11. PROJECT DESC RIPTIO NANDB ACKGROUND
During this year, two affordable housing zone code amendments (i.e. ZCA 93-05, Senior Citizen
Housing and ZCA 92-04, Second Dwelling Units) were approved by the Carlsbad City Council
as follows:
ZCA 93-05 - Amended the density provisions for Senior Citizen Housing projects
to conform to State Density Bonus Law and established locational guidelines and
design and development standards which respond to senior citizen needs, and
ZCA 92-04 - Modified the processing requirements and development standards for
second dwelling units for purposes of encouraging and enabling the development
of second dwelling units in the residential zones of the City.
In that the City's Zoning ordinance as approved by the California Coastal Commission functions
as the implear#rsm g ordinance for the City's Local Coastal Program (LCP), the previously
approved xme code amendments also require an amendment to the LCP. This Local Coastal
Program Amendaent (LCPA) is a follow-up discretionary action to the previously approved zone
code amendments and will result in consistency between the City's Zoning Ordinance and the
LCP. Upon approval of this Local Coastal Program Amendment, it will be submitted to the
California Coastal Commission for approval.
A six week public comment period was pmvided for the proposed Local Coastal Program
Amendment beginning on October 20, 1994 and ending on December 2, 1994. A notice was
published in the Carlsbad Sun and the Blade Citizen. A copy of the notice was also mailed to
the interested parties list maintained by the City. No comments were received.

1. Will this Local Coastal Program Amendment affect other sections of Carlsbad’s certified
Local coastal Programs?
2. Will this Local Coastal Program Amendment significantly impact coastal resources?
DISCUSS ION
Any proposal to develop Senior Citizen Housing or Second Dwelling Unit(s) within the Coastal
Zone, pursuant to the amended zoning regulations shall be required to comply with all other
applicable Local Coastal Program policies and provisions. Therefore, no effects on other LCP
sections are anticipated.
This proposed LCPA, which will add new zoning provisions applicable to Senior Citizen Housing
and Second Dwelling Unit projects, is not anticipated to result in significant impacts to mad resources. As discussed above, any Senior Citizen Housing or Second Dwelling Unit project
proposed within the Coastal Zone, shall be required to comply with all applicable LCP policies
and provisions, including those dealing with the protection of coastal rcsources.
IV. ENVIRONMENT AL RE VIEW
Negative Declarations were approved for the two Zone Code Amendments which are the topic
of this LCPA as follows:
ZCA 93-05 - Senior Citizen Housing - April 19, 1994; and
ZCA 92-04 - Second Dwelling Units - June 14, 1994.
This project (LCPA 94-02) is a follow up legislative action to these zone code amendments.
Since LCPA 94-02 will not revise the environmental fmdings of the previously approved
Negative Declarations, the Planning Director has determined that this project will not have a
significant em on the environment and, therefore has issued a Notice of Prior Compliance on
October 19, 1W. -
