Re:Certification of City ofCarlsbad LCP Amendment No. LCP-6-CAR-16-0015 -2 Part A (Westin
Hotel and Timeshare)
Dear Mr. Westman:
On July 13,2016, the California Coastal Commission approved the above referenced amendment to
the City of Carlsbad's Local Coastal Program (LCP). The amendment involves revisions to both the
Land Use and Implementation Plan components ofthe certified LCP, including modifying the land use
designation and zoning on two parcels (APNs 212-271 -02 and 211 -023-07), incorporating these
parcels into the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan as new Planning Area 5A, and text revisions to the
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan development standards applicable to Planning Areas 5 and 5A.
The Commission approved the LCP amendment with one suggested modification that addresses lower
cost visitor and recreational facilities. The attached modifications contain the specific changes adopted
by the Commission.
Before the amendment request can become effectively certified, the Executive Director must
determine that implementation of the approved amendment will be consistent with the Commission's
certification order. This is necessary because the amendment was certified with suggested
modifications.
In order for the Executive Director to make this determination, the local government must formally
acknowledge receipt of the Commission's resolution of certification, including any terms or suggested
modifications; and take any formal action which is required to satisfy them, such as rezonings or other
ordinance revisions. This certification must also include production of new Mello II LCP policy text
demonstrating that the amendment,as approved by the Commission and accepted by the City,will be
incorporated into the City's certified Local Coastal Program immediately upon concurrence by the
Commission ofthe Executive Director's determination.
As sooTi as the necessary documentation is received in this office and accepted, the Executive Director
will report his/her determination to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled public hearing.If
you have any questions about the Commission's action or this final certification procedure, please
contact our office. Thank you and the other staff members who worked on this planning effort. We
remain available to assist you and your staff in any way possible to continue the successful .
implementation ofthe local coastal program.
Si ly,Sincer
