RE: PROPOSED REZONING OF THE SEASIDE BISTRO PROPERTY
Dear Ms. Eubanks:
In May 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 96-168 (copy attached),
declaring its intention to change the zoning designations of three neighboring
parcels along Carlsbad Boulevard to conform to the parcels’ General Plan and
Local Coastal Program land use designations. One of these parcels is the
Seaside Bistro (Sandbar) property at 3878 Carlsbad Boulevard (Assessor’s
Parcel Number 204-253-20). The other two parcels are at 3862 Carlsbad
Boulevard (APNs 204-253-13 and 14) and are owned by the Charles
Ledgemood Trust. Since current County Assessor’s information shows you as
owner of the Seaside Bistro property, I want to inform you that the Planning
Department has begun the process to propose a rezoning as intended by the
Council. The relevant case numbers are Zoning Amendment ZC 99-08 and
Local Coastal Program Amendment LCPA 00-01.
As proposed, the existing zoning designations on both the City Zoning Map and
Local Coastal Program Zoning Map would change from either neighborhood or
general commercial to multiple-family residential and Beach Area Overlay Zone
(see below). In compliance with state planning law, this would cause the zoning
to be consistent with both the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, both of
which designate the parcels as high-density residential. As you may know, the
proposed change also would be compatible with all surrounding zoning
designations. The chart below details the proposed changes:

PROPOSED REZOhamG OF THE SEASIDE BISTRO PROPERTY
June7,2000
Besides the Council resolution, I have enclosed the following items:
1. The description of the General Plan RH land use designation
2. Zoning Ordinance Chapter 21.16, containing the R-3 Zone standards
3. Zoning Ordinance Chapter 21.82, containing the Beach Area Overlay
Zone standards
4. The Environmental Impact Assessment Form - Part II and the
Negative Declaration prepared for the proposed zone change
The Negative Declaration mentioned above is a declaration by the City that the
proposed zone change will not have a significant impact on the environment.
The potential impacts analyzed and the reasons for the conclusion are contained
in the Environmental Impact Assessment Form - Part II. Currently, the Negative
Declaration is undergoing public review and comment. Thereafter, staff will
schedule the proposed zone change for public hearing review before the
Planning Commission and City Council. Finally, some time after Council action,
the California Coastal Commission must also consider the rezoning proposal
since it is an amendment to the Local Coastal Program Zoning Map change. I
expect the entire process may be completed toward the end of the year.
Before each public hearing, staff will mail you meeting notices, agendas, and
staff reports. If you have any questions about this letter or the proposed zone
change, I welcome your call. My phone number is 6024618.
