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 2003 - 2004 is the fifth annual report to be prepared by the City in response to
Government Code Section 65400, and satisfies the requirement for information on the status and

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

report requirement. Taken together, this report and the 200312004 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 2003 - 2004. 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

INTRODU CTl ON
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 2003 - 2004. 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
Affer the legislative body has adopted all or part of a general plan, the
planning agency shall do both of the following:

(c) of Section 65583.
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 in meeting
the City’s share of regional housing needs. The 2003/2004 Housing Production
Report satisfies the annual housing needs report requirement. Taken together, this
report and the 2003/2004 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 2003-2004. This information is provided
in two forms, which consist of: 1) answers to a questionnaire; and 2) a table that lists
each General Plan program and its status.
i
General Plan Implementation Status Report for FY 2003-2004
Introduction
The purpose of the questionnaire (Part I) was to highlight major work that had been
conducted during FY 2003-2004 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:
I. Highlight the major worWprogress in your depattment/division during fiscal
year 2003-2004 (July I, 2003 through June 30, 2004) that was derived from
goals and objectives of the General Plan.
2. Highlight major worWprogress in your departmenVdivision anticipated to be
done during this fiscal year (2004-2005) 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 departmenf’s/division’s needs and
the needs of the community?
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. The table reflects
the implementation status of each program along with any additional comments. The
implementation status is referenced as follows:
(C) “Completed” = One-time project for which all work has been completed
( 0) “0 n g o i n g ” = 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:

C. QUESTION 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?
Department Response:
Housing and Redevelopment
1. Amend Land Use Element, Village Program C.2, to reflect that the
Redevelopment Plan has been adopted, but the Land Use Plan for the Barrio
has not.
Planning
2, Much statistical information in the General Plan is out of date and should
be updated. For example, all references to population and housing data from
the 1990 Census should be updated to reflect data from the 2000 Census.
Much of the land use inventory is also out of date.
3. In addition, there are several General Plan Programs that should be
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.
4. As a result of the pending Regional Comprehensive Plan, some changes will
likely be needed to the Land Use Element and Circulation Element to: I)
reflect the relationship between the General Plan and Regional
Comprehensive Plan, and 2) consider certain policy changedadditions to the
General Plan.
D. QUESTION4
How can the General Plan better meet your departmentWdivision’s needs and
the needs of the community?
Department Response:
Parks and Recreation
1. Continue to update the various elements to reflect what is currently
happening with respect to the operations of the City (i.e. constant review and
updating ).

Planning
2. 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.
