Dear Michael,
The attached check for $1500 for a Local Coastal Plan Amendment and
the information regarding the acreage of recreational commercial properties within the coastal portion of Carlsbad should make this application complete. This application was for a General Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Plan Amendment for a 1.12 acre parcel on the north side of Agua Hedionda Lagoon off Adams Avenue. Our
client is proposing to change the designation of this site from RC,
Recreational Commercial, to RM, Residential Medium.
We are aware that the Growth Management Ordinance requires a vote
of the Citizens to increase density within Carlsbad. However we
are proposing to process this amendment per the recently approved
City Council Policy dealing with the allocation of excess dwelling
units within a quadrant. Section 5 of that policy is especially
applicable to this project. As we have discussed in the letter
attached to our submittal we believe that four residential units on
this property would have far less impact then would any
recreational use permitted by the site's existing Recreational
Commercial designation.
It is our understanding that there are excess dwelling units in the
Northeast quadrant. During our previous conversations with you, you
indicated that the Planning Department would not require a vote of
the citizens for a General Plan Amendment on this site that would
permit the ultimate development of a 4 unit residential project
that woulti be compatible with the surrounding residential
development.
If I have misstated anything or you disagree with any thing in this
letter please contact me immediately. We appreciate the time you
have spent with us and our client discussing this proposal.
