The Carl sbad 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. However, the City of Carlsbad found several provisions of the Mello I and I1 segments unacceptable and declined to adopt the LCP implementing ordinances for the LCP.

protection and agricultural preservation, to the Mello I and I1 segments,
which resolved the major differences between the City and the Coastal

The proposed amendment modifies the certified land use and implementation plans for the Mello I1 segment regarding 35 properties bounded by Chinquapin Avenue, Garfield Street, the A.T.& S.F. railroad and the north shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Specifically, the amendment proposes a change in land use designation and zoning for certain properties within the subject area from Residential Medium High (RMH, 8-15 du/ac) to Residential Medium (RM, 4-8 du/ac) and retonings for certain properties within the subject area from RD-M (residential density multiple zone) to R-2 (duplex zoning).

The 423.5 acre site is located on the north side of Palomar Airport Road, south of the future extension of Cannon Road, and east of Paseo Del
