P.C. AGENDA OF: August 16, 1995
Application complete date: July 7, 1995
Project Planner: Eric Munoz
SUBJECT: LCPA 95-03 - AVIARA LCP AMENDMENT - Request for a Major Local
Coastal Program Amendment to reflect three recently approved minor master
plan amendments to the Aviara Master Plan (the implementing ordinance for
the Aviara property) located north of the Batiquitos Lagoon, east of the 1-5
freeway, within the Coastal Zone in Local Facilities Management Zone 19.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3787,
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of LCPA 95-03, based upon the findings and subject to the
conditions contained therein.
11. INTRODUCTION
This application involves a Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment to acknowledge and
consolidate three recently approved minor master plan amendments to the Aviara Master
Plan, a coastal zone master plan north of the Batiquitos Lagoon and east of the 1-5 freeway.
The three recently approved master plan amendments, MP 177(J), MP 177(M) and MP
177(N) made minor changes to the development standards of three planning areas (PA’s 13,
15 and 28) and a trail re-alignment affecting Planning Area 7. All three master plan
amendments have already received final City approvals. Since only minor changes to the
implementing ordinance (Aviara Master Plan) have been approved, no changes or impacts
to LCP land use policies will result.
The proposed LCP amendment will bring all Aviara land use regulations into conformance
with each other (Master Plan, General Plan and LCP), as required by State law. Since no
development is proposed, and the land use regulation changes are minor (and already
approved by the City), there will be no impacts to public facilities or services or the City’s
Growth Management Program.

111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
A brief summary of minor master plan amendments MP 177(J), MP 177(M) and MP 1770
follows:
* MP 177(J): PA 28 has an approval for 61 single family homes. MP 177(J) allows
up to 60% of those homes to increase in height from 22 to 30 feet as measured to
the peak of the structure. MP 177(J) was approved on March 7, 1995.
* MP 177(M): PA 15 has an approval for a 9 lot/54 unit residential townhome project.
It had a maximum building height of 3 storied35 feet with no more than 30% of all
structures allowed higher than 24 feet. MP 177(M) eliminated the 24 foot height
restriction and lowered the overall maximum building height from 35 to 30 feet. MP
177(M) was approved on February 7, 1995.
* MP 177(N): Two planning areas were affected by this amendment. First, a trail re-
alignment was allowed that relocated a trail segment from the west edge of PA 7 to
the east and north edges of PA 7. The new trail alignment eliminates conflicts with
golf balls coming off the adjacent golf course segment and links up better with the
Aviara Oaks School. Secondly, front yard setbacks were reduced from 25 feet to 20
feet (for side loaded garages only) within PA 13. MP 1770 was approved on May
17, 1995.
Planning Issues
A. Is the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment consistent with the zoning and
General Plan of the subject master plan property?
Iv. ANALYSIS
A. ZonindGeneral - Plan Consistency
The zoning of the subject properties is implemented by the Aviara Master Plan. The
existing, approved Aviara Master Plan is, in turn, consistent with the City’s General Plan and
in fact implements the General Plan and the LCP. By virtue of their approval, the three
minor master plan amendments covered by this LCP amendment do not conflict with the
General Plan or the Aviara Master Plan. As minor development standard modifications to
the four above outlined planning areas, no changes or impacts to coastal land use policies
or practices are involved. The approval of this LCP amendment is, in fact, necessary to
bring the zoning, General Plan and LCP for the subject sites into conformance with each
other and will formally acknowledge minor master plan amendments MP 177(J), MP 177(M)
and MP 177(N) from a coastal regulations/LCP standpoint.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that the proposed LCP amendment is categorically
exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines
(Class 5) which consists of minor alterations in land use limitations which do not result in
any changes in land use or density. A Notice of Exemption will be issued by the Planning
Director upon project approval by the City Council.
