Subject: Request for City Council Calendar Item
Carlsbad Smart Growth Concept Map Sites
Dear Mr. Patchett :
I am a long term resident of Carlsbad who cares about preserving what is special about
our city.
I therefor request that an "action item" be placed on the City Council agenda as soon as
possible to review and approve the recommended smart growth sites for the city of
Carlsbad as shown on the SANDAG "Smart Growth Concept Map."
A council member at a recent SANDAG meeting made several statements on behalf of
the city regarding Smart Growth sites. I believe the decision about where growth will be
allowed in excess of the approved General Plan should be a decision by the full council,
after public review and comment. Residents should know where each member of the
City Council stands on these sites, and that all of the sites on the final map have been
approved by a majority of the elected officials of our city.
This is particularly important because there were no smart growth public workshops held
in the city of Carlsbad. At the SANDAG presentation of the smart growth program to the
city council, council members requested such a local workshop. Although a workshop
had been planned for Carlsbad, it was relocated to Oceanside, greatly reducing the
participation by Carlsbad residents.
My request creates a real opportunity for the residents of Carlsbad to understand what
"smart growth" is proposed for our city. It also is responsive to at least 5 of the top 15
City Priorities for 2006: Communication with residents, implementing a consistent vision
for the south Carlsbad beachfront area known as Ponto, developing a planning vision for
Westfield Mall, Habitat management and open space, and regional issues.
It is my understanding that it is City policy that all resident requests to place items before
the Council are approved, and that you will let me know the date this item will be
calendared. I request 10 days advance notice of this item.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this.
Sincerely,
•tij iMts>
