The Council also directed staff to tfie plan to the Regional Coastal Commission for approval as a pi1 program for local coastal plan implementation. The Coastal Commission at that time had no procedures for process pilot program and consequently requested City staff to postpone t submittal of the Specific Plan until after the Commission's Local Coastal Program (LCP) Regulations had been adopted. The LCP Regu were adopted on May 19, 1977 and the Agua Hedionda Specific Plan formally transmitted on May 29, 1977. Since that time, City staff has been working with the Coastal sta resolve procedural problems which will enable the Agua Hedionda S Plan to be scheduled for hearing before the Regional Commission. Coastal staff is recommending that the State Commission waive the requirement for an additional six-week citizen review. Their action on this waiver is expected on October 4th. The rem . obstacle to scheduling of the Specific Plan for Coastal Commissio hearing is the adoption of a "resolution of submittal" by the Cit Such a resolution is required in the LCP Regulations and, accordi Coastal Commission staff, cannot be waived.

Scheduling of thl Plan for public hearings will depend on several unknowns, including the and appeal load in late November and December with people trying to obta ment permits before the end of the year. Other important factors in considering and approving the Specific Plan t elf be the timing of its submittal to us by the City and the extent of of the City's proposal by the Regional and State Commissions. As you ar our Regional and State staff has Tinformed the City and the property owne representatiyes of the remainin4 concerns we have with respect to the Ci proposed Specific Plan as approved by the Planning Commission.

BRO m 9 STATE OF CALIFORNIA-RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME 1416 NINTH STREET SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814 (916) 445-3531 No action required at this tim November 16, 15 Honorable Robert Frazee Mayor of the City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, Ca. 92008 Dear Mayor Frazee: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the final draft of the Agua Hedior Specific Plan. The Carlsbad City Planning Department has done an excellent jc on this area plan. The Department endorses the plan in its entirety, with thc following reservations and comments: 1. We would like to see greater protection for the eel grass habitat in the western cove of the inner lagoon; by reducing boating speed limits to 5 mi and/or creating a reduced speed corridor from the marina to the main body the inner lagoon. The Department cannot be considered one of the "readily apparent" agencier approached for financial participation in maintenance (second paragraph, 1 As much as we would like to, the Department is not set up financially to ! participate. 2. 3. We recommend that the "future collector" road connecting Kelly Drive and ( Road be deleted (Exhibit C). This road would cross the proposed "wildlifc preserve area" and be much to close to the ecologically sensitive section that area. We recommend that the secondary bike route connecting Kelly Drive and Can] Road be deleted from the plan for the same reason as above. The bike roui along the existing raised dirt road and along the riparian habitat probab: a compatible use of the area, but use would have to be monitored because route also transects the "wildlife preserve area." Finally, we concur with Regional Coast Commission comments regarding the desirability of includifig additional wetland areas in the "wildlife prese. area" at the east end of the inner lagoon. The Department has completed acquisition proposal for Agua Hedionda Lagoon and proposes the acquisitio. approximately 190 acres rather than the 109 acres proposed in the plan. 1 would like to see the "wildlife preservation area" in the plan expanded tc acreage, as delineated on the Department's acquisition proposal map, a co which will be supplied to the City and the Commission at the hearing on November 21, 1977. 4. 5. Sincerely, €c>- Director 1) * CARISBAD COMMUNITY CAUSE , CARLSE Statement to City Council for the Board of Directors, CARLSBAD COMMUNITY CAUSE Tuesday, October 26, 1976 Subject: Agua Hedionda Lagoon Because of the importance of this matter to our community and because the material to be studied is complex and massive, four days would appear to be inadequate for the public to properly prepare. CARLSBAD COMMUNITY CAUSE therefore requests that the E.I.R. be considered at this meeting and that the Specific Plan be considered at the next regular scheduled meeting of the City Council. In this way the Council will assure that citizens will be able to participate in the decision making process in an informed manner. 10- ad-76 bonc;~ ~)tee e SAN DlEGO GAS & ELECTRIC LdMPANY P o BOX it131 S~N r, EGO CALIFOHNIA 91 12 (7'11 ?32-425?
