Project Description
On Jan. 18, 2023, the Planning Commission took actions to elect a Chair and a Vice-Chair, each for one-year
terms. For the 2023 calendar year, Commissioner Merz was appointed to serve as Chair and Commissioner
Sabellico to serve as Vice Chair. It is now time to select a new Chair and Vice-Chair though nomination and
selection by a vote of a majority of the commission. City staff recommends that the term of the new chairs
begin on Feb. 7, 2024, to coincide with the next Regular Meeting.
Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Section 2.15.090 requires a board or commission to conduct their meetings
pursuant to the rules contained in CMC Chapter 1.20 and allows for the adoption of additional rules and
regulations. On March 2, 2022, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 7442 establishing the
procedures of the Planning Commission, including the adoption of a meeting day, location, and time for
commission meetings. At its Jan. 17, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission will review its planned meeting
dates to determine whether any changes should be made for the coming calendar year. It is recommended that
the commission continue meeting on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month. In addition to the regularly
scheduled meetings, the Commission may call for special meetings as needed throughout the year. All regular
meetings will be held at 5 p.m. at the Council Chamber at City Hall at 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive. All meeting
calendars for each board or commission is posted on the corresponding board or commission webpage.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no direct fiscal impact.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary
“projects.” A “project” under CEQA, is defined as “an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in
the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” (Public Resource
Code section 21065). The proposed action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA in
accordance with Public Resources Code section 21065 or CEQA Guidelines section 15378.
