programs are generally very consistent with the RGMS. However, we must answer "no"

as is called for by the questions. On the Land Use Distribution Element, the City's residc

LOCAL/REGIONAL CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST
FOR THE
REGIONAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
AND CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
January 1996
(For the period 1/94 - 12/95)
This checklist is to be used by local and regional agencies to determine the consistency
of their general and community plans, policies and regulations/ordinances with the Regional Growth Management Strategy and Congestion Management Program. It will
also be used to monitor implementation of the recommended actions and the achievement
of the quality of life standards and objectives. Local and regional agencies will describe
what actions they have taken or will take to achieve consistency with the Strategy and
evaluate their performance with respect to the quality of life standards and objectives.
The questions are organized according to the nine quality of life factors as follows:
Air Quality and Transportation/Congestion Management
Regional Trip Reduction Program
Transportation Capacity Expansion to Help Provide Alternatives to Driving
Alone/Transit Performance Standards
Land Use Actions/Level of Service Standards for Arterials and Freeways
Transportation System Management
Water
Sewage Treatment
Sensitive Lands and Open Space Preservation and Protection
Solid Waste Management

Economic Prosperity (There are no questions related to the Economic Prosperity
Strategy that are the responsibility of the cities or County. SANDAG is responsible
for monitoring the status of the region's economy as described in the Strategy.)
The questions are categorized according to the parties responsible for answering them;
Le., the cities and the County, the transit boards, the County Water Authority, etc.
The transportation questions have also been designed to enable the cities and County
to self-certiQ conformance with the Congestion Management Program (CMP)
requirements.
Guidelines to help answer the open space/sensitive lands questions are also included
(Attachment 1). These guidelines are derived from the Definition of Regionally
Significant Open Space and may be used, if a jurisdiction wishes, to provide more specific
information about its open space and sensitive lands regulations.
There are two types of questions in the Checklist: self-certification questions and
monitoring questions. The self-certification questions precede the monitoring questions
in each section and compose the information presented to the Board of Directors on
the region's self-certification status. The monitoring questions are noted with an asterisk
(*), and are intended to provide SANDAG with information to monitor the region's
progress toward achieving self-certification and implementing the Strategy. The
responsible agency should answer the questions by checking "Yes," "No" or !Not
Applicable," or by providing the requested information and noting its source. A question is included (except in the Energy and Land Use Distribution Element sections) which
allows agencies to note if compliance was achieved in a previous year.
A "Yes" answer indicates consistency with the Strategy, and should be documented
by noting the ordinance number and date of adoption, the element of the
General/Community Plan(s), or other policy or regulation.
A "No" answer indicates inconsistency with the Strategy, and requires the reporting
agency to indicate what actions will be taken, and a schedule to achieve consistency.
A "Not Applicable" answer should be used when the question does not apply to a
particular agency. Each question is followed by a line where "Yes" answers can be
documented, and several lines for comments or explanations. If more space is needed
to explain a "No" or "Not Applicable" answer, please attach additional sheets.
Explanations should be provided for all answers.
A list of the documents which can be used in answering the checklist questions is attached

Most lands within the Carlsbad city boundaries are designated by the general plan
for urban, rather than rural, uses. Carlsbad neither has, nor intends to have in the
future, a policy for the permanent preservation of major tracts of land designated as
"rural village", "rural area", etc., as does the County of San Diego. The only exceptions
are those lands which are designated for the City's open space, trail, andparks systems,
and those lands which have been and will continue to be identifed for sensitive species
protection and habitat management.
Although the city encourages the practice of agriculture on an interim basis, as urbanization and economic pressures increase, the viability of farming activity is likely to decrease. One exception to this may be the Carltas 'lflower fields" located just east
of 1-5 near PalomarAiiport Road. This property of approximately 50 acres is subject
to Williamson Act protection and is both designated and zoned for pemanent open
space because of its long-standing agricultural and community value. The City hopes
that these protective measures, together with favorable economic circumstances, will
result in flower production remaining viable for many years to come.
Please also see the responses to the questions contained in "Attachment 1 Guidelines
for Responding to the RGMS Checklist", which follows at the end of this checklist.

At the present time the onl'y mechanism available to acquire orprotect sensitive lands

the Fieldstone Habitat Conservation Plan was approved resulting in the protection
of approximately 700 acres of highly sensitive habitat lands in the Southeast Quadrant
of Carlsbad. Also, during the reporting period, the Carlsbad Highlands Conservation
Bank was established. The Conservation Bank is intended to serve as a regional multi-

260 acres of open space in the Northeast Quadrant of Carlsbad.
Carlsbad is participating in a SANDAG-sponsored effort called the NCCP Funding
Roundtable which is intended to identifi potential long-term funding for acquisition
of sensitive lands throughout the region.
59. Have coastal jurisdictions incorporated the following three objectives from the
Shoreline Preservation Strategy into their Local Coastal plans. The objectives
can be modified by each jurisdiction to reflect its participation in a cooperative,

a) Manage the region’s shoreline to provide environmental quality, recreation
and property protection.
Develop and carry out a cost-effective combination of shoreline management b) tactics that will have a positive impact on the region’s economy,
c) Develop a program to pay for the shoreline management strategy which
equitably allocates costs throughout the region, and among local, state and
federal sources.

Comment:
In 1994 the City Council approved amendments to each of the six elements of the
City’s Local Coastal Propam to incorporate the three objectives fiom the Shoreline
Protection Strategy. These amendments (LCPA 93-05) were approved by the City
Council on June 28, 1994 via City Council Resolution No. 94 - 181.
fie amendments were then submitted to the California Coastal Commission for
approval in the Fall of 1994. 7he Commission stag however, made a formal
determination on November 28 1994 that the application was incomplete because
information was not also included to show how the three objectives “would be
specifically implemented“ (letter to Planning Department from Coastal Commission
stafs). As of the current date the Commission has not acted on the application and,
therefore, the LCP amendment has not been completed.

Estimated diversion: 30%
The City of Carlsbad participates in the Regional Household Hazardous Materials
Program. The percentage diversion estimate is dependent upon informationJi.om San
Diego Environmental Health Services Division regarding the amount of household
hazardous waste that is actually diverted in Carlsbad through its regional diversion
program. This figure then has to be divided by estimates of the fraction of the total
Carlsbad waste stream that consists of household hazardous waste. This latter figure
has been estimated to be 0.04%, countywide, and is used for all jurisdictions. 17ze
formula thus is:

The Southern California Hazardous Waste Management Authority (Authority) has
the responsibility of assisting local governments in the development of intergovernmental
agreements. However, at this time, there are no intergovernmental agreements for
hazardous waste management in Southern California. Critical to the formation of
these agreements is certain informatiog including: quantifiing the prospective local
and regional hazardous waste streams, the formulation of siting criteria for waste
processing facilities, and the demarcation of ‘‘wasteshe&’ to supply these facilities.
This and other information in the Southern California Hazardous Waste Management
Plan (Regional Plan) is currently being revised to define better the waste generation
patterns of Southern Calif.rnia, and therefore the needs for facilities. Agreements
and incentive programs for siting hazardous waste facilities are being actively pursued
with the assistance of the AuthoriQ. As the revised information is made available
and as the interest increases from potential private operators of facilities, proposals
for siting facilities will likely increase, thus fostering the formation of such agreements.
ne City has adopted Ordinance No. NS 208, which established procedures for the
Management Plan, one of the countyplans upon which the Regional Plan is based.
At this time the City of Carlsbad has received no proposals for the siting of hazardous
waste management facilities. Therefore, it is appropriate for Carlsbad to check the

Village Commuter Rail Station area
The new Village Master Plan calls for focusing new ofsice, residential, and mixed use
development within the Village (and therefore near the Ellage transit station), consistent
with the land use policies of the Land Use Distribution Element (LUDE). However
the LUDE suggests intensities of use which exceed that adopted with the new plan.
The LUDE policy is that "a minimum average net density of 20 housing units per
acre is desirable': and "within a quarter mile of rail transit stations, average employment
intensities should be at least 60 workers per acre". Rerefore the LUDE is only partially
implemented in this area.
Poinsettia Commuter Rail Station
me undeveloped areas around this station are currently beingplanned via a specific
plan. Many of the LUDE land use policies are currently being included in the concept,
including a mix of residential and commercial uses, the inclusion ofpedestrian-bicycle
path linkages within the area and to surrounding areas, and a mix of housing Vpesl
prices. Howeveu, the proposed densities again are lower than that proposed by the
LUDE. me developers assert that the market will support residential densities of only
30
0 0
around 12 - 15 unitsper acre, not "a minimum average net density of 20 housing units
per acre". Again, the LUDE will be implemented only partially within this area.
McClellan-Palomar Airport Industrial Corridor
The LUDE calls for employment areas outside of transit focus areas, but nem bus
transit (like that which exists around the airport) to provide at least 45 workers per
acre. Generally, this land use policy is achieved in the industriallcommercial areas
around the airport. The LUDE also calls for incorporating residential uses within
large employment-generating areas. While this objective makes sense in many
employment areas, it is not feasible in those areas immediately surrounding most
airports because of noise and safety considerations. Noise in excess of 65 dB CNEL
exists over much of the area around McClellan-Palomar Airport, making it incompatible
with single-family development and outdoor activities in multi-family development.
In addition the airport's Runway Protection Zone and Flight Activity Zone overlie
much of the surrounding area. According to the recently-prepared, state-required
Comprehensive Land Use Plan(CLUP) for the airport these areas "should be held
free of intensive development (for example, more than ten units per acre). , , and all
uses which invdve the assembly of large groups of people (more than >OO)."
Consequently, where these conditions exist, the land has been designated for, and is
being developed with, non-residential land uses - and without residential uses.
Nevertheless, just outside the impact areas, the City has completed construction of
Ella Loma, a 344-unit apartment project that will house 241 very low-income
households and 103 lower-income households within walking distance of much of
the area. The Laurel Tree Apartments, which will house 138 lower-income householh,
has recently been approved along Palomar Airport Road, within walking distance of
some of the businesses within the industrial cowidor.

Plans as a precondition of any development. The Growth Management Plan
is an integral part of the General Plan and the City% Municipal Code and predates
