Re: City of Carlsbad Local Coastal Program Amendment 1-94

Dear Mr. Munoz,
On May 12, 1994, the California Coastal Commission approved the above-described amendment request. #1-94 (Density bonuses and Aviara Phase 111) were continued and not acted upon. In its action, the Commission approved the West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammi s Properties amendment request with suggested modifications including ones which required submittal of a trail construction plan,
prohibited gating of certain planning areas, and provided for the eventual
implementation and provision of the public trail system. The adopted
suggested modifications are attached for your information.
Before the amendment request can become effectively certified, the Executive
Director must determine that implementation of the approved amendment wi 11 b
consistent with the Commission's certification order. This is necessary because the amendment request was certified with suggested modifications.
In order for the Executive Director to make this determination, the local government must formally acknowledge receipt of the Commission's resolution certification, including any terms or suggested modifications; accept and agree to those terms and modifications; and take any formal action which is required to satisfy them, such as rezonings or other ordinance revisions. I
the City chooses to accept the Commission's action, this acknowledgement mus
occur within six months.
As soon as the necessary documentation is received in this office, and accepted, the Executive Director wi 11 report hi s/her determi nation to the
Commission at its next regularly scheduled public hearing. If you have any
questions about the Commission's action or this final certification procedur please contact our office. Thank you and the other staff members who worked on this planning effort. We remain available to assist you and your staff i
any way possible to continue the successful implementation of the local coastal program.
