AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 8 OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE BY
AMENDING CHAPTER 8.36 AND SECTIONS 8.28.050 AND 8.44.040 AND BY
ADDING CHAPTERS 8.34 AND 8.38 TO ADDRESS QUALITY OF LIFE
CONCERNS
EXHIBIT 1
WHEREAS, the purpose of the foregoing proposed amended and new provisions is to address
increasing health, safety, and environmental concerns with unlawful encampments and storage of
persona I property, unauthorized fires on public property, obstruction of public property and trespass
on private property open to the patronage of the public, disorderly conduct, open containers and
consumption of alcohol in public, and solicitation; and
WHEREAS, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held in Martin v. City of Boise that an ordinance
violates the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment if it imposes criminal
sanctions against homeless individuals for sleeping outdoors, on public property, when no alternative
shelter is available to them; and
WHEREAS, the holding in Martin v. City of Boise is narrow in that it does not permit individuals
to sit, lie, or sleep on the streets at any time or at any place; nor does it prohibit cities from regulating
camping and storage of personal property. Rather, the court found that even if shelter is unavailable,
an ordinance may constitutionally prohibit sitting, lying, or sleeping outside at particular times or in
' particular locations, and an ordinance could bar the obstruction of public rights of way or the erection
of certain structures; and
WHEREAS, the city has an interest in balancing the needs of all city residents, businesses and
visitors for clean, healthy, and safe public areas; and
WHEREAS, the city also has an interest in protecting its economic viability and preventing blight
in publicly accessible areas, especially those near residential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the proposed ordi na nee package would further the purpose of Title 8, of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, which is designed to protect public peace, morals, and safety, while at the
same time fit within the limitations set forth in Martin v. City of Boise and other applicable federal and
state authorities; and
Oct. 12, 2021 Item #6 Page 3 of 14
WHEREAS, as to proposed Chapter 8.34 entitled "Solicitation," this chapter is further intended
to protect the compelling interest of public safety as against certain abusive conduct of persons
engaged in solicitation, by imposing reasonable time, manner, and place restrictions on solicitation
while respecting the constitutional rights of free speech for all citizens; and
WHEREAS, existing ordinances under Title 8 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code do not adequately
address the escalating health,. safety, and environmental concerns and increased calls for service
associated with unauthorized encampments, storage of personal property in public, unauthorized fires
on public property, obstruction and trespass of public and private property open to the patronage of
the public, disorderly conduct, possession and consumption of open alcohol containers in public, and
solicitation; and
WHEREAS, these amendments and additions to the Carlsbad Municipal Code are intended to
regulate unlawful, repeated, and compounding conduct that negatively impacts community members'
quality of life, health, and/or safety.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, does ordain as follows:
Section 1.
Section 2.

The above recitations are true and correct.

8.36.010 Purpose.
Public places within the city should be readily accessible to residents and the public at large. The use
of public places for camping can interfere with the rights of others to use these places for the purposes
for which they were intended. Camping in these places can also endanger the public health and the
environment when camping~related waste and human waste are disposed of improperly, particularly
in environmentally sensitive areas, such as native habitat, open spaces and watercourses. Human
presence in open spaces, other than on designated trails, can also increase the risk of wildfire danger
and possible injuries to and from threatened wildlife. Additionally, camping on private outdoor
property without permission of the owner or lessee interferes with the owner or lessee's property
rights and desire to utilize the private outdoor property for lawful and authorized purposes.
The purpose of this chapter is to maintain public places and private outdoor property within the city in
a clean and accessible condition and to protect the public health, safety, and environment by ensuring
that camping occurs only in those designated areas where appropriate provisions have been made for
handling camping-related waste, food preparation, and fires ..

Restriction on hours.
Severability.
Oct. 12, 2021 Item #6 Page 8 of 14
8.34.010 Purpose.
This chapter is intended to improve the quality of life and economic vitality of the city, and-to protect
the safety of the general public against certain abusive conduct of persons engaged in solicitation, by
imposing reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on solicitation while respecting the
constitutional rights of free speech for all citizens. Motorists have complained of solicitation activity
near signaled intersections and highway ramps, where solicitors have approached their vehicles. This
carries an implicit threat to both person and property. Similarly, the city seeks to prevent threatening
and dangerous solicitation in sensitive areas such as city parking lots or parking structures during the
evening hours. Restricting solicitation in these places will provide a balance between the rights of
solicitors and the rights of persons who wish to decline or avoid solicitations and will help prevent
potential violent confrontations.

other means with the purpose of obtaining an immediate donation of money or other thing of
value or soliciting the sale of goods or services. However, passively standing, sitting, or performing
music while holding a sign, with no further conduct or spoken word, except in response to an
inquiry, is exempt from this definition and regulation under this chapter. This chapter is not
intended to restrict the exercise of protected free speech.

aggressive manner in any public place after first being warned by a law enforcement officer.

· soliciting orders for the sale of any merchandise, product, service, or thing whatsoever when the
occupant of such property has given notice or warned such persons to keep away. A sign posted by the
occupant of the property, with the words "no solicitors," "no peddlers," or other similar words, at or
near the front door or primary entrance to a residential structure on private property, shall constitute
sufficient notice or warning pursuant to this section. For any property used for a purpose other than a
residential use, such notice may be posted at each public entrance to any structure on the property in
any conspicuous location on the property, in such a manner so as to provide reasonable notice of the
restriction.

Purpose.
Definitions.
Unlawful obstruction of property.
Trespass on parking lots, shopping center prop~rty, and other private property open
to the patronage of the public.
Disorderly conduct.
Severability.
8.38.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to maintain public and private property open to the: patronage of the
public in an orderly and accessible condition to protect public health, safety, and welfare. The
obstruction of or trespass upon these areas can interfere with the rights of others to use these areas
for the purposes for which they were intended. Pedestrians, the elderly, disabled, and vision-
impaired are put at increased risk when they must see and navigate around individuals sitting or lying
upon a public walkway or otherwise obstructing public access. In some circumstances, people sitting
or lying on public walkways deter members of the public from frequenting those areas. This, in turn,
contributes to an erosion of the essential economic viability of those areas. Business failures and
relocations can cause vacant storefronts, contributing to deterioration and blight, which harms the
public health, safety, and welfare.
The city recognizes that there is a fundamental need to rest and sleep and desires to accommodate
that need while also satisfying the needs of the general public to travel freely and safely throughout
the city. The limited regulation of obstruction or trespass on public property or private property open
to the patronage of the public is reasonably necessary and appropriately balances the public interest
and individual rights.
8.38.020 Definitions.
All definitions provided in Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 8.36, Section 8.36.020 are applicable to
this chapter. Additionally, as used in this chapter:
"Loitering" is defined as delaying or lingering in any one place without a lawful purpose under
circumstances that would warrant a reasonable person to believe that the purpose or effect is to
commit a crime or to conceal illegal activities.
8.38.030 Unlawful obstruction of property.
A. It is unlawful for any person, after first being warned by a law enforcement officer, or where a sign
or signs have been posted in accordance with this chapter, to loiter, stand, sit, lie, sleep, maintain,
or leave any objects, possessions, or structures in any manner that partially or completely blocks,
obstructs, prevents, or otherwise hinders the free movement of people who may or may not yet
be present at the location in question, or in any manner that impedes passage in contravention of
federal or state disability access laws, either:
1. Upon any public sidewalk, street, curb, parkway, crosswalk, walkway or pathway area,
highway, or park, or
2. Upon any shopping center or other private property open to the patronage of the public.
Oct. 12, 2021 Item #6 Page 11 of 14
B. It is unlawful for any person, object, or possession to partially or completely block, obstruct,
prevent, or otherwise hinder the free access to the entrance to any building open to the public,
whether or not other persons are present at the location in question.
8.38.040 Trespass on parking lots, shopping center property, and other private property open to
the patronage of the public.
It is unlawful for any person, after first being warned by a law enforcement officer, or where a sign or
signs have been posted in accordance with this chapter, to remain on, wander, idle, or loiter on any
parking lot, shopping center property, or any other private property open to the patronage of the
public, without visible or lawful business with the owner or occupant or without the written
permission of the owner, the person entitled to immediate possession or the authorized agent of
either. This section does not apply to a public officer or employee acting within the course and scope
of employment.
8.38.050 Disorderly conduct.
A. It is unlawful for a person to commit any of the following acts with the intent to cause another
person annoyance, alarm, or disturbance, or with the intent to interfere with another person's
lawful discharge or pursuit of any lawful business or occupation:
1. Engaging in fighting or in violent, tumultuous, or threatening behavior that would put a
reasonable person in fear for the person's safety; or
2. Using language that a reasonable person would consider offensive, lewd, vulgar, profane,
threatening, abusive, or insulting, within the hearing range of another person in any public
place or any place open to the patronage of the public; or
3. Uttering or using within the hearing of another person any language, words, epithets,
expressions, or remarks, either intended to or likely to incite or create a breach of the peace;
or
4. Encouraging by words or conduct, disobedience to any lawful order or request of any law
enforcement officer pursuant to and in the performance of the officer's duties; or
5. Making or participating in making any unreasonably loud noise or engaging in offensive
conduct or behavior, as measured by an objectively reasonable person standard, in any public
place or any place open to the patronage of the public.
B. It is unlawful for a person to commit any of the acts specified in Section 8.38.0S0(A) with reckless
disregard for the risk of causing another person annoyance, alarm, or disturbance, or of interfering
with another person's lawful discharge or pursuit of any lawful business or occupation.
. C. It is unlawful for a person to congregate with two or more other persons in any public place, or in
any place open to the patronage of the public, when the purpose of congregating is, by words,
acts, or conduct generallyoffensive to the community, to annoy, disturb, or interfere with another
