Executive Summary The City of Carlsbad conducts an annual Hazard Reduction Program to eliminate fire hazards and nuisances caused by the accumulation of dry weeds and rubbish on vacant lots within the city. As noted in California Government Code Sections 39560-39588, the City Council may declare weeds, rubbish and refuse on private property as public nuisances. This is the second of three reports for the Hazard Reduction Program. Staff recommends scheduling a public hearing for July 27, 2021 to consider the final Hazard Reduction Cost Report. Discussion The Fire Department completed its annual hazard survey and identified 150 parcels that now have, or are likely to have, potential hazards during the drier months. On March 23, 2021, the City Council declared these parcels as public nuisances. On March 24, 2021, the Fire Department mailed notices to the affected property owners explaining the City Council’s action, and informing them of the public hearing on April 20, 2021. For reference, the notice mailed to property owners is attached as Exhibit 2 and the parcel list is attached as Exhibit 3. After May 15, 2021, hazards that have not been removed by property owners will be subject to removal by the city. The public hearing is an opportunity for property owners to voice objections to the parcels declared as nuisances. Costs associated with weed abatement of a parcel are forwarded to the San Diego County Tax Assessor for inclusion in property tax bills. This occurs at the close of the program in August, after the City Council has an opportunity to hear any objections from property owners. April 20, 2021 Item #5 Page 1 of 13 Options Adopting the proposed resolution will enable city staff to address weeds, rubbish and refuse on private property as public nuisances. Not adopting this resolution would result in the city not being able to mitigate these potential hazards. Fiscal Analysis City administrative and contractor costs associated with weed abatement work are recoverable from property owners. The Carlsbad Fire Department’s operating budget has sufficient funds for weed abatement expenditures in the current year. Expenditures will be recouped on property tax bills in the following year. Next Steps The city will use a contractor for weed abatement work starting May 16, 2021. All work will be completed by June 30, 2021. A public hearing will be scheduled on July 27, 2021 for the City Council to consider and confirm the final Hazard Reduction Cost Report. Staff will forward the report to the San Diego County Tax Assessor for costs associated with weed abatement work for inclusion in property tax bills. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) This action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code section 21065 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. Public Notification and Outreach Public notice of this item was posted in keeping with the state's Ralph M. Brown Act and it was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date. Exhibits 1. City Council resolution 2.

Fuel modification shall conform to the standard requirements. Further information may be obtained from the Carlsbad Fire Department Fire Prevention Division at (760) 602-4665. C. Native brush and chaparral that have not been previously cleared or modified in the past five years must be assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the removal will conflict with the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1993.

Fuel breaks of 60 feet or more that have been previously required in the past five years shall be maintained by mowing. New fuel breaks may be required on a case-by-case basis and owners of affected properties will be notified by mail before abatement. E. Abatement shall be accomplished by power mowing to three inches in height. In some areas, such as fuel breaks or problem areas involving hazards to mowing equipment, discing may be approved.

PUBLISH DATE: APRIL 9, 2021 CITY OF CARLSBAD I CITY COUNCIL April 20, 2021 Item #5 Page 13 of 13 Tammy Cloud-McMinn From: Optimal Retirement <optimalretirement@yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, April 12, 2021 7:27 PM To: Michael Calderwood; City Clerk; Manager Internet Email; Priya Bhat-Patel Subject: Request to remove lots from Fire Marshal Notice list refund /remove weed abatement charges Attachments: Altiva fire Marshal Notice 2021.pdf; altivaPL distance JPG; Red Line altiva April 10,2021.JPG; yellow line altiva April 10,2021.JPG; Capture.JPG; SDG&E responsible to mantain lot.JPG; SDG&E email confirmation.JPG; SDG&E cleared sep 2020.JPG Dear All, [Please don't forward any response to Lawyer Kenneth Cassutt ], We have received 2021 Fire marshal notice for lot at Altiva place that owned by Optimalretirement LLC. I have visited lot on April 10.2021 and do not see any fire hazard vegetation as shown in Fire Marshal Notice[please see attached current lot condition with red and yellow marking]. I consider these are invalid Fire Marshal Notices as notice should be issue based on current condition of the property as Fire Department / City is asking Citizen to comply base on that notice. So please consider this email as Complete Compliance of Fire Marshal Notice that we have received by March 2021before deadline of May 21,2021. On behalf of Optimalretirement LLC I have emailed to responsible City authorities a couple times[ But no response] and my Lawyer also wrote letters to the City Clerk [ No response] . Our Lawyer was trying to resolve issues regarding the Fire Marshal Notice that we never received in 2020 and weed abatement charges that rollover to property tax. After detailed investigation we have found out the surprising truth that has shaken our trust on the City and Fire Department. Our property at Altiva Place zoned as OS and known as APN # 215-491-46-01/02, 215-491-47-01/02 has SDG&E easement and they are maintaining property at least twice a year to prevent the possible fire damage or as and when needed.[see attached email confirmation from SDG&E]. Rest of our lot area is back yard or front yard of the surrounding houses that have their own landscape or pool towards my company's lot line and distance is not meeting as per fire Marshal notice Zone1. Hence between the PL and SDG&E access road nothing left that we as the lot owner needs to clear or will help to prevent any possible fire! I believe so far always totally misleading information has been provided at council meetings since many years based on vague documentation / old satellite pictures that are not always current. For your reference look at the fact about the misleading Fire Marshal Notice I am attaching some current pictures of the property! 1 I do not see any fire hazard vegetation, do you? Plus PL is as described in Fire Marshal notice for Home Owners not for OS lot owner. I have also attached that google map with PL distance. So please remove our property from the list of fire marshal notice. Not to mention as per history of California Fire, the most possible cause of fire is SDG&E and that is why SDG&E takes extra precaution going some extra mile and clears the vegetation even they don't have easement in entire San Diego County [please see attached SDG&E easement doc]. Also void charges that City has attached to our tax roll as we haven't received any fire marshal notice for year 2020, neither received any work detail or before and after pictures of the work that done by the CITY. Also refund us 2019 weed abatement charges that has already paid out of ignorance, trusting fair practice of the City and Fire Department. Now we know Lot is maintain by SDG&E then why City should do weed abatement or even issue invalid notices to lot owners? Thanking you in anticipation for fair quick direct response.
