On January 12, 1994, the City of Carlsbad's proposed LCP amendment LCPA 91-02 (Poinsettia Shores Master Plan) was received in the San Diego area office. The submittal was not deemed complete and filed until February 26, 1994. On January 25, 1994, the City of Carlsbad's proposed LCP amendment LCPA 93-02
(Affordable Housing Density Bonuses) was received in the San Diego area
office. The submittal was deemed complete, as submitted, pursuant to Section
30510(b) of the Coastal Act. On March 1, 1994, the City of Carlsbad's
proposed LCP amendment LCPA 92-01 (Phase I11 of the Aviara Master Plan) was
received in the San Diego area office. The submittal was deemed complete, as
submitted, pursuant to Section 30510(b) of the Coastal Act. Each item was 'originally submitted as a separate amendment request.
Pursuant to Section 30514 of the Coastal Act, amendments to certified LCPs are required to be processed within the same time limits as their original land
use plan or implementation elements and local governments are limited to submitting only three major amendment requests in any calendar year. Therefore, LCP amendments involving land use plan revisions must be processed within 90 days; LCP amendments involving implementation plan changes must be processed within 60 days and combined land use plan and implementation plan
amendments must be acted on by the Commission within 90 days of its filing. In order to be heard within the allotted time period, the amendment requests would have to be agendized for Commission hearing at the April 1994 hearings.
Section 30517 of the Coastal Act and Section 13535(c) of the Regulations state, however, that the Commission may extend for good cause the applicable time limits for a period not to exceed one year. Although the City originally submitted these items separately, it has now requested the Commission hear the
three separate actions as one local coastal program amendment for the May 1994
hearing (see letter attached). Pursuant to the City's request, staff recommends the time extension be granted to allow all three items to be
reviewed at the same meeting as one amendment package.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Commission extend the 90 day
time limit for a period not to exceed one year. request is being scheduled for the May 10 - 13, 1994 hearings in Los Angeles.

SUBJEm LOCAL COASTAL PLAN AMENDMENT - AvlARA PHASE III - LCPA 92-01
Dear Mr. Damm,
Enclosed is an application by the City of Carlsbad for a Local Coastal Program Amendment
(Implementing Ordinances) for Phase I11 of the Aviara Master Plan. Please include this
LCPA application with the existing requests regarding Affordable Housing Density Bonuses
(Carlsbad Permit No. LCPA 93-02) and the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan (Carlsbad Permit
No. LCPA 91-02). The City would like these three actions to be considered as one Local
Coastal Program Amendment, provided a May hearing date can still be accomplished.
Should the grouping of the Aviara Phase 111 LCPA with the Density Bonus and Poinsettia
Shores requests cause a delay beyond the May hearing date, please process the enclosed
Aviara LCPA as a second, independent Local Coastal Program Amendment. Thank you for
your consideration. Please feel free to contact myself or Mike Grim at (619) 438-1161,
extensiori 4499, if you have any questions.
