Re: Community input on Car shad's coastline (Districts - All) The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the City Council with a summary of community input on the future use of coastal land in south Carlsbad and to transmit the input report.

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.

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.

South Carlsbad’s Coastline
Public Input Report
Carlsbad’s southern coastline is largely unchanged from the car-centric 1950s, when Highway 101 (Carlsbad Boulevard) served as the main north-south corridor in the state.

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.

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
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

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

Common topics discussed during these meetings are listed below along with some sample comments. Summaries of each meeting are included in the appendices.

• Walkers and bikers of all levels and ages should be able to safely walk and bike along the coast.
• Separate walkers and bicyclists on different paths.
• Consider a natural trail surface rather than concrete or asphalt for walking trails. • Connect walking and biking paths to others nearby.

• Slow down traffic on Carlsbad Boulevard.
• Complete traffic studies, so the project doesn’t add traffic congestion. • Moving more cars to the east could increase noise for those who live along Carlsbad Boulevard.
• Consider other transit options for people to access this area.

• Maintain the coast’s natural beauty.
• Protect the coast from erosion.
• Public amenities built along the coast could be vulnerable to sea level rise in the future.

• Don’t allow commercial development, especially near residential areas. • Entertainment and dining options along the coast could enhance the area. • Parking should be setback from the coast and not directly across from homes. • Include accessible, safe parking that doesn’t conflict with bicyclists or bike lanes. • If more people come to the area, they could park in neighborhoods and disrupt residents.
• Consider time limits on parking, including for recreational vehicles, and to prevent overnight parking.
• Restrooms and parking would be good additions.

• Maintain scenic and coastal views for drivers, walkers, bikers and residents along Carlsbad Boulevard.

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.

Background
Carlsbad's southern coastline is largely unchanged from the car-centric 1950s, when Highway 101 (Carlsbad Boulevard) served as the main north-south corridor in the state.

Today, 1-5 serves this purpose, creating an opportunity to reclaim the southern coastal corridor as a place for the community to enjoy_ In addition to reconfiguring the road to create more public spaces, the road eventually needs to be moved away from the coast to protect tt from rising sea levels.

Natural coastline

I like the way it is now. It is already overcrowded with traffic, noise pollution, and exhaust pollution. Adding more bike lanes, and moving the traffic lanes closer to the homes along the entire stretch from Palomar Airpor t Road, two LaCosta will not solve any issues at all as the bikers allready run rampant through this area and have disregard and disrespect for the rules of the road, the traffic, and the people that live around here. It will put the traffic in our front yards, and the pollution smell and noise will be something that will disrupt our peaceful living. If you’re going to build a park, all that excess traffic where is it going to go. I think this is a very bad bad idea and I vote against it

That is still a small stretch of the coast that doesn't have anything on it but a road . Nothing blocking the beauty of nature. Don't build on it . This will cause more traffic in that area that the roads aren't able to handle even now.

I love flying Radio Control gliders along the ocean bluff. These are NOT Drones. Gliders are made with foam and balsa wood, have no motors, no cameras and make no sound. Gliders use the sea breeze to float in the air like birds as we glide along the hill. We have been flying safely at this location for 40+ years. Please continue to allow Gliders to be able to fly. I would fully support a rule that clearly st ates only RC Gliders with no motors are allowed.

How nice it is to be able to drive that section of it so peacefully and without a lot of traffic. It definitely needs to be kept at 4 lanes total, 2 lanes on each direction is required.
