Mayor
CLAUDE "BUD" LEV\^IS Age: 55 *
Teacher - Varsity Coach
As your Councilman for the past sixteen years, I have responded to your concerns in the
devetopment of our city. Our need for more roads, schools, and parks has been evident.
I have repeatedly voted against any development v/hich would put additional strain on
these facilities.
As Vice Mayor, I pushed for a strict Growth Management Plat, where facilities and services
must be in place prior to development I believe the City's plan, which I co-authored, is
the best solution to the growth problems facing our city.
I have insisted upon and encouraged the council to approve a significant reduction in the
overall density ol our city. This will allow for an inweased allotment for open spaces.
Another achievement was my work on the recently revised traffic circulation plan. The
Growth Management Plan includes this and also states that adequc*e circulation mtjst be
in place prfor to devetopment
I will continue to work to prevent any expansion of Pal,, mar Airport. Myofhor priorities will
bo the construction of a Sentor Citizen's Center, a permanent library in South Carlsbad,
and city-wide park faciiities.
Support me as your Mayor. I have the experience and connfritment to orovide the
leadership whtoh Carlsbad needsl

As a tong time community activist and present officeholder on the Loucadia County Water
District, I feel I am well qualified to be on the Carlsbad City Council. I have woiked
diligentty In Carisbad to see that our tax dollars are spent wisely. I led the election which
defeated a satellite sewage treatment facility which would have been located near to
residential homes and cost millions in wasted tax money, i helped other citizens pressure
the City Courx;il into passing more open and honest campaign disctosure laws. I worked
to protect reside.nts from the danger and noise of trucks passing through our
neighborhood streets. I worked with Concerned Citizens to gather signatures for the
Citizens Stow Growth Initiative, and I wholeheartedly support that measure. The future of
Cartsbad will depend on elected officials with experience in tocal government and who can
plan intelligently for thei future. As your elected Council member, you will have a leader
who will respond to citizens' concerns and who will help Carisbad grow sensitively,
gracefully and sensibly into a community in whtoh we will alt be proud to live.

Proposition E
(This proposition will appear on the ballot In the following forni.)
E Shall an ordinance t>e adopted to provide as a part of the 1986
growth management plan that 1) NO DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE
APPROVED by the City of Carisbad unless it is guaranteed that
concurrent with need all necessary public facilities be provided as
required by said plan with emphasis on ensuring good ti'affic circulation,
schools, parks, libraries, cpen space and recreational amenities; and 2)
the City Council shall not approve residential devetopment whtoh would
increase the number of dwelling units beyond the limit in said cdinance
WITHOUT AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE CITIZENS. The C.ly may
add additional publto facilities. The City shall not reduce publto facilities
v\rithout a con^esponding reduction In the residential dwelling unit limit
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
The Peopto of the City of Carisbad do ordain as follows:
A. That Ihe Carisbad general plan shall be amended by the amendment of the
Public Facilities and Land Use Elements to add the following:
'The City of Carisbad In implementing its public facilities element and growth
management plan has made an estimate of the number of dwelling units that vtrill be built
as a result of the application of the density ranges in the Land Use Element to individual
projects. The City's Capital Improvement Budget, growth management plan, and public
facilities plans are all based on this estimate. In order to ensure that all necessary public
facilities will be available concunrent with need to serve new devetopnwnt it is necessary to
limit the number of residential dwelling units which can be constructed In the City to that
estimate. For that purpose the City has been divided into four quadrants along El Camino
Real and Patomar Airport Road. The maximum number of residential dwelling units to be
constructed or approved in the City after November 4, 1986 is as foltov«: Northwest
Quadrant 5,844; Northeast Quadrant 6,166; Southwest Quadrant 10,667; Southeast
Quadrant 10,801.
The City shall not approve any General Plan amendment, zone change, tentative
subdiviston map or other discretionary approval for a devetopment which could result in
devetopment above the limit In any quadrant. In order to ensure that devetopment does
not exceed the limit the following growth management conti^ol points are established *or
the Land Use Element density ranges.
ALLOWED DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE
General Plan Growth Management
Density Ranges Control Point
RL 0 - 1.5 1.0
RLM 0 - 4.0 3.2
RM 4 - 8.0 6.0
RMH 8 - 15.0 11.5
RH 15 - 23.0 19.0
(Continued on next page)
Pn-001.1 415-38
! The C':ty shall not approve any residential development at a density that exceeds the
growth management control point for the applicable density, range without making the
j following findings:
] 1. That the project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in
' excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City's public facilities plana
! will not be adversely Impacted.
2. That there have been sufficient developments approved in the quadrant at
' densities betow the conti'ol point to cover the units in the project above the conti^ol point
.! so the approval will not result in exceeding the quadrant limit.
The City Manager shall monitor all approvals and report to the Planning Commission
and City Council on an annual basis to ensure that the construction of residential units
. j • within each quadrant, on a cumulative basis, will be at or below the grovrth management
control points and that the overall quadrant limits are being maintained. If the annual
j report indtoates in any way that it is likely that the limit may be exceeded, the Council shall
take appropriate action by revising the growth management plan and the City's zoning
', code to ensure that the ceilings will be maintained. r •
;« The City Council or the Planning Commission shall not find that all necessary public
facilities will l5e available concurrent with need as required by the Public Facilities Element
') and the City's 1986 grovt^h management plan unless the proviston ol such facilities is
; guaranteed. In guaranteeing that the facilities will be provided emphasis shall be given to
: i ensuring good ti'affic circulation, schools, pari<s, libraries, open space and reaeattonal
. amenities. Public facilities may be added. The City Council shall not materially reduce
> publto facilities without making con'esponding reductions in residential densities.
I
Nothing In this section shall be construed as changing the requirenrwnt that any
specific residential density above the minimum allowed by Ihe Land Use Element density
ranges and the appltoable zoning shall be justified according to the requirements of the
appropriate General Plan and zoning provisions.
(Continued on next page)
Pn-001.2 415-38
B. The zoning map of the City of Carisbad shall be amended to provide that building
permits Issued or approved lor residential dwelling units in the City after November 4, 1986
shall not exceed the limits established in the map in this section. The numbers on the map
shall not be increased without an affirmative vote of the people.
C. The City Council shall adopt anr>endments to Chapter 21.go of
Muntoipal Code (Growth Management) as necessary to imptonwnt the
amendment of Section A and the Map of Section B.
0. This ordinance is Inconsistent with and Intended as an alternative to any initiative
ordinance whtoh would place an annual numerical limitation on the rate of residential
constiuction. If this ordinance and any such Initiative ordinance are both passe'.: by a
majority voting thereon then the one with the mosX votes shall prevail."

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION E
\ VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION E
; Most peopto agree that the pace of growth In Carisbad has been so fast that a
moratorium on building was needed. The moratorium gave Carisbad time to find an
intelligent way to plan future growth. The result is Proposition E, which puts strict oiles on
• the books—rules that can't change unless you, the voter, change them.
Propositton E puts a permanent cap on the total number of residential units that can
; be built in Cartsbad; reduces the overall density of the city and guarantees that we will
\ always be a low density residential community with 40% open space. NO DEVELOPMENT
; SHALL BE APPROVED unless all required public facilities are provided up front.
I Proposition E guarantees that the cost of needed public facilities will be paid by land
developers and future homeowners—not by current Carisbad taxpayers. Proposition E
gives us conti'olled growth without increased taxes and without destroying our property
I values or beautiful comffiunity.
i- Proposition E was put on the ballot by the City Council and is endorsed by the
Carlsbad Unified School Distiict.
Now is the time to put sti^ict limits on development and a cap on our future growth.
Vote to preserve Carisbad. ^QTE YES ON PROPOSITION E
MARY H. CASLER RICHARD J. CHICK
ANN J. KULCHIN . " CLAUDE A. LEWIS
I HOWARD C. HARMON
i REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION E
The City concedes the pace of growth was so fast a moratorium was needed and yet, it
concocted a scheme that does nothing to slow down the pace of growth.
, i Proposition E together with the growth management ordinance that is not on the ballot will,
I'i if faithfully implemented, provide public facilities. But that's not the problem. The problem
} I is too much growth, too fast And Proposition E does nothing to cure the cancer of
ix ever-irK:reasing growth. That cancer will eventually kill the quality of life nrwst of us came
- j to find.
j Proposition E puts a cap on the number ot residential units, but that cap Is neither
• -t permanent nor does it stow down the rate of growth.
f As stated In the ballot question Proposition E is an amendment lo the 1986 growth
j management ordinance, whtoh is not on the ballot That ordinance contains a
j self-destruct date of June 30, 2001, fifteen years from now. That proviston kills the claim
of pennanence.
And how does Proposition E and the associated ordinance slow the pace of grovrth, which
the city agrees is out of conti^ol? The city and the developers would like you to believe that
by tying growrfi to the 'oviston of publto facilities, growth will slow down. But, will it,
really? What h ihe city and developers build the facilities faster than needed? Obviously,
growth will be sp ^eded up instead of slowed.
If you want EXPLOSIVE GROWTH vote for E.
If you want GRADUAL GROWTH vote for G.

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION E
There are VMO ballot propositions on growth on the ballot. One is the CITIZENS' SLOW
GROWTH INITIATIVE, PROPOSITION G. The other is City Hall's PROPOSITION E.
if you want the growth rate slowed down, PROPOSITION G will do it. It limits grovrth to
1000 new dwelling units In 1987 — 750 In 1988 and 500 a year for the next 8 years. That's
a drastic much-needed cut from the growth binge of 2500 to 3000 dwelling units ir recent
years. So, if you want SLOW GROWTH, vote YES on PROPOSITION G. Only the voters
can change it — City Hall can't
You want facilities up front? That's already provided by City Hall's growth managoment
plan — it became law Aug. 1,1906 and IS NOT ON THE BALLOT.
What does City Hall's PROPOSITION E give you? Actually, it's a trick to contuse
thousands of voters who want SLOW GROWTH. It fixes a "cap" of 34,600 more dwelling
units. It does not SLOW GROWTH. It permits .^AST GROWTH* PROPOSITION E also
contains a killer clau.<>e lo kill the Citizens' Slow Growth Initiative.
Be aware that City Hall has shanriefully approved a propaganda campaign using tax
dollars to manipulate voters.
Thus, if you want SLOW GROWTH and FACILITIES UP FRONT, you get both by voting
YES on PROPOSITION G and NO on PROPOSITION E.
If you doni vote this way, then in ten years you'll get up to 82,700 more people in
Carisbad — an average minimum of 138,400 additional car trips per day. We'll need 9
more etementary schools.
Developers and City Hall wont save Carisbad from becoming L. A. South — the voters will

I REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION E
Fact: PROPOSITION E places a limit on the number of homes that can EVER be built
in Carlsbad. This limit can ONLY t>e changed by a VOTE of the people. There is
j no such limit under Proposition Q.
Fact: PROPOSITION E IS A PLAN FOR THE ORDERLY LONG-TERM
DEVELOPMENT OF CARLSBAD. PROPOSITION E provides that NO
( DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE APPROVED without all public facilities being
required up front. This means the roads, schools, parks, libraries and open space
have already been planned, and a method for their financing and time table lor
their installation has been approved t^etore any construction starts.
Fact Density has been towered throughout the City while open space has been greatly
increased.
Fact PROPOSITJON E is a l>lueprint for the orderty development of Carisbad over the
next 20 years so you will know exactiy where, when and how development is
going to occur. Proposition G does not give you any such answers.
. Fact PROPOSITION G IS NO PLAN AT ALL
The opponents of PROPOSITION E contend that if you vote tor PROPOSITION E
you will be authorizing an increase of over 82,000 new people to Cartsbad within the next
10 years. RIDiCULOUSI The City has only grown to 52,000 in its 100 years of existence.
PROPOSITION E is supported by a large number of responsible electors who have
stijdied the issues. It is a thoughtful, far-reaching masterplan lor the future of Carisbad
over the next two decades.

Proposition F
(This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.)
F Bond Propositton: Shall the City of Carisbad, Calitornia, Incur a
bonded indebtedness In the principal amount of $5,950,000 for
the purpose of the acquisition by said City of a certain muni-
cipal improvement, to wit approximately 52.68 acres of undeveloped
land known as Hosp Grove to be acquired for pari( and open space
purposes, and for the payment of all costs and expenses In connection
with such acquisition and the issuance of the bonds?
PH-001.7 415-44
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION F
Ttie Hosp Grove bond issue offers voters an historic opportunity to preserve this
I. ti'easured Carisbad landmark. For over two decades, concerned citizens have been trying
I to protect from further development' a rustic stand of woods and wildlife dear to
generations of Carisbad residents.
I Hosp Grove's value to the community goes far beyond its scenic function as
i northern gateway to the city and majestic backdrop to the urban mall and Buena Vista
Lagoon. The forest harbors a rich population of small animals and tree-nesting birds. It is
! a nature area in the heart of the city—a buffer between commercial and residential areas,
i between the lagoon and the inevitable pollutants of urban development And it is a living
i ' symbol of the endangered Carisbad we all cherish.
j The bond issue is our last chance to preserve intact the grove's remaining unspoiled
^ acres. Under terms of the development-purchase agreement approved by the city
I council, tf>e grove's owners will be allowed to develop the slopes adjacent to Monroe and
i Marron sti'eets (across from Plaza Camino Real) should the bond issue fall to pass by a
i 2/3 majority. The agreement also commits the city (If the bonds fail) to pursue a nearly
\ million-dollar purchase of a lesser parcel, nrost of which is already protected as
designated open space or dedtoated pari< land.
This agreement has limited the public's options on Hosp Grove. Foreclosing the
possibility of alternate solutions, it requires voters to choose now between approving
I • bonds for outright purchase of the forest or accepting the extensive commercial and
I residential development permitted by the agreement.
Given these ctratoes, it is clear that only a YES vote on the bonds will accomplish
the tong desired goal. Propositton F is the last chance to save our beloved Hosp Grove
for our own and future generations.

REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION F
NONSENSE! The real issue is whether the City should spend $5,950,000 to buy Hosp
Grove when the City presently has the right to buy the majority of the Grove for $975,000.
THERE IS MO COMMUNITY-WIDE BENEFIT to spending nearty 5 millton additional
dollars, since the nxjst visible and environmentally sensitive parts of the Grove will tie
preserved under the temns of the development-purchase agreement.
VOTE NO in order to retain Carisbad's financial ability to buy other open space and park

Pn-001.8 415-45
ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION F
Vote NO on the Ballot Proposition!
The proposal to acquire 52.68 acres of Hosp Grove for $5,950,000 would be a waste of
taxpayers' money, and would raise the property taxes of every property owner In
Carlsbad. The majority of Hosp Grove Is too steep to be usable, and its acquisition would
benefit only a small number ot nearby residents.
What Carisbad needs Is more usable park land that can be usod for Uttie League, soccer,
Softball, and other recreational activities. Six million dollars could buy a large amount of
flatter, more appropriate park land for use by all Carlsbad residents.
There is an alternative to spending $5.950.0001 The City Council has already approved a
proposal that could be implemented if this ballot measure fails. Under this proposal, the
City would acquire more than half of Hosp Grove for 1/6 the cost of acquiring the 52.68
acres. This proposal Irwiudes the City acquisition of 9 acres of Hosp Grove land on
Jefferson Street, across from the popular duck-feeding area of Buena Vista Lagoon, for
$975,000. In addition, the City would receive approximately 18.8 acres of dedicated open
space In Hosp Grove free, should a specialty comnnercial center at the corner of Monroe
and Marro.n Sti'eets, and a residential development off Hosp Way be approved.
Instead of paying increased taxes to acquire mostiy unusable land which benefits only a
few people, the alternative proposal allows the City of Carlsbad to acquire the most usable
and visible areas of Hosp Grove for 1/6 of the price, at no cost lo taxpayers.
Vote NO on the Ballot Proposition!
RUTH L COYLE
REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION F
The value of Hosp Grove cannot be measured by the same use-factor criteria as
active sports parks—such as Stagecoach Park and Calaveras Hills Park, lx)th of which will
feature ample playing fields when completed. Like other nature parks, such as Yosemite
and Sequoia hlational Forest the value of Hosp Grove lies In the visual grandeur of its
wooded slopes—enjoyed by everyone who passes—and in its presence as a nature area
in the heart of the city.
Unless Proposition F passes, the entire hillside east of the Monroe and Manon
Intersection (poross from the mall) will be bulldozed flat for a shopping center; and the
slopes west of the Intersection will be selectively graded for office buildings. Proposition F
allows us to retain the present vrooded hillsides at that corner, rather than add more
commercial development with more commercial traffic.
In stilct financial ternts, the alternative proposal is a bad bargain for taxpayers,
because we would be paying a disproportionate price for development rights, without
commensurate benefits.
Moreover, ttie "No" argunrtent does not make clear that the slopes across from the
duck-landing area (whtoh is protected by the Department ol Fish and Game) are Included
in the Proposition F bond issue.
We have one last chance lo save this historic Cartsbad landmark: Vote Yes on F.

! ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION G
1
: For years, plans of developers have been placed above desires of Carlsbad citizens. As a
j result, the growth rate Is raging out of control. The majority of the City Council refuses to
I - take effective action against this rampant rate ol grovrth.
j
j PROPOSITION G is a Citizens' Initiative, designed by Citizens, to respond to Citizens'
desire to slow growth in Carlsbad. PROPOSITION G was circulated by your neighbors
I and was placed on the ballot by the signatures of 5,100 Citizens,
I The aim of PROPOSITION G is to curb growth the next ton years. It allows about 1000
j dwe'ling units to be built in 1987, 750 in 1988, and 500 units per year thereafter for 8 years,
I when It w^ll be submitted to the Citizens for a vote. It will reduce the number of people
I jamn^ng our streets, beaches, parks, schools, playing fields and other public and private
facilities. This will allow City planners to absorb the extraordinary grovrth of recent years.
PROPOSITION G Is a reasonable slow growth plan similar to those approved in San
Clemente and many other California communities.
PROPOSITION G tells the City Council what Citizens want in clear temns. It allows a
limited number of new dwellings every year. Developers mus. compete for the right to
build, insuring better quality projects.
PROPOSrriON G would altow only 13,800 more people In Carisbad in the next (on yoars.
City Hall and developer plans would allow up to 82,700 people in the next ten years.
PROPOSITION G focuses on the issue direcfly affecting the quality of life of the Citizens;
too many people, packed Into too little space, too fasti
PROPOSITION G is our last chance to choose bet.veen a qua;.iy of lile like that of L A. or
what we enjoy in Carlsbad.

The proporients of Proposition G would have you believe tiiat lis passage will solve
all of Carlsbad's problems. THIS IS FALSE. Proposition Q does NOT provide for the
construction of roads, schools, parks, libraries and open space. Where will the City get
the needed funds? PROPOSITION G IS NO PLAN AT ALL '
PROPOSITION G WILL PROMOTE UNLIMITED LOW INCOME AND SUBSIDIZED \
HOUSING. It also allov« only a limited number of housing units each year of the type j
which mc3f Carisbad residents prefer. Do you really want Carisbad to develop this way? |
Proposition G is BAD for Carisbad and its economy. Where will your children live? |
If Proposition G passes. It probably will not be In Carisbad. Proposition G will NOT »
encourage the development of a quality community vnth housing opportunities for all. |.
Propositton G will encourage low income housing which will dramatically affect the "quality }
ol lite" in Carisbad. j
Proposition G requires the City to defend all lenal challenges to its conslittitionality. I
The cost of such lawsuits could be ti-emendous. This will mean less monies available for !
other projects. Defeat of Proposition G will protect the City from years of litigation and j
save your dollars. 1
Proposition G will NOT produce a balanced community of homos. Industry, j
commercial and open space areas which we all want. PROPOSITION G IS A POORLY
CONCEIVED INITIATIVE WHICH WILL ONLY HARM AND DIVIDE OUR CITY RATHER
THAN SOLVE ITS PROBLEMS.

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION G
VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION G
Proposition G sounds tough but it really Isn't. Supporters of Proposition G want you
to bslieve that this one page document provides a blueprint tor Carlsbad's dovelopmont
for the next ten years, but it does not.
Proposition G will produce pressure for zone changes and general plan
amendments and result in an unbalanced community. Proposition G leaves Carlsbad
open to industrial, commercial and low income housing development, creating unlimited
traffic and no way to pay for schools.
Arbiti'ary numerical limitations on growth will not work. Thoy make it impossible for
the City to raise the money for necessary public facilities. If passed. The City will bo sued
by the building Industiy and developers. The cost of defense will be substantial and will
have to be paid from taxpayers' funds. Recent rulings of the Supreme Court have said
'• that numerical growth limitations must bo jusfifi'id by objective facts. No such justification
i has l>een presented in this measure.
\ None of us wants the kind of grovrth and development that Propositon G permits.
I Proposition G is pooriy written and full of loopholes; it's a legal nightinaro and a lawyer's
f dream.

REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION G
. VOTE YES ON G
Sounds tough? If G isn't as tougi. as it sounds, why are all the developers and the city
council majority fighting it so much? It's tough, all right, and they know it.
Proposition G makes no pretenses about being anything except a resti-iction on the
construction of dwelling units in the next ten years.
In itself, G creates no imbalance in development. Only if the city council illegally disturbs
that balance by allowing zone changes or too many low income housing developmenls
would there be an unbalanced community.
Providing the necessary public facilities is not the problem. L.A. has adoquate public
facilities. Do you want to live there? The problem is too many people, too fast
There are adequate funds available to provide the necessary public facilities for the new
dwellings Proposition G allows. However, there will never be enough public facilities lo
maintain our existing quality of life under the city/developer plan. Proposition E.
The City Is beselged with growth problems. Therefore, there is a substantial legal
justification for Proposition G. In fact, the City Council has already made the necessary
legal findings to support justification by enacting the so-called growth management plan.
The council majority is trying to deceive us when they claim there is no justification, since
they have already found it to/be true.
Initiatives like Proposition G have already been subjected lo legal challenge and been
upheld.
Vole YES on G, Gradual Growth, and NO on E, Explosive Growth.

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION H
VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION H |
I
Development of Macarto Canyon is premature and would bo an unwise investment
of city funds at this time. There are many obstacles to improving the canyon; there are no ',
roads or utilities into the area; there are sig.iificanl environmenlai concerns v;hich must be •
resolved before development can occur. The total cost of building Ihe proposed roads, ;
utilities, ballfields and gymnasium Is estimated to be l^etwoen $5.6 million and $7.1 million,
not the $3.5 million indicated in the petition. Even if the project could t>e approved as
proposed, it would take more than two years to complete. •
This 300 acre canyon was acquired by the City in 1981 lor future development. A .'
master plan study done in 1982 suggested a 15 year development program. In 1984, the ;
City toased the land to a farmer as a way of saving money until development is timely. ;
The City does not need Macario Canyon Park at this time. The City has a program j
to spend available funds to build park and recreation facilities in areas close to existing .
housing such as Calavera Hills and La Costa. If Macario Canyon is devetopecl ahead of j
schedule, it means that other needed projects will be delayed for years or a bond issue i
will be needed. If we wait and follow the City park plan, then developers fees and private <
funding sources will be used. >
