CITY I DEPT. PLN REPORT (7/94 - 6/95)
R€COMM€Nb€b ACTION:
That the City Council ACCEPT the annual report describing progress ma(
implementing the General Plan for the period 7/94 to 6/95.
ITEM EXPLANATION
With the adoption of the revised General Plan in the fall of 1994, the City Co
expressed its interest in receiving periodic reports on the progress which the C
making in the plan's implementation. Ir; addition, California State law provides that
a jurisdiction has adopted its general plan, the planning agency shall annually prc
a report to its legislative body on the status of the plan and progress ir
implementation.
In order to respond to this direction, the Planning Department prepared its annual rc
in two separate parts, with a document for each. One part, which was forr.
presented to the Council at a previous meeting, reported progress on the Hou
Element (only) of the General Plan. The other part, the subject of this Agenda
reports progress on the other seven elements of the General Plan. Separate docum
were prepared because: a) nearly 25% of the entire general plan consists of
housing element and certain housing data and programs are required by law tc
included in the annual report, and b) it is not practical to provide as much detail 01
of the 493 action programs contained within the entire general plan as is requirec
the housing element programs.
The attached document is entitled Carlsbad General Plan Annual Progress Report (9
6/95). Emphasizing progress on the balance of the General Plan, it discusses progres:
the plan's action programs in two ways. First, each City department was invited to high1
its activities on those action programs where it achieved significant progress during
reporting period. These highlights are set out, by department, in the first half of
document. The second half of the document consists of a very large matrix in which
general status of each of the 493 action programs of the entire General Plan (including
Housing Element) is outlined.
The period of time covered by this part of the progress report is the nine-month per
between the adoption of the new General Plan on September 6, 1994, through the end
the last fiscal year, June 30, 1995. Future progress reports will cover an entire fiscal ye

Subsequent to land acquisition and significant community involvement throughout tt
park planning process, during fiscal year 1994-95 the plans and specifications fc
development of Poinsettia Community Park were formulated. In addition to the plar
and specifications, permitting requirements, including Coastal Commissior
Department of Fish and Game, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife review were successfull
obtained. Toward the latter months of the fiscal year, City Council approved the par
plans and specifications and authorized the bid process.
Phase I of the park development will allow for grading the entire 42-acre park sit(
provide park access and parking, one lighted baseball field and one lighted adu
soccer field with two youth field overlays. Other amenities will include a tot lo,

worked cooperatively with the State of California in securing agreements necessar)
for the City to develop the facility on State property. An essential requirement of the
agreement was the City's acceptance of ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
Once agreement had been reached, department staff initiated preliminary desigr
concepts and secured required permits from the Coastal Commission, Plans anc
specifications based on preliminary design were approved and the project underwen1
the bid process including review, analysis and ultimate award of contract.
Construction of the facility began, but was not completed, prior to the end of fiscal
year 1995.
Aviara Oaks Activity Fields. (Park Development: C.1, C.2, C.3, C.4, C.5, C.18, C.21;
Recreation Programs: C.1, C.2, C.4, C.5)
At the urging of local sports organizations, and in an effort to provide activity fields
for community use in advance of scheduled development outlined in the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) Budget, the City initiated development of the Aviara Oaks
Middle School Activity Play Fields. The Community Services Department secured the
following agreements in order to facilitate advanced development.

a development plan for Carrillo Ranch Community Park. The Selection Committ
consists of two members of the Parks and Recreation Commission, one representati
of the Historic Preservation Commission, the Volunteer Carrillo Ranch Curator and t
Municipal Projects Manager.
The Selection Committee sent Requests for Qualifications to 70 firms to soli
interested and qualified applicants. Committee members reviewed responses by d
interested firms. After review, a short list of seven most qualified applicants we
selected and those applicants were requested to submit more detailed informatic
relating to past experience or new concepts as either may influence and/or impro
the park planning process for the Carrillo Ranch.
Hosp Grove Special Use Area Development (5.5 acre). (Park Development: C.3, C.1
C.5, C16, ca71 CJ 1, CJ2; Recreation Programs: C,5)
As a result of the Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement Study and having secur
a grant from the State of California for $172,000, staff initiated development of a 5
acre special use area within Hosp Grove. Initial development this year began WI
approvals from the Coastal Commission and preliminary grading and irrigatic
installation by City staff. By the end of fiscal year 1994-95, the remainder of tl
project was undergoing the bid process for project completion. Anticipated to I
complete by mid-November 1995 the project will provide parking, a tot lot, picr
facilities, signage, landscaping, and trails.
Agua Hedionda Lagoon. (Recreation Programs: C.2, C.3, C.7, C.8)
As a result of the 1994-95 budget deliberation process, funding for the Agi
Hedionda Lagoon Patrol Program had been eliminated. Justification for elimination
the program was based upon several factors including liability, cost of progra
operation vs. revenue and an assumed
continuation of recreational use of the lagoon with or without the City providing tt
patrol program based upon a finding by the State Attorney General's Office ar
Department of Boating and Waterways. Pursuant to the elimination of the patr
program, the owner of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon, SDG&E, threatened closure oft!
resource area to active recreation users (power vessels).
In an effort to address the concerns of the recreational users of the lagoon and insu
that the recreation program continued, the Parks and Recreation Comrnissic
recommended a citizens committee be formed to explore options to protect tt
continuity of recreational opportunities on the lagoon. The committee met sever
times with representatives of the user organizations, the general public, and city staf
As a result of these meetings, recommendations were made and approved by the Cii
Council as follows: 1 ) that the City continue the lease with SDG&E, assume liabiliti
and continue to fund the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Patrol Program, 21 that the annu and daily permit fees be increased by 2-112 times, 3) that the original goat to be 1C

Youth, Adult and Senior Programs (Recreation Programs: C.1, C.2, C.3, C.4, C.5)
Under the auspices of the Community Services Department and with the support of
the City Council, literally hundreds of recreation programs are offered for all ages and
interest groups ranging from toddlers to the senior population. In addition to Council
support through budgetary funding, these recreation programs are also made possible
through community donations of money, products and volunteer services. The

on securing an additional 2 million dollars in funds from the Federal Governme I for the seawall project.
c.11 Interconnect and synchronize the operation of traffic signals along arter 1 streets whenever feasible.
As part of the Downtown Streetscape program, the Engineering Departme
recently completed a contract to interconnect and synchronize the traf
signals along Carlsbad Village Drive from Harding Street to State Street.
addition, as part of the Poinsettia Lane / Interstate 5 interchange improveme
project, the department is currently in the process of installing an interconne
for the synchronization of the traffic signals along Poinsettia Lane from Pas
Del Norte to Avenida Encinas.
C. 12 Prepare and maintain a traffic signal qualification list to recommend priorities f
the construction of new traffic signals.
The Traffic Signal Qualification List is updated every two years. The Trafi
Engineer is currently in the process of preparing the bi-yearly update.

Through the cooperative efforts the Community Development staff and tt-
owners of the Carlsbad Lutheran Home, Engineering staff was able to work 01
a plan to enhance and increase the available public parking spaces within tt
beach area adjacent to the existing Carlsbad Lutheran Home. Under tb
proposed redevelopment plan, the Lutheran Home would construct an addition
233 private spaces underground, thus freeing existing surface street parking fc
public use. Additionally, in exchange for a minor vacation of the right-of-wa
along Christiansen Way, the developer will construct a new 51-space publi
parking lot within the adjacent Garfield Street right-of-way and reconstruc
Grand Avenue compatible with the downtown’s pedestrian oriented streetscap
motif. In all, 25 additional public parking spaces will be added to this importar I City resource area.
Alternative Modes of Transoortation
C. 1 Encourage the construction of sidewalks along all public roadways with speciz
emphasis given to collectors, arterials and areas with high pedestrian traffi
12
generators such as schools, commercial centers, transportation facilities, public
buildings, beaches and parks.
Provide for handicapped access to and along public sidewalks and along as
much of the trail system as possible.
c.5
C.10 Prepare and maintain an inventory of all missing and incomplete sidewalk
segments within the City for the purpose of prioritizing future sidewalk
construction.
The Engineering Department has pursued an aggressive program for the
completion of important sidewalk links and the installation of handicapped
ramps within the older part of the City. During the past fiscal year the City
completed missing sidewalk links and, where appropriate, installed handicap
ramps along portions of Monroe Street, Park Drive, Magnolia Avenue and
Basswood Avenue. The sites were selected using the City's Sidewalk Inventory
Report and the criteria established pursuant to the General Plan goals and
objectives. The annual cost of the sidewalk construction program is
approximately $500,000 per year.
The City Traffic Engineer has begun a new program to inventory all existing
handicap ramp locations in the City. Once the inventory is complete, which
should be sometime in the fall of 1995, the Traffic Engineer will begin the task
of installing handicap ramps at needed locations concurrent with the annual
sidewalk construction program.
C. 12 Extend bicycle routes to cultural, educational and recreational facilities
whenever practical.
C.15 Improve bicycle access to the beach.
Over the past year, the Engineering Department administered contracts for the
construction of three important linkages in the City's bicycle route plan, along
Tamarack Avenue, along Jefferson Street and along Palomar Airport Road east
of El Camino Real. The Tamarack Avenue road widening project, between
Interstate 5 and Carlsbad Boulevard, significantly improved bicycle access to
from Interstate 5 to Marron Road, significantly improved bicycle access to Plaza
Camino Real and to the Buena Vista Lagoon for the residents of the downtown
area. The Palomar Airport Road project included bike lanes to provide for the
safe movement of cyclists along this important arterial route linking the coastal
and industrial areas of Carlsbad with the residential areas in San Marcos and
Vista.
Additionally, the City is midway through a contract to widen Poinsettia Lane
over Interstate 5. Once completed, bicycle access to the adjoining commercial
areas and to the beach should be greatly enhanced for residents in the
southwest quadrant of the City.

Engineering Department staff expended considerable effort over the past fe
years to implement this objective. The three interchange projects we
coordinated closely with CALTRANS to ensure that adequate ramp capacity ar
ramp metering was included as an integral part of the interchange widenir
projects. The Poinsettia Lane interchange is currently under construction. Tt
La Costa Avenue interchange project received CALTRANS approval this pa
14
year and will begin construction once the Poinsettia Lane interchange
improvements are complete. Once completed these projects should provide
adequate onloff ramp capacity for these interchanges to City build-out.
Additionally, Engineering staff have been working with CALTRANS to improve
the 1-5 on/off ramps at Cannon Road. These improvements are being
coordinated closely with the Carlsbad Ranch project and should be on-line
before the opening of the Carlsbad LEGO Family Park. As part of its incentive
package to entice LEGO to California, the State has directed CALTRANS to
provide approximately $1,500,000 in funding towards the Cannon Road
interchange enhancement project.

Water Qualitv Preservation
C.l Adopt and implement a Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management
Plan.
The Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan was adopted
by City Council in September of 1994. The adoption of the Master Drainage
Plan represented the culmination of several years worth of staff effort collecting
data, preparing orthotopographic maps of the City, conducting field surveys,
calculating drainage quantities and preparing a comprehensive fee program to
ensure the provision of major drainage facilities commensurate with the need
for such facilities. The drainage fee program was implemented in November of
1994 in accordance with State law. The Engineering Department has also
pursued implementation of the water quality enhancement program outlined in
the Master Drainage Plan. (See below for additional details)
Develop and implement a program to detect and eliminate illicit connections to
storm drains and illegal discharges of non-storm water wastes into storm water
conveyance systems.
The Engineering Department began implementation of a program to detect and
eliminate illicit connections and illegal discharges to the City’s storm drainage
systems two years ago. Basically, the program involves the field testing of
storm drain outfalls during the summer months to discover abnormal pollutant
levels and a follow-up program to eliminate any illicit connections or illegal
dumping of non-storm water discharges into City owned drainage facilities. In
1993, the Engineering Department retained a consultant to develop a testing
program and to train Community Services Department field staff to conduct the
required field testing. For the past two summer seasons, Community Services
Department staff conducted the testing program and performed any needed
follow-up activities.
The next step towards full implementation of the program is adoption of a storm
drainage ordinance establishing drainage discharge criteria and making it illegal

to connect non-storm water pipes or to dump non-storm water discharges in
a City storm drainage facility. Engineering staff have been working with t
City Attorney’s office and with the San Diego Regional Water Quality Conti
Board to develop an ordinance which complies with the latest State and Fede
requirements. The new ordinance will be brought forward for City Coun
review and approval within the next two months.
The Engineering Department has been tasked with the administration of the c
weather testing program for the ‘95 summer season. Engineering staff ha
retained a consulting firm to perform the field work. The testing is presen
underway and the annual testing report should be complete within the nc
month.
Implement a program for the testing and monitoring of storm water flows.
The City is required pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Eliminatic
System (NPDES) permit issued by the San Diego Regional Quality Control Boa
(SDRWQCB), to conduct yearly testing and monitoring at selected locations
detect the existence and level of various environmental pollutants within t
storm water discharged during annual storm events. Under the guidelines
the NPDES permit, the City is permitted to combine resources with the ott-
agencies, listed under the region-wide NPDES permit, to test representati
basins throughout San Diego County. For the past couple years, the City a
its co-permitees have conducted tests at three representative sites within t
North County area, two of which are located within Carlsbad.
The result of the annual tests are collated into report format and delivered
the SDRWQCB. The data are used to identify target pollutants and to determii
a base line for future comparison. The testing is done by a consulting firm hirc
by the City of San Diego which is listed as the principal permittee on the NPDE
permit. The City makes an annual contribution of approximately $20,000 to pi
its pro rata share of the testing program.

Each year the Finance Department prepares the Capital Improvement Progr
budget and follows a series of steps to ensure compliance with applica
in accordance with the goals of the General Pian.
Revenues were forecasted using development projections received from *
Community Development Department, resulting in an estimate of when fur
would be available for the construction of projects.
Projects were prioritized through discussions which focussed on public hea
and safety, compliance with federal and state mandates, and curing existi
deficiencies in facilities and services. The funding estimate was then overl;
with the City’s Growth Management standards, as well as the projc
expenditure list complied by the Engineering Department, and initial cash flc
schedules were produced. Where funding was not sufficient to meet t
proposed expenditure schedule, additional priorities were established, ai
timing changes were made. In some cases, inter-fund loans were scheduled
that projects could be completed in advance of revenue receipts.
Over the past few years the effects of the slow economy have resulted in sor
significant scheduling changes. In cases where future funding was insufficier
such as for operations for the South Carlsbad Library, construction w
postponed. For other projects, phasing expenditures over a period of time h
been implemented,

Airport was completed in April, 1994. No changes to the CLUP have been
made since that time. Staff continues to review all projects within the Airport
Influence Area for consistency with the CLUP and submits projects to the
Airport Land Use Commission for review and comment. Projects are
conditioned as necessary to provide recorded notices of aircraft environmental
impacts, avigation easements, and, sales office notices to alert buyers of
proximity of a project to the airport.
Coordinate with the San Diego Association of Governments and the Federal
Aviation Administration to protect public health, safety and welfare by ensuring
the orderly operation of the Airport and the adoption of land use measures that
minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within
areas around the airport.

C. Implement the policies of the Regional Growth Management Strategy when the
program is adopted by the City.
Following the adoption of Proposition "C" by the region's voters in 1988 the
member agencies of SANDAG agreed to develop a Regional Growth
Management Strategy (RGMS). The heart of the strategy became a list of
quality of life factors in nine areas of region wide importance: air quality,
transportation, water, sewage treatment, sensitive lands preservation and opens
space protection, solid waste management, hazardous waste management,
housing, and economic development. Over time, the region has developed and
20

adopted a number of plans, strategies, and other documents, whic
collectively, comprise the Regional Growth Management Strategy. Some
these documents include: I

The work is not yet complete. For example, major regional planning efforts a
underway directed at preserving sensitive lands and habitat protection, via tt
north county Multiple Habitat Conservation Plan and the south county Mull
Species Conservation Plan. Work also continues on the financing of region
infrastructure and on other topics.
Each completed element or segment of the Regional Growth Managemer
Strategy (RGMS) contains principles, policies and objectives. The SANDA
member jurisdictions have agreed to subscribe voluntarily to these principle
policies, and objectives through their incorporation into local general plan!
municipal codes, council policies, and capital improvement plans. Periodicall\
the member jurisdictions take stock of their progress in implementing the pari
of the RGMS through their individual and collective responses to a progres
questionnaire distributed and tabulated by SANDAG. Because the questionnair
typically has several hundred questions, it is not possible to repo
comprehensively here the status of the City in complying with all parts of th
RGMS. However, in the last survey, completed in May 1994 for the perio
1/93 - 12/93, the City had complied with the vast majority of the Strategy’
provisions, as the Strategy then existed. In the interim, the Land Us
Distribution Element and the Energy Element have been completed, th
Economic Prosperity Element has been updated, and changes have occurred i
the status of the region’s air quality, and, hence our obligations for program
in transportation demand management and congestion management strategie:
The next progress survey will be expanded to include questions designed t
show progress on the new elements and in response to the other changes. Th
survey is currently targeted to begin during the first quarter of 1996.

C.2 Enhancement or improvement of Special Resource Areas will require approvals
and shall conform to the requirements of all regulatory agencies involved.
Enhancement of Batiquitos Lagoon began during the past year and has made
significant progress in restoring the lagoon to biological health. The project has
all necessary permits from local, state, and federal agencies. Work is
continuously monitored by a team of experts in the fields of biology, water
quality, and coastal engineering.
Among the accomplishments this year is dredging of the central basin and a
large portion of the east basin. Over 1 million cubic yards of high quality sand
was placed on adjacent beaches. Sand dredged from the lagoon was also used
to construct two new bird nesting sites (W-2 and E-1) to supplement the
existing W-1 site.
These nesting sites have been exceptionally productive in their first year of use.
For the spring of 1995, Least Terns established 93 nests and produced 144
chicks. Western Snowy Plovers established 15 nests and produced 40 eggs,
making Batiquitos Lagoon the second most important Snowy Plover nesting site
in San Diego County.
Acknowledge and attempt to preserve the environmental sensitivity and ecology
within appropriate Sensitive Resource Areas.
Carlsbad has a number of sensitive resource areas, including the three coastal
lagoons, Lake Calavera, numerous creeks and streams, coastal sage scrub, and
southern maritime chaparral. The City's primary mechanism for acknowledging
and preserving these areas is the draft Habitat Management Plan (HMP). In
June of 1995, a major step forward was taken with approval of the Fieldstone
Habitat Conservation Plan, which is a key component of the HMP. The
Fieldstone plan conserves approximately 700 acres of coastal sage scrub and
other habitats.
C.3

The City has also worked with other land owners to encourage conservation
sensitive resources. For example, the Bank of America has established t
former Carlsbad Highlands property as a mitigation bank. 83 acres has alrea
been sold to CalTrans, and other sales are pending. The City worked closc
with developers of the Aviara project and resource agency staff to includc
wildlife corridor within Phase Ill of that project. It is anticipated that a numt
of similar projects which are presently in planning will come to fruition in t
coming year.
Promote expansion of educational use opportunities in ares of significa
ecological value where discretionary use of the resource allows.
The Batiquitos Lagoon project in conjunction with the Batiquitos Lagoi
Foundation has established a highly popular program to bring young children
the lagoon. Teachers from local schools are given assistance in developin(
curriculum unit on the lagoon, which may include study of biology, wai
quality, geology, prehistory, and other topics. The entire class is given a ha
day tour of the lagoon, led by a volunteer docent from the Batiquitos Lagoc
foundation. The program has enabled 89 classrooms to visit the lagoon tt

C.13 Implement Council Direction regarding the development of a municipal gc
course within the City.
The City is actively pursuing a municipal golf course on approximately 25
acres of land generally located at the northwest and northeast corners (
Palomar Airport Road and College Boulevard. The fiscal year has been spel
considering the acquisition and the actual acquisition of the majority of the Ian
necessary for the golf course. Purchase of the property has been mac
possible through transfers from the General Fund into the Golf Cour:

Prior to acquisition of these properties, biological resources surveys wei
conducted. The studies determined that there is a need to be sensitive in tt
design of the course to minimize disturbance to a relatively significant coast
sage scrub habitat corridor running north to south within the eastern portion (
the property.
Concept/feasibility plans for an 1 8-hole championship course, a clubhouse, an
a practice facility have been prepared. Comments regarding these plans hav
23
been submitted to the City by the Golf Course Steering Committee.
Opportunities to provide linkage between the municipal course and a proposed
1 &hole golf course associated with the proposed hotel site within the Carlsbad
Ranch Specific Plan are also being considered. At the present time, the City is
seeking a qualified golf course designer/builder/operator capable of producing
a course meeting the City's specifications. A Request for Qualifications
solicitation has been sent out to 71 firms, and the selection process will focus
on the most qualified firms.

c. 19 Recognize that the map entitled "Conceptual Open Space and
Conservation Map" dated June 1992, (see Map 2:
Conceptual Open Space and Conservation Map) represents
the conceptual open space priorities of the City. The
conceptual components of this map, including greenways and
trails, are intended to be flexible, and should not be
interpreted as depicting precise, rigid alignments. It is
anticipated that the alignments of the greenways and trails
may be adjusted as warranted as better information becomes
available through additional fieldwork, further environmental
analysis, more detailed planning, or similar future activities.
However, the points where a greenway or trail passes from
one Local Facilities Management zone to another, or from
one property ownership to an adjacent ownership should
remain consistent with this map, unless an agreement has
been reached with the adjacent zone or property ownership to
shift the transition point A general plan amendment will not
be required to specifically site the conceptual components of
this map. A general plan amendment will be required if any
conceptual component is deleted.
Require that the following procedure be adhered to for
adjusting the boundaries of any open space area shown on
the map titled "Official Open Space and Conservation Map"
dated June 1992. Findings required for the approval of a
boundary adjustment to the map are as follows:
(1) The proposed open space area is equal to or greater than the area depicted on the Official Open Space and
The proposed open space area is of environmental
quality equal to or greater than that depicted on the
Official Open Space and Conservation Map; and
The proposed adjustment to open space, as depicted on
the Official Open Space and Conservation Map, is
contiguous or within close proximity to open space as
shown on the Official Open Space Map.

shown on the open space maps but only if it finds that the
modification is necessary to mitigate a sensitive
environmental area which is impacted by development,
provided the boundary modification preserves open space at a
2 to 1 ratio (proposed acreage to existing acreage) and is
within close proximity to the original area of open space.
Additionally, City Council may exempt public rights-of-way
from the boundary adjustment procedures. However,
environmental analysis shall be performed for all proposed
public rights-of-way improvements, and if determined that
there are significant adverse impacts to the value of the open
space system. thaee impads shall be mitigated.
It is not the intention of this boundary adjustment procedure
to allow for the exchange of environmentally constrained

not environmentally constrained.

The purpose of this memorandum is to convey to you, for your information, the attached docum)
entitled, Cahbad General Plan Annual Progress Report (9194 - 6195).
With the adoption of the revised General Plan on September 6,1994, the City Council indicated
interest in receiving periodic reports on the progress the City is making in implementing
numerous action programs contained within the plan. In addition, California State law provides ti
after a jurisdiction has adopted its generai plan, the planning agency shall annually provide a rep
to the legislative body on the status 05 the plan and progress in its implementation.
In order to respond to this direction. the Planning Department prepared its annual report in t
several weeks ago, reported progress on the Housing Element (only) of the General Plan. The otl
part, the subject of this memorandum. reports progress on the other seven elements of the Gene
Plan. Separate documents were prepared: a) nearly 25% of the entire general plan consists of 1
housing element and certain housing data and programs are required by law to be included in 1
annual report, and 2) it is not practical to provide as much detail on all of the 493 action prograr
contained within the entire general pian as is required for the housing element programs.
Because of the very large number of programs addressed in the second document and the limit1
time that would be available for a formal presentation to the Council, it was decided that the writt
report would be provided to the Council via a memorandum, without a formal oral report.
The attached document, emphasizing progress on the balance of the General Plan, discusses progre
on the plan’s action programs in two ways. First. each City department was invited to highlight
activities on those action programs where it achieved significant progress during the reporting peric
These highlights are set out, by department. in the first half of the document. The second haif
