CITY OF CARLSBAD Proposition D (This proposition will appear on the ballot In the following form.) nnAn n ADVISORYVOTEONLY MUfjl' M Shall the City of Carlsbad consider approving a Lego I IWI *^ Family Park within the Carlsbad Ranch Project located east of Interstate 5, north of Palomar Airport Road, and south of Cannon Road, provided that the project shall fully comply with the City's Growth Management Plan, and all land use processing and environmental review requirements? CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS THE WAY IT IS NOVV: Existing law requires numerous approvals for the eventual development of the Lego Family Park. It Is anticipated at a minimum this proposal would require a general plan and local coastal plan amendment, specific plan amendment, rezoning, tentative map, hillside development permit, local facilities management plan amendments, cancellation of an agricultural preserve contract and an environmental impact report. These permits would require public hearings. A coastal development permit would also be required from the California Coastal Commission. The proposed site is currently designated and zoned for Commercial, Office and Industrial and Open Space agricultural uses. There presently is an approved development project on the site entitled "The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan" approved March 16, 1993, and on file in the City Clerk's office and Planning Department. No development may be approved on this site unless it has all the necessary public facilities available or guaranteed to be available prior to construction under the City's Growth Management Plan and by Proposition E which was approved by the voters in 1986. These plans do not permit development at this site unless the necessary public facilities are provided concurrent with their need with an emphasis on ensuring good traffic circulation, schools, parks, libraries, open space and recreational amenities. THE PROPOSAL: Although a formal application has not been submitted to the City at this time, it is anticipated that an amendment to the existing Specific Plan will be submitted to include a •^•^ family-oriented theme park consisting of exhibits and attractions made primarily from interlocking plastic blocks, entertainment and dining, retail uses, rides catering to children of ages 2 through 13, and educational workshop areas on approximately 125 acres in the general location as shown on the location map. This measure is an advisory measure as authorized by the California Elections Code for the purpose of allowing voters within the City to voice their opinion on substantive issues or to indicate to the City Council its approval or disapproval of allowing this proposal to be considered. A "YES" VOTE MEANS: If you vote yes, you wish to indicate to the City Council that it should consider this proposal further and to eventually act on all the required permits for it. It does not approve the proposal. A "NO" VOTE MEANS: If you vote no, you do not wish the City Council to consider the proposal further. HOW PROPOSITION "D" GOT ON THE BALLOT On February 1, 1994, the City Council decided to place this matter on the ballot for June 7, 1994 In order to allow the voters within the City to voice their opinion on the proposal. FISCAL IMPACT: Should the proposed measure be approved, it would not in and of itself affect the cost of government. However, as a product of the eventual approval of this proposal, certain revenues of the City may be increased In an indeterminate but possibly substantial amount.

It will add over $600,000 each year in city revenues. LANDSCAPING, EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR CHILDREN 2-TO-13 YEARS OLD AND THEIR FAMILIES • Located on a 125-acre parcel east of 1-5 between Palomar Airport and Cannon Roads, over two- thirds of the Park will be landscaped open space; the remainder ttands-on education and fun entertainment faciiities for young children and their families. • There will be no ttwill rides, cheap hotels, strip malls or other inappropriate development. PARK MUST COMPLY WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS • The City Council, Planning Commission and Coastal Commission must still approve plans for the Park, prepare an Environmental Impact Report, and certify the Park confonns to Carlsbad's tough Growth Management Plan. • The project will be built in an area already designated in our General Plan for non-residential uses. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PROTECTED, FLOWER FIELDS PRESERVED • Among conditions agreed to by LEGO are a circulation plan which-funnels traffic directly on and off the freeway via Cannon Road - avoiding impact on our local streets. The Park will generate Jesa. traffic than alternative development. • Another condition of development ensures permanent presen/ation of adjacent flower fields. A FAMILY PARK FOR A FAMILY CITY • We've carefully reviewed plans for the LEGO Family Park. Many of us traveled to Denmark to observe first-hand the existing Park in Blllund. • We support the Park because it is consistent with our community's family values, its emphasis on education, and because it will contribute to a strong economy and healthy environment.

However, as co-sponsor of the Growth Management Plan I can tell you that at no time during its drafting in 1986 did we plan that the focal point of Carlsbad would one day be a theme park that would generate 2.0 million visitors in its first year of operation. You should be aware that even without Lego Theme Park Carlsbad's population will nearly double In size. Lego Theme Park should not be approved without a reevaluation of the Growth Management Plan and an examination as to whether our existing 135,000 population cap should be lowered to accoriQ^date this influx of visitors. To date, none of this has been done. Why risk our quality of life for a few extra tax dollars? If Disneyland coujdn't save Anaheim from the recession how will Lego Theme Park save us? Lego may be a nice theme park but that is not the questiorlCI^e reaf^estion is whether Lego can be assimilated into Carlsbad without^a^ging3ir quality ofOfeTTfiis would be a difficult task for any city. Can you name a theme pSriTcity the s&e of Carisbad where you would want to live?

What happens in the park is of little importance. You are voting on what a large Theme/amusement park will do to Carlsbad. LEGO will change Carisbad forever. This decision is about increasing the intensity of our development and changing our vision of Carlsbad's future. LEGO is an Amusement park, a "cornerstone project" with 2.0 million visitors projected initially, if we want LEGOjhfin-Vyt_shouW ^ want It to grow and be successful. The growth of Lego's visitor population i8<ootcontrolletf67o"'' zoning. General Plan or Growth Management Plan. The only limit on this population growth is LEGO'S desire for profit. As LEGO grows so goes Carisbad. Where goes our community's character? LEGO and its growth will bring changes, some immediate but many just one small step after another taking us farther away from the Carlsbad we know and cherish. Millions of new tourists bring with them their needs for city services and their problems: more traffic, more crime, more trash, more pollution, more crowds, and more need for water. The people of Orange County and L.A. long ago traded their quality of life for problems like these hoping for economic prosperity and tax ravenuea. Big money promises, at what cost to you? LEGO will guide our economy into one dominated and dependent on tourism. An amusement/ theme park environment wili not attract the other businesses we want and need for Carisbad's future and prosperity. In order to support LEGO, generate more jobs, and entice these tourists to contribute to Carlsbad, we must become an amusement tourist trap; catching and keeping the tourist dollar with more hotels, more motele, amusement centers and restaurants. Is this your vision of Carlsbad's future? Vote no. MICHELLE BECKER Member, Neighbors involved in Carlsbad's Future A. J.

THE FACTS ARE: LEGO will have SIGNIFICANTLY LESS VISITORS THAN THE ZOO OR SEA WORLD which have been around for decades.
