The Land Use Element of the General Plan presently references areas of the City for
"Special Planning Considerations" (Section D, Page 21 of the Land Use Element). This
section presently includes areas of the city such as the Downtown Village area, the
McClellan-Palomar Airport area, the Buena Vista Watershed and the Barrio area. Staff is
recommending that the Ponto Beachfront Village Area be added to this section of the
Land Use Element to read as follows:
"9 - Ponto Beachfront Village Area
The Ponto Beachfront Village Area consists of approximately 50 acres of
land located between Carlsbad Boulevard and the San Diego Northern
Railroad, north of Batiquitos Lagoon and south of Ponto Road. It is part of
a larger land use and circulation study area containing 130 acres extending
from the southern city limits on Carlsbad Boulevard to Poinsettia Lane.
The northern portion of the area is also located within the boundaries of the
city's South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Plan. Presently, the area
contains older homes and businesses which have a strong potential for
redevelopment and several important underutilized or vacant properties.
Recognizing the potential for new development in this area and its
important location at the southern gateway to the city, a Vision Plan has
been prepared for this area. The Plan includes a Vision Statement,
desirable land uses, a proposed vehicular and pedestrian circulation system
and design guidelines to direct future development in the area. The intent
of the Vision Plan is to create a mixed use, active pedestrian and bicycle
oriented area with a strong sense of place, village atmosphere and unique
character of design. Future proposals for new development within this area
of special planning consideration shall be guided by the Vision Plan and all
future development permits (site development plan, coastal development
permit, etc.) shall be reviewed by the city for conformance with the Ponto
Beachfront Village Vision Plan."
