(a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that a dispute exists as to the proper location of the inland boundary of the coastal zone in the area commonly known as Aliso Viejo and that, after extensive review of the history of this boundary segment, the criteria utilized to establish the boundary in 1976, and the relevant topographical information, it is possible to reach differing conclusions of equal validity regarding the proper location of the coastal zone boundary. The Legislature further finds that it is not possible to determine objectively which ridgeline feature in the Aliso Viejo area most closely approximates the boundary criteria utilized by the Legislature in 1976, and that it is in the best public interest to resolve the current boundary dispute in order to avoid further delay in the completion of the local coastal program for Orange County. The Legislature further finds that a timely resolution of this boundary dispute can best be accomplished by adjusting the coastal zone boundary in the manner set forth in this section and within the general framework of Section 30103 and consistent with the need to protect the coastal resources of the Aliso Viejo area and to carry out the requirements of Section 30213. (b) In the Aliso Creek area of Orange County approximately 286 acres are added and approximately 1,020 acres are excluded as specifically shown on maps 28A and 28B dated April 15, 1980, and filed on April 22, 1980, with the office of the Secretary of State and which are on file in the office of the commission. The maps are hereby adopted by reference. The changes made in the inland boundary of the coastal zone by this section are in addition to any changes made by any map referred to in Section 30150, except to the extent that the changes made by this section affect a segment of the boundary previously changed by the map, in which case the changes made by this section shall supersede any of those previous changes. (c) The executive director of the commission may adjust the precise location of the inland boundary of the coastal zone not more than 100 yards in either a seaward or landward direction in order to conform the precise boundary location to the specific limits of development adjacent to the coastal zone boundary as shown on maps 28A and 28B. However, in any subdivided area, the executive director may adjust the precise location of the inland boundary of the coastal zone not more than 100 feet in a landward direction in order to include any development of the first row of lots immediately adjacent to the boundary as shown on those maps, where the executive director determines that the adjustment is necessary to ensure that adequate controls will be applied to the development in order to minimize any potential adverse effects on the coastal zone resources. The executive director shall prepare a detailed map showing any of the changes and shall file a copy of the map with the county clerk. (d) Prior to the adoption and approval of a drainage control plan by the County of Orange for the Aliso Viejo Planned Community (as designated by Amendment No. L. U. 79-1 to the Land Use Element of the Orange County General Plan), the county shall consult with the executive director of the commission to ensure that any drainage control facilities located outside the coastal zone are adequate to provide for no increase in peak runoff, by virtue of the development of the Aliso Viejo Planned Community, which would result in adverse impacts on coastal zone resources. (e) On or before January 31, 1981, the commission shall, after public hearing and in consultation with the County of Orange, certify or reject a local coastal program segment prepared and submitted by the county on or before August 1, 1980, for the following parcel in the Aliso Creek area: land owned by the Aliso Viejo Company, a California corporation, as of April 22, 1980, within the coastal zone as amended by this section. The local coastal program required by this subdivision shall, for all purposes of this division, constitute a certified local coastal program segment for that parcel in the County of Orange. The segment of the county's local coastal program for the parcel may be amended pursuant to this division relating to the amendment of local coastal programs. If the commission neither certifies nor rejects the submitted local coastal program within the time limit specified in this subdivision, the land added to the coastal zone by this section shall no longer be subject to this division. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this subdivision, that a procedure to expedite the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program for that land be established so that the public and the affected property owner know as soon as possible what uses are permissible. (f) The commission, through its executive director, shall enter into a binding and enforceable agreement with Aliso Viejo Company, and the agreement shall be recorded as a covenant to run with the land with no prior liens other than tax and assessment liens restricting the Aliso Viejo Planned Community. The agreement shall provide for all of the following: (1) The Aliso Viejo Company shall provide at least 1,000 units of for-sale housing to moderate-income persons at prices affordable to a range of households earning from 81 to 120 percent of the median income for Orange County as adjusted for family size pursuant to the commission's housing guidelines on affordable housing dated January 22, 1980, and July 16, 1979, and any additional provisions as agreed to between the commission and the Aliso Viejo Company as referred to in this subdivision. For purposes of this subdivision, median income constitutes the figure most recently established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development at the time the public report for the units, or any portion thereof, is issued by the Department of Real Estate. The affordable units required by this subdivision shall be priced equally over the moderate-income range and shall reflect a reasonable mix as to size and number of bedrooms. (2) The 1,000 units provided pursuant to this subdivision shall be sold subject to controls on resale substantially as provided in the commission's housing guidelines on affordable housing, dated January 22, 1980, and July 16, 1979, and any additional provisions as agreed to between the commission and the Aliso Viejo Company as referred to in this subdivision. On or before entering the agreement provided for herein, the Aliso Viejo Company shall enter into an agreement, approved by the executive director of the commission, with the Orange County Housing Authority or any other appropriate housing agency acceptable to the executive director of the commission to provide for the administration of the resale controls including the qualification of purchasers. (3) The 1,000 units provided pursuant to this subdivision may be dispersed throughout the Aliso Viejo Planned Community, and shall be completed and offered for sale prior to, or simultaneously with, other units in the overall project, so that at any time at least 7 1/2 percent of the units constructed shall be resale-controlled until the 1,000 units are completed. (4) The Department of Housing and Community Development and the County of Orange shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreement provided in this subdivision and shall have the power to enforce any and all provisions of the agreement. (5) This agreement may only be amended upon the determination of the Aliso Viejo Company or its successors or assigns, the commission, the Department of Housing and Community Development, and the County of Orange that the change is necessary in order to prevent adverse effects on the supply of low- and moderate-income housing opportunities and to improve the methods of providing the housing at continually affordable prices. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that, because the Aliso Viejo Company, in addition to the 1,000 units of controlled housing provided in this subdivision, will provide for 2,000 units of subsidized affordable housing for low income persons and 2,000 affordable housing units for moderate income persons pursuant to the company's housing program, the purposes of Section 30213 will be met by enactment of this subdivision. The Legislature further finds and declares that the general provisions of this subdivision are specifically described and set forth in letters by Aliso Viejo Company and the executive director of the commission published in the Journals of the Senate and the Assembly of the 1979-80 Regular Session, and it is the intent of the Legislature that the commission and Aliso Viejo Company conform the agreement provided in this subdivision to the specific provisions described in the letters. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the application of this division by the commission to the development or use of any infrastructure necessary and appropriate to serve development within the portions of the Aliso Viejo Planned Community located inland of the coastal zone as amended by this section, shall be strictly limited to addressing direct impacts on coastal zone resources and shall be carried out in a manner that assures that the infrastructure will be provided. Furthermore, the commission shall amend without conditions its prior permit No. A-61-76 to provide for its release of sewer outfall flow limitations necessary and appropriate to serve the Aliso Viejo Planned Community located inland of the coastal zone as amended by this subdivision. For purposes of this subdivision, "infrastructure" means those facilities and improvements necessary and appropriate to develop, construct, and serve urban communities, including but not limited to, streets, roads, and highways; transportation systems and facilities; schools; parks; water and sewage systems and facilities; electric, gas, and communications systems and facilities; and drainage and flood control systems and facilities. Notwithstanding this subdivision, the commission may limit, or reasonably condition, the use of the transit corridor in Aliso Creek Valley to transit uses, uses approved by the commission that will serve the Aliso Greenbelt Project prepared by the State Coastal Conservancy, the provision of access to and from the sewage treatment works in Aliso Creek Valley, emergency uses, and drainage and flood control systems and facilities and other services approved pursuant to this subdivision. (h) This section shall become operative only when the commission and Aliso Viejo Company have entered into the binding and enforceable agreement provided for in this section, and the agreement has been duly recorded with the county recorder of Orange County. 30170.

The plan shall assure that no detrimental increase occurs in runoff of water from the parcel to be developed and shall require that the facilities necessary to implement the plan are installed as part of the development. (d) In the City of Carlsbad and adjacent unincorporated areas, approximately 600 acres consisting of the Palomar Airport and an adjoining industrial park are excluded as specifically shown on maps 31 and 32. (e) An area consisting of approximately 333 acres lying west and south of the Palomar Airport and bounded on the south by Palomar Airport Road is excluded as specifically shown on maps 31 and 32. No development may occur in the area described in this subdivision until a plan for drainage of the parcel to be developed has been approved by the local government having jurisdiction over the area after consultation with the commission and the Department of Fish and Game. The plan shall assure that no detrimental increase occurs in runoff of water from the parcel to be developed and shall require that the facilities necessary to implement the plan are installed as part of the development. (f) On or before October 1, 1980, the commission shall, after public hearing and in consultation with the City of Carlsbad, prepare, approve, and adopt a local coastal program for the following parcels in the vicinity of Batiquitos Lagoon within the City of Carlsbad: lands owned by Rancho La Costa, a registered limited partnership, lands (consisting of approximately 80 acres) owned by Standard Pacific of San Diego, Inc., that were conveyed by Rancho La Costa on October 8, 1977, and lands owned by the Occidental Petroleum Company. Those parcels shall be determined by ownership as of September 12, 1979. As used in this subdivision, "parcels" means the parcels identified in this paragraph. The local coastal program required by this subdivision shall include all of the following elements: (1) Protection of agricultural lands and uses to the extent feasible. (2) Minimization of adverse impacts from sedimentation. (3) Protection of feasible public recreational opportunities. (4) Provision for economically feasible development consistent with the three elements specified in this subdivision. The local coastal program required by this subdivision shall, after adoption by the commission, be deemed certified and shall for all purposes of this division constitute certified local coastal program segments for those parcels in the City of Carlsbad. The segments of the city's local coastal program for those parcels may be amended pursuant to the provisions of this division relating to the amendment of local coastal programs. In addition, until (i) the City of Carlsbad adopts or enacts the implementing actions contained in the local coastal program, or (ii) other statutory provisions provide alternately for the adoption, certification, and implementation of a local coastal program for those parcels, the local coastal program required by this subdivision may also be amended by the commission at the request of the owner of any of those parcels. For administrative purposes, the commission may group these requests in order to schedule them for consideration at a single commission hearing. However, the commission shall schedule these requests for consideration at least once during each four-month period, beginning January 1, 1982. After either of these events occur, however, these property owners shall no longer be eligible to request the commission to amend the local coastal program. If the commission fails to adopt a local coastal program within the time limits specified in this subdivision, those parcels shall be excluded from the coastal zone and shall no longer be subject to this division. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this subdivision that a procedure to expedite the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program for those parcels be established so that the public and affected property owners know as soon as possible what the permissible uses of those lands are. (g) In the vicinity of the intersection of Del Mar Heights Road and the San Diego Freeway, approximately 250 acres are excluded as specifically shown on map 33. (h) In the vicinity of the intersection of Carmel Valley Road and the San Diego Freeway, approximately 45 acres are added as specifically shown on map 33. In the City of San Diego, the Carmel Valley area consisting of approximately 1,400 acres as shown on map 33 that has been placed on file with the Secretary of State on January 23, 1980, shall be excluded from the coastal zone after the City of San Diego submits, and the commission certifies, a drainage plan and a transportation plan for the area. The city shall implement and enforce the certified drainage and transportation plans. Any amendments or changes to the underlying land use plan for the area that affects drainage, or to either the certified drainage or transportation plan, shall be reviewed and processed in the same manner as an amendment of a certified local coastal program pursuant to Section 30514. Any land use not in conformance with the certified drainage and transportation plans may be appealed to the commission pursuant to the appeals procedure as provided by Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 30600). The drainage plan and any amendments thereto shall be prepared after consultation with the Department of Fish and Game and shall ensure that problems resulting from water runoff, sedimentation, and siltation are adequately identified and resolved. (i) Near the head of the south branch of Los Penasquitos Canyon, the boundary is moved seaward to the five-mile limit as described in Section 30103 and as specifically shown on map 33.

No coastal development permit shall be required for any improvement, maintenance activity, relocation, or reasonable expansion of any commercial radio or television transmission facilities within the area specified in this subdivision unless the proposed activity could result in a significant change in the density or intensity of use in the area or could have a significant adverse impact on highly scenic resources of public importance. However, no prior review by the commission of this activity shall be required. (k) In the City of San Diego, approximately 30 acres known as the Famosa Slough is added as specifically shown on maps 34 and 35. 30170.6. Notwithstanding Section 17 of Chapter 1330 of the Statutes of 1976, as amended by Section 29 of Chapter 1331 of the Statutes of 1976, any map dated September 12, 1979, and filed on September 14, 1979, with the office of the Secretary of State, or any provision of Section 30170, the inland boundary of the coastal zone in a portion of San Diego County, of approximately 95 acres in Penasquitos Canyon, is hereby amended as indicated by revised map number 33, dated March 21, 1980, and filed on March 21, 1980, with the office of the Secretary of State; provided, that the City of San Diego first submits and the commission approves a drainage plan for the area providing for drainage in connection with the extension of Mira Mesa Boulevard to Interstate Highway 805 sufficient to assure that no detrimental increase in runoff of water into Carroll Canyon occurs as a result of construction of Mira Mesa Boulevard. 30171. (a) On or before October 1, 1980, the commission shall submit to the City of Carlsbad an initial draft of the land use portion of the local coastal program for the area specifically delineated on maps 154 and 155 which have been placed on file with the Secretary of State on April 22, 1980. (b) On or before July 1, 1981, the commission shall, after public hearing and consultation with the City of Carlsbad, adopt a local coastal program for that area within the City of Carlsbad which is specifically delineated on maps 154 and 155 which have been placed on file with the Secretary of State on April 22, 1980. The local coastal program for such area shall, after adoption by the commission, be deemed certified, and shall, for all purposes of this division, constitute the certified local coastal program for such area. The local coastal program for such area may be amended pursuant to the provisions of this division relating to the amendment of local coastal programs. In addition, until such time as (i) the City of Carlsbad adopts or enacts the implementing actions contained in any such local coastal program, or (ii) other statutory provisions provide alternately for the adoption, certification, and implementation of a local coastal program for that area, the local coastal program required by this subdivision may also be amended by the commission at the request of any owner of property located within the area. For administrative purposes, the commission may group these requests in order to schedule them for consideration at a single commission hearing; provided, however, that the commission shall schedule these requests for consideration at least once during each four-month period, beginning January 1, 1982. After either of these events occur, however, these property owners shall no longer be eligible to request the commission to amend the local coastal program. (c) If the commission fails to adopt such local coastal program within the time limits specified in this subdivision, such area shall be excluded from the coastal zone and shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this division. It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this section, that a procedure to expedite the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program in this specified area be established so that the public and affected property owners know as soon as possible what the permissible uses of such lands are. (d) This section is not intended and shall not be construed as authorizing any modification, extension, or alteration in any deadline or other provisions of any contract between the commission or any regional coastal commission and any person, business, or corporation with respect to planning services for the area delineated on maps 154 and 155. 30171.2. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), on and after January 1, 1985, no agricultural conversion fees may be levied or collected under the agricultural subsidy program provided in the local coastal program of the City of Carlsbad that was adopted and certified pursuant to Section 30171. All other provisions of that program shall continue to be operative, including the right to develop designated areas as provided in the program. (b) This section shall not affect any right or obligation under any agreement or contract entered into prior to January 1, 1985, pursuant to that agricultural subsidy program, including the payment of any fees and the right of development in accordance with the provisions of the agreement or contract. As to these properties, the agricultural subsidy fees in existence as of December 31, 1984, shall be paid and allocated within the City of Carlsbad, or on projects outside the city that benefit agricultural programs within the city, in accordance with the provisions of the agricultural subsidy program as it existed on September 30, 1984. (c) Any agricultural conversion fees collected pursuant to the agricultural subsidy program and not deposited in the agricultural improvement fund in accordance with the local coastal program or that have not been expended in the form of agricultural subsidies assigned to landowners by the local coastal program land use policy plan on January 1, 1985, shall be used by the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board to reimburse the party that paid the fees if no agreements or contracts have been entered into or to the original parties to the agreements or contracts referred to in subdivision (b) in proportion to the amount of fees paid by the parties. However, if the property subject to the fee was under option at the time that the original agreement or contract was entered into and the optionee was a party to the agricultural subsidy agreement, payments allocable to that property shall be paid to the optionee in the event the optionee has exercised the option. Reimbursements under this section shall be paid within 90 days after January 1, 1985, or payment of the fee, whichever occurs later, and only after waiver by the party being reimbursed of any potential legal rights resulting from enactment of this section. (d) (1) Any person entitled to reimbursement of fees under subdivision (c) shall file a claim with the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, which shall determine the validity of the claim and pay that person a pro rata share based on the relative amounts of fees paid under the local coastal program or any agreement or contract entered pursuant thereto. (2) There is hereby appropriated to the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board the fees referred to in subdivision (c), for the purpose of making refunds under this section. (e) Notwithstanding any geographical limitation contained in this division, funds deposited pursuant to subdivision (b) may be expended for physical or institutional development improvements needed to facilitate long-term agricultural production within the City of Carlsbad. These funds may be used to construct improvements outside the coastal zone boundaries in San Diego County if the improvements are not inconsistent with the Carlsbad local coastal program and the State Coastal Conservancy determines that the improvements will benefit agricultural production within the coastal zone of the City of Carlsbad. 30171.5. (a) The amount of the mitigation fee for development on nonprime agricultural lands in the coastal zone in the City of Carlsbad that lie outside of the areas described in subdivision (f) of Section 30170 and subdivision (b) of Section 30171 shall be determined in the applicable segment of the local coastal program of the City of Carlsbad, but shall not be less than five thousand dollars ($5,000), nor more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), per acre. All mitigation fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the State Coastal Conservancy Fund. (b) All mitigation fees collected pursuant to this section are hereby appropriated to, and shall be expended by, the State Coastal Conservancy in the following order of priority: (1) Restoration of natural resources and wildlife habitat in Batiquitos Lagoon. (2) Development of an interpretive center at Buena Vista Lagoon. (3) Provision of access to public beaches in the City of Carlsbad. (4) Any other project or activity benefiting or enhancing the use of natural resources, including open field cultivated floriculture, in the coastal zone in the City of Carlsbad that is provided for in the local coastal program of the City of Carlsbad. (c) The State Coastal Conservancy may establish a special account in the State Coastal Conservancy Fund and deposit mitigation fees collected pursuant to this section in the special account. Any interest accruing on that money in the special account shall be expended pursuant to subdivision (b). (d) Not less than 50 percent of collected and bonded mitigation fees shall be expended for the purpose specified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b). (e) Other than to mitigate the agricultural conversion impacts for which they are collected, none of the mitigation fees collected pursuant to this section shall be used for elements of a project which cause that project to be in compliance with this division or to mitigate a project which would otherwise be inconsistent with this division. When reviewing a potential project for consistency with this subdivision, the State Coastal Conservancy shall consult with the commission. 30172. In the San Diego County, an area consisting of approximately 180 acres lying west and south of Palomar Airport as shown on Map 155, which has been placed on file with the Secretary of State on April 22, 1980, shall be excluded from the coastal zone after the City Engineer of the City of Carlsbad approves and the commission certifies a drainage plan for the area, pursuant to the commission's interim permit authority, which plan the city shall implement and enforce. 30174. Notwithstanding the maps adopted pursuant to Section 17 of Chapter 1330 of the Statutes of 1976, as amended by Section 29 of Chapter 1331 of the Statutes of 1976, the inland boundary of the coastal zone, as shown on detailed coastal map 157 adopted by the commission on March 1, 1977, shall be amended to conform to the inland boundary shown on map A which is hereby adopted by reference and which shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State and the commission on the date of enactment of this section.
