11. AMENDMENT REOUEST
The proposed Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment involves changes to both the
LCP land use and zoning designations for a 5 acre parcel of land located on the southeast
comer of Interstate 5 and Poinsettia Lane within the Mello I Land Use Plan (LUP)
segment of the City’s LCP. The proposed LCP amendment involves changing the land
use designation on the site from a N (neighborhood commercial) designation to a RM
(residential medium density, 4-8 dua) designation. The zone designation would change
from C- 1-Q (Neighborhood Commercial) to RDM-Q (Residential Density Multiple) and
the visitor-serving overlay currently applied to the site would be removed. The proposed
LCP amendment also involves a modification to the Mello I LUP text to reflect the
proposed residential designation, and to incorporate land use policies previously adopted
with the Mello II LUP segment that applied to portions of the Mello I LUP segment.

The West Batiquitos Lagoon/ Sammis Properties segment was certified in 1985. The
East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment was certified in 1988. The Village
Redevelopment Area LCP was certified in 1988; the City has been issuing coastal
development permits there since that time. On October 21, 1997, the City assumed
permit jurisdiction and has been issuing coastal development permits for all remaining
segments except Agua Hedionda. The Agua Hedionda Lagoon LCP segment remains as
a deferred certification area until an implementation plan is certified. The subject
amendment request affects the Mello I segment of the certified LCP.
