DATE: JULY 30, 1986
TO: PLANNING COMMI S S I ON
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: GPA/LU 86-8/ZC-347/LCPA 86-1 - CITY OF CARLSBAD -
General Plan Amendments, Zone Changes and Local Coastal
Plan Amendments to bring the General Plan, Zoning and
Local Coastal Plan maps into conformance.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the Negative
Declarations issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolution
Nos. 2584, 2585, and 2586 recommending APPROVAL of GPA/LU 86-
8/ZC-347/LCPA 86-1 per staff’s recommendation to the City Council
based on the findings contained therein.
11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this report and the recommendations in it is to
bring the land use designations on the General Plan, Zoning Map
and Local Coastal Plan into conformancy. Presently there are a
number of inconsistencies between the designations on these three
documents. This has caused some confusion as to which document
provides the correct land use designation on a particular parcel.
During the preparation of this report, staff has also discovered
a number of drafting errors on the General Plan and Zoning Map
that will be corrected as a part of this review. In addition,
the land use designations on approximately 20% of the City are
being reviewed as either part of a proposed master plan, an
adopted master plan under review or other special study. These
master plan reviews and special studies will probably result in
requests €or additional General Plan Amendments, Zone Changes,
and Local Coastal Plan Amendments at some future date. The areas
covered by these studies were not considered for any changes at
this time.
The land use designation inconsistencies discovered by this
review will be corrected by either a General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change, Local Coastal Plan Amendment or a combination of any of
the above mentioned actions.
This report will be divided into two sections. The first section
will deal with General Plan and Zoning inconsistencies outside of
the Coastal Zone. They consist of five sites, one which will
require a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, one a General
Plan Amendment and three a Zone Change.
The second part of this report deals with General Plan
Amendments, Zone Changes and Local Coastal Plan Amendments within
the area covered by the Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan. Many of the
recommended changes will bring the General Plan Land Use Map and
Zoning Map designations into conformance with the recently
adopted Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan. The recommended changes to
the Local Coastal Plan will change LCP land use designations to
reflect existing land uses and General Plan land use
designations. Staff has discussed these recommended changes to
the Local Coastal Plan with Coastal Commission staff members and
received their support on most of the proposed changes.
111. AN ALY S I S
Planning Issues
1) Are the recommended General Plan Amendments consistent
with the Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan?
2) Are the recommended Zone Changes consistent with the
General Plan and/or the Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan?
3) Do the recommended amendments to the Land Use Plan of
the Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan to bring it into
conformance with the Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Map
accurately represent the existing land use on the
property, or provide a more appropriate land use
designation?
Discussion
Exhibit "A" - Harding Street
The first site consists of a General Plan Amendment and Zone
Change for a .67 acre parcel at 3334 Harding Street, see Exhibit
"A". The General Plan Amendment will be from RVH, Residential
Very High Density, 30-40 du/ac to RH, Residential High Density
20-30 du/ac. The Zone Change would be from RD-H, Residential
Density High to R-3, Multiple Family Residential, The
recommended General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will bring
this site's General Plan designation and zoning into conformance
with recent changes to the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
During the Citizen's Committee review of the Land Use Element of
the General Plan the RVH, Residential Very High Density
designation was eliminated.
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will have no
impact on the recently constructed apartment project on this
site. This project was developed at a density of 32.8 du/ac in
conformance with the site's RVH General Plan designation. The
change would permit the existing apartment complex to remain,. but
would prevent future expansion of the apartment building.

Exhibit "B" - Altiva place
The next recommendation is a General Plan Amendment from RMH,
Residential Medium High, 8-15 du/ac to RLM, Residential Low
Medium 0-4 du/ac for a 2.04 acre parcel on the west side of
Altiva Place, north of an SDG&E easement, see Exhibit "B". The
recommended General Plan Amendment will bring this site's General
Plan designation into conformance with its existing R-1-10,
Single Family Residential 10,000 square foot minimum lot size
Zoning. The proposed General Plan Amendment would reduce the
site's density potential from 16-30 units to a maximum of 8
units.
Staff believes it is more appropriate to change this site's
General Plan designation to bring it into conformance with its
Zoning rather than the reverse for a number of reasons. Steep
slopes along the westerly portion of this property will limit its
development potential. The existing 150 foot wide SDGhE
powerline easement separates this site from an approved multi-
family project at the intersection of Altiva Place and Alicante
Road. This SDG&E easement serves as an excellent boundary
between multi-family and single family development. All of the
lots north of this easement on the east side of Altiva Place have
been developed with, or will be developed with, single family
homes on large lots. This site is separated from the recently
approved Alga Hills project by a large ravine which will be left
in its natural state. In addition, the portion of the Alga Hills
project closest to this site consists of the single family
residences on the larger lots.
If the Commission and Council approved the recommended General
Plan Amendment all of the development on Altiva Place north of
the easement would consist of single family residences. Staff
believes that this would be more compatible than having multi-
family development and single family residences on opposite sides
of the same cul-de-sac.
The owner of this site has requested that this site's General
Plan designation be changed to RM, 4-8 du/ac rather than RLM, 0-4
du/ac and it's Zoning be kept at R-1-10000. He has submitted
preliminary plans for City review which would create eight 10,000
square foot lots on this two acre site. He feels that recent
actions by the City Council would make it impossible to get more
than six lots on this property if it had a General Plan
designation of RLM. Staff believes that his argument has some
merit, however R-1-10000 is the implementing Zone for the RLM
General Plan designation. In addition, if this site was
designated RM, at a later date a future property owner could
request a Zone Change to RD-M which is the implementing Zone for
the RM, 4-8 du/ac General Plan designation.
-3-
E
Exhibit "C" - Monroe Street
Staff is recommending that the Zoning on 12 lots with a combined
area of 2.23 acres be changed from R-3, Residential Multiple to
R-1-7500, Single Family Residential, 7,500 square foot minimum
lot size, see Exhibit "C". This Zone Change will bring the
properties Zoning into conformance with their General Plan
designation of RLM, Residential 0-4 du/ac. The Planning
Commission discussed these properties two years ago when an
application for a condominium conversion of two existing
apartment buildings at this site was submitted. The Commission
denied the request and approved a Resolution of Intention
directing staff to rezone the properties from R-3 to R-1. The
applicant appealed the Planning Commission's decision to the City
Council, then requested a continuance and finally withdrew the
application. Due to the applicant withdrawal and the amount of
projects being processed in the past few years, staff did not
follow through with the Resolution of Intention.
The proposed rezone from R-3 to R-1 would not adversely impact
the existing, older multi-family residences on the property.
These units are already non-conforming because they exceed the
density allowed by the RLM, 0-4 du/ac General Plan designation,
The recommended Zone Change would merely bring the zoning into
conformance with the General Plan.
Exhibit "D" - Costa Real Property - El Camino Real
Staff is recommending that this 6.09 acre site's zoning be
changed from R-1-10, Single Family Residential 10,000 square foot
minimum lot size to M-Q, Industrial with a Q (Qualified Overlay),
see Exhibit "D". This zone change would bring its zoning into
Conformance with it's PI, Planned Industrial General Plan
designation. The properties to the north, east and west are
zoned M-Q, while the property to the south is zoned OS, Open
Space.
The recommended zone change would have no impact on the existing
building on this site which appears to be a single family
residence being used as an office by the Costa Real Municipal
Water District,
Exhibit "E" - Carlsbad Raceway Area
As shown by Exhibit 'E", this site consists of five parcels with
a combined area of 124.2 acres. The Carlsbad Raceway is located
on the two northernmost lots which are zoned C-2, General
Commercial. The three southerly lots are part of the Carrillo
Ranch Master Plan and are zoned P-C, Planned Community. Staff is
recommending that all of these lots be rezoned to PM which is in
conformance with their General Plan designations of PM, Planned
Industrial and PM/O Planned Industrial/Office.
-4-
1 c
The recommended P-M, Planned Industrial zoning will not adversely
impact the Carlsbad Raceway or the vacant properties affected by
this change. The existing use, the Carlsbad Raceway, is
occupying this site th.rough a CUP, conditional use permit, that
would be valid even if this site was zoned P-M.
A revision to the Carrillo Ranch Master Plan, in process, will
eliminate the three southerly parcels from the Carrillo Ranch
Master Plan. Staff has already seen some preliminary development
proposals for these properties and the Carlsbad Raceway property.
Whether these properties develop separately or with the Raceway
property, they will be required to prepare a specific plan
because they are in the Palomar Airport Influence area.
These parcels are being removed from the Carrillo Ranch Master
Plan because they are separated from the rest of the Master Plan
area by Palomar Airport Road, a six lane arterial. In addition,
the industrial uses that will take place on these parcels does
not relate to the rest of the Master Plan which will be developed
with residential and neighborhood commercial uses.
General Plan - Local Coastal Program (LCP) Consistency
Carlsbad has six LCP segments (see Map "A") that combined, form
the City's Local Coastal Program. Although these segments have
been prepared and adopted at different times over the past ten
years, it has only been since October 1985 that the City has been
willing to adopt the two segments Mello I and I1 that cover a
majority of the City's Coastal Zone. Subsequently, west
Batiquitos Lagoon segment was approved in November 1985 and the
east Batiquitos Lagoon segment is still pending.
The fact of the City's refusal to adopt the Mello I and I1
segments led to a situation where two separate and distinct sets
of regulations governed all development in the Coastal Zone. The
City did not recognize the LCP and, therefore, approved
development consistent with the General Plan and Zoning. The
Coastal Commission on the other hand, based it's approvals on
consistency with the certified LCP's. Under this situation a
project could receive City approval, only to be denied by the
Coast a1 Commission.
In October of 1985, Carlsbad and the Coastal Commission adopted
amendments to the Mello I and I1 segments which resolved the long
standing conflicts. By adopting these LCP segments the City has
agreed to assume its State mandated responsibility to implement
and administer the LCP. Several of the implementing procedures
involve Planning Commission and City Council actions.
-5-
First, the City must amend its General Plan to incorporate the
LCP Land Use Policy Document. This document contains regulations
that deal with protecting coastal resources (e.g., agriculture,
wetlands, recreation, shoreline access, etc. 1. The document also
contains specific land use designations for each parcel in the
Coastal Zone. The Land Use Element Map of the General Plan must
also be amended to reflect the land use designations of the LCP.
Second, the City's Zoning Ordinance must be amended to
incorporate all of the LCP Ordinances and modifications. This
involves the adoption of several new ordinances (e-g., Coastal
Agricultural Overlay Zone, Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone, etc.). Also, it involves modifications to existing
ordinances to provide additional requirements or restrictions of
the LCP. Finally, in order to implement the LCP land uses, the
official zoning map will have to be modified to eliminate any
conflicts.
Third, the City must process "Clean-up" LCP amendments where the
LCP no longer reflects existing land use or it would allow uses
that would be incompatible with surrounding land uses. "Clean-
up" amendments would also involve changes to the land uses
designations to bring them into conformance with official actions
that have occurred subsequent to the certification of the LCP.
The Planning Department and the City Attorney's office will be
scheduling future Planning Commission hearings to consider
incorporating the LCP into the text of the City's General Plan
and Zone Code. The following proposed General Plan and LCP
amendments plus the recommended zone changes deal only with map
changes necessary to implement the LCP.
1) Exhibit "F" - Hughes Property, Highway 78 and Jefferson
Street
This is a General Plan amendment (GPA) from Intensive Regional
Commercial (RRI) to Open Space (OS) for that portion of the
property containing Buena Vista Creek in order to provide
consistency with the LCP. In addition, a zone change from C-2-Q
to OS for the same area would be required to implement the
proposed modification.
2) Exhibit "G" - First row of lots adjacent to Buena Vista
Lagoon along Jefferson Street
This is a recommendation that the Local Coastal Plan designation
of RLM, Residential Low Medium for the first row of lots adjacent
to Buena Vista Lagoon along Jefferson Street be changed to RMH,
Residential Medium High. This would bring the Local Coastal
Plan's designation into conformance with the properties existing
General Plan designation of RMH and Zoning of R-3. These
properties were given the RLM, 0-4 du/ac designation by the Local
Coastal Plan because of their steep slopes and location adjacent
to the sensitive wetlands of Buena Vista Lagoon,
-6-
-.
I L
However, staff believes that a number of recently approved
changes to the General Plan and new City ordinances will ensure
that these properties are developed in a site sensitive manner,
that will protect the wetland areas and preserve at least a
portion of the views from Jefferson Street overlooking Buena
Vista Lagoon. These ordinances along with recent changes to the
method used for calculating allowable density will make it
difficult for many of these properties to obtain any density
above the minimum allowed by the RMH, 8-15 du/ac General Plan
designation.
3) Exhibit "H" - Single family neighborhood around Buena Vista
Creek
This is a GPA from RMH to RLM to be consistent with the LCP. The
area is currently zoned R-1-10 which is consistent with the RLM
designation of the LCP. Almost all of these lots are currently
developed with detached single family homes.
4) Exhibit "I" - Lots on north side of Laguna Drive between
State and Roosevelt Streets
This is a recommended amendment to the Local Coastal Plan from RH
to RMH/O for the above-mentioned properties. The two
westerlymost parcels are located in an area covered by the
Village Redevelopment Plan which the Coastal Commission has
already adopted. The RMH/O General Plan designation would allow
these properties to be developed with multifamily or office uses.
Some of the properties have already been developed by office
uses, while others are occupied by single family residences.
5) Exhibit "J" - Ticor (APN 155-101-65 and 155-190-13) and
Native Sun (APN 203-010-21) located near the mouth of Buena v i s t TL ago on
This would be a GPA from RM/OS, Residential Medium/Open Space to
RLM, Residential Low Medium to be consistent with the LCP. It
would also involve a zone change from R-A to R-1-20 for the Ticor
parcels and from R-A to R-1-10 for the Native Sun parcel. The
proposed zone changes are consistent with the LCP and they will
provide for a gradual decrease in land use intensity for two low-
lying parcels adjacent to a sensitive coastal resource, Buena
Vista Lagoon.
6) Exhibit "K" - State Beach parking lot south of Oak Street
This would be a proposed LCP amendment to correct an apparent
drafting error. The LCP map shows a RH designation for the
parking area. The area is designated open space on the General
Plan which is consistent with both the use and the State
Department of Parks and Recreation ownership.
-7-
7) Exhibit "La - Area on the north side of Pine Avenue between
Lincoln Street and the railroad tracks
This would be a GPA from RVH (Residential Very High)to RH
(Residential High) to be consistent with the LCP and the Land Use
Element of the Carlsbad General Plan. Revisions to the General
Plan by the Citizen's Committee eliminated the RVH, Residential
Very High designation. This would also be a zone change from RD-
H to RD-M. These changes would not adversely impact the existing
apartment project, which would become a legal non-conforming use,
because the apartment has been built at a density in excess of
that permitted by the RH, General Plan designation.
8) Exhibit "M" - Southeast corner of Pi0 Pic0 and Magnolia (APN
205-270-30, 39, 33 portion)
This would be a GPA from RC/O (Recreation Commercial and Office)
to TS/O (Travel Service and Office) to be consistent with the
LCP. This action would also involve a zone change from R-3 to
CT-Q to provide consistent zoning. The existing R-3 zoning does
not allow for Travel Service type of uses.
9) Exhibits "N" and "0" - Area in the vicinity of Harrison and
Adams Streets and Chinquapin Avenue
This would involve a GPA from RLM to RM for the area bounded by
Locust Street, Adams Street and Chinquapin Avenue to the existing
RMH boundary east of Harrison Street. This amendment will also
require a zone change from R-1 to RD-M for consistency. The GPA
and zone change would provide consistency with the LCP. In
addition, a zone change for APN 206-120-1, 2, 10, 11, 23 and 24
from R-1 to RD-M will be required since both the GP and LCP
designates these parcels as RMH. Finally, a GPA will be required
for APN 206-120-13 and portions of 12 and 14 to change the
designation from RLM to RMH for conformance with the LCP. Also,
the zoning will require a change from R-1 to RD-M for all of the
parcels in the block bounded by Locust, Adams, and Harrison
Streets to bring their zoning into conformance with their RM and
RMH General Plan/Local Coastal Plan designations. This block
includes APN 206-120-12, 13, 14, 15. See Exhibit "N" for General
Plan amendments and Exhibit "0" for zone changes.
10) Exhibit "P" - Snug Harbor area
This will require a GPA from RM (Residential Medium) to RC
(Recreational Commercial) for the Snug Harbor area's designation
to be consistent with the LCP. This areas current zoning of RD-M
would not be consistent with the RC designation. To be
consistent with the LCP the zoning in this area would need to be
changed to R-T from RD-M.
-8-
r e
11) Exhibit 'Q".- Kelly Ranch Master Plan
This would be a GPA to bring the General Plan Map into
conformance with the Local Coastal Plan. The GPA's would
designate portions of the site near the lagoon as open space.
These areas were originally approved for development when the
City approved the Master Plan. However, subsequent Coastal
Commission action redesignated portions of Planning Areas A, C, D
and F to Open Space because of their resource value. The
developer has already agreed to the changes as a condition of the
issuance of a coastal development permit for the master plan. No
zone change is necessary since the entire site is zoned PC,
however, the master plan will need to be amended to reflect the
changes. See Exhibit "Q".
12) Exhibit "R" - Frontage lots, west side of Carlsbad Boulevard
between Shore Drive loo^
Staff is recommending that the zoning of these ten lots be
changed from R-2, Residential Duplex to R-1-7500, Residential
Single Family. This would bring the zoning of these lots into
conformance with their General Plan designation and Local Coastal
Plan designation of RLM, Residential Low Medium, 0-4 du/ac.
These properties involved are rather small in size for duplex
lots, 6,000 square feet. When developed with a duplex they have
density of 15.3 du/ac which would put them in the RH, Residential
High, 15-23 du/ac General Plan range. Of the ten lots involved,
six are developed with duplexes, one with a single family home
and three are vacant. They are surrounded by single family homes
and because of their small lot size, are forced to back directly
onto Carlsbad Boulevard. Because of these constraints, staff
believes it is more appropriate to change the zone to conform
with the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan designations rather
than the reverse.
13) Exhibit "S" - Property owned by the State, west side of
Carlsbad Boulevard between Cerzo and Manzano Drives
This would be GPA RLM (Residential Low Medium) to OS (Open Space)
and zone change R-1 (Single Family Residential) to OS (Open
Space) to conform to the LCP, which designates this site as open
space.
14) Exhibits "Tu and "U' - Paseo Del Norte between Palomar
Airport Road and Encinas Creek
This would be a proposed LCP amendment to provide consistency
with the General Plan. The LCP currently designates the entire
area east and west of Paseo Del Norte, except for the southwest
corner of Palomar Airport Road and Paseo Del Norte, as PI
(Planned Industrial). The City's General Plan, however,
-9-
designates the area for Travel Service and Office (TS/O). The
General Plan also designates the Caltrans maintenance yard as G
(Government). The proposed LCP amendment would provide
consistency with the General Plan and Specific Plan for the area,
as well as compatibility with existing development. It should be
noted the Coastal Commission has already granted several permits
consistent with the proposed LCP amendment.
The proposed amendment would also require a zone change from C-2
to CT-Q for the area north of the Caltrans property on both sides
of Paseo Del Norte. This would be consistent with the General
Plan's (Travel Service), TS designation for the area. All other
zoning is compatible with the General Plan designations. See
Exhibit "T" for zone change and Exhibit "U" for Local Coastal
Plan amendments.
15) Exhibit "V" - Sudan Mission
This would be a proposed LCP amendment from PI (Planned
Industrial) to RM (Residential Medium). The proposed amendment
would bring the LCP into conformance with the General Plan and
the existing residential development. The zoning for the
property is RDM-Q which is consistent with the RM General Plan
designation.
16) Exhibit "W" - Residential designated area north of
Cobblestone Sea Village
This proposed LCP amendment would modify the allowable
residential density for the area from RLM (0-4 du/ac) to RL (0-
1.5 du/ac) to conform to the General Plan. The amendment would
also create a new LCP designation. Currently the lowest
residential density category for the LCP is RLM.
Coastal staff has indicated that the RL designation (consistent
with the General Plan) may be more appropriate considering the
site is completely within the airport influence zone. The
proposed amendment would not require a zone change at this time
since the subject area is within the County. The appropriate
zone change would occur with annexation.
17) Exhibit "X" - Area south of Cobblestone Sea Village
This would be a GPA from RL to RLM to be consistent with the LCP.
The area doesn't have the same development constraints as that
mentioned in the previous amendment for the property to the
north. Additionally, future College Boulevard and Poinsettia
Lane would be adjacent to the area so that the area would not be
as isolated as once envisioned. Therefore, the RLM designation
of the LCP is probably more appropriate.
-10-
18) Exhibit "Yn - Hunt property along El Camino Real (APN 215-
020-13)
This would be a proposal to amend the LCP designation from PC
(Planned Community) to RM (4-8 du/ac). The Carlsbad General Plan
does not include the PC designation, Instead the PC is a zoning
designation which is generally applied to large parcels (100 acre
minimum). Staff has discussed this inconsistency with the
Coastal Commission staff. They have agreed that since the LCP
requires development pursuant to the PC zone (with special
coastal regulations), the LCP designation could be modified to be
consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed action would not require a zone change because the
land is still in the County. It is presumed that with annexation
the property will be rezoned PC in conformance with the
requirements of the LCP.
19) Exhibit "2" - East side of Avenida Encinas north of Marie
Callenders Restaurant
This would be a GPA from RS (Regional Service) to PI (Planned
Industrial) to provide consistency with both the LCP and the
existing office use. A zone change will not be required since
the site is zoned PM consistent with the proposed GPA.
20) Exhibit "AA" - Northeast corner of Avenida Encinas and
Palomar Airport Road
This would be a proposed LCP amendment from PI (Planned
Industriallto TS (Travel Sevice) to reflect the General Plan and
zoning on the site. In addition, the recent restaurant
developments (McDonalds and Marie Callenders) were approved by
the Coastal Commission, Those developments would not be
consistent with the LCP's PI designation but would be with the
General Plan's TS designation. The area is zoned CT-Q consistent
with the existing General Plan designation.
21) Exhibit "BB" - Occidental Master Plan, northwest of 1-5 and
Poinsettia Lane
This would be a proposed LCP amendment to change the designation
from TS/N (Travel Service/Neighborhood Commercial) to TS/C
(Travel Service/General Commercial). The area is currently
developing with a mix of travel service uses (motels) and general
commercial (auto dealerships and medical offices). The proposed
amendment is consistent with recent Coastal Development permit
approvals by the Coastal Commission to allow the general
commercial uses. There are no pending proposals for Neighborhood
Commercial. Furthermore, the southeast corner of 1-5 and
Poinsettia Lane is designated for Neighborhood Commercial thus
providing an area that would satisfy adjacent demands. The
existing zoning is consistent with the proposed designation.
-11-
r 1
22) Exhibit "CC" - Southwest corner of 1-5 and Poinsettia Lane
This proposed LCP amendment from TS/N (Travel Service/
Neighborhood) to TS/C (Travel Service/Commercial) would bring the
LCP into conformity with both the General Plan and recent Coastal
Commission permit approvals. The existing zoning of C-2 is
consistent with the proposed designation.
23) Exhibit "DD" - Spinnaker Hills
This would be a proposed LCP amendment from RM to RLM to bring
the LCP into conformance with both the exisitng General Plan,
zoning and the existing single-family detached development. The
existing R-1 zoning is also consistent with the existing General
P lan designat ion.
24) Exhibit "EE" - Commercial area, northwest of Alga Road and
~l Camino Real.
This would be two separate actions to establish the boundary
between commercial uses on the south and residential uses on the
north side of the future westward extension from El Camino Real
of Dove Lane. The first action would be a GPA from C (General
Commercial) to RM (Residential Medium 4-8 du/ac) for the portion
of the area north of Dove Lane which is designated General
Commercial (C) on the General Plan, The second action would
involve a proposed LCP amendment from RM to C to extend the
commercial area on the northwest side of Alga Road and El Camino
Real northward to Dove Lane. The area is currently in the
County so that upon annexation it would be rezoned consistent
with the proposed amendments,
25) Exhibit "FF" - South of Alga Road between El Camino Real and
Manzanita Drive
This would be a GPA from RMH (Residential Medium High) to RM
(Residential Medium) to provide consistency with the LCP. The
RD-M zoning is consistent with the proposed change.
26) Exhibits "GG" and "HH" - South end of Batiquitos Drive
(Savage and Lyman Properties)
This would be a GPA from RMH/OS (Residential Medium EIigh/Open
Space) to RM/OS (Residential Medium/Open Space) to provide
consistency with the LCP. It should be noted that the General
Plan currently designates the flatter developable portions of the
site as open space and designates the steep slopes for RMH uses.
Based on the General Plan the development potential of the site
would be severely limited.
-1 2-
. I
The LCP designates the entire site RM except for a continous open
space strip for the steep slopes on the western portion of the
site. In addition, the LCP contains specific incentives for
developing the site. The LCP would allow a maximum of 12 du/ac
but requires that 2/3 of the development be concentrated on 50%
of the site furthest from the lagoon. The LCP also restricts
development on steep slopes.
In addition to the GPA, a zone change would be required to
provide consistency. The site is currently zoned L-C (Limited
Control). To provide consistency with the LCP, a zone change to
RD-M for the flatter areas and OS for the steep slopes is
proposed.
27) Exhibit '11" - East and west corner of Avenida Encinas at
Cannon Road
This would be a zone change from R-A (Residential Agricultural)
to PM (Planned Industrial) to provide consistency with both the
LCP and the General Plan designation of PI (Planned Industrial).
28) Exhibit "JJ" - Cannon Lake Park
This would be a zone change from RDM-Q (Residential Density
Multiple - Overlay) to OS (Open Space) to be consistent with the
open space designation of both the LCP and the General Plan.
29) Exhibit "KK" - SDG&E property, northwest corner of 1-5 and
Cannon Road
This would be a zone change from C-2 (General Commercial) to CT-Q
(Tourist Commercial - Q Overlay) to be consistent with the TS
(Travel Service) designation of both the LCP and the General
Plan.
30) Exhibit "LL" - Southeast corner of Magnolia Avenue and
Jefferson Street intersection
This would be a zone change from R-1 (Single Family Residential)
to RD-M (Residential Density Multiple) to provide consistency
with the RMH designation of both the LCP and the General Plan.
This zone change pertains to five parcels ranging in size from
6,875 to 19,094 square feet. The proposed RD-M zone would allow
development at densities consistent with the RMH General Plan
designat ion.
31 1 General Plan amendment to the LCP - Density Ranges
This would be a proposed amendment to revise the LCP residential
density ranges to correspond with the residential density ranges
of the General Plan. The LCP residential density ranges reflect
those that were in effect in 1980. Since that time the City has
-13-
amended the General Plan to lower all residential density. The
proposed LCP amendment would provide consistency with the General
Plan. In addition, the amendment would allow development in the
Coastal Zone at the same intensity as that in other portions of
the City.
If the Planning Commission determines that the above LCP
amendments are warranted and, therefore, necessary to implement
the City's Local Coastal Program, it should establish the State
mandated six-week review period. During the period which would
begin on July 30, 1986 and end September 10, 1986 all interested
parties including other agencies would have the opportunity to
comment on the merits of the proposed amendments. Staff would
then present the proposed LCP amendments and comments to the
City Council. After this review period is completed, staff will
also present to the Planning Commission a summary of the
comments received.
In conclusion, staff realizes that this is a rather lenghty,
complex report with recommendations that affect many properties.
In an attempt to simplify this matter staff has prepared four
charts "A" - "D" which summarize all of the proposed changes.
The Commission should keep in mind that the City Council has
already agreed to many of these changes when they adopted the
Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan. The recommended changes in this
report should bring the Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element
Map, Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan and Carlsbad Zoning Maps into
conformance. This will put an end to years of confusion as to
which map someone should refer, to determine a parcels
designation and development potential.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that the projects outside
the Coastal Zone will not have a significant effect on the
environment and issued Negative Declarations on July 12, 1986.
The projects within the Coastal Zone are exempt from
environmental review per Section 15265 A1 of the California
Environmental Quislity Act.
