RE: LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT FOR HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Dear Mr. Raives:
As we recently discussed, the City of Carlsbad is requesting a consistency certification for the
amended Habitat Management Plan (HMP). The HMP is accompanied by a Local Coastal Program
Amendment which incorporates the HMP and provides special conservation standards for coastal
zone properties in Carlsbad, as recommended by Coastal Commission staff. To assist you in your
review, we have enclosed:
1. The draft Habitat Management Plan including the second addendum.
2. The Local Coastal Program Amendment as approved by the Carlsbad City Council.
3. Copies of the Planning Commission staff report, resolutions of approval, and minutes.
4. Copies of the City Council agenda bill and resolutions of approval. Minutes will be forwarded
as soon as they are available.
5. Copies of all comment letters received
These documents are incorporated by reference into this consistency certification and provide the
analytical basis for this consistency certification. As required by 15 CFR 930.75(b), we have
concluded that the proposed Habitat Management Plan and Local Coastal Program Amendment
comply with the enforceable policies of California’s approved management program and will be
conducted in a manner consistent with such program. We ask that the California Coastal
Commission concur with our certification of consistency.
The City of Carlsbad has worked closely with the Coastal Commission over the past 2% years to
arrive at the documents being submitted to you now, which reflects their input to a very large degree.
Thank you for your assistance in helping us understand and comply with the consistency certification
process. We look forward to working with you as you complete this review. If you need additional
information, please contact Don Rideout at (760) 602-4602.
Since rely;
