Executive Summary
The City Council is being asked to review and approve the Fiscal Year 2025-26 report of
accomplishments and the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 work plans for the Planning
Commission and Historic Preservation Commission, which are required by Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 2.15.020(C).
Several tasks in the previous work plans are either in process, recurring, or ongoing. The
commissions have therefore carried forward those tasks as part of the proposed fiscal year
2026-27 work plans.
The purpose of a board or commission work plan is to encourage increased dialogue between
boards and commissions and the City Council. They are also intended to ensure that boards and
commissions are working in line with the priorities of the City Council.
Explanation & Analysis
Planning Commission

City Council on city planning issues and policies. The City Council approved the commission’s
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Work Plan on June 10, 2025. The commission’s report of accomplishments
outlines the status of the work plan’s goals and tasks (Exhibit 1, Attachment A).
At the Planning Commission’s April 15, 2026, meeting, staff assisted commission members with
the preparation of an updated work plan that is consistent with the duties described in the

Carlsbad Municipal Code chapter that governs the commission, Chapter 2.24. The Planning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend the City Council accept work plan annual report
and approve the updated work plan (Exhibit 1, Attachment B).
Historic Preservation Commission
The Historic Preservation Commission advises the City Council and Planning Commission on the
identification, protection, retention and preservation of historic areas and sites within the city.
The City Council approved the commission’s fiscal year 2025-26 work plan on June 10, 2025.
The commission’s report of accomplishments outlines the status of the work plan’s goals and
tasks (Exhibit 2, Attachment A).
At the Historic Preservation Commission’s March 9, 2026, meeting, staff assisted commission
members with the preparation of an updated work plan that is consistent with the duties
described in the Carlsbad Municipal Code chapter that governs the commission, Chapter 2.42.
The Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to accept the updated work plan and
recommended that the City Council approve the plan (Exhibit 2, Attachment B).
Fiscal Analysis
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with accepting, approving, or implementing the work
plans.
Next Steps
The Planning Commission, the Historic Preservation Commission and staff will focus future
efforts on the activities listed in the approved work plans.
Environmental Evaluation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project
within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, 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.

City of Carlsbad
Planning Commission Work Plan
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
I. Mission Statement
The Planning Commission holds regularly scheduled public hearings to consider land use
matters, such as the general plan, local coastal program, growth management program, specific
plans, master plans, amendments to the zoning ordinance, zone changes, special studies, and
discretionary development permits for public and private projects.
For some actions, the Planning Commission acts in an advisory role and provides a
recommendation to the City Council. In many cases the City Council has delegated to the
Planning Commission the authority to take a final action on the item subject to appeal to the
City Council. Prior to an item being considered by the Planning Commission the Planning
Division staff complete its review of a proposed project for compliance with all applicable plans,
policies, and laws and provides a written recommendation.
Planning Commissioners also serve on special committees or task forces as requested by the
City Council.
II. Composition
The Planning Commission consists of seven members appointed by the City Council to a four-
year term. There are also three ex officio members who shall be the City Planner, Assistant City
Attorney, and City Engineer.
