Executive Summary
The budget for fiscal year 2020‐21 was developed around maintaining the city’s fiscal health
while supporting economic recovery, with a focus on resiliency over the long‐term during this
time of economic uncertainty caused by the COVID‐19 health pandemic and the resulting state
stay‐at‐home order.
The City of Carlsbad Capital Improvement Program reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to
maintaining the highest standards of quality facilities for our community, both today and in the
future. It is a planning document, not a commitment for future spending. The 15‐year program
outlines the expenditure plan for future capital projects and the corresponding revenues to pay
for those expenditures.
Discussion
Overview
The annual budget is the most significant expression of how City Council policies are translated
into daily operations. The City Council sets the overall policy direction for Carlsbad and helps
staff prioritize programs, projects and services to support that direction.
City Council goal‐setting has historically been an opportunity to clarify city policy priorities and
inform how resources are allocated in the city budget. Since the fall 2019 goal‐setting process
was postponed because of a City Council vacancy, staff held a workshop on Jan. 21, 2020, with
the City Council to discuss priorities. Staff checked in again with the City Council at the meeting
on April 14, 2020, and the City Council approved the following three priorities as areas of focus
for the upcoming fiscal year: economic revitalization, housing and homelessness, and mobility.
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 2 of 124
Maintaining good fiscal health remains a significant priority. Meeting this objective preserves
the city’s ability to continue providing important programs and services to the community. The
following budget principles and fiscal recovery priorities help guide the city’s evolution through
uncertain times, supporting economic recovery through changes to our policies and programs
where applicable, focusing on resiliency over the long‐term by using temporary solutions to
bridge revenue losses expected in the short‐term and seeking new ways to conduct work
through efficiencies and new platforms or service models.
The fy 2020‐21 Operating Budget totals $292.5 million citywide, which represents an increase
of $500,000, or 0.2 percent, as compared to the fy 2019‐20 adopted budget. Operating
revenues are estimated at $287.4 million, which is a decrease of $1.4 million, over the current
year’s adopted budget.
The recommended General Fund Operating Budget is $163.6 million, with estimated revenues
of $164.8 million. The chart below shows the adopted fy 2019‐20 General Fund budget as well
as the forecast for fy 2019‐20 and fy 2020‐21 as of Jan. 2020 and the updated forecast as of
May 2020. The differences between the two forecasts shows the effect of the COVID‐19
pandemic and the resulting stay‐at‐home order on the city’s finances.
General Fund estimated revenues
General Fund revenues provide a representative picture of the local economy. These revenues
are of particular interest as they pay for basic city services, such as police, fire, library and
cultural arts, street and park maintenance and recreation programs. The table below provides a
summarized outlook for the major General Fund revenues.

Until the COVID‐19 pandemic, General Fund revenues were on pace to have their best year
ever. However, the impacts of the COVID‐19 have drastically impacted the revenue from sales
tax, transient occupancy tax and income from property and investments, as well as from other
sources. The stay‐at‐home order imposed by California Governor Gavin Newsom essentially
shut down a majority of Carlsbad’s retail establishments, dine‐in restaurants and hotels.
Although these public health restrictions are slowly being lessened, a sense of normalcy is not
expected until there is a vaccine for the virus, which may not occur for six to eighteen months.
Even through this pandemic, property tax revenues are expected to weather the storm without
much of a hit, although the city does expect a small increase in delinquencies.
Just under 80% of General Fund revenues are derived from three sources: property tax, sales
tax, and transient occupancy tax, or TOT. Sales tax receipts and TOT revenues tend to be much
more sensitive to changes in economic conditions, unlike property tax revenues. Property taxes
remain relatively stable because of the mitigating effect of Proposition 13, which limits annual
growth in assessed values.
Property tax
Property tax, the largest source of General Fund revenues, is expected to grow by 2.5% in fy
2020‐ 21, as assessed values are expected to grow modestly. However, due to the recession
that has been created from the COVID‐19 crisis, the city is projecting that delinquent property
taxes will increase by 2%.
Sales tax
Sales tax revenues generally move in step with economic conditions and have heavily impacted
by the stay‐at‐home order and the recession created by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Until fy 2019‐
20, sales tax revenues had improved markedly, peaking in fy 2018‐19 at $40.8 million. However,
on March 19, 2020, the governor issued a stay‐at‐home order for the State of California,
shutting down retail establishments, dine‐in restaurants and non‐essential businesses. Then, on
March 31, 2020, the governor issued an executive order granting a three‐month extension for
small businesses to file their quarterly sales tax returns. This will delay sales tax revenues for
the city by up to one calendar year. Because of effects of the stay‐at‐home order, the ensuing

projected recession and the tax relief given to small businesses, it’s projected that sales tax
revenues for fy 2019‐20 will decrease by 9% over the revenue received in fy 2018‐19.
The city is projecting that the stay‐at‐home order will be partially lifted some time during the
month of June 2020, but the national economy will still be in a recession. Without the public
health order impacting sales tax revenues, and with small businesses beginning to pay their
deferred sales taxes to the state, sales tax revenue for fy 2020‐21 is expected to decrease by
2.2% to $36.3 million. This is still below the sales tax peak of $40.8 million in fiscal year 2018‐19.
Some of the decrease in sales tax revenues will be partially offset by an increase in internet
sales revenue generated from Assembly Bill 147 or the Wayfair law, which went into effect in
October 2019.1
Transient occupancy tax
The third highest General Fund revenue source is TOT, or hotel tax. TOT is forecasted to
decrease by 30% in fy 2020‐21 when compared to fy 2018‐19 actuals. This downward trend
began in fy 2019‐20, due to the impacts of COVID‐19 on Carlsbad’s tourism industry. Many
hotels have had to shut down during this time; however, it is anticipated that hotels will slowly
begin to recover in fy 2020‐21. The recessionary impacts on tourism are expected to last at
least for the next 18 months. The assumptions used in budgeting TOT for fy 2020‐21 include:
Occupancy rates between 45%‐50% for the summer of 2020
Occupancy rates between 50%‐60% from fall 2020 to spring of 2021
Occupancy rates between 60%‐70% during spring break 2021
Average daily rates to initially decrease by 30%
Average daily rates improving to a 20% decrease by the end of fiscal year 2020‐21
General Fund budgeted expenditures
The General Fund contains most of the discretionary revenues that fund basic core city services.
The table below provides a summary of General Fund expenditures by type.
1AB 147 imposed the obligation to pay sales taxes on businesses outside California that deliver more than
$500,000 in sales for delivery in the state. It followed the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v.
Wayfair, Inc., in which the court upheld the South Dakota law requiring out‐of‐state sellers without physical
presences in the state to collect sales tax on all sales in the state depending on how much business they do in the
state.

Position changes
No new full or part‐time positions are proposed for the next fiscal year because of the current
environment caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. The current city workforce consists of 747.75
permanent full‐ and three‐quarter time employees and 186.19 hourly, full‐time equivalent
positions.
Transfers to other funds and City Council contingency
The fy 2020‐21 Preliminary Operating Budget also includes the following General Fund transfers
to other funds:
$5.5 million, split between the Infrastructure Replacement Fund ($1 million) and the
General Capital Construction Fund ($4.5 million) for major new construction,
maintenance and/or replacement of city infrastructure and facilities. This represents 3%
of the General Fund revenues, which is a decrease from the 6% transfer that was
approved for fy 2019‐20. This percentage was reduced to minimize the impact to
personnel and maintenance and operations expenditure reductions in the General Fund
in response to the economic environment caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. This
transfer percentage will be evaluated again during the next budget cycle.
$309,000 to the Stormwater Program for reimbursement for the General Fund portion
of stormwater expenses.
$700,000 to the Median Maintenance Special Revenue Fund to cover cash shortfalls,
because annual assessments collected from property owners do not cover annual
operating expenditures. Annual assessments can only be increased with a majority vote
of the property owners.
$500,000 to the Golf Course Enterprise Fund is budgeted and will be transferred if
additional cash is needed to cover current operating expenses of the golf course over
the next fiscal year. The golf course plans to phase in a compliant COVID‐19 response
operational plan in golf and food and beverage to allow revenues to reestablish.
Finally, the City Council contingency is budgeted at $1.5 million for fy 2020‐21, which is equal to
the fy 2019‐20 amount. This money is available to the City Council to cover the costs of
unanticipated emergencies or unforeseen program needs throughout the year.
Other funds
Enterprise fund revenues, including those from water, wastewater services and solid waste
management and the city’s golf course, are projected at $79.1 million, a $433,000, or 0.6
percent, increase over projected fy 2019‐20 revenues. The budgeted expenditures are
estimated at $83.5 million for fy 2020‐21, which is an increase of $907,000, or 1.1 percent, over
the fy 2019‐20 adopted budget. The Potable Water and Recycled Water Funds continue to
cover the cost of operating and maintaining critical infrastructure systems and provides for the
safe delivery of drinking water, conservation outreach and treated irrigation water. The
Wastewater Fund provides reliable wastewater collection services.
Revenues from special revenue funds are expected to total $13.7 million in fy 2020‐21, a
decrease of $1.9 million or 12% percent from fy 2019‐20 estimates. The types of programs
supported within special revenue funds are those funded by specific revenue streams such as
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 6 of 124
federal grants (rental assistance and community development block grants), special fees and
assessments (affordable housing and maintenance assessment districts) and donations (library,
cultural arts, recreation and senior donations).
The most noteworthy changes in the special revenue funds occurred in the Affordable Housing
Fee Fund, which shows a decrease of $585,000 and the Agriculture Mitigation Fee Fund, which
shows a decrease of $240,000. Affordable housing fees and agriculture mitigation fees are
related to development and can fluctuate significantly from year‐to‐year. Revenues from grants
and donations also are expected to decline slightly. These donations are generally one‐time
revenues and tend to fluctuate from year‐to‐year.
Expenditures for special revenue funds, at $14.6 million, show a minor decrease of less than
one percent, or $104,000, when compared to fy 2019‐20. Spending in most programs is to
remain at similar or slightly lower levels over the prior year.
Expenditure increases of $100,000, or 30%, are planned in the Library Gifts & Bequest Fund for
books, materials and supplies to help supplement budget reductions in the Library & Cultural
Arts Department’s operating budget in the General Fund as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Similar expenditure increases are planned in the Police Asset Forfeiture Fund to pay for needed
police equipment. The budget in this fund has increased $316,000 or 236% when compared to
the prior fiscal year. A higher than normal revenue amount was received during fy 2019‐20,
which enables the increase in spending for the next fiscal year.
More information on all of the city’s projected revenues and operating budget
recommendations can be found in the attached exhibits.
Changes to the fy 2020‐21 Operating Budget from Preliminary to Final
The following changes were made to the operating budget since the preliminary budget was
presented to the City Council on June 2, 2020:
City Council Resolution No. 2020‐088 adopted on May 19, 2020, approved confined
space hazard pay for sanitation system operators and wastewater utility workers.
$40,400 in personnel expenses was added to the Wastewater Enterprise Fund to
account for this change.
An operating transfer of $40,000 from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund to the Fleet
Replacement Internal Service Fund. This transfer was needed to facilitate a vehicle re‐
assignment from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund to the Stormwater Enterprise Fund.
Capital Improvement Program
Carlsbad’s philosophy is to take a proactive, long‐range planning approach to building high
quality facilities and infrastructure that support the needs and priorities of the community.
Projects in the Capital Improvement Program, or CIP, are generally defined as any construction,
rehabilitation or replacement of major infrastructure such as streets, libraries, parks, fire
stations and administrative facilities, water, sewer and drainage facilities, and other facilities
that are located on or in the ground.
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 7 of 124
The CIP is organized into the following classifications:
Planning: Studies, plans, reports or assessments that inform the development of future
capital improvement projects. Examples include feasibility studies, master plans and
asset condition assessments
Maintenance and operations: Assets identified in technical master plans or using other
asset management tools that require defined, multi‐year programs for maintenance and
operation. Examples include repair, refurbishment or rehabilitation, modifications,
improvements, monitoring, replacement and upgrades
Capital projects: Results in the creation of a fixed asset, or revitalization of a fixed asset
with total project costs of $200,000 or more (the City Council is the contract awarding
authority); projects are non‐recurring and have a useful life of at least five years
Regulatory and policy‐driven projects: legally required or mandated, complies with the
Growth Management Plan and/or the Climate Action Plan, defined projects to
implement policies, plans and goals adopted by the City Council
Community enhancements: new facilities, expansions, parks and trails, traffic signals
and coastal improvements
Project accounting: Tracking of capital improvements financing, including loans to other
funds, repayments and transfers, reconciliation and reimbursements
Estimated budget information is shown for a 15‐year period to provide the most
comprehensive information about known future projects. All future construction costs are
estimates and are reviewed and further refined each year.
As the city continues to grow and develop, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for
development‐related services and new facilities. To ensure that the necessary infrastructure
and facilities are built on a schedule that meets or exceeds this demand, the citizens of Carlsbad
adopted a Growth Management Plan in 1986. The Growth Management Plan states that unless
an adequate level of facilities is available to meet new demands resulting from the city’s
growth, development cannot proceed. This plan is the foundation for making decisions about
the timing and prioritization of the capital projects under consideration.
Prudent financial planning has ensured ongoing funding to modernize, repair and replace
existing infrastructure projects through numerous asset management programs, which ensure
adequate inspection, maintenance, and replacement of buildings and parks, water, sewer and
drainage systems, bridges and roadways systems.
Development of the CIP is a team effort involving all operational departments, the City
Manager’s Office, the City Council and the community. Community feedback on infrastructure
needs is considered and incorporated as appropriate. Public health and safety, environmental
impacts, governing and policy documents, as well as regulatory requirements are considered.
The CIP is fully vetted at multiple levels of the city organization by appropriate staff using an
inclusive and transparent process, and reviewed on a quarterly basis.
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 8 of 124
As the CIP is implemented throughout the year, staff continually re‐evaluate the scope, costs
and schedules of projects to responsibly and cost‐effectively manage infrastructure assets at
the required levels of service throughout their lifecycle. Recommendations for project funding
consider current project status, project scheduling and sequencing requirements, project
constraints and current staff capacity. Project charters are updated to include project
descriptions, locations, summaries of needs, justifications including any legislative or policy
citations, cost estimates and project scores.
Changes for fy 2020‐21
In anticipation of revenue decreases in some capital funding sources, staff recommended
funding adjustments in fy 2020‐21 that focused on matching existing resources with realistic
and achievable project schedules. New project requests were minimized, and the city remains
committed to continue work on projects that are already underway. Existing project balances
were evaluated to determine whether additional funding was needed or if the existing balances
were adequate. During this year’s evaluation, staff identified 16 projects that they recommend
be removed from the CIP. Projects were recommended for removal when the project needs
were either found to be addressed more effectively as part of other existing projects, or were
no longer needed based on current conditions. Previously allocated funding for cancelled
projects is returned to the original funding source. A list of projects recommended for removal
are detailed in Exhibit 3B‐2.
The fy 2020‐21 CIP outlines about $29.1 million in new appropriations to provide additional
funding for the continuation of existing projects as well as funding for new projects. The
attached budget exhibit provides a detailed list of every project in the 15‐year CIP, as well as
the estimated budget for each year. The following chart details appropriations by project type:

CIP revenues
Projected revenues during the fy 2020‐21 are estimated at $34.5 million. Revenues are
generated from six major funding sources:
1. Fees generated by development in Carlsbad
2. Special district fees and taxes, such as community facilities districts and bridge and
thoroughfare benefit districts
3. Water and wastewater replacement funds
4. Infrastructure replacement funds other than those for wastewater and water
5. General capital construction funds
6. Other sources, including grants, sales taxes and contributions from other agencies
While evaluating the availability of funding, every effort was made to fund projects using the
most restrictive funding source first. In addition to evaluating the availability of capital
construction funds, operating fund impacts were also considered.
Changes to the Capital Improvement Program from preliminary to final
There is one change made to the Capital Improvement Program since the preliminary budget
was presented to the City Council on June 2, 2020. An additional $1,205,000 in TransNet
funding was added to the College Boulevard Extension project for fy 2020‐21. These funds are
available from the city’s TransNet allocation and were included in the recent 2020 update to
the TransNet Program of Projects, which was approved by the City Council on June 2, 2020.
Climate Action Plan consistency
General Plan Sustainability Element Policy 9‐P.1 calls on the city to “enforce the Climate Action
Plan as the city’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” The plan recognizes the CIP as a
tool to help carry out that strategy as it relates to city facilities and operations. Exhibit 11A
describes how the various CIP projects relate to applicable Climate Action Plan measures and
actions.
Gann appropriations limit
In addition to adopting the Operating Budget, the City Council is asked to adopt the Gann
Appropriations Limit as required by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. This limit creates
a restriction on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated for spending in any fiscal
year. The revenues which are subject to this limitation are those considered “proceeds of
taxes.” The basis for calculating the Gann limit began in fy 1978‐79 and is adjusted each year
based on population growth and inflation. The city’s spending limit for fy 2020‐21 is calculated
at $509 million and the calculation of the city’s spending projections subject to the limit is
$140.1 million, well below the legal limit for the coming fiscal year.
General fees, charges for services and development impact fees
Each year city staff evaluate and propose changes to fees and charges for services. Staff
conduct an annual review to ensure that the fees being charged do not exceed direct and
indirect costs of providing the service. A comprehensive cost of service study is prepared every
three to five years to update the calculation of the cost and confirm that fees and charges for
service do not exceed the updated cost.
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 10 of 124
This comprehensive cost of service study on most general city fees and all development service
fees is currently underway. Staff presented the preliminary findings of the Cost of Service Study
to the City Council on December 10, 2019; and received direction on some additional
information the City Council wanted in the study before final fee recommendations could be
made to the City Council. The Cost of Service Study was created with data from the fy 2018‐19
adopted budget. To have the most updated financial information from the fy 2020‐21 adopted
budget, and to make allowances for the economic uncertainty created by COVID‐19, staff will
update the Cost of Service Study and return to the City Council with staff recommendations at a
later date.
In the interim, staff has reviewed the fee schedule and is recommending the changes as shown
in Exhibit 9A and 9B, and further discussed below. These changes are to fees not included in the
current fee study, such as ambulance fees, trash service fees and all development impact fees.
General city fees
These are fees or rentals charged for the use of city services and property. Depending on the
fee, these fees are increased annually by the increase in the annual West Urban Consumer Price
Index or the San Diego Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics,
which reflects the cost of inflation. The one‐year change in the West Urban CPI is 2.9 percent
and the change in the San Diego CPI is 2.3 percent. Ambulance fees are included in general city
fees and are adjusted annually by the change in the Ambulance Inflation Factor, published by
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. All other general city fees will be brought to the
City Council for its approval later this year once the cost of service study has been completed.
Development‐related service fees
These are fees charged to recover the cost of staff time and materials spent on development
related activities. The street light energizing fees are being increased based on the cost for
energizing each street light. Changes to all development‐related service fees will also be
brought to the City Council later this year once the Cost of Service Study has been completed.
Development impact fees
These fees are used to pay for infrastructure projects needed because of increased
development throughout the city. These fees will be increased by the index stated in the
respective resolution or ordinance establishing the fee, typically the Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index. Details on these increases can be found in Exhibit 9A.
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 11 of 124
Other fee changes for fy 2020‐21
In addition to the annual inflationary increases, the following fee changes are proposed for fy
2020‐21, for state compliance. These fees are not currently in the Master Fee Schedule, except
for the returned check fee, which is currently $25 for all returned checks.

Waste management fees
Trash collection rates are listed on the city’s Master Fee Schedule, but these fees are set by the
contracted service provider. The city currently has a contract for these services with Waste
Management. These fees are increased annually according to the contract and go into effect
July 1, 2020. Details on these increases can be found in Exhibit 9B.
Fee to be removed
The per‐unit fee for affordable housing credits in the Northwest Quadrant is no longer in use by
the city, so staff recommends this fee be removed from the fee schedule. (The fee was
$142,000 per unit. Fees for all units have been paid.)
Fiscal Analysis
The fiscal impact of the proposed budgets is detailed in the attached schedules.
Next Steps
Once adopted, the attached schedules and any adjustments made through an approved City
Council motion will become the spending plan for fy 2020‐21.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
In keeping with Public Resources Code Section 21065, the action of adopting the prioritizing
and fund allocation program for the fy 2020‐21 Capital Improvement Plan 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, and therefore does not require
environmental review.

No physical activity will occur until all required CEQA review is conducted at the time individual
projects listed in the CIP are undertaken. Attachment 11A describes each of the CIP project
activities and indicates the anticipated environmental review requirement of the project under
CEQA based on information available at this time. Most of the projects can be found
categorically exempt from CEQA review and will not be subject to any further environmental
analysis unless the scope of any project changes or additional information becomes available to
indicate that environmental review will be necessary.
Public Notification
Public meetings have been held throughout the fy 2020‐21 budget adoption process, including a
public workshop held in March 2019 and a staff presentation to City Council for the Operating
Budget and Capital Improvement Program held on May 21, 2019. The community was also invited
to participate in an online budget priority survey during March 2019. Notices on fee changes
were sent to the Building Industry Association and San Diego Gas & Electric.
The Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program for fy 2020‐21 is on file with the city
clerk and on the city’s website. The Capital Improvement Program project details and interactive

OPERATING BUDGET REVENUE SUMMARY
The Operating Budget for fiscal year 2020-21
totals $292.5 million, with revenues for the year
estimated at $287.4 million. General Fund
revenues are estimated at $164.8 million and
General Fund budgeted operating expenditures
are $163.6 million.
Revenue estimates for the Operating Budget
indicate that the city will receive a total of
$287.4 million in fiscal year 2020-21, a change
of about $1.4 million under the estimated fiscal
year 2019-20 revenues. General Fund revenues
are expected to increase by $500,000,
compared to the prior year. Special Revenue
funds are projected to fall by 12.3%, or $1.9
million, due to expected decreases in affordable
housing revenues and donations. Enterprise
Fund revenues are projected to increase slightly
by 0.6% or $400,000 in the upcoming fiscal year.
More detailed information on the city’s revenue
sources is provided in the following discussion.
The following table shows the total operating revenues anticipated to be received by the city for fiscal
year 2019-20, as well as those budgeted for fiscal year 2020-21.

General Fund
General Fund revenues provide a representative picture of the local economy. These revenues are of
particular interest as they fund basic city services, such as Police, Fire, Library and Cultural Arts, Street
and Park Maintenance, and Recreation programs. The table below provides a summarized outlook for
the General Fund revenues.
Up until COVID-19, General Fund revenues were on pace to have their best year ever. However, the
impacts of the COVID-19 have drastically impacted sales tax, transient occupancy tax, income from
property and investments, and other revenues. The shelter-in-place orders imposed by California
Governor Newsom essentially shut down a majority of Carlsbad’s retail establishments, dine-in
restaurants, and hotels. Although the shelter-in-place orders are slowly being lessened, a sense of
normalcy is not expected until there is a vaccine for the virus, which may not occur for six to eighteen
months. Even through this pandemic, property tax revenues are expected to whether the storm
without much a hit, although the city does expect a small increase in delinquencies.
Just under 80% of General Fund revenues are derived from three sources – property tax, sales tax,
and transient occupancy tax (TOT). Sales tax receipts and TOT revenues tend to be much more
sensitive to changes in economic conditions, unlike property tax revenues, which remain relatively
stable because of the mitigating effect of Proposition 13, which limits annual growth in assessed
values.
Property tax, the largest source of General Fund revenues, is expected to grow by 2.5% in fiscal
year 2020- 21, as assessed values are expected to grow modestly. However, due to the recession that
has been created from the COVID-19 crisis, the city is projecting that delinquent ad valorem property
taxes will increase by 2%. The median price of a single family residence (SFR), based on resale data
from Zillow, is up by 5.7% year over year in February 2020. All zip codes, or quadrants, in Carlsbad
have seen increases for the year. In addition, according to Zillow estimates, home prices are
projected to fall by 1.2% within the next year due to the anticipated recession.

Until the unemployment rate stabilizes to pre-COVID-19 levels and small businesses begin to recover,
housing and commercial property prices are not anticipated to increase significantly on an annual
basis. However, low interest rates on mortgages will help to stabilize housing prices during this time
period. Increased fixed rate mortgage interest rates caused ripples across the housing market in
2019, causing home sales volumes to fall back and prices followed by year’s end.
Further, residential construction has yet to gain any momentum in San Diego, falling back
considerably in 2019. Thus far, multi-family construction has experienced a quicker recovery than
single-family residential construction. In addition, the Federal Reserve is expected to keep the
discount rate flat, at a historically low rate, for the remainder of calendar year 2020, which could help
the housing market as a stabilization in interest rates could lower the pressure on mortgage rates. It
would be expected that this, coupled with the a higher unemployment rate, would create a slightly
lower or even a flattening in home prices in the upcoming fiscal year.
Changes in property taxes revenues lag behind changes in the housing market, as the tax revenue for
the upcoming fiscal year is based on assessed values from January 2020. Thus, the taxes to be
received for fiscal year 2020-21 are based on assessed values as of January 1, 2020.
Proposition 13, adopted in 1978, limits the annual increase in assessed values for property. Under
this proposition, assessed values (and the related property tax) can grow by no more than two
percent per year. The value upon which the tax is based is only increased to the full market value
upon the sale of a property. Thus, property taxes tend to grow slowly unless there is a significant
amount of housing activity. In past decades, the city has seen robust growth in property tax revenue
due to new development, high turnover of existing homes, and double-digit growth in housing prices.
However, as the city approaches buildout, development has slowed. Despite historically low interest
rates, slower development combined with a rising unemployment rate and tax reform, has caused a
slowing in property tax growth in the city.

......
Sales Tax revenues generally move in step with economic conditions and have heavily impacted by
the shelter-in-place and subsequent recession created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Up until fiscal year
2019-20, sales tax revenues had improved markedly, peaking in fiscal year 2018-19 at $40.8 million.
However, on March 19, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a shelter-in-place for the State of
California, shutting down retail establishments, dine-in restaurants, and non-essential businesses.
Then, on March 31, 2020, Governor Newsom issued an executive order granting a three month
extension for small businesses to file their quarterly sales tax returns. This will delay sales tax
revenues for the city by up to one calendar year. Through the shelter-in-place order, the ensuing
projected recession, and the small business sales tax relief, it is projected that sales tax revenues for
fiscal year 2019-20 will decrease by 9% over fiscal year 2018-19 actuals. The city is projecting that the
shelter-in-place order will be partially lifted some time during the month of June 2020, but the
national economy will then be in a recession. Without the shelter-in-place impacting sales tax
revenues, and with small businesses beginning to pay their deferred sales tax to the state, sales tax
revenue for fiscal year 2020-21 is expected to decrease by 2% to $36.3 million. This is still below the
sales tax peak of $40.8 million in fiscal year 2018-19. Some of the decrease in sales tax revenues will
be partially offset by an increase in internet sales revenue generated from the Wayfair or AB147 law
that went into effect in October 2019.
As indicated in the chart above, the city’s sales tax base is heavily weighted in the transportation
(comprised heavily of new auto sales) and general retail sectors, both of which account for over
three-quarters of taxable sales in Carlsbad. New auto sales are highly elastic in comparison to
economic trends, and tax revenues from new auto sales fell precipitously during the recession, from
$6.7 million in 2007 to $4.4 million in 2009. Since that dip, revenues hit a high of $8.5 million for the
four quarters ended December 31, 2019. General retail sales, although down slightly in the fourth
quarter, remain strong. Revenues received under Proposition 72, a 0.5 cent increase in California
sales tax for the funding of local public safety services, is included in sales tax revenues.

The third highest General Fund revenue source is Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT, or hotel tax).
TOT is forecasted to decrease by 30% in fiscal year 2020-21 when compared to fiscal year 2018-19
actuals. This downward trend began in fiscal year 2019-20, due to the impacts of COVID-19 on
Carlsbad’s tourism industry. Many hotels have had to shut down during this time however, it is
anticipated that hotels will slowly begin to recover in fiscal year 2020-21. The recessionary impacts on
tourism are expected to at least last for the next 18 months. The assumptions used in budgeting TOT
for fiscal year 2020-21 include:
• Occupancy of 45%-50% projected for the summer of 2020
• Occupancy rates between 50%-60% until spring of 2021
• Occupancy rates between 60%-70% during spring break 2021
• Average daily rates to initially decrease by 30%
• Average daily rates improving to a 20% decrease by the end of fiscal year 2020-21
The city is still expecting to see the opening of the Home2 Suites and the Springhill Suites during fiscal
year 2020-21. As seen in the above graph, TOT had increased by over 104% since fiscal year 2011-12
through fiscal year 2018-19 as new hotels, such as the two hotels at the Legoland California Resort,
Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach Resort, and the Westin Hotel have opened in the past years. According to a
report from Tourism Economics, San Diego tourism will see modest growth in visitation of around
two percent once the economy rebounds, for the next few years, as an increase in available rooms
will impact occupancy rates in the city. However, average daily room rates will remain relatively
stable in the coming years, according to the report. Carlsbad currently has approximately 4,764 hotel
rooms, 668 timeshares, and over 265 registered vacation rentals.

Franchise Tax revenue has stabilized over the
past years and is projected at $5.5 million in fiscal
year 2020-21. Franchise taxes are paid by certain
industries that use the city’s right-of-way to
conduct their business. The city currently has
franchise agreements for cable TV service, solid
waste services, cell sites, fiber optic antenna
systems and gas and electric services. The solid
waste franchise experienced minor revenue
increases that mirror growth in population and
changes in rate structures. Cable TV franchise
revenue is expected to decrease by 5% from $1.5
million to $1.4 million over the next fiscal year due
to decreases in the number of paid subscription
services. This trend will most likely continue in
future years as more subscribers cut cable services and move to online streaming services.
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) pays franchise taxes for the use of the public land over which they
transport gas and electricity. The city also receives an “in-lieu” franchise tax based on the value of gas
and electricity transported on SDG&E lines, but purchased from another source. The “in-lieu” tax
captures the franchise taxes on gas and electricity that is transported using public lands, which would
not otherwise be included in the calculations for franchise taxes, due to deregulation of the power
industry. The majority of the “in-lieu” taxes received is attributable to Cabrillo Power, the operator of
the Encina power plant, and is based on the gas used in the generation of electricity. This revenue
source is expected to drop slightly in fiscal year 2020-21 due to decreases in electric sales and lower
gas prices in fiscal year 2020-21, and then flatten out over the next several years.
Interdepartmental charges are generated through engineering services charged to capital
projects, reimbursed work from other funds and miscellaneous interdepartmental expenses charged
to funds outside the General Fund for services performed by departments within the General Fund.
Through a modest increase in miscellaneous interdepartmental charges due to small cost increases,
total interdepartmental charges are expected to increase by 1.2%.
Business license taxes are closely tied to the health of the local economy, and are projected to
remain flat at $5 million in fiscal year 2020-21 when compared to current year estimates. This is still
below the pre-COVID-19 level of $5.3 million in fiscal year 2018-19 however, the recession created by
the pandemic will still have an impact on the city’s business community for the next couple of years.
There are currently about 9,930 licensed businesses in Carlsbad, with 2,491 of them home-based.
Income from investments and property includes interest earnings, as well as rental income
from city-owned land and facilities. The city is expected to earn about $2.5 million in interest on its
General Fund investments for fiscal year 2020-21, and another $2.4 million in rental and lease
income. The yield on the city’s portfolio is expected to decrease to around 1.7% and cash balances
are also expected to decrease as delayed and reduced sales tax payments, lower transient occupancy
tax income, and a reduction in other revenue sources due to the COVID-19 crisis lower the average
projected cash balance in the General Fund for the year.

Development-related revenues are derived from fees for planning, engineering and building
permits, and fees paid by developers to cover the cost of reviewing and monitoring development
activities, such as plan checks and inspections. These revenues are difficult to predict, as many of the
planning and engineering activities occur months or years before any actual development.
During fiscal year 2009-10, development-
related revenues began to turn around
from historic lows experienced in fiscal
year 2008-09. Since then, development-
related revenues have fluctuated in line
with increases and decreases in
residential, commercial and industrial
development. In fiscal year 2020-21, the
city expects a 15.5% decrease in
development related revenues, to
approximately $2.6 million, following
higher than anticipated development
activity occurring in fiscal year 2019-20.
The projected decrease in development-
related revenues is tied to the volume and type of development projected to be permitted, multi-
family versus single-family, and the drop in the revenues derived from the early stages of
development (plan checks, engineering plan checks, and building fees).
Ambulance fee revenues are estimated to grow by 7.2% or $191,000 when compared to current
year estimates due to a small increase in ambulance rates combined with a heightened focus on
collection efforts. Although California Senate Bill 523 was fully implemented during fiscal year 2019-
20, requiring the city to remit to the state a portion of their ambulance fee revenues as part of a
quality assurance program related to Medi-Cal transports, the city is seeing additional Medi-Cal
reimbursement rates due to the senate bill.
Transfer taxes are those taxes paid to the county upon the transfer of interests in real estate. The
tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of property value, split equally between the county and the city. Carlsbad
expects to receive approximately $1.2 million in transfer taxes for fiscal year 2020-21, which is a two
percent increase from fiscal year 2019-20 estimates. The housing market continues to remain
relatively strong as interest rates are at historic lows and are not predicted to increase in the near
future. Housing prices are continuing to slowly increase in Carlsbad and inventories remain solid.
All other revenues include recreation fees, intergovernmental revenues, other licenses and fees,
fines and forfeitures, transfers in, and other charges and fees. The estimate for fiscal year 2020-21
totals $6.2 million, a $500,000 decrease from the previous year, primarily due to one-time grant and
other revenues received in fiscal year 2019-20, a reduction in forecasted recreation fees due to
COVID-19, and lower miscellaneous licenses and fees due to a slowdown in development activity.
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 21 of 124
Overall, as reflected in the above bar chart, General Fund revenues are expected to be up 0.3% from
fiscal year 2019-20 estimates, as the city begins to recover from the recession caused by the COVID-
19 pandemic. Although sales tax, franchise revenues, income from property and investments, and
development-related revenues will still see decreases, the city expects to see some rebounding in
TOT, property tax and business license taxes compared to fiscal year 2019-20 estimates. These
increases are forecasted to continue into fiscal year 2021-22 as the economy slowly recovers from
the recession caused by the pandemic. Although the city experienced revenue growth between 9%
and 17% in the late 1990s, it was not sustainable. Much of those increases were due to the opening
of new hotels, restaurants, retail centers, and new home development. As new development slows, it
will be increasingly more difficult to produce double-digit growth in revenues. A recovering economy
is certainly driving General Fund revenues higher, but this growth comes from a lower revenue base
that was created in fiscal year 2019-20 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. The city’s revenues
are not projected to fully recover to pre-COVID-19 levels until fiscal year 2021-22, and then revenue
growth should stabilize at around 2% to 3% in the following years.

Revenues from Special Revenue funds are expected to total $13.7 million in fiscal year 2020-21, a
decrease of $1.9 million or 12% from fiscal year 2019-20 estimates. Funds collected in this category
are restricted to specified purposes. The types of programs supported within Special Revenue funds
are those funded by specific revenue streams such as:
Federal Grants (Rental Assistance and Community Development Block Grants)
Special fees and assessments (Affordable Housing and Maintenance Assessment Districts)
Donations (Library, Cultural Arts, Recreation and Senior Donations)
The most noteworthy changes in the Special Revenue funds occurred in the Affordable Housing Fee
Fund, a decrease of $585,000 and the Agriculture Mitigation Fee Fund, which shows a decrease of
$240,000. Affordable housing fees and Agriculture Mitigation fees are related to development and
can fluctuate significantly from year-to-year. Revenues from grants and donations also are expected
to reduce slightly. These donations are generally one-time revenues and tend to fluctuate from year-
to year.
The Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund revenues are budgeted at $3.9 million, a 22.6%
decrease over fiscal year 2019-20 estimates. Although the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency has been
dissolved, the California Department of Finance has approved the repayment of the approximately
$8.1 million (plus accrued interest) loaned to both the city’s former redevelopment areas by the
General Fund as well as debt service payments remaining on the former agency’s 1993 Tax Allocation
Refunding Bonds. Payments are distributed annually from available property tax revenues allocated
by the state to the successor agency.

Enterprise fund revenues for fiscal year 2020-21 are projected at $79.1 million, an increase of 0.6%
or $433,000 over the current year estimates. The revenue breakdown by activity is shown in the
graph below.
Enterprise funds are similar to a business, in that rates are charged to support the operations that
supply the service. Carlsbad Enterprise funds include water and recycled water delivery, wastewater
services, solid waste management, and operation of a municipal golf course. In addition to paying for
the wholesale and fixed water costs, the fiscal year 2020-21 Operating Budget includes funding for
replacement of Carlsbad’s water infrastructure, a critical valve replacement project, and maintaining
sufficient operating reserves.
The Water Enterprise Fund revenue for fiscal year 2020-21 is estimated to remain flat at $45.6
million when compared to current year revenue estimates. Recycled Water revenues at $8.2
million are expected to decrease slightly by 2% or $200,000. These decreased estimates are a
combination of customer demand hardening and weather expectations.
Estimated revenues for Wastewater are $14.3 million, a 2.6% decrease over the current year
estimate. This decreased estimate is largely driven by demand hardening and weather expectations
for wastewater’s volumetric customers.
Estimated revenues from operations of the Golf Course are expected to increase by 11.5% next
year to $7.0 million when compared to current year estimates of $6.2 million. However, when
compared to fiscal year 2018-19 actuals of $8.2 million, estimated revenues for next fiscal year are
down by 15% or $1.2 million. This loss of revenue is due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting
stay-at-home orders that occurred March through May of 2020.

Internal Service funds show estimated revenues of

increase over fiscal year 2019-20 projections.
Internal Service funds account for services provided within
the city itself, from one department to another, on a cost
reimbursement basis. These include programs such as the
self-insurance funds for Workers’ Compensation and
General Liability (Risk Management), as well as Vehicle
Maintenance and Replacement, and Information Technology. Departments pay for these services;
therefore, the rates charged are based on the cost to provide the service. The goal of an Internal
Service fund is to match budgeted expenses with charges to the departments.
A recent actuarial review of the Workers’ Compensation fund determined that the city should
continue to set aside cash reserves in anticipation of future workers’ compensation claims. In order
to achieve this, charges to city departments need to increase by 10% each year over the next several
years. Charges for the upcoming fiscal year were planned to be $3.8 million, an increase of 10% over
the current fiscal year, however, the city is closing out the Self-Insured Benefit fund which has a
current cash balance of $1.9 million.
The Self-Insured Benefit fund was used for many years to collect department expenses to pay dental
claim fees for all employees since the city was self-insured for dental benefits. In 2018, the city
moved from being self-insured to paying a set monthly insurance premium, the cost of which is
shared between the city and the employees. These insurance payments are now made through the
city’s payroll trust funds consistent with other employee benefits. To close out the fund, the
remaining cash balance is being transferred to the Workers’ Compensation fund to be used as a one-
time offset to departmental workers’ compensation chargebacks for fiscal year 2020-21.
There are increases in Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement charges of 18% and 19%,
respectively. Vehicle maintenance and replacement costs rise when the number of vehicles and the
price of new vehicles or the cost to maintain those vehicles increases; for example, many older
generation sedans at the end of their useful life are now being replaced with hybrid and plug-in
hybrids at a higher per unit cost. There have also been significant cost increases over the last several
years in specialized vehicles, such as fire trucks and ambulances.
Information Technology (IT) charges to departments have decreased by 5% or $733,000 when
compared to fiscal year 2019-20 estimates. Estimated expenses are coming in lower than expected
for fiscal year 2019-20 which reduces the amount needed to collect from departments in the
following fiscal year. The division continues to modernize and strengthen IT infrastructure with an
aim to leverage technology to increase proficiencies citywide.

OPERATING BUDGET EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
The city’s Operating Budget for fiscal year 2020-21 totals $292.5 million, which represents an increase
of about $500,000, or 0.2%, as compared to the adopted fiscal year 2019-20 budget. A summary of
the changes in each of the city’s programs will be discussed below. Further information about each
program can be found in the individual program summary pages.
The General Fund contains most of the discretionary revenues that support basic core city services.
However, this should not diminish the importance of the other operating funds, as they also
contribute to the array of services available within Carlsbad. The remainder of this section will
provide more information about the budgeted expenditures by fund and program.
General Fund
The total Operating Budget for the General Fund for fiscal year 2020-21 is $163.6 million, which is
$3.6 million, or 2.1% less than the previous year’s adopted budget of $167.1 million. These changes
are discussed in more detail on the following pages.

Personnel
Personnel costs make up approximately 64% of the General Fund budget. The total personnel budget
for fiscal year 2020-21 is $105 million, which is $3.7 million, or 3.6% greater than the previous year’s
total personnel budget of $101.4 million.
The table above shows the breakdown of personnel costs for the General Fund. General Fund salaries
include full and part-time staff costs and are expected to increase in fiscal year 2020-21 by $4.9
million, or 7.1%. The increase is due contracted and anticipated wage increases for current
employees scheduled in fiscal year 2020-21. Due to the current environment as a result of the COVID-
19 pandemic, no new full or part-time positions are proposed for the next fiscal year. This increase is
partially offset by a reduction of 13.78 FTE part-time seasonal positions, mainly from the Parks &
Recreation department due to reductions made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Retirement Benefits Cost
CalPERS administers the city’s defined benefit pension
plan, and costs have been increasing in past years as
CalPERS addresses a structural shortfall in plan assets to
cover unfunded liabilities. As part of CalPERS’ strategy to
ensure the plan’s sustainability, CalPERS deliberately
raised participating agencies’ contributions over several
years to improve the plan’s long-term funded status. The
pension system continues to pursue tactics in support of
its strategy to ensure plan sustainability, such as investing
in less risky assets, even though these tactics will increase near-term pension costs. While pension
costs are increasing, there is some downward pressure on costs, as new employees receive lower
pension benefits. CalPERS has taken significant steps to ensuring plan sustainability.
In support of CalPERS strategies for plan sustainability, and as part of the city’s strategic, long-term
approach to financial management, the city actively manages its unfunded pension liability. This
active management helps ensure that resources are available to fulfill the city’s contractual promises
to its employees and minimizes the chance that funding these pension benefits will interfere with the
city’s ability to provide essential public services.

Health Insurance and Other Personnel Costs
Health insurance costs are increasing by $200,000 or 2.1% over the prior year. This increase is due to
the normal increase in health insurance for current employees. Other personnel costs include
workers’ compensation expenses and other miscellaneous costs, such as Medicare, unemployment
and disability.
Maintenance and Operations
Maintenance and operations costs represent about 31% of the total General Fund budget, and
include the budgets for all program expenses other than personnel, capital outlay and transfers.
Overall, total maintenance and operations costs are projected at $51.2 million, an decrease of about
$2.6 million, or 4.8%, for fiscal year 2020-21 when compared to fiscal year 2019-20.
In response to projected reduced revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting stay-at-
home orders, departments were asked to re-evaluate their budget requests for fiscal year 2020-21
and decrease discretionary spending wherever possible. General funded departments were able to
reduce their maintenance and operations budget requests by 8% overall. Many of these reductions
were in non-mandated employee training and in state conference travel budgets which were reduced
by 49% and out of state travel for training and conferences was reduced by 83%. Other discretionary
spending, such as equipment, office supplies and professional and outside services were reduced
when possible with a focus on those that would have the smallest impact on city services to the
community.
Capital Outlay
Capital Outlay includes budgeted equipment purchases over $1,000. Capital outlay purchases of
$400,000 are budgeted in the General Fund for fiscal year 2020-21. This purchase is for the
replacement of 11 EKG monitors in the fire department. The complete list of proposed major capital
purchases for all funds (over $10,000) is shown on a schedule in the appendices section.
Operating Costs Associated with Capital Investments
As the city completes major capital projects, the costs of maintaining and operating the facilities and
improvements, including additional personnel if necessary, are added to departmental operating
budgets. There were no operating increases included in the upcoming budget related to new capital
projects.
Advances
Advances and repayments of prior advances are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the
General Fund to other city funds and are expected to be repaid to the General Fund in future years.
No General Fund advances are included in this year’s Operating Budget. It is anticipated that the
Successor Agency Trust Fund will repay $2,460,000 in the upcoming fiscal year towards the
outstanding loan between the city and the former Redevelopment Agency. This advance is expected
to be fully repaid around the year 2023.
June 23, 2020 Item #9 Page 28 of 124
Note: The spike in fiscal year 2016-17 reflects a one-time payment to pay off the golf course construction
bonds and a transfer to the General Capital Construction Fund for replacement of Fire Station No. 2.
As reflected in the graph above, the city’s General Fund expenditures were reduced with the budget
in fiscal year 2011-12, and expenditure increases were minimal through fiscal year 2012-13. Fiscal
year 2013-14 expenditures reflected a 10.8% increase due to labor costs and one-time expense for
the Poinsettia Fires. The following year, fiscal year 2014-15, expenditures remained relatively flat. The
fiscal year 2015-16 budget reflected an 8.1% increase in expenditures due primarily to increased
personnel costs, and the fiscal year 2016-17 expenditures included $25.3 million in one-time costs
($10.5 million for a transfer to the Capital Improvement Program for Fire Station No. 2 replacement,
and $14.8 million to pay of the golf course construction bonds).
The expenditures for fiscal year 2017-18 reflect a substantial decrease due to the one-time costs
reflected in fiscal year 2016-17 for the defeasance of the golf course bonds of $14.8 million and the
transfer of $10.5 million to the General Capital Construction Fund for the reconstruction of Fire
Station No. 2. These cost reductions were partially offset by an additional one-time payment to
CalPERS to address the city’s unfunded pension liability, the addition of nine staff members,
additional legal and expert costs associated with the county airport expansion and the Safety Training
Center lawsuit, higher personnel costs due to normal salary and benefit increases, higher mutual aid
costs, and the filling of prior year vacancies.
Expenditures in fiscal year 2018-19 reflect an additional one-time $20 million payment to CalPERS to
further bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability. Fiscal year 2019-20 estimates included the
approved addition of 34 new full-time employees. Budgeted expenditures for fiscal year 2020-21
show a decrease in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to reduce discretionary
spending as much as possible during this unprecedented time.

Program Expenditures
Another way of looking at the General Fund budget is
by program. The chart below compares the total fiscal
year 2020-21 budget to those amounts adopted in the
previous year. A detailed description of each
department, its services, budget summary and
department accomplishments and priorities can be
found in the department program summary pages.
Transfers
Transfers are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the General Fund to another city fund. The
transfers included in the adopted budget are as follows:
$5.5 million, split between the Infrastructure Replacement Fund ($1 million) and General Capital
Construction Fund ($4.5 million) for major new construction, maintenance and/or replacement
of city infrastructure and facilities. This represents 3% of the General Fund revenues, which is a
decrease from the 6% transfer that was approved for fiscal year 2019-20. This percentage was
reduced in order to minimize the impact to personnel and maintenance and operations
expenditure reductions in the General Fund in response to the economic environment as a result
of the COVID-19 pandemic. This transfer percentage will be evaluated again during the next
budget cycle.
A detailed description of each
department’s budget can be found

$309,000 to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement for the General Fund portion of Storm
Water expenses.
$700,000 to the Median Maintenance and Street Tree Maintenance Special Revenue Funds to
cover cash shortfalls, as annual assessments collected from property owners do not cover annual
operating expenditures. Annual assessments can only be increased with a majority vote of the
property owners.
$500,000 to the Golf Course Enterprise Fund is budgeted for fiscal year 2020-21 and will be
transferred if additional cash is needed to cover current operating expenses of the golf course
over the next fiscal year. The golf course plans to execute a compliant COVID-19 response phased
operational plan in golf and food and beverage to allow revenues to reestablish.
General Fund Summary
The Operating Budget for fiscal year 2020-21 provides a balanced General Fund budget for the

Carlsbad has historically benefitted from a strong and diverse economic base, and has maintained
financial policies to protect the city from the fluctuations of the business cycle, increasing costs and
unfunded mandates. The COIVD-19 pandemic has caused a sudden and significant impact to local,
national and global economies. Fortunately, the city was in excellent financial shape prior to the
pandemic and the proposed budget is a piece in the process to financial recovery. Throughout this
unprecedented time, the city will continue to monitor and pivot if necessary to changes in the fiscal
environment, evaluate opportunities to strengthen financial policies, identify opportunities to
improve business practices and provide the greatest service level to the community.

Changes in Other Funds
Special Revenue funds, at $14.6 million, show a
minor decrease in expenditures of less than one percent, or
$104,000, when compared to
fiscal year 2019-20. Spending in most programs is to
remain at similar or slightly lower levels over the
prior year.
Expenditure increases of $100,000, or 30%,
are planned in the Library Gifts & Bequest
Funds for books, materials and supplies to
help supplement budget reductions in the
Library & Cultural Arts operating budget in
the General Fund as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Similar increases are planned in the Police Asset
Forfeiture Fund to pay for needed police equipment. The
budget in this fund has increased $316,000 or 236% when
compared to the prior fiscal year. A higher than normal revenue
amount was received during fiscal year 2019-20 which enables the increase
in spending for the next fiscal year.
Enterprise funds total $83.5 million, an increase of $907,000, or 1.1%, over the fiscal year 2019-20
adopted budget. The Potable Water and Recycled Water funds continue to operate and maintain
critical infrastructure systems and provides the safe delivery of drinking water, conservation outreach
and treated irrigation water. The Wastewater fund provides reliable wastewater collection services.
The Internal Service funds total $28.9 million, with an overall increase of $2.8 million, or 10.8%
percent, over fiscal year 2019-20. Half of this increase is attributable to the $1.9 million budgeted
transfer from the Self-Insurance Benefit Fund to the Worker’s Compensation fund. More detail on
this transfer can be found in the Health and Other Personnel Costs section earlier in this document.
The other half of the increase is in the Information Technology fund. The city continues to modernize,
upgrade and invest in needed equipment, systems and applications.
The budget for the Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund is slightly higher for fiscal year 2020-21
at $1.9 million when compared to the prior year’s adopted budget of $1.5 million. The Recognized
Obligation Payments Schedule (ROPS) identifies financial commitments of the former Redevelopment
Agency, including the remaining scheduled debt service payments on the Redevelopment Agency
bond issue, the outstanding loan from the city’s General Fund and minor allowable administrative
costs. The last debt service payment on the bond issue is scheduled for September 2023 and the city
loan is expected to be paid off by the end of fiscal year 2022-23. These obligations are to be paid from
semi-annual property tax increment revenue received by the Successor Agency.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Carlsbad Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the
highest standards of quality facilities for our community
today and in the future. It is a planning document, not a
commitment for spending. The 15-year program outlines the
expenditure plan for future capital projects and the
corresponding revenues to pay for those expenditures.
Projects that are shown in the CIP are generally defined as
any construction, rehabilitation or replacement of major
infrastructure such as streets, libraries, parks, fire stations and administrative facilities, water, sewer
and drainage facilities, and other facilities that are located on or in the ground. In most cases, the
total construction cost of each of these assets is recorded and tracked as part of the city’s inventory
of capital infrastructure assets and other city-owned property.
Once the Council adopts the proposed annual CIP budget, projects receive an appropriation that
authorizes spending in the amount specified for the adopted fiscal year only. Estimated budget
information is shown for a 15-year period to provide the most comprehensive information about
known future projects. Spending authority in future years is not granted until adoption of the annual
proposed CIP budget associated with each year.
Carlsbad’s philosophy is to take a proactive, long-range planning approach to building high quality
facilities and infrastructure that support the needs and priorities of the community. The CIP is
organized by the following project classifications:

INVESTING IN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE
As the city continues to grow and develop, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for
development-related services and new facilities. To ensure that the necessary infrastructure and
facilities are built on a schedule that meets or exceeds this demand, the citizens of Carlsbad adopted
a Growth Management Plan in 1986. The plan was established to manage development within the
city by linking residential, commercial, and industrial development directly to standards for
availability of public services and facilities.
The Growth Management Plan states that unless a standard level of facilities is available to meet new
demands resulting from the city’s growth, development cannot proceed. Recently, certain actions,
such as imposing a moratorium, have been determined to be impermissible by the California Housing
and Community Development Department, per Senate Bill 330, Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which
became effective on Jan. 1, 2020.
The detailed level of planning required by Growth Management has allowed Carlsbad’s Capital
Improvement Program to anticipate the funding needed for capital improvements in the next 15
years. Facilities such as community centers, parks, and fire stations have been constructed and
opened to the public under this program.
The Capital Improvement Program has been designed to specifically address areas where new or
expanded facilities will be needed to maintain compliance with the adopted performance standards.
With the adoption of the fiscal year 2020-21 CIP, compliance with the Growth Management Plan is
continued.
Prudent financial planning has ensured ongoing funding to modernize, repair, and replace existing
infrastructure projects through numerous asset management programs, which ensure adequate
inspection, maintenance, and replacement of buildings and parks, water, sewer and drainage
systems, bridges, and roadways systems.
PROJECT EVALUATION
Development of the CIP is a team
effort involving all operational
departments, the city manager’s
office, City Council, and the
community. Community feedback on
infrastructure needs is considered
and incorporated as appropriate. The
CIP is fully vetted at multiple levels of
the city organization by appropriate
staff using an inclusive and
transparent process, and reviewed
on a quarterly basis.

As the CIP is implemented throughout the year, staff continually re-evaluate projects’ scopes, costs
and schedules to responsibly and cost-effectively manage infrastructure assets at the required levels
of service throughout their lifecycle. Recommendations for project funding considers current project
status, project scheduling and sequencing requirements, project constraints and current staff
capacity. Project charters are updated to include project description, location, summary of need,
justification including any legislative or policy citations, cost estimates and project scores.
In anticipation of revenue decreases in some capital funding sources, staff recommended funding
adjustments in fiscal year 2020-21 that focused on matching existing resources with realistic and
achievable project schedules. New project requests were minimized, and the city remains committed
to continue work on projects that are already underway.
F ISCAL YEAR 2020 -21 APPROPRIATIONS
In the fiscal year 2020-21 CIP, there are approximately 230 continuing and new projects planned over
the next 15 years. The fiscal year 2020-21 CIP outlines $29.1 million in new appropriations to provide
additional funding for the continuation of existing projects as well as funding for one new project.
Projected revenues during the same fiscal year are estimated at $34.5 million.

This category includes a variety of facilities such as fire stations, libraries and the new City Hall. Costs
include repair, maintenance, and replacement of civic buildings.
Parks
$755,000
Projects include improvements and enhancements to existing parks, such as playground resurfacing, picnic areas and other needs identified by the community and in recently updated parks master plans.
Drainage
$500,000
The city’s drainage infrastructure plays an important role in handling storm water runoff flows, as well
as maintaining the water quality of the city’s creeks, lagoons and ocean. As the city continues to age, it
is increasingly necessary to balance repairing and replacing the existing lines with enhancing the
current infrastructure to accommodate future needs.
Sewer
$10.4 million
The city’s sewer, or wastewater, projects include numerous pipeline construction and rehabilitation
projects, as well as improvements to the Encina Wastewater Treatment facility. Most new lines are
built and paid for with impact fees collected with new development.
Water and Recycled Water
$5.0 million
Future water and recycled water projects include construction of new pipe lines, replacement of
existing waterlines and reservoir improvements. The Carlsbad Municipal Water District has been
producing and delivering recycled water for over 30 years.
Streets and Circulation System
$8.2 million
People of all ages and abilities want to go places safely and conveniently in Carlsbad, whether they
drive, walk, bike, or ride a bus or train. Carlsbad continues to invest in modernizing roads, leveraging
technology to improve traffic systems, and making timely repairs and rehabilitation of the roadways,
bridges, sidewalks and other assets in public rights of way throughout the city.

About This Project
The City of Carlsbad took ownership of a 61-acre piece of property, bisected at the corner of Carlsbad
Village Drive and Victoria Avenue, as part of a lawsuit settlement involving the Quarry Creek housing
project. The project anticipates approximately one acre of fenced, off-leash dog area, a parking lot
and a pre-fabricated restroom. The project also includes the design and construction of the balance
of Trail Segment 5B (Carlsbad Village Drive to Tamarack Avenue), as reflected in the Carlsbad Trails
Master Plan.
Project Need
City Council directed city staff to “initiate public outreach to engage residents in the development of
a plan to integrate an off-leash dog run as part of the Village H property.” Taking into account
community input, staff and Preserve Calavera created a conceptual plan to allow an off-leash dog
area while protecting sensitive habitat preserves and providing for wildlife movement.
General Plan Consistency
The project is consistent with Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation Element Goal 4-G.3
(“Protect environmentally sensitive lands, wildlife habitats, and rare, threatened or endangered plant
and animal communities”) and Policy 4-P.41 (“Implement the projects recommended in the City of
Carlsbad Trails Master Plan through the city’s capital improvement program, private development
conditions and other appropriate mechanisms”). The project’s Open Space and Community Facilities
land use designations support recreation and community-serving uses.

REVENUES
Over the next 15 years, revenues for Capital Projects are estimated at $708.2 million and are
segregated into six major funding sources: (1) fees generated by development in Carlsbad, (2) special
district fees and taxes (Community Facilities Districts and Bridge and Thoroughfare Benefit Districts),
(3) water and wastewater replacement funds, (4) infrastructure replacement funds (other than
wastewater and water), (5) general capital construction funds, and (5) other sources, including
grants, sales taxes, and contributions from other agencies.
Approximately 18% of all capital revenue is received as a result of development (Developer Fees and
Financing Districts in the chart above), and is dependent upon assumptions made about the city's
annual growth in dwelling units and commercial/industrial square feet. These revenues include Public
Facilities Fees (PFF), Traffic Impact Fees (TIF), Park-In-Lieu Fees (PIL), Planned Local Drainage (PLD)
Fees, Water Connection Fees (MFF), and Sewer Connection charges, Community Facilities Districts
(CFD) and Bridge and Thoroughfare Benefit Districts (BTD).
Water and wastewater replacement revenues generated by user fees equal approximately 32% of
total revenues, and are used to pay for replacement of existing water and sewer facilities.
Infrastructure replacement and General Capital Construction revenues, equal to 26%, are transfers
from the city’s General Fund, which are being set aside to pay for replacement of major capital
facilities other than wastewater and water facilities and the construction of various municipal
projects. The remaining 24% consists of revenues from other agencies and include federal and state
grants, the county sales tax program (TransNet), gas taxes, and contributions or reimbursements
from cities, developers, and other agencies.

As shown on the graph on the previous page, there are a variety of revenues that are used to fund
the capital projects. In order to estimate revenues to be received from development, several
assumptions about the rate and type of future development are made. These assumptions can
change from year to year and tend to correlate with the current economic climate.
Every year, city staff evaluates all existing and future private development projects and compares this
information to the capacity of the city using the most current adopted general plans. Information
about existing development activity combined with estimates of how remaining net developable land
might develop is then summarized to prepare future projections about when and where residential
and non-residential development may occur. The following table shows the number of residential
units and non-residential square feet of development that was used in calculating estimated
revenues for fiscal year 2019-20 and subsequent years to build out.
Projected Future Development
Financial forecasting schedules are prepared to ensure that funding will be sufficient and available for
construction of capital projects as planned in the CIP. In addition to evaluating whether or not capital
funds are sufficient, significant operating cost impacts and availability of staff resources are also
considered in evaluating the timing of projects. Where funding discrepancies occur, alternative
financing methods and project timing are evaluated and recommendations are made to resolve the
discrepancies.
Conservatively, about 2,800 residential units are anticipated for future development, and it is
currently estimated that the city is more than 90% built out. Residential development for fiscal year
2020-21 is projected at 167 units, and, over the next five years, should average 210 units per year.
The amount of non-residential development is projected at about 556,000 square feet over the next
five years.
Projects include several multi-family residential developments, commercial industrial, office and
other mixed-use projects. Development estimates provide data for estimating future fee revenues,
which are calculated by multiplying each applicable development fee by the estimated number of
dwelling units and/or square feet of construction expected during each year.

FUTURE PROJECTS
The CIP for fiscal year 2020-21 to fiscal year 2034-35 outlines approximately 230 projects at a cost of
$623.9 million. Long-range planning and responsible asset management play key roles in the
development of future capital projects. Using data from various infrastructure master plans, ongoing
asset condition assessments, technical modelling, field inspections as well as community feedback,
the information provided for future years reflects the most comprehensive snapshot of known or
anticipated future projects as well as associated estimated costs.
CALCULATION OF FUTURE FEES
The revenue projections in the CIP reflect the growth assumptions identified in the previous section.
The following information delineates how those assumptions were applied to estimate future
development revenues. The mix of future multi-family and single-family residential units is assumed
to be 80% and 20%, respectively, and reflects the anticipated mix of residential development for each
Local Facilities Management Zone.
In order to calculate estimated revenues for Traffic Impact Fees, the number of average daily trips
was computed for each type of development use. An attached multi-family residential dwelling unit is
assigned either eight or six trips and a detached single-family unit is assigned 10 trips per day. The
trips-per-day value for commercial and industrial buildings are 40 and eight trips per 1,000 square
feet of development, respectively, although the actual volume of trips generated by commercial and
industrial buildings can vary widely depending on the ultimate land use.

Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 1 is a citywide district established to finance various civic
facilities required under the city’s Growth Management Plan. Park-in-Lieu Fees are collected for the
purchase and development of parkland within each quadrant of the city, and the fees are based on
the acquisition cost of parkland. Projects in the CIP funded with Park-in-Lieu Fees include future park
site acquisition, development and restoration. Bridge and Thoroughfare Fee Districts (BTD) are
formed by property owners to finance specific road construction projects located within the district
boundaries. Poinsettia Lane – Aviara Parkway (BTD No. 2) was formed to finance the construction of
Poinsettia Lane between Aviara Parkway and El Camino Real and Aviara Parkway between Palomar
Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane.
UNFUNDED PROJECTS
There are six projects identified in the Capital Improvement Program for which there is no identifiable
funding source and, in some cases, where only partial funding has been identified. The city will
investigate obtaining possible external funding, such as federal and state grants, loans, or other
financing sources. Once funding is identified for these projects, the project costs will have to be
reviewed and updated to reflect actual cost estimates. The unfunded projects do not receive annual
inflationary increases. Two projects are partially funded by the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. The
program was planned to generate enough revenue to pay for 20% of the total costs of these projects,
leaving the remaining 80% unfunded.

ABOUT
The Carlsbad Municipal Water District or CMWD provides ongoing treatment, maintenance and
repair of the recycled water system’s Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility treatment plant, three storage
tanks, four pump stations, three pressure reducing stations, five pressure zones, 93 miles of pipelines,
815 valves and 950 meters. CMWD’s Cross-Connection Control and Backflow Program ensures a safe
supply of drinking water by prevention of cross-contamination from the recycled system into the
potable system, in accordance with federal and state regulations. CMWD also purchases and delivers
recycled water from the Vallecitos Water District.
The Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility treatment plant is next to the Encina Wastewater Authority
Treatment Plant. CMWD takes wastewater from that plant and treats it to California Title 22 recycled
water quality standards and then delivers that water to customers for irrigation and certain industrial
uses. This effort reduces the amount of wastewater that would normally be released by the
wastewater treatment plant into the ocean outfall, reduces dependence on imported drinking water
and provides customers with a reliable local supply of recycled water. Recycled water is not subject to
state water conservation requirements.

CITY OF CARLSBAD
GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
The Appropriations Limitation imposed by Proposition 4 and modified by Proposition 111 creates a
restriction on the amount of revenue which can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The revenues which
are subject to the Limitation are those considered "proceeds of taxes." The basis for calculating the Limit
began in fiscal year 1978-79 and is increased based on population growth and inflation.
The major change made by Proposition 111 allows the City to annually choose among the following
options for calculating its Gann Limit:
Population growth of Carlsbad, OR
Population growth within San Diego County,
AND
Growth in California per capita income, OR
Growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction in the city.
The factors used to calculate the fiscal year 2020-21 Limit were:
Population growth of Carlsbad AND
Growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction in the city.
The formula is outlined below:
Fiscal Year 2019-20 Expenditure Limit $478,842,379
% Population growth within Carlsbad 1.0073
Growth in non-residential assessed valuation X 1.0553
Net Increase Factor 1.0630
Fiscal Year 2020-21 Limit (2019-20 Limit x Factor) $509,009,448
Current Appropriation of Proceeds of Taxes $140,076,477
(Subject to the Limit)
The spending limit for the City of Carlsbad for fiscal year 2020-21 is $509.0 million, with appropriations of
"proceeds of taxes" of $140 million. The result of the calculation provides the city with an operating
margin of $369 million.

About This Project
The City of Carlsbad took ownership of a 61-acre piece of property, bisected at the corner of Carlsbad
Village Drive and Victoria Avenue, as part of a lawsuit settlement involving the Quarry Creek housing
project. The project anticipates approximately one acre of fenced, off-leash dog area, a parking lot
and a pre-fabricated restroom. The project also includes the design and construction of the balance
of Trail Segment 5B (Carlsbad Village Drive to Tamarack Avenue), as reflected in the Carlsbad Trails
Master Plan.
Project Need
City Council directed city staff to “initiate public outreach to engage residents in the development of
a plan to integrate an off-leash dog run as part of the Village H property.” Taking into account
community input, staff and Preserve Calavera created a conceptual plan to allow an off-leash dog
area while protecting sensitive habitat preserves and providing for wildlife movement.
General Plan Consistency
The project is consistent with Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation Element Goal 4-G.3
(“Protect environmentally sensitive lands, wildlife habitats, and rare, threatened or endangered plant
and animal communities”) and Policy 4-P.41 (“Implement the projects recommended in the City of
Carlsbad Trails Master Plan through the city’s capital improvement program, private development
conditions and other appropriate mechanisms”). The project’s Open Space and Community Facilities
land use designations support recreation and community-serving uses.
Climate Action Plan Consistency

SUPPORT OF LIBRARY STAFF BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2020-21
On May 27, 2020, the Library Board of Trustees heard a presentation summarizing
city direction on preparation of the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget and the resulting
library budget submittal. Staff provided an overview of the department’s significant
changes including proposed reductions while seeking to maintain the highest level
of public service and minimize the effect of reductions on services that are
particularly important at this time to the community.
Pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.16.060, the Library Board of
Trustees “…may make recommendations to the city council and advise the city
council in matters pertaining to…the amounts of monies required to operate the
library.” At a special meeting held June 8, 2020, by proper motion and vote the
Library Board determined that it supports staff’s preparation of budget
recommendations that fulfill the city’s direction for reductions without significant
impact on the public.

Re:

Additional Materials Related to Staff R~t Item No. 9 -Fiscal Year 2020-21 Operating
and Capital Improvement Program Budgets
This memorandum provides information related to staff report Item No. 9 of the June 23, 2020
City Council agenda packet. There was a question regarding how the city's personnel budgets
were affected during the Great Recession, specifically during fiscal year 2009-10 and 2010-11.
Staff has reviewed the adopted budgets fro_m those two fiscal years and have found the following
actions:
The adopted fiscal year 2009-10 budget reflected a total decrease of 13.5 full-time positions,
which included the defunding·of 12.0 full-time positions and the elimination of 1.5 full-time
positions. In addition to these changes, there were 14.0 vacant positions that were frozen to
generate additional expenditure savings during the year. The practice of defunding positions
entailed keeping the headcount intact but removing the b·udget with the intent that the positions
would be funded again in a future fiscal year. Budgeted General Fund salaries decreased
$800,000, or 1.6% from fiscal year 2008-09. The reductions in salaries from reducing positions
was offset by the increases in salaries due to previously approved labor contracts.
In 2009, the City Council approved a salary decrease of 5% for council member compensation
($1,462 per month to $1,389 per month). Council member compensation remained at this
r~duced level until 2015 when the City_Council reviewed council member salaries and approved a
salary adjustment from $1,389 per month to $2,052 per month. There have been no adjustments
to council member salaries since 2015.
The adopted fiscal year 2010-11 budget reflected a total decrease of 17.25 full-time positions,
which included the elimination of 12.25 positions identified through the city's realignment
efforts during that time, as well as the elimination of 5.0 positions that were defunded in the
prior year. In addition to these changes, there were 6.0 positions that remained defunded for
fiscal year 2010-11. Budgeted General Fund salaries decreased $100,000 or 0.2% from fiscal year
2009-10. The reductions in salaries from reducing positions was offset by the increases in salaries
due to previously approved labor contracts.

For the Information of the:
• CJIV_COUNCIL
Date ~ CA ...1!'.'.:"CC .,-
CM ~ACM .....--DCM (3) _!:::::
To: Carlsbad Mayor and City Council
From: Steve Linke (Traffic and Mobility Commissioner, but submitting as a·n individual)
Subject: June 23, 2020 Item #9 -Fiscal Year 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Fee
Revisions
I requested that the Traffic and Mobility Commission be given an opportunity to review the mobility
portion of the CIP budget, in order to provide recommendations to council. That request was not
accommodated, so I will personally highlight and make recommendations on two related areas:
1. Re-allocate Trans Net Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) funds from
predominantly repair/maintenance projects to improvement projects.
2. Update the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) program (project list and fee levels) consistent with the
requirements and guidance in the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) and General Plan.
1. Re-allocate RTIP funds to improvement projects (Staff Report pp. 73-74)
Although the RTIP has evolved somewhat overtime, the original intent was to fund arterial roadway
improvements to provide regional congestion relief. Currently, 30% of the funds can be used for
maintenance and other non-congestion relief projects, including minor pavement repairs and
street/traffic lamp replacement. And the criteria for the remaining 70% that must be dedicated to
congestion relief have been relaxed to include projects like pavement overlays-as long as they are at
least one inch thick.
However, in Carlsbad's current CIP budget, nearly $70 million in RTIP funds are shown as appropriated
for the Pavement Management Program (repairs and overlays)-about $30 million having already been
spent and about $40 million to be spent over the next 15 years (p. 73). In fact, the vast majority of
Carlsbad's share of RTIP funds is being used for this purpose. In addition, over $3 million has been
appropriated for street light replacement (p. 74).
I am not opposed to the pavement program, but Carlsbad has Proposition H, which restricts the use of
general funds for improvement projects that exceed $1 million without a vote. That restriction does not
apply to repair projects like most pavement projects or lamp replacements, which can be paid by
general funds,
Thus, I think it would make more se_nse to reserve RTIP funds for the more funding-restricted
improvement projects, particularly those that reduce vehicle congestion and/or improve facilities for
pedestrians, bicycles, and transit. This is particularly important given the expanding number of deficient
street facilities that are now triggering the need to expedite CIP projects. For example, the city's
proportionate share of the College Boulevard extension seems like a far more appropriate use for RTIP
funds than pavement overlays.
1
I also think we need to seek better transparency in Carlsbad on project types and corresponding funding
mechanisms. It seems that when there are improvement projects that are not favored, the Proposition
H argument is raised as a hurdle. However, other, more favored improvement projects can be sub-
divided into multiple smaller projects under the $1 million limit, or co-mingled with a repair project to
help bypass Proposition H, or assigned other funding.
2. TIF program update
Summary of evidence that the TIF program needs an overhaul:
• The CMC says that council is expected to review the program annually to ensure sufficient
funding of circulation projects (project list and fee levels should be reviewed), but it has
languished for over 12 years without a serious update.
• Opportunities for developer funding are being squandered, potentially leaving taxpayers
responsible for future improvements necessary to maintain Growth Management Plan (GMP)
compliance.
• The 2018 reform of the LOS grading system and traffic pattern changes have significantly
modified the timing and list of street facility deficiencies relative to the last update in 2008.
• The 2015 General Plan update assigned new typologies to Carlsbad's streets, which are not
necessarily compatible with the way the TIF program is intended to work.
• There may be additional project "creep" away from the 2008 plan in some cases (e.g., TIF funds
being used to narrow a street for a project that it was supposed to widen).
• The 2015 General Plan update changed land uses.
• Recent development agreements have started to include references to developers paying into a
Transportation Demand Management (TOM) mitigation fund through the TIF, but I am unaware
of how the TIF is set up to handle that, and I have not received responses to requests for
documentation.
Background
Based on the GMP, developers are expected to pay for projects that accommodate the traffic their
developments contribute to the streets. One source of contributions comes from "conditions" placed on
developments to address the direct impacts'to street facilities within and adjacent to the development.
The other source of contributions comes from the TIF program, which is intended to address cumulative
indirect impacts to arterial streets citywide. All developers pay uniform "per unit" fees into the TIF fund
based on the average daily vehicle trips those units are predicted to generate. Both sources fund
projects like the addition of through lanes, turn lanes, sidewalks, etc.
For the TIF program, though, periodic citywide traffic analyses are supposed to be used to proactively
identify the improvements necessary to maintain compliance with the GMP performance standard,
which will not otherwise be covered by contributions from developers as conditions for their direct
impacts. Based on the findings in the traffic studies, the TIF project list is then supposed to be updated,
2
and the fee schedule is supposed to be adjusted to ensure sufficient funding.The CMC states that council
is expected to go through this process at least annually to account for changing circumstances (e.g.,
changes in anticipated traffic, land use, intensity of development, and construction-based inflation
rates). However, the program has not been updated for the last 12 years!
For the last TIF update, adopted by council on 4/8/2008, the traffic study revealed several new
projected future GMP deficiencies, and the TIF project list and fees were adjusted accordingly. Several
on the council were disappointed that they had waited so long since the previous update in 1991. Mayor
Lewis lamented the fact that, without adjusting the fees, later developers and average taxpayers would
have to disproportionately cover the costs of the projects in order to stay compliant with the GMP. And
there was discussion about looking at the TIF program in more detail at least every two years to keep it
properly updated. I encourage you to view that council meeting for further context.
Sadly, Carlsbad's faulty GMP traffic level of service (LOS) grading system, which I first reported in 2011 .
but remained in effect until 2018, exacerbates this situation. Instead of proactively predicting future
street facility deficiencies that could be accommodated by periodic adjustments to the fee schedule, the
faulty LOS grades masked the timing and/or emergence of new deficiencies, so only automatic inflation-
. based increases to the fees have been done. And now we are being hit with eight pre-existing vehicle-
based deficient street facilities, with at least four more to be reported in the coming weeks, as well as
multiple multimodal deficiencies-some of which date back as far as the time I first reported the LOS
problem.
College Boulevard extension example
The College Boulevard extehsion project can be used again as an example. The traffic study for that
project shows that the first two lanes of the extension would be filled up to around capacity solely with
traffic redistributed from Cannon Road and El Camino Real-traffic that already exists before any
additional development occurs. That is the very definition of what should be covered by TIF funds-
traffic originating from other areas. Developers adjacent to the extension should be expected to
reimburse the city for the other two lanes for their direct impacts, plus their TIF fees for citywide
impacts.
Unfortunately, the faulty LOS methods masked the emergence of the Cannon Road and El Camino Real
deficiencies, which began several years ago, and the TIF program was not reviewed to add part of the
College extension cost to the project list, so at least some opportunity has been lost.
Conclusion
This all highlights the need to update the TIF project list and fee schedule as soon as possible-before
potential additional revenue opportunities are lost. Or we may need to acknowledge that taxpayers
could end up footing a disproportionate amount of the bills, as Mayor Lewis warned in 2008.

I am Steven Elliott and I have lived in Carlsbad 10 years. I love this town and want to ensure it remains a wonderful
place to live and visit.
I am aware there is a current 6.6-acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad and a 30-acre open-
space deficit in Zone 9. I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their capital improvement program to purchase
Planning Area F and build a park at Ponto to serve residents and visitors alike. Planning Area F is currently for sale and
I request the City contact the landowner to explore purchasing the site for a needed park.
This land is the entrance to Southern Carlsbad and one of the last remaining pieces of coastal open space, it is a treasure
and should be developed into a space for all to enjoy, not squandered on residential development that would do best
located closer to employment at the Center of Carlsbad.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to build Ponto Park. We do not need more residential development we
need more open space!
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for all things Planning Area F, including the
official public records for Carlsbad's City's Budget, draft Local Coastal Program Amendment, and Parks Master Plan
Update; and the CA Coastal Commission's consideration of Carlsbad's draft Local Coastal Program Amendment.

My name is Tom Hall and I have lived in north county since 1992, and in Carlsbad for the last 12 years. My family has had
the privilege of enjoying the Ponto Beach area for many years now. They've had their birthday parties at the beach, and
we've enjoyed many many beautiful sunsets as a family. I love this City and want to ensure it remains a wonderful place
to live and visit.
I am aware there is a current 6.6-acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad and a 30-acre open-
space deficit in Zone 9. I highly recommend that the City of Carlsbad budget money in their capital improvement
program to purchase Planning Area F and build a park at Ponto to serve residents and visitors alike. Planning Area Fis
currently for sale and I request the City contact the landowner to explore purchasing the site for a needed park.
This land is the entrance to Southern Carlsbad and one of the last remaining
pieces of coastal open space, it is a treasure and should be developed into a space for all to enjoy, not squandered on
residential development that would do best located closer to employment at the Center of Carlsbad. As a certified
financial planner, and someone who has been in the financial services business for almost 30 years, I understand budget
deficits. I've served on many boards as well, and I understand the importance of financial governance, and long-term
firiancial planning. As city leaders, you were trying to do what's best for the community and that involves very tough
financial decisions. Let me get straight to the point: developing this piece of property for commercial use is not the
answer. This may bring some additional revenues to the city, but I can guarantee you long term this will be a financial
disaster for our community. More traffic, etc. etc. This will not enhance our community. The best solution is to develop
a park for individuals and families to enjoy the beauty of our little piece of heaven in South Carlsbad.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to build Ponto Park'.
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for all.things Planning Area F, including the

For the Information of the:
c;TY COUNCIL
Date(u 13:A l/CC ~
CM _.cACM .....-OCM (3) ~
There seems to be a mistake in your Open Space and Trails Budget line item for the Agua Hedionda South Shore Trail
(Hub Trail). I hope it was an honest mistake. At the last City Council budget meeting the South Shore Trail was
designated by the City Council to be a priority project, yet only $45,000 has been allocated to the trail project of the
$719,500 total cost allocated. There are zero dollars allocated for the next 2 fiscal years: 2021 -2022 and 2022 -
2023. Could you please explain? It appears, to the untrained eye, that this project is being delayed or not going to be
built at all because only approximately 6% of the total expected cost has been allocated for the next 3 years. 6% funding
over 3 years doesn't seem to be a priority project. A priority project is a funded project. That's not what the City
numbers show. I've attached a screenshot of the line item from city documents for your review.
This trail is a very political issue and one, based on repeated past actions over a number of years, that has created a lack
of trust by the citizens for the City's planning department. Please take the first steps to start restoring t hat trust by
allocating the money on an annual basis. Basically, it's time for the City to put its money where its mouth is on building
the South Shore Trail. The people spoke in Feb 2016. The Council gave its direction in 2020. City staff must comply.
Please fully fund and build that trail.
Thank you.

Dear Mayor and City Council: CM -~ ~cM (3) v---
1 am Gail Norman and I have lived in Carlsbad for over 21 years while
being a regular visitor for my entire life. My childhood accomplishments
include numerous successful complete landings after using the ski jump
ramp that was once in the lagoon. I love this City and want to ensure it
remains a wonderful place to live and visit.
I am aware there is a current 6.6-acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest
quadrant of Carlsbad and a 30-acre open-space deficit in Zone 9. I want
the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their capital improvement
program to purchase Planning Area F and build a park at Ponto to
serve residents and visitors alike. Planning Area Fis currently for sale
and I request the City contact the landowner to explore purchasing the site
for a needed park. ·
This land is the entrance to Southern Carlsbad and one of the last
remaining pieces of coastal open space, it is a treasure and should be
developed into a space for all to enjoy, not squandered on residential
development that would do best located closer to employment at the
Center of Carlsbad.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to build Ponto Park.
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records
for all things Planning Area F, including the official public records for
Carlsbad's City's Budget, draft Local Coastal Program Amendment, and
Parks Master Plan Update; and the CA Coastal Commission's
consideration of Carlsbad's draft Local Coastal Program Amendment.

I have lived ir:, Southern CA for 30 years and in Carlsbad for the last 3. This is an amazing city but I know it can be so
much more, we have an obligation to our children & all those that come to enjoy the coast line to make it more.
Arid I thank Council Member Priy Bhat-Patel and Council Member Cori Schumcher for listening to the community, voting
yes to put funds toward Ponto Park in the 6.2.2020 meeting .
. The land at Ponto (Planning area F) is a prime location to do something amazing with, something that matters and
inspires joy. I am aware that the land is for sale and DO NOT wish to see a developer turn it into a condo complex when
it could be the jewel of our City. I know the State of CA says we have to have a certain number of new houses, but they
don't say they have to be crammed into one of the last remaining pieces of open coastal land. Build housing complexes
closer to where offices and businesses are, build them inland and Project Ponto!
I know CV19 has wreaked havoc on current re~enues but also know the City is well prepared and that decisions being
made today will have long lasting effects so we must think beyond the current state.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to put money in the upcoming budget to buy the land at planning areas F to
build Ponto Park.
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for ALL things Planning Area F, including the
official public records for Carlsbad's City's Budget, draft Local Coastal Program Amendment, and Parks Master Plan

Thousands of people in Carlsbad have spoken about their priorities and the #1 reported priority is a park at Ponto. It is
owed to us. Veterans Park as a substitute will not suffice. It is too far away. It will change the look of the city in ways
which will benefit not only citizens, but visitors and local businesses as well. -
Stop making excuses about why this can't be done and take bold action that will lead to a wonderful landmark feature for
the coastal city of Carlsbad, CA.

HUGE THANK YOU to Council Member Priya Bhat -Patel and Council Member Cori Schumaker for hearing what
the community has been asking for and making a motion to put1funds toward Ponto Park!
It is disappointing and sad to hear the "too busy" rhetoric from others and see lack of action.
There is no question as to how special Ponto {Planning area F) is and what a rare opportunity The City has to develop it
into an epic property for all to enjoy.
It is obvious to so many what the City should be doing to Develop Ponto Right. The fact that the community wants
Ponto Park has been detailed in nearly 3,000 letters sent to the City and Coastal Commission, thank you for finally
paying attention. Yet, People for Ponto Supporters go unheard, unanswered and unsatisfied.
In last year's Citizen budget survey, Open Space" is mentioned 313 times, "Parks" 237 times, and "Ponto" is mentioned
87 times. "Ponto" and "Ponto Park" were also top of mind at the budget workshops as shown in the below photo and
yet the City has done nothing.
In the Carlsbad residents survey, Parks and Open Space are top priorities for Districts 2, 3 & 4 and yet the Draft LCP
proposes to change zoning to allow for building on one of the last pieces of coastal open space at Ponto.
Carlsbad's own Community vision sets the priorities of:
• Small town feel, beach community character and connectedness,
• Open space and the natural environment,
• Access to recreation and active, healthy lifestyles,
• Neighborhood revitalization, community design and livability
It's obvious Carlsbad Citizens and visitors of have spoken -now it's time for all The Council to act.

Carlsbad Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment -130-pages of 6-2-20 Public Input
to City Council on Ponto Coastal Park need and request Council Budget to address the
need -part 1 of 4 ·
Citizen input on City Budget & Ponto Coastal Park Needs 1 of 4 and 32 pages.pdf
Dear City of Carlsbad and CA Coastal Commission:
People for Ponto would like to submit the following public input for the 6/23/20 City Budget Meeting and on the City
Staff proposed Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment to change the land use of Planning Area F from its Existing Non-
. Residential Reserve land use to City proposed low-coastal priority high-density residential and general commercial land
uses. The public input had to be divided into four (4) parts due to the file size of the 130-pages of Citizen input.
As opposed what was said by 2 Council members on 6/2/20 the City's LCP policy covering Planning Area Fis not a
Citywide LCP policy, but is specific to the Sammis/Poinsettia Shores LCP area, and the policy's scope and regulatory
authority is limited by the boundaries of the Sammis/Poins~ttia Shores LCP area.
There is however an additional Citywide Coastal Recreation issue related to CCC concerns about Carlsbad's proposed
LUP land use changes and proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) adequately providing for a 'buildout'
need for Coastal Recreation land. It is not clear if 'buildout' is a set final amount of City and State population and
development or represents accommodating an endless amount of population and development in Carlsbad and the
State of California. If 'Buildout' is an endless amount of population growth and development, then how is an endless
amount of City Parks and Open Space provided, and how is an endless amount of Coastal Recreation provided to
accommodate en~less statewide growth? The preservation and acquisition of vacant Coastal land should be a City
priority until these questions can permanently answered; because once land is developed it will never be available for
Park and Coastal Recreation use.
Two City Council motions [1/28/20 & 6/2/20] to specifically address Planning Area F's site specific LCP requirements to
consider and document the "Public Park" needs were rejected by a 2-2 City Council tie. These 2-2 rejections have been
extremely frustrating for Carlsbad citizens, adjacent citizens in our Coastal Zone, and some visitors in that about 3,000
emailed requests/p~tions citing the obvious and documented Park Need at Ponto and asking the City and Council to
address the City's documented "Park Inequity" at Ponto and Ponto being outside the "Park Service Area". Citizens
provided 130-pages of additional public testimony on 6/2/20 citing the Ponto Park need and also asking the City to
budget for that need.
The City at its 1/28/20 City Council meeting for the 1st time started to acknowledge over 15-years of the City's "Ponto
planning mistakes" that the CA Coastal Commission and CA Coastal Commission Staff first identified in their 2010
rejection ofthe City's proposed Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan LCPA.
These over 15-years of City "Ponto planning mistakes" were particularly destructive in that the City did not fully-openly-
publicly disclose to citizens the existence of the Planning Area F LCP policy/regulations and other City Park
supply/demand information. Thus the City's "Ponto planning mistakes" perverted and prevented public participation in
1
City and Coastal planning for over the past 15-years. Citizens can't participate in the Coastal [or City] planning process if
they are not provided correct information, and allowed to use correct information to consider and then provide
informed public input. City Commissions and the City Council are also hindered in making informed decisions if citizen
input is compromised by withholding or misrepresenting information used to provide Citizen Input to City Commissions
and Council. The City has had a fundamentally flawed planning process at Ponto going back over 15-years. You can't
correct these significant and long-standing flaws with a quick 'gloss-over', or by ignoring or hiding it. The significant
public input now about Ponto Coastal Park needs is due to the City's flawed planning processes and citizens only
recently; and partially, becoming aware of the City's "Ponto planning mistakes", documented "Park Inequity", and City
Park and Open Space deficits at Ponto.
Citizens are concerned that after all the following public requests to address the Ponto Coastal Park needs, and the City's
now acknowledged over 15-years of City "Ponto planning mistakes" there are some on the City Council that still appear --.
to continue to not follow the City's and State's site specific Planning Area F LCP policy within the Sammis/Poinsettia
Shores LCP, and even after the following significant public comments into the City Council. Citizens can't understand
why some on the City Council, and Staff, are purposely not forthcoming or misleading Citizens on vital Ponto planning
information, and then ignoring citizen input such as:
1. Over 2,500 emails and signed petitions citing the need for Ponto Coastal Park and asking the City Council to
address that need,

For the Information of the:

Dear Carlsbad City Council:
This budget should address both short-term Covid-19 impacts, and near/longer~term investments needed for Economic
Recovery and Revitalization.
The quality of our Carlsbad coastline, Coastal Parks, and open spaces are continually rated by Carlsbad citizens and
businesses as the critical foundation of our quality of life, economic strength, and tourism industry. Ponto Coastal Park is
a critically needed investment, and the last opportunity for the City to make an investment for Carlsbad's long-term
sustainability. South Carlsbad Citizens, visitors, and the Visitor Industry have no Southern Coastal Park. Ponto is the
only place to provide that needed investment for residents and visitors, and to advance Economic Recovery and
Revitalize Sout~ Carlsbad's significant Visitor Industry. Coastal Recreation is the major attraction for visitors.
With these understandings, we submit this testimony and attachment. The attachment highlights significant numbers of
citizens asking for a Ponto Coastal Park as documented in the FY 2019-20 Budget Public Input Report; and notes
concerns about Report dilution of specific citizen input provided at both the March 4, 2019 and 2020 Workshops.
The need for a Ponto Park was the most frequent specific place need/desire citizens mentioned in the Public Input
process. The attached documents 85 specific, verbatim citizen comments on Ponto area park needs and over 90% of
these citizens request that Council budget to address this need. These 85 Verbatim Citizen comments specifically ·
address how they would like their (Park) tax dollars budgeted. Additionally, 2,500 similar public input email/petitions
submitted as public comments on Carlsbad's Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment and Park Master Plan Update
processes spoke to the need for a Ponto Coastal Park.
1 . I

As you know, the 11-acre Ponto Planning Area F site is for sale. This site is similar in size/shape as Holiday Park,
providing a Coastal site for similar multipurpose community functions. Carlsbad's Local Costa! Program (and thus
General Plan and Zoning Code) requires the City to first consider and document the need for a "Public Park" before any
land use can be.planned for the Planning Area F site.
The City's Park Master Plan already documents the need for a Ponto "Public Park", showing the area as "unserved" by
City Parks and ~n area of Park "inequity" correlating well with Citizen input.
The City also received offers of potential donations and cost-saving collaborations from Carlsbad Citizens and non-profits
to advance the much needed Ponto Coastal Park. The City disappointingly has not replied to these extraordinary
opportunities.
Therefore, it is requested the City budget for a Ponto Coastal Park and contact the Planning Area F landowner
regarding site purchase, ·
Consistent with Budget Public Input Report page 3, pleas~ provide this testimony and attachment to the Planning and
Parks Commissions; and Coastal Commission as public input on the City Staff's proposed 1) City Budget, 2) Draft Local
Coastal Program Amendment, and 3) Parks Master Plan Update. ·

Dear Mayor Hall, Carlsbad City Council, and California Coastal Commission:
I am informed that
1. Carlsbad must consider on Planning Area Fat Ponto the need for a public park at Ponto as part of the Draft Local ·
Coastal Program Amendment ·
2. There is no public park at Ponto even though City Park Standards requires a minimum of 6.5 acres of parkland
· for Ponto.
3. There is a current 6.6 acre park deficit in Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad, (south of Palomar Airport
Road and west of El Camino Real). ·
4. There are no Coastal Parks in all of South Carlsbad. 64,000 South Carlsbad citizens have no Coastal Park.
5. Ponto is at the center of a larger 6-mile stretch of coastline in that has no Coastal Parks.
6. Ponto has a city documented 30 acre open-space standard deficit that a Coastal Park would ~elp resolves.
7. And most importantly, I am informed that the City is currently !gnoring these issues and in the Draft Local
Coastal Program Amendment is proposing to eliminate the last opportunity to create a much needed Coastal
Park at Ponto
Acco'rdingly, I am requesting and making my position known that:
I want the Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment to provide for a Coastal Park at Ponto.
I want the City to provide a true Citizen-based Park Planning process for Ponto.
I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their capital improvement program to purchase Planning Area F and build
a park at Ponto to serve residents and visitors alike. · ·
I want to preserve what little Coastal Open Space Carlsbad has remaining for future generations and our visitor industry.
I am not in favor of future residential development at Ponto, but think this last small amount of vacant Coastal land
should be reserved for Coastal Recreation.

Subject: 2020-2021 FY Budget Hearing 2 June 2020
In your upcoming budget' hearing on June 2nd you will be getting transmitted testimony from People
for Ponto urging the members of the Council to take formal action when adopting the 2020-2021
budget to set aside funds for the acquisition of the current Ponto Planning Area F site to finally fulfill
the· City's.obligation under the Growth Management Plan to provide three acres of park property per
1,000 city residents.
The City acknowledges that a shortfall of 6.5 acres remains to be addressed to fulfill this obligation to
the Ponto area and its surrounding neighborhoods to the north and east.
This budget should address both short-term Covid-19 impacts, and both the near and longer-term
investments needed for Economic Recovery and Revitalization.
The quality of the Carlsbad coastline, existing Northern Coastal Parks and open spaces are
continually rated by Carlsbad's citizens and businesses as the critical foundation of our quality of life
and economic vitality which relies heavily on the hospitality industry. A Coastal Park at Ponto is a
critically needed investment. As. such it represents the last opportunity for the City to make an
investment for Carlsbad's long-term sustainability. South Carlsbad citizens, visitors, and the
hospitality Industry have no Southern Coastal Park.· Ponto is the only remaining place to provide the
needed investment for both resider,ts and visitors and at the same time advance economic recovery
and revitalization of South Carlsbad's significant hospitality industry. A you know and the Carlsbad
Visitors Bureau has noted over and over coastal recreation is the #1 attraction for visitors even more
popular than Lego Land
As you know by now a significant number of citizens have submitted testimony to th.is desire at both
the FY 2019-20 Budget Public Input Report (notwithstanding the dilution of specific citizen input
provided at both the March 4, 2019 and 2020 Workshops).
Citizen input on the need for a Ponto Park was the #1 specific place need and desire citizens
mentioned in the Public Input process. More than 85 specific citizen comments on Ponto area park

sonie 2,500 similar public input emails and petitions have been submitted as public comments on

I have been told that the members of the Council know that the 11-acre Ponto Planning Area F site is

The City has also informally received offers of potential donations, or cost-saving collaborations from
Carlsbad citizens and non-profits to advance the much-needed Ponto Coastal Park. I have been told
that, to date, the City disappointingly has not replied to these special opportunities.
I have also noted that a recent report on the City's investments of funds shows the City has deposits
and investments in excess of $750,000,000. To me that means that money is not the issue, its what
the priority for spending funds is to address the needs and desires of the citizens of the City and the
promises made by the City in the past which it now recognizes it has failed to live up to.
Therefore, it is my hope that the City will reserve $11,000,000 for a Ponto Coastal Park in the
upcoming year's budget and initiate contact with the current owner of Planning Area F site regarding
its pu·rchase. ·

Master Plan Update Public Input -FW: 2020-2021 FY Budget Hearing 2 June 2020
Please read following email into the record at the June City Council Budget meeting(s):
Dear City Council and CA Coastal Commission:
We request this and the following email to also be included as Public Input for the City's/CCC's Draft Local Coas.tal
Program Amendment and Par.ks Master Plan Update processes. An email confirmation of those inclusions is
requested. lhank you.
There is a glaring C1ty and regional need for Coastal Park in South Carlsbad as has been well documented and expressed
by a significant number of citizens and visitors. The Carlsbad City Council has the ability to address this need with a
Ponto Coastal Park, as the site is required by the City's Local Coastal Program to be studied for a "Public Park", the site is
for sale, and the City has the policy/regulatory justification and financial capacity/flexibility to make this much needed
investment in Coastal Recreation and our important Visitor Serving Industry in South Carlsbad. Ponto Coastal Park is
sound long-term investment in the fiscal sustainability and quality of life in Carlsbad.
We love Carlsbad and our Coast. As has been communicated to the City on many occasion, but receiving no City
response, citizens are working to generate donations/collaborations to help the City or State of California advance a
Ponto Coastal Park .
. Citizens have also repeatedly asked for a true and honest Community-based (not developer based) Coastal planning
process for Ponto. The City Staff finally after 3-years on 1/28/20 acknowledged that the City made multiple "Ponto
planning mistakes" dating back over 10-years. These multiple mistakes were first documented in the 2010 CA Coastal
Commission's denial of the {developer focused) Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan. These City "Ponto planning
mistakes" denied citizens to fully understand issues so as to participate in the prior Ponto planning processes.
I request the City Council:
• Acknowledge the multiple decade long City "Ponto planning mistakes" and those multiple City mistakes flawed
prior City planning at Ponto.
1
• Acknowledge the clear documented and significant citizen expressed need for Ponto Coastal Park in the Budget,
DLCPA and PMPU processes.
• Correct _those City "mistakes11 by providing a PontoToastal ParJ< as part of this budget process
• Direct staff to provide a true community-based Coastal planning process for Ponto that will correct the past City
mistakes and help design Ponto Coastal Park.
Please know I love Carlsbad and our coast, and am fiscally prudent. Ponto Coastal Park is a valuable and cost effective
investment for future generations of Carlsbad citizens and visitors.
Sincerely,
Lance Schulte
34-year Carlsbad citizen

My name.is Tom Hall, and I have been a current resident of Carlsbad since 2008. I have lived in the Encinitas/Carlsbad
area for over 20 years. I'm an executive for a major life insurance company, and work with thousands of insurance
agents around the country. I attend church locally, volunteer locally and have spent many years celebrating life with my
family down at Ponto Beach. You can often find me three times a week running the stairs just below the new Encinitas
Beach Hotel project, or possibly watching a sunset with my wife. And at least once a week I will park on Ponto Road and
head north up on 101 for a nice jog. We are blessed to live in a beautiful area. And it is so important that we keep it
beautiful, and unique, and special. Adding more shopping centers, housing, restaurants or other development is not a
good solution for our community. In my humble opinion, it ~ill only create more traffic and slowly erode the unique
beauty of this area. That is why I am asking you to please consider funding for a new park. Parks and trails provide our
citizens opportunities to enjoy nature, the beach, fitness and spending time with family and friends. I urge you to highly .
consider establishing a park in the Ponto area that is currently be considered for development. Let's do the right thing.

Please read at the June 2nd City Council ~eeting Agenda Item: Budget
My name is Catherine Jain. I have lived in South Carlsbad for 20 years. In the Ponto area, you have the exceedingly
rare o_pportunity to thoughtfully plan a large piece of undeveloped coastal Southern California property in a way
that benefits all residents. Open space must be a part of that plan. Please allocate funds to purchase Planning
Area Fin order to develop a public park. With this plan, you wiH eliminate the 6.6.-acre park deficit in the
southwest quadrant of the city, but this plan represents so much more than that. A beautiful coastal park at the
south entrance to the city sets a specific tone. We are not just about residential development and we are not just
about attracting large employers, although those two goals are clearly important. We are also about quality of
life. We are about balance. We are about equal-opportunity access to our beautiful coastline. We are about
community. But without places to gather, there can be no community. Hindsight being 20/20, what will you think
when this project is complete? Will you think, "I'm so happy we filled that property with more houses", or will you
think, "I'm so happy we created that beautiful park."
Embrace this opportunity. Make Ponto an exceptional place ~or our community to gather. Build Ponto Park.
I requestthat my comments be put on record in the official public records for all things Planning Area F, including
the official public records for Carlsbad's City's Budget, draft Local Coastal Program Amendment, and Parks Master
Plan Update;.and the CA Coastal Commission's consideration of Carlsbad's draft Local Coastal Program
Amendment.

Dear Mayor Hall, Carlsbad City Council, and California ,Coastal Commission:
I an, informed that
1. Carlsbad must consider on Planning Area Fat Ponto the need for a public park at Ponto as part of the Draft Local
Coastal Program Amendment.
2. There is no public park at Ponto even though City Park Standards requires a minimum of 6.5 acres of parkland
for Ponto.
3. There is a current 6.6 acre park deficit in Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad, (south of Palomar Airport
Road and west of El Camino Real).
4. There are no Coastal Parks in all of South Carlsbad. 64,000 South Carlsbad citizens have no Coastal Park.
5. Ponto is at the center of a larger 6-mile stretch of coastline in that has no Coastal Parks.
6. · Ponto has a city documented 30 acre open-space standard deficit that a Coastal Park would help resolves.
1. And most importantly; I am informed that the City is currently ignoring these issues and in the Draft Local
Coastal Program Amendment is proposing to eliminate the last opportunity to create a much needed Coastal
Park at Ponto
Accordingly, I am requesting and making my position known that: .
I want_ the Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment to provide for a Coastal Park at Ponto.
I want the City to provide a true Citizen-based Park Planning process for Ponto.
I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their-capital improvement program to purchase Planning Area F and build
a park at Ponto to serve ·residents and visitors alike.
I want to preserve what. little Coastal Open Space Carlsbad has remaining for future generations and our visitor industry ..
I am not in favor of future residential development at Ponto, but think this last small amount of vacant Coastal land
should be reserved for Coastal Recreation.
This last bit of land should be used for a park/recreation to encourage and promote healthy living, while also allowing
1
users to enjoy the incredible coastal scenery.

I 'm told there is a current 6:6-acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest

This land is the southern entrance to Carlsbad along Hwy 101 and one of the last

enhancement to our city, particularly to those of us in the southwest quadrant.
Along with the new 5-star hotel currently being built on the border of Carlsbad

I am Nelson Ross and I have lived in Carlsbad since 1977 I love this City and want to ensure it remains a wonderful place
to live a·nd visit.
I am aware there is a current 6.6-acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad and a 30-acre open-
space deficit in Zone 9. I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their capital improvement program to purchase
Planning Area F and build a park at Ponto to serve residents and visitors alike. Planning Area Fis currently for sale and
I request the City contact the landowner to explore purchasing the site for a needed park.
This land is the entrance to Southern Carlsbad and one of the last remaining pieces of coastal open space, it is a treasure
and should be developed into a space for all to enjoy, not squandered on residential development that would do best
located closer to employment at the Center of Carlsbad.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to build Ponto Park.
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for all things Planning Area F, including the
official public records for Carlsbad's City's Budget; draft Local Coastal Program Amendment, and Parks Master ~Ian
Update; and the CA Coastal Commission's consideration of Carlsbad's draft Local Coastal Program Amendment.
Thank you,

We are Annie & Rich Gallagher and have lived in Carlsbad for 20 years as original homeowners. We love where we live
as it is a wonderful community of neighbors and merchants. Many from out of town visit Carlsbad as a destination spot for
their yearly vacation spot.· The Carlsbad Camp Ground is directly across the street from San Pacifico where we live. Until
recently, Rich has worked at nearby SeaPointe/Hilton Grand Vacations and directs local visitors to nearby attractions.
I am aware there Is a current 6.6 acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest portion of Carlsbad. I want the City of
Carlsbad to budget in their improvement program to purchase Planning Area F and build a park in Planning Area F, which
is currently for sale. We are requesting the City explore purchasing the site for a needed park which was part of the ,
original promised plan and and is now known to be a planning mistake violated by both City and State Local Coastal
Programs. · ·
This land is the entrance to Southern Carlsbad and one of the last remaining spaces. It is a treasure and should be
developed into a space for all to enjoy. I ask you to DEVELOP PONTO RIGHT -build Ponto Park.
We are requesting our comments be put on record in the official public records for Carlsbad's City-Budget and Parks
Master Plan Update and the California Coastal Commission/Carlsbad's draft /Local Coastal Program Amendment.

Carlsbad Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment -130-pages of 6-2-20 Public Input
to City Council on Ponto Coastal Park need and request Council Budget to address the
need -part 2 of 4
Citizen input on City Budget & Ponto Coastal Park Needs 2 of 4 and 42 pages.zip
Dear City of Carlsbad and CA Coastal Commission:
People for Ponto would like to submit the following public input for the 6/23/20 City Budget Meeting and on the City
Staff proposed Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment to change the land use of Planning Area F from its Existing Non-
Residential Reserve land use to City proposed low-coastal priority high-density residential and general commercial land
uses .. The public input had to be divided into four (4) parts due to the file size of the 130-pages of Citizen input.
As opposed what was said by 2 Council members on 6/2/20 the City's LCP policy covering Planning Area Fis not a
Citywide LCP policy, but is specific to the Sammis/Poinsettia Shores LCP area, and the policy's scope and regulatory
authority is limited by the boundaries of the Sammis/Poinsettia Shores LCP area.
There is however an additional Citywide Coastal Recreation issue related to CCC concerns about Carlsbad's proposed
LUP land use changes and proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) adequately providing for a 'buildout'
need for Coastal Recreation land. It is not clear if 'buildout' is a set final amount of City and State population and
development or represents accommodating an endless amount of population and development in Carlsbad and the
State of California. If 'Buildout' is an endless amount of population growth and development, then how is an endless
amount of City Parks and Open Space provided, ~nd how is an endless amount of Coastal Recreation provided to
accommodate endless statewide growth? The preservation and acquisition of vacant Coastal land should be a City
priority until these questions can permanently answered; because once land is developed it will never be available for . .
Park and Coastal Recreation use.
Two City Council motions [1/28/20 & 6/2/20] to specifically address Planning Area F's site specific LCP requirement~ to
consider and document the "Public Park" needs were rejected by a 2-2 City Council tie. These 2-2 rejections have been
extremely frustrating for Carlsbad citizens, adjacent citizens in our Coastal Zone, and some visitors in that about 3,000
emailed requests/potions citing the obvious and documented Park Need at Ponto and asking the City and Council to
address the City's documented "Park Inequity'' at Ponto and Ponto being outside the "Park Service Area". Citizens
provided 130-pages of additional public testimony on 6/2/20 citing the Ponto Park need and also asking the City to
budget for that need.
The City at its 1/28/20 City Council meeting for the 1st time started to acknowledge over 15-years of the City's "Ponto
planning mistakes" that the CA Coastal Commission and CA Coastal Commission Staff first identified in their 2010
rejection of the City's proposed Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan LCPA.
These over 15-years of City "Ponto planning mistakes" were particularly destructive in that the City d-id not fully-openly-
publicly disclose to citizens the existence of the Planning Area F LCP policy/regulations and other City Park
supply/demand information. Thus the Ci'ty's "Ponto planning mistakes" perverted and prevented public participation in
1
City and Coastal planning for over the past 15-years. Citizens can't participate in the Coastal [or City] planning process if
they are not provided correct information, and allowed to use correct information to consider and then provide
informed public input. City Commissions and the City Council are also hindered in making informed decisions if citizen
input is compromised by withholding or misrepresenting information used to provide Citizen Input to City Commissions
and Council. The City has had a fundamentally flawed planning process at Ponto going back over 15-years. You can't
correct these significant and long-standing flaws with a quick 'gloss-over', or by ignoring or hiding it. The significant
public input now about Ponto Coastal Park needs is due to the City's flawed planning processes and citizens only
recently, and partially, becoming aware ofthe City's "Ponto planning mistakes", documented "Park Inequity", and City
Park and Open Space deficits at Ponto.
Citizens are concerned that after all the following public requests to address the Ponto Coastal Park needs, and the City's
now acknowledged over 15-years of City "Ponto planning mistakes" there are some on the City Council that still appear
to continue to not follow the City's and State's site specific Planning Area F LCP policy within the Sammis/Poinsettia
Shores LCP, and even after the following significant public comments into the City Council. Citizens can't understand
why some on the City Council, and Staff, are purposely not forthcoming or misleading Citizens on vital Ponto planning
information, and then ignoring citizen input such as: .
1. Over 2,500 emails and signed petitions citing the need for Ponto Coastal Park and asking the City Council to
address that need,
2. 85 citizens identifying Ponto Coastal Park as the most requested specific facility need for the City Council to
budget coming out of the City's Budget Public Input Process.
3. 130-pages of public testimony at the 6/2/20 City Council Budget meeting citing the need to fund acquisition of
Ponto Coastal Park [see 4 attached files],
4. Multiple requests by citizen and Coastal related non-profits to meet with the City to try to address the Ponto
Coastal Park needs and opportunities for productive collaboration to address the need. The City has not
responded to these multiple requests to meet.
Documented Public input on 6/2/20 City Council Meeting Budget [agenda item #8] at City website: This link is to the
same data as the attached 4 files of 130-pages of public input on the Ponto Coastal Park Needs and the request the City
Council Budget for that need. We request these 130-pages of public input be included as DLCPA public input by the City
and CCC, and particularly for City staff proposed land use changes to Planning Area Fat Ponto:
https://www.carlsbadca.gov/cityhall/clerk/meetings/default.asp
Documented video of 1/28/20 City Staff proposed Draft LCP Amendment introduction, and 6/2/20 City Council Meeting
Budget [agenda item #8] at City website: The videos present heartfelt and logical Citizen testimony, and show the City
Council twice by 2-2 tie failing to addressing the specific exi.sting LCP land use requirements/regulations for Planning
Area Fat Ponto. We request these City Council actions be included as DLCPA information for the CA Coastal Commission
to consider on how the City is apparently not addressing existing LCP Policy regarding Planning Area Fat Ponto, and not
addressing high-priority Coastal Recreation needs at Ponto:

Dear Mayor Hall, Carlsbad City Council, and California Coastal Commission:
I am informed that
1. Carlsbad must consider on Planning Area Fat Ponto the need for a public park at Ponto as part of the Draft Local
Coastal Program Amendment. .
2. ,:here is no public park cit Ponto even though City Park Standards requires a minimum of 6.5 acres of parkland
for Ponto.
3. There is a current 6.6 acre park deficit in Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad, (south of Palomar Airport
Roa.d and west of.El Camino Real). .
4. There are no Coastal Parks in all of South Carlsbad. 64,000 South Carlsbad citizens have no Coastal Park.
5. Ponto is at the center of a la.rger 6-mile stretch of coastline in that has no Coastal Parks.
6. Ponto has a city documented 30 acre open-space standard deficit that a Coastal Park would help resolves. ,
7. And most importantly, I am informed that the City is currently ignoring these issues and in the Draft Local
Coastal Program Amendment is proposing to eliminate the last opportunity to create a much needed Coastal
Park at Ponto
Accordingly, I am requesting and making my position known that:
I want the Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment to provide foJ a Coastal Park at Ponto.
I want the City to provide a true Citizen-based Park Planning process for Ponto.
I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their capital improvement program to purchase Planning Area F and build
a park at Ponto to serve residents and visitors alike. ·
I want to preserve what little Coastal Open Space Carlsbad has remaining for future generations and our visitor industry.
I am not in favor of future residential development at Ponto, but think this last small amount of vacant Coastal land
should be reserved for Coastal Recreation.

I am copying in some text that has been prepared to request that the city resolve the park deficit in
Coastal Southwest Carlsbad. I feel very passionately about this, and disappointed in Carlsbad
government for not addressing this iss1.1e. It seems like the plan is being disregarded. I'm typically
happy with our local government, but this issue causes me a lot of concern, and makes me
concerned about our leadership.
I am aware there is a current 6.6-acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad and
· a 30-acre open-space deficit in Zone 9. I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their
capital improvement program to purchase Planning Area F and build a park at Ponto to serve
residents and visitors alike. Planning Area F is currently for sale and I request the City contact the
landowner to explore purchasing -the site for a needed park. · ·
This land is the entrance to Southern Carlsbad and one of the last remaining pieces of coastal open
space, it is a treasure and should be developed into a space for all to enjoy, not squandered on
residential development that would do best located closer to employment at the Center of Carlsbad.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to build Ponto Park.
. .
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for all things Planning Area

Carlsbad's draft Local Coastal Program Amendment.

Accordingly, I am requesting and making my position known that:
I want the Draft local Coastal Program Amendment to provide for a Coastal Park at Ponto.
I want the City to provide a true Citizen-based Park Planning process for Ponto.
I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their capital improvement program to purchase Planning Area F and build
a park at Ponto to serve residents and visitors alike. .
I want to preserve what little Coastal Open Space Carlsbad has remaining for future generations and our visitor industry.

Carlsbad Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment -130-pages of 6-2-20 Public Input
to City Council on Ponto Coastal Park need and request Council Budget to address the
need -part 4 of 4
Citizen input on City Budget & Ponto Coastal Park Needs 4 of 4 and 6 pages.pdf
Dear Chy of Carlsbad and CA Coastal Commission:
People for Ponto would like to submit the following public input for the 6/23/20 City Budget Meeting and on the City
Staff proposed Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment to change the land use of Planning Area F from its Existing Non-
Residential Reserve land use to City proposed low-coastal priority high-density residential and general commercial land
uses. The public input had to_ be divided into four (4) parts due to the file size of the 130-pages of Citizen input.
As'opposed what was said by 2 Council members on 6/2/20 the City's LCP policy covering Planning Area Fis not a
Citywide LCP policy, but is specific to the Sammis/Poinsettia Shores LCP area, and the policy's scope and regulatory
authority is limited by the boundaries of the Sammis/Poinsettia Shores LCP area.
There is however an additional Citywide Coastal Recreation issue related to CCC concerns about Carlsbad's proposed
LUP land use changes and proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) adequately providing for a 'buildout'
need for Coastal Recreation land. It is not clear if 'buildout' is a set final amount of City and State population and
development or represents accommodating an endless amount of population and development in Carlsbad and the
State of California. If 'Buildout' is an endless amount of population growth and development, then how is an endless
amount of City Parks and Open Space provided, and how is an endless amount of Coastal Recreation provided to
accommodate endless statewide growth? The preservation and acquisition of vacant Coastal land should be a City
priority until these questions can permanently answered; because once land is developed it will never be available for
Park and Coastal Recreation use.
Two City Council motions [1/28/20 & 6/2/20] to specifically address Planning Area F's site specific LCP requirements to
consider and document the "Public Park" needs were rejected by a 2-2 City Council tie. These 2-2 rejections have been
extremely frustrating for Carl_sbad citizens, adjacent citizens in our Coastal Zone, and some visitors in that about 3,000
emailed requests/potions citing the obvious and documented Park Need at Ponto and asking the City and Council to
address the City's documented "Park Inequity" at Ponto and Ponto being outside the "Park Service Area". Citizens
provided 130-pages of additional public testimony on 6/2/20 citing the Ponto Park need and also asking the City to
budget for that need.
The City at its 1/28/20 City Council meeting for the p t time started to acknowledge over 15-years of the City's "Ponto
planning mistakes" that the CA Coastal Commission and CA Coastal Commission Staff first identified in their 2010
rejection of the City's proposed Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan LCPA.
These over 15-years of City "Ponto planning mistakes" were particularly destructive in that the City did not fully-openly-
publicly disclose to citizens the existence of the Planning Area F LCP policy/regulations and other City Park
supply/demand information. Thus the City's "Ponto planning mistakes" perverted and prevented public participation in
1
City and Coastal planning for over the past 15-years. Citizens can't participate in the Coastal [or City] planning process if
they are not provided correct information, and allowed tp use correct infC?rmation to con~ider and then provide
informed public input. City Commissions and the City Council are also hindered in making informed decisions if citizen
input is compromised by withholding or misrepresenting information used to provide Citizen Input to City Commissions
and Council. The City has had a fundamentally flawed planning process at Ponto going back over 15-years. You can't
correct these significant and long-standing flaws with.a quick 'gloss-over', or by ignoring or hiding it. The significant
public input now about Ponto Coastal Park needs is due to the City's flawed planning processes and citizens only
recently, and partially, becoming aware ofthe City's "Ponto planning mistakes", documented "Park Inequity", and City
Park and Open Space deficits at Ponto.
Citizens are concerned that after all the following public· requests to address the Ponto Coastal Park needs, and the City's
now acknowledged over 15-years of City "Ponto planning mistakes" there are some on the City Council that still appear
to continue to not follow the City's and State's site specific Planning Area F LCP policy within the Sammis/Poinsettia
· Shores LCP, and even after the following significant public comments into the City Council. Citizens can't understand
why some on the City Council, and Staff, are purposely not forthcoming or misleading Citizens on vital Ponto planning
information, and then ignoring citizen input such as:
1. Over 2,500 emails and signed petitions citing the need for Ponto Coastal Park and asking the City Council to
address that need,
2. 85 citizens identifying Ponto Coastal Park as the most requested specific facility need for.the City Council to
budget coming out of the City's Budget Public Input Process.
3. 130-pages of public testimony at the 6/2/20 City Council Budget meeting citing the need to fund acquisition of
Ponto Coastal Park [see 4 attached files],
4. Multiple requests by citizen and Coastal related non-profits to meet with the City to try to add_ress the Ponto
Coastal Park needs and opp_ortunities for productive collaboration to address the need. The City has not
responded to these multiple requests to meet.
Documented Public input on 6/2/20 City Council Meeting Budget [agenda item #8] at City website: This link is to the
same data as the attached 4 files of 130-pages of public input on the Ponto Coastal Park Needs and the request the City
Council Budget for that need. We request these 130-pages of public input be included as DLCPA public input by the City
and CCC, and particularly for City staff proposed land use changes to Planning Area Fat Ponto:

Documented video of 1/28/20 City Staff proposed Draft LCP Amendment introduction, and 6/2/20 City Council Meeting
Budget [agenda item #8] at City website: The videos present heartfelt and logical Citizen testimony, and show the City
Council twice by 2-2 tie failing to addressing the specific existing LCP land use requirements/regulations for Planning
Area _F at Ponto. We request these City Council actions be included as DLCPA information for the CA Coastal Commission
to consider on how the City is apparently not addressing existing LCP Policy r~garding Planning Area Fat Ponto, and not
addressing high-priority Coastal Recreation needs at Ponto:

Please read into public comment at June 2nd City Council meeting regarding agenda
item 8 budget ·
I have lived in Southern CA for 30 years and in Carlsbad for the last 3. This is an amazing city but I know it can be so
much more, we have an obligation to our children & all those that come to enjoy the coast line to make it more.
The land at Ponto (Planning area F) is a prime location to do something amazing with, something· that matters and
. inspires joy. I am aware that the land is for sale and DO NOT wish to see a developer turn it into a condo complex when
it could be the jewel of our City. I know the State of CA says we have to have a certain number of new houses, but they
don't say they have to be crammed into one of the last remaining pieces of open coastal land. Build housing complexes
closer to where offices and businesses are, build them inland and Project Ponto! '
I know CV19 has wreaked havoc on current revenues but also know the City is well prepared and that decisions being
made today will have long lasting effects so we must think beyond the current state.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to put money in the upcoming budget to buy the land at planning areas F to
build Ponto Park.
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for ALL things Planning Area F, including the
official public records for Carlsbad's City's Budget, draft Local Coastal Program Amendment, and Parks Master Plan
Update; and the CA Coastal Commission's consideration of Carlsbad's draft Local Coastal Program Amendment.
Thank you

. CM_,.~~CM {3)_
Dear Carlsbad Mayor and City Council Members:
As the City of Carlsbad considers the FY21 budget today, I urge the City to put budget towards parks and open spaces in
South Carlsbad, particularly the Ponto Beach area. The open lot at the corner of 101 and Avenida Encinas is the last
open space in the Ponto Beach area. It is an important gateway to Carlsbad and provides an opportunityto create a
community space/park for visitors and tourists alike. ·
A high-density condo project does not make sense in the space or the neighborhood there. I'm hopeful that the city
will work to create community space that will benefit citizens, visitors and keep our beach area al') attractive area we can
all be proud of. Our beach areas are precious and worth the invest~ent. Thank you for your consideration.
Thank you for your service to Carlsbad!
Sincerely,
Bonnie Shaw
20-year Carlsbad resident

Please read into public comment at June 2nd City Council budget meeting, item 8 for
Ponto Park / 353 words
I've volunteered with People for Ponto for a few years and am amazed at the dedication, experience and the wealth of
knowledge the team has. I, myself, still get.confused at the difference between the Master Plan, the General Plan, the
LCP, ect, ect ....
But what I am not at all confused about is how special Ponto (Planning area F) is and what a rare opportunity The City ·
has to develop it into an epic property for all to enjoy.
Actionsthe City should take to Develop Ponto Right are so obvious. The fact that the community want~ Ponto Park is so
obvious and has been detailed in nearly 3,000 letters sent to the City and Coastal Commission.
And yet, People for Ponto Supporters go unheard, unanswered and unsatisfied.
In last year's Citizen budget survey, Open Space" is mentioned 313 times, "Parks" 237 times, and "Ponto" is mentioned
87 times. "Ponto" and "Ponto Park'' were also top of mind at the budget workshops as shown in the below photo and
yet the City has done nothing.
In the Carlsbad residents survey, Parks and Open Space are top priorities for Districts 2, 3 & 4 and yet the Draft LCP
proposes to change zoning to· allow for buildi'ng on one of the last pieces of coastal open space at Ponto.
Carlsbad's own Community vision sets the priorities of:
• Small town feel, beach community character and connectedness,
• Open space and the natural environment,
• Access to recreation and active, healthy.lifestyles,
• Neighborhood revitalization, community design and livability
It's obvious Carlsbad Citizens and visitors of have spoken -now it's time for The Council to act.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right -I ask you budget money to buy the land available at Planning Area F and
build Ponto Park.
.f
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for ALL things Planning Area F, including the
official p~blic records for Carlsbad's City's Budget, Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment, and Parks Master Plan
Update; and the CA Co~stal Commission's consideration of Carlsbad's Draft Local Coastal Program Amendment.
Thank you

I wish to have my comment read into the record at City Council meeting for Agenda
Item 8
I request that Carlsbad budgets for purchasing Planning Area F (the land at Ponto) for
the purposes of a park for the use of residents, who desperately need open Coastal park
space to enjoy. There are significant current deficiencies in Open Space and Park land In
the South West Quadrant.
Preserving this space NOW, as a public park, and coastal park will preserve space for
future generations and our precious tourist and visitor industry. There are no Coastal
Parks in all South Carlsbad, so 64,000 residents are·without a coastal park. It's a 6 mile
stretch of coastline without a park .
I'm not in favor of future residential development at Ponto, and wish to preserve this
last small amount of vacant land for Coastal recreation.
Thank you for keeping Carlsbad green, for now, and our future generations.

Please read at the June 2nd City Council Meeting Agenda Item: Budget
Dear Mayor and City Council
My name in Mike Guerreiro and I have lived in Carlsbad for 15 years. I have two school age children and
I want to ensure Carlsbad remains a wonderful place to live and call home.
I am aware there is a current 6.6-acre park deficit in the Coastal Southwest quadrant of Carlsbad and a 30-
acre open-space deficit in Zone 9. I want the City of Carlsbad to budget money in their capital
improvement program to purchase Planning Area F and build a park at Ponto to serve residents
and visitors alike. Planning Area F is currently for sale and I request the City contact the landowner to
explore purchasing the site for a needed park.
This land is the entrance to Southern Carlsbad and one of the last remaining pieces of coastal open space,
it is a treasure and should be developed into a space for all to enjoy, not squandered on residential
development that would do best located closer to employment at the Center of Carlsbad.
I ask you to Develop Ponto Right-I ask you to build Ponto Park.
I request that my comments be put on record in the official public records for all things Planning Area F,
including the official public records for Carlsbad's City's Budget, draft Local foastal Program Amendment,
and Parks Master Plan Update; and the CA "coastal Commission's consideration of Carlsbad's draft Local
Coastal Program Amendment. ·
Thank you,
Mike Guerreiro and Family
