LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT
WEST BATIQUITOS LAGOON SEGMENT
OCTOBER 20,1993
LCPA 91-02
Approved by Coastal Commission
May 12, 1994
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT
WEST BATIQUITOS LAGOON SEGMENT
This is an amendment to the West Batiquitos Lagoon Local Coastal Program within the City of
Carlsbad's Coastal Zone.
The amendment is required due to the change in land use as proposed by the Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan which is located within the West Batiquitos Lagoon LCP area. The proposed
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan was previously known as the Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park
(BLEP) Master Plan. The BLEP Master Plan was originally approved by the City Council in
October of 1985. The BLEP Master Plan was prepared to facilitate the development of a private
university with associated research and development facilities. The Master Plan also included a
variety of housing types as well as recreational commercial, neighborhood commercial, travel service commercial, time-share units and a hotel with conference facilities.
Since the approval of the BLEP Master Plan, the only development that has OCCUK~~ is in
Planning Area J. There are currently 70 single family homes built within Planning Area J and an
additional 5 custom home sites remaining vacant, also in Planning Area J. The remainder of the
Master Plan area is currently undeveloped.
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan proposes to eliminate the university and research and
development uses on the east side of the AT & SF railroad right-of-way and develop this area
with a variety of residential products in a gated community, except the Planning Areas A-3, A4 and J shall remain open and ungated. Land uses west of the railroad right-of-way will remain substantially as previously approved.
A. LANDUSES
The following are the proposed land use "Planning Areas", each providing a brief
description. The "Planning Areas" correspond directly with the planning areas approved
with the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. All development in these planning areas are
subject to the provisions of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan as adopted by the Carlsbad
City Council and certified by the California Coastal Commission. No development
inconsistent with the Master Plan shall be permitted. The Planning Areas identified below
will replace the former planning areas established by the BLEP Master Plan. See the attached map for the location of the Planning Areas described below.
1. PLANNING AREA A-1
Planning Area A-1 is located north of Avenida Encinas near the intersection of
Avenida Encinas and Windrose Circle. It has a gross area of 9.8 acres and a net
developable area of 8.4 acres. Planning Area A-1 has a land use designation of RM and allows for the development of 41 single family detached residences (plus
any density bonus units as provided in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan).

3.
Pfanning Area A-2 is located south of Aven,,d Encinas within the interior of the
Circle formed by Windrose Circle. It has a gross area of 1.5 acres and a net
developable area of 11.0 acres. Planning Area A-2 has a land use designation of RM and allows for the development of 50 singk-family detached residences (plus any density bonus units as provided in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan).
NMO AREA A-3
Planning Area A-3 is located west of Planning Area A-2, east of the railroad right-
of-way and adjacent to Avenida Encinas. It has a gross planning area of 10.2 acres
and a net devebpable area of 8.6 acres. PIanning Area A-3 has a land use designation of RM and allows for the development of 51 single-family detached
residences (plus any density bonus units as provided in the Poinsettia Shores
Master PIan).
4. PLA"lNG AREA A-4
Planning Area A4 is located south of Planning Area A-3, east of the railroad
right-pf-way and adjacent to Batiquitor Lagoon. It has a gross planning area of
14.7 acres and a net developable area of 14.7 acres. Planning Area A4 has a
land use designation of RM and allows for the development of 62 single-family
detached residences (plus any density bonus units as provided in the Poinsettia
Shorn Master Plan). Planning Area A-4 is a lagoon bluff-top area which is
subject to special development standards to address visual impacts to the lagoon.
5. PLAN" GrnEAB-f
Planning Area B-1 is located north of Avenida Encinas and south of Lakcshore
Gardens Mobile Home Park It has a gross planning area of 20.9 acres and a net developable area of 20.2 acres. Planning Area B-1 bas a land use designation of RM and allows for the development of 161 clustered single family detached
residences (plus any density bonus units as provided in the Poinsettia Shores - Master Plan). -.
The cluster single-family units are organized in group of four air space ownership units located on common property owned by the homeownen association. These units will share in common a courtyard and private driveway leading to the
individual unit garage, front yard area and the area fronting the adjacent street($).
Outdoor private use areas will also be provided for each home, within the common
Property9
2
. ,
This product type provides many of the amenities found in standard single-family
residential design including: no common walls between units, private rear yards,
garages, and increased privacy. The shared common property and shared driveway
allow for clustered placement of the units around a central driveway/courtyard. This effectively reduces the number of units requiring direct street frontage and provides additional spacing between units across the drive. This results in a street
scene which exhibits only two units in a row spaced ten feet apart in contrast to
standard design practice under the Planned Development Ordinance which allows
an unlimited number of units spaced ten feet apart with certain design criteria for
single story elements.
6. PLANNING AREA B-2
Planning Area B-2 is located south of and adjacent to Windrosc Circle in the
interior of Navigator Circle. Planning Area B-2 has a gross area of 29 acres with
a net developable area of 2.6 acres. This Planning Area has a land use designation
of RM and allows for the development of 16 clustered single family detached
homes on common lots (plus any density bonus units as provided in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan). The cluster single family product is discussed above under Planning Area B-1.
7. PLANNIN GAREAC
Planning Area C is located immediately east of Navigator Circle, to the northeast
of the previously developed single family homes of Planning Area J and
immediately west of Interstate 5. Planning Area C has a gross area of 11.2 acres
and a net developable area of 9.6 acres. Planning Area C has a land use designation of RM and allows for the development of 70 multi-family dwelling
units (plus any density bonus units as provided in the Poinsettia Shores Master
Plan). These may include carriage-type units with garage space below portions of
the living area in each unit, located on property owned in common.
8. PLANNING AREAD
Planning Area D is located immediately east of the ATBiSF Railway right-of-way
to the south of Lakeshore Gardens Mobile Home Park. Planning Area D has a
gross area of 4.4 acres and a net developable area of 4.0 acres. Planning Area D
is designated as the Master Plan's affordable housing site, unless an offkite location
is designated through an Mordable Housing Agreement between the property
owner and the City per the provisions of Chapter VII of this Master Plan.
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan requires that 90 affordable housing units be provided either on-site within Village D or ofiite as indicated in Chapter VII of
the Master Plan.
3
Planning Area E is located east of and adjacent to the AT&SF Raihvay right-of- way and north of and adjacent to Aveaida Enhas. Planning Area E has a gross
area of 0.9 acres and a net developable area of 0.5 acres; it has a land use
designation of RM. This Planning Area is intended to pnwide recreational vehicle
storage for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan residents.
Per the requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance, 20 quare €ect per unit of recreational vehicle storage space shall be provided for aIl units. The
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan allows for 451 market rate dwelling units, plus an additional 2 market rate units with the proposed density bonus for a total of 474
market rate units. The 90 affordable housing units are not included in this total
since the residents of these units would be less likely to awn luxury recreation vehicles. Therefore, the total requirement for the Master Plan is 9,840 square feet
of recreational vehicle parking (20 x 474 = 9,480). The proposed RV site is .5 net
developable acres or 21,780 square feet in size, 'Xl& will more than satisfy the
required minimum.
This RV storage area shall bc operated and maintained by the Poinsettia Shores
Master Homeownen' Association. Recreational Vehicle storage shall be available by use of a paved access road prior to issuance of the first Certikate of
Occupancy for any residential unit in the Master Plan. If them b space available
within the RV storage area, nonresidents of the Master Plan may be allowed to store their recreational vehicles in this area The feu charged to these nonresidents shall be ured to pay for the maintenance of the RV storage area. As
the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan is developed, residents of the Master Plan area
shall haw priority over nonruidents €or storage space Within the Recreational
vehicle storago Area
10.
Planning Area F is tocated at the far northwest comer of the Master Plan area west of the AT&SF RaiIway right-of-way. Thit P1a-g Area has a gross area of
11. acres and a net davelopabk area of 20.7 acres,
Planning Area F carries a Non-Residcndal Rcseme OyRR) aepetlll Plan designation. Planning Area F is an "unplanned" area, for which land uses wiU be
determhcd at a later date when more specif3c planah6 h carried out for areas
mrt of the railroad right-of-way. A future Major Master Plan Amendment will be
rapid prior to further development approvals for Planning Area F, and shall include a LCP Amendment with associatad emrironmental review, if determitlod
necessary.
The intent of the NRR designation is not to limit the range of potential future
uses entirely to non-residential, howcver, since the City's current general plan does
not contain an "unplanned" designation, NRR was determined to bc appropriate at
this time. In the future, if the Local Coastal Program Amendment has not been ,
4
processed, and the City develops an "unplanned" General Plan designation, then
this site would likely be redesignated as "unplanned". Future uses could include,
but are not limited to: commercial, residential, office, and other uses, subject to
future review and approval.
As part of any future planning effort, the Citj and Developer must consider and
document the need for the provision of lower cost visitor accommodations or
recreational facilities (i.e. public park) on the west side of the railroad.

POINSE'XTIA SHORES MASTER PLAN, BUT WITHIN 'THIS AMENDMENT.
THE POINSETIIA SHORES MASTER PLAN -- mrs LCP AMEM)MENT INCLUDES
la WEST BATXOUITOS LAGOO N
Public Resow Code Section OZ(c) identifies Batiquitos Lagoon as one of 19
priority wetlands and limits the types of us- and activity that may occur there.
This area is Open Space (0-S) in order to preserve the €unction of the lagoon and
the immediately adjacent uplands as a viable wetland ecosystem and habitat for resident and migratory wildlife. Uses shall be limited to activities related to habitat
enhanqment, educational and scientific nature study, passive recreation which will
have no significant adverse impacts on habitat values, and aquaculture having no significant adverse effect on natural processes or scenic quality.
B. AGRICULTURALLANDS
(approximately 100 acres originally identified as non-prime, OP which 60 remain.)
Noa-prime agricultural lands identified during the review of the Batiquitos Lagoon
Educational Park Plan are shm on Map C. Of the original 100 acrea, 60 acres remain undeveloped 40 acres have been converted to urban USCII in accocdancc with the
provisions of the West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties Inca1 Coastal Program and
the Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park Master Plan. An agricultural conversion
mitigation fee of $5,O0O/acrc was set by the California Coastal Commhsion with approval
oE the project. At the same time, the State Coastal Commission agrd to acccpt a bond
and recorded deed restriction securing the balance of payment due for conversion of the remaining 60 acres of agricultural land. In September of 1986, $200,000 was paid by the property owner to tbe State Coastal Conservancy €or conversion of 40 acres to urban uses
in accordance with the project conditions.
ThC remaining 60 acres of land may be converted to urban uses as specified in this plan
and the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan, upon the payment of an agricultural conversion
mitigation fee. This fee implements Public Resources Code Sec. 01715. Unconverted
agricuitural land may be used for purposes specified in the Carlsbad EA zone, CMC,
21.07, or the Coastal Agricultural zone if adopted pursuant to the "Me110 II" segment of the Carlsbad LCP as amended.

Conversion of non-prime agricultural lands s,,all be permitted upon payment of an agricultural conversion fee which shall mitigate the loss of agricultural resources by
preserving or enhancing other important coastal resources. The amount of the fee shall
be determined by the City Council at the time it considers the proposal for development
and shall reflect the per acre cost of preserving prime agricultural land pursuant to Option
1 of the "Mello 11" portion of the Carlsbad LCP, as amended, but shall not be less than
$5,000 nor more than $10,000 per acre. All mitigation fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the State Coastal Conservancy Fund and shall be expended by the
State Coastal Conservancy in the following order of priority:
Restoration of natural resources and wildlife habitat in Batiquitos Lagoon;
Development of an interpretive center at Buena Vita Lagoon;
Restoration of beaches managed for public use in the coastal zone in the City of
Carlsbad;
Purchase of agricultural lands for continued agricultural production within the
Carlsbad Coastal Zone as determined by the Carlsbad City Council;
Agricultural improvements which will aid in continuation of agricultural production
within the Carlsbad Coastal Zone, as determined by the Carlsbad City Council.
The fee for the remaining 60 acres of non-prime agricultural land within the
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan was set with the approval of the Batiquitos Lagoon
Educational Park Master Plan at $5,000 per acre.
GRADING AND EROSION CONTROL
Because the area is located close to environmentally sensitive.habitats, development shall
conform to the following grading and erosion standards:
1. Drainage and runoff shall be controlled so as not to exceed the capacity of the
downstream drainage facilities or to produce erosive velocities and appropriate
measures shall be taken on and/or off the site to prevent the siltation of the
Batiquitos Lagoon and other environmentally sensitive areas.
Grading activity shall be prohibited during the rainy season from October 1st to
April 1st of any year. Grading during this period may occur with the approval of both the City Engineer and the California Coastal Commission.
