Background On Sept. 14, 2021, the City Council asked staff to gather input from the community about the potential future use of about 60 acres of city-owned coastal land in south Carlsbad. The city sought input on the south Carlsbad coastline through three specific opportunities: Online survey, Jan. 20 -March 16, 2022 Strategic plan virtual public workshop, featuring coastal group breakout rooms, Feb. 1, 2022 Meetings with groups and organizations with a specific interest in the project area Concurrent with gathering input about the future of the south Carlsbad coastline, city staff sought community input on overall priorities for the next five years to help inform the City Council's five-year strategic plan. This was done through: I =I An online survey, Jan. 6-Feb. 7, 2022 ~ A virtual ideas wall, Jan. 6 -Feb. 7, 2022 Comments gathered during the strategic plan input process that related to coastal priorities are also included in the summary report. Communication & Engagement City Hall 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I www.carlsbadca.gov Council Memo -Community input on south Carlsbad's coastline April 14, 2022 Page 2 About the input Although more than 3,000 community members participated in at least one of the input opportunities, this was not a scientific survey where the opinions expressed could be generalized to the larger population with a defined margin of error. Instead, this input is · qualitiative, meant to describe the values, needs and priorities of those who participated. This kind of input could be considered similar to emails sent to the City Council or comments shared by the public at a City Council meeting. Decisions already made The city's General Plan includes guiding principles for south Carlsbad Boulevard, and the mobility element further defines Carlsbad Boulevard as a "coastal street.'; With these exisiting policy statements, community members were asked to share their values, needs and priorities. Summary Due to the high number of responses (more than 20,000 individual comments), the report's summary does not include all the ideas and perspectives shared by the public. Readers are encouraged to review the verbatim responses and meeting summaries included in the appendices for a comprehensive understanding of the input gathered. Some of the key topics of interest summarized in the report include: • Natural environment • Walking and biking • Views • Traffic • Safety • Community character Next steps • This input report will be shared with the public. • The project team will consider the input gathered and complete three alternative conceptual designs for the 1-mile project area from Manzano Drive to Island Way. • The proposed alternative conceptual designs will be shared with the community for feedback this summer. • The project team plans to present the proposed alternative conceptual designs to the City Council in August for selection of one preferred design to prepare a 30% engineering design concept. • The project team will complete the South Carlsbad Boulevard Climate Adaptation Project, including the 30% engineering design concept by February 2023. • Staff will await City Council direction on any further work to realign south Carlsbad Boulevard and repurpose the resulting 60 acres of coastal land owned by the city.

Today, I-5 serves this purpose, creating an opportunity to reclaim the southern coastal corridor as a place for the community to enjoy. By moving vehicle traffic to the easternmost lanes of Carlsbad Boulevard, about 60 acres of city-owned land spanning three miles of coastline could be freed up for parks, walking paths, bike lanes, parking, picnic areas, shops, restaurants, artwork and other uses the community would enjoy. To put this in perspective, Carlsbad’s largest park, Poinsettia Community Park, is about 42 acres. The beachfront park at Pine Avenue is less than one acre. In addition to providing greater public access to the coast, moving vehicle lanes to the east would help protect Carlsbad Boulevard from the future effects of sea level rise. The city is working on a California State Coastal Conservancy grant funded project to redesign a 1-mile stretch of Carlsbad Boulevard from Manzano Drive to Island Way for this purpose. Input gathered will be used to help inform the design of this 1-mile project area and for the future design of the other two miles. Public engagement goal Gather input from the Carlsbad community about their priorities, needs and values related to the future use of south Carlsbad Boulevard, within the parameters of the city’s General Plan. The General Plan includes guiding principles for the future use of south Carlsbad Boulevard as well as street design guidance that emphasizes biking, walking and access to the coast. Public engagement objectives • Community members are aware of opportunities to provide input • Community members find at least one of the opportunities convenient and comfortable, based on their preferences and levels of interest • This public engagement process helps further build relationships between the city and those it serves • The process seeks out and involves a broad cross section of community members • Participants have a clear understanding of how their input will be used Introduction South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report Decisions already made The City of Carlsbad General Plan was approved in 2015 following several years of extensive public outreach and engagement. Included in the General Plan are guiding principles and policies for south Carlsbad Boulevard: Guiding principles • Carlsbad Boulevard shall become more than a road. This transportation corridor shall provide for recreational, aesthetic and community gathering opportunities that equal the remarkable character of the land. • Community safety shall be a high priority. Create a destination that provides a safe public environment to recreate. • Strategic public access and parking is a key to success. Development shall capitalize on opportunities to add/enhance multiple public access points and public parking for the beach and related recreational amenities. • Open views are desirable and important to maintaining the character of the area. Preservation and enhancement of views of ocean, lagoons, and other water bodies and beaches shall be a high priority in road, landscaping, and amenity design and development. • Enhance the area’s vitality through diversity of recreational land uses. Carlsbad Boulevard development shall provide for amenities, services and goods that attract a diversity of residents and visitors. • Create vibrant and sustainable public spaces. Development shall provide for unique and vibrant coastal gathering spaces where people of all age groups and interests can gather to enjoy recreational and environmental amenities and supporting commercial uses. • Connect community, place and spirit. Design shall complement and enhance connectivity between existing community and regional land uses. • Environmentally sensitive design is a key objective. Environmentally sensitive development that respects existing coastal resources is of utmost importance. • A 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 everyone to slow down and enjoy the scenery. • Reimagining of Carlsbad Boulevard shall be visionary. The reimagined Carlsbad Boulevard corridor will incorporate core community values articulated in the Carlsbad Community Vision by providing: 1. physical connectivity through multi-modal mobility improvements including bikeways, pedestrian trails and a traffic-calmed street; 2. social connectivity through creation of memorable public spaces; and 3. economic vitality through a combination of visitor and local-serving commercial, civic and recreational uses and services. Mobility element The city's General Plan also includes policies for how different types of streets are designed. Carlsbad Boulevard falls under the category of coastal streets, which calls for the following design elements: South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report • Primary purpose is to move people along the city’s ocean waterfront and connect people to the beach, recreation, businesses and residences in close proximity to the waterfront. The street serves as a destination for people who seek to drive, walk and bicycle along the ocean waterfront. • Designed to safely move all modes of travel while enhancing mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists. • Vehicle speeds shall be managed to support uses along the coast. • Enhanced bicycle and pedestrian crossings should be provided, including: – High visibility crosswalks – Enhanced pedestrian notifications (e.g. responsive push- button devices) – Enhanced bicycle detection – Bicycle lanes shall be provided and can be further enhanced or complemented by other facilities (such as bicycle lane buffers or off-street pathways). • Pedestrian facilities should be a minimum of five feet and shall strive for six to eight feet in width and shall conform to ADA requirements. • Pedestrian crossing distances should be minimized. • Trail facilities should be encouraged. • Opportunities for mid-block pedestrian crossings should be investigated. • On-street parking should be provided. • Transit facility and operation improvements should be encouraged. This input process focused on gaining a better understanding of community values, needs and priorities in the context of these policy decisions that have already been made. In most cases, the community’s input is consistent with the framework already in place. In other cases, suggestions from the public are at odds with what has already been decided. For example, many respondents expressed concern about development, preferring to keep the area unchanged from its current state. The guiding principles include economic vitality, which would provide visitor-serving commercial uses alongside civic and recreational uses. All input received has been included in this report. South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report By providing multiple ways for the public to provide input, decision makers can hear from a large and diverse group of community members. However, unlike a scientific survey, the findings of this process cannot be generalized to the entire Carlsbad population within a defined margin of error. That’s why the input in this report should be considered with a similar weight as other qualitative forms of feedback that have always been part of the city’s decision-making process, such as comments made at City Council meeting or emails sent to the city expressing an opinion. The city sought input on the south Carlsbad coastline through three specific opportunities: Online survey, Jan. 20 – March 16, 2022 Strategic plan virtual public workshop, featuring coastal group breakout rooms, Feb. 1, 2022 Meetings with groups and organizations with a specific interest in the project area Concurrent with gathering input about the future of the south Carlsbad coastline, city staff sought community input on overall priorities for the next five years to help inform the City Council’s five-year strategic plan. This was done through: An online survey, Jan. 6 – Feb. 7, 2022 A virtual ideas wall, Jan. 6 – Feb. 7, 2022 Comments gathered during the strategic plan input process that related to coastal priorities are also included in this summary report.

Staff have summarized and identified themes based on the input shared. Input from stakeholder groups with specific interests in the area are summarized in the next section of this report. Respondents were asked to share what they enjoy most about Carlsbad’s southern coastline today. Some common themes included: • Natural beauty • Quiet, peaceful environment • The space feels open and undeveloped • Being able to enjoy the view of the ocean whether walking, bicycling or driving • The ability to park for free • It doesn’t feel too crowded • Seems the same while other parts of Carlsbad have changed • Safer biking and walking • Less noise and air pollution from traffic when enjoying the coast • Slower speed limits • More parking, bathrooms, showers and other amenities • Easier to make a U-turn/change directions • An area for dogs • Places to gather, fire rings • Playground or other area for kids that feels safe • Volleyball courts • Places to eat (restaurant and take out) • Better access for people with disabilities Due to the high number of responses (more than 20,000 individual comments), this summary does not include all the ideas and perspectives shared by the public. Readers are encouraged to review the verbatim responses and meeting summaries included in the appendices for a comprehensive understanding of the input gathered. Public input summary What makes this area special? What would make it better? South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report After considering all the input provided by the public, city staff identified several common themes or topics. Under each are sample points of view shared. • Maintain the natural landscape and feel of the coastline. • This area is unique among other coastal locations because of its relatively undeveloped nature. • Don’t turn the coastline into another Venice Beach or other crowded Southern California beach areas. • Make walking and bike paths wider. • Create paths for walkers and bicyclists separated from cars and from each other. • Consider natural materials like decomposed granite. • Make walking and biking safer. • Connect walking paths to the existing path in the north to create one uninterrupted coastal trail. • Don’t change what makes this area of Carlsbad special. • If development must be included, make it just a few small, unique shops and restaurants. • Don’t attract generic or chain brand stores and restaurants or “tacky” souvenir shops. • Consider “fast casual” high quality healthy food options. • Create an opportunity for fine dining with an ocean view. • Attract places for breakfast, brunch and coffee. • Preserve unobstructed views that can be enjoyed while walking, biking and driving. • Don’t let this part of Carlsbad Boulevard become like other coastal cities in the region where you cannot see the ocean when driving along the coast. • If the area becomes too crowded, it will be harder for locals to access the beach. • Tourism brings in money to the city, which is needed to fund public amenities. • Make accessing the beach quick and easy. • If too many people are attracted to the area, it will be harder for locals to access the beach. Common themes Theme: Keep the area natural; retain what makes it special Theme: Prioritize safe, accessible biking and walking paths Theme: Ensure any shops and restaurants do not interfere with the natural, undeveloped feel of the area. Theme: Preserve views Theme: Keep the needs of residents top of mind. Theme: Maintain or improve access to the beach South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report • Don’t do anything that would cause more traffic congestion. • Rising sea levels could affect new amenities if they’re located on the coast. • Control erosion, and keep sand on the beach. Most respondents said they did not want the area to change or to have any development. Among those who suggested improvements, following are some of the ideas shared: Better walking and biking trails Outdoor gatherings space for picnics, music Space for food trucks A small venue for concerts and plays More camping spots Art galleries and studio space Surf, paddleboard rentals and lessons Lockers to store beach items Lower the speed limit Bike maintenance stations or repair shops Radio controlled airplane area Exercise stations More restrooms and showers A nature center Water bottle filling stations Telescopes Breakfast/brunch spot Casual, affordable healthy restaurant Casual bar for locals Coastal interpretive/whale watching center/nature center Dog park or dog beach Something like the camp store Open park space Playground Pickleball courts A pier A shuttle to help with parking More parking Horseback riding Theme: Keep traffic moving Theme: Protect the environment, bluffs and habitat Specific improvements South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report Respondents were asked what shops, services and food establishment they would use if they were available in the area. None of the above was the top answer, consistent with an overall concern about keeping the area’s natural look and feel. Note: Suggestions made under the category of “other” helped inform the overall themes shared on previous pages. Verbatim responses are included in the appendices. Shops and services What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? None of the above Casual restJurant Specialty food like ice cream, frolen yogurt, coffee Other (please specify} Food concessions Uke Moonlight Beach Breweries, wineries or bars Fine dining restaurant Rentals (bikes, surlboards, etc.) Shop with convenience items like sunscreen, drinks, etc. Retail shops 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report Respondents were asked to describe this part of Carlsbad’s coastline 20 years from now if it were improved just the way they’d like it to be. The word cloud below highlights key terms used in nearly 3,000 descriptions submitted. A safe place where you can enjoy the beautiful Carlsbad coast. Families walking, enjoying a casual bike ride. Friends catching up enjoying a glass of wine or beer. Romantic dinner enjoying the beautiful sunset and if lucky see the green flash. During the summer, concerts in the park next to the ocean. NO SHOPS. The space is all about nature, being outside, promote social enjoyment outside with a beautiful view. A sprawling park overlooking ocean with grass, trees, bike and walking trails. A few restaurants and specialty stores but not overly commercialized. The rugged and natural beauty and simplicity of what's there today is not lost. A unique feel similar to powerhouse park in Del Mar. A way for a 80-year-old to easily access the beach and enjoy it! Future vision change biking walking way grass use enjoy view walking trail s native plants city love coast plenty restaurants free natural beauty walk view ocean relax safe land Leave people walking s community better Leave alone cars experience people businesses access beach preserved lots sand nature along coast Walking biking developed place people enjoying space take beautif u I traffic buildings need open space ocean beach without park clean area go see enjoy Carlsbad retail coastline drive walking paths 1oca1 ocean vieWS teel development great bike pathS wil l Keep shops restaurants road park area view one look etc natural today shops landscape beach access Open bike lanes undeveloped nice walkways familie s less don t parking lots now crowded easy access improved still much trails allow small maybe Sample responses South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report A wide variety of activities to do either on the beach or near it, with a beautiful view. I think more options of things to do on our coastline is a great idea, but not too many things. Keep it simple. More nature, and a few food places/places to get drinks, but not too much. We love our coastline, please done urbanize it too much. Keep what makes Carlsbad great, the simplicity of the beach and nature Absolutely nothing has changed since my family and I moved here in 2000. Don’t change anything- leave the oceanfront alone. After pulling into a parking spot on the east side of Carlsbad Blvd, I opened the car door to the sound of crashing waves and calling gulls. I made my way to the sandy trail overlooking the bluffs and walked for a 2 mile stretch, enjoying a break from the din San Diego of traffic, before I turned around. Between the walking path and bike path, which was east of me. native plants bloomed. A bicyclist waved, a few families made their way down the bluff stairs to enjoy the beach at low tide, and a few ladies sat at a bench chatting and enjoying a cup of coffee from the coffee kiosk by the entrance. This is one pocket of preserved paradise and simplicity in San Diego County that has kept me living here another 20 years. Along Carlsbad Blvd, there are sidewalks, and people are easily able to walk from the Coaster station to the beach. In the underutilized land, a small, dense village center is created, with shops, as well as new parkland. Half of the road has been converted into a separated bikeway (and busway, if possible) that is fun and safe to casually ride along. Some of the freeway-like connections/conditions of the road (such as with Palomar Airport Rd) have been modified and simplified to improve safety and walkability. An area where people would gather, walk and enjoy the beautiful coastline. I wouldn't want to see if jammed with a bunch of junky shops. I would hope that the ocean was still visible as you drive along the coast. One of the best kept secrets right now along the coast is the campground camp store! I would love to see space used for that kind of casual, "ride your bike to it" kind of place where you can sit out and enjoy the beautiful coast! An open space, beautiful art-themed park next to the ocean (think Park Guell in Barcelona). That could be enjoyed by the residents and attract tourists. Where else is there a beautiful, largely undeveloped open space park next to the ocean? Nowhere. It could be one of a kind and something to be enjoyed and appreciated for generations to come. An overall much better balance of modern conveniences and nature. No more paved roads to nowhere like the old tarmac between Carlsbad Blvd south and the campground. No more ugly park maintenance buildings blocking the ocean view like at Avenida Encinas. Low profile, well placed, and easily accessible restroom facilities. Planned roadway and parking areas away from the beach and beach cliffs. An electric shuttle vehicle fleet servicing parking to/fro beach access. Bicycle repair stations along the dedicated bike path. As I walk along the path, it dips down onto the beach and then up along the bluff. There is a comfortable park bench for me to sit down and relax. I see dolphins in the water just off the shore line, I don't hear loud cars, prop planes, or motorcycles, just the sound of the waves crashing on the shore and the sound of seagulls encouraging their peers on. South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report It is peaceful, calm, and nourishing. Beautiful Green patches of little parks, benches for picnics, wide two way pedestrian and bike passage like coast Blvd. in Santa Barbara…better lifeguard stations and clean bathrooms. Minimal shops or none! Please check our fletcher cove in Solana beach! Our neighbors have already done what we are thinking to do in next 20years!?? Exactly the same as today Families and children, residents and visitors, art walks, activity, all types of users enjoying the coastline and beach - not just campground users and hard core users (surfers, skilled bikers, etc.). An area to visit for special occasions, ocean view restaurant(s), playground equipment, public plazas, expanded beach access. All types of users, experiencing the area in all types of different ways, while still maintaining the natural beauty and feel of the area Families coming without struggle finding parking. Parents with small children playing on the playground. Seniors using the exercise stations while visiting with each other. Friends and family are picnicking. Couple sitting at the benches and talking. While the bicycles zoom by and walkers, runners have their own lane. I see it as “everyone’s front porch” I love the vibe and feel of Carlsbad especially since i was born and raised there and want to remain unchanged to maintain the soul of the city I see a beautiful, safe walkway from La Costa to Carlsbad Village Dr. where I can see, hear, and smell the ocean. I see beautiful spots to rest and relax where you can watch a sunset. I see a few (not a lot) of well run dining experiences where I can have a glass of wine or snow cone. I see how easy it is to push a wheelchair on the walkway. I see plenty of parking and easy access to the sand. I wouldnt want to see drastic changes, just a few small enhancements to bring out the best of the natural space. I dont want to see it turn into a shopping mall with retail stores and convenience stores. But, it would be nice to build a community park that includes a playground, a dog park, and a dog beach. I imagine that whole space to be a car-free zone, with EV charging stations, bike-only lanes, and pedestrian-only lanes. It would be nice to have a cafe or two nearby to grab coffee for a morning walk or sandwiches for a sunset picnic! I’m filled with pride at the natural beauty I can spend time with my kids and grandkids in a beautiful and fun spot like moonlight beach There are light services so you don’t have to leave to get food while you visit but natural beauty has led the design There is something special and unique to carlsbad, it’s not a copy of either Oceanside or moonlight beach It would be have a great meandering bike and walking paths with a mixture of native plants, grassy areas, fountains, benches and tables, and spots to check out the views. There might be small restaurants and shops but they would be far and few between with a lack of focus on cars. Similar to a balboa park, golden gate park or area that has parking on outskirts but might have buskers and activities for tourists and locals. Similar to a malecón. South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report Park-like setting (grass/trees/benches/tables), lots of paths and walking, bike lanes, clean bathrooms, some concessions, all attracting lots of people and their pets. Maybe a small outdoor amphitheater for outdoor concerts/music and local gatherings. Small area for chess/cards/games...... People are casually flowing back and forth between the beach and a waterfront park, restaurants and shops with no cars in sight. Active people are running, walking and biking for miles along the coast without interacting with cars. There is parking along the east side of all of that goodness so we can access it easily and without trouble but once we're there we enjoy the coast carless. It a destination for families, runners, walkers, bikers and people who love the beach. Southbound Carlsbad Boulevard moved as far east as possible, and a separate bicycle and separate pedestrian protected corridor. Vehicle parking that does not conflict with bikes and pedestrians. Otherwise, it would be like it is now. You would feel like your connected to the beach with open views but you would have easy access, people of all ages would enjoy the peacefulness and tranquility of the ocean South Carlsbad’s Coastline Public Input Report City staff met with groups that have a specific interest in the project area and documented their feedback. The groups included: Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation Bike Walk Carlsbad Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort and Spa Carlsbad Seapointe Resort Circulate San Diego Arts Commission* Beach Preservation Commission* Traffic & Mobility Commission Parks & Recreation Commission Encina Wastewater Authority Friends of Cardiff & Carlsbad State Beaches Hanover Beach Colony HOA Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach Hotel Lakeshore Gardens Senior Community Lanikai Lane North County Cycle Club of San Diego People for Ponto Poinsettia Cove San Diego County Bicycle Coalition San Pacifico HOA Sierra Club Next Gen Solamar HOA Surfrider Foundation Terramar Association Visit Carlsbad Waters End *Meetings that are scheduled but have not been completed as of April 14, 2022 (the date of this report) Two groups were invited to meet but did not respond or declined: BluWater Crossing and Poinsettia Station apartments.

City Manager’s Update newsletter Sent Jan. 20 to 9,636 contacts Connecting our community to the coast What if 60 acres of coastal land were suddenly available for your enjoyment? What would you want to do there? How would you design this space to make Carlsbad's coastline even more amazing? Believe it or not, we actually have this opportunity. When the city's General Plan was approved in 2015, it outlined guiding principles for the south Carlsbad coastline (from around Cannon Road south) and policies for redesigning Carlsbad Boulevard in this area. The long and the short of it is this • South Carlsbad Boulevard was built before we had 1-5_ • That's why it's a relatively wide, fast-moving road. • The General Plan calls for turning the three miles in the south into a ''coastal street" where people can slow down and enjoy the natural beauty of the area, in a car, on a bike or walking. By getting rid of the wide medians and moving southbound traffic to the east, about 60 acres of city owned land can be used for things the community would enjoy doing along the coast. To put this in perspective: • Our largest city park (Poinsettia Community Park) is 42 acres. • That popular park at Pine Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard is less than an acre. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to reimagine our coastline. Please answer some questions through this online survey and consider attending an upcoming workshop to share your ideas.

I would prefer we keep the openness and beauty of coastline available for all walkers, bikers, and drivers to see and view. Yes, on bathrooms (male, female, and family). Any shops or eateries should be minimal or preferably not at all. A park at Planning Area F of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan — Ponto Property. Keep all businesses OUT Please don't overdevelop this space. Adding more retail/services will only make it crowded and difficult to enjoy. No stores, there are plenty near by Park and nature spaces Please no commercial development in this area unless they are portable, like food trucks, coffee carts, etc. Nothing Commercial! We have enough of that elsewhere We have enough shops available to us. We are very short on undeveloped land along the coast. open space, parks OPEN SPACE Anything that was in the east side of the highway.

Knowing that walking is good for the body and soul, any of these, but only if sufficiently separated from the surfline. minimize commerce. Keep the space as open and natural as possible Don’t be an idiot Only small temporary vendors Leave the coastline like it is. Why’d you want to ruin it with shops?? More parking for beach access and widen the roads to 2 lanes ALL commercial to stay EAST of 101 development would ruin the beauty of the area Parks None of them None.

Just open with parking, toilets, benches and tables. Keep as it is today. No congestion. No commercial development. No services. Please don’t do these. Downtown carlsbad is lovely.

You can’t ever get the land back… bathrooms but no major shopping open space Openspace Some kind of food court set alongside the beach where you could sit with the family.

Pickleball courts Park, grass, trees open nature space not be overbuilt Don’t develop this area Please keep it simple and not overly commercialized! Please! A few causual eating places and a few conveniece shops. Please no fully stocked retail clothing stores, electronic stores, etc.The rule I would apply is as follows:" If any addition to the Beach/oceanfront property becomes, or likely to become, the primary motivation for drawing our residents to the coasast/beach..Don't do it!" Acupuncture NO "CHAIN" restaurants! If access is limited to bikes and pedestrians, none of the above. no shops, no breweries, no restaurants, no rentals, no services.

What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Little resting areas for people & pets No businesses I prefer to keep it free of commercial enterprises. Keep it just open, accessible space for runners, walkers, bikers. Temporary food trucks. NATURE CENTER/Wildlife information NOTHING should be added West of Carlsbad Blvd. Horse rental for riding on the sand. dont make this a commercial space, that will ruin it Benches and outdoor areas to view the ocean If you are definitely putting this stuff in, please put it on the far east side, retain the ocean view from the road, and keep most of it as outdoor community space, not mostly shops and stuff.

I'd prefer to keep it open Activities. There ar e shops and stores galore. The redundancy keeps the business turnover so high. Parks Don't go the commercial route that Encinitas took, by overbuliding and incongruous building choices. farmer's/flower market, outdoor arts Build elsewhere!! We don’t need establishments/shopping, etc. Consider building restaurants and shops in the vacant land located off Avenida Encinas, north of Palomar, next to the Porsche dealership. I don’t think there should be any of the above since it would have too much of an impact, require too much parking, spoil the natural character of the area. There are plenty commercial areas further north Something similar to Italian bars would be fabulous Only one of each! Structures that look like they belong at the beach, sort of a New England beach kind of theme. 7 miles of non retail. looks like property tax is the pint here. Don't commercialize the coastline, keep it wide open No commercial please! We don’t need any more of these “convenient” shops! Amusement park all ONLY IF ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE HWY!!

Although I might use them if they were there, I'd prefer to not attract non-surf spot traffic. No shops!!! Keep area natural as possible parks, bluff and ocean access Parks, Low income housing for seniors, beach car parking Leave it alone. There are plenty of all of the above! Playground similar to in Del Mar and Moonlight Beach. Leave it green and open space. No shops and restaurants Coffee Kiosk Are you kidding! What you're really angling for is to put restaurants and shops along this corridor. Absolutely not! That's what downtown Carlsbad is for. Stop trying to develop every last square inch of this city, especially along the coast. How in the world would more commercial property be better from an environmental standpoint. It would be really great if you would be more transparent about what the true intention of these surveys is. Dog park. Exercise areas. Kids park. keep as open/undeveloped as possible! walk along a boardwalk Live music/performance venues open space filled with native habitat None, leave that all as downtown where it belongs, thank you. The lack of development is what makes it so special today. No shops along proposed new park area I think there are plenty of clusters of restaurants and shops in Carlsbad Village and that extra shops and restaurants could spoil the beauty of the rest of the souther coastline Please keep this natural, don't build anything What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? more parking, but moved eastward, like the road Green open space to enjoy.

Please don't make it commercial, keep it green space. More parking and open park/walking space NO fancy restaurants open market events including farmer's markets Just nature, no business restroom flying dragon rentals F you. The hotel and CampStore offer these already. If more are added, then locate on east side of street only. Or in parking lot of the beach at La Costa. Very few one story casual restaurants None, no building. Leave nature alone. nature trails We don’t need any shops Farmers Market Paddleboards/kayaks A small area for outdoor concerts & plays Leave it the way it is. All of the options you list are already available within 1/2 mile of the coast. LEAVE Carlsbad Boulevard (Coast Hiway) ALONE. The openness and view are all we want. Public bonfires that could be reserved online located on the bluffs to enjoy bike repair What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? sitting areas with benches and tables to enjoy the ocean Please do not put anything there nature is enough. something like a Ruby's where you can dine in or food to go, but not a restaurant row.

Parking, walking trails more parking, although how much more is a problem, especially if you had a fine dining restaurant; see if West would like to be there! nothing. encinitas is a traffic nightmare. leave carlsbad alone Keep the area as natural as possible PLEASE none of these!! They are not compatible with this part of the coastline. None are needed, we have enough in the village, forum, etc open space None inland is for shops Do not build any shops or services.

Stop trying to further your political career at the expense of the vast majority of people who like it just how it is Breakfast spot No stores. Just make a park public bathroom Keep it an open space, don’t commercialize it and ruin it to satisfy political and business greed None. Don't turn this beautiful area into another retail nightmare. Leucadia can have that. I'd stongly prefer no development. Must we aspire turning our beaches into Venice Beach? Restroom and water fountain No tall buildings like in the village! No blocking the wind and sun, like the tall condos in carlsbad village are doing What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Good Cafes with pleasant outside seating (not concessions) i'd rather see nature than buildings, there is enough of that in other areas Leave it alone O businesses should be put there. This will hurt small businesses that are already there and bring more crowds we need a few more ocean view restaurants These things are there already Japanese food None of the above--keep more park-like and natural with little if any commercial use. Nothing. Keep it as it is Natural landscape or park like landscape No development, please. A tolerable mix of the above but not enough to cause congestion. Dedicated bike trail and separate walking trail. Benches, picnic tables Minimize retail and open area up to large park like environment Picnic areas. I do not like the idea of any kind of retail business As long as on the east side of 101, the above would ok.

Enough development! Dog Park swings, firepit, bathroom Privately owned cafe style restaurants that blend with the landscape - NO chain restaurants. No more shops or residential development. There are too many retail/restaurants already Small scale, locally owned, sustainable and interesting shops or cafes — not cheap tourist crud. Nothing -- leave the natural beauty as is. Keep it commercial free and walking/ pedestrian friendly NOTHING INLCUDING NO RESIDENTIAL Outdoor concert venue Those choices sound like clutter. We already have everything mentioned above. Let’s support the businesses that have braved the pandemic, not create more competition for them No need for more retail in that area - support the already existing retail in south Cbad.

The land should be maintained as open space This is already available in the village Fruit and vegetable markets; bakeries; small retail store Parking Adding more retail isn’t what carlsbad needs. This space is already beautiful and open. Adding reatail would take away from the beauty that is already there. Retail isn’t parks or public use areas. It’s retail. We don’t need to be able to grab sunscreen everywhere. We need open spaces to enjoy. We don’t need more shops and development additional oceanfront campspots, park space like Del Mar Maybe one or two restaurants/breweries, but don't fill the space with retail Outdoor recreation primarily Beach venues provide a place for both visitors and residents to meet and enjoy the ocean air. This is most often around times when people desire to eat, sit and talk. Not right along the coast. Slightly inland A spot for food trucks to park and serve people Anything with outdoor seating. No drinking Don’t make it crazy tacky and vendors everywhere it should be peaceful but still offer things like lattes or light food This is ALL for tourists and not for residents! Preferably food trucks - nothing permanent that has to be installed / allows nature it’s space back at the end of the day when we go home a park Venue for private events such as weddings, etc Nothing fancy, open air type places to enjoy picnic or eating outside with the views We have plenty of services available nearby. We do not need any more on our beautiful coastline.

Let's keep wine/beer downtown - the south beach area should be more kid-friendly and doesn't need to attract young adults. Lighthouse w/ Carlsbad history What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? We don't need any more shops, stores or restaurants along the coastline. Once it's built upon no one can get back the natural beauty and serenity the current layout offers. No restaurants please, simple things life are best Leave as is! Park area, walking and biking trails Moonlight life guard station Arcade game alley with bowling Rent paddle boards, body boards, etc Volleyball Please no expensive dining. There is enough expensive dining in Cardiff & Del Mar. Leave it alone shops are not needed I like the South Carlsbad (Ponto) beach the way it is. I am worried you will make changes and reduce beach parking. Better to leave it alone. none just want beaches Playground hiking trails- no concessions None, the area should be for open space Restrooms; public seating and picnic areas PLEASE no more breweries wineries. We have too many of them. Don’t want any more fancy unaffordable coastal restaurants some mom & pop or food trucks. Nothing big overtaking the beach. Please don't sell out. That Ponto Hotel is awful and out of place. They took our tiny little beach, for what??? Green space only!!! Mostly I like the beach natural No business are needed in this area as it would change the natural look Only clustered so not scattered all over Open park space to play with kids We don’t need more shops and restaurants there None. I would boycott any businesses that eliminate the beaches. Keep it open and pristine!!!!!! i think a public eating/picnic area would be nice! Informal food and beverage vendors like balboa park Souplantation Keep retail out! What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Something like mission bay beach club would be superb or a casual eatery where you could listen to sunset music and have a tropical drink like hotel dels beach bar. entertainment like an amphitheater Parks and trails with public rest rooms and filtered water from eco water bottle filling stations. Bike repair stands and air pumps, bike racks and lockers and lok Please leave the area concession/shop free! Don't add anything to the area, just preserve the space. Coffee shop nothing, there is enough development, don't ruin the beach Keep the beach natural and not commercialized permanent structure dedicated to free public skin cancer screenings skin cancer seaside dining Dear idiots, where would I park to access these things? I made choices above, however I’d prefer nothing as I don’t want ocean views restricted Keep it open land in its natural state - NO development! Casual beach bar with music and view - similar to old Sandbar at Tamarack Don’t ruin this beautiful scenery Leave open land Just make it a park with a good parking lot There are NO waterfront restaurants in carlsbad. Build one! Dog park why muck up a beautiful undeveloped space with any retail? There's plenty to the north and south. No retail! None. I don't want to see this happen. Stores are ready close by Leave undeveloped Do we have to pave over every inch of land? Let's protect this area. art galleries, art studios, surf school, dive shop This is a misleading question as the proposal above stated the land would be used for parks, running and such. I do not wish for this land to be developed on. This would be a disgrace to the beauty of the natural landscape. just open space. Natural. Nothing commercial. There's enough commercial in Leucadia and Encinintas. No shops, no retail. Nothing. Just nature and a bike lane for family No development in this area Open air dining, picnic areas Bathrooms would be nice. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT make it a big tourist trap!!! What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? We don’t need shops No shoplifts, let the space as natural as possible I would not want shops. Carlsbad should be a break from the business if other areas like metropolitan San Diego I’d love to ensure that the South Carlsbad state beach and campground are not impacted. This is a great gathering place for the local community. NO to building along the coast there Retail shops again this is horrible idea No more than there already is Volunteer escorts for elderly frail walker Dog beach Open air music and arts venue No shops. Open space. volleyball courts Parking Not too much retail or restaurants please We have enough of all of these leave it alone- no more crowding--keep it open I like open land. We don’t need more strip malls along our coast Would create more traffic There is no need for the above services in that zone. Farmers market Parking lot It should be focused on people enjoying the beach instead of making access to the coast more congested. Those just increase in and out traffic making it less safe for pedestrians and bikes. Consignment is like hunting for treasure. Live theatre, parking and places to see good art, design, beauty with gardens, fountains, trees see no chains or franchises, small businesses only and low profile to blend in with natural surroundings. Also maybe cabanas (like in coronado) or palapas and nice beach chairs to rent antiques and custom/one off/unique shops and crafts NOTHING No more retail! We have enough! No dense shops that obscure views centralized magnet items have a tendency to draw crowds to a centralized location, and again parking is not so good. De-centralize things. Minimal structures What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Please do not develop the land with buildings unless you are creating a homeless shelter. No business. Please don’t spoil it. Keep it open and natural. If you’re going to build buildings that match the coastal vibe. We can be better than moonlight beach Clean restrooms, food trucks Something similar to the campstore at the state beach nothing too large, maybe a place that local stores could rotate in and out of, like a pop up store I would not want to see shops in this area! Parks/vista outlooks w/public bathrooms and water fountains Limit the number of these amenities, don’t over develop Sailing rentals, SUP, e-FOIL, docks, small vessel rentals, kiteboarding etc Oppose any retail along the space Parks and natural coastline. Not shops and more development. Preserve the beauty Leave it blank so we can still see the ocean when driving Open w More trees and flowers Stop developing it! I'd like to see other art installations like Barrio glassworks in the village - not that, but something similar Hiking / running / biking trails. Open land Absolutely nothing. No shops or services in this area. Stop the development Bathrooms, better walkways and parking Nothing. Just a nice park None theres already to much clutter in carlabad I would like a natural coastline that is undeveloped with flourishing biodiversity All these amenities exist now. Please dont cram more retail in this beautiful unspoiled area. I really wish this would not turn into an overdeveloped area! There should be value in restoring native and natural areas along the coast. This land is not just for human enjoyment One small place to see the ocean and have all kinds of drinks-coffee, wine etc On north end of Carlsbad BLVD have something similar to The Campstore (in S Catksbad state campgrounds) Open space- that is our greatest treasure. Natural coastline, restore to dune state What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Natural coastline and naturally occurring flora and fauna None. Keep the space open EV chargers there already are plenty. Don't need more! Coffee Nothing otherwise it’s just going to turn into a homeless and crime infested area like Encinitas Bike shop No mire shops etc need to be built in this area A bus service to reduce parking congestion Dog parks Benches, telescopes, bike racks exercise stations for stretching change the speed limit also please Would love a salad/ sandwich place like Mendocino farms I thought you said it was for people walking and bicyclist. It’s all about money Local/farm to table restaurant Toilets Double sided restaurant row like in Brussels, Zurich and Florence. Restrooms none of these...less development .... keep this as a park and open space for families. Very limited dining and convenience store . Minimalist as far as structures. I don’t want anything blocking the beach view… if the store are on the otherside of 101 I won’t mind it Park None! DON'T commercialize it! None. No more shops. Leave it as is. Absolutely nothing Keep it natural, no development Bathrooms Nothing that would excessive noise, nuisances and alc related issues similar to Leucadia and Encinitas. A luxurious boutique hotel more level in access to beach No businesses built whatsoever What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? None please! Please don’t crowd this in crowded area!!! None we have plenty of restaurants and shops in Carlsbad camp sites None, I do not support developing this area i'd prefer it to be a more natural, unbuilt environment. there are plenty of other places to shop etc A limited number of rotating food trucks,nothing permanent> Leave it natural. Carlsbad is overbuilt now. Look what is happening in the village. provides community gathering places for all ages a GREAT IDEA for mixed use None! This is the last stretch of open space small boutique shop selling carlsbad artist made clothes and art. No shops. Just nature. parks None, keep it how it is OPen space, trails, etc. No buildings. bathrooms, parking Don’t think shops should be there A garden Nursery that incorporates a cafe and play area for kids, so parents can sit and relax while still being able to watch children and then shop for indigenous plants, or curios after a lovely breakfast? Food truck lot with plenty of tables and benches and clean bathrooms Remote control glider/airplane site Lots of open space TRAIL through native plants - the other stuff is already available elsewhere Please don't add any of the above we have enough of them already. please, please, please do not fill one of the last precious, unblobstructed coastlines we have with more SHOPS and RESTAURANTS. We do not need it at all. Restaurants, only two or less; preserve the space as is Open park land Undeveloped views public restrooms Just keep the view open to all Needs nothing, leave it open and as is. Adding stores, restaurants etc will bring alot of traffic, noise, light pollution at night etc etc Nothing. All of this is already in the village. Leave this space alone for god’s sake. You’ve already overdeveloped other parts of the city. Stop the greed. What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? plenty of parking and upscale retail shops we don't want to turn the coast line into a commercial zone, we don't want any of these businesses added to the coast Open air concert venue like Ojai, CA NO DEVELOPMENT!!! Restrooms More Bathrooms Nothing. Leave it alone I don't want any shops in this area Please not too many shops! Carlsbad blvd is beautiful because it’s not overly commercial! I would prefer a natural landscape Keep it natural None. Does not need to be built up and commercialized! High quality quick-grab foods. Kabobs, poke bowls, etc. Oh my gosh are you kidding me. Non of these nothing please let me repeat myself nothing. Leave it alone. You can’t improve on perfection. Pickleball courts UNADORNED by development, there is little left. I don’t want anything developed No shops. We have too many damn shops already. Why on earth would we need any of the options listed below.. leave so space free of commercialism!! For Gods sake, don’t continue to strip all of the natural beauty away from the coast We dont need more development right there. no food venders/cafes due to the traffic & the litter that they cause. Free public parking free parking with beach access restroom I don't think that stretch a beach needs any of those establishments. We can find that anywhere else in the coast of San Diego county. No chain restaurants or shops, local owners Food trucks Please no more shops and services Don’t change nature Dog Beach like Del Mar Beach access, trails for families What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? We have a million of all of the above!!! None Bike / walking path Nothing. The Ralphs shopping center is just down the road Hiking trsils bathrooms Food trucks PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANY SHOPS HERE!!!! None of the above. Can’t we keep nature in it’s almost original state. Money through sales taxes is not worth keeping what we still have left. Keep Carlsbad’s coastline untouched while we still can. Open, green, park-like public space without commercial development No shops no sales no dining This last pristine stretch of beach and grassland should be left the way it is and not cluttered with shops and developer-wanted buildings that residents DON't want food trucks I would build a sports field for the San Diego Legion rugby team which is actually based in Carlsbad. Think about it like Torrey Pines and the golf community. Keep it the way it is RESTROOMS Pier with dining and fishing Only a FEW indigenous plants. No trees, as they would block views. I would not like any commercial use of this property Small gathering space with music like camp store bathrooms, water bottle filling stations, no shops Please do not commercialize our beautiful and natural coastline. There are few places in Southern California where there are unobstructed views of the ocean. If you watch the local news, they present a lot of pictures of sunsets taken from Carlsbad because there are few other places where you can have a view of the land and sea without any buildings Nothing at all keep it natural more places like Camp Store None of thevsbovevWe have enough of that crap. Sorry Don’t put any shops, only park Open space Nice restrooms Small and family-owned businesses! What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? I'd rather not see this become commercial space. All of north Carlsbad has commercial space near the beach. Leave Store Free None of the above. We don’t need more restaurants or shopping on our precious coastal land Shaded picnic area. Benches with backs Tiki huts/ shade No shops or retail just nature Please DO NOT DEVELOP the area. Don’t turn into Oceanside! Carlsbad doesn’t need shops along this stretch of land. Privately run food stand like Buccaneer Neach NO RETAIL SHOPS!!! would totally ruin the beach vibe and quickly get out of control Several cafes and bakeries Parking As little as possible Leave it as us. Stop working to ruin this area. Boutique restaurants / no chains no additional services! none needed...plenty of services 3 blocks inland Doggie water station when dogs allowed Parking no shops or businesses EVER Access to park facilities Please DO NOT develop the coastline any further! Don't have the area too congested. We do not need anymore shops or services public bathroom although I would rather the entire area remain public open space with walking/hiking trails, perhaps some outdoor exercise equipment Green space I would use most of these but not located on Coast Hwy. They belong in the Poinsettia shopping center or near In & Out. Other than a cup of coffee we do NOT need more businesses along the coast. Most locals prefer a quiet day at the beach. Not one where we have to compete with traffic, visitors, shoppers. Let them go inland. Save the coast for locals. Pickleball courts What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Please don’t put retail on that beautiful land I'd love to see more habitat restoration, open space Minimize this to become a commercial space as that will attract too many people, trash and impact the environment Open Park space and running/walking/bike paths NONE! There doesn’t need to be anything there! Carlsbad is already filled with everything it needs. You DO NOT NEED to mess this beautiful stretch up by putting a bunch of shops in there! Please NO SHOPS; make the 60 acres a park Leave it alone no commercial, just green space with parks and walking trails I'd want these ONLY if the road is moved east and the main parcel remains parklike/natural Anything with outdoor seating and a nice view of the ocean We already have the Camp Store. Promote the Camp Store! Lots of benches Casual dining for sure ! No expensive fine dining please. picnic tables with ample covered trash cans bathroom facilities, shower to rinse after beach activities. Please protect our coastline from commercial development. I feel these should be grouped at one end so as not to spoil the open space along the rest of the park experience outdoor concert venue We need open space, not more shops. Recharge station for ebike Public restrooms and showers Please do not spend money to move the streets just to destroy the habitat and view with retail and dining!!!Terrible Dog beach food trucks Nothing but hidden parking and nature to enjoy Preserve the open space,leave natural habitat as is Park Restroom playground/equipment Coffee What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? At one time there was talk about a pier which would be a great community space Keep it low impact and simple! I would prefer to limit how many more commercial buildings go in and focus on making what’s there nicer. Preserve as much open space as possible, with only a couple shops any of the above but limit development We don’t need more development. There are plenty of places for people to go to spend their money. Small Coffee shop Rental powerchairs for handicapped people that could go on sand NO RETAIL!!!!! NO BUILDINGS!!!! Clean drinking water, bottle filler Pickleball courts, fire pits None- there are more than enough commercialization areas Nature center None. Please keep this a commercial free zone. NO DEVELOPMENT!! Restrooms only I would like park like setting only trails etc Rotating food trucks Green space I don’t want a Venice Beach or Mission Bay Stop developing nature. We have enough of ALL of the above in Carlsbad. Pickleball Board walk Restrooms Keep this area pure and innocent. The above items are going to destroy it! leave it open and wild for bicycles and surfers Taco bar CHEAP! No shops or food concessions - that makes like Venice Food trucks Please do not ruin the beauty and serenity of the current view areas.. put the above on east side of road or where views are less likely like where camp ground or houses are.,I love the drive down the ocean to see the view of the southern coast all the way to La Jolla Nothing on the ocean side; only on the East side Boba shop What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Parks and trails Mom & Pop type shops wider bike lanes, walking paths, natural beauty, don't make it commercial No retail desired Please no restaurants or bars or retail! Keep it minimal and focus on beach and open area. I DON’T want ANY retail in this prime area. Leave it for green/open space! We should preserve open spaces Coffee none, please no more buildings and shop, leave nature alone kiosks with light food free rental of horse shoe or racket ball...community.... kid-friendly beach/beach access like Moonlight S Boating access Please keep it as natural as possible. A simple food concession area is fine, but I'd hate to see Retail Shops, Breweries, etc. Moonlight beach is a good model. Leave it natural Please do not put any shops along Carlsbad boulevard NO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT Not really sure Coffee Shop or Coffee shops, donut store, and parks! keep it natural as a park NO commercial facilities Just leave it open space. We have built up Carlsbad enough already! I would rather not see commercial shops on the blvd Open space for walking light retail I am opposed to this. I like how there are currently no services would not want to see a lot of commercial activity Leave as open space No restaurants please—it will be more traffic and hard to park. The ocean view. What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Food truck areas but not big chain restaurants Less is more. There are plenty of shops elsewhere PLEASE NO DEVELOPMENT!!! With outside dining but casual & affordable so average citizen can afford. Not high end places, theres plenty elsewhere Keep it as natural as possible. Music venue Ongoing environmental lessons for both locals and tourists. It's crazy the stuff we witness on low tides. leave it as is Open space!!! Only a few things, to leave lots of open space Brunch/Coffee Shop None; keep it natural and beautiful. Maybe only shuttle stops to Carlsbad neighborhoods. but please, not a lot of touristy stuff. keep it open and not too commercial Parking must be removed to off site- with a shuttle that drives folks in for services. Like Crystal Cove in Newport Beach. No retail, we need food with an ocean view I would really like an area for an off-leash dog beach like they have in Del Mar Nature center Keep it natural. Don't want it to look and smell like Oceanside Harbor. Please leave it natural, it’s the best part of Carlsbad as is restrooms, parking, shade trees & grassy picnic areas We do not want a retail strip mucking up the coast!! I like the idea of having these services and opportunties available, particularly if one can park and then access all of these places within a compact, mixed-use setting. Please don’t put shops there. Make it natural open space Nothing. Why does our government think that as is is no good. If have to do something see what was done along the 101 entering Cardiff Park at Ponto restrooms, showers, drinking water A bring your own plaza, maybe food trucks could be brought it. Benches, plants, live music but bring your own or food trucks would prefer natural environment (not shops), although might be good if water were available ideally nothing to increase traffic Live music What shops and services would you use along south Carlsbad Boulevard if they were available? Hopefully it’s about nature not businesses prefer to see it remain open space Places that take advantage of the ocean view Gorgeous art museum Please don't ruin the coast with a lot of businesses Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A series of walkable, rideable paths end to end with places to stop in shady spots to escape the sun and heat. Doggie waste stations. Special parking lots dotted along the way out of direct site of the boardwalk. Access to the beach in numerous spots all along the corridor. Carribbean-like feel. A dog park. A fresh water swimming option with pay by the day scenario or maybe pay by the hour. Lots of shady spots with trees, umbrellas, pergolas, sunshades offering shade. Open bars for alcohol and non-alcohol drinks. Small snack stands such as Hawaiian shaved ice, Italian ice, hot pretzels, candied nuts, takeaway sushi bites, fried clams or calamari in cones - exotic street food in handy containers. Pizza by the slice. Lots of trash containers disguised as something else. A sand pit for creative people to build sand castle art (not for kids). Sea glass store / lessons. stone benches on the beach so ppl can put their toes in the sand without worrying about falling into the waves - available to everyone, possible wheelchair access ramp. An open space, beautiful art-themed park next to the ocean (think Park Guell in Barcelona). That could be enjoyed by the residents and attract tourists. Where else is there a beautiful, largely undeveloped open space park next to the ocean? Nowhere. It could be one of a kind and something to be enjoyed and appreciated for generations to come. Parks, open space, nature. Beautiful coastline still on full display with parks and walking paths in close proximity It would be great to see children playing in a park at Planning Area F of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan — Ponto Property. Open space, large boardwalk for pedestrians, wide bike lane. Minimal shops, fancy restaurants. quaint village of shops and eateries that are affordable and reflect our community. easy beach access and parking. clean facilities I see more traffic, more noise pollution, more smog pollution, more people disobeying the rules of the road while they’re on their bikes, more congestion, and loss of the peacefulness that exists now through the entire stretch of 101 that you’re speaking about. I see nothing good about it. Keep the parks away from the homes keep any new services away from the areas that have homes front in the road. I don’t like this idea it’s going to ruin our neighborhoods. Just natural trails with some picnic areas for families to sit and enjoy the ocean Unspoiled beauty like coast of Big Sur basically the same natural condition to enjoy this stretch of road the way it was meant to be. until ignorant humans came to town. larger safer lanes only It's open, relaxing, not crowded, easy access to beach, safe walking path w/benches to enjoy the view Open space with well-maintained bike paths and walking paths. Spaces to sit, with some options shaded by trees. Transit options to easily reach this area from a remote parking area or transit hub. Vast parkland with easy access to the beach with adequate FREE parking. The road has been moved inland, but there aren't a ton of tourists & traffic like in most other cities in southern California. Seeing the natural coastline as it is today with no changes I'd like it to be open, have bathrooms, be able to buy a drink, food or sunscreen and then just have area to play I see a nice wide bike path, walking trail off the Coast Highway. I see open space with perhaps benches and play equipment for younger children. A family friendly nature and exercise space. I would want to to feel the same, just safer and less crowded Bike paths that are separated from traffic by a permanent (concrete) barrier. Safe for families, children, older adults. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would see thriving native plants and migratory birds using the area. There would be walkways for people to enjoy the open space and areas for bicycles to safely ride. The beach would include dunes that are more natural, like the ones being conserved in Imperial Beach. A roadway that still exists. The current road is already right next to the bluff. It's gotta move inland. It would be great to see a natural estuary at Encinas Creek too. That the natural physical structure of the coast and the health of the beach had been prioritized. That the space is open and accessible to all. That it hasn’t become a gross consumer driven boardwalk - and that there is clean natural coast line to enjoy Sand at south Ponto is soft to play volleyball I see no change and I see the natural fields in tact. Leave the land how it is and allow the character of our beach town to be maintained. Stop developing open land for the sake of it. There’s value in having native plants and animals around. Vast open views of the beautiful coastline with parkland and walking and bike pathways in the west side of the highway. All services, parking, on the east side of the highway. I see an area that still has a nice flow with car access to the East, I see lot's of biking and walking N/to South along the coast. I see Ponto changing to a World Class beach area. Wider sand area, way better parking, a strand you can walk along the east to really use and spread out the use of the S. Ponto beach area. and a couple restaurants/ outdoor dining and hang out overlooking the pacific. maybe a Dukes type of restaurant that's just Always Busy and Fun. clean, spread out, but simple and true to Carlsbad A long, sprawling park like the greenbelt in Scottsdale. Separate paths for bikers, joggers and roller bladers. Large open grassy areas that can accommodate concerts in the park and lots of family friendly recreation. Would like to see it in its natural state. No development. No stores, no pavement, no playgrounds, no paved paths, no hotels or structures, no payment required to park and access. We like it the way it is. open space, with lots of beach access and views Safer walking & biking route I see easy access for bikers, walkers, and cars with plenty of no cost parking, like the open on Ponto road made into a free parking lot. A few shops and restaurants, but too many. Please keep it undeveloped open space without retail or residential so all can access and enjoy Exactly as it is today! Our coast is what draws people to Carlsbad. Not the numerous retail shops that can be found anywhere in the US. Carlsbad coast line is unique. It is our responsibility to keep it this way for further generations to experience. Please leave this space alone. Focus on moving the homeless out of downtown, out of the parks, out of the shopping centers and out of the intersections. Please see the beauty in what our community already has while improving in the areas of sanitation left behind from the homeless and those who don’t truly care about their environment. A destination beach area where it's easy to meet friends and congregate, with services and restrooms (similar to Moonlight Beach.) A safe and pleasant walking path like North Carlsbad. A small well-planned area of restaurants, bars, and parks that provide locals to entertain their families and visitors. Open space preserved with no development, but more park like and a bike trail. Wider beaches with fewer rocks, more parking, lack of commerce, people with portable wood fire pits like on San Diego beaches. Beach access with plenty of parking, no dogs, fire pits, and a place to eat lunch and get ice cream. The Carlsbad southern coastline land has NOT been graded or improved; the land has been left in a natural state of open space. More public access. No overdevelopment Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would see lots of people outside enjoying the ocean air. I would see great bike paths being used and fun local eateries. beautiful park, easy parking, place to hang out and enjoy the fresh air. NOT COMMERCIAL ZONE. open green space, trees and grass NO buildings and commercial properties and NO hotels and condenced housing Hiking, dog walking, and bicycle paths; limited number of food and drink vendors; clean, noncrowded beaches; a dog beach; a local art showcase. I am generally pro-development (especially housing)- but I would like to see this area of coastline maintain a natural feel and protected feel. I think the San Elijo Lagoon has done a good job of this- where there are walking trails and paths, but the natural beauty of the water is preserved. Parking along this stretch is limited. Instead of adding more parking that encourages vehicles- I'd love to see more connections for pedestrians and cyclists- protected paths and bike lanes. If parking has to be added, it should be off of the coast and near the train tracks and easy pedestrian connection. See clean beaches and walkways I see open spaces It would look like it looks today Clean, safe beaches and walkways; places for families to gather, picnic; not huge crowds! lots of areas to sit and look at the ocean; easy to bike to; ample parking too, but not like a cement desert; nice, casual places to grab a bite or a drink with views of ocean--there aren't enough of those in Carlsbad. Groups of families, friends, and singles openly enjoying the parks and beach with minimal retail development (no housing/commercial). I'd see full volleyball and tennis courts. I'd see people making memories eating ice cream and enjoying the beach/parks. Still not overdeveloped - open land and access to see the ocean (vs only homes). I see it exactly as it is today. It would essentially be the way it is. I do not want it to change. You will be directing more traffic to the freeway and removing access to many of the businesses along Carlsbad blvd. I see a natural open space where family and friends connect and enjoy. not much development, just a wide open beach and cliff that blends in with surroundings and a gravel path for walking and biking. Mostly natural habitat where people are enjoying the outdoors and watching sunset. Kind of like sunset cliff and natural sunset cliffs park. there are benches, but no grass.. people don't need much services to enjoy the view. Less concrete, quieter, more safe for biking and running, and cute stops for food, drinks along it Leave it natural, keep the parking free and don't overdevelop it. Why not just leave it alone? Restaurants and shops interconnected with bike trails for day and night enjoyment I think there is too much congestion in Cbad already and adding businesses is unwise to the coastal aesthetics. Lets leave it to a natural state. Still access to beach area for walking the beach and visiting the campground at S. C'bad State Beach. very beach like experience without lots of cars and worry about parking/traffic Easy access to beach area with more parking during the peak times. We need open space by the beach. It would look very much like it does today. Change for the sake of change is wasteful and often more damaging than leaving things alone. I’d like the walkway from Tamarack area to be extended south with grass, walkways, showers, bathrooms, and parking along the coast. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Parks, greenspaces, trails, better access to the beach Looks as it does today It wouldn’t change much. Just add a few seating, park areas for viewing the ocean and beach. An area with paths and road that are closed to cars so that runners, walkers, cyclists and other recreational sports can do so without the threat of accidents from cars that are speeding down the highway. This would change Carlsbad in SUCH a positive way! NO CHANGES PLEASE I would hope it would be known as one of the last undeveloped areas known for its wildlife, native vegetation and access to the beach & ocean. Known for its natural beauty. Leave Carlsbad coastline as it is. It would be like any other city if you changed it into more retail, more restaurants and adding more pollution etc., you take away an important component of why the coastline. Carlsbad coastline specifically is special and how the peacefulness of the coastline improves the quality of life for people, reduces stress, offers a sense of appreciation for Mother Nature. that it is exactly the same with no added development or impediments to view and access Beach parking. Good trails. Rocks removed from beach Open space, natural coastline no development Protect natural environment You would feel like your connected to the beach with open views but you would have easy access, people of all ages would enjoy the peacefulness and tranquility of the ocean Honestly I think it's perfect just as it is, but perhaps more places for parking would be nice. the roadway would look the same, but would have some retail outlets that would provide retail items to accommodate people's use of the beach - there would also be good clean sanitary restrooms and showers for the public to use along with beach rental items No people or cars.....just the sounds of the ocean and nature. No change Just the beach. Leave it the way it is. I can find all those things inland This is the only area I can find sand and salt water This is a DUMBASS question, it's normally called " gaslighting" this has NO bearing on your original question! strategic parking with more walking paths and benches. picnic tables, Covered cables, minimal bike paths Easy access to the water and lively community with a village feel. A more pedestrian and bike friendly area Safe, natural walking, biking paths. Natural vegetation. unobstructed views of the coast! we do not need more shops/restaurants. Easy access by trolly from parking a few blocks from beach so there is no car exhaust. Public bathrooms with attendants so they are fresh and clean at all times. No more dog free running dogs or poop. Just a really pleasant place to enjoy the ocean with plenty of space to set up my easel & paint. Shaded clean seating - no dogs on tables. No changes. Just the same beautiful natural coastline without buildings and extra stuff to increase traffic in the area and ruin the unobstructed views. Lots of open vistas and few cars so I can walk and bike along the coastline. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Undeveloped beach areas—unlike avila marea Rustic the way it is. It's all about the ocean. The old road is still here, maybe resurfaced. Beach access is still easy. no more development, esp shops, hotels, apartments, houses Ocean views, parks, walk/run paths Having most of it returned to a more natural state(of course adding paths for walking or biking) but add back native plants and water source so we can enjoy and share the land with nature Open space, roads not crowed with cars and respect to our environment by not changing it. Plenty of sand, plenty of open view, plenty of people. Turning gaze away from the surf-line, room for vehicles. Paths leading from vehicles to sand and surf. Nothing has changed. Just a beautiful beach to view as I cruise down. Same way it is today. Stop building stuff. Keep carlsbad the same. Commercialization takes away the beautiful ocean and beaches from the community Exactly what I see today. There is enough development in Carlsbad Village. Retail, restaurants, hotels, etc will not make the southcoast better, just more clutttered & commercial. I see it the way that it is- beautiful coastline Just like it is now Vast recreational open space that connects with the ocean. Bike lanes. Walking trails. Parks. Subordinate or eliminate cars and commercial establishments. I do not agree with this proposal. I would like to see the space where the powerplant is now be converted into park. we do not need more shops, retail or commercial development. the coastline is beautiful as it is. I do not see that there is space to simply move the southbound lanes without shrinking the lanes which would slow traffic. We need to please stop further development. I experience a great place for community building. Lots of open space with a few breweries and casual eats that I can go to with my friends after we play pickleball, volleyball or ride our bikes. The same as today 🤩 able to enjoy the beach without a freeway next to it A natural looking landscape. Open views and vistas. A great "family feel" where people felt safe and welcome. Very little traffic noise. No commercial development. I live here, fuck off tourists No buildings other than restrooms It looks exactly like it does now There are enough shops, restaurants, and tourist areas in north county. We do not need more development along the coastline affecting the ocean, marine life, protected habitats, beaches, and the local community. The only thing different that would enhance the coastline is a separate walking/biking path, made of natural resources. Prop up the cliffs and it’ll still be there. A lovely natural coastline Restored wetlands and native plants with walking trails and a picnic area. Sand on the beach and clean ocean water. People walking and biking safely with limited car traffic Open space and parkland Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: If it is really improved, then make sure you don't exacerbate the road congestion by removing roads and not replacing with another way through. otherwise all the amenities just leads to headaches. make sure you have enough ways to go there and enough parking. Make sure trees are planted along the road. Do not take away roads without replacing them. Period!!! Still very beautiful, used by the community a lot - not excessive traffic, lots of walking areas Keep it open space. NO MORE DEVELOPMENT along coastlines. Stop messing up our spaces for walking, biking, etc I see it as it is now. No hotels and no restaurants. No commercialization. Natural. Separate walking & bike paths with benches . Parking for vehicles We’ve lived here for 38 years and the change in our city is sad. The Airbnbs have turned our neighborhoods into loud crowded party zones with no respect for the homeowners who have lived here for years and pay the taxes. All done without the permission of the people. That’s why everyone is selling and moving away. Wr can’t even go to a restaurant in our own city anymore. Not to mention the 4 story buildings taking over our neighborhoods and making it more crowded. Shame on you for only thinking about money at the expense of our beautiful village. All new Restaurants, shops, mixed use to be east of 101. All reclaimed land west of 101 lanes to be open spaces; park, gathering, landscaped. Open space with walking and bike paths, campgrounds, small winery/brewery, public bathroom and showers Nothing... I would be stunned that there were leadership in the past, who could not be bought and bartered with to sell the last green space for short term profit. I would be greatful that 20 years ago, someone protected as a natural space for future generations. exactly the way it is now The same it is now. Keep the coastline clean of more buildings it doesn’t need. San Diego is a giant tourist attraction as is, it doesn’t need hotels blocking ocean views I would like to see a lot of palm trees and nice landscaping with parks People walking, surfing, sunset watching, beachcombing, & cycling exactly as they have for generations. It's not broken, nothing to fix. I want it to remain pristine, just as it is. A nice natural hiking trail Scenic views, family environment, biking lanes, surfers walking safely, slower traffic, less noise, clean environment for nature walks It would be exactly how it is today. Open and unobstructed views. Designated open space nature preserve. Walking trails and informative maps with information on sea and wildlife. Open space A safe path to bike, run or walk, but still allow for vehicle parking Safe roads for drivers and pedestrians. Clean restrooms. No restaurants no hotels Natural open space with unobstructed ocean views. I see it a piece of California that you can keep your eyes open take in the scenery the smells and imagine that hundreds or more years ago people were enjoying that moment. Being able to walk down stairs straight to the beach and sit and admire the ocean. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would love if it was just as it is!! I would like for it to stay non developed. Leave the coastline natural. I think it would look a lot like most of the other coastal towns in the area. It would be fun to walk around and have more space but I would be sad that Carlsbad wouldn’t be anything different from the other cities and that the views driving down the 101 or the 5 would never be the same. if I wanted an option like moonlight I could go to moonlight, but there wouldn’t be any options like Carlsbad currently is now. The main thing I would like to see is the flooding better controlled as well as sand erosion onto PCH/south Carlsbad rd. These things create traffic Nothing Open areas, nice public beach administered by SD county or City of Carlsbad, maybe even a state park. Beach access, historical markers and education. Open views of ocean, walking paths, open space Exactly the way it is today!!! Untouched coastline. We don’t need any more “stuff”. I would be disappointed that this area had been built on! It is one of the few spots left with NATURAL beauty. Please don't ruin it, and PLEASE - NO HOTELS. I looks same as it was in 2022. I’m glad some shithead townie politician didn’t fuck this up. Openness calmness the beautiful blue see a few benches and a pathway Tons of native plants and animals allowed to grow undisturbed I see it being what it is now. Less people, less shops, less homes, more open fields, no business, the opposite of Encinitas and Orange County. Less homeless. A great bike path with parks along the way and scenic views If it’s been “improved” by leaving the coast alone I’ll the happy that it can still be experienced as a beautiful, natural environment It's still a natural and unspoilt road with beautiful views of the ocean. It's the exact same as it was when I and my parents were kids. Leave Carlsbad alone! Carlsbad is looking more ugly as you city council members keep allowing developers to build ugly developments, hotels, and buildings. For example, the new hotel on the 101 and La Costa Ave (used to be a restaurant) is a total eyesore!!! I would like it to be left alone and all developments have stopped. We shouldn’t be building next to the coast like that Largely undeveloped public space. Reduced speed limit. dining with ocean views parks with ocean views The only thing I would like to see is a walking trail that is safe for pedestrians along the coast Unobstructed ocean views. Protected bike and walking lanes. Family vibe. Open natural space, more parking and bathrooms Exactly the same as it is right now. Open spaces, bike lanes, easy access to beach, less traffic unharmed natural coastline Beautiful unobstructed coastline view. Family, oceans, recreation, safe biking. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: We need open spaces. No more hotels, no more restaurants, no more subdivisions! Really….stop paving over paradise for the 1% I see it like it is or was years ago before all the construction and over building occurred. Stop thinking that more is better. Leave things alone! I'd cry from the destruction created by our city's interference. Leave the coast alone! None. Keep it the same Organic pathways and meandering trails, NO, I repeat NO large buildings, hotels, shopping centers, restaraunts etc Nothing much changed Reduced speed. 35 or 25. Oceanside to Encinitas 25 mph would be great. In a hurry take the freeway or el Camino. Leave it as wild looking as possible! It is beautiful. It is our Big Sur! The older pars are the best parts! Open space nice wide bije lanes organized parking Naturally preserved with just a couple extra perks than now noted above in my options picked Place where you can park, have a walkway, beach access. It would be exactly the way it is right now. No new buildings, more open space and less traffic Leave it as open space! I see it natural the way it is. No shops no more homes no businesses just a peaceful drive Leave as is! Unobstructed view of the horizon. Safer parking. Easy access to the beach below the Bluffs. It Is not excessively developed for corporate interests like Oceanside Untouched coastline views Open space don’t change a thing. There’s enough changes going on in the village. I would love walking along a pathway enjoying the ocean. Having benches and other seating around would be wonderful. If the Coastal Commission would approve it, multiple staircases down to the beach would be ideal and hopefully keep people from climbing down the cliff and eventually destroying the cliff. It should remain pristine and undeveloped. There isn’t enough of that in north county. more nature, bike paths, less businesses and apartments, less homeless people on the streets I smell the fresh salt air un ubstructed. The views are green grass with paths for walking. I hear the ocean waves crashing and the birds flying over head. I can ignore the stresses of building and restraunts and noise and enjoy the beautiful coasal advantages Carlsbad has. As tourist leave there stress for something unique, not more of the same business and busyness I'd see views of the coast and ocean unabstructed by huge hotels, resorts, and shopping centers. There would be planty of places to pull over to watch the sunset and waves. I'd see our town's natural beauty, the reason we all live here in the first place. It remains unspoilt and as natural as it is now..it stands out from all the other cities nearby for being different with great views and good accessibility. There is more safe space for walkers and the speed limit has been reduced to 35mph. Parking/meet up areas remain unrestricted (without fees). Anyone who wants food, drink or to go shopping can easily access those things in the surrounding area, not on this stretch of coast. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Absolutely NO hotels or businesses. Any type of construction would be an absolute tragedy. The best part of that area is its wilderness feel. I would be outraged and incredibly upset to see any type of construction happen in this area. Ideally it will feel like untouched nature. Public parking, open space and unobstructed ocean views Open beach,no development Uncrowded beach no hotels No hotels and no restaurants obstructing our beautiful coastline Able to drive the coastline like it is now Open space in its natural terrain with walking trails and biking paths. Beautiful views of the ocean and free public access to the beach. Exactly as it is now A nice stretch of unaltered coastline that is a breath of fresh air compared to the other commercialized stretches of beach. I'd like to be proud that Carlsbad citizens stood up and said "No" when a greedy few wanted to overdelvelop a beautiful area that didn't need "fixing." No hotels or restaurants or any building s for that matter. A beautiful open space free of traffic and shopping. The village is already where people can go. Leave So Carlsbad alone from retail development I don’t want it changed. This is not Orange County. We don’t need to fill up every space cloaked in “making in better.” No change. Stop building everything. The beauty of South Carlsbad is that it is not built up along the coast! no hotel, no restaurants, no homes or condo's. No building. A big park that is tourist friendly would be best. No restaurants, no public buildings. Yes-parkland - natural. I would like to see native plants and animals thriving. Maybe the occasional bench and garbage bins for people to use while they enjoy the beautiful green space that has been left alone to thrive. It would look the same More parks and open spaces. UNIMPROVED. leave nature alone. I’d rather have it be all beach and nature. The incredible coastline view free from overdevelopment and accessible to residents with expanded parking integrated into greenspace design. no changes a walking path, free from businesses and commercial clutter. Senior citizens, young families, joggers of all sorts enjoying the ocean view as they move along the walking path. Dogs on leashes, no trash, no businesses selling takeaway food. I wouldnt want to see drastic changes, just a few small enhancements to bring out the best of the natural space. I dont want to see it turn into a shopping mall with retail stores and convenience stores. But, it would be nice to build a community park that includes a playground, a dog park, and a dog beach. I imagine that whole space to be a car-free zone, with EV charging stations, bike-only lanes, and pedestrian-only lanes. It would be nice to have a cafe or two nearby to grab coffee for a morning walk or sandwiches for a sunset picnic! Hotel, shopping, bike path, restaurant, tiki bar Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I see a rare view down the California coast next to the city... a natural coastline with minimal development reminding visitors the beauty of what it looked like before development Basically no change, other than maybe better pedestrian paths and *separate* bike paths. bikers, joggers, walkers on boardwalk while others are stopping for ice cream. Umbrellas and swimmers on the beach. Open restaurant with outside patio facing the ocean. Music playing for the public, under cover p i and security also walking for safety, free public parking lot not far from boardwalk and specialty shops only I would go there often, relax, enjoy fun times with family and friends, enhancing our lifestyle. natural restoration with limited vehicle traffic/parking to enable more utilization of the beach environment Less people. Walking areas. Biking areas. NO SHOPS. Please do not turn this area into Pacific Beach or Venice Beach. TACKY Similar to Laguna Beach with parks, walking trails and restaurants. Just not as over done. Still have open space but sprinkle these in without overcrowding. A place where the community gathers to exercise, to relax, to appreciate the beauty of nature. No hotels, no visitor use commercial. A nice coastal drive with ocean views, parking for beach access, and good bike lanes. Preserving the natural coastal landscape is key to maintaining the experience of Carlsbad. Protected bike path, wide sidewalks, opportunities to sit and enjoy coffee, cocktails or snacks with ocean views. Plenty of places to park and beach access No changes except for easier access (see more free parking comment). Carlsbad has already destroyed the Village with sell-outs to developers. Please stop it. it looks like Del Mar beach Nothing has changed. Open land with great views. Beautiful! In twenty years, this section of Carlsbad might well be one of the few remaining open beaches in Southern CA that hasn't been developed with private homes or commercial purposes. The City of Carlsbad should preserve this for future generations to enjoy. I see the clean area that feels like it's been the same for years. I am NOT visiting. I live here and want to see the natural beauty maintained. There are no obstructions to the view. It still looks rugged and gorgeous. A last bastian to the remaining coastline. Maybe there are walking and biking trails, shaded areas for people to enjoy the view. No hotels or commerce, we have that elsewhere in Carlsbad. Once you expand you will lose the vibrancy of our current village. It would be preserved exactly how it is now. Just as the people 20 years ago did for us. Do not ruin our coastline just to line the pockets of developers from LA, Bay Area, and internationally. Stop trying to ruin what makes Carlsbad beautiful. Trust me, it's not a playground or park. It's the coastline how it is now. Not a Coach store or ice cream shop. Leave it alone and stop it. A low-key park-like landscape where people could picnic and enjoy the coastal view. No retail space, no restaurants, no businesses--just picnic tables, seating and space for individuals and families to go to enjoy this beautiful ocean of ours and unwind. A place that leaves the coastline mostly unfettered, where local families and residents can enjoy the landscape. Not a place for tourists. I would like the area to stay the same as it is now. We have plenty of shops, breweries etc in other areas. Improved as staying as is. There won't be anything left of our coast unless we save this shoreline NOW. It looks like the California coast before the 1940s. Parking, people surfing, hiking, biking, open space. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: open beach land with a few low rise concessions in two locations, one to the north, one to the south. No need to improve. Leave as is I see runners and cyclists NOT sharing a single lane, cars can park without worrying about hitting runners/cyclist, a beautiful grassy area with some shade and play area for young children. I see open land destroyed and concrete replacing nature Enjoyable because it is not cluttered with shops, stores and junky retail. Keep it open and natural. Enjoy the views. You can buy sunscreen and soda elsewhere. Pristinely natural as can be and not another paved over retail, restaurant filled, over crowded mess. Keep some things as is is not always a bad thing, there are plenty of choices all over this town easy to get to. Let's remember those who live daily lives here. All towns have their challenges, lets simplify for a change. Studies don't always end up the intended results they try to provide to the true residents, but natural beauty well cared for never disappoints me! Public parks above the beaches, with NO commercial development. Moving Carlsbad Boulevard east to make room for this is a good idea. What I saw in the Sixties I would hope it wasn't spoiled with over ambitious development Pristine beaches. Happy Carlsbad residents enjoying the environment. Open space, walkable, green, beautiful. Beautiful natural coastline with wide walking paths that connect downtown Carlsbad and Laucadia. No stores, no shops, no development. Just ocean views and breezes No development, no shopping, no housing I’m just enjoying a nice drive on the coast with an ocean view Additional parking, unobstructed views, bike lanes and walking paths (seperate) Leaving it the same as now How nice that they didn’t put buildings all over it. Exactly what we see and enjoy now Not cluttered and obstructed with giant hotels! more beautiful areas to see the ocean and enjoy its beauty New MODERN architecture( nobody likes the new building on Carlsbad village drive right next to the freeway, the colors and architecture look like it’s been there for 30 hrs) beautiful outdoor dining, rooftop dinning/bars. Great landscaping to meet friends and enjoy a drink/coffee/bite to eat, great date night spot to enjoy the view! Low traffic, uncontested beaches, small-town vibes, proud to detest overdevelopment a beautiful coastline with a soft natural appearances easy to walk and bike, a break from the very high congestion that surrounds this unique area open space to walk/hike and picnic the same as it is today Open space, view of ocean, no traffic. Ocean breeze. Friends and families relaxing, spending good quality time together. Beach activities (vlyball, horseshoes, smash ball, bag toss, surfing etc It feels exactly like it does today! Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I see the beach and ocean only, not businesses or homes! If you leave it alone and do not change, I would like but if it’s changed I wouldn’t like! Lots of open public free space!!! No retail shops or hotels taking over! Nature is beautiful and should be protected over retail shops and hotels. If you leave it alone, that is what I would like No more building or development. I wish it was left alone. All of the rest of Carlsbad is being developed into structures and harm the native wildlife and natural landscape. Ocean views free from commercial, residential obstruction It’s still the same more family friendly, convenient, more relaxing in shades Nothing would change. Open space. Parks. Natural coastline plants, hills, bluffs. It would NOT look like Orange County. So sad what is happening to our city an how our "official" are selling it and us out! Open, undeveloped coastline “Improved” you have to be kidding. Keep it how it is. More parkland Easy to park access to coast, and amenities. Natural beauty of coastline with minimally changed to add natural looking spaces to picnic and dolphin watch. Safe bike lane too I like it as it is. If you must move the road to the east, then a bird sanctuary would be nice. an area combining nature and conveniences…. maybe a nice beachfront restaurant or brewery that incorporates its natural surroundings…. areas to bring dogs and kids….. running paths….. ice cream stands….. make it a beach/boardwalk atmosphere It would be the same undeveloped coastline with better pedestrian access and walking paths Maintain its rare and highly admired open space and ease of access for local residents. Add minor upgrades mentioned earlier (safe walking path, clean public restrooms, a coffee or ice cream cart/kiosk or two, tent on sand with minimal beach gear/toy rentals) A beautiful people friendly space that is not congested with tourist shops and/or restaurants. Pristine open spaces, easy access to the beach, no new buildings, zero hotels, no commercial presence at all. Less cars. Less people. Less pollution. More nature. Just like it is now!! No development at all. Protected open space with open unobstructed views Available parking and access to the beach. Public restrooms. Park area. There is no new hotels, just couplel of casual restaurants, 1 coffee shop and 1 brewery. There is a community area with lots of sitting area with movable umbrellas and at the end a big flat square for community work out classes. You get a discount for being a local and some sitting areas are only for locals. I love it the way it is today and I wish it stays that way in the next 29 years. I like the fact that it is not super busy and I can take a walk and relax without crowds around me Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Nice bike and walking paths with ocean views Leave it alone! At lot like today Unspoiled coastline The pavement would be smooth and maybe some benches to relax, but no structures. A beautiful exercise and family gathering space that does not requiring spending any money. I wouldn't more traffic, more pollution, more people destroying what is left of the coastline Relaxing, peaceful coastal space. An escape from any chaos or city. Something that makes you leave with a magical feeling and healing experience. Similar to Heisler park in laguna. Nice green space with walking paths, picnic areas, benches to sit and enjoy ocean views. Clean public restrooms. Nice place to take a family picnic. Beautiful undeveloped land with a walking path along the coast and maybe a bike path. A trail along the bluffs from terra mar to ponto for walkers and runners, a park for kids to play, and occasional spots for drinks and dinning on the inland side that don't crowd the beaches Open natural place to walk areas to walk, along with restaurants and playgrounds and convenience near the beach. Moonlight beach in Encinitas is awesome! Less traffic, no more stupid red arrows in non busy streets, no more construction. Good luck! When I drive south from downtown Carlsbad to LaCosta Ave, I would like to be able and stop at a restaurant or wine tasting room with ocean view and relax (and watch the sunset) Well I live just opposite it. It should be safe and pedestrianized. Without shops or restaurants or homes (we have enough of these close by no more please!). Even pavements, not dirt. Bike paths and walking paths separated so you are not taking your life in your hands when you walk. Maximum speed set. Coastal landscape - well maintained. Like Cardiff trail. the natural beauty has been preserved while allowing more public access The ocean views and access continue to be open to all. No retail along this section of PCH - preserved the open space for recreation activity. Don't want to turn this area into Encinitas/Leucadia. I hope it's the same as it is today. No development. Enjoy the same beauty and environment just like it was 20 years ago. I don't want to become Del Mar, Solana Beach, or Encinitas. Those towns have been ruined. A beautiful coastal community that is friendly, fun, and offers easy access to the beach. The area is clean and family oriented with wonderful walking paths and occassional convientient stores that are well integrated and non imposing to the natural beauty and view of the coast line. As a resident of the the area, I would like the city to pay attention to the traffic flow and the impact to the local community. The improvements should not create traffic bottlenecks that negatively impacts the freedom of movement that we have in the area. I'd like to see fewer cars. A disappointment as my memories of the unchanging beach has been removed for money making businesses. Leave it alone. view of ocean and more beach access It would be wonderful if a person could start in the village and safely walk/bike/skate all the way to La Costa avenue along the beach, with grassy areas and playgrounds. Something like Mission Bay. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Outdoor spaces to enjoy/relax. spacious and not crowded feeling. dog friendly, plenty of shade and ocean views. outdoor dining options. maybe small boutiques protected, easily available for anyone to walk and ride bikes safely. fewer cars or at least less noise pollution and cars driving slower. A safe pathway for walking on the west side (similar to the stretch in Cardiff, along San Elijo). Multiple choices for dining (casual, take out, neighborhood bar, etc.) along the east side of the road. less noise/no traffic, more green The road has shifted but it feels the same as it is was in 2022. The City of Carlsbad didn't allow a precious bit of California coastline to be ruined by filling it with consumer junk I could go right up the street to the Ralphs center, to downtown Carlsbad or up the hill to Bressi to see/buy/dine. Regulate RV parking and enforce laws preventing homeless from living in the parks on the coast . Increase safety. This plan will not work if there are no laws in place to prevent it becoming one massive homeless encampment. We don’t need more shops, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, car dealerships. We need to keep this exactly as it is; a natural drive along the coast with no visual impediments. An overall much better balance of modern conveniences and nature. No more paved roads to nowhere like the old tarmac between Carlsbad Blvd south and the campground. No more ugly park maintenance buildings blocking the ocean view like at Avenida Encinas. Low profile, well placed, and easily accessible restroom facilities. Planned roadway and parking areas away from the beach and beach cliffs. An electric shuttle vehicle fleet servicing parking to/fro beach access. Bicycle repair stations along the dedicated bike path. Wide concrete path with landscaping and areas for groups to gather. The path would connect areas with casual dining or local shops. Just the way it is today It would be full of natural places for people to gather and be outside. Keep the shopping/food environment in downtown CBad. That place needs the help. The waterfront in Santa Barbara is the most ideal. Places to bike ride. Picnic. Relax..... Don't ruin our beautiful Carlsad coastline by cluttering it with more shops, etc.Which will only create more traffic!! I see open views of the coastline and natural habitat. Parking for Beach access and to experience the beautiful ocean views. I see a little bit of the old Carlsbad along the 101. The rustic dirt shoulder that you can safely park in, the wonderful smell of camp fires along the campsites and people enjoying walking/biking without the rush of commuter cars and loud engines. Wow, not full of shops, restaurants, breweries, etc. You can actually see the landscape. What a concept! Keeping shops on the eastern side of the 101 in order to still enjoy the view from the road Super clean and well thought park. I see friendly trails, areas where people can sit and enjoy the view, picnic areas (with umbrellas), more restrooms along the trail depending on length. Carlsbad has and is doing a GREAT job, as a steward of a really beautiful part of Southern California. We LOVE the patient and slow transition to change. So ...no change in twenty (20) years would be a beautiful thing, in preserving this amazing portion of Coastal Carlsbad A nicely maintained open air area that facilitates enjoyment of the beach, exercise, and the SoCal weather. Little development, open space safe bike path into the village. at least one parking lot with a bathroom No opinion Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A relaxing coastal beach with little shops. I like to see Carlsbad retain its little town feel. It stays as natural as possible supporting the wildlife in the very best way. Unobtrusive trails for walking and biking. a significant and recognizable greenbelt for recreation and preservation that supports Carlsbad's commitment to capping land use. It would stay the same i would like it to look pretty similar to how it is now - still has beach town energy, not too touristy, and with lots of open space behind the roads. it feels natural right now, and i want that to maintain Walking trail far from cars with trees on each side of trail. Half way next to trail a few places to buy a quick snack with tables to sit and eat. Be able to hear the ocean. No bikes on walking trail. Relaxed place to hang out and enjoy some time with family and kids. A long, linear park with minimal hardscape improvements that is buffered from vehicles. Places to stop, rest, gather, etc. Don’t want improvements. Don’t want more buildings Ecological Preserve A safe, off the highway, bike and walking path. Walking area off the road. A dog beach and responsible dog owners with their dogs on leash walking picking up after their dogs. And fines for those not!!! To pay for all of this. There would be a ton of money coming in and the bad owners gone! It would be great to be able to safely ride my bikes with my family grab lunch and play in the water then ride back to a car parking location. Even go for a early evening work out over looking the beach. Natural coastal plants. Non-pollution public transportation. Clean and attended restrooms and water access. Natural ebb of coastal lands feeding the shoreline beach. No hardened coastline defenses. No business profit motivation. Walking areas away from the traffic would be lovely but not the buildup of restaurants, shops etc. you are referencing. The charm is its open, natural beauty. I like it how it is now so in 20 years I would come back and it would be very much the same. A walking path along the water with upscale restaurants and bars facing water, retail on the other side. Examples: walking path in Wailea, Maui (amazing!). Cedros avenue, Del Mar, Laguna beach keep it the same, perhaps develop the inside area but retain the boulevard and use foot bridges the same as it is now, this is why people visit Carlsbad, it feels old school, small town, homely Park with lots of trees, food venue. It's an extension of the beautiful wide beach above Tamarack Ave, with nothing to prohibit people from just walking and enjoying it, or spending the day on the sand. I see it pretty much the same, open space, a community park/picnic area, bike trail/boardwalk along the coast. Similar to San Clemente’s boardwalk/path between the piers. That is amazing. Walking and biking trails, places for kids to run and play, benches with views of the ocean, couple of restaurants (but not so much to cause congestion) The natural beauty should remain as much as possible except for mediating for ocean encroachment to the road. There are very few places along the So. Cal coastline with the natural landscape of this area. It would be a shame to destroy it. Something similar to moonlight and downtown Encinitas Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Alot of open space as there is now without the cold and modern look that has ruined the village. We have too many eating places as it is in this City. We don't need any more. Focus on bringing back the shops in the mall and keep them off the beach I can see people biking and walking to South Carlsbad from the village. Spending the day on a nice beach with amenities of luxe beach chairs, umbrellas, cabanas you can rent, free shaded picnic tables, kiosks for tacos, ice cream, convenience items, surf lessons, parking and golf cart and bicycle parking. Families playing together at the beach. Meeting friends and walking, biking and bringing our dogs to the beach Untouched and natural Please do not make like LA where there are almost no locations left with nature. I would like the percentage of coastal business/nature about the same. Pristine undeveloped nature Park like, clean, crime free, graffiti free, not overly developed, easy ocean access and views. No hotels. Restaurant with view. SAFE Trail, bike and running space. open space with picnic areas and native plants all around I can run safely alongside the road, find parking, have benches (not for meals, but for viewing), eat at a restaurant with a tremendous view, have more sand (less rocks) on the shore. Same thing I'd like to see the area preserved with minimal to no development I feel as if I stepped back in time. Sun, san, and me! I'd see a clean coastline that is well maintained from trash, especially cigarette butts. Carlsbad residents had convenient and prioritized parking + access to beaches over out-of-towners. Pet owners have an area for dogs to frolic and enjoy the beach off-leash. A designated bike path away from the street is available to enjoy the coast safely. And I would be able to enjoy a picnic on the coast with my family. I would see a clean, wide boardwalk with accessible parking. I woukd be able to grab some ice cream or a light bite. It woukd be dog friendly. A better beach experience similar to PB and Ocean Beach with restaurants, bars, and retail along a boarwalk One of the last remaining natural coastal areas in the San Diego region Sea wall south of the campground with walking only & a separate bike path. Still camping for sure don’t take that away! Bring in sand along the entire stretch . Would it help to add a real rock jetty so the sand doesn’t wash away? Open space, viewing areas, not over developed. A safe vehicular route and a separate safe bicycle route that could not have cars crash into it. Keep it simple- just like it is. You could add a small bike/surf rental shop enjoy the coast line with unobtrusive parking facilities and limited commercial/retail facilities. It would be nice to have somewhere to sit and buy a coffee, cold drink or an icecream but at the same time the charm of this part of the coastline would be spoilt with too much commercialization It would look pretty much as it does today. Moving roadway would be the exception if absolutely necessary green belts, a few vendors/food spots, ample parking, stairs to the beaches in several locations, park area with play ground. it would be open space with parks and some parking with beach access. There would be paths for walking and a well-disguised bathroom Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Stabilize the bluff or realign the road to be sure the roadway is safe. Traffic circles at Canon and Cerizo. Not much else. A fun place to hang out Relaxing stabilized bluffs no commercialization easy beach access Residents and tourists enjoying our beautiful coastline. Trash receptacles. Children having a playground Still nature like and open spaced l see a largely untouched by commercialism, beach. It's bad enough that I take my grandchildren to the beach and advertisements fly over us the whole time. Some of them not kid friendly. The commercialism in CA as a whole is absolutely ridiculous. it would look exactly the same as it is. Everything surrounding is getting developed and "usable". Why not let this be an open nature reserve The same gorgeous open views with maybe some scenic trails It would look exactly like it currently does! Can’t you leave it untouched?? the current smooth cycling surface with limited cross traffic (not like Encinitas or Leucadia). Also a running/ walking trail that is plenty wide for all folks. I am worried about the Homeless taking over the beach area. If we had Public Parks then it would not be safe for families! Family friendly beach access and parking with a pedestrian pathway separate of bike lanes. I would like to see a place where the land can be utilized and enjoyed but NOT taken over with high buildings and businesses. An uncluttered, serene, clean, restful, safe, place for individuals and families to enjoy without being encumbered by an over-commercialized environment we all are exposed to in our daily life. Outdoor walk, dine in eating for lunch more walking, visit to my acupuncurist return home. full court basketball & play ground, families have a BBQ and plenty of parking with a open air brewery & winery with a fine dining restaurant with ocean view I would hope that as much of this land remain open space with as little concrete and asphalt as possible. Trails designated for walking and biking safely off the highway. I would like a neighborhood park rather than a community’s park which would be an amenity that was utilized primarily as a walk to or bike to destination by those who live nearby. nice long wide walking path with a wide bike lane next to it along the whole coastline and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the view. Plenty of parking within walking distance. My wife and I would park somewhere down Poinsettia and go for a jog along the coast - safe from traffic. Afterwards we'd enjoy a margarita-with-a-view to reward ourselves for a job well done. We'd no longer have to park in the Village and limit ourselves to that section of the city. Ideally, we might also get some more access points to the beach. We also wish there was a portion of our beaches that allowed off-leashed dogs. Maybe the old Encina power plant site has been turned into an amphitheater and Carlsbad hosts a Summer Concert Series like Aliso Viejo does at their city park. (A man can dream, right?) Free access to the ocean and more native vegetation, including trees planted, but not where the nice view to the west exists today. Well constructed bike and vehicle lanes with reinforced cliffs to mitigate further erosion, with NO shops or restaurants or businesses along that stretch of natural landscape and panoramic views. Safe with families and singles and all age groups enjoying park/beach-like atmosphere with litter control and services like restrooms and some concessions available. more parking areas Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: No backup traffic congestion because you failed to plan for people to act they way they are going to act instead of your idealistic view just because you changed it. Beautiful views of a protected coastline. The only break in buildings between Oceanside and Encinitas. You can take a leisurely drive south with the Ocean view unobstructed in front of you. Wide sandy beach, bathrooms, showers, safe scenic bike path, pickleball and basketball courts. plenty of free resident parking We do not need anymore shops and restaurants. Please leave us a little bit of heaven that the residents (you know the people who pay property taxes) can enjoy. We have plenty of dining and shopping. Beautiful, open coastline not marred by restaurants and shops. Beautiful native trees and plants, excellent views, paths to walk, jog and bike...only one or two shops, mostly natural space and park-like areas where we can capture the magnificence of the beach views in this area Protected natural coastline with lots of wildlife ad opportunities to be out in nature without cars or shops A gaggle of people walking, biking, socializing and accessing the beach with several establishments present. Those establishments would be smaller as to not overwhelm the views and overall feel of the area. Pedestrian friendly, shops and casual restaurants to walk and enjoy the beach view. Open space, no buildings, some parking, safe trails for pedestrians and bikes I would like to go for a long walk and maybe stop outdoor somewhere for food or drink. Safe for families and kids to walk, bike and enjoy the beaches and natural beauty and views…free from the over development of OC beach towns People out walking a biking along the coast, a couple spots were you can sit and eat/enjoy the views at outdoor cafes or bars I see myself sitting in my car, looking at the concrete and remembering how unspoiled and beautiful it once was. Nothing! There would be no building, no worry of trash, and the coast wouldn't have anything built on it. Depends upon the demographic of resident moving into the area. Development similar to public park ( I believe its called Treasure Island?) at the oceanfront of The Montage resort in Laguna beach where parking and restrooms are underground. I would like to see that there are wide walking paths closer to the shoreline and separate wide "off street" bike paths for young families. All pathways have seating overlooks every so often, drinking fountains and foot showers for those returning from the beach. Shade is provided by trees only so as not to impede views out to the ocean. A few large long linear open lawn areas are provided to the west of the pathways for unobstructed activities such as for frisbee throwing or to throw down a blanket for a sunset picnic.A few picnic tables, but no large group picnic gathering areas. The area provides passive activities and areas for quiet meditation or reflection with the majestic ocean. Public art and interpretive signage provide information about the migration of whales or shoreline protection or other educational facts about the Pacific Ocean. I would see a park-like atmosphere where I could easily find parking and enjoy nature. Clean water, clean sand, and just nature Widen the bridge at Ponto beach to allow pedestrians and bicyclists easier/safer walking/biking access to existing hotel, restaurants and bar while not shutting down lanes of traffic . Integrate appropriate existing campground areas to allow the existing restaurant more public access/ parking to further the wonderful neighborhood feel and allow visitors to the campground to experience what Carlsbad is all about. Address homeless issues so that beaches and park areas are not used as temporary shelters. Beautiful landscaping, good beach access that’s attractive, flowers, a few little restaurants with nice seating and ocean views. More and better parking that you don’t really notice, because it’s beautifully landscaped. Again, we are the flower town. This is a neighborhood area, we don’t want it tacky or commercial like PB or anything like that. It should be beautiful, people friendly, neighborhood and above all, provide access. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A natural coastline with a safe path for walking and running, and a separate safe path for binding. Places to sit and view the ocean. Places to picnic. Parking that is out of the way. No buildings to block view and access to the ocean. Less bike lanes. Limited day use parking adjacent to the entrance of the campground (where the old road was 20 or so years ago) to give people day use access to the beach along the campground. Develop the barren open areas as greenbelts. Beautiful stretch of beach I can walk along, grassy park overlooking the water with seating, kids playground to bring my grandkids I'd like out to look the same as it does now. Open beach accessible to all. Ocean views, free of buildings. A great view of the ocean and surfers. Nice parks, nice tournament quality sand volleyball courts, benches, sidewalks, no more homeless guys in vans Neighbors hanging out in their neighborhood. Friends meeting to eat, drink, walk, bike, and spend time with one another. I would hope that there are still native plants and animals using this stretch of land and the ocean is still blue and it is quiet and clean. Parks and volleyball courts on east side, protected from rocky beaches I see an "inviting" beachline, full of outdoor activities, like beach volleyball, basketball, pickleball, and maybe even a skate park. Taking up the coastline with commercial spaces isn't as beneficial to ALL members of the Cummunity. Restaurants and shopping only encourages outsiders to come in, put wear and tear on a natural resource that ONLY locals pay for with high real estate prices and taxes. The income from sales and commercial overheard isn't what I see for our local future. I’d love for Carlsbad to let nature be natural. It’s one of the few stretches of coastline that is mostly untouched. You can walk, bike, run and drive this part of the coast with a view of the ocean, and the breeze and sun at your face. You can park on the side of the road in places and get out and enjoy the view, stand on the cliffs, fly a remote controlled plane or drone, have a picnic, meditate, take a pause during a run or ride. The view of the stars at night (not filtered out by light pollution) with the sounds of crashing waves and coastal nature surrounding you. The area should be left alone without Carlsbad trying to developers every inch of land. Please PLEASE listen to the Carlsbad residents, your constituents, and do not disturb this natural wonder. I would imagine Carlsbad Blvd stay where it is but much wider cover on top of train line, where train line and train station move underground. PLEASE don't put restaurants and businesses along that corridor! that would ruin the natural and quiet beauty there. Keep it natural - with just a park and walking paths ... People enjoying things that no other place in Calif, offers. Walking trails, picnic areas, parking, meditation gardens and viewpoints of our rising sea levels and nature. No shops, No bars, etc those would be inland away from the rising ocean levels! Laid back beach restaurants/coffee shops like in Encinitas, but not overly developed with retail shops No buildings, just the natural landscape, why must we develop every square inch of Carlsbad? Beautiful sandy beach with parkland and easy access to the beach Restaurants and stores on the east side, and parks on the west side with bike and running lanes. Plenty of parking. bike path and walking paths have been created with more greenery, and we can bike and walk separated from the cars, not have to walk in the bike lane walkways, benches maybe water fountain Park like walking paths with view of ocean and places to sit and enjoy. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Pretty similar to today. Lots of green and areas for young kids to play, others to bike, walk, or jog. People have room to have dinner/picnic that they bring with the beach views. Enough parking that allows locals to come and enjoy the area. Not very industrial but some places to grab some snacks, coffee or ice cream to enjoy in the area. Big ocean view, no buildings, lots of unobtrusive parking, a giant community park where people safely walked, biked, gathered for parties, maybe concerts, cool sculptures, played pickleball, no need for grass, sand is fine. It would need to be easily patrolled by police to keep trouble at bay as it would attractive to both law abiding and non law abiding people. You’d need a plan to keep homeless people from taking over, like maybe put them in mental institutions where the severely mentally ill belong. Hopefully you won’t have to charge for parking, but if you do, maybe only charge non residents. Easy, safe and separate flow of all traffic (pedestrian, bikes, cars). Open natural and park spaces. I'm able to take a nice long walk or bike ride all the way from the village to Ponto Beach safely. There are playgrounds along the way that I can take my kids to while we walk, bathrooms to use and concessions to purchase as needed. I have access to the beaches and parking without concern. There's tons of people out with their families surfing, playing beach volleyball and enjoying the sand beneath the swings. There is a large open space park on both sides of 101, with the beach on the west and a park on the east. It's an unobstructed view from the roadway, with a variety of fun "experiences" on the east side of the avenue. It has sufficient offsite parking to allow many to enjoy the beach. A thriving place full of beach goers with amenities similar to what you have in Del Mar at power house park Beautiful grassy area with great eating locations Beautiful space that Carlsbad City wisely saved for generations to come to see what coastline used to look like in this area. Please preserve! Parks and grass Peaceful, not crowded with businesses. A place to enjoy the beach, surf, paddleboard, camp, hike, ride bikes, picnic, sunset and get away from the crowds locally. I would like it to remain as is no changes. Carlsbad does not want to look like Encinitas or Oceanside totally packed with homes and retail More parking, park area, dining and playground. Similar to Del Mar where the park and Jakes are. a combination of open space with trails, retail and restaurants. Beautifully landscaped coastline with a sandy beach and limited parking. Excellent traffic control to prevent long delays along the coast. A look akin to the coastline in Laguna Beach, without all the shops. Maybe a restaurant or rentals down at Ponto where there is more sand and parking to accommodate it. There would be a much-needed park at Ponto, and there would be a wide walking trail that extends the length of the coastline. It would otherwise be in a very natural state with no commercial or residential development. The area provides a quiet, inviting place to walk and see the ocean - it's natural and known for being one of the few undeveloped areas on the coast. We are stewards of the land. Open spaces, beach access and beach views, places to sit and access to walk along the water at low tide. Thanks for asking! A natural park like experience to preserve the coastline as it should be. Not much has changed Nice bike path, more parking for cars not RVs. Large grass park The ocean can be seen while driving, walking and biking. There is NO fence/railing/wall. There is a dedicated walking path, dedicated bike path, and two lanes in both directions for driving: ALL have clear, unobstructed ocean views. A community garden is available for people to plant fruits, vegetables and plants of various sorts, Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: with trails for meandering. The smoke stack is gone, and if the Poseidon water facility is there, then it's painted to fit it with the surroundings, with lights around the top to alert planes from the airport it's there for safety. Large open space with minimal amenities that is safe for pedestrians, cyclists, kids, to enjoy the coastline. I would see the beach and feel the wind. No buildings, no restaurants and its still city owned land. I could run, walk and bike this area and enjoy the view of the coastline that is unparalleled to all the cities around us. Open space There would be no more building along the coastline, and the existing open spaces would be turned into parks. It would be great if it would still be as it is today. Natural beauty and not overcrowded because there are restaurants, shops etc along the beautiful coastline that also blocks the view Similar to Moonlight Beach, larger car lot, lots of beach space, surf rentals, volleyball nets, taco shop nearby Open space with walking paths like the lagoons, little to no retail or dining It would just be open space/parks for all to enjoy with great views of the ocean No commercial or housing between the road and the ocean. Either a linear park (like Santa Monica) or natural terrain with hiking and biking. This will attract us AND tourists to existing businesses east of road. Open restaurants and brewery, sports park, bike trails Less concrete , buildings and more Persian like gardens it would be the same like it is today, un changed without stores, fine dinning, retail shops etc. It's the beach, drive inland for that and keep traffic away please It would look relatively the same and we would see signs of the natural beauty including wildlife. There would be a few visitors but not many. No buildings or restaurants blocking views as I drive by. A natural, pristine coastline with little development. Natural, authentic, indigenous landscape with innovative vernacular low scale architecture. I can walk or run along the top of the bluff without being right next to busy traffic. There are fancy and casual restaurants with oceans views to eat at. The area has retained the laid-back, uncrowded feel of south Carlsbad. There are lots of areas for residents to enjoy, not just hotels and shops that cater to tourists. There are hiking trails that go completely around batiquitos lagoon so I can spend all day walking on trails and end up where I started (in a loop). I visualize an area similar to the park next to the Harbor Fish Cafe in town. Less asphalt, less dirt patches, more natural areas. Also, let's get rid of so many long stop lights, roundabouts would be better. Timed traffic signals to promote going speed limit. There are still long stretches that are undeveloped but there is also an option or two for dining Poor man’s Pebble Beach golf course ITS PERFECT AS IT IS LEAVE IT ALONE Natural beauty, just the ocean & thd sand, no shops no buildings no crowds. Affordable dining with good service, a place to hang out with friends and family and an area for dogs to be off leash. I would like to see it the same with some clean up and routine road maintenance Keep nature focus, don't put stores there more & more people then will mean better areas for controlled access. Relaxing place to dine and take the grandkids fishing off the pier. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: An open park with playground, bike paths, restrooms, picnic tables, enjoy joining family and friends in a game of wuffel ball, share a picnic lunch, fly a kite,… The coastline looking great and a new rail guard for pedestrians An area to ride bikes or walk. Plenty of parking. Easy beach access with restrooms nearby. Some shops/restaurants along the way. Benches/chairs/picnic tables. Snack bar. Fire pits. I'd have riden my bike from olde Carlsbad, walked along a trail or path to enjoy the view, perhaps have a beverage or snack. In another visit, I would bring guests to enjoy a sunset dinner Natural scenery Costal interpretive trails, with separate bike path. Calm undeveloped area, with seating areas/benches and occasional toilet facilities. A respite from commercial activity. If commercial activity is added, that it be grouped in the ends of the defined area so there is peaceful areas preserved to enjoy sitting, picnicking, waking, hiking. Think Torrey pines state beach. I hope it doesn’t become over developed with retail and restaurants, but is still easy to access with the coastline still being easy access An easy, aesthetic approach and place to park. I can stay in the car to show my older friends the coast/ocean. I could park for an hour or two to read a book, or walk the beach, or take pictures. I can get out and walk to a safe, comfortable, enjoyable place to sit for a while without being panhandled or inundated with noise, have a little space between other people. Have a quiet, less crowded place to go, (think SRF garden) with fewer people and no dogs. There have to be safe access to the beach. Access to the ocean. Safe place to swim, separate areas to bogie board or surf. And also for other events have larger place(s) more open for bigger groups to socialize, hear a band or quartet, get some food, go to an art fair or throw a frisbee or fly a kite. I'd like a place I can leave my car and take off on my bike for a half, or day's ride. (This parking should be away from the coast.) I'd love to be able to get to to that space with a short bus/streetcar/trolly/rickshaw ride down La Costa Dr. or one of the other big avenues. There should be open sunny spaces, and places of shade. I'd like sand beach areas, rocks areas, and more native planting areas. Various walking trails, viewpoints to observe the ocean, birds--shore and inland, native and adapted plants/gardens, people watch. It would be nice to have some art pieces, or a place for installation exhibits. Little library boxes. Drinking fountains. Feet showers. Maybe safe lockers to keep thieves from stealing my car keys or camera out of my lunch box and then using the key fob to walk the parking lot to steal my car (this happened.) The lockers can keep food safe from marauding sea gulls (this happens too.) Busy active areas, locker areas, food areas, parking areas keep separate from the more natural areas so one feels like they were the original inhabitants discovering the ocean. Could there be some way for handicapped folks to get from a more distant parking lot to the car free areas without walking? Built areas should be interesting and artful, not the usual, run-of-the-mill building. These areas could maybe show case new 'fire- proof', green building materials and ideas--rammed earth walls, metal panels, solar power, wind generation. Sort of an exhibition of what is possible. I know $$$ will be a consideration so maybe there is a way to partner with local architect/landscape architect/construction firms. Or have corporate sponsors of the products used or just ones that have some funds to donate. Dream big and build in pieces. Able to cruise down the coastline on my bike with unobstructed views and able to buy and eat food right there with an ocean view also and able to enjoy a picnic or exercise right there Improved? Improved from its natural state? Do not touch this area. Quit trying to build things up. Rising sea levels? That’s your reason? Come on. Why don’t we not spend the money and waste everyone’s time. Leave it alone. keeping it natural looking How I left it. Nothing for sale, just a beautiful coast line. We have enough restaurants and shops. Open space Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A Natural coastline with NO playgrounds, restaurants, shops etc. How sad to take away one of the last undeveloped areas of north county. Please enhance the naturalness of this environment and preserve and protect it for future generations. Paths for walking/biking Integrated park like setting with better access to beach. Not covered with more shops and hotels, I can still see the ocean Measures have been implemented to protect the coastline from erosion and pollution Open space with no changes Parks, preserved coastline, without storefronts or restaurants I wouldn’t like it. People dining on the beach...hear live music playing I see activities we can do together as a community. To be outside and have places to go that get kids off video games. Bicycles are huge and kids need a safe place to ride and the mental/physical benefits are countless. Not to mention it contains the riders in a safer manner than them riding where they decide. It’s a destination and from my experience at all the tracks/bike parks we go to we see the same people every week….95% of the regulars at these places are from Oceanside Carlsbad Carmel valley San Juan Capistrano and even some further. These people in Orange County SD pass Carlsbad to go to Temecula just for a pump track that Velosolutions built. If you don’t know about them you should google it, it is incredible. The amount of business that would pour into the city would be a amazing. People would shop in the store that already exist instead of making new ones that are just duplicates of the ones already existing. Open land and unobstructed views, maybe 1-2 view restaurants, bike lanes, walking trails, parks, more beach access Park like atmosphere, with trees for shade. I could lay a blanket and have a picnic, and enjoy nature. Benches along a path to be able to sit and take in the view. Plenty of preserved open space and habit preservation, with some conveniences like public restrooms, small areas of tasteful conveniences such as play areas, beverges, and water stations to refill reusable water bottles. Keeping the area pristine and natural and glorious while making enough walkways and play areas so that people can enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline. Keep the shopping in the village and at the Carlsbad Company Stores. AS IS overall design that enhances/jibes with coastal aesthetic, easily accessible eco-friendly pathways for foot traffic, native plantings to soften architecture, consistent architectural look and feel, shade cover, quality night lighting for safety and beauty, natural seating/lookout locations, food/drink offerings, pet accessibility but not overrun by them, tasteful recreation opportunities for kids of all ages (no skateboards), adequate parking that doesn't interfere with natural aesthetic grass, trees, shade, walking paths I see a coastline that has been preserved in its natural state—hillsides growing with flowers and plants where squirrels have their homes, stones that wash in with the tide each year, a well kept campground, a jetty that flows into Batiquitos Lagoon, and open sands where no buildings hinder the ocean views—just a few reasons why so many people are drawn to our city. no hotels!! Public access points to the beach, a natural setting to enjoy the unique panoramic views of the area, Not overbuilt like the Village. A litter-free & clean, natural feeling space that’s safe for all ages to enjoy walking, biking, & yummy specialty carry-out food—in biodegradable packaging. It would be wonderful to see exploration opportunities, too. Best Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: would be that the area is easy to access, discourages big crowds, and is safe for children, seniors, and everyone in-between. A few shops, restaurants, and coffee shops on the east side of the road. Plenty of open coastline to see without buildings blocking the entire view. Easy access to the beach from street parking. Some casual restaurants with coastal views. A long stretch of walking and biking path to be enjoyed safely while cars have their own lanes. I do not like the shared bike and car lane like Encinitas, it feels unsafe for everyone. A beautiful wild nature preserve on one end with scenic views, a walking/biking path, a charming local coffe shop/cafe. A blend of wild and raw beauty with recreation options and limited shops/services. exactly what I see today. !!!! I would hope that there would be fewer traffic lights instead of more. I would like to see u-turn lanes. I would like to see the open areas left wide open! As I drive north from Leucadia, I want to be able to view the water, not man-made structures. I want there to be parking spaces along the beach and easy access. I want people to think how lucky I am that Carlsbad still has not traded in their values for commercialism. keep a beachy vibe and not over crowded and over built. More amenities and access More small shops like coffee, hip restaurant with good food, people shop, enjoy the beach with a cup of coffee. Like Santa Monica in LA Walking paths Nature Sitting areas facing the ocean Picnic areas just like now but with more e-cars. Do not let it become a place for the homeless, drugs, trash and crime that plague too many places in California. Busy with a mix of upscale restaurants, boutique shops and convenient, retail , rental shops for sports i’d like to see it stay just as it is, beautiful ocean views while driving , doesn’t get any better than this road!!! less traffic and underdeveloped. Walkable restaurants and bars casual and upscale. Sea wall and street in parking like La Jolla Shores. It is a wide open coast line without structures or parking lots. It is a playground for people to enjoy without having to spend money, a pure natural experience. The water is clean, the beach and sand is clean, basically as it exists today! Large green field like Delmar beach with a play ground, Couple of nice restaurants and coffeeshop, and more volleyball net No more commercial buildings please! Families walking on boardwalk, eating snacks, playing games, having fun. No alcohol or spring break feel. Fun To be honest I like it like it is. I WOULD BE SOOO SAD THAT THIS AREA WASN'T LEFT OPEN FOR ALL TO ENJOY eSPECIALLY IF THERE WERE BUILDINGS/HOMES BLOCKING THE CURRENT UN-OBSTRUCTED VIEWS! The overall look and feel preserved, road-side parking removed in lieu of parking away from the beach with pedestrian underground or bridge crossing to get to the beach. Wide pedestrian walking path and protected biking path for exercising and walking. Keep it as is with a dog beach and off leash hours at all public parks. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Parking with access to parkland and beach both A safe and designated coastal walking and riding path with a divide from parked cars, and the coast highway. This could be inset enough from the bluff area and retain the coastal views. There are easy access points to the beach. No eateries or shopping. There are plenty close by. Natural preserve with walking paths Easy access to great surfing. Beautiful manicured park areas… easy access to the beach and the cove (for paddle boarding etc). Great places to hang out and have a casual dinner with some wood retail accessible to everyone. I love the chiringuitos you find in Spain. Beautiful little huts that are not on the water, but a little off, and provide a peaceful spot to order a little food and a drink. Nice bathroom facilities. Dogs allowed! An area focused around the natural beauty with family friendly activitiesand locations that counter the adult party/ drinking scene of carlsbad village. Sufficient parking to use the area (e.g. parking structures at both ends), at each also rental facilities and places to eat. For the coastline a bike path and hiking trail for people of all ages and experience. The ability to access the beach at certain locations throughout the coastline. A sprawling park overlooking ocean with grass, trees, bike and walking trails. A few restaurants and specialty stores but not overly commercialized. The rugged and natural beauty and simplicity of what's there today is not lost. A unique feel similar to powerhouse park in Del Mar. Improved open space with park like settings. Wide winding sidewalks. Open walking trails. Sitting areas. Clean up ponto but preserve open space. easy beach access for "locals" not a big parking lot or concessionaires carrying your junk to beach. Family beach not big party beach. no vendors selling stuff on the beach. some activity on beach but not too much restraint the openness of the beach. For example people see an open beach and want to fill it with volleyball or other concessions. That open space is viewed and used by us to fly kites, run around, having a feeling of spaciousness, not be too crowded on holidays and summer etc. The value of restful places is a real asset to the community. In an otherwise hectic commercialized space it is a respite. Less restaurants more green grass hills Lots of open space with the gorgeous ocean views right there as you drive past with nothing blocking the views. Not crowded, but natural. Free parking as it is today. Ability to get to beaches that aren’t overcrowded and to stand on a cliff as you watch the sun set into the ocean. Relaxed walking, seating areas, great Ocean views A fun and beautiful place to hang out on the beach Fine the way it is. Sounds like it won’t just be open space but businesses will be added? No thanks. I see an open natural space preserved with the lagoon and ocean access. Walking paths, biking paths that continue to allow wild life in the lagoon to flourish and allow people to have access to the beach. I see children playing, laughing with their families on the beach. Leave it alone. Stop over developing. Do not touch our coastline. easy and safe beach access with reasonable parking A pristine coastline in Carlsbad w/no building and no obstructions to the one and only Carlsbad Coastline view. Nice, accessible beach, lots of bike and running paths, coffee/snack place with casual seating. I would want decisions to be made that are Environmentally conscious. All of the above possibilities could bring more foot traffic, trash, etc...any change would need to be blending into the beauty of the natural coastline, the view is beautiful. Casual, beachy, nature inspired. open spaces small beach town feel Seemlesss environment blending recreation and community Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: It would be great to have a coastline safe from cliff danger, green belt for families to sit and enjoy the ocean view. People enjoying the beach with their families and dogs Try to do a fine public walking park like the one at the Self Realization Fellowship in Encinitas-right on the coastline. Lots of landscaping using reclaimed water. 2/3 of the Encinas treated water is sill being dumped from the ocean outfall !!! Natural open areas for enjoyment , Pacific Ocean views and a sense of a coast place or destination A fun place to walk around. I grew up loving Balboa & Newport Beach. There were lots of fun things….places to fish, dine & a fun zone. Something like that on a smaller scale. People walking, biking, ebiking, e-scootering in harmony...shopping, eating, relaxing, having fun in a very safe pedestrian friendly area with access to the beach. Clean beaches, alternative bike and e-vehicle wide road. Just enough shops that I don’t have to go into Encinitas, but not so many that traffic becomes an issue. A nicely preserved campground through all of this transition. No shops, no stores, more parking and places to enjoy a picnic lunch and view of the ocean. Not overbuilt. Views preserved as they are today. Some conveniences available but not a retail hub. More clean restrooms. More police presence. Electric vehicle charging stations. Natural as is today I see the coast, no buildings blocking my view, with locals hanging out enjoying a good wave, and being able to drive and still see the ocean. No development more natural surroundings No roads Places to sit and enjoy the beautiful coastline. Old Carlsbad look. I'd love to have a place to eat and drink in Carlsbad with an ocean view. Open Coast untainted by buildings businesses and too much traffic. I see coastal open space, largely preserved without obstruction from buildings, high-rises, condos, etc. I see families enjoying trails, the beach, biking, walking, surfing. I see a few places where people can park, stop, enjoy the view, pic-nic, etc. But it largely remains undeveloped. Safe and secure streets. Better ocean view s Surfing with my grandchildren. Indigenous trees and sand as far as I can see stretch out. Healthy, active people hiking and walking and biking and skating safely. Easy parking. Commitment to open spaces will make Carlsbad the jewel of the Southern California coast. Not developed - mostly beach - ok for sitting or walking areas - no commercial enterprises to block access to Ocean Improved pedestrian access and retained natural coastline Non blocked views of The ocean. Open to all and free Dedicated walk/bike paths No retail business, please do not add shops. It will ruin the land, add even more traffic, it will not be the beach any more. That it should be left as is It would be nice to have the nice sidewalks and access afforded the beach currently in the section adjacent to the village open space, beautiful plantings, people playing on grass, no big stores or restaurants, benches, flowers Good blend of open space and cool places to visit Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I'd want to see it just the way it is, or minimal changes. I don't think it's necessary to add more shops/restaurants when there's plenty up in Carlsbad Village, and down in Encinitas. It feels good to drive down the road and just drive alongside the open view of the water and cliffside. Small, quaint beach town with amazing views. A dedicated, safe walking path like the seawall along Tamarack beach. The ocean and not a bunch of buildings. I want to be able to walk the coastline safely. I think some sort of concession stand with board rentals and sunscreen, etc would be nice but fit it into the surroundings. No businesses. No retail. Natural lands. Trails. Improved pavement, no change in routing. Birds, wild flowers, wildlife sanctuaries. A preserved accessible coastline. Dog park and brewery. trails, sitting areas grass Like Balboa park on the beach A 21st century beach experience with ample parking more controlled speeds through better enforcement of laws. More peaceful open space to enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer More pedestrian paths, a few more valuable restaurants (similar to The Goods, Choice, etc.), and NO cheesy tourist convenience stores, chain restaurants, or other things that remove the local charm. The same but no time shares, no hotels, no hotel related restaurants. Pretty much the same as it is today, and with side walks on each side. Grassy area to walk, relax and look at the ocean. Similar to Central Park, a place to walk, relax and spend time with people we care about. A promenade like Laguna beach. Small shops, public art, restaurants, dog park, casual places to enjoy the view and just relax, without having to go on the beach. Comfortable (non-concrete) seating. Places with shade. Lots of trees on the beach. Public bathrooms/showers. A place for listening to music and performing arts. An on- going artist/craft show. completely untouched coastline with the highway moved back. what I see and experience now Easy coastal access, open space to enjoy unobstructed views, easy area to bicycle and drive. A space to recreate and relax. DO NOT want a congested commercially developed corridor Everything looks the same An urban town without cement and retail everywhere or tons of tourists and traffic. Keep the small town, natural feel or we'll be just like OC and LA Open space, more beach parking, paths/areas to walk dogs/sit outside, retail shops and dining. NO BARS no cars Beautiful vistas It DOES NOT need improving, it is PERFECT exactly as it is. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Similar to how it is now, but with western southbound traffic lanes removed, and an area with restrooms, showed and picnic area. Also, electric vehicle charging stations, and secure racks for e bikes and bikes People are casually flowing back and forth between the beach and a waterfront park, restaurants and shops with no cars in sight. Active people are running, walking and biking for miles along the coast without interacting with cars. There is parking along the east side of all of that goodness so we can access it easily and without trouble but once we're there we enjoy the coast carless. It a destination for families, runners, walkers, bikers and people who love the beach. Lots of foliage, mature trees, shady areas, and grass. Major reduction of fast moving, noisy vehicles. A very comfortable and relaxing place. Open areas without homes you have to walk around. Better parking and a larger & wider walkway. Small sit down or stand up casual restaurant with foods to go and dine in. Preserved, kept beautiful and simple, and maybe landscaped a bit. It hasn't changed because it has been kept the same. Every bit of coastline should be kept the same. You don't need to take up every bit of coastline nor change it. people walking, jogging, biking, rolling, strolling in a protected space separate from the car traffic. Car passage is possible but is slow. Much of it is left as open space and the few little shops are well integrated into the landscape to keep from spoiling the nature of it. People walk and bike to those shops. park more access and families gathering, like del mar very little changes, we have plenty of coffee shops, ice cream places and restaurants I would love to see people biking, walking, surfing and not to over developed. Ease of parking. Easy access and parking. I would like the area to be pedestrian friendly and safe for bikers. I would be sad if this area was further commercialized. I see a peaceful, natural area with walking paths, separates bike and cars lanes. Better access to sandy beaches, better ocean views, slower traffic and some additional parking to give more people an opportunity to enjoy the coast. I'll be dead by then, but would like my children and grandchildren to enjoy the beach, the view, hiking, and plenty of sand to play in. Change is not improvement. Less development near the shoreline is important to maintain the warmth of Carlsbad. Exactly how it is now but maybe a better walkway down to the sand at the turnarounds and maybe a few other spots. Open space & views. Walking trails are limited to keep crowds at a minimal controllable amount welcoming area. low development of commercial nature. area for folding chairs, picnic blankets - like at La Jolla Village Cove area. No cars. No retail. No developed land other than fortified cliffs. Lots of open space and beach access. Low building heights, attractive parking with speed control. NO SHOPS, NO HOUSES. Open access to beach by paths, walking paths, bike lanes, etc. I would see nicely designed green areas, with sidewalks meandering between. Perhaps some pop-up or low rise coffee shops/surf related shops (along with public bathrooms) would be available at the beginning or the end of the zone, to allow for a full day spent without having to go back to a car. I see lots of kids being able to safely walk or scoot along the ocean, alongside their parents. I also see nicely designed stairways that provide safe access to the ocean for prime surfing! Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: More parking access. More green space. No tall buildings or shopping complexes near the Coastline. More pedestrians & less traffic Preserved! The only needed improvement are stair cases in front of the power plant which were promised years ago! Instead we continue to erode the delicate hillside! There are plenty of parking spaces further from the beach than the current ones. I can walk or bicycle down to the beach or along the coastline and be able to do many things including dining, swimming or boogie boarding. Walking trail like up by Carlsbad downtown paths, shops aloing beach without a road nearby The main road further east from the coast. Bike and walker lanes separated from the busy road. Easy coastal access and a community space with playground and eating facilities for the public to use. A long stretch of coastline to walk, bike, or run along that is not next to the road. A more quiet experience to take in the views and have access to the beach in a couple of places. Occasional shade structures and native plants. I'd be very happy if it were the same and not any more crowded. I can't help but think more density of people will come with this project and that always has a negative impact on the natural aspects of the area. I would still like both roads open. The current south bound and current North bound and BOTH LANES. bikes have lots a room already. No cars. More family friendly activities. Safe open space to walk, bike, surf etc. easy parking, walkway, causal food. plenty of open space/native plants where people can picnic and overlook the ocean. easily accessible for all, especially for those who need ramps/sidewalks. open space, Open gathering spaces like Spanish plaza or Itialian piazza with parking and access to beaches. Pickleball courts, more parking with beach access along with some bars and restaurants on the East side of the road so they have a view and the people driving have a view of the ocean. The coastline should remain in it's natural state with low light pollution. The coastline is a treasure and should preserve the unimpaired natural and coastal resources for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. a boardwalk for walking, multiple eating/drinking spots with walking/sitting areas in between. The whole point is enjoying the view, so retail shops are not necessary on that side of the street. Create parking on the other side with walking bridges every 100 yards or so. It should not be jam-packed. Similar to Huntington Beach or Santa Monica, with better beach access, more service businesses with views (not estate homes), better facilities to enjoy a day at the beach, more ocean view restaurants (casual and fine) and bars (right now there are only 1 or 2 Carlsbad restaurants with an ocean view and most are on the other side of 101. Decline Open land WITH NO RETAIL This feels like a bait and switch Park with walking trails, picnic areas, tree shaded areas and a par course(s) for varying levels of fitness. Beautiful views, place to walk/bike, only very few spots for food/drinks (no restaurants), no crowds, safety. Parks, adequate parking, a few eateries. Open views of the ocean. Keep the roads paved, and keep the rest the same. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Natural coastline, with well-made and maintained walking paths well-separated from any bicycle lanes/paths. Walkers, bicyclists, beach-goers, and surfers enjoying the space together with mutual respect and courtesy. No new structures (e.g., no retail, restaurants, etc.) except perhaps restroom facilities - retaining openness is key. Nature I would see the coastline much as it is today with clear views of the ocean and lagoon, wetland controls and protected habitats for wild animals, better day-use beach accesses and a wider beach area. Please don't introduce commercialism into these pristine state-owned environments. I hope & pray that this area of coastline would be exactly the same, .... without any commercial development. PERIOD ! Native habitat with limited hiking trails, benches and overlooks. Open vistas free of shops and services listed in 3. There is enough of those services in Carlsbad Village and Encinitas. Keep this stretch wild. open space. not every square foot needs retail, hotels or condos. Bike friendly and a place where families can enjoy the coast There would be no retail or commercial or dining in this corridor. It would be natural, flat, with native plants, and specified roadways for biking and walking. PLEASE do not commercial-ize this stretch of pristine coast! open grass with beautiful views. NO COMMERCIAL concessions. Just beautiful open space Exactly as it is today, except bike lanes are distinct, separate and never broken as you ride along. Thanks! Safe secured restricted parking at the North end of the park and the South end of the park. No overnight parking. No camping. A landscaped corridor walking jogging path from the North end of the proposed park to the South end of proposed park, adjacent to the Ponto State Beach Park. Lots of areas for families to gather and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Plenty of trash receptacles. Safety patrols. Dog play areas. Some sports areas such as tennis or pickle ball. Frisbee golf. Golf putting green. Exercise stations, 'rock' climbing stations, children's play area. Limited stage area for performance arts, also utilized by local young talent and experienced older performers. No large acts, ie: no nationally recognized bands. Noise/time restrictions on performances so as not to disturb surrounding community. Entire park and walking path 100% secured from overnight campers. Prevention of parking being dominated by a small subsection of population. Essentially, restrict setting up camp in the parking area for the entire time parking is open. See additional comments posted on you tube video which describes the proposed new park location. See Lovely area for all to walk, sit and enjoy our beautiful coastline. Must be safe for all ages and include no fee parking spaces. To live and enjoy walking, biking and sightseeing Sand preservation, continued safety and cleanliness, no homeless encampments, pedestrian path or sidewalk along the coast, bike barrier for cyclist safety, NO extra tall building or commerce added along the coastline. I want to be able to see it exactly the way it is. Encinitas, Leucadia and Oceanside are all changing for the worst. I would like to see the speed limit at Ponto Beach on hwy 101 drop to 35mph. Dangerous to beach goers, speed limit now is 55mph and people are going fastr than posted. To stay the same with no new anything, just keep it clean and safe and more lifeguards too (year-round). It looks vintage and natural, just the way it is now. No building so the view would be the same in 20 years! Keep the coast highway as is. It was improved to keep high rise hotels, condos, and other huge structures away from the coastline to keep it as natural as possible I see a long bike ride in the morning ending with the option to grab food and coffee to take to a park, sit and enjoy the view. Families gathering for a "beach-view" day/evening Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Native habitation, no buildings, no more hotels/restaurants. A mix of hiking trails and bike lanes, this stretch has been largely undeveloped, not monetized, to preserve its natural coastal beauty and remain accessible to everyone seeking to experience and appreciate the ocean environment. It's not overdeveloped nor overrun with traffic and tourists. A meandering walkway along the ocean, attractive landscaping (waterwise but with flowers), sufficient parking (underground??) Better and safer parking with a variety of places to sit with family like picnic tables, etc. Large open green space. Park for kids, area for our dog to get out and run. Meandering bike trail through all of it. Picnic tables with families enjoying the day. Let's be honest, Southern California is so built up, it's a concrete jungle. This is a chance to reverse that trend. Just open the space up for use. We have enough shops and stores lets just make green space for everyone to enjoy I want to see beautiful ocean views with open space. I want to see Carlsbad’s charm and beauty preserved. The city does not need more buildings, shops, etc. To enhance the natural surroundings (beaches) which are the city’s main asset will make it a wonderful destination. A one-of-a-kind coastal park. Open spaces for picnics and birthday parties. Walking trails along preserved coastal bluffs - similar to Torrey Pines. The beauty of nature, NOT a bunch of retail shops or more restaurants/bars. Easy access to a larger beach area (without stones), adequate parking, some casual restaurants, small food concessions, beautiful landscaping, not overly crowded, walking trails, seating areas (benches) It retains its natural beauty and is protected from developers. I see more open, usable space that let's me enjoy the view. Looks just the way it is with a couple of casual,small restaurants. I see the ocean with residents and visitors enjoying the views and the open space. a tranquil place with pedestrians and cyclists overflow parking and designated firepits on the beach for first come, first serve use. I could find parking, park and walk along the coast for miles simply enjoying the sounds of the ocean preserved Carlsbad charm and character = no development Keep what nature gave us alive, let the ocean, earth and people breath. We do not need concert ..blacktop covering our shores. I understand the city needs revenue, but nature in balance is a far greater and long term revenue that is greater than the $$$$ Beautiful and peaceful ocean views as well as trails with no cars rushing close by An improvement would be less people, less trash and no apartments or condos, just 1 story single family residences on 6000SF lots minimum. Beautiful open space without buildings. it would look like nature has been preserved and the coastline looks like it has been these last 200 years. Also take into account climate change. I would prefer to keep it as is. The 5 is already so congested that it makes traveling to carlsbad and further south miserable. Closing access to the 101 would only exasperate the problem. I think this project would be a mistake. Instead of enticing people to come to Carlsbad it would have the opposite affect. People would avoid the area due to the added traffice. I see it the way it is now perfect. Development is not always needed to improve something that is already perfect. Don't let greed ruin nature. open and accessible coastal views. Some parking and restroom facilities but no other buildings. Once you overdevelop with restaurants and hotels you lose a rare open coastline that you can never get back. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Nothing but ocean water No development along the coastline just more access for pedestrians Nothing it needs to be left alone to be a serene spot where nature is allowed to show its beauty in the middle of two towns that have been overrun by greed and stupid politicians lining their pockets Head out the door and run along the coast away from cars and adjacent to coastline. The natural coastline is there to be appreciated by both locals and tourists, who can spend time on the beaches, camp nearby, and view wildlife. A gathering place for the community Beautiful views Open space No commercial development No building open space safe and well served access to the beach. Lively environment with all needed food drinks surfboards umbrella etc available for a reasonable price. Nice paths so people of all ages and abilities can access or get close to the beach including strollers and wheelchairs strollers. Shaded areas. Seating areas. Silence and peace areas. Children free area I would see the beach from the walking path, there would not be any retail shops or hotels. I would keep it as it is. Simple unencumbered beauty Would have boardwalk continued from down town small scale of restaurant and or ice cream type places ,no dogs, do not want the area to look like Pacific Beach want simple low key not built for tons of people and crowds limited parking will keep the crowds down would like to see Po to beach rocks cleared out A green space for people (and dogs on leases) to enjoy, relax, look at the ocean. Specially designed areas for senior citizens to relax, with shaded covering over benches to sit. Safety is key as well. No development! Please no stores. It would ruin the area for me. A park or grass would be nice. Walking paths, more visible nature, more areas to park and amenities such as concessions at the beach, showers, proper restrooms not impacted by homeless. All outdoor options for food, local musicians, bike riding/walking, no cars, casual vibe. …I see a young couple having alone time. I see an older couple walking hand-n-hand, maybe with their dog on a leash. I see a piece of Old Carlsbad. Open space without shops Looks same but with wide walking and biking paths on both sides of street Area for outdoor and family activities. A place where I can spend a whole day enjoying the beach, good food for all age groups. Bike & pedestrian paths separated by a barrier from vehicle traffic. More bathrooms instead of portajohns Living in north west Leucadia (just south of LaCosta and west of Hwy 101 ) the development of this coastline will have large impacts on our community. An enjoyable experience would be devoid of auto traffic congestion and full of opportunity to explore the area by foot or bike. Commercial facilities would accentuate local commerce and small businesses, not national chains. Preservation of scenic vistas and attention to the maintenance of our beautiful coast and ocean would be paramount. There wouldn’t be a shitty dilapidated strip mall carcasses because government officials sold out and took kickbacks from developers so that they could make a buck. It wouldn’t be just another dumpy environment it would be the natural environment a preserve…like what Cardiff and encinitas have because their government officials have morals and stnadards I see people strolling an open grassy park-like area with a few stores that offer drinks, snacks, treats benches, picnic tables, Bocce ball court, small tot lot-shared fun space for all ages Less congestion, low traffic, an sufficient parking if there's going to have shopping & dining establishments. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Walking trails with exercise stations, kids playground, sufficient restrooms, maintained walkways to beachfront It would be undeveloped Intergenerational accessible, affordable, and fun. It’s a nice place to stop for a few minutes or all day. There would be quiet places and places to enjoy the sunset. I could have a casual and quick lunch or celebrate an event as the sun sets. Plenty of parking or easy to commute to. I see people walking, biking, running and has a positive and safe vibe and sense of neighborly community where visitors share “a must see/experience this Carlsbad coastline”. I can walk there from the Village, or bike, or drive. There is parking along both directions of Carlsbad Boulevard. From the parking area on the northbound side, you get to the park via an accessible pedestrian bridge or tunnel. The park looks a bit like Powerhouse park & beach in Del Mar - some grass and some California coastal looking little trees (not oleander) for a bit of shade without obstructing the view. No permanent concessions other than clean, safe public restrooms. Not even food trucks (they generate too much traffic and trash). There are bike racks and trash/recycle bins. Some people are walking or running on a hard walking surface around the park and meandering through the middle. Dogs are playing in an off-leash dog section. Children are playing on a children's play structure. People are lounging on the grassy area with picnics and bubble wands. It's a perfect place to spend a couple quiet hours away from the crowd on the seawall and beach. Ahhh. As I soar over the flame-roasted sunbathers, I regret that just anyone could come along and rent a fire- breathing dragon. Whatever city council approved something so dangerous should be recalled immediately. Many of the buildings and developments have all been removed, all of the government maintained landscape has also been removed there by removing all the toxic chemicals pesticides and weedkillers and also a lot of the other related hazards. The natural habitat and biota would be restored there and thriving so you would see wildlife everywhere all kinds of amazing wildlife. There would be a really great well-maintained bike path that is smooth so that people can skateboard and rollerskate and be physically active through this wildlife area and that would also include lots of dirt paths for hiking and also there would be more camping because camping is an affordable way for families to have quality time together. Because all of the corruption and government has been exposed starting back since 2020 (if you haven’t heard about it it’s because the sting operations are in play) , all of the corrupt international bankers/their agents who were colluding with government officials who used to play games with surveys in order to trick people into thinking that the corrupt ones horrible schemes were somehow the people‘s idea. All those corrupt government officials are now either poor, in prison, and/or had passed/moved away. As a native who grew up here I see all my remarkable friends and neighbors and they’re healthy and physically active and have quality time together and enjoy life and it looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell movie. Young families just starting out are absolutely charmed to be living in such a beautiful place. As a result Carlsbad is a thriving community and the envy of the world like it always has been. Therefore we would celebrate a job well done Carlsbad and give thanks. I see the ocean and SAND. Can the erosion be stopped? Open space for walking, hiking and biking. At the top of the bluff, benches to sit and tables for picnicking. Parking for residents, not just the campers. Less fast noisy traffic. Can racing motorcycles and cars with loud mufflers be stopped? It would be an open piece of land with as much nature preserved as possible. It would look like it did 100 years ago before it was developed. There would be lots of bike and hiking trails. The natural coastline kept how it is with additional native plantings. A few small beach restaurants on the east side of the street and large bike lanes with more recreational space. Left to natural state it is like Torrey Pines Sate Park park space Families playing on grassy areas. People are free from the commercialization of downtown Carlsbad It depends Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would like to see the highway maintained as is and a community park in the west side of Ponto Drive with shops located on the west of Ponto Road. NO MED OR HIGH DENSITY HOUSING. A plan to protect further erosion of our bluffs and beaches. A similar plan being considered by Oceanside for continued sand replacement on South Carlsbad beaches. pockets of mixed use commercial / residential that is set back in the east side of 101 but still offers a few floors of residential clusters. open parks and walking areas. I wouldn't want to add too much extra parking as that just draws in a lot of out of town traffic. The Village and the promenade is a great place for the tourism. I wouldn't want south Carlsbad to become too touristy. No more hotels seem needed. Keep it residents enjoying their neighbors like it is now, but with a few more neighbors. Maybe the wood fires at the campgrounds could be limited to one night per week so neighbors don't have to smell the fire very often. Safe bike paths, and walking paths. Maybe a place to unload a kayak or paddleboard and then somewhere to park the car. More campgrounds or day use picnic areas. Maintained the openness and natural beauty as much as possible but incorporating walk/skate/bike/ path that leads to one story shops/restaurants but also keeps the paths separate - like one that is by the retail access and one that’s off in its own with periodic cross thrust to get to the paths and to the beach in one side and retail in the more inside part Beautiful vistas on the west side of the hwy, with no obstructed view to the ocean. Small roads leading to beach parking to the west, all business's would be off the North bound lanes on the East side of hwy, no obstruction when looking West. Bike/walking path on the west side of the hwy, separating it from the road with a concrete divider not just a painted line. Also no e-bikes, e-scooters or e-skateboards allowed on it only manual bikes, the e-bikes etc. would have their own lane on the hwy like it is now. Trees and beautiful landscaping on the grassy vista to truly enjoy what Carlsbad represents, the outdoors, the ocean, family’s happy to raise their children here and wanting to Bragg to all their friends how user friendly Carlsbad is for them and loved ones. That Carlsbad planed it this way for the people to enjoy the last few acres of land that they had remaining instead of allowing more big businesses to build and hide our beautiful beaches from all who drive through. One can dream can’t she! boardwalk with shops and restuarants It is a natural stretch of native vegetation it'd be like a lower key version of Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Development has been done without sacrificing views from the roadway, and there are no buildings taller than one story, with a reasonable amount of parking available. I want to keep his part of Carlsbad’s coastline just as it currently is. Development will cause traffic congestion and pollution for coastline flora and fauna. An area developed back to a safe natural state. This means having a place to walk, play, watch nature and share a picnic lunch. I see the coastline just as it is today and am so thankful that someone had the vision to leave it as undisturbed as it is today. Services along with ocean views. Improved walking and bicycle paths. Some views of the beach and the ocean. Some art galleries, restaurants and retail shops. Good parking. Fun, relaxing, beautiful. traffic, homeless, condos, tall buildings, private beaches Beach oriented spaces where people can gather, relax and enjoy being near the beach. It would be exactly as it is today No comercial shops, preserved nature and coast line as close to it's current beauty. More waking spaces and better bicycle access and parking. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I like it the way it is with minimal structures and tourist attractions. A natural reserve/park would be nice. I would love to see the a mirror image of the Cardiff Seaside Shoreline Project on the south west side with the installation of sand dune and sea-grass and wood/rope coastal fencing, beautifully maintained landscape, unobstructed ocean views, and a widing multi-use path family can enjoy safely. Some added fine dining/shops on the north east side with fire pits and designated open spaces and improved parking to enjoy the sunsets. Stress and traffic free area to experience the ocean. I think the pristine coast with what is there is what I would prefer. So many other areas have added too much retail, coffee shops and restaurants that I would enjoy the peace that our coast provides Runners, thru biking 🚴🏼‍♀️ (Oceanside to La Jolla) movement of the southbound lane but without developing a bunch of strip malls in its place. Crowded More families have access to the beach/coastline. trails, access to the beach, no commercials areas, no traffic, just people enjoying mother nature The SAME as I do today! bikes everywhere and nobody getting in their way. motor vehicles 100% banned. nature sanctuary expanded. Well if the last ten years of do nothing by Carlsbad is projected in the future we won’t have anything different. Just more erosion. However Carlsbad has the money to make it amazing yet don’t have the political courage, vision or department/CM leadership to make it happen. That is what has gotten in the way for the last decade. Gary Barberio/Skip Hammon ruined it when there was a chance. And you never recovered. Shelved all that great work and ran off the people or they retired that could have made it happen. 5,000 hotel rooms and a second class beach. Every beach has been amenities and services that any in Carlsbad. Porta Potties? Really? You finally did life guards. Good job. Step in the right direction. You have a billion dollar beach opportunity that you act and invest in like thousandaires! Figure out the return on investment. The beach supports tourism. The beach supports active healthy lifestyle. The beach supports fitness and mobility. The beach supports oneness with nature. The beach is powerful, unleash its potential. Just like the Village LEAVE IT ALONE Open beach and recreational area. Parks. Clean, thought out, architecturally unique, pedestrian friendly A two-lane road with traffic quieting measures like those used in Leucadia and a speed limit of no more than 35 miles per hour. A street meant to bring people to and from Carlsbad, not a commuter throughway. Also I would like to see the name changed to Coast Highway or at least a lot of historic 101 signage to let people know this was the original Pacific Coast Highway Traffic congestion, but more area to enjoy our coast. That it looks just like it does now. No changes it’s fine. Leave nature alone. The cliffs are eroding anyway. Anything you put there is going to erode into the sea anyway. And if developers do put something there they’re going to put cement all over the cliffs to keep them from eroding. How natural is that? There's a separation of bike path and people walking path, the beach is clean with easy access, and plenty of trash cans. There are just a few concession places. There are well spaced, clean, restroom facilities with outdoor showers to rinse the saltwater. The coast has been ruined by development. Doesn’t have the charm that it had 20 years previous. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A nature preserve: open space, unobstructed views with no commercial development. Safe cycling and pedestrian paths next to the beach. plenty of parking no rvs dogs frolicking in the surf and better parking as much of what i see now preserved for future with the understanding that it will change. Preserve the feeling you get when you feel your in a private space with nature. So no party picnicking spaces thats not preservation of existing feel. The Cars moving east Great its for the right reason. Whats with groomed lawns etc thats not preservation Carlsbad is special because it has maintained its quaint character and quality of beaches. Whatever you do, PLEASE don’t lose that! No more development Lots of open green space for picnics and watching sunsets. Ice cream shop. Place to walk that is closer to the water but not sandy. No strip malls or commercial buildings. A well-maintained, free, open space with picnic tables, playground structures, public art, and small local music concerts for families to enjoy. whales and dolphins frolicking, more trees and native plants, less cars and people beautiful environment to enjoy the ocean breeze, view, sunsets.... A peaceful green space with a path for walking, benches facing the ocean and a few small concessions serving drink, ice cream, sun dried and an unobstructed view of the ocean…. No ‘shops’ PLEASE! A dramatic improvement over current state. Open spaces to enjoy ocean views, maybe a few nice restaurants with ocean views, park space for families. Hopefully, not too much retail! Leave it alone; like it is now. The old hole in the wall tackle shop, the park by what was once our Power-plant, a nice stretch of beach to run by, the friendly neighborhoods, being able to end a run up in the village, or down by the mill food hall. I would like to see minimal addition of buildings. I think there are already enough areas w/restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc. A few are OK but we need less-developed spaces too. Nature, no commercialism, open space, fresh air and the vastness of the ocean. Serene Ocean sounds not loud people gatherings and traffic and exhaust. Similar to today with an improved traffic corridor and parking I can’t see it, because it’s off limits to humans and kept for wildlife Sitting on a chair, hopefully with shade, looking out at a beautiful coast/ocean Not too different from today. Easy access, easy parking, surfers enjoying the ocean at all times of the day. Walking paths, not build up with houses, tennis courts, picnic space, bbq space, grass soacey Keep it as natural as possible A place for walking and cycling without commercial establishments Pedestrian/ bike friendly area with some places to eat and drink. Focus is on open space Open spaces, parks, grassy areas, places to walk and enjoy nature. That it was preserved to be Old California The natural beauty of our rare coastline. I see a wide open beautiful coastline that has been untouched. Is there an area anywhere in this city that can be left untouched? People visit Carlsbad to get away from craziness and search for tranquility. Let’s leave a little space in it’s natural state without all the hotels, shops, and craziness! A large park with ocean views off of Ponto Rd & Avenida Encinas which welcomes vistiors to our great city. A small commercial area with a breakfast restaurant & a casual restaurant/bar, both with ocean views. Very Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: limited residential to preserve the land and avoid congestion and parking issues. Additional parking along the view side of the road. Just the way it is! Easy access to coast, free parking. A long trail along the coast where people can bike, walk, or run. Lots of different beach access points with available parking, bathrooms, and showers. Some limited food options like Moonlight beach has. Beaches that are well maintained with sand and artificial reefs to provide more surfing and recreational options Similar to Encinitas/Solana Beach with more green space and places to run, walk, ride bikes away from cars open space, people walking, enjoying the outdoors Please leave it the way it is. Why can't that be an option that people would adopted 20 yrs prior. Parking green belts clear view of water walkable and bikable with no obstructions by buildings. It is a natural, beautiful area It will be great, but would probably discuss how beautiful it use to be without all the development. I like the idea, but will miss the current state if developed More undeveloped ( no malls or structures except parking! ) more signals to cross. Better lighting after dark for security and safety! Safe walking and bicycling 24/7; casual and fine dining available; art; a park for children and families to gather; safe restrooms; free parking nearby but away from the beach. Better parking, bigger beach walking paths, bicycle paths; same pristine beautiful views Same as it is today, with some protections in place so walkers and joggers and bike riders could enjoy the stretch without worrying about getting hit by a car Open space a nature drive as hardly found with views with parking and restaurants on east side of hwy. Safe for family, great safety protection/cameras, great design to prevent/control crimes and Carlsbad is one of the best cities in USA to live and visit for conferences; thus, bring revenue to the city. Leave it alone. I like it as it is. An area where people would gather, walk and enjoy the beautiful coastline. I wouldn't want to see if jammed with a bunch of junky shops. I would hope that the ocean was still visible as you drive along the coast. One of the best kept secrets right now along the coast is the campground camp store! I would love to see space used for that kind of casual, "ride your bike to it" kind of place where you can sit out and enjoy the beautiful coast! I would like to see no improvement. It would be the last remaining open space left in Carlsbad. How can you improve on that? Less cars, more greenery/ open spaces, more affordable housing, walkability to bars and restaurants. This part of coast highway is like no other stretch of 101 Bike trails and unpacked walking paths exhibiting the beauty of our natural coastline habitat without commercial and residential development encroachment. Keeping old carlsbad charm and family shops and stores Open and usable walking, biking space with open views of the coast Same as it is today. There would be no further development or public parks that only serve to increase congestion and kill the natural beauty of Carlsbad. Stop trying to make your dream at the expense of ours. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: No major development along the coastline, providing great views. Dedicated bike lanes that are not sharing the road with vehicles. Nice restaurants scattered along the way. Open Parks, playground, skatepark, natural coastline, plenty of walking and biking trails. Access to surfing. A natural environment void of retail establishments. A park with nearby shops and restaurants. Bummed you ruined the natural beauty of it. Improved traffic flow, particularly during summer months. Safer bike lanes. Better walking paths. Everything is walkable. No need for cars. Spend hours by the beach doing outdoor activities and snacking on local foods Keep it as it now is. I would like to see native plants, and trees in place of the ice plant. Just a big nice park, like the one they have in Del Mar on the coast I see walking and biking paths surrounded by native California foliage on the bluff overlooking the cliff. I do not see a commercialized coastline, I see one that is sustainable for the local ecosystem and that prioritizes nature. Lots of people and traffic More of the same as the past 20 years. The beach is there to enjoy we don’t need to mess things up by adding grass fields above, let nature stay as is and don’t mess it up with man made nonsense It looks just how it is today. See the coastline People walking their dogs and children, people enjoying a coffee with unobstructed views Space to breath and enjoy nature. Allow my grandchild and there grandchildren to one day experience what the California coastline once was. Please don’t ruin our coastline for the many to satisfy the greed of the few. Pristine untouched natural beauty More like a natural place and less like a retail mall. Citizens voted down upscale mall. We don’t want to become Newport Beach. Trees and open natural looking space. Wide beaches. Walking and biking trails. More parking for visitors. No restaurants. No hotels. No Retail space. No corporate sponsored space or activities. Maybe a place for a few food vendors. Natural beauty without retail. Relaxed place to enjoy that is well maintained by the city and police with Little to none of the crime and homeless issues we have now. More distance from traffic, stable water line, nothing new added. No improvements please keep natural Exactly what we see today, the beauty of the ocean unobstructed by unnecessary structures Basically the same as now, but without the tourists Turning north from. La Costa the lagoon has an expansive bridge opening it up to its former tidal experiences. Parking for fewer cars is here, freeing up the beach somewhat. At Point there are a few areas on the east side to dine enjoy park activities. There are then undeveloped spaces interrupted by bluff/beach parking areas that are not too large and brewery/wine spots either near the beach or on parks on the east side. No large buildings, no large parking lots, no additional homes. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Scenic viewing areas, gardens, walking paths, sitting areas. Playground for kids w bike paths and convent store p I see a coastline just like today but with a road and cliffs that are structurally sound. Hopefully the only possible addition is more campgrounds and a couple sets of stairs It would be exactly as it is now Nature. Untouched. A nice long bike path away from cars. A few nice restaurants for family, middle priced. You could sit and watch sunset at these restaurants. Not too take over the entire coastline though. We would still see the ocean from the street as we bike by. Open spaces left for people to walk and stroll along the path, then stop for a bit 20 years ago I would have said leave the land alone and you wouldn’t have listened so why would I say it again. Leave the land alone, it doesn’t need to be developed. As i drove into Carlsbad from the south, i crossed La Costa and saw a beautiful Welcome to Carlsbad sigh with a park and trails with benches to sit on surrounded by restaurants, art galleries and stores. A lovely promenade of beautiful buildings, lush landscaping, enticing shops, and quality dining options…a jewel along the Carlsbad coastline. Unspoiled coastline, not touristy, no roads between the amenities and the cafe. No big hotels, or complexes or apartment blocks. Just beautiful coastline, and pleasant eating / drinking experiences where you can get a view of the sea. open air and vista of the water Natural...more green space with dedicated bike and walking paths...more places to sit...no retail shops. NO MORE condos, I would like to see more charm. The downtown has been destroyed. I like the idea of more park areas, walking paths, and bike paths. Wider sandy beach, Areas with picnic tables with toilets and showers, some cafes, more parking Open areas to walk around, path to bike on near the beach, easy beach access. It would look the same. It’s one of the only vintage and natural looking parts of the coastline left. Enough of the constant over development. Bike and walking paths A calm and natural getaway setting with a bike path through it, contrasting with the urban areas bursting with restaurants, bars, commerce. We travel this corridor all the time driving north from Leucadia. Parks with access to the beach free from cars Orientation to biking and pedestrian paths. Fewer cars that are speed limited. Park and community soccer fields on land north of Ave Encinas and east of Carlsbad Blvd. Return of sand to Ponto Beach Natural and the way it is. Bigger is not always better. Maintain what is there and leave some history and natural beauty. More crowds is not better. Stop spending the money on more revenue. Handle the homeless problem before putting in more parks along the beach Pretty much unchanged Open space and ability to see the coastline, walkable areas, green pocket parks, similar look/feel to Coastal Rail Trail in Solana Beach. Don't commercialize it. not significant change from today with a few more conviences, walking area and better parking Information about the indigenous people in a park of native plants. A butterfly /pollinator garden with a few collector for watering. Designated biking/skateboarding paths separate from the walking paths. The walking/running paths with good surfaces for shock absorption and no asphalt. (Makes the area hotter) I would want to see nature naturally preserved by LEAVING THIS AREA ALONE!!!!!! Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: More nature A walking trail along the length of the coastline, with an enclosed off-leash dog park. Parkettes along the way for children to use, and a minimal amount of small businesses that offer casual food/snacks, with sitting areas along the stretch that people can enjoy the ocean vistas Beautiful parks, picnic spaces, bike riding pathways,(not in street) but around the park. Plus, restaurant views of ocean. Wide open natural setting, with walking paths and protected bike lanes. Benches for viewing, casual dining with take out to eat and enjoy the space. A cute coffee shop/bakery for morning, afternoon pick me ups. Beach access. Beautiful plants/flowers like Montage in Laguna Beach and a big grassy area like Powerhouse Park in Del Mar. the cars separated from pedestrians and bikes Open air community space that’s vibrant with an unobstructed ocean view. scenic and NOT jammed by too many tourists.locals enjoy a relax weekend here A minimally-developed, low-density stretch of coastline with walking trails and beach access trails. Parking would be available but not in large, controlled parking lots. I don’t want it commercialized. I like it just as it is More beach- less car traffic more greens and trees Something very similar to Mission Bay Park Limited development. Keep it open. No businesses. 1. Having 2 lanes in both directions north and south, 2. Having the new 2 southbound lanes added more inland due to coastal erosion makes sense, but not removing one lane from north bound to make it southbound. There is already a lot of traffic and we don't want it to be unusable especially if you are adding more areas for more people to come to the area. 3. You will need to have extra parking, and easy entry and exit that won't stop traffic. 4. It is hard to imagine why Carlsbad needs to spend millions of dollars for developing land that most of the area is so narrow that it is not very good usable land. I like having the natural landscape. 5. I want no shops along this corridor. There is a. Not enough space as it is between the road and the houses on the east side of Carlsbad blvd. b. We don't need any shops with shops right off Avenida Encinas and downtown Carlsbad, we don't need to add traffic, shopping, and removal of nature for profit. Adding any shops along the short corridor would only take away money from the shops we already have. 6. We don't want to be a La Jolla which is terrible to visit because they choose profit over nature. Traffic there is horrible and we could easily have that in Carlsbad if you 1. take away one lane of traffic each way. 2. add shopping. Keep Carlsbad beautiful not built up. No more development along the coastline and lack of concrete steps and natural beach destruction. Either a halt as what it looks like now OR less houses, businesses, and beach destruction on the coastline. Open space on bluffs to walk, bike and sit or picnic. Paths and natural landscapes Leave it alone as it is. There are enough restaurants, stores, wineries and shops elsewhere. No need for it to be built on this beautiful stretch the roads stay the way they are with added parking places between the north and south section and a tunnel to the beach like in Sorrento Valley. A peaceful respite from a busy world. A fun walk with ocean vistas, picnics with family under the shade of a gazebo, overlooking one of the few remaining unspoiled beach areas not lost to commercialization. Improved beaches and access to the ocean. Parking NEEDS to be off of 101!!! A simple waste of value. Nothing in the way of the view. That’s what carlsbad has that other towns don’t. Everyone else has built up their coast line. We have left it for the view and for everyone to enjoy Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would like to see it the way it is My children and their families including their dogs will be able to enjoy a picnic day on the beach without parking challenges on any given day or season. I want to be able to go to the beach knowing that tourists haven’t taken up all the parking spots. A pristine shoreline with public access, parking, and absolutely ZERO commercial development. A smartly used development of the coastline that is mostly accessible to the public beyond the sand beaches and the campstore. Beautiful walk and stopped for a casual meal with great view Just what I see now, minus whatever has naturally eroded. Lots of parks with bike paths Open promenade for picnics, walking, etc. Open grassy areas to pull out a beach chair and relax. Parks with amenties like Tennis or Pickleall courts.Playgorunds for kids/ Beautiful scenic walkways and trails I would love open park areas — something like Central Park. A large open area with pockets of playgrounds, trails, walkways and food on the outskirts. Green, clean and natural. People walking along the Oceanside. Kids throwing discs for disc golf. A community park overlooking the ocean without big tall buildings around it A bunch of idiots from out of town ruining our coastal access and beaches I would see the ocean- all of it. Without obstruction. Keep views and access to the ocean. I don’t really mind that it hasn’t changed significantly from last 20 years. Driving down coast to open areas maybe a beach bar People friendly, lots of water views, enough parking for all businesses A beautiful walkway along the beach and another along the Hwy 1, with enough room for walkers/joggers/cars and bicyclists. Perhaps a small park on the east side of Hwy 1. happy healthy people enjoying the ocean scenery without fear of cars killing them In 20 years everyone would say this is beautiful because its the way I remember it!!!! Hasn't changed at all. It's all about nature NOT RETAIL! Don't ruin it like Cardiff got ruined and turned into an East Coast Beach. Hard to park, Hard to get into the beach and total look changed! Healthy, robust community use by multiple & varied users, able to enjoy w/o disturbing others’ enjoyment and use. Easy access and transition from the available transportation bringing me there to the splendor of the sea. My dream would include shuttles transporting users from remote parking to destinations all along the coast, into the village and perhaps connect with Oceanside all the way to the pier. Frequent runs with frequent stops, not a commuter line but a relaxing Sunday stroll and beach run kind of a line. Open space next to the ocean with little or no vehicular traffic. Restrooms, outdoor showers, bike paths, trails are well-maintained. One of the largest green belt coastal parks in California with sufficient parking and access to the shoreline. Open spaces with a feel of undeveloped areas. Left for people to picnic, relax, and enjoy the weather and beach. Of course parking needs to be considered. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Move the 101 East and have a walking sidewalk for everyone Bike lane right next to the water. Benches overlooking the beach. Paths going down to the water. More parking near the beaches I see the ocean from where I’m sitting on the bluff in a public area The southbound lane is moved east and the whole highway is narrower by one lane in each direction. That would prevent speeding traffic & loud cars/motorcycles and be safer for pedestrians & bicyclists. Beautiful open spaces to view the ocean, ride bikes, separate walking paths (no bikes), picnic areas Parks and recreation, food concessions. A pleasant drive down the road. pull over with easy parking. Get out of the car for a walk on the beach or beach path. Stop for a break and coffee. sit on the beach a watch the waves or take a swim. have lunch. Later go back for a nice dinner with a view of the ocean. Vibrant public realm that provides opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy the proximity to the ocean Natural pristine views. Dedicated bike lanes and walking lanes similar to Cardiff or Manhattan beach. No lights or stop signs. No retail or businesses whatsoever Safer and more pedestrian friendly Keep it the same as now. Stull untouched beauty. NO DEVELOPMENT PERIOD. It would be just as it is without shops or more hotels Open green space, fields, picnic areas BBQ, gathering areas for families, a park, (think bluffs at salt creek beach in OC), dog park area, nice wide bike lanes I would see a large park like atmosphere , with dining, shopping, benches to relax on, water fountains to throw a penny in, ice cream shop, small gift stores, where families will enjoy going to. My vision is a little like the San Clement Pier. It would be the Carlsbad coast park. LEAVE IT ALONE! Efficient two-lane each way (N and S) traffic. Separated bike lane and a multi-use trail. Wide green space with native habitat and maybe a single coffee cart. Areas to play sports like pickleball Minimal restaurants and shops to reduce traffic a nice casual place to get out for a bit and enjoy some peace and quiet parks, openness, natural feel, no congestion, no crowds Be able to proudly take family members and friends to visit there often. clear view of ocean. My dog and i went for a walk on the beach. It was awesome. Beautiful landscaping, sweeping ocean views, lovely sit down casual restaurants overlooking the Pacific, easy beach access, plenty of parking, cyclists kept away from pedestrians, plenty of car parking. NO STRIP MALLS. NO EATERIES NO MIX USE SHOPS OR CONDOS I see open space-park-like setting on the coastline Restaurants entertainment venue maybe some light music As before, better parking! The same as it is today. No development. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Bathrooms A great place to spend time with family and friends. Out of town people come to Carlsbad as a vacation destination No airplanes overhead and no dogs. keep existing charm. no development - to keep views intact. bike and running and walking friendly. free parking along the coast as much as possible. Just like today but with more camping. No commercial A handful of restaurants and shops (almost like the stretch of Cardiff between KI's and Las Olas) but also with trails set off PCH for easy hiking, walking and biking. Non congested parking lots. All the above but with some open space (grassy park like areas for people and animals). park setting like other Carlsbad park - Alga Norte or Poinsettia Park A sidewalk that ran parallel to the ocean that connected back to downtown Carlsbad. An area to park my car, to allow me to enjoy the beautiful views. Places to sit or get a coffee and just relax. Put the retail on the east side of the highway so that the coastline can be enjoyed - kind of like in Huntington Beach. HB has tons of (awesome) retail and dining, but complete access to and view of the beach. I see the beach and lots of people enjoying the actual beach in Carlsbad! I can the beach and access it easily. No apartments or condos. No retail stores. Bike paths. Natural beauty! I see it the way it is now—beautiful, unobstructed views, hardly any congestion, no buildings, no parks (there are parks Frye there down each way) Available safe parking, bike path, sidewalks w/trash cans & dog poo bags available, retail stores & restaurants, a destination to go with beach amenities, dog play area No retail and more green space and preservation of the natural environment and people getting to enjoy the natural beauty of the coast. Parking areas along the coast above the bluffs where folks can go and enjoy the early morning hours and the sunsets; quiet serenity of a beach environment Looks like it does today Open Beauty views no buildings I would see unobstructed beautiful coastline. And if I wanted to pull over and watch sunset, I could. It’s beautiful and perfect. If it’s not broken…. You know the rest. Sidewalks or walking paths (sort of like the Rail Trail in Cardiff), a small grass park, fun restaurants that you can walk to after a day at the beach, clean and well-maintained...all developed in an environmentally sustainable way. Adapted for expected sea level rise, so that it is still accessible. I would be very unhappy to see it changed I still want to view the natural coastline and beach areas unobstructed by revenue generating businesses or housing As nature intended. Left alone. Cleaner water with less plastic. We need the equivalent of The World Famous and The Lahaina Beach House in PB or like Jake's in Del Mar - we don't have anything on the beach up here. Something like Powerhouse Park in Del Mar would be nice addition. drive, park and ride my bike safely I would like to see mature trees on the east side to shield the freeway and city sights and noise. Also, native plants and walking paths would be great. A restaurant that takes advantage of the view would be very popular as long as it has a variety of options, including vegetarian. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Areas to walk on pavement and sit and watch the ocean. No shops, restaurants or hotels. quiet, peaceful, easy walking, no ugly signs nor distractions not too developed but maintaing that low key, kick back feel, with some access to the beach, a comfortable place to sit, nice landscape, some grass maybe, a few flowers, but not over developed. a palce to grab a casual bite to eat with a view! That view is amazing so dining establishments on the inland side and paths for walking with a restroom or two along the way. Why does it take 20 years? We started these discussions 10 years ago and Gary Barberio screwed up the progress. Open space and parklike access to beach. Open with no structures. Grass, benches, some small themed creative art and free parking. more places to eat with a ocean more parking same as it is now It has the same views, peacefulness, and unspoiled, naturalness. I see a park with a playground for kids, picnic tables, open grass area, restrooms and pickleball courts An open area full of wildlife. Clean air and no cars ELECTRIC or otherwise Walker pedestrian friendly maintained open space and lack of congestion of businesses People enjoying a park, restaurants, walk ing the trail along the west side of 101, watching the ocean from benches along the bluff, with no big hotels. Nature Clean sandy beaches with free parking. Open area with bike lanes and walking paths Park areas with dining options and well defined bicyle and walking areas As mentioned above a mix of wild coastline with curated access points and areas to enjoy. To keep the area pristine and beautiful by adding designated areas to sit, run dogs, steps down, etc. This is an amazing area and I am lucky to call Terramar home! The natural space cannot be improved upon. Protect our coast Two fine dining restaurants and an area of small curio and sundry shops and casual restaurants and ice creams parlors, with parking and beach access in the north part. I would like to see it exactly as it is now (with the usual road maintenance). nature with VERY LITTLE development, places for kids and families to play, access to the beach. NOT LIKE mission beach Maintain views of the water and public accessibility. No businesses and no residences. A natural open landscape with a slow road. Give us a glimpse of what the natural coastline would be without us. No retail. A place to stop and have a peaceful time walking and sitting. me riding my bike I see wide open car lines with beautiful landscape and sage areas for people to exercise, walk and ride their bike ability to enjoy the ocean without the noise of traffic, maybe just the noise of children at the playground and the sound of waves crashing on the beach. A nice mix of low activity and tranquail opportunities. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: It looks the same as it does now, with some improved parking Open space/park, unobstructed open views of sand & sea, easy access to down to the beach. I see areas were people are having a picnic and enjoying their ice cream. I see children playing in their play areas. I see bike enthusiast congregated and having a rest while enjoying a coffee. Lots of open space and a great view of the Ocean! parking with access to the beach, no more stinky camping, large campers & vans not allowed to park in auto parking but in separate, well monitored areas Milkweed plants for Monarchs to flock to, a good non-paved bike park for kids to play in (see McKay Broomfield Bike Park in Broomfield CO), a playground on the beach similar to Moonlight, great walking trails, trash/recycle containers trails, indigenous beauty, beach access, recreational areas what is being proposed is not an improvement. Leave it as it is. So little of real California coast left It being exactly as it is today. Do not develop and make it a commercial, overdeveloped (more than it already is today) coast area. Dedicated Walking and bicycle paths, separate from vehicle blvd Series of parks and parking areas with views of the ocean and lagoon. Hiking trails and picnic areas with public restrooms (automated like ones we saw in New Zealand). No commercial business, there are plenty a short ways inland. Easy access to a natural area without playgrounds that can exist elsewhere. A place where locals can just sit and enjoy the water and sand and views. I don’t want the area to have commercial outlets of any kind. That would draw tourists and create garbage. I don’t want to face East and see tall buildings that block the skyline. I want to smell the ocean air. More nature more pathways for people to walk along area safely, more dog friendly areas to walk Hwy 101 would allow ample space for cars, bicycles and pedestrians, each in their own dedicated space. I do not like shared lanes where cars must yield to bikes. It is distracted driving for all. I love the vibe and feel of Carlsbad especially since i was born and raised there and want to remain unchanged to maintain the soul of the city Plenty of free parking close to the water I visualize a park setting like the area around the Tamarack bathrooms: grass, benches, a place for the people to congregate and take bad pix of the beautiful sunset. Plenty of parking spaces and safe access to the beach with casual food and beverage options and public toilets . Integration of scenic view with dining/entertainment, lots of bikers/joggers/walkers and dog park. Rural, open, preserved, bucolic all on an oceanfront unmolested by commercial activities and the greed which is typical of southern California city governments. Fun place to hang outside and picnic same as today. the street has been moved & a park has been created Happy people and dogs! I see a coastline that invites local residents as well as tourists to spend time at the beach enjoying the natural beauty. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: It'd still be one of the only original-condition N-S sections along the North County Coast Highway corridor. Everything mentioned in the other part of the survey. Not over developed but with a couple ocean view dining options w good local, casual food (we all know leucadia has the best food, so maybe keep rents low for restaurants). please keep the charm of a small town. don't turn it into the OC. Do the opposite of what encinitas is doing. less is more. Open like it is now and not clogged with retail and other businesses, houses etc. Pristine as it is! Open space without traffic and noise Easy and free access to the 3 miles coastline (ie., a boardwalk) to enjoy sunbathing, running, biking, skating and watching sunsets. Public area similar to that in La Jolla - open grassy areas with some services such as restrooms. It would seem retro, due to a quaint village-like atmosphere, but be up to date in terms of infrastructure, design and planning. Here's what I don't want to see or experience: 1. strip malls or other retail stores 2. cell towers I would like to visit a beautiful public park area at the Southwestern Carlsbad beach area. I think the simple beachside feel - the fact that it is not developed with all kinds of businesses and the ease of getting to and from is what has attracted me for all the time I've been here - Sind 1998 Hopefully it be undeveloped and look just like it does now. Locals and tourists walking along the coast stopping at local shops to eat, drink coffee, or just sit on a bench and enjoy the beautiful ocean view. Green space, a long connected walking path/area, more parking options Open space with very little building. What is great about Carlsbad is the beach...not development There are no cars directly on the coast. A few small shops. Open space. Native plant parks. Walking and biking trails. A small shuttle that runs frequently to points of access to the coast and back to inland parking areas. Happy families. A lovely view. A relaxing way to spend the day I like it like it is now. Experience the natural beauty -- do not disturb / destroy the natural beauty. Enjoy Mother Nature's creation. A well-developed trails/ walking environment that is safe, clean I would like there to be safe places to walk and enjoy the view. I would not want to see it built up with stores and restaurants. An unbuilt, left alone coastline. Nothing would be better than to see NOTHING built along the coast. We don't have a lot of Southern California coastline left that is NOT built up!!! Please do not build shops, food stands, or anything that will ruin the current beauty!! Leave it alone! Families coming without struggle finding parking. Parents with small children playing on the playground. Seniors using the exercise stations while visiting with each other. Friends and family are picnicking. Couple sitting at the benches and talking. While the bicycles zoom by and walkers, runners have their own lane. I see it as “everyone’s front porch” There is a wide trail that I can walk along the ocean from LaCosta Avenue into downtown Carlsbad. There is an area for me to park my car on that trail head. Left open space as much as possible. Park like settings restroom facilities Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I love the proposed project and its vision! If I’m alive in 20 years and this project becomes reality as proposed, I would see and experience what is envisioned by the creators of this project. I live in Carmel Valley but I worked (and my wife now works) in Carlsbad. I ride my bike along the coast every weekend. And we frequently eat in the Carlsbad restaurants along the coast. All back to nature with only a few trails like in Cambria - there’s land that used to belong to a large farm. The community bought it and it’s all natural seasside and just a few trails with one wide enough for bikes sandy beach & open space & nothing else I see the ocean complimented by lush, green parks and walkways. A place to quench my thirst or a snack as I stroll along. Openess, less congestion, nature priority Bike lane walking path ice cream & coffee shop plenty of parking for beach right hand turn lane on Avenida Encinas at PCH NO HIGH BUILDINGS ocean view from street nice median like it is by Hanover Beach enforcement of Batiquos Lagoon preserve rules to protect the terns no parking by the lagoon open and maintained but not commercialized Easy to park and walk - less traffic and cars. Seaside terraces with views. Drive further from the ocean Safety for bikes and pedestrians. No building structures to block the pristine views of the sea and beach. Spend money on maintenance of, cleanliness of and preservation of a rare strip of coastline. I personally think the space from poinsettia to la costa Ave is one of the few remaining natural coastlines in SD county. An opportunity to embrace that with free parking, open access to the beach or grass park area similar to La Jolla shores and north Tamarak and Cannon Park. Few sport courts and playground areas. FREE Parking for all to enjoy. Exactly like it is now….don’t change it into leucadia No shops, not public spaces, no homeless encampments Parking and nothing else - think Bolsa Chica in HB. Still undeveloped with minimal foot print. unspoiled! Please don't develop this too much. There is so little coastline left that is undeveloped. A gorgeous walking path where you can exercise safely and enjoy our gorgeous coast I see that the City has made it easier to access our beaches, but not added unnecessary retail in open spaces. I see that the city is focused on preserving our coastline and bluff maintenance. I would have a boardwalk before the beach for people to walk on. And behind that shops and restaurants. With lights decorating outside. Maybe a place for live music. The natural beauty of the coastline. I love the vibe and convenience at Moonlight beach facilities. It feels like a much more walkable area. It would be great if there were parking lots with trolley shuttle service away from the beach area. I would like to be able to spend several hours because we can get meals in between. Looks like it always did. Hasn't been screwed up like the rest of the coastline. Less stress Looks like a reserve. No shops/food/retail/apartments. Quiet space to walk and learn about ecosystems. No southbound road, fewer cars, and the rest virtually untouched! Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A beautiful 2 lane 101 close to the Sea and no I-5 to hear and smell and see. Bad planning 50 yrs ago to put a huge Freeway so close to the Ocean. Lots of places to sit/ride/run to enjoy the coastline peacefully without the fear of homeless/transient people. Dining with an ocean view Pristine beaches with little or no trash. A public restroom and shower. A dog park. No commercialism. wide sidewalks on each side of PCH. South Carlsbad's coast needs a significant City Park for all the south Carlsbad citizens and visitors and this park should be a true park, not a fancy sidewalk. I see walking and biking paths. Picnic areas with unobstructed views. I see not one single restaurant or shop or other developed areas. The campgrounds are still the only developed areas on the coastline. It is beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. I would see a huge expanse of grass, benches and tables. Nothing would obstruct the ocean views and breezes. I could bike down the coast with my husband and son, free of traffic, like the Encinitas coastal trail but wider, and enjoy the beach and beautiful views I'd love to see it natural with more parking A nice place to bring family for a stroll along the coast. A few restaurants featuring outside dining or ocean views. Added parks OK, but left as natural as possible, minimal businesses. I love that it is a respite from the busy built up roads all around us.Keep 2 lanes of highway each direction. Leave it alone. A very happy and friendly place to visit. Lots of love going around. Nice people. Lots of parking and beach area to view people enjoying the beach and walking paths, and plenty of parking Minimal development. Open space with food walking biking access. Left to nature as most as possible. Ocean and beach I like the way it is now Left ALONE so we have an IOTA of unadulterated nature. More walking and community spaces More walking areas and continued easy access to the coastline. Open space a beach town with restaurants and shops Calm with a park in the south end. Avenida Encinas.coast hwy Better walking trials and leaving the natural landscape There are enough shops/restaurants north and south of this area. Make it more accessible for walkers & bikers while maintaining two lanes of traffic. A place to park, get out and go for a walk along the coast without fear of getting run over by a car or listening to a loud one drive by. Stop and get a drink or dinner without a roadway between my table and the ocean. I see it being left as is. Don’t modify it. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Open green spaces with trails for hiking and biking. Restoration of native plants and wild habitat. Same natural state. No improvements added. I’d like to see the land looking exactly as it looks today. Sandy beaches and a tunnel or bridge to get there I could walk or run from La Costa Avenue to Palomar Airport Road and back, without stopping. I could picnic and enjoy the views. Looks like the upgraded areas in Cardiff / Encinitas. Polished appearance like that of Dana Point. Safe crossings across Carlsbad Blvd / 101 for beach access local walkers and bikers. More walkability, not just more car access. Maybe golf cart exclusive parking instead of car parking. Want a community that prioritizes local enjoyment and access. A walking trail w access to parking, coastal views, and a brewery/rental shop on east side w pedestrian bridge access I see what I see 20 years prior. The piece of land that was there the whole time. We have plenty of parks and stores everywhere else, why do we have to add it here? slower traffic, easier parking without fear of causing accident, broad sidewalks to walk /bike lanes, eating lunch on picnic tables Just maintain and update the building structures. I wouldn’t change a thing. People love the charm of a seaside village. Don’t commercialize it. Views and access to the ocean. they corrected the interchange at PAR/BLVD. Provided parking for beachgoers with safe ped crossing. clean beach at Ponto; no rocks See art and parks. Small food/specialties stores. Walking trails. Kids playing areas. Small restaurants and open spaces/botanical gardens. Nothing over one story. As natural as possible. Another flush bathroom would be I'd want. Remove the ports potties. Eye sore n stink a nice boardwalk, easy parking, little coffee shops and wine bars, clean restrooms, grassy area to do picnics, trees for shade Plenty of dining options with dedicated pedestrian and bike paths. Beautiful park area with flowers and green grass. Where concerts or picnics could occur. Happy people I look just the same Not much change from today. Maybe some convenience/specialty stores, but not Seaport Village or Huntington Beach. Some sort of separation of cars/trucks and bikes and pedestrians. Perhaps a raised road where vehicles travel and a ground level pathway for bikes, walkers, skaters, etc. A way for a 80 year old to easily access the beach and enjoy it! I’ll be dead. Clean and not crowded with shops and restaurants I would see it much the same. I’ve lived in north county all my life. I’ve lived in carlsbad for the last 19 years. What makes carlsbad so special is the family village vibe we have. If it gets too built up, we will lose that family atmosphere. My husband and I chose to raise our children here because of how family friendly this city is. Keeping the coast free of buildings and retail keeps it that way. When I take the coast, I want to see it. We drive the coast all the time. The part I dislike the most is in Encinitas. You can’t see the coast! Then coastline has a lot to do with that, obviously. The premise is still the same. If you move 3 miles of the coast road inland, you won’t see what you drove to see, the coast. A section of the beach that would be dog friendly, Safe bike lanes, casual dining options. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Leave it alone !!!!! Carlsbad coastline is perfect the way it is now. In 20 years I hope I would see the same coastline. Landscaped park with walking/ bike trails, picnic areas near car park with food vendors in one area near car park. If it changes I will be depressed and and wonder who is really in charge of our future? Developers? Do not touch the coastal areas. I would like to clearly see the open ocean, with designated bike paths & walking trails. I do not want to see a row of shops & restaurants blocking the open view of the ocean! There’s no houses or structures built just to make rich people richer. Open space without development. That what used to make abort County so special, what separates it from LA and Orange County. Walking/ biking paths would be lovely. Additional open space along the coastline for walking, biking, picnicking with limited low profile buildings that do not disrupt the view and open feel- similar to the campstore at S. Carlsbad State Beach Commercial enterprises (e.g., eateries) set back from beach/bluff, with public open space, parks, trails along the ocean front. Stairs and ADA ramps providing access to beach. Traffic calming on 101. Possibly a live performance space. Terramar, Turnarounds, Dip in the Road surf spots un-touched. Traffic relief going North from Palomar Airport to Downtown on weekends Beautiful beach and easy access to the beach. Open space, natural environment. The beautiful ocean and natural landscape As much open space and as little car traffic as possible. Nature preserve areas for coastal birds.. like north of seaside in cardiff. Large bike lane and walking lanes. Zero restaurants and other retail stores. Keep the coast natural and leep the stores in the village. A romantic shaded park where kids can take a date and watch the sunset. a place to park, stroll, and enjoy sunshine at a small bistro with a view of the ocean. Very little traffic noise I see it exactly how it is today I'd experience the coast as it is today. Untouched by greed for more, more, more. Parks and open space for local residents to enjoy and not be overcrowded A place to visit for the day, walk around , eat, and shop. Nice areas of park and grass to sit and enjoy The environment Easy free parking, an area to walk and enjoy the coast, grab a coffee or a bite to eat. I think it would be great if it were open space that could be enjoyed for exercise (biking, walking, yoga) and events that changed daily: farmers markets, catering trucks, outdoor music/concerts, dancing, and local artists. I’ve always thought the area need food for families that want to spend the day but I imagined it on the beach side for convenience. families enjoying the beach and coastal area I would keep it exactly as is. Why can’t we build/develop the items you suggest on the existing land?? Not overpopulated with people places and things. It’s beautiful just the way it is. It would be great open space to stroll, picnic, play with the family with the same beautiful views of the Pacific Beautiful coastline park w no shops or buildings. Natural habitat and easy access to beaches. Big walkway for walkers separate lane for bikes. No traffic next to walkways. Peaceful More restaurants Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I see open space, great views and no shops. I see the capability to enjoy the beach by bike or hike Visually appealing, clean. Impressive restrooms. Safe access to beach. Access for pedestrians, bikers, dog walkers. Slow traffic, parking options. A safe place to take my grandkids on a nice long bike ride or a long walk away from traffic. Nothing commercial per se, unless it’s a swimming pool Carlsbad has a unique ocean parklike setting that invites residents and visitors alike to stop, enjoy and relax along the ocean. It's unique performance area allows for gatherings to enjoy music, performance and the arts. The venue is a favorite spot for artists to paint and share their work, from painting to jewelry and handcrafts. The setting of green grass and beautiful trees allows for enjoying the ocean without having to trek to the sandy beach nearby, but still having easy acccess. The park setting is a truly unique and special place along California's coastline. Unobstructed coastline view. Runners, riders, walkers, rollerbladers safely moving in their respective lanes. People lounging and playing in designated spots. Beautiful flora and natural plants. No commerce. It would look exactly like it does now. The same with additional parking A continuous line of parks and walkways along the beach with unobstructed views of the ocean and 100% total beach access. Very little change, if any Open space no vehicles, place to sit and watch the ocean and sun set, Fine dinning with ocean view, all food locations should have ocean view. Isn't that what attracts people to the area? A community that values the people who LIVE in Carlsbad. Public restrooms are kept clean, good security is n place, druggies and homeless r not allowed to enter. Might have to have passes for residents of Carlsbad who will b paying for this and charge a small fee for tourists to enjoy. We don’t want more homeless and druggies in our town. We want to increase sales tax revenue for our city. Bike and walking trails, benches, picnic tables. Nature preserve A pedestrian friendly beach experience. Some scenic views from bars Sound and sight of the ocean. clean open park area free of stores/buildings/billboards, enjoyed free of charge by the local community and visitors alike Beautiful house unadulterated coast line. We do NOT need more dense housing/retail. You have already allowed our lovely little village to be raped by developers. Please do not destroy our coastline as well Cars, cyclists, walkers/runners all moving along without dodging each other and no traffic jams. The beach is wider and sand isn’t disappearing..a safer place to bring toddler to play at the beach Not having any commercial or industrial buildings!!!! Peaceful, beautiful, natural surroundings with unobstructed views of the ocean. Listening to the sounds of the ocean while walking on natural paths with native foliage. Stopping to admire the views while sitting on benches with backs (for seniors). I’m filled with pride at the natural beauty I can spend time with my kids and grandkids in a beautiful and fun spot like moonlight beach There are light services so you don’t have to leave to get food while you visit but natural beauty has led the design There is something special and unique to carlsbad, it’s not a copy of either Oceanside or moonlight beach Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Exactly the same, untouched natural habitats Still a natural and wild coastline but with safe areas to walk and bike. Not commercialized and busy for tourists! I’m saddened that it has to change. There is just nowhere in SoCal that is just the beach and water anymore. It’s all a money making pipeline. I hope I’m 20 years it’s just the same - and people can just enjoy the beach and all that comes with it. There is more than enough shopping and restaurants in Encinitas and Carlsbad. If you absolutely has to do something to make the city money put one restaurant (on the beach) - casual, can wear flip flops but full service (not fast food style). When I look west I see an undeveloped view of the ocean and marsh lands I see kids frolicking around with their pets on the beach while one parent might take them up the hill to get some food and sit and watch the other parent go surfing. The parent surfing might then be able to see their family waving/dancing/cheering from the grassy cliff side rather than the eye-level point of view from the ocean to the sand beach. There might be street performers stunting from the grass to the beach… Towering palm trees, clean beach and limited parked cars and people destroying it! a park with grass and trees, maybe a beach volleyball court and some bathrooms. That's it. Keeping the history of Carlsbad and not putting in shops and restaurants that bring more traffic and people. The same, non-commericalized nature scape. PLEASE DO NOT ADD COMMERCE to this pristine stretch of heaven! Please do not have money/ profit gains drive this decision, but instead environmental impact 20 yrs from now. Mostly green & naturally landscaped, with pathways and benches, and an amphitheater style space that can be leased to private parties for events An area safe for people to enjoy the natural beauty of Carlsbad and coexisting with the nature of the area. I don’t know, but an area where people can be outside walking/running, picnicking, bicycling, etc Family friendly area that caters to locals and visitors. More open space for use, some new restaurants, and access to free parking for surfing. An uninterrupted running and hiking trail Free space, no shop and restaurants or commercial things. Keep space open for people to jog, walk and enjoy natural beauty Similar to the Solana Beach concept, but better, and completely connected (without detours or crossings) to Leucadia streetscape, and La Costa Ave. A place where you can stroll with your family (all ages), and/or run/bike with delightful surroundings and total safety from car traffic More people enjoying our beautiful and safe city. greater access and parking Pretty much like it is except the new hotel in Leucadia fell off the bluff in an earthquake and disappeared Families riding bikes and jogging down the coastline. Simple and quaint places to eat (more food court style) with open area to picnic or eat outside and enjoy the views. No bikes no homeless and more parking for me to access the ocean It’s the way it is now. I would like it to feel more like Cardiff. I’d like a really good walking path, nice public restrooms, nice restaurants and better parking. In some areas the lanes widened to 2 lanes, and in some areas the lanes narrowed allowing more room for bikes, walking paths. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: access to beach and adequate parking safely away from beach erosion risks Open natural space, NO over priced trendy restaurants, clean parks, running/walking trail, beach access. Stop building! Keep the wetlands for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. No more roads. Open space free of cars and traffic. Safe and dedicated walking and bicycle trails with views of the ocean. No new buildings or retail to clutter up our beautiful coastline. No "improvements". keep it natural. We don't want Encinitas or Huntington Beach. A children's playground, a dog park, an interactive area for exercise for adults More area to walk Still has open feel with better beach access and more opportunities for safe walking and biking. Natural landscape with no buildings Nothing has changed Space for biking without cars, place to walk my dog, without compromising the fragility of the coastline and coming climate problems (rising sea level) I’m strolling along the coastline, on a path safe from cliff hazards but close enough to see the whitewash and far away from cars. I’d hope it would be as it is now. I find plenty of the proposed offerings close by. A place where I could relax at a beach bar and enjoy a cocktail. not overbuilt. not touristy. but user friendly meaning there would be rentals, snack bar, maybe a boardwalk People enjoying beach year-round. Walkers, bikers, place for dogs. Picnic areas, parks. No cars. Trolley /easy access transit from east San Diego and south of us. Locally owned shops and restaurants (no chains) I love the accessibility of the beach, its truly for everyone! Campground is beautifully maintained and perfect for a sunset walk. Village of carlsbad offer different options whether you're up for fine dining or casual eateries. I see that the City listened to the citizens, didn't develop it with shops etc continued to leave it natural - moved the road and the campground to the east and we're honest with the citizens about sea level rise and continued to place sand on the beach so that we still have a beach A coastal city with beach amenities which is on par with some of the nicer beaches of Orange County. More desirable and spacious. Lots of tourist and other revenue for the city from all the income. It should be a little more than now but not too overdeveloped with bars and such which will spoil the name of Carlsbad being a family friendly and quiet beach town, Continued openness, and calm traffic Lots of open space some good food and bathroom options in thoughtful low lying buildings. Options for people to use outdoor space differently. Absolutely no new retail/shopping/outlets. Definitely a Bike park and Pump track like the one in St George Utah Views and access to the ocean. Places to gather, both retail and natural A continuation of the “boardwalk” hiking paths currently to the north Where did the only last stretch of quiet natural shoreline in Carlsbad go? They already have acrobats, sunset crowds, shops, dogs waste, and sideways everywhere else in the city. A few trails, bathrooms, and benches would have been just enough. Easy access On the beach and parking Bike lanes that people feel safe using. Trails, preservation of ocean views, bathrooms Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: pristine coast, natural vegetation, pedestrian and bike friendly, some places to hang out, dine and enjoy the views Still low development, no additional resorts, just open space for recreation or hanging out with friends and family. The coastline left alone. Just like it is. the continuation of the great ambiance that existed in Carlsbad and its comparatively wide open natural condition of the late 1940's walking trails around the lagoon bike trails next to coast Unfettered view on the ocean without new buildings and a clean street with grassy areas to walk with dogs, lots of clean sand, swimmers, surfers and fishing on or near the jetty A large beach space that doesn’t disappear at high tide, thick native plants, birds, quiet Someone in any mobility device could move around all of Carlsbad with enough room to enjoy it. There would be less/no noise and exhaust from all the ICE cars, instead the cars would be electric or people would be on mass transport or bikes. There would be space for scooters, skateboards too, not just bikes, pedestrians. LESS PARKING No development. Bike and hiking trails. Nature walks. Preservation. That traffic has been moved farther in which could be bad fro those residents currently living along that area. Hiking paths and a medium priced restaurant with views. I enjoy driving Carlsbad Blvd at least once or twice a week. I always enjoy the views that come from driving so close to the beach as possible. About the same but with a few ocean view restaurants. mostly what is is today, no future businesses or housing to litter our coastline A park atmosphere, no vendors (we already have the camp store), just more open space, walking path, bike lane There is some development of restaurants, coffee shops and the like so that when I am enjoying the day, I can get a bite to eat. We are always looking for places with outdoor seating to grab a glass of wine or some food. However, a lot of the space is still pretty open so that the view and the ability to find space for walks and sunsets is preserved. I think having nice, big playground space would be wonderful too—we love to have the option to take our kids to play in a setting that’s also enjoyable for the parents. And it would be great to be able to enjoy the coast more without going to the beach every time. I would be riding my bike along the scenic strand, not worrying about traffic and able to stop for a casual drink or bite to eat with casual outdoor seating with a view of the ocean. Raw land. You can never get the undeveloped areas back once ruined by development. It's a beautiful park with a skatepark area with shade and lights, a concession stand, a playground for the kids with shade. Think Venice Beach Skatepark meets Alga Norte Park. Stop developing every little piece of our town That it felt and looked like the black and white pictures you see of Carlsbad 100 yrs ago.. Don't do what Oceanside did down town.. Separate walking paths from bike lanes, dog friendly portion of the beach, small bar/ restaurant that’s dog friendly The south bound lanes of the street are moved back away from the coast. There is more designated parking nearby, possibly on the east side of Carlsbad Blvd. There are more walking paths. Some green area between the street and the coast. And more options for accessing the beach. A green area at the top of the cliffs as a vista point would also be nice. Well. I think it is fine as it is. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: No more hotels or expansive development or housing. Things that are natural enhancements to the landscape I would like there to be usable areas for families and children to be outdoors and for walkers and bicyclists to be safe. Well maintained parks, trails, and beaches. I would like to see more land preserved. Beautiful open grass spaces, parks, lots of kids playing, clear view of the ocean, free parking near safe walking paths. I see a coastline that is preserved, what is left of it, without more development. The space is open and mostly natural for people to enjoy. I absolutely do not want to have shops, retail, parking lots, or anything like Moonlight Beach No retail, hotel, restaurants - open space only. No changes, stop over developing our coastline. A Natural space with minimal development. Small boutique stores or resturants in specific locations. Trees and parks. Similiar to Del Mar on the water More traffic as I drive southbound, without the view. Keep PCH along the coast Making the assumption that humans make wise moves to mitigate climate change, the first being to reduce human population peacefully, the land would be much like it was when I first visited it in 1955, devoid of any kind of human "gentrification". Lots of people riding bikes, walking, enjoying nature. Beautiful parks, nice casual places to eat. A small outdoor theater with music. Leave it natural. No shops, restaurants, tourist destinations. We have more than enough of those already. It looks like it does in 2022. 20 years from now I will be in heaven Walking paths and picnic areas - NO DEVELOPMENT OF Businesses Ample parking with easy access to walkway. Beautiful environment that encourages healthy activities amid spectacular views and lush landscaping The way it is today Green space with walking paths, picnic tables and playground equipment. Family friendly, iconic Large grass areas with open areas, tables for picnic, kites, jogging and walking trails Natural shoreline with nice shops and restaurants with north south traffic on i5 Would prefer open spaces/parks with a couple small food concessions to lots more shops/restaurants The Carlsbad vibe. Ocean views with people relaxing watching the surfers Just the way it is!! The beauty of south Carlsbad is that it remains relatively untouched, a rare finding in San Diego county. It is a breath of fresh air that will be destroyed if this project moves forward. More plants. No developments. Seemingly “untouched” Restrooms & wide sidewalks for walking Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I’d like to spend the day hanging out there. Currently beaches are great. I like the open parking. But, there’s nothing else to do. You just drive through quickly. Need done parks, playgrounds and restaurants or retail grouped together to hang out at. Same Beautiful views of the oceans Colorful/Artsy board walk with decorative/architectural sculptures along the beach. A grassy park with beautiful landscaping, picnic tables and benches. A FEW restaurants right on the beach that offer delicious foods. Clean showers and bathrooms. Parking lots that can accommodate a large amount of car with discounted rate for Carlsbad residents. I'd like to see artistry and additional amenities along the beach for Carlsbad Residents but without retails, hotels, and entertainments that may bring crowds from outside of Carlsbad, which take away the joy and pride from Carlsbad residents and defeat the purpose of "improvements" Cars parked away from the beach with trail from Terramar to Ponto Beach. Was a firemen in Half Moon Bay for 20 years and their board walk and trail was front and center I don’t of the state park. MOVE the campground sites back 30 feet off the bluff and have a trail for all campers and visitors to enjoy. The trail in HMB was SO popular for everyone. We have room to move the campground sites 30-40’ east toward Carlsbad Blvd. Basically, the trail would be above the bluffs from Terramar to Ponto with benches a public restroom and a few picnic tables for all to enjoy. Cardiff state park has the trail o front of the sites too. Step it io Carlsbad! Delmar has a great little grassy walk, but Cbad has got so much more open space dont blow it! This is all we have left. Open space with less business and buildings. Think downtown does a good job of that. I can get great food, relax with my family, be able to go for a nice walk with a good view of the beach and not have to worry about finding a place to park Protected lanes for bikers and runners or walkers… Family and Community Recreational Activities and Staying Fit...Outdoor roller skating rink..fun stuff Clean, safe, easy access to beach with some shops for food and drink Lots of parks, accessible beach and the road is tucked away, instead of being the focal point/dominating factor The open beach, the open ocean view, people on foot or bike enjoying the natural beauty of the coastline. Less buildings and more marshland A Nice place to walk , eat and meet your friends Coastline protected from further erosion with preservation and enhancement of natural beauty with native plants and walking trails, beach stairs The ability to walk along an ocean promenade or walkway that would resemble the stretch of land between tamarack and Carlsbad village drive the beach Friendly, family atmosphere, alive and busy with locals and visitor enjoying our beautiful city Family areas , kids areas I would like to see no changes to the beach, but addition of safe parking along the road that did not allow RV's. An improvement would be more restaurants on the east side of Carlsbad Blvd. that beach visitors could use after a day at the beach. A safe place to spend the day and enjoy the natural beauty of our city. People come from all over the world to vacation on our Riviera. A system of unpaved trails interconnecting from inland to the coast I live on this route right on Carlsbad Blvd. I would love to see limitations on the speed and noise that is created. There are contant vehicles that speed and upset the tranquility of the area. It's hard to hear the ocean with the Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: intense traffic. It would be amazing to limit traffic substantially and try to keep things as natural as possible allowing for people to enjoy the coastline. Things like speed bumps would slow traffic and encourage people who are in a hurry to use alternate routes. This way people could enjoy the beauty of the area and not just fly by as fast as possible. I don't think more stores or development will help with these goals. Nice walking paths with ocean views and easy access to the ocean should be the primary focus. It would still be a peaceful drive along Carlsbad Boulevard with no homes or shops or restaurants to obstruct the view. This stretch of coastline is one of the last of its kind and loved by carlsbad residents. Compared to the same coastlines of Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas where you can’t even see the ocean through the thick hedge of homes, buildings, stores and restaurants, our stretch of Carlsbad coastline is a piece of heaven on earth! Please don’t change this gem! I would love a “Carlsbad Village South“ but one that stretches north and south along the water, and has plenty of condos with ocean views. develop Ponto Park and connect to the narrows park Great views, close to the cliff side, with full safe pedestrian access along the corridor but preserving the current non commercial character of the corridor for many years I have talked to my husband about how Carlsbad has missed out on restaurants and boutiques with a view. I have envisioned a experience in Carlsbad that does not exist yet, but could You can walk down to the beach or walk/ride your bike along the boardwalk. You can stop for a bite to eat or to look in some shops. You can also plan a nice date night out at a restaurant with a view Of the water The openness and beauty as it is today. The previous page does not describe something that isn’t already available in downtown Carlsbad or Encinitas. We don’t need more shopping or dining. If you are trying to preserve open spaces why would you ask people if they want more shopping And dining? How is that preserving for all to enjoy? The same as it is now Open area with more parking further away from beach and allowing walking trails, picnic and access to the beach. No more retail. Open area please. Beautiful area for walking, retail not needed, monitor traffic and crowds. More parking would be great. Don’t turn it into a dog area. That would ruin it. As it is, guests from Seapoint Resort use that land in front of it as a dog area and there’s dog mess there all the time. Still has the beautiful view of the ocean, lots of safe biking and hiking trail access, with improved LEGAL parking without homeless and transient motorhomes taking up the spaces. Limited vehicular traffic, more sand beach. Limited commercial development Safe cliffs, grassy knolls; dogs allowed on the beach; no cars, because they would be parked underground, trams to take people to and from; trees, lots of benches and picnic tables. Dedicated cycling lanes, dedicated pedestrian lanes, cycling rest stops with repairs And water A part of the city that preserves nature and let’s residents enjoy it without cars I see a beautiful coastal drive with walkers above shoreline in natural space openness and walking/biking trails and easy parking access. I would like to see it landscaped with low growing trees. A beach, similar to the Carlsbad area north of here, with a sidewalk area for walking, and easy access to the beach, as well as adequate parking. Well maintained, open and free (kind of like today...don't change a thing) no strip malls. open areas available to the public to picnic, hike, and enjoy the beach. As much open space as possible with a network of walking and biking trails. I would see lots of happy individuals, families and friends enjoying our beautiful natural resource and getting exercise Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Calming, beautiful ocean views, family friendly and affordable not high end and a non alcoholic area no bars , beers, and no criminal beer drinker bikers. Low density with access to beach for the family More Restaurants, picnic tables, public restrooms, bbq stations, gazebos, playgrounds The natural untouched beauty of the coast line I want it to remain the way it is now. But I know it won’t. It will be developed, become crowded, & similar to all other touristy beach communities. Open coastline with beach access for outdoor activities not more shops, restaurants, etc. there’s enough of that in town already. We do t need more traffic and congestion. A place where families can come and spend the day- with amenities such as bathrooms and shops, food and the beach. A playground and picnic areas that feel safe and allow us to enjoy the view of the beautiful coastline Clean beaches, with the sound of the ocean waves and seagulls overhead. A grass part up top with picnic areas as well as benches to watch surfers, volleyball games, dolphins. More palm trees like Moonlight Beach in Encinitas -- and clean/monitored bathrooms! Plus some community events -- yoga classes on the grass, family movies, concerts in the park, etc. Maybe an extention of farmer's market, but more with local artisans selling goods, rather than foods. A beautiful park overlookin* the ocean Walking trails around the golf course or around a pickleball court. Walking park with large bike lanes Keep it the way it is Separate bike lanes and reduced traffic Park-like setting (grass/trees/benches/tables), lots of paths and walking, bike lanes, clean bathrooms, some concessions, all attracting lots of people and their pets. Maybe a small outdoor amphitheater for outdoor concerts/music and local gatherings. Small area for chess/cards/games...... … Leave it without any commercial development Celebration of Carlsbad history mixed in with outdoor family activity space and local artisan foods. Lighthouse as an iconic Carlsbad skyline piece. A designated walking path, finished/continuous pavement. An open area to walk around with unobstructed ocean views with easy access parking. Easy parking and enjoying a fine dining meal with a nice view to the ocean . ABSOLUTELY NO COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES Just as I described above. Long stretches of peaceful, natural coastline views not cluttered with businesses, shopping centers, hotels and housing developments, with designated walking paths and access to beaches to maintain Carlsbad beach town vibe that people want to visit to relax and enjoy the coastal nature. They can shop in the Forum or Company Stores, or other strip malls already built in the city. Perhaps focus on making the old Westfield Mall an outdoor shopping center with smaller stores like a Santa Monica Place experience or a smaller scale UTC. Beautiful ocean views while walking or biking along the coast, benches to sit and rest, trees for shade, no skateboards, roller skates, etc, no retail, no restaurants - just a restroom that blends into the landscape. Keep the area as untouched and natural as possible. It is a gem that we should treasure, not destroy. unlike our neighbors to the north & south, Carlsbad has maintained at least a few inches of open natural space to preserve the quality of life that makes this place unique. Keep it the same Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Road moved away from the coastline only 1 lane each way with separate bike lane. Grass parks with bbq's, tables, fire pits and only a small concession stand. Free parking by road and walk to park. Do not put any buildings, restaurants or structures except bathrooms. Keep It Simply Simple (KISS). Thanks for reading Views of the ocean while driving and walking. Previous answers plus remove the awful hotel Accessibility to the beach, nice landscape, parking, outdoor showers and restrooms A vibrant community with a variety of retail/restaurants that are very trend. Very aesthetic architecture, and scenic sights all around. People not in cars or on ebikes walking and enjoying life I’m sure you can sense my opinion. Please do t ignore the feelings of locals. Please respect the small stretch of coastline left that has no need to be developed. The ocean would be front and center. Parks for families, including a dog park. Walking and bike trails. I would like this area to a nature area. No development. No hotels, No restaurants. No shops. No bars. I do not want Carlsbad to look like Encinitas or Oceanside, which are too built up. No change We can experience the natural coast line which is a very healthy environment and the lagoons are doing well and have a few conveniences and easy access. It is natural, not crowded, preserved... Natural space where my family and I can observe nature and it’s wildlife IN A PRESERVE NO JUNK SHOPS AND NO FOOD Lots of families using the space. Sports, biking, soccer. Easy access to beach Trails away from traffic Casual restaurant on beach Easy parking. Brewery or wine tasting with outdoor seating and perfect ocean view. Another coffee bar with perfect view Coastline Some active recreation, some scenic viewpoints, some exercise equipment, interesting walking, biking, and running trails, a few wildlife-attracting native plant areas with low speed trails and several benches for wildlife watching and for mental health. Keep it the way it is, if you want development go to Oceanside It would still mostly be the same so that it retains the character that it always has had and has not become some congested, upscale area that the lack of adherence to the growth plan has caused in the rest of Carlsbad. You can experience the wildlife/nature of the area. I’d like to see some open areas for leisure, like parks and fields. We have enough restaurants and shops. We do not need more. And definitely NOT another hotel Not too overdeveloped but have some options to dine at the beach. A lot of shady areas and walking paths with lot of nature that is more natural than manicured. I’d like to sit sit and read or just breathe. A kids playground. Picture something very similar to Torrey Pines State Park. Pristine in all it's natural beauty. Open trails leading down to the coastline & beaches. Sunsets, surfing, water sports, walkers, hikers, and just happy people enjoying nature. Walkable park like atmosphere Natural vegetation. No man made obstructions. The natural beach, like Camp Pendleton. Undeveloped. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: There are always people there, day or night. At night, the coastline is well lit. People ride on bikes or roller skates moving along while others enjoy themselves inside restaurants looking out at the waves. Kids lose themselves in games and some are even bowling. On the beach, couples walk hand-in-hand as if nothing else matters. An area where people can be active outdoors and enjoy the coastline without clutter from a bunch of retail businesses. Parks and open spaces Walking along a well-developed pathway through the edge of the coastline wetlands, designed to be part of the landscape and not as a wildlife corridor wall. Not as developed as the Oceanside Harbor, which is way too built up and touristy. Not as open-wound raw and abandoned as the Cardiff beach concrete slab ruins. Beach recreation hub Open, no hotels or homes Unchanged and natural I see a piece of land preserved with minimal development. People walking or jogging in a quiet, non=commercial environment with children being able to experience a grassy, natural site Carlsbad being considered a forward thinking city accentuating it's crown jewel. Paying homage to Old Coastal California with the CBad Campgrounds as the backdrop. Laidback/casual atmosphere like Buccaneer, Harbor Fish Cafe & others. Well maintained and manicured landscaping and street scape that enhances the beach experience. Better access to beaches with better parking. Nice retail within walking distance of beaches You presume it needs improvement. No invasive species evident. Open space and a natural non commercial coastline. No trash evident. more nature, less buildings! Pretty walkways, plants. Bike paths spectate from pedestrians sculptures. Casual meeting places. Picnic tables, arches over walks. Arbors I like it the way it is. Unchanged would be best. A place to leave the car at home and safely walk or cycle to local shops, eateries, and parks. A dog friendly beach a beach. It will need improvements Hopefully it will look as it does today. Nature is a beautiful thing and should not be always touched by humans developing Same as now Green foliage, open views, walking paths, lots of public art, sitting areas, picnic areas, accessible and attractive beach entrances. Coastal Rail Trail, separated from Coast Highway - as it is in Solana Beach (check into "bike paths" in Europe to see how it is done correctly!), dedicated walking paths that are not a part of the bicycle paths, parks with restroom facilities, easy access to the beach/ocean. I would experience a delightful walk viewing the ocean and the flowers along the path. I would be able to visit little shops and small restaurants . We just had the best time of our life’s in Carlsbad. We went to Legoland and someone told us about the Sunset View park. The kids played for hours while we enjoyed the breweries. Even Max our dog loved the dog park. Their was live music, a skatepark, and a small open air type of artisan market. It’s a jewel and unique in the world. We will definitely come back and tell our friends Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Natural scenery Coastal native plants, beach and sunset views, be able to use the beach. Similar to a state park, maybe a playground for children. No shops, restaurants, fancy restaurants, condos, hotels, or pavement. So little of our natural coastal landscape is left and is just getting crowded out with development. I would love into be able to enjoy nature. It is proven to improve peoples health and more sustainable. There are not many natural spaces left in Southern California. Open and with limited access to the beach. It seems it is easy to make a retail/food/consumer space that draws tourists and the masses. However I would love to see something that conveys the vibe of Carlsbad while preserving the nature and access for people who want to take in the beauty of the ocean without having to buy a latte or frozen yogurt. A place that feels like it belongs to the residents of Carlsbad and welcomes visitors into our special place. I'd like to see it as it is today. It looks like Malibu Hopefully not too many changes. Less homeless and less drug dealing would be nice. More restaurants, more parking, lots of sand More rail trail. People leisurely enjoying the view and having option to be active. No traffic. Parking available. Natural and less developed I hope there is no development. Keep the natural beauty. The chaparral, wild squirrels, the moving sand, the sound of waves breaking, the solitude!!! This is why South Carlsbad are the beaches I love!!! Say no to more mini malls or corporate structures and hotels!!! Safe and fun destination to take my grandchildren. Maybe we will ride bikes from our home in La Costa Oaks. There will be good bike racks to secure our bikes. We will enjoy the beach and buy lunch and snacks. Leave it alone so that families can enjoy it. Take out roads and that horrific Ponto hotel. Let the local wildlife live so that we can enjoy it with our family for years to come. We don't need anymore concrete, buildings, greed, etc. It would be a safe open space area with clean beaches and a few new places to enjoy food or treats A long walking path, park and green areas for picnics, childrens area, bike path away from traffic. Seating along the way Wide paths for two way foot/bike traffic No shops Maybe a dog beach or dark park area UNSPOILED COASTLINE Safe mobility. Beautiful parks. Small vendors. Walking paths. Big green space, lots of residents and visitors safely enjoying the area! Ocean for everyone! basically a „central park“ of NY in Carlsbad California flair!!! lush, open space, athletic opportunities, safe space for family (playground), small casual retailers, mobile coffee bike trailers, space for art for children,…a place which unites the residents!!! Integrated space for biking, surfing, walking and eating Safe biking paths that connect to other roads but are separated from traffic Parks and walking areas like Del Mar but not too built up like Mission Beach. It still feels open and natural. Nature. A walking path, biking. Untouched and the beauty of untouched nature Usage space with parking, shopping, eating The sights, sounds and smells of the coast- not the noise and air pollution from a lot of cars Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: The same open and mostly undeveloped coast, no trailer park communities or storage facilities. Some green parks on the hills overlooking the beach and ocean, and a very select few restaurants near the water. We agree we need to move the road back from the ocean. The land should be mostly parks, berms, and other resilient infrastructure - and not stores and other structures that would create economic pressures to use unwise and even harmful (and often ineffective) sea rise “controls” like sea walls. Beyond that, we are too new to the city to offer much more comment. Beachfront community where there are more people on foot and bike than in cars. Grass and trees adjacent to the beach (see Seagrove Park in Del Mar). No large parking lots. Nearby casual eateries & cafes, but nothing extremely upscale/exclusive. The community is a place where people want to go to the beach but also want to spend time even if they aren't going to lie in the sand. I see a nice paved walking path and a separate bike path and a walkway over the lagoon Hiking along ocean - tons of plant life - small restaurants with farm to table foods ~ super natural environment- or no restaurant preserving nature Just as it is. Do not build west of the road!!! Same open space just more accessible and safe for pedestrians, beach access and bike riding I would want it to stay mostly the same, though if needed, any natural habitat restoration would be great. I would not want any sort of light pollution. Like quiet non commercial space I would like the spot to remain quiet, to be an open space for coastal sagebrush and native species. Oceanfront casual dining, walking/running path, and leave some nature intact Thanks to the elimination of petroleum-based fuels and adoptions of emissions-free alternatives worldwide, the skies are pristine and smell of flowers and greenery. The sharp salt tang of the ocean lapping the sand of the Carlsbad shore permeates the herbaceous smells that fill the air, and clouds hand low in the late spring sky. Looking around, she sees no cars, just a couple of bikes resting against a hill of sand. The little houses are there, painted bright colors this year. The only sounds: the crash of the waves as they tumble as they do over themselves and spread over the shore. No cars, none of that awful squeaking and grinding of rubber on asphalt. After Legoland was relocated to La Jolla in 2034, the Company Stores' business dried up and the glorified outdoor mall shut down. Tourist traffic disappeared within weeks, just like it was 1987 again. The stretch of golden sand rocked on. Open spaces with natural beauty preserved, we have the village for built up areas and restaurants The same thing I see and experience today. Not busy. Well landscaped families enjoying sand & surf and parking close by so they don't have to lug umbrellas, cooler, chair, and children for a great distance - which they do now. A running/walking trail, clean beaches and protected coastline Bike/running path, brewery, winery, parks, beach access I’d love to see the 101 with very few cars especially on the weekends. That way kids, families, dogs, cyclists, runners & walker could all be out enjoying its beauty safely. There would be nothing commercial or retail built on the west side. Native plants, some retail/residential and a safe walking path like in Encinitas and Solana Beach on the east side. there would be more greenery around the road. it would be a more pedestrian centered space, with shops and seating. people would be able to easily go between green space, walking paths, the beach, and restaurants and shops. there would be a parking lot to prevent the need to park in the street or take up business parking. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Ocean views while driving and open parks, picnic areas for walking and biking…all on the ocean side. Restaurants and stores on the east side of Carlsbad Blvd having ocean views but not blocking the views from a car. A walkable open an adaptable space built for the citizens and visitors to enjoy. No commercialized establishments, but rather a small version of New York’s redeveloped westside promenades That the So. bound lanes on Carlsbad Blvd. are still in place and that there is adequate parking at the beach. No change. There are hardly any undeveloped areas anymore A park like setting with grass, trees, walkways, bicycle paths and lots of open space. Walkways through undeveloped areas of native habitat that encourage exercise and environmental awareness and discourage vehicle use. I experience the wonder and beauty of the natural world, the coast, the ocean, the lagoons, the native flora and fauna. I ride my bike from my home near holiday park along with my friends and family members to enjoy the marvel that is the vast pacific to enjoy each others company. open space I see something like the La Jolla cove but more walking path. No cars allowed and parking offsite. The Carlsbad Blvd would have a separate bike lane and pedestrian lane away from street traffic. The coastline would be unobstructed just like now from development. There would be people sitting on designated benches to watch the sun set on the beach. Well, I don't think I'll be around in 20 years, but lets say 10 ;) good traffic flow north to south along the coast along with ample spaces for pedestrians/runners/walkers/dogs/bicycles to enjoy the ocean view. Little commercial development and the clutter that brings with it. NO HOMELESS CAMPS!!!! Please leave it alone!!! It's why we're here now. It's why people will love it in 20 + years. Why do you think it needs to be changed? The coast highway is sufficient but not inefficient for the traffic flow. What good is a park if there no parking and heavy traffic. If there is no parking how will businesses survive. Use the city funds to widen Pio Pico north of Las Flores. Somedays there is barely one lane to get thru with all the parked cars. Leave it as it is. We don’t need more attraction to the coastline. This is apparently to benefit businesses and profit. More ocean front dining/entertainment but small and cute with throwback beach blanket bingo vibes. No over development of the coastline. I love that I can walk around the area freely. I don't have to worry about cars or parking because a shuttle can take me to the coast from a parking garage. I like that it is safe for kids and pets. I like that we can exist near the ocean. Very little improvements as I like it teh way ist is today. Small quiet family friendly retail and restaurant area with low-key brewery or bar overlooking the ocean with day time activities available, electric rental bike accessible and plenty of accessible walking routes. Able to soak up the view, surrounding and atmosphere Mostly open space with two lanes of traffic calmed to 20 MPH on the eastern boundary with single lane roundabouts at every intersection, numerous pedestrian crossings, and a 24' wide class 1 Coastal Rail Trail near the western boundary. The PAR connection to CB Blvd would be a single lane roundabout and the saved land used for parking and parks Just like it was 20 years prior. No new development, re-opening batiquitos lagoon to the ocean. I see and experience an unpopulated, uncrowded coastal area that has not been turned into a city full of people and businesses but continues to be undeveloped, gorgeous coastline for local people to enjoy Mostly nature, protected reserve, spaces to park my car, resto/coffee shop with ocean view Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Probably one of the last spots in Carlsbad that wasn't overdeveloped. And it would be nice to have a part of Carlsbad that caters to residents and not just another tourist attraction. Families enjoying themselves, people walking their dogs, wild life commingle with area As much undeveloped natural coastline as possible. Nature, beaches, maybe some periodic benches and tables. NO BUSINESS or BUILDINGS, etc… More beach, more nature, more trees, less pollution, less building and less pavement. The beauty of the coast line is its nature and that is the biggest draw to the coast, not pavement Walking pavilion with restaurants, coffee, etc. and a walking trail Lots of public space with equitable access walk on the beach and enjoying quiet time away from craziness in the city One vehicle lane in each direction with very wide buffered Class II bike lanes in each direction. Slow vehicle speeds. More walking trails atop bluff. Separated bike and walking paths. I see what is there now. There are places with more families, groups playing beach volleyball or surfing…there is usually plenty of space to find a chill spot and relax to meditate, do yoga, walk along or jog the beach ocean. I wish I could jog with my leashed animal. Otherwise, I would be sad if it were any different. There is no reason to commercialize or weaken the natural coastline as it is. Stop trying to sell and capitalize on this…if people want Santa Monica, they are welcome to go there. If they want Oceanside, it’s close enough by and they can go there. The uniqueness of some level of quiet and y disturbed is what makes Carlsbad great and unique walking trails, biking lanes, bbq's, picnic areas, basketball and volleyball courts, food concessions, areas to host art shows, concerts. Additional access points to the beach. Sand replenishment at the beach. Removal of South Carlsbad State campground and improvements over those areas to benefit the local citizens. I would see that the coastline is natural, free of public services, and has not changed a bit since 20 years before. Any change and addition of infrastructure is detrimental to its attractiveness and will lead me to frequent it less often. Large park area with small shops/food. Lookout areas with parking and restrooms. Visually looks similar and still has a quiet, community feel, but with more affordable housing options and a few options for high quality dining (doesn’t have to be fancy but prefer not snack bar type food) Just like it is now!! More beach parking and beach access Park like environment The same as it is today. We should let future generations enjoy this scenic drive. As a dermatologist volunteer, I am heading towards an open air shelter with nearby restrooms where there are regularly scheduled skin cancer screenings conducted by community physicians. Sometimes this pavilion is used for musical performances and can be reserved for other events. I have parked my car in the shopping area where I can return to do a little grocery and souvenir shopping after my screening. It is convenient to take a foot path which is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers to walk to the beach. There is a dedicated shelter for aquatic learning for a lifetime nearby -starting with toddlers and swim lessons, continuing to disabled people having surfing lessons and people of all ages learning to be lifeguards. I stop by the lifeguard tower which has its own private composting toilet for the lifeguards and a first aid station, to remind the lifeguards to come in for their routine skin checks. Then I make my way down to the smoothie stand and get a little snack before proceeding to the Skin Cancer Screening area. I pause in front of the public sunscreen dispenser and reapply a coat of SPF 50 before beginning my volunteer shift. As I leave the beach at sunset, I pass by the fire pits and make my way back to my car via s lighted path. I don’t like the changes that are being made. With the all the development that’s going on. Carlsbad is losing it’s charm Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would be too old to access it without my vehicle. This proposal discriminates against senior citizens who need their cars and want to enjoy the ocean. What about all the people who park along there? Where will they park for beach access? What about the one-lane northbound and southbound traffic that is currently the 2-lane northbound 101 traffic? How is that going to work? Big quesiton: Why don't you publicize whose idea this is??? Lots of sand. Tide comes in too far now especially at Ponto Beach. People playing volleyball. Firepits at night with families roasting marshmallows. NO DEVELOPMENT, NO RESTAURANTS, NO RETAIL, NO BARS, IT SHOULD BE LIKE CARMEL'S 17 MILE DRIVE WITHOUT FANCY HOMES OR DEVELOPMENT OF ANY KIND. I like it just as is. Free parking, it’s calm, no fancy frills. I genuinely like some of the suggestions, but they exist already within a few miles of this place. It’s already unique as is. A nice open space beautified with a carved out walking path, benches, maybe beach/ocean inspired sculptures. Maybe a small coffee/snack hut but not too large that it obstructs views. Coastal views with open space for picnics and walking/bike paths and some restaurants and snack shops for convenience Better parking and access to the beach from the east side of the street A pity Good question! It would be a beautiful walk through nature with trails, perhaps quaint boutiques, an artist colony, parks, restaurants, and places for my grandchildren to play. The ocean, beach and wide open space to just experience and enjoy nature as it was intended. Little to no development in an already crowded coastline. Parkland no cars Same as today. No changes. The same coast line I have enjoyed for the last 40 years It looks the same as it does today. Fun, relaxed, family friendly environment Fun beach experience Kind of the same. Except safer passage for bikes/ joggers. Maybe a picnic/ park area? I’d love to still see the beautiful uninterrupted views Expansive park like atmosphere with emphasis on outdoors, minimal buildings. Great restaurant and brewery Safe, clean and homeless free zone. Well planned out walking and biking trails, eateries with ocean views, and specialty foods like ice cream and better parking Less crowded... I like it as it is. Keep it clean and well maintained. No need for more construction. You are destroying Carlsbad. Natural. Don’t fuck it up There is a beautiful hiking trail along the bluffs, and a separate bike lane. There is still a well-maintained public restroom near where the the parking area used to be (so convenient). The area has well-maintained native vegetation and is not blighted by any commercial development. I am happy that the City was wise and banned development from this section of our coastline, preserving the beauty that we have enjoyed for many years. Open undeveloped coast. Stop trying to make Carlsbad like Los Angeles. Preserve what we have left. unobstructed ocean views with no buildings no commercial Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would see people walking/exercising/eating and enjoying the coastline. I think it would be similar to the sea wall walkway along the north Carlsbad coast. Fun and relaxing. A place where anyone can enjoy nature Get rid of overhead power/telephone facilities. beautify the State Beaches/Camp areas. Get a match-up with Encinitas and Oceanside as to how Old 101 is used by cars, bikes, walkers and bird watchers. have been traveling this highway since the the 1930's and the dramatic changes needed to fulfill our vision of the future will require some mature thinking! Leave it unchanged and do not attract crowds More green open spaces. Oceanfront bars and restaurants. Make it similar to where “Jake’s” is in Del Mar - community beach and dining / brunch places right on the water. As much natural open space as possible with safe bike lanes (not like the dangerous sharrow lanes between Cardiff and Solana Beach!). Keep retail out of this stretch. It doesn’t look too different than it is right now. It may have a pedestrian path and a place for dogs to run. undeveloped, unspoiled, no shops, bars, restaurants, clubs, convenience stores, tourist traps, etc. Ocean and the waves. While the road being moved would be fine, I would not want stores or restaurants to ruin the view. Nice native plants and flowers. Lots of free parking , with space in between, boardwalk areas, bike paths. A park like setting with parking or easy walking access so people can enjoy the space during the day. A park by the beach. My feeling is that you have Carlsbad village to the north and a booming bar/ brewery/ night scene in Encinitas to the south. I think it’s ok to NOT develop this stretch of land. A carefully and aesthetically designed coastline with a pathway to the beach that preserves the bluff from erosion. Seating areas to watch the sunsets from. Perhaps a plaza with small shops, coffee house or two and affordable restaurants. strand and bike path similar to Manhattan Beach Look at ALL beaches from LA to SD. Nearly all have dining & other commercial touristy things. Carlsbad has always offered a great mix-between the village & resorts. Embrace what’s special about Carlsbad & preserve the natural beaches & coastline: More parking for the beach Minimize development Keep the lay back feeling Reduce traffic speed hw1 narrow. bike and walking paths separate from hwy. coffee shop, easy access to wide beach Why does it need "improvement"? The coastline is fine as-is. We don't need commerce and man made attractions along every inch of our coast; it's beautiful in its natural state! I would want to see the natural costal dune ecosystem preserved for future generations to enjoy. There's plenty of coastline commercial development in the village or to the south in Encinitas. no change! The beauty of Carlsbad is its simplicity. so happy that a community decide on nature over development... plenty of places to shop or eat... nature is one of a kind. Less cars, but the same open, undeveloped, natural land. My grandchildren and I are able to walk to the beach safely. there is a lot less car traffic as there is a two lane road, and lots of open space, mixed with some pockets of retail and art spaces Exactly as the proposal states with access to parks, safe biking and running areas, clean restrooms, places to enjoy the view. Part of Carlsbad’s charm is that it is not as developed as Encinitas which has become over Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: crowded and the natural coast line has been too interrupted. I would not support developments of shopping areas and such however would enjoy more open outdoor areas for all the enjoy. Undeveloped landscape. Natural open space. walking paths. benches for sitting and relaxing, looking the ocean. Access to the beach. Nature. Open areas without a bunch of concrete, trash, shops and ppl doing bad things! Just what I saw 20 years ago It would remain untouched Like to see it as it is today. Beauty, nature, unobtrusive supporting services, amenities and retail/restaurants I think it would be great to try to cater to both locals and tourists. Bars and booze are not the answer, but a few casual dining spots along with some convenience type places with parking and a more defined area for pedestrians. I would guess this would entail either reducing the lanes of traffic, or using the parking lots that are there now. Unfortunately, I am not sure what this vision looks like including the camp sites and of course the natural beauty of the environment. Walking along the route would be great, perhaps similar to the village boardwalk, the view is not compromised, though this would be an expensive "nice to have". Land no building. Open space is beautiful. A concrete city is cold Family friendly park and playground with amazing ocean views. Locally owned Casual restaurants, cafe's, ice cream shops, etc. I would like to see a tree lined walkway with people biking and walking and running without any stores, shops and condos being squished into every last bit of open space . I cringe to think what it will be like in 20 years. The development is out of control and it will be so crowded I probably won't even get to beach because of the traffic. The city planners are not thinking ahead about the quality of life. To see the area returned to a natural state, with public access to enjoy the surrounding area Natural coastline beach access as is Feb 2022. A clean open space to walk with my dogs and enjoy beach and sunset An area designed for the community use with focus on mature and the natural beauty of the area. Shopping limited and only to food/drink and recreational rentals Natural open space to walk, surf, relax and enjoy the beach area. Clean and no homeless and no low income housings at the area. A beautiful coastal park similar to Torrey Pines State Park that has a path for cycling, hiking trails, and close parking/transit access. Focused on the outdoors, recreation and the sea. Not developed. I would love for some of the coastal open space to be turned into a park Lots of open space for outdoor enjoyment. Not overly developed. The Village has plenty of dining and retail. This should be more outdoor related. The beautiful ocean, without any changes A continuation of the boardwalk I would like to have a conservation and enhanced natural habitat I would experience a preserved and I disturbed coastline with a walking path It looks the same as it does now. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: The campsites would be gone so there would be fewer low-income visitors to interfere with Carlsbad residents enjoying their beach. There would still be no facilities or commercial establishments to attract out of state visitors. After pulling into a parking spot on the east side of Carlsbad Blvd, I opened the car door to the sound of crashing waves and calling gulls. I made my way to the sandy trail overlooking the bluffs and walked for a 2 mile stretch, enjoying a break from the din San Diego of traffic, before I turned around. Between the walking path and bike path, which was east of me. native plants bloomed. A bicyclist waved, a few families made their way down the bluff stairs to enjoy the beach at low tide, and a few ladies sat at a bench chatting and enjoying a cup of coffee from the coffee kiosk by the entrance. This is one pocket of preserved paradise and simplicity in San Diego County that has kept me living here another 20 years. Boardwalk, development, lower taxes, and a far more business friendly environment A balance of maintains the beauty that nature does a great job all by herself while allowing open access to beaches, parks, open spaces. Although enough space for walkers, runners and bikers to all enjoy their time without bothering each other. Offer gathering places with food and other activities. I’d also like to see the ability to have nighttime activities, like fires again in the beach. Most importantly, it needs to be safe and well maintained A lot more parking. No rock littered beaches where my feet are in pain getting to the water and having big rocks slammed against my feet by waves. CMON MAN!! More space for people to be outside. South Carlsbad blvd in front of the campground has become a green belt for community gathering, walks, perhaps a playground. South and north of the state beach have a little more of a downtown feel with small businesses. We don't need to clutter it with shops and businesses. Keep it natural. Beautiful bluffs and natural access to beaches; not built up with businesses Historical south coast 101 as it were in 1950’s. Casual travel with beautiful coastal views unhindered with spandex clothes groups of bicyclists. It’s been a lot if impregnen but it’s always room for more Leave it as is ! no one wants anything to change stop it your destroying the beach community Mentally unstable intoxicated unsheltered all in affordable housing with intervention services nearby where unemployed life is affordable: the IE. A cop posted at a mini-station every 1000 yards. Open space in every direction. Private vehicles cruising well maintained 2 lane roads that have nearly no traffic lights or signals. Bicycle only roads adjacent to the freeway. Zero new retail, development, or building construction of any type. All e-bikes on e-bike only ‘pay to ride’ toll paths. That nasty waste water plant, that constantly stinks up the entirety of the area from Poinsettia Park to the ocean, decommissioned and replaced with a new waste water facility between the Shoppes st Carlsbad and the 78. The land of the current waste water facility returns to a pristine native habitat reserve. Natural coastal experience Natural coastline with no further development I would like to see very little change. I think it's great the way it is. Let's keep it from over developing!!! Larger beach and no visible parking. Finally, a city left the space open instead of bowing to business interests. Dogs are on the beach. People are enjoying bonfires or portable fire pits Peaceful walk through the park to get to the beach to walk some more. There would be benches to stop and view the beauty. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Very limited commercial establishments, low key, beautiful pristine shore line, limited noise A peaceful healthy coast line The same thing I see right now. I see people gathering and enjoying time with each other. Kids playing. Areas for everyone to enjoy: playgrounds for kids, coffee places by the ocean, restaurants etc… Recreational area with animals I really don't want this to be Moonlight Beach! Too many people, too much trouble, not the local special vibe we have now. It is a special area and I don not want it to change. Please don't; we don't need that. The view was not changed. There was places to sit and enjoy the view with friend. It is not over run with shops and restaurants. I don’t want to see it developed but leave as naturally as possible Untouched except for bike and walking paths no commercial businesses Green space sculpture garden Wild life preserves People enjoying the magnificent views while enjoying activities like picnicking, attending art and music events, water sports, bicycle paths, footpaths. I can still ride my bicycle or drive my car within 20 ft of the high tide line. Clean, safe, no bums. Open space,not built up like La Jolla and Orange County Beautiful multi use buildings with family oriented restaurants bike rentals ice cream retail shops etc The same as it is today - no buildings to.detract from the natural beauty. Just like it is now. Unspoiled landscape with free parking. Bike lanes and grass areas to picnic. less parking lots, more conservation. I really pray you guys don't add anything. I would cry if there was a starbucks or qwick e mart anywhere along the south Carlsbad coast. please don't add parks or green belts, the beach is what we are here for, they would look cheap compared to the natural beauty. A beautiful coastline with open area, parks and plenty of walking trails. not much different than now, but with traffic calming measures to keep commuters on the freeways through this stretch Beautiful place to vacation or for residents to enjoy. Natural landscapes with beautiful flowers and designated parks/recreation areas as well as bike walkway paths and more restrooms along the stretch of coast Little kids playing at the playground and their parents relaxing on the grassy side near the beach.. people walking and exercising.. Open space, view to the ocean, beautiful scenery people walking and riding bikes I would hate to see it all built up with shops and/or eateries thus increasing traffic and causing congestion. Would like for it to remain as is with a dedicated walking path. Being able to get there(drive & park or free trolley), walk, ride bike, sit & read in shade, get a snack. Plenty of parking and otherwise wide open nature space for all to enjoy. Eliminate large resorts and build a park where they are located. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Beachgoers, bike riders, hikers, enjoying the area safely. People playing with their dogs on the shore (did dog park) and in the surf. High end hotels and restaurants. Walking paths. High end boutiques More free parking o the west side of Highway 101, and a park similar to Holiday Park in between west and east lanes. Landscaped for park like access with pedestrian walkways and picnic / benches. No retail so as to retain the natural beauty. 4 lanes of traffic rather than the upcoming traffic nightmare in Leucadia. No roundabouts. Open sight lines. Bikes kept away from traffic - not by narrowing or eliminating driving lanes. Climate appropriate landscaping. calmness Beautiful intentional open space with walking paths, biking paths, playgrounds, access to the beach, and recreational space I would love for it still to have the coast feel but with more experiences that you could access by foot from the beach. People riding bikes and walking on cliffs. Families hanging out on cliffs eating/playing. No junkies passed out A beautiful park with picnic tables grass sun and shade and a walking path Just a little more development. Not much because I like that Carlsbad isn’t Oceanside. But Carlsbad could use a little something. Better running/biking. And a couple of restaurants sound great. A single lane of traffic in each direction, 40mph or lower, with parallel parking, a divided margin, a bike lane, and a walking path. Accessible beaches with no stairs in some places. There is nothing to improve. Stop destroying it. Stop compromising our coastline, environment and stop being greedy by enforcing ridiculous fees. We,the citizens, have had enough! Probably just leave it the way it is Let's say it stays the same. No big buildings next to the coast. open land......easy beach access Less traffic A nice walking / bike trail along the scenic cliffs No change I see little-to-no beach-side parking and light rail that can take you up and down the coast. Currents roads and open spaces are converted to parks and protected bicycle infrastructure for people who enjoy e-biking and riding along the beach. Small town coastal road- Leave it just the way it is Bottom line. Maintain the public utilities. Put the focus on local needs for community not tourists. What I would hope to see is coastal community that prides themselves for maintaining natural environment and not allowing more retail on the coast. People enjoying being outside or relaxing I honestly think it’s sad to build up every last inch of our beautiful coastline. I’d prefer it stay the way it is. The ocean would still be easily accessible. One or two concession stands. It is a destination for people to spend days and evenings hanging at the beach, strolling or biking to grab some dinner at a nearby restaurant. There is a playground (or several) for kids to play at when they need a break from the cold ocean and bathrooms are easily accessible all along the coast. Easy to access parking without taking away from the green space/beach access. Pretty much like between Cannon and CV drive Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: The road moved slightly to help with erosion only. Leave the beauty of what it has been for the last 60 years ! NO MORE BUILDING FOR GODS SAKE! Stop! We can’t breathe with the pollution of the I-5 expansion. The council has no business adding more businesses or recreation to the coastline. trails for walking and biking. A pleasant drive along the ocean and the beach. That the city kept the in I-developed look and how bold that was. Parks, trails, snack bars, more sand at the beach Sweeping vistas of the natural coastal one without development championing the foresight the public had for future generations. I’m strolling on a street that’s lined with quaint bistro’s, unique coffee shops, local boutiques, and lots of outdoor dining. I would see the full expanse of the ocean, just like I see now, with NO homes, restaurants, retail shops, hotels or condos blocking my view! A lot more people enjoying that stretch of beach as they do along the northern section of the boulevard in Carlsbad Village An expanse of open land. Maybe a linear park. How do you create something more beautiful than what God created The unspoiled beach and drive we have! North and south of us is commercially overcrowded, and families have to walk long distances to reach the beachfront. People having a good time!!! An area that is not developed but keeps the natural beauty and coastline pristine and visible. Environmental protection in place to preserve the natural habitats and wildlife. Locals being able to enjoy the place they call home with access to the beaches they pay for through taxes. Arts, galleries, culture, busking with music in the streets, diversity, outdoor cafes with healthy, affordable food options, easy access parking, safety for older folks, paved walkways, good lighting at night, well designed buildings and most of all a sense of community with outdoor places to sit and play chess or Bocci. Water features! Cute striped cabanas and matching beach chairs in the sand, a paved loop that parallels the beach on one side and meanders inland. Inside that loop would be a clamshell stage area flanked by bike and surfboard rental shops and a small sundry shop on one side and farmers market stalls on the other. At the far end of the bike and skating path would be a grassy area (for yoga) with a small footbridge to a launching pad surrounded by inlet sea water (for fire safety) where kids could bring their model rockets to launch. Community life and spirt with families young and old, large and small. Safe from cars, easy access to beach, places to get food to go and fine dining it would have the same "openness" as it has now A nice greenscape park to overlook the ocean. No retail. No commercial. Just open space. Untouched beauty. Not a retail store in sight. It would be a safe unspoiled coastline, free from commercial businesses. It has a natural mix of casual, undeveloped coastline with one or two destination spots. Parking opportunities for people who want to go to the beach or walk along the walking paths. Large open spaces along the water with a wide board walk similar to downtown Carlsbad Pretty coastal views with cars further away from bicycles and pedestrians Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I see the coastline… free of buildings and crowds. No retail, no restaurants, no tourist shops. Just the beautiful coastline. Walking along, maybe stop for a picnic. Peace. Serenity. Beauty. Nature. More green space and parks. Better pedestrian access Beach, dunes, and no human encroachment Better and safer area to run and bike Unfortunately I think developers will have influence peddled allowing the beautiful ocean view to essentially disappear except for a few well-connected landowners...hate to be pessimistic return it to nature No business or homes; ocean views from the road; walking path connecting to north Carlsbad A meandering trail that is wide and made of DG. There are key access points (stairways) down to the beach. The bluffs still shine in the sun and help you forget that the city is behind you. The large houses are gone. A light shuttle system moves up and down the coast like San Fransisco's trolleys that wisk you away to your car at a parking area on the other side of the tracks. ... no commercialization. Pack it in, Pack it out. Good bathrooms dotted along the way with a small concession stand so that someone can keep the bathrooms clean in a sustainable way. picnic tables along the way in little alcoves off the winding path. Honestly, I would change anything, other than maybe widen the bike lanes I see that the environment is still clean and peaceful and with respectable community members walking around pleasantly enjoying the clean area and enjoying the lovely beach views and parks. Beautiful scenic ocean view. Minimal structures Back to nature and open spaces Open space, easy access, car drivers can enjoy but don’t interfere with those not in cars. A large beautiful community garden boasting bountiful fruits and vegetables that is maintained by the homeless people in a program. The program is a three story building with a restaurant on the ground floor where homeless are trained in food service, gardening, and obtaining their food handlers or food management licenses during the program. The second floor of the building has 24/7 mental health access and rehabilitation/addiction specialists along with a common space for the people within the program to commune together, spend time, socialize, watch tv, have internet access on a public computer to be able to look for other jobs or reach out to family and friends. The third floor contains private rooms for individuals or families who are enrolled in the program and work on the first floor. In addition to receiving the necessary licenses, the people enrolled receive pay for their labor from the profits of the restaurant on the first floor, and are able to save up during their stay in the program. Once they have saved enough for a deposit and 3 months rent and have work experience enough to get a job in the real world they graduate out of the program with the tools needed to successfully return to society. Community partners with continued mental healthcare access would be necessary. Everyone wins. I don’t think it needs much improvement really. I like it the way it is now. No buildings a boardwalk that has little kiosk type stores that offer ice cream, frozen yogurt, desserts, drinks, sandwiches. artisan craft/art shops that rotate artisans, not owned by one person or one type of store front. areas with benches and small picnic tables. Organized and accessible parking to get to the beach and also to shops/cafes/restaurants/food trucks/etc. which are pedestrian friendly. Some green space Similar to Pacific Beach "boardwalk" but with one-story businesses, no residences, and cleaner. Ample beach park experience with pedestrian and bicycle access. There will be lifeguards and bathrooms but most if not all the are will be left without commercial development. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I see families enjoying a fire ring at the beach (or close to it...or above it) just like I did growing up. I see grassy areas for others to enjoy. And I see more outdoor showers for everyone. I see Carlsbad's coastline as one of the few remaining somewhat undeveloped areas of beauty with little or no retail. No shops or hotels, just greenery, easy access to walk to so not just a big giant parking lot People enjoying the ocean on the sand, but also parked and and viewing from their cars, no creepy homeless campers parked, clean, people walking and biking on two-way, separate paths. I would like a bike path that extends along coaster. A children’s play park on the beach would be great. I would like Carlsbad to stay quaint and be a haven for local businesses. No big buildings like Oceanside. New buildings should match coastal vibe and not be an eye sore. I would also like to see the homeless problem along the coast fixed. People riding, running or walking without worrying about cars Lots of green space with easy parking, some venues for food/drinks, but not a lot of retail shops. Focus on the outdoors and the ocean view. Ample free parking. Good sand. Nice beach type dining and bars. Something like Ft lauderdale now has. A beautiful and well Preserved stretch of California coastline Family friendly areas for hanging out and enjoy the beach. Good services like restrooms, food concessions, lifeguards, playground...like Moonlight Beach. Bike lanes and places to park your bike. Access to food trucks. Beach access, clean beach, clean water, lifeguard towers, a wide trail, a restaurant or two Exactly how it is now. Except they destroy the new hotel they just put in at the end of the lagoo A beautiful scene worthy of a postcard with families and visitors relaxing and playing. beautiful trees, open grass....natural beauty It remains the same and not developed! Some shade trees and places to sit and view the ocean, families playing and picnicking No changes I would see only small local vendors for food and beverages no residences or hotels. Lots of grass, easy access to the beach and some consistent safe walking and bike trails. It’s not built up like OC beaches or La Jolla It would be kept similar to as it is today...natural and drivable, as well. Not everyone likes the freeway as an option to travel through the area...the freeway is way too crowded and it makes our area "pass by" as opposed to "pass through". Expanded walking paths, areas to have picnics and just sit and enjoy the view, limited to no commercial or other business development, natural, drought tolerant plants and trees. No Disneyland type development or specialized park equipment etc that attracts non Carlsbad residents preserved nature that we can enjoy without commercial buildings marring the landscape A natural preserve that has limited car access but plenty of dispersed parking to easily reach the beach. Lots of biking and running trails with no stores or restaurants, keeping the coast natural and unspoiled. And man made reefs for better surfing. A safe place for cyclists. Not too touristy Lots of families enjoying the sand and the ocean. Exactly as it looks today. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: No road. A huge open space area with no commercial activity. Passive trails, natural habitats areas, and clean beaches and healthy tidal pools More parking, bike lanes, and sidewalk. More dog areas A well marked and designated bike lane only for bikes, more green areas, less concrete. Same view, same stairs, wider bike lane. Unknown Wide and safe bike lanes, slower traffic. A park with some small coffee shops, ice cream and a playground with access across the 101 to the beach ( maybe via a bridge over the road).the area is still very natural and green, with natural plants and not too much shopping or restaurants Just look at coastal towns like Nice, France, Cince Terre, Italy, Algarve, Portugal, Spotorno, Italy…there are so many world class beach front towns that can provide inspiration, guidance, design cues to transform Carlsbad BLVD As a local please leave this space open, do not add anything. Places where people can walk and enjoy the natural coastline that is not sullied by ugly parking lots, more buildings, and more hotels. The coastline is gorgeous so let’s keep it that way and enjoy it. Outside activities, greenery, sand, surf Climate change won’t likely let that happen I would like to see it stay the same except for more natural plant growth. (coastal sage brush restoration) We want to enjoy nature and are tired of how overbuilt our coastline is getting If I am still alive. World class pedestrian access, middle class priced recreational day use rentals and food, rest rooms. Leave it open please. I just like to see the water whenever I can. Beaches erode. It is true. Don’t put something else there that you can’t keep only the roads have been updated as needed to repair potholes, and the rest is untouched... historical raw beauty We can here because of the way it is. Naturally beautiful Open space!!! Keep it open!!! A natural area where walkers/ bikes/ and runners can share the roads and trails safely. Easy access to water, restrooms, and parking. Beautiful trees flowers and foliage Leave it alone!!!! Its beautiful untouched. The monstrosity of a hotel built by Ponto ruined it and locals dont want development Clean beaches and available parking. It would like I’d did 3 years ago with the power plant still in place. It’s great! Please leave it as close to its current state as possible. The rest of the SoCal coastline is developed. Humans need open spaces, to be able to see nature. Walking and biking trails. Nature!!! A wide beach you can easily walk to from a parking spot. pristine beach with wildlife. No shops or restaurants. Simple safe pathways down to the beach. Fortified cliff so that it doesn't collapse on people. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A wide path for runners, bikers and walkers. Only open space no shops. Space for picnics and yoga and other gatherings I would love to see a wide paved path with separate walking and biking lanes Broadly used recreational area co existing with restaurants, bars and recreational rental (like bikes) supported by sufficient parking that is safely segregated from flowing traffic I can still see the beaches and ocean but I have a spot to have a meal and drink to enjoy the sunset I like it the way it is. No development for retail/residential. Keep the focus on the beach. Safer walking and parking. More walkable and bikable open public spaces. Dog friendly. Restaurants and breweries with ocean views. Those don’t really exist from The Village to Cardiff. Would help drive revenues for the city and be a welcome addition for our residents. Get rid of the trailer parks and hotels off pointsettia. They don’t belong in our family community. The trailer parks also need to be turned into parks or large lots for new homes. Open to the sea Large open spaces with views to the ocean, easy access to the beach, walks for pedestrians, no car traffic A safe place for walkers, bike riders and families to adventure along the coastline away from traffic. It would be open space undeveloped from buildings. Walking on paths by the ocean after parking in nice paved parking area Lots of open space It has lots of green space, ample walking and biking trails, ample parking, safe access to the coast, little retail spots and community gathering spots here and there. NOT EVERYTHING HIGH END$$$$ Open space It would still be like I last remembered it - UNCHANGED. Clear beautiful view of the water and coastline The beach without any obstructions or additional development More open space away from the road with beautiful views and open spaces. Nice areas for families to walk and bike. More parking More camping sites and change reservations back to how Reserve American site. Opening the first of the month and not an every day revolving window. Haven’t been able to get a site in over two years. Preserved, undeveloped pristine coastline. Great local restaurants. Carlsbad is really lacking in restaurants. Encinitas has gone above and beyond in this area. When we visit other places, we say, "Why does Carlsbad not have something like this?" Maybe plant more natural trees and let the area thrive. Minimal infringement on coastline. The exact same thing I see today. More activities and services. The steps to the beach upgraded. Ocean view dinning choices It’s an open park space where people have picnics, enjoy coastal breeze, playground and some bbq pits. You can walk and ride your bike safely. Food trucks and ice cream vendors along the esplanade. No buildings just Natural recreation Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Happy families like I saw in the old days. No overdeveloped, expensive shops. It would look just about the same, along the coast and uncomplicated by 'improvements'. But at the same time, the bluffs would be preserved and possibly reinforced. Open at free views of coast. Accessible parking and open bike paths Less people more street lights A decent beach not over-run by development and clutter. Keep it clean, no more development. I have lived in Carlsbad all my life. I’m 43 years old, successful. We need to preserve what we have. We don’t need anymore shops, gastropups or restaurants. Remodel what we currently have. No more Mexican & Italian restaurants… It still feels less commercialized than other areas of the coast. The ocean, the views are prioritized No improvements! No traffic! The same Carlsbad I’ve been enjoying for the last 10 years. No build up at all along the entire coast. No commercial use at all. Open to the public, not spoilt by tourists The ability to walk for miles along the ocean with plentiful, safe, free parking and accessible bathrooms. Beauty preserved. Not too busy or congested. Perhaps a beachfront restaurant. Keep the small town charm. Traffic, crime homeless People enjoying the coast without any further development. No development, no stores, no restaurants, just what mother nature has given us. No interference by government. Nice grass and planted areas with parking and walking paths Natural, not overly developed. Paths for walking, cycling No buildings. Just plants and the ocean Exactly as it is. This stretch of coastline would be open and free of development. We do not need or want a Coney Island with shops and other amusements. That should be saved for downtown Carlsbad. I see openness similar to that I see today Exactly as it is today just the same as now beaches are deeper without so many rocks because offshore reefs have been created. There is a bridge over the mouth of Batiquitos Lagoon improving the lagoon and opening up the beach area. There is parking near the beach but it does not obstruct views. There is a walking path and bike path along the west side of the road. There are places along the path to cross over or under the road to access restaurants, hotels and for residents to cross. while there is some pull up (backwards angled) there are larger lots or parking structures on the east side of the main road. Seasonally a shuttle runs over to the beach. There are wide spaces with grass and great views for those who can't or don't want to haul a bunch of stuff down to the beach. A pedestrian- and bike/scooter/skateboard-friendly area that has lots of small local shops, beach access, slow traffic or no traffic. Off-site parking with free shuttles or underground parking so that land is used for parks or shops instead of parking lots. Less traffic and yuppies racing there peice of crap cars Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would like to see a natural coastline that is undeveloped with flourishing biodiversity that can be enjoyed by all of the public. Plenty of pedestrian paths, but not impact traffic flow any worse than it is today "Improved" is a euphamism for less open space, wider raods and more retail. It doesn’t need any improvement. Leave as is. People already have Carlsbad village to the north and Leucadia to the south. Beautiful natural views of the ocean without noises of cars, hiking trails, bike trails Open natural view of the coast. Why would anyone want to block that view with shops, parking lots, cars,....nope. A nice place to wheel my wheel chair and view the ocean. I would love beautiful grass space to play in with kids near the ocean, as well as separated bike lanes along Carlsbad Blvd where I don't have to worry about a car hitting my young kids. I would love to walk that stretch of land amongst native plants and hear bird song and watch dolphins I see it the same shock and dismay. I'd remember "the way it was" and be saddened. Please keep it more open and natural to allow for more walking, Open Air Yoga, Meditation etc. Please DO NOT allow for any kind of businesses including Food, Restaurant, Shops (of any kind) etc. Keep it pristine. Don’t change a thing other than to protect it in its natural state. The quaint, un-urban spraw feel. Leave it natural and unspoiled like today. Do not reduce parking or require paid parking. Largely unchanged, with the exception of the road moved for rising sea levels, and trails for walking and picnicking. Small grassy areas to spread out a blanket or to lay frisbee. But mostly a place to enjoy a relatively natural seaside setting That it was left pristine and untouched!! The rarity of a beach are left in its natural state.... until other beaches that have overcrowded and overdeveloped their unique areas and lost the true beauty of what a beach shoreline should be. You can go to a restaurant anywhere in any town . But where can you go to untouched beaches! open space - unobstructed by buildings - to be dedicated to enjoying outdoor space w ocean view ; put any structures further away from this long stretch - put parking on east side of train tracks and offer shuttle, put casual dining on west side of train trax but do not build them on the land w/ walkable ocean view I see a beautiful place to live and enjoy the outdoors. A safe place to be outdoors Take a look at the trails along the cliffs from pillar point harbor to half moon bay in Northern California. The area has removed much of todays car lanes into walking and biking paths and beach entrances for public use. Still vast areas of undeveloped open land where dogs can run and natural vegetation thrives A beautiful natural habitat with views of OUR gorgeous ocean. A chance for native wildlife to be seen. Some area where there is no greedy commercialism. An oasis in an area of too much traffic and commercialism A wide variety of activities to do either on the beach or near it, with a beautiful view. I think more options of things to do on our coastline is a great idea, but not too many things. Keep it simple. More nature, and a few food places/places to get drinks, but not too much. We love our coastline, please done urbanize it too much. Keep what makes Carlsbad great, the simplicity of the beach and nature Beach, grassy area with picnic grounds, walk/hike/bike trails, plenty of free PARKING! It would look just like it does today. It’s one of the best strips of coastline in Carlsbad. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I see a safe bike path and running path along the coast. as it is but with fewer automobiles Natural beauty! It is beautiful the way it is Open space. Take out the road cutting through it. The beach and the coast are the treasure. People from out of town are disappointed when they see how little area Carlsbad has near the beach – open space. What makes La Jolla so amazing at the Cove is that it has that big area of Open Space! It is restored to its natural dune coastline with the native plants and animals and enjoying the beach. Pelicans and sea birds thriving. sea lions in the water and a pod of dolphins swimming by. Natural sea grasses and Southern California plants growing nearby I do not agree with over developing the natural spaces. I much prefer to see the natural state of the coastline A nice, relaxing place to enjoy eating, shopping, and playing. It’s natural and unchanged Vast open space and a gentle surf line Just like it is now. Natural setting Beautiful sunny day the beauty of our coastline is its , natural state. That's why it is so gorgeous... Pedestrian paradise, a boardwalk, groups doing yoga, exercise, balance, drum circles, etc. like at Frazee/triangle park. Better parking that is not too pricey. More walkability. Less traffic. Less erosion. Not safe to walk right on edge of cliff and don't like all the barricades and signs (wrecks the scenery and experience). Separate bike lanes from walking lanes. NO commercial buildings. Sick and tired of all the development. Keep out pricey hotels that wreck the view. No more campgrounds either. You will be bring pollution with more cars to the area and you will diminish the coastal community that Carlsbad is known for. You will hurt the downtown retail and restaurants also. We voted no on the mall. Please consider our quality of life for once. Is money the only thing you people care about?! We will move and those who care nothing about keeping this a nice coastal city will stay. You will end up with a grungy city. Its rugged and not over developed. Feels like stepping back in time since everything else around it has been paved over and built several stories high. I would be so thankful that the City decided to leave natural areas alone. Stairways down the bluffs to the beach, some paved parking, benches to sit and watch the Ocean and sunsets, wider walking/bike paths. Honestly , this is the very last pocket of preserved land along the Carlsbad coastline for us residents in my opinion . It is nice to have an area without congestion of shops and retail . I love here for those reasons alone . Building would make things extremely uncomfortable for many residents and with all that Carlsbad has to offer - it is unecessary. We have many retired folks in the mobile homes - 3 mobile home parks . Why taKe away these years from these citizens with construction , pollution , congestion and extra tourism. ? Campers prefer our campgrounds since they can escape all this. This idea is disheartening. Lots of people, fewer cars Nothing. In 20 years I would like to imagine it’s prestige natural beauty. The estuary and marshland is preserved south of Avenida Encinas. Also that the beach area below the campground is continuously maintained with sand and access. Convenient to enjoy the coast without ruining it by overdeveloping for commercial interests. Keep shops in the village and away from this part of the coastline Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Looks just the same. You can never get this feeling back anywhere else in North County San Diego. Just as it is It would be the same Neat and tidy, nicely landscaped with clear walking and clear biking paths, a few eateries and snack bars along the way, and bathrooms. Less aggressive cyclists Leave it alone! If that many people want to bike along the coast, create a bike lane inland and leave the road where it is for everyone else. Slow, limited traffic on the highway and a nature preserve. Any retail development would be a travesty. I am a bit biased, because I live on Oceanview Drive in the Solamar development and our home overlooks this entire stretch of road with an unobstructed view from La Jolla to Dana Point. Solamar has been here since the late 1950's, is directly affected by any planned development & construction and its residents need to be consulted closely during all stages Coastline park like Laguna Beach Main Street park enhancing access and usage for pedestrians and visitors with walkways, stairs, playgrounds, benches, etc. Zero Cars! A scenic, quiet environment, with paths for walking and hiking also providing access to the beach. Given climate change is it too much to ask for sandy beaches. Also it would be awesome if you could allow kayaking on in the lagoon. Just NO motors/noise/pollution. Just bliss. Drive to the beach, find available free parking, leave my car, walk to the sand, sit on my towel on the sand, walk into the surf. It would feel safe and have unobstructed view of the ocean from the street No commercial crap or GOV ruining it ...I'd like it to look like it did 50 years ago. NO CAMELS! What is a camel you ask? A horse designed by GOV committee There would be a nice walking trail along the lagoon and the beach. A fair amount of parking would be available, but restricted from large recreational vehicles. Vigilucci's restaurant would be unable to use city streets for their parking. They would need to purchase additional land for their parking and take down their "temporary" dining structure that takes up their former parking lot. No new shopping, etc. that would take up valuable street parking. I live in Solamar on Oceanview and I am very concerned about the southbound lanes being raised and moved closer to me. It would take my ocean view that has been in my family for 30 years. Safe area with easy free parking, coastal views with picnic areas, paths and beach shops, fun foods, coffee. It will have maintained its small beach town feel. It will not have been ruined by ugly buildings, more hotels. The traffic won’t be made worse by more roundabouts and bike lanes and stop signs. Way too many people leaving trash and not respectful of surrounding neighborhoods. The charm of the area lost to orange county like same old stuff. Rolling DG or dirt trails flanked by California native plants. Unobstructed views of ocean and beach access. Accessible parking. DOG BEACH area. Lots of people walking and biking along the coast with casual restaurants to grab a bite to eat on the journey Nothing leave it alone I would be sad to say that 20 years ago the city planners totally wrecked our beautiful coastline for the sake of gaining more tax revenue. Leave the natural beauty. Don’t touch it. The unobstructed natural view is beautiful. Alia Maria is ugly enough. Blocking the view and such. Leave our coastline ALONE. Large bike/walking path along the coast. Restaurants, stores, coffee shops near the walking path but not right on it The road would have falken into the sea and they would be vacating the trailer park, hotel, and houses. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would see people walking and biking up and down the coastline and they would be safe from traffic. The pedestrian path could make it more accessible to Leucadia and Carlsbad Village. The restaurants, bars, and shopping would attract more people and would bring more revenue for the city. Both locals and tourists, large open walkway/bike paths along the ocean. Shops and restaurants on the east side of walking paths like Newport Beach CA Clean, quiet and accessible Leave it the same An area that was separated from cars that I could ride my unicycle with my family without the fear of getting hit by cars and without losing the views of the coastline!!! I see it as the way it is now! I see it the way it's been for 100 years. Its perfect the way it is. Leave it alone. It’s exactly the same The same natural beauty I see today in 2022 Nothing More benches and areas to sit and watch the waves. It's exactly the same as now Very walkable. Clean without trash and debris. Very safe for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians. Clearly delineated lines for pedestrians and bicyclists, both northbound and southbound. Gotta figure out a way to safely deal with the swarms of bicyclists. It’s viral too keep the open space. Lots of native wildlife and wild spaces, affordable shops, plenty of public access, controlled growth Reduced traffic density, wider walk ways, distance from main roadway and a section of beach that allowed dogs I'd program my car to take me to Encinitas and stop along the way to see the sights. My car would stop at the bluffs, at the beach and at the concession, telling me about each feature as we rolled up. When we got to the beach I'd notice that a driverless bus was dropping off locals and tourists alike to enjoy a day at the beach. Lots of wide open space that’s free for people to use, picnics, mature trees, walking tracks, bike paths, lots of shaded seating with ocean views, not a lot of shops or building. Open line of sight Keep it as is!!! A cohesiveness with views, open areas for gathering, small shops, areas for strolling and exercise. Accessibility for people with all types of abilities. A locals spot almost untouch except dogs are allowed on the beach Unobstructed views, no new buildings, people walking, running, biking up and down the coast on dedicated paths away from traffic, people enjoying the beach. A wide pedestrian mall with bike lanes. I pray it doesn't change I love it the way it is I would absolutely not want you to change it one bit. Why can’t it just be perfect without having retail and restaurants and everything that ruins it? Leave it alone! Please I’m begging you. It’s why we live here. We live in Oceanside but I lived in Carlsbad and most recently in Rancho Santa Fe. I’ve owned two homes in Oceanside on Pacific and in Fire Mountain for 25 years and go to the coast every day. Not much different however wider lanes to accommodate foot and pedestrian traffic on west side. Safer to walk pets Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A gathering of people doing different activities amongst a well landscaped area with controlled traffic and they are able to enjoy the coast in its natural form. It has been improved because cars are electric and not polluting the beautiful lagoon and coast Preserved for future generations A walking path along the coastline, safely separated from traffic. The rest is exactly how it is today, with a gorgeous undeveloped coastline. The natural coastline has been maintained, and conservation efforts have preserved the wildlife. Outdoor movie nights, picnics, Leaving it the way it was. N/a Not much has changed. That’s are no new buildings. You can still park on the sand at Ponto, there is natural run off and erosion. There is more sand on the beach Riding my ebike down the coastline, the easily accessible park area features a bike and pedestrian path which unbroken connects to the rest of the community. Where the road remains wide, there are tunnels and bridges which connect areas and are Incorporated into the trails to encourage use. There are local food/specialty stalls, as well as restaurants and mid size food stands featuring local produce and flowers. The Carlsbad Cruiser, a standard 20 person bus, drops off a handful local residents at the beach for a day of sand and surf, while some other folks hop on as it heads over the the LaCosta Cinapolis and Carlsbad Library. The wind smells pleasant as the road has been reduced to a two lane road with a lane island for easy crossing, and has reduced pollution also thanks to the improved greenspace and watershed. Parking my ebike at a square, the handful of shops are filled with locals and tourists alike while music and waves compete with laughter and excited conversation. There are a few breweries surrounding a open amphitheater, a square and a few locally inspired spaces for venues and events. Today a local industry organization is holding a public friendly vendor show to showcase the advances in their industry. The rental shops provide a surfboard, I forgot at home. Easy biking and walking, restaurants like Leucadia, still east access to surf Leave it as it is now Same as today, with less vehicles rushing down Coast Hwy. More focus on pedestrians/people. Shade in the form of native trees. Unobstructed ocean views, no commercial ventures, pedestrian friendly, native vegetation People out exercising and enjoying the beautiful coast Shops and restaurants. Nothing over 3 stories tall. Some residential homes, condo and apartments. Wide paths for walking and biking. Better parking. No new residential development. As close to a natural environment as you can get along a busy road nature reserve Large parking lot with snack stands and restrooms with a walking path. I used to live in Huntington Beach and miss the beach parking. It would remain the coastal jewel it is. Possibly the only one of it’s kind. No real changes from today except trails, bike paths and restrooms and lots of locals and visitors enjoying what we have! Move the southbound east and Keep everything it the way it is. It would look natural. I can see the ocean from the road. No human development to spoil nature. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I love it if it stays just as it is. No more development. Leave it natural. more wildlife ....less development...more nature....the beauty of carlsbad as it is now...development does not equal improvement... Beach atmosphere as in old carlsbad Not alot of development. Just scenic views. No more traffic congestion. Extend the Promenade with two lane road and bike lanes all the way from the desal plant to the bridge over the Batiquitos lagoon outflow. Add perpendicular parking on either side of the road between Batiquitos and the El Rey to maximize beach access. The extra open space created along the campground can be a nice greenway for the entire City to use. Then you can maximize the value of the Ponto redevelopment to include a gateway hotel or retail use with a small park tucked back along the railroad tracks to keep the locals happy. The highway has been moved to accomodate erosion/sea level rising. The empty fields south of Ponto have park(s)/open area for activities with an over pass for walkers to access the beach. Parking inland by /around the park-making it easy for surfers and beach goers to use that parking. A beautiful natural coast line Just nature. No development. No road. Still would have the unobstructed views of the coast that have disappeared from much of So Cal in recent years. Would have a beautiful park with some beach access. And some parking. No shops! No hotels! That's not what a beautiful coastline is for! Leave it alone Carlsbad families playing in parks along the beaches with unubstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and 100% total beach access. leaving the majority natural would be perfect, encourage parking somewhere else, don't make it Santa Monica BUILD A PIER Lots of people swimming, surfing, fishing, walking, jogging. Sunbathing..... Better and more traffic lanes plus room for bike lanes Keep the small town charm not to expand it to big city like L.A I see families enjoying open space, natural trails, and green lawns for picnicking. I see people walking and strolling in a safe space. I see parks for all to enjoy. A safe area to walk & NOTHING ELSE BEATS THE UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW ....PLEASE LEAVE IT BE !!!!! Surfers, beach volleyball , beachfront parking with time limits, no commercial development Open space with adequate restroom facilities. No big parking lots. This area should be left natural and untouched. Stop over building and commercialization of every bit of open space by the coast. Makes no sense Open space, trails, view of the beach from the trails and road, unobstructed by buildings great place to live A place where I could spend time on the beach or a park near the beach, and then walk to a brew pub for lunch. The camp ground is half the size to make room for a park. Bike paths near the beach off the road. No stores or shops An improved swimming beach & parking An area designated as a historical model glider flying area. The city of Laguna Niguel has such an area. I would love to meet friends there to watch and fly. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: exactly as it is without commercial and suburban encroachment-like open California used to be. Our beach does not need to be Disneyland or Hermosa Beach Lots of wild land and not lined with buildings. Don't turn it into Del Mar where you can only see the coast in certain areas. All developers have been barred from the area, houses are affordable, there is an age cap on serving in city council seats Natural open space The coastline has been shored up to prevent further erosion and loss of land that makes driving, biking, and walking on the coast possible. Free organized parking along the road, seating areas for enjoying views or eating a meal. Paths that are rustic, not manicured, natural, accessible for all. Trees and local shrubs and chaparral, (there are pine trees that locals hang ornaments during the holidays). Safety, accessibility, little to no retail. I see a pier with a lot of small shops around the coast to walk or bike with family I see people on foot passing through natural dirt trails. Kids playing in a grassy area with little pavement. I see natural bushes and trees. I do not see a tourist trap with buildings and concessions. I still see locals able to stop by to see the ocean for 5/10 minutes in the middle of their day without having to try to find parking in a busy paved, paid lot area and walk over to the ocean. There’s the entire downtown Carlsbad area just up the road if people want restaurants, difficultly parking, traffic, crosswalks. Please leave this area minimally touched. I see untouched, beautiful, open space. I find it peaceful. And a wonderland for sunsets. Grateful that the money hungry developers were told to go away and to leave this space as is for all to enjoy. Wider bike lanes. Pedestrian walkways. NO development. No hotels, no condos, no timeshares, no restaurants, no stores. A PARK at Ponto! Coastline with improved parking infrastructure, tot-lots, dog parks, small vendors/food trucks that does not block beach view…walking/jogging paths… would hate to see high rise commercial establishments. This is great! There is a park and they didn't turn Carlsbad into Orange County by building more high density residential and retail! LEAVE IT ALONE. I was somewhat intrigued by this until I got to “and which shops would you like to see?” All the over-development, all the destruction of the natural beauty, signs on every corner “coming soon, new massacre of nature and 3000 more homes!” As someone who has lived here since 1984 and knows what it used to look like - STOP trying to “make it better”. You know why people love it here? Because it’s perfect the way it is. It doesn’t need more any ice cream shops or breweries or restaurants or hotels. Drive five minutes north to downtown Carlsbad for that, for the love of all things - leave the coastline alone!!!! Stop approving new building!!!! walk area -park with benches and tables to relax and a great view of the ocean The improvement would be leaving this space open and natural!! Concrete is everywhere and more of it is poured everyday at an alarming rate!! “They’ve paved over paradise and put up a parking lot” If you must do it consider lighted PickleBall courts. 😊 i’d hope to see the open space we have today. Nothing like downtown Oceanside. if we want to enjoy restaurants and bars than we can simply go to village or leucadia. Greenbelt with bike and pedestrrian lanes, park benches, NOTHING else I would like for it to remain natural and untouched. Let’s protect and preserve the small pieces of land and space that we still have. The exact same. I know development is inevitable, but it is perfect now. Open space with natural landscapes. One or two small stands of convenience items (snacks, sunscreen). Parking away from the ocean If it looks like north carlsbad then i would feel sadness. Natural untouched grounds to feel the beauty and nature Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: It be left exactly the way it is. There is plenty to do in the village I can drive 3 minutes north. What the hell is wrong with you people… I see it the way it is today I wouldn't like it at ALL! Keep it natural and original. Additional beach parking and a skatepark across from Ponto The way it is now. Unspoiled Natural unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. A relaxing space to enjoy the ocean views without the bustle of the rest of the beach I would not like it to change or be overdeveloped. Keep it the way it is. Beautiful natural coastline not over built Not sure. Just not developed so that natural beauty is cemented over! No big buildings. No more hotels like the monstrosity at the end of la costa. The area would be in close to its natural state, there would be no new development, and the current area would be closed to all motor vehicles. PCH would be rerouted to the east and this area would be open to bicycles (not e-bikes) and foot traffic only. It would be quiet and peaceful. A linear park with very limited infastructure, no retail, no restaurants, keeping it open, its the last open area along the coast What I see now A very natural area with native plants, walking paths, and bike paths. The openness remains the sane a relaxed, park-like environment Parking would be plentiful and the beaches would be easy to access, Great place to watch the waves while enjoying a coffee or ice cream treat. Park like setting. The same beautiful scenery I am currently enjoying. I envision a coastline that makes residents proud and other municipalities envious. For starters, there will be an abundance of welcoming,over-engineered infrastructure ensuring safety and accessibility for cars, bikes, and pedestrians alike. The commercial and public spaces are thoughtfully designed and landscaped with the purpose to enhance, not overwhelm, the already natural splendor. I see that the coastline has been protected by the community leader preventing developers from taking the beauty of our area and replacing it with housing and restaurants. However, railway crossing along Vulcan to the 101 would be a convenience easy access to state beach ,more level in parking, abilitily to turn left out of so carlsbad state beach, (so ponto)add traffic light (like all hotels have!) No buildings. No shops. Open space for walker, runners, bike riders and dog walkers. Trails instead of walking in bike lanes. Parking is out of sight but available. No commercial development or increase in residential density. Open and unspoiled views of nature. Safe parking and walking areas. its the same. untouched. leave it alone. I have been here 25 years and its fine. we dont need any more condo's by the sea. or cement by the sea. which is what this city council is doing to us. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: The land has been left untouched. Not developed. Fewer people and cars, more wild areas for birds and marine life, hiking. Expand the idea of what needs to be changed to include acquiring land for a neighborhood size park, like Holiday Park with adjacent camp sites, restaurants, and visitor serving retail. There would be many more improved parking areas along the beach from La Costa Ave up to Palomar Airport Road. Service type businesses would be oriented toward beach goers along a separate access road with camp sites on the west side and services and utilities (restrooms and showers) on the east side of the access road. Coastal vegetation oriented areas would cover the remainder of the land after all the camp sites, access roads, off street parking the sidewalk and the bikeway are put in place, along with the road which would be only two lanes but have right hand turn and left hand turn pockets at all intersections, each of which would be signalized with traffic actuated electronics. I would see exactly what I see today....... beautiful, undeveloped space The natural beauty bid retained but people are enabled to enjoy the nature close to the ocean with waking trails and parks SAME AS TODAY Families, walking or biking, enjoying a shaved ice 🍨 and the spectacular views of the Pacific ocean. Quiet, calming, and beautiful ❤️ Open beaches, local access, no buildings, no retail, commercial, or residential properties. A beach area more like Del Mar or La Jolla. Quality area and safe. NO sleeping on beach Continued natural beach habitat as this will be less prevalent in the area. I would like to see that the bluff has been secured from falling and it is safe to walk & bike ride from Cerezo to La Costa Ave.— that you can still see the water as you drive south between Carlsbad and Leucadia and that the traffic flow is not slow & crowded,interrupted & driving views BBI locked with businesses , condos,parking,traffic like downtown The coastline has been restored to its natural, unarmored state and the beach is wide and sandy and free from rip rap I see all 60 acres as a beautiful green park, low lying vegetation with seating, trails, walkways, play areas, And That Dogs would be allowed! No buildings. Just a place to go to enjoy nature. I would see dedicated bike paths, sidewalks and park benches so we can enjoy the gorgeous views. Southbound Carlsbad Boulevard moved as far east as possible, and a separate bicycle and separate pedestrian protected corridor. Vehicle parking that does not conflict with bikes and pedestrians. Otherwise, it would be like it is now. I see expanded pedestrian facilities and trails, no businesses developed, and the retention of the open space feel. A beautiful area such as you'd see on the East Coast - coastal towns -- retail, restaurants places families of all ages and generations can gather -- along with condo's Nothing. This is the last piece of Carlsbad that is natural and open. There are enough shops and developments in other areas. Leave the coast line alone Leave it as is!! Please just add some trails if anything. We don’t need more shopping or restaurants! It woudl be dedicated biking and walking trails away from cars. more like the cardiff rail trail. peaceful and family friendly. would easily connect south Carlsbad to leucadia and north carlsbad Get rid of all fencing around ponto and have a preserve natural coastline Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Traffic away from coast. Bikes on that road in a safe bikeway like along Cardiff SB. Pedestrians safely walking the path and sitting on benches enjoying the view. A clean and peaceful coastline that maintains its natural state and rewards and caters mostly to those who call it home. An area that stands out from others the City has ruined because it is in a natural state, not made "safe" or "more usable," and it reminds everyone of how most of Carlsbad used to be (and could have been but for developers). I see a charming coastal run that didn’t let itself get railroaded by developers to build up. Only buildings for maintenance and restrooms , open space, park amenities such as gazebos, grills,etc Park like setting (separate road from 101), with grassy areas overlooking ocean. Like Mission Bay, but better! Leave it as is Very little change. No new buildings or storefronts. Safe running and walking trails Keeping it just as is! We already have Leucadia and Encinitas becoming cluttered, congestion, and overrun. This stretch is the last bit of the coast that is still serene and calm. Same as today. Just Look at San Onofri Unfettered view of the ocean. No resorts, tourist stops, shops, etc. blocking access. Locals have few areas at the beach to escape the development targeting tourism and corporations. Places to park for free and enjoy our city. That it isnt developed and untouched like 20 years ago from the 20 years into the future. No more concrete Open…natural…ocean landscape. Don’t be like the rest of california and over develop. Leave it open for ocean air to rip through. Less is more. Not a lot of buildings. Open space with trails or walkways it would look just like it does now. Don't spoil it with an unnecessary construction project Leave the open space. We don't need more coffee shops, etc. It looks the same. It staying the exact same as it is. It’s beautiful and amazing to see the coast!!!! Unfortunately the question assumes 'improved'. Rustic and rural as best we can keep it. That's beauty. We all love Torrey Pines.....why? Open and nature park, grass, natural not built up a park with a dog park and play area for kids. bike rental shop, small boutique shops selling carlsbad artist made clothes and art that do not impede the ocean view for communities of san pacifico South Carlsbad coastline left to its natural state is the best! One of the few open spaces left on the Souther Californian coast that is still easily accessible by all families. Immersive natural plants and animals without annoying evidence of human impact It’s beautiful the way it is. You guys better not mess it up for the locals. We don’t need more tourist anyway I would be so incredibly ecstatic that it’s the one untouched place of SoCal.. we have no more needs for dumb restaurants and stores and def no need for more traffic flowing to that area Same as it is today. Walk ways with food choices interspersed. Shade trees. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A huge park where people can rest, walk, bike, etc without traffic interference. A wonderful..breathtaking view of our ocean..seeing dolphins and whales..relaxing on a bench or table...quiet!! Like it was years ago.. A little bit of OLD coastal California!!.. It's green with benches to sit on and watch the ocean, and some really nice trees. Nothing else. No cement. I would see an obstructed view of the ocean where I could walk in a natural habitat setting. South Ponto Beach past the campground would look like Cardiff by the Sea with restored sand dunes, native vegetation and natural fencing. Open space with natural landscape. Plenty of lanes for increased traffic, especially with the building of new hotels at Ponto beach. I would like everything to be left alone. Nothing is wrong with it. People go there for the beach. No to shop n eat. Stop ruining this place! I would like to see that no big corporations have invaded on its natural beauty I wish there would be some green space and its not all developed into retail and houses. We need park space that everyone can use I see serenity, a natural habitat, a place where I cycle, where I come to the beach and am away from commercial properties. I would want it to remain exactly as it is and free from development. The beauty of the coastline and beaches should not be littered with shops, restaurants, and the like. It is not Disneyland. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth and should remain unchanged. Carlsbad residents already have access to many lovely parks and trail systems. The way it is today. The same ocean view, put the funds into maintaining the roads. I don’t want to see any commercial development. Leave it natural for everyone to enjoy. All the services you list are available in Carlsbad or Luecadia. An engaging space that welcomes a diverse community... walkers, families, travelers... to a visually pleasing and calming place Leave it open and beautiful. Don't clutter it up trying to "improve" it. It is wonderful now. I would see the campground, ocean views, less traffic than your projected 60 acre development Please leave it be Open spaces Not congested, signal, traffic I would want it to be open space as it is now and allow for the beauty of the coastline and places to walk Families and children, residents and visitors, art walks, activity, all types of users enjoying the coastline and beach - not just campground users and hard core users (surfers, skilled bikers, etc.). An area to visit for special occasions, ocean view restaurant(s), playground equipment, public plazas, expanded beach access. All types of users, experiencing the area in all types of different ways, while still maintaining the natural beauty and feel of the area Buildings? Shops? Restaurants???? enough of that. We need more nature places in North County San Diego. We love Carlsbad!!! leave it natural as much as possible, no businesses, just open to the public to enjoy for family outings, to access the beach , to go surfing, to go fishing Having a nice meal with the view of the ocean. walking trails Leave it alone! Stop messing up our great city!!, The view of the ocean is stunning from the walk way along the coast Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would like to see the same animal species in the lagoon area. The only improvement I would like to see is the asphalt area and a marked bike path. Same as I see it today walkways, grass, picnic tables and some trees I don't want to see it covered in buildings park an outdoor first area for people to enjoy the beach and views. Play disc golf enjoy the beach and enjoy NOT crowded space! A large grassy park where people can hang out, bbq, and enjoy the view. Access to the beach from the park. Limited (if any) retail, restaurants, etc added to this area. More efficient parking, ecofriendly trails I would hope it would remain untouched. We need nature not stores or parking lots or breweries Fewer buildings. It is said that in 30 years, coast highway could be flooded due to rising water/climate change. bike path not on the road and perhaps waling paths I don’t see businesses, I only see nature and the beautiful view that we know and love Best left the same as now. A marriage of modern amenities and activities with the natural surroundings, with minimal impact to the natural surroundings. A place of calm - a harbour in the tempest, so to speak. Sustainable, green practices, with modern approach. Rustic, but elegant and chic. I see open space and no added traffic and happy that we do not have to develop every square inch of land. Open space, no “infrastructure” or gentrification. Stop building on beautiful land and stop changing north county. Remote control airplane/glider site I see all the same sights I enjoy now. Enjoying the coastline Lovely, open ocean views, a variety of coastal native plants along meandering trails, only minimal retail areas, nearby parking, away from bluffs. Rare beautiful natural coastline. A place people from near and far come to enjoy & experience. Shopping bars restaraunts are not that far away. Open space, and more beach access. While improvements are sometimes necessary, I think more retail shops or concession stands will take away from the nature of the coast. And could lead to more trash along the coast that we don’t need. Ample space for people (instead of cars) enjoying the awe-inspiring coast. A whole open space for walkers and casual bikers to beach commute and visit areas they typically wouldn't. It looks like it did before people failed to appreciate this incredibly rare habitat! Hopefully, people would've learned that habitat is critically important even if they don't think it is "pretty." That word, "pretty" is a purely human construction. Nature doesn't work that way. Would you tell your spouse to go with some other person because they looked nicer? Why do we do that to nature? Biology is not a one dimensional concept even if some people appear to be. Less homes on the bluffs, more pedestrian access, some beach parking along sand, more undeveloped paths Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: As close to it's natural being as possible. DON'T build a big cement sea wall and cement path like you did from Pine St. down to Tamarack. That project ruined a beautiful stretch of coast and KILLED good surf by covering up the reefs with sand. Please keep the natural environment in mind as you plan future development. Look to some of the paths that have been added recently in Cardiff and Encinitas as examples. Open space able to be enjoyed for active and passive recreation. Beach and view access. No commercial buildings, retail, hotels, etc Same as now with better car access. No restaurants unless it was a beach shack like in Newport. Leave this be the special place that defines Carlsbad. The major thing is that there isn’t any massive development. Just larger sidewalks, easier stairs to beach, and maybe a small park with water fountain and restroom. Otherwise untouched. Keep it simple. Keep it local. There are enough developed areas around. I see the road of course being improved, that’s a must. But the road remains a small, 4 lane highway, a heartfelt and carefully designed tribute to how it was first built and how all coastal roads in california were once built. The road is free from unnecessary street lights, if anything, maybe a roundabout is introduced. And along side the highway, there would be clean, conservative coastal sea wall/beach walk that blended into the natural environment it was in (orange sandstone cliffs, green ice plant, sand, etc) that allowed people to walk, bike, and skate right next to our beautiful ocean. It could even be illuminated at night to allow for safe evening strolls in summer. The same as now, but more parking available, 1-2 nice restaurants with a view, sand placed over South Ponto Beach, dog friendly areas dogs and their owners on the beach, the natural beauty preserved, better sidewalks up top. It's the same, it's such a scenic and beautiful area which shouldn't be overdeveloped. Beautiful open space with views of the ocean for both cars, bikers, and pedestrians. Park space for picnics and reading while enjoying the view. A beautiful park along the ocean. Absolutely nothing has changed since my family and I moved here im 2000. Don’t change anything- leave the oceanfront alone. Exactly how it is now Undisturbed open space, no development, wide open views, beach access for residents, especially, no hotels. It looks the same as it does today. Untouched. It looks exactly as it does now Some nice restaurants and shops and gathering places. Not a park that will just become a place for more homeless to take over. Disappointed if it get developed Seeing it exactly the same way it was the day I “left”. Keep it the way it is. We don't need any more development! You can't "improve" the ocean. Id like to see a natural beach environment with native birds and animals. Don't trash up our town and the California coast with trash and development. And educate yourself on sea level rise before you waste our taxpayer money on your trashy amusement park ideas I love that I can see the ocean and walk in a natural space without massive development. Leave it the same as it is. I would see exactly what I see today or even more healthy nature and no new developments. I would like to see protected vegetation and native plants/animals Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Lots of easy parking. Walking trails next to the beach, away from cars/bikes going by. Beach access with a place to rinse sand from feet. Shady trees. A place to get coffee. Seating. Many more people walking, running, cycling, and open water swimming. Lots of talented buskers The road has been nicely maintained, It is still a nice semi-peaceful way to get to Leucadia. The ability to park and walk along a "Strand" like experience from one end to another. Maybe even a boardwalk experience. Lots of open space no commercial areas I see it exactly as it is today. Development isn’t always positive. Keep the open space as is. Unobstructed views of shoreline from the east side of the road- fine dining restaurant, upscale retail shops- think Lido Marina Village up in Newport Beach! it would be similar to how it is now, open vistas, as little development as possible The same as it is today! Erosion control along the bluffs and cliffs. Nature walking paths integrated into the cliffs. Zero commercial development. More environmental control and preservation yet with easy access for outdoor enthusiasts. Spending the entire day on the coast starting with buying coffee, having a casual lunch, walking or biking down the coastline and stopping for drinks and dinner at a venue with unobstructed views of Carlsbad’s sweeping coastline. Clean ocean views, natural settings, and NO development! Relief that a piece of native coastal Southern California habitat has remained untouched. Recreational area with ocean views I would like to see beautiful coastline like in Big Sur with native plants and birds, and bicyclists and hikers using it. Continued open spaces with natural views, unencumbered by additional construction and development. A space that promotes walking, hiking and biking in a manner that embraces safety for all. Leave it alone!!! Mostly open space, natural landscaping, parking, beach access, benches, picnic areas, food area for ice cream, snacks, light fare. Same as today I actually moved here 25 years ago and loved everything I saw, including that section of the coastline. Why must you turn everything into cement, and square buildings. Leave it alone. Open space with minimal cafés great view no cars no more housing or condos and more open space & parks Improvement is not a necessity. Keep the coastline the same. Natural beauty and open spaces could very well be gone in 20 years. It is depressing to change. We don't need a park there. In 20 years, having natural and open spaces will make Carlsbad more unique than neighboring cities that have chosen to make artificial parks and spaces in every possible lot. There are plenty of options leave it alone and go develop hemet The natural land are still there. There are a few more public bathrooms. It is calming and peaceful. No tacky fencing No fast food No more development Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: No shops, restaurants. More benches for walkers to sit on. We have designated coastal access areas that are similar to the village Lots of mature plants and nature. Still has the original feel. All improvements are no higher than 2 stories, and there should be plenty of parking A large parking area is available for access . I can park my car the bike or walk to the beautiful area with a coastal view that does have flush toilets that are clean & safe as well as many outside showers for cleaning up after boogie boarding. A walk way & bike way dedicated without any cars to get to the awesome view area . No need for any commercial establishments . The ocean is enough entertainment. Beauftiful Green patches of little parks, benches for picnics, wide two way pedestrian and bike passage like coast Blvd. in Santa Barbara…better lifeguard stations and clean bathrooms. Minimal shops or none! Please check our fletcher cove in Solana beach! Our neighbors have already done what we are thinking to do in next 20years!?? glorious views of ocean. A park similar to Moonlight beach in Encinitas and Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach Left alone. Stop building on land that dosent need it Safe Walking/biking paths with views A wide walking path that extends along the coast. Park benches, small walking trail to the beach. No retail. We have enough coastal areas over built in CA. There are very few peaceful, open areas where you can walk, run, ride a bike or fly a radio control glider. Open space free from commercial retail is rare. Please don’t ruin one of the great places in Carlsbad. Raised walkways. Campsites. Bike paths. Interpretive signs. Families biking and walking. Public spaces. Leave it alone Too much development in Carlsbad coastline already. Used to be Nirvana when untouched. Progress has already been made in other parts of city. Leave this stretch alone Continue to drive or walk and see the unobstructed view of the ocean! More terrible over development leave the coast alone. Hopefully it is Preserved just the way it is. Ponto Park south entry to city, with spacious tunnel underpass for bikes, and pedestrians, with safe link to linear park. Mom & pop food stalls for quick-grab non junk food light meals, restored tidepools and visitors educated and respectful of beach sea life. Park and bluffs would feature natural native plants and trees, and plenty of wide open space, free of boutiques, fast food chains, and high rise condos. A place unlike any other. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic creating havoc. Days gone by. I simpler life where watching sunsets. Experiencing the natural wonder and a long stairway to the beach is the best day ever. That it has stayed exactly the same Only things thats changed is if the road needs repair it is done I would like to see it as exactly as it is now. NO CHANGE! No changes for our next generation. An unspoiled coastal area. I would easily find parking. Then I’d go play Pickleball. After the game I’d sit with friends and have a cup of coffee. Finally I might take. Walk up to downtown Cbad on a beautiful path. probably more people than I would care to see Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A beautiful outdoor setting encouraging people to recreate and utilize outdoor resources. Better parking with no development. Our grandchildren should be able to experience what the coastline was without man made development. They can go downtown for spending money instead of healthy living on the beach. To see it the exact same way it is now I do not want to see shops or restaurants taking up the view. I would like to keep it as natural as possible. The only improvement I would suggest is a walking/hiking/biking path It remains unchanged Seating areas with ample shade spread out along accessible walks and trails. Clusters of small retail areas, but not continuous. A park dedicated to the RC glider community who have been flying along what is affectionately known as Dave's Beach for decades. The same as it is now. Just maybe a bit more parking for locals Less traffic, people biking and walking without the fear of being hit by a car. Bike paths that allow people to bike from San Marco to the beach. a beautiful park People of Carlsbad and surrounding areas enjoying one of the last open areas near the Ocean in SoCal. Leave it as is- no shops of any kind whatsoever!!! Selling sunscreen & souvenirs?? Horrible!!! No local residents need that!!!! Clean view and access of the beach and water. No people with food items (that ends up in the ocean and on the sand); no trash cans that are over full and raided by seagulls. A simple natural experience (a valuable experience that is rare in a tourist town). Long strolls with my wife and dog in nice landscaped gardens A promenade, coffee shops and casual restaurants, people walking etc Restaurant Row: An assortment of fine and casual dining in a park-like setting. Small shops for sundries (no 'Macy's, thank you). A knowledge that taxes from the shops and restaurants will more than pay for the common area costs. I don’t want to see shops or multi million dollar homes. I hope the city keeps the coastline natural for walking, picnics, sunsets, etc. surfers, sunbathers, walkers, joggers, bikers pedestrians and those with baby strollers have a nice wide sidewalk closer to the ocean. Cyclists have enough width to ride side by side safely. Green space buffer to the re-aligned road. A couple of public restrooms on inland side. Not a bunch of business, 7-11's, minimarts, restaurants. Natural as possible is best. I would be sad to see any concrete establishments in the area. Peaceful and pleasant experience. Easy access from highway, to several small but available lots, with a short distance to access the sea or boardwalk area, where I could take long walk overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean or stop and sit down and get a cup of coffee or eat at a nice place that is locally owned and operated, something created that is special and unique to Carlsbad Beaches remain the same, there're concession stands and restroom/shower facilities, with a parking lot nearby with easy/safe access to the beaches. Dedicated bike lanes. Less development than there is today. More natural coastline which is quickly disappearing. I would say thank you for leaving it alone Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I’d prefer it be left alone, we should preserve the natural area. Undeveloped nature preserve It would be beautiful and open. It would probably be the last open space on the coast line in all of San Diego county. Please leave it alone I would how to say it was serene and that they did the perfect amount of development without ruining our coastline...i.e,with houses No change Wetlands Seating area to view the sunset, cars, beach and people watch. Easy access, parking and relaxed atmosphere while keeping the coastal vibe intact. No improvement. Nature is the most beautiful. Same as it is today. Open space The highway has been moved to the east. Area is very open Parking is more to the east A balance of natural beauty with public park and trails No changes - people walking, biking, running, surfing as they do today. I would love it to remain the same. General up-keeping. I would be very upset if it became crowded, a lessened view of the ocean, and hotels. That it looks the same as it did 30 years ago. Beautiful undeveloped and just the ocean It will look lime it does today It wouldn't have changed at all. The word improvement doesn't work here. Developing this special part of our coastline would be far from an improvement improvement. Natural open space, safe streets free of homeless camps or rogue RV squatters and clean beaches. Outdoor activity and a variety of restaurants, casual and fine NO CHANGES It would look the same as it does today It would be restored with natural wetland habitat and the invasive plant species would be removed. Lots of nature and undeveloped land. Natural beauty untouched by humans over-building. And I seen area that has been allowed to be a true open space And not filled with junk stores. Stop the over developing Beauty and a welcoming community paths down to the beach, with shaded pavillions, people of all ages, and abilities enjoying the beauty of our coast First off, the city finally started caring about preserving the "village" like aspect of our city. They showed this by focusing on natural conservation of the area and providing outlets for the communal aspects of the city. Such outlets would include a park which provides an area for locals to hang out with their kids at a park or to exercise with calisthenics. Beyond this, the city focused on preserving the natural beauty of the coastline as opposed to building it up with restaurants and retail stores. Keeping a beautiful landscape through the area would be a fine Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: addition as well. The absolute worst thing to see 20 years from now would be a recreation of Oceanside's metered parking and the built up aspects of cliché beach cities. I see nature, unobstructed views of the ocean. Not too many cars. Not to feel as in shock as I was when I drove back to the OC via the Coast to see the over development of Laguna and I cried when I saw Huntington Beach. A Mess. Improved meaning left alone and in a more natural state, and the ocean water actually is clean. "Improved" doesn't mean real estate development. No people!!!! No restaurants. No shops. Just open space. Pretty much the same, just a cleaned-up pathway with grass between the path and road Traffic, smog, noise pollution, lack of natural birds and fauna. I don’t see anything that would improve it from what it is I would find a unique slice of the California coastline , a place where young and old can enjoy the ocean shore park ,busy with laughter ,conversation and outdoor activities but separated from the noise of the highway and motorized traffic A park setting similar to Heisler Park in Laguna Beach. Beach view, garden area like Solana Beach rail walkway open space, walking and biking paths Unchanged since the original days joy to the world An open area for people to walk, jog, amble with friends and enjoy the sky, water and view. Keep it simple. Ample parking. NO HOTELS IR RESTAURANTS. A pleasant view of the ocean, sky and open green open space with no commercial interference. A restful and joyful picture of nature. More families enjoying the scenery and more people being able to exercise without being bothered by people leisurely walking around. If you’re enjoying a day at the beach, and forgot to pack lunch, there are options available there to find food without having to leave the beach and lose parking. A chill and surf friendly community without as much as possible commerce Natural scenery sans commercial buildings (allow one and others follow) with walkways and seating areas to view the sea It’s open and natural space Beautiful natural landscaping with few walking/bike paths but places to pause and enjoy the beautiful sights I hope in 20 years it is just as natural as it is today Nature can’t be improved upon. Leave it just as it is. Not much open coastline left and it would be wonderful to preserve this area for future tourists and residents It is the same! It resembles the pristine conditions of the beach at Camp Pendleton or San Onofre Views and clean fresh air Clean, uncluttered, world class , destination type feel beach access Depends on rising ocean levels. Greener areas and easier parking and safer walkways and access to the beach Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would see no shops, hotels, or buildings at all. Just a bike path in the road as there is now. Maybe paint the current bike path green so it is easier to see. Parking improved and moved out of view, beautiful pristine views of undeveloped beach and ocean Open green space offering walking/biking lanes with views of the ocean without the congestion of traffic or unneeded shops. Just a place for residents to enjoy the wonder of the area. the open space perseveres. some cool food places and some very limited shops. NO residential PLEASE. A safe place to walk and enjoy the view. Maybe a bench to sit and rest and have lunch or dinner similar to Cardiff where there are nice restaurants along coast. Carlsbad has almost none of this, as of now Ample parking. Open space for walks and hiking. Picnic areas and playgrounds. The road is moved towards the east. There are a few parking lots with staircases leading down the cliff to the beach. Walking and biking trails throughout the entire area, along the coast, and along the open space. Keep it open, preserve the beauty of the open space and the ocean, but make the beach access easier (scrambling down the cliff at Turnarounds is a mess). Maybe concessions stands in parking lots at places like Dip in the Road and Turnarounds. a place for everyone, all ages. Parking for handicapped. We like the beach too. I see unobstructed coastline, meaning no shops, restaurants etc. It would be a place I can go with my family and enjoy the ocean and views. Parks, trails for walking safely without worrying about cars or bikes hitting my grandkids (20 years from now!), and a road far enough away to lessen traffic noise while enjoying nature at its finest. 60 acres of developed and accessible public park space with park-like amenities. Drop off points along the beach, public parking to the interior and a recurring sand replenishment process. Paved pedestrian and bicycle paths along the bluff tops. Wide, shaded green lawn space behind the beach to provide recreational space for significant population growth. I would see an open area with natural native plants and realize the people of Carlsbad had the vision 20 years ago to set aside open space along the beach/coast that everyone could enjoy and appreciate for many years to come. I would say, "Wow, thank you Carlsbad planners." wide meandering boardwalk (a la Santa Monica) with parking and access to the beach. road moved from current location east. a few shops and a lot of open space, perhaps a park to throw a frusbee That it has remained in its natural and undeveloped state so people can walk, jog, bike and enjoy the space as close to natural as possible. We have enough shops, restaurants and developed areas. Please do not take away the little that remains. Open grass park with coastal tress, no commercial business. Peaceful serene unlike the rest of Carlsbad. The building makes it look like Orange County and is not welcoming. I take guests to Wncinitas or Oceanside. No change. Leave it natural It would be untouched. We don’t need to look like San Diego. Leave some nature. We need clean air somehow and adding more traffic, more people, and contesting the whole area is not the way to improve OPEN LAND. It’s pathetic that investors feel the need to grab up every piece of what’s left of our beautiful coast line. Stop catering to tourists and think about the locals. the ocean, the shoreline and the coastal trail open and free of commercial use An outdoor paradise with minimal intrusion by man, just a few food concession stands that don't interfere with the natural outdoor feeling Along Carlsbad Blvd, there are sidewalks, and people are easily able to walk from the Coaster station to the beach. In the underutilized land, a small, dense village center is created, with shops, as well as new parkland. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Half of the road has been converted into a separated bikeway (and busway, if possible) that is fun and safe to casually ride along. Some of the freeway-like connections/conditions of the road (such as with Palomar Airport Rd) have been modified and simplified to improve safety and walkability. Wide walkways with an unhindered view of the ocean. Benches or walls to sit on. Beach access. Any commercial property east of walkways. More ugliness, more monuments to greed and excess, more money making businesses to profit from the land. Pristine walking trails. I would like the natural beauty to be preserved. There would be adequate parking so I could visit the beach and/or restaurants and food trucks. The bike riders would have dedicated lanes moved inland, so that the bikers who currently don't obey traffic rules and pull in front of traffic would pose less of a danger to themselves and and to other vehicles. The unobstructed view of the quintessential California beach experience- like the protected national parks- something we must preserve for future generations A place where kids can run around, you can safely bike along the coast over looking the water. exactly as it is now ......and someone bulldozed the big hotels on the south end and returned them to their natural beauty What I see in twenty years is what I would see today. Leave it the way it is. Vibrant area with lots of people going to beach or restraints, and not just roads. More open spaces A seamless first class oceanfront experience which starts with the way Carlsbad Blvd has been developed north of Tamarack and continues with beach access, safer bike and walking/running lanes, parking options (some paid), restaurants, cafe's, coffee shops and outdoor decks/patios so people can sit and enjoy the ocean views. Walking paths leading to and a long side the beach, family friendly gathering areas for bonfire picnic games bbq area type activities I would be able to bring my kids and remember the times we would go there as a family. We aren't beach people - and would go to the coast more if there was something to do. Sight and sounds of oceans with all cars in large paved parking lots not in front of cliffs benches for resting and ocean view.flush toilets at parking lots.fast food at parking lots and low cost indoor outdoor fried fish franchise near pier Open space Walking paths and maybe a few more parking areas so people can enjoy the natural unobstructed beauty of the beach. Not everything has to have shops on it! PLEASE leave some coastal land unobstructed! Parks Left natural with little impact & free parking. It's good as it is. It would be ugly with more cars, people, or buildings there A beautiful natural preserve Seeing the beautiful, natural, pristine oceanside would bring tears to my eyes. It's perhaps the #1 reason the Southern California Coast is the most desired destination for vacationers and visitors in the US. I sure hope there is no interest in investing in something similar to the Hedionda Nordstrom Mall Nightmare, which would've not ended well. A communal space with people of all ages enjoying different activities. natural coastline untouched but maintained for safety and preservation; accessibility If it has been "improved", it won't be just how I like it. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I think the “improvements” would ruin the natural beauty of the coastline. Why would you want to do that? Active people about, shops busy, areas of quiet-yoga in the park, no cars, small trolly to drop off from remote lot. Trees, benches, playground for kids, calm atmosphere away from ever-expanding downtown. A wide open strip park with a multi-use path(s). A two lane road toward the east side. A few casual (beachy) restaurants, a few shops that rent or sell items that support beach and park use. Occasional events, maybe the farmers market, concert in the park, etc. Just look at North Carlsbad Blvd and you have the same footprint Ocean views. Artwork that accents ocean views. Pedestrian friendly are. Wide bike lanes for cyclist. A welcoming area to enjoy CA coastal views I’d like it to look like the Ocean Blvd walking area in Santa Monica A plan that is consistent with the Point Beach Area. Better parking area and access. Ununterupted view. Steady traffic flow, no businesses on the coastline. Just a place where people can visit and enjoy the beach, cliffs and views. Unobstructed view, large pathways for bikes and for jogging and walking. Small stores on the eastern side of land for quick stops and gatherings, coffee, smallrestaraunt like the camp store. It is a world renowned beautiful space that other cities want to emulate, a native garden and areas to walk, meander and learn, peacefully - on a scale of beauty similar to the meditation garden in Encinitas. Additionally, there would be clean public restroom facilities and water bottle filling stations. There would be picnic areas with composting and maybe a "food forest". No retail, no restaurants. Areas where one can learn about the natural geographic land features, oceanography, and the native people and other people that have passed this way. It would have space for art to intermingle with the landscape - similar to battery park in nyc - and some innovative features - from a contest of designers and artists that would demonstrate how we can work with rising seas, to have a better future for generations to come - and how we have elimated plastics from our oceans. No development remain largely what it is today. Why does every space need to be developed????? 1. Smooth transition of roads at PAR and blvd. 2. More parking. 3. Marked crossings. I would like it to look the same , maybe with more maintenance to the area to keep trash cleaned up and coastline preserved I be sad that it was commercially developed I wish I would see the same thing Beautiful coastline untouched by over development where nature is surrounding you and open land seen from the shore Wide walking trail with separate trail for bicycles. Some grassy park areas with mostly natural terrain. Ability to access coastline beaches with areas to have fire pits/bbq areas. I do not see vendors or retail beyond poinsettia area. Trails, parks, beach all enjoyable without the danger of traffic or cliff collapse. Like Powerhouse Park in Del Mar, but parking would be easier. Sorry kids we tried to save this for you but money and greed had its way nature only no cement or building or houses just nature Beautiful park with trails, picnic tables, playground structure, benches to view the ocean, walkways down to the beach, and parking on the eastern edge. Leave it undeveloped! Open space Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Being able to bike from Carlsbad to Encinitas safely off the road, followed by a workout facing the beach, having the kids play on a playground followed by coffee and ice cream! Hope that it has stayed exactly the same Nice park with several bathrooms where I could walk near the beach with enough parking that you could actually use it There is a wide beach with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy outdoor coastal recreation. Roads, businesses, and other development are safely located away from the coast. Even with sea level rise, Carlsbad's proactive planning has resulted in its iconic beaches still being there for everyone to enjoy. Excavations like it is today. We don’t need more development. Let’s have some natural beauty and low cost of maintenance like it is today. Walking and biking trials, gardens, coffee and ice cream shops, restaurants with music and outdoor patios I see a coastline that stretches out southward and before me. very few electric lights. a place for families to enjoy the beach late into the evening without feeling unsafe. It’s so so beautiful now. It really just seems so natural. It would remain as is As much open park space as possible. We need to keep some of our city open. There is construction all over Carlsbad. No change from 20 years. Still an awesome beach town without any of the build up so common along other once amazing beach towns. I grew up in Dana Point until 1995. I don’t even recognize it now. It has lost all its soul. Don’t make Carlsbad a concrete coastline of retail. Better access to the beach and parking that is paved Lots of native plants with color. Clean. Some been space with walking paths and Ben he’s with ocean view above rvs, maybe some sculpture or other art work. Good bike lane. Dogs on the beach, no homeless people, open access to the beach (no private homes blocking the shore) The sand and the ocean. I would have the greatest respect for the citizens and leaders of Carlsbad in their effort to not turn that area into the Blight which is South of Newport Beach along the coastline. clean, open areas to view the scenery I could walk on a walkway with a view of the ocean. Walkway separate from bike, skateboard, skating lanes. Minimal concessions, not a row of restaurants, no junk stores or retail. Maybe a grassy area for sitting on picnic blankets or benches. It would look a bit more like the area at Laguna Beach. I hope to remain a quiet local’s area. I'm able to walk on the beach and grab a bite I would like it to stay exactly the same. Everything last place is developed these days. Please leave it untouched. Small shops to walk through, little traffic, areas to sit and enjoy the ocean view Walking trail not near cars. Coffee shops and nice restaurants. Beach access from South Carlsbad. Hopefully a area still mostly open area with very little commercial stuff Would be nice to have good picnic space with benches and umbrellas and easy bike parking So clean! So much space to spread out! And my flying car has a free place to park right away! Just like it is today. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: I would get the feeling of a maintained beautiful walking, jogging, biking area where you take in our gorgeous coastline without seeing or hearing cars or businesses I want to see this land untouched for years to come. There is nothing to improve along this stretch. I hope it doesn’t look like the village the city has ruined It’s perfect now. Please, please, please… leave it as is. Carlsbad's coast is even better than when I arrived here 71 years ago! With the advent of self-driving electric shuttles, we have a beautiful, environmentally responsible shorefront corridor that allows citizens of all races and economic status to experience this precious resource. friends and families gathering in little pocket parks along our beautiful coastline. People hiking and biking along separate trails getting exercise without fear of cars. No large buildings such as hotels or retail stores. No residential. Keep it safe, clean just like it is now. No commercial developments!!! I would be so happy to see the highway moved inland because it will literally save that stretch of beach. i joined surfrider's king tide walk in December and it gave me a pretty good idea of what's gonna happen as sea levels rise - this is our opportunity to create more space for beach and usable coastline. that's way I chose "none" for all the shops. If we build stuff there, we're just gonna have to deal with it later as the sea rises. Additional room to bike and walk as well as nicely built cafe, restaurant and brewery that do not block the view and dont take away from the beach access or sitting area Lots of open space with native plants, access to the beach, low density, casual dining and drinking nearby Lots of parking and access to the beach Still feels natural. More trails, less concrete, few or no shops Parklike walking paths along the bluffs; restrooms every 1/2 mile and portapotties in between; steps to beach regularly; 1-3 ocean view restaurants with residents given priority on reservations! It looks and feels like it does now...the worst thing we can do is overdo what is already beauitifully done. I’d be dismayed by the congestion. Open views, natural setting, full access to the ocean Pedestrian and bike-friendly area full of amenities and activity. Vibrant community feel. Relaxed roadway, still wide open, but with improved pedestrian access for walking/running. I would be overjoyed to see it hasn't changed. Sorry but I probably won’t be around 20 years from now an open space that families could gather A passive walkable park like setting with a few restaurants and open picnic space open space with trails and park-like areas. plenty of places to park to access beach It would start with a scenic drive down the coastline with a beautifully designed and installed seawall with plenty of available parking. My family and I would enjoy a walk, squish our toes in-the-sand, grab some food and enjoy the amazing sunsets no change to the highway and left the same with it's natural chaparral look like Moonlight beach only bigger. Clean Well-maintained area for kids and families to enjoy Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Open views and access to the beach for all to include walkers, runners, families and disabled, I still see the natural coastline, not man made cement structures filled with homeless people. Open coastal views and access with no commercial structures to ruin th current unspoiled beauty something nice that's developed and accessible, not just overrun landscape that people drive by but can't stop and enjoy. I see people Walking along a large clearly designated walking path. I see people riding bikes in a wide bike trail. I see families enjoying a picnic on a grassy area. I do not see any shops restaurants or buildings. Open space , walking trails An awesome balance between unfettered views; beach/shore activities; Joggers/walkers/cyclists and vehicle drivers safely coexisting and; locals and tourists enjoying fine/casual dining and other faire. Ability to park Better parking, no more new buildings...keep it the same and natural A vast open space with an unobstructed view. No hotels or recreation type facilities I see expansive parks along the bluff tops, with wide grass fields where people are picnicking, many benches where families are taking breaks and resting, and small playing fields where people are playing pick-up soccer, hackey-sack, frisbee, and catch. All of this is surrounded by natural vegetation and quickly growing shade trees. The section of the coast West of the 101 is evenly split between natural vegetation and landscaped parkland. Running on the West side of the 101 is a wide, two-way paved multi-use path that connects to sections in Oceanside and Encinitas, where people are rollerskating, skateboarding, and riding bikes. Just to the West of that path is a narrow, natural-surface path where people are jogging. The 101 itself has been narrowed to one lane in each direction, with a speed limit of 20 miles per hour, and buffered bike lanes on each side where e- bike riders and sport cyclists are whizzing by. The East side of the 101 is lined with two to four story mixed-use developments, with retail, restaurants, and markets on the bottom floors, and a mix of market-rate, senior, and affordable housing on top. The wide sidewalk put front is busy with people enjoying the view and running errands in the mixed-use development. People are walking and rolling to the coast on wide sidewalks bikelanes that connect the coast to the nearby Coaster Station. Cafes, bar, restaurant all bike /walker friendly undisturbed native vegetation and wildlife only improvement to maintain roadway Excellent. I would see between three and six modern>casual>fine dining restaurants in this zone, established and thriving with afternoon and evening life! With glasses being raised in toasting occasions and the setting. This would be an amazing addition of commerce to the beach/ocean front that is severely lacking - almost non existent - and massive value add (especially considering there are no NCTD rails impeding such development or vistas. The same undeveloped beach area I enjoy. Atop with your crazed development Carlsbad. You're turning into a horrible city. Lots of open space and park grounds and some retail shops Exactly how it is now. Pretty much the same as today a vibrant but quiet area where seniors and mothers with strollers can sit in the sun, enjoy the weather but no hassle No development Open space and recreational opportunities in safe spaces. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Open area for a park, improved beach like they have done done in Cardiff. A pristine coastal view with a walking path Hopefully no further development to spoil what little peace and tranquility we have left. Peaceful and calm walkable area to enjoy the ocean. Perhaps have a sea wall similar to the one at Tamarack that runs down to the village. I ride my bike along a path and stop for a burger and beer on a deck overlooking the beach and ocean It will be exactly the way it is now. It should look the same!!! more pedestrian and view oriented land use Open space with trails and a visitor center like at Torrey pines Nothing developed. All open space It would look like it does today so all generations could understand and appreciate what the coast of California looked(s) like Open space parks with lots of parking and restrooms I hope to see things exactly as they are now - nothing has changed. The roads and landscaping have all been well maintained but there is no new construction or added shopping/dining in this area. Lots of sand. Nice place to walk. Ocean view from street walking and cars. Good coffee. Good food. Place for kids to play A wide open public space with grass and plantings, seating areas, trees & available shade, and, most importantly, safe, wide walking/hiking trails on the ocean side of the area/top of the bluffs, safe bike lanes that have a buffer between vehicular traffic. Absolutely NO hotels, condos, vacation rentals or the like. This entire area preserved for public use. Beautiful parks There would be nothing done to it because we love our untouched coastline A casual dining area on one end and a fine dining area on the other. There’s a green park in the middle with tables and benches to watch the ocean while picnicking Open, free to use spaces for Carlsbad residents. ID would confirm. Visiting parties could pay a reasonable amount. More ocean view dining would be nice. Man made Development is not always an improvement. In 20 yrs, clear coastal views may be extinct if dumb ideas like this prevail Accessible walkways across from hotel and mobile home park. Casual eateries and maybe a fine dining restaurant with ocean views. Very similar to what it is now. Open space, not a lot of people and what California once looked like. We don't want it to look like LA, Orange County, or Pacific Beach Beautiful access to the ocean with views, not shops and restaurants. I see a natural setting that you can walk safely enjoying the sea air, maybe some benches with a shade structure, and water for people and pets Modern, open spaces to be active and have gatherings. An enhanced beach with more sand and less rocks ,walking paths, a park, restaurants , coffee/tea shops, and dog friendly areas! I would start my day with a coffee drink & a croissant at L’atelier de Paris in the Poinsettia shopping center. I would then walk over to Ralph’s to get some fresh fruit & cubed cheese to snack on at the beach. I look across Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: the parking lot and see that Pelly’s now has a large standalone restaurant. I make a mental note about coming back here for fresh grilled halibut tonight at Pelly’s. Now I am walking down to the beach to enjoy my day. This is exactly why I visit Carlsbad. little traffic, sleepy, clean beaches, open spaces, no high density housing Lots of people enjoying the beach, views and activities Extension of seawall with wide sidewalks; additional parking coordinated with beach access; A natural feeling coastal experience for bikers, runners and walkers. Great views, safety from vehicle traffic, a calming coastal experience. Possibly anchored by some retail services such as casual dining. Slow easy traffic, uncrowded beaches, clean streets, clean beaches. A chance to enjoy nature not crowds green space with benches and parking A limited amount of local-type (non-franchise) retail with slower traffic and protected areas for pedestrians and cyclists. The same exact thing you see today. Don’t change it. You’re going to destroy a beautiful part of the coast. Free parking. Parks. I see an area with parking, more beach access, outdoor space to walk, pickleball courts, and restaurants. It’s exactly Yuen’s me as it is now views of open space and the ocean Modest, complementary development that preserves the coastline but makes it more enjoyable designation to visit I'd love to see tons of natural open spaces. Safe Walking paths, clean restrooms, available parking No building, no more dirty parks for homeless to take over. A natural habitat maintain the integrity of the CA coastline without adding more traffic and congestion. Why don't you utilize the open space between Poinsettia and La Costa that already exists instead of letting out of town developers ruin this part of the coastline. Think about it! Untouched coastline with open spaces It’s exactly as it is now playing with my kids and grandkids in a park like setting. Having picnics. Going for a run on the coast I hope the city would not destroy our beautiful coast line I'd see mostly open space with a few places for picnicking, a few restaurants, walking paths, beach access, playground area. Open space Open space for people, like a park, not commercial space. walking/biking trail along the coast, cute little eateries and shops, picnic tables with shades, bathrooms Open space with ocean views I see the community having more space to apprecaite the ocean and the scenery. Runners, bikers, dog walkers and families getting to enjoy the outdoors and really appreciate Carlsbad's coastline. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: It looks EXACTLY the same as it does today, not butchered by people or developers. Please DO NOT mess up this stretch of PRISTINE nature!! Fix the erosion. There are deep revines that need filling. People use them as access to the beach and make it worse! Families walking along the boardwalk to sit at a casual restaurant to drink coffee/eat/drink. Finding free places to park to visit the beach. Biking safely preferably off road. It's the same. Its not developed. there is natural beauty there, which makes it unique. You are ruining the coastline and downtown. Please stop or we will mobilize to oppose you like we did the strawberry fields plan. Open space park, walking trails, viewing areas to the ocean, picnic spots, enclosed dog park, seasonal concession stand only open during the summer (serves beer/wine at sunset time). An open, natural landscape where traffic is not invasive and parking is convenient but not imposing. DO NOT DEVELOP God's natural beauty of south Carlsbad beach on land with natural vegetation with an unobstructed line of sight to ocean horizon. less commercial real estate, more beach, less traffic, more open space People enjoying the beach & trails. The area is clean & well maintained. Cars/traffic are away from the actual beach area. one of the few places left that natural beauty can be seen because its undeveloped Several healthy / organic / farm to table food options. A few local coffee shops like Revolution and Bird Rock (not a starbucks anywhere in sight). A beautiful winery & kombucha spot. All with outdoor seating and a view of the ocean, like in most other developed countries that have beachfront real estate. Zero tourist shops selling unnecessary crap, beach gear etc. No fast food chains. No concession stand. People are walking around and enjoying themselves, but it's not too crowded. More La Jolla or Del Mar vibes than PB or Moonlight. keep it as natural as it can be No additional commercial property. Just clean trails and natural parks with out big parking lots or additional vehicle traffic. I see being able to enjoy watching the surf and sunset while having a bite to eat without spending $$$$$$. The way I saw it 50 years ago.....little traffic, sandy beach, safe access to beach and safe walking trails along highway Open space and possibly a park Beach paradise! Casual and carefree. Locals and visitors strolling along CBD coastline enjoying casual dining and cute retail shops. Carlsbad is my forever home. Moved here from crowded Orange County. I see a beautiful, safe walkway from La Costa to Carlsbad Village Dr. where I can see, hear, and smell the ocean. I see beautiful spots to rest and relax where you can watch a sunset. I see a few (not a lot) of well run dining experiences where I can have a glass of wine or snow cone. I see how easy it is to push a wheelchair on the walkway. I see plenty of parking and easy access to the sand. gorgeous views, free parking, handicap spaces, less traffic, safe walking paths, curb protected bike lanes separate from pedestrian walking paths, places to sit, easy (no stairs or high bluff) beach access Preserved and protected coastline with a safe walking path, a bathroom/shower facility, and uninterrupted ocean view. I would NOT like to see any kind of retail or housing development. Protected open space…. The road as been moved and the shoreline has been protected. There is a park area for people to enjoy then view. There is additional parking. There are safe bike lanes. I see people enjoying beach access, recreation opportunities and gathering at a couple eating spots. I see some, but minimal improvement, I see people enjoying the ocean as if it was frozen in time back to the 60's/70's ??? Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: multitude of dining, entertainment, open space, breweries/winery options as well as a distinct sense of place that echoes the culture of North County Coastal like you see in Encinitas/Leucadia. I would like to see it in its natural state and NOT overdeveloped. No retail. No commercial ventures of any type. Just native California coastline. parking lot with paths east and west it would look the same safe seperation between the coast hwy and the runners, walkers and bikers. plenty of restaurants and retail. inland parking Exactly the same as today Protect some open space. We need sidewalks and bike lanes. The beach is not accessible due to bluff collapse. The city should consider installing drainage to protect the bluff from further erosion. We need some type of park in the south end of the city. The closest park is Cannon Park which gets heavy use. Unless you live in Terramar, you have to drive to a park. There should be some park somewhere in the Southwest section of the city. Right now there is nothing. No, the State Beach should not be considered a “city park” or “city open space”. The city needs to actually put some space aside. "Shelves" of green space similar to Dana Point where families can throw down a picnic blanket on grass and enjoy the weather and the view keeping area natural and enhancing natural beauty A nice combination of walkable easy access shops and restaurants (not good chains) with walking trails and safe bike lanes. A more walker friendly experience of the scenic coast line and beaches I see a natural habitat that has not been disrupted by man’s ability to destroy the natural environment. I still see a similar landscape, relatively untouched, but with some simple convenience amenities. People enjoying and using the coast line Easy access to beach with necessary amenities. Fire pits would be fun. Untouched, undeveloped just as I remember it from 20 years ago. The Sunset magazine raving about historic 101 drive. As much of the undeveloped natural habitat as possible without government fees and restrictions and free parking areas at least 100 yards east of coast highway obscured by natural-like landscape. a large open area with benches, picnic areas lots of grass Ease of getting around, bustling with people but not overly crowded and no lines, one-stop shop so you can enjoy the beach for longer periods Original California coast travel 20 sets of sand volleyball poles like in Ocean beach, Manhattan beach, and Huntington beach Keep it in its natural state! Do not change from current. Easy beach access and beautiful views. Plenty of natural beach habitat. NOT junked up or blocked with a bunch of stores, hotels and restaurants. Adequate parking for the smaller venues. I would prefer smaller shops/restaurants as opposed to mega shopping and/or huge brewery/bar/restaurants. Wide enough sidewalks for pedestrians and strollers. (I love Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: the all way crosswalks Carlsbad currently uses.) Possible bike accessible lanes without limiting/losing car traffic lanes. Make it a tourist destination I would like to see it remain more natural, but with increased access for residents/visitors to include parking areas, grassy areas, picnic tables, a playground, multiple beach access points (stairs), integrated art, maybe a nice garden area for weddings or parties. I would prefer not to see large stores, restaurants, breweries, etc which would detract from the natural feel of the area and make it too crowded. Bike and trail paths. No structures I would see open area that respects the natural beauty and preserves the coastline in its most natural state Open space that looks as nature as it did 100 years ago. Walking trail/sidewalk, otherwise no development. Open space Lots of views of ocean and inland hills Traffic control Public access Big Park Carlsbad has plenty of tax revenue, less is more along this space. No more commercialization, plenty of beach access, dog beach, free parking, safe clean bathrooms. Bikes have their own lane out of the road with cars. Nothing but a money making tax producing project serving the tourists and not the local community. I see the natural beauty of the area - plants, clean beaches, and access to trails. Things are much like it was back in the time of the native Americans - with local plants. There are benches to sit on and enjoy the coast and sunsets. Using the beach to best advantage that can happen and includes all activities that can be done at the beach Keep it looking like the natural California coastline that it is, just improve the "park and walk" experience. Minimal buildings!!! We have so few spaces that look like a natural coastline. The same that it is now. A natural landscape park with benches reviewing the ocean, natural shade structures like trees. Our coast is so built up as it is let’s keep it a natural setting. Absolutely no commercial buildings at all Unspoiled views of the ocean with safe walking & biking trails. Honestly, if it looked like Heisler Park I would be thrilled. I take out of town friends up there to walk along the path, enjoy the ocean views and then have lunch at Las Brisas. It's like a big breath of fresh air and gives me a feeling of well-being just to walk out there. Like driving along the coast by Big Sur. Walking paths with easy parking and restrooms that are not noticeable Lots of people walking, sitting spaces, people enjoying the view and open space A casual atmosphere, where you can walk to from beach and get a healthy bite to eat or a smoothie or juice. Kid friendly healthy options. A place to picnic after a bike ride. Shade as reprice from the sun. A place older kids and adults can be active w climbing or play a structure, swings an adult can use, nature like structures. Outdoor exercise area. Beach access with grassy park A lot of people on the bluffs enjoying the sunset, sitting outside at picnic tables connected to a brewery, and people going back and forth from the beach to those two things An enjoyable experience with the sea Easy access to the coastline with no housing or buildings blocking the view where people can walk, run, look out at the ocean, enjoy the beauty of our coast and have the feeling that a small section of nature is being preserved and it is part of my backyard Open space to walk or sit and enjoy view of ocean Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: open space, no retail or restaurants or houses, people using the space to bike, run and relax keep it small town. I love the beach in carlsbad to have lots of open space. Space to enjoy the ocean and our family! Don't crowd it with shops please! I hope it doesn't take 20 years, because I'm 60! My number one ask is a dog beach. How hard can it be to find a small beach where we can bring our dogs off leash? ? A place without cars and RVs, more like a botanical garden with trails that led to the lagoons Modern roadway, dining with a view of ocean, strolls along walk ways with ocean views The campground is gone. The highway is gone. It has places to stop and enjoy nature, parks, green spaces. There are no commercial businesses, restaurants, etc. like listed in the previous questions. A natural open space, park setting. Carlsbad is one of the remaining open spaces on county beaches other than Torry Pines let's keep a part or parts of it undeveloped. Leave it alone. No more development Being able to walk along Coast and see the sunset. Families enjoying the pathways without bikes. A designate bike lane so everyone is safely separated. Natural habitat, no noise except the sounds of the ocean and animal life that can thrive here. Abundant sea life restored because the area has been declared a marine preserve. People enjoying ocean-view dining at a wide variety of price points. A place where people go to meet others and enjoy the outdoors that has easily available parking. A park and walking trails Open land green grass, a place to stop and take a breath of fresh air and open space Landscaping, parklike setting, unrestricted views. Keep its natural look, no buildings I can stop and have a glass of wine while admiring the view. I can shop where all the products are from locals. I can hang out with my dog in a dog friendly park area. well attended with pathways in various directions. beautiful stone buildings matching the colors of the nature around. Beach chairs and umbrellas scattered around. A bike path along the highway. Sport structures such a volleyball nets etc. A beautifully landscaped area filled with parks, playgrounds, walking paths and bicycle lanes. There would also be little shops and restaurants interspersed along the way. As much uncluttered open space as possible. Safe biking lanes. System of hiking trails Building here would not be an improvement. Just as it is now-I have lived here for over 20 years and every attempt to do something takes away from it's beauty!! Please don’t put any more shops or restaurants or cafés. We don’t need it. A trail would be nice, perhaps a little picnic area. Let’s preserve the natural beauty of this stunning city we live in. I’ve lived here since 1972 and the ocean is beautiful we missed I On the lagoon on lake perfect for restaurants the same as it is now, natural open space In 20 years, as with other preserved green spaces in Carlsbad, we have preserved this coastal strip as well. Listen, I know that it's retail that generates a lot of the tax revenue for the city, and I am all for it, but this particular strip doesn't need to be transformed. There are only a few places with an ocean view on the 60 acres Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: (along the slope of the northbound road), it has a wetlands section, and any retail would appear as a long, congested strip mall. Yes I am an old Carlsbad dude but I am also pro-business, I was in favor of the transformation of the strawberry fields, But here, make this a native habitat, along a beautiful stretch, of the Carlsbad coastline. If you are compelled to do something, make it a fee-based parking area, rebuild the bridge at the Canyon de Las Encinas waterway, proving for a pedestrian trail under the southbound highway, and light and heavily landscape the parking area. Beautiful park with people sitting outside sipping coffee while their children play A quiet villiage without rowdy tourist invasion Visually beautiful with a robust active life. Like a southern village without too much density Open space, with room for passive gathering, walking, sitting. No commercial business, no housing. Free parking with easy access to beach and bluffs. Some areas that are designated pet-free. Love pets, but sometimes they get in the way of a nice evening. Ample lanes for cars, bike lanes and separate pedestrian lanes Beach Open area NO RETAIL Nothing over 1 story, no giant buildings closing in the space. I would love a destination restaurant, original shopping districts (no chains) with walking and biking paths and lots of room for beach activities. We could bike or scooter over and spend the day/evening. Beach access with parks,hiking trails,bike path Open spaces, with a couple casual eateries and coffee shop, good bike lanes, a playground pedestrian / bike friendly area where the family can enjoy the beach It will be paved and full of tourist shops with trash cans overflowing. Probably another Seaport Village Open space with no cars Just the tower area completed, cleaned up and a larger park area completed, with park. A trail around the lagoon. It highlights the City’s location on the ocean as one of the Premier coastal destinations in the region. Lots of views of the ocean for the entire stretch A mostly natural setting enhanced by flowing paths, clear ocean views, easy beach access, park like setting with minimal but thoughtful support like rental, food and lots of free parking near to road and away from beach allowing an easy 'quick stop' to enjoy just for a few minutes or stay the day the same enjoyment as I experience today Unspoiled, untouched, original California open space, ease of access, unhindered view of ocean, hiking, picnicking areas A parking garage/more parking spaces to access beach. The above Parking moved farther away and not parallel. More parking but not on beach side . More views and a boardwalk Well-maintained open spaces for walking and camping, ample free parking in designated lots, the ability to beach camp in a camper, tent or rent one of the few little cabins. A few little shops for necessities and snacks. Overall vibe is a relaxed sleepy beach town. I feel safe here and while there are a couple of more upscale spots, not everything is so fancy that I can’t afford it. Ride my electric bike without dodging traffic and stop in for a beer or coffee while charging my electric bike a great place to walk or bike and enjoy the coastline Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Overdevelopment and monetization of all of our resources. Disappointment as far as the eye can see. Palm trees, roller skating, park benches, shade trees, 20 years ago my dad passed away from ALS. This stretch of the coastline was his favorite to drive. Whenever he would come for a visit from Sacramento, he loved driving back and forth because it was so open and natural. In 20 years, I hope it remains exactly how it is right now. A walking/slow biking path that runs the length of the area and possibly a small resting point or two with benches, water fountains, and shade. Otherwise, I would like to see it the same as it is today. Most of all, I would not want to see any construction, buildings, shops, restaurants, etc. on the land. There is plenty of private development of open space with these things all over Carlsbad--the city already holds this property, so it should do something different that makes/keeps this area unique (especially since this is the coastline). In particular, "retail", "fine dining", "breweries", "casual restaurants", "convenience stores:, etc. on this coastal land seems very unnecessary and repetitive. Families and their dogs enjoying a day at the beach that hasn’t been over developed. A place where locals can still enjoy during the summer when the areas population swells with tourists. I would see open space, see the ocean and no stores, restaurants etc A quiet local place for residents. Now busy with tourists & noise. There would be parks, walking trails, easy to access parking, and very few retail places. Easier to access and enjoy beach and vistas The parking needs to further back. More crossings to the beach which favors pedestrians. You have to wait and wait for signal to cross. Dedicated walking paths Not sure I would like to change anything. Easy places to park and safe access with a bike. Be able to grab a coffee and keep walking and not have any ocean views obstructed. More beach access and parking areas I would not put anything along there because the traffic would get really bad making it very hard to get to the village. Natural, undeveloped coastline for low impact activities. Maybe some restrooms, but no buildings or commercial stuff. Again. That is looks like it does now. With improved walking and biking access. Bike and walkway, wide and comfortable, carlsbad boulevard moved eastward with minimal separation between north and south lanes I won’t be here yhen I would like to see it clean and taken care of and people picking up their own trash after they use the area. leave it mostly not commercialized and in its natural state. Pristine beauty Pristine beauty. Still untouched by retail and commercial buildings Leave it alone. It’s one of the only open spaces left along the coast. I don’t want carlsbad coastline to be like LA or Oc. Scenic views of ocean and palm trees The same Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Multiple paths down to the ocean. A few tasteful businesses supporting the area. Exclusive bike paths and walking trails. I would like carlsbad to not touch it. This city has completely overdeveloped every piece of land. Let it be so that generating can enjoy open land. Clean, natural eco-focused marina with walking paths, trees, park benches, play areas for kids and pets, safe biking and running paths I would enjoy a long walk with an ocean view and a place to dine (with table service) with an ocean view. Fewer highways (45 mph+)!slicing up the entire town, slower speed limts. Its out of control. Take a friend, rent a bike or walk. Get a cold beer and a snack afterwards and hang out. Stop in a little shop and pick up a gift. Bump into neighbors to chat. Bring a book and relax to read a bit. I see a place to park near the beach and pickleball courts, where people are both relaxing and having fun while getting exercise. Then being able to grab a bite at a place NOT on the sand. As the sun goes down I can enjoy the sunset while starting a fire in my beach fire pit and be happy that the city didn’t screw up this part of the coastline by putting in a hotel or housing or other buildings that block the view and beach access from Carlsbad residents. Then after completely putting my fire out I could walk East a bit to a brewery/wine place to enjoy a drink and snack. Perfect. Same thing as today. Why are you even considering changing/ adding to one of the last vestiges of a beach town, other than upgrades for maintenance and safety? Where are my tax dollars going if you need to further destroy coastal nature just for $$$?? Carlsbad is already losing its quaint beach town essence due to over construction. WHY are you moving your greed for more to our coast? Are you running out of places to destroy in your pursuit for more tourist dollars? Love it as is. Even more precious showing our California lifestyle This space is still as it was in the 50s! How amazing that Carlsbad preserved one bit of California’s natural coastline for future generations to enjoy! a small row of little kiosks with some different items for sale, and some hot food vendors with hot cocoa, coffee, soup, or street foods Cleaner, groomed, and natural I can park at south Ponto and walk up the trails along the beach, passing families playing, couples out for a stroll, and tourists on beach cruiser bikes and roller skates. The views are stunning and everyone can enjoy the view equally. Wide bike lanes.walking paths and picnic areas all west of the road to enjoy the ocean and sunsets.maybe parking between the northbound and southbound lanes with the northbound slightly elevated so the parked vehicles don’t block the ocean view Nice looking parking and walking path Please don’t develop this area - it is best to leave undisturbed. A place enjoyed by surfers, beach goers, pedestrians, cyclists and yes, even a few motorists for its natural scenic value and beach access. NO retail, restaurants, or housing!! Dedicated safe pedestrian paths, separate bike lanes. Restroom facilities. NO homeless encampments allowed to establish. NO van-lifers parked along the road Family friendly oriented community with open spaces and recreational uses balanced and mixed in with dinning, grocery and commercial uses. No retail just natural coastal setting Views of the ocean; Easy parking access to take part; A safe environment; The way it is. Development for tax revenue or developments sake is not progress. Commercializing this space will reduce the open space of Carlsbad Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: It perfect the way it is. People love the view. People walk or ride bike along there. I know people come from Poway just to walk along that area of beach. A less crowded place With parking free or almost free, a restroom and a food concession, I could stay all day at the beach. A beautiful day of fresh air. More parks with benches and lookouts, restrooms and beach showers, stores and great walking paths and maybe a dog park. I don’t think you care. Stop ruining our city. Natural spaces are important. Improving means letting it be. Carlsbad is unique because of its open spaces and undeveloped beaches. No more development on our coastline. relaxed dinner looking at ocean, instead of mobile homes, rvs, people who don't pick up after themselves It would look the same as today and not be interfered with “good intentions” whose man made, unintended consequences spoiled. Man's destructive nature once again to destroy what helps us learn of and enjoy, not destroy our precious gift.. leave it alone. Family friendly beach, relaxing and safe biking on the beach. Oceancentric planed areas. I see a pristine piece of nature left untouched and undeveloped- a true rarity in coastal San Diego County. Beautiful. Wild undeveloped bubble in the midst of over-development! Plenty of open space, trails, bike paths, parks and public gathering places. Long stretches of accessible, clean public beaches and lagoons. Since 20 years from now every city around us will resemble an overcrowded, overdeveloped Los Angeles-like packed urban mess. I see Carlsbad’s natural coastline will stand out like a gem, above all the rest, compared to all other cities, because we had the foresight to preserve natural beauty and open space (especially with our GMP open space requirements) that few other sellout coastal cities in California were able to do. Tourists, visitors and residents will come here to this relaxing stretch of coast because we kept our coastline underdeveloped while maintaining a rural feeling (while centralizing most of the stores, hotels and shops in Carlsbads downtown). Carlsbad will be a beach city like no other with an environment like this - timeless! Pickleball courts = family fun, community, interactive play, entertainment, exercise, nature, new connections...it's everything!!! Excellent pavement. Wide Class 2 bike lanes. 2 traffic lanes in each direction. Maybe add a sidewalk where none exits. That's it. DO NOT ADD COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OR Multi-residential development. For ever housing unit installed, you are adding 2-6 vehicle trips PER DAY. 100 units will add 200-600 vehicle trips EVERY DAY. Add commercial and that number goes up. Carlsbad has CRAPPY public transit. FIX THAT FIRST. Then build amenities that people can get to using that improved public transit. Developers only care about the return on their development. They never care about their impact on the surrounding areas. I would see an unobstructed view of the ocean where I would go to relax with my family without distractions of retail and restaurants. Maybe have a beautiful sculpture that compliments and celebrates the ocean and Carlsbad. Keep it just nature. No shops. The same beautiful views. Many steps and handicap ramps down to the beach. A smooth path to walk upon. Keep the nature and local feel, avoid making it another beach town that attracts tourist. More walking trails and less car traffic. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A place that brings the community together and delights guests unlike any other coastal city in California. The natural beauty already there is easier to enjoy by more people. Well thought out amenities allow guests to prolong their stay with convenience. Those passing by in cars and bicycles alike intentionally plan stops here. Groups congregate for activities like yoga and skating. Natural feel with parking, beach access, and bike path. No shops, restaurants, specialty foods, or other commercial establishments. Unimpeded view of the ocean. Keep the pristine ocean view -- can never get this back if we allow commercial or residential buildings along the coast. A walking path and a bike path with a few places to stop and get a drink or a bite to eat ocean view without development unless it is a path. Ocean view from the road. I don’t want to see commercial development. Walking paths, simple beach access with a bathroom and outdoor shower. Non commercial open space with coastal bluffs and beach protected from erosion. Keep it natural. Keep it wild. Green with open space and paths. A peaceful beautiful road with out businesses, and better landscaping to make nicer. Unspoiled, uncrowded wide open space, available parking, and some restrooms. No dogs, no tables, no concessions, and no additional buildings. Keep the area natural and unspoiled. Don’t build it out like Carlsbad’s central coastline, Orange County, or LA. Easy parking, less racks more sand. Getting coffee and watching the sunset Just like it was Hopefully something we’ll planned and organized Lage area of coastal protected space, with trails, walking and bike paths, rest, picnic, and lookout areas. Lots of people able to use the are spontaneously (not needing reservations). Minimal services and commercial venues, if any.Commeracil area should be east of the new north-south parkway. Beautiful scenic trails that allow access to bikers and pedestrians go up and down the coast. A center with restrooms, showers, and a couple of casual restaurants are being enjoyed by families. The mothers of these families look relieved that there is a place to grab food since they didn’t pack enough snacks. Dad is excited there is a place to enjoy a beer that has live music during the weekends. There is a convenience store selling sunscreen and offering beach chairs, boogie boards, and skim board rentals. Surrounding the restaurants are fire pits and picnic tables. Plenty of parking is available for cars and e-bikes. Is a Christine walk in our drive that is not enhanced by retail shops homeless is palmless parking lots lots of parking and empty spaces for cycling without cars A moonlight beach feel Just like Harbor Fish to Tamarack Less traffic less tourists better parking! The feel of open space, wide areas but convenient place to sit and eat. To enjoy the beach without feeling like you’re fighting outsiders or tourists. Walking and biking paths were people are safe to be. There would now be mature trees and landscaping around a picnic area with tables and benches. There would be ample metered parking and pathways leading to the beach. Open space, fewer cars, services, Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A dedicated coastal greenbelt, free shuttles running along the greenbelt from offsite parking garages and the Coaster stations. Like it to be in the natural state I see California as it should be, enhanced and protected to save the natural coastline for the next generation Dining with ocean view Bike riders, baby strollers Festive art exhibits No businesses along that stretch Lots of space with areas for those who want to relax and enjoy the quiet as well as spaces for those wanting to ride bikes and other motorized transport without disturbing people walking and picnicking Beautiful park area with trails seating good picnic area bike trails lots of shade gardens dog park open space It is much like it is now, no additional shops or concrete or other developments- it is natural and simple and undeveloped Walking the trails and sitting spots and great succulent plants Oceanfront space available to all that has Green space along with casual food/drink options that do not overtake area/views The ocean, sunsets, trails or pathways, benches , no active noisy recreation like a playground or shops that block the views Would love to see something that has remained lovely not a Coney Island. This is the last piece does it have to look and be like all the rest of the coastline. A cookie cutter? I love small beach town feel; no food chains, no giant hotels/resorts. Small art shops, fine dining, cafes, specialty shops, yogurt, coffee, people outside enjoying sports, fun, water. I have a pleasant drive along Carlsbad Blvd on a summer evening. I park, get ice cream, and take a pleasant walk in the area. I can see the stars because there are no blinding LED street lights like other parts of the City. I like it the way it is now- I enjoy the views and the break from restaurants, hotels, stores between Leucadia and Carlsbad Village. I would be very disappointed to see it built up instead of preserving the natural coastline. Everywhere is being built up and “improved”. People like open space without buildings everywhere. Just because it’s open land doesn’t mean it needs to be built on. Flourishing coastal vegetation, bike, walk-in and running lanes. Bike and car charging stations. Park space for public use in the cliff. Ocean vistas remain unobstructed; wide bike/skate/etc lanes; enforcement of noise restrictions; preservation of camping areas; easy access to hiking along the beach Walkable area by the beach Untouched coastline Exactly how it is now. Natural, red clay Sustainable design, clean and lush succulent landscapes, playground, art and murals Open space I can cycle all the way to San Diego tons of space to hang out Beautiful, grassy park People enjoying walking and biking to to the beach. People enjoying sitting by the beach with some services available. Ample parking so more people can enjoy the beach. I would like the camping to be gone. I also would not mind if it stays wild and un-developed. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Safe Walking and biking trails with plenty of parking. Bathroom facilities. There would be protected pedestrian and biking areas, there would be paths/hiking trails easily accessible, there would be places to park, it would be a preserved natural space not more of the village. Mostly parks & walking paths It hasn’t changed!! Old town feel that is centered around family activities of walking, jogging, roller skating, rollerblading, skateboarding, biking - NOTHING ELECTRIC - just the basics. Leave it alone the same A beautiful natural park area with no man made structures other than possibly paths and benches. Great views of the ocean. Little traffic noise. Less cars. More bicycles and walkers enjoying the coastline like in Encinitas by Swami's with the walking trail. Please keep most of it open space(natural). I see a natural coastline, unspoiled, no shops, no hotels. I would enjoy a beautiful view from my car or bike of the ocean without any obstruction. There is a promenade right near the coast that runs the length of the improved section, bisected by vegetation to allow separate areas for walking and biking. The promenade connects to the street access at the North and South ends, and also has offshoots connecting to a trail system around the west end of Batiquitos lagoon. The parking lot at the end of La Costa Avenue has remained and possibly even been extended so there is plenty of beach parking at the south end of the improved section, with access from La Costa Avenue. There is also parking at the North end for people wishing to access the beach. Within the center section of the 60 acres, there are park features such as picnic areas, and an amphitheatre for musical entertainment, and public art in the space, featuring local artists. The park is popular as a venue for celebrations and also for people walking, gathering for outdoor meetings, and quietly enjoying the scenery. There is a plant garden showcasing coastal native plants, with interactive planting spaces and educational & volunteer opportunities to help keep it maintained. The park is popular with school field trips due to its proximity to the beach and its art and educational features. There is an activity center that has some indoor classroom and meeting space to serve the southern part of the city, but most of the park is outdoor space. There is possibly a small concessions stand in the activity center. After 20 years, this is the only City park that does not have even one single pickleball court, and WE ARE ALL OKAY WITH THAT. Just a bike psth Open space free from concrete buildings that ruin our Coastline. Just bike paths and walking paths. We don't need any stores or restaurants. Leave Mother Nature alone. We have lost our sky in Carlsbad, I weep for our lost sky. This Southern Coastal Carlsbad is wide open sky with the magnificent Pacific Ocean adjacent. We can drive along the Coast and see the Ocean. We can walk on the beach. Beach boardwalk with nearby parking east of 101. Green areas, picnic areas. Convenience stores and casual restaurants nearby. People enjoying the natural beauty. It's a park like setting. MISERY AND DEPRESSION Better pedestrian ways, easier parking, a dog friendly beach. I would like to see a few specialty shops in small clusters but not so many that it feels like a tourist trap and that it completely obstructs the natural surroundings. preserved open space Similar to how it is. Not like Newport A place to hang out or take a stroll. A nice community feel instead of just a road. Parks, paths, dining and shopping without overdoing it Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Nice dirt walking path on elevated area where current roadway is. Access to sand from path at numerous locations. Safe bike lanes, like the Strand at Dockweiler state beach near El Segundo. One area with showers/restrooms/family area like Moonlight. NO RESTAURANTS/BARS/RETAIL!!!!! Just like it is now. Don’t overthink this. Native plants, people enjoying the natural world, surfers and families enjoying the clean ocean No commercial/retail, clean, pollution free outdoor recreation Keeps its natural beauty, relaxing, not fancy restaurants and also not chain or franchise places. Unique, casual beach oriented spots. Or parks that are beautiful and can be enjoyed for everybody. Maybe one casual restaurant with great ocean views and a place to enjoy the ocean and great sunshine! Left open for walking, hiking, picnicking Biking along and stopping to eat at a restaurant with an amazing view; easy access to the beach; showers at the beach Leave it how it is. Retains its open and beautiful coastal feel with bike paths, and a few places to stop get a coffee sit at tables over looking ocean with parking and ADA parking to over look ocean More interactive for the community, natural,native plants along a trail. Bike and walking trails like in Encinitas to Cardiff. Parking next to park area and Beach like in LaJolla. Taking the best of the coast and bringing it to Carlsbad!!!! Not touristy!!!!! I would like to see small houses, sidewalks to walk while enjoy the view and the sound of the ocean. I can bring my own blanket with the food that I bought couple block far inland from stores, restaurants, etc, that were leaving the nature at their best by itself. Grass like Del Mar powerhouse park. Trees for shade. Quality affordable food Open space. Please don’t build a lot of restaurants, buildings, etc. Part of its charm is that it’s undeveloped. If you do add things, add things for outdoor recreation, not buildings. Lots of open green space. No development. If I want shops I can drive north into the village or pop up to Palomar. I would like to see easy access for e-bikes and easy drop off for something like uber. We need more dedicated green open space along the coast. That is the treasure...open space. Walking trails, pickle ball courts, beach access easily, music venue. Protected walking and bike paths. Active park areas directly along Beach for playground, Frisbee, volleyball, etc. Art installments (both interactive and 'view only') and walking paths that blend with the beauty of the coastline. Ways for children to interact with art/games/playground that reflects the importantance of preserving the coast. The friendly environment ment that is currently there and traffic is free flowing. My concern is that with the prescribed suggestions that the city wants to implace would push all traffic to one side of Carlsbad blvd making even more congestion and thus possibly welcoming more complaints from the public, and possibly driving any businesses that might want to start in the area. Parks and bike trails, open spaces and fun indoor/outdoor casual eateries, a place for Grown ups to have drinks, spaces for kids to play around while families eat dinner. Boutique shops that are a destination location for residents and visitors. A brewery or wine bar would be a fun place to watch the sunset or waves. 20 years from now I would love to see this area improved with easier access by driving, walking and goods and services with the least impacts to the environment preserving the natural resources. I see a park with a path for bikes and pedestrians that runs alongside the beach. Open area with no shops, restaurants, etc. Area has several walking trails and places to sit to see the beautiful ocean. Open, natural, easy access to the beach, multiple ways to enjoy God creation and sunsets. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Mostly just land with paths, gathering spots, natural gardens, a small building where you could check out board games, lawn games, hula hoops, crochet... A gathering place that would draw people, several small places where you could sit and paint or write by the sea. free auto parking, walking path, landscaped with palms, much like the Carlsbad wall No more development along the coast. Ponto has already been taken over by the hotel. Please don't privatize the beach. I can enjoy the sunset and sunrise without a bunch of cars interfering in the experience. Plenty of room for people and pets to walk and ride and sit and children to play. kid-friendly beach with more parking (parking could be away from the beach and beach could be accessed by walking), playgrounds, firepits, campgrounds for locals. Food and beverage options. Bicycle and e-bike free roadway. If this area is developed, it will increase traffic and completely change the feel of this area. Our town is becoming overdeveloped and crowded. We are losing the coastal charm. Please do not develop this area and continue to give away our city to tourism, traffic, and crime. A meandering, creative city park that is focused on contemplation and relaxation. Not one cluttered by shops and commerce. I like to see more parks and shopping malls A vibrant beach town similar to the village, with a park, beach access, walking/biking paths and retail/restaurants natural landscape Open green space for family activities and relaxing, trails, trees, a few small shops, and space for festivals. Easy parking at osmcean level rest rooms and a place to have coffee I'd see people of all ages running, walking, walking their dogs, and having a picnic on open land that is a beautiful grassy patch with a few trees and a perhaps a public restroom, with a beautiful staircase down the cliff to the beach. Nothing more. Parks with benches, tables, volleyball courts, and toilet/shower facilities Natural habitat. Uncluttered. Open and free of businesses. People just enjoying walking or biking enjoying the view. Undeveloped, beautiful coastline It looks the same A clean safe area to enjoy Carlsbad and all that it has to offer Pristine ocean access with little or no retail. Easy parking, get out and go for a 1-2 mile walk (each way), being able to stop for a beer or an ice cream along the way. It would have to have some grassy areas and be open to people walking dogs, wheelchairs, bikes. Bikes would have to be separated from pedestrians. Open space, park, dog and family friendly.. Designated trails thoughtfully incorporated into natural beautified landscaping to bike, walk, jog, with a dog beach take dogs, and outside casual restaurants to stop and enjoy outdoor coffee or meal with our dogs, and places to sit and watch ocean, dolphins, whales, seals, birds, and sunsets. A multi sport park with MTB trails, a pump track, skate park, various food concessions to sell sandwiches, drinks, ice cream/frozen yogurt, benches all around for people to hang out, maybe even a small stage for local bands to play live music. Protected and beautiful open space available for walking and biking, parking on east side, undeveloped, a rarity in over-populated So CAL. Please help protect it, make is useable but not commercial. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: It's the last little bit of true SoCal coastline, preserved the way nature made it, and available to anyone to experience. A priceless asset for the future generations. NOT developed. Open space, no buildings, safe walking, kid biking path away from cars. Like palisades park in North Pacific beach- natural, cliffs, grass with sidewalk Happy residents enjoying life in Carlsbad Same uncluttered naturalness I see that it looks just like it does today. There's nothing wrong with preserving what we have today. It's peaceful, beautiful and iconic. It doesn't need to change for the sake of developing and adding more construction. Keep it the way that it is. A great place for people to congregate to enjoy the view and sunsets. A great place to walk, simple and not commercialized beyond some beach necessities. People will create their own experience with the ocean. Don't muck it up, please! Can this area be kept in its natural state as much as possible? We are losing this coastline beauty to too much development. That’s why I like Carlsbad, don’t over develop. No commercial development. Mostly like it is today, maybe a park. Open view lines, not crowded. Would hate to see it crammed like Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Old Carlsbad, LaJolla, etc. Better access & a workaround from State Campground dominance of Lagoon, Beach and ocean access for watersport & fishing access A reprieve from all the commercial interests. Nature, actually a lot like it is now only more parking or maybe shuttles from a distant parking garage. The ocean is the only wilderness North County coastal has. Please don't fill this lovely area with more buildings and pavement! I've lived here since 1962 and have children and grandchildren in Carlsbad and have seen many changes. I hope my grandchildren won't witness the end of one of the few open areas near the beach. Many pedestrians walking along the coast or bicycling, a park with Pickleball and play areas for kids & picnic areas for families and light traffic due to increased development into condos, major businesses, etc. It would be have a great meandering bike and walking paths with a mixture of native plants, grassy areas, fountains, benches and tables, and spots to check out the views. There might be small restaurants and shops but they would be far and few between with a lack of focus on cars. Similar to a balboa park, golden gate park or area that has parking on outskirts but might have buskers and activities for tourists and locals. Similar to a malecón. Open views of the ocean; easy access to the beach for seniors and handicapped; clean restrooms; no commercial establishments; nature at it's best A lush area that is filled with plants and green areas/trees. Seating for people and areas to sit on grass and picnic. Nice walkways. A beautiful coastal area not jammed full of commercial business Boardwalk where you can skate/rollerblade/etc, coffee & ice cream shops Nature, beaches, trails and open space. That’s it. No more shopping malls! Open, landscaped, pathways, views of ocean Classy but still open and natural. Just like powerhouse park in Del Mar, which would be a perfect addition to Carlsbad complete streets to accommodate the walkers, dogs, bikes, beach goers the joy and experience of WHY I CHOSE CARLSBAD to live in from 3,000 miles AWAY, 7 years ago! people enjoying time with loved ones and nature. physical exercise Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: The road has eroded into the ocean. The lack of traffic and noise pollution has brought back sea birds. The unstableness of the cliffs has detracted from the amount of visitors and the tide pools have life again. A big park with play grounds, picnic tables, a causal place to get food. Some part of the area preserved to be natural. I see a peaceful coastline with lots of open space. Definitely no huge buildings to block the skyline. Open space, park-like setting, hiking trails I see a vibrant area during the day and night with people walking on promenades eating and socializing with an amazing view. Think of Europe! A separated 2-way bike lane, people walking along public park land, and a more narrow road with mostly local traffic people, hiking paths, nature, green areas, picnic tables As much open space as possible, with walking trails Vast open spaces with walking trails, minimal concrete, and unobstructed ocean views. This is an amazing opportunity to reclaim/secure some coastal open space. I see a preserved, coastal area that hasn't been over developed by most of the other areas nearby (Oceanside, Encinitas, La Jolla) I see a beautiful, open park area where people are safe to walk and access the beach without being run over by a car or electric bike. Honestly, I would leave it as is. It is a uniquely quiet and local beach. I hope in 20 years I can park along the sand as you can today. Beachside mountain bike park Easy parking and walk to the beach Sports and cultural activities pedestrian and bike friendly coastline, undeveloped The perfect unadulterated piece of the beach area in North County I would like to see mountain bike trails/ a mountain bike park near it The same as today. Do not change. not overcrowded, still has a small town beach feel. Create boardwalk and dog parks along coast. Eliminate north end of the camping area so that nearby residents and visitors can utilize beach area currently in the campground. I like how it is now. I don’t want any changes. Beauty but I don't want this to add more traffic. It would stay much the same. It would not be built up. I see an area with slower traffic and more ability for people to enjoy recreating safely, without decreasing access to the area for those who don't live walking or biking distance away. a nice green belt with areas to relax on the grass, exercise, a path for walking. Maybe somewhere to grab a cup of tea and sit to enjoy the view. Families enjoying the outdoor spaces. Public transit options so people don’t have to drive to get to the beach so no huge parking lots needed. A dog park or multiple dog parks. Park space for picnics and kids play areas. I would be able to walk or ride on the only undeveloped coastline in southern California and Carlsbad could be known for its paths and trails at the beach and lagoons Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Ocean vistas, parks/benches, NO RETAIL, walkers, bicyclists... Open area with no development No buildings, improved natural habitat I see our Carlsbad neighbors out for daily walks along our 7 miles of beachfront. An open space concept that allow foot, bike and auto traffic to come and enjoy spending the day here to hang out. No retail or restaurants are needed. It should be nature driven not commercial profit driven. If I saw that the environment was preserved, the ocean and lagoon were clean, and wildlife flourished, I would be shocked and impressed that the leaders of Carlsbad had the forethought to consider future generations. The ocean without that hideous fence blocking my view. no highrises, hotels, or condos. No retail. Park-like area to enjoy nature. "The Village" is looking like Long B.-- high buildings, tear downs, high rents-no cute shops& interesting stores that visitors & residents enjoy.What happened? Giving into developers? Progress? Expensive restaurants? Condos? Parking problem. Sad. Open spaces, great parking, one lane 25 mph (no commuter traffic), sand replenishment annually (perhaps Jetties to control erosion), nice Mexican restaurant. Addition of a sidewalk to connect all of Carlsbad. Sea walls on Ponto Beach to reduce blowing sand Open space. Uninhibited view of ocean and beach. No cars. AS a world traveler... Untouched with minimal impact of humans and developers. Beautiful Coastline with open views of sky, ocean, and beach. Not crowded. Quaint costal town.. This is a dishonest survey and delusional - it's your responsibility to inform the citizens that the coast as you see it now won't be here in 20 years. I would like to see the improvements still in place and enjoyed by future generations. A friendly, useable are not just for tourist but our Residents to enjoy without the becoming Big City glitz and losing the warm beach like atmosphere we now have. Not a huge commercial site. A walk up food stand, a place to get coffee or other drink, benches, grassy area, restroom facilities, playground. Still having natural open space, an area reserved and off limits to development. Keeping one part of Carlsbad, carlsbad. Accessible parking on the east side with pedestrian and bike access to to the bluff side with walking/biking paths and stair or ramp access to the beach. I would like to see an area that is enjoyed by all ages with access to the beach and food. What we have right now Unchanged. Less buildings and commercial development. Catering to locals not tourists. Dog parks and pickleball courts full of native plants, walking trails, benches. A protected area that can be appreciated by all. I see a coastline without a lot of traffic and tourists. I see a coastline that is walkable and accessible. I see a Carlsbad without a city staff that send out biased surveys like this one. Nothings changed except for more natural plants and a few benches. No retail whatsoever. No gas stations, food or retail shops I would be able to park my car, buy an ice cream or coffee, sit and enjoy the sound of the waves, kids enjoying the water activities, sunsets. I could stroll, safely, with my dog. more walkability and bicycle access Very safe bike walk lane where no cars could hit people. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: As it is now, or with a safe, protected pathway for cyclists and pedestrians stretching through the entire Carlsbad coastline - similar to Manhattan Beach, Pacific Beach, or Santa Monica. Please don’t add any commercial spots along this beautiful stretch of coastline. I would like to somehow keep the natural beauty of the area. Small improvements that allow people to walk, bike along the coast line safely and enjoy the beauty and maybe get a coffee, small treat etc.. along the way and NOT be cluttered with too many other restaurants or retail stores. Just enjoy the beauty of the land and ocean view. It would not be “improved”, but stayed natural and wild. I see much better parking, maybe even a structure and extra wide bike lanes to promote safety and careless commuting Not much different from now. When I moved here the CC swore nothing would be over two stories. HA. Enough. Go East. Redo downtown but leave the coast open I'd see open space between Solamar Park and the ocean. Traffic would be routed on to Via Encina. It would look just like the promenade in the Village along PCH/101 does now with worn out grass along the edges and tons of people walking either direction. An amalgam of mindfulness/respect for the ocean and landscape with amenities like pedestrian only areas, shops and eateries. A big thing now as in the future, ways to inform the local and tourist beachgoers on how to protect and maintain our environment clean and free of pollution. An area to park and walk along that’s safe. you can not improve it you can only ruin it Open space along the coast line and perhaps a park. Room for walking/running/biking with fun local eateries/cocktails along the way -/NO chains Bike lanes completely separate from traffic. Wide open land for walking. Pocket parks to sit and enjoy the view. Not a lot of cement. Love to see natural scenery and terrain. I would see ocean... nothing else. Just an open space for the community to enjoy the ocean breezes. No BUILDINGS or VENDORS anywhere to mar the beauty peacefulness, quiet, no cars, just bikes (quiet electric ones ok) No cars, decomposed walking trails mingling around cafes/restaurants that take in the view. Separate bike trails. Accessible parking close by. Not over run with speeding electric bikes. As I walk along the path, it dips down onto the beach and then up along the bluff. There is a comfortable park bench for me to sit down and relax. I see dolphins in the water just off the shore line, I don't hear loud cars, prop planes, or motorcycles, just the sound of the waves crashing on the shore and the sound of seagulls encouraging their peers on. It is peaceful, calm, and nourishing. Something similar to Moonlight Beach with a walking trail and green space for picnics great ocean views, natural environment, good paths to walk, run and bike People enjoying easy access to the beach via walking and biking Open space, better access to the beach, more views of the beach, fewer cars, safe and separated bike lanes and sidewalks. No new development. Less density, NO shops.... keep it like it is! An open park with a music venue that can be both indoor/outdoor (here's an example with the Ovation venue in Cincinnati https://www.ckcps.com/projects/184104 also an extreme sport park with a huge zipline, climbing wall, bmx track, skateboard park, surfing wave park (for people to learn before they try our real waves), walking Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: trails for those who want to stroll and a few places to get some casual food or drink, but not a major shopping area. wonderful place to use and visit A SAFE, FREE area for Carlsbad families, dogs (on leash), to gather. pristine coastline with no cars, no campgrounds, no traffic lights ... mass-amounts of public parking along the railroad tracks with retail/restaurant/convenience options along with easy access (walking, biking, e- shuttles,etc) to large open spaces/parks w/ bluffs, hiking/biking trails, dog park/beach A beautiful, natural vegetation vista, with walking and biking trails, and a place to gather with friends for food and drinks. Would like to see it much as it is today. This area of Carlsbad Blvd is unique. A peaceful stretch of coastline to spend the day for learning and discovery with destination with minimal services low key consolidated. Enjoying a concert with views of the water? Nothing that is higher than 3 stories, buildings that have been tastefully designed to blend in with the environment. As amazing as Carlsbad is, I think it is still a little too "industrial". I would love to have more opportunity to embrace the coastline. I could picture 20 years from now just having more opportunity to sip coffee from a local coffee shop sitting in some big squishy chairs watching the surfers below. I feel like currently, whenever we have guests visiting us and we want to go to a "fancy" restaurant with an ocean view, we have to drive south to Encinitas. It would be great to have more opportunities up here in Carlsbad. Wide winding walking paths, unobstructed views, parking, safe bike riding path for families! Large bike and walking lanes. Car and bicycle charging stations. Improved and increased bathroom and beach shower facilities. Day use coffee and lunch options. I am walking with my family and dogs and viewing the sunset without any obstructions (ie. large buildings etc). We get some coffees and find a table for a picnic dinner. The grandkids play on a playground The City of Carlsbad could work with the State of California to clean up and maintain those portions that the state owns. There is an old road near South Carlsbad State Beach that is abandoned and weeds and shrubs are overgrown. Long/wide walking, biking, skateboarding path. Large section for off leash dogs along the beach. Not much else, a large, natural area of coastline is better then a bunch of retail and dining. A friendly place where people are gathering, or just enjoying the fresh air and views Still natural Not a lot of asphalt. Not as bustling as Carlsbad village. Quieter. You feel safe to walk dogs and kids because the traffic is light/slow. Well kept Nature trail. A few stores on the most inland part (coffee shop). It’s still small and intimate with the views and coastline not being compromised. Natural bluffs have been preserved. I would see kids on skateboards laughing while rolling around on skateboards. Others would be riding mountain bikes on trails specifically built for that purpose. Groups of cyclists and walkers would be enjoying the area in their own lanes. People would be walking to and from the beach with surfboards and there would be no cars anywhere! It’s exactly the way it is now. Preserved and protected More open views of the ocean; more and better interesting, casual dining options I would feel like I'm in a slice of a national seashore, with the smells of the ocean, not fried food, and watching and listening to the wildlife, instead of watching a restaurant worker smoking a cigarette during his/her breaks out back. It would look the same. A quiet, undeveloped short stretch of along the coast. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Preserved coastline with plenty of consideration of natural habitat (restoration of it where needed). Consideration to do everything in our power to have climate friendly options and consideration for the environment. Less cars, more people-powered movement. Places to ride bikes, walk, run, and enjoy the sunset/beach that don’t require tons of money ( because you’re staying in an expensive resort room). Access to these things for all residents/visitors. It looks exactly as it does now Little to no change. No building that obstructs views and creates more traffic congestion. No obstruction/slowing that makes it unfeasible for me to occasionally take this scenic route. More opportunity for walking along the coast without crowds and more places to have food/ drinks with an ocean view. I like it just the way it is now. Park like setting with paved walkways designated for pedestrians & cyclists. Green grass spaces with shade trees. Public restrooms and parking. No retail buildings to obscure the views. Much like Chicago's shoreline along Lake Michigan. No shops!!!! People playing, walking, relaxing, enjoying the sunset and the outdoors. Free of congestion due to cars and ‘hot spot restaurants’. Let moonlight be moonlight and let north Carlsbad be north Carlsbad where you can go and get those things listed in the previous inquiry. Thank you!!! Open space dominated by native habitat and free of buildings. The campground moved east away from bluffs for retreat from sea level rise Better paths for running and biking. Sorry, but I’ll be dead Easy parking, improved ADA access to the beach. Erosion issues addresses creatively before catastrophic problems arise. Safe access for runners, walkers, bikers and folks wanting to cross the boulevard. Lots of opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy the outside with places to sit, gather, dine, shop, and take in the amazing views we are so fortunate to have in Carlsbad. Slower car speeds, better bike lanes, roundabouts, and a separated class 1 bike and ped. Pathway. To be sandy beaches with more efficient parking and easy access to beaches. hopefully it would look jut the way it does now!! People strolling along, eating on picnic tables, reading books, visiting Beautiful protected open space with wonderful walking paths, views of the ocean and sunsets and easier access to the beach and surf at a few points. Friends and families, locals, my neighbors from TerraMar enjoying a natural landscape by the Pacific Ocean. And visitors saying how special this place is as they walk by taking it all in slowly, enjoying life without commercialization. Families enjoying themselves walking, sitting, playing games, having a picnic. People of all ages walking, running and cycling. This stretch is one of the few places to do this without big hills. As the population ages, I expect to see more older people doing active things. Plenty of parking, places to get food and drinks, wide sidewalks, separate lanes for joggers and cyclists. Sadness. Another built up coast. I will still think of the “wood not for sale” and how we used to be a village. I would be heartbroken if you turned the Coast into Pacific Beach or Newport Beach. I would be overjoyed if it stayed in its natural state A park at Ponto, easier parking, better landscaping in the mediums Hopefully, not a huge beach resort there. No shops or stores. Only parks and paved walking paths along the shore. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: A coastline/ hwy that remains unblemished by development with clear sightlines to the water. Ability to enjoy the beach, grabs bit of good food/snacks. Bring my kids and dog to play in a park like setting with ocean views An artificial reef offshore with people surfing perfect waves and diving in a newly created underwater ecosystem. A safe place where you can enjoy the beautiful Carlsbad coast. Families walking, enjoying a casual bike ride. Friends catching up enjoying a glass of wine or beer. Romantic dinner enjoying the beautiful sunset and if lucky see the green flash. During the summer, concerts in the park next to the ocean. NO SHOPS. The space is all about nature, being outside, promote social enjoyment outside with a beautiful view. Better mobility for non-vehicular traffic and more areas for people to access the beach and passive use. I see families walking with their kids and strollers; I see people alone or in small groups taking in the awesome view as they take leisurely walks. I DON'T see rubbish or trash or litter. I see people enjoying the beauty of Carlsbad without groups of people lining up or waiting to get into commercial establishments. Looks like it does today. No buildings to block views. Slow traffic to enjoy scenery. Occasional benches, restrooms, parking with easy beach access. N/a open space with large bike lanes and walking pathes Open area with public access and limited amenities. Landscaping with native plants. Expansive coastal views and multiple viewpoints. Public parking. An alternate regional route for car traffic with access to and parking for beaches Maybe something similar to walking in downtown encinitas, with lots of local restaurants and shops, but still close to the beach and other local sights Low traffic, open park space, wide accessible beaches All of what I previously mentioned plus intelligently placed roundabouts Beautiful coast being enjoyed by residents and visitors with convenient parking facilitated by a shuttle Places to eat in or to take out, maybe a food truck area with tables conveniently placed I am 84. Twenty years from now, I would like to look down (or up) and see a park-like setting with lots of seating for just watching the surf roll in, a few shops every half mile, walking paths, a dog beach. A lovely, preserved, cherished small town Village city with more developed spaces away from the Coast. Wonderful schools and parks, a business sector, but lots of open space left with bike paths. It still feels small and authentic. Families having fun! Couples having fun! Kids playing! Restaurants thriving! A fun vacation spot for Southern California! Focus is on walkers, bikers, beach goers, promoters healthy living A peaceful, clean pathway with easy access to the beach for people of all abilities An iconic street where people come accessible mostly by bike or foot. Chill places to eat and drink. Family focused with playgrounds. Safe without crime or homeless. I imagine a boardwalk like pacific beach but more relaxed. Beautiful well cared for space of beach and native plants with a wide and inviting natural dirt path for walking or running near the clean oceanic air. A separate bike path with equally restorative natural surroundings Open space, not too built up, but quality food option with a couple of cute shops, biking area and some easy parking still have lots of open space and campgrounds. Not a recreation of encinitas and leucadia which I need to avoid due to congestion. A beautiful walkway with many vistas of the ocean. Plenty of places to access the beach. A few local establishments overlooking the ocean to have a casual meal or a glass of wine. Let's say you were visiting this part of Carlsbad's coastline 20 years from now, and it's been improved just how you like it. Describe what you see and experience: Separate walking and bike paths with ocean views. Parking available. Picnic areas. Built in a way to accommodate lots of people, but not seem crowded. No cars. If you bring in shops, you have to bring in cars. Don't do it please. Food and dining areas. Beach equipment rentals. Surf.shops. Lots of people enjoying the ocean, with sufficient parking, with places to eat casually and formally and maybe an overlook with benches. Feels far removed from coast highway. Walking path, beautiful landscaping, a few small concession stands (coffee, donuts). Unobstructed views Separated pedestrian and bike trails along the coastline with interspersed retail and culinary experiences. Smart and safe parking and road design to limit congestion. Lots of pedestrians and human-powered vehicles traversing the length of the coastline in a safe fashion. A few well designed restaurants that use the beach view, a beautiful park for picnics and sports areas using the sand and hard court surfaces. Like Laguna Beach. More cheap food and expensive coffee. Also better paths for walking or running. If rather have more open space than commercial space. Keep Leucadia in Leucadia. The ability to drive slowly southbound or park anywhere along the journey and see some of the last vistas of undeveloped San Diego County Pacific Ocean beauty. A large open park area with natural shade and access to both the sandy beach and the surrounding terrain. Public transportation is used to access this space and so there are no large parking lots or streets lined with vehicles.The only structures are a playground for children and a handful of restrooms/changing rooms. Unobstructed views of the ocean and lots of beach access, separate walking and biking paths, benches and picnic tables to enjoy nature and the view, places to grab a coffee or ice cream, if anything like a brewery or winery go in have it casual, open and airy with lots of outdoor space and that doesn't obstruct access to the ocean or walking and bike paths Open space and views abound to the west and east. I see nature - native plants, walking trails, parks for families. I don’t see high-density housing, or more retail. I know that’s all a half mile East and I am happy Carlsbad is keeping the coast beautiful and free from commercial development. It’s low key and special. A beautiful view where there’s open areas for watching the ocean snd sunsets as well as some nice eateries. Parking and strolling area minimal vendors/ restaurants/ bars or breweries. One or two would be ok, but it would be a shame to see all the open space too overdeveloped like everywhere else. The only thing I hope for is that cyclists are protected from car traffic by a barrier or median. Otherwise, please don't develop it! I love that that area is open and natural and undeveloped. It would be so sad to develop such a beautiful open landscape and ruin the beauty and peacefulness of that coastline. Safely ride my bike to an architectural gem of an indoor/outdoor cultural arts center (art and performance). Dine at a unique place to eat with a view. Have coffee around a fire pit. Walk through a sculpture park with people painting throughout the park. Unique and different - please think outside the box. Less traffic and more connection to nature Beautiful tree lined area with nice landscaping and places, to sit, lie and play in a park similar to downtown Carlsbad from the old power plant to Pine St Just like it is. No cars and a nice walking / play area Green space with lots of parks and places for people to walk around and enjoy natural beauty. I'd really hate to see that coastline turn into commercial/retail space. What ZIP code do you call home? In which category is your age? APPENDIX C Strategic Plan Workshop Coastal Breakout Room Notes APPENDIX C City Council 5-Year Strategic Plan Feb. 1, 2022, Workshop Notes Breakout room name: Carlsbad’s coastline (Group 1) Number of participants total: ~25 What would you like the City Council to consider when it comes to Carlsbad’s coastline? • Protection of the bluffs and what we have left. The beach is narrow, low tide gives us beach, but if we need to shore that up, hope the coast can be protected from boulders, or like Terramar to protect the erosion. • Erosion - protect it. Keep it as natural as possible. • Don’t want to pave paradise and put up a parking lot • Don’t want to see a big parking lot • Erosion is a threat to coastline • Concern – if merging, overlook this area, two to four lanes? Big concern because we already have a lot of traffic noise. Resident of Solamar. • Traffic noise is a concern • Open space would be similar to Terramar Bluffs - warm water bluffs • Minimal concrete • What has the city committed to for the grant? What do we need to do take advantage of that money? Tied to commitments? • No parking lot • No development • Concern - preserve the natural beauty – includes visuals and what we hear. • Live in Solamar- walk along oceanfront and no sidewalk. Close to southbound traffic lanes. • All traffic disturbs enjoyment of walkway • Reduce traffic • Could have 4 lanes, thinks of Leucadia Boulevard. Naturally encourages people to slow traffic with curbs and turns in the road. • Access – community access. Many access points from Cannon to Campland, if you have 4 solid lanes of traffic that will prevent people from enjoying coastline. • Nice access points • Near Kelly Elementary – what I love is the beauty. Can’t stop at the beach but enjoy it regularly by driving past it. No obstructions like in Encinitas with all the buildings along the coastline. • No buildings, no development, no restaurant to obstruct the view. • Already have the Village – don’t have need to develop another area • Make it a park, with benches like La Jolla with pavilion picnic areas along the cliffs • Smooth paths for rollerblading and biking APPENDIX C • Keep it a park and no buildings obstructing the view • This is why I love Carlsbad - these meetings. Thanks for putting this on. • Never go down to two lanes. Slow down traffic but going down from four to two lanes, we’ll learn a hard way. • Not much traffic now, but once things pick up again, rude awakening for 101 if it goes down to two lanes. • Before the I-5 was built, the 101 was so congested. • Widening the I-5 freeway, but going down one lane on Carlsbad Boulevard will bottleneck on a Friday or Saturday. • Keep it beautiful, slow it down, but don’t go down to two lanes • Concern – live at Poinsettia, is the development. We love coastlines. This is the beauty- access to beaches for free. • Active physically – run through the coastline and want to still have the access. • Problematic areas- cycling, running, cars. Would love to see we represent our city values to provide safety for all who enjoy in whatever way we travel. • Median through - crossing safely from one side to another • Main importance – no over development. No more restaurants or hotels to block that. • More green space and access, less parking spaces • Keep it an open and natural space so we can all enjoy what Carlsbad offers • Other north cities don’t offer this. Del Mar, La Jolla- all buildings. • Embrace open natural beauty for all residents in the city • Concern with the bluffs, not much beach. What happens with erosion then whole park thing is gone. • It’ll be more like walkway, not like a park. • Walkways and patches of grass along the walkway – spent so much money and then it’s gone from erosion. • Not happy with going down to two lanes on 101 – nightmare. • Not have any shopping centers. No hotel, Starbucks, buildings to block view • Great to drive on coast highway to see ocean. Get out to walk. • Don’t want to get out around buildings • Taking away beauty of Carlsbad if you have to go around buildings • One lane on each side not good either – bottleneck. • Parking lot creates exhaust for people there • We’re a destination. Between the Village and channelers, the Hilton, Cape Rey and 60 acre piece, there’s no commerce. No interest to Vigilucci’s. Dated. Have to go all the way down to Chandler’s to go to a restaurant. Could be cool to get a couple of restaurants and more revenue options. • More things to do for us locals • We’re known for R&R- restaurants and dining cool to give thought or opportunity • Oceanside to San Diego coastline – so little coastal drive. We’re the fortunate benefactors to still have that. That’s what separates us from Santa Monicas, Del Reys of the world. APPENDIX C • No development, no linear park, we don’t need it. • Enough time hard to get cars through that strip of traffic • Need to manage traffic on that strip and leave it alone • Shouldn’t be developing that property – that’s it. • Don’t want to see any shops along coastline – it’s such a unique part of Carlsbad. go inland • Our natural beauty of coast is irreplaceable • Not for moving highway • Look at Ponto Park instead of linear park • Should stay the way it is • Concern – the beach. The sand that has evaporated. Is that part of plan to revive beach along this southern stretch? • Concern – bike suicide lanes. Any plans should have bike safety considered to make lanes not a hazard to the bikers, let alone drivers. • Won’t ride a bike along this street not, it’s suicide. • Solamar- let’s keep what we have with open views of ocean and bluffs. • Fix bluffs and access to the beach – steps down to the beach whether it’s at Solamar drive or paths that have been created. • Can’t believe were talking about moving 101 to the left. • Save our money, because if climate change is real, have to save that money. Rename it the 101. If you drive down 101, see turnarounds. Epic. Old school epic- walk down to the beach and hang out. Can’t do this anywhere else, been here since the 80s. Park at Ponto along the sand. • How to make that U-Turn doable at La Costa. Fix the light. • Destroying view of 101, cannot get that elsewhere. Greatest thing to do with daughter who can’t get to the beach, is parking and seeing view of ocean. • If too loud, reduce lanes in some areas. • Don’t waste money to put restaurant and buildings up after moving lanes. • Historic 101. Don’t need to knock down. • If concerned about climate change, move asphalt – whole beach to use • Don’t understand need to move road. • Erosion • Have to help save what we have left. • There’s this town of Cambria – wooden deck that’s pretty. Raise the platforms so people don’t climb down the cliffs. Pretty ways to give walking areas. Bridge over traveled waters. • Bridge if there’s erosion instead of moving it. • Considering giving space to State Parks? For more camping areas and recreation. Day use lot? Enable access across. • Any estimates to protect the bluffs from further erosion? • Wouldn’t money factor into what you can and cannot do? APPENDIX C What are some of the key issues or challenges the city should focus on? • Addition to making this a park space, linear park space, make sure we’re being careful. Not too much access for additional homeless in this area and cause safety concerns. • In other towns where you get close access to the beach, there’s a park specifically there, it’s harder to manage homelessness there. • As things can and may get worse in years to come, make sure we are prepared to not make it more challenging. Will attract more homeless with a park. o Mission beach, Venice, Santa Monica – concerns for homeless at beaches. Five years from now, how will you know this has been successful? What will be different? • Safety for pedestrians and bikers Carlsbad’s Coastline What do you enjoy most about the coast today? • Open space. • Don’t overbuild • Nature • Don’t want to see over development • Make it even better - not reducing traffic lanes • Focus on Ponto Park – not shoving linear park when it’s there. We know what we want. • Preserved – any expenditure is through government grant? Not coming from taxpayers. • Paid for by federal government • Radio control airspace flyer- fly in dead center – Dave’s Beach – little beach – fly radio controlled planes that are gliders, no noise – peaceful – entertaining o That has a long history in Carlsbad since 1940s o Hate to see that go away like other flying sites that have gone away • Stand out as close as possible along coast to fly planes • Ok with improving Carlsbad Boulevard, but this site maintained by a park, or a sponsored glider park. Strip of this park radio control activity. Glider only (no powered with sound) • Retail down below with condos are a NO. • Love to see changes but want to keep it Carlsbad. • Keep 101 as it is. Want Ponto Park. Needs to be a real 6-8-10 acre park, • Sit down on the grass, picnic blanket and don’t have to be right by the cars whizzing by • Southwest Carlsbad deserves a park. Prefer quiet, peaceful. • Don’t want hotels, restaurants. • Up 101 – there’s the ocean. Felt like driving by, actually going to the beach. Don’t cover it up or make it harder to get to. APPENDIX C • No actual access to the beach from the car, from turnaround to Ponto. Great to have a lot to park, or easy way to get family down to the beach like a walk, so you can get down to campground beaches. Like San Elijo campgrounds and beaches. • What I enjoy most – biking. Trips from Orange County to San Diego – first time done ride on bike and when I got to Carlsbad and Terramar, like wow, this is beauty. Favorite part of the entire road. • I drive 101 as much as I can to avoid the 1-5 or El Camino. Make it a point to drive the coast to see the ocean without getting out of the car, not always get out or bike. • Live by the coast – drive by. • Drive up and down the 101 – my wife and I did that almost every day during COVID. It was an outlet that was priceless. That’s the key - maintain that visibility of the beach and ocean. • Improve the access to the beach. Make the beach a beach. It’s a challenge, but part of the cost to reinvigorate the beach to enjoy it once we get down there. • Radio controlled gliders present at that location • I like the highway how it is – two lanes in each direction. The city should concentrate on reinforcing the cliffs to make sure erosion stops, keep natural beauty. There is nothing else like it. • That drive is so beautiful- even for people, I can do nothing but drive. Love that drive. Nice to be able to do that and see coastline. Don’t change. • Nothing – whole idea of pristine view. • No development – no services. Leave it as is. • Open space. • Keep the Village the Village. Don’t develop. • If you’re going to develop the coast, make it nice. Not four-story buildings – hideous. • Open space – nothing to distract. APPENDIX C City Council 5-Year Strategic Plan Feb. 1, 2022, Workshop Notes Breakout room name: Carlsbad Coastline (Group 2) Number of participants total: ~25 What would you like the City Council to consider when it comes to the Carlsbad’s Coastline? • This section of the city’s coastline provides the most opportunity to do something very special. • The city has been studying this area for too long, need more beach parking, more beach access, an Oceanview restaurant and coffee shops, better separated bike trails, more facilities along the beach like restrooms • Preserve environmentally sensitive habitat areas along wetlands, lagoons, etc. • Love the coast and enjoy walking there • Need dog friendly walking paths and dog friendly beaches • The existing coastline is gorgeous but is in need of updating and better facilities for recreational users • Sidewalks need fixing by Solara and fences are not attractive • Would prefer to maintain natural vegetation as much as possible, balance with whatever the proposed development may be. • Excited about the opportunity for commerce – besides the Village there are no other areas with waterfront dining, and shopping. • Existing restaurants are dated so it would be very refreshing to have new fine dining restaurants here. • Need to preserve open space, provide parks with ocean vistas/views • Preserving the open space would create a unique destination as the majority of the SoCal coastline is completely developed. • Loves the idea of bike lanes, used to ride a lot but doesn’t feel comfortable biking near high speed roadways like Carlsbad Blvd. Wants separated bike lanes or bike trails. • Need a dog friendly beach • Open stretch of coastline is a unique resource and needs to be preserved. If developed it would ruin the future of the coastline and the most beautiful location in the city. • The coastline as it is a jewel. Loves the sense of tranquility that the current open spaces provides. It’s a delicate coastline. If we are truly concerned about sea level rise why would we want to develop it? • Agrees that this stretch of coastline needs to be preserved • Coming from Huntington Beach which is very overdeveloped and afraid South Carlsbad Blvd will become developed. • Would prefer any development to be placed on the east side of Carlsbad Blvd to maintain an unobstructed view of the coastline. APPENDIX C • E-bike user that doesn’t feel safe biking on Carlsbad Blvd. Recommends a bike trail that they can enjoy and feel safe riding at lower speeds. • Would like the council to consider the impacts of sea level rise before making any plans • Recommends we look at the results of the adaptation study by Scripps. Should look at the 2050 Horizon year for sea level rise estimates. Wants full disclosure of the cost and potential impacts due to sea level rise. • Concerned with additional traffic congestion and vehicle emissions which may be created by new development and congestion from bringing Carlsbad Blvd. down to a single lane • Lived here 30 years. Hilton to Island Way is the jewel in the crown of the coastline. The water is breathtaking. Please do not put any development here, must preserve the open space the way it is. It’s the only open coastline left in Carlsbad. • Love’s to hear everyone’s excitement about open space. Agree that open space must be maintained. • Southwest Carlsbad is the jewel of the city. Everything should be done to preserve this space. • Concerned about development being proposed here such as the Ponto hotel. This will impact coastal access, views, and bring more traffic. • Want a linear park along the coastline and it’s vital to preserve the open space. • Agreed that the open space must be maintained. • Consider sea level rise in any proposal • If new development is proposed, this will impact traffic significantly. • Agreement that open space should be maintained. Leave the coastline alone. Our coastline is a precious resource that should be maintained but it should not be developed. • Disappointed with the development going on in the Village, does not want this level of density at S. Carlsbad Blvd. • Does not want Carlsbad to become a Huntington Beach which is overdeveloped and congested. • Surprised that the survey includes an option for development of new businesses or hotels at all. Why are these uses even needed? The open space should be maintained and not developed. • Want a place to ride a bicycle that is safe, to take in nature and recuperate and enjoy the open spaces along the coastline. What are some of the key issues or challenges the city should focus on? • Does the land include the campsite? A: No the project area only includes the city right-of- way or city owned parcels, area west of the fence at the campgrounds. • Issues are that the area needs to be left open and sidewalks/walking areas need to be repaired and maintained better • Development is an issue. There are plenty of other areas in the city where people can go to find good businesses, i.e. Village, inland areas, etc… The coastline should be preserved and kept natural for recreational purposes only. • In agreement with everything everyone is saying about preservation APPENDIX C • Hwy 101 acts as a parallel / alternative route to I-5. Concerned with narrowing Carlsbad Blvd. to single lane each direction when I-5 is congested. It’s a beautiful scenic drive. • Parking is an issue. Parking spillover into residential neighborhoods along the coast is a concern. • Biggest issue is adhering to the general plan, maintaining the right balance of open space is key • Need safer bike and walking trails • Need better connections to the Lagoon trails and surrounding recreational uses • Keeping the open space is necessary • Better bicycle and pedestrian access may address the parking problem • Lack of adequate facilities such as bathrooms, showers, etc. • Want it to be a linear park, travel way for people walking, biking, etc. • Interested in the area being left as open space. No shopping, businesses, small concession stand for food. • Parking should be on the furthest east side, this would preserve views • Not adequate beach access for surfers, swimmers, beach goers. Need ADA compliant ramps, stairs to the beach. • Unanimous- no businesses along the coastline, preserve the open space. Sufficient amount in the Village and other areas • Need more seating, eating/picnic areas, space for recreation. • Development would threaten this valuable and rare resource. • Want dogs on the beach and trails. Currently no good areas for dogs to enjoy the coastline in Carlsbad. • Dogs are less impactful than humans in terms of trash being left on the beach, traffic, etc.. • Homeless population may impact the beach, don’t have a solution but homeless should be addressed as part of any proposal for the coastline area. • Seems like development is approved too quickly. Aesthetics should be considered more when approving structures along the coastline. • Concerned that projects are being approved that don’t actually reflect the renderings that are reviewed at the Planning Commission / City Council • Believes the residents should be considered more than business interest • Maybe its ok to have a little less tax income and have a better quality of like • Changing Carlsbad Blvd to one lane each way would be a disaster. I-5 is a parallel route that when congested spills over to Carlsbad Blvd. • While open space is important. Need something to fund (tax income) the recreational / park amenities that everyone wants with things such as new land uses. • Need designated sources for providing the funding for maintenance • Surf culture needs to be considered and it needs to be easily accessible beaches for surf access • Timeshares provide a tremendous amount of tax don’t need any new development for more tax revenues • Very much against having more the Village like development along the coastline • Bike lanes and walking conditions are currently unsafe • Want some type of educational and recreational component APPENDIX C • Very sensitive to runners, strollers being in the bike lane, need separate space for people biking and walking. • Caution us to not replicate the separated bike facilities in Cardiff where there are too many conflicts with bikes and people walking along the coastline • Need a route specifically for e-bikes. Need to consider how to safely accommodate different users including pedestrians walking, joggers, manual bikes, and higher speed e- bikes... where do they all go? All users need to be considered in any plans. Five years from now, how will you know this has been successful? What will be different? • We will have much better access for people walking, biking, e-bikes, surfing, and people just enjoying the beach. • More people using the beach, on bikes, walking, and surfing in the area. What will stay the same? • Maintain the open space, views, clean beach and natural resources • Open space is such a unique part of the coastline and it must be maintained APPENDIX D Strategic Plan Workshop Chat Transcript APPENDIX D Virtual workshop General session: Chat questions 1.

This should be a top priority project for the City. Please keep the stretch of coastline in south Carlsbad undeveloped! It would be so sad to lose that natural open Provide a free shuttle, like Laguna Beach, to move people around the beach and Village areas.Wou d be great to ha e a sect on of Carlsba beach allowed for o f leash do s l o, expande so those who work full time can squeeze in exercise for their dogs in AM/PM. Also, would love more budget friendly youth sports programs, both the year-round programs as well as holiday break camps. A natural landscape often means overgrown brush and weeds. Our coast is beautiful. Clear brush and add bikeways, open park areas and pedestrian walkways so all can fully enjoy the beauty of the ocean, sand and Every coastal city that has closed a street or two in the downtown area to create pedestrian only areas - has benefited due to less vehicle traffic This provides a place for people to eat, shop and enjoy a elaxing Consider he ide that we can parti y re uild our b ache us ng rec cl d g ass Glas wou d be mad by action with sand and waves. It is called sea glass. One component of glass is sand. Of course, studies would be needed to see where the initial placement would be and that the tides or currents continue to move the glass towards the beach. The coastline there is pe fect as it is and doesn’t need any “ mprovement” or “development.” Leave it alone I would love to see C r sbad as bike friendly city. It woul be great if people could b ke to rk, the beach schools. Protected bike lanes near schools, accessible bike racks, and enhance existing lanes for better visibility would help. From the economic perspective, a bike friendly place would allow tourists to rent bikes and visit shops, restaurants, and the beach without dealing with parking issues Carlsbad has a lot to offer and we can do Inclusive and acce ib e housing, parks beaches etc ea ly appreciate all of the w rk that the c ty is do ng to the sidewalks to make them accessible for people with all abilities. I would love to see Carlsbad be inclusive for all! New housing w/ entry ways that are level, wider doors, etc. Long stretches of sidewalks or even pathways in parks and public spaces. Inclusive parks for children. Aging in place. I agree with the park on Ponto but would like that incorporated with some coffee shops, a couple of small restaurants etc where people can sit and enjoy beautiful ocean views. We have 7 mile coast but ha dly have Lots o Olde Pe ple liv n O de Carls ad, mysel inc uded We have p nty of inbound ights fl ng low ver o homes, and yet us old folks don’t complain. What’s up with those young ones , who bought those newer homes at/near the beach? Apparently people have no regret about maliciously preventing good businesses from expanding. Awful! I’d love to have a sidewalk along the residential area of Terramar. Right now I have to weave in and out of the parked cars when I want to connect a walk between the bluffs that are interrrupted by the residential area. Same goes for walking along North Ponto Beach. Walking n the street to enjoy the beautiful areaTou ism is one of, if not the igges economic dr er in Ca ls ad P eas c nt nue to welcome and short term community in ways that honor Carlsbad's charming beach town legacy but ones that don't alienate the long term residents. Keep it safe and clean. And please, do something about the mentally ill on our streets swiftly before the issue becomes uncontrollable like many other cities. Place the train in a ditch and put Chestnut thru to the beach. While your at, remodel the dark ugly underpass at Chestnut &amp; Pio a as Pico. I agree! Silent railroad crossings, pedestrian gates at the tracks, slower trains possibly. If you’re anywhere west Build protected bike paths with physical barriers separating bike path from traffic especially on high speed roads such as El Camino Real, La Costa Ave and Coast highway. Avoid tragic accidents and encourage people bike I would also suggest adding shuttles, trolleys to the beach from park and ride locations to alleviate parking Extend Batiquitos lagoon trail to connect to coast highway Silence the train horns! Pedestrian gates, slower trains, and no horn crossings would greatly improve the area. Trains in SD have s lent crossings and go much slower Why can’t that happen here? You can hea the trains Cont nue o keep dogs off the beaches i Carlsbad If eopl want th y can d ive to Del Mar (or maybe Oceanside soon) to have a dog beach. We have multiple off leash dog parks in Carlsbad and roughly 60 miles of trails. Not to mention people can walk their dogs along the seawall or in their own neighborhood. Please continue to keep our beaches clean, beautiful, and safe for families. I’d love to have a trail from Batiquitos to the coast! free (or some minimal fee-say, $20/yr) electric trollies up and down major streets (El Camino to beach; 78 to Coastal South Carlsbad (ponto area) needs a community gathering area with restaurants, shops, coffee shops, and enhanced parks and open space. Not big hotels and massive condo developments Not much anymore. The beautiful beaches, with free public parking. Trails, parks and open space. The historic Village and Barrio ( but that’s being ruined by gross height and pathetic density of ove development).T e city ha an opportunity t mak t e southern gatewa o arlsbad n to a t ue gem nstea it has make it the highest density of housing in our city. This goes against every tenant that your published vision statement says you use to make decisions. Here are some ideas that should be considered for your 5 year plan 1. Make the undeveloped areas of Ponto (area F) into a public park. 2. Make sand replacement for the Ponto It is the feeling people get who live here and also the people who visit here. Carlsbad has always been known as a quiet beach town great for walking and visiting w th friends and neighbors Even though a great deal of We e d a true coastal park in south Car sbad for the thousa ds f resident who cannot walk to ne, plu 92009 and 92011 residents who have No Coastal Parks. With Sea level rise and bluff erosion, it doesn't make environmental or economic $ense to reroute South Carlsbad Blvd. Why invest potentially $70 million for a miles long "walk way" along the PCH/101 while the bluffs are so unstable Wouldn't it cost 1/2 to buy land on the east he rob em with a trail rom the Batiq i os to the coast is l tter an people wa der g onto th trai s just loitering and littering and not even knowing anything about the lagoon and how it strives to stay nice for walkers, hikers, runners etc. People would wander in from the beach and come to the nature center and leave all their sand and trash there! The volunteers strive to keep that place clean every day of the week. Coastal access I would like to see dogs allowed on the beach on a leash - in some areas don’t see why that should be so I couldn't d a ree mor . Do you realize how much his ci y a read spend on homeless programs with extremely low success rates? I'll give you a hint: They've budgeted over $10 million over the next five years. Have you considered what the people living near the south side of Tamarack Beach might think of your idea? How do you feel about setting something like that in your neighborhood? People have spent a lot of money to More green space. Quieter environment. Walking paths. Enhance downtown area with better shops, restaurants, pedestrian walkways without vehicles, outdoor eating spaces. Look at other north county cities like Why do we need development? Ponto should stay like it is Th meeting place is the beach, the ocean. Stop Improve Carlsbad Blvd- this road is badly in eed o enhancements inclu i g s reet scapes l ke the city of Encinitas is doing along coast hwy- plant trees, install additional bathrooms and put sidewalks that are non existent in some areas by Terramar and along the campground. Manage parking along the entire Blvd. and charge parking- we see cars/Campers parked all day long, block the walkway with their stuff &amp; use the sea wall to cook - Boardwalk needs a face lift- landscaping, landscaping The small-town feel with walkable services, the excellent restaurants and shops, wonderful beaches, proximity Being able to afford a home in the city I’ve lived in for 15 years. Our family earns a good living but because of the skyrocketing home prices we cannot afford to buy a home…let alone pay cash which is what most buyers are I think more outdoor space for riding bikes, walking, and enjoying the weather is very important for our coastal community. I see towns in Europe that are making areas be totally car-free and that is intriguing to me. Could we I would love to see a dog beach area designated in Carlsbad. We love our dogs and would be happy to share our love of the beach with them as well. I fear that the moneyed interests will soon turn the lovely downtown area with it's beachy feeling into a collection of high rise apartment buildings It would be nice if at least a few streets could remain as they are I would like to se more development n C rl bad hat maint in the coastal villag by the sea charm we ha For example the State St. developer Fabric has been great for Carlsbad and all other business in the village. As a small business owner, I have to give credit to the great work that has been done to keep the city attractive and competitive. If we don’t develop we will be stuck in the past and when the next economic downtown happens it will be very hard for our city to bounce backPost and enforce minimum peed l mits. En irely too m imped traffic flow. More frequent and less circuitous bus routes. Useful public transit would lessen the traffic on our streets. Additional parking at Poinsettia Coaster Station. Better timed traffic lights that don't block cross streets on El Camino Real and other major thoroughfares. We have enough development. More will only continue to destroy what’s left of this beach town. beach city like you’d see in Orange County. Those cities already exist, and we can drive to them. We don’t need another. Keep building small. Take the time the time to put better building design requirements in place to keep the vibe we have, and enforce it. lords to buy up all the housing in Carlsbad and outprice those of us that want to purchase and live in our home in the lower mid-range of the housing market. Let's not Nimby ourselves into being LA or San Bernadino.

If Vigillucis can cover up their entire parking lot with increased dining, and use OUR streets and beach parking for their Valets, Public greenspace or a community park should be the priority reuse for the power plant area. Development of beachfront hotels and significantly underused commercial office space, may add to city tax revenues, but benefit Our Village has the potential to be a magical place. We need to work with NCTD to renovate the Village Coaster Station. Sidewalks, planters, store fronts, etc. need to be revitalized or at least cleaned up in order to sparkle.

Also, they consistently ignore "No Dogs Allowed" and "Dogs Must Be on Leash" signage on lower beach boardwalk and rail trail, respectively. These dog owners apparently think thos ules don't apply to them. Why would we want to bring such behavior to our clean beaches?More publ tran portat on- bus rout s desi ne for older or d sab ed res dents an mor coasters and south more frequently so we can enjoy visiting theater and other attractions in our county. Going to doctors, market. Bus routes that go all the way (east) inland to San Marcos or Escondido on Palomar airport road 7 days a week and restore route on Paseo del Norte. More parking everywhere if you are not able to ride a bike. A dedicated bike path would be great, ideally with some sea views. For bikes and e-bikes. Look at Cardiff Beach There will always be eop e who disregard rules/laws That doesn't mean that the majority should be penalized. I wou d ove to see upgrade to Po nsett a Avenue between Paseo e Norte and the beach t woul b n ce to have better landscaping and charm for pedestrians.

Some of the patrons of these current hotels cause crime to the local neighborhoods Keep up the great work on the school system. We need enforcement of the sound ordinance on Carlsbad Village Dr. Motorcyclists frequently rev their engineers and split your eardrums. The city has been enforcing the sound ordinance along Coast Hwy near Absolutely - It's time for Carlsbad to designate an area for people to bring their dogs to the beach off leash. As Remove the RV park along the Carlsbad coast. Transform the space into an area that would benefit residents and visitors alike, e.g. beach access, view points, gardens, walking paths, maybe one or two outdoor eateries.

It is dangerous with cars suddenly stopping to grab a spot, or double parking waiting for a car to leave. Carlsbad should offer a free (or low fee) shuttle service taking beachgoers from the mall (or other large parking area) to several stops along the beach. Include a stop in the Village, oo, for the Car sba s an awes me pla e to l ve. Unfortunate y, the environm nt s su ering becau e of it. t is im to the environment first. We need to take a tough stand on climate change. To start, we can protect open space by building parks, walking trails, bike trails,and nature centers especially along our coast. Preserving the little open space that is still left in South Carlsbad for all to enjoy. We can set an example for other cities and preserve this I agree. In addition to sand replacement, Ponto Beach needs a general upgrade - e.g. better street-side parking (current parking is a "zoo"), plant some tree , add a boardwalk,. . And better maintenance of the beachComp e e y agre with the need to s pport older res d ts to stay mob e s nce Carl bad is rath Please support our older residents in their mobility. Older residents and retirees are a HUGE reason Carlsbad is a safe, friendly, and desireable place to live. I get what the other person said about the empty buses - and I think there are new ideas other coastal cities are trying out (s e: West Palm Beach, See Santa Monica) which don't rely on the t aditional bus system.The tracks nee to b lowered. NCTD has stated tha three imes he amoun of trains wi l be trave Carlsbad in the next few years. The safety of individuals needs to be paramount. It is not safe as the Surfliner travels through our Village at over 90 mph not stopping as the Coaster does. We cannot have CVD, Grand, and Tamarack backed up with traffic from the increase in trains. preserving the coast by restricting building on the first mile, at least, f om the oceanI belie e the h gh amount o traffi (specifical y through comm ter t aff c has a neg and quality of life along Coast Highway.

Those cities already exist, and we can drive to them. We don’t need another. Keep buildings small. Take the time the time to put better building design requirements in place to keep the vibe we have, and enforce it. I love how easy it is to drive in Carlsbad, but I also cringe when I see those busy intersections for That's a great idea. A free beach shuttle from commercial areas...a win-win for both the businesses and the Consider nding vacation rentals less than 30 days in the coastal zone to allow for a stronger sense of Use nat e plant n landscaping proj cts t ref ect and mainta n the histor c, natu al beauty and char beachside community and support a healthy natural environment for all to enjoy for years to come.

Currently, many roads are very unsafe for cyclists and kids. (La Costa Ave., El Camino Real, Palomar Airport, etc.) This would promote riding a bike as a primary mode of transportation and therefore reduce traffic, beach parking and improve overall quality of life. We have a big dog pa k at El Norte. Having a dog beach only increase pollution t our coastal water.The days o the f ower f elds a ong he coas re long gone b t there are some po itive changes in t The Power Plant is coming down and there will be opportunities to create new opportunities for public enjoyment of the coast and lagoon. The creation of a safe and continuous pedestrian pathway along the entire coast is critical. We need to envision better ways to enjoy the coast outside of private automobiles for people of Train tracks need to be below grade for added safety and to eliminate the train horns. The number of trains and their accompanying horns are only going to get worse with more use of the corridor. This must be addressed as Invest in public services at the beaches and parks including bathrooms, not portable toilets that are not maintained Improve Carlsbad Village Drive and highway 5 access areas Continue to bring in local businesses to Sequoia str et bet een the coast highway and arfield i a dang r to c r and pede tr an No d sig ated sidewalks. Need to complete sidewalks, curbs and paving. Cars should not be allowed to park on both sides of this street. It becomes barely a one lane street!! This is a ridiculous and dangerous situation on such a trafficked street. I lived on Sequoia for several years. The beach parking and visitor parking is necessary. There is NO DANGER posed by the narrow street. It actually keeps traffic SLOW &amp; Cautious. Sequoia does have sidewalks. It does Yes, lower the tracks. Besides improving the "landscape", it removes the danger posed to pedestrians crossing We drop off our plastic bags at Stater Bros. market on Vista Way. Carlsbad can advise others to do the same. We don't need another expensive program for this. The money needs to improve Carlsbad's most valuable asset If C'bad continues to allow development without adequate parking, they'd better get to work on building multi- What?? I think you'd have a rough time getti g the other communities "down stream" to accept the idea of glass Much o what made C bad unique s gone. And we can t et that back. We shou d con id r taking the "id as" offered in the survey seriously...like the traffic free areas in the Village, parking structures for Village and beach parking. There's plenty of commercial space elsewhere in Carlsbad, so the Village should be "developed" no furthe . But let's consider cleaning it up. The "trashy" areas, like Smart &amp; Final, should be attacked Make it easier fo residents to go t the ac , to th Vi lag using pub ic tran port t on. We have rain buses going north/south routes but there's not much going east/west that makes it convenient for residents. As a La Costa resident, I'd love to be able to take a shuttle that picks up in the Bressi Ranch area and either delivers to the Poinsettia train station (with more frequent train stops) or goes directly to the Village so I don't have to I think the beautiful beach area should have a variety of fish and chips restaurants, the way Seattle has. This is one of my favorite meals, and I'm always scouring San Diego for a place that offers Good fish and chips, at a I haven't been to Carlsbad in a couple of years (we moved south), but I would definitely come again. Especially if We need a ew parking str c ures b i t in the illa e to he p offse h oss of s ace when NCTD tu s their parking lots into housing. Oceanside has successfully built a 3 parking structures In there downtown and it has been effective in providing parking for there thriving restaurant and visitor scene. We currently have very little parking areas adjacent our beaches for residents or visitors. Beach goers who park in merchant spaces prevent We should g t the park we were supposed to get in South Coastal CarlsbadPoinsettia west of El Camino Real has opened to rive stra ght to the beach Carlsbad to complete the two lanes on each side of Poinsettia/Brigantine (west of Black Rail Rd and East of Aviara Pkwy)? Poinsettia goes from 2 lanes on each side to 1 lane and back to 2 lanes. It has been an eye sore for so long! Carlsbad needs to finish this small part of the street and make it more consistent and safe for drivers Yes, I agree with an under ground track, as long as it's covered - the station in Solano Beach is an eye sore as one No, we love that Carlsbad has free parking up and down the coast. Keep it free! We would like a bike path adjacent Buena Vista creek from Vista to Carlsbad Blvd. this would be a very popular bike p th with few hills and few ntersections. A ra sed bike/walking path along the side of the Buena Vista I m adamant about i v st ng in the boardwal b the beach. It needs to be redone andscaped inv t ng for people to come and expend money in the village. It would be great for the city managers to come with a plan to add bathrooms wide bike lane etc. I don't know what is the plan for the area where the tower was but that place for restaurants on the to w th here hould be NO DOGS al ow d on the beach th re is a city ord nan e of NO DOGS ON BEACH - but it is entirely disregarded. I've regularly seen dogs poop and pee on the sand and then have a person unknowingly follow in their path - gross! Having dogs on our beaches will destroy what is Carlsbad's crown jewel. Please, please enforce the ordinance so our beaches aren't completely contaminated with feces and urine. Also, Oceanside has a dog beach - redirect dog owners there. Absolutely not! Dogs pee and poop in the sand and ocean and contaminate our beaches. It's gross and unhealthy. Redirect dog owners to Oceanside and enforce the city ordinance of NO DOGS ON BEACH ! Agree! I used to see Police with radar often at the pull out near Batiquitos Lagoon just south of Tamarack. Or near Canon road just north of the park. Now, I very seldom see such patrols. Vehicles are going way too fast having non residents getting passes. This is a small beach town community and last thing we need is more tourism. I’m a native Californian and purposely moved to Carlsbad because it’s not commercialized like Huntington Let's push hard to harness some of the Federal money to drop the RR tracks like they did in Solana Beach. This A good start would be the xtension of the Coastal Rail Trail from Tamarack south to Cannon1 Put an or inance in place to restr ct where hom less may reside ie: NO PARKS C TY S RE SCHOOLS, etc.. - the City of LA has done this - Carlsbad could be the next Venice, CA. - what a mess ! 2) DO NOT OVERBUILD the Village - it will ruin it's quaintness - which will reduce revenue; 3) NO HOTEL/RESORT at the old power plant on the beach.

I see parents riding with their kids, with helmets that are either unbuckled or way too loose. I've had several friends who have suffered traumatic brain injuries from falling on their head and having their helmet slip. We dog owners consistently ignore the "no dogs on beach" signs because we want our dogs to be able to run on the sand and frolick in the water. I've never seen a dog poop and the owner not pick up after his dog. We need I disagree. Having to drive down the freeway for 20 minutes to dog beach creates more traffic and air pollution. Dog beach Del Mar is very clean. I've never seen poop on the beach. Let's designate one of our smaller beaches I just researched the effect on ocean water of dogs and found no negative effect other than from dog waste. So unless a dog poops and his owner fails to pick up the poop (and no one else calls the owner on his misdeed), I don't know a single person who likes the height increase in the village. It's taking it from "a village" to the commercial look of several of the Orange County beach towns. That eyesore of luxury condos across from the A shuttle from the park and ride area at the 5 Fwy LaCosta exit to the beach and the train stops would also be I have lived in everal beach towns over my 7 ears. Perhaps our local commun ty- of all ages- cou d bene t from a local town trolley all throughout the year. This trolley could connect neighborhoods to the beach and village for shopping and also get high schoolers to school to reduce traffic, parking problems and increase our ocal economy by local purchasers instead of relying on tourists. Parking has been less and less av ilable for us I agr e walking on the idewalks in the V l age we shou d not be harassed by the hom less Yes many have mental issues but I know they choose life on the street instead of a place to live that has rules. But the homeless do not have more rights to public spaces, City owned spaces then the tax paying residents and tourists.

We have freeways to move traffic and should not continue turning El Camino into a second freeway. I agree with many others to make the village uniquely different instead on Orange County south with more three story condos everywhere. raise a family with a mostly small town feel still hanging on. Most cities don’t have gems like Calavera open space, the campgrounds/ponto area, strawberry and flower fields. These places need to be considered part of the fabric of our community with no poss bility of developme t. Would love to see a park that exists near the Buy the power p ant property and turn it into t e most amazing beac s de park. Open up the south s de of Calavera to mountain biking and purchase any available land. This area is a hidden open space gem. Connect trails-we could have 30-50 miles of connected trails instead of shirt 1-2 mile trails everywhere. It would be great to see a bike park in Carlsbad. Not sure why our city seems to dislike mountain bikers but every other Hold onto the 'family-friendly beach village' feel of our town. For instance: 1) do not allow new construction of buildings with more than 3 stories. 2) Make the town as pedest ian-friendly as poss ble 3) Create more hiking I agree to a po nt. Some members f e curren city ouncil want t spend 7 million t do this withou adding one acre to the more than six acres of neighborhood park deficit in the southern half of Carlsbad city line. An alternative plan to improve the road, walkways, number of parking places, and bike paths would cost less than 1/3 of this amount and p ovide funds to pur hase six acres of park land to erase the park deficit. This is the This, except for the power p ant pro erty i t e last remai ing undeveloped and along the coast. t s uld b devoted to coastal uses, not high density housing, which is now proposed.

For those of us who want to take our small dogs for long walks without threat of coyote attack are forced to drive to Cardiff or Del Mar beaches.

Development in Robertson Ranch doesn't seem to be underway anytime soon, we bought in this neighborhood because of that promise. It would also be nice for Carlsbad City Coucil to require new developers put in pocket parks that appeal to children over the age of 10. Tot lots are outgrown quickly and leave no activity option within walking distance in the neighborhoods for 10-15 year olds to shoot hoops or use a backstop for handball. The main parks in Carlsbad are too far from home for children to walk to. The intense mandate by the city to control basketball hoops in front of peoples homes is too much, especially when they are located in culdesacs and several neighborhood kids from surrounding streets come to enjoy. Carlsbad City can be uptight with rules and control. This isn't news but it would be awesome if RV's were banned from parking at the beach, they take up all the parking spots all summer and make it extremely difficult for residents to park and enjoy the beach. We pay mello-roos in addition to regular property taxes, we pay a premium to live in Carlsbad it would be nice if we could easily enjoy beach parking with residents stickers that are issued to home owners who provide documents. There should be a perk to the people who pay to keep this city earning the revenues it does. We've been business owners in Carlsbad since 2003, we pay business tax as well, the tax we pay simply maintains our ability to live and work here. Perks for native residents and business owners would be nice.Coastline A park near the coast.Coastline More casual restaurants on or close to the ocean and shopping!!Coastline If you would reverse your recent decision for the undeveloped areas around Ponto Beach and address the open space and park deficits in this quadrant.Coastline Two things: KEEP Palomar Airport D2 and runway at 200 feet extension.

This should include funding for a full-time engineer specialized in Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), who is responsible for ocean-related programs including review and approval of BMP initial design, inspection of initial installations and subsequent monitoring of BMP installations. This will ensure the City of Carlsbad meets requirements for the MS4 Permit, and will help keep our most precious asset, the ocean, clean.Coastline Some snack bars on the beachCoastlineMake the beach more accessible.

Ensure connectivity and a contiguous trail from sand to sea. • Parking developed to the west would be a concern. • Provide restrooms. Questions: • How will our organization’s feedback be communicated to City Council? • What is the project timeline? • Can you provide data for this project’s estimated cost? • What is the water quality method being used and what are the impacts from stormwater? • Can you provide more sea level rise analysis data and plot long- term sea level rise on alternatives? • How can the Rosalina Trail and San Pacifico Trail extension relate to additional open space or trail connections? • Is there any plan to reduce lane capacity from four lanes to two lanes? • Are emergency response times being considered? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: February 24, 2022 Organization: Bike Walk Carlsbad Attendees: Judy Frankel (Chairperson), Michael von Neumann (Member) Project Team: Nathan Schmidt (Transportation and Mobility Manager), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager), Tiffany Metti (Public Outreach), Jessica Ceja (Public Outreach) Summary: Bike Walk Carlsbad is interested in connectivity and improved access to the beach and trail systems. Bike Walk Carlsbad would like a reduced speed limit to improve safety. Bike Walk Carlsbad is concerned about commercial development. Concerns: • Commercial development. • Over commercialization. • Speed limit. • Incomplete trail system. • Gated trails. Priorities/Needs • Move the road off the beach. • Single lane of traffic in each direction. • Implement traffic calming. • Lower the speed limit. • Improve mobility. • Connect trails to the beach. • Complete a holistic trail system, including the Coastal Rail Trail. • Open gates to trails. • Include as little commercial as possible. Requests: • Include wide buffered Class 2 bike lanes. • Include a separate facility with different kinds of pavement (for runners, walkers, strollers, etc.). • Add a protected separate bikeway but not on or next to road. • Have a single lane of traffic in each direction. • Utilize roundabouts. • Get rid of signals. • Open a green area to enjoy the outdoors. • Leave the area wild. Questions: Next Steps: • Can you please provide contact information about the trails? • Are all departments working on the connectivity issue and this project together? Provide updates on later phases. Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: January 31, 2022 Organization: Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach and Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach Attendees: Bill Canepa (Owner of Wave Crest Resorts), Rob Stirling (Cape Rey Carlsbad Sales and Marketing Manager), Thomas Lee (Cape Rey Carlsbad Area General Manager) Project Team: Tom Frank (Transportation Director), David Graham (Chief Innovation Officer), Gary Barberio (Deputy City Manager Community Services), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager), Melina Meza (Public Outreach Team), Tiffany Metti (Public Outreach Team) Summary: Hilton is interested in the access and dining/entertainment possibilities that this space could provide guests. They are also interested in the possible traffic calming measures. Concerns: • Ocean view obstruction. • Construction disruptions. Priorities/Needs • Implement measures to slow down traffic. • Include both tourist and resident uses. • Improve bike and pedestrian access. • Maintain bike lane continuity. • Provide improved access for their guests to walk the area and access the beach. • Include entertainment/dining options. • Traffic calming, biking and hiking, beach access, view obstruction mitigation and safe access for guests. Requests: • Provide more information as the project moves forward. • Not enough night life in Carlsbad, possibly add an amphitheater or concert venue. • Prefer two-lanes, one in each direction if feasible and sustainable. Questions: • What will occur with the 10-acre area near Palomar Airport Road? • Will the east portion of Palomar Airport Road be changed? • Could the road sustain two lanes only (one in each direction)? • Are there hopes to work with the state on beach access? • Are there plans to move the northbound lanes? How will this impact the hotel entrance? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: January 26, 2022 Organization: Circulate San Diego Attendees: Dara Braitman (Director of Planning) Project Team: Tom Frank (Transportation Director), Nathan Schmidt (Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager), Melina Meza (Public Outreach Team), Tiffany Metti (Public Outreach Team) Summary: Circulate San Diego is pleased to see possible improvements that fall in line with their mission. Circulate San Diego indicated that they liked the idea of opening up space. However, engagement will be important to the project. Concerns: • Equity. • Equal access to the area for all. • Pedestrian safety. Priorities/Needs • Include elements that accommodate everyone, for example, elements that accommodate wheelchairs (such as a playground for children in wheelchairs). • Implement measures to slow down traffic. • Include elements to show that it is a pedestrian area. • Create a sense of place, to get people to be more cognizant that the area is a pedestrian space, as opposed to a highway. Requests: • Provide more information as the project moves forward. • Upon very initial review and at face value, would like two lanes to create a slowed down corridor. • Possibly add a sexy cycle track. • Add murals and race crossings to delineate the pedestrian area and create a sense of place. Questions: • Where will traffic go and where will connectors land? • What are the effects of moving traffic? • Where would parking access lie? • What are the bike connections and any gaps for cyclists? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: March 21, 2022 Organization: City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Commission Attendees: Commissioners Chair Luna, Vice Chair Martinez, Commissioners Allemann, Steketee, Sebahar and Winston Absent: Commissioner Thorp Project Team: Kyle Lancaster (Parks and Recreation Director), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager) Summary: Concerns: • Comprehensively plan the entire realignment. Plans for the one mile will impact the rest of the area. Two vs. four lanes would impact how much land is available. • Consider all the constraints that need to be overcome when repurposing the land and the associated costs. • Consider that the project only repurposes, does not create new land. • Per a 2001 city feasibility study, only 4 to 10 acres are even possible to be created. • Address the city’s failing park system by requiring more park land from developers and improving the amount of city park land and access to those parks. Priorities/Needs • Look at trails. Focus on recreation for bikers, walkers and runners. • Build parks close to where people live. There are a couple hundred homes that do not have a park to which they can walk. Kids kicking a ball along the sidewalk with some grass on one side or the other, next to a major highway is not a park. • Move the road. This coastline is eroding slowly. From a climate change perspective this project makes sense. • Provide numerous opportunities for feedback. • Make the project equitable for the area and those that travel through it. • Consider all forms and sources of funding. • Review all documents before forming opinions on the project. • Parking is a premium; extra parking is a good thing but having open space and not paving it over is important.

Where would commercial be allowed? • Do we know the traffic volumes now?

Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: March 1, 2022 Organization: South Carlsbad Residents/Neighbors Attendees: Steven Rigler (Lanikai), Victor Cavataio (Poinsettia Cove), Kris Doan (San Pacifico/Santander), Babs Soller (Poinsettia Cove),Ms Wright (Kris Wright), Lamia Nahoul (Poinsettia Cove), Barbara Campbell, Lara Nelson (Waters End), Donald Keisler, Hilary Kooyers (Lanikai), Nancy Adams, Bruce Kaldor (Poinsettia Cove), Paul Gros (San Pacifico), Joseph VanBeeck (San Pacifico), Gary McGrath (San Pacifico), Hope Nelson, James Betts (Lanikai), Diana Cavallaro (Lanikai), Glenn Speirs (Ponsettia Cove), Jeanette Weeks, Glenn Rhoades, Michael Supancich, two joined via phone Project Team: Tom Frank (Transportation Director), Nathan Schmidt (Transportation and Mobility Manager), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager), Tiffany Metti (Public Outreach Team), Jessica Ceja (Public Outreach Team) Summary: South Carlsbad residents are interested in preserving the natural beauty and open space of the area for future generations. They would like to see safer streets by implementing reduced speed limits and separated pedestrian and bike facilities. Concerns: • Commercial development. • Traffic, congestion and associated noise. • Beach access. • Views. • Pollution and ecological changes. • E-bikes. • Sand retention. Priorities/Needs • Improve beach access. Add stairs to climb down the bluff. • Include open space, trails, a strand for biking and walking and recreational areas. • Include separated pedestrian and bike facilities. • Improve connectivity as well as street and intersection safety, including shorter crossing distances. • Slow the speed limit and reduce noise. • Add seating areas/benches. • Implement a U-turn to circle back to Ponto. • Keep people on electric bikes off the sidewalks. • Plant drought resistant trees and plants.

Questions: • Will this come to a city-wide vote? • If approved, when would this project start? • Is there a pilot project? • What is the current and proposed land use and zoning? • How do we handle the traffic from hotels and event facilities already being built? Will this project include this traffic in the analysis, to ensure traffic will not be further compounded? • Would the roadway be closer to residents? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: February 14, 2022 Organization: North County Cycle Club Attendees: Norval Lyon (President), Kenneth Chin-Purcell (Vice president) Project Team: Nathan Schmidt (Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager), Tiffany Metti (Public Outreach Team), Jessica Ceja (Public Outreach Team) Summary: North County Cycle Club is interested in improving safety and reducing points of conflict for cyclists. North County Cycle Club would like to see improved and separated, pedestrian and bike facilities, public restrooms, safe parking implementation and a low stress network. Concerns: • Accommodating all modes of transportation. • Points of conflict and stress for cyclists, including intersections, freeway crossings, and parallel parking with cars backing into cyclists. • Narrow bike lanes that cause safety issues. • Lack of a dedicated pedestrian facility. Priorities/Needs • Add sharrows. • Add restroom facilities. • Separate bike and pedestrian facilities. • Clearly delineate bike lanes. Requests: • Consider e-bikes and where to put them. • Avoid/do not like cycle lanes that are completely enclosed. • Improve pedestrian facilities so they do not spill into bike lanes. • Choose Class 1 over protected Class 4. Questions: • What is the contemporary thinking about roundabouts? • Where would you put e-bikes? • Is there something you can do to make turns safer for cyclists? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: February 23, 2022 Organization: People for Ponto Attendees: Jane Naskiewicz (Committee Member), Lance Schulte (Committee Member) Project Team: Tom Frank (Transportation Director), Nathan Schmidt (Transportation and Mobility Manager), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager), Tiffany Metti (Public Outreach Team), Jessica Ceja (Public Outreach Team) Summary: People for Ponto is interested in addressing the open space and park deficit in the area. People for Ponto wants to ensure comprehensive planning, added open space and quality park space. People for Ponto wants places for children to play and habitat protection. People for Ponto wants this area to be thoughtfully planned in partnership with the community’s longstanding requests and in the context of the legacy opportunity it provides for future generations. Concerns: • Bifurcation. • Ensuring comprehensive planning. • Ensuring thoughtful use of dwindling vacant land. • Significant open space deficit. • Area density and insufficient park space/areas for children to play. • Playing near natural habitat, which is detrimental for overall safety and habitat preservation. Priorities/Needs • Provide 30 acres of (Growth Management Plan) useable open space, within Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 9. • Provide a 7-acre real park, not a thin strip of land. • Include a grassy, multi-use open space in the Ponto area with sufficient land area for people to spread out and play. • Provide quality park space (not next to a major highway or the associated noise and other impacts). The promenade is a walkway not a park. • Include places to watch the sunset in a tranquil park experience. • Implement accessible parking, including added parking at the beach so it is safer to access and walk on the beach at night. • Add a soccer field. Requests: • Provide clarity on how much useable land is available when factoring in sea level rise, constraints and opportunities. • The City of Carlsbad needs to make the investment in the community, which the community has been asking for over the past seven years. Fund and make it happen. • Review and utilize the maps and materials provided from our organization to the City of Carlsbad. • Engage with the San Pacifico Community as a full partner. • Enforce open space requirements. • Correct the issue of this highly dense area lacking a park. • Increase places for children to play, which is not the street or near wildlife habitat. • Take a comprehensive approach to planning the area, including overall connectivity and coordination with the state. • Implement comprehensive planning and coordination the first time around as this redevelopment opportunity will not be available again. • Realize the importance of the project as it relates to the future of Carlsbad and a legacy for generations. Questions: • Is there any city policy regarding what issues are connected and which are not? • What is the stance on the campground and is the city going to lose that land? • Will this feedback be reported to City Council? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. Page 1 of 4 People for Ponto Citizen Input on Coastal South Carlsbad PCH Modification Proposal: 1 of 2 Since 2017 People for Ponto Carlsbad citizens and visitors and other north county citizens have provided the City and CA Coastal Commission (CCC) with extensive documented data files, overwhelming public testimony, and well over 5,000 public comments/desires, on the future of Ponto, and Coastal South Carlsbad as part of Carlsbad’s proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment, Parks Master Plan Update, Housing Element Update, many years of City Budget input, and now the ‘PCH Modification Proposal’. The overwhelming Citizen issues raised since 2017 are still the same, and all this input since 2017 should be again be incorporated in the City’s PCH Modification Proposal. The following lettered bullets A-R summarize some key facts Citizens raised since 2017. These facts are still relevant; and applicable to the PCH Modification Proposal. A. Existing land use at Ponto (census block 06071.17813.1) is developed at a population density 35% more dense (population per land square mile) than the rest of the Carlsbad. Ponto’s 35% higher population and development density is a result of City land use planning that increased residential land use, did not provide City Parkland, did not require Ponto developers to provide their required useable Open Space at Ponto; and eliminated 12.8 acres of prior planned Coastal Recreation Commercial land use at Ponto. Census data reflects the City created Park and Open Space inequities and increased residential land use from elimination of 12.8 acres of Coastal Recreation land use. B. There is so little remaining unconstrained Vacant Coastal land left in Ponto and Carlsbad to correct documented City Park Inequities at Ponto and the complete lack of a Coastal Park for South Carlsbad, along with providing an adequate amount of the other CA Coastal Act High-Priority land use – low-cost visitor accommodations. Once the last bits of Vacant Coastal Land are developed they are lost forever as a means to address long-term Coastal land use needs. Ponto Vacant Lands include 11-acre Planning Area F, 14-acre Kam Sang site, and 5-acres of City’s Site 18. C. The proposed PCH Modification Proposal does not buy any new vacant land but is a final attempt to try to rearrange PCH right-of-way landscaping and/or by reducing roadway capacity. Rearranging PCH land may add some more useable area beyond the existing parkway areas along PCH. The net usable amount may be modest, but should be accurately compared with the existing usable parkway areas. See attached City PCH map, with notes on various existing and required land and land use features from the City’s 2013 PCH Modification Design, along with some potential issues. D. Sea level rise impacts will impact/reduce much of the State Park and Campground at Ponto – a CA Coastal Act High-priority land use. See 7-page Sea Level Rise & Carlsbad’s LCP projected/planned Loss of Open Space at Ponto data file provided to the City & CCC. E. Carlsbad’s Coastal land use planning of the Ponto Vacant Lands, and/or potential useable areas from a PCH Modification will be the last, final, and only means Carlsbad and CCC have to address the Forever or Final CA Coastal Act high-priority land use needs at Ponto and South Carlsbad and how these areas will finally provide Coastal Recreation and low-cost accommodations land uses for the growing amount of CA residents and visitors. F. As the Final Local Coastal Program (LCP) Amendment for Carlsbad, what land uses are ultimately approved by the CCC in the next year or two will Forever define Carlsbad’s final amount, distribution and quality of City Park land and ‘High-Priority Coastal Land Uses’ – Coastal Recreation and Low-cost Visitor Accommodations. The CCC approved LCP Amendment will Forever lock-in the amount of City Park land, Coastal Park land and ‘High-Priority Coastal Land Uses’ to address the Forever population and visitor growth needs for these land uses. Already these Coastal land uses are heavily used and many-times demand exceeds supply. See 30-page Coastal Recreation land use data file provided to the City and CCC. Page 2 of 4 G. Sadly Carlsbad requires/provides 40% less City Park land than the Cities of Encinitas and Oceanside require/provide. Sadly Carlsbad also promotes Park Inequity by not requiring developers (and City) to provide Carlsbad Parks adequately and equitably distributed so as to be within accessible walking distance of all residences. Encinitas and Oceanside require developers (and City) to provide parks accessible to all. Carlsbad is also below average nationally in providing both park acreage and walkable accessibility to parks. The lack of City Park acreage and accessibility is clearly evident at Ponto. Carlsbad’s Park Master Plan maps Ponto as an area ‘unserved by City Parks’ and area of ‘Park inequity’ where future City Park investments should be made. See 30-page Coastal Recreation land use data file provided to the City and CCC. H. The CCC rejected Carlsbad’s Ponto Vision Plan in 2010 because it failed to address the need for ‘high-priority Coastal Land Uses’ at Ponto (“i.e. Public Park” and low-cost visitor accommodations) – specifically Planning Area F’s land use requirement in the 1996-current Local Coastal Program. See 5- page Planning Area F Existing LCP LUP & CCC direction data file provided to the City and CCC. I. Oddly Carlsbad’s 2015 General Plan again followed the Ponto Vision Plan that the CCC rejected in 2010 and again in 2015 the City failed to address the need for these “high-priority Coastal Land Uses” at Ponto – specifically Planning Area F’s land use requirement in the 1996-current Local Coastal Program. Carlsbad Public Records Request # 2017-260 asked to see City compliance with Planning Area F LCP Policy and no records of City compliance with that LCP Policy was provided. See official Carlsbad Public Records Request #2017-260 and 5-page Planning Area F Existing LCP LUP & CCC direction data file provided City and CCC. J. The CCC provided Carlsbad with specific comments in 2017 on how to address Planning Area F’s LCP requirement on providing for the need for “high-priority Coastal Land Uses” at Ponto and citywide. See 5-page Planning Area F Existing LCP LUP & CCC direction data file provided to the City and CCC. K. Carlsbad’s official Public Records (R002393-092121) also show that since the 1980’s Carlsbad did not comply with Mello II Segment Local Coastal Program land use policies regarding providing for future “high-priority Coastal Land Uses” – Parks and Campground expansions. See Oct 8, 2021 email provided to the City and CCC. L. Carlsbad’s 2017 & 2020 Sea Level Rise Report shows Ponto/South Carlsbad will lose over 32-acres of “High-priority Coastal Land Use” due to coastal erosion and flooding. (14+ acres of Coastal Recreation and 18+ acres of Campground will be lost) in Carlsbad’s General Plan. See 7-page Sea Level Rise & Carlsbad’s LCP projected/planned Loss of Open Space at Ponto data files provided to the City and CCC. M. Carlsbad’s 2015 General Plan did not consider the 2017 & 2020 Sea Level Rise data. New actions and a new General Plan are needed to address this 32+ acre loss AND State required unlimited increase in population/visitor demand for “High-priority Coastal Land Uses”. N. The State of CA has recently temporarily (and maybe permanently) mandated in SB 330 that Cities must plan to accommodate unlimited growth in population visitors forever. Yet SB 330 and the State of CA has not similarly required cities to plan to adequately meet the unlimited population and visitor demand for City Parks, and for CA Coastal Act high-priority Coastal Recreation and Low-cost Visitor Accommodations. Requiring only adding to population demand without concurrently requiring adding needed City Park and Coastal Park land acreage (and other needed public land uses) is illogical and will result in the overcrowding and degradation of current State of CA, City, community and neighborhood quality of life. Carlsbad’s 2015 General Plan also did not incorporate the recent SB 330 State requirement for ‘unlimited population growth’ – i.e. buildout. Carlsbad is thus embarking on a revision of its General Plan –Growth Management Plan. A complete Revision of Carlsbad’s 2015 General Plan and Growth Management Plan is needed to address a commensurate unlimited amount of City and Coastal Recreation land - “High-priority Coastal Land Uses” to address unlimited population growth prior to any LCP Amendment. This needs to be done before the City Page 3 of 4 BEFORE an old out-of-date 2015 General Plan is used as the basis for the LCP Amendment. If population growth is required to be unlimited then General Plan and LCP mechanisms to concurrently provide unlimited park land acres needs to be required also. O. There is a 10-year old and still current 6.6+ acre City park deficit in Coastal Southwest Carlsbad and a 30-acre useable Coastal open-space deficit in Zone 9 (Ponto area – west of I-5 and south of Poinsettia) that only gets worse we lose 32+ acres of Coastal Open Space from Sea Level Rise. See 30-page Coastal Recreation land use data file, and 7-page Sea Level Rise & Carlsbad’s LCP projected/planned Loss of Open Space at Ponto data files provided to the City and CCC. P. Carlsbad’s Park Master Plan documents City Park Inequities at Ponto and Coastal South Carlsbad. See 30-page Coastal Recreation land use data file provided to the City and CCC. Q. The PCH Modification Proposal is not a committed or funded ‘Project’, nor is it even a required planned land use to be implemented in Carlsbad’s Local Coastal Program. The City’s proposed LCP Policy LCP-2.p.19 requires nothing to be done regarding PCH Modification in South Carlsbad, while LCP Policy LCP-2.p.20 requires “ensuring” commercial development of Ponto. PCH Modification (except in North Carlsbad) is an uncommitted ‘maybe proposal ‘studied for decades. Several City ‘feasibility reports’ raise interesting questions relative to proposed LCP Policies LCP-2p.19 and 20 (See City’s 2001 Carlsbad Blvd Realignment Study Phase II: Preliminary Financial Analysis by ERA). Based on the City’s over 20-year past history and proposed LCP Polices, it seems unlikely the Council will ever fund PCH Modification in South Carlsbad to provide a needed Coastal park. The Council funded PCH Modification at Terramar (CIP Project #6054) in North Carlsbad is about $13 million per mile. Vacant Ponto land costs are between $1.4 and $2.4 million per acre based on recent recorded sales (SD Recorder Doc# 2015-0549555 & 2021-0854875). Tax-payer value of a PCH Modification Project relative to the Council option of buying vacant land to provide a much needed Coastal Park in South Carlsbad should be fully disclosed and vetted early in any process before vacant land is developed. See 3-page General Comparative tax-payer Costs/Benefits Analysis of Ponto Park and Promenade provided to the City and CCC. R. The most recent PCH Modification Proposal concept plans show significant land use constraints, making much of the cited ’62-acres’ effectively unusable. Use constraints include slopes, protected habitat, water, existing/required water quality dentition basins, existing beach parking that must be accommodated, and (most commonly) thin dimensions too narrow or constrained to provide much added utility beyond what utility exists there now in the current configuration. See attached City’s PCH map with notes on land use constraints and issues. Supported by the above A – R lettered data bullets People for Ponto Citizens have and still are telling the City Council (with regard to any PCH Modification Proposal) to: 1. Address the true neighborhood park needs for Ponto (minimal 7 acre City Park to serve minimal neighborhood park needs based on Ponto buildout-population standard). Ponto Park should be an appropriately wide, viable, flat and fully useable multi-use grassed field – allow kids space to play informal sports. No thin strip of non-park land. 2. Address the City and Coastal Park inequity of Ponto, and South Carlsbad as shown in Parks Master Plan Park Service Area maps/text. South Carlsbad (the 62% majority of Carlsbad’s population) has NO Coastal Park and zero park acres, while North Carlsbad (38% of Carlsbad’s population) has ten (10) City and Coastal Parks totaling over 37-acres. 3. Address loss of 32+ acres of Coastal Open Space Land from sea level rise by providing for Non- neighborhood City and State buildout-population and visitor demands for both Coastal Recreation land use and the loss of the Campground. Provide sufficient Coastal Recreation and low-cost visitor Page 4 of 4 accommodation land use to address the CA Coastal Act and City/State ‘buildout population/visitor demand’, and planned loss of current supply due to planned sea level rise. 4. Disclose and address the 2017 CA Coastal Commission directive to City on the Ponto Vision Plan, and Planning Area F Existing LCP and Proposed LCP Amendment in the PCH Proposal. 5. Fully address Sea Level Rise impacts consistent with CA Coastal Act & Commission on current and future ‘buildout’ Coastal land use and land acreage by plotting the Seal Level Rise inundation and coastal erosion/bluff hazard areas on the PCH Modification Proposal maps, and in the PCH Project replace all 32+ acres of high-priority Coastal land use that will be lost to sea level rise and coastal erosion and increase the supply of these high-priority Coastal land uses to address increased City/State ‘buildout’ population and visitor demands. 6. Fully disclose and consider the 3-page General Comparative tax-payer Costs/Benefits Analysis of Ponto Park and Promenade, to assure tax-payers (City and/or State) are getting the best and most value for their tax-payer dollars. The City should use tax-payer money as wisely as possible. 7. Incorporate the 5,000+ written/emailed petitions to the Council & CA Coastal Commission, and the Letters from Carlsbad visitor industry, Surfrider Foundation, and Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation. 8. Within the Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 9 portion fully provide the 30-acres of documented missing Unconstrained Growth Management Open Space that developers were supposed to provide. Also fully disclose and incorporate the Ponto Open Space recommendations from North County Advocates per the City’s lawsuit settlement. 9. Fully preserve or mitigate sensitive habitat areas within and adjacent to the PCH Project area consistent with Federal and State Resource agency requirements. 10. Fully provide required storm water quality purification/detention basins in the PCH Project before storm water from and passing through the project area are discharged into the ocean and Batiquitos Lagoon consistent with Federal and State Water Quality regulations and agency requirements. 11. Since PCH Modification will be an expensive Final and Forever design it needs to address Final and Forever vehicle traffic/bike/pedestrian volumes along with unlimited population/visitor growth. There likely is concern about a PCH Modification Project more than doubling current traffic congestion along Coast Highway. Before PCH capacity is forever removed, we should know with 100% certainty that that current capacity will never be needed. Providing much needed (and delayed) pedestrian and bike ways and other needed Coastal land uses can be provided along existing PCH. It is not appropriate to try to pass off a nice pedestrian walkway as “linear park”. 12. Lastly, as requested since 2017, directly engage and specifically involve the San Pacifico Community Association and Ponto Community in the planning and design of that portion of the City’s PCH Project in front of those communities. The City did not provided this engagement in prior City PCH Modification Proposal work. We request the above citizen issues be fully addressed in the City’s PCH Modification Project. Thank you, Lance Schulte People for Ponto Page 1 of 2 City’s PCH Modification Proposal Area Map with notes on usability Constraints and Issues: P4P Input 2 of 2 The City’s map below is marked with the following numbered list of Area Constraints and Issues. The Constraints are from the City’s 2013 PCH Modification designs, the City’s older 2017 Sea Level Rise Impact Study, and on-site observations. The Constraints will limit any fundamental change to the existing PCH landscape. For instance existing slope and habitat area will remain or have to be relocated which will limit the use of any excess land area from PCH Modification. These Constraints will then reduce from 62 acres the actual number of unconstrained and acres that are actually useable and can be used for different uses than currently exist. 1. Loss of the last section of Old "Historic 101" design, ambiance, and openness. Will it be replaced with typical urban arterial design? 2. Freshwater habitat 3. Sewer pumping facility 4. City's 2013 PCH plan for RESTORED RIPARIAN HABITAT 5. Sea Level Rise 2 meter Impact Area 6. City's 2013 PCH plan for BIO SWALE AND RESTORED RIPARIAN HABITAT 7. Existing beach parking to be retained 8. Least Tern habitat 9. Major storm water detention basin 10. Water 11. Slopes will likely need retaining walls to move road inland closer to proposed Kam Sang Resort 12. Endangered Species Habitat 13. City's 2013 PCH plan for COASTAL SAGE SCRUB RESTORATION 14. City's 2013 PCH plan for NATIVE GRASSLAND RESTORATION 15. City's 2013 PCH plan for BIO SWALE AND RESTORED RIPARIAN HABITAT 16. Eliminating access road for homes/businesses south of Cape Rey Resort. Who pays to replace? 17. Removes Cape Rey Resort developer required GMP Open Space for this LFMP. This GMP Open Space will have to be replaced. Who Pays? 18. City's 2013 PCH plan for L.I.D. BASIN / BIO SWALE 19. City left several acres vacant for 20+ years. This area can cost-effectively provide 200-500 more parking spaces w/o any PCH relocation. 20. Unusual jog in roadway. Is this viable? 21. City's 2013 PCH plan for RESTORED NATIVE LANDSCAPE 22. Habitat & need to provide major storm water quality detention basin before discharging urban and creek runoff into ocean. 23. Slopes will likely need retaining walls to move road inland closer to mobile home community. 24. Steep unusable slopes needed for Palomar Airport Road overpass over railroad corridor. For a Cost/Benefit reference point, the City’s PCH Modification at Terramar (CIP project #6054 from Cannon to Manzano) that is less constrained and simpler than South Carlsbad is projected to cost around $13 million per mile. Vacant primarily unconstrained land sale costs at Ponto are documented at around $1.4 to $2.4 million per acre. Honest Cost/Benefit of these two options should be a public tax-payer discussion. 0 250 600 I I II I I i.000 eet I I c::::I Proposed ROW (Approxima y 3 acres) Ar Availabl or 0th r Uses ( ppro ·mat Y 62 ac'mfu 14 • .. ge_,y, R.igk ;.of-w.. bound .. :. .. nd ..ges ~ .ind · af for .. na • only, * For comparative visual reference the area is the 6.5 acr@ eastern portion of Planning Area F.

(See www.PontoLocals.com)  Obtain and consolidate constructive feedback from the residents. Give this feedback to the residents, developers and City so that we can have productive/timely input into the projects and their designs.  Act as a strong, unified voice and with the support of our residents in upcoming Planning, Council and Coastal Commission meetings. Since PBDRC has been formed there has been a growing participation and concurrence from other Carlsbad areas and groups on the consensus PBDRC has consolidated. PBDRC and the SPCA are pleased that the City has taken action to fix a timeline defect in the Growth Management Program related to meeting a City Park standard. However there is another truly once in a lifetime opportunity to improve how the City Park standard is proposed to be met in Ponto and coastal South Carlsbad that we would like to request of the City Council. This opportunity stems from the fact that Ponto is the only vacant coastal land in South Carlsbad and is currently being evaluated for low- priority housing and other types of development. Should it be developed in this way, there will never be another opportunity to have a meaningful park in coastal Southwest Carlsbad west of Interstate 5. The request is to work with Pontolocals to provide a comprehensive and open process for citizens of the City [primarily Southwest and Southeast Carlsbad Citizens] to discuss and define possible better approaches to implement a coastal park in Southwest that can serve all of South Carlsbad. We recently had a community meeting attended by approximately 200 people and this letter reflects some of the near unanimous (90%+) concerns from that meeting. We believe these concerns are also likely to be reflective of many others living in South Carlsbad, and also in North Carlsbad. The City Park Standard is “3.0 acres of Community Park or Special Use Area per 1,000 population within the Park District”. So for every 1,000 Citizens in a Park District, such as the coastal Southwest Quadrant Park District, there is to be 3 acres of City Park to meet the standard. The rational for such a location specific standard is that parks should be distributed so as to be reasonably accessible by all citizens. It is also important to have reasonable and safe park access via walking and biking, not just by motor vehicles. The staff report on correcting the timeline defect in the Park Standard stated that correcting the timeline to correct the park quadrant deficits is “… specifically relevant to the southwest and southeast quadrants. As stated in the report a need for more park acreage in those two quadrants was identified four years ago (during FY 2012-13).” A 6.6 acre park deficit within the Southwest quadrant was identified in the Growth Management Monitoring Report for FY 2014-15. However the report indicates that “Based on the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Capital Improvement Program list of projects, Veteran’s Memorial Park (91.5 acres, with 22.9 acres applied to each quadrant) is proposed to be constructed prior to buildout.” Under this proposal the future Veteran’s Park, that is located in the Northwest Park District and located many miles away from the coastal Southwest and Southeast Quadrants and Park Districts, would be used meet the population and citizen demand for Parks for citizens within the coastal Southwest and Southeast Quadrant’s Park Districts. We know there is an outstanding opportunity for the City to do a great thing for the community and to add tremendous value to the quality of life by augmenting, enhancing, and/or adjusting planned park supply to better serve citizens and the City; and be more consistent with the General Plan and core values of the Growth Management Plan. The fundamental intent of creating four Park Districts (one for each quadrant) and managing and matching demand and supply of City Parks into smaller geographical areas (quadrant park districts) is to make the supply of City Parks reasonably accessible to their demand and more equitably distributed for citizens. Equitable distribution of City Park facilities is the right thing to do and has many citizen and city benefits:  Children and elderly can more easily walk and bike to City Parks when they are close by and within a safe walking and bicycling distance with properly designed access pathways;  Park supply created so far away from park demand creates the need to drive in a car to access the park, thus increasing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Depending on locations this also limits park access for citizens without cars or unable to drive;  When city parks are accessible to their demand by walking/bicycling then less city park land is need to park cars. Citizens get more actual useable park space for each acre of park land;  When city parks are close to their demand busy families can quickly get to them after their workday which allows more park time for families during busy weekends;  Nearby city parks create a stronger sense of stewardship for the “neighborhoods’” park and city parks in general. Citizens watch out and care for their nearby park;  Nearby city parks that are equitably distributed and based on surrounding neighborhood demand serve to strengthen neighborhood quality and property values by providing park amenities close by. It is both a good neighborhood and economic development strategy to assure park demand and supply are locationally matched; and  Fundamentally it is the right thing to do to place park demand and supply in close proximity to each other and promote and equitable distribution public facility demand and supply. In coastal Southwest Carlsbad and South Carlsbad we have some glaring gaps in demand and supply of city parks. For instance: The Carlsbad General Plan Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Element, Figure 4-3 Parks: Shows no existing or planned coastal parks or special use areas west of Interstate 5 for all of South Carlsbad. In North Carlsbad there are 10, parks and special use areas west of Interstate 5 and on or close to the beach (9 of these are existing parks and 1 is a future park). This seems a clear and inherently unfair distribution of coastal park facilities. This unfair distribution severely reduces critical access to coastal park open space near the beach for South Carlsbad Citizens (half the City and over 26,000 homes, and over 64,000 citizens). This unserved demand for city park space in coastal South Carlsbad is evidenced by the dangerous use of the Carlsbad Boulevard [old highway 101] road shoulder and bike lanes and campground road for recreational purposes, parking demand and the frequent unauthorized recreational use of Ponto vacant land. People are using whatever land they can for needed recreational use. South Carlsbad Citizens in Aviara, La Costa, Rancho Carrillo, Bressi Ranch, La Costa Valley and all the other South Carlsbad inland neighborhoods have no coastal South Carlsbad City Beach Park areas to access the coast. Their only option is to drive significant distances (with increase VMT and greenhouse gas emissions] crosstown to access city beach parks in the North, or travel to Encinitas. This forces increased VMT and greenhouse gas emissions which is counter to both State and General Plan goals. Citizens in South Carlsbad only have a State Beach pay parking lot and a retreating primarily steep cobble beach as their “local” beach. The non-beach portion of the South Carlsbad State Beach campground is a road and lodging facility for primarily out-of-town visitors that are near this beach. It is not a city park. The Campground is not designed to serve the park needs of Carlsbad citizens, but is a great place primarily for visitors to affordably pay to spend nights camping near the beach. The lack of any park facilities at the campground is evidenced by the frequent use of the campground driveway (a significant area of the campground) by children and adults as a play area. There is an added benefit in that adding a coastal South Carlsbad Ponto Beach Park would help alleviate growing overcrowding, and increased traffic and parking congestion at North Carlsbad’s coastal parks. Citizens west of Interstate 5 in South Carlsbad have very limited access to a city park. Depending on the neighborhood one lives in, access our nearest park [Poinsettia Park] is between a 2 to 4 mile trip. Residents must cross Interstate 5 using one of only two crossings in the space of over 3 miles. These crossings are on major multi-lane, higher speed roadways (Poinsettia Lane or Palomar Airport Road). The route is not the most safe or direct, and it forces one to drive in a vehicle to access a park which increases VMT. Park access for children, the elderly, and those walking dogs west of Interstate 5 in South Carlsbad is severely restricted or effectively eliminated. Coastal Southwest and all of South Carlsbad have not met their quadrant’s Park area standard since 2012 (per the City’s Growth Management Program). A specific comprehensive and open discussion with the Southwest and all if South Carlsbad citizens on how that deficient should be resolved should occur. The current City solution to meet local park needs of coastal Southwest and South Carlsbad with a paper allocation of park acreage in the Northwest part of the City that is many miles away does not seem right. It seems inconsistent with the core values and Vision of our City. From Carlsbad General Plan Community Vision: “…the Carlsbad Community Vision, which is the foundation for this plan.” This is the foundation for the General Plan. “…In the future, … social connections will be enhanced through … more public gathering places, family- friendly activities, and open spaces within walking distance of people’s homes …” “The community is proud of the exceptional amount of open space in the city, and envisions a future of continued City commitment to open space protection and strategic acquisitions to further the city’s open space system.” “Parks, Fields, and Facilities for All Ages: The network of parks and recreation facilities will be improved to meet the community’s active lifestyle needs. Such improvements may include the strategic addition of more parks, … New facilities will be located to maximize use and access by all neighborhoods, tailored to the needs of local populations, and designed with all ages in mind.” “Beach Uses and Improvements: The beach is an important outdoor recreational resource, and protecting and enhancing access to the beach and the quality of the beach experience is a top community priority.” “ … Access to the beach and the quality of the beach experience will be improved through new compatible and supportive uses on or in close proximity to the beach, which may include … a park …” “Tailored Tourism Strategy: Tourism is an important component of the city’s economy today, and it remains an attractive economic sector for the future since it emphasizes the very resources that make the city attractive to existing residents—the ocean and beach …” “Easy and convenient pedestrian connections will be available from every neighborhood to help children get safely to schools and parks.” From General Plan Land Use Element: “Beach Access and Activity: …the community expressed an overwhelming preference for an active waterfront development strategy, which provides opportunities for activities and uses to be more integrated with the ocean. … Access to the beach will be enhanced through … open space, parking, and amenities …” General Plan Land Use Policy: “2-G.20 Develop an active ocean waterfront, with new growth accommodated west of Interstate 5, to enable residents and visitors to enjoy more opportunities for … recreating along the coastline. Develop public gathering places and recreational opportunities along the coastal corridor.” The City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan includes many areas of direction that strongly support a coastal park west of interstate 5 in South Carlsbad. Many of the most important park facilities and program needs identified in the City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan could be most efficiently addressed with a coastal park in the Ponto area. There are also significant and unique opportunities to create both public/private and public/public partnerships that would not only help reduce City recreation costs but also expand and create unique and special recreational program opportunities currently identified in the City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan. A Ponto city coastal park also implements a major General Plan policy which calls for an active waterfront and creates solutions to long standing Local Coastal Program policy and State Parks Campground issues. There are very unique and special land use compatibility opportunities and synergy from a coastal city park in south Carlsbad and Ponto area that are inline and implement high priorities identified in the City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan. In summary, Carlsbad has a once in a generation opportunity to create very special coastal South Carlsbad Ponto Beach Park in South Carlsbad. This opportunity will be true to our Carlsbad Community Vision and General Plan and the heart and soul of our Growth Management Plan’s standard of matching park demand with park supply within a particular park district. We believe this request benefits not only coastal Southwest Carlsbad and South Carlsbad but all of Carlsbad and is more consistent with the City General Plan, Growth Management Program, and Parks Master Plan and will result in a better, more valued and more sustainable City. We are a key Stakeholder in Ponto and the Poinsettia Shores Maser Plan and Local Coastal Program. We have been hearing similar concerns from other Carlsbad citizens about coastal beach park access and request that the City Council seize this opportunity to work with us to establish a comprehensive and open community discussion about the strategic acquisition of a coastal South Carlsbad Ponto Beach Park for South Carlsbad citizens and businesses. We also request before a solution to the 2012 Southwest quadrant park standard deficit is created we have an open citizen discussion with the Citizens of coastal Southwest Carlsbad on how that solution can better address the park demand created in the Southwest Park District with a better park supply created within that District. Like our City Park Standard says: “3.0 acres of Community Park or Special Use Area per 1,000 population within the Park District”. We request that a coastal City Park West of Interstate 5 be developed in South Carlsbad to be fair and equitable and to meet the needs of South Carlsbad for a coastal City Park to serve all the Citizens of South Carlsbad. This can take advantage of special land use synergies to help promote public/private collaboration, create added property and transit occupancy tax revenues for the City by creating a valuable and synergistic amenity [where none now exists] for over half the City and over 26,000 homes, along with providing support to our City’s visitor serving businesses and activities. It is the right and smart thing to do. The San Pacifico Community Association and PBDRC as key Stakeholders in Ponto wish to be a key participant any proposed City or CCC actions regarding these subjects, and would like to meet with you to see how we can discuss and advance this for the benefit of South Carlsbad Citizens. As we are citizen volunteers we sincerely appreciate advance notification to allow for preparation and coordination with our work lives and to communicate back to our members and other South Carlsbad Citizens. We wish to be notified in advance of any proposed actions related to the issues in thus letter.

What is it? • What is the debate going to be with the city and state? • What will happen with the campground? • Will the grant information be available to the public? • Does that grant work move independently? • Can you help me understand how results of the survey will be used? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. Carlsbad Coastline Project Outreach Meeting Form Date: February 23, 2022 Organization: Terramar Attendees: Dan Walsh (Association President), Nadine Villalobos (Association Secretary), Mike Davis, Bob Pritchard, Laura Keany, Cathy Pritchard, Greg Hallinan, Jed Arrogante, Dana and Kent Whitson, Robert Hannahs, Ron Riccitelli, Sandra Hrna, Paul Miller, C. Ecilannett, David Ebershoff, Britta Wilson, Joannie Project Team: Tom Frank (Transportation Director), Nikki Matosian (Community Relations Manager), Tiffany Metti (Public Outreach Team), Anika Fisch (Public Outreach Team)  Summary: Terramar is interested in preserving natural beauty, enhancing pedestrian access, smart parking implementation and minimizing congestion. Terramar wants to preserve the character of the area and is concerned about commercialization. Concerns: • Lack of public parking. • Parking overflow into neighborhoods and related safety issues. • Concerned that a public park or tourism-serving commercial would make the area into another Pacific Beach, Mission Beach or Ocean Beach, which is not desired. • Palomar Airport Road congestion. Priorities/Needs • Preserve the natural beauty. • Create a large natural path. • Improve access. • Alleviate traffic congestion. • Add a pedestrian bridge. Requests: • Separate parking away from the community. Provide alternative parking options. Limit parking in the neighborhood. Issue parking permits for residents. Think through parking. More parking for beachgoers. • Minimize the idea that the coast has to be for commuting. • Create a bypass commuter route around Terramar, west of railroad tracks, connecting at south end of Palomar Airport Road. • Limit time people can park 2-3 hours max, no parking 9 pm to 5 am. • No motor homes or campers which park all day reducing the number of people who can come enjoy, have loud generators. • Minimize benches which can be used for sleeping. Questions: •Will the team provide concepts? •Are there any discussions about resolving congestion at Palomar Airport Road? Next Steps: Provide updates on later phases. As we look at the project along Carlsbad Blvd south of Cannon past Palomar Airport Road to la Costa please limit the ability of campers, large vehicles to take over parking from morning to night. Here are a few pictures from today along Carlsbad Blvd along the coast. Campers have stairs infringing on the sidewalk, extended beyond standard parking towards the bike lane, acting as this space is a campground vs. a public street. The dirt lot at Palomar Airport is the home to a host of oversized vehicles taking up space for standard vehicles. Thank youll This is an example of what I would prefer not to happen with additional parking, campers, trailers running generators, infringing on walkways. As you can hear in the attached video the generators can be very noisy. Much prefer people to bri ng a chair and find a nice spot to enjoy nature. Walk and run natural trails. Thank you for letting us provide input.

Excuse me, but we enjoy it a lot, just as it is, And the road doesn't need to be moved away from t ile coast. This is wrong.

I would Jove to see a park there similar to the park on the coastline at 15th street in Def Mar. I don't know if the service shed area of il:he fu1thest south campground could be included but that would be a great area for a park. Could that service area be moved to the Nort h end of the Campground where that group site 1s? They hardly ever fill that site, and it stays vacant about 350 days a year. On the South1 park the view of the lagoon and beach ocean would be a wonderful place for people to ga,ther and even possibly host events like concerts or weddings, etc.. I think it is super important to plant appropriate drought resistant trees and plants and it would be a good idea to include some trees to attract some raptors. An osprey, sharp shinned hawk, and red tailed hawks would help with the cliff erosion. The squirrels run rampant throughout the campground and have burrowed through the cliff increasing the rate of decline exponentially. There is one reel tailed hawk that goes in there seldom but we need a Jot more. Carlsbad never reaffy complete.cl the Coastal Rail Trail prnject years ago. It would be very nice to include bike lanes and pedestrian lanes. This project will have to do the right thing by that. Thank you for your time and consideration and Happy Friday!

The City also falsely allowed Ponto Developers to NOT PROVIDE the required 15% unconstrained Open Space required by other developers in Carlsbad. Consequently Ponto is already developed at a density 35% higher than the rest of City. What is missing from South PCH: The only missing components of a Carlsbad Livable (Complete) Street are adequate Coastal sidewalks/pedestrian paths. Better safer protected bike paths for the volume of bike traffic on a higher-speed roadway are highly desired. Both these missing features can be (and should have already long ago been) provided in the existing PCH configuration. Generalized Costs: Costs come from publicly stated costs by Mayor Hall in a 2019 at Meet the Mayor Realtor luncheon at Hilton Garden Inn, City PCH Modification Cost Studies for South PCH, $13 million per mile cost for the simpler City CIP #6054 PCH Modification Project at Terramar, general City cost data from official public records requests, and vacant Ponto land costs of $1.4 to $2.4 million per acre from recent recorded land sales at Ponto. Generalized Benefits: The number of acres and the quality and usability of each of those acres, and the number of new added beach parking for each of the known Option’s define each Option’s benefits. There may be other unknown Options that have different benefits. The City’s 2001 PCH Modification Studies’ highest Park and Open Space Option (2001 ERA Financial Analysis “Alternative 1-parks and open space scheme”) only made possible a 4-acre Active Park north of Palomar Airport Road in North Carlsbad. The City’s 2013 PCH Concept design eliminated that 4-acre Active Park and only showed a few small open space areas with picnic tables. Any PCH Modification Benefits are limited by existing PCH constraints. See attached Part 2: City PCH map with numbered notes on various existing land use constraints from the City’s 2013 PCH Modification Design. PCH Modification: PCH Modification does not add any new City land. Rearranging PCH land may add some usability beyond the usability of existing parkway areas along PCH. However significant land in PCH right-of-way is already constrained by habitat, slopes, and water quality detention basins. Past City Studies in 2001 and 2013 showed relatively modest changes in useable acreage from major PCH Modifications. Forever removing 2-travel lanes (over 50% of PCH capacity due to removing passing ability) will create Terramar traffic congestion, but could repurpose that City pavement for open space. Any net usable amount of open space land will however be relativity narrow and may be modest once all constraints are accounted for. PCH Modification should be accurately compared with the existing usable and open space parkway areas in the existing PCH configuration and Ponto Park situation. See attached Part 2: City PCH map with numbered notes on various existing land use constraints from the City’s 2013 PCH Modification Design. General Comparative cost-benefits of Completing PCH-PCH Modification-Ponto Park – part 1 Page 2 of 4 Comparative tax-payer Cost/Benefits: 1. Completing PCH & adding missing sidewalk/path and additional public parking and bike safety: 177 existing parking spaces along South Carlsbad Blvd Existing 4 vehicle lanes and 2 bike lanes The only missing component of “Complete/Livable Street” is a pedestrian sidewalk/path Total Cost to provide missing sidewalks per City data = $3-5 million (based on path width) Costs for desirable safety upgrade to existing bike lanes are not known Cost to add more Beach parking in abandoned PCH North and South of Poinsettia ranges from:  273 additional spaces = $ 0.76 million  546 additional spaces = $ 1.1 million  Plus an estimated $1.5 million for 2 signalized intersection upgrades for full 4-way access  Cost per parking space is estimated at $19,275 to $13,899 per additional parking space Total cost: $ 3.8 to 6.1 million to provide missing sidewalk/path and add more parking + unknown amount for any desired upgrades to existing bike lanes 2. ‘2013 PCH Modification Proposal’ [AECOM 11/26/2013 Alternative Development Meeting] Total Cost is $75 million per Mayor Matt Hall. PCH Modification would be most the expensive City project so far. $75 million current cost appears consistent with 20-years of cost inflation of the basic (unmitigated environmental and traffic) 2001 costs of $26.5 to 37.3 million (in 2001dollars) identified by the City. The City’s 2001 Study indicated fully mitigated costs will be higher. Total $75 million PCH Modification cost comes to: $ 18.7 to 7.5 million per acre for narrow open space areas (from portions of city roadway) $872,093 per additional parking space  86 additional parking spaces created = 263 replacement spaces - 177 existing spaces removed  Includes multi-use pathway (sidewalk) within primarily native/natural landscaping.  Possible 50% reduction in vehicle lanes (from 4 to 2 lanes) with corresponding traffic congestion like at Terramar. Not clear if Citizens will approve spending $75 million to double traffic congestion.  Includes about 4 - 10 acres for possible narrow passive Park area identified in City’s 2001 PCH Modification Studies. However City’s 2013 PCH Modification (AECOM) plans look like smaller acreage is provided.  Does not purchase any new land (only reconfigures existing City land) so requires Carlsbad Citizens to vote to expend funds per Proposition H.  2013 PCH Modification proposal did not consider and map City’s 2017 sea level rise data to show what areas would be lost due to sea level rise and account for any added cost and issues. 3. Ponto Coastal Park Total Cost: $20 – 22 million to purchase and build 11-acres as Mayor Matt Hall has publicly stated $ 2 to 1.8 million per acre (per Mayor) for new and fully useable City Park area 175% to 10% more total park land than ‘PCH Modification options’  Includes adding 11-acres of new and viable parkland similar in shape (but larger in size) than Carlsbad’s Holiday Park. Site includes both habitat and E-W and N-S connections. General Comparative cost-benefits of Completing PCH-PCH Modification-Ponto Park – part 1 Page 3 of 4  Since an Open Space land purchase per Proposition C acquisition voters exempted such purchases from Proposition H. NCA recommend the site be considered for purchase as Open Space per the City’s obligations under a lawsuit settlement.  Ponto Park’s cost savings over ‘PCH Modification’ = $55 to 53 million  Ponto Park’s + adding missing sidewalks cost savings over ‘PCH Modification’ = $51 to 47 million  Ponto Park’s + adding missing sidewalks + 273 additional parking spaces cost savings over “PCH Modification’ = $50.4 to 46.1 million  Ponto Park’s + adding missing sidewalks + 546 additional parking spaces cost savings over “PCH Modification’ = $50.1 to 45.8 million 4. Combining both #1-PCH Completion and #3-Ponto Park: Combining #1 and #3 creates at cost effective and more beneficial Coastal Park-Coastal Parking- Completes Streets solution. This solution actually adds 11-acres of new City land for a needed Park, provides for a Complete PCH without increasing traffic congestion, does not forever congest PCH travel if future PCH traffic increases, adds comparatively more beach parking, and provides the City with Coastal land use and sea level rise planning flexibility to address future needs by not forever committing the City’s PCH land to a Final solution. See map on page 4 showing land use synergy of combining #1 and #3. $50.4 to 45.8 million in tax-payer cost savings are estimated from combining #1 & #3 compared to the estimated $75 million PCH Modification concept. Combining #1 and #3 provide all the features provided by more Benefits for a reduced a. Ponto Park’s location allows it to use the 337-610 parking spaces created by #1 above (177 existing + 273 to 546 new parking spaces). The 337-610 parking spaces will allow Ponto Park to effectively host Carlsbad’s special community events. b. Acquiring Ponto Park’s 11-acres provides both the City and State of CA with important future land use options to address the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Erosion (SLR) planned by the City. These options are created by leaving the exiting South Carlsbad Blvd right-of-way substantially the same (except for adding needed sidewalks and using the existing Old paved roadway for parking) thus allowing future upland relocation of the Campground. If $75,000,000 is spent on #2 the likelihood this very expensive City expenditure would never be abandoned by the City to allow relocation of the Campground. c. Carlsbad’ 2017 Sea Level Rise study shows SLR will eliminate ½ of the State Campground – a high-priority Coastal land use under the CA Coastal Act. The CA Coastal Act calls for “upland” relocation of high-priority Coastal land uses due to SLR impacts. Ponto Park could also provide for “upland” relocation of the State Campground. Part 2 of this Comparative analysis is a separate 2-page data file. This Part 2 file consists of the City’s PCH map with numbered notes to documented City data on PCH design constraints, mapping the City’s 2017 Sea Level Rise Impact Areas, and outlining the easterly 6.5 acre portion of the 11-acre Planning Area F site that could be Ponto Park for acreage comparison purposes.

Sea Level Rise and Carlsbad’s DLCP-LUPA’s projected/planned Loss of Open Space at Ponto Page 1 of 7 Sea Level Rise and Carlsbad’s DLCP-LUPA’s projected/planned Loss of Open Space at Ponto Introduction: Carlsbad first documented Sea Level Rise (SLR) and associated increases in coastal erosion in a December 2017 Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment (2017 SLR Assessment). Prior planning activities (2010 Ponto Vision Plan – rejected by CA Coastal Commission, and 2015 General Plan Update) did not consider SLR and how SLR would impact Coastal Open Space Land Use & CA Coastal Act ‘High-Priority’ Coastal Open Space Land Uses at Ponto. The 2017 SLR Assessment shows Open Space land and Open Space Land Uses are almost exclusively impacted by SLR at Ponto & South Coastal Carlsbad. The 2017 SLF Assessment also shows significant LOSS of Open Space land acreage and Land Uses. Most all impacted Open Space Land Uses are CA Coastal Act “High-Priority Coastal Land Uses” – Coastal Recreation (i.e. Public Park) and Low-Cost Visitor Accommodations. Existing Ponto Open Space Land Uses are already very congested (non-existent/narrow beach) and very high, almost exclusionary, occupancy rates (Campground) due to existing population/visitor demands. Future population/visitor increases will make this demand situation worst. The significant permanent LOSS of existing Coastal Open Space land and Coastal Open Space Land Use (and land) due to SLR reduces existing supply and compounds Open Space congestion elsewhere. Prior Ponto planning did not consider, nor plan, for significant SLR and current/future “High-Priority” Coastal Open Space Land Use demands. Open Space and City Park demand at Ponto: Open Space at Ponto is primarily ‘Constrained’ as defined by the City’s Growth Management Program (GMP), and cannot be counted in meeting the City’s minimal 15% ‘Unconstrained’ GMP Open Space Standard. Per the GMP Open Space Standard, the developers of Ponto should have provided in their developments at least 30-acres of additional ‘Unconstrained’ GMP Open Space at Ponto. City GIS mapping data confirm 30-acres of GMP Standard Open Space is missing at Ponto (Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 9). The City of Carlsbad GIS Map on page 2 shows locations of Open Spaces at Ponto. This map and its corresponding tax parcel-based data file document Ponto’s non-compliance with the GMP Open Space Standard. A summary of that City GIS data file is also on page 2. The City said Ponto’s non-compliance with the GMP Open Space Standard was ‘justified’ by the City ‘exempting’ compliance with the Standard. The City ‘justified’ this ‘exemption’ for reasons that do not appear correct based on the City’s GIS map and data on page 2, and by a review of 1986 aerial photography that shows most of Ponto as vacant land. The City in the Citywide Facilities Improvement Plan (CFIP) said 1) Ponto was already developed in 1986, or 2) Ponto in 1986 already provided 15% of the ‘Unconstrained’ land as GMP Standard Open Space. Both these ‘justifications’ for Ponto ‘exemption’ in the CFIP were not correct. The legality of the City ‘exempting’ Ponto developers from the GMP Open Space Standard is subject to current litigation. The City proposes to continue to exempt future Ponto developers from providing the missing 30-acres of minimally required GMP Open Space, even though a change in Ponto Planning Area F land use from the current ‘Non-Residential Reserve” Land Use requires comprehensive Amendment of the Local Facilitates Management Plan Zone 9 to account for a land use change. City exemption is subject of litigation. Ponto (west of I-5 and South of Poinsettia Lane) currently has 1,025 homes that per Carlsbad’s minimal Park Standard demand an 8-acre City Park. There is no City Park at Ponto. Coastal Southwest Carlsbad has an over 6.5 acre Park deficit that is being met 6-miles away in NW Carlsbad. Ponto is in the middle of 6-miles of Coastline without a City Coastal Park west of the rail corridor. City GIS map of Ponto's (LFMP Zone 9) Open Space: • Light green areas meet the City's 15% unconstrained Growth Management Program Open Space Standard • Most Ponto Open Space (pink hatch & blue [water] on map) is "Constrained" and does not meet the Standard • Aviara -Zone 19, Ponto -Zone 9 and Hanover/Poinsettia Shores -Zone 22 all developed around the same time and had similar vacant lands. • City required Aviara -Zone 19 east of Ponto to provide the 15% Standard Open Space.

In December 2017 the City conducted the first Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment https://www.carlsbadca.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=33958. The 2017 SLR Assessment is an initial baseline analysis, but it shows significant SLR impacts on Ponto Open Space. More follow-up analysis is being conducted to incorporate newer knowledge on SLR projections and coastal land erosion accelerated by SLR. Follow-up analysis may likely show SLR impacts occurring sooner and more extreme. Troublingly the 2017 SLR Assessment shows SLR actually significantly reducing or eliminating Open Space land at Ponto. SLR is projected to only impact and eliminate Open Space lands and Open Space Land Use at Ponto. The loss of Ponto Open Space land and Land Use being at the State Campground, Beaches, and Batiquitos Lagoon shoreline. The losses of these Open Space lands and land uses would progress over time, and be a permanent loss. The 2017 SLR Assessment provides two time frames near- term 2050 that match with the Carlsbad General Plan, and the longer-term ‘the next General Plan Update’ time frame of 2100. One can think of these timeframes as the lifetimes of our children and their children (2050), and the lifetimes of our Grandchildren and their children (2100). SLR impact on Coastal Land Use and Coastal Land Use planning is a perpetual (permanent) impact that carries over from one Local Coastal Program (LCP) and City General Plan (GP) to the next Updated LCP and GP. Following are excerpts from the 2017 Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment: [Italicized text within brackets] is added data based on review of aerial photo maps in the Assessment. Planning Zone 3 consists of the Southern Shoreline Planning Area and the Batiquitos Lagoon. Assets within this zone are vulnerable to inundation, coastal flooding and bluff erosion in both planning horizons (2050 and 2100). A summary of the vulnerability assessment rating is provided in Table 5. A discussion of the vulnerability and risk assessment is also provided for each asset category. 5.3.1. Beaches Approximately 14 acres of beach area is projected to be impacted by inundation/erosion in 2050. … Beaches in this planning area are backed by unarmored coastal bluffs. Sand derived from the natural erosion of the bluff as sea levels rise may be adequate to sustain beach widths, thus, beaches in this reach were assumed to have a moderate adaptive capacity. The overall vulnerability rating for beaches is moderate for 2050. Vulnerability is rated moderate for the 2100 horizon due to the significant amount of erosion expected as the beaches are squeezed between rising sea levels and bluffs. Assuming the bluffs are unarmored in the future, sand derived from bluff erosion may sustain some level of beaches in this planning area. A complete loss of beaches poses a high risk to the city as the natural barrier from storm waves is lost as well as a reduction in beach access, recreation and the economic benefits the beaches provide. 5.3.3. State Parks A majority of the South Carlsbad State Beach day-use facilities and campgrounds (separated into four parcels) were determined to be exposed to bluff erosion by the 2050 sea level rise scenario (moderate exposure). This resource is considered to have a high sensitivity since bluff erosion could significantly impair usage of the facilities. Though economic impacts to the physical structures within South Carlsbad State Beach would be relatively low, the loss of this park would be significant since adequate space for the park to move inland is not available (low adaptive capacity). State Sea Level Rise and Carlsbad’s DLCP-LUPA’s projected/planned Loss of Open Space at Ponto Page 4 of 7 parks was assigned a high vulnerability in the 2050 planning horizon. State park facilities are recognized as important assets to the city in terms of economic and recreation value as well as providing low-cost visitor serving amenities. This vulnerability poses a high risk to coastal access, recreation, and tourism opportunities in this planning area. In 2100, bluff erosion of South Carlsbad State Beach day-use facilities and campgrounds become more severe and the South Ponto State Beach day-use area becomes exposed to coastal flooding during extreme events. The sensitivity of the South Ponto day-use area is low because impacts to usage will be temporary and no major damage to facilities would be anticipated. Vulnerability and risk to State Parks remains high by 2100 due to the impacts to South Carlsbad State Beach in combination with flooding impacts to South Ponto.

For example, Planning Area F requires the city and developer to "consider and document the need for the provision of lower cost visitor accommodations or recreational facilities (i.e., public park) on the west side of the railroad. … this study should be undertaken as a part of the visitor serving use inventory analysis described above. If this analysis determines that there is a deficit of low cost visitor accommodations or recreation facilities in this area, then Planning Area F should be considered as a site where these types of uses could be developed.” Official Carlsbad Public Records Requests (PRR 2017-260, et. al.) confirmed the Existing LCP and its Ponto specific existing LUP polices and Zoning regulations were never followed in the City’s prior Ponto planning activities (i.e. 2010 Ponto Vision Plan & 2015 General Plan Update). The projected SLR loss of recreation (beach) and low-cost visitor accommodations (campground) at Ponto should factor in this Existing LCP required analysis, and a LCP-LUP for Ponto and Ponto Planning Area F. In a February 11, 2020 City Council Staff Report City Staff stated: “On March 14, 2017, the City Council approved the General Plan Lawsuit Settlement Agreement (Agreement) between City of Carlsbad and North County Advocates (NCA). Section 4.3.15 of the Agreement requires the city to continue to consider and evaluate properties for potential acquisition of open space and use good faith efforts to acquire those properties.” ("atyof Carlsbad Cal l forn l a Sec, Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Figure 5: CoSMoS Bluff Erosion Projections by 2100 (CoSMoS-COAST 2015) Sea Level Rise and Carlsbad’s DLCP-LUPA’s projected/planned Loss of Open Space at Ponto Page 7 of 7 In 2020 NCA recommended the City acquire Ponto Planning Area F as Open Space. The status of City processing that recommendation is unclear. However the Lawsuit Settlement Agreement and NCA’s recommendation to the City should also be considered in the required Existing LCP analysis. Summary: Tragically Carlsbad’s’ Draft Local Coastal Program – Land Use Plan Amendment (DLCP-LUPA) is actually planning to both SIGNIFICATLY REDUCE Coastal Open Space acreage, and to eliminate ‘High-Priority Coastal Open Space Land Uses at Ponto due to SLR. The Existing LCP requirements for Ponto Planning Area F to analyze the deficit of Coastal Open Space Land Use should factor in the currently planned LOSS of both Coastal Open Space acreage and Coastal Open Space Land Uses at Ponto due to SLR. As a long-range Coastal Land Use Plan this required LCP analysis needs to also consider the concurrent future increases in both population and visitor demand for those LOST Coastal Open Space acres and Coastal Open Space Land Uses. It is very troubling that demand for these CA Coastal Act ‘High-Priority’ Coastal Open Space Land Uses is increasing at the same time the current (near/at capacity) supply of these CA Coastal Act ‘High-Priority’ Coastal Open Space Land Uses is significantly decreasing due to SLR. Instead of planning for long-term sustainability of these CA Coastal Act ‘High-Priority’ Coastal Open Space Land Uses for future generations there appears to be a plan to use SLR and inappropriate (lower-priority residential) Coastal Land Use planning to forever remove those CA Coastal Act ‘High-Priority’ Coastal Open Space Land Uses from Ponto. CA Coastal Act Policies to address these issues should be thoroughly considered. 2021-2 proposed Draft Local Coastal Program – Land Use Plan Amendment (DLCP-LUPA) will likely result in City and CA Coastal Commission making updates to the 2015 General Plan, based on the existing Ponto Planning Area F LCP – LUP Policy requirements, Ponto Open Space issues, high-priority Coastal Land Use needs, and SLR issues not addressed in the 2015 General Plan. August 31, 2017 To: Carlsbad City Council council@carlsbadca.gov Carlsbad Parks & Recreation Commission at mike.pacheco@carlsbadca.gov Carlsbad Planning Commission at Don.Neu@carlsbadca.gov Kevin Crawford, City Manager at manager@carlsbadca.gov Chris Hazeltine, Parks & Recreation, City of Carlsbad chris.hazeltine@carlsbadca.gov Don Neu, Planning, City of Carlsbad Don.Neu@carlsbadca.gov Subject: City Park Standard in Southwest and South Carlsbad Dear Carlsbad City Council: The San Pacifico Community Association (SPCA) represents over 450 homes (around 1,000 Citizens) in the Southwest Quadrant/Park District of Carlsbad, and is the primary component and stakeholder of the Poinsettia Shores Planned Community (Poinsettia Shores Master Plan and Local Coastal Program). SPCA supported the residents in creating the Ponto Beachfront Development Review Committee (PBDRC) to:  Provide information to all San Pacifico residents (and surrounding neighborhoods) on the developments. (See www.PontoLocals.com)  Obtain and consolidate constructive feedback from the residents. Give this feedback to the residents, developers and City so that we can have productive/timely input into the projects and their designs.  Act as a strong, unified voice and with the support of our residents in upcoming Planning, Council and Coastal Commission meetings. Since PBDRC has been formed there has been a growing participation and concurrence from other Carlsbad areas and groups on the consensus PBDRC has consolidated. PBDRC and the SPCA are pleased that the City has taken action to fix a timeline defect in the Growth Management Program related to meeting a City Park standard. However there is another truly once in a lifetime opportunity to improve how the City Park standard is proposed to be met in Ponto and coastal South Carlsbad that we would like to request of the City Council. This opportunity stems from the fact that Ponto is the only vacant coastal land in South Carlsbad and is currently being evaluated for low- priority housing and other types of development. Should it be developed in this way, there will never be another opportunity to have a meaningful park in coastal Southwest Carlsbad west of Interstate 5. The request is to work with Pontolocals to provide a comprehensive and open process for citizens of the City [primarily Southwest and Southeast Carlsbad Citizens] to discuss and define possible better approaches to implement a coastal park in Southwest that can serve all of South Carlsbad. We recently had a community meeting attended by approximately 200 people and this letter reflects some of the near unanimous (90%+) concerns from that meeting. We believe these concerns are also likely to be reflective of many others living in South Carlsbad, and also in North Carlsbad. The City Park Standard is “3.0 acres of Community Park or Special Use Area per 1,000 population within the Park District”. So for every 1,000 Citizens in a Park District, such as the coastal Southwest Quadrant Park District, there is to be 3 acres of City Park to meet the standard. The rational for such a location specific standard is that parks should be distributed so as to be reasonably accessible by all citizens. It is also important to have reasonable and safe park access via walking and biking, not just by motor vehicles. The staff report on correcting the timeline defect in the Park Standard stated that correcting the timeline to correct the park quadrant deficits is “… specifically relevant to the southwest and southeast quadrants. As stated in the report a need for more park acreage in those two quadrants was identified four years ago (during FY 2012-13).” A 6.6 acre park deficit within the Southwest quadrant was identified in the Growth Management Monitoring Report for FY 2014-15. However the report indicates that “Based on the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Capital Improvement Program list of projects, Veteran’s Memorial Park (91.5 acres, with 22.9 acres applied to each quadrant) is proposed to be constructed prior to buildout.” Under this proposal the future Veteran’s Park, that is located in the Northwest Park District and located many miles away from the coastal Southwest and Southeast Quadrants and Park Districts, would be used meet the population and citizen demand for Parks for citizens within the coastal Southwest and Southeast Quadrant’s Park Districts. We know there is an outstanding opportunity for the City to do a great thing for the community and to add tremendous value to the quality of life by augmenting, enhancing, and/or adjusting planned park supply to better serve citizens and the City; and be more consistent with the General Plan and core values of the Growth Management Plan. The fundamental intent of creating four Park Districts (one for each quadrant) and managing and matching demand and supply of City Parks into smaller geographical areas (quadrant park districts) is to make the supply of City Parks reasonably accessible to their demand and more equitably distributed for citizens. Equitable distribution of City Park facilities is the right thing to do and has many citizen and city benefits:  Children and elderly can more easily walk and bike to City Parks when they are close by and within a safe walking and bicycling distance with properly designed access pathways;  Park supply created so far away from park demand creates the need to drive in a car to access the park, thus increasing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Depending on locations this also limits park access for citizens without cars or unable to drive;  When city parks are accessible to their demand by walking/bicycling then less city park land is need to park cars. Citizens get more actual useable park space for each acre of park land;  When city parks are close to their demand busy families can quickly get to them after their workday which allows more park time for families during busy weekends;  Nearby city parks create a stronger sense of stewardship for the “neighborhoods’” park and city parks in general. Citizens watch out and care for their nearby park;  Nearby city parks that are equitably distributed and based on surrounding neighborhood demand serve to strengthen neighborhood quality and property values by providing park amenities close by. It is both a good neighborhood and economic development strategy to assure park demand and supply are locationally matched; and  Fundamentally it is the right thing to do to place park demand and supply in close proximity to each other and promote and equitable distribution public facility demand and supply. In coastal Southwest Carlsbad and South Carlsbad we have some glaring gaps in demand and supply of city parks. For instance: The Carlsbad General Plan Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Element, Figure 4-3 Parks: Shows no existing or planned coastal parks or special use areas west of Interstate 5 for all of South Carlsbad. In North Carlsbad there are 10, parks and special use areas west of Interstate 5 and on or close to the beach (9 of these are existing parks and 1 is a future park). This seems a clear and inherently unfair distribution of coastal park facilities. This unfair distribution severely reduces critical access to coastal park open space near the beach for South Carlsbad Citizens (half the City and over 26,000 homes, and over 64,000 citizens). This unserved demand for city park space in coastal South Carlsbad is evidenced by the dangerous use of the Carlsbad Boulevard [old highway 101] road shoulder and bike lanes and campground road for recreational purposes, parking demand and the frequent unauthorized recreational use of Ponto vacant land. People are using whatever land they can for needed recreational use. South Carlsbad Citizens in Aviara, La Costa, Rancho Carrillo, Bressi Ranch, La Costa Valley and all the other South Carlsbad inland neighborhoods have no coastal South Carlsbad City Beach Park areas to access the coast. Their only option is to drive significant distances (with increase VMT and greenhouse gas emissions] crosstown to access city beach parks in the North, or travel to Encinitas. This forces increased VMT and greenhouse gas emissions which is counter to both State and General Plan goals. Citizens in South Carlsbad only have a State Beach pay parking lot and a retreating primarily steep cobble beach as their “local” beach. The non-beach portion of the South Carlsbad State Beach campground is a road and lodging facility for primarily out-of-town visitors that are near this beach. It is not a city park. The Campground is not designed to serve the park needs of Carlsbad citizens, but is a great place primarily for visitors to affordably pay to spend nights camping near the beach. The lack of any park facilities at the campground is evidenced by the frequent use of the campground driveway (a significant area of the campground) by children and adults as a play area. There is an added benefit in that adding a coastal South Carlsbad Ponto Beach Park would help alleviate growing overcrowding, and increased traffic and parking congestion at North Carlsbad’s coastal parks. Citizens west of Interstate 5 in South Carlsbad have very limited access to a city park. Depending on the neighborhood one lives in, access our nearest park [Poinsettia Park] is between a 2 to 4 mile trip. Residents must cross Interstate 5 using one of only two crossings in the space of over 3 miles. These crossings are on major multi-lane, higher speed roadways (Poinsettia Lane or Palomar Airport Road). The route is not the most safe or direct, and it forces one to drive in a vehicle to access a park which increases VMT. Park access for children, the elderly, and those walking dogs west of Interstate 5 in South Carlsbad is severely restricted or effectively eliminated. Coastal Southwest and all of South Carlsbad have not met their quadrant’s Park area standard since 2012 (per the City’s Growth Management Program). A specific comprehensive and open discussion with the Southwest and all if South Carlsbad citizens on how that deficient should be resolved should occur. The current City solution to meet local park needs of coastal Southwest and South Carlsbad with a paper allocation of park acreage in the Northwest part of the City that is many miles away does not seem right. It seems inconsistent with the core values and Vision of our City. From Carlsbad General Plan Community Vision: “…the Carlsbad Community Vision, which is the foundation for this plan.” This is the foundation for the General Plan. “…In the future, … social connections will be enhanced through … more public gathering places, family- friendly activities, and open spaces within walking distance of people’s homes …” “The community is proud of the exceptional amount of open space in the city, and envisions a future of continued City commitment to open space protection and strategic acquisitions to further the city’s open space system.” “Parks, Fields, and Facilities for All Ages: The network of parks and recreation facilities will be improved to meet the community’s active lifestyle needs. Such improvements may include the strategic addition of more parks, … New facilities will be located to maximize use and access by all neighborhoods, tailored to the needs of local populations, and designed with all ages in mind.” “Beach Uses and Improvements: The beach is an important outdoor recreational resource, and protecting and enhancing access to the beach and the quality of the beach experience is a top community priority.” “ … Access to the beach and the quality of the beach experience will be improved through new compatible and supportive uses on or in close proximity to the beach, which may include … a park …” “Tailored Tourism Strategy: Tourism is an important component of the city’s economy today, and it remains an attractive economic sector for the future since it emphasizes the very resources that make the city attractive to existing residents—the ocean and beach …” “Easy and convenient pedestrian connections will be available from every neighborhood to help children get safely to schools and parks.” From General Plan Land Use Element: “Beach Access and Activity: …the community expressed an overwhelming preference for an active waterfront development strategy, which provides opportunities for activities and uses to be more integrated with the ocean. … Access to the beach will be enhanced through … open space, parking, and amenities …” General Plan Land Use Policy: “2-G.20 Develop an active ocean waterfront, with new growth accommodated west of Interstate 5, to enable residents and visitors to enjoy more opportunities for … recreating along the coastline. Develop public gathering places and recreational opportunities along the coastal corridor.” The City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan includes many areas of direction that strongly support a coastal park west of interstate 5 in South Carlsbad. Many of the most important park facilities and program needs identified in the City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan could be most efficiently addressed with a coastal park in the Ponto area. There are also significant and unique opportunities to create both public/private and public/public partnerships that would not only help reduce City recreation costs but also expand and create unique and special recreational program opportunities currently identified in the City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan. A Ponto city coastal park also implements a major General Plan policy which calls for an active waterfront and creates solutions to long standing Local Coastal Program policy and State Parks Campground issues. There are very unique and special land use compatibility opportunities and synergy from a coastal city park in south Carlsbad and Ponto area that are inline and implement high priorities identified in the City’s Park and Recreation Master Plan. In summary, Carlsbad has a once in a generation opportunity to create very special coastal South Carlsbad Ponto Beach Park in South Carlsbad. This opportunity will be true to our Carlsbad Community Vision and General Plan and the heart and soul of our Growth Management Plan’s standard of matching park demand with park supply within a particular park district. We believe this request benefits not only coastal Southwest Carlsbad and South Carlsbad but all of Carlsbad and is more consistent with the City General Plan, Growth Management Program, and Parks Master Plan and will result in a better, more valued and more sustainable City. We are a key Stakeholder in Ponto and the Poinsettia Shores Maser Plan and Local Coastal Program. We have been hearing similar concerns from other Carlsbad citizens about coastal beach park access and request that the City Council seize this opportunity to work with us to establish a comprehensive and open community discussion about the strategic acquisition of a coastal South Carlsbad Ponto Beach Park for South Carlsbad citizens and businesses. We also request before a solution to the 2012 Southwest quadrant park standard deficit is created we have an open citizen discussion with the Citizens of coastal Southwest Carlsbad on how that solution can better address the park demand created in the Southwest Park District with a better park supply created within that District. Like our City Park Standard says: “3.0 acres of Community Park or Special Use Area per 1,000 population within the Park District”. We request that a coastal City Park West of Interstate 5 be developed in South Carlsbad to be fair and equitable and to meet the needs of South Carlsbad for a coastal City Park to serve all the Citizens of South Carlsbad. This can take advantage of special land use synergies to help promote public/private collaboration, create added property and transit occupancy tax revenues for the City by creating a valuable and synergistic amenity [where none now exists] for over half the City and over 26,000 homes, along with providing support to our City’s visitor serving businesses and activities. It is the right and smart thing to do. The San Pacifico Community Association and PBDRC as key Stakeholders in Ponto wish to be a key participant any proposed City or CCC actions regarding these subjects, and would like to meet with you to see how we can discuss and advance this for the benefit of South Carlsbad Citizens. As we are citizen volunteers we sincerely appreciate advance notification to allow for preparation and coordination with our work lives and to communicate back to our members and other South Carlsbad Citizens. We wish to be notified in advance of any proposed actions related to the issues in thus letter.

INTRODUCTION The Carlsbad Boulevard Realignment Study is an analysis of alternative scenarios for realigning Carlsbad Boulevard away from the coast bluff edge and, in the process, creating opportunities for commercial, recreation, and open space uses. One of the study's objectives is to explore ways to generate revenue from useable public land created, including potential land sale or lease opportunities, and using this revenue to help offset the cost of realigning the road. This Phase II report is a preliminary evaluation of each scenario's financial implications. The Phase I report, presented in April 1999, evaluated the market context in which development may take place. Some of the key rent and market assumptions presented in this report are based on the 1999 research, adjusted for inflation. A market analysis update has not taken place since 1999. The values presented here are preliminary estimates for planning purposes only, and should not be interpreted as valuations or appraisals since they are based on conceptual development programs, gross preliminary development cost factors, and two-year old market research. Valuations or appraisals will require greater due diligence regarding current market conditions, more specific development and site planning programs, and more detailed cost estimates.

DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS URS Corporation and the City of Carlsbad have identified four alternative land use scenarios for a realigned Carlsbad Boulevard. The proposed realignment creates 4-6 new surplus land areas resulting 5-7 potential parcels (see the Carlsbad Boulevard Realignment Study -Phase I and Phase II for more details regarding these alignments and surplus land areas). The consultant team prepared hypothetical development programs for each alternative. These hypothetical development programs are not recommendations; rather, they were devised to test the potential financial impact of the following alternative approaches towards reuse of the surplus land that is created with the road realignment. They were also designed to serve as a starting point for discussion of preferred uses and to allow the decision-makers to select and combine the elements from each alternative that they find most desirable. Finally, these scenarios serve as starting points for discussions with State Parks, which is critical for the pivotal Manzano parcel. • Alternative 1 tests the financial impacts of a parks and open space scheme. It assumes that no major commercial development occurs and that the surplus parcels are used for parking, community facilities, parks, open space, and camping (concessionaire), as shown in Table 1. • Alternative 2 tests the financial impacts of a predominately parks and open space scheme, with limited commercial development. It assumes that a time-share and executive meeting hotel is built on a small portion of Surplus Area 1, and that the rest of Surplus Area 1 and all of the other parcels are used for parking, community facilities, parks, or open space, as shown in Table 2. • Alternative 3, as shown in Table 3, tests the financial impacts of a significant commercial development scheme. It assumes significant commercial development on almost half of Surplus Areas 1 (specialty retail, restaurants, and office) and 3 (hotel), and all of Surplus Areas 2 (time-share), 6A (time-share), and 6B (office), as shown in Table 3. More than half of Surplus Area 1 is used as park space and more than half of Surplus Area 3 remains open space. Parcels 4 and 5 provide parking and open space. • Alternative 4 tests the financial impacts of a significant commercial development scheme for a majority of Surplus Area 1 (specialty retail, restaurants, time-share, and executive meeting hotel), with a neighborhood park on the remaining portion of Surplus Area 1, as shown in Table 4. Parcels 2, 3, and 6A remain open space, and 4, 5, and 6B contain public parking and open space.

LAND AND FISCAL VALUE ESTIMATES ERA estimated the approximate residual land value and the capitalized value of the estimated fiscal revenue associated with each of the alternative alignments and development scenarios. The estimates are very preliminary since they are based on hypothetical development programs without architectural designs, rent assumptions based on 1999 research (updated to 2001 values), preliminary site capacity and site planning analysis, and gross development cost estimates for buildings and site development. The detailed analyses for each alternative are presented in Appendix A. These estimates, which are not appraisals, will need to be revised as development programs become more specific, and they do not form the basis for a financial offering, bond, or prospectus without additional planning, engineering, cost estimating, and due diligence. The residual land value estimates translate into the potential revenue generated from commercial land sales, or the capitalized values of leases, of surplus land areas created by the road realignment. These estimates are preliminary approximations of what a developer might be willing to pay for the land in order to obtain a reasonable rate of return on total capital (debt and equity capital). In order to be conservative, no real ' appreciation was assumed; in other words, rents only rise with inflation. Some developers may speculate that rents will rise faster than inflation, which would result in higher values than estimated in this report. The fiscal revenue translates into the capitalized value of the potential fiscal resources to the City and Redevelopment Agency that could help finance some of the Carlsbad Boulevard realignment costs. The total revenue from commercial land sales (or leases) and the capitalized value of fiscal revenue was compared to URS Corporation's preliminary estimate of road realignment costs ($18.8 million), and Wallace, Roberts, and Todd's preliminary estimates of possible public parking, parks, open space, and community facility costs ($8.5-12.1 million). While road realignment costs are required to produce the surplus parcels, costs to develop the open space are flexible. The estimates provided assume maximum improvements to the open space. As shown in Table 5, Alternative 1, the least commercial scenario, generates very limited revenue, only $1.1 million in commercial land value, and over $0.2 million in the capitalized value of fiscal revenue, for a total of almost $1.3 million. Other sources would have to fund over $17.5 million in road construction costs, and $9.0 million in public facility, parks, and open space costs, or the amount of improvements would have to be reduced.

This amount is enough to cover the $18.8 million in road realignment costs, but not enough to cover the estimated $12.1 million in potential public facility, parks, and open space costs. Other sources would have to fund approximately $ I 0.8 million in public facility, parks, and open space costs, or the amount or type of improvements would have to be reduced. Alternative 3, the most commercial scenario, generates an estimated $28.2 million in revenues from commercial land value, and $24.7 million in capitalized fiscal revenue, for a total of $52.9 million. This amount is substantially more than enough to cover the $18.8 million in road realignment costs, and $8.5 million in public facility, parks, and open space costs. Alternative 4 generates an estimated $19.5 million in commercial land value, and $16.4 million in capitalized fiscal revenue, for a total of $35.9 million, which is more than enough to cover the $18.8 million in road realignment costs, and $9.4 million in public facility, parks, and open space costs. QUALi FiCA TIO NS While it appears that alternatives 3 and 4 generate enough revenue to cover development costs, the findings at this preliminary planning stage of analysis are qualified, as follows: • The cost estimates are based on gross cost factors and need to be refined as project design becomes more specific. • The cost estimates do not include any extraordinary off-site costs, such as for environmental or o traffic mitigation. D D D D • Some of the parcels identified for potential development, particularly those west of the alignment, may be vulnerable to long term erosion problems; therefore, their stability needs to be verified. PROJECT No. 141 SB LAND AND FISCAL VALUE ESTIMATES 9 D D D D D D D D D D D D 0 D D D D 0 D •1;141 Economics Resear-ch Associates • A significant share of value and fiscal revenue in scenarios 2, 3, and 4 is attributable to hotels, which in 1999 demonstrated only average performance, especially among moderately priced hotels. Also, a new hotel has been developed since 1999. While the parcels identified for potential hotel development are competitive because of the views they offer, hotel development and financing are relatively risky. • WRT has determined that the hypothetical development programs can fit on the parcels, and URS Corporation has initially determined that the circulation system can accommodate the development. However, there could be difficult site planning issues with some of the parcels that would limit their development potential to less than what is assumed in this analysis. • The development cost estimates for the commercial development scenarios, for the most part, do not assume structured parking. If structured parking is required, development costs could be greater which would diminish residual land values unless higher rents are achievable. • Most of the value is generated on Surplus Area 1, which is owned by the State of California. The City or Redevelopment Agency would not realize the value of Surplus Area I unless the State trades the parcel to the City or Agency for other considerations. Therefore, the City or Agency may not be able to apply proceeds from the value of Surplus Area I to road realignment and public facility costs. Nevertheless, under Alternative 3, the capitalized value of the fiscal revenue alone might be sufficient to cover road construction costs and a portion of public facility costs. The capitalized value of fiscal revenue under Alternative 4 comes close to covering road construction costs, but is not sufficient to cover other public facility costs. • Competitive market conditions could change which would affect the market potential of the development programs assumed in the scenarios analyzed in this report. The estimated values are based on the hypothetical development programs for each parcel. If development programs change, the values will change.

OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES FOR FUNDING REALIGNMENT COSTS The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and State of California Transportation Department (CalTrans) are the traditional sources of funds for capital improvements to highways. For example, the Federal government offers approximately 70 different transportation-funding programs. The majority of these funds are made available for disbursement to regional entities such as SANDAG, while a small portion is made available directly to municipalities. FUNDS AVAILABLE DIRECTLY TO MUNICIPALITIES The CalTrans Local Assistance Program (LAP) is responsible for helping municipalities located in CalTrans District 11 identify which Federal and State funding programs for which they are eligible and guiding them through the application process. Each program is specifically tailored for a given need, and has very strict eligibility requirements. One such specialized program funds "Intelligent Transportation Systems". Funds are available to projects that integrate new technology (computer-related) with the road/highway project to improve traffic flow. Because this program is new, eligibility requirements are not yet well defined. There is no program specifically for road or highway realignment. Moreover, it is estimated that for every 10 applicants to each of the programs above, only the most urgent project is funded, leaving 90 percent of the applications unsuccessful. Given the level of competition for funds, if the City of Carlsbad finds that portions of the road may fall into one or more of the eligible categories, the application should present as compelling a case as possible. In any case, once a specific construction plan has been determined, a representative from the City of Carlsbad should meet with a representative from the Local Assistance Program to discuss the program in detail and determine whether or not portions of the project are eligible for Federal or State aid. Finally, another option is direct funding from special state legislative action. REGIONAL FUNDS The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) administers the apportionment of funds from the larger, more general State and Federal transportation funding programs. The most likely source of funding for a project such as the realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard is the Regional Arterial Projects section of the Surface Transportation Projects. PROJECT No. 14158 OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES FOR FUNDING REALIGNMENT COSTS 11 0 D 0 Economics Research Associates For a project to receive an apportionment from SANDAG, it must be included in the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP). The City of Carlsbad is an active participant on the CTEC committee, the body that periodically updates the RTIP. However, it is important to note that the current RTIP (2000-2004) provides only $153 million towards projects estimated to cost nearly $392 million. Also, the current RTIP specifically 0 states that "local governments will obtain private developer financing for those on-and off-site roadway and transit improvement necessary to accommodate the increased travel generated by private development." D D D □ 0 0 0 D 0 0 D D 0 0 0 The major source of Federal transportation funds administered by SAND AG is the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century (TEA-21). In addition to highway and surface road construction and improvements, TEA- 21 is a source of funds for driver safety initiatives, transit programs, rail projects, and transportation research. TEA-21 was established in 1998 and funded through 2003, thus funding levels beyond that time are unknown. The Surface Transportation Program (STP) is the section of TEA-21 relevant to the realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard. One STP program, Transportation Enhancement Activities Program, funds highway enhancement activities over and above mitigation, standard landscaping and other permit requirements for a normal transportation project. Project eligibility categories under the Transportation Enhancement Program which may be applicable to the realignment of Carlsbad Boulevard are: I) Scenic or historic highway programs; 2) Landscaping and other scenic beautification; 3) Environmental mitigation to address water pollution due to highway runoff. Currently, all TEA-21 funds, including STP, have been assigned to projects (detailed in SANDAG's 2000 Regional Transportation Improvement Plan); however, SANDAG continues to pursue additional discretionary funding available through TEA-21 on an annual basis. In 1987, San Diego voters passed Proposition A, which authorized a one-half percent sales tax increase dedicated for transportation improvements. The first $1 million in annual TransNet revenue is set aside for bicycle-related projects and the remainder is divided equally between highway, public transit and local street and road projects. Highway projects are approved for funding by SANDAG, Ca!Trans, the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board, and the North San Diego County Transit Development Board. Local street and road projects are approved for funding by the city councils of the 18 cities and the County Board of Supervisors. The Carlsbad Boulevard Realignment project is a potential candidate project. TransNet funds have been programmed through 2004, and the measure will expire in 2008.

To the extent that the realignment also increases road capacity that is required to mitigate the impacts of new development, developer financed road improvements or impact fees may apply. If the road realignment simply moves the road without enhancing capacity for future local developments, however, the nexus may not be strong enough for developer funding or impact fees to apply. Alternatively, the City may negotiate voluntary contributions to road realignment costs through development agreements on larger land development projects in the vicinity of Carlsbad Boulevard that require City discretionary approval. Since the proposed Carlsbad Boulevard Realignment project is within a newly adopted redevelopment project area, the City's Redevelopment Agency may use tax increment to finance some of the realignment costs. Tax increment financing does not result in higher tax rates; rather, the incremental gain in property tax revenues is directed toward certain improvements within a redevelopment project area. To the extent that the realignment creates parcels that are commercially developed, the realignment project will be directly responsible for the tax increment generated by those commercial developments. Because tax increment will not be generated until the parcels are developed with commercial uses, there may be a cash flow financing issue to overcome to fund the realignment costs that will occur in advance of tax increment. Another type of property tax increment financing is the Infrastructure Financing District (IFD). It also is based on the incremental gain in property taxes rather than an increase in tax rates. The City of Carlsbad was one of the first jurisdictions in California to form an IFD. Unlike tax increment in redevelopment project areas, an IFDs do not have to be located in redevelopment project areas and, therefore, do not have to address blight or meet the "predominately urbanized" test of redevelopment law. The public facility that is financed must serve the community at large. However, unlike a redevelopment project area that can be formed by Council action, an IFD must be approved by two-thirds of th1e voters if 12 or more registered voters reside in the district. Otherwise, two-thirds of the property owners within the district must vote to approve the district. The affected taxing agencies must also approve the district and tax increment sharing must be negotiated.

The assessments may be pledged to support debt service on bonds, issued under the Improvement Bond Act of I 915. The formation process must establish the scope of improvements, identify the benefiting parcels, and detennine an equitable allocation of costs. Property owners vote for or against formation of an assessment district at a public hearing. Some of the benefiting properties that are owned by the State may not be assessed. A Community Facilities District, commonJy known as a Mello-Roos district, is a special tax that can be based on a formula that has a less strict benefit allocation. However, a Community Facilities District requires two- thirds voter approval of voters residing within tbe district. If there are fewer than twelve registered voters in the district, the qualified electors are defined as owners of land within the district, with each owner allowed one vote per acre. General Obligation Bonds, backed by the full faith and credit of the City, are the most secure and lowest cost form of debt financing. However, it would require two-thirds voter approval among Carlsbad's electorate, which may be difficult for the Carlsbad Boulevard Realignment project unless it is perceived as a project that has citywide benefits. Finally, the General Fund may be used to fund a portion of road improvements through the Capital Improvement Plan, either as direct allocations, or as annual lease payments on Certificates of Participation. Fiscal revenue from development on surplus parcels could help augment the G~neral Fund, especially if a hotel or specialty retail is developed, to enable the City to use General Fund monies for some of the road realignment and other public facility costs. (QNCLUSIQN Both the SANDAG representative and the Ca]Trans Local Assistance Program representative noted that most road or highway realignments are done to faciJitate development. ~olicymakers are aware of this and generally design funding programs in a way that encourages the private sector to pay for as much of the project costs as possible. Programs are also designed to encourage municipalities to utilize funds from their share of the gas tax, TransNet, and even the General Fund and Community Development Block Grants before turning to State and Federal funds .

San Diego County, CA 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project (Project) proposes to conduct annual maintenance and clearing activities within an approximately 7,000 square-foot area located at the western terminus of the existing flood control channel associated with the Encina Wastewater Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF), located at 6200 Avenida Encinas in the City of Carlsbad, California (Figure 1). The Project Area is located west of Interstate (I) 5 freeway and east of Carlsbad Highway 101. The Project Area is surrounded by mixed-use residential, industrial, retail, and urban/developed areas to the north, south and east. Naturally occurring habitat surrounding the Project Area includes coastal scrub, riparian scrub, and freshwater marsh, generally to the west of the Project. The Encina Wastewater Authority Biological Resources Assessment (Rincon 2017) (2017 BRA) was previously prepared by Rincon Consultants, Inc. in January of 2017 for a similarly related Encina Wastewater Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF) channel maintenance project. The 2017 BRA identified potential project-related impacts and habitat types for proposed annual maintenance to restore as- designed flow capacity to the EWPCF flood control channel. Subsequently approved annual maintenance has included restoration (removal of debris, soil, vegetation) of all areas of the flood control channel from the eastern boundary of the EWPCF extending west to the concrete energy dissipation apron at the outflow end of the channel beneath the North County Transit District (NCTD) railroad tracks. Beyond the concrete energy dissipation apron, lies an approximately 7,000-square foot grouted rip rap bed. The grouted rip rap bed is not currently approved for maintenance and is the focus of the currently proposed Project (Figure 4). This Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) evaluates the proposed annual maintenance of this 7,000- square foot grouted rip rap bed located at the terminus of the existing EWPCF flood control channel apron. Currently, the grouted rip rap bed is impacted by years of sediment accumulation that now supports native riparian scrub habitat. While annual channel maintenance outlined in the 2017 BRA continues to support original flood control channel capacity, a recent 2019 storm event came very close to overflooding the channel and EWPCF. Therefore, the proposed Project is in alignment with the pervious project’s intent to preserve the original design flow conveyance capacity of the flood control channel and prevent potential flooding from large storm events that could disrupt the services provided by the EWPCF. Contrary to the 2017 BRA, the new Project and Survey Areas do support sensitive habitats, including various wetland habitat types associated with Encinas Creek within and adjacent to the proposed Project Area that may be considered jurisdictional by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), the California Coastal Commission (CCC)/City, and/or California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). As such, this report has been prepared in concurrence with a formal jurisdictional assessment, conducted by Blackhawk Environmental on October 2, 2020. Results of this Jurisdictional Delineation are presented in the Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project Jurisdictional Delineation Report (Blackhawk Environmental 2020). Primary access to the Project site is via Avenida Encinas, EWPCF internal roads, and an existing vehicle ramp within the EWPCF, as stated within the 2017 BRA. Project vehicles and equipment will use the existing ramp to travel down into the flood control channel and reach the Project site. Project implementation will require the use of existing dewatering, stockpile, and spreading areas within the EWPCF that are used for the management of solids (vegetation, debris, sediment) associated with the Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 5 annual flood control channel maintenance as described in the 2017 BRA and authorized under RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9-2017-0044. Project maintenance is proposed to be completed within a an approximately 14-day period initially and is proposed annually thereafter. Project timing is contingent on approvals and permit authorizations but is anticipated to occur initially during the 2021 dry season. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 6 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) was prepared by Blackhawk Environmental, Inc. (Blackhawk) for EWA in accordance with the Habitat Management Plan (HMP) for Natural Communities in the City of Carlsbad (City of Carlsbad 2004) and its supporting documents/programs: the City of Carlsbad (City) Guidelines for Biological Studies (City of Carlsbad 2008), and the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (City of Carlsbad 2014). The HMP constitutes the City’s subarea plan within the Multiple Habitat Conservation Program Subregional Plan (MHCP) for north coastal San Diego County and meets the goals of California’s Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) program. The studies detailed herein were conducted to identify the locations of sensitive natural resources, identify the potentials for occurrences (PFOs) of special-status plant and wildlife species, and to develop mitigation measures to offset potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts to any such resources on and/or adjacent to the proposed Project alignment. Additionally, the BRA serves to illustrate the baseline conditions for which the determination of impacts and mitigation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) should be analyzed during the environmental review process. 1.1 Project Location The proposed Project is located within an approximately 7,000 square foot (sq. ft.) area at the western terminus of the existing flood control channel associated with the Encina Wastewater Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF), located at 6200 Avenida Encinas in the City of Carlsbad, California. The EWPCF is located approximately 0.25 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, within the north area of San Diego County (Figure 1). The studied area in this assessment includes the Project Area, which is described in detail below, and an additional 100-foot buffer (Survey Area)(Figure 4). Existing onsite and surrounding land uses include a variety of undeveloped natural vegetation communities and wetland types, as well as developed, mixed-use residential, industrial and retail areas. The Encinas Creek flood control channel, which is considered part of Encinas Creek, bisects the EWPCF and the Project Area. 1.2 Background and Need EWA operates and maintains a sewer system as well as wastewater treatment facilities and the flood control channel that serve the Encinas Creek Watershed within North San Diego County. The EWA is a public agency that provides secondary wastewater treatment services to approximately 380,000 residents in North San Diego County. As stated in the 2017 BRA, service to these residents has (in the past) been disrupted, due to heavy storm-induced flow events which overwhelm the flood control channel. Although the flood control channel was designed to handle heavy storm-induced flow events and runoff from Encinas Creek, lack of regular maintenance within the channel reduced the stormwater flow conveyance capacity of the channel. Under RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9-2017-0044, EWA completed scheduled annual maintenance in 2018 and 2019 to remove accumulated sediment and debris from within the concrete-lined flood control channel. The east/west oriented flood control channel bisects the EWPCF into EWPCF North and EWPCF South and conveys runoff from the upstream Encinas Creek watershed (Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, hydrologic area 904.40) and the EWPCF. The flood control channel terminates at an energy dissipation apron abutting a vegetated area west of the North County Transit District (NCTD) railroad tracks. The flood control channel is approximately 32 feet wide, 10 feet high, and 800 feet long (0.8 acre). Flow enters a triple box culvert downstream of the EWPCF site crossing under Avenida Encinas and the NCTD Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 7 train tracks. Each culvert measures approximately 8 feet tall by 10 feet wide, spanning a length of 320 feet. At the culvert’s exit, a concrete apron dissipates hydraulic energy and conveys the stormwater downstream into a natural stream channel before proceeding under Pacific Coast Highway into the Pacific Ocean. Annual maintenance within the channel, from EWA’s eastern property line and westward to the concrete energy dissipation apron at the outflow end of the channel beneath the NCTD railroad tracks, is currently permitted by RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9-2017-0044. Despite annual maintenance of EWA’s 0.8-acre concrete-lined flood control channel, intense storm events in 2019 continued to cause significant flooding and risk overwhelming the channel capacity. This is due to approximately 3-4 feet of build-up (composed of debris, sediment, and vegetation) above the grouted rip rap bed, west of the concrete energy dissipation apron at the outflow end of the channel. This build-up at the outflow end of the channel acts like a dam. During large storm events, this “dam” impedes the historical outflow path for stormwater and runoff from Encinas Creek to the Pacific Ocean. Potential flooding of the EWPCF during future storm events remains a serious risk without regular maintenance of the grouted rip rap bed. Flooding events compromise and/or disrupt wastewater treatment services by flooding roadways, process tanks, building, and other critical facilities within the EWPCF. Additionally, prolonged disruption of services at the EWPCF would affect the 380,000 residents it serves and could impact water quality entering the Pacific Ocean if partially treated effluent must be discharged. 1.3 Project Description The purpose of the proposed Project is to restore the original (as-designed) flow conveyance capacity, at the outflow end of the EWPCF flood control channel, through scheduled annual maintenance, consisting primarily of the removal of accumulated debris, sediment, and vegetation above the grouted rip rap bed. It is anticipated that approximately 900 cubic yards (CY) of total solids volume will be removed from above the grouted rip rap bed of approximately 7,000 square feet, located west of the concrete energy dissipation apron and concrete-lined flood control channel. All maintenance work will be completed within the concrete lined and rip rap portions of the channel, culvert, and energy dissipation structure; no new construction of permanent structures or modification of existing structures is proposed as part of the proposed Project. Project maintenance is proposed to be completed within a an approximately 14-day period initially and is proposed annually thereafter. Project timing is contingent on approvals and permit authorizations but is anticipated to occur initially during the 2021 dry season. The majority of the Project footprint occurs at the outflow end of the EWPCF flood control channel. The Project is proposed to occur concurrently with the existing annual maintenance conducted within the concrete lined channel within the EWPCF facility and would utilize existing access, stockpile locations and spreading areas. Use of these previously authorized areas would entail construction vehicles and equipment accessing the main flood control channel from within the EWPCF using the existing vehicle access ramp. Other areas associated with the Project include a temporary dewatering area, a temporary stockpile location and a sediment spreading area. Dewatering activities, for settling of sand, silt and organic materials, will be completed within a temporarily bermed area within the flood control channel. Dry weather flows may also be diverted through one of three box culverts using temporary sandbag barriers. During rain events, all equipment will be removed from channel, and work will be suspended if necessary. Large debris and trash will be properly disposed of off-site, and the remaining sediment (soil/organic material) will be transported from the flood control channel to the EWPCF South Parcel sediment spreading area via EWPCF internal roads and Avenida Encinas. EWA will implement Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 8 standard construction Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as straw wattles and silt fences, as needed at the South Parcel to prevent sediment from leaving the site and entering the Avenida Encinas public right-of-way. Hydraulic mulch (e.g., bonded fiber matrix) will be applied as needed on top of the placed sediment to prevent erosion and promote vegetative covering that will provide permanent erosion protection once established. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 9 2.0 METHODS Methods described below focused on determination of potential for occurrence of special-status plant and wildlife species. Species are considered to be special-status, and are therefore subject to analysis in this section, if they meet one or more of the following criteria: ● Plant and animal species listed as endangered (FE), threatened (FT), or candidates (FPE or FPT) for listing under the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA); ● Plant and animal species listed as endangered (SE), threatened (ST), or candidates (SPE or SPT) for listing under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA); ● Animals designated as Fully Protected Species (FP), as defined in California Fish and Game Code Sections 3511, 4700, 5050, and 5515; ● Animal species designated as Species of Special Concern (SSC) by the CDFW; ● Bat species designated as High Priority (H) by the Western Bat Working Group; ● Plants that are state listed as Rare1; or ● Plant species ranked by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) as having a California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) of 1 or 2.2 Sensitive natural communities are communities that have a limited distribution and are often vulnerable to the environmental effects of projects. CDFW identifies sensitive communities and keeps records of their occurrences in CNDDB. These communities may or may not contain special-status species or their habitats. In addition, vegetation communities that are considered to be of high importance for MHCP species are combined by the MHCP and the City’s HMP into habitat groups for purposes of assigning mitigation ratios. For purposes of this assessment, sensitive natural communities are considered to be any of the following: ● Vegetation communities listed in the CNDDB; ● Communities listed in the Natural Communities List with a rarity rank of S1 (critically imperiled), S2 (imperiled), or S3 (vulnerable). 2.1 Literature Review Prior to conducting the biological surveys, California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) species occurrence records searches were conducted within 5 miles of the Project Area to assess the Project Area for its potential to contain State and/or federally listed threatened, endangered and/or otherwise special-status plant and animal species, as well as endemic species and species provided take coverage under the City’s HMP (CDFW CNDDB, accessed October 2020) (Figures 2 and 3). Along with the City’s HMP guidelines, the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (City of Carlsbad 2008), and the City’s Guidelines for Biological Studies (City of Carlsbad 2008) were reviewed to ensure compliance with the City’s requirements for protection of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs), planning areas, and other sensitive biological resources. Additionally, information from the 2017 BRA (Rincon Consultants, Inc., 2017), a similarly related EWA channel maintenance project, was reviewed. Soil type data from the Natural Resources 1 Plants that were previously state listed as “Rare” have been re-designated as state threatened. 2 Under the CEQA review process, only CRPR 1 and 2 species are considered, as these are the only CNPS species that meet CEQA’s definition of “rare” or “endangered.” Impacts to List 3 and 4 species do not meet CEQA’s definition of “rare” or “endangered.” Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 10 Conservation Service (NRCS) were also reviewed to assist with identifying suitable habitat for special- status species potentially present. The results of the literature review were used to focus biological survey efforts for any special-status species perceived to have some potential to occur on and/or adjacent to the Project Area. Following the habitat assessment, potentials for special-status species to occur were evaluated based on proximity, connectivity, recency and abundance of known occurrences, availability of suitable habitats, historic distributions of the species, and existing site conditions. Potentials for occurrence were generally evaluated based on the following criteria: ● Present – The species was observed within the Project area during the survey effort. ● High Potential – Historic, database, and/or inventory records indicate that the species has been known to occur within the vicinity of the Project (1-3 miles), and suitable habitat occurs onsite. The species has a high probability of being found on the site. ● Moderate Potential – Historic, database, and/or inventory records indicate that the species has been known to occur within the vicinity of the Project, but low quality suitable habitat occurs onsite, or; no records occur within the vicinity of the Project, but the Project occurs within the historic range of the species, and moderate to high quality habitat occurs onsite. The species has a moderate probability of being found on the site. ● Low Potential – Historic, database, and/or inventory records indicate that the species has not been known to occupy the immediate vicinity of the Project, and low quality habitat for the species exists onsite, or; records occur within the vicinity of the Project, but the majority of the habitat on and adjacent to the site is unsuitable or of very poor quality. The species is not likely to be found on the site. ● Presumed Absent – The species is restricted to habitats not occurring within the Project site or is considered extirpated from the Project area. 2.2 Survey Methods The biological resource survey was conducted on October 2, 2020 by Blackhawk biologists Kris Alberts, Lorena Bernal and Desiree Johnson. All biological surveys were performed according to the latest protocols and North County MHCP guidelines for biological surveys and reporting, specifically the City’s HMP and they City’s Guidelines for Biological Studies. The survey occurred from 0930 to 1125, under favorable weather conditions of 78°F to 89°F, 0-2 mph winds, no precipitation and 0-percent cloud cover. The biologists conducted the survey on foot; however, portions of the Survey Area that were inaccessible (e.g., steep slopes, dense vegetation, areas submerged with water) were visually inspected with binoculars (10 x 40). Several tasks were accomplished during the biological survey. Onsite and adjacent areas were characterized for their existing conditions and current land uses. In order to inform the analysis of indirect impacts and proposed off-site uses, the survey included all proposed Project parcels as well as an additional 100 feet surrounding the Project (Survey Area). The onsite vegetation communities were identified by dominant species present and mapped directly onto high-resolution aerial imagery for Geographic Information System (GIS) extrapolation (Figure 4). Potentials for occurrence (PFO) of Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 11 special-status plant and animal species resulting from the literature review were assessed in relation to the existing conditions of the Project site. Representative photographs were collected to document current conditions of the parcels as well as the general surroundings (Appendix B). All plant species observed within the Project Site, plus all wildlife observed by sight, sign and/or sound within the vicinity of the Project site, were cataloged in the field notes of the biologists to compile species lists (Appendix C). The Project site and its immediately adjacent area were assessed for the presence/absence of potentially jurisdictional waters of the USACE, RWQCB, CCC, CDFW and/or City of Carlsbad Resource Protection Ordinance defined wetlands, including vernal pools. 2.2.1 Vegetation Mapping On October 2, 2020 vegetation mapping was conducted to map all vegetation communities within the Survey Area (Figure 4). Vegetation mapping was conducted by Blackhawk biologists Kris Alberts, Lorena Bernal and Desiree Johnson. Prior to conducting the biological survey, Blackhawk reviewed the City’s HMP, the City’s Guidelines for Biological Studies and the vegetation community classifications according to Holland (1986) and Oberbauer (2008) to determine those resources that were applicable for use during the mapping effort. Vegetation community mapping was completed according to the City’s HMP and Guidelines for Biological Studies. Under the City’s HMP, vegetation communities are grouped into six specific Habitat Groups and Types (A-F) for the purposes of mitigation ratios for project-related impacts. Additionally, the City’s HMP describes sensitive habitats which may have special requirements if a project is adjacent to a Hardline Area or within the Coastal Zone. According to the City’s HMP, the Project and Survey Area are within the City’s Coastal Zone. The California Coastal Commission has jurisdiction over lands within the Coastal Zone. As such, specific conservation standards apply to all projects within this area. These standards, as they apply to the Project, are described below under Section 5.0 Project Impacts. Vegetation community classifications and boundaries were made directly into the geographic information system (GIS) mapping application, “Collector for ArcGIS”. GIS software (i.e., ArcGIS) was used to calculate acreages and areas of the features within the Survey Area. Biological field notes were prepared to document the dominant and subdominant plant species within the various communities. Plants were identified by visual observation, and nomenclature for common native plants followed Hickman (1993) as updated by the Jepson Online interchange (Jepson Flora Project 2016). Nomenclature for ornamental plants followed Brenzel (2001). 2.2.2 Biological Resource Survey Blackhawk biologists Kris Alberts, Lorena Bernal and Desiree Johnson conducted a biological resource survey on October 2, 2020, between the hours of 0930 and 1130. Air temperatures ranged from 78 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to 89 degrees F. Wind speed during the survey ranged from 0-2 mph. Additionally, no precipitation or cloud cover was observed during the survey. Focused surveys were not conducted for special-status wildlife species; however, wildlife species observed or detected during field surveys by sight, calls, tracks, scat, or other signs were recorded in the field notes of the biologists. Binoculars were used when necessary to assist with wildlife species identification. Potentials for occurrence (PFO) of special-status plant and wildlife species resulting from the literature review were assessed in relation to the existing conditions of the Project and Survey Area. The ability to identify wildlife species was limited by seasonal and temporal factors. Nocturnal animals were not Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 12 observed directly, as the survey was performed during the day. In addition, seasonally migratory species that may be present within the area only at specified periods outside survey timing may not have been detected. Latin and common names of wildlife species followed the American Ornithologists’ Union (2018) and Unitt (2004) for birds; Crother (2012) for amphibians and reptiles; and North American Butterfly Association (NABA) (2001) or SDNHM (2002) for butterflies. 2.2.3 Jurisdictional Delineation Survey and Report A formal jurisdictional delineation of waters and wetlands was conducted by Blackhawk wetland specialist Kris Alberts on October 2, 2020. The delineation effort followed guidelines set forth by USACE (1987, 2008) and was performed to gather field data at potentially jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and Waters of the State within the proposed Project Area. Methodology and results of this jurisdictional delineation are presented in the Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project Jurisdictional Delineation Report (JDR), Carlsbad, County of San Diego, California (Blackhawk 2020) as Appendix D. 2.3 Limitations That May Influence Results The vegetation mapping, jurisdictional delineation and wildlife surveys were conducted during the day and during months of the year when most blooming annuals and perennials were not evident or identifiable. Focused surveys for wildlife and plants were not conducted. In addition, these surveys were conducted during the daytime, which usually results in few observations of mammals, many of which may be active at night. In addition, many species of reptiles and amphibians are nocturnal or cryptic in their habits and are difficult to observe using standard survey methods. Therefore, conservative estimates regarding the PFOs of certain special-status plant and wildlife species have been considered with appropriate mitigation measures proposed herein. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 13 3.0 REGULATORY SETTING This section is divided into sub-sections that include Federal, State and Local regulations that apply to the Project as proposed. 3.1 State and Federal Take Authorizations for Listed Species Federal or state authorizations of impacts to or incidental take of a listed species by a private individual or other private entity would be granted in one of the following ways: • Section 7 of the FESA stipulates that any federal action that may affect a species listed as threatened or endangered requires a formal consultation with USFWS to ensure that the action is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the listed species or result in destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat. 16 U.S.C. 1536(a)(2). • In 1982, the FESA was amended to give private landowners the ability to develop Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP) pursuant to Section 10(a) of the FESA. Upon development of an HCP, the USFWS can issue incidental take permits for listed species where the HCP specifies at minimum, the following: (1) the level of impact that will result from the taking, (2) steps that will minimize and mitigate the impacts, (3) funding necessary to implement the plan, (4) alternative actions to the taking considered by the applicant and the reasons why such alternatives were not chosen, and (5) such other measures that the Secretary of the Interior may require as being necessary or appropriate for the plan. • Sections 2090-2097 of the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) require that the state lead agency consult with CDFW on projects with potential impacts on state-listed species. These provisions also require CDFW to coordinate consultations with USFWS for actions involving federally listed as well as state- listed species. In certain circumstances, Section 2080.1 of the California Fish and Game Code allows CDFW to adopt the federal incidental take statement or the 10(a) permit as its own based on its findings that the federal permit adequately protects the species under state law. 3.2 Federal 3.2.1 Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) The Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (FESA) defines an endangered species as “any species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” A threatened species is defined as “any species that is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” Under provisions of Section 9(a)(1)(B) of the FESA it is unlawful to “take” any listed species. “Take” is defined in Section 3(18) of FESA: “...harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct.” Further, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), through regulation, has interpreted the terms “harm” and “harass” to include certain types of habitat modification that result in injury to, or death of species as forms of “take.” These interpretations, however, are generally considered and applied on a case-by-case basis and often vary from species to species. In a case where a property owner seeks permission from a Federal agency for an action that could affect a Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 14 federally listed plant and animal species, the property owner and agency are required to consult with USFWS. Section 9(a)(2)(b) of the FESA addresses the protections afforded to listed plants. Federally-Designated Special-Status Species All references to federally protected species in this Report (whether listed, proposed for listing, or candidate) include the most current published status or candidate category to which each species has been assigned by USFWS. Additionally, the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern 2008 report was published to identify the migratory and non-migratory bird species (beyond those already federally listed) that represent the highest conservation priorities for USFWS. For this report, the following acronyms are used for federal special-status species: • FE: Federally listed as Endangered • FT: Federally listed as Threatened • FPE: Federally proposed for listing as Endangered • FPT: Federally proposed for listing as Threatened • FC: Federal Candidate species (Former Category 1 candidates) • BCC: USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern 3.2.2 Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (PL 65-186, as amended; 16 USC §§ 703 et seq.) protects most birds, whether or not they migrate. Birds, their nests, eggs, parts, or products may not be killed or possessed. Game birds are listed and protected except where specific seasons, bag limits, and other features govern their hunting. Exceptions are made for some agricultural pests, which require a USFWS permit (yellow-headed, red-winged, bi-colored, tri-colored, Rusty and Brewer’s Blackbirds, cowbirds, all grackles, crows and magpies). Some other birds that injure crops in California may be taken under the authority of the County Agricultural Commissioner (meadowlarks, horned larks, golden-crowned sparrows, white- and other crowned sparrows, goldfinches, house finches, acorn woodpeckers, Lewis’ woodpeckers and flickers). Permits may be granted for various non-commercial activities involving migratory birds and some commercial activities involving captive-bred migratory birds. 3.2.3 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (PL 95-616; 16 USC §§ 668 et seq.) provides for protection of the bald and golden eagles by prohibiting taking, possession, and commerce in the birds. 3.2.4 Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 (PL 96-366; 16 USC §§2901 et seq.) provides for conservation, protection, restoration and propagation of certain species, including migratory birds threatened with extinction. 3.2.5 Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) The Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States to protect water quality and the beneficial uses of these waters. Through a permit application process, Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 15 CWA Section 404 regulates dredge and fill discharges to waters of the United States. Vernal Pools Vernal pools are considered “problem areas” because vegetation or hydric soils may be lacking due to seasonal filling by rainfall and eventual drying. As described in the Arid Supplement, “the species composition of some wetland plant communities in the Arid West can change in response to seasonal weather patterns and long-term climatic fluctuations. Wetland types that are influenced by these shifts include vernal pools, playa edges, seeps and springs. Lack of hydrophytic vegetation during dry periods should not immediately eliminate a site from further consideration as a wetland.” In addition, since they support seasonally ponded soils, when soil investigations are performed within vernal pools, they may lack hydric soil indicators. The USACE includes problem soils as “seasonally ponded, depressional wetlands (that) occur in basins and valleys throughout the Arid West. Most are perched systems, with water ponding above a restrictive soil layer, such as a hardpan or clay layer, that is at or near the surface (e.g., in Vertisols). Some of these wetlands lack hydric soil indicators due to limited saturation depth, saline conditions or other factors.” 3.3 State 3.3.1 State of California Endangered Species Act (CESA) California’s Endangered Species Act (CESA) defines an endangered species as “a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that is in danger of becoming extinct throughout all, or a significant portion, of its range due to one or more causes, including loss of habitat, change in habitat, overexploitation, predation, competition, or disease.” The State defines a threatened species as “a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that, although not presently threatened with extinction, is likely to become an Endangered species in the foreseeable future in the absence of the special protection and management efforts required by this chapter. Any animal determined by the commission as rare on or before January 1, 1985 is a threatened species.” Candidate species are defined as “a native species or subspecies of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that the commission has formally noticed as being under review by the department for addition to either the list of endangered species or the list of threatened species, or a species for which the commission has published a notice of proposed regulation to add the species to either list.” Candidate species may be afforded temporary protection as though they were already listed as threatened or endangered at the discretion of the Fish and Game Commission. Unlike the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA), CESA does not list invertebrate species. Article 3, Sections 2080 through 2085, of the CESA addresses the taking of threatened, endangered, or candidate species by stating “No person shall import into this state, export out of this state, or take, possess, purchase, or sell within this state, any species, or any part or product thereof, that the commission determines to be an endangered species or a threatened species, or attempt any of those acts, except as otherwise provided.” Under the CESA, “take” is defined as “hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill.” Exceptions authorized by the state to allow “take” require permits or memoranda of understanding and can be authorized for endangered species, threatened species, or candidate species for scientific, educational, or management purposes and for take incidental to otherwise lawful activities. Sections 1901 and 1913 Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 16 of the California Fish and Game Code provide that notification is required prior to disturbance. State-Designated Special-Status Species Some mammals and birds are protected by the state as Fully Protected (FP) Mammals or Fully Protected Birds, as described in the California Fish and Game Code, Sections 4700 and 3511, respectively. California Species of Special Concern (SSC) are species designated as vulnerable to extinction due to declining population levels, limited ranges, and/or continuing threats. This list is primarily a working document for the CDFW’s California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) project. Informally listed taxa are not protected but warrant consideration in the preparation of biotic assessments. For some species, the CNDDB is only concerned with specific portions of the life history, such as roosts, rookeries, or nest sites. For this report the following acronyms are used for State special-status species: • SE: State-listed as Endangered • ST: State-listed as Threatened • SCE: State candidate for listing as Endangered • SCT: State candidate for listing as Threatened • FP: State Fully Protected • SSC: Species of Special Concern California Rare Plant Rank The CNPS is a private plant conservation organization dedicated to the monitoring and protection of special-status species in California. The California Native Plant Society’s California Native Plant Society’s Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California separates plants of interest into five categories. CNPS has compiled an inventory comprised of the information focusing on geographic distribution and qualitative characterization of Rare, Threatened, or Endangered vascular plant species of California. The list serves as the candidate list for listing as threatened and endangered by CDFW. 3.3.2 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Shortly after the United States federal government passed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was passed in 1970 to institute a statewide policy of environmental protection. CEQA does not directly regulate land uses, but instead requires state and local agencies within California to follow a protocol of analysis and public disclosure of environmental impacts of proposed projects and adopt all feasible measures to mitigate those impacts. CEQA makes environmental protection a mandatory part of every California state and local agency's decision-making process. CEQA Thresholds of Significance Environmental impacts relative to biological resources are assessed using impact significance threshold criteria, which reflect the policy statement contained in CEQA, Section 21001(c) of the California Public Resources Code. Accordingly, the State Legislature has established it to be the policy of the State of California to: “Prevent the elimination of fish or wildlife species due to man’s activities, ensure that fish Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 17 and wildlife populations do not drop below self-perpetuating levels, and preserve for future generations representations of all plant and animal communities...” Determining whether a project may have a significant effect, or impact, plays a critical role in the CEQA process. According to CEQA, Section 15064.7 (Thresholds of Significance), each public agency is encouraged to develop and adopt (by ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation) thresholds of significance that the agency uses in the determination of the significance of environmental effects. A threshold of significance is an identifiable quantitative, qualitative or performance level of a particular environmental effect, non-compliance with which means the effect will normally be determined to be significant by the agency and compliance with which means the effect normally will be determined to be less than significant. In the development of thresholds of significance for impacts to biological resources CEQA provides guidance primarily in Section 15065, Mandatory Findings of Significance, and the CEQA Guidelines, Attachment G, Environmental Checklist Form. Section 15065(a) states that a project may have a significant effect where: “The project has the potential to: substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or wildlife community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare, or threatened species, ...” Therefore, for the purpose of this analysis, impacts to biological resources are considered potentially significant (before considering offsetting mitigation measures) if one or more of the following criteria discussed below would result from implementation of the proposed Project. Criteria for Determining Significance Pursuant to CEQA Attachment G of the 1998 State CEQA guidelines indicate that a project may be deemed to have a significant effect on the environment if the project is likely to: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means. d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species, or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 18 e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. CEQA Guidelines Section 15380 The CEQA requires evaluation of a project’s impacts on biological resources and provides guidelines and thresholds for use by lead agencies for evaluating the significance of proposed impacts. Sections 5.1.1 and 5.2.2 below set forth these thresholds and guidelines. Furthermore, pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15380, CEQA provides protection for non-listed species that could potentially meet the criteria for state listing. For plants, CDFW assigns California Rare Plant Ranks (CRPR) to species categorized as List 1A, 1B, or 2 of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants in California may meet the criteria for listing and should be considered under CEQA. CDFW also recommends protection of plants, which are regionally important, such as locally rare species, disjunctive populations of more common plants, or plants on the CNPS Lists 3 or 4. 3.3.3 California Fish & Game Codes 3500 Series California Fish & Game Codes 3500, 3503, 3503.5, 3505, 3511 and 3513 are State regulations that cover resident and non-resident game birds, protected bird nests, protected raptor nests, egrets, ospreys, Fully Protected bird species, and take considerations for Migratory Bird Treaty Act birds. • Code 3500: “(a) Resident game birds are as follows: (1) Doves of the genus Streptopelia, including, but not limited to, spotted, ringed turtledoves, and Eurasian collared-doves.

There are 64 species, subspecies, and varieties of plants that are protected as rare under the NPPA. The NPPA prohibits take of endangered or rare native plants, but includes some exceptions for agricultural and nursery operations, emergencies, and/or with proper notification to the CDFW for vegetation removal from canals, roads, and other sites, changes in land use, and in certain other situations. 3.4 Local 3.4.1 City of Carlsbad Environmental Guidelines The primary environmental guidance document, for projects or actions occurring within the City, is the City’s Habitat Management Plan (HMP). The HMP was developed by the City, in cooperation with federal and state wildlife agencies, to preserve and protect sensitive biological resources within the City while allowing for continued economic development. The overall goal of the HMP is to contribute to regional biodiversity and the viability of rare, unique or sensitive biological resources throughout the City of Carlsbad and the larger region while allowing public and private development to occur consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan and Growth Management Plan. The HMP constitutes the City’s subarea plan within the Multiple Habitat Conservation Program Subregional Plan (MHCP) for north coastal San Diego County and meets the goals of California’s Natural Community Conservation Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 21 Planning program (NCCP). The City’s Guidelines for Biological Studies, were developed to support the HMP and provide guidance related to compliance with HMP regulations. A separate but related environmental guidance document is the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan. To meet the requirements of the California Coastal Act, the City has provided the LCP Land Use Plan, adopted by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) in 1980 (and amended in 1984 and 1985). The purpose of the LCP Land Use Plan is to ensure that development within the City’s Coastal Zone protects and enhances coastal resources and is consist with the California Coastal Act. The City’s LCP Land Use Plan provides policies that guide the City in protection of natural coastal resources found in the City’s Coastal Zone, which include environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHAs) and marine and coastal water quality. ESHAs as defined by the City’s HMP and Land Use Plan may differ from HMP described sensitive habitats and Habitat Groups, however, are covered and mitigated for under both plans. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 22 4.0 RESULTS 4.1 Environmental Setting The Project site is located at the western terminus of the EWPCF flood control channel; immediately west of the NCTD railroad tracks. The Project site encompasses an area of approximately 7,000 square- feet, above which an existing grouted rip rap bed lies. Areas surrounding the Project to the north and south and east include mixed-use residential, industrial and retail land uses. Existing land use to the west of the Project are naturally occurring habitat, including riparian scrub, freshwater marsh, brackish tidal flats, existing overhead transmission line, roadways and open coastline. The HMP describes Facilities Management Zones (LFMZs), useful for conservation planning purposes, the Project site lies within LFMZ #3. According to figures within the HMP, the Project site is not located on private-, City-, or State of California-owned conservation lands, nor existing hardline conservation area (HCA). One nearby HCA exists along Encinas Creek, east of Interstate I-5 and south of Palomar Airport Road; however, this HCA terminates east of the EWPCF, approximately 1,400 feet to the east of the Project Area (Figure 1). The Project Area does not fall within any HMP Core Focus Planning Area (FPA), such as core habitat, wildlife linkages, or special resource areas. The Project Area is considered to be within the Melo II section of the Coastal Zone as determined by the CCC and the LCP Land Use Plan (City of Carlsbad 2014) (Figure 1). 4.2 Soils and Hydrologic Features One distinct soil series mapped by USDA (1973) occurs within the Project Area: Tidal flats (Tf) (Figure 5). Tidal flats soil series is described as hydric according to USDA. Total acreage of this soil series within the Survey Area is 1.744. Elevations within the Project Area generally drain towards the center of the Project Area, where the site is bisected by the concrete energy dissipation apron of the EWPCF flood control channel. The EWPCF flood control channel was historically a natural, non-channelized portion of Encinas Creek. Although it is now channelized, the EWPCF flood control channel remains a functioning part of the Encinas Creek, connecting the upstream Encinas Creek watershed (Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, hydrologic area 904.40) with its historical reach west of the EWPCF facility (Figure 6). Surface and storm water from the upstream Encinas Creek watershed, as well as outflow from the EWPCF, flow in a generally east-west direction through the concrete lined flood control channel and discharging into the Project Area, west of the NCTD railroad tracks. At the easternmost boundary of the Project Area, channel flow enters a triple box culvert. At the culvert’s exit, hydraulic energy is dissipated over a concrete apron and grouted rip rap bed. Above the western extent of the rip rap bed lies a relatively level and vegetated shelf. Upon meeting this shelf, surface and storm water continue to flow in a westerly direction through the Project Area, meeting the natural stream channel of Encinas Creek before proceeding under the Pacific Coast Highway and onto the Pacific coastline, ultimately terminating in the Pacific Ocean. Based on the presence of potentially jurisdictional wetland and non-wetland areas, a formal jurisdictional delineation effort was performed. The results of this effort are included in the JDR (Blackhawk 2020) as Appendix D. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 23 4.3 Vegetation Communities/Land Use Cover Types A total of five vegetation communities/land use cover types were described and mapped within the Survey Area. Within the Project and Survey Area, two vegetation communities, Coastal Freshwater Marsh, and Southern Willow Scrub, are considered wetland and/or riparian habitats by the City and wetlands by the CCC within the Coastal Zone. Vegetation communities were described according to Holland (1986) and Oberbauer (2008); corresponding classification codes are provided in parentheses. The vegetation communities/land use cover types, associated acreages and MSCP Tier levels are as follows: • Coastal Freshwater Marsh (52410) (0.010 acre) (Group A) • Disturbed Coastal Scrub (32000) (0.130 acres) (Group D) • Non-vegetated Channel (64200) (0.082 acres) (Group A) • Southern Willow Scrub (63320) (1.144 acres) (Group A) • Urban/Developed (12000) (0.0378 acres) (Group F) Temporary and permanent Project-related impacts to sensitive wetland and/or riparian habitats within the Coastal Zone would require compensatory mitigation at HMP-stipulated ratios based on the acreage of the impacts; impacts to other habitats and HMP Habitat Groups, although not considered sensitive, may support special-status species and therefore also require compensatory mitigation at HMP-stipulated rations or a mitigation fee based on acreage. Each vegetation community/land use cover type is described in the following sub-sections. 4.3.1 Coastal Freshwater Marsh (Holland Code 52410) Coastal Freshwater Marsh is a vegetation community typically described as permanently flooded by fresh water rather than brackish, alkaline or variable (Oberbauer 2008). These areas often form completely closed canopies dominated by perennial, emergent monocots up to 4-5 meters tall (Oberbauer 2008). This plant community is occasionally found along coasts near river mouths. (Oberbauer 2008). Coastal Freshwater Marsh is considered a sensitive wetland habitat by the City and falls under Habitat Group A (freshwater marsh). This community is restricted to approximately 0.010 acre located, in the far northwest corner of the Survey Area. This community is very densely vegetated, lacking species diversity, and dominated by nearly monotypic southern cattail (Typha domingensis). 4.3.2 Disturbed Coastal Scrub (Holland Code 32000) Within the Survey Area, this vegetation community does not fit the descriptions of more specific Coastal Scrub community forms as described by Holland (1986) and Oberbauer (2008). Additionally, this vegetation community exhibits some signs of physical modification by human activity, including areas that appear to have been previously graded/filled, presence of trash or debris, and non-native vegetation, and is therefore best described as Disturbed Coastal Scrub. This plant community is typically described as a soft chapparal community, as stems are “softer” when compared to those found on typical chaparral species. This vegetation community is typically found in shallow dry soils and lower elevations ranging from sea level to 1,800 feet. Dominant species of the Coastal Scrub vegetation community include coyote bush (Baccharis pilularis) and California buckwheat (Eriogonum Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 24 fasciculatum). This plant community is occasionally found along coasts near river mouths. (Oberbauer 2008). Disturbed Coastal Scrub is not considered a sensitive wetland/riparian or upland habitat by the City and falls under Habitat Group D (coastal California gnatcatcher-unoccupied coastal scrub). Within the Survey Area, this community is restricted to approximately 0.130 acre located at the northeastern boundary of the Survey Area, east of the NCTD train tracks. The vegetation community is primarily dominated by the following native species: quailbush (Atriplex lentiformis), California buckwheat, and coyote bush, with occasional coastal goldenbush (Isocoma menziesii), and the following non-native species: short podded mustard (Hirschfeldia incana) and crown daisy (Glebionis coronaria). Vegetation density within this habitat type was variable, ranging from 25-percent to near 100-percent total ground cover in undisturbed areas. Some areas of disturbance included sparse paths through blocks of vegetation, animal- or man-made, that were nearly devoid of herbaceous species. Additionally, some trash and debris were present throughout this community. 4.3.3 Non-vegetated Channel (Holland Code 64200) Within the Project Area, this vegetation community extends from the concrete energy dissipation apron (outflow end of the EWPCF flood control channel) eastward over the non-vegetated portions of the grouted rip rap bed. Variable water lines typically inhibit vegetation growth on a relatively permanent basis; although some vegetation may exist, it is usually less than 10% cover (Oberbauer 2008). Such areas, despite the presence of artificial structures or prevalence of non-native species, may be considered sensitive if determined to be USACE, CDFW, RWQCB, CCC or City wetlands. Non- vegetated Channel is considered a habitat associated with wetlands by the City and falls under Habitat Group Type A (flood channel). A total of 0.082 acre of Non-vegetated Channel occurs within the Survey Area. This community is largely un-vegetated and inundated by water; however, where vegetation is present (along the outer fringes), the dominant species include California bulrush (Schoenoplectus acutus) and rough cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium). Additionally, anthropogenic disturbances, such as trash and debris, were present throughout this vegetation community. 4.3.4 Southern Willow Scrub (Holland Code 63320) Southern willow scrub is a dense riparian community dominated by broad-leaved species such as willows (Salix spp.), often with scattered cottonwoods (Populus spp.) and sycamores (Platanus spp.). This vegetation community is typically found near stream channels where alluvium deposits during flood flows. Repeated flooding of these areas is also typical of this community, which prevents development of cottonwood and sycamore trees from maturing to a forest community. The high density of the cover provided by trees and shrubs typically prevents substantial understory development within this vegetation community. Southern Willow Scrub is considered a sensitive riparian habitat by the City and falls under Habitat Group A (riparian scrub). A majority of the Project and Survey Area is represented by this community, primarily located west of the NCTD train tracks. A total of 1.144 acres of Southern Willow Scrub occurs within the Project and Survey Areas. Overall riparian canopy within this habitat was dense and dominated by arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis) and mule fat (Baccharis salicifolia) with occasional large blue gum trees (Eucalyptus globulus) and stands of pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana). Where understory was present, the Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 25 vegetative cover ranged from light to moderate and was largely dominated by salt marsh fleabane (Pluchea odorata), rough cocklebur, horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) and bristly ox-tongue (Helminthotheca echioides). Trash and debris were also scattered throughout this vegetation community. 4.3.5 Urban/Developed (Holland Code 12000) Urban/Developed areas within the Survey and Project Area are nearly or entirely devoid of native vegetation and show significant evidence of intentional, human-caused conversion of previously existing natural habitats into development. Developed land is characterized by permanent or semi- permanent structures, pavement or hardscape, and landscaped areas that often require irrigation. This vegetation community typically includes unvegetated or landscaped areas with a variety of ornamental (usually non-native) plants (Oberbauer 2008). Urban/Developed land use type is not considered a sensitive wetland/riparian or upland habitat by the City and falls under Habitat Group F (disturbed lands). Within the Survey and Project Area, this community totals 0.378 acres of overall coverage. Developed areas within the Survey and Project Area primarily include the NCTD train tracks and its graded and/or gravel shoulders.

The habitat requirements, listing statuses and PFOs for each of these species are described below in Table 1. 4.4.1 Special-Status Plant Species The CNDDB documents 33 special-status plant species within a five-mile radius of the Survey Area; however, none of these species were documented within the Project Area. One plant species was determined to have a low potential to occur within the Survey Area: estuary seablite. The remaining 32 plant species are presumed absent and are not discussed further in this report. Each of these species, along with their listing statuses, relative abundances, habitat associations and general locations within the Survey Area, are described in Table 3, below. No HMP-covered, narrow endemic, federal or state-listed, or CNPS-listed plant species were observed within the Survey Area. 4.4.2 Special-Status Wildlife Species The CNDDB documents 30 special-status wildlife species within a five-mile radius of the Survey Area; one of these species were previously documented within the Project Area: least Bell’s Vireo. Among invertebrate species, the total includes one insect, and three crustacean species. Among vertebrate species, the total includes one fish, five reptilian, 13 avian and seven mammalian species. A total of 11 wildlife species were determined to have a low potential to occur within the Survey Area. A total of seven wildlife species were determined to have a moderate potential to occur within the Survey Area. A total of two wildlife species were determined to have a high potential to occur within the Survey Area: yellow warbler and least Bell’s vireo. The remaining 10 wildlife species are presumed absent and are not discussed further in this report. Each of these species, along with their listing statuses, relative abundances, habitat associations and general locations within the Survey Area, are described in Table 3, below. No HMP-covered, narrow endemic, federal or state-listed wildlife species were observed within the Survey Area. 4.5 Special-Status Vegetation Communities A total of six special-status vegetation community (natural communities) occurrences were found within a five-mile radius of the Project Area through the CNDDB review (Figure 3). These include the following: Vegetation Communities • Southern Coastal Salt Marsh • Southern Maritime Chaparral • Southern Riparian Forest • Southern Riparian Scrub • Southern Sycamore Alder Riparian Woodland • Southern Willow Scrub Encino Wastewater Aut/10rity Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Mo,ntenonce ProieCi - Biological Resource Assesrnent City of Carlsbad, San Diego County. CA Of the six special-status vegetation communities documented to occur within a five-mile radius of the Project, only one. was found within the Project and Survey Area, Southern Willow Scrub. A complete description of this vegetation community is provided above in Section 4.3.4. The CDFW ranks this vegetation community as S2, imperiled, in the State because of its rarity due to a very restricted range, very few populations, steep declines and/or other factors making it very vulnerable to extirpation from the State. Additionally, the City's HMP, and the City's Land Use Plan identify Southern Willow Scrub as a sensitive riparian habitat within the Coastal Zone. In addition to the six special-status vegetation communities identified by the literature review, one additional vegetation community, Coastal Freshwater Marsh, is identified as sensitive wetland habitat within the Coastal Zone and covered under the City's HMP and Land Use Plan. This vegetation community was identified outside the Project Area but within the margins of the Survey Area. A complete description of this vegetation community is also provided above in section 4.3. l. Table 1.

CA 4.6 Jurisdictional Waters The literature review and b iological resource survey identified waters which likely fall under the jurisdiction of USACE, RWQCB, CCC and CDFW. A jurisdictional delineation was performed to determine if specific areas of the Project site meet either l) criteria to be considered a relatively permanent water (RPW) or tributary of a traditional navigable waters (TNW) meeting significant nexus standards to fall under the jurisdiction of the USACE, RWQCB and/or C0FW as a non-wetland water and streambed, 2) meet the three-parameter criteria of a wetland to fall under the jurisdiction of the USACE, RWQCB and/or CDFW as wetland areas, or 3) exhibit habitat characteristics of wetland or riparian area which meet CCC and/or City criteria for jurisdictional wetland areas or CDFW criteria for riparian habitat adjacent to streambed areas. The jurisdictional delineation identified potentially jurisdictional areas occurring within the Project and Survey Area that are summarized in Table 2, below. Complete details are discussed in the JDR (Blackhawk 2020), included as Appendix D to this report.

Direct impacts include those involving the loss, alteration, and/or disturbance of plant communities, and consequently, the flora and fauna of the affected area. Direct impacts also include the destruction of individual plants and/or wildlife. Direct impacts may adversely affect regional populations of certain species, or result in isolated populations, reducing genetic diversity and range- wide population stability; conversely, direct impacts may also have intended or unintended positive effects in some cases. Indirect impacts include a variety of effects related to areas or habitats that are not directly removed by Project development, such as loss of foraging habitat, increased ambient noise, artificial light, introduced predators (e.g., domestic cats, dogs and other non-native animals), competition with exotic plants and animals, increased human presence and associated disturbances (e.g., trash, green waste, physical intrusion). Indirect impacts may include long and/or short-term daily activities associated with Project build-out, such as increased traffic, permanent barriers or fences, buildings, exotic seed-bearing ornamental plantings, irrigated landscapes and human presence, among others. These types of impacts are known as edge effects and over time, may result in some encroachment on native plants by exotic plants, altered behavioral wildlife patterns, reduced wildlife diversity, and decreased wildlife abundance in habitats adjacent to a given project site. However, as is the case with direct impacts, indirect impacts may also have intended or unintended positive effects for certain species. The potential for significant adverse effects, either directly or indirectly through habitat modification or conversion, on any special-status vegetation community, plant species or wildlife species, or that could occur as a result of the development of this Project is discussed within this section. 5.1 Project Impacts This section provides definitions and discussion of the various Project-related impacts that are anticipated to occur. 5.1.1 Habitat Impacts Construction of the proposed Project will result in permanent habitat loss and short-term disturbances associated with annual maintenance of the EWA flood control channel rip rap bed within the Project Area. Maintenance activities, including removal of debris, sediment and vegetation within the Project Area, account for the only permanent impacts of the Project. These include all areas proposed for ground disturbance, grubbing, clearing and dredging. The Project would include permanent impacts associated with the existing footprint of the flood control channel rip rap area. This area is shown in Figure 4 as “Permanent Impact Area”. Temporary impact areas will include a dewatering/settling area (with sandbag barrier), temporary sediment stockpiling and spreading areas outside the Survey Area, but within the EWPCF and South Parcel, discussed in the 2017 BRA. For the purpose of impacts analysis, use of temporary impact areas described above are Encino Wastewater Aut/10rity Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Ma,ntenonce ProJeo- Biolog1ca/ Resource Assesrnent City of Carlsbad, San Diego County. CA not considered new impacts, as they are currently authorized under RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9-2017-0044; these areas are identified in Figures 2 and 3 of the 2017 BRA. The estimated acreages of proposed impacts resulting from maintenance as described above are summarized in Tobie 3. Table 3.

These activities have the potential to occur for any number of reasons, Including lack or absence of Project design staking, inadequate or unmaintained demarcation of proposed impacts areas, misinterpretation of Project designs, and human error in operating equipment. Dependent on construction methodology and sequencing, impacts resulting from wildlife entrapment may occur at any Project site where excavations remain open and un-sealed for extended periods. Wildlife injuries and mortalities have the potential to occur as a result of any of the previously discussed reasons but are also an inherent risk when working in proximity to undisturbed areas during activities such as initial vegetation clearing and ground disturbance. Short-term (Temporary) Construction-Related Indirect Impacts Potential indirect impacts as a result of construction of the proposed Project include non-storm water discharges resulting from spills or leaks, attracting predators, restriction or impounding of flow within Encinas Creek, storm water discharges, dust, noise and lighting. 49 Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 50 5.1.3 Operations and Maintenance-Related Impacts The proposed Project would include the initial restoration (removal of debris, soil, vegetation) and annual maintenance of the grouted rip rap bed at the western terminus of the EWPCF flood control channel. Once restored, the Project would include regular inspections and maintenance according to existing procedures and would generally consist of crew access to the Project by vehicle or on foot, using existing roads and infrastructure. Long-term (Permanent) Direct Impacts Direct impacts associated with the long-term development of the Project would be restricted to the permanent loss of habitat as a result of annual Project maintenance (clearance of debris, soil, vegetation). The Project proposes off-site mitigation to offset all proposed habitat loss; therefore, long- term direct impacts are not anticipated. Long-term (Permanent) Indirect Impacts Indirect impacts associated with the long-term development of the Project may include similar impacts to those resulting from initial restoration (removal of debris, soil, vegetation) of the grouted rip rap bed, such as non-storm water discharges resulting from spills or leaks, dust, noise and lighting, generated by maintenance activities. Furthermore, the site is host to invasive species such as pampas grass which, if transported off site, may result in long-term conversion or degradation of additional habitat areas. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 51 5.2 CEQA Thresholds of Significance This section is divided into sub-sections that include direct and indirect impacts analysis for each threshold under CEQA. 5.2.1 CEQA Threshold Biology - 1 Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the CDFW or USFWS? The proposed Project has the potential for numerous direct and indirect impacts to special-status species, habitats and jurisdictional wetlands. The Project area was once a fully developed facility (grouted rip rap bed) devoid of vegetation. However, lack of regular maintenance has allowed for expansion of the surrounding native habitat into the Project Area. As such, the potential to support special-status species is considered moderate to high for nine special-status plant and animal species. The potential to support all other potentially occurring special-status species is considered low or presumed absent from the Project. Focused surveys for special-status species were not performed, and potential for impacts is assumed based on extent and availability of habitat. These species may be subject to both temporary and permanent, direct and indirect impacts described in Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2, and 5.1.3 above. Of the 63 special-status wildlife and plant species evaluated, two wildlife species are expected to have a high potential to occur, and seven wildlife species are expected to have a moderate potential to occur. Of these nine wildlife species, the following five species are functionally covered under the HMP: • least Bell’s vireo (high PFO; FE) • white-tailed kite (moderate PFO; CDFW-FP) • yellow-breasted chat (moderate PFO; SSC) • white-faced ibis (moderate PFO; CDFW-WL) • light-footed Ridgeway’s rail (moderate PFO; FE, SE, CDFW-FP) Of the nine wildlife species , the following four are not functionally covered under the HMP: • yellow warbler (high PFO; SSC) • southern legless lizard (moderate PFO; SSC) • California glossy snake (moderate PFO; SSC) • western-yellow bat (moderate PFO; SSC) Absent mitigation, Project-related impacts to these species, not functionally covered under the HMP, is potentially significant. However, due to moderate potential for occurrence for all species discussed, with the implementation of Avoidance and Minimization Measures (MM) proposed in Section 6 below and HMP mitigation which will contribute to the ongoing reserve assembly of the region, impacts are likely to be less than significant. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 52 Biology Impact 1 – Temporary Indirect Impacts to Special-Status Species and Migratory Birds Temporary indirect impacts to special-status species may occur as a result of increased noise, lighting, construction dust and loss of foraging habitat. Absent mitigation, Project-related impacts to these species is potentially significant. However, with the implementation of MM BIO-1, MM BIO-2, MM BIO- 5, MM BIO-6, MM BIO-8, MM BIO-9, MM BIO-10 and MM BIO-11, impacts are likely to be less than significant. Additional temporary indirect impacts to special-status species may result in sediment or other non- stormwater discharges to narrow wetland areas downstream of the Encinas Creek watershed. These wetlands have the potential to support special-status species. Absent mitigation, Project-related impacts to special-status species is potentially significant. However, with the implementation of MM BIO-3, MM BIO-7 and MM BIO-12, impacts are likely to be less than significant. Biology Impact 2 – Temporary Direct Impacts to Special-Status Species and Migratory Birds Direct impacts to special-status species may occur as a result of direct impacts to individuals, including nests or roosts, which may occur during vegetation, soil and debris removal and dredging activities. Absent mitigation, Project-related impacts to special-status species and migratory birds is potentially significant. However, with implementation of MM BIO-1, MM BIO-2, MM BIO-5, MM BIO-6, MM BIO-8, MM BIO-9, MM BIO-10 and MM BIO-11, impacts are likely to be less than significant. Biology Impact 3 – Long-Term Indirect Impacts to Special-Status Species and Habitats Long-term indirect impacts to special-status species and habitats may also occur, including non-storm water discharges as a result of spills leaks, noise, light and dust created from annual maintenance activities. The Project shall implement all MMs described in Section 6, to reduce the potential for adverse impacts to special-status species and surrounding habitats. As a result of the incorporation of construction BMPs and MMs described in Section 6, during operations and maintenance activities, impacts are likely to be less than significant. The site supports the following invasive/exotic plant species as designated by the City’s HMP and/or the California Invasive Plant Council: pampas grass, stinkwort (Dittrichia graveolens), bristly ox-tongue (Helminthotheca echioides), Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), castor bean (Ricinus communis) and blue gum. Off-site transport of these species either by equipment or seed transport from within Encinas Creek to other areas may result in indirect impacts that contribute to habitat degradation. Absent mitigation, introduction of an invasive exotic plant species to a natural community is potentially significant. However, with the implementation of Applicant Proposed Mitigation Measure MM BIO-4, impacts are likely to be less than significant. 5.2.2 CEQA Threshold Biology - 2 Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the CDFW or USFWS? Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 53 As described in Section 4.6 above and in Appendix D, the Project includes impacts to USACE, RWQCB, CCC/City, CDFW and City-jurisdictional wetlands and riparian areas that are considered wetlands within the Coastal Zone. Biology Impact 4 - Indirect Impacts to Riparian and Wetland Communities The Project has the potential for both temporary and long-term indirect impacts to downstream riparian and wetland communities through sediment and non-stormwater discharges, as well as introduction of invasive species to natural communities. Absent mitigation, Project-related impacts to these sensitive natural communities is potentially significant. However, with the implementation MM BIO-1, MM BIO-3, MM BIO-4, MM BIO-5, MM BIO-6, MM BIO-7 and MM BIO-9, impacts are likely to be less than significant. Biology Impact 5 – Direct Impacts to Riparian and Wetland Communities The proposed Project includes direct impacts to areas meeting City criteria as wetlands within the Coastal Zone. These areas are covered under the City’s HMP and Land Use Plan and thus require mitigation; the City recommends mitigation according to Tables 3, 4 and 6 of the City’s Guidelines for Biological Studies (City of Carlsbad, 2008) for an overall no net loss of wetlands. However, mitigation of proposed permanent impacts to City wetlands must also be performed at mitigation ratios as determined by state and federal agencies. Therefore, the Applicant will coordinate with local, state and federal agencies for appropriate mitigation for impacts to wetland and riparian habitats. Absent proposed mitigation, Project-related impacts to this sensitive natural community is potentially significant. However, with the implementation of MM BIO-1, MM BIO-3, MM BIO-4, MM BIO-5, MM BIO- 6, MM BIO-7 and MM BIO-9, as well as any agency-required mitigation, impacts are likely to be less than significant. 5.2.3 CEQA Threshold Biology - 3 Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? The biological assessment and JDR identified jurisdictional areas likely subject to regulation by USACE, RWQCB and/or CDFW. Potential impacts to these areas include those discussed in Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2, and 6.1.3 above. Direct impacts are summarized in Table 4. Furthermore, potentially significant permanent indirect impacts which may result from construction include degradation of waterways through the accidental discharge or oil, grease and chemicals. Absent mitigation, impacts to jurisdictional waters are potentially significant. However, with the implementation of MM BIO-1, MM BIO-3, MM BIO-4, MM BIO-5, MM BIO-6, MM BIO-7, MM BIO-9 and MM BIO-12, impacts are likely to be less than significant.

The proposed Project has the potential for short-term and direct and indirect impacts on wildlife movement which may be deterred from the Project due to increased noise, human activity and disturbances to habitat. Initial restoration (removal of debris, soil, vegetation} of the grouted rip rap bed will occur over a longer duration than subsequently proposed annual maintenance. Long-term direct and indirect impacts to wildlife movement would likely be similar to temporary impacts, with the exception of the duration of maintenance activities. Initial restoration and subsequent maintenance of the grouted rip rap bed would result in a permanent loss of 0.104 acres of native habitat. However, in relation to the surrounding habitat, approximately 7.5 acres, the proposed Project would impact a small area of native wildlife corridor. Additionally, with the implementation of proposed C1ty, state and federal mitigation for no net loss of wetland habitat, overall wildlife corridors and habitat are protected and enhanced. These short-and long-term impacts to wildlife movement are likely considered less than significant. 54 Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 55 5.2.5 CEQA Threshold Biology - 5 Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? The Project, as proposed, does not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, and no significant impacts are anticipated. However, it is important to note that the City’s HMP and Land Use Plan, in accordance with the California Coastal Commission, identify specific conservation standards that apply for development within the Coastal Zone. One such standard states that impacts to wetlands are not allowed except where stated in California Public Resources Code Section 30233. The proposed Project is in accordance with permissions stated within California Public Resources Code Section 30233 (California Public Resources Code, 2016); as there is “no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative” for restoring flow capacity at the outflow end of the EWPCF flood control channel. Furthermore, the EWA is a public agency providing secondary wastewater treatment services to approximately 380,000 residents in northern San Diego County, therefore meeting the limitations for allowable impacts to wetlands related to “incidental public service purposes”. 5.2.6 CEQA Threshold Biology - 6 Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved local, regional, or state HCP? The Project, as proposed, has been designed in accordance with the City’s HMP for Natural Communities in the City of Carlsbad (2004) and its supporting documents/programs: the City’s Guidelines for Biological Studies (City of Carlsbad 2008) and the City’s LCP Land Use Plan (City of Carlsbad 2014). The City’s HMP constitutes the City’s subarea plan within the MHCP for north coastal San Diego County and meets the goals of California’s NCCP. 6.0 MITIGATION PROGRAM 6.1 Avoidance and Minimization Measures for Construction Impacts MM BIO-1: Delineation of Project Impact Areas The boundaries of proposed Project impact areas will be clearly delineated with orange fencing (or similar material), which will be maintained until the completion of construction (maintenance) activities, to prevent the unauthorized impact of City Wetlands and/or sensitive habitats identified in this report or authorized by subsequent agency permits. All employees shall be instructed that their activities, vehicles, equipment and construction materials are restricted to the proposed Project footprint, designated staging areas and routes of travel. MM BIO-2: Conduct Pre-Construction Nesting Bird Surveys To the extent feasible, conduct vegetation removal and grubbing activities outside of the bird breeding season (February 15 – September 15). The USFWS will be notified at least seven days before clearing and grubbing begins. During this activity, a qualified biologist will walk the area ahead of Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 56 construction equipment to flush birds away from impact areas. The biologist will immediately report to USFWS the number and location of any federally listed birds disturbed by clearing and grubbing. No gnatcatchers will be injured or killed. Other construction activities will also be avoided during the breeding season if feasible. If this cannot be avoided, the following measures will be taken: • If California gnatcatchers have the potential to occur onsite, a qualified biologist will conduct a focused species gnatcatcher survey in appropriate habitat within and surrounding the project area. The surveys will consist of three visits, one week apart; the last of these will be conducted no more than three days prior to construction. • Surveys will also be conducted by a qualified biologist in appropriate habitat for nesting raptors and migratory birds (including, but not limited to the least Bell’s vireo and light-footed Ridgway’s rail) and within an additional 500-ft survey buffer within three days of construction. • The USFWS will be notified immediately of any federally listed species that are located during pre- construction surveys. • If nests of listed birds, migratory birds, raptors, or other sensitive species are located, they will be fenced with a protective buffer of at least 500 feet from active nests of listed species, and 300 feet from other sensitive bird species. All construction activity will be prohibited within this area. MM BIO-3: Prepare and Implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Prior to initial grading or ground disturbance, the Applicant will prepare and implement a SWPPP that will identify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent to stormwater and non-stormwater discharges which may have an adverse effect on downstream water quality. BMPs should address sediment and hazardous materials control, dewatering or diversion structures, fueling and equipment management practices, and other factors deemed necessary by reviewing agencies. Erosion control measures shall be monitored on a regularly scheduled basis, particularly during times of heavy rainfall. Corrective measures will be implemented in the event erosion control strategies are inadequate. Sediment/erosion control measures will be continued at the project site until such time as the grouted rip rap bed has been restored. MM BIO-4: Develop a Project Weed Management Plan Prior to Project development, the Applicant will develop a Project Weed Management Plan for approval by the City. The plan will identify areas of proposed impacts where invasive or noxious weeds are present and which activities would be subject to additional mitigation actions to prevent the spread of weeds from the site. The plan will detail best practices for the removal, treatment, and disposal of invasive weeds from the Project site during construction. MM BIO-5: Conduct Environmental Awareness Training for all Project Personnel A qualified biologist shall conduct a training session for all Project personnel prior to proposed activities. At a minimum, the training shall include overall environmental awareness related to the Project and Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 57 include: a description of the special-status species and its habitats, the general provisions of the Endangered Species Act (Act) and the HMP, the need to adhere to the provisions of the Act and the HMP, the penalties associated with violating the provisions of the Act, the general measures that are being implemented to conserve the special-status species of concern as they relate to the Project, access routes, and Project site boundaries within which the Project activities must be accomplished. MM BIO-6: Conduct Biological Construction Monitoring and Reporting The qualified Project biologist shall review Project plans (e.g., all access routes and staging areas), and monitor construction activities, throughout the duration of the Project to ensure that all practicable measures are being employed to avoid incidental disturbance of habitat and any special-status species of concern outside the Project footprint. The Project biologist shall be present during ground- disturbing and vegetation-removal activities to avoid incidental disturbances to special-status species of concern, including bats and reptiles that may be roosting or burrowed (respectively) within or adjacent to the Project footprint. Construction monitoring reports shall be completed and provided to the City summarizing how the Project is in compliance with applicable conditions. The Project biologist should be empowered to halt work activity if necessary and to confer with City staff to ensure the proper implementation of species and habitat protection measures. Any habitat destroyed that is not in the identified Project footprint shall be disclosed immediately to the City, USFWS and CDFW and shall be compensated at a minimum ratio of 5:1. If dead or injured listed species are located, initial notification must be made within three working days, in writing, to the USFWS Division of Law Enforcement in Torrance, California and by telephone and in writing to the applicable jurisdiction, Carlsbad Field Office of the FWS and CDFW. MM BIO-7: Avoid Construction During the Rainy/Wet Season Construction adjacent to drainages should occur during periods of minimum flow (i.e., summer through the first significant rain of fall) to avoid excessive sedimentation and erosion and to avoid impacts to special-status species. MM BIO-8: Avoid Attraction of Predators and Conduct Daily Housekeeping To avoid attracting predators of the target species of concern, the Project site shall be kept as clean of debris as possible. All food related trash items shall be enclosed in sealed containers and regularly removed from the site(s) on a daily basis. Pets of Project personnel shall not be allowed on-site where they may come into contact with any listed species. MM BIO-9: Control Fugitive Dust Fugitive dust will be avoided and minimized through watering and other appropriate measures. MM BIO-10: Avoid or Minimize Noise Impacts Noise impacts are a concern around areas supporting breeding bird and bat habitat. To avoid or minimize noise impacts, limit construction activities during the breeding season (generally between February 15 and September 15) to those that will not produce significant noise impacts (i.e., noise levels greater than 60 dB Leq [decibels, equivalent sound level] at the edge of the habitat of concern). Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 58 Preconstruction bird surveys at potential impact areas will be conducted for construction activities during the breeding season. MM BIO-11: Avoid Night Construction Lighting Adjacent to Native Habitats Lighting in or adjacent to native habitats will not be used, except where essential for roadway, facility use and safety. If nighttime construction lights are necessary, all lighting adjacent to natural habitat will be shielded and/or directed away from habitat. MM BIO-12: Obtain Permit Authorization for Impacts Jurisdictional Waters Prior to impacting areas identified as jurisdictional waters, or potentially under the jurisdiction of the USACE, RWQCB and CDFW, the Applicant will prepare the following documents and/or obtain the following permit authorizations as identified in the JDR (Appendix D): o Obtain Clean Water Act Section 404 permit issued by USACE for all proposed impacts to Waters of the U.S. o Obtain Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act Section 401 permit issued by RWQCB for all proposed impacts to Waters of the State o Obtain Lake and Streambed Alteration Section 1602 permit issued by CDFW for all proposed impacts to Streambeds Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project – Biological Resource Assesment City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 59 7.0 CONCLUSION Nine special-status wildlife species have been determined to have a moderate to high potential to exist within or adjacent to the Project Area, including least Bell’s Vireo. Additionally, one sensitive natural community was identified within and adjacent to the Project Area. Lastly, jurisdictional waters were identified within and adjacent to the Project Area as described in Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project Jurisdictional Delineation Report (JDR) (Blackhawk Environmental 2020), Appendix D. Absent mitigation, the proposed Project impacts would likely have an adverse effect on special-status plant and wildlife species, sensitive natural communities, and jurisdictional waters. However, the anticipated direct impacts resulting from Project construction are expected to be less than significant when avoidance and minimization measures are employed and mitigation is implemented. To the maximum extent practicable, avoidance of impacts to City Wetlands and/or sensitive habitats, special-status species, and nesting birds/raptors will be achieved per the MBTA, FESA, CESA and HMP. Indirect effects to biological resources during and following construction are anticipated to be less than significant due to proposed mitigation. Significant impacts to wildlife corridors are not anticipated as a result of the proposed Project. Additionally, cumulative impacts are anticipated to be less than significant due to the limited extent of disturbance and proposed mitigation to address effects upon sensitive natural communities. Proposed mitigation will include implementation of avoidance and minimization measures which include preparation and implementation of the following: a storm water pollution prevention program, weed management plan, and environmental awareness training for all Project personnel. Additionally, proper permit authorizations as identified in the JDR (Appendix D) will be obtained prior to impacts to jurisdictional waters. All areas of the Project are covered by the City of Carlsbad and therefore, the Project will mitigate for all construction-related and operations and maintenance-related impacts to wetland/riparian sensitive habitats that overlap with the construction footprint through offsite mitigation at a mitigation ratio determined by the City, state and federal agencies, for no net loss of sensitive habitats. In addition, biological monitoring is proposed so that natural resources will have increased protection during the construction process. By adhering to the mitigation measures proposed herein, no direct or indirect adverse impacts would occur to the Project site or any threatened, endangered, or otherwise special-status plant or wildlife species. Additionally, no cumulative impacts are expected to occur. Every effort to avoid impacting HMP wetlands, sensitive habitats, special-status species, nesting birds and raptors will be implemented, including compliance with the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code Sections of the 3500 series.

JURISDICTIONAL DELINEATION DATA FORMS Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Blackhawk Environmental, Inc. (Blackhawk Environmental) aquatic resource specialists conducted a jurisdictional delineation in support of the proposed Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project (Project), in the City of Carlsbad (City), San Diego County, California. The Project is located at the terminus of the existing flood control channel associated with the Encina Wastewater Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF), located at 6200 Avenida Encinas in the City of Carlsbad, California (Figure 1). Proposed activities include annual maintenance and clearing activities within an approximately 7,000 square-foot bed of grouted rip rap. EWA conducts annual maintenance (authorized under RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9-2017-0044), that includes all areas of the EWPCF flood control channel from the eastern boundary of the EWPCF extending west to the concrete energy dissipation apron at the outflow end of the channel beneath the North County Transit District (NCTD) railroad tracks. Areas west of the concrete energy dissipation apron, however, are not currently authorized for maintenance. Beyond the concrete energy dissipation apron, lies an approximately 7,000-square foot grouted rip rap bed. The proposed Project would allow EWA to conduct initial restoration (removal of debris, soil, vegetation) as well as annual maintenance of this grouted rip rap bed. Currently, the grouted rip rap bed is impacted by years of sediment accumulation and now supports native riparian scrub habitat. While annual channel maintenance outlined in the 2017 BRA continues to support original flood control channel capacity, a recent 2019 storm event came very close to overflooding the channel and EWPCF. Therefore, the proposed Project is in alignment with EWA’s overall intent to preserve the original design flow conveyance capacity of the flood control channel and is a crucial maintenance component to prevent potential flooding from large storm events that could disrupt the services provided by the EWPCF. A Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) for the Project was performed by Blackhawk Environmental on October 2, 2020. The BRA included the proposed Project Area and an additional 100-foot buffer (Survey Area). Within the Survey Area, the BRA identified the following vegetation communities/land use cover types: Non-vegetated Channel, Southern Willow Scrub, Coastal Freshwater Marsh, Disturbed Coastal Scrub, and Urban/Developed. A jurisdictional assessment was conducted simultaneously to delineate potentially jurisdictional areas within the Project Area footprint. Methods for delineating wetlands followed guidelines set forth by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ([USACE] 1987), including the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Arid Supplement; USACE 2008). All figures depicting the Project Area and delineation results are shown in Attachment A. Representative photographs of the Project and Survey Area are shown in Attachment B. Data forms are included in Attachment C. The jurisdictional assessment identified that the proposed Project includes a portion of Encinas Creek that supports likely jurisdictional streambed, wetland and riparian areas. The portion of Encinas Creek within the Project Area is best characterized as a modified, engineered, concrete, grouted rip rap, relatively permanent stream that flows directly to the Pacific Ocean. No additional natural drainage features were observed. The primary hydrological input for the Project Area is from the EWPCF flood control channel, which was previously evaluated as part of the Encina Wastewater Authority Biological Resources Assessment (Rincon 2017). The channel is a non-natural, engineered, concrete, and partially impounded conveyance that was historically a natural, non-channelized portion of Encinas Creek. The Encina Wastewater Authority Biological Resources Assessment (Rincon 2017) concluded that “The Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 3 flood control channel remains a functioning part of the Encinas Creek as it connects (during flood- stage) the historical reach of Encinas Creek to the east of the EWPCF, with its reach to the west of the EWPCF. Consequently, the flood control channel is considered part of Encinas Creek, even though it is concrete and channelized within the EWPCF. Therefore, activities planned to occur in the project footprint will be occurring in a jurisdictional waterway and subject to the jurisdiction of the USACE, San Diego RWQCB (Regional Water Quality Control Board), and CDFW (California Department of Fish and Wildlife)” (Rincon, 2017). Within the proposed Project, Encinas Creek is best characterized as a Relatively Permanent Water (RPW) with regular flow expected for at least three months of the year under normal conditions. Additional non-seasonal flow likely occurs due to irrigation runoff and other anthropogenic input sources. Ordinary high water mark (OHWM) and bank-to-bank streambed widths of Encinas Creek within the Project Area are defined by the boundary of the Non-vegetated Channel and range from approximately 58 feet to 70 feet in width. The channelized portion of Encinas Creek, outside the Project Area, is primarily concrete lined, including the energy dissipation apron at the outflow end of the flood control channel within the Project Area. Immediately west of the concrete energy dissipation apron is a 7,000 square foot area composed of grouted rip rap. Evidence of short- term high volume and high velocity flow were evident in the form of drift deposits, scouring and water marks. Drift deposits were observed at and above the top of the streambed, indicating that the creek within the Project Area is subject to flooding during rain events. Additional evidence of hydrology included evidence of inundation, saturation, drainage patterns, soil cracks, sediment deposits, water lines and the presence of aquatic invertebrates. In addition to strong hydrological indicators, a variety of wetland and riparian-associated vegetation communities were mapped within the Project Area. These areas included conditions considered “problematic” due to seasonal flooding and vegetation maintenance, but generally indicated a dominance of hydrophytic plant species meeting the vegetation requirements for the USACE/RWQCB Hydrophytic Indicators Dominance Test. The Project Area further presents various “problematic” soil conditions due to annual scouring during flood events and sedimentation resulting in hydric indicators being potentially jumbled in the soil horizon. These soil conditions were evaluated for potential of hydric soil indicators. A total of one Sample Point and associated three test pits were evaluated to determine the presence and extent of hydric soils within the Project Area. If necessary due to “problematic” conditions, hydric soils were assumed present based on review of adjacent areas on site, reference locations, observation of local relief, expected function under normal circumstances, and review of historic aerial photographs. The proposed Project is expected to directly impact a total of 0.104 acre (38 linear feet) of likely USACE Wetland Waters of the U.S., RWQCB Wetland Waters of the State, CDFW riparian habitat, and CCC (California Coastal Commission)/City palustrine wetland habitat. Additionally, the proposed Project is expected to directly impact a total of 0.46 acre (20 linear feet) of likely USACE Non-Wetland Waters of the U.S., RWQCB Non-Wetland Waters of the State, CDFW streambeds, and CCC/City riverine habitat. The Project proposes initial restoration (removal of debris, soil, vegetation) as well as annual maintenance of EWPCF flood control channel rip rap bed, therefore all impacts proposed would be permanent. No indirect impacts to jurisdictional waters are anticipated. As proposed, the Project would require permit authorization from the USACE, RWQCB, CDFW and CCC/City for proposed impacts to Waters of the U.S., Waters of the State, streambeds, and riparian habitats. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 4 1.0 INTRODUCTION Blackhawk Environmental, Inc. (Blackhawk) was contracted by Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) to provide a Jurisdictional Delineation Report (JDR) for the proposed Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project (Project) located within approximately 7,000 square foot (sq. ft.) of area at the western terminus of the existing flood control channel associated with the Encina Wastewater Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF), located at 6200 Avenida Encinas in the City of Carlsbad, California (Figure 1). The Encina Wastewater Authority Biological Resources Assessment Report (Rincon 2017) (2017 BRA) was prepared by Rincon Consultants, Inc. in January of 2017, for a similarly related EWPCF channel maintenance project. The 2017 BRA identified potential project-related impacts and habitat types for proposed annual maintenance to restore as-designed flow capacity to the EWPCF flood control channel. The 2017 BRA however, did not include an evaluation of the 7, 000 sq. ft. rip rap bed located beyond the western terminus of the flood control channel. Therefore, Blackhawk conducted a biological assessment for the newly proposed Project; results of this biological assessment are presented in the Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project Biological Summary Report (Blackhawk 2020) (BRA). Based on the presence of potentially jurisdictional wetland types associated with the proposed Project, a formal jurisdictional assessment was prepared concurrently with the BRA. The formal jurisdictional delineation, conducted on October 2, 2020, focused on documenting existing site conditions, such as soils, topography, hydrology, vegetation and potentially jurisdictional aquatic resources, in the areas proposed for direct Project impacts. The purpose of the jurisdictional delineation was to document waters occurring within the Project Area, that may be considered jurisdictional by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), RWQCB, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and/or the California Coastal Commission (CCC), and to provide necessary background information for avoidance measures by engineering and for analysis by USACE, RWQCB, CDFW and/or CCC if permits are required. 1.1 Project Description EWA operates and maintains a sewer system as well as wastewater treatment facilities and the flood control channel that serve the Encinas Creek Watershed within northern San Diego County. The east/west oriented flood control channel bisects the EWPCF into EWPCF North and EWPCF South and conveys runoff from the upstream Encinas Creek watershed (Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, hydrologic area 904.40) and the EWPCF. The flood control channel terminates at an energy dissipation apron abutting a vegetated area west of the North County Transit District (NCTD) railroad tracks. The flood control channel is approximately 32 feet wide, 10 feet high, and 800 feet long (0.8 acre). Flow enters a triple box culvert downstream of the EWPCF site crossing under Avenida Encinas and the NCTD train tracks. Each culvert measures approximately 8 feet tall by 10 feet wide, spanning a length of 320 feet. At the culvert’s exit, a concrete apron dissipates hydraulic energy and conveys the stormwater downstream into a natural stream channel before proceeding under Pacific Coast Highway into the Pacific Ocean. As stated in the 2017 BRA, services provided by the EWPCF have (in the past) been disrupted, due to heavy storm-induced flow events that overwhelm the flood control channel. Although the flood control channel was designed to handle heavy storm-induced flow events and runoff from Encinas Creek, lack of regular maintenance within the channel reduced the stormwater flow conveyance capacity Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 5 of the channel. Annual maintenance within the channel, from EWA’s eastern property line and westward to the concrete energy dissipation apron at the outflow end of the channel beneath the NCTD railroad tracks, is currently permitted by RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9-2017-0044. Despite annual maintenance of EWA’s 0.8-acre concrete-lined flood control channel, intense storm events in 2019 continued to cause significant flooding and risk overwhelming the channel capacity. This is due to approximately 3-4 feet of build-up (composed of debris, sediment, and vegetation) above the grouted rip rap bed, west of the concrete energy dissipation apron at the outflow end of the channel, that acts like a dam. During large storm events, this “dam” impedes the historical outflow path for stormwater and runoff from Encinas Creek to the Pacific Ocean. Potential flooding of the EWPCF during future storm events remains a serious risk without regular maintenance of the grouted rip rap bed. Flooding events compromise and/or disrupt wastewater treatment services by flooding roadways, process tanks, building and other critical facilities within the EWPCF. Additionally, prolonged disruption of services at the EWPCF would affect the 380,000 residents it serves and could impact water quality entering the Pacific Ocean if partially treated effluent must be discharged. The purpose of the proposed Project is to restore the original (as-designed) flow conveyance capacity, at the outflow end of the EWPCF flood control channel, through scheduled annual maintenance, consisting primarily of the removal of accumulated debris, sediment and vegetation above the grouted rip rap bed. The grouted rip rap bed is located west of the concrete energy dissipation apron and concrete-lined flood control channel, approximately 25 feet west of the NCTD railroad tracks. It is anticipated that approximately 900 cubic yards (CY) of total solids volume will be removed from above the grouted rip rap bed. Annual maintenance within the grouted rip rap bed will be the only permanent impact of this Project. The proposed Project is intended to be performed in conjunction with previously authorized flood control channel maintenance. All maintenance work will be completed within the concrete-lined and rip rap portions of the channel, culvert and energy dissipation structure; no new construction of permanent structures is proposed as part of the proposed Project. Project maintenance is proposed to be completed within a an approximately 14-day period initially and is proposed annually thereafter. Project timing is contingent on approvals and permit authorizations but is anticipated to occur initially during the 2021 dry season. The majority of the Project footprint occurs at the outflow end of the EWPCF flood control channel; however, construction vehicles and equipment will access the main flood control channel from within the EWPCF using an existing vehicle access ramp. Other areas associated with the Project include a temporary dewatering area, a temporary stockpile location and a sediment spreading area within the EWPCF associated with the annual flood control channel maintenance as described in the 2017 BRA and authorized under permit RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9- 2017-0044. Dewatering activities, for settling of sand, silt and organic materials, will be completed within a bermed temporary dewatering area within the flood control channel. Dry weather flows may also be diverted through one of three box culverts using temporary sandbag barriers. During rain events, all equipment will be removed from the channel, and if necessary, work will be suspended. Large debris and trash will be properly disposed off-site, and the remaining sediment (soil/organic material) will be transported from the flood control channel to the EWPCF South Parcel sediment spreading area via EWPCF internal roads and Avenida Encinas. EWA will implement standard construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as straw wattles and silt fences, that will be installed as needed at the South Parcel to prevent sediment from leaving the site and entering the Avenida Encinas public right-of-way. Hydraulic mulch (e.g., bonded fiber matrix) will be applied as needed on top of the Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 6 placed sediment to prevent erosion and promote vegetative covering that will provide permanent erosion protection once established. 2.0 REGULATORY SETTING 2.1 USACE Waters of the U.S. According to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual, wetlands are defined as “those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances, do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.” 2.1.1 Regulatory Definition In accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), USACE regulates the discharge of dredged or fill material into Waters of the United States. On April 21, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE together published the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (Rule) to the Federal Register, defining the scope of waters subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act (CWA). In this final rule, and pursuant to U.S. Supreme Court Cases in United States v. Bayside Bayview Homes (Riverside Bayview), Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook Count v. United States (SWANCC) and Rapanos v. United States (Rapanos), the term “Waters of the United States” is defined by the final Rule: • All traditional navigable waters (TNW) currently used, or used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; • The territorial seas; • All interstate waters including interstate wetlands; • Certain lakes, ponds, and impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the United States under the definition; • Perennial and intermittent tributaries of waters identified above; • Wetlands adjacent to other waters (other than waters that are themselves wetlands) identified above (33 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 328.3[a]). 2.1.2 Wetland Parameters Wetlands are delineated using three parameters: hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology and hydric soils. According to USACE, indicators for all three parameters must normally be present to qualify as a wetland. 2.1.2.1 Hydrophytic Vegetation Hydrophytic vegetation is defined as “the sum total of macrophytic plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content” (USACE 1987). Potential wetland areas were surveyed by walking through the Project Area and making observations of those areas exhibiting characteristics of jurisdictional waters or wetlands. Vegetation units with potential wetland areas were examined, and data for each vegetation stratum (i.e., tree, shrub, herb and vine) were recorded on the datasheet provided in the Arid West Supplement (USACE 2008). The percent absolute cover of each species present was visually estimated and recorded. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 7 The wetland indicator status of each species recorded was determined by using the National Wetland Plant List (Lichvar, et. al. 2016). An obligate (OBL) indicator status refers to plants that are almost always hydrophytic and rarely in uplands. A facultative wet (FACW) indicator status refers to plants that usually are hydrophytic but are occasionally found in non-wetlands. A facultative (FAC) indicator status refers to plants that commonly occur as either a hydrophyte or non-hydrophyte. Facultative upland (FACU) species occasionally are hydrophytic but usually occur in uplands. Upland (UPL) species almost always occur in uplands and are rarely hydrophytic. A not indicated (NI) status refers to species that have insufficient data available to determine an indicator status at this time for the local region. Plant species nomenclature follows that contained in the Jepson Online Interchange (Jepson Flora Project 2018). Dominant species with an indicator status of NI or not listed in the 2016 National Wetland Plant List were evaluated as either wetland or upland indicator species based on local professional knowledge of where the species are most often observed in habitats characteristic of southern California. 2.1.2.2 Hydric Soils A hydric soil is a soil that is saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation (USACE 1987). Hydric soil indicators are formed predominantly by the accumulation or loss of iron, manganese, sulfur or carbon compounds (USACE 2008). The hydric soil criterion is considered fulfilled at a location if soils in the area can be inferred to have a high groundwater table, evidence of prolonged soil saturation exists, or any indicators suggesting a long-term reducing environment in the upper 18 inches of the soil profile are present. Additionally, soils mapped by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as hydric were referenced prior to field verification. A sampling point was selected within a potential wetland area where the apparent boundary between wetland and upland was inferred based on changes in the composition of the vegetation and topography. The soil pit was dug to a depth of at least 10 inches or to a depth necessary to determine soil color, evidence of soil saturation, depth to groundwater, and indicators of a reducing soil environment (e.g., mottling, oxidation, gleying, sulfidic odor). 2.1.2.3 Wetland Hydrology The presence of wetland hydrology indicators confirm that inundation or saturation has occurred on a site, but may not provide information about the timing, duration, or frequency of the event. Hydrology features are generally the most ephemeral of the three wetland parameters (USACE 2008). Hydrologic information for the site was obtained by reviewing USGS topographic maps, historic and current aerial photographs, and by directly observing hydrology indicators in the field. The wetland hydrology criterion is considered fulfilled at a location if, based upon the conclusions inferred from the field observations, an area has a high probability of being periodically inundated or has soils saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the surface soil environment, especially the root zone (USACE 1987). If at least one primary indicator or at least two secondary indicators are found at a sample point, the wetland hydrology criterion is considered fulfilled. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 8 2.1.3 Atypical Situations Because there are situations in which one or more of the wetland parameters has been removed or altered as a result of recent natural events or human activities, the definition of a wetland includes the phrase “under normal circumstances” (USACE 1987). To describe these conditions, USACE uses definitions for atypical situations and problem areas. They are as follows: Atypical situation: refers to areas in which one or more parameters (vegetation, soil, and/or hydrology) have been sufficiently altered by recent human activities or natural events to preclude the presence of wetland indicators of the parameter (USACE 1987). Problem areas: . . . wetland types in which wetland indicators of one or more parameters may be periodically lacking due to normal seasonal or annual variations in environmental conditions that result from causes other than human activities or catastrophic natural events. Representative examples of problem areas include seasonal wetlands, wetlands on drumlins, prairie potholes, and vegetated flats (USACE 1987). Atypical situations and problem areas may lack one or more of the three criteria, yet still may be considered wetlands. Background information on the previous condition of the area, field observations and/or the identification of undisturbed reference sites adjacent to atypical sites may indicate that the site met the wetland criteria prior to disturbance. Additional delineation procedures would be employed if normal circumstances did not occur on a site. 2.1.4 Vernal Pools Vernal pools are considered “problem areas” because vegetation or hydric soils may be lacking due to seasonal filling by rainfall and eventual drying. As described in the Arid Supplement, “the species composition of some wetland plant communities in the Arid West can change in response to seasonal weather patterns and long-term climatic fluctuations. Wetland types that are influenced by these shifts include vernal pools, playa edges, seeps and springs. Lack of hydrophytic vegetation during dry periods should not immediately eliminate a site from further consideration as a wetland.” In addition, since they support seasonally ponded soils, when soil investigations are performed within vernal pools, they may lack hydric soil indicators. The USACE includes problem soils as “seasonally ponded, depressional wetlands (that) occur in basins and valleys throughout the Arid West. Most are perched systems, with water ponding above a restrictive soil layer, such as a hardpan or clay layer, that is at or near the surface (e.g., in Vertisols). Some of these wetlands lack hydric soil indicators due to limited saturation depth, saline conditions or other factors.” 2.2 USACE Non-Wetland Waters of the U.S. The USACE also requires the delineation of non-wetland jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. These waters must have strong hydrology indicators, such as the presence of seasonal flows and an ordinary high watermark (OHWM). An ordinary high watermark is defined as: . . . that line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as [a] clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 9 changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas (33 CFR Part 328.3). Areas delineated as non-wetland jurisdictional waters may lack wetland vegetation or hydric soil characteristics. Hydric soil indicators may be missing because topographic position precludes ponding and subsequent development of hydric soils. Absence of wetland vegetation can result from frequent scouring due to rapid water flow. These types of jurisdictional waters are delineated by the lateral and upstream/downstream extent of the OHWM of the particular drainage or depression. 2.3 CDFW Jurisdictional Waters Under Sections 1600–1607 of the Fish and Game Code, CDFW regulates activities that would divert or obstruct the natural flow or substantially change the bed, channel, or bank of any river, stream, or lake that supports fish or wildlife. CDFW has jurisdiction over riparian habitats (e.g., riparian woodland) associated with watercourses. CDFW jurisdictional waters are delineated by the distances between the outer edges of riparian vegetation or at the tops of the banks of streams or lakes, whichever is wider. Although CDFW does not regulate vernal pools under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, CDFW will assert jurisdiction over isolated riparian features (including vernal pools) if California state threatened and/or endangered species are present via the California Endangered Species Act, or which provide resources directly or indirectly to fish and wildlife of the region. CDFW may also assert jurisdiction over modified or man-made waterways; such jurisdiction is generally based on the value of such features to support riparian or aquatic plant or animal species. For clarification, of features that may be subject to CDFW jurisdiction, the CDFW Legal Advisor has prepared the following opinion (CDFG ESD 1994): • Natural waterways that have been subsequently modified and which have the potential to contain fish, aquatic insects, and riparian vegetation will be treated like natural waterways. • Artificial waterways that have acquired the physical attributes of natural stream courses and which have been viewed by the community as natural stream courses should be treated by [CDFW] as natural waterways. • Artificial waterways without the attributes of natural waterways should generally not be subject to Fish and Game Code provisions. CDFW jurisdictional limits may also include artificial stock ponds and irrigation ditches constructed within uplands, and outer drip line limits of adjacent riparian habitat supported by a river, stream, or lake regardless of the riparian area’s federal wetland status or its location beyond the defined bed, bank or channel. 2.4 RWQCB Jurisdictional Waters RWQCB is the regional agency responsible for protecting water quality in California. The jurisdiction of this agency includes Waters of the State as mandated by the federal CWA Section 401. When CWA Section 404 jurisdiction is not present for isolated water, the RWQCB may assert jurisdiction via the California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Waters of the State are defined as “any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters, within the boundaries of the state”. The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act provides a regulatory framework to provide comprehensive protections for Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 10 surface and groundwater within the State of California. Waters subject to jurisdiction under the Porter- Cologne Water Quality Control Act require that any discharge that may negatively impact or otherwise affect a Water of the State must coordinate with RWQCB. During coordination, RWQCB may require implementation of mitigation measures or other requirements to protect overall water quality. 2.5 California Coastal Commission and the City of Carlsbad The Legislature enacted the California Coastal Act in 1976, following the passage of Proposition 20, a referendum expressing the desire of the people of California to protect its coastal resources and includes jurisdiction of 1,100 miles of coastline throughout the State of California. Division 20 of the Public Resources Code, Section 30000 et seq. (the Coastal Act) established a comprehensive coastal protection program and made permanent the CCC as a state agency. The first goal of the Coastal Act is to “[p]rotect, maintain, and, where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and artificial resources.” (§ 30001.5, subd. (a).).” The CCC considers applications for coastal development permits in its jurisdiction; certifies long term plans, including local coastal programs that allow local governments to issue coastal development permits; considers appeals of certain local approvals; sets policy in coastal matters; conducts enforcement, from negotiations for the settlement of violations to the imposition of fines and litigation; and ensures the consistency of federally-approved development in the Coastal Zone. The Proposal does not affect federal consistency regulations. Existing regulations are located in Title 14, Division 5.5, Section 13001 et seq. Shortly after passage of the Coastal Act, the Commission adopted a full set of procedural regulations. Wetlands defined under the Coastal Act (Section 30121 of California Coastal Act as of January 1, 2005) were delineated based upon the USFWS definition (Cowardin et al. 1979) of wetlands. To meet the requirements of the California Coastal Act, the City has provided the Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan, adopted by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) in 1980 (and amended in 1984 and 1985). The purpose of the LCP Land Use Plan is to ensure that development within the City’s Coastal Zone protects and enhances coastal resources and is consist with the California Coastal Act. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 11 3.0 METHODS A jurisdictional delineation, following the guidelines set forth by USACE (1987, 2008), was performed to gather field data at potentially jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and Waters of the State within the proposed Project Area. The jurisdictional delineation was conducted by Blackhawk wetland specialist Kris Alberts on October 2, 2020. To account for all potential Project impact areas and provide a greater landscape context to sensitive aquatic resources, all areas inside the Project Area were initially assessed for jurisdictional resources (Figure 2). Potential wetlands were then delineated within the Project Area based on commonality among vegetation community characteristics and three- parameter testing methodology. To account for any changes in existing conditions and to ensure consistency with City’s HMP and supporting documents/programs for areas considered wetlands, the delineation effort refined, and updated vegetation mapping performed as part of the biological resource survey (Figure 2). Prior to conducting the field delineation, a site map was generated with available aerial imagery, and potentially jurisdictional features were identified and marked with lines and Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates to assist in field verification. Soil types mapped within the Project Area were consulted prior to field efforts to target areas with potentially hydric soils. In addition, the following sources were consulted to identify land use history and provide additional context to potentially atypical and problematic jurisdictional wetlands within the Project Area, including : • USGS Encinitas, California quadrangle topographic map (USGS 2011) • Historical aerial photographs (NETR 1947) • Current and historical aerial photographs (Google 2020) • National Wetland Inventory (USFWS 2020) • California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) search for sensitive riverine, riparian and/or aquatic species (CDFW 2020) Once on site, the potential wetland locations were examined to determine the presence of any of the three wetland parameters or drainage channels. Soil type and classification data used in the delineation were provided by the Natural Resource Conservation Service’s web soil survey (accessed September 2020) (Figure 3). Potential waters and wetland locations observed within the Project site were evaluated using the methodology set forth in the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual (USACE 1987) and the Arid West Supplement (USACE 2008). The three parameters used to determine the presence of wetland areas included presence of 1) a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, 2) wetland hydrology and 3) hydric soils. Criteria for determining presence of wetland hydrology indicators may include evidence of inundation, saturation, water marks, drainage patterns, soil cracks, drift lines, sediment deposits, presence of aquatic invertebrates and other variables. Vegetation was analyzed using dominant species wetland indicator status (USDA 2018). Soil samples were collected and described according to the methodology provided in the Arid West Supplement. Soil chroma and values were determined by utilizing a standard Munsell soil color chart (Gretag/Macbeth 2000). Where indicators of hydric soils were observed at sample points, “test pits” were excavated to serve as additional soil samples to determine the extent of hydric soil indicators where wetland hydrology and vegetation remained consistent surrounding the initial sample point location. Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 12 Suspected non-wetland jurisdictional areas were evaluated for the presence of definable channels, OHWM, and connectivity to a TNW or relatively permanent water (RPW). Identification of the OHWM followed the Corps Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05-05, Ordinary High Water Mark Identification (USACE 2005). Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 13 4.0 RESULTS A discussion of the local hydrology within the Project Area and an additional 100-foot buffer (Survey Area), description of the major vegetation units observed in delineated areas within the Project Area, and soil types encountered are presented below. The locations of soil sampling and “test pits” are shown as “Wetland Sample Point” and “Hydric Test Point”, respectively, in Figure 4. A copy of the USACE Wetland Determination Data Form summarizing information on hydrology, vegetation, and soils observed at the Wetland Sample Point is provided in Attachment C. 4.1 Hydrology Elevations within the Project Area generally drain towards the center of the Project Area, where the site is bisected by the concrete energy dissipation apron of the EWPCF flood control channel. The EWPCF flood control channel was historically a natural, non-channelized portion of Encinas Creek. Although it is now channelized, the EWPCF flood control channel remains a functioning part of Encinas Creek, connecting the upstream Encinas Creek watershed (Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, hydrologic area 904.40) with its historical reach west of the EWPCF facility (Figure 5). Surface and storm water from the upstream Encinas Creek watershed, as well as outflow from the EWPCF, flow in a generally east-west direction through the concrete-lined flood control channel, discharging into the Project Area, west of the NCTD railroad tracks. At the easternmost boundary of the Project Area, channel flow enters a triple box culvert. At the culvert’s exit, hydraulic energy is dissipated over a concrete apron and grouted rip rap bed. Above the western extent of the rip rap bed lies a relatively level and vegetated shelf. Upon meeting this shelf, surface and storm water continue to flow in a westerly direction through the Project Area, meeting the natural stream channel of Encinas Creek before proceeding under the Pacific Coast Highway and onto the Pacific coastline where it ultimately discharges into the Pacific Ocean. 4.1.1 Tributaries & Natural Drainages Approximately 190 linear feet of Encinas Creek occur within the Survey Area (Figure 4). No additional natural drainage features were observed. Within the Project Area, Encinas Creek is best characterized as RPW and stream, with regular flow expected for at least three months of the year under normal conditions. Additional non-seasonal flow likely occurs due to irrigation runoff and other anthropogenic input sources. OHWM and bank-to-bank streambed widths of Encinas Creek within the Project Area are defined by the boundary of the Non-Vegetated Channel and range from approximately 58 feet to 70 feet in width. Within the Project Area, the primary channel or the creek is generally comprised of silt and sediment accumulated over grouted rip rap. Evidence of short-term high volume and velocity flow were evident in the form of drift deposits, scouring and water marks. Drift deposits were observed at and above the top of the streambed, indicating that the creek within the Project Area is subject to flooding during rain events. Additional evidence of hydrology included sediment deposits, inundation and saturation visible on aerial imagery, water stained leaves, crayfish burrows, water lines and a dry- season water table. 4.2 Vegetation A total of two vegetation communities and land use cover types were identified in the BRA to occur within the Project Area: Non-Vegetated Channel and Southern Willow Scrub (Blackhawk 2020). Vegetation communities were described according to Holland (1986) and Oberbauer (2008). Of the Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 14 two vegetation communities/land use cover types, only one supports hydrophytic vegetation and/or riparian vegetation: Southern Willow Scrub. 4.2.1 Areas Supporting Hydrophytic Vegetation and/or Open Water 4.2.1.1 Southern Willow Scrub (Holland Code 63320) Southern Willow Scrub consists of moderate density riparian woodland with predominately smaller riparian trees and some larger riparian trees throughout. Within the Project Area, this community is dominated by arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis; FACW), with an herbaceous understory dominated by rough cockleburr (Xanthium strumarium; FAC) and salt marsh fleabane (Pluchea odorata; FACW). A total of 0.104 acres of this community were mapped within the Project Area. Vegetation dominance within Southern Willow Scrub was evaluated using the USACE dominance test and is included on the Wetland Determination Data Form Sample Point (SP) 1 included in Attachment C. Southern Willow Scrub habitat present within the Project was determined to meet USACE and RWQCB criteria for dominance of wetland vegetation as represented by Sample Point (SP)1 and is likely considered wetland under the jurisdiction of the CCC. Furthermore, these areas are likely considered riparian habitat under the jurisdiction of CDFW. 4.2.2 Areas Lacking Hydrophytic Vegetation or Hydric Soils One vegetation community and/or land cover types that is lacking in hydrophytic vegetation or hydric soils occurs within the Project Area: Non-Vegetated Channel. This vegetation community/land cover type is generally composed of open water, bare ground, or upland plant species and do not meet the hydrophytic vegetation criteria for wetlands. A complete description of this vegetation community/land cover type is provided in the Biological Survey Report (Blackhawk, 2020). Additionally, this vegetation community/land cover type was observed to exhibit indicators of hydrology in the absence of hydrophytic vegetation and is further discussed below. 4.2.2.1 Non-Vegetated Channel (Holland Code 13200) Areas of Non-Vegetated Channel were observed to be largely devoid of vegetation as a result of scouring, as well as the soil being inundated with standing water. These areas do not meet criteria for dominance of wetland vegetation. However, due to strong hydrologic indicators including watermarks, drift deposits, flowlines and inundation, these areas are likely considered jurisdictional non- wetland waters of the U.S. by USACE, non-wetland waters of the State by RWQCB, wetland by the CCC/City and streambed by CDFW. A total of 0.082 acres of this community were mapped within the Project Area. 4.3 Soils One distinct soil series mapped by USDA (1973) occurs within the Project: Tidal flats (Tf) (Figure 3). Tidal flats soil series is described as hydric according to USDA. Total acreage of this soil series within the Project Area is 0.192. During the October 2, 2020 site visit, one Wetland Sample Point (WSP-1) and three Hydric Test Points (HTP-1-3) were evaluated to determine if conditions for hydric soils existed on site. Locations of the Wetland Sample Point and associated Hydric Test Points are shown in Figure 4. The field data sheet for Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 15 the Wetland Sample Point describing field soils conditions is included in Attachment C. Presence of hydric soils were determined to occur on site through a variety of indicators. In general, hydric soils corresponded to the channel formed by the streambed of Encinas Creek, as well as the surrounding Southern Willow Scrub. 4.3.1 Hydric Soils Presence of hydric soil indicators in the Southern Willow Scrub within the Project Area was determined through assessment of WSP-1. Soil conditions at WSP-1 were considered “problematic” due to annual scouring during flood events and sedimentation resulting in hydric indicators being potentially jumbled in the soil horizon. Though these soil conditions were evaluated for potential hydric soil indicators, the Redox Dark Surface (F6) indicator was observed present. Three additional Hydric Test Pits (HTP-1, HTP- 2, and HTP-3; Figure 4) were dug in areas of similar vegetation and hydrology to confirm that uniform hydric soil conditions existed throughout the Project Area. Due to uniform conditions in vegetation and hydrological indicators, hydric soil conditions from WSP-1 were applied to the extent of the Southern Willow Scrub habitat within the Project Area. Based on the criteria set forth by the USACE and RWQCB in determining hydric soils within a wetland, soils were found hydric for WSP-1. By extension of the hydric soils observed at HTP-1 through HTP-3, the hydric soil of WSP-1 was representative of all hydric soils occurring within the Southern Willow Scrub within the entire Project Area.

Encinas Creek includes 0.082 acre (52 linear feet} of assumed USACE- jurisdictional non-vegetated channel and 0. l 04 acre (38 linear feet) of adjacent wetlands. Project- related impacts to Encinas Creek and associated wetlands are likely subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. 5.2 RWQCB Jurisdiction Likely RWQCB jurisdictional waters within the Project Area total 0.186 acre (90 linear feet} of Waters of the State within Encinas Creek. Encinas Creek includes 0.082 acres (52 linear feet) of assumed RWQCB- jurisdictional non-vegetated channel and 0. l 04 acre (38 linear feet) of adjacent wetlands. Project- related impacts to Encinas Creek and associated wetlands are likely subject to regulation under the Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act. 5.3 CDFW Jurisdiction Likely CDFW jurisdictional waters within the Project Area total 0.186 acre (90 linear feet) of modified streambed of Encinas Creek and its associated wetlands. Within the Project, Encinas Creek, includes 0.082 acres (52 linear feet) of likely CDFW-jurisdictional streambed. An additional 0.104 acre (38 linear 16 Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 17 feet) of adjacent Southern Willow Scrub within the Project Area is likely considered CDFW-jurisdictional riparian habitat. Project-related impacts to Encinas Creek and the associated riparian areas and its associated riparian habitat would likely be subject to the terms and conditions of a CDFW Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement. 5.4 CCC/City Jurisdiction Likely CCC and City jurisdictional wetlands within the Project Area total 0.186 acre (90 linear feet) of wetland habitat. Within the Project Area, wetland habitats include 0.104 acre (38 linear feet) of palustrine wetland and 0.082 acres (52 linear feet) of riverine areas. These areas are likely subject to regulation by CCC and the City’s Land Use Plan under the Coastal Act (Section 30121 of California Coastal Act). Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 18 6.0 PROJECT IMPACTS Direct and indirect impacts associated with the Project are discussed below. 6.1 Direct Impacts Implementation of the proposed Project will result in loss or modification of wetlands and waters associated with the removal of habitat from within the Project and restoration (removal of debris, soil, vegetation) of the grouted rip rap areas to original flow. Proposed activities include the removal of debris, sediment and vegetation within the Project Area. Following initial removal, these areas are proposed for recurring annual maintenance in conjunction with EWPCF channel cleanout and are therefore considered “permanent”. Areas of proposed impacts are to be restricted to the existing footprint of the flood control channel grouted rip rap area. These areas are shown on Figure 2 and 4 as “Permanent Impact Areas” and include all areas proposed for ground disturbance, grubbing, clearing and dredging. Removal of debris and sediment is unlikely to constitute a “discharge of dredge or fill materials” into waters because it will involve excavation of materials only with no placement of fill other than incidental fallback. Temporary impact areas will include a dewatering/settling area (with sandbag barrier), temporary sediment stockpiling and spreading areas, outside the Project and Survey Area, but within the EWPCF and South Parcel, discussed in the 2017 BRA. For the purpose of impacts analysis, use of temporary impact areas described above, including the concrete energy dissipation apron (0.035 acres, 32 linear feet), are not considered new impacts, as they are currently permitted for impacts under a CEQA Categorical Exemption and RWQCB Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. R9- 2017-0044. These areas are identified in Figures 2 and 3 of the 2017 BRA (Rincon 2017). Therefore, no temporary impacts are anticipated for Project implementation. As shown in Table 2, construction of the Project is expected to directly impact a total of 0.104 (permanent) acre of likely USACE Waters of the U.S. and RWQCB Waters of the State, 0.046 (permanent) acre of likely CDFW streambeds, 0.104 acre of likely CDFW riparian habitat (permanent), 0.046 acre of likely CCC/City riverine habitat, and 0.104 acre of likely CCC/City palustrine wetland. No indirect impacts are anticipated.

Potential discharges and downstream water quality effects will be managed through the implementation of in-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs). Proposed restoration of as-designed flow is not anticipated to significantly alter or impact normal hydrologic regime. Further, downstream flow will be maintained throughout implementation of the Project. With these considerations, indirect impacts to both on-site and off-site jurisdictional waters are not anticipated. 6.3 Permit Authorization USACE, RWQCB, CDFW, and CCC jurisdictional waters are regulated by the U.S. and State of California governments. To avoid permitting requirements of these agencies, all impacts to jurisdictional waters would need to be avoided. Impacts proposed for the Project would require the following permit authorizations prior to Project development: l) Impacts to Waters of the U.S. would require a CWA Section 404 permit issued by USACE 2) Impacts to Waters of the State would require a Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act Section 401 permit issued by RWQCB 3) Impacts to CDFW-jurisdictional streambeds and riparian areas would require a Lake and Streambed Alteration Act Section 1602 permit issued by CDFW 19 Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 20 4) Impacts to CCC/City jurisdiction would require a Coastal Development Permit issued by the California Coastal Commission Encina Wastewater Authority Flood Control Channel Rip Rap Bed Maintenance Project - Jurisdictional Delineation Report City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, CA 21 7.0 SURVEYOR CERTIFICATION This report was prepared for Encina Wastewater Authority.
