I 4B# 3&J TITLE:
G 1zl b
Approval and authorization to transmit Report
UITG. to the City Council, and adoption of Owner
Participation Rules for the South Carlsbad
IEPT. H/RED Coastal Redevelopment Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
CITY MGR.
ADOPT Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. 3w approving and
authorizing transmittal of the Report to the City Council and adopting Owner Participation
Rules for the South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Project.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
During the past 11 to 12 months, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission
(“Commission”) has been undertaking the necessary steps to prepare a Redevelopment Plan
for the proposed South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Project (“Plan”). Redevelopment of
the proposed Project Area would enable the Commission to:
l Facilitate interim improvements at the Encina Power Plant to reduce its environmental
and economic impacts on the community;
l Accommodate the economically viable redevelopment of the Encina Power Plant to a
physically smaller, more operationally efficient facility;
l Provide potential funding for the proposed realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard, yielding
excess property that could facilitate public recreational facilities and improvements; and
l Promote the redevelopment of underutilized properties in the Ponto area.
Prior to the joint Commission/City Council public hearing and consideration of the Plan and
adoption of its ordinance, the Commission will need to approve the following documents
pertaining to the Plan: the Report to the Cify Council and the Owner Participation Rules.
Report to City Council
Requirements for adopting and implementing redevelopment projects are established in the
California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 a. s.
(“Law”). The law requires the Commission to transmit a Report to the City Council (“Report”) on
the proposed Plan. The purpose of the Report is to provide in one document, all information,
documentation, and evidence regarding the Project. It assists the City Council in its legally
required findings and determinations for adopting the Plan.
The Report has been prepared in accordance with Section 33352 of the Law. It consists of the
following components:
l The reasons for selection of the Project Area, including a description of proposed
projects and programs, and how these projects and programs will improve or alleviate
blight;
I
I
Page 2 of AB# 3aI,
l A description of the physical and economic conditions in the Project Area;
l The five-year implementation plan;
l An explanation why blight cannot be alleviated by the private sector or without tax
increment financing;
l The method of financing;
l The method of relocation;
l An analysis of the Preliminary Plan;
l The report and recommendation of the Planning Commission;
l The Planning Commission’s finding that the Plan conforms to the City’s General Plan;
l The Environmental Impact Report;
l An analysis of the base year report of the County Auditor-Controller;
l The neighborhood impact report, and;
l A summary of consultations with affected taxing agencies.
As discussed in the Report, the proposed Plan is designed to enable the Commission to
proactively engage in the redevelopment of Project Area properties. Completion of various
community development, economic development, infrastructure, and housing programs under
the Plan will result in alleviating physical and economic blighting conditions within the Project
Area. The Report describes how tax increment financing, and other resources that may
become available, will be an essential part of the Commission’s redevelopment program. The
Report also contains the Planning Commission’s report, finding that the Plan conforms to the
City’s General Plan, and recommending City Council adoption of the Plan.
Owner Participation Rules
The Law also requires that the Commission have rules to guide owner participation
opportunities and extend reasonable preferences to persons engaged in business in the
Project Area to reenter within the Project Area. The Rules Governing Participation by Property
Owners and the Extension of Reasonable Preferences to Business Occupants (“Owner
Participation Rules”) provides guidelines for the participation of property owners, business
operators, and business tenants in the Project Area. In the event the Commission wishes to
rehabilitate, redevelop, or develop a property in the Project Area or a property owner, business
operator, or business tenant wishes to participate in the redevelopment process, the Owner
Participation Rules outline the procedures to be followed. This will ensure that both the rights
of the participant are preserved while the goals stated in the Plan are achieved.

On February 15, 2000, the Commission authorized for circulation and comment the draft
Owner Participation Rules. No comments were provided to the Commission; the proposed
Owner Participation Rules to be considered for adoption are unchanged from those accepted
and circulated by the Commission in February 2000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Commission approve the Report to Council and authorize its
transmittal to the City Council for review and consideration prior to action to adopt the
Plan. Staff also recommends that the Commission approve the Owner Participation
Rules as submitted for review. Approval of the attached Commission Resolution will
approve both the Report to Council and the Owner Participation Rules.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact at this time related to approval of the Report to Council and Owner
Participation Rules. If the related Redevelopment Plan is ultimately approved and adopted,
revenue will be generated that can be used to fund proposed redevelopment programs and
projects for the area and provide additional financial resources to assist with the continued
development of affordable housing programs throughout the City of Carlsbad.
EXHIBITS:
1. Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. 3 30 approving and
authorizing transmittal of the Report to the City Council and adopting Owner
Participation Rules for the South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Project.
2. Report to the City Council on the South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Project (on
file in the City Clerk’s Office)

Attn: City Clerk
Re. South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Project.
The proposed Project is scheduled to be heard at the City Council hearing on June 27th and as a property owner on Ponto Drive I have concerns about the Redevelopment Plan. In Section V (c) 1. Participation by owners , the Plan provides for participation in the redevelopment of property in the project area by owners as long as it is in conformity with the Plan. But, the Plan refers to a Master or Specific Plan which has to be prepared and adopted to permit uses and to facilitate the redevelopment of the properties.
The problem with the Plan is there is no time limit as to when the Master Plan for the Project or the Ponto Area will be completed and approved by'the Commission.
It is requested that the following condition be included in the Development Plan or the Implementation Plan for the Project: "The Master Plan or Specific Plan for the Ponto Area shall be completed and approved by the City 18 months after the adoption of the Redevelopment Agency"
This condition would enable properties owners in the Ponto Area to proceed with their redevelopment of their properties in a reasonable time frame and not have to wait several years for the City to approve the Master Plan that is required they can get approval of their redevelopment plans.

Dear Sir:
Q Mayor

%F:: &-$%I m??&yy d
I have recently learned that the City of Carlsbad has started a
Redevelopment District that would run along the coast from the San
Dieguito Lagoon to north of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The early plans
are to re-align the Coast Highway and tear down the existing power plant
building plus building a smaller building for you to put in smaller but more
efficient power generating equipment.
I am concerned about all of this for several of reasons. I LIKE the current
building and think it would be perfect for painting or tiling huge murals of
some sort --- possibly an ocean scene with whales, dolphins, and all sorts of
sea creatures. I used to be an aircraft pilot and it was always comforting to
see the power plant as an obvious landmark. There will be a growing need
for electricity in the titut-e so why couldn’t the current generating equipment
be replaced with more efficient new equipment that would produce more
power.
Another concern is the presence of the aqua-farm in the lagoon that grows
delicious muscles, abalone, and other edible sea creatures and depends on
the warm water coming from the power generating plant.
1 am interested in knowing what your plans may be regarding the above.
Sincerely yours,
+%?-ye.zti
Roger E. Fox. CC: Carlsbad City Council.
