AMENDMENTS RELATIONSHIP TO AND EFFECT ON OTHER SECTIONS
OF THE PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED LCP
The Planned Development ,Ordinance is one of the implementing ordinances for
Carlsbad’s LCP. The proposed comprehensive amendment to the Planned
Development Ordinance will not effect other sections of the City’s certified LCP
and coastal resource policies and objectives. The amended ordinance includes a
provision (Section 21.45.20(D)) which specifies that if there is a conflict between
the regulations of the PD Ordinance and the City’s certified Local Coastal
Program (LCP) then the regulations of the LCP shall prevail.
ZONING MEASURES THAT WILL IMPLEMENT THE LCPA
A Zone Code Amendment (ZCA 01-01), which is the implementing ordinance for
this LCPA, was approved by the Carlsbad City Council on December 1 1,2001.
AFFECT OF PUBLIC ACCESS
The revised street and neighborhood design standards will not affect the public’s coastal
access nor prevent the provision of required public access improvements with the future
development of coastal properties in that all projects processed pursuant to these revised
standards shall be required to comply with all applicable provisions and policies of the
certified local coastal program, including coastal access. The proposed “livable
neighborhood” design standards will enhance the aesthetics of private streets and
driveways by creating narrower, pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined streets that slow
neighborhood traffic, and an improved streetscape, by reducing the dominance of garage
doors, requiring front porches, and enhanced front faqade articulation for residences. The
net effect of these will have little or no impact on coastal accessways.
6. ANALYSIS OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE CUMULATIVE
IMPACTS ON COASTAL RESOURCES
Coastal resources (i.e.; wetlands, or coastal slopes with gradients equal to or greater than
25% inclination with or without native vegetation) will not be affected by the revised
residential development and design standards. These revised standards will result in the
development of more “livable residential neighborhoods’’ on the developable
(unconstrained) areas of a property. All projects processed pursuant to these revised
standards shall be required to comply with all applicable provisions and policies of the
certified local coastal program and shall not result in significant adverse impacts to
coastal resources.
In addition, the proposed development standards revisions (i.e.; increasing residential lot
size and side yard setbacks, requiring a percentage of one-story homes and establishing a
lot coverage standard) should enhance coastal views by reducing house size and mass.
