currenr Element include development and population growth, contemporary parks and
recreation concepts, revised priorities €or future park acquisition, budgetary considerations.
and the implementation of the City’s Growth Management Program.
In April 1985. the Parks and Recreation Department began the process of updating the
Parks and Recreation Element. A subcommittee, consisting of three Parks and Recreation
Commissioners and two staff members was formed to prepare a revised Element. The
subcommittee met regularly €or over a year. The Parks and Recreation Commission also
held numerous meetings where the Element update was an agenda item. All subcommittee
meetings and Parks and Recreation Commission meetings were open €or public comment
The primary purpose of the Parks and Recreation Element is to plan, develop, and providc
quality park facilities and recreational programs to<ensure that the residents of Carlsbad arc
afforded the opportunity to enjoy optimum leisure experiences. The goals, objectives, am
policy and action programs of the Element deal with park development, recreatior
programs, and special resource and open space/Historical-Cultural uses. The Element alsc
addresses park standards and identifies anticipated park development projects.

COULD THE ACTIVITY AFFECT THE USE OF A RECREATIONAL m OR AREA 2) OF AESTHETIC VALUE?
’The Parks and Recreation Element is a policy document which establishes
recreational opportunities consistent with existing General Plan policies. The
Elemenr: does establish policies and objectives for the siting, acquisition and design
of park facdities and recreational programs.
The Pre-1982 Parks and Recreation Element emphasized more passive use concepts
with the acquisition of smaLller neighborhood, mini, and vest pocket parks. Presenr
park development philosophy concentrates on providing larger community parks
which incorporate a multitude of both active and passive recreational amenities.
As the philosophy of parks has changed, future planned parks will conform to the
new policies, and thus planned recreational areas will be effecteld by these new
goals, objectives, and policies. The changes however, are recomniended in order
to improve park and recreation services to the City residents. As such, these
changes should not constirute a signdicant impact to the use of rec:rearional areas.
IS THE, ACTMlY CARRIED OUT AS PART OF A LARGER PROJECT OR SERIES
OF PROJECTS?
The City is currently embarking on a major update of its General Plan. This
update will include work on all of the General Plan EIements, including the Parks
and Recreation Element. As the City proceeds with the update process, it may be necessary to further revise the Parks and Recreation Element, to ensure a
thoroughly revised and integrated General Plan. It is anticipated that as part of
the overall General Plan update process, a more thorough environmental review
will be completed.

. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
The Parks and Recreation Element is primdy a policy document intended to plan, develop, and
quality park facilities and recreational programs for the residents of Carlsbad. The goals, objectiv
policy and action programs of the Element deal with park development, recreation programs, and
Resources and Open SpacelHktoncal-Culturd uses. The Element also addresses park standards and ic
anticipated park development projects. No specific parkland development is proposed as part of the P~
Recreation Element.
HL'MAN ENVIRONMENT
32. AFFECT THE QUALI'IY OR QUANTITY OF EXISTING RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES?
The Parks and Recreation Element is a policy document which establishes recreational oppc
consistent with existing General Plan Policies and objectives for the siting, acquisition and (
park facilities and recreation programs.
The pre-1982 Parks and Recreation Element emphasized more passive use concepts with the a(
of smaller neighborhood, mini, and vest pocket parks. Present park development pl
concentrates on providing larger community parks which incorporate a multitude of both a
passive recreational amenities.
As the philosophy of parks has changes, future planned parks will conform to the new policies.
planned recreational areas will be effected by these new goals, objectives and policies. Thes
are recommended to improve park and recreation services to City residents. As such, thes
should not constitute a sigrzlficant impact to the use of recreational areas.

, DETERMiNATION (To Be Completed By The Plamhg Department)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
- X I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NE
DECLARATION d be prepared.
- I find that although the proposed project could have a sigruficant effect on the environment, I not be a sigmficant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attac
sheet have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative
Declaration will be proposed.
- I find the proposed project MAY have a sigmficant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRON IMPACT REPORT is required.
