On January 12, 1994, the City of Carlsbad's proposed LCP amendment LCPA 91-02 (Poinsettia Shores Master Plan) was received in the San Diego area office. The submittal was not deemed complete and filed until February 26, 1994. On
January 25, 1994, the City of Carlsbad's proposed LCP amendment LCPA 93-02
(Affordable Housing Density Bonuses) was received in the San Diego area
office. The submi ttal was deemed complete, as submitted, pursuant to Section

use plan or implementation elements and local governments are limited to submitting only three major amendment requests in any calendar year. Therefore, LCP amendments involving land use plan revisions must be processed within 90 days; LCP amendments involving implementation plan changes must be
processed within 60 days and combined land use plan and implementation plan
amendments must be acted on by the Commission within 90 days of its filing.
In order to be heard within the allotted time period, the amendment requests would have to be agendized for Commission hearing at the April 1994 hearings.
Section 30517 of the Coastal Act and Section 13535(c) of the Regulations

reviewed at the same meeting as one amendment package.

time limit for a period not to exceed one year.
