Discussion At the regularly scheduled meeting on Aug. 3, 2021 the Beach Preservation Commission requested information on Item 14 of the City Council meeting on July 13, discussing the viable strategies regarding Planning Area F and other coastal properties to preserve open space and recreation, including a potential linear park along the coastal bluffs at Carlsbad Boulevard. At the special meeting of Nov. 9, 2021, the Beach Preservation Commissioners voted to view the video recording of the above referenced City Council agenda item on their own time, and provide comments, if any, at the commission’s next scheduled meeting. The comments, if any, should be specific to the Mission of the Beach Preservation Commission, which is: To advise the City Council and the City Manager on matters related to erosion prevention and protection/enhancement of the Carlsbad shoreline (e.g., littoral cells, sea level rise et.al.), and to study the best means to maintain beaches for the safety and optimum enjoyment of the public. Exhibits 1. City Council Staff Report, dated July 13, 2021 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 1 of 55 CA Review __RK__ Meeting Date July 13, 2021 To: Mayor and City Council From: Scott Chadwick, City Manager Staff Contact: Jeff Murphy, Community Development Director jeff.murphy@carlsbadca.gov, 760-602-2783 Subject:Options to Preserve Open Space and Recreation in the Southwest Quadrant Districts: 2, 3 and 4 Recommended Action Receive a report in response to the City Council’s Jan. 26, 2021 direction for staff to present a report within six months with viable strategies regarding Planning Area F and other coastal properties to preserve open space and recreation and provide direction to staff as appropriate. Executive Summary The City Council approved a minute motion on July 14, 2020, directing staff to provide a report to the City Council that included the planning, master plan, public vote requirements and any other important information regarding the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan’s Planning Area F, known as the Ponto property. Staff returned to the City Council with the requested information on Jan. 26, 2021 (Exhibit 1). Following public comment and deliberation, the City Council passed a minute motion directing staff to bring back an item with viable strategies regarding Planning Area F and other coastal properties to preserve open space and recreation (Exhibit 2). In response to the City Council’s direction, this staff report provides information covering the topics listed below, which may be used for the City Council’s discussion, consideration and direction to staff. xWhat document sets the city’s overall open space and parks performance standards? xWhat are the specific open space requirements in the Southwest Quadrant? xWhat are the specific park requirements in the Southwest Quadrant? xHow is the city meeting those requirements? xAre there vacant sites along the coast for possible open space or park use? xWhat are the opportunities to preserve those sites as open space or converting to park use? xWill the Carlsbad Boulevard realignment project result in excess land that could be used for a park? xWhat is the best path forward to develop a public park in the coastal area of the Southwest Quadrant? This report shows how the city has met its official standards for park space in the area, that there are limited vacant sites along the coast available for open space or park use, and that acquiring July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 1 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 2 of 55 those sites come with a range of challenges. It also details the potential cost savings in using available land along the coast that the city already owns to provide additional park and open space in the Southwest Quadrant. Discussion Overview The City Council passed a minute motion Jan. 26, 2021, directing staff “to bring back an item within the next six months with viable strategies regarding Planning Area F and other coastal properties to preserve open space and recreation” (Exhibit 2). The following information is presented in response to this direction. Considering the location of Planning Area F, this report includes those coastal properties that are in the city’s Southwest Quadrant and located west of Interstate 5; particularly, the city’s Local Facilities Management Zones 9 and 22 and that portion of Zone 3 located within the southwest quadrant. WHAT DOCUMENT SETS THE CITY’S OVERALL OPEN SPACE AND PARKS PERFORMANCE STANDARDS? In short, the city’s Growth Management Plan has provided the guidance regarding the city’s open space and parks performance standards for the past 35 years. In 1986, the voters and the City Council passed Proposition E and the Growth Management Plan, which placed conditions on how growth is to occur in the city, including minimum performance standards for various public facilities. These facilities included city administrative facilities, water and sewer, libraries, utilities, parks, drainage, circulation, fire, open space and schools. To ensure compliance with the standards, the city was divided into four quadrants and then further divided into 25 local facilities management zones. Each zone is required to have an adopted local facilities management plan that must describe how the zone will be developed, how compliance with the Growth Management Plan standards will be achieved, how the necessary public facilities will be provided, and what financing mechanisms will be used for the public facilities. Nothing in the Growth Management Plan prohibits the City Council from exceeding the performance standards for open space and park lands. However, there are legal limitations that may complicate the City Council’s ability to use traditional tools to acquire these additional lands. These legal limitations are discussed later in this report. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 2 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 3 of 55 WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT? The Growth Management Plan requires that 15% of the total land area within a local facilities management zone, excluding environmentally constrained non-developable land, be set aside for permanent open space and that it must be made available concurrent with development. Or, expressed another way, in addition to setting the environmentally constrained land aside as open space, an additional 15% of the otherwise developable land must be set aside for permanent open space concurrent with development. The Growth Management Plan’s performance standard for open space is applied to the overall area of the zone, as opposed to each parcel. A map of the currently protected or zoned open space land within this quadrant is provided in Exhibit 3. Zone 3 (portion) A very small portion of Zone 3 lies within the Southwest Quadrant. Most of the zone, roughly 85%, is in the Northwest Quadrant. It should be noted that in 1986, at the time the city adopted the Citywide Facilities and Improvement Plan, Zone 3 and several other local facility management zones were considered to be fully developed and in compliance with the open space performance standard, as reflected in City Council Resolution No. 8797 (Exhibit 4). Zone 9 In the case of Zone 9, which contains the Ponto Property, the boundaries of the remaining developable land in the zone coincide with the project boundaries of the Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park Master Plan (MP 175, approved Oct. 22, 1985), which was exempted from the growth management open space standard by Section 21.90.030(g) of Ordinance No. 9808 if certain restrictions were met, including a dedication of open space.1 In anticipation of future construction, the developer of the project detailed in the Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park Master Plan dedicated the necessary open space properties, completing that portion of the requirement for Section 21.90.030(g).2 Although the project was ultimately never constructed, these open space dedications were maintained and became part of the open space for the project that followed, the project defined in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan (MP 175(D), approved Jan. 18, 1994). These open space dedications are the basis for how the Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park Master Plan, the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and Zone 9 complied with the growth management open space performance standard.3 1 A condition of the project states that, prior to approval of the final map for Phase I, the master plan developer shall have agreed to participate in the restoration of a significant lagoon and wetland resource area and made any dedications of property necessary to accomplish the restoration. 2 City Council Resolution No. 8666 contained an agreement between the city and the developer for the open space property dedications noted above. 3 Poinsettia Shores Master Plan, pages 4 and 22. The plan states “the Growth Management Open Space standard is already met for Zone 9 through the earlier preservation of the sensitive bluffs and slopes”. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 3 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 4 of 55 Zone 22 Table 1 below shows the Growth Management Plan’s open space requirement for Zone 22 and the amount of open space that is currently preserved. A total of 4.57 acres of open space remains to be preserved to comply with the city standards. Once the developers of the remaining developable areas contribute 15% of their otherwise developable acreage to the open space required under the Growth Management Plan, then the total amount of open space in Zone 22 is projected to exceed the plan’s standard by 0.46 acres. Exhibit 19 provides a list and map of the parcels within Zone 22 that will be contributing to the 15% open space performance standard. Table 1: Current open space inventory – Southwest Quadrant Growth Management Plan open space requirement for Zone 22 21.56 acres Open space preserved in Zone 22 16.99 acres Remaining open space lands required in Zone 22 4.57 acres WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC PARK REQUIREMENTS IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT? Unlike open space, the Growth Management Plan’s performance standard for park space is applied to the entire quadrant, not each local facilities management zone. The Growth Management Plan requires three acres of community park or special use area for each 1,000 population within each park district. (The boundaries of the four districts correspond with the quadrant boundaries.) Should a park district fall into deficit, a park must be scheduled for construction within a five-year period beginning at the time the need is first identified.4 The five-year period was not to commence before Aug. 22, 2017, in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 2017-170 (Exhibit 5). As shown below, the current inventory of park acreage for the Southwest Quadrant totals 70.2 acres. A map showing the location of the park sites in this quadrant is provided in Exhibit 6. Table 2: Current city parks inventory – Southwest Quadrant Aviara Community Park 24.3 acres Poinsettia Community Park 41.2 acres Aviara Oaks School Field 4.7 acres Total city parks in Southwest Quadrant 70.2 acres The Growth Management Plan’s performance standard requires 77 acres of parks for this quadrant. Although the quadrant is short of the acreage required by 6.8 acres, the quadrant is not out of compliance with the performance standard because the five-year period has not been reached. That period will end Aug. 22, 2022. The adoption of the Veterans Memorial Park Master Plan by the City Council is the final action required to address this deficit in the Southwest Quadrant. The Veterans Memorial Park site is a city-owned, 91.5-acre undeveloped site located at the corner of Whitman Way and Faraday Avenue and within the Northwest Quadrant 4 According to City Council Resolution No. 97-435, “scheduled for construction” means that the improvements have been designed, a park site has been selected, and a financing plan for construction of the facility has been approved. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 4 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 5 of 55 Because of its size, centralized location and citywide significance, this site was intended to help fulfill future park needs citywide. When the Citywide Facilities and Improvement Plan was adopted in 1986, (City Council Resolution No. 8797, Exhibit 4), Veterans Memorial Park was apportioned equally to all four city quadrants to contribute toward meeting the Growth Management Plan’s parks performance standard for all four quadrants. The City Council has approved a financing plan for the development of the Veterans Memorial Park site (Capital Improvement Program Project No. 4609). The financing is to be provided through City of Carlsbad Community Facilities District No. 1, established in 1991, which imposed a special tax lien on vacant properties throughout the city. The district was created to finance the construction of specific public facilities of citywide obligation and benefit, including Veterans Memorial Park. As further detailed below, the funds from this district cannot be used for facilities other than those specified at the time the district was formed. Consistent with the intent of the Citywide Facilities and Improvement Plan and the Community Facilities District, the General Plan’s Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Element (Page 4-28, Table 4-7) credits 22.9 acres of the 91.5-acre Veterans Memorial Park to each quadrant’s future park inventory (Exhibit 7). The master planning process for the Veterans Memorial Park site commenced in December 2018, with the award of a professional services agreement for the project’s design, and public outreach began in March 2019. On Feb. 23, 2021, the City Council approved the recommended Veterans Memorial Park Master Plan Report in concept and directed staff to proceed with processing the necessary environmental documentation and permit entitlements (Exhibit 18). The final master plan and environmental documents and entitlements are scheduled to be reviewed and adopted before the conclusion of the five-year period, by Aug. 22, 2022. Once the final master plan is adopted by the City Council, the park will be considered “scheduled for construction,”6 and all four quadrants will be in full compliance with the Growth Management Plan’ park performance standard. ARE THERE VACANT OR UNDER-DEVELOPED SITES ALONG THE COAST FOR POSSIBLE OPEN SPACE AND/OR PARK USE? Staff analyzed the coastal area west of I-5 and found very few vacant or under-developed parcels within zones 3, 9 and 22 that were not already protected with an open space easement or designated as open space under the General Plan. Table 3 below lists properties that appear to be vacant or under-developed and possible sites appropriate for open space or park use within these Proposed plan for Veterans Memorial Park July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 5 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 6 of 55 Zones. Exhibit 8 provides a complete list and map of all vacant or under-developed parcels within these zones, including parcels that are designated as open space. The site numbers in the table below correspond with the site numbers on the maps in Exhibit 8. The chart also notes whether there are development permits that are active for the properties and whether there are encumbrances on the properties. Note that staff have not been in contact with any of the identified property owners to gauge their willingness or interest in selling their property to the city for open space and/or park use.

While there are no overt prohibitions in securing property for open space preservation or recreational use, there are, however, legal and financial considerations limiting the city’s ability to acquire a private property for a public purpose. These considerations are: Active development permit applications The property owners for sites 1, 2 and 7 in Table 3 have permit applications on file with the city to develop their respective properties (Exhibit 9). The application for the Ponto site (Site 1) is of particular significance because the property owner recently filed an application under the protections of Senate Bill 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019. Under the terms of this law, the applicant is entitled to a fast-track permit review and the city is only able to apply those codes and regulations that were in effect on the date the pre-application was filed, which was April 19, 2021. A letter from the applicant’s legal counsel bearing that date was sent to the City Council outlining what they believed to be the applicant’s rights under SB 330 (Exhibit 10). As reflected in the Jan. 26, 2021, staff report (Exhibit 1), the current General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Plan designations for the property allow for a multi-family residential development on the site, with 15 to 23 residential units per acre, and general commercial uses such as hotels, retail stores and service businesses. The applicant is entitled to develop the site consistent with these land use designations. However, the city does have the ability to approach any of these property owners to see whether they would be willing to sell their properties to the city at fair-market value prices. This would require an appraisal to determine a property’s value at its highest and best use, not the city’s intended use of the property. It should be noted that if an agreement on property value cannot be reached, but the city wishes to still pursue property acquisition, there is a risk that the property owners could make an inverse condemnation claim against the city. Inverse condemnation occurs when a government takes a property for public use even though no formal exercise of the power of eminent domain has been completed. This usually occurs when some action of the government damages the value of the property. Use of eminent domain If a property owner remains unwilling to sell a property, one alternative would be for the City Council to direct the City Attorney to refer the issue of property acquisition to an eminent domain specialist to determine whether a property could be acquired for open space or park use through the eminent domain process. However, the factors complicating the city’s use of eminent domain include the availability of land already owned by the city as well as city determinations our park standards have been met in the quadrant. Funding There are three funding sources that often come up as a means of financing open space and park acquisition. oPark-in-Lieu Fee Fund for the Southwest Quadrant The fiscal year 2020-21 ending fund balance in the Park In-Lieu Fee Fund for the Southwest Quadrant is $208,150. Park-in-lieu fees are charged to developers for park July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 7 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 8 of 55 acquisition and development. Park-in-lieu fees are segregated by quadrant to fund park projects in those quadrants. The park-in-lieu fee requirement falls under California Government Code Section 66477, the Quimby Act. This law allows California cities to require by ordinance the dedication of park land, or the payment of fees in lieu of such dedication of park land. Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 20.44.030 - General Standard states “It is found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, welfare and safety require that three acres of property for each 1,000 persons residing within this city shall be devoted to local park and recreational purposes.” The Quimby Act indicates the calculation for dedication of park land or payment of fees is not to exceed this codified standard, unless the City Council adopts a higher standard, but that higher standard is not to exceed five acres per 1,000 persons residing within the city. Under the terms of the City Council resolution that established the park-in-lieu fee (Exhibit 20, Resolution No. 3601), the funds collected are to provide “park and recreational facilities to serve future residents.” Based on this, staff are of the opinion that the fees cannot be used to acquire lands for natural open space purposes. According to the Quimby Act: (a) The legislative body of a city or county may, by ordinance, require the dedication of land or impose a requirement of the payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both, for park or recreational purposes as a condition to the approval of a tentative map or parcel map, if all of the following requirements are met: …(3)(A), The park land, fees, or combination thereof are to be used only for the purpose of developing new or rehabilitating existing park and recreation facilities… It should also be noted that if the properties listed in Table 3 are not developed as currently planned, park-in-lieu fees will not be collected as anticipated, and the city will not collect the property taxes that are currently forecast. oCommunity Facilities District No. 1 Community Facilities District No. 1 is a citywide public facility financing district created to pay for certain public improvements that provide benefits to the entire city to make sure the need for public facilities generated by development is met as development occurs. The funds from the district are to be spent only on 11 specifically identified public facilities, with Veterans Memorial Park, City Hall, Public Works Center and the expansion of Cole Library being the remaining public facilities to be funded by the district. By law, these funds cannot be spent on facilities other than those specified in the district’s formation documents. The properties listed in Table 3 are not specifically listed in the formation documents, nor are they likely candidates for the site of the remaining public facilities to be developed through this special funding district, so Community Facilities District No. 1 funds cannot be used to acquire properties in zones 3, 9 and 22 for open space or park purposes. oGeneral Fund The costs of acquiring, developing and maintaining open space and park lands could July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 8 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 9 of 55 be paid out of the city’s general fund, subject to certain limitations discussed below. With respect to the acquisition and development of a property for open space or a park, the city typically has multiple Capital Improvement Program projects that compete for available funding from the General Capital Construction Fund. In addition, the maintenance costs associated with additional open space or park sites have not been identified and built into the city’s ten-year forecast. Potential public vote requirement The City of Carlsbad’s spending of city general funds is limited by Proposition H, a measure passed by voters in 1982. The measure, which is cited in the city’s charter, prohibits the city from spending more than $1 million from its General Fund for real property acquisition or improvements to real property unless the proposed purchase and/or the improvement project and the cost in city funds is approved by a majority of city voters in an election. In 2002, voters passed Proposition C, which provided voter authorization to spend more than the $1 million limit on four projects: oCarlsbad Safety Training Center oAlga Norte Community Parks swimming pool complex oCannon Road extension oAcquisition of open space and trails Subsequent to the passage of Proposition C, the City Council formed the Proposition C Open Space and Trails Ad Hoc Citizens’ Committee in October 2005 to implement Proposition C and establish a prioritized list of potential property acquisitions associated with the open space and trails linkage component of Proposition C. On Oct. 10, 2006, (Exhibit 11), the City Council approved ranking criteria to help prioritize open space acquisition areas. The criteria focused on sites that were native or environmentally sensitive, of known paleontological, archeological or cultural resource value, provided connectivity to other open spaces, or that enhanced water quality. The committee considered and evaluated 13 properties for potential open space acquisition. These properties were ranked using the committee’s criteria and presented to the City Council in the committee’s final report on Sept. 19, 2007 (Exhibit 12). The City Council added three additional properties to be evaluated and included in the ranking. At a subsequent workshop on Feb. 20, 2008 (Exhibit 13), the City Council discussed all 16 properties and prioritized their importance (Exhibit 14). The private properties listed in Table 3 above are not included in the list of City Council- prioritized Proposition C open space acquisition areas. The properties also do not meet the open space criteria developed by the committee and approved by the City Council. For example, while the Ponto site is currently vacant, the property has a history of being graded, disturbed, and of being an active agricultural site that would need habitat rehabilitation and restoration to restore the property to its natural condition. Based on this history, staff believe the sites in Table 3 would be subject to the requirements of Proposition H if they were to be acquired for an open space or park use. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 9 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 10 of 55 ARE THERE OPEN SPACE AND/OR PARKS OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE REALIGNMENT OF CARLSBAD BOULEVARD? Yes. The city-owned land along Carlsbad Boulevard could be used to provide additional park space in the coastal area of the city. To help explain, the sections below provide information on both the policy direction and efforts underway to realign Carlsbad Boulevard to make better use of the public property for residents, businesses and tourists. Carlsbad Boulevard Coastal Corridor – General Plan policy direction Reimagining Carlsbad Boulevard and the adjacent public land, the Carlsbad Boulevard coastal corridor, has been a capital project of importance for the City Council for several years and is described in Policy 2-P.53 of the Carlsbad General Plan Land Use and Community Design Element (Exhibit 15). The policy, which provides a great amount of detail and direction for how Carlsbad Boulevard should be reimagined to be more than just a road, established guiding principles that will help create a coastal corridor that incorporates core community values, including: oPhysical connectivity through multimodal mobility improvements including bikeways, pedestrian trails and traffic-calmed streets5 oSocial connectivity through the creation of memorable public spaces and additional coastal access routes oEconomic vitality through a combination of visitor and local-serving commercial, civic and recreational uses and services oCarlsbad Boulevard can become a destination and more than just a road for cars. This transportation corridor has the potential of providing recreational, aesthetic and community gathering opportunities that equal the remarkable character of the land oCreating a destination that provides a safe public environment to recreate oStrategic public access and parking are keys to success. Development can capitalize on opportunities to add/enhance multiple public access points, beach parking and related recreational amenities oA realignment can preserve and enhance public views of ocean, lagoons and other water bodies and beaches, as well as streetscape and landscaped multimodal access routes oEnhancement of the area’s vitality through diversity of recreational land uses. Carlsbad Boulevard development can provide for amenities, services and goods that attract a diversity of residents and visitors o A realignment can provide for unique and vibrant coastal gathering spaces where people of all age groups and interests can gather to enjoy recreational and 5 Multimodal mobility refers to travel by all possible means, including not just vehicles but transit, walking and bicycling and other common means of getting around. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 10 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 11 of 55 environmental amenities and supporting commercial uses oConnect community, place and spirit. Improved design can complement and enhance connectivity between existing community and regional land uses oA signature scenic corridor shall be created through design that honors the coastline’s natural beauty. The resulting improvements will capture the ‘essence’ of Carlsbad; making it a special place for people from throughout the region with its natural beauty and vibrant public spaces. Properly carried out, the realigned boulevard will maximize public views and encourage all users to slow down and enjoy the scenery oReimagining of Carlsbad Boulevard shall be visionary. The reimagined Carlsbad Boulevard corridor will incorporate core community values articulated in the Carlsbad Community Vision by providing: a) Physical connectivity through multimodal mobility improvements including bikeways, pedestrian trails and a traffic-calmed street b) Social connectivity through creation of memorable public spaces c) Economic vitality through a combination of visitor and local-serving commercial, civic and recreational uses and services Carlsbad Boulevard Coastal Corridor - Reimagining efforts The city received the right of way along Carlsbad Boulevard in the early 1950s when the state chose a route just to the east for Interstate 5. Because the right of way was sized for a possible interstate highway, this gave the city additional land on either side of Carlsbad Boulevard that was not needed for the roadway. Realigning Carlsbad Boulevard could open up this land so that it could be used for future open space and park uses, such as wider bicycle lanes and sidewalks, on-site parking, an enhanced multi-purpose trail or other uses of greater benefit to the community. Individual segments of Carlsbad Boulevard have been realigned at various times since it has been under the city’s control. In 2008, the city completed the realignment of about 0.6 miles of roadway from Breakwater Road to Ponto Road, as a part of the Poinsettia Cove development. This project shifted the two southbound travel lanes to the east, opening up space along the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard that could be turned into parkland or open space. In addition to these changes, three Capital Improvement Program projects to potentially realign Carlsbad Boulevard are in the planning and design phase: oThe Carlsbad Boulevard and Tamarack Avenue Pedestrian Improvements Project (CIP Project No. 6058), which would evaluate multiple alternatives for improving coastal access, safety and multimodal operations and reconfigure the travel lanes near the intersection. oThe Terramar Area Coastal Improvement Project (CIP Project No. 6054) will construct a roundabout at the intersection of Cannon Road and Carlsbad Boulevard, July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 11 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 12 of 55 include other multimodal road improvements and provide additional parking. The project also includes bluff improvements and beach access enhancements. oThe Realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard from Manzano Drive to La Costa Avenue Project (CIP Project No. 6031) includes a study of future roadway realignment alternatives, infrastructure needs, land uses, commercial land development options, public park coastal access opportunities and related long-term coastal planning issues The city has been studying the realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard from the Terramar neighborhood to the Batiquitos Lagoon since the 1980s, with the intent of providing protection of the southbound lanes from coastal erosion and storm damage while increasing public access and amenities along the southern coastline. The extensive history of the Carlsbad Boulevard realignment effort is explained in the June 2020 South Carlsbad Boulevard Climate Adaptation Project staff report provided in Exhibit 16. As explained in Exhibit 16, the City Council approved agreements for engineering and environmental services for design work related to the Carlsbad Boulevard Realignment in 2011. The scope of this work includes an analysis of alternatives based on prior planning studies on the reuse of surplus land for recreational uses and parking, as well as on such issues as additional right of way, easements, permits, disruption of utility service lines, traffic and environmental impacts and construction, operations and maintenance costs. The services that have already been performed include public outreach, preparation of a community involvement plan and analyses of recreational and environmental opportunities and constraints, trails connectivity, parking and traffic, as well as other supporting studies. The project continued throughout 2012 and 2013 and culminated in two preliminary conceptual designs for the eastern realignment of the roadway and proposed uses along the coast. One alternative included four vehicular lanes, two in each direction, with the two southbound travel lanes realigned to the east, along with new traffic signals, Class II bicycle lanes and a ten-foot wide Class I multi-use trail on the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard from Manzano Road to the southern border.6 The second alternative proposed reducing Carlsbad Boulevard from four to two vehicular travel lanes, one in each direction, and adding roundabouts and Class II bicycle lanes with a separated Class I multi-use trail. The study area included a 2.7-mile long, 57-acre strip about 200 to 390 feet wide, with more than 40 of these acres in the area south of Solamar Drive. It should be noted that there are two distinct road segments within the realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard study area, which extends from Manzano Drive south to the city’s southern border. The northern segment between Manzano Drive and around Island Way is being studied as part of the South Carlsbad Boulevard Climate Adaptation Study. This northern segment is a high-priority project needed to address coastal erosion and maintain the structural integrity of the southbound travel lanes. The next steps for this study include public outreach opportunities and events this summer. The draft conceptual designs are targeted for review by the City Council by year’s end. 6 Class II bike lanes run along streets and are defined by pavement striping and signage that designate a portion of a roadway for bicycle travel. A Class I multiuse trail provides an exclusive pathway for bicyclists and pedestrians, away from vehicles. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 12 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 13 of 55 The southern segment includes the portion of Carlsbad Boulevard between Island Way to the city’s southern border. This schedule for that project is to be updated after the work on the northern segment is completed. The conceptual planning for a realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard is not complete, so staff evaluated the 2.7 mile road segment using current aerial imagery with the travel lanes positioned as far to the east as possible. This would maximize the available space for recreational and active transportation uses on the west side of the public right of way, as shown in Exhibit 17. This aerial map evaluation indicates that realigning the travel lanes to the east could free up a total of 62 acres along the west side of the roadway and outside of its assumed right of way for other uses. There are three areas that are wider and more conducive to a broader variety of additional uses: xAbout three to more than 10 acres west of the realigned intersection at Palomar Airport Road xA wider area of about 10 acres near Encinas Creek between Solamar Drive and Island Way xThe Ponto Beach areas south of Avenida Encinas, also approximately 10 acres The Palomar Airport Road area is large enough to allow for a multitude of potential uses. The areas near Encinas Creek and Ponto Beach could accommodate such uses as beach access and viewpoints, active transportation, parking and open space. The realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard along the entire 2.7 mile segment has the potential to create a world-class multimodal mobility corridor and provide access to over 60 acres of city- owned property that could give Carlsbad a continuous corridor of open space, parks and recreational uses all connected with a high quality – and safer – walking and biking network in the Southwest Quadrant. WHAT IS THE BEST PATH FORWARD FOR A PUBLIC PARK IN THE COASTAL AREA OF THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT? The city has met the park standards that were adopted by its residents and implemented by the council. There is a limited amount of available land within the coastal area of the Southwest Quadrant for open space or public park land and, as discussed in this staff report, acquiring it would be challenging. Should the City Council wish to exceed the performance standards of the Growth Management Plan and move forward with the development of land along the coast for park or open space, it is staff’s opinion that the best option involves developing the Carlsbad Boulevard realignment project with a design that opens up more park land and open space. The boulevard’s right of way is already owned by the city, which saves acquisition costs; a city policy is already established that provides a great amount of detail and direction for how Carlsbad Boulevard should be reimagined (General Plan Policy 2-P.53), and the project has been studied and analyzed to show that a Carlsbad Boulevard realignment project could open up significant acreage and provide the city an opportunity to develop parks, open space, beach access, trails, parking, and other uses. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 13 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 14 of 55 Options The pros and cons of the many options before the City Council are reflected in the considerations detailed above. Staff will follow up on any direction given by the City Council on the specific option or options chosen. Fiscal Analysis There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the receiving this informational report. Next Steps Staff will proceed as directed by the City Council. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) This action is not a “project” as defined in California Public Resources Code Section 21065 and California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) because it involves administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. The action being considered is an informational report on private property, which on its own accord will not cause a significant environmental impact, so this activity is not subject to CEQA under Section 15060(c)(3). Public Notification Public notice of this item was posted in keeping with the Ralph M. Brown Act and it was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date.

Community Parks Community parks are typically 20-50 acres in size (though there are several smaller parks “grandfathered” into this classification), and designed to serve the recreational needs of several neighborhoods, with a focus on serving families from the vicinity with daily frequency. Community parks generally provide active and passive use amenities; however, they are not limited to the exclusive use of either. Minimum facilities should include: • Family-oriented picnic areas •Group picnic areas • Turfed open space areas for free play • Multi-purpose playfield(s) (lighted when appropriate) • Tot lot areas • Structures for lectures, meetings, skills, instructions, etc. • Buffer areas • Special use facilities such as community gardens, swimming pools, tennis courts, horseshoes, handball and racquetball courts, bicycle paths, skate parks, dog parks, etc. as per specific community demand may be located within these parks if appropriate to the interests and needs of the com- munity in which the park is located. Special Use Areas Special use areas are typically between one and five acres in size, with only one or two basic uses, which can be either active or passive in orientation. Examples include, but are not limited to, swim facilities, skate parks, dog parks, tennis courts or picnic areas. School sites that operate under a joint-use facility agreement between the City of Carlsbad and a school district are also included in the inventory. Adequate access should be a primary siting criteria utilized in determining the location of special use areas. Special Resource Areas Special resource areas have citywide and potentially regional significance related to the quality of the site or service that it provides. This quality may be a natural feature (geological, ecological, hydrological), historical resource (archi- tectural, archaeological), or some combination thereof. Special resource areas are typically larger than community parks. y,//dϳ July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 23 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 24 of 55 4-22 City of Carlsbad Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation4 Active and Passive Recreation. In addition to a park’s primary classification, the city may describe a park as containing active and/or passive areas. Parks can be developed with either active or passive park amenities or a combination of both. Active park areas typically provide a form of organized and/or supervised recreation, such as gymnasiums, swim complexes, multi-use ball fields, tot lots, hard court play surfaces, volleyball, horseshoe areas, BMX bike courses, and skate parks or a combination thereof. Passive park areas often provide minimal or no amenities associated with active use. The very nature of passive use implies quiet, contemplative, low impact activity, such as nature trails, walkways, picnic tables, benches, and small turf and/or landscaped areas. Regional Recreation. Three of the city’s special resource areas (Lake Calavera, Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Batiquitos Lagoon) and one community park (Veterans Memorial), as well as the beaches, serve a regional recreation need; however, they will continue to function pursuant to their primary park classifi- cation as identified above. Existing Park and Recreation Areas Carlsbad currently has 13 community parks (254.6 acres), 27 special use areas (81.1 acres), and five special resource areas (more than 1,300 acres). Table 4-4 provides a list of existing parks in the city, the quadrants in which they are located, and approximate acreages by park. Special resource areas do not count toward the Growth Management Plan. Although golf courses are a source of recreation, these park acreage numbers and ratios do not include land dedicated to golf courses (golf courses are not classified as parks). Golf courses are included in the calculation of the overall supply of open space in the city. Future Park and Recreation Areas The city’s Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment and Comprehensive Action Plan, which was completed in Fall 2013, indicates the current trends and rec- reational needs identified by the Carlsbad community. The plan is based upon extensive community participation, and Table 4-5 identifies some of the antici- pated future park development projects based upon input received. In addition to the future parks identified in Table 4-5, an area referred to as Hub Park may provide an opportunity for a future park; however, the park is not planned at this time. In 1975, as a result of the approval of the Encina Power plant, SDG&E and the city entered into a lease that allows the city to use a portion of the SDG&E owned property on the south shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon for park and recreational purposes. The term of the lease is for 60 years and can be extended to 99 years or 2074. The potential future park area is approximately 91 acres. Because this park is not a planned park, it is not included in the future park inventory.

Parkland and Open Space Standards Growth Management The city’s Growth Management Plan facility standard for parks is described in Section 4.2 and summarized below in Table 4.6. The city annually monitors the status of compliance with all Growth Management Plan facilities standards. As of 2013, the city’s park facilities are consistent with the Growth Management Plan park facilities standard and citywide there is a ratio of three acres per 1,000 population. See below for information regarding future park demand. Quimby Act The 1975 Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) authorizes cities to require developers to set aside land or pay fees for park improvements. The goal of the act is to require developers to help provide for parkland needs of new development. The act allows cities to require dedication or in lieu fees for community and neighborhood parkland contributions up to three acres per 1,000 population, or up to five acres per 1,000 population to match the existing ratio if it is higher than three acres per 1,000 population. Under the Quimby Act, fees must be paid and/or land conveyed directly to the local public agencies that provide park and recreation services communitywide; however, revenues generated through the Quimby Act cannot be used for the operation and maintenance of park facilities. The city’s parkland standards are consistent with the Quimby Act. July 13, 2021 Item #14 Page 28 of 53 Jan. 4, 2022 Item 3 Page 29 of 55 4-28 City of Carlsbad Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation4 Future Demand and Parkland Distribution Carlsbad will have an estimated 51,821 dwelling units and 129,901 residents at buildout. Based on this projection and applying the current park standards from the Growth Management Plan, future demand for park land will be 389.7 acres citywide. Assuming completion of currently planned parks, including Veteran’s Memorial Park and Robertson Ranch Park, the city will at buildout have a parkland surplus in each of the four quadrants, and a 64.9 acre surplus citywide. Table 4-7 summarizes the city’s projected park needs and the estimated amount of future park acreage.
