Ms. Landers explained the program outlined in the Barrio Specific Plan and added that
comments from the Parks and Recreation Commission would be forwarded to the
Planning Commission. She mentioned the functions of the proposed Plaza and how it
would interface with the proposed community center and gymnasium.
Questions and discussion included the following:
• Concern that the Pine School site would not become available, and possible
alternatives
• Placement of the Plaza if the Pine School site did not become available
• The Barrio Specific Plan should make it clear that the community center is to
serve the entire Northwest Quadrant.
• Importance of integrating the Plaza with the entire package (community center
and gymnasium)
• Size of the site
• Alternatives to using a plaza to identify the Barrio area
• Concern that there were too many variables without answers
• Time limit for the school district to make a decision regarding the Pine School
site
Bob Ladwig, 2642 Ocean Street, Carlsbad, stated that the Barrio Specific Plan would
benefit the entire Northwest Quadrant. He referred to a fax distributed to the
Commissioners which described the Plaza and mentioned that it did not have to be a
large facility, but would be the focal point of the Barrio. He described the location of the
Plaza and referred to leftover funds from streetscaping Carlsbad Village Drive that
could be used for streetscaping Roosevelt. Mr. Ladwig described an alternative of using
columns vs. an arch.
Mr. Ladwig added that this was the first step in bringing quality development to the
Barrio.
