Overview of the City's Growth Management Program Open Space Performance Standard

Noted that while Carlsbad has great open space programs, finding local facility management zone plans online is difficult and reminded the commission of past voter expectations for 40% open space.

Expressed concern that growth management standards like traffic and open space are sometimes sidestepped by staff, and urged the commission to track unconstrained open space more closely.

Representing North County Advocates, pointed out that total open space percentages reported by the city include constrained lands and do not clearly show the remaining unconstrained 15% performance standard.
