City Manager
Statement of the Natter
10-13 A preliminary study of a possible inhabited annexation of LaCosta has
been completed. The staff has discussed the procedure for considering the annexation with San Diego County officials. The County will assist
in the study phase of the proposal via the "Integrated Regional Environ- mental Management" program. This will save on City staff time by pro-
viding important information necessary for analysis of the different
possibilities of annexation.
Exhi bi t
LaCosta annexation study (to be forwarded separately).

City Manager's Recommendation
LaCosta has been developed logically as zt quality residential area. Although our data is quite preliminary, it indicates revenues derived from the LaCosta area would be adequate to provide for present and future municipal services to that community.
It is recommended the staff be authorized to prepare annexation bound- aries, develop pre-annexation zoning, and otherwise prepare materials for submission to L.A.F.Co. We will also submit a copy of our pre- liminary report to the LaCosta Corp. to indicate the level of services proposed for that community and will continue to work with the property owners involved.
Council'Action The Council acknowledged receipt of the preliminary study for the possible inhabited annexation of 9-21-71 La Costa. The matter was deferred until the next regular meeting for study by the Council nembers.
10-5-71 Staff to continue investigation as to feasibility of

ANNEXATION OF LA COSTA
A PRELIMINARY REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Carlsbad City Council Mr. Irving Roston - La Costa
Gen tl emen :
Recently La Costa has engaged a professional consultant and
has otherwise undertaken to examine future governmental pos- sibilities for that area. One of the possibilities open to La Costa is annexation to Carlsbad. It is to our mutual ad- vantage to examine this possibility. Carlsbad needs to deter- mine its southeastern boundary to plan for the future, and La Costa needs to know if annexation is a viable alternative in considering the future of that community. We have briefly con- sidered other alternatives than annexation for La Costa in order
to present a more balanced report.
This report is a preliminary one and has developed data only to the point necessary to allow a decision to be made. It considers the same essential question considered in the Leucadia report -- Is annexaticn mutually beneficial to Carlsbad and La Costa?
Again, as previously, every effort has been made to be fair and
not weight the report towards a preconceived conclusion. The
basis of our recommendation is clear from data contained in the report.

I1 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Any inhabited annexation to an existing municipality must be con-
sidered in terms of mutual advantages to both the residents of the
annexing city and the residents of the area to be annexed. The area to be annexed must consider at least the following:
1. Are there common interests in land use control?
2. Will annexation provide increased and/or new governmental services?
3. Will the annexing area be able to participate politically and have a voice in the city government?
4. Will the annexing city provide open space, endeavor to eliminate blight (if existing), and otherwise work to improve the annexed area?
5. Will the same level of services be provided to the annexing area that residents of the city enjoy?
In returnp the city considering annexation of an inhabited area must consider:
1. Can the city provide services to the newly annexed area of the
2. Will the newly annexed area 'be able to generate sufficient
same type and quality provided to the existing city?
revenues to provide the services it requires?
3. Does the inhabited area to be annexed have leadership that can be called upon for recommendations?
4. Do capital facilities to service the existing area exist, or can they be developed in a reasonable length of time?
5. Does there exist adequate interest in the inhabited area consid- ering annexation to support the complicated proceedings required for an inhabited annexation?
In our opinion, all five questions that would concern the residents of La Costa nay be answered in the affirmative. We then turn to
the questions that Carlsbad residents may propound. questions one,
two, three, can be answered in the affirmative. Four may also be
answered in the affirmative. Five is unknown, but evidence to date
indicates a qualified yes may be forthcoming.
Our preliminary figures indicate that La Costa would provide revenues adequate to provide an excellent level of service to that community and still maintain a favorable revenue-expenditure balance of nearly
$200,000. As La Costa develops, there will be a need for a permanent
branch civic center containing a branch library, additional fire
station and branch city offices. There will also be a need for
acquisition and development of park and open space. Hence, antici-
pated surpluses in the General Fund, Library Funds, Parks and Boulevards Fund, etc., should be accumulated to acquire necessary
-3- 9-21-71
capital facilities to serve La Costa as it grows and to contribute to community-wide facilities. It probably will be possible to
achieve a modest property tax reducti.on if La Costa is annexed
by reducing the tax levy for employee retirement.
This preliminary report indicates tentative revenue-expenditure requirements for an entire fiscal year. After consultation with
property owners and residents , the expenditure category may require minor modification. !de may also be able to project, at least on a tentative basis, capital projects.
It should be noted that if the annexation is concluded, the first six months to year and one-half revenue-expenditure pattern would differ. During this period, prior to receipt of municipal property taxes, operations would be funded from current revenues and funds remaining from the county service district. During this period it
would be necessary to utilize transient occupancy funds and all. current revenues until the normal revenues from real property taxes are received. This is normal with any inhabited annexation of consequence.
-4- 9-21-71
I11 SERVICES REQUIRED
La Costa receives 'a wide range of community services from the County of San Diego, a county service area, special districts and private utilities. These services vary but are of better quality than most urbanized county areas due to contractual services through the
county service area. Partially due to the county service area, taxes are in the same range as a municipality.
A. Governmental Controls
The legislative end policy-making body for La Costa in most areas is the Board of Supervisors. Any Board is able to spend a lim-
ited amount of time on the municipal type problems of unincor- porated communities. In an urbanized county, such as San Diego, the large population in each supervisoral district prohibits de- tailed consideration of La Costa's particular problems. It- is obvious that there would be more direct representation and con- sideration as part of a relatively small city than is presently possible.
B. Buildina and Plannina
La Costa as a planned community lacks the conflicting land uses, blight and other characteristics of many inhabited areas. While set in pleasant rolling hills, it lacks natural vegetation fea- tures. The developers have therefore created a golf course and other planted areas in order to achieve a pleasant atmosphere for the development. Planning and building inspection problems
appear to be minimal.
Annexation of La Costa would not in itself require additional manpower in the Building and Planning Departments. However, a
continuing review of development activity should be maintained.
It is obvious that were La Costa part of Carlsbad additional man-
power in these two departments would occur chronologically earli- er.
C. Police Protection
La Costa is an area of approximately 3,000 acres, 5.3 miles of streets and 20 miles of bridle trails. It contains 515 resi- dential structures, plus 224 house pads. There are five (5) business structures, consisting of a spa, hotel, recreational
building, pro golf shop and storage area, plus several stables.
There is a present potential growth of 739 residential struc- tures on existing property, when completed. Future expansion will very likely be a major shopping center, a large residential area, and very little, if any, industrial development.
Response time is figured from the police station to the hotel, and at the present time is very difficult because of road con- struction on El Camino Real. Under existina conditions it takes between 10 and 15 minutes to respond, depending upon the route we take --. Interstate 5 to La Costa Avenue, or Interstate 5 to
Palomar Airport Road to El Camino Real. To be effective, it
-5- 9-21-71

would be necessary for us to relieve our units at La Costa it-
self, rather than have thein come to the station at the end of each watch.
Following is an itemized list of estimated expenses for per- sonnel and equipment. The figures are based on one year’s
service.
PERSONNEL: TOTAL $67,742
5 Patrolmen ............................ $49,520 Salary for the five personnel is fig- ured at Range 32, Steps A and E for six months, respectively. These personnel will make it possible to put one unit in the field on a 24-hour basis.

C. Police Protection (cont'd.)
9-21-71
It is the opinion of the Chief of Police that the annexation of La Costa would be advisable for Carlsbad. The police prob- lems are relatively minor. The Department should, in all fair-
ness to the residents of La Costa, go into a specialized pro- gram which deals with problems peculiar to the location, and .
which, at the present time, we are not adequately trained to handle but could be within six months.
D. Fire Protection
Minimum fire protection and ambulance service for La Costa will
cost approximately $107,906 per year. There will be an ad- ditional one time expense of $4,500 (protective clothing, badges, "Plectrons", medical examinations, etc. for eight men.
Initially, if we provide fire and ambulance protection, we should have a minimum of three men on duty and at least one, but preferably two men, on a rotating standby for the entire Carlsbad area at all times, to be compensated at a rate to be
established.
Currently insufficient fire protection and ambulance service is provided La Costa by means of a County Service District. A total
of six people are employed as follows: One chief, whose head-
quarters are in Rancho Santa Fe; one captain who works eight hours a day for four days and then one 24-hour shift; one engi- neer and three firemen who are on 24-hour shifts, working a 72- hour week. They are reinforced by volunteers, but in actuality they have little training. Occasionally they only have one man on duty, and depend on calling back their off-duty personnel. This also must be done whenever their ambulance is used for trans- porting to the hospital. (Last year they had about 40 ambulance
calls).
La Costa is actually two distinct areas separated by the golf course. The northern portion is the larger and further along with its development. Both sections are growing at a very fast rate.
The heart of the area and the high value section is around two very large two-story buildings, the club house and the "spa"
with its related shops. Both are fully sprinklered and have
non-combustible roofs. In this same area are two 3-story, 48- unit condominium apartment houses with subterranean garages,
the exterior covered with cedar shake shingles. Also in this
area are the stables, and future super-market site.
The water system is new and according to the Carlsbad Municipal Water District is good. Hydrants are spaced at 500' intervals except in a few areas. (There should be on-site hydrants thru the La Costa Village area). The pressure is also good.
-8- 9-21-71
D. Fire Protection (cont'd.)
The roads are ample in size, but for any type of an emergency system they are p'oor. There should be at least one road going north and south connecting the two segments of the community thru the golf course, if just a graveled "emergency only" type.
Eventually a second fire station will be needed and the site should be selected now contingent on the planned development
of this area. Along this same line, the current fire station was poorly planned and obviously bui 1 t without consul tin? NBFU
Bulletin #175. If possible the vacant property adjoining the
existing station should be acquired for badly needed additional area and ultimate expansion of this station.
The equipment at this station consists of:
1 1970 750 GPM Ford Seagrave Triple Combination
1 750 GPM Mack Triple Combination, age unknown (purchased ''used" from Oceanside)
1 1000-gallon, 6-wheel drive tanker with 60 GPM pump
1 1970 Ford Panel Ambulance
1 Jeep - age unknown - in fair condition
Radio equipment is compatible with the County Fire Net, but the
crystals would have to be changed to match our future frequency.
The existing fire station is aptly located to cover the property located west of El Camino (Frank Ayres' "Rancho La Costa" 2,000
acres). Together with the proposed stations at Poinsettia and 1-5 (Occidental Petroleum - 400 acres) and Palomar Airport, it would give us excellent coverage for this entire south and south- east areas of our future development.

streets are relatively new and constructed to current standards. Equipment and personnel to service La Costa are as follows:

G. Library
The nearest library service for La Costa is at San Diego County Library system's branch at Encinitas. If La Costa were annexed, a Carlsbad branch library would be provided at La Costa. Library services would be drastically improved upon annexation. Costs are
as follows:
Requirements for La Costa Branch Library
Square footage 8,000 (min. of 5,000)
Parking spaces 30 Book capacity 20,000
Seating 100
Staff Professional Librarian ($700 per month) $ 8,400

Construction Costs
8,000 sq. ft. 0 $23 184,000 Equipment and furnishing 20,000 Site 20,000 224,000
It is estimated that every branch will increase total cost by about $25,000 per year.
This is virtually the same as for the proposed Leucadia branch library, except that the collection would be upgraded.
H. Parks and Recreation
Revenues and future land donation through our parks-in-lieu ordi-
nance are sufficient to provide park areas on a pay-as-we-go basis.
- 11 - 9-21-71
H. Parks and Recreation (Cont'd.)
Maintenance of landscaped areas and any needed public recreation activities to supplement La Costa's extensive program pose no
unusual problems.
I. Other Public Services
There would be no immediate changes in utility or school services from the existina situation. There would be a definite need to
work cooperatively with the variocrs school and special districts to achieve more rational boundaries for these services. County services, such as health, welfare, courts, hospitals, animal con- trol, etc., would not be affected by annexation.

IV TAX BASE
La Costa's tax base is estimated on the basis that all of the
La Costa holdings,plus a minimum of additional territory, would
be included. Hence, these estimates are conservative. A larger
annexation would increase that portion of the tax base derived from real property taxation. Revenues are based on an estimated population of 600 and an assessed valuation of $20,000,000.

V GOVERNMENTAL ALTERNATIYES
There are a number of governmental alternatives that can be
considered for the La Costa community. They are as follows:
A. County Service Area
La Costa is presently served by County Service Area 82. This method of providing local government services is not considered desirable because of its over-reliance on property tax, lack of planning control, and other limit-
ing characteristics of such service areas.
B. IncorPoration
Because of the limited population of La Costa, it is quite possible incorporation may not be legally feasible. If
legally possible, separate incorporation would limit ser- vice to a low level for a number of years due to the normal operating overhead of any municipality. This is a severe problem for small cities.
C. Annexation
Annexation to San Marcos is possible but would require a strip type annexation or a separate, prior annexation of
Lake San Marcos. It is also doubtful that, considering its size, San Marcos has sufficient resources to provide ser- vices such as a branch library, branch civic center, etc.
Annexation to Carlsbad is possible with no significant prob- lems in either boundaries or provision of services, Most of La Costa has been in Carlsbad's General Plan area for a number
of years. The annexation appears to be mutually advantageous to both communities.
