In 2009-2010, an effort was started once again to administratively adjust general plan boundary Jines
to be consistent with the intent of the general plan. The use of Geographic Information Systems {GIS)
has made this project easier. The City's General Plan Land Use Element provides a program and
guidelines for completing this project.
The City's General Plan Land Use Element, Overall Land Use Pattern Implementing Policy and Action
Program C19 states:
Conduct a comprehensive review of General Plan boundary lines when improved
technology becomes available so that boundary lines follow Assessor property lines as
closely as possible. In addition, where General Plan boundary lines split an individual
parcel into two or more sections, the boundary line shall be located as accurately as
possible based on mapping done at the time of project approval.
In addition, the Boundary Definition Between Land Use Classifications section states:
It is the intent of the Land Use Map to show the general outlines of various land use
classifications. The boundaries are not intended to be precise legal boundaries.
When uncertainty does exist as to the precise boundary lines of various land uses
identified on the map, such lines shall be interpreted in the following manner:
a. Where boundaries appear to follow the centerline of a street or highway, boundaries
shall be construed to follow such lines;
b. Where boundaries appear to follow ownership boundary lines, boundaries shall be
construed to follow such lines;
c. Where boundaries appear to follow topographic features such as valleys or ridgelines,
boundaries shall be construed to follow such features; and
d. Where boundaries appear to reflect environmental and resource management consid-
erations, boundaries shall be construed in a manner which is consistent with the
considerations that the boundary reflects.
If the application of the above guidelines does not resolve the uncertainty or if the
Planning Director or the affected property owner considers the result to be
inappropriate, the matter may be referred to the Planning Commission for decision.
The Planning Commission shall resolve the uncertainty in accord with all of the
provisions of applicable specific and general plans. The decision of the Planning
Commission may be appealed to the City Council in accord with the usual procedures.
The process began by taking the existing General Plan Land Use boundary map and overlaying
it with a proposed General Plan Land Use boundary map and parcel layer. The "proposed
map" was a previously created effort that appeared to adjust boundary lines that were clearly
intended to follow features such as parcel lines, roads, topographic features, etc. However,
this map was never verified as being accurate.
•
The newly created map of the city was divided into 23 smaller sections to make it easier to
view the boundaries and parcels on a larger scale.
During review, it was found that much of the previously created "proposed map" was accurate
and acceptable. Again, this was because it was agreed that boundary lines were intended to
follow certain features such as parcel lines, topography, open space, etc. There were however
some areas on the "proposed map" that were found to be wrong, inaccurate, or an
adjustment that could not be made administratively. All administrative changes have been
approved by the Planning Director in accordance with the General Plan sections listed above.
The areas that could not be modified administratively have been documented and further
review and possibly a General Plan Amendment will be completed in the near future.
Although not feasible to show every change made, a copy of the "before" and "current"
General Plan Land Use Maps is included in the Special Study, SS 10-01 file.
POSSIBLE FUTURE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
Panell
1. Notations 2, 3 and 4. The area along Jefferson Street, just east of 1-5 needs to be evaluated for a
potential GPA in order to correctly identify the proper boundaries given the existing development.
The current boundaries go through existing homes and are not accurate.
Panel4
2. Notation 3. Boundary along the east side of Jefferson Street between Buena Vista Way and
Knowles. The area needs to be evaluated for possible GPA. Some administrative changes were
done. However, a look at what the existing development is may dictate a GPA to or from RLM or
RMH.
PanelS
3. Not circled on panel. Area between Pine and Oak just east of 1-5. GPA 04-05 was opened but never
processed. Need to evaluate for future GPA.
4. Not circled on panel. Corner of Chinquapin and Adams (APN 206-120-40). GPA 04-06 was opened
but never processed. Lot line adjustment done previously, however, no GPA, ZC or LCPA was ever
processed.
PanelS
5. Notation 2. Boundary on the north shore of Agua Hedionda just east of Carlsbad Bl. Possible GPA to
delineate OS/RH boundary possibly at the top of the slope.
Panel9
6. Notation 16. Boundary on the south shore of Agua Hedionda just north the strawberry fields. GPA
later to reflect existing OS easement on SDGE property.
PanellO
7. Notation 2. Evans Point area. GPA to accurately delineate OS I RLM development.
Panel12
8. Parcel on west side of Hidden Valley and north of park is in HMP but not OS. GPA at a later date.
Panel13
9. Notation 1. RLM/RM boundary north of Bay Collection/Poinsettia. Need further study to evaluate if
a GPA should be done. Currently developed with single-family homes and no obvious delineation.
10. Notation 4. Palomar Oaks Way area. Further study to outline OS boundary. Properties may be sold
in the future for OS because of development constraints. Also look at OS boundaries to the east.
Some zone changes were done with GPA 05-12/ZC 05-11 but does not appear a GPA was done.
Panel14
11. Not circled on panel. However, OS area SW of Alga Rd and Xana Way may need to be changed.
Currently a portion is hardline OS but designated RLM. GPA 05-12 changes small portions to OS
from RLM but not the larger parcels for unknown reason. See page 49 of GPA 05-12.
