BACKGROUND The Carlsbad Local Coastal Program consists of six geographic segments. Five of the segments have certified LCPs: the Carlsbad Mello I LCP segment contains about 2,000 acres; the Carlsbad Meilo I1 LCP segment includes approximately 5,300 acres; the East Batiquitos LagoodHunt Properties LCP segment has about 1,000 acres; the West Batiquitos LagoodSammis Properties segment contains 200 acres and the Village Redevelopment Area has approximately 100 acres. The Agua Hedionda Lagoon LCP segment is comprised of approximately 1,100 acres and remains as a deferred certification area pending submittal of an implementation program. Pursuant to special legislation, the LCP was first adopted under prescribed time limits. However, the final steps of approval (“effective certification”) were not taken due to work constraints and subsequent disagreements over certain policies relating to preservation of environmentally sensitive areas and agricultural lands. That is, the City declined to accept the Commission’s adopted LCP. In the intervening years, the four additional LCP segments were created but, again, absent any effective certification. Thus, the Coastal Commission continued to issue coastal development permits based on the certified LCP. In 1996, necessary actions were taken to finalize both City adoption of its LCP and ? /T Carlsbad LCP Ameilument 1 -97A & B Hearing Notice September 24, 1997 Page 2 complete the administrative steps necessary to assume permit authority. As of October 2 1, 1996, the City is issuing coastal development permits for all of its coastal zone except for the Agua Hedionda Lagoon planning area. ’ This LCP amendment package includes four different amendments, involving both land use plan and implementation plan revisions. LCPA #96- 1 1 involves a land use redesignation and rezoning of a .5 acre parcel located at the northeast corner of Surfside Lane and Island Way, referred to as the Seapointe Expansion site, from Office to Travel Recreation/Commercial. LCPA #96-02 involves a land use redesignation and implementation revisions for Aviara Planning Area 23; the LCP amendment would revise it from Neighborhood Commercial to Residential Medium Density development. LCPA #96-13 involves two unrelated amendments again to the Aviara Master Plan. The first portion of LCPA #96-13 provides for a new planning area, identified as Planning Area 33/Azure Cove, to be annexed into the master plan. Planning Area 33 is approximately 40 acres and has been previously approved by the Commission for 72 single-family residences in a project originally known as Brocatto. The fourth amendment request, LCPA #97-03, seeks to add Chapter 21.83 to the municipal code and provides regulations for child day care facilities throughout the City. The second portion of LCPA #96-13 is referred to as the Aviara Lot 308 Open Space Tradeoff; it has been reclassified as Carlsbad LCP Amendment 1-97B and Commission staff is requesting the Commission grant a time extension for the review of this item only. The specific amendment involves a requested land use redesignation of a 1.2 acre site from Open Space to Residential on Aviara Lot 308 in Planning Area 1 and a related land use redesignation of a 14.4 acre site from Residential to Open Space on Aviara Lot 36 in Planning Area 25.
