10. AMENDMENT'S RELATIONSHIP TO AND EFFECT ON OTHER SECTIONS OF
THE PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED LCP
The proposed LCP amendment involves only a redesignatlon of the subject
property in the Mello II segment This redesignatlon would bring the land use of
the property into conformance with the existing zoning of the property by making
the zoning and land use boundary lines coincident. Given the focused nature of
the proposed amendment, the action will have no effect on other sections of the
previously certified LCP.
11. ZONING MEASURES THAT WILL IMPLEMENT THE LCPA
The Implementing zoning will include the One Family Residential (R-1) zone
(Chapter 21.10 ofthe Carlsbad Municipal Code) and the Qualified Development
Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.06 of the C.M.C).
12. AFFECT ON PUBLIC ACCESS
The Lohf Subdivision project site is located 2.65 miles from the Pacific Ocean
and 0.85 miles from the Batiquitos Lagoon and is surrounded by improved public
streets and sidewalks. No shoreline access provisions apply to the project and
adequate public access exists around the site.
13. ANALYSIS OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE CUMULATIVE
IMPACTS ON COASTAL RESOURCES
The Lohf Subdivision site has been and continues to be designated for residen-
tial development in the Mello II Land Use Plan. The site is currently fully devel-
oped and occupied and there is no development proposed with this LCP
amendment. All existing open space and resource areas will remain undisturbed
In accordance with the approved development plan. Therefore, the proposed
LCP amendment will have no significant adverse cumulative impacts on coastal
resources.
14. SUMMARY OF MEASURES TO ENSURE BOTH PUBLIC AND AGENCY
PARTICIPATION
The Local Coastal Program Amendment was duly noticed for over the six-week
period, from March 25, 2004 to September 21, 2004, 2004 and no comments
were received. The proposed amendment was also reviewed through the duly
noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council, as
listed below:

7 Findings:
^ 1. The proposed change in General Plan land use designation from RM to RLM is
g consistent with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the existing
subdivisions, in that the proposed designation reflects the existing single family
10 development with densities from 2.2 to 3.0 dwelling units per acre; no property
within the area proposed for change could be further subdivided; the proposed
11 General Plan designation is implemented by the existing R-l-Q zoning on the
property; both existing subdivisions have provided for their fair share of housing
affordable to lower income households; and the adjustment of the boundary
13 between RLM and RM will result in no property being located within two General
Plan designations.

I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I fmd that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been
added to fhe project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
•
I I I fmd that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have "potentially significant impact(s)" on the environment, but at
least one potentially significant impact 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis
as described on attached sheets. A Negative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects
that remain to be addressed.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental
Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental
Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the foim of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical,
biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information
to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or
to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
• A brief explanation is requii"ed for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by
an infomiation source cited in the parentlieses following each question. A "No Impacf answer is
adequately supported if the referenced infonnation sources show that fhe impact simply does not apply to
projects like the one involved. A "No Impacf answer should be explained when there is no source
document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
• "Less Than Significant Impacf applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential impact is not
significantly adverse, and the impact does not exceed adopted general standards and policies.
• "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation
measiures has reduced an effect firom "Potentially Significant Impacf to a "Less Than Significant Impact."
The developer must agi-ee to the mitigation, and the City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
• "Potentially Significant Impacf is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significantly
adverse.
• Based on an "EIA-Part II", if a proposed project could have a potentially significant adverse effect on the
enviromnent, but all potentially significant adverse effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earher
EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, and none ofthe circumstances requiring a supplement
to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by tiie prior environmental
document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional environmental document is required.
• When "Potentially Significant Impacf is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR
if the significant adverse effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to apphcable
standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" has been made
pursuant to that earUer EIR.
• A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any
of its aspects may cause a significant adverse effect on the envii^onment.
• If there are one or more potentially significant adverse effects, tiie City may avoid preparing an EIR if there
are mitigation measures to clearly reduce adverse impacts to less than sigmficant, and those mitigation
measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. • In this case, the appropriate "Potentially
Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incoiporated" may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration
may be prepared.
Rev. 07/03/02
• An EIR must be prepared if "Potentially Significant Impacf is checked, and including but not limited to
the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant adverse effect has not been discussed or
mitigated in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does not agree to mitigation
measures that reduce the adverse impact to less than significant; (2) a "Statement of Overriding
Considerations" for the significant adverse impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3)
proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the adverse impact to less than sigruficant; or (4) through the
EIA-Part II analysis it is not possible to detennine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect,
or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a
level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measiures appears at the end of the form under
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing
mitigation for impacts, which would otherwise be determined significant.

Issues (and Supporting Information Sources).
I. AESTHETICS - Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including but
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quahty ofthe site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light and glare,
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?
II. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES - (In deteiTnining
whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to fhe
Califomia Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model-1997 prepared by the Califomia
Department of Conservation as an optional model to use
in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.) Would
the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural
use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contiact?
c) Involve other changes in the existuig environment,
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use?
III. AIR QUALITY - (Where available, the significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution contiol district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations.) Would the
project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of tiie
applicable aii- quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contiibute
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?

scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earUer analysis.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects tiiat are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document
and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
15 Rev. 07/03/02
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
The project involves a General Plan Amendment, and Local Coastal Program Amendment to adjust the boundary
between the Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) and Residential Medium Density (RM) General Plan
designations over approximately 4.47 acres within the Lohf and Steiner residential subdivisions, generally located
east of El Camino Real, north and south of Poinsettia Lane.
The existing General Plan land use designation boundary does not follow the existing property lines within the
single-family subdivision, resulting in some lots containing two land use designations. It also results in the existing
One Family Residential (R-l-Q) zoning implementing two different General Plan designations within the same
subdivision. The proposed General Plan land use boundary would foUow tiie project boundary for the single-family
subdivision, witii the R-l-Q zoning implementing only the RLM land use designation.
The property covered by the proposed land use designation change is already subdivided and constracted and has no
potential of fiirther subdivision, therefore no impacts to the yield of the properties will occur. Since all of the
affected properties are already subdivided and no additional development is proposed with this project, no impacts to
any physical features, such as scenic resources, envfronmentally sensitive areas, or geologic features, will occur. The
adjustment of the land use boundary over the developed properties does not preclude the continued conformance
with the Mello II segment poUcies. The proposal is consistent with all applicable policies and regulations and staff
has no issues with the proposed land use designation change.
AESTHETICS:
No Impact. The proposed legislative actions do not impact the existuig or fiiture development of the residential
subdivision. No development is proposed with the actions and no adjustments to the existing development are
proposed. Therefore no impacts to aesthetics will result.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES:
No Impact. The project site is an existing residential subdivision. No agricultiural resources exist on the property
and the proposed land use designation boundary adjustment will not increase or reduce the amount of agricultural
land. Therefore, no impacts to agricultural resources will occur.
AIR QUALITY:
No Impact. No additional development is proposed with the land use designation boundary adjustment. Therefore
no increases in emissions, sources of dust, or objectionable odors will occur.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE:
No Impact. All natural open space areas preserved with the existing residential subdivision will remain and no
development or alteration of any areas with biological resources is proposed. Therefore, the proposed land use and
zoning designation boundary adjustment will not have an adverse impact on biological resources.
CULTURAL RESOURCES:
No Impact. No additional grading is proposed with this land use designation boundary adjustment. The site is
already developed in accordance with the approved subdivision map and, therefore, no impacts to cultiiral resources
would result.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS:
No impact. No grading is proposed with the land use designation boundary adjustment and no adjustment to the
existing, approved grading plan would result from the proposed boundary adjustment. Therefore, no adverse
impacts due to geology or soils will result.
16 Rev. 07/03/02
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
No Impact. No constraction or alteration to the cunently approved development is proposed with the land use
designation boundary adjustment and no additional hazards or hazardous materials will result due to the proposal.
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY:
No Impact;- No constraction or alteration to the existing residential subdivision is proposed with the land use
designation boundary adjustment. Therefore no impacts to hydrology or water quality will result.
LAND USE AND PLANNING:
No Impact. The proposed land use and zoiung designation boundary adjustment will bring the zoning. General
Plan, and Local Coastal Program designations into confomiance and will eliminate the potential for individual lots to
have more than one designation. Since the subject property is already subdivided and has no potential for fiirther
subdivision, no impact to the residential yield of the property will result. Therefore, no adverse impacts to land use
and planning will occur due to the proposal.
MINERAL RESOURCES:
No Impact. No grading is proposed with the land use designation boundary adjustment and no adjustment to the
existing, approved grading plan would- result from the proposed boundary adjustment. Therefore, no adverse
impacts to mineral resources will result.
NOISE:
No Impact. No constraction or adjustment to approved constraction documents is proposed with the land use
designation boimdary adjustment. No new sources of noise will occur with the land use adjustments. Therefore, no
adverse impacts due to noise will result fi-om the proposed actions.
POPULATION AND HOUSING:
No Impact. The subject property is already subdivided and has no potential for further subdivision, therefore no
impact to the residential yield of the property wiU result from the land use and zoning designation boundary
adjustment. There is no alteration of the project's provision of housing affordable to lower income households.
Given the above, the proposal would not cause any adverse iiiqjacts to population and housing.
PUBLIC SERVICES:
No Impact. The proposal involves no constiruction and therefore no uicrease in public service demand would occur
•with the land use designation boundary adjustment. Given the above, no adverse impacts to public services would
occur.
RECREATION:
No Impact. No constraction is proposed with the land use designation boundary adjustment and no increase in
recreational demand -will occur. Therefore, no adverse impacts to recreation will result from the proposal.
TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC:
No Impact. No additional development is proposed with the land use designation boundary adjustment therefore no
increases tiaffic generation will occur. No fiulher subdivision of the subject property is allowed by virtue of the land
use boundary adjustment. Given the above, no adverse impacts to fr-ansportation or traffic -will occiu:.
UTILITY AND SERVICE SYSTEMS:
No Impact. The proposal involves no constiuction and therefore no increase in utility and service system demand
would occur with the land use designation boundary adjustment. Therefore, no adverse impacts to said services
would occur.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the Council ADOPT Resolution No. 2004-303 APPROVING the Negative
Declaration, General Plan Amendment GPA 04-04, and Local Coastal Program Amendment LCPA
04-04, for the Lohf Subdivision GPA land use change.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On August 18, 2004, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended
approval (6-0) of a Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Program
Amendment to adjust the boundary of the land use designations within the Lohf and Steiner
subdivisions. The City-initiated proposal is part of the General Plan/Zoning Consistency program;
one aspect of which is attempting to provide consistency between the General Plan land use and
Zoning designations. Since the project site is located in the City's Coastal Zone, a Local Coastal
Program Amendment is also needed to ensure consistency between the City's General Plan and
the Local Coastal Program.
The proposed land use revision would relocate the boundary between the Residential Low Medium
Density (RLM) and Residential Medium Density (RM) designations, changing the designation of
approximately 4.47 acres. The new boundary would be coincident with the subdivision boundaries
and the existing R-l-Q zoning designation boundary. It would also eliminate the existing situation
where some individual lots have two land use designations. The property covered by the proposed
land use designation change is already subdivided and has no potential of further subdivision,
therefore no impacts to the yield of the property would occur. The proposal is consistent with all
applicable regulations and staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval of the
Lohf Subdivision GPA.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The proposed Lohf Subdivision GPA project was reviewed for any potential adverse impact to the
environment pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No construction or
revisions to the approved development are proposed. The boundary adjustments bring the
General Plan, Zoning, and Local Coastal Program into conformance with each other. Therefore,
the proposal would not create any significant adverse environmental impacts. The Planning
Director issued a Negative Declaration on June 29, 2004 for public review and no comments were
received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impacts to the City are negligible in that the proposed action merely revises the land use
designations and regulations on the property.

II. INTRODUCTION
The project involves a City-initiated action that would change the General Plan and Local
Coastal Program land use designations for properties within the Lohf and Steiner subdivisions to
correct an existing General Plan/Zoning inconsistency. The existing General Plan land use and
zoning designation boundaries are not coincident and do not completely follow the property lines
created by the subdivision, resulting in some lots having two General Plan designations and
forcing the existing R-l-Q zoning to implement two General Plan designations within the same
residential subdivision. The proposal would relocate the General Plan land use designation
boundary to the subdivision boundary, resulting in a change from Residential Medium Density
(RM) to Residential Low Medium Density (RLM) over approximately 4.47 acres. All of the
property covered by the proposed land use designation change is already developed and has no
potential of further subdivision, therefore no impacts to the yield of the properties will occur.
The proposal is consistent with all applicable policies and regulations and staff has no issues with
the proposed land use designation change.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The City of Carlsbad is proposing a General Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Program
Amendment to adjust the General Plan land use designation boundary within the Lohf and
Steiner subdivisions. The proposal would adjust the boundary between the RLM and RM land
use designation boundary over approximately 4.47 acres, relocating the land use boimdary to be
coincident with the subdivision boundaries and the existing R-l-Q zoning designation boundary.
GPA 04-04/LCPA 04-04 - LOHF SUBDP/ISION GPA
August 4, 2004
Page 2
The land use designation of the Local Coastal Program would be adjusted through the
accompanying Local Coastal Program Amendment.
The subject properties are located west of El Camino Real, north and south of Poinsettia Lane
and are all developed with single-family homes. The properties were subdivided through the
Lohf Subdivision (CT 97-15) and the Steiner Subdivision (CT 99-13). Both subdivisions have
been constracted and occupied. No adjustments to the approved development are necessary to
implement the proposed General Plan and Local Coastal Program Amendments. No ftirther
subdivision of land is possible within the area proposed for boundary adjustment and all
exactions, including public facilities and affordable housing, have occurred and will not be
impacted by the proposed actions.
The adjustment of the boundaries is part of a Citywide effort to bring the General Plan and
Zoning into conformity. Areas within the City where the General Plan and Zoning Maps are not
in conformity have been identified and targeted for actions to bring the designations into
consistency. Currently, the General Plan boundary crosses through the Lohf and Steiner
subdivisions, resulting in several parcels having two General Plan designations and the existing
One Family Residential with Qualified Development Overlay (R-l-Q) zoning designation
implementing two different General Plan designations within the same subdivisions. The
proposed boundary would follow the subdivision boundaries to the east and north, as well as the
existing R-l-Q zoning designation boundary.
The Lohf Subdivision GPA is subject to the following regulations:
A. General Plan;
B. Local Coastal Program;
C. Zoning Ordinance and Existing Subdivisions;
D. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 ofthe Zoning Ordinance); and
E. Zone 21 Local Facilities Management Plan.
IV. ANALYSIS
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis
section discusses comphance with each of these regulations/policies utilizing both text and
tables.
A. General Plan
The Lohf Subdivision GPA is consistent with the applicable policies and programs of the
General Plan. Particularly relevant to the land use designation amendment request are the Land
Use, Housing, and Open Space and Conservation Elements. Table 1 below indicates how the
project comphes with these particular elements ofthe General Plan.

Land Use The RLM and RM designations
would be divided by the
existing subdivision

The Lohf Subdivision was
constmcted at a density of 2.2

at 3.0 du/ac, both consistent with
the RLM land use designation.
Yes
Housing Provide sufficient, new
affordable housing to meet the
needs of groups with special
requirements.
The proposed land use boundary
adjustment does not affect the
ability of the project to provide its
proportionate share of affordable
housing in that the developers
already purchased affordable
housing credits in the Villa Loma
apartment project.
Yes
Open Space and
Conservation
Preserve open spaces in as
natural a state as possible.
The proposed land use boundary
adjustment does not alter the
approved development, thereby
continuing to preserve the
approved natural open space
within the subdivision boundaries.
Yes
As shown by the above table, the project would ensure conformance with the General Plan.
B. Local Coastal Program
The subject properties are located in the Mello n segment of the City's Local Coastal Program
(LCP). The LCP consists of two parts - the Land Use Plan and the implementing ordinances.
For this portion of the Mello II segment, the implementing ordinances consist of the applicable
portions of the Zoning Ordinance. This section addresses only compliance with the Land Use
Plan since Zoning Ordinance compliance is discussed in Section C below. The policies of the
Mello- II Land Use Plan emphasize topics such as preservation of agricultural and scenic
resources, protection of environmentally sensitive resources, provision of shoreline access, and
prevention of geologic instability and erosion.
The proposed land use designation change from RM to RLM is consistent with the policies
contained in the Land Use Plan for the Mello n segment of the LCP. Since all of the affected
properties are already developed and no additional development is proposed with this project, no
impacts to any physical features, such as scenic resources, environmentally sensitive areas, or
geologic features, will occur. The change from RM to RLM over the developed properties does
not preclude the continued conformance with the Mello II segment policies. The land use change
represents the relocation of an existing boundary between the RM and RLM designations;
therefore no new land use is being added to the plan. Given the above, the proposed Lohf
Subdivision GPA is consistent with the Mello II Land Use Plan ofthe LCP.

C. Zoning Ordinance/Existing Subdivisions
The proposed Lohf Subdivision. GPA must be consistent with the existing Zoning and the
existing, developed subdivisions. The subject area of the proposed land use change is zoned One
Family Residential with a Qualified Development Overlay (R-l-Q), as is the remainder of the
Lohf Subdivision. The R-l zone is the preferred zoning designation to implement the RLM
General Plan land use designation.
As stated above, the area proposed for the land use change covers a portion of the existing Lohf
Subdivision and the entire existing Steiner Subdivision. The Lohf Subdivision was constracted
at a net density of 2.2 dwelling units per developable acre and the Steiner Subdivision was
constracted at a net density of 3.0 dwellings per acre. Both of these existing densities are within
the range ofthe RLM designation (0.0 - 4.0 dwellings per acre) and below the Growth Control
Point (3.2 dwelling units per acre); therefore the proposed land use designation is appropriate for
the existing land use. There are no lots within the area that could be fiirther subdivided; therefore
the proposed land use change does not affect any fiiture development in the area. Given the
above, the proposed Lohf Subdivision land use change is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance
and the existing subdivisions.
D. Growth Management Ordinance
Any request to change the land use of a property must be consistent with the City's Growth
Management Plan. Since the area proposed for the land use change is fully developed, all public
facilities necessary to serve the Lohf Subdivision and Steiner Subdivision developments are
already in place. Therefore, the proposed land use change would not have any impacts on pubhc
facilities or services. In addition, all excess dwelling units resulting from the development of the
property at a lower density than the Growth Management Control Point for the RM designation
have been extracted. The proposed land use change would therefore not result in any additional
dwelling units being deposited in the excess dwelling unit bank. Given the above, the proposed
land use change is consistent with the Growth Management Ordinance.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The potential environmental impacts due to the proposed land use and zoning boundary
adjustment was reviewed for potentially significant adverse impacts to the enviroiunent pursuant
to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No constraction or revisions to the
existing residential subdivisions are proposed with the boundary revisions, therefore no impacts
to physical features would occur. The boundary adjustments bring the General Plan, Zoning and
Local Coastal Program into conformance with each other and do not impact the existing
approved subdivision. No land within the area of the boundary adjustments could be further
subdivided and the proposed land use and zoning changes do not affect the ability of the project
to provide its proportionate share of housing affordable to lower income households. Given the
above, the proposed land use and zoning designation boundary adjustment would not produce
any sigmficant adverse impacts to the environment. The Planning Director issued a Notice of
Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration on June 29, 2004 for a 20-day pubhc review and no
comments were received.

Dear Bill:
This correspondence is in response to your letter, dated December 8, 2004 regarding
Carlsbad's third major LCP amendment package. Please find enclosed four (4) copies
of the submittal items requested for the above-referenced LCPA applications. The
items submitted are as follows:
LCPA #3-04F (Lohf):
1. Planning Commission and City Council meeting minutes. No persons requested
to speak, therefore there are no speaker slips.
2. 11" X 17" copies of the existing zoning and land use designations;'for the site and
its surroundings.
3. The open space portion of the Lohf residential development is located within the
HMP hardline conservation area. City staff is currently processing a
comprehensive Zone Change, General Plan Amendment, and Local Coastal
Program Amendment (where necessary) to change the designations of all
project-created open space lots to Open Space. This action will be submitted to
the Coastal Commission for an LCPA once processed through the City Planning
Commission and City Council. Should the Commission staff prefer that the
current LCPA be postponed until such time that the Open Space designation
project is submitted, the City would have no objection.
LCPA #3-04H (Thompson/Tabata):
1. Planning Commission and City Council meeting minutes. No persons requested
to speak, therefore there are no speaker slips.
2. 11" x 17" copies of the existing zoning and land use designations for the site and
its surroundings.

3. 24" x 36" copies of the original projects tentative map slope analysis. Also
included is the LCPA that approved the original project development, including
the open space delineation (LCPA 1-2002D - Thompson/Tabata). As required
by the attached Coastal Commission staff report, the onsite areas of native
vegetated habitat and southern willow scrub were to be secured through
recordation of an open space conservation easement in favor of the City. This
was accomplished through the Final Subdivision Map and, since no
development is proposed with this minor boundary line adjustment to the
designations, no alteration of the previously required open space securities is
proposed.

II. INTRODUCTION
The project involves a City-initiated action that would change the General Plan and Local
Coastal Program land use designations for properties within the Lohf and Steiner subdivisions to
correct an existing General Plan/Zoning inconsistency. The existing General Plan land use and
zoning designation boundaries are not coincident and do not completely follow the property lines
created by the subdivision, resulting in some lots having two General Plan designations and
forcing the existing R-l-Q zoning to implement two General Plan designations within the same
residential subdivision. The proposal would relocate the General Plan land use designation
boundary to the subdivision boundary, resulting in a change from Residential Medium Density
(RM) to Residential Low Medium Density (RLM) over approximately 4.47 acres. All of the
property covered by the proposed land use designation change is already developed and has no
potential of further subdivision, therefore no impacts to the yield of the properties will occur.
The proposal is consistent with all applicable policies and regulations and staff has no issues with
the proposed land use designation change.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The City of Carlsbad is proposing a General Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Program
Amendment to adjust the General Plan land use designation boundary within the Lohf and
Steiner subdivisions. The proposal would adjust the boundary between the RLM and RM land
use designation boundary over approximately 4.47 acres, relocating the land use boundary to be
coincident with the subdivision boundaries and the existing R-l-Q zoning designation boundary.
Q
GPA 04-04/LCPA 04-04 - LOHF SUBDP/ISION GPA
August 4, 2004
Page 2
The land use designation of the Local Coastal Program would be adjusted through the
accompanying Local Coastal Program Amendment.
The subject properties are located west of El Camino Real, north and south of Poinsettia Lane
and are all developed with single-family homes. The properties were subdivided through the
Lohf Subdivision (CT 97-15) and the Steiner Subdivision (CT 99-13). Both subdivisions have
been constracted and occupied. No adjustments to the approved development are necessary to
implement the proposed General Plan and Local Coastal Program Amendments. No further
subdivision of land is possible within the area proposed for boundary adjustment and all
exactions, including public facilities and affordable housing, have occurred and will not be
impacted by the proposed actions.
The adjustment of the boundaries is part of a Citywide effort to bring the General Plan and
Zoning into conformity. Areas within the City where the General Plan and Zoning Maps are not
in conformity have been identified and targeted for actions to bring the designations into
consistency. Currently, the General Plan boundary crosses through the Lohf and Steiner
subdivisions, resulting in several parcels having two General Plan designations and the existing
One Family Residential with Qualified Development Overlay (R-l-Q) zoning designation
implementing two different General Plan designations within the same subdivisions. The
proposed boundary would follow the subdivision boundaries to the east and north, as well as the
existing R-l-Q zoning designation boundary.
The Lohf Subdivision GPA is subject to the following regulations:
A. General Plan;
B. Local Coastal Program;
C. Zoning Ordinance and Existing Subdivisions;
D. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance); and
E. Zone 21 Local Facihties Management Plan.
IV. ANALYSIS
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis
section discusses compliance with each of these regulations/policies utilizing both text and
tables.
A. General Plan
The Lohf Subdivision GPA is consistent with the applicable policies and programs of the
General Plan. Particularly relevant to the land use designation amendment request are the Land
Use, Housing, and Open Space and Conservation Elements. Table 1 below indicates how the
project complies with these particular elements ofthe General Plan.

Yes
As shown by the above table, the project would ensure conformance with the General Plan.
B. Local Coastal Program
The subject properties are located in the Mello II segment of the City's Local Coastal Program
(LCP). The LCP consists of two parts - the Land Use Plan and the implementing ordinances.
For this portion of the Mello II segment, the implementing ordinances consist of the applicable
portions of the Zoning Ordinance. This section addresses only compliance with the Land Use
Plan since Zoning Ordinance compliance is discussed in Section C below. The policies of the
Mello II Land Use Plan emphasize topics such as preservation of agricultural and scenic
resources, protection of environmentally sensitive resources, provision of shoreline access, and
prevention of geologic instability and erosion.
The proposed land use designation change from RM to RLM is consistent with the policies
contained in the Land Use Plan for the Mello II segment of the LCP. Since all of the affected
properties are already developed and no additional development is proposed with this project, no
impacts to any physical features, such as scenic resources, environmentally sensitive areas, or
geologic features, will occur. The change from RM to RLM over the developed properties does
not preclude the continued conformance with the Mello II segment policies. The land use change
represents the relocation of an existing boundary between the RM and RLM designations;
therefore no new land use is being added to the plan. Given the above, the proposed Lohf
Subdivision GPA is consistent with the Mello II Land Use Plan ofthe LCP.
GPA 04-04/LCPA 04-04 - LOHF SUBDIVISION GPA
August 4, 2004
Page 4
C. Zoning Ordinance/Existing Subdivisions
The proposed Lohf Subdivision GPA must be consistent with the existing Zoning and the
existing, developed subdivisions. The subject area of the proposed land use change is zoned One
Family Residential with a Qualified Development Overlay (R-l-Q), as is the remainder of the
Lohf Subdivision. The R-l zone is the preferred zoning designation to implement the RLM
General Plan land use designation.
As stated above, the area proposed for the land use change covers a portion of the existing Lohf
Subdivision and the entire existing Steiner Subdivision. The Lohf Subdivision was constracted
at a net density of 2.2 dwelling units per developable acre and the Steiner Subdivision was
constracted at a net density of 3.0 dwellings per acre. Both of these existing densities are within
the range of the RLM designation (0.0 - 4.0 dwellings per acre) and below the Growth Control
Point (3.2 dwelling units per acre); therefore the proposed land use designation is appropriate for
the existing land use. There are no lots within the area that could be further subdivided; therefore
the proposed land use change does not affect any future development in the area. Given the
above, the proposed Lohf Subdivision land use change is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance
and the existing subdivisions.
D. Growth Management Ordinance
Any request to change the land use of a property must be consistent with the City's Growth
Management Plan. Since the area proposed for the land use change is fully developed, all public
facilities necessary to serve the Lohf Subdivision and Steiner Subdivision developments are
already in place. Therefore, the proposed land use change would not have any impacts on public
facilities or services. In addition, all excess dwelling units resulting from the development ofthe
property at a lower density than the Growth Management Control Point for the RM designation
have been extracted. The proposed land use change would therefore not result in any additional
dwelling units being deposited in the excess dwelling unit bank. Given the above, the proposed
land use change is consistent with the Growth Management Ordinance.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The potential environmental impacts due to the proposed land use and zoning boundary
adjustment was reviewed for potentially significant adverse impacts to the environment pursuant
to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No constraction or revisions to the
existing residential subdivisions are proposed with the boundary revisions, therefore no impacts
to physical features would occur. The boundary adjustments bring the General Plan, Zoning and
Local Coastal Program into conformance with each other and do not impact the existing
approved subdivision. No land within the area of the boundary adjustments could be fiirther
subdivided and the proposed land use and zoning changes do not affect the ability of the project
to provide its proportionate share of housing affordable to lower income households. Given the
above, the proposed land use and zoning designation boundary adjustment would not produce
any significant adverse impacts to the environment. The Planning Director issued a Notice of
Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration on June 29, 2004 for a 20-day public review and no
comments were received.
