Re: City of Carlsbad Local Coastal Program Amendment 3-99
Dear Mr. Munoz:
Thank you for your October 6,1999 submittal of the City of Carlsbad’s third LCP
amendment package for the 1999 calendar year. The package includes five separate
actions taken by the City to amend the City’s Zoning Ordinance and LCP Implementation
Plan. Section 13553 of the California Code of Regulations states “[aln amendment to a
certified LCP or LRDP together with all necessary attachments and exhibits shall be
deemed “submitted” after having been received and found by the executive director of
the Commission to be in proper order and legally adequate to comply with Public
Resources Code Section 30150(b). Said review shall be completed within a reasonable
time, but unless there are unusual circumstances, no later than ten (10) working days after
the date it is received in the Commission offices during normal working hours [. . .I”.
Staff has completed the initial review of the LCPA package. The following additional
information is necessary in order for staff to determine the LCP package is complete and
properly submitted.
First, the mailing lists which have been submitted for the five separate actions include the
Appendix A or Governmental Agencies list, and a list titled Interested Parties which are
the same for all five actions. Please confirm whether or not there is an additional list for
each item that would inciude adjacent property owners ana residents andor other
interested parties such as persons who have submitted written or oral comments for the
local hearings. If such a list exists, please provide each list for each of the 5 City actions.
Additionally, for LCPA 98-08 Carnation Property, a question was raised regarding
provision of sewer service to surrounding unsewered properties. Please submit an
explanation and a graphic representation of the existing sewer system within Zone 20,
which properties are currently without sewer and potential alignmentdocations and
capacity of future sewer lines to serve those and the subject properties. We are
particularly interested in any sewer system which may be located outside of the street
system within open space or environmentally sensitive habitat areas.
Finally, for LCPA 98-07 Hadley, please submit a written explanation as to why the
proposed open space lot is not being zoned Open Space with this rezone.

The submittal involves an amendment to the LCP Implementation Plan and has been
classified a major amendment. As a major amendment, the Coastal Commission has 90
days to review a land use plan revision or 60 days to review an implementation plan
modification. Therefore, depending on when the above information is received, it is
likely that either a time extension or the LCP amendment must be scheduled for the
December 7-10, 1999 Commission hearing in San Rafael. Due to workload constraints
and the fact that Commission staff is currently working on Carlsbad LCPA #2-99D Kelly
Ranch, we anticipate it will be difficult to process the entire submittal for the December
hearing, therefore, a time extension would be necessary. Please let us know if there are
any reasons why a time extension until the January 11-14,20oO meeting in Santa Monica
is a problem and if there is an order of priority for which City actions we should process
first.
If you have any questions about the processing or scheduling of this amendment, please
do not hesitate to call me or Bill Ponder at this office.
