REASONS TO SUPPORT PROPOSED CHANGE TO
SECOND ADDENDUM TO THE CARLSBAD HABITAT MANAGEMENT
PLAN BASED ON COMMENTS Dated December 16,2002 FROM THE
CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION AND INCLUDING
MISCELLANEOUS REVISIONS
C THE OAKS AT BATIQUITOS - CARLSBAD CALIFORNIA
Over the past ten years we have been working with the City of Carlsbad, U.S. Department of Fish and Witdlife and the California Department of Fish and Game.
Three years ago we came to a joint agreement with all three of these agencies to
support our project as presently designed. All three agencies agreed to a hardline
development plan and included this plan within the City's Habitat Management Plan
(HMP) (see attached figure 25).
The staff suggested language contained within Policy 3-8.14 would result in a
taking of 75% of our property. Furlher, the requirement that the development be
clustemd only on the western portion of the property results in a taking of two of
the four lots.
Property has been in Family ownership for over thirty years.
Properly has been properly zoned (R-1) for the proposed
development for over twenty years.
Map and planning has been in process for over ten years and
included hundreds, of meetings between ourselves, our biologists, our
engineers and land planners, along with the City of Carlsbad Planning
and Environmental personnel, and the Departments of Fish and
Game and Fish 8t Wildlife personnel. This is not a project that was conceived yesterday, but rather a project that has evolved through a
coliaborative effort of hundreds of experts.
Development proposal is consistent with surrounding property and
community.
The property is located 2 % miles inland from the coast.
The local jurisdiction and both wildlife agencies have agreed to the
hardline set forth as figure 25,
For the proposed development, the property does not require a zone
change.
