ATTY. \) DEPARTMENT: PLANNING CTY. MGR. £ SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS (LAND USE ELEMENT) SCHEDULING STATEMENT OF THE MATTER: In January of 1981 the City Council approved a Resolution (No. 6426) establishing hearing dates for amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Two schedules (attached) were adopted under this resolution. The first schedule was for 1981 and the second was for the years following. Since the schedule was adopted the city has received three requests (two attached in letter form) to revise the date for the December, 1981, meeting. The letters are requesting that the December hearing be rescheduled in September, 1981, which would move the hearing forward 3 months. Staff feels that September would be too early because there are several applicants (Sherman, Santa Fe Co.) held over from the last hearing. These applicants will not have their environmental impact reports (EIRs) completed by September. As a result, staff is proposing to move the hearing forward to November 17. This will save several weeks time and should ensure that the Sherman and Santa Fe applications will make the agenda. The Planning Commission meeting would be moved forward to October 28, 1981. Staff would also recommend that the schedule for future general plan amendments be modified to change all future December amendments to November. This would allow time for the documents to be prepared and approved prior to the new year (Land Use Element amendments are permitted 3 times per year). Staff is further recommending that the revised schedule reflect deadlines for projects requiring EIRs. These times are provided on the revised schedule (see proposed schedule attached). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council approve Resolution No. &(p3 \ / revising Resolution No. 6426 (January 20, 1981), adopting a General Plan Amendment schedule.

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA 9266O TELEPHONE (714) 752-7855 Our file Number: April ^ Ig81 James C. Hagaman Director of Planning City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Jim: I am in receipt of your letter of April 15 regarding the processing schedule of the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan and General Plan amendment. The time problem you have outlined I can well recognize and appreciate. In your letter you indicate a possibility of rescheduling the next City Council hearing on this matter from December to a date in early fall. As you are well aware, a great deal has been accomplished on the Rancho Carrillo project, particulary major revisions requested by your staff which we have been able to make within the last three or four weeks. I feel the momentum that has been generated in revising this project should not be lost. Expeditious processing of this project I know is a desire of yours as it is of the applicant. Therefore, I would urge that you recorrmend a modification to the present December hearing schedule that would permit the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan and General Plan amendment to be heard by the City Council at its first public hearing in September which I believe to be the 1st. Your support of this request would be very much appreciated.

The next general plan hearing will be in June and the one following that will be in December of 1981. Because of the long time between the last two meetings of the year, and because of the potential for a lengthy pre-application time because of the environmental process, I would like to re- quest that the next general plan hearing be moved from Decem- ber to early September of 1981. I would also like to ask that you review with your staff, and possibly amend the cut-off dates for applications for general plan amendments. Because there is a potential for a very lengthy environmental review process on major projects, you may want to consider re-analyzing the submittal dates, along with adjusting the actual hearing dates. I would think that you should look at your 1982 schedules also, for any potential revisions. Thank you for your consideration on this item, and I again would like to ask that you process a request to amend the application and general plan hearing dates. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this further with me, please feel free to call. Thank you. Sincerely, •Oo^- Robert C.
