During the City Council meeting on August 28th, the Council authorized staff to apply for
funding in the amount of $172,000 under the 1988 State Park Bond Act for a passive/active
development for a portion of Hosp Grove (5.5 acres). Staff has sent the application
summary with the agenda bill and resolution authorizing the application for funding. This
will serve as Carlsbad's Notice of Intent to collect its per capita allotment ($172,000) under
the State Bond Act.
Parks and Recreation staff has begun work updating the City of Carlsbad's Landscape
Manual. These standards which the City imposes on developers will include, for example,
stronger water conservation requirements and update technical requirements.
