111. AMENDMENT REOUEST
The subject amendment is to revise the certified Agua Hedionda Land Use Plan and
certified Mello 11 Land Use Plan and Implementation Plan segments of the City of
Carlsbad Local Coastal Program (LCP). The existing LCP for those &as affected by
this LCP amendment is the Kelly Ranch Master Plan. The amendment proposes to
rescind the existing master plan and replace it with standard land use plan designations
and zoning. Planning area and open space boundaries have been revised to reflect the
boundary of the 195+/-acre Wetland Preserve to be dedicated to the Department of Fish
and Game, and to protect environmentally sensitive habitat areas in response to the
requirements of the City of Carlsbad draft Habitat Management Plan.
IV. BACKGROUND
The City’s certified LCP contains six geographic segments as follows: Agua Hedionda,
Mello I, Mello 11, West Batiquitos LagoodSammis Properties and East Batiquitos
LagooniHunt Properties. 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 11 segments in 1980 and 1981, respectively. The Village
Redevelopment Area LCP was certified in 1988; the City has been issuing coastal

development permits there since that time. On October 21, 1997, the City assumed
permit jurisdiction and has been issuing coastal development permits for all of its
segments except Agua Hedionda. The Agua Hedionda Lagoon LCP segment remains as
a deferred certification area until an implementation plan is certified. The subject
amendment request affects both the Agua Hedionda and Mello II segments of the LCP.
