r •✓ . ,> . y Statement to the Cnrlsbad Plann1ng Comm1ss1on Megard1np; the
Report or the Land Use Element Review Comm1ttee 6 /19/85
I com!!!end the Land Use Elenent Review Co~mittee for 1ts
d111p;ence 1n prepar1nr, 1 ts report. ! appre ciate the time and
errort spent by the committee.
The uae or Carlsbad's l~nd wi ll do much to determine the
ruture qual1ty or 11re 1n our city. That's why 1t ,,as so import-
ant that mel!lbers or the Comr.iittee re~resent to the ~,reatest ex-
tent possible the th1nk1ng and concerns or most of the c1t1zens
rea1ding in Carlsbad today. I seriously quest1on 1r the Cor.unittee
did that. Although I concur with ~uch or the report. l believe
the 1ntereats or most of our c1t1zens would be promoted by adop-
tion or ~Y or the committee m1nor1ty's recommendations.
I atrongl_v endorse the m1nority's recommendations or rour
goala to be added to the Land Use F.lement for tim1ng growth
(those are on page 5 or the report ) and the two polic1es to be
added to aupport tim1n6 or those goals.
Further, I strongly support the rr.1nor1ty's contention th~t
the existing Land Use Element 1s inadequate as to open space.
prol'IIOt1ng protection or the natural environment. ~ensity ranges
(many or ua continue to be appalled at the present density of some
housing developments). agriculture, and concem ror pre~ent c1tizens.
I auppcrt many or the committee minority's recommendations to
strengthen all or those areas of the LAnd Use Element.
In particular, I support further narrowine toe RM density
range by reducing toe maximur.i density rroo 9 to 8 dwelling units
per acre. I think the idea or8 more objective ratlnp, ayatem for
detenlL1.n1ng <1ena1ty la a eood one.
I ravor a derinite population
mended l-0,000 by t~e year 2025.

I strongly agree that the committee recommended
measures to preserve ag~1culture fall short and endorse the ll\1n -
or1ty'a recommendat1ona,
Finally, I ur~e the Clty to appoint a representative c1t1zens
col!llllttee to rev1ew the Land Use Element a t least every f1ve
years and, prererably , p:1ven Carlsbad's rapid growth , every three
years.
