WHAT THE OPEN SPACE ADVISORY COMMl"EE IS SEEKING INPUT FROM
CITIZENS REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIOFUTIES FOR OPEN
SPACE ACQUISITION AND PRESERVATION.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Carlsbad has recently begun the preparation of a comprehensive Open Space
and Conservation Resource Management Plan. This plan will be the culmination of a two
year planning effort. The Resource Management Plan will primarily be an implementation
program that will integrate a comprehensive system of open space, trails and the concepts
of preserving habitat linkages and greenways.
The purpose of these planning efforts is to preserve: the health of the City's biological
diversity; the appeal of the City's "opentt character; and the opportunity to access, and link
the myriad open space resources in the City. Planning of these open space areas has been
carried on by Citizen groups, Committees, staff, and consultants.
The development of the Open Space and Conservation Resource Management plan is being
made possible through the efforts of the Open Space Advisory Committee. The Open Space
Advisory Committee was appointed by City Council in June 1990. Since that time, the
Committee has been meeting monthly, in a public forum, to address the Resource
Management Plan and other open space issues. To date the work of the committee has
been focused on the preliminary background work required for the preparation of the Plan.
The Committee is now ready to begin making recommendations on open space priorities
for the City as a whole, as well as for each of the City's twenty-five Local Facility
Management Zones. Before making any decisions, the Committee would like to hear the
thoughts of the residents of Carlsbad. At the Meeting of September 26, 1991, the
Committee will, with the assistance of staff and consultants, review the status of the Open
Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan. In addition, the Committee will
summarize it's current direction with respect to establishing open space priorities in the
