CITY MGR. £LA —
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. 2008-206 . APPROVING staff recommendations to
initiate the process to form the Envision Carlsbad Citizen's Committee (EC3) for the community
visioning process and the update to the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and Zoning Ordinance.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On January 22, 2008, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2008-018, approving a consulting
agreement with Dyett & Bhatia to complete Phase 1 (community visioning phase) of a comprehensive
update to the City's General Plan, Local Coastal Program (LCP), and Zoning Ordinance. Part of the
Phase 1 scope of work includes the formation of a citizen's committee, which will be titled the
"Envision Carlsbad Citizens Committee" (EC3).
Input from the EC3 will be beneficial during the community visioning process (Phase 1), as well as
during the process to update the General Plan, LCP, and Zoning Ordinance (Phase 2). The EC3 will
promote balanced consideration of a range of community perspectives, serve as an information
conduit to stakeholder groups, encourage broader community participation, and provide continuity of
participation throughout the entire update process. The proposed purpose of the EC3 is described in
more detail in Exhibit 4, which is a charter for the EC3 that specifies the committee's mission and
principles of participation.
To provide a balanced representation of community perspectives, staff recommends that committee
members be selected from organizations that represent the three primary topic areas that will affect
the future of Carlsbad; those primary topic areas are: 1) environment; 2) social; and 3) economic.
Forming a committee that represents the environmental, social, and economic factors of the
community's future is consistent with, and will further help to implement, the City's "Guiding Principles
for a Sustainable Community" (adopted by the City Council per Resolution No. 2007-187 on July 17,
2007), which includes principles to achieve a long-term balance between environmental, social, and
economic needs in the community, and to encourage the participation of Carlsbad's citizens in
achieving that balance. Staff has prepared a draft list of organizations that could potentially be
represented on the EC3 (Exhibit 3).
Staff further recommends that the EC3 include citizens that represent each of the four city quadrants,
as well as two student members, one from each of the city's high schools. This will further ensure that
the EC3 represents the broad range of community perspectives.
Staff recommends that the EC3 consist of 19 committee members (and 19 alternates - one alternate
to be appointed for each committee member), as follows:

3 members from organizations representing the social perspective
3 members from organizations representing the economic perspective

1 student member from La Costa Canyon High School
Following the City Council's adoption of the attached resolution, staff will initiate the EC3 formation
process, as described in Exhibit 2, or as otherwise directed by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The formation of a citizens committee is consistent with the scope of work identified in the consultant
contract for Phase 1 (community visioning process) of the General Plan, LCP, and Zoning Ordinance
Update, which was approved by the City Council in January 2008. The City Council approved total
cost for consulting services to complete Phase 1 is $232,710. Overall, the community visioning
process (Phase 1) and update to the General Plan, LCP, and Zoning Ordinance (Phase 2) is
estimated to cost up to $1.8 million. The funds are encumbered and available. No additional costs
are associated with this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. Pursuant to CEQA Section
15061(b)(3), a project is exempt from CEQA if:
(3) The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which
have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may
have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is exempt from CEQA.
It can be seen with certainty that the activities associated with the Community Visioning Program for
Phase 1 of the update program (community visioning/outreach, formation and activities of a citizens
committee, analysis, research, and development of a final scope of work) will not involve or result in a
significant effect on the environment, and is therefore exempt from CEQA.

Exhibit 2
Staff Recommendation for the
Envision Carlsbad Citizens Committee (EC3)
Formation Process
To form the EC3, staff recommends the following process:
1. Letters will be mailed to each organization on the attached draft list (Exhibit 3), requesting
that the organization submit an application (enclosed with the letter) nominating one of the
organization's members to be appointed to the EC3, as well as nominating an alternate
member. Nominees must be current Carlsbad residents.
2. An ad will be placed in the newspaper, requesting interested organizations to nominate a
member (and alternate) for the EC3. The list of organizations in Exhibit 3 is not an
exhaustive list of organizations that represent the environmental, social, and economic
interests of the community; therefore, staff recommends posting the ad in order to avoid
inadvertently excluding any particular organization.
3. Letters will be mailed to Carlsbad High School and La Costa Canyon High School requesting
them to submit a form (including parent authorization) specifying the student they
recommend be appointed to the EC3, as well as an alternate student member.
4. The organizations will be given approximately 3 weeks to submit applications nominating a
member for the EC3. Since school is out of session, appointment of the student members
will take place in the Fall.
5. An agenda bill will be brought to the City Council requesting their vote to appoint the
members of the committee.
6. With regard to the selection process, staff recommends the following:
a. Committee members from organizations that represent the environment, social, and
economic perspectives
The Mayor and City Council members review and consider each application received;
then the Mayor, with the concurrence of a majority of the City Council, appoints 3
committee members (and their alternates) to represent each perspective (9 committee
members total, plus 9 alternates).
b. Committee members from each of the four city quadrants
The Mayor assigns each City Council member to a city quadrant and directs them to
select 2 citizens (plus 2 alternates) from that quadrant to be a member of the EC3 (8
committee members total, plus 8 alternates).
c. Student committee members
The Mayor and City Council members accept and appoint the student members
recommended by Carlsbad High School and La Costa Canyon High School.

Envision Carlsbad Citizens Committee EC3
Mission Statement and Principles of Participation
Mission Statement
The mission of the Envision Carlsbad Citizens Committee (EC3) is to participate in and
provide guidance to the Phase 1 Community Visioning process and to the Phase 2
General Plan/Local Coastal Program (LCP)/Zoning Ordinance update work, by
promoting balanced consideration of a range of perspectives on issues affecting Carlsbad,
serving as an information conduit to stakeholder groups, encouraging broader community
participation, and providing continuity of participation throughout the entire public
visioning and update process.
Principles of Participation
Role of Envision Carlsbad Citizens Committee Members
To achieve the mission of the EC3, the City Council is asking members to:
• Become familiar with the issues surrounding city planning and community
development
• Attend periodic meetings over a prolonged period of time (approximately 3 years)
• Represent a broader community interest (rather than just the particular
organization of which they are a member) at EC meetings
• Keep their organization/stakeholder group informed of the progress of the public
visioning and update program
• Balance stakeholder goals with the larger public interest
• Encourage community participation throughout the public visioning and update
process
• Adhere to the public visioning and update program schedule and respond to
established deadlines
• Work collaboratively with other EC3 members
• Provide constructive feedback to City staff and consultants on process and works
in progress at key points during the update program
• Confirm that the final Community Vision Report accurately and fairly reflects the
community input received during the Public Visioning (Phase 1) process.
• Provide comment as to the adequacy of the Phase 2 Work Plan that will be
presented to the City Council for approval
Representation
Committee members will be appointed by the Mayor with concurrence of a majority of
the City Council from among a list of candidates nominated by individual organizations,
representing a balanced cross-section of stakeholder groups and community interests.
Selection of the EC3 will be guided by the City Council's "Guiding Principles for a
Sustainable Community", whereby membership will be drawn from Social, Economic
and Environmental perspectives. Members will also be selected to represent each of the
four city quadrants. In addition, the Committee will have two student members selected
from the local high schools.
The committee will be composed of a total of 19 members: three each from the
sustainability perspectives (9), two from each city quadrant (8), and a student member
each from Carlsbad and La Costa Canyon High Schools (2). To be considered for
appointment, candidates must reside in Carlsbad. Nominated candidates will be
evaluated on their ability to effectively represent one of the three key perspectives, city
quadrant, or youth perspectives. In addition, each committee member will have an
alternate appointed by the Mayor with concurrence of a majority of City Council from
among the list of nominated candidates.
Discussion Process
During EC3 meetings, committee members agree to abide by the following discussion
process:
• The committee will establish ground rules about how members should conduct
themselves during meetings
• The preferred decision-making process is collaborative problem-solving
• Consensus of the EC3 will take precedence over individual preferences
• In cases of non-consensus, alternative perspectives will be documented
• A neutral third-party will facilitate the meetings
• The committee will consider the selection of a Chair and Vice-Chair
Meeting Schedule
Once appointed, EC3 members are making an approximately three year commitment. To
date, the meeting schedule is outlined only for the first phase of the overall General Plan
update program. The EC3 will be formed in the Summer of 2008 and will have its first
meeting in the Fall. At least three additional EC3 meetings are anticipated in Phase 1,
which will conclude by Summer 2009. Phase 2 of the update process (updating the
General Plan/Local Coastal Program/Zoning Ordinance to achieve the Community
Vision) will begin following the completion of Phase 1 and is expected to last
approximately 2 to 3 years, with potentially 20 to 25 meetings.
Meeting Attendance
Full participation of committee members is essential to the effectiveness of the EC3.
Committee members are expected to attend all EC meetings. If a committee member is
unable to attend a meeting, the designated alternate may attend in his or her place. The
alternate is encouraged to actively participate in the meeting provided that he or she is
adequately briefed as to the status of prior discussions and decisions.
Quorum. For meeting purposes, a quorum of the EC3 is met with ten members in
attendance.
If a committee member resigns his or her appointment, his or her designated alternate
shall automatically become a regular committee member for the duration of the program.
Vacancies may be filled at the Mayor's discretion.
All EC" meetings and committee members are subject to the open meeting requirements
of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act). The Brown Act imposes public notice and
access requirements on committee meetings, and places certain limitations on when and
how committee members may communicate with one another. At the first EC3 meeting,
committee members will be given a briefing by the City Attorney's office about the basic
requirements of the Brown Act.
In addition to meeting as a committee approximately four times during Phase 1,
committee members will be expected to be engaged throughout the Community
Visioning and General Plan/LCP/Zoning Ordinance update process by attending the
community workshops, educational forums and other activities for the general public.
Meeting Agendas
Meeting agendas will be prepared by City staff and the EC3 facilitator in consultation
with the Chairperson or a majority of the EC3, following the procedures of the Brown
Act. At the conclusion of each meeting, the facilitator and City staff will summarize the
results and identify items that may need further research or be carried over to the next
meeting, preview new business for the upcoming meeting, and invite Committee
members to suggest new items for future meetings. Agendas for future meetings will be
established by consensus of the EC3 with concurrence of City staff and facilitator.
Members of the public have a right to attend EC3 meetings and will have an opportunity
to address the committee on any issue under its purview.
External Communications. The overriding consideration in all communications is to
honor and sustain the constructive, collaborative process of the committee. EC3 members
are encouraged to communicate with their constituencies in order to keep them informed
of the public visioning and General Plan/LCP/Zoning Ordinance update process and to
encourage direct participation. Should committee members speak to the media, members
are encouraged to provide accurate, factual information to inform the public about the
program, but are asked to refrain from engaging in speculation, advocating a position on
a specific issue, speaking on behalf of the EC3 (unless authorized by the committee to do
so), or otherwise making public statements that would tend to hamper constructive
committee discussions. City staff and the facilitator will be available to assist in any
communications to the media, if desired.
Information Sharing. In order to ensure all EC3 members have the same information
available to them, all documents will be distributed through City staff. If a member has
information he or she would like to share with other committee members, the information
should be given to staff for distribution to the entire committee. Maintaining this flow of
information will facilitate a respectful, collaborative process, and help avoid unintended
violations of open meeting laws (e.g., serial meetings).
Work Products
In addition to its role as representatives of and conduits to community stakeholders, the
EC will be responsible for reviewing work product and providing guidance on policy
issues. The primary purpose of the EC3 in reviewing work product is to ensure that it
accurately and fairly reflects the input received from the community at the various
forums, group meetings and public workshops. In particular, the EC3 will closely review
the Community Vision and Guiding Principles and Themes report to ensure that it
accurately and fairly reflects the community's input. The committee will also assess
whether the Phase 2 Work Program is comprehensive and can realistically achieve the
goal of developing policies, programs, and standards that will carry out the community
vision articulated in Phase 1.
The Phase 1 interim and final work products that the EC3 will likely review include:
• Working Paper on Opportunities and Challenges
• Community Survey Results
• Community Vision and Guiding Principles and Themes
• Working Paper on Vision and Policy Match
• Working Paper on Zoning Issues
• Phase 2 Work Program
