to 8 du/ac with a growth control cap of 6
du/ac unless special findings can be made. Finally,
this amendment places an open space designation over
sensitive coastal resources.
D. Mello II Segment - Seapointe - This is an amendment to
change the LCP land use designations on parcels
generally bounded on the north by Palomar Airport Road,
on the south by Ponto Drive, on the west by Carlsbad
Boulevard, and on the east by 1-5. The proposed changes
would bring the LCP into conformance with the land use
designations of the Carlsbad General Plan.
E. Mello II Segment - Laurel Tree - the proposed action is
a General Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Plan
Amendment from RLM (0-4 du/ac) to 0 (Professional and
Related) for a 9.2 acre site located south of Palomar
Airport Road and along the future southerly College
Boulevard extension.
F. Mello II Segment - Carltas/Ecke Property - the proposed
LCP amendment would do the following on approximately
482 acres owned by Carltas/Ecke located east of 1-5
between Palomar Airport Road and Cannon Road extension:
1) Modify the boundaries of the developable and
agricultural lands;
2) Increase the developable acreage from 90 to 137
acres;
3) Allow a specific plan for the development of a
portion of the 137 acres to develop the expansion
of Car Country;
4) Require a master plan for the development of the
remainder. The master plan and/or specific plan
must include provisions for the preservation of
approximately 345 acres of land for agriculture.
Mello II and Agua Hedionda Segments - Chinquapin-
General Plan Amendment, Local Coastal Plan Amendment and
Zone Change affecting 15 parcels with a combined acreage
of 7.85 acres surrounded by Chinquapin Avenue, Adams
Street and Harrison Street in Carlsbad. The proposed
modifications will change all but the parcels fronting
on Adams Street to RM, 4-8 du/ac with RD-M-Q zoning.
Lots fronting on Adams Street will retain their R-l-7500
zoning and have a General Plan and Local Coastal Plan
designation of RLM, 0-4 du/ac.
Please note that items A, B, C, D, and G have already had at
least one six-week public review.
If you have any questions please contact the Planning
Department at (619) 438-1161. Written comments should be
sent to the Planning Department at 2075 Las Palmas Drive,
Carlsbad, CA 92009-4859.

SOMMAKY
Proposed Local Coastal Plan Amendments - Mello I and East
Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties.
MKLLO X
This amendment proposes to modify the ""ancho La Costa*
properties section of the document (now a portion of the Pacific
Rim Site - Hunt Properties) to allow mixed residential and
commercial uses with residential intensity consistent with the
Carlsbad General Plan.
The land use policy section of the existing Mello I segment
requires that residential densities for Rancho La Costa (Hunt)
be computed on the basis of slope, with the steeper the slope
the less the allowable density. These density provisions would
allow approximately 1100 units on that portion of the Hunt
Property that is regulated by the Mello I segment. In addition,
Mello I only provides for residential development (i.e., there
is not any land designated for commercial or other uses).
The City is presently processing the Pacific Rim Master Plan
(Hunt), a large portion of which is regulated by the Mello I
Local Coastal Plan. The Master Plan as currently proposed,
would develop a mix of commercial and residential uses.
Moreover, the Master Plan is proposing a residential intensity
consistent with the City's General Plan (approximately 3000
units for the Mello I area). Since the Master Plan does not
conform to the Mello I Local Coastal Plan, it could not be
approved v/ithout either extensive revisions or an amendment to
the land use policies of Mello I.
The original land use policies of Mello I were based on allowing
a very low density residential development that would be
compatible with surrounding "permanently" preserved agriculture.
However, the City's 1985 Local Coastal 'Ian amendments
eliminated permanent agriculture and provided mitigation options
for the complete conversion of agricultural lands. Furthermore,
all mitigation options now allow development consistent with the
intensity and use provided by the City's General Plan. If the
surrounding agricultural lands (in Mello II) as well as those
on the Hunt property are allowed to develop at the City's
General Plan intensity, then it is appropriate from a land use
compatibility standpoint to allow the remaining portion of the
Mello I property to develop at the General Plan intensity.
The proposed Mello I amendment only deals with land use
intensity. The other LCP regulations such as those that
prohibit the grading of steep slopes or the protection of
environmentally sensitive habitats will not be modified.
Furthermore, the ultimate land use intensity will be regulated
by the Master Plan which is .subject to both City and Coastal
Commission approval.
East Batiquitoa Lagoon/Hunt Properties LCP Segment
This amendment actually provides a new Local Coastal Plan
•segment" over an area not previously within the Carlsbad Local
Coastal Plan jurisdiction. The area covered by this Local
Coastal Plan amendment was annexed to the City in February 1985.
This includes the portion of the Pacific Rim site (north shore
of Batiquitos Lagoon), Green Valley, and Batiquitos Lagoon east
of 1-5 .
The proposed Local Coastal Plan segment is the final remaining
segment necessary to complete citywide Local Coastal Plan
coverage. The segment provides for the restoration of
Batiquitos Lagoon consistent with a Batiquitos Lagoon
Enhancement Plan that will be subject to City Council approval.
It also provides for the development of the lagoon's north shore
based on a Master Plan approved by the City Council. In
addition, it provides for the improvement of La Costa Avenue
consistent with the City's Circulation Element (as modified due
to environmental constraints). Finally, the segment would
preserve the riparian corridor in Green Valley and allow
development there consistent with the provisions of the City's
Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (i.e., conversion to urban uses
only through proper mitigation).

CARLSBAD MELLO I LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT
PACIFIC RIM MASTER PLAN AREA (Previously Rancho La Costa)
INTENT
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to update the
existing Local Coastal Program (land use plan) to better reflect
land use policies of the Carlsbad General Plan. The amendment is
designed to permit land use specifically designated by a Master
Plan which is being prepared with strict adherence to the
residential land use requirements of the Carlsbad General Plan
and the Planned Community Zone. All coastal policies will be
implemented by the Master Plan.
On October 24, 1985, the California Coastal Commission
certified a request by the City to amend the Mello I and Mello II
area LCP's. Part of the amendment provided for conversion of
land identified previously for "permanent" agricultural land use.
The Carlsbad plan provides a number of methods to mitigate the
impact of conversion of non-prime agricultural lands, but created
a need for identification of land uses other than agricultural
and associated low-density rural surrounding uses within the
Pacific Rim site (referred to in the Mello T LCP as Rancho La
Costa properties). The proposed amendment reflects the
residential density established by the City of Carlsbad General
Plan.
The existing Mello I Land Use Plan requires planning for the
Pacific Rim site through the comprehensive master plan approach.
This planning effort has been undertaken by the City and property
owner. Coastal Act and LCP resource protection policies will be
implemented through the master plan process. By means of the
Master Plan, all coastal onsite resources will be protected
consistent with the original LCP. This amendment will also allow
residential development in a manner which is consistent with
balancing resource protection and development potential as
reflected by Carlsbad General Plan residential land use density
requirements. The amendment will also allow General Plan
Amendments to accommodated the commercial aspects of the proposed
Pacific Rim Resort.

ATTACHMENT 17
" EAST BATIQUITOS LAGOON/HUNT PROPERTIES
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM (LCP)
Land Use Plan
This Local Coastal Program creates a new segment of the
Carlsbad Local Coastal Program by addressing the Properties
within the City of Carlsbad's coastal zone - outside the
Hello I and Mello II areas. The subject geographical area is
east of Interstate 5 and generally includes the north shore
of the Batiquitos Lagoon, Batiquitos Lagoon, and Green
Valley. The area was, prior to annexation into the City of
Carlsbad in 1984, part of the San Dieguito LCP.
A. Land Use Categories
Sub-areas (See Map A.)
1. North Shore Batiquitos Lagoon (outside the wetland
boundary).
All non-agricultural land use and development is
subject to the provisions of the Pacific Rim Master
Plan as adopted by Carlsbad City Council Ordinance
No. and as approved or modified by the
California Coastal Commission. No development
inconsistent with the Master Plan shall be
permitted. To the extent that there are
inconsistencies between the Master Plan and this
LCP the most restrictive requirements shall
prevail.
It is understood that sub-area no. 1 is part of a
larger holding on the north shore owned by Hunt
Properties or its successors in interest. These
other contiguous properties are included in the
Mello I and Mello II segments of the Carlsbad LCP.
All contiguous north shore properties including the
lagoon which are owned by Hunt Properties or its
successors shall be the subject of a single master
plan.
a. Land Uses Permitted Pursuant to a Master Plan
Uses permitted by the Master Plan shall be
consistent with those allowed by the Carlsbad
General Plan. In general, the Master Plan and
Carlsbad General Plan allow for a combination
of residential, commercial, and open space
uses. Specifically, the uses shall be as
follows:
1) Residential - the Mesa (Planning Area 30)
shall be designated Residential Medium
Page 2
Density (RM 4-8 du/ac) but constraints to
development permit a maximum of 135 du.
All other residential areas subject to
this LCP segment are designated
Residential Low-Medium density (RLM 0-4
du/ac).
2) Commercial - Portions of Planning Areas
10 and 11 that are subject to this plan
are designated Recreation Commercial
(RC) . In addition to the uses permitted
under this designation, other uses may
include restaurants.
3) Open Space - Portions of Planning Areas
1A and IB are designated Open Space (OS).
In addition to uses permitted under this
designation, other uses may include
public and/or private golf course plus
accessory uses such as clubhouse
facilities. Uses in this open space area
shall be designed so that there will be
no significant adverse impacts on
environmentally sensitive habitats. Also
designated for open space is the lagoon
wetland and a buffer (transition habitat)
(Planning Areas 31A and 3IB) . The only
uses allowed within the wetland shall be
consistent with Section 30233 (Public
Resources Code - See discussion in Policy
C-l below). The only uses allowed
within the wetland buffer is lateral
public access trail system consistent
with the Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement
Plan prepared by the California Coastal
Conservancy. The trail shall be designed
so as to limit access to sensitive
wetlands areas.
2. Batiquitos Lagoon
The lagoon wetland area as determined by California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is designated Open
Space (OS) with a Special Treatment Area Overlay.
The general boundaries are shown on Exhibit .
The precise wetland boundaries as determined by the
above agencies are depicted on a map on file in the
Carlsbad Planning Department.
3. Green Valley (Approximately 280 acres)
Page 3
The area south of La Costa Avenue and west of El
Camino Real is designated for a combination of uses
as follows:
a. Riparian Corridor of Encinitas Creek
(approximately 40 acres) designated Open Space
(OS) with a Special Treatment Overlay.
1) Steep Slopes - Slopes 40% or greater are
designated Open Space (OS) and
constrained from development. Slopes 25%
to 40% may also be constrained from
development. (See Grading Section.)
b. Upland (approximately 240 acres) is designated
for a combination of Residential (Medium High
Density - RMH - 9-15 du/ac), Commercial (C) ,
and Office (O) uses. Development of the
entire 280 acres of Green Valley shall be
pursuant to a Master Plan which is consistent
with the uses allowed by the Carlsbad General
Plan.
B. Agriculture/Planned Development
Prior to the approval (by Carlsbad and the Coastal
Commission or its successor) of a master plan for either
Sub-area No. 1 (northshore) or Sub-area No. 3 (Green
Valley) the uses permitted on either sub-area shall be
consistent with those allowed by the Mello II LCP
Segment Policy 2-1C (Permitted Uses on Agricultural
Lands). Conversion of these non-prime agricultural
lands to urban uses pursuant to the approved master
plan(s) shall be consistent with the Coastal Act Section
30171.5 (Public Resources Code) which requires a
mitigation fee.
Development pursuant to the approved master plan(s)
shall be consistent with the provisions of the Carlsbad
Planned Community Zone with the additional requirement
that all development as defined by the Coastal Act shall
require approval of a Coastal Development Permit.
C. Environmentally Sensitive Habitats
The environmentally sensitive habitats (wetlands,
riparian areas, and areas greater than 25% slope) shall
be preserved as open space with the following additional
requirements:
1. Batiquitos Lagoon Special Treatment Overlay -
The wetlands as defined and determined by CDFG and
Page 4
FWS shall be constrained from development.
Pursuant to Section 30233(C) (Public Resources
Code) any alteration of the wetlands shall be
limited to minor incidental public facilities,
restorative measures, and nature studies.
Furthermore, any alteration of the wetlands must be
approved by the City of Carlsbad and the Coastal
Commission. The latter because it will retain
Coastal Development Permit jurisdiction. In
addition, any wetland alteration will require
federal approval through an Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) permit.
2. Wetlands Buffer - The lagoon Special Treatment
Overlay shall include a buffer area outside the
wetlands boundary as mapped by CDFG and FWS. The
buffer shall be of sufficient width (minimum 100
feet unless approved by the Coastal Commission or
its successor as part of a Coastal Development
Permit) so as to provide a transition habitat as
well as provide a protective area to reduce
possible disruptive impacts to the lagoon's
wildlife and habitats. No development shall occur
within the wetlands buffer except for the lateral
public access trail described in Policy A1C above.
3. Green Valley Riparian Corridor -
The riparian corridor (approximately 40 acres)
shall be constrained from all development. Any
alteration of the riparian corridor shall be
limited to the following and shall require Carlsbad
approval, a Coastal Development Permit, Stream
Alteration Agreement, and COE permit:
a. Access - A maximum of two (2) crossings shall
be permitted to provide access to the
developable portions of Green Valley. The
access crossings shall be designed to minimize
adverse impacts to the habitat value of the
riparian corridor.
b. Flood and sediment control projects - shall be
allowed provided there are no less
environmentally damaging feasible alternatives
and/or public health, safety, and welfare or
protection of the lagoon is found to be a
mutually exclusive higher priority.
4. Steep Slopes - Slopes 40% or greater shall be
constrained from development. Slopes 25% to 40%
may be constrained from development. (See Grading
and Erosion Control below.)
Page 5
The above environmentally sensitive areas shall be
protected from any significant disruptive impacts
through fee dedication of the wetlands and recordation
of open space easements over the lagoon buffer, riparian
corridor, and steep slopes.
D. Grading and Erosion Control
1. Batiquitos Lagoon is the primary coastal resource
within the subject area and warrants stringent
controls on upstream development activities.
Downstream impacts of possible erosion and
sedimentation, due to development must be limited
to insignificant levels.
Many slope areas on the property contain sensitive
vegetation and support a variety of wildlife
species. Slope areas also pose possible geologic
hazards and require close development review.
2. Any development proposal that affects slopes 25%
inclination or greater, shall be required to
prepare a slope map and analysis for the affected
slopes. The slope mapping and analysis shall be
prepared during the CEQA environmental review on a
project-by-project basis and shall be required as a
condition of a coastal development permit.
3. Under the Master Plan requirements, any development
shall conform to the following additional
standards:
a. For those slopes mapped as possessing
endangered plant/animal species and/or coastal
sage scrub and chaparral plant communities,
the following shall apply:
1) Slopes of 25% grade and over shall be
preserved in their natural state, unless
the application of this policy would
preclude any reasonable use of the
property, in which case an encroachment
not to exceed 10% of the steep slope area
over 25% grade may be permitted. For
existing legal parcels, with 25% grade,
encroachment shall be permitted, however,
any such encroachment shall be limited so
that at no time is more than 20% of the
entire parcel (including areas under 25%
slope) permitted to be disturbed from its
natural state. This policy shall not
Page 6
apply to the construction of roads of the
City's Circulation Element or the
development of utility systems. Uses of
slopes over 25% may be made in order to
provide access to flatter areas if there
is no less environmentally damaging
alternative available.
2) No further subdivisions of land or
utilization of Planned Unit Developments
shall occur on lots that have their total
area in excess of 25% slope unless a
Planned Unit Development is proposed
which limits grading and development to
not more than 10% of the total site area.
3) Slopes and areas remaining undisturbed as
a result of the hillside review process,
shall be placed in a permanent open space
easement as a condition of development
approval. The purpose of the open space
easement shall be to reduce the potential
for localized erosion and slide hazards,
to prohibit the removal of native
vegetation except for creating firebreaks
and/or planting fire retardant vegetation
and to protect visual resources of
importance to the entire community.
b. For all other 25% and over slope areas, the
City Council may allow exceptions to the above
grading provisions provided the following
mandatory findings to allow exceptions are
made:
1) A soils investigation conducted by a
licensed soils engineer has determined
the subject slope area to be stable and
grading and development impacts
mitigable for at least 75 years, or life
of structure.
2) Grading of the slope is essential to the
development intent and design.
3) Slope disturbance will not result in
substantial damage or alteration to major
wildlife habitat or native vegetation
areas.
4) If the area proposed to be disturbed is
predominated by steep slopes and is in
Page 7
excess of 10 acres, no more than one
third of the total steep slope area shall
be subject to major grade changes.
5) If the area proposed to be disturbed is
predominated by steep slopes and is less
than 10 acres, complete grading may be
allowed only if no interruption of
significant wildlife corridors occurs.
6) Because north-facing slopes are generally
more prone to stability problems and in
many cases contain more extensive natural
vegetation, no grading or removal of
vegetation from these areas will be
permitted unless all environmental
impacts have been mitigated. Overriding
circumstances are not considered adequate
mitigation.
c. Drainage and runoff shall be controlled so as
not to exceed at any time the rate associated
with property in its present state, and
appropriate measures shall be taken on and/or
offsite to prevent siltation of lagoons and
other environmentally sensitive areas.
d. The appropriate erosion control measures shall
be installed prior to onsite grading.
e. All undeveloped slopes shall be placed in open
space easements as a condition of development.
f. A site specific technical report shall be
required addressing the cumulative effects of
developing each sub-watershed and recommending
measures to mitigate both increased runoff and
sedimentation. It shall be reviewed and
prepared according to the Model Erosion
Control Ordinance contained in the Master
Drainage Plan, with the additions and changes
adopted herein.
g. Mitigation measures tailored to project
impacts and consistent with the control of
cumulative development shall be implemented
prior to development in accordance with the
following additional criteria:
1) Submittal of a runoff control plan
designated by a licensed engineer
qualified in hydrology and hydraulics,
Page 8
which would assure no increase in peak
runoff rate from the developed site over
the greatest discharge expected from the
existing undeveloped site as a result of
a 10 year frequency storm. Runoff
control shall be accomplished by a
variety of measures, including, but not
limited to, onsite catchment basins,
detention basins, siltation traps, and
energy dissipators and shall not be
concentrated in one area or a few
locations.
2) Detailed maintenance arrangements and
various alternatives for providing the
ongoing repair and maintenance of any
approved drainage and erosion control
facilities.
3) All permanent runoff and erosion control
devices shall be developed and installed
prior to or concurrent with any onsite
grading activities.
4) All grading activities shall be
prohibited within the period from October
1st to March 31st of each year.
5) All areas disturbed by grading, but not
completed during the construction period,
including graded pads, shall be planted
and stabilized prior to November 1st with
temporary or permanent (in the case of
finished slopes) erosion control measures
and native vegetation. The use of
temporary erosion control measures, such
as berms, interceptor ditches,
sandbagging, filtered inlets, debris
basins, and silt traps shall be utilized
in conjunction with plantings to minimize
soil loss form the construction site.
Said plantings shall be accomplished
under the supervision of a licensed
landscape architect and shall consist of
seeding, mulching, fertilization, and
irrigation adequate to provide 90%
coverage within 90 days. Planting shall
be repeated, if the required level of
coverage is not established. This
requirement shall apply to all disturbed
soils, including stockpiles.
Page 9
E. Landscaping
In order to guard against introduction of any species
which are inherently noxious to or incompatible with
adjacent lagoon habitat, drought tolerant plans and
native vegetation shall be used in areas of close
proximity to the wetland, to the maximum extent
feasible.
Landscaping adjacent to structures should provide an
effective screen of urban development.
F. Scenic and Visual Qualities
The scenic and visual qualities of the area are of great
value to the region. Again, the focal point for these
qualities is Batiquitos Lagoon. The viewshed to the
lagoon and from the lagoon shoreline are important
resources. Many of the requirements previously
established by this document address visual quality
components, such as:
setbacks
preservation of slope areas
preservation of lagoon and riparian habitats
enhancement of the lagoon environments
controlled grading
1. In addition to these provisions, the following
shall be provided to further address the important
scenic and visual character of the area:
a. La Costa Avenue should be established as a
scenic corridor pursuant to the City of
Carlsbad General Plan Scenic Highway Element.
b. Scenic corridor status shall be pursued for
any public roadway to be established along a
part or the entire lagoon north shore.
c. Existing, mature, healthy vegetation such as
eucalyptus stands, shall be preserved where
possible.
d. Offsite signing along public roadways shall be
prohibited.
e. If a Master Plan is pursued for the property,
the provisions of the City of Carlsbad Scenic
Preservation Overlay Zone should be utilized
where appropriate.
Page 10 i
f. View points shall be established along the
north and south shore areas (if and where
environmentally sound and physically possible)
to provide varied visual access to the lagoon.
g. View points should offer a mix of
accessibility for pedestrian, bicycle, and
motor vehicles.
G. Public Access
La Costa Avenue is designated a major arterial providing
coastal access from inland areas to the east.
Construction of La Costa Avenue to major arterial
standards shall be designed so as to limit environmental
impacts. Any road construction that involves wetlands
impacts shall require a Coastal Development Permit
issued by the Coastal Commission. Wetlands impact
mitigation shall be a condition of the permit.
A public access trail system along the north shore of
Batiquitos Lagoon shall be required as a condition of
Master Plan approval for Sub-Area No. 1. The trail
shall be conveyed to an appropriate agency or non-profit
organization (subject to Carlsbad approval) through a
recorded open space easement.
Public access along the south shore shall be provided as
part of La Costa Avenue improvements. Access shall
include but not be limited to a pedestrian walkway and
bicycle lane along the entire south shore length covered
by this LCP segment.
Lagoon accessways and overlook areas along the north
shore shall be provided. The responsibility for
construction and maintenance of such facilities shall be
with the developer as a condition of any permit approval
unless otherwise specified in the Batiquitos Lagoon
. Enhancement Plan (on file with the City of Carlsbad) .
Such accessways shall be preserved for public use by
requiring appropriate offers of entitlement of those
areas as a condition of the implementation of the
Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Plan. The accessways
shall not adversely impact environmentally sensitive
habitats.
H. State Lands Commission Review
1. Prior tcr issuance of a coastal development permit,
permittee shall obtain a written determination from
the State Lands Commission that:
Page 11
No State Lands are involved in the
development, or
State Lands are involved in the development
and all permits required by the State Lands
Commission have been obtained, or
State Land may be involved in the development,
but pending a final determination an agreement
has been made with the State Lands Commission
for the project to proceed without prejudice
to that determination.

east of Paseo del Norte including the additional 20 acres between
Paseo del Norte and Interstate-5. (See Exhibit 4.3.) All such
lands owned either by Carltas or Ecke or their successors in
interest shall be permitted, pursuant to approval of a Master
Plan or a combination of a Specific Plan and Master Plan, to
convert certain agricultural lands to residential and/or non-
-6-
residential (including tourist-serving commercial) development as
a means of providing supplementary uses which will assist in the
retention of agricultural uses on the remaining portions of these
parcels. It should be noted that residential uses are possible
only where they do not conflict with the Airport Influence Area
and where they are compatible with adjacent uses.
A. Basic Permitted Uses on Existing Legal Parcels
Where each existing legal parcel as of July 14, 1987, (See
Exhibit 4.3.) is developed individually, permitted uses shall be
those described above in Policy 2-1 C Permitted Uses on
Designated Coastal Agricultural Lands.
B» Uses Conditionally Permissible Pursuant to the Development
of the Entire Area Subject to a Master Plan
1. Consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan residential,
commercial (including tourist serving commercial), and other
non-residential uses may be developed up on to 137 acres of
the approximately 482 acre site subject to a Master Plan for
the entire site.
2. Development shall be clustered along Palomar Airport Road,
Paseo del Norte, and Cannon Road as per Exhibit 4.3A.
3. Any amendment to the location of the developable area shall
be required to prove that the new area for development is
not more suitable for agriculture than the previously
-7-
developable area. The intent: of this requirement is to
cluster development on lands least suitable for agriculture.
4. All remaining lands of approximately 345 acres (See Exhibit
4.3A.) shall as a condition of the Master Plan be preserved
in agriculture for as long as feasible. Feasibility shall
be determined for the entire 345 acres covered by this
restriction. Further, feasibility shall be subject to the
requirements of the Hello II Coastal Agricultural Overlay
Zone Section 21.82.060(c).
5. Pursuant to Section 51257 of the Government Code, the
boundaries of the lands designated for agriculture may be
amended.
6. As an interim step (prior to a complete Master Plan) a 35
acre portion of the 137 acres of developable land located
adjacent and easterly to Phase I of Carlsbad Car Country may
be developed as a Phase II expansion of Carlsbad Car Country
pursuant to a Specific Plan.
7. The 137 acres of developable land includes any portion of
the 482 acre site (See Exhibit 4.3A.) that has been
developed prior to the Master Plan approval.
8. The Master Plan shall provide a mix location and intensity
of land uses that are compatible with and will not adversely
impact the long term viability of agricultural uses.
9. All development shall include special treatment buffers
either through design or through physical barriers that
stabilize the urban - agricultural boundaries and limit to a
-8-
level of Insignificance agricultural impacts . on the urban
uses.
10. All tenants of developable portions of the site shall be
notified as to the requirements of the Specific and Master
Plans and agricultural uses on the designated land.
11. In implementing the Master Plan all land owners and
tenants within the 482 acre site shall waive any right to
file nuisance claims against normal agricultural operations.
12. All development shall be located so as to not interfere with
normal agricultural operations including but not limited to
cultivation, irrigation, and spraying.
13. As a condition of approval of either the Master Plan or the
Specific Plan for the Phase II expansion of Carlsbad Car
Country, whichever occurs first, the property owners
(Carltas and/or Ecke or their successors in interest) shall
record a deed restriction endorsed by the Coastal Commission
or its successor in interest and the City of Carlsbad that
the 345 acres of land identified on Exhibit 4.3 are
designated for Agricultural uses and any modification of use
shall require a LCP amendment.
14. It is recognized that roads can function as buffers between
dissimilar land uses as well as providing access to uses.
Therefore, roads may be located entirely or partially or not
at all within areas designated for agricultural use. The
decision to include or exclude (either partially or
entirely) roads shall be a condition of the coastal
-9-
development permit: that includes the construction of the
road.
