SUBJECT: ZC 01-03/LCPA 01-04/CDP 01-07 -LYNN PARCEL MAP -Request for a
recommendation of adoption of a Negative Declaration, and recommendation of
approval of a Zone Change, Local Coastal Program Amendment to change the

I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4987, 4988
4989, and 4990, RECOMMENDING ADOPTION of a Negative Declaration and
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of a Zone Change (ZC 01-03), Local Coastal Program

II. INTRODUCTION
The proposed project is a Zone Change, Local Coastal Program Amendment, and Coastal
Development Permit to subdivide and change the zoning and Local Coastal Program land use
designation from Limited Control (L-C) to Residential -Single Family -7,500 square foot lot
size minimum-Qualified Overlay Zone (R-1-7,500-Q) for a 2.027 acre parcel ofland located on
the west side of Black Rail Road, south of future Poinsettia Lane and north of Aviara Parkway.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the parcel into four lots. The project complies with City
standards and all necessary :findings can be made for the approvals being requested. The Zone
Change and Local Coastal Program Amendment require City Council approval.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The 2.027-acre project site is located within the Zone 20 Specific Plan and Local Facilities
Management Zone 20. It is bordered to the north by a_vacant parcel, to the east by Black Rail
Road, to the south by a single-family subdivision (Carnation -Encantada by Ryland Homes), and
single family/agriculture (Cardoza) to the west. The property is developed with a single-family
residence (Lynn) and improved with nonnative plants and lawn. The property does not have any
sensitive vegetation or steep slope constraints; all of the 2.027 site is developable.
The proposed Zone Change and Local Coastal Program designations are necessary to change the
Limited Control (L-C) designation of the property to One-family Residential, 7,500 square foot

lot size minimum, Qualified Development Overlay Zone (R-1-7,500 -Q) to implement the
Residential Low-Medium (RLM) General Plan designation.
The project includes a request for a minor subdivision {MS 01-04). The applicant proposes to
divide the property into four lots. The minor subdivision is an administrative action to be
approved by the Planning Director and Public Works Director after Planning Commission and
City Council actions on the Zone Change, Local Coastal Program Amendment and Coastal
Development Permit.
At this point there are no building plans, elevations, or grading proposed for the subdivision.
The Q-Overlay requires the approval of a Site Development Plan, for development of more than
a single-family home, by the Planning Commission prior to building permit issuance.
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and sta.J;ldards:
A. Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. R-1-7,500, Qualified Development Overlay Zone (R-1-7,500-Q) Zone Regulation;
C. Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203);
D. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program, the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone,
and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone.
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of
the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. General Plan
The General Plan and Local Coastal Program designation for the project site is Residential Low-
Medium (RLM). The surrounding properties in Zone 20 are General Plan designated RLM as
shown on the attached Exhibit "X." This designation allows single-family residential
development at a range of 0-4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). The RLM range has a Growth
Control Point of 3.2 du/ac. The density of the proposed single-family subdivision is 2.45 du/ac.
The project complies with all elements of the General Plan as illustrated in Table A below:

development
B. R-1-7, 500-Q Regulation
The project site, part of a County island annexed in 1987, is currently zoned Limited Control
(L-C). The L-C zone designation is given to annexed properties and is an interim zone for areas
where planning for future land uses has not been completed nor have plans of development been
formalized. Proposed is a zone change from L-C to R-1-7,500-Q. This will result in the zoning
for the site being consistent with the General Plan Land Use designations ofRLM. The proposed
zone is also compatible with the existing adjacent residentially zoned properties and probable
future residential zones of the adjacent L-C zoned properties.
C. Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203)
The project is within an area subject to the Zone 20 Specific Plan. The Zone 20 Specific Plan
provides a framework for the development of the vacant properties within Zone 20 to ensure the
logical and efficient provision of public facilities and community amenities for the future
residents of Zone 20. The project complies with the following requirements of the Specific Plan
as demonstrated in Table C below.

D. Local Coastal Program
The project site is located within Site III of the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program.
Development of the project site is also subject to, and consistent with, tlle requirements of the
Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone. Approval
of a Coastal Development Permit is required for the project. One of the primary requirements of
the applicable coastal regulations pertains to the conversion of agricultural land to urban use.
The project has been conditioned to ensure the payment of an agricultural conversion mitigation
fee, which will mitigate the loss of agricultural resources by preserving or enhancing other
important coastal resources. The grading restrictions that apply in the coastal zone are proposed
as conditions of the Coastal Development Permit. The project site does not have any sensitive
coastal resources in the form of slopes over 25% or native vegetation.
The Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCP A) is required to implement the proposed zone
change from L-C to R-1-7,500-Q. The LCPA will result in the zoning and coastal land use
designations for the site to be consistent and provide consistency with the LCP land use
designation of Residential Low-Medium (0-4 dwelling units per acre). No comments were
received during the required six-week LCPA public notice.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff has conducted an environmental impact assessment to determine if the project could have a
potentially significant effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA guidelines and the
Environmental Protection Ordinance (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The General
Plan land use designation remains the same. The project falls within the scope of the City's
MEIR for the City of Carlsbad General Plan update (EIR 93-01) certified in September, 1994, in
which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was adopted for cumulative impacts to air
quality and traffic. MEIR's may not be used to review projects if it was certified more than five
years prior to the filing of an application for a later project except under certain circumstances.
The City is currently reviewing the 1994 MEIR to determine whether it is still adequate to
review subsequent projects. Although the MEIR was certified more than five years ago, the
City's preliminary review of its adequacy finds that no substantial changes have occurred with
respect to the circumstances under which the MEIR was certified. The only potential changed
circumstance, the intersection failure at Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real, is in the
process of being mitigated to below a level of significance. Additionally, there is no new
available information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the
MEIR was certified. Therefore, the MEIR remains adequate to review later projects. All
feasible mitigation measures identified by the MEIR which are appropriate to this project have
been incorpora~ed into the project. The initial study (EIA-Part II) prepared in conjunction with
ZC 01-03/LCPA 01-04/CDP 01-07 -LYNN PARCEL MAP
June 20, 2001
Page5
this project determined that there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the property or
to this project that are considered direct, significant or adverse impacts. No mitigation measures
are required or proposed for the project. The environmental documents for the project were sent
to the State Clearinghouse for circulation and no comments were received. In consideration of
the foregoing, on April 4, 2001, the Planning Director issued a Negative Declaration for the
proposed project.
