including economic and fiscal data.
Council Special Meeting, September 19, 2007 Page 3
Lisa Irvine, Finance Manager, discussed the current trends in the financial news including the
cut in prime rate, the drop in Consumer Price Index, energy costs, housing starts,
foreclosures, transient occupancy tax and status regarding buildout. She also explained the
estimate of monies set aside for Prop C (35 Million). She further explained that this money
has been moved to a holding or reserve fund in the Capital Improvement Project accounting.
Community Development Director Sandy Holder introduced Senior Planners Mike Grim and
Scott Donnell who would provide data regarding the Open Space Committee and Agricultural
Mitigation Fee Committee analyses.
Senior Planner Mike Grim gave an overview of the open space status in Carlsbad. He noted
that approximately 40% of land in Carlsbad is preserved and any additional open space
property purchases would add to this percentage.
In response to Council, Mr. Grim explained the process used by the state to acquire property.
He also spoke about the grant applications for acquisition funding. Mr. Grim noted that to date
no grants have been secured.
The Mayor called a recess at 9:30 a.m. and reconvened all members of the Council at 9:37
a.m.
Consultant and former Planning Director Michael Holzmiller added to Mr. Grim's discussion by
the following points: He stated that there is a provision in the City's General Plan that an open
space designation can not change on a property unless it is replaced acre for acre by land of
similar environment and is in proximity to the land under consideration. Also, Mr. Holzmiller
noted that it is easier to get grants if a City has matching funds.
City Attorney Ron Ball confirmed that open space land is legislatively protected.
At this point Mr. Grim discussed each open space area considered by the Open Space
Committee: its location, ranking on the Open Space Committee list, and availability.
Economic Development and Real Estate Manager Cynthia Haas gave an update on the real
estate negotiations regarding the Mitsuuchi property.
Council Member Hall asked why the properties included in Proposition D, coastal properties,
and Sunny Creek properties were not included in the map. In response, Mr. Grim noted that
they were not recommended by the committee.
Council Member Nygaard noted that the City need not purchase whole properties. She
suggested grants and matching funds as alternatives.
Discussion ensued regarding the ownership, conditions, and feasibility of management of the
Poinsettia Vernal Pools and the Brodiaea Preserve.
The Mayor called a recess at 10:53 a.m. and reconvened all members of the Council at 11:00
a.m.
Council Special Meeting, September 19, 2007 Page 4
Senior Planner Scott Donnell reviewed the work of the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee
Committee. He discussed the projects that have been approved by the Committee and those
that are in queue.
Finance Director Lisa Irvine discussed the City's 10 year forecast and Capital Improvement
Projects (CIP). Council discussion ensued regarding swim complex and golf course costs,
future CIP costs, general construction costs, and projects required by Growth Management.
Council Member Hall and Mayor Lewis spoke of concerns regarding the City reserves.
Because of possible emergencies they agreed that a figure for the reserve should be
considered. Council Member Hall suggested that a reserve number or range be established
prior to expenditures on open space parcels.
Mayor Lewis stated that there is no time sequence for Prop C. He noted that some open
space parcels could be purchased now and others could potentially be purchased from a bond
measure.
Mayor Pro Tern Kulchin stated that funding opportunities from outside the City should be
explored.
Council Member Packard suggested that Council set a percentage of the operating budget as
a target reserve number.
Council Member Hall noted that staff should look for partnerships on any projects coming
forward. In agreement, Council Member Nygaard suggested a focus on sharing costs. She
stated that we need to be creative in the future.
Lisa Hildabrand, Assistant City Manager, summarized the key points from Council:
• An operating budget reserve number should be developed.
• More detailed information on project costs and development of projects is
needed,
• An outline of what is needed for completion of trail system (Council Member
Nygaard).
Council concurred that the open space property list needs to be expanded.
The Mayor called a recess at 11:54 a.m. and reconvened all members of the Council at 12:20
p.m.
Mayor Lewis requested that Mr. Grim contact the Open Space Committee Members and share
the expanded list and accompanying data with them. He asked that Mr. Grim report the
responses. The Mayor and Council requested that the following open space properties be
reviewed: Sunny Creek, Manzano, Propositon D lands (South shore, 48 acres and balance).
Council discussion ensued with staff regarding financing of open space: Bond measures,
assessments, and taxes were discussed.

LORRAINE M. WOOD, CMC
CITY CLERK
Problems are now being experienced as the result of the City having
combined the OS & Conservation parts of the General Plan. This has
<&*?failed tojdelineate between lands that the general population can use to
<NNrecreate and lands set aside to ensure the long term survival of plant and
vfanimal species ana resulted in conflicting uses, such as biking and hiking,
birdwatching and paintballing all which in varying degrees are disruptive to
wildlife. DFG andiCNLM (who you are contracting with to take over and
Manage the City owneqjparcels, and lands set aside as mitigation from
development) is closing many areas that they feel the human impact is too
heavySrBikeriders have been shut out of Flightline, with no plans to reoopen
it -f as they were toldjand unless they want to ride on large DG Trails are
^^-' '
confined to the more natural and desireable "single tracks'* of Calavera, the
only place in this city where this is apparently allowed, even though the
entry point on Tamarack says it is "closed to the public". You need to give
all these conflicting uses between people and people and animals some
thought. You need to set aside an area of land where paint bailers and motor
heads can "do their thing'*, or ban the sales of these devices within our city
limits and enourage other cities to do so also. So they are not constantly
sneaking into habitat and disrespecting it by their mere presence. That
would be the most cost effective solution to these problems, than hiring
more police to attempt to catch people out in habitat and open space having
their idea of "fun".
Just this weekend I stopped at the corpse of the
threatened/endangered Kangaroo Rat, a startling beautiful little critter. This
animal had met it's fate at the wheels of an earlier mountain biker. When
the contractor you have hired to manage our natural lands get's around to
writing "real and meaningful" reports - (hopefully sometime in the next
year) you will probably begin to see documented the loss of critical species
both plant & animals. This will trigger more closing of land to the general
public.
What do decline in our local animal species, the imfamous "Delta
Smelt" and the decline in productivity of our oceans have in common? All
are indicators that man's footprint on the natural world is too large and is
effecting the very survival of these species. Who cares? Those who have
been educated to understand to understand that life on our planet is an
intricate web of connections and that removing one connection in it's
entirety effects many others, and ultimately man themselves. Those who
want their children to stay connected to nature and not just observe it on
television, those who want cleaner water coming out of the storm drains at
the beaches, and even those who complaint about this so called "unfunded
mandates" that just like many other laws to protect "the Commons" will
force the city to not emit fetid storm water through our lagoons and to ocean.
Think of how many people use the beach, think of those tourist dollars, think
of how many people benefit by preserving land that enables run-off to slow
down, cause less erosion and provide habitat that many species require for
their very survival.
The loss of small mamals to cars, disruption in their reproduction
from lighting, not to mention merely paving things over - causes larger
predators, like the coyote (and if we had any deer left in this part of town -
and we don't -and if we had any of these large animal like the mountain
lions that feed on the deer left here - let us pause for a couple seconds to
mourne the loss of species that had previously been here for hundreds if not
thousands of years. So we shall limit the discussion to mammals that are
still live here and their survival: racoons, bobcats and yes the dreaded
coyote - these animals are forced into contact with increasing numbers of
people. Is exterminating or relocating these animals, something that
individuals and HOA's routinely are foced to do the answer -1 THINK
NOT. Animals need more than "CORRIDORS" animals need
adequate habitat in which to live. While we may be attempting to set
aside channels for their movement we are clearly not doing enough to create
a city reserve where they can reside, undisturbed by the activites of man.
This is the problem that began when OS & Cons. Elements of the General
Plan were combined.
We simply must rethink setting aside the bare minimum of land
outlined in the HMP to allow development to occur unfettered and think
about creating a large contiguous reserve, through which NO ROADS WILL
RUN. Take the Cannon Rd. money and reallocate it today to build this
reserve. For while development may bring tax dollars to the city collers, as
Visa likes to say, UNDEVELOPED LANDS ARE PRICELESS. And
although you may not realize it directly benefit, through their mere presence
and diversity, not only each and every member of our city - no matter how
young or how old, But benefit our region and nation. We simply must direct
less "Planning Dept" resources toward develoment and more staff resources
toward preservation. We need to build on the size of the largest remaining
Regional Coastal Land Preserve which is mostly in Carlsbad and that is
Calavera. Only by building on the reserve, and setting money aside today to
hire a consultant skilled in these intricate conservation land deals can we
assure the survival of the remaining threatened and endangered species in
our city. Call on staff to educate you about which species are the most
threatened and endangered - whoops don't have anyone. Call on staff to tell
you what it would take to get these landowners to become willing sellers
after the debacle of having The Ad Hoc Open Space Committee meet, (who
was directed from you NOT to consider wheter there were willing sellers).
Whoops - don't have anyone. Let's talk briefly about this hand-picked Ad
Hoc Open Space Committee. They outlined very reasonable criteria; they
developed a rating system and vetting the only remaining dozen parcels -
Citywide. Staff did NOT do a good job in identifying potential open space
parcels, just off the top of my head I can identify two, the horse ranch and
contiguous lot which was long ago and for many years routinely plowed and
where we will, against the wishes of many citizens who spoke against big
box retail - be "I'm sure" getting a Walmart. But I digress, having staff
identify these potential properties, rating the properties that were
identified and having this list hit the papers - all without having
contacting a single landowner was disingenuous at best and spitefully
manipulative to ensure failure - at worst in getting cooperative and
willing sellers who were educated on the benefits to themselves and
nature of conserving their land. Now your direction to staff seems to be
after sending out an employee completely unskilled in these delicate
negotiations - "consider only the willing sellers" - SHAME on your City
Council. If this was going to be the criteria and were repeated told through
the entire year of meetings, and when asked for direction from council - then
these landowners should have been contacted as soon as their property was
identified as a potential candidate for land conservation and certainly before
it was printed in the papers and approved by council, before they lined up at
a council meeting to show opposition.
It is time to do the correct thing for the long term preservation of our
natural history, allocate $100k-$150 k for a consultant ( city pocket change I
was told by Matt Hall - when spent to hold meetings with housing developer
on Cannon Rd). Allocate the money now to actually hire a professional to
promote land conservation purchases, since we have no one on staff with
this skillset. Need an eng. to time our traffic lights, (what would seem like
something a consultant or temporary person could do) boom simple vote for
a 150k YEARLY expenditure, not to mention long term retirement benefits-
for a full time position. Our environment deserves it's due accord. Today
you COULD direct staff to come up with a financing plan - not a bond
measure - people have already paid for care and preservation through their
property and other taxes - set aside at least 30 million dollars in addition to
actually directing staff to buy the few acres currently available, (less than
half the golf course expenditures - you want to talk about special interest -A
very small percentage of locals golf) Have the forsight with all the
competing large ticket to dedicate fund to buy parcels (some of which were
not even identified - like all the private land along sunny creek road - some
parcels as large as 20 acres) and restore them, as they become available.
Have the foresight to not line McMillians pockets and pay for 30 acres of
land, since it is already dedicated open space. Pay ONLY for the 3 acre
Village H as we have been saying since the folks in the Village H area,
which I am one, have repeatedly stated they want preserved.
Redirect and/or hire some "planning dept" staff (away from their
relentless mission of development,) to work on grant writing (The same tired
employee, unskilled hi this area also, was directed to research this). We
simply must buy and conserve some of our remaining resources. Only then
will theses increasing conflicts between Conservation, Recreation and
banned activities have the space to resolve themselves.

Open Space Presentation
Review Proposition C Open Space
Committee process, criteria, rankings.
Describe the types of Open Space within
the City.
Explain the Growth Management Program
and HMP as they relate to Open Space.
Discuss Open Space acquisition methods
and funding.
Prop C Open Space Committee
• Formed in October 2005 to establish
priorities for open space and trail linkage
acquisitions and make recommendations
to City Council on potential acquisition
opportunities.
« Property ranking criteria accepted by City
Council in October 2006.
• Final Report accepted by City Council in
March 2007.
Prop C Open Space Committee
• Ranking criteria heavily weighted towards
natural open space and trails.
• Other types of open space, such as
community gathering places and aesthetic
open space, were included in the criteria.
• Thirteen properties were reviewed and
ranked based upon the criteria.
• To date, four of these properties have
expressed interest in selling to the City.
General Plan and Open Space
Open Space and Conservation Element
defines "open space" and describes the
five different categories of open space.
Contains goals, objectives, and programs
to acquire and maintain the open space.
Also describes the appropriate
mechanisms to preclude use of the open
space for other land uses.
Jeneral Plan and Open Space
"Open Space is defined as any area of
land or water which, for whatever reason,
is not developed for urbanized uses and
which therefore enhances residents'
quality of life. The open space may be in
its natural state or modified in such a way
that the modification itself contributes to
this enhancement."
Genera! Plan Open Space
Categories
Category 1 - Preservation of Natural
Resources.
Category 2 - Managed Production of
Resources.
Category 3 - Outdoor Recreation.
Category 4 - Aesthetic, Cultural, and
Educational Purposes.
Category 5 - Public Health and Safety.
Growth Management Open Space
Additional 15 percent of developable land
to be set aside for open space.
Does not apply to all Local Facilities
Management Zones.
Secures Category 1, 3, and 4 open space.
Open Space and Resource Management
Plan (OSCRMP) guides exactions.
Habitat Management Plan
Established to assemble a 6,400 acre
native habitat preserve within the City
(Category 1 open space).
Preserve areas include City owned lands,
privately owned lands, and lands owned
by other agencies or entities (Department
of Fish and Game, State Lands
Commission, University of California).
Habitat Management Plan
Ail City owned preserve areas are already
protected by Open Space General Plan
and Zoning designations.
HMP requirement for acquisition of an
additional 43 acres within the County
gnatcatcher core area.
Could apply additional conservation within
the City towards the 43 acre requirement.
Open Space Acquisition
There are various methods the City can
use to secure open space:
- City acquisition - involves purchasing land
and providing management and maintenance.
- Open Space or Conservation Easement -
property encumbered but not owned by City.
City could be grantee of easement.
- Open Space designation - restricts land uses
on the property without ownership or
easement.
Acquisition I «,,«„„
General Fund
Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee
Program
Habitat Preservation grant funding (e.g.
Section 6 Endangered Species Act Funds)
Partnership with other organizations (such
as local lagoon foundations, Coastal
Conservancy, NGOs and non-profits)
Summary of Open Space Status
• Growth Management performance standard
open space and HMP preserve areas will
continue to be acquired through private
development
• No Growth Management or HMP requirement for
City acquisition of additional open space lands
within the City (to maintain existing species take
coverage)
• At buildout. approximately 74 percent of the
City's open space system will be preserved as
natural open space (30 percent of entire City).
Open Space Map Review
City Open Space Map:
-All properties with Open Space General Plar
or Zoning designation or Open Space
Easement.
- Separated by General Plan Open Space
Category (1 through 4).
- Future HMP Open Space preserve areas.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2007
TO: CITY MANAGER
VIA: Community Development Director
FROM: Senior Planner
OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE PROPERTY SUMMARY
On March 13, 2007, the City Council accepted the Property Rankings and Final Report of the
Proposition C Open Space and Trails Citizen's Committee. Since that time, staff has pursued
additional funding sources for open space acquisitions, contacted the property owners to
ascertain their willingness to sell and, for those interested parties, attempted to gather
acquisition and management costs. In preparation for City Council consideration of property
acquisition, staff has compiled a summary analysis of the ranked properties and a status of
preliminary property owner discussions.
Attached is a table listing all properties in order of their Committee ranking. Included in the table
is summary information about the property's potential contribution to the City's Open Space
system, HMP benefits, trail system benefits, and the possibility of use for City project mitigation.
Also attached is a similar table, listing only those properties with willing sellers or unknown,
status. Staff has been in contact with the willing sellers and has gathered additional information
on acquisition and management costs. This information is contained below:
Sherman Property (trail easements) - City and Agency staff and the Center for Natural Lands
Management (CNLM) have been discussing the inclusion of Citywide trails through the
Sherman Property. Once CNLM has prepared a Preserve Management Plan, all parties will
meet to locate potential trail alignments. There may be some costs for trail easement
acquisitions since the property was acquired using Federal funds which cannot be used for
trails. Trail management costs would be incorporated into the existing Citywide Trails Program.
Calavera Village H - The property owner is proposing that the City acquire the entire portion
south of Carlsbad Village Drive but not that portion currently under management by CNLM,
north of Carlsbad Village Drive. The property would include a 2.0 acre Community Facilities
site. The property owner's rough estimate for acquisition ranges from $871,200 to $1,219,600.
Management and monitoring costs would depend on how much of the site will be placed into the
City's HMP Preserve.
Mitsuuchi Property - The Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation (BLF) is in negotiations with the
property owner for acquisition and management. The City could participate in this acquisition,
using the funding obtained by BLF as leverage. The question of who would own the property is
still unanswered; certain benefits such as use of the property for City mitigation credits are
directly related to property ownership. The estimated City contribution ranges from $500,000 to
$750,000, depending on the timing of receipt of Section 6 funds. The property owner is anxious
to move forward on the sale of the property, either for open space preservation or for
development, therefore staff may request a closed session discussion on this property prior to
consideration of other Open Space Committee ranked properties. BLF has also requested that
the City assist with an upfront option payment to secure the property from purchase by a
developer.
Poinsettia Vernal Pools - The property is within the railroad right-of-way and would remain
under North County Transit District ownership. There are no acquisition costs since the City
would only pursue an easement allowing the City, or its agent, to access and maintain the
vernal pool habitat. The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is holding a $50,000 endowment
which is reserved for the management of this property. Preliminary estimates indicate that this
endowment, plus additional work by volunteers, would be adequate to provide management and
qualify the City for take permit authority for vernal pool species.
Brodiaea Preserve - The property is under bankruptcy proceedings and is about to be obtained
by DFG. There are no acquisition costs since DFG would simply transfer title. A portion of the
original endowment remains. Previous discussions with the Wildlife Agencies indicate that they
would accept a management and monitoring program commensurate with the remaining
endowment payment. The Agencies would also support applications for grant funding, such as
SANDAG's EMP Program, to assist with management of the property. Therefore existing and
future funding sources should be adequate to provide management and monitoring of the
property.
A map indicating the location of all of the Open Space Committee ranked properties is attached
for your reference. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional
information. Thank you.

INFORMATION ON AGRICULTURAL CONVERSION MITIGATION FEE COMMITTEE
The following information is provided in this report:
1. Background and status of the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee Ad Hoc Citizen's Advisory
Committee
2. Applicable Municipal Code provisions
3. Eligibility categories for projects seeking mitigation fees
4. Current and projected mitigation fee balance
5. Projects approved and recommended for mitigation fee funding (attachments)
6. Contact information for Committee staff liaison
Background and Status of Committee and Project Funding Actions
In 2005, the City Council passed Resolution 2005-242, forming the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation
Fee Ad Hoc Citizen's Advisory Committee (Committee). The principal charge of the Committee is to
make recommendations to the City Council for proposed expenditures from the Agricultural Conversion
Mitigation Fee Fund in keeping with the mandates established by Municipal Code Section 21.202.060.
The Committee's first report to the Council, detailing how the Committee would carry out its mandate,
was approved by Council in May 2006. The Committee's second report included the first round of
funding recommendations; the Council approved this report and $3,300,500 in funding proposals in
February 2007. Staff anticipates Council review of a second round of funding recommendations totaling
$3,267,071 this fall.
Attachments 1 and 2 list all approved and proposed funding recommendations. Attachment 3 is a map of
projects approved and recommended for funding.
According to Resolution 2005-242, the Committee shall:
1. Consist of seven Carlsbad citizens meeting at least twice a year
2. Exist for four years (beginning 2005) or until all funds are allocated, whichever occurs first,
unless extended by Council
3. Conduct its business in open and public meetings.
The Committee already has met twice in 2007 (April and June). The Committee has not set another
meeting date.
Applicable Municipal Code Provisions
As explained in Municipal Code Chapter 21.202, certain lands in the Mello II segment of the City's Local
Coastal Program were identified in 1980 as "coastal agricultural lands." When these properties convert
from agricultural to urban use, mitigation is required. Commonly, properties mitigate through payment of
the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee. An "urban use" is essentially any non-agricultural or
agriculturally-related use; a single-family home built on an existing legal parcel is considered an
agriculture use.

September 19, 2007
Page 2
Eligibility Categories for Projects Seeking Mitigation Fees
Consistent with Section 21.202.060 D, the City collects a mitigation fee of $ 10,000 per acre. Allowable
projects for the fees must fall into four different eligibility categories:
1. Restoration of the coastal and lagoon environment including but not limited to acquisition,
management and/or restoration involving wildlife habitat or open space preservation.
2. Purchase and improvement of agricultural lands for continued agricultural production, or for the
provision of research activities or ancillary uses necessary for the continued production of
agriculture and/or aquaculture in the City's Coastal Zone, including but not limited to, farm
worker housing.
3. Restoration of beaches for public use including but not limited to: local and regional sand
replenishment programs, vertical and lateral beach access improvements, trails, and other beach-
related improvements that enhance accessibility, and/or public use of beaches.
4. Improvements to existing or proposed lagoon nature centers.
Current and Projected Mitigation Fee Balance
As of June 30, 2007, available funds totaled $6,933,386. This balance does not reflect any deductions
made for approved or pending projects. The following table reflects approved and proposed expenditures
and the resulting balance:

Proposed funding
Potential remaining balance
$6,933,386
-$18,000
-$3,300,500
-$3,267,071
$347,815
Staff estimates fees have been paid already on 750 acres and remain to be paid on 221 acres. Based on the
current fee amount ($10,000 per acre, the maximum fee that can be collected), that equates to maximum
potential of $2,210,000 in additional fees.
However, it is likely that the maximum potential will not realized as all eligible properties may not
develop. For example, 70 of the 221 acres from which fees could be collected are Proposition D lands.
Further, two properties proposed for acquisition by the Open Space Committee (Mitsuuchi and Murphy)
are also part of the acreage on which fees remain to be paid. If these or other properties remain in
agriculture or open space and are not developed with urban uses, the potential additional fees collected
would be correspondingly reduced. The table below shows the potential reduction of fees if the following
specific properties do not develop.
