I CITY MGR
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. 2000 l 377 , APPROVING an amendment to
LCPA 97-09 to acknowledge the receipt of and incorporate the California Coastal Commission
suggested modifications to LCPA 97-09 which include language and maps in the Agua Hedionda
and Mello II segments of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program and directing staff to initiate formal
action including the holding of public hearings necessary to consider the legislative actions and
revised development permits consistent with and which satisfy the suggested modifications.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Kelly Ranch Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA 97-09) was approved by the City
Council in May 1999. Subsequently. the amendment was submitted to and reviewed by the
California Coastal Commission (CCC) in July 2000. The CCC approved the City’s requested
amendment with modifications. In order for the amendment to become effective, the City must
accept the CCC suggested modifications and incorporate them into the appropriate segment of the
Local Coastal Program.
Adoption of the suggested modifications will have the greatest impact on the Kelly Ranch, however,
there will also be implications in areas outside of the Kelly Ranch boundaries within the Agua
Hedionda and Mello II segments of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program. Adoption of the suggested
modifications will require a re-design of the Kelly Ranch project which in turn will require subsequent
review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council.
A summary of the most significant changes follows. An itemized list of the suggested modifications
and the relative impact to Kelly Ranch and/or areas outside of the Kelly Ranch is included as an
attachment.
Specific to Kelly Ranch:
The General Plan designation of Planning Area “A” must change from RMH to RM, effectively
reducing the density range from 8-l 5 to 4-8 dwelling units per acre.
A minimum 100 foot “buffer” shall be required between Planning Area “A” and delineated
wetlands whereas a minimum 50 feet was previously allowed.
The extension of a public trail on the south side of Planning Area “A” has been added.
Planning Area “A” shall include two view corridors, for views of the lagoon from Park Drive, with a
combined width of not less than 200 feet.
The General Plan designation of Planning Area “F” must change from Open Space (OS) and
OtTice (0) to only OS.
Open Space, which includes all of the Habitat Management Plan “hardline open space” plus
additional land designated by the California Coastal Commission, will be established and
identified on a Kelly Ranch Open Space map.
Designation of the aforementioned Open Space allows the development of otherwise coastal-
restricted steep slopes with habitat.
Designation of the aforementioned Open Space eliminates all residential development within
Planning Area “D” and limits the land area available for day care and recreational vehicle
storage.
A brush management program will be implemented for residential development which effectively
establishes a 40 foot structural setback from designated Open Space. I
k , * I
, * PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. Is! 7%
l Public vista points will be required in Planning Areas “J” and ‘I”.
l Planning Areas “J, K, and L” may not be designed as gated developments.
l Scenic public views from Interstate 5, Cannon Road, and Agua Hedionda shall be preserved as
determined by the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit.
As a result of these changes the Kelly Ranch development project will need to be revised to comply
with the new development regulations. Subsequent to the adoption of the suggested modifications,
staff will return with amendments to General Plan Amendment GPA 97-07, Zone Code Amendment
ZCA 99-03, Carlsbad Tract CT 97-16, Hillside Development Permit HDP 97-17, Coastal
Development Permit CDP 97-43, and Site Development Permit 98-04. The applicant for the Kelly
Ranch project has indicated acceptance of all of the CCC suggested modifications and is in the
process of amending all affected plans for re-submittal to the City.
Modifications that pertain to all of Agua Hedionda and/or Mello II including the Kelly Ranch:
l Emphasis on the preservation of natural slopes greater than 25% and slopes greater than 25%
possessing endangered species and/or coastal sage and chaparral communities.
l New projects may not be designed as gated developments which preclude the public from public
parking and public access to the lagoon or view points.
l Substantial standards regarding National Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES).
(See Exhibit 4)
l Densities in Mello II are based on the underlying Local Coastal Program designation and
Chapter 21.86 (Residential Density Bonus or In-Lieu Incentives) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
l Emphasis on the minimization of paved surface areas in new projects in Kelly Ranch and
Macario Canyon.
l Allowance of winter grading if summer grading is prohibited by a responsible resource agency.
The City is in receipt of a letter from the Coastal Commission Senior Deputy Director (Exhibit 2)
indicating that the suggested modifications associated with the Kelly Ranch Local Coastal Program Amendment were developed specifically to reflect the specific topography, biology and other
individual characteristics of the Kelly Ranch property. In so doing, the precedent of adopting these
development standards may or may not be similarly applicable to another project site within the
Coastal Zone in Carlsbad.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The program of the California Coastal Commission involving the preparation, approval, and
certification of Local Coastal Programs as provided in Sections 30500 through 30522 of the Public
Resources Code has been certified by the Secretary for Resources as meeting the requirements of
Section 21080.5. Acknowledgement and adoption of the Coastal Commission suggested modifications is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and no environmental analysis
is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the suggested modifications will not have a fiscal impact on the City.

Re: Certification of Major Amendment ##2-99D (Kelly Ranch), :
Dear Mr. Wayne:
On July 11,200O the California Coastal Commission approved the above referenced Local
Coastal Program (LCP) amendment request. In its action, the Commission adopted land use and
implementation plan revisions to the Carlsbad LCP. The attached modifications contain the
specific changes adopted by the Commission.
Before the amendment request can become effectively certified, the Executive Director must
determine that implementation of the approved amendment will be consistent with the
Commission’s certification order. This is necessary because the amendment was certified with
suggested modifications.
Jn order for the Executive Director to make this determination, the local government must
formally acknowledge receipt of the Commission’s resolution of certification, including any
terms or suggested modifications; and take any formal action which is required to satisfy them,
such as revisions to land use policies, rezonings or other ordinance or map revisions.
As soon as the necessary documentation is received in this office and accepted, the Executive
Director will report his/her determination to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled
public hearing. If you have any questions about the Commission’s action or this final
certification procedure, 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 in any way
possible to continue the successful implementation of the local coastal program.

system. The plan shall be reviewed and approved by the consulting soils engineer or
engineering geologist to ensure the plan is in conformance with their recommendations.
The plan shall be designed in consideration of the following criteria, and approved prior
to issuance of a coastal development permit:
a. Maxim&e the percentage of permeable surfaces and green space to allow more
percolation of runoff into the ground and /or design site with the capacity to
convey or store peak runoff from a storm and release it at a sIow rate so as to
minimize the peak discharge into storm drams or receiving water bodies;
b. Use porous materials for or near walkways and driveways where feasibie;
C. Incorporate design elements which will serve to reduce directly connected
impervious area where feasible. Options include the use of alternative design
features such as concrete grid driveways, and/or pavers for walkways.
d. Runoff from driveways, streets and other impervious surfaces shall be collected
and directed through a system of vegetated and/or gravel filter strips or other
media filter devices, where feasible. Selected filter elements shall be designed to
1) trap sediment, particulates and other solids and 2) remove or mitigate
contaminants through infiltration and/or biological uptake. The drainage system
shall also be designed to convey and discharge runoff from the building site in a
non-erosive manner.

stormwater conveyance system, or any receiving water body. Options to meet
this requirement include the use of vegetative filter strips or other media filter
devices, clarifiers, grassy swales or berms, vacuum devices or a combination
thereof. Selected BMPs shah be designed to collectiveiy infiltrate, filter or treat
the volume of runoff produced from each and every storm event up to and
including the 85* percentile 24-hour runoff event. BMPs shall be engineered and
constructed in accordance with the guidance and specifications provided in the
California Stormwater Best Management Handbooks (Commercial and
Industrial).

TO: CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR d
SUBJECT: LCPA 97-09(A) KELLY RANCH
Governments and agencies, including Carlsbad (copermittees) in San Diego
County is currently reviewing Tentative Order No. 2001-01, NPDES No.
CA0108758 prepared by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board,
San Diego Region. The “suggested modifications” adopted by the Coastal
Commission for the Kelly Ranch are consistent with Tentative Order No. 2001-
01. However, the City along with the other copermittees has requested certain
revisions to the discharge requirements for urban runoff covered by the Tentative
Order.
It is our intention to ultimately adopt the discharge requirements imposed by the
Regional Water Control Board. If those requirements were different from the
requirements contained in the “suggested modifications” the City would not adopt
the Coastal Commission’s language as currently proposed. In order to put the
Commission on notice of Carlsbad’s intention, the Council Resolution adopting
the “suggested modifications” has been revised to add the word “substantially”,
as follows:
3. That the suggested modifications to Local Coastal Program
Amendment LCPA 97-09, are approved substantially as shown in
Attachment “A”.
