Christine Reynolds, 2642 Galicia Way, stated she lives above La Costa Avenue and several hundred feet of underbrush is involved on her property down to La Costa Avenue.

CITY MANAGER ADDITIONAL BUSINESS: City Manager Frank Aleshire reported to Council Members on a proposed County General Plan Amendment to be considered by the County Board of Supervisors at their meeting on April 16, 1986. He stated that the proposed County General Plan Amendment is on property located south of Olivenhain Road. Since the City is completing a traffic study for south Carlsbad, Council should be informed about the proposal to increase density, since that impacts traffic. He indicated that the Carlsbad Planning staff had sent letters to the County containing their concerns about this proposed amendment as well as a previously proposed amendment in the area, and he distributed copies of those letters to the Council. OFF-AGENDA ITEM: Council agreed to consider an Off-Agenda Item with regard to the General Plan Amendment before the Board of Supervisors on property at Olivenhain Road and €1 Camino Real. Roy 3enkins, San Dieguito Planning Group, spoke regarding the proposed project at El Camino Real and Olivenhain Road. They are asking this project be continued until Project No. 8602 is considered, which will be in the next half of the year.

File number 8602 is another Plan Amendment in that area, and is similar to file number 8601. However, both matters should be heard at the same time. Mr 3enkins said all of the care that Carlsbad has taken to consider the traffic in the Olivenhain/El Camino Real area and get control of that problem would be lost if the developers were allowed to go forward with the proposed project. He suggested a member of staff or a member of the Council speak before the Board of Supervisors, 15/ - COUNCIL IF % 9C MEMBERS % % Casler r Chick F Lewis XI :. : 4 I) 0 MINUTES April 15, 1986 Page 7 OFF-AGENDA ITEM: (continued) Mr 3enkins stated the current density on the property is 2.9 units per acre and the developer is requesting 29 units per acre.
