111. BACKGROUND
The City’s certified LCP contains six geographic segments as follows: Agua Hedionda,
Mello I, Mello 11, West Batiquitos LagoodSammis Properties and East Batiquitos
Lagoon/Hunt Properties and Village Redevelopment Area. Pursuant to Sections 30 170(f)
and 30171 of the Public Resources Code, the Coastal Commission prepared and approved
two portions of the LCP, the Mello I and II segments in 1980 and 1981, respectively.
The Village Redevelopment Area LCP was certified in 1988; the City has been issuing
coastal development permits there since that time. The Commission certified the Agua
Hedionda Land Use Plan in 1982. The West Batiquitos LagoodSammis Properties
segment was certified in 1985. The East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment was
certified in 1988. On October 2 1, 1997, the City assumed permit jurisdiction and has
been issuing coastal development permits for all of its 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 only the
Mello 11 segment of the LCP.

IV. AMENDMENT REOUEST
The subject local coastal program (LCP) amendment request was filed by the City of
Carlsbad on February 7,2003. The LCP amendment includes revisions and additions to
the LCP that parallel the City’s most recently adopted changes to the HMP, as provided
in the second HMP addendum. The purpose of the proposed additions and revisions to
these lad use plan segments is to provide additional habitat protection requirements and
conservation standards for the remaining undeveloped properties within the Carlsbad
coastal zone, concentrate future development adjacent to already-developed areas, and to
rtmncile differences between the certified LCP’ s provisions regarding encroachment and
preseyvatign of dud-criteria slopes and the provisions of the proposed HMP.
