ofthe Carlsbad Municipal Water District and Resolution
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 1480
No. 2013-238 of the City of Carlsbad authorizing approval of the Listing of Underutilized Properties
and amendment to include Maerkle Reservoir Expansion Property (APN 169-500-05) located in Carlsbad,
California, and Pajama Drive Property (APN 149-070-47) located in Oceanside, California.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City of Carlsbad and Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) each own a considerable portfolio of
real property. Due to the size and value ofthe property portfolios and the changing needs ofthe city and
CMWD, staff periodically evaluates properties within the portfolios to identify those properties with
potential revenue generation opportunities that will increase their value to the city or the CMWD.
At a special meeting workshop held on August 21, 2012, the City Council and CMWD Board jointly
considered a list of selected properties (now referred to as the Listing of Underutilized Properties) for
revenue generation opportunities. Staff recommends formal adoption ofthe Listing of Underutilized
Properties to facilitate exploration of leasing and sale options for these underutilized properties (Exhibit
3).
Recently, staff identified two additional CMWD owned properties that warrant consideration to be
added to the Listing of Underutilized Properties. The two properties include the Maerkle Reservoir
Expansion Property, located along the eastern boundary ofthe City of Carlsbad and the Pajama Drive
Property, located in the north central portion of Oceanside, California. Staff is requesting that the CMWD
Board authorize inclusion of these two properties into the Listing of Underutilized Properties. A more
detailed discussion ofthe location, history and issues surrounding these two properties is described
below.
Maerkle Reservoir Expansion Propertv
The Maerkle Reservoir Expansion Property is a 55.7 acre property located generally east of El Camino
Real and north of Palomar Airport Road along the City of Carlsbad border with Vista and San Marcos.
Maerkle Reservoir is situated immediately south ofthe Expansion Property on a separate 53 acre parcel
and serves as the main water storage facility for the CMWD (see Exhibits 4 and 5).

The Maerkle Reservoir Expansion Property was originally purchased for the purpose of developing
additional water reservoir storage for CMWD's increasing customer base. However, after adoption ofthe
Carlsbad Growth Management Plan, the additional CMWD water storage capacity was no longer
necessary. Given the size, location and elevation ofthe property, the site retains its potential for use as a
future water infrastructure facility.
Currently the site is being considered as a potential location for a regional recycled water storage facility.
Such a facility would be built as part ofthe proposed North San Diego County Regional Recycled Water
Project. Implementation ofthe project, if it occurs at all, is projected to begin 10 to 30 years into the
future. Until such plans become a reality, staff believes there is an opportunity to generate revenue
through interim use of the property for a solar power farm. Staff is requesting Board authorization to
investigate potential solar farm leasing options. If such a request is approved, staff will evaluate options
and return to the CMWD Board with recommendations.
Paiama Drive Propertv
Pajama Drive is located in a residential neighborhood in Oceanside, California. It originally served as a
water storage facility for the Costa Real Water District, which was subsequently ceded to the CMWD. The
site is no longer used and has been cleared of existing infrastructure. The property, which is 1.55 acres in
size, is zoned Residential Estate with 1.0 unit allowed per acre (see Exhibits 6 and 7). The property is
located within the City of Oceanside and is subject to the land use laws of that jurisdiction. Based on its
limited utility to the CMWD, staff is requesting Board authorization to explore other uses for the
property, including a potential sale. If approved, staff will evaluate options and return to the CMWD
Board with recommendations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is unknown at this time; however, any revenue created from the use or sale of property
would accrue to the Carlsbad Municipal Water District.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, the action to authorize additions to the listing of
underutilized properties to be considered for lease or sale does not constitute a "project" within the
meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment,
or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require
environmental review.
