Planni ng Director Ci ty of Carl sbad 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 Re: Certification of Local Coastal Program Amendment 1-96C (Carl sbad Ranch) Dear Mr. Wayne, On April 11, 1996, the California Coastal Commission approved the above-descri bed amendment request. In its action, the Commission approved land use revisions to the Agua Hedionda and Mello I1 Land Use Plans, as well as revisions to the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. The amendment was approved with several suggested modifications; for your review and the City's adoption, the suggested modifications, as adopted, are shown on the attached exhibit. The Commission acted to adopt them pursuant to the staff recommendation which had been coordinated with City representatives. Before the amendment request can become effectively certified, the Executive Director must determine that implementation of the approved amendment will be consistent with the Commission's certification order. This is necessary because the amendment request was certified with suggested modifications. In order for the Executive Director to make this determination, the local government must formally acknowledge receipt of the Commission's resolution of certification, including any terms or suggested modifications; accept and agree to those terms and modifications; and take any formal action which is required to satisfy them, such as rezonings or other ordinance revisions. As we discussed in our phone conversation earlier this week, the adoption of the suggested modifications by the City Council will serve to complete the action on this LCP amendment. The City must simply agendize their adoption pursuant to your regular Council procedures. Adoption of the suggested modifications does not represent a separate LCP amendment action or trigger another si x week pub1 i c revi ew period. As soon as the necessary documentation is received in this office, and accepted, the Executive Director will report his/her determination to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled public hearing. questions about the Commission's action or this final certification procedure, please don't hesitate to call me.
