RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Approve the attached resolution adopting the Sammis Properties
amendment to the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program and direct staff
to forward to the Coastal Commission.
ITEM EXPLANATION;
The LCP Committee recommends the proposed action which would amend
the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program (LCP) by adding the so-called
Sammis Properties (including a portion of Batiquitos Lagoon) to the
jurisdiction of the Carlsbad LCP. The subject properties, which were
formerly part of the San Dieguito LCP were annexed to the City and
subsequently removed from the San Dieguito LCP jurisdiction by the
California Coastal Commission in 1984.
The proposed amendment reflects the general policies established
by the Land Use Plan segment of the San Dieguito LCP which was
Commission certified in July 1982. The format of the document is
designed to allow it to. "fit" into the Mello I and II LCP documents.
The recommended amendment recognizes that the properties have
received several development approvals from the City as well as the
Coastal Commission. Provision is made for the conversion of 64 acres
of non-prime agricultural land located on part of the Sammis parcel
pursuant to the provisions of Public Resources Code Section 30171.5.
That section allows agricultural conversion mitigation through the
payment of fees.
The City is currently processing a master plan for the Sammis
Properties which includes detailed development proposals. The subject
LCP amendment provides for the Sammis Properties to be processed by
the City as a master plan and specific plan consistent with the
Carlsbad General Plan.
On March 12, 1985 the City Council opened a 6-week public review
period of the LCP Committee recommended actions for the Sammis Proper-
ties. No suggestions for change were received. If the City Council
wishes to proceed with the amendment, the LCP Committee recommends
the same process used for the Mello I and II areas, that is:
Take action on the LCP without formally changing
the General Plan and Zoning ordinances. The LCP
can then be forwarded to the Coastal Commission
to review and potentially certify. If the Commi-
ssion approves the LCP the City would then
formally change the General Plan and Zoning to
conform. Once the General Plan and Zoning have
been modified (using the City general plan•> _t ^ — i.
z amendment/zone change process) evidence would be
forwarded to the Commission. At that time the
City would achieve coastal zone land use authority.
PAGE 2 of AB#
Once the City takes action as recommended by this agenda
bill and the documents are forwarded to the Coastal Commission,
the Commission has an initial 10 working day review period.
After this 10 day period the LCP must be scheduled for Coastal
Commission hearing and action within 60 days. Failure to act
by the Commission within 60 days is deemed an action to approve
as submitted.

Affected Area
Exhibit 1
SAMMIS PROPERTIES
Proposed Amendment To The
Carlsbad Local Coastal Program
April 23, I 985
ATTACHMENT B
SAMMIS PROPERTIES LAND USE
This Attachment amends the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program by
including the West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties geographi-
cal area within the jurisdiction of the Carlsbad Local Coastal
Program (LCP). This area, which was formerly a part of the San
Dieguito LCP, was annexed to the City in 1983 and removed from
the San Dieguito LCP jurisdiction by the California Coastal Com-
mission in 1984.
A. Land Use Categories
1. Batiquitos Pointe (approximately 35 acres west of the
railroad tracks) - approximately 18 gross acres exclu-
ding wetlands and bluff slopes shall be designated for
"Residential Medium - High Density" use (10-20 dwel-
lings/acre) . Approximately 7+ gross acres located on
the northern portion of the property shall be desig-
nated for "travel services" commercial uses (visitor-
serving) . The remainder of the property - wetlands
and bluff slopes - shall be designated for open space
and shall be protected by the appropriate sections of
this LCP which deal with "environmentally sensitive
habitats."
2. Seabluff (approximately 130 acres east of the railroad
tracks) - the overall density for residential develop-
ment under a master plan approach shall be a combination
of "Residential Medium Density" 4-10 units per acre on
the northern half of the property, and "Residential
Medium - High Density" 10-20 units per acre on the
southern half of the property, as provided in the Carls-
bad General Plan. The remainder of the property -
wetlands and bluff slopes shall be designated for open
space and shall be protected by the appropriate sections
of this LCP which deal with "environmentally sensitive
habitats." Full intensity of development may only be
realized through the payment of an "Agricultural Con-
version Mitigation Fee" pursuant to the provisions of
Public Resources Code Section 30171.5 and further dis-
cussed in section B, below.
,*
3. The above subparcels may be combined and processed
under a single master plan and specific plan with
those uses permitted in the Combination District as
provided in the Carlsbad General Plan.
B. Developable Agricultural Land
1. Non-prime agricultural lands may be converted to non-
agricultural uses, if the City finds at the time of
the proposed conversion that continued or renewed
agriculture is infeasible.
2. As a condition of approval of any conversion of
non-prime agricultural land located within this
area to urban uses, the applicant shall be req-
uired to pay a coastal resource enhancement fee
of $6,500 per acre converted to urban uses to be
administered by a joint Coastal Conservancy/City
of Carlsbad trust." If "a future enhancement study
of Batiquitos Lagoon determines that a greater
per-acre coastal resource enhancement fee is
necessary to implement the Plan, then the per-
acre fee may be increased by vote of the Carlsbad
City Council as necessary, but not to exceed
$10,000 per acre of non-prime agricultural land
converted to urban uses.
3. The City of Carlsbad in consultation with the State
Coastal Conservancy shall create a Batiquitos Lag-
oon Trust. Consistent with the California Public
Resources Code Section 30171.5 all coastal resource
enhancement fees collected pursuant to subdivision
(b) shall be administered by the Trust. Separate
accounting of fund collection, management and dis-
bursement shall be carried out by the City.
a. Priority for the Expenditure Funds -
The following are the categories and priorities
in order -of expenditure of funds:
i. Restoration of natural resources and
wildlife habitat in Batiquitos
Lagoon.
ii. Development of an interpretive center
at Buena Vista Lagoon.
iii. Restoration of beaches managed for
public use in the Coastal Zone in
the City of Carlsbad.
iv. Any other project or activity bene-
fiting natural resources in the
Coastal Zone in the City of Carlsbad,
as determined by the Carlsbad City
Council.
b. The priorities in 3.a. above are established by
Public Resources Code Section 30171.5. If those
priorities are determined to be illegal, funds
may be expended according to the priorities
established in the Mello I and II LCP.
C. Grading and Erosion Control (both subparcels)
Because the parcels are located close to environmentally
sensitive habitats, development shall conform to the fol-
lowing grading and erosion control standards:
-2-
1. Drainage and runoff shall be controlled so as
not to exceed at any time the rate associated
with property in its present state, and approp-
riate measures shall be taken on and/or off site
to prevent siltation of. lagoons and other envir-
onmentally sensitive areas.
2. Grading activity shall be prohibited during the
rainy season from October 1st to April 1st of
any year.
3. All graded areas shall be hydroseeded prior to
October 1st with either temporary or permanent
landscape materials. Landscaping shall be main-
tained and replanted if not establishe'd by
December 1st.
4. Grading plans shall indicate staking or fencing
of open space areas during construction and
shall specifically prohibit running or parking
earthmoving equipment, stockpiling of earthwork
material, or other disturbances within the open
space areas.
5. Any necessary temporary or permanent erosion
control devices, such as the desilting basin,
shall be developed and installed prior to any
on or off site grading activities, or, concur-
rent with grading, provided all devices are
installed and operating prior to October 1st,
and installation is assured through bonding or
other acceptable means.
6. The developer must provide for the long term
maintenance of drainage improvements and erosion
control devices.
D. Landscaping
In order to guard against introduction of any species
which are inherently noxious to or incompatible with
the adjacent lagoon habitat, drought tolerant plants
and native vegetation shall be used to the maximum
extent feasible.
Landscaping adjacent to structures should provide an
effective screen of urban development.
E. Environmentally Sensitive Habitats
The environmentally sensitive habitats located on both
subparcels (i.e. wetlands and bluff slopes) shall be
preserved as open space. These sensitive areas shall
be protected from any significant disruption. Further-
more, development on the bluff tops shall be set back
'• from the bluff edges to prevent possible impacts on
adjacent environmentally sensitive habitats.
-3- 10
Any restoration, enhancement and preservation of Bati-
quitos Lagoon shall be consistent with a Batiquitos
Lagoon Enhancement Plan. When completed by the Cali-
fornia Coastal Conservancy and adopted by the City of
Carlsbad and certified by the California Coastal Com-
mission, the Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Plan will
become an attachment to the Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan.
The provisions called for in E. will be implemented
through the approvals granted for development.
F. Public Access
A pedestrian walkway shall be provided along the western
property line of Batiquitos Pointe from approximately
Ponto Drive on the north to the San Marcos- Creek Bridge
on the south. The walkway shall be permanently open to
use by the public.
Lagoon accessways - bluff-top accessways or equivalent
overlook areas, or a bike path/pedestrian walkway, shall
be provided if agricultural land on the north shore of
Batiquitos Lagoon is developed. Such accessways shall
be preserved for public use by requiring irrevocable
offers of dedication of those areas as a condition of
development. The accessways shall not adversely impact
environmentally sensitive habitats.
G. Visitor-Serving Use
A minimum of 6 acres (excluding roads) located on the
Batiquitos Pointe subparcel shall provide visitor-serving
commercial uses.
H. Archaeology
A program of preservation and/or impact mitigation reg-
arding archaeological sites located on both subparcels
shall be completed prior to any development.
I. State Lands Commission Review
,>
Prior to issuance of the coastal development permit,
permittee shall obtain a written determination from the
State Lands Commission that:
1. No State Lands are involved in the development, or
2. State Lands are involved in the development and all
permits required by the State Lands Commission have
been obtained, or
3. State Lands may be involved in the development, but
pending a final determination an agreement has been
made with the State Lands Commission for the project
to proceed without prejudice to that determination.

ATTACHMENT 7
SAMMIS PROPERTIES ZONING
Addition to the Planned Community Zone - The following
new section shall be added to Ch.21,38 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code:
Additional Standards - Sammis Properties - Batiquitos Pointe/
Seabluff
In addition to complying with other provisions of this
chapter the Master Plan for the Sammis Properties identified
in the Local Coastal Program shall include additional informa-
tion and development standards required by this section.
1. Permits Required. No development, including but not
limited to land divisions, as defined in Section
21.04.108 of this code shall occur without a Coastal
Development Permit having first been issued pursuant
to Chapter 21.65 of this code. A master plan, or a
planned development permit processed according to
Section 21. .060 shall be considered a coastal
permit if also processed in compliance with Chapter
21.65.
2. Maximum Density of Development. The Master Plan shall
establish a maximum density of development as follows:
A. Batiquitos Pointe (property west of the railroad
tracks) - a maximum of 354 residential units are
permitted pursuant to Coastal Permit 6-83-324.
The density shall not exceed 20 dwellings per
gross residential acre (excluding wetlands, bluff
slopes and commercial acreage). In addition,
approximately 6 net acres of the site shall be
retained for visitor-serving commercial use.
B. Seabluff (property east of the railroad tracks) -
a maximum of 600 residential units on a maximum
of 40 acres of agricultural soils shall be per-
mitted. The remaining 64 acres of agricultural
soils excluding wetlands and bluff slopes shall
be designated Developable..Agriculture.
The property owner shall have the opportunity to
convert the developable agricultural area to the
land uses provided for in the current Carlsbad
General Plan. Such conversion will require the
payment of the Agricultural Conversion Mitiga-
tion Fee.
-1-
Upon pi .lent of the fee the maxima overall
density for residential development shall
be 4-10 units per gross residential acre on
the northerly portion and 10-20 units per
gross residential acre on the southerly por-
tion of the property as provided by the Carls-
bad General Plan. Gross residential acreage
shall exclude wetlands, and bluff slopes.
C. The above subparcels may be combined and processed
under a single master plan and specific plan with
those uses permitted in the combination district
as provided in the Carlsbad General Plan.
Developable Agricultural Land. The Master Plan shall
designate a minimum of 64 acres excluding wetlands and
bluff slopes on the Seabluff property as Developable
Agricultural Land (DAg), (see the DAg Zone attachment
for the Sammis LCP segment).
4. Erosion, Drainage, Sedimentation. Subject to the modi-
fications, additions, or exceptions expressed below, as
a part of the permit application, the applicant shall
submit an erosion, sedimentation and drainage plan pre-
pared by a qualified professional, including the require-
ments of the Model Erosion Control Ordinance reprinted in
the Appendix to the June 1980 Carlsbad Master Drainage
Plan, the requirements of the Master Drainage Plan, and
the additional requirements specifically enumerated herein.
For purposes of this zone, the June 1980 Master Drainage
Plan and its appendices are herein incorporated by this
reference and are part of this zone. The general provi-
sions, standards, content of plans and implementation
contained therein are in addition to the provisions
below. Approved development shall include the following
conditions, in addition to the requirement specified above:
A. A soils map in the scale of 1" = 100 feet, showing
both the erodibility of soils and the type.-^and lo-
cation of soils, using the SCS Land Use Capability
Classification System and standards of erodibility
developed by SCS. The soils map shall be certified
by a soils engineer as true and accurate.
.*
B. Drainage and runoff shall be controlled so as not
to exceed at any time the rate associated with
property in its present state, and appropriate
measures shall be taken on and/or off site to pre-
vent siltation of lagoons and other environmentally
sensitive areas.
C. .The appropriate measures shall be installed prior
to on site grading.
D. All bluff slopes shall be placed in open space
easements as a condition of development approval.
-2-
Mitigation measures tailored to project impacts
and consistent with the control of cumulative
development shall be implemented prior to dev-
elopment in accordance with the following
additional criteria:
a. Submittal of a runoff control plan designed
by a licensed engineer qualified in hydrology
and hydraulics, which would assure no increase
in peak runoff rate from the developed site
over the greatest discharge expected from the
existing undeveloped site as a result of a
10-year frequency storm. Runoff control
shall be accomplished by a variety of mea-
sures including, but not limited to, on-site
catchment basins, detention basins, siltation
traps and energy dissipators and shall not be
concentrated in one area or a few locations.
b. Detailed maintenance arrangements and various
alternatives for providing the ongoing repair
and maintenance of any approved drainage and
erosion control facilities. If the off-site
or on-site improvements are not to be accepted
or maintained by a public agency, detailed
maintenance agreements shall be secured prior
to issuance of a permit.
c. All permanent runoff and erosion control
devices shall be developed and installed prior
to or concurrent with any on-site grading
activities.
d. All grading activities shall be prohibited
within the period from November 1st to March
31st of each year.
e. All areas disturbed by grading, but not com-
pleted during the construction period, inclu-
ding graded pads, shall be planted and
stabilized prior to November 1st with tem-
porary or permanent (in the case of finished
slopes) erosion control measures and native
vegetation. The use of temporary erosion
control measures, such as berms, interceptor
ditches, sandbagging, filtered inlets, debris
basins and silt traps, shall be utilized in
conjunction with plantings to minimize soil
loss from the construction site. Said
-3-
planting shall be accomplished under the
supervision of a licensed landscape archi-
tect and shall consist of seeding, mulching,
fertilization and irrigation adequate to
provide 90 percent coverage within 90 days.
Planting shall be repeated, if the required
level of coverage is not established. This
requirement shall apply to all disturbed
soils, including stockpiles.
f. Grading plans shall indicate staking or fen-
cing of open space areas during construction
and shall specifically prohibit running or
parking of earthmoving equipment, stockpiling
or earthwork materials, or other disturbances
within open space areas.
5. Landscaping. In order to guard against the introduction of
any species which are inherently noxious to, or incompatible
with the adjacent lagoon habitat, the master plan shall indi-
cate that drought tolerant and native vegetation shall be
used to the greatest extent feasible. Prior to development,
a detailed landscape plan must be submitted and approved by
the City. Said landscape plan shall be reviewed by the Dep-
artment of Fish & Game for compatibility of landscape
materials with adjacent environmentally sensitive habitat
species.
6. Environmentally Sensitive Habitats. The environmentally sen-
sitive habitats located on both wetlands and bluff slopes shall
be preserved as open space. These sensitive areas shall be
protected from any significant disruption. Furthermore, dev-
elopment on the bluff tops shall be set back from the bluff
edges to prevent possible impacts on adjacent environmentally
sensitive habitats.
Restoration, enhancement and preservation of Batiquitos Lagoon
shall be consistent with the Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Plan.
When completed by the California Coastal Conservancy and adopted
by the City of Carlsbad and certified by the California Coastal
Commission, the Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Plan will become
an attachment to the Carlsbad-'Local Coastal Plan.
Detailed topographic maps shall be prepared by qualified pro-
fessionals including biologists, hydrologists and engineers
in sufficient detail to locate the boundary of lagoon or wet-
land and upland areas. The scale shall not be less than 1" =
100 feet with a contour interval of 5 feet, and shall include
an overlay delineating the location of the development. The
lagoon and wetland areas shall be delineated according to the
requirements of Section 30121 of the Coastal Act and the LCP
Mapping regulations, subject to the review and approval of the
Department of Fish & Game.
—4—
7. Public Access. Public access to coastal resources (i.e.
beaches and lagoons) shall be provided in the following
manner:
A. A pedestrian walkway shall be provided along
the western property line of Batiquitos Pointe
from approximately Ponto Drive on the north to
the San Marcos Creek Bridge on the south. The
walkway shall be permanently open to use by the
public.
B. Lagoon accessways - bluff-top accessways or
equivalent overlook areas, or bike paths/pedes-
trian walkways, shall be provided if agricultural
land on the north shore of Batiquitos-Lagoon is
developed. Such accessways shall be preserved
for public use by requiring irrevocable offers
of dedication of those areas as a condition of
development. Accessways shall not adversely
impact environmentally sensitive habitats.
8. Archaeology. The master plan shall include a program of
preservation and/or impact mitigation regarding archaeo-
logical sites located on both subparcels shall be
completed prior to any development.
9. State Lands Commission Review. Prior to issuance of the
Coastal development permit, permittee shall obtain a
written determination from the State Lands Commission that:
A. No Public Trust lands are involved in the
development, or
B. Public Trust lands are involved in the develop-
ment and all permits required by the State Lands
Commission have been obtained, or
C. Public Trust lands may be involved in the dev-
elopment and, pending a final determination,
an agreement has been made with the State Lands
Commission for the project to proceed without
prejudice to that determination.

SAMMIS DAg ZONE
CHAPTER 21.
Developable Agriculture Zone
21. .010 Purpose and Intent. The Developable Agriculture
(DAg) Zone is established to implement Sections 30170(f), 30171.5,
30241, and 30242 of the California Coastal Act and the Local Coastal
Land Use Plan certified on . This zone recog-
nizes agriculture as a priority use under the Coastal Act and pro-
tects that use by establishing mechanisms to assure the continued
and renewed agricultural use of agricultural lands while allowing
development to proceed in compliance with the zone. This zone pro-
vides necessary incentives to accomplish the goal of protecting and
promoting agriculture in the coastal zone, in order to conform with
Sections 30241 and 30242 of the California Coastal Act of 1976.
The DAg zone adopts permitted uses for all agricultural lands
located in the zone. The DAg conversion program is voluntary, and
allows agricultural parcels to convert to more intense urban uses.
To mitigate the adverse impact of conversion on the area's currently
existing agricultural economy, landowners of developable agricultural
lands.must contribute monetary fees to a fund which will encourage
continued agriculture on lands retained in agricultural use.
21. .020 Definitions. For the purposes of this zone, terms
used herein are defined as follows:
A. "Developable Agricultural Lands" means those agricultural
lands identified on Map Z attached to the Land Use Plan certified
on .
B. "Class I-IV Agricultural Land" means all land which quali-
fies for rating as Class I through Class IV in the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Land Use Compatibility
Classification.
C. "Class V-VIII Agricultural Land" means all land which quali-
fies for rating as Class V through Class VIII in the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Land Use Compatibility
Classification..*
D. "Land Division" means the creation of any new property line
whether by subdivision or other means.
E. "Urban Uses" means any use other than a use permitted by
Section 21. .050 including any use necessary or convenient to
urban use.
21. -.030 Development of Developable Agricultural Land.
Developable agricultural land may be converted from agricultural use
and developed for urban use in compliance with the procedures of this
chapter.
-1-
21. .040 Permits Required. No development, including but
not limited to land divisions, as defined in Section 21.04.108 of
this code shall occur without a Coastal Development Permit having
first been issued pursuant to Chapter 21.65 of this Code. A master
plan or a planned development permit processed according to Section
21. .060 shall be considered a coastal permit if also processed
in compliance with Chapter 21/65.

21. .060 Development of Developable Agricultural Land.
Developable agricultural lands may be converted from agricultural
to urban uses pursuant to the following procedures:
a. As a condition of approval of any conversion of
non-prime agricultural land located within this
area to urban uses, the applicant shall be req-
uired to pay a coastal resource enhancement fee
of $6,500 per acre converted to urban uses to be
administered by a joint Coastal Conservancy/City
of Carlsbad trust. If a future enhancement study
of Batiquitos Lagoon determines that a greater
per-acre coastal resource enhancement fee is
necessary to implement the Plan, then the per-
acre fee may be increased by vote of the Carlsbad
City Council as necessary, but not to exceed
$10,000 per acre of land converted to non-
agricultural uses.
b. The City of Carlsbad, in consultation with the
State Coastal Conservancy shall create a Bati-
quitos Lagoon Trust. Consistent with the Calif-
ornia Coastal Act Section 30171.5 all coastal
resource enhancement fees collected pursuant to
subdivision (b) shall be administered by the
trust. Separate accounting of fund collection,
management and disbursement shall be carried out
by the City.
The following are the categories and priorities
in order of expenditure of funds:
1. Restoration of natural resources and
wildlife habitat in Batiquitos Lagoon.
2. Development of an interpretive center at
Buena Vista Lagoon.
3. Restoration of beaches'* managed for public
use in the Coastal Zone in the City of
Carlsbad.
4. Any other project or activity benefiting
natural resources in the Coastal Zone in the
City of Carlsbad that is provided for in the
Local Coastal Program of the City of Carlsbad.
The priorities in b. above are established by
Public Resources Code Section 30171.5. If
those priorities are determined to be illegal
funds may be expended according to the prio-
rities established in the Mello I and II LCP.

Mitigation Program. Within six months of the
certification of this chapter by the California
Coastal Commission, the City Council shall pre-
pare operating directives and procedures for
administration of the mitigation program.
A reasonable portion of the transmitted conver-
sion fees may be used by the City to cover the
actual costs of administration, up to a maximum
of 1% of any conversion fees. Costs of admini-
stration will be greatest at the beginning of
the program, so a proportion greater than 1% of
the fees may be reserved at the initiation of
the program for the purpose.
Five years after the adoption of the mitigation
program, the program shall be reviewed for effec-
tiveness and fulfillment of applicable coastal
act policies. If the City Council finds the
program not adequate to meet the purposes of the
Local Coastal Program, modification may be req-
uested as a Local Coastal Program amendment.
