Subject: Review the Historic Preservation Commission FY 2023-24 Work Plan
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution recommending approval of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Historic Preservation
Commission Work Plan.
Executive Summary
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.15.020(C) requires that each board or commission provide
to the City Council for its approval an annual work plan of activities to be undertaken in the
coming year or years and to provide a subsequent report of its accomplishments. Attached for
Historic Preservation Commission consideration is a report of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Work Plan
accomplishments and the proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 Work Plan.
Discussion
In 2018, the City Council revised the municipal code to create uniform policies and procedures
related to boards and commissions, including a requirement for annual work plans. The
purpose of the work plan is to encourage increased dialogue between the city’s boards and
commissions and the City Council. It is also intended to ensure that the boards and
commissions are working in line with the City Council’s priorities. Although a work plan was
reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission on May 9, 2022, the work plan was never
presented to the City Council. The unadopted work plan for the commission contains several
items. Commissioners have volunteered to work on these and many items are complete.
At its March 13, 2023 meeting, Commissioners will discuss the proposed FY 2023-24 Work Plan
(Exhibit 1) and identify opportunities to assist with items on the work plan. The draft FY 2023-
24 Work Plan is shorter than in past years, but includes projects most likely to be brought to the
Historic Preservation Commission over the next year given current resources. The work plan
represents top priority projects based the factors listed above. Staff also maintains a list of “on-
deck” projects (also shown in Exhibit 1) that are not included in the draft FY 2023-24 Work Plan
as a way to keep track of projects for inclusion in future work programs. Though “on-deck”
projects are not included in the draft FY 2023-24 Work Plan, they may be brought to the
Historic Preservation Program if the issue becomes more pressing and/or the opportunity arises

to elevate the project. Furthermore, “On deck” projects (or specific aspects of projects) may be
bundled with related projects for efficiency.
After feedback is received, at the same meeting the Commission will need to adopt the
attached resolution to formally recommend that the City Council accept the priority projects
list. After the FY 2023-24 Work Plan is adopted by the City Council, the Historic Preservation
Commission and staff will focus efforts on the activities listed in the approved Work Plan.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving this information report.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a “project”
within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 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
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to scheduled meeting date.
