Work Plan Annual Report and RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Work Plan
Existing Conditions & Project Description
In 2018 the City Council created uniform policies and procedures related to boards and commissions, requiring
each board or commission to provide the City Council with its approval an annual work plan of activities to be
undertaken in the coming year and to provide a subsequent report of its accomplishments. Carlsbad Municipal
Code, Chapter 2.15, includes the requirements for content and timing. It is typical that this item is completed
before the start of the fiscal year, on July 1 of each year.
The responsibilities and corresponding work of the Planning Commission are well defined in state law and
Titles 19 (Environment), 20 (Subdivisions), and 21 (Zoning) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. As such, many
of the items on the workplan are projects undertaken to comply with state laws, City Council direction, or
those submitted by private applicants or city departments. Some items in the work plan are multi-year
efforts that will carry over into future years. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Report was presented to the City Council
on June 10, 2025 (Staff Report is included as Exhibit 2, Minutes are included as Exhibit 3).

PLANNING COMMISSION
Staff Report .
0
As reflected in the annual report, the Planning Commission is expected to have met 15 times during the current
fiscal year and has acted on multiple significant public and private development projects, including
recommending approval of or approving:
•Avenida Encinias Coastal Rail Trail;
•El Camino Real Widening (Arenal to La Costa);
•Drainage Master Plan;
•Recommendations on Rincon Roosevelt; and,
•Held three informational training sessions with staff.
A number of larger multi-year projects are anticipated to be completed in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and are
included in the work program
Environmental Review
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a “project” within the meaning
of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has
no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment.
Conclusion
The Planning Division, Community Development, recommends the Planning Commission adopt the resolution
and the information contained within. The Planning Commission could recommend inclusion of other tasks for
completion during the next fiscal year for evaluation for inclusion in future work programs.
