Subsequent to the preparation of Council Resolution No. 2006-129, which is scheduled for adoption by the City Council on Tuesday, May 16, 2006, another committee member, Katie Butler, declined the Mayor's appointment. Lara Means Pope has indicated a willingness to serve on the committee replacing Katie Butler. .^ Mayor and City Council Members and the entire Carlsbad Community. For the Record: The Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad hereby demands that all citizens committee meetings cease and a completely new citizens committee be Established for the reasons as follows: 1. Nearly half of applications were received many days after the voting members had already been assigned per the last city council meeting on May 2, 2006. Also, the council members had already chosen most of the members Therefore, an Equal Opportunity was never established for all citizens of Carlsbad. Also, it did not give those who had turned in their applications prior to May 2, 2006 an equal opportunity to be chosen for the citizens committee. The Concerned Citizens spokesman had addressed this issue by stating that a lottery type format be used in order to give an Equal Opportunity to all citizens of the community. 2. The application form stated that there were three requirements in order to be appointed to the committee, which are (a) United States Citizenship (b) Resident of Carlsbad (c) Registered Voter in Carlsbad This was for the purpose of establishing a Carlsbad Citizen based committee. Some of the applicants made false and/or misleading marks on their Applications. State examples: Most important: The City officials did not checked for validity and to verify if all of the above requirements were met before choosing the committee members. The facts have been made known to all of the council members and Citizens of the Carlsbad Community. The Mayor and the City Council have already voted to create a citizens committee at a city expense of 100 thousand dollars. The committee, by its true definition, is an agency consisting of over 25 people, city staff and private sector consulting firms for the purpose of studying the two complete initiatives and an unfinished city based initiative. Therefore, we desire to see the fabrication of a balanced citizen based committee for the purpose of representing our community. If we do not see the appropriate action taken according to the equal opportunity act, then we will be left with no other alternative but to seek legal council. On behave of Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad, Ronald Alvarez CCC Board Member S-tb-ob Flower Fields And Strawberry Fields Area Committee Membership (Note) All Committee members listed were read aloud during the City Council meeting on( May 2nd ). Each City Council member personally read their 5 choices. 1 . According to Mayor Lewis, Committee Members were to be selected and interviewed based on their interest in being on the committee and by submitting a formal application provided by the City. 2. All of the applicants were required to submit an application and based on the applications submittaL, interviews were to be conducted by the 5 council members of all interested citizens. This would mean that all applications had to be received prior to the May 2nd council meeting. (Note) 10 of the 25 applications received are dated May 3rd to May 9th after the council members publicly read their choices. (Conclusion ) how could these 10 committee members have been selected if their applications were not turned in until after the selection process had been completed and their names read aloud at the City Council meeting on May 2nd?? 3. Based on this evidence it is our belief that there was no random subjective selection and that the Council Members Pre selected people they personally knew, which brings us to the feel that the Citizens Committee is not only Bias and one sided but the Citizens Committee will serve the best interest of the City Council, has no true reflection of Citizens. Our belief is that the Committee selection process was Bias, prejudice and reeks of inequality. 4. My Application ( Michael Bovenzi) was submitted on April 27th and my interview with the Mayor was scheduled for Monday May 1st at 10:45am. Mayor Lewis specifically told me during my interview that he was the only Council Member that had not finished the selection process and that the Other 4 City Council Members had already finished the selection process by Selecting 5 Citizen Committee members each. 5. Now if My Interview (Michael Bovenzi) was Monday morning May 1st at 10:45 and all of the other council members had already selected 5 committee members, how could Council Member Ann Kulchin already have selected Citizens Committee Member Gina Mcbride who didn't turn in her application in until that Monday May 1 st. ( Not Possible ) 6. Not only do we have 10 Members who were selected for the Citizens Committee who's application Date is After the Committee Members had been announced, but Gina Mcbride Selected by Council Member Ann Kulchin according to the Mayors comments to me would be 1 1 . This Means 1 1 of the 25 Members Selected never submitted an application prior to being selected. How?? This proves the committee is fixed (Bias).

I desire to contribute to the continued responsible, responsive and reasonable development of Carlsbad, an outstanding city and my home. As a retired State Department/USAID diplomat, a former Peace Corps volunteer and member of several local organizations, I am strongly committed to public and community service. In many past program and project challenges (including recently with ExxonMobil), land use, public policy, economic, environmental, social and other concerns collided ~ and required balanced resolution. Such steadiness is essential from Committee members as alternatives are researched, discussions transpire and recommendations formulated. I know development planning, government processes and obligations, and private sector motivations, all first hand. My experiences highlight success with persons of divergent opinions, backgrounds and skills. In sum, I possess an ability to analyze and address Carlsbad's complex, controversial land utilization issue in a dispassionate, reasoned and effective manner. I would bring abundant time, unique development and land use expertise, and sustained, objective dedication to the duties of the Strawberries and Flowers Fields Committee.

Lewis, In regards to your May 4. 2006 initial invitation letter which was addressed to Mr. Goldstein. Allow me to inform you that he is one of the many concerned citizens in the city and not a member of the Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad's Political Action Committee. The CCC Political Action Committee elected spokesperson is Ronald Alvarez. We would appreciate any future correspondence be directed to CCC (PAC) Spokesperson. Please make a note of this for your records. Now, in regards to your invitation to your citizens committee, on April 25,2006 at the city council meeting, the Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad spokesperson (Ronald Alvarez) stated that CCC would not be a part of the Carlsbad City Council fabricated committee for general reasons, such as: 1. We believe that City of Carlsbad has no true bases to fabricate a citizens committee for the purpose of analyzing citizens based initiatives compared city based initiatives. 2. We believe that the cost associated with this committee is a waste of Tax Payer Funds. 3. We believe that city has formulated a bias committee with some of the initial stake holders of the eleven confidential developmental meetings for the subject areas. 4. The City based initiative is not completed in order for any committee to fairly study all three initiatives equally. 5. The CCUPP group does not have the required signatures in order to qualify for the November 2006 ballot 6. We also believe that the CCUPP initiative will not obtain the required signatures and support from the community for a November 2006 ballot. Page 1 of 2 7. We believe that the future resolutions from this committee will be to recommend the Strawberry and Flower-Growing Field areas be developed. Also, the areas that are not developable will be assigned as parks and agriculture / Open Space. Therefore, for the reasons listed, the Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad will not be a part of this committee. Sincerely, Ronald Alvarez CCC Committee Board Member Page 2 of2 9. AGRICULTURE . The Citizen* Committee believes that it is necessary for > the city to take a more active posture in attempting to preserve agricultural uses in the city. The Committee i« recommending goals and policies to help prevent the premature elimination of agriculture and to attempt to preserve land for agricultural use when it is determined to be feasible* In order to accomplish this, the Committee recommends that the city* & A) Support and utilize all measures available to reduce the financial burdens on agricultural land; B) Develop measures to ensure the compatibility of agriculture with adjacent non-agricultural uses; C) Permit agricultural land uses throughout the city; D) Conserve the largest possible amount of suitable,, undeveloped land for agricultural uses with the willing *= compliance of affected parties; E) Participate with neighboring cities and communities in preserving agricultural resources along mutual boundaries; and F) Finally, consider the acquisition of lands or property rights for permanent agricultural uses through methods such aa trusts, foundations and city-wide assessment districts. / The Committee recommends that specific consideration be given to the flower fields or lands east of 1-5 to the first ridgeline between Cannon Road and Paloroar Airport Road. The city should attempt to preserve this agricultural area through whatever method created and most advantageous to the city. Minority Opinion - There was a minority opinion on the Committee that the above recommended measures were not going far enough in preserving agriculture in the city. The minority believed that the city should take a much more active, initiating-type role in preserving agriculture as a permanent use even if it requires public acquisition. The minority also believed that the lands in the city most suitable for agricultural purposes (i.e, along Palomar Airport Road} should be so designated in the Land Use Element. ***** 10. PARKS The Citizens Committee supports the city's community park concept and program, however, the Committee also believes 12 Committee Leaders ( fact) There are two people in charge of running the new citizens committee A. Sandra Holder B. Michael Holsmiller Sandra holder) who is the community development director in Carlsbad has a lot of power in fact she is even the boss of the Planning director. Sandra Holder was involved in the secret meetings with Lennar and stated in the attached E mail that the city was not involved. 3 months later when questioned by a reporter form the coast news, she admitted it. Since she was involved in the secret meetings and has every intention in Developing the areas if question and her leadership role is tainted. Since she is Bias she should not be running the citizens committee. Michael Holsmiller) as former planning director and employee of Sandra Holder is working along with Holder to run this committee. As planning director, he never performed the required annual reports regarding build out as required per the Growth management plan and in fact in the 10 year anniversary report to the city council he specifically recommends no Major changes, however Rezoning this beautiful open space is a major change and they should not even be thinking about doing any development. It's highly likely that Michael was also involved in the secret meetings to redevelop this beautiful open space. Please see attachments form the anniversary report.

INTRODUCTION Ten years ago, the City of Carlsbad enacted its Growth Management Plan. The Growth Management Plan changed the way the City operated with respect to physical growth and the approval and implementation of public and private development projects. The Plan requires that public facilities and services be provided concurrently with new growth and development according to adopted facility and service performance standards. Unless these performance standards are met, no new growth and development can occur. The Plan also established a limitation on the maximum number of future residential dwelling units that could be built in the City; both Citywide and by quadrant of the CKy. The Growth Management Plan as well as the dwelling unit limitation was voted on and ratified by the citizens of Carlsbad in the election of November 1986. The Plan cannot be deleted or the dwelling unit limitation exceeded without a subsequent vote of the citizens. Much has been accomplished as a result of the Growth Management Plan. Citizens and decision makers rely on it to ensure that growth in the City is well managed. Applicants and developers know that they must comply with the Plan in order to have their projects approved. The Plan has received considerable recognition and has won numerous awards for its approach to managing growth, including a national award for innovation from Rutgers University, a statewide award of excellence from the League of California Cities, a San Diego County regional "orchid" award for comprehensive planning and several American Planning Association awards. A recent editorial in the North County Times referenced the Growth Management Plan as "arguably the most significant accomplishment in Carlsbad in the past 10 years." The primary purpose of this 10 year anniversary report is to summarize and to celebrate the accomplishments which have resulted directly or indirectly from the implementation of the Growth Management Plan. Much has been accomplished in terms of providing for adequate public facility and services, in the way facilities and services are financed and in the overall way planning for future growth and development is done. A secondary purpose of the report is to determine whether any minor refinements to the implementation of the Plan should be enacted based on ten years of experience with the Plan. Staff is recommending some minor implementation refinements, however based on the City's decade of experience with the Plan, staff believes that it is / completely accomplishing what it was intended to do and that no major refinements or y implementation changes are necessary or desirable. Finally, this report concludes with a discussion of the Dwelling Unit Limitation portion of the Growth Management Plan. B. CHRONOLOGY OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The origins of Growth Management in Carlsbad go back to the mid 1970s. At that time, the City's General Plan contained a Public Facilities Element which generally called for 2. Projects proposing a zone change from non-residential to residential based upon the following findings: a. The property was zoned for other than residential use on July 1986. b. The property is compatible for residential use without significant mitigation. c. The density of the project does not exceed the Growth Management Control Point of any adjacent residential property." 3. Infill multi-family projects that meet all development standards and where the resulting density does not exceed adjacent, existing multi-family projects. Application of the priority levels should be based on the total number of excess units available in a quadrant The purpose of having three priority levels Is to address the issue of, having only a minimal number of excess units available in a quadrant at any one particular point in time. If there ere only a minimal number of excess units available in a quadrant, then the units should only be used for a First Priority project Conversely, if there are a substantial number of excess units available in the quadrant, allocation to a Second or Third Priority project Is acceptable. Regarding the use of excess dwelling units for affordable housing, the Intent of this policy is to work in conjunction with and to aid In implementing the programs of the Housing Element including the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and the Density Bonus Ordinance. If a substantial allocation of excess dwelling units are being requested for affordable housing, the project should then, however, exceed the basic numerical requirements of these ordinances regarding the provision for lower income units. F. SUMMARY Based on ten years of experience with the Growth Management Plan, staff believes that it is working well and has accomplished what it was intended to do. Much has been achieved in terms of providing for adequate public facilities and services, in the way facilities and services are financed and in the overall way planning for future growth and development is done. Although no major revisions to the Plan are recommended, staff is proposing some minor refinements/updates and appropriate resolutions and ordinance amendments have been prepared to effectuate these minor changes as follows: 1. Proposed amendments to the Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) to make some technical changes and general 17 V9 C9 C/3 ^ ° !U GL S5 ft o s 7,<D 3 G "S 2f e ^ •§ U co^ c* S CD CO cu C <u-5 aSre o C ^ - op 'S July 15,2005 Mr. Ronald Alvarez Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad Alvarez9290@sbcglobal.net Dear Mr. Alvarez: Your e-mail of July 7, 2005 to the Carlsbad Mayor and City Council was forwarded to my office for a response. The two parcels that you mention in your e-mail are both owned by the Carltas Company. Last year, Carltas put both of these parcels on the market and posted the properties with "for sale" signs. It is my understanding that the Lennar Corporation has entered into an option agreement with the Carltas Company for both of these parcels. I have not seen and do not know the terms of this agreement. For further information regarding Lennar's intended use of these properties, I would suggest that you contact them directly. Larry Clemens, President, can be reached at 760-918-7765 until July 25th, after which his phone number will change to 619-236-3105. The two properties are part of the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan, Planning Areas 8a and 8b, which designates these properties as "golf course". The Specific Plan lists permitted land uses as both agriculture and non-agricultural uses, such as a golf course and other public uses. There is no application on file with the City of Carlsbad at this time to change any of the land use or zoning on this property. The Carlsbad Mayor and City Council members have not met with, negotiated with, nor discussed Lennar's intentions to develop this property. For the past year, the City staff has been working on an overall vision for the area we call "Centre City Gateway" - an area roughly extending from the south side of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon to Palomar Airport Road, and from the Pacific Ocean to El Camino Real. This goal was established by the City Council at their annual goal-setting workshop last January. City staff has been developing a "sustainability" model for this area that would incorporate all of the recognized factors of sustainability - environmental, social, and economic. The City is also desirous of creating an opportunity for a "civic village" somewhere in this area for the long-term possibility to create a significant community/civic campus and gathering place. This area provides an opportunity to connect the northern and southern portions of the community and to provide for the creation of a great public place where people in the community could connect with each other for many genefafionsToTome. We hope that your organization, Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad, will work with us to create a significant, sustainable public place. If you need to reach me, my phone number is 760-602-2710. ~~~~ Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Sandra L. Holder Community Development Director Cc: City Manager Mayor and City Council Possible Legal Issues 1. ( Standards Practice Act) which is both state and federal Law that is binding and that the city needs to follow with the possible formation of a Committee 2. The fact that the City is using Tax payer money to form a citizens committee to promote the city council agenda and persuade the voters in Carlsbad to vote for the City backed initiative based on the findings of the Citizens committee which was formed without equal opportunity, it's biad and the selection process was prejudice.
