The first year of the program represents the problem analysis, and policy program formulation phase; the proposed second year, represents the action/implementation phase. This "follow- through" of the current '701' inner-city program is proposed to implement the policies and programs resulting from this first-year effort and to fulfill the needs and objectives articulated (Pg.18) in the adopted Reconnaissance Survey sub- mitted with the current '701 ' application. This referenced survey proposed a two-year work program (attached, Pg.20). The purpose of the proposed program: (1) to provide the requisite (based on first-year program) means for program administrating and coordination between the appropriate governmental agencies mentioned in the currently approved Circular A-95, and (2) to implement the adopted Housing Element, inclusive of proposed supplements, resulting from current planning program. B. Plan for Community Living Quality This proposed planning project will focus on the function of the community serving as habitat - a place to live and enjoy the amenities which enhance living. Through its implementation, the plan will provide the Carlsbad community with the capacity for livability. The plan will hopefully be an instrument of direction toward the installation of quality in Carlsbad's living environment. 2 In order to determine the direction Carlsbad should progress and evolve, the factors of livability, life style dynamics, and human values will be probed. From this inquiry, needs will be identified that will serve as determinants for the course of community direction and evolutionary change. The recognition of needs for community living will necessitate an understanding of: (1) livability in terms of community ecology, (2) life styles in terms of socio-cultural values, and (3) community values in terms of attitudes, perceptions, and attractions with respect to home, neighbor- hood, and the community environment. It is incumbent on the purpose of this project to delineate a requisite information base which will provide for an understanding and awareness of the community as a habitat. Subject areas must, first of all, be identified that relate to community living. The collection and analysis of this information will be conducted in PHASE I utilizing cognitive- information-systems and qualitative analytic techniques. Through the use of this methodology, the tangible and intangi- ble aspects of community living will be identified, their interrelationships understood, and their order, based on their relationship to community values, established. Specifically, PHASE I will entail a survey of community attitudes concerning Carlsbad as a place to live. Hopefully, the true qualitative value of Carlsbad's present and potential living environment will be unveiled. The survey will provide information regarding deficiencies in neighborhood improve- 3 ments including the conditions of streets, drainage facilities, lighting, recreation opportunities, pedestrsan ways , and etc. Also, the quality of other amenities in neighborhoods, such as privacy, conveniences, and aesthetics in terms of neigh- borhood design, form, and function. Supplementing this survey, PHASE I will also include a study of natural environ- mental conditions leading to conservation planning for environmental quality. Upon completion of PHASE I, goals and objectives for community living can be formulated (PHASE 2) and subsequently, policies and programs established to fulfill the purpose of the plan (PHASE 3) .) Goals will be formulated based on the values identified in PHASE I. The goals will be directed to the value of systems and functions of community living. The function and purpose of the community would comprise its role, thus its value to its inhabitants. PHASE 2 will supplant the General Plan elements dealing with goals and the living environment. Its structure will in- clude a "preamble" or statement of community values and ethics. Secondly, the goals will serve a purpose similar to the direction inherent in a "constitutioq", thereby setting direction of government and community responsibility, commitment, and conduct. Policies, priorities, and pro- grams will serve as the temporal mechanisms (PHASE 3) insuring action and results.
