77 8. AB #12,910 - REGIONAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY PRESENTATION.
Stuart Shaffer, San Diego Association of Governments, presented a plaque to City Manager Ray
Patchett based on his work the past three years as Chairman of SANDAG's Regional Growth
Management Technical Advisory Committee.
Jeff Tayman, Senior Planner, SANDAG, gave a report on the Regional Growth Management
Strategy, Draft Series 8 Forecasts and the Draft Land Use Distribution Element, as contained in
the Agenda Bill. He stated the purpose of his talk was to have the Council think about actions as
a region to meet the growth management challenges in the future.
Staff indicated that due to the potential impact to the Growth Management Plan dwelling unit
limitation, modifications would be required to the Land Use Element of the General Plan. They
stated the City has established growth limits with the Growth Management Plan; however, staff
referenced their comments contained in Exhibit 2 to the agenda bill and emphasized that the
report shows that by the year 2005, the City will run out of land at the local level to support the
additional growth projected for the regional level.
Council Members indicated that Proposition E reduced the dwelling capacities in Carlsbad, and
that the plan Carlsbad has adopted is a good plan. They also indicated that the question should
be directed at how much growth the region "wants" to hold versus how much growth "can" it hold.
Council Member Finnila stated this report needs to be taken to the School Districts, as well as to
City Councils, to get feedback.

ACTION: On motion by Mayor Pro Tem Stanton, Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 94- 297, directing the City Manager to forward to SANDAG the Council’s comments
as follows:
1) Council could accept the interim forecasts;
2) SANDAG should not anticipate cities making the land use changes so they
should not do future Series 8 forecasts based on those land use changes unless
cities actually decide to implement them; and
3) Council could not accept the Land Use Distribution Element; however, they
indicated their desire to have a workshop after the first of the year on the issue
