statement of the Platter : An original ordinance revision was s bmitted by
the City Attorney at the request of this department. It was considered by
the City Council during the April 4, 1972'meeting and returned to staff for
revision because there was concern about our request to prohibit dogs from
City beaches. That.portion of the proposed ordinance has been deleted
though the State Department of Parks and Recreation will not permit dogs on
Carlsbad State Beaches after May 15, 1912.. (Refer to attached letter from
Mr. Jack Welch, Area Manager.)
It has become most necessary to prohibit the presence of dogs and golfing
in City parks, not only because of the hazard presented, but because it is
unpleasant for park users and maintenance personnel to play and v7ork
among dog droppings or flying golf balls and divots.

Dear Yo. Johnson:
Effective May 15, 1972, dogs will be prohibited on the beaches of
the San Diego Coast State Beaches. The specific units are Carlsbad,
South Carlsbad, Leucadia, Moonlight, San Elijo, Cardiff, and Torrey
Pines State Beaches.
There are three exceptions. The prohibition does not apply in the
campgrounds at South Carlsbad and San Elijo State Beaches or in the
Reserve portion of Torrey Pines. Visitors to these three units may
still bring their dogs subject to applicable control measures but may
not take them on the beaches. Dogs will not be permitted oil. the day
use State Beaches at Carlsbad, Leucadia, Moonlight, and Cardiff.
All beaches will be posted. Enforcement of the prohibition will be
by State Park System personnel in cooperation. with the County animal
control measures.
Campers planning to visit the two campgrounds and the reserve are
reminded that all dogs must be controlled, may not be left unattended,
and are not permitted on the trails within the reserve.
This prohibition is being imposed because of the increasing number of
dogs being permitted to run loose on the beaches, the hazard to
visitors, and the noisome sanitation problem.
We solicit the public cooperation. Questions may be referred to the
San Diego Coast State Beaches, 2680 Carlsbad Boulevard, Carlsbad,
California 92008; phone 729-8947•
Sincerely,
Q, P , wJ-&ej
