HD.-,6 MTG. 12f22/87 SUB -REGIONAL PLANNING UNIT CITY AM X' DEPT. R/AG CiTY iV GR RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Consider Mayor Lewis' proposal to form a Sub -Regional Planning Unit. 2) Direct staff to implement City Council's desired programs. ITEM EXPLANATION A sub -regional planning unit is proposed by Mayor Lewis to deal with specific issues or a regional nature, such as circulation/traffic, solid waste/hazardous waste planning, open space opportunities and environ- mental protection. Growth management programs and land use issues are specificiaily not to be considered by this sub -regional group. The first meeting would be on circulation/traffic and will be followed with a "brainstorming" session to determine the next issues to be discussed. It is proposed that SANDAG be the staff support for this group, which should meet on a quarterly basis. This proposal by Mayor Lewis is an outgrowth of previously proposed regional planning programs, i.e., a North County Regional Planning Review Board. This proposal is reduced in scope, including the cities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Carlsbad, rather than all the North County jurisdictions. Attached is a comparison of the current regional proposal and Mayor Lewis' proposal. EXHIBITS 1) Letter to Council Members from Mayor Lewis, dated December 8, 1987. 2) Comparison of the two proposals. 3) Agenda Bill No. 9022, dated May 26, 1987, with attachments. December 8, 1987 TO: COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: Mayor Bud Lewis Please indicate your approval of this letter: A. Kulchin M. Pettine J. Mamaux E. Larson — REGIONAL PLANNING ISSUES RAISED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PETTINE AND COUNCIL MEMBER MAMAUX After discussing this issue with staff and all Council Members, I am making a recommendation that we consider a Sub -regional Planning Unit. It would be our intent for the City of Carlsbad to invite the following entities to a mid --week afternoon "brown -bag" session: the County of San Diego, and the cities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach. It is also our intent that SANDAG would participate as the support unit, to handle the workload and to serve as a neutral third party to review the information presented. All Council Members, Mayors, Planning Directors and Planning Commissioners, City Managers, and any other staff members who would want to attend will be invited. It would be our suggestion that the topic for the first session would be circulation/traffic, followed by additional sessions to discuss solid waste/hazardous waste planning; open space opportunities; and environmental protection. We do not believe that this group should get involved in growth management nor land use issues, because these issues are very sensitive to each individual city's needs and plans. At the conclusion of the first meeting we could have a "brain storming session" as to other issues we should discuss in the future, once again using SANDAG to be the support staff, carry the workload, and be a third neutral party in the brain storming. Hopefully we can establish a quarterly roundtable with appropriate staff representatives and at least two Council Members from each city, as a means for sharing ideas. Subjects could be what they are doing in their respective communities on various issues such as hillside ordinances, handling proposed locations of churches, or whatever else may be of interest to neighboring cities. 12/8/87 COMPARISON Mayor Lewis' Recommendation Name: Sub -Regional Planning Group Membership: Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carlsbad Staff: SANDAG - technical assistance and coordination; neutral third party Goal: To discuss issues at a quarterly round table Attendance: City Council Member, Planning Commissioners, City Managers, Planning Directors and other key staff members Meeting Quarterly round table to review, discuss and share ideas on reg- ional issues Limits: No growth management or land use issues to be considered EXHIBIT 2 Previous City Council Proposal North County Regional Planning Board Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Poway, Escondido, City of San Diego, San Diego County, Carlsbad Not addressed To consider issues such as regional transportation and compatible growth policies Planning Directors and a planning representative from the County of San Diego plonthly meetings to address specific issues of environmental significance and suggest long-range planning policies.

HD. MTG. 5/26/87 INCLUDED AS A POTENTIAL PARTICIPANT 1N CITY ATTY tj. -_ THE PROPOSED NORTH COUNTY REGIONAL DEPT. Council PLANNING RE /IEW BOARD CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Council policy the cities included are: Oceanside, Escondido, Vista, San Marcos, Poway and Carlsbad, as well as a Planning representative from the County of San Diego. By his own action, Mr. Pettine has added the cities of Encinitas, Solana Beach and Del Mar (Attachments 1 and 2) . A minor review of any North County map would quickly reveal the impact the City of San Diego has on the area. Since the City Council has shown an interest in "Regional Planning" should the City of San Diego be included in these deliberations? Does San Diego have a bigger influence than Poway? ATTACHMENTS: 1. Letter from Mr. Pettine, dated March 6, 1986. 2. Memo from Mr. Pettine, dated February 11, 1986. F 1200 ELM AVENUE CARLSBAD, CA 920MI989 C-Ity Council Office March 6, 1986 Sent to the Mayors and Council Members of: Oceanside, Escondido, Vista, San Marcos, Poway, Del Mar (Copies have also been \ send to Encinitas and Solana Beach) Growth management is the most important issue facing North County. The success by which, we manage growth in the years ahead will clearly affect the quality of life for all of our residents. The issue is truly regional in nature. Traffic is a Prime exairple. The efforts Of one city to control its circulation problems can be undermined by the lack of attention this problem receives by a neighboring jurisdiction. The cities of North Count;, must cooperate with one another and work together to address these issues. With your cooperation and assistance Y would like to Propose the establishment of a North County Regional Planning Board. This Board would be comprised of the planning directors from each North County city (i.e. Oceanside, Escondido, Vista, San Marcos, Poway and Carlsbad) and a planning representative from the County of San Diego. This approach would allow our owns land use planners to meet and exchange ideas. The advantage is that our planners not only possess an expertise in this area but they are also the most knowledgeable regarding problems unique to our area. rti_E=..,-�. ,6131 4U 5�, March 6, 19E6 Page 2 The Board would meet monthly and address both specific issues of environmental significance as well as suggest long range planning policies. The Board would render opinions on these matters which would be advisory to the various City Councils and the Board of Supervisors. Staff assistance could be provided by the various city and county land use planning staffs, as well as SA_NDAG. The Board would naturally establish its own agenda, however a suggested outline on long range planning issues would include: 1. Regional transportation issues. 2. Compatible city land use policies (i.e. zoning, open space, and growth policies). 3. Compatibility of cit%. and county land use policies. It this idea meets with your approval then the Carlsbad City Attorney is authorized to draft a model Joint Powers Agreement for your consideration. May I additionally suggest that a member of your Council be designated to assist in coordinating this project. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your.eooperation. Best personal regards, MARK V. PETTINE Council Member February 11, 19806 TO: MAYOR & COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: Council Member Mark V. Pettine NORTH COUNTY REGIONAL PLANNING BOARD Growth management is the most important issue facing not only Carlsbad but all of North County. What we do in Carlsbad will impact not only our residents but residents in the surrounding cities as well. Of course, the opposite is also true. The issue is truly regional in nature. Traffic is a prime example. The efforts of one city to control its circulation problems can be undermined by the lack of attention this problem receives by a neighboring jurisdiction. The cities of North County must cooperate with one another and work together to address these issues. Unfortunately that is not being done in any meaningful sense. I would like to propose the establishment of a North County Regional Planning Board. This Board would be comprised of the planning directors from each North County city (i.e. Oc_eanside,_Escondido, Vista, San Marcos, Poway and ,Carlsbad)�and a planning representative from the County of San Diego. The Board would meet monthly and address both specific issues of environmental significance as well as suggest long range planning policies. The Board would render opinions on these matters which would be advisory to the various City Councils and the Board of Supervisors. The Board would naturally establish its own agenda, however a suggested outline on long range planning issues would include: 1. Regional transportation issues. 2. Compatible city land use policies (i.e. zoning, open space, and growth policies). 3. Compatibility of city and county land use policies. I would like the City of Carlsbad to endorse this program. Following that endorsement this program could then be shared with the other cities and the county for comment and implemyntation. V �A MARK PETTINE Council Member
