Item No.
P.C. AGENDA OF: May 5, 2010
Application complete date: N/A
Project Planner: Corey Funk
Project Engineer: N/A
SUBJECT: GPA 10-01/LCPA 10-01/ZCA 10-02 - VILLAGE AREA TITLE
AMENDMENT - A request for a recommendation of approval for a General
Plan Amendment, Local Coastal Program Amendment and Zone Code
Amendment to make minor amendments to correct titles related to the expiration
of the Village Redevelopment Plan.
I.RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6691, 6692, and
6693, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of GPA 10-01, LCPA 10-01 and ZCA 10-02, based
on the findings contained therein.
II.INTRODUCTION
This proposal is City-initiated and consists of: (1) amendments to the text of the General Plan
Land Use Element, Local Coastal Program and Zoning Ordinance to correct terminology related
to the Village area; and 2) amendments to the Zoning Map, LCP Land Use Plan map and LCP
Zoning Map to remove the term "redevelopment" from references to the Village area. All
proposed changes relate to the expiration of the Village Redevelopment Plan and consist only of
title corrections.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
On June 23, 2009, to address the expiration of the Village redevelopment plan (scheduled to
expire on July 21, 2010, the City Council approved amendments to the Village Master Plan and
Design Manual, Zoning Ordinance, LCP, and General Plan (RP/LCPA 95-10(A)xl/ZCA 95-
10(A)xl/MCA 95-01 (A)xl/GPA 09-03). Among other items, the June 2009 amendments
changed the titles of the applicable Village area zoning district and LCP segment by removing
the term "redevelopment". The current proposed amendment (Village Area Title Amendment -
GPA 10-01/LCPA 10-01/ZCA 10-02) consists of correcting title references related to the Village
area that were not amended by the earlier action. Also included is an unrelated amendment to
the General Plan to revise outdated wording which describes the permit authority in the various
LCP segments. No changes to policy, programs or processes are proposed, and the map changes
do not alter existing regulations or land use/zoning designations affecting any property in the
City.

IV. ANALYSIS
A. Purpose and Description of Proposed Amendments
When the Village redevelopment plan expires, certain terms related to the Village
"redevelopment" area will no longer be relevant. Any reference to Village "redevelopment"
should be amended to delete the term "redevelopment". In addition, the Design Review Board's
authority was transferred to the Planning Commission when the redevelopment plan was
originally scheduled to expire on July 21, 2009; therefore, any reference to the Design Review
Board should be deleted. The amendments approved by City Council in June 2009 (described
above) amended the majority of references related to the Village "redevelopment" area.
However, a few references were inadvertently not amended, which comprise the purpose of this
amendment. Table I summarizes the proposed amendments and indicates which attached
documents to refer to for more information.

B. General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program Consistency
The proposed amendments are minor and only involve title or reference changes and provide
clarification. No changes to development standards, policies or programs are proposed.
Therefore, the proposed amendments do not create any conflicts with the provisions of the
General Plan, Local Coastal Program, or Zoning Ordinance.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed amendments are exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Section
15061(b)(3), which exempts projects "where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment."
Changing the title of a zoning district and Local Coastal Program segment will not result in a
significant effect on the environment.

access. Landscaped buffers should be provided
around the project site between neighborhood
commercial uses and other uses to ensure
compatibility. All buildings should be low-rise
and should include architectural/design features
to be compatible with the neighborhood.
Permitted uses and building intensities should
be compatible with surrounding land uses.
b. Regional Commercial (R): Regional
commercial centers provide shopping goods,
general merchandise, automobile sales, apparel,
furniture, and home furnishing in full depth and
variety. Two or more department stores are
typically the major anchors of a regional
shopping center, while other stores supplement
and complement the various department store
lines. New forms of regional centers may include
such developments as outlet centers with an
aggregation of factory outlet stores where there
are no specific anchor tenants although such
centers are regional and enjoy a strong tourist
trade. Regional centers draw customers from
outside the City and generate interregional
traffic. For this reason, such centers are
customarily located on a site that is easily visible
as well as accessible from interchange points
between highways and freeways. Local
shopping centers may be adjunct to regional
centers to also serve the daily convenience
needs of customers utilizing the larger shopping
center. A group of convenience stores, service
facilities, business and professional offices are
also often associated with a regional center.
Some of these may be incorporated in the
center itself, or arranged at the periphery in the
immediate area.
c. Travel/Recreation Commercial (TR): This
land use category designates areas for visitor
attractions and commercial uses that serve the
travel and recreational needs of tourists,
residents, as well as employees of business and
industrial centers. Such uses may include, but
are not limited to, hotels and motels,
restaurants, recreation facilities, museums,
travel support services, and specialty retail uses
catering to tourists. Travel/recreation
commercial uses are generally located near
major transportation corridors or recreational
and resort areas such as spas, hotels, beaches
or lagoons. Travel/recreation commercial uses
should be compatible with and designed to
protect surrounding properties, should ensure
safe traffic circulation and should promote
economically viable tourist-oriented areas of the
City.
d. Village (V): The Village addresses land uses
located in the heart of "old" Carlsbad in the area
commonly referred to as the "downtown."
Permitted land uses may include retail stores,
offices, financial institutions, restaurants and
tourist-serving facilities. Residential uses can
be intermixed throughout the area. The Village
Area is regulated by the Carlsbad Village Master
Plan and Design Manual.
e. Office and Related Commercial (O): This
classification designates areas that are
compatible with and environmentally suited for
office and professional uses, as well as related
commercial uses. This designation is. especially
appropriate for medical office use. Office and
related commercial land use can be used as
buffers between retail commercial areas and
residential uses.
4. PLANNED INDUSTRIAL (PI)
Planned Industrial land uses include those areas
currently used for, proposed as, or adjacent to
industrial development, including manufacturing,
warehousing, storage, research and develop-ment,
and utility use. Agricultural and outdoor recreation
uses on lots of one acre or more are considered to
be a proper interim use for industrially designated
areas.
5. GOVERNMENTAL FACILITIES (G)
This classification of land use designates areas
currently being used for major governmental facilities
by agencies such as the city, county, state, or
federal government. Facilities within this category
may include uses such as civic buildings, libraries,
maintenance yards, police and fire stations and
airports (McClellan-Palomar Airport). Smaller
facilities, such as branch libraries, may be found in
other land use designations, such as commercial,
and are not shown on the land use map.
Amended June 23, 2009 Page 19
Exhibit X-2
May5, 2010
City of Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element, Section II.D.3 (Special Planning
Considerations - Coastal Zone Programs) is proposed to be amended as follows:
3. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMS
In 1972, California voters approved Proposition 20 which led to the enactment of the State law
(California Coastal Act of 1976) which regulates any development within California's Coastal
Zone. The Coastal Act requires that individual jurisdictions adopt Local Coastal Programs
(LCP) to implement the State law at a local level. Carlsbad's Local Coastal Program is
consistent with the General Plan, but it is a separate document containing separate land use
policies and implementation measures which must also be complied with in addition to the
General Plan. Approximately one-third of the City is located within the Coastal Zone. The City's
coastal zone has been divided into six segments and each segment is regulated by separate
LCP's (See Map 4: Local Coastal Program Boundary). The boundaries of the City's Coastal
Zone which were established by the State are depicted on the Land Use Map.
Almost every conceivable type of development proposal within the Coastal Zone from removal
of natural vegetation to the construction of huge master planned communities requires the
approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) in addition to any other permits or
entitlements. The land use policies, programs and regulations of the relevant LCP shall be
referred to in addition to the General Plan, the Municipal Code and other pertinent regulations
for guiding land use and development within the Coastal Zone. The California Coastal
Commission currently retains Coastal Development Permit authority in the Agua Hedionda
Segment. In the remaining five segments, the City has the authority to issue Coastal
Development Permits.
In those circumstances where an issue is not addressed by the Local Coastal Program Land
Use Plan, but is addressed by the City of Carlsbad General Plan, no coastal development
permit, or exemption may be granted unless the project considered is found by the appropriate
authority to be consistent with the City of Carlsbad General Plan. In those circumstances where
an issue is addressed by both the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and the City of
Carlsbad General Plan, the terms of the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan shall prevail.

the Coastal Commission in September 1980 and June 1981, respectively. The Agua Hedionda
land use plan was prepared by the City and approved by the Coastal Commission on July 1,
1982.
Preparation of the Mello I, Mello II and Agua Hedionda segments resulted in a number of
issues and conflicts between the City and Commission over the years. These segments cover
a good portion of the city's coastal zone and contain substantial amounts of undeveloped
property. Among those issues which surfaced in the preparation of the LCPs were
preservation of agricultural lands, protection of steep sloping hillsides and erosion control.
The City found the policies of the certified Mello I and II segments regarding preservation of
agriculture and steep sloping hillsides to be unacceptable. Following the certification of
Mello I and II, the City pursued negotiations with the Commission through a City Council-
formed special committee comprised of Commission staff and City officials to resolve issues.
In September of 1984 the Governor signed Assembly Bill 3744 (effective January 1, 1985)
which eliminated provisions for an "agricultural subsidy program" in Carlsbad's coastal zone.
In the summer of 1985, the City submitted two amendment requests to the Commission and,
in October 1985, the Commission certified amendments 1-85 and 2-85 to the Mello I and II
segments. These major amendments to the LCP involved changes to the agricultural
preservation, steep slope and housing protection policies of the Mello I and II segments.
After certification of these amendments, the City adopted the Mello I and II LCP segments
and began the process of preparing documents for "effective" certification of the entire LCP.
The West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties segment was certified in 1985 along with a
coastal development permit for a project comprising the majority of the uplands within that
segment. The master plan (Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park) associated with this project
served as the LCP implementing ordinances.
The plan area of the Village Area segment (previously titled "Village Area Redevelopment"
segment) was formerly part of the Mello II segment. In August 1984, the Commission
approved the segmentation of this 100 acre area from the remainder of the Mello II LCP
segment and, at the same time, approved the submitted land use plan for the area. In March of
1988, the Commission approved the Implementation Program for the Village Area
Redevelopment segment. The City assumed permit authority for this segment on December
14, 1988. In November 2009, the title of this segment was changed to the "Village Area"
segment due to the imminent (July 2010) expiration of the Village Redevelopment Plan;
however, the boundaries and policies affecting this segment are unchanged.
The East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment is comprised of a portion of the original
Mello I area and an area annexed (1985) to Carlsbad in and around Batiquitos Lagoon. An
area of the segment known as Green Valley, south of the lagoon, the lagoon and the
immediate north shore were previously part of the County of San Diego LCP (uncertified).
All of this property, at the time of LCP preparation, was in one ownership (Hunt) and was the
subject of the Pacific Rim master plan covering the lagoon and north shore uplands. The
segment was certified by the Commission (land use and master plan as implementing
ordinances) in March of 1988.

access. Landscaped buffers should be provided
around the project site between neighborhood
commercial uses and other uses to ensure
compatibility. All buildings should be low-rise
and should include architectural/design features
to be compatible with the neighborhood.
Permitted uses and building intensities should
be compatible with surrounding land uses.
b. Regional Commercial (R): Regional
commercial centers provide shopping goods,
general merchandise, automobile sales, apparel,
furniture, and home furnishing in full depth and
variety. Two or more department stores are
typically the major anchors of a regional
shopping center, while other stores supplement
and complement the various department store
lines. New forms of regional centers may include
such developments as outlet centers with an
aggregation of factory outlet stores where there
are no specific anchor tenants although such
centers are regional and enjoy a strong tourist
trade. Regional centers draw customers from
outside the City and generate interregional
traffic. For this reason, such centers are
customarily located on a site that is easily visible
as well as accessible from interchange points
between highways and freeways. Local
shopping centers may be adjunct to regional
centers to also serve the daily convenience
needs of customers utilizing the larger shopping
center. A group of convenience stores, service
facilities, business and professional offices are
also often associated with a regional center.
Some of these may be incorporated in the
center itself, or arranged at the periphery in the
immediate area.
c. Travel/Recreation Commercial (TR): This
land use category designates areas for visitor
attractions and commercial uses that serve the
travel and recreational needs of tourists,
residents, as well as employees of business and
industrial centers. Such uses may include, but
are not limited to, hotels and motels,
restaurants, recreation facilities, museums,
travel support services, and specialty retail uses
catering to tourists. Travel/recreation
commercial uses are generally located near
major transportation corridors or recreational
and resort areas such as spas, hotels, beaches
or lagoons. Travel/recreation commercial uses
should be compatible with and designed to
protect surrounding properties, should ensure
safe traffic circulation and should promote
economically viable tourist-oriented areas of the
City.
d. Village (V): The Village addresses land uses
located in the heart of "old" Carlsbad in the area
commonly referred to as the "downtown."
Permitted land uses may include retail stores,
offices, financial institutions, restaurants and
tourist-serving facilities. Residential uses can
be intermixed throughout the area. The Village
Area is regulated by the Carlsbad Village Master
Plan and Design Manual.
e. Office and Related Commercial (0): This
classification designates areas that are
compatible with and environmentally suited for
office and professional uses, as well as related
commercial uses. This designation is especially
appropriate for medical office use. Office and
related commercial land use can be used as
buffers between retail commercial areas and
residential uses.
4. PLANNED INDUSTRIAL (PI)
Planned Industrial land uses include those areas
currently used for, proposed as, or adjacent to
industrial development, including manufacturing,
warehousing, storage, research and develop-ment,
and utility use. Agricultural and outdoor recreation
uses on lots of one acre or more are considered to
be a proper interim use for industrially designated
areas.
5. GOVERNMENTAL FACILITIES (G)
This classification of land use designates areas
currently being used for major governmental facilities
by agencies such as the city, county, state, or
federal government. Facilities within this category
may include uses such as civic buildings, libraries,
maintenance yards, police and fire stations and
airports (McClellan-Palomar Airport). Smaller
facilities, such as branch libraries, may be found in
other land use designations, such as commercial,
and are not shown on the land use map.

Carlsbad General Plan Section II.D.3 Attachment 5
Underline/Strikeout Exhibit May 5, 2010
City of Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element, Section II.D.3 (Special Planning
Considerations - Coastal Zone Programs) is proposed to be amended as follows:
3. COASTAL ZONE PROGRAMS
In 1972, California voters approved Proposition 20 which led to the enactment of the State law
(California Coastal Act of 1976) which regulates any development within California's Coastal
Zone. The Coastal Act requires that individual jurisdictions adopt Local Coastal Programs
(LCP) to implement the State law at a local level. Carlsbad's Local Coastal Program is
consistent with the General Plan, but it is a separate document containing separate land use
policies and implementation measures which must also be complied with in addition to the
General Plan. Approximately one-third of the City is located within the Coastal Zone. The City's
coastal zone has been divided into six segments and each segment is regulated by separate
LCP's (See Map 4: Local Coastal Program Boundary). The boundaries of the City's Coastal
Zone which were established by the State are depicted on the Land Use Map.
Almost every conceivable type of development proposal within the Coastal Zone from removal
of natural vegetation to the construction of huge master planned communities requires the
approval of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) in addition to any other permits or
entitlements. The land use policies, programs and regulations of the relevant LCP shall be
referred to in addition to the General Plan, the Municipal Code and other pertinent regulations
for guiding land use and development within the Coastal Zone. Although the City has adopted
LCP segments for all of its Coastal Zone, The California Coastal Commission currently
retains Coastal Development Permit authority in the Agua Hedionda Segment, it only has
authority to issue Coastal Development Permits within the Redevelopment segment. In the
remaining five segments, the City has the authority to issue Coastal Development Permits.
the California Coastal Commission currently retains Coastal Development Permit authority.
Carlsbad is actively pursuing the lengthy task of effectively implementing the five LCP segments
in order to transfer permit authority to the City.
In those circumstances where an issue is not addressed by the Local Coastal Program Land
Use Plan, but is addressed by the City of Carlsbad General Plan, no coastal development
permit, or exemption may be granted unless the project considered is found by the appropriate
authority to be consistent with the City of Carlsbad General Plan. In those circumstances where
an issue is addressed by both the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and the City of
Carlsbad General Plan, the terms of the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan shall prevail.
Local Coastal Program Attachment 6

Land Use - Introduction Chapter I
the Coastal Commission in September 1980 and June 1981, respectively. The Agua Hedionda
land use plan was prepared by the City and approved by the Coastal Commission on July 1,
1982.
Preparation of the Mello I, Mello II and Agua Hedionda segments resulted in a number of issues
and conflicts between the City and Commission over the years. These segments cover a good
portion of the city's coastal zone and contain substantial amounts of undeveloped property.
Among those issues which surfaced in the preparation of the LCPs were preservation of
agricultural lands, protection of steep sloping hillsides and erosion control. The City found the
policies of the certified Mello I and II segments regarding preservation of agriculture and steep
sloping hillsides to be unacceptable. Following the certification of Mello I and II, the City pursued
negotiations with the Commission through a City Council-formed special committee comprised of
Commission staff and City officials to resolve issues. In September of 1984 the Governor signed
Assembly Bill 3744 (effective January 1, 1985) which eliminated provisions for an "agricultural
subsidy program" in Carlsbad's coastal zone.
In the summer of 1985, the City submitted two amendment requests to the Commission and, in
October 1985, the Commission certified amendments 1-85 and 2-85 to the Mello I and II
segments. These major amendments to the LCP involved changes to the agricultural
preservation, steep slope and housing protection policies of the Mello I and II segments. After
certification of these amendments, the City adopted the Mello I and II LCP segments and began
the process of preparing documents for "effective" certification of the entire LCP.
The West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties segment was certified in 1985 along with a
coastal development permit for a project comprising the majority of the uplands within that
segment. The master plan (Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park) associated with this project
served as the LCP implementing ordinances.
The plan area of the Village Area segment (previously titled "Village Area Redevelopment"
segment) was formerly part of the Mello II segment. In August 1984, the Commission approved
the segmentation of this 100 acre area from the remainder of the Mello II LCP segment and, at
the same time, approved the submitted land use plan for the area. In March of 1988, the
Commission approved the Implementation Program for the Village Area Redevelopment
segment. The City assumed permit authority for this segment on December 14, 1988. [n
November 2009, the title of this segment was changed to the "Village Area" segment due
to the imminent (July 2010) expiration of the Village Redevelopment Plan; however, the
boundaries and policies affecting this segment are unchanged.
The East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment is comprised of a portion of the original
Mello I area and an area annexed (1985) to Carlsbad in and around Batiquitos Lagoon. An area
of the segment known as Green Valley, south of the lagoon, the lagoon and the immediate north
shore were previously part of the County of San Diego LCP (uncertified). All of this property, at
the time of LCP preparation, was in one ownership (Hunt) and was the subject of the Pacific Rim
master plan covering the lagoon and north shore uplands. The segment was certified by the
Commission (land use and master plan as implementing ordinances) in March of 1988.
