RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council ACCEPT and FILE the report. Information only.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
This is a report to provide information on the status of the City of Carlsbad General Plan and the
progress the City has made in its implementation during Fiscal Year 2001 - 2002.
Background
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that all California cities and counties:
(b) (7) Provide an annual report to the legislative body, the Office of Planning and
Research, and the Department of Housing and Community Development on the
status of the plan and progress in its implementation, including the progress in
meeting its share of regional housing needs determined pursuant to Section 65584
and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance,
improvement, and development of housing pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision
(c) of Section 65583.
This report for FY 2001 - 2002 is the third annual report to be prepared by the City in response to
amended Government Code Section 65400, and satisfies the requirement for information on the
status and progress in implementing the General Plan.
The Planning and Housing and Redevelopment Departments have also prepared an annual report
that includes the regional share housing information, which satisfies the State requirement that the
annual report address the progress of the City in meeting its share of regional housing needs. The
2001/2002 Housing Production Report has been prepared concurrently with this report.
Report Contents
The focus of this report is on the status of the City of Carlsbad General Plan and the progress in its
implementation. This report does not include the progress of the City in meeting its share of regional
housing needs. The 2001/2002 Housing Production Report satisfies the annual housing needs
report requirement. Taken together, this report and the 2001/2002 Housing Production Report meet
the requirements of Government Code Section 65400.
To determine the status of the General Plan and the City’s progress in its implementation, each
department reviewed the General Plan programs for which they have responsibility in implementing.
The departments then provided information on the status of the implementation of each program
during FY 2001 - 2002. This information is provided in the attached report, and is divided into two
parts consisting of 1) answers to a questionnaire; and 2) a table that lists each General Plan
program and its status.
The purpose of the questionnaire is to highlight major work that had been conducted during FY 2001 - 2002 that implemented the goals and objectives of the General Plan, and to determine what
changes might be necessary to better meet the needs of the City.
PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. 16,945
The second form of information is a table that lists each of the over 500 programs contained within
the nine elements of the General Plan. After each department reviewed the programs for which they
have responsibility in implementing, the implementation status of each program was indicated in the
table along with any additional comments.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
This report is categorically exempt from environmental review as per CEQA Guidelines Section
15306, which states that information collection activities are exempt from the provisions of CEQA.

INTRODUCTION
This is a report on the status of the City of Carlsbad General Plan and the progress
the City has made in its implementation during Fiscal Year 2001 - 2002. It has been
prepared in response to the requirements of California Government Code Section
65400, which reads in part as follows:
65400. Implementation of plan
After the legislative body has adopted all or part of a general plan, the
planning agency shall do both of the following:
(a) Investigate and make recommendations to the legislative body
regarding reasonable and practical means for implementing the general
plan or element of the general plan, so that it will serve as an effective
guide for orderly growth and development.. .
(b) (1) Provide an annual report to the legislative body, the Office of
Planning and Research, and the Department of Housing and
Community Development on the status of the plan and progress in its
implementation, including the progress in meeting its share of regional
housing needs determined pursuant to Section 65584 and local efforts
to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement,
and development of housing pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision
(c) of Section 65583.
Background
Prior to 1999 Government Code Section 65400 required that the annual report be
presented only to the legislative body (City Council). However, in 1999 State law
was amended to require that the annual report also be provided to the Office of
Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). This report for FY 2001 - 2002 is the third annual report to be
prepared by the City in response to amended Government Code Section 65400.
For many years the Planning and Housing and Redevelopment Departments have
prepared an annual report that includes the required regional share housing
information, which satisfies the State requirement that the annual report address the
progress of the City in meeting its share of regional housing needs. The
2001/2002Housing Production Report has been prepared concurrently with this
report.

General Plan Implementation Status Report for FY 2001-2002
Introduction
Report satisfies the annual housing needs report requirement. Taken together, this
report and the 2001/2002 Housing Production Report meet the requirements of
Government Code Section 65400.
In addition to meeting the State requirements, a second objective of this report is to
provide information that will be useful to the City Council, City Manager, and those
departments with responsibilities for implementing the General Plan.
There are over 500 programs contained in the General Plan, which are intended to
implement the General Plan’s goals, objectives and policies. To determine the
status of the General Plan and the City’s progress in its implementation, each
department reviewed the General Plan programs for which they have responsibility
in implementing. The departments then provided information on the status of the
implementation of each program during FY 2001-2002. This information is provided
in two forms, which consist of: 1) Part I - answers to a questionnaire; and 2) Part II -
a table that lists each General Plan program and its status.
The purpose of the questionnaire (Part I) was to highlight major work that had been
conducted during FY 2001-2002 that implemented the goals and objectives of the
General Plan, and to determine what changes might be necessary to better meet the
needs of the City. The questionnaire consisted of four questions as follows:
1. Highlight the major worWprogress in your departmentkiivision during fiscal
year 2001 -2002 (July 1 , 200 1 through June 30, 2002) that was derived from
goals and objectives of the General Plan.
2. Highlight major worWprogress in your departmentklivision anticipated to be
done during this fiscal year (2002-2003) that is derived from the goals and
objectives of the General Plan.
3. Do you have any recommended changes to the General Plan, such as
additional programs or modifications to existing programs to help implement
the goals and objectives of the Plan?
4. How can the General Plan better meet your departmentWdivision3 needs and
the needs of the community?
It is staff’s intent to analyze each department’s response to the questionnaire, in
particular, any recommended changes that would better meet the needs of the City
and help implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan. After review and
analysis of the recommended changes, staff will initialize amendments to the
General Pian as necessary.

General Plan Implementation Status Report for FY 2001-2002
Introduction
The second form of information (Part II) is a table that lists each of the over 500
programs contained within the nine elements of the General Plan. After each
department reviewed the programs for which they have responsibility in
implementing, the implementation status of each program was indicated in the table
along with any additional comments. The implementation status of each program is
referenced as follows:
(C) “Completed” = One-time project for which all work has been completed
(0) “Ongoing” = Completed program but one that requires recurring activity
(I) “In Progress” = Staff work is well under way and program will be implemented
soon (including any necessary hearings)
(P) “Pending” = Program for which preliminary work needs to be initiated, or
program is in early stages of work
(D) “Delete” = Program that may no longer be necessary or relevant due to
another program, changed circumstances, or policy change
Staff Effort
Many staff members assisted with the review and assimilation of information for the
preparation of this report. Each department assigned a liaison to review and
comment on the status of the General Plan programs. The following is a list of the
department liaisons whose effort is reflected in this report:
Keith Beverly and Sheila Cobian (Parks and Recreation)

updated to reflect current information or should be deleted. Some
Programs reference documents or information that is no longer relevant or
valid. For example, the Open Space and Conservation Element referenced
the “Open Space Advisory Committee”, which no longer exists.
9. Consider adding a program in the Circulation Element to incorporate “transit
first” concepts and coordination with NCTD.

General Plan Implementation Status Report for FY 2001 - 2002
Department Highlights and Comments
10. The Habitat Management Plan may result in a need to amend the Land Use
Element, Open Space Element and possibly other elements of the General
Plan.
11. As a result of the General PlanEoning Consistency Program, necessary
amendments to the General Plan may be identified and prepared for Planning
Commission and City Council review.
D. QUESTION 4
How can the General Plan better meet your department’s/division’s needs and
the needs of the community?
Department Response:
1. The General Plan provides appropriate directives to the Arts Office in the
Arts Element. The mission of our division is to implement the General Plan,
which “recognizes that an aesthetic environment is an essential characteristic
of a community which values its quality of life ...”
Parks and Recreation
2. Review and update the document as appropriate. Solicit public review and
comments during those periods of review.
Planning
3. Consider revising, or doing a thorough review of, the format of the General
Plan to ensure that the Programs implement the Goals, Objectives and
Policies that they are associated with. The General Plan programs should
specify tasks or actions the City plans to take in order to achieve certain goals
and objectives. It may be helpful if the Programs specified which
departments/divisions have the lead responsibilty for their implementation and
clarified how the specific tasks or actions were to be achieved, as is done
currently with the Programs in the Housing Element.
4. Consider amending the Land Use Map and/or Zoning Map to identify which
properties are subject to a Master Plan or Specific Plan. There is no readily
available resource for the public or staff to use to identify what properties are
affected by Master Plans and Specific Plans. It would be very useful to be able
to clearly identify those properties when answering questions at the public
counter or when researching what development standards apply to specific
properties.
