Mr. Agatep continued that if the Site 2 property owners
submit a Master Development Plan that provides for a
mixed use program now or in the future, and go through the
normal discretionary processes that are required by the
City to meet the General Plan, they would request that
some form of endorsement by Council accompany them to the
Coastal Commission at such time to request an amendment to
the LCP.
The City Manager reported on the discussion and outcome of
the November 18, 1981 meeting held between representatives
of the Coastal Commission and the City of Carlsbad. He
stated since the State adopted the LCP, the State would be
the proper party to amend it. Further, if Council
approves the Staff recommendation, developers would have
two permit authorities through which to process.
Therefore, the owners would be free to submit proposed
changes directly to the Commission, in that the City is
not a party to the LCP.
Mr. Doug Draper, 3325 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles,
representing Mr. Joseph Sherman, owner of 30 acres of land
in Site 2, addressed Council. Mr. Draper spoke in favor
of the mixed use proposal; however, indicated that the
property owners were operating under the assumption
that the City had to change the plan.
The City Attorney stated this is not a new policy, and
the City's position has always been that the City will
not administer the State mandated plan.
Mr. John Kalogeris, T & C Associates, representing KTS,
333 South Figueroa, Los Angeles, addressed Council. Mr.
Kalogeris inquired if the.City intends to adopt an LCP in
connection with Proposition 20.
Mayor Packard explained that unless there is significant
change at the State level, it would not be adopted in
this area. Discussion reflected same.
Mr. Peter MacKauf addressed Council. Mr. MacKauf stated
that he was present to address his piece of property
that lies in Site 2. He spoke in favor of the position
taken by Council on the matter.
Mr. MacKauf continued stating there is uncertainty as to
the extent to which the State Coastal Staff and Commission
will hear the petitions of private parties, and once the
subsidy program starts it generates momentum. He 1 suggested Council consider a minimal extension of possibly
six months, to give those property owners in Site 2 an
opportunity to confirm that the State will hear their
petitions and amendments when they are ready, without the
momentum of the subsidy program.
Mr. Spires, representing the Occidental property owners,
addressed Council. Mr. Spires indicated that the Site 2
property owners were given ample time to submit their
mixed use plans, and requested that there be no further
delay.
