The proposed expansion of the Carlsbad Aquafarms facility would require submittal of a conditional use permit amendment (see Item 1 below). However, no expansion of the facility could be supported until the Encinas Specific Plan update has been completed. Additionally, because the proposed expansion is within the boundaries of the Precise Development Plan being prepared for the proposed Carlsbad Desalination Plant and Encina Power Plant, it must be included in that plan to enable consideration of a future CUP amendment to expand the facility. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. The Planning Commission extended CUP 194(B)x2 and CUP 194(B)x3 as shown on the approved Exhibit “A for CUP 194(B)x2 dated May 18, 1994 on file in the Planning Department. The Coastal Permit exhibit submitted with the project application differs from the approved exhibit and includes areas that are no longer a part of the City issued CUP. The Carlsbad Aquaculture CUP for the existing facility can be extended; however, as indicated above, no expansion of the facility could be supported at this time. 2. If the applicant wishes to proceed with a CUP extension for the existing facility, please provide current certification from the State of California Department of Health Services for Shellfish Growing Area and Shellfish Handling and Marketing.
