COMMITTEE CHARTER
The committee is expected to focus on input, review, and
"buy-in" to carry out the committee's mission, rather
than deliberating on precise details. The committee's
work will conclude with a committee-supported report
recommending to the City Council what should be
included (key elements) in a new plan to manage growth
and achieve an excellent quality of life while ensuring
compliance with state law. The City Council will consider
the committee's recommendations and direct the next
steps to create a new growth management plan.

CURRENT OPEN SPACE STANDARD
Fifteen percent of the total land area in the Local
Facility Management Zone (LFMZ) exclusive of
environmentally constrained non-developable land
must be set aside for permanent open space and
must be available concurrent with development.
BACKGROUND
•Open space standard applied in zones 11-15
& 17-25 (1986 -undeveloped, no proposed
development)
•Open space standard not applied in:
•Zones 1-6 (1986 developed “urbanized”
areas)
•Zones 7-10 (“urbanizing” areas in 1986
with approved or pending master plans)
•Zone 16 (non-residential area)

CHALLENGES
Acquiring open space in developed areas was a
challenge in 1986 and remains a challenge.
•Securing vacant available land at market
rate from willing sellers has been difficult
•State housing laws limit changes to density
or adding new development restrictions
•Future development will be building out
existing master plans or in-fill development
CARLSBAD OPEN SPACE OVERALL
•Growth Management open space is small part of all open space
•General Plan outlines four categories of open space required throughout city by various policies and regulations
•Habitat Management Plan requires preservation of natural habitat. 78% of all open space is protection of natural resources
•Zoning requires open space for all master plans, and lot coverage, setbacks and yards, and per unit open space apply citywide

CARLSBAD GROWTH
MANAGEMENT OPEN SPACE
•Requirements apply sector-wide (LFMZs);
exclude constrained lands and can include
recreation and landscape amenities in
private development.
•No direct comparable examples found of
cities requiring open space as a percentage
of land area per sector.
•Carlsbad’s standard is most comparable to
other cities’ zoning and site planning
requirements.
TYPICAL CITY ZONING REGULATIONS
Requirements to create open spaces within and
between developed sites:
•Lot coverage
•Setbacks and yards
•Landscaping
Requirements to provide amenities for future
residents:
•Private open space (patios/balconies)
•Usable common open space (recreation areas)

REQUIREMENTS
•Preserve environmentally sensitive lands
•Provide recreational facilities, storm water

•May use specialized tools such as transfer of
development rights, conservation easements,
or preferential tax treatments to preserve open
space or agricultural lands.
CITY OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS
FOR PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS AND MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES
Carlsbad •15% of total area of master plan in any Planned Community Zone
Chula Vista
•Varies per master plan / specific plan.
•Otay Ranch example: At full build-out, 60% will be set aside as open space including
parks, greenbelt and preserve lands.
San Diego
County
•Project-based developer exactions; supports mitigation banking, conservation
subdivisions and easements, agricultural lands preservation incentives; supports diverse
funding sources for acquisition.
San Marcos
•40% of total area of planned development project. Half of this land must be substantially
improved, and half may be improved or left in its natural state.
•Floodway and drainage easement areas, as well as recreation buildings/structure can
count towards this area requirement.
Irvine
•Open space area requirements vary by “implementation districts.”
•Each implementation district has a corresponding Open Space Management and
Conservation Plan.
Mission
Viejo
•A majority of open space areas are privately-owned parkland and HOA sites, including
Lake Mission Viejo, Mission Viejo Country Club Golf Course and Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club.
OPEN SPACE SYSTEMS
•Acquisition is usually opportunity based,
depending on intrinsic value and availability of
land.
•Many goals for open space planning include:
habitat, watersheds, agriculture, cultural
resources, and landforms. Part of sustainable
communities/growth management planning.
•California’s goal is to conserve 30% of state’s
land and coastal waters by 2030. Carlsbad has
met this goal.
CITY OPEN SPACE ACREAGE AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL CITY LAND AREA

Irvine 42.8%
36.4%
•With Great Park, 42.8%; without Great Park 36.4%
•This includes agriculture open space, preservation open space, recreation open space, and water bodies

SUMMARY OF OPEN SPACE
ACQUISITION TOOLS
•Development project exactions
•California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
•Zoning requirements
•Public funding
•Open space that is parkland may use general

•Land trusts, non-profits and philanthropists

KEY FINDINGS
•Most open space results from habitat
conservation.
•Most project-based open space achieved
through zoning –private open space,
setbacks, lot coverage, which apply citywide.
•Carlsbad exceeds the State of California’s
30% goal for open space.
KEY FINDINGS
•Growth management open space standard was
based on the development conditions in 1986.
•Open space is provided in all Local Facility
Management Zones.
•Increased challenge of acquiring open space
since most of the city is now urbanized.
•City continues to allocate funds for acquisition of
open space; opportunities are limited.
OPEN SPACE STANDARD OPTIONS
OPTION A
No Change
OPTION B
Reflect open space currently required in all zones
Fifteen percent of the total land area in
the Local Facility Management Zone
(LFMZ) exclusive of environmentally
constrained non-developable land must
be set aside for permanent open space
and must be available concurrent with
development.
[Applies to Local Facilities Management
Zones 11-15 and 17-25]
In all Local Facility Management Zones, open space
shall be provided consistent with city policies and
regulations, including for protection of natural
resources, provision of outdoor recreation,
production of resources, and for aesthetic, cultural
and educational purposes.
In Local Facilities Management Zones 11 -15 and 17 -
25, 15% of the total land area in the zone exclusive of
environmentally constrained non-developable land
must be set aside for permanent open space and
must be available concurrent with development.
OPEN SPACE STANDARD OPTIONS
OPTION C –Evaluate Open Space Linkage Fee
Retain existing standard and request that City Council
direct staff to evaluate the feasibility of creating and
implementing an open space linkage fee for zones exempt
from the open space standard.
Note: the challenge remains –funds to acquire open space
may be available but difficult to find available land to
spend it on.

Update
Proposition H
Proposition H, as implemented by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section
1.24.030, has not been updated since it was passed by voters in the 1980s
and it may be time to consider increasing the expenditure limit due to
increased project costs.
Recommend the City Council make an additional financial carve out for
future Fire Station #7 construction from the requirement of Proposition H.
Quality of Life Topic Draft Language
Transportation and
Mobility
Recommend the city utilize the Sustainable Mobility Plan and
Multimodal Transportation Impact Fee to implement future multimodal
transportation projects that provide the greatest benefit to the
community;
•Review of current facilities,
•Relationship between existing traffic operations, changing commute
patterns, regional traffic volume growth, traffic safety and new
disruptive trends in mobility technologies, and
•Development of standards and a fee structure for private
development to provide a fair share to partially fund the buildout of
the city’s multimodal transportation network.
Require new development to conduct intersection Level of Service and
Multimodal Level-of-Service analysis to determine direct project
impacts in accordance with the city’s Local Mobility Analysis Guidelines
