The City’s certified LCP contains six geographic segments as follows: Agua Hedionda,
Mello I, Mello 11, West Batiquitos LagoodSammis Properties and East Batiquitos
Lagoon/Hunt 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 revises the City of Carlsbad LCP citywide.

housing affordable to lower income households. The second component proposes

basement. Currently, a basement must be at least 50% underground while the proposed
change would require that a basement must be at least 75% underground.
