Repeal provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and rescind certain City
Council Policies that are obsolete or conflict with other laws
Recommended Action
Introduce ordinances repealing Section 2.06.070 and Chapters 5.30, 6.15, 8.08 and 8.49 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (Code). Adopt a resolution rescinding City Council Policies 10, 11 and
13.
Executive Summary
On May 23, 2017, the City Council directed staff to commence work on a comprehensive
update to the Code. On July 23, 2019, the City Council created the ad hoc Carlsbad Municipal
Code and City Council Policy Update Subcommittee (Subcommittee) comprised of City Council
Members Blackburn and Schumacher to assist" staff from the City Attorney's Office and the City
Clerk's Office with recommendations for the update. The City Council also expanded the
update to include City Council policies. As part of the update, the Subcommittee recommends
the City Council repeal one section and four chapters of the Code and rescind three City Council
policies that are obsolete or conflict with other laws.
Discussion
The Subcommittee's initial workplan included identifying Code provisions that did not require
revision and could be repealed because they are obsolete or conflict with other laws. The table
below lists the Code sections and chapters the Subcommittee recommends the City Council
repeal and the reasons for the recommendation.
Code Reason for Repeal
Section 2.06.070 Appointments
Ch. 5.30 Inspection of Avocadoes
Superseded by Carlsbad Municipal Code section 2.15.050.
This chapter is preempted by state law. (see CA Food & Ag§§
45031-45042}
Background: This chapter was adopted in 1974 at the request
of the County of San Diego to address avocado thefts.
Jan. 28, 2020 Item #10 Page 1 of 27
Code Reason for Repeal
California Food & Agriculture Code sections 45031-45042
were adopted by the state in 1989 for the same purpose and
· preempt the city's code.
Ch. 6.15 Alcohol Beverage Warning This chapter is preempted by state law (see CA Hlth & S
§25249 .6)
Ch. 8.08 Dances
Background: This chapter was adopted in 1987 at the request
of the County of San Diego to match an ordinance adopted by
the county. The chapter was to be enforced by and signs were
to be provided by the county. The county repealed its related
ordinance in 2007 because it found it duplicative of state law.
The State Alcohol Beverage Control Department regulates
warning signs for facilities that sell alcohol. Sections of the
Health & Safety Code require warning signs regarding the risks
of alcohol during pregnancy (see Health & Safety Code section
25249.6 and related regulations).
No longer necessary or enforced.
Background: This chapter was adopted in 1968 as an urgency
ordinance. This chapter is no longer being used by the police
department. Other municipal code sections such as those
related to special event permits and entertainment permits
address this area.
Ch. 8.49 Gasoline Price Advertising Preempted by State Law (see CA Bus & Prof§ 13531)
Background: This chapter was adopted in 1979 in response to
gas shortages causing traffic issues. It was thought that having
gas prices visible from the street would prevent some of the
long lines at gas stations. At the time, the city attorney
acknowledged in the staff report that the chapter was likely
preempted by state laws regulating signage for the sale of
gasoline. Current state law adopted in 1984 requires gas price
signage to be visible from the street. -
The Subcommittee also began identifying the City Council policies that did not require revision
and could be rescinded. The table below lists three policies the Subcommittee recommends
the City Council rescind and the reasons for the recommendation. Rescinding the policies
requires four votes of the City Council.
Policy No. Reason for Repeal
10 -Agendas for City Council
Meetings
Superseded by Carlsbad Municipal Code sections 1.20.060 and
1.20.070
Background: This policy, adopted in 1972, provided guidelines
to staff for the inclusion of items on a City Council meeting
Jan. 28, 2020 Item #10 Page 2 of 27
:
Policy No. Reason for Repeal
agenda. In 2018, Chapter 1.20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code
was revised to include procedures for the City Council agenda
and agenda packet.
11 ~ CTV (Cable Television) Preempted by State Law (CA Public Utilities Code§§ 5800-
5970) and Chapter 5.29 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code
Background: This policy adopted in 1972, established policies
for the construction, installation, maintenance and operation
of a franchised cable television system. The Public Utilities
Code, Division 2.5, the Digital Infrastructure and Video
Competition Act of 2006, became effective in January 2007,
establishing state cable franchising obligations and laws.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 5.29 further defines and
enforces the California Public Utilities Code, Section 5800 et.
seq.
13 -No Smoking in City Recreation Preempted by State Law (Govt Code §7596-7598) adopted in
Facilities 2003.
Background: This policy was adopted in 1980 to prohibit
smoking in city recreation facilities at the request of the Parks
& Recreation Commission. The state adopted Government
Code sections 7596-7598 to prohibit smoking in public
buildings in 2003.
The subcommittee is continuing to review the Code and City Council policies and will be
bringing forward additional recommendatio_ns at future City Council meetings.
Fiscal Analysis
The existing FY 2019-20 budgets for the City Attorney's Office and City Clerk's Office include
sufficient funding for the cost of repealing the referenced Code provisions and rescinding the
referenced City Council policies.
Next Steps
The city clerk will prepare the ordinances for adoption at the next regular City Council meeting.
Once adopted, the city clerk will publish the ordinances or a summary of the ordinances in a
newspaper of general circulation within 15 days. The ordinances will be effective 30 days
following the adoption.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, the recommended actions do not constitute
a "project" within the meaning of CEQA because they have no potential to cause either a direct
physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and, therefore, do not require environmental review.

·grated into Cable Television systems of those who may acquire (a) frin -
