WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on January 15, 2014, hold a duly noticed public
hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to
the Local Coastal Program Amendment; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the majority of said Commission (with the exception
of Commissioners Segall and Siekmann (absent)) were not in favor of allowing any provisions for a
digital sign in Car Country because of the belief that a digital sign is unnecessary for advertising the
auto mall and because a digital sign would result in an undesirable appearance along Interstate 5 and
within the City of Carlsbad; and
WHEREAS, State Coastal Guidelines requires a six-week public review period for any
amendment to the Local Coastal Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of

2013 and ending on January 10, 2014, staff shall present to the City Council a summary
of the comments received.
C) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of CAR COUNTRY INITIATIVES 2 & 4 – LCPA 12-01 based on
the following findings:

1. That the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment meets the requirements of, and is in
conformity with, the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and all applicable policies of the
Mello II segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program, in that the existing uses are consistent

the Car Country Specific Plan do not conflict with any coastal zone regulations, land use
designations or Mello II Land Use Policies with which the development must comply.
2. That the proposed amendment to the Mello II segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program is
required to bring it into consistency with the proposed Car Country Specific Plan Amendment
