MTG. 8/8/00‘ REPEAL ORDINANCE ALLOWING DOGS AT
DEPT. Recreation DESIGNATED PARK SITES CITY MGRW
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Introduce Ordinance No. tis* S’s 7 which amends Title1 1 Chapter 11.32.030 Parks and
Beaches prohibiting dogs in Carlsbad parks with the exception of any parks or portion of a park
specifically designated for dog use by the City Council.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On January 11,2000, the City Council recommended approval (4-l) to develop a temporary
enclosed dog park at the upper area of Larwin Park. Council directed staff to refer the matter to
the Planning Department for processing of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and environmental
review, and to return with amendments to Chapter 11.32.030 (11) and (23) of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code to allow dogs within that specific site.
With the need to incorporate the appropriate changes in Chapter 11.32 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code, staff is recommending the following changes to the Ordinance:
l In Section 11.32.030 (11) dogs are not allowed in Carlsbad’s parks or on Carlsbad
beaches. This prohibition does not apply to a dog accompanying an unsighted person,
dogs while assisting peace officers in law enforcement duties, or to dogs participating in
shows or obedience classes authorized by the Community Services Department on
specific areas of parks or beaches. Staff recommends the inclusion to exclude dog parks
or other areas specifically designated for dog use into this section of the ordinance.
l The only change to Section 11.32.030 (19) is to delete the name of San Diego Gas and
Electric Company and replace it with the “Owners of the outer Lagoon”.
l Section 11.32.030 (23) is recommended to provide an exception from prohibiting dogs in
Carlsbad parks or portion of a park specifically designated for dog use.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no fiscal impact by the revision made to this ordinance.
