Re: Annual Open Space Status Report for Fiscal Year 2020-21 (Districts -All)
This memorandum provides information regarding the Annual Open Space Report for fiscal year
(FY) 2020-21.
Background
Beginning FY 2016-17, the City of Carlsbad has produced and made publicly available an Annual
Open Space Status Report (report). This report is completed as a requirement of a settlement
agreement involving a lawsuit related to the 2015 General Plan Update/Climate Action Plan
adoption with North County Advocates. The settlement agreement was approved by the City
Council on March 14, 2017. This report includes an up-to-date open space inventory map and
corresponding table that reports on the amount of designated open space within the city and it
documents any changes to the open space inventory that occurred over the reporting period.
Open space is grouped in the report by the city's 25 Local Facilities Management Zones (LFMZ) as
well as categorized by four General Plan open space categories, which are shown below:
1. Preservation of Natural Resources;
2. Managed Production of Resources;
3. Outdoor Recreation; and
4. Aesthetic Cultural and Educational Purposes.
This report provides a brief narrative description of the non-technical changes to open space
acreages that have occurred since the previous reporting year. The report will be available to
view on the open space webpage by Monday, Sept. 6, 2021, using the following link:

space
Discussion
The FY 2020-21 report concluded that no significant changes occurred to any designated open
space areas during the FY reporting period. A .038-acre trail easement (approximately 1,650
square feet) was added for outdoor recreation purposes (Category 3) in LFMZ 1. This addition is
minor in nature and resulted in no percentage change in LFMZ 1 or in the city's total open space
area from the previous report.
