a part of one single amendment to the Land Use Element of the
General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Carlsbad, California as follows:
A. That the above recitations are true and correct.
B. That the findings of the Planning Commission as set
forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2518 (GPA/LU 85-13),
Resolution No. 2525 (GPA/LU 85-7), and Resolution No. 2535
(GPA/LU 86-1 ) constitute the findings of the City Council.
C. That in addition, the City Council makes the
following findings:
"1. Since January 1985, the City of Carlsbad has been undertaking a comprehensive review of the Land Use Element of its General Plan. As part of that review a Council appointed Citizens Committee prepared a comprehensive report and
recommendation to the City Council. That report was subject to public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council.
Included in the recommendations of the Land Use Committee, were recommendations concerning development on open space and slope areas.
2. On August 6, 1985, the City Council adopted
Interim Ordinance No. 9766, imposing certain temporary land use controls on property within the City, consistent with the recommendation of the Citizens Committee which reviewed the Land Use Element. On September 3, 1985, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 9771 which extended the restrictions of
Ordinance No. 9766 until July 20, 1986. On December 10, 1985,
the City Council approved in concept several land use proposals
not contained in the Citizens Committee report. The Council finds that it is necessary to amend the Land Use Element of the
General Plan and appropriate sections of Title 21 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code to implement the Open Space policies previously approved by the Council.
3. This action of the City Council is consistent
with long standing policies and objectives of the City to protect
significant open space areas within Carlsbad, to enhance the
environment of the City by protecting those significant open
space areas and to improve the quality of life within the City bp
ensuring that a sufficient balance between open space and
developed areas continues to exist within the City. This action will protect the public health, safety and welfare of the

citizens of Carlsbad by preserving significant environmental features and by preserving natural and man made open space buffers between and within urbanized areas of the City. Further, protection of open space areas will ensure both passive and active recreational opportunities for the citizens of Carlsbad.
This action will also protect the rights of property owners by cleraly delineating those properties which are not developable, allowing the property owner a better opportunity to assess the development potential of their property. This action
will also result in more accurate density calculations since nondevelopable open space areas may not be included in density calculations.
4. This action is consistent with the City's policy to provide housing opportunities for all economic sectors of the community, because sufficient opportunities for new housing continue to exist within the City even though the absolute number
of housing units which may ultimately be constructed will be reduced. Reduction of residential densities and protection of open space will ensure the quality of life and the environment within the City of Carlsbad. In addition, development of housing for low and moderate income persons and families would most likely occur in areas of the City already designated for higher density residential development. These areas will be affected by this action only to a limited extent."
D. That the Land Use Element of the General Plan be
amended as follows:
1. GPA/LU 85-7 LA CORUNA PLACE: To change the Land
Use Element from RMH to RM for approximately 1.58 acres of
property generally located on the south side of La Costa Avenue,

Element from RMH to RM on approximately 64 acres of property

13 attached hereto and made a part hereof.
3. GPA/LU 86-1 CITY OF CARLSBAD: To change the Land

than 40%
No residential development shall occur on the
lands listed above, however, the City Council may permit limited development of such property if when considering the property as a whole the prohibition against development would constitute an unconstitutional deprivation of property. Limited development of accessory or nonresidential uses may be permitted.
Development on slopes with an inclination of 25% to 40% inclusive shall be designed to minimize the grading and
slope development provisions of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program shall apply. ‘I
