In light of the current level of activity, (General Plan Revision, E.I.S., Annexations, etc.) taking place within the City of Carlsbad and within the City's designated planning area, it is essential that the Planning Department possess the capabilities to create, update and maintain such data base and information system. The normal levy placed upon a Planning Departments' information resource are: a. Land -Use,- inventory designating type land use by acreage, density, age, use intensity, vacancy rates, etc. b. Physical Characteristics, ie soils, slope, seismic activity by type. c. Circulation system by amount of land, size and function. d. Population characteristics, age, sex, ethnic type, income level, number persons per family, school age population, etc. e. Annexation requirements. f. School requirements. g. Public Utility requirements. The forementioned items are only representative of the diverse kinds of considerations required of the Planning process. This department currently has information which directs itself to land use, _physical characteristics, circulation and population. However, the infor- mation has not been maintained, collected, nor does the information base have the capacity to grow without a concentrated effort by an individual knowledgeable in data base systems. Therefore, it is critical at this time in the City's development, an individual be designated to be responsible primarily for this described function.
