Discussion As part of the redistricting process, staff is actively seeking input from the community to assist the Independent Redistricting Commission in understanding the community’s needs, values and priorities related to communities of interest and district boundaries. Since Oct. 16, the city received one additional response to the community survey about communities of interest, which are communities that should stay together for the purpose of electing a City Council member, starting with the November 2022 election. The response is included in Exhibit 1. The city also received feedback via some of the communication channels the city has established, including the project’s email address, redistricting@carlsbadca.gov, and on the city’s social media channels. Fiscal Analysis This action has no fiscal impact. Environmental Evaluation In keeping with California Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act 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. Therefore, it does not require environmental review. Public Notification and Outreach This item was noticed in keeping with the Ralph M. Brown Act and it was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date. Exhibits 1.Input received through Nov. 14, 2021 Meeting Date: Nov. 18, 2021 Nov. 18, 2021 Item #2 Page 1 of 26 COMPLETE Survey response #152 Collector: Web Link 1 (Web Link) Started: Monday, November 01, 2021 2:53:28 PM Last Modified: Monday, November 01, 2021 3:12:20 PM Time Spent: 00:18:52 IP Address: 76.176.133.115 Language: English Page 1 Q1 What interests and activities do your community or neighborhood share? Schools, Cole Library, Buena Vista Park, beach from Oceanside to Tamarack, Downtown Carlsbad, tourist season, tourists, Oceanside Target store, The Shoppes, Q2 If you had to name your community or neighborhood, what would you call it? Established Carlsbad Q3 What are the geographic boundaries of your community? Examples include cross streets, natural elements like the coastline or landmarks like parks. Beach from Oceanside to Tamarack, everything north of Agua Hedionda Lagoon, then all the way up to El Camino, everything north of either Tamarack or Cannon Rd up to Vista border. Q4 What brings your community together? What is important to your community? We are older, more established homes with new home construction consisting mainly of in-fill. Q5 What do you like about the current boundaries? I think, but am not sure, District 1 has a large Hispanic vote and it’s important to keep that vote in same District. 303 / 304 Exhibit 1 Nov. 18, 2021 Item #2 Page 2 of 26 Redistricting Survey Q6 What would you change about the current district boundaries? The current boundary seems to cut off the more affluent homes from District 1, placing them instead in District 2. Specifically the jagged boundary from Agua Hedionda to Chestnut. It’s just odd- one side of a street is District 1 and your neighbors on the other side of the same street are in District 2. Q7 Do you represent a group? If so, which one? None Q8 What ZIP code do you call home? 92008 Q9 Would you like to be added to our email list for project updates? Respondent skipped this question 304 / 304 Nov. 18, 2021 Item #2 Page 3 of 26 Emails From: Thompsmg To: redistricting Subject: RE: Recording of Oct 28 Redistricting Commission Session Date: Wednesday, November 3, 2021 11:06:23 AM Thank you!

As I sit back and reflect, there are really two things we, as a community can do: 1. Status Quo – Keep 4 districts and “mess-around-with” boundaries 2. Wholesale change – I submit the Bonafide version of this Change. a. Stop kidding ourselves that this is a 4 district town. It is NOT. It is a 6 district city b. Stop kidding ourselves that every district needs a piece of the coast. – NO! a coastal district is WAAAAY different than an inland district. Stop trying to homogenize what is naturally heterogenous. Please see my “sloppy boundary” plan submitted: "Bonafide Districting 75058" I am not going to waste your time with a bunch of words. The current districts are West:to:East and Nov. 18, 2021 Item #2 Page 8 of 26 should be South:to:North and they are too small – we need six. Best of luck!

While I understand the concept of "communities of like interest" and how that might apply to folks with a common language, ethnicity, and of a socio-economic class. I also think there are certain core interests Nov. 18, 2021 Item #2 Page 10 of 26 like faith practice, medical autonomy, and family directed education (i.e homeschooling families) that really draw people groups from every culture and socio-economic class together. I believe that the latter three may be underrepresented due to the traditional methods used to draw boundaries when redistricting and I would like to know if the City of Carlsbad has a census that measures the densities of these interests. I was unable to find filters for these on the interactive mapping tool, but would like to know if you could provide me with information about these or point me in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Adam Hardesty C'bad resident since 2006.

Total housing units shown is 2,828. All but 325 unit are located North of Palomar Airport Rd in current district 1 & 2 with rough balance. The 325 unit are located just South of Palomar Airport Rd. There are No units shown for current District 4. Using a factor of 2 would yield an additional population of 5,656. Using a factor of 3 would yield an additional population of 8,484. The expected population growth needs to be taken into account when sizing each district. To aid in maintaining a nearer balance in district size for the next 10 years, based upon the Census the Northern districts of Carlsbad should have lower population count then the Southern districts of Carlsbad and the Southern districts of Carlsbad should have a higher population count than the Northern districts with all being within the 10% rule.

Data that should have been released in April 2021 did not come out until August. Then, the State of California did its new prisoner adjustments of the data. That was not finalized until September 27, 2021. In an effort to help the Carlsbad Independent Redistricting Commission get started and engage the public, we decided to elevate the first available redistricting tools as soon as possible with estimated population data. The demographic elements from the American Community Survey are actuals. We were pleased that the paper mapping kits have been updated with final population data already and expect to have District R updated shortly. Under this plan, members of the public have been able to engage in the process with both tools without delay. Any maps created on District R can be updated once final California-adjusted population data is uploaded. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if I can be of further assistance.
