SUB J ECT : Request to Waive Time Limits for portions of the City of
Carl sbad Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) 1-96, Commission
meeting of April 9-12, 1996
On January 24, 1996, the City of Carlsbad's LCP amendment request, LCPA 1-96,
was received in the San Diego Area office. The submittal was deemed complete and filed as of that date. The LCPA submittal consists of a number of
unrelated components proposing revisions to both the City's LCP Land Use Plans
(six separate segments) and Implementing Ordinances.
Pursuant to Section 30514 of the Coastal Act, amendments to certified LCPs are
required to be processed within the same time limits as the original land use
pjan or' implementation plan. Therefore, LCP amendments involving land use plan revisions must be acted upon by the Commission within 90 days; LCP
amendments involving implementing plan changes must be acted upon by the Commission in 60 days; and combined land use plan and implementation plan
amendments must be acted on by the Commission within 90 days of their filing. Based on the above-cited time limits, the proposed LCP amendment package,
which involves changes to both the land use plan and implementing ordinances, must be scheduled for review by the Commission at the April 9-12, 1996
meeting. However, Section 30517 of the Coastal Act and Section 13535(c) of
the California Code of Regulations state that the Commission may extend for
good cause the applicable time limits for a period not to exceed one year.
Because of the large number of components involved in the subject LCP
amendment request, Commission staff was unable to fully analyze and prepare
recommendations for the entire submittal for the Apri 1 agenda. Therefore,
staff requested the City's assistance in prioritizing the amendment submittal,
and the City responded that the following components be given first priority
and remain scheduled for 'Commission action at the April 9-12 meeting:
Carl sbad Ranch/Legol and, Avi ara P1 anni ng Area #5, Avi ara P1 anni ng Area #12,
