SUBJECT: LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT 11-o7-LAND USE DECISION MAKING
Dear Ms. Lee:
The City of Carlsbad is requesting that sections relative to Chapter 21.110 (Floodplain Management
Regulations) be withdrawn from the California Coastal Commission's processing of Local Coastal
Program (LCP) Amendment 11-07-Land Use Decision Making. The City of Carlsbad also requests the
continued processing of all other portions of the Local Coastal Program Amendment such that it may
continue on schedule for the June 12, 2013 Coastal Commission meeting. The City of Carlsbad will
resubmit those portions of the LCP Amendment pertaining to Chapter 21.110 after city staff is able to
adequately consider and address Coastal Commission staff's suggested modifications related to sea-
level rise, as indicated in the email from Kanani Brown dated May 30, 2013.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the foregoing. I look forward to continuing to
work with you on this LCP amendment, as well as other amendments that the City of Carlsbad is
processing with California Coastal Commission.

Dear Commissioners:

CITY OF CARLSBAD
PLANNING DIVISION
Your effort in reviewing the complex, detailed report for the above mentioned ZCA/LCPA i-s
appreciated. Even though there are probably going to be very few people attending tonight's
hearing, your approval of the proposed changes cumulate a lot of effort by staff and members
of the development community. I was a member of the Development Review Process (DRP)
Working Group and participated in all of the meetings and workshops with staff. As explained
in the staff report, the proposed changes will eliminate ambiguity and unnecessary steps in the
process while decreasing costs and processing times. All of these improvements are very
important to the development community.
You will also note as you review the staff report and numerous attachments_, none of these
changes compromise or reduce any of the City's existing development standards or design
guidelines. This was not the purpose when the DRP was established to work with staff. The
changes being addressed by this ZCA/LCPA merely provide clarification and reduce processing
times. The proposed changes are procedural in nature and do not address quality of
development. However, they will prove beneficial to the development community and will
help to encourage the processing of development proposals in Carlsbad.
Your support of staffs recommendation of approval will be greatly appreciated by the
remaining members of the development community. AU the members of the DRP appreciated
the opportunity to work with the City to jointly propose the recommended changes.

processes.
The primary objectives of the amendment are to implement initiatives identified by the city's
Development Review Process (DRP) Working Group to improve the city's development review process.
The DRP Working Group was convened by the City of Carlsbad in 2009 and included eleven citizens
representing the development community (planners, engineers, architects, builders, BIA, and the
Chamber of Commerce).
The proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments implement the following DRP initiatives:
• Initiative 1: Increase consistency of the permit processes and enhance entitlement protection
by processing all permit approvals and extensions in the same manner.
• Initiative 4: Streamline the permit approval process by reassigning approval authority to the
lowest appropriate decision-making authority.
• Initiative 4: Increase consistency by ensuring that all permits required for a project are acted
upon by a single decision-making authority.
The proposed amendment documents are available for your review on the City's website at
www.carlsbadca.gov/planning (look under "Related Topics" for a link to "Land Use Decision Making
Amendments"). The documents on the website include the following:
• A summary of proposed changes to the level of decision-making authority.
• A summary of proposed changes to ensure permit process consistency.
• A draft of the Zoning Ordinance text amendments in strikethrough/underline format.
Should you wish to comment on the proposed amendments, please submit your comments in writing no
later than 5 p.m., September 16, 2011. Written comments should be sent to:
