Several tasks in the previous work plans are either in process, recurring, or ongoing. The commissions have therefore carried forward those tasks as part of the proposed Fiscal Year 2023-2024 work plans. The purpose of a board or commission work plan is to encourage increased dialogue between boards and commissions and the City Council. They are also intended to ensure that boards and commissions are working in line with the priorities of the City Council. June 6, 2023 Item #14 Page 1 of 12 Explanation & Analysis Planning Commission The Planning Commission reviews development projects and makes recommendations to the City Council on city planning issues and policies. The City Council approved the commission’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 Work Plan on May 17, 2022. The commission’s report of accomplishments outlines the status of the work plan’s goals and tasks (Exhibit 1, Attachment A). At the Planning Commission’s April 19, 2023, meeting, staff assisted commission members with the preparation of an updated work plan that is consistent with the duties described in the Carlsbad Municipal Code chapter that governs the commission, Chapter 2.24. The Planning Commission voted unanimously on April 19, 2023, to accept the updated work plan and recommended that the City Council approve the plan (Exhibit 1, Attachment B). Historic Preservation Commission The Historic Preservation Commission advises the City Council and Planning Commission on the identification, protection, retention and preservation of historic areas and sites within the city. The City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Historic Preservation Commission Work Plan on April 13, 2021 (No work plan was prepared for Fiscal Year 2022-23). The list of accomplishments from the prior year and the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Work Plan are both included as Attachment A to Exhibit 2. At the Historic Preservation Commission’s March 13, 2023, meeting, staff assisted commission members with the preparation of an updated work plan that is consistent with the duties described in the Carlsbad Municipal Code chapter that governs the commission, Chapter 2.42. The Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously on March 13, 2023, to accept the updated work plan and recommended that the City Council approve the plan (Exhibit 2, Attachment A). Fiscal Analysis There is no direct fiscal impact associated with accepting, approving, or implementing the work plans. Next Steps The Planning Commission, the Historic Preservation Commission and staff will focus future efforts on the activities listed in the approved work plans. Environmental Evaluation This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
