Subject: Adoption of Ordinance No. CS-407 – Inns at Buena Vista Creek
Districts: All
Recommended Action
Adopt Ordinance No. CS-407 approving amendments to the citywide zoning and local coastal
program zoning maps to modify the zoning designations on a 2.66-acre parcel to allow a zone
change from General Commercial (C-2) to Open Space (OS) and a local coastal program zone
change from General Commercial (C-2) to Open Space (OS) to correspond with a proposed
wetland buffer/habitat restoration area for an approved hotel development project in the City
of Oceanside along Carlsbad’s northern border generally located south of State Route 78 and
east of Jefferson Street within the Mello II segment of the Local Coastal Program and Local
Facilities Management Zone 1.
Executive Summary/Discussion
Ordinance No. CS-407 was introduced and first read at the City Council meeting held on Oct. 19,
2021. On a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Blackburn, seconded by Council Member Bhat-Patel, the
City Council voted 5-0 to introduce Ordinance No. CS-407. The second reading allows the City
Council to adopt the ordinance, which will become effective 30 days after its adoption. This
ordinance will become effective within the Coastal Zone thirty days after its adoption or upon
Coastal Commission approval, whichever occurs later.
Fiscal Analysis
All required improvements needed to serve this project will be funded by the developer, so
there is no cost to the city from this action.
Next Steps
The City Clerk will have the ordinance, or a summary of the ordinance, published in a
newspaper of general circulation within 15 days following adoption of the ordinance. Following
this action, staff will submit an application for a local coastal program amendment to the
California Coastal Commission for review and consideration. During this period, the commission
will also be considering a consolidated local coastal program for development occurring within
the City of Oceanside, the City of Carlsbad and the commission’s jurisdiction. Following the
commission’s action, city staff will ensure that all project conditions are satisfied and that the

project complies with all applicable regulations and laws prior to issuance of development
permits.
Environmental Evaluation
Whenever the city has been identified as a responsible agency for a project, Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 19.04.030 delegates to the City Planner the authority to act on the city’s behalf
regarding such a project. The City Planner has determined that the potential environmental
effects of the project were adequately analyzed by a previously certified environmental impact
report and mitigation monitoring and reporting program for the construction of the Inns at
Buena Vista Creek as adopted by the City of Oceanside, acting as lead agency in the preparation
of the environmental report. The report was assigned State Clearinghouse No. 2014061090 and
was prepared in accordance with state guidelines to evaluate the potential environmental
impacts associated with the project. The City of Carlsbad, acting as a responsible agency
through the City Planner, found that the project has no new significant environmental effect
not analyzed as significant in the certified environmental impact report and mitigation
monitoring and reporting program, none of the circumstances requiring further environmental
compliance under CEQA Guidelines Section 15163 exist and all feasible mitigation measures,
identified in the environmental impact report and mitigation monitoring and reporting program
that are appropriate to this phase of the project will be incorporated.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in keeping with the Ralph M. Brown Act and it was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date.
