At that time, it was anticipated that these revisionsrevised n would take Exhibit "1" is a request of the applicant that Council reconsider A.B. 1 at the March 6, 197^, meeting and that the subject zone change, Specific Plan and Tentative Map be scheduled for hearing at a subsequent hearing. The major concern at the public hearings was the traffic circulation in this area, particularly with respect to Adams St. Staff recommended approval of the subject applications at that time. Public hearings and Council action on the Land Use and Circulation Elements are still several months away. However, consideration of traffic circulation in this area by the General Plan Consultant, the Citizen's Circulation Committee, and the Engineering Department, indicates that it would be appropriate to reconsiderA.B; #1054.

Box 99172* San Diego.Calif. 92109* 274- 2312 h February 15, 197^>~£B Mr. Paul Bussey City Manager City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Mr. Bussey, I am a general partner of Covington-Coninmark, a partnership which applied to the City of Carlsbad for certain action in respect to property (12.905 acres) southeasterly of the intersection of Adams and Hoover Streets. Specifically, the following applications were made: 1. An application for a change of zone to Planned Community and adoption of a master plan. 2. An application for adoption of specific plan. 3. An application for an environmental impact report. On March 6, 1973, the environmental impact report was accepted by the Council. However, on March 7, 1973 a motion was made and adopted to continue agenda Bill 105^ and the three accompanying resolutions (pertaining to items 1 and 2 above) until such time as the General Plan Revision on the subject area is adopted. Based on discussions at the public hearing on March 7, 1973, I understood that the continuance of the Agenda Bill and resolutions was predicated upon a traffic circulation and density study of only the north shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Now, I understand that the studies not only exceed the north shore area, but also exceed the "subject area" described in the continuing motion; in fact, the study, as I understand it, includes the whole City of Carlsbad. While on March 7, 1973 I understood that the study could take up to six months (based on statements made at the public hearing), the matter has now continued for one year. Further, it is my understanding that the study may continue for a second year (into 1975) before a final city-wide plan is finally approved. COIMIIMMARK P.O. Box 99172* San Diego.Calif. 92109* 274-2312 Without going into great detail at this time, suffice it to say that the long delay (and additional prospective delay) has had, and will have, substantial economic effect on Covington-Coninmark. Therefore, this letter is to request that you place on the City Council's calendar, for its March 6 hearing, a request by Covington-Coninmark to ask the City to reconsider Agenda Bill 1054. By this action I understand that the first hearing will pertain only to whether the City Council will agree to reconsider the_ matter. At that time, if reconsideration is granted, I understand that the agenda bill will be entered on the calendar for actual hearing at a subsequent meeting of the Council. Very truly yours, COVINGTON-CONINMARK .lliam L. Zon General Partner^
