Re: City of Carlsbad Application for Local Coastal Program Amendment -
Dear Mr. Munoz,
LCPA 95-031Aviara Planning Areas 7, 13, 15 and 28
Thi s offi ce received several i tems representing the above-descri bed request on
October 27, 1995. Pursuant to Section 13553 of the Commission's Code of
Regulations, the Executive Director has reviewed the transmittal and
determined it is not in proper order or legally adequate to comply with the
requirements of Public Resources Code Section 30510(b). Therefore, as of this date, this item is not deemed to be properly submitted. Most of the outstanding items are background or procedural materials which should be readi ly available from your fi les. Pursuant to your request to process this amendment with the Aviara Four Seasons Resort LCPA already submitted to this office, we would need the identified materials to be submitted here no later
than next Thursday, November 9th. If the materials are received by then, we
will reassess whether or not this amendment can be "batched" with the Aviara Resort amendment.
To demonstrate compliance with the public participation requirements of the Coastal Act and to provide us with the names/addresses of the parties we must notify for the Commission hearings, the submittal must include copies of all the speakers' slips and any written correspondence on these items that have been generated at the local hearings. received at the local hearings initially on the minor master plan amendments or the more recent LCPA action at the Planning Commission or City Council need
to be forwarded to us. The submittal does include the minutes from the 8/16/95 Planning Commission meeting; but, we still need to receive the City Council minutes for the 10/17/95 hearing. In addition, to again evidence
compliance with the Act's public participation requirements, the submittal
must include a copy of the hearing notices and mailing lists for the LCPA
95-03 Counci 1 and P1 anni ng Commi ssion meet! ngs.
This means that any public comments
Relative to the exhibits and relevant amendment documents, the submittal does
not appear to include Exhibit "A", dated January 4, 1995, for the Planning
Area 28/MP 177(J) revisions and there did not appear to be any exhibits or draft amendment document for the Planning Area 15/MP 177(M) revisions. Could you please forward those materials to us? Based on the submittal, the draft
amendments we did receive appear to be revised exhibits and excerpts from the

sections were apparently highlighted in bold print in the original documents. However, after xeroxing, it is uncertain which sections have been revised and the highlighting is no longer clearly discernable. I am concerned that we be able to accurately and completely review a1 1 proposed revisions. is there a strike-out and underline version that we could use to review the proposed amendment or some other means to assure that we are accurately evaluating the amendment request?
It appears that amended
Therefore,
In terms of supplementary information, it was noted that there were two computer-generated visual perspectives on Planning Area 28. Were there any
other visual analyses done on that planning area or Planning Area 15 that
should be forwarded to us as background information? In particular, was there
any sightline analysis completed on Planning Area 28 from areas along the
lagoon or from Interstate 5 and La Costa Avenue?
to us.
If so, please provide them
Lastly, it had been our understanding that this LCP amendment was going to
have included all trail alignment amendments for the Aviara Master Plan. In
particular, we were expecting realignment amendments for the trails in
Planning Areas 25, 26 North, 26 South and 27 to be submitted. What is the status of those revisions at the local level? It would seem to make sense to us to process an amendment on the trai 1 system overall, incorporating a1 1 the proposed revisions to date, at one time. In addition, based on various meetings with City staff and subsequently with Aviara representatives, we have received conflicting direction as to whether or not any of the community trails and the golf course trail, in particular, are part of the city-wide public trail plan and system. trails within the citywide public trail system. Furthermore, there needs to
be clarification as to when trail improvements are required to be made and by
whom within the Aviara master planning area. We would appreciate getting the
City's responses on these trail issues in writing.
Please verify the status of Aviara community
Although this item may ultimately be assigned to someone else as a result of
workload and other factors, the lanner who will be resDonsible for this
amendment for the time being you have any questions.
