Description:
The Envision Carlsbad Work Program consists of a description of tasks, schedule and budget to complete
a comprehensive update to the Carlsbad General Plan, Local Coastal Program and Zoning Ordinance.
The overarching intent of the update is to ensure that the city's primary policy and regulatory
documents are consistent with the CARLSBAD COMMUNITY VISION (accepted by City Council in January
2010).
Work Program Amendment:
On July 26, 2011, the City Council approved amendments to the work program schedule and budget
(Exhibits 1 and 2 show the revised schedule and task summary). The objective of the amendment was to
reduce program costs and complete certain tasks earlier than previously scheduled. The following
summarizes the changes:
• Number of community workshops reduced from 10 to 7
• Community-wide survey eliminated
• Work of the Envision Carlsbad Citizens Committee (EC3) will conclude at end of Task 3
• Planning Commission will be involved during Task 4 and remaining work tasks
• Split adoption of the plans/ordinances into 2 phases
o General Plan/LCP Land Use (March 2013) - approximately 1 year earlier
o Zoning Ordinance (December 2013) - approximately 4.5 months earlier
• Overall program costs reduced by approximately $139,000
ECS Review of Working Papers
October 2010 through March 2011
Description:
To establish an understanding of existing conditions, constraints and opportunities related to the core
values of the CARLSBAD COMMUNITY VISION, six "working papers" were prepared (copies previously
distributed to the City Council). The TAG (Technical Advisory Committee, which is comprised of the city's
City Council Workshop | August 16, 2011
Envision Carlsbad Phase 2 | Progress Update
leadership team) and the EC3 reviewed and discussed each paper and provided staff and consultants
with feedback that will be helpful in the preparation of plans and policies. The six working papers are:
1. Sustainability
2. The Local Economy, Business Diversity, and Tourism
3. Open Space and the Natural Environment; Access to Recreation and Active, Healthy Lifestyles
4. History, the Arts and Cultural Resources; High Quality Education and Community Services
5. Walking, Biking, Public Transportation and Connectivity
6. Small Town Feel, Beach Community Character and Connectedness; Neighborhood Revitalization,
Community Design and Livability
Barrio Workshop
March 10, 2011
Description:
Staff and consultants facilitated a workshop with the Barrio community to gain input about:
• The historic and cultural significance of the Barrio
• Businesses and services the neighborhood would like in the area
• The type and density of future housing in the Barrio
• Revitalizing and beautifying the Barrio
• Transportation to and around the Barrio, including by cars, bikes, walking and public
transportation
Approximately 85 community members attended the workshop. Staff and consultants prepared a
BARRIO WORKSHOP SUMMARY REPORT (previously distributed to City Council), which was reviewed by the
ECS. Feedback received at the workshop will assist in the development of alternatives (currently in
process) and a preferred plan (first quarter of 2012). Barrio workshop feedback may also be used in the
development of zoning standards for the area (for example, standards related to parking, front yard
porches and permitted uses).
Zoning Stakeholder Interviews
March 2011
Description:
Staff and consultants invited 37 development community representatives to participate in one-on-one
interviews to discuss issues with or ways to improve the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance. Approximately 13
development community representatives agreed to participate in an interview. Input received during
2 | Page

Envision Carlsbad Phase 2 | Progress Update
the interviews will helpful in drafting the Zoning Ordinance update. Topics discussed during the
interviews included:
• Zoning regulations
• Development standards
• Project review requirements
• Inconsistencies between the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan
• Monitoring and Enforcement issues
• Ease of implementation
• User friendliness of the code
Brainstorming on Alternative Land Uses
May 11, 2011 (EC3) | June 8, 2011 (Dev. Community) | July 13, 2011 [Planning Commission)
Description:
Staff and consultants surveyed all land in the city to determine where there are opportunities for future
development and possible change of land use. Sites that are either vacant or underutilized, or that have
potential to redevelop, were identified as "opportunity sites." These sites were then grouped into
eleven geographic "focus areas" and shown on a map titled ENVISION CARLSBAD POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY
SITES AND MAJOR CONSTRAINTS (Exhibit 3).
Separate workshops were conducted with the ECS and Planning Commission to review the opportunity
sites and brainstorm the types of land uses the committee and commission members would like to see
in the future, based on the CARLSBAD COMMUNITY VISION. Exhibit 4 provides a summary of the ECS and
Planning brainstorming notes.
A workshop was also conducted with the development community to get feedback on the opportunity
sites and potential alternatives. This workshop followed a different format that those with the ECS and
Planning Commission. Twenty-five select representatives from the development community were
invited to attend the workshop; approximately 18 development representatives attended. Notes from
the workshop are provided in Exhibit 5. Topics discussed during the workshop included:
• What kind of uses and development are appropriate in the various opportunity areas?
• What are appropriate and feasible densities/intensities for future development?
• What are some of the key development issues to achieve the Community Vision ?
• What General Plan policies will facilitate development that the community seeks?

ECS and Planning Commission Review of Alternative Land Use Maps
August 10, 2011 (EC3) | August 17, 2011 (Planning Commission)
Description:
The input received at the three alternative brainstorming workshops was analyzed and the primary
ideas for each of the opportunity sites and focus areas were used to create three different alternative
land use maps. Each map reflects a different concept based on the core values of the CARLSBAD
COMMUNITY VISION. The three land use alternative concepts are reflected in the attached maps (Exhibits
6-8) and described on Exhibits 9 and 10. In summary, the concepts are:
• Concept A: Centers - this concept creates additional commercial centers that are within
walking distance of residential neighborhoods. This is consistent with the community's vision to
reduce automobile dependence and to be able to walk from their homes or work to centers that
provide commercial goods and services.
• Concept B: Active Waterfront - this concept includes more commercial, residential and
recreational uses along the coast. This is consistent with the community's vision to create a
coastal waterfront that offers more opportunities to gather, dine and shop, as well as additional
recreational opportunities.
• Concept C: Core Focus - this concept focuses more development (commercial, residential,
and employment intensification) in the employment core of the city (along Palomar Airport
Road and El Camino Real). This is consistent with the community's vision to improve the local
economy and business diversity. In addition, this concept is consistent with the community's
vision to create more opportunities for residents to live close to work and to provide more
commercial services to employees and residents near the employment core of the city; by doing
so, automobile dependence to get to work and to shop is reduced.
On August 10, 2011, the EC3 reviewed the alternative land use maps and provided staff and consultants
with feedback regarding whether or not the alternatives reflect the primary ideas expressed during the
brainstorming workshops. On August 17, 2011, the Planning Commission will review the alternative
maps and provide feedback to staff and consultants.
What's Next?
August 2011 through May 2012
Land Use Alternatives Analysis and Community Workshops
Based on input from the EC3 and Planning Commission (received at their August 10th and August 17th
meetings, respectively), staff and consultants will make revisions to the alternative land use maps. The
land use alternatives will also be analyzed in regard to their potential impacts on population, housing,
4 | Pa ge
City Council Workshop | August 16, 2011
Envision Carlsbad Phase 2 | Progress Update
employment, transportation, environment, as well as fiscal impacts. The results of these studies will be
used to further refine the land use alternatives. This analysis will take place over the next three months.
It is anticipated that the land use alternatives will be presented for community review and input at two
workshops in November. Staff is also investigating options to seek community input on the alternatives
through a web-based program.
Development of a Preferred Plan
Staff and consultants will analyze the community's input on the alternative land use concepts, and will
identify which alternatives for each opportunity site/area the community prefers. The community's land
use preferences will be used to develop a draft Preferred Plan, which will be reviewed by the ECS and
Planning Commission. The draft Preferred Plan will be refined, based on ECS and Planning Commission
input, and then submitted to City Council for review and approval in May 2012.
Remaining Work - General Plan, LCP and Zoning Ordinance
Following City Council approval of a Preferred Plan, staff and consultants will begin drafting the General
Plan update. In addition, on a parallel track with the development of a Preferred Plan and drafting of
the General Plan, the update to the Housing Element and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan will begin
in December 2011/January 2012. It is anticipated that the draft General Plan, including the Housing
Element, and the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan will be ready for public review at the end of 2012.
The city hearing process for adoption of those documents is scheduled to occur in February and March
of 2013. City adoption of the Zoning Ordinance is schedule to occur at the end of 2013.

Alternatives Brainstorming Notes (June 8, 2011)
1. Brainstorm on land use and development opportunities
a. Land use/development: What kind of uses and development is appropriate in the
various opportunity areas?
Participant Comments
City has office development opportunities. Redevelop one-story "scrape-away"
buildings around the airport (#7, Palomar Corridor). There will be more demand for
medical offices and services in the next 20-30 years. However, city's current medical
zoning is restrictive.
Not much need for industrial or warehousing uses.
PM zone has served its useful life. For example, medical offices are not an allowed use,
so developers use the specific plan tool to get around that. Zoning Ordinance and land
use designations need to be updated.
Land available for single-family residential is mostly used up. Future residential will need
to be higher density and more efficient. Is the city ready to be friendlier to retail,
industrial, commercial?
Older plans identified "neighborhood centers"—requirements for a supermarket or drug
store distributed throughout the city to create a "center." The thinking was to avoid
strip malls, but developers (or nearby residents) did not want these centers built, and so
the plan was never fully implemented.
Consider allowing horizontal as well as vertical mixed use developments.
Allow in-lieu fee to meet affordable housing requirement. Would like to build affordable
housing, but may not be specialty.
Opportunity Areas #1, Northwest Coastal/#2, Plaza Camino Real Commercial Corridor:
strengthen connection between them through Jefferson Avenue corridor.
Opportunity Area #5, Sunny Creek Commercial: appropriate location for multi-family
residential, high density, 18-25 units per acre, Up to 4 stories. Would improve
affordability just by adding supply, and would help with jobs/housing balance.
Envision Carlsbad Phase 2
Development Community Alternatives Brainstorming Notes (June 8, 2011)
b. Densities/intensities: What are appropriate and feasible densities/intensities for
future development?
Participant Comments
Eliminate height restrictions: 4-5 stories is probably right, but 10-15 may be politically
feasible right now in higher intensity areas (e.g., areas #2, and #7), near multi-family
housing and in the Village (#1). There is no more land for offices; need to build up.
Airport regulations will still impose height limits.
Unlimited height is not reasonable everywhere - additional height only appropriate in
some areas.
Create high density corridors with a mix of uses, tied into transit and other city services.
Plaza Camino Real is isolated by topography and shopping center. Could be high density
office, residential, or hotels.
Area #3, Quarry Creek, could be mixed-use with higher intensity development—3-5
stories—since it is up against the hillside, well protected.
Hard to fit a multi-family residential in a 45-foot building—need an extra story (i.e. 50-
55 feet) to make it viable.
High density residential zone only goes up to 20 units per acre. Up to 30 units per acre
can be constructed with parking more reasonably. Need to be more efficient with land.
(Only Village up to 35 units per acre). Regulations could go up to 40 units per acre along
corridors.
Future is in higher density housing, both rentals and condos: Baby Boomers will be
downsizing and young people may not prefer a single-family home.
Single-family residential can be higher density with tighter setbacks, smaller lots, no
back yards. Embrace the open spaces outside instead. Our current housing stock is
unbalanced.
Multi-family homes and townhomes can be affordable by design.

Development Community Alternatives Brainstorming Notes (June 8, 2011)
2. Brainstorm on Development Issues
a. What are some of the key development issues to achieve the Community Vision?
b. What General Plan policies will facilitate development that the community seeks?
Participant Comments
Additional development will be challenging, since traffic level of service standards
(average daily trips) is a limiting factor; congestion is already an issue at several
intersections. Intensifying uses will cause unmitigated impacts.
Consider how level of service (LOS) standards are defined; look at SANDAG changes in
trip generation rates for mixed use
Developers need flexibility in land use and development standards and certainty in the
plan and approval process [this was reiterated several times]. For example, Anaheim
Triangle plans.
Define an area based on its existing or desired character rather than land use (form
based code).
Developer can only build so much parking. Shared parking between office and
residential reduces costs and area devoted to parking. Parking at higher densities will
drive developer's costs and the feasibility of the project.
Consider incentives. For example, Escondido is doing away with parking constraints.
Consider multi-level parking garages and incentives to build them near the coast (area
#1). Design controls in this city are good enough to ensure good design of garages.
People do not mind walking nowadays; they will park a few blocks away.
Local Facilities Master Plans: Consider adjusting the boundaries to include more of the
opportunity sites to remove some of the burden of public facilities.
Some properties shown are in open space areas and are affected by the open space
ordinance. Requirements are to mitigate for open spaces within the city limits.
Consider changes to slope regulations. This could create opportunities for development
on sloped areas adjacent to residential and industrial.
Carlsbad has sold itself on being a low-density, high-quality community. Residents living
here have that expectation. How do potential density/intensity increases align with core
values stated in the community vision?
Page 3 of 6
Envision Carlsbad Phase 2
Development Community Alternatives Brainstorming Notes (June 8, 2011)
Carlsbad is the most expensive city to work with. Professional staff, but restrictive
regulations. City "gave up" on its best sites for commercial: Cannon Road and El Camino
Real, El Camino Real and Tamarack Avenue; MAG properties. Commercial uses should
be at major intersections, not mid-block, e.g., Robertson Ranch. The community has to
buy-in for this to work. If community members do not want to drive so far for goods and
services, we need to develop these sites, not push retailers to neighboring cities.
Need to complete roads: Cannon Road (to Oceanside or Vista) and College Avenue.
Consider changes to fee program: integrated for shared uses and phased over the
development period, like paying back a loan.
City has two well-used tools at its disposal: master plans and development agreements.
These allow both the developer and the community to achieve their objectives.
Evaluate existing master plans and consider updating if appropriate.
Developers need incentives and want options. Not feasible to redevelop a one-story
building into two stories because value of existing structure(s) must be factored into
development costs. Need city partnership to fulfill community objectives (e.g. city-built
infrastructure as an incentive.)

Follow-up emails received from workshop participants:
From: Todd Galarneau
Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2011 5:08 PM
To: Gary Barberio; Don Neu
Subject: GP Update
Thanks for including me in the discussion yesterday. It's been awhile since I had the chance to
brainstorm planning policy. It reminded me of my city days!
One other thing that may be worth considering is either modifying selected thresholds directly,
or including a policy that such modifications should be considered, for key areas where the City
believes that densification is desired or where infrastructure is at or approaching capacity. The
City of Chula Vista took a similar approach a few years back by creating a separate LOS for the
western revitalization area. This accomplishes a couple objectives - it reduces or eliminates a
key CEQA target and, it can result in a reduced need for future facilities which translates into
lower DIP fees and more viable development opportunities. This is probably most applicable in
areas where the City is looking to create a more urban experience.
I think it was Don that asked the group how flexibility translates into certainty for the developer
during the entitlement process. I don't think that it gives more certainty, but it does give the
development industry greater latitude in designing a project that is market responsive. If the
City provides the vision, and a character statement along with some general goals and policies
to provide structure, flexibility can be a win-win for both parties as it will increase developer
interest and will expand the possible solutions which should lead to more innovative design. I
don't think the group was expecting the City to give complete flexibility - in fact we wouldn't
want this - but rather give enough such that the design solution for a particular property is not
prescribed or unduly constrained. If the flexibility is guided by a clear vision and character
statement, I believe it can be a positive for the community as well.
Another lesson we learned with our Millenia project was that proximity to employment is a key
indicator of success for urban residential densities. There was some discussion yesterday about
mid-rise residential and this type of urban residential in a bit of a niche product and if you are
looking at adding this to the GP then its location should be carefully thought out.
Lastly, when discussing policies for mixed use development it would be beneficial to define
that term as applying to both vertical and horizontal mixed use.
Thanks again for the invite and the opportunity to share my two-cents worth.

Gary,
Thank you for inviting me to the workshop last week. I thought that was a good presentation
and the dialogue I hope was helpful.
Could you provide me an electronic version of power point and maps?
Also much to my amazement I received a notice from Carlsbad regarding proposed fee
increases. It's hard for me to fathom that in this economy the City is going to consider fee
increases.
I left a voice message for Charles McBride requesting an electronic copy of the fee schedule. If
you have one and can pass it along it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Alternative Concepts
Concept A: CENTERS
The Centers Concept directs development to the Village and several new neighborhood
centers. The centers are placed in strategic, visible locations along transit, and distributed
to maximize accessibility from residential neighborhoods. Each center will include local
shopping as a pedestrian-oriented focus for the surrounding neighborhood, accessible to
local residents. High and Medium Density housing, in addition to new parks and open
spaces, would surround the retail centers or be integrated in mixed-use buildings. While
some centers will be neighborhood oriented, others —such as the Village and the
redeveloped Plaza Camino Real—would be citywide draws.
A significant majority of the city's housing needs will be accommodated in the centers,
enabling people to live close to shops and services and along transit corridors. All centers
will have transit access—bus or rail —and pedestrian connections between the centers and
the surrounding neighborhoods will be improved to enhance walkability.
New centers will be located along El Camino Real and adjacent to the Poinsettia Coaster
Station. The Village and Barrio will see increases in housing and amenities as well, while
the Power Plant will be redeveloped with hotels, retail, and other non-residential uses.
Concept B: ACTIVE WATERFRONT
The Active Waterfront Concept will place greater development along the waterfront,
enabling residences, hotels, and other uses to be close to the ocean. Residents and visitors
will enjoy waterfront dining, shopping, and lingering experience in clusters of restaurants,
cafes, and smaller stores. The Power Plant will be developed with a mix of residential and
hotel uses, with community-accessible open spaces along Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
About half of the city's new residential growth will be in the waterfront focus areas (focus
areas 1, 8, and 9). Plaza Camino Real will have a mix of uses, while Quarry Creek will
have a small college campus as well as new adjacent residential uses.
Concept C: CORE FOCUS
In this concept, new residential and commercial uses will be placed at strategic locations at
the edges of Carlsbad's employment core in the geographic center of the city—enabling
workers to live close to jobs, and stores and restaurants to enjoy patronage from both
residents and workers. Shuttles and enhanced bicycle and pedestrian paths would link
residential and employment clusters. Because some sites currently envisioned for
employment uses will instead be developed with residential and commercial uses,
building intensities for office and industrial uses will be somewhat higher, ensuring
enough capacity for continued growth.
Just over a third of the new housing growth will be in central Carlsbad, while the rest will
be dispersed at different locations. The Power Plant and southern portion of Carlsbad
Boulevard will focus more on hotel and commercial uses.
