STAFF RECOMMENDATION ON MAJOR AMENDMENT 1-89 TO THE CITY OF CARLSBAD
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM (For Public Hearing and Possible Final Action at the Coastal Commission Hearing of December 12-15, 1989)
SYNOPS 1 S
BACKGROUND
The Carlsbad Local Coastal Program consists of six geographic segments.
Pursuant to Sections 30170(f) and 30171 of the Public Resources Code, the
Coastal Commission prepared and approved two portions of the LCP, the Mello I
and I1 segments in 1980 and 1981, _respectively.
found several provisions of the Mello I and I1 segments unacceptable and ~
declined to adopt the LCP implementing ordinances for the LCP. .In October,
1985, the Commission approved major amendments, related to steep slope
protection and agricultural preservation, to the Mello I and I1 segments,
which resolved the major differences between the City and the Coastal
Comission. working towards certification of all segments of its local coastal program.
Since the 1985 action, the Commission has approved several major amendments to
the City of Carlsbad LCP.
However, the City of Carlsbad

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT REQUEST
The City of Carlsbad proposes to amend all six segments of the City's Local
Coastal Program Land Use Plan to prohibit on-shore oil and gas support
facilities except upon a determination of the City Council that the following
six findings are true: the project will pose no danger to life and property; the project will not pose a potential threat of damage or injuries to
residents; the benefits of the project clearly outweigh any adverse
environmental effects; no feasible alternatives to the project exist; the
approval at the particular location outweighs any potential harm to public
health, safety, peace morals, comfort or general welfare; and the proposed
project is permitted within the underlying zone.

The amendment request seeks to amend the zoning code to limit on-shore oil and gas support facilities to the C-M (Heavy Commercial-Limited Industrial), M
(Industrial), and P-M (Planned Industrial) zones. A Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) would also be required in these specified zones.
SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission approve, as submitted by the City of
Carlsbad, LCP Amendment 1-89, to allow for the regulation of on-shore support
facilities for off-shore oil and gas exploration and development activities,
including changes to the City's zoning code limiting on-shore support facilities to the C-M, M and P-M zones and the requirement that a conditional
use permit (CUP) be granted for such uses.

PART I. OVERVIEW ~ -
A. LCP HISTORY
The City of Carlsbad Local Coastal Program (LCP) currently consists of six segments: the Agua Hedionda Lagoon LCP segment comprised of approximately
1,100 acres; the Carlsbad Mello I LCP segment with 2,000 acres; the Carlsbad
Mello I1 LCP segment which includes approximately 5,300 acres; the West
Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties segment with 200 acres; the East
Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Properties segment with 1,500 acres and the Village
Area Redevelopment segment with approximately 100 acres (see Exhibit 1).
The Mello I, Mello I1 and Agua Hedionda segments of the Carlsbad LUP cover the
majority of the City's coastal zone. They are also the segments of the LCP
which 1nvolve.the greatest number of coastal resource issues and have been the
subject of the most controversy over the past years.
involved in the process of certifying the land use plans for these segments
were agricultural preservation, protection of steep-sloping hillsides and
wetland habitats, the provision of adequate visitor-serving commercial
facilities, and preservation of the scenic resources of the area.
Among those issues
4
In the summer of 1985, the City submitted two amendment requests to the Commission; and, in October of 1985, the Commission certified amendments 1-85
and 2-85 to the Mello I and Mello I1 segments, respectively. These (major)
amendments to the LCP involved changes to the agricultural preservation, steep
slope protection and housing policies-of the Mello I and I1 segments of the
LCP. After certification of these amendments, the City adopted the Mello I
Page 3
and 71 LCP segments and began the process of preparing documents for "effective" certification of the entire LCP and assumption of permit authority
for the City's coastal zone.
In March of 1988, the Commission approved the Implementation Program for the
Village Area Redevelopment segment of the LCP.
cation maps occurred in December and the City assumed permit authority for
this LCP segment plan area on December 14, 1988. To date, no other segments
of the LCP have become fully certified.
A review of the post-certifi-
The City is currently in the process of preparing the various ordinance and
post-certification maps for implementation of the remainder of its LCP. The
City is also expected to prepare a single LCP document that incorporates into the originally-certified LCP segments all the LCP amendments which have occurred since the time-of the segments' certifications.
8. STANDARD OF REVIEW
The standard of review for land use plans, or their amendments, is found in
Section 30512 of the Coastal Act. This section requires the Commission to
certify an LUP or LUP amendment if it finds that it meets the requirements of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. Specifically, it states:
(c) The Commission shall certify a land use plan, or any amendments
thereto, if it finds that a land use plan meets the requirements of, and
is-in conformity with, the policies of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
30200). Except as provided in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), a
decision to certify shall require a majority vote of the appointed
membership of the Commission.
Pursuant to Section 30513 of the Coastal Act, the Commission may only reject
zoning ordinances or other implementing actions or their amendments, on the
grounds that they do not conform with, or are inadequate to carry out, the
provisions of the certified land use plan. The Commission shall take action
by a majority vote of those Commissioners present.
C. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The City has held numerous Planning Commission and City Council meetings with regard to the the subject amendment request. All of these local hearings were
duly noticed to the public. Notice of the subject review has been distributed
to all known interested parties.

PART 111. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT/LCPA 89-1
A. AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION.
The,City of Carlsbad praposes to amend all six segments of the City's Local
Coastal Program Land Use Plan. That is, the Mello I, Hello 11, Agua Hedionda,
East Batiquitos/Hunt Properties, West Batiquitos/Samnis Properties and Village
Redevelopment Area segments of the Carlsbad LCP will be amended to restrict
on-shore oil and gas support facilities except upon a determination of the
City Council that the following six findings are true:
(a) Approval of the proposed project and facilities will pose no danger to life and property to residents of the neighborhood, community or
City.
(b) Approval of the proposed project will not pose a potential threat of damage or injuries to nearby residents.
(c) The benefits of the proposed project clearly outweigh the possible adverse environmental effects.
(d) There are no feasible alternatives to the proposed project.
(e) The location and approval of the on-shore facilities at the particular location clearly outweigh any potential harm to public
health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general welfare of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood or community and will
not be detrimental or injurious to property in the neighborhood, community or to the general welfare of the City, and
(f) The proposed project is permitted within the underlying zone.

- B. CONFORMANCE WITH SECTION 30001.5 OF THE COASTAL ACT.
The Commission finds, pursuant to Section 30512.2b of the Coastal Act, that the portion of the LCP amendment known as LCPA 89-1, as set forth in the
resolution for certification, is consistent with the policies and requirements
of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and does meet the basic state goals specified
in Section 30001.5 of the Coastal Act which states:
The Legislature further finds and declares that the basic goals of
the state for the coastal zone are to:
a) Protect, maintain and where feasible, enhance and restore the
overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and
manmade resources.
b) Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of coastal
zone resources taking into account the social and economical needs of the
people of the state.
c) Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone consistent with sound
resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of
private property owners.
d) Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other developments on the coast.
e) Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in
preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the coastal zone.
C. CONFORMITY OF LCPA 89-1 WITH CHAPTER 3 POLICIES OF THE COASTAL ACT.
1. Planning and Locatinq New Development. Section 30250(a) of the Act
states, in part:
(a) New residential, commercial, or industrial development, except as otherwise provided in this division, shall be located within, contiguous
with, or in close proximity to, existing developed areas able to
accomnodate it or, where such areas are not able to accommodate it, in
other areas with adequate public services and where it will not have a
significant adverse effects, either individually or cumulatively, on
coastal resources.
In addition, Section 30260 of the Act states:
Coastal-dependent industrial facilities shall be encouraged to locate
or expand within existing sites and shall be permitted reasonable
long-term growth where consistent with this division. However, where new
or expanded coastal-dependent industrial facilities cannot feasibly be -
accommodated consistent with other policies of this division, they may
Page 7
nonetheless be permitted in accordance with this section and Sections.
30261 and 30262 if (1) alternative locations are infeasible or more
environmentally damaging; (2) to do otherwise would adversely affect the public welfare; and (3) environmental effects are mitigated to the maximum
extent feasible.
The proposed amendment to the Carlsbad LUP would have one material effect on
land use decisions in the City's coastal zone. On-shore support facilities
for off-shore oil and gas development would only be allowed where six specific findings could be made. The findings, listed above, primarily relate to
insuring that the public health, safety and welfare are not abridged by the development of such uses, that no adverse environmental impacts will result
from such uses, and that they are consistent with the underlying zone
designation of any candidate site.
Currently, there are no coastal dependent industrial uses or sites within the
incorporated limits of the City of Carlsbad.
located directly on the shoreline is the San Diego Gas & Electric Encina Generation facility located at Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Several other industrial
and limited-industrial/comnercial type facilities are or have been located in
the southerly portions of the City, but these sites are located inland from
Carlsbad Blvd. and are not directly on the coastline. None of the Carlsbad
LCP segments contain policies governing coastal dependent industrial uses.
The only industrial facility
In past actions, the Comnission has found that certain on-shore support
facilities for oil and gas exploration and development constitute coastal dependent industrial facilities. In reviewing the proposed LUP amendment, the Comission is mindful of the high priority placed on coastal dependent
industrial uses by the policies of the Coastal Act. Clearly, land use
policies which would prohibit coastal dependent industrial facilities,
including the construction of certain types of on-shore oil and gas support facilities, from being developed in appropriate locations would not be
consistent with Sections 30250 or 30260 of the Act.
The proposed amendment does not, however, prohibit such uses. On-shore support facilities would be allowed, subject to findings that such uses are
not inconsistent with public health, safety and welfare needs. Although the
wording is different, the findings required under LCPA 89-1 are generally consistent with the requirements of Section 30260, which allow new coastal
dependent industrial uses only where there are no feasible less
environmentally-damaging alternatives, no adverse impacts to the public
welfare, and where mitigation has been provided. Therefore, give that the proposed amendment would not preclude the City's ability to provide for high-
priority land uses, the Commission finds that the subject amendment request is
consistent with Sections 30250 and 30260 of the Act.

PART IV. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT/ZCA 89-1
__ A. AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION
As a companion to LCPA 89-1, the City has also proposed an amendment to the zoning code, ZCA 89-1.
facilities to the City's industrial zones, the P-M (Planned Industrial), C-M
(Heavy Comercial/Limited Industrial) and M (Industrial) zones. Such uses would be allowed only subject to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
ZCA 89-1 would limit on-shore oil and gas support
B. CONFORMITY OF THE IHPLEHENTATTON PLAN AMENDMENT WITH THE CERTIFIED LAND USE PLAN
In review of the proposed zoning code amendment, the amendment must be
consistent with and adequate to carry out the policies of the certified LUP. With regard to this particular amendment to the City's Implementation plan,
one additional factor is also Important; the availability of industrially
zoned land at or near the shoreline that could accommodate coastal dependant
industrial facilities.
The proposed LUP amendment would seek to regulate the use of shoreline and near-shoreline properties through the application of specific criteria and the
adoption of mandatory findings that indicate that oil and gas support
facilities would not have any adverse impacts on public health, safety and
welfare. The proposed zoning amendment proposes to implement the making of
such findings through the CUP process.
for the discretionary action mechanism necessary to make such findings.
is, the CUP process provides for review by a decision-making body, which is
empowered to make the necessary findings.
-
The use of the CUP process would allow
That
Of greater significance, however, is the provision of both appropriate zones
for on-shore support facilities and appropriate land available with the zone
designations. The City of Carlsbad has proposed to utilize three industrial
zones for potential on-shore support facilities, the M, C-M and P-M zones.
These industrial zones would, generally speaking, support the broad types of
uses that would include activities normally associated with on-shore oil and gas facilities. The allowed uses in the current zoning code would include
manufacturing, processing, storage, distribution facilities, machine shops and
other uses that would be similar to on-shore oil and gas support facilities. In this respect, ZCA 89-1 is consistent with and adequate to carry out the
policies of the amended LUP.
The remaining question revolves around the availability of industrially zoned
land suitable for on-shore support facilities.
existing uses of the City's actual shoreline, many of the the typical kinds of
on-shore oil and gas support facilities would not find suitable locations on
Carlsbad's beach front. The City supports no marinas, harbors or piers, and
has not developed a transportation infrastructure necessary to provide direct
support to an off-shore oil platform, as one example. The majority of the ~
shoreline is characterized by either steep coastal bluffs and/or public
recreational facilities, including Carlsbad State Beach and South Carlsbad
Taken in the context of

State Beach, which, taken together, account for about 75% of the City's
s horel i ne.
The remaining areas which offer large parcels typically required by industrial uses, which could be suitable for industrial uses and which are located near
to the shoreline are located in south Carlsbad, between Carlsbad Blvd. and
1-5. The area is bounded on the north by Cannon Road, and on the south by
Poinsettia, and contains a number of large parcels with industrial zoning. Any or all of these sites could be utilized for certain types of on-shore
support facilities, other than those that require a waterfront location.
-
Given that existing property ownership and topography preclude the use of
immediate waterfront areas for industrial facilities, and given that
properties suitable for industrial uses are available in close proximity to
the shoreline, the Commission finds that the proposed amendment to the City's
zoning code will allow suitable areas for industrial use to accommodate for
on-shore oil and gas support facilities.
the potential for processing another land use plan and/or zoning amendment to
support a specific proposal. amendment request ZCA 89-1 is consistent with and adequate to carry out the
policies of all segments of the City of Carlsbad LUP, as amended.
In addition, there would always be

PART V. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT CONSIDERATIONS.
Section 21080.9 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exempts
local government from the requirement of preparing an environmental impact
report (EIR) in connection with its local coastal program or amendments to
it. Instead, the CEQA responsibilities are assigned to the Coastal
Commission. However, the Comission's LCP review and approval program has
been found by the Resources Agency to be functionally equivalent to the EIR
process [see Section 15251(f) of the CEQA guidelines.] Thus, under CEQA, both
the Commission and local government are relieved of the responsibility to
prepare an EIR for each LCP or amendment thereof. Commission is required in an LCP amendment submittal to find that the LCP
amendment does conform with CEQA provisions. In the case of the subject LCP
amendment request, the Commission finds that approval of the subject LCP
amendment would not result in significant environmental impacts under the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act.

Nevertheless, the
Specifically, the LCP amendment, provides for on-shore oil and gas support facilities, with adequate regulation to ensure that development of any such
facilities would not have any adverse impacts upon the general health, safety and welfare of the area, and that no feasible less environmentally-damaging
alternatives are available. Given these requirements in the amendment
request, the Commission finds that the subject LCP amendment submittal will
not result in significant environmental impacts under the meaning of the
California Environmental Quality Act. Furthermore, the Commission finds that
there are no feasible alternatives which have not been explored or implemented
which would reduce the potential for any such impacts under the meaning of
CEQA.

Proposed Policy: ON-SHORE OIL AND GAS SUPPORT FACILITIES
Since the location and maintenance of on-shore oil and gas support facilities including, but not limited to, processing plants, refineries, storage facilities, transfer stations, pipelines, warehouses, offices, tanker facilities, helicopter pads and other support facilities present adverse environmental impacts which may include catastrophic environmental damage to the marine ecosystem along Carl sbad's coast1 ine and such further adverse environmental impacts as increased air pollution, water pollution, noise, traffic, visual, scenic and aesthetic adverse impacts, such on-shore facilities are prohibited except upon a finding by the City Council that all of the following are true:
Approval of the proposed project and facilities will pose no danger to life and property to residents of the neighborhood, community or City.
Approval of the proposed project will not pose a potential threat
of damage or injuries to nearby residents.
The benefits of the proposed project clearly outweigh the possible adverse environmental effects.
There are no feasible alternatives to the proposed project.
The location and approval of the on-shore facilities at the particular location clearly outweigh any potential harm to pub1 ic
