Re: Annual Open Space Status Report for Fiscal Yea r 2022-23 (D istricts -All)
This memorandum provides information regarding the Annual Open Space Report for fiscal year
(FY) 2022-23.
Background
Beginning in FY 2016-17, the City of Carlsbad has produced and publicly made available an Annual
Open Space Status Report (report). The report is completed as a requirement of a settlement
agreement involving a lawsuit related to the 2015 General Plan Update/Climate Action Plan
adoption with North County Advocates. The settlement agreement was approved by the City
Council on March 14, 2017 (Attachment A).
The report includes an up-to-date open space inventory map and corresponding table that reports
on the amount of designated open space within the city and documents any changes to the open
space inventory that occurred over the reporting period. Open space is grouped in the report by
the city's 25 Local Facilities Management Zones (LFMZ) as well as categorized by four General Plan
open space categories, which are shown below:
• Category 1-Preservation of Natural Resources (29.5% of city)
Open Space for plant and animal habitat; nature preserves; beaches and bluffs; wetland
and riparian areas; canyons and hillsides; and water features such as lagoons and streams.
• Category 2 -Managed Production of Resources (1.3% of city)
Open space for forestry; agriculture; aquaculture; water management; commercial
fisheries; and major mineral resources.
• Category 3 -Outdoor Recreation (4. 7% of city)
Open space for school recreation areas; public parks and recreat ion areas; greenways;
trails; campgrounds; golf courses; and equestrian facilities.
• Category 4 -Aesthetic, Cultural and Educational Purposes (2.4% of city)
Open space for lands with scenic, historical, and cultural value; land use buffers; open
space that marks entries to the city from surrounding communities and to major

developments and neighborhoods within the city; greenbelts providing separation from
surrounding communities; and museums, arboreta, zoos, and botanical gardens.
The report provides a brief narrative description of the any changes to open space acreages that
have occurred since the previous reporting year. Prior year reports are available on the city's open
space webpage (https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/parks-recreation/open-space).
Discussion
As reflected in the Annual Open Space Status Report for FY 2022-23 (Attachment B), no open
space was added or remov_ed from the city's inventory during the reporting period. The table in
the report details the amount of open space broken down by LFMZ as well as the total citywide
open space. The map (Attachment C) illustrates the location of open space areas.
Next Steps
City staff will continue to monitor the city's open space inventory and will submit the next report
to the City Council after the end of the next FY ending on June 30, 2024.
