Dear Chairman Wan and Commissioners:
Our company is the developer for the Tabata property in Carlsbad that is the subject of
the City's LCP Amendment No. 1-2001-C. The intent of the amendment is simply to
bring the zoning of the property into conformance with the land use designation of the
certified LCP. Both the City Planning Commission and the City Council unanimously
approved the amendment.
We join the City in support of your staffs recommendation to approve this LCPA as
submitted.
The following pages provide very brief background data and graphics to aid your review.
We look forward to your public hearing on Friday, October 12 when we will be present
to answer any questions you may have.
Very truly yours,

of development are appropriate for the site and the surrounding area and
consistent with the certified LCP land use plan. The City supports the staff
recommendation. I
