Subject: Buena Vista Lagoon Restoration Project-SAN DAG Continuance Request
Recommended Action
Consider a request from Mayor Matt Hall to discuss asking SANDAG for a six-month
continuance of the Buena Vista Lagoon Restoration project.
Executive Summary
On November 16, 2018, the SANDAG Board of Directors is scheduled to consider adopting a
resolution identifying the saltwater alternative as the proposed project and certification of the
Final EIR for the Buena Vista Lagoon Enhancement Plan.
On November 6, 2018, Mayor Hall submitted the attached letter (Exhibit 1) to the city manager
requesting that the subject item be placed on the November 13, 2018, City Council agenda.
Pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 1.20.060.C:
The city manager is responsible for scheduling matters for consideration by the council
based on established council priorities, the city's business and governmental needs, and
requirements of applicable law. Items of business may be placed on the agenda by any
member ofthe council, the city manager or the city attorney, or by council action.
Council-originated items must be submitted to the city manager not less than seven
days before the date ofthe council meeting at which the member desires the item to
appear on the agenda. Nothing in this section precludes a council member from
requesting council action to place an item on the agenda for a future meeting.
Discussion
On November 7, 2017, the City Council received a presentation from SAN DAG (Exhibit 2) and
directed staff to submit a letter in support of a SAN DAG decision to approve the saltwater
alternative as the proposed project for the enhancement of Buena Vista Lagoon (Exhibit 3).
The Buena Vista Lagoon is a freshwater lagoon located along Carlsbad's northern city limit. The
lagoon encompasses approximately 220 acres, extending to the coastline from just east of
Interstate 5. The lagoon is in a state of biological decline, and over the past decade numerous
federal, state, and local agencies and organizations have attempted to reach consensus on how
to reverse this decline through a large-scale enhancement effort. The Buena Vista Lagoon
November 13, 2018 Item #8 Page 2 of 18
Enhancement Plan includes engineering studies and the preparation of an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) to analyze possible approaches to the enhancement of the lagoon.
Four project alternatives have been evaluated: three enhancement alternatives (Freshwater,
Saltwater, and a Saltwater/Freshwater Hybrid) and a 'No Project' alternative. SANDAG engaged
federal and state agencies, the cities of Carlsbad and Oceanside, stakeholders, and the public in
considering alternatives through the EIR process. The Final EIR identifies the Saltwater
Alternative as the proposed project. The EIR is posted for review at
www.keepsandiegomoving.com/buena vista lagoon docs.aspx,
and is scheduled to be brought to the SAN DAG Board of Directors for consideration and
certification on November 16, 2018.
On November 5 and November 6, 2018, Mayor Hall received correspondence from lagoon
stakeholders seeking a six-month extension to allow further negotiations with wildlife agencies
to occur prior to a final SAN DAG decision. On November 6, 2018, Mayor Hall submitted the
attached letter (Exhibit 1) to the city manager requesting that the subject item be placed on the
November 13, 2018, City Council agenda for discussion and to direct the city's SAN DAG
representative to request a six-month continuance.
Fiscal Analysis
SAN DAG committed $800,000 in TransNet funds for the Buena Vista Lagoon Enhancement Plan
environmental review process. Additionally, the cities of Oceanside and Carlsbad each
contributed $100,000 toward the study, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife
provided $228,000, and $25,000 was provided by the Buena Vista Lagoon Foundation . Funding
for implementation of a potential enhancement project will be explored after completion of the
EIR process and selection of a preferred alternative by SAN DAG. No funding is being requested
at this time.
Next Steps
The Final EIR is scheduled to be brought to the SAN DAG Board of Directors for consideration
and certification on November 16, 2018. Mayor Hall has requested that the City Council give
direction to the city's SAN DAG representative to request a six-month continuance "to provide
all parties involved a chance to perhaps come to a hybrid solution and therefore eliminate very
costly CEQA litigation."
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action of asking SAN DAG for a
continuance of their consideration and certification of a Final EIR, does not constitute a
"project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that it has
no potential to cause either a direct physica l change in the environment, or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require
environmental review.

Subject: Approval to ask for 6 month extension from Sandag
Mayor Hall and Mayor Lowery:
Per various emails from Jim Petronella and Dan Muhe all 4 "key property owners" at the lagoon mouth (
St. Malo Association, The Beach Association, Tenaglia family and the Alanis family) have discussed your
proposal to ask Sandag's board to extend the upcoming hearing on Nov. 16th for at least 6 months. I
have been authorized by my board and the Alanis family to grant approval to go ahead with this
extension proposal. You have already heard from Bud Carroll under separate email of his HOA's (The
Beach Association) approval as well.
We ask however that we receive written confirmation from the Sandag board or an authorized
representative ie the Executive Director that they will agree to this 6 month extension as soon as
possible and that the Board is willing to discuss in earnest a comprise solution ( whatever that may end
up being). This is very important to my board that we have this in writing to show our membership you
are acting in good faith.
We look forward to hearing from you . Good luck with your elections today !
Sincerely,
John Tenaglia

Honorable Mayor----Matt
Sorry to bother you at this time relative to the Election tomorrow --1 am a supporter of you ---but I
uderstand from some members at the Buena Vist Lagoon Foundation that that you would like to hear
our Beach Home Owners Associatio opinion relative to a 6 month extension of your San Dag decision on
the various Alternatives which we understand your Board is going to make on Nov. 16
I have supplied information to you and your Council that our Association is in favor of the the Fresh
Water Alternative. We believe at the Buena Vista Lagoon Tidal reaction is considerably different than
any other lagoon in the County. This results in the BV lagoon from becoming merely a narrow stream
under ebb tide conditions, with a different free water surface that the other lagoons suffer under ebb
tide. I have a whole lot of data and information that shows this.
However there is some feeling that the Hybrid "A" Alternative which proposes a weir(dam) at the 1-5
Bridge and maintains fresh water east of 1-5 and allows salt water in the other basins west of 1-5,
modifies the picture some what and leads to the conclusion that SanDag shoud postpone their decision
on this situation while all the interested parties do some negoiation on possible modifications that will
lead to a final satisfactory solution.
Our Beach Homeowners Association is in favor of this 6 month postpomement of a San Dag Decision.

Selection of Proposed Project
All alternatives perform better than No Project
Hybrid Alternative is most expensive
Saltwater Alternative is the proposed project for the
following reasons:
• · Highest reduction in flooding
• Greatest improvement in water quality
• Greatest reduction in mosquitos carrying diseases
• Most benefit to endangered species and habitat
• Consistency with PWP and use as mitigation for
transportation infrastructure.

KEY CONCERNS RAISED
• Clarifying use of alternatives as mitigation
• Lateral Access
• Inlet Bridge Design and Options
• Liability for Property Owners
• Funding for construction
Clarifying Use as Mitigation for Transportation Projects
..... we would not su.12port using the Freshwater Alternative as
mitigation for other projects, nor would we support using
grants (e.g., Transnet Net Benefit Funds) for this alternative.
United Stated Fish and Wildlife Service EIR Comment Letter
..... none of the alternatives, except the Saltwater Alternative,
provide the level of restoration benefits envisioned by the
REMP. Thus, these other alternatives would not be able to be
used as mitigation for impacts associated with the NCC
PWP /TREP transportation infrastructure projects due to
inconsistencies with the REMP provisions.

Dear Ms. Kawada,
Exhibit 3
( City of
Carlsbad
The City of Carlsbad is pleased to encourage and support the SANDAG Board of Directors in
approving the saltwater alternative as the proposed project for the enhancement of the Buena
Vista Lagoon.
The proposed project will effectively reverse the ecological decline of this vital natural resource
while reducing flood risks and improving water quality. The project will provide enhanced habitat
for endangered species while diminishing the lagoon's suitability as a breeding grounds for
mosquitos.
Finally, the project's consistency with the North Coast Corridor Public Works Plan and eligibility
for use as mitigation for regional transportation infrastructure projects make the saltwater
alternative the best option for realizing the significant environmental benefits this project will
bring to Carlsbad and the greater San Diego region.
We thank you for your consideration and leadership in advancing this important project.

Dear Mayor and Council Members - We strongly object to a delay in the Sandag hearing
scheduled for Friday of this week at which time the Sandag Board will select a project
Alternative to support. This project has been studied for many years and the Sandag hearing
has been delayed many times already. It's time for the Sandag Board to make a decision.
We support the Saltwater Alternative which best meets the project objectives, and this is
supported by Sandag staff, the three resource agencies, and the Carlsbad Council in a letter
unanimously voted on by your members.
We feel there is no justification for an eleventh hour delay in the Sandag hearing. We hope
you will not vote to request that Sandag delay Friday's hearing.
Thank you.

I have heard that Mayor Hall would like to vote on a request to delay the SAN DAG hearing and vote on the Buena Vista

There have been enough delays and no amount of time will get the St Malo residents to agree to anything. The SAN DAG
vote needs to go forward.
PLEASE don't let Mayor Hall do this (especially since he waited until after the election to announce this)!

Subject: City Council agenda item - delay of Buena Vista Lagoon restoration
To whom it may concern,
My name is Brian Petersen and I am a member of the Board of Directors for the Buena Vista Audubon Society (BVAS),
and a Carlsbad resident. I am writing to express my concern with the announced agenda item for tomorrow's council
meeting in which Mayor Hall is seeking a continuance on the SANDAG board's decision for Buena Vista Lagoon
restoration project. I believe that continuing to delay the decision is a bad choice that puts the interest of a very small
group of homeowners above the benefit of the entire community and local environment.
The decision by SAN DAG to implement a strategy for the restoration project has already experienced significant delays -
the decision was originally scheduled to be announced almost 11 months ago. In that time, there has been more than
enough opportunity for interested parties to express their concerns. I have come under the impression that the tactic of
continual delay might in fact be a strategy intended to derail the entire project, since many of the homeowners adjacent
to the lagoon have expressed that they would prefer no changes to be made at all. This is, however, not a viable or
sustainable option as the lagoon cannot be maintained in its present state due to continual environmental degradation.
BVAS, along with many other environmental organizations, agrees that the Saltwater Alternative is the most beneficial
choice for a variety of reasons, primarily because it will provide the greatest benefit to the local watershed and support
a greater diversity of species. It will also benefit the region in the long-term by providing flood-control and vector control
benefits.The arguments against the Saltwater Alternative provided by its opponents are not based in fact and have been
refuted comprehensively by our organization. We cannot let the opinions of a few people outweigh the greater good of
the community.
I encourage the Council to stand by its endorsement of the Saltwater Alternative, and to allow SANDAG to make its
decision without further delay.
Sincerely,
Brian Petersen

Subject: Comments on Agenda item #8
Dear Council and Mayor Hall-
I oppose Mayor Hall's request to ask SAN DAG for a six-month continuance of the BV Lagoon Enhancement
Project. SAN DAG is poised to hold a hearing on the FEIR and to certify the preferred alternative -the SW
alternative this Friday. There have been enough delays, and SAN DAG has taken extraordinary steps to
accommodate concerns from homeowners who live by the lagoon. SAN DAG took the time to review and
respond to comments made AFTER the FEIR was produced-this is above and beyond the normal CEQA process.
Yet these homeowners still want a delay, claiming there are CEQA violations and that now suddenly they wish to
negotiate with F&W in support of the hybrid alternative. If the homeowners thought that there were CEQA
problems, why didn't this come up earlier?
I understand that there was a closed-door session at the last SAN DAG meeting, where concerns were raised
about CEQA litigation should the saltwater alternative be chosen. My question is: on what grounds would a
CEQA lawsuit lie? What is the evidence that the alternatives have not been thoroughly examined? if there is no
real basis for such a lawsuit, then this is a frivolous lawsuit and would not stand up in court. Further, if there is a
discussion on delaying a decision on the Lagoon, then all the stakeholders should be present-that includes BVAS,
who has been the voice for the preferred alternative-the saltwater alternative-which best achieves the goals of
the lagoon enhancement project.
City Council submitted a letter supporting SANDAG's decision to approve the SW alternative a year ago.
Shouldn't City Council uphold their own decision? While it is true that the homeowners were not at the meeting
at which the letter approval occurred, that should not be the problem of City Council-there was adequate notice
of this meeting, and in fact, the spokesperson for the BVLF was present and made a statement. If he knew about
the meeting, then the homeowners should have known too.
I ask Council to not continue the delay of this important project and to not request that SAN DAG delay it.
thank you,
Natalie Shapiro
