City ATtorny Ron Ball stated the City has a local ordinance that prohibits the spending of monies on this item without public input. Language can add the plank to the platform and it can be addressed at a later date. The FAA is not a legislative body and cannot as such pass
MH states the FAA tries to superced the land authority with reules or ergulations.
RB - the FAA is an administrative body that enforces laws that are passed by Congress.
MH - if there are laws being proposed wouldn't the Council want to have legislation to oppose those laws?
Mayor Lewis asked if the City's fire department provided fire services for the airport.
Kevin Crawford stated the cOunty contracts with a compnay to provide fire service, however, the city is also contacted and a full compliment is sent when called. The County airport does need our response. The Mayor asked if the City can bill the County.

LH - clarification - land use control on the airport issues and on fire, legislation to assist with recouping costs in augmenting assistance in fire at the airport (state or federal costs).
RB - stated it may only be necessary to adopt a fees at the budget and then sound the County a bill.
Chief Crawford stated that if medical aid is provided, the person who receives the aid is billed by the City. Only fire services is not billed.
RB - Chief Crawford cannot send the County a bill unless Council adopts a fee.
Rob Houston - SB 375 - impact of this legislation could have an impact to Carlsbad. The forerunner to SB 375 was AB 32 Global Warming Solutions Act dealing with the reduction of greenhouse gas.The California Air Resourse Board (CARB) monitors the reduction.
One of the first pieces of legislation to deal with reduction targets. The League of California Cities took the lead in mitigating damagin situations to Cities. A program for the car and light truck secrot to reduce greenhouse gas to link through transportation and land use planning.
David - SB375 goal is to use regional transportation planning to help achieve AB 32 goals. Provide streamlining incentives to help achieve the greenhouse gas goal with CEQA streamling. Coordinate regional housing to reduce greenhouse gases.
Sandag recently adopted the 2030 in 2007 for deciding how federal, state and local funds are distributed. Forecast must use realistic current planning numbers. SB 375 Sustainable Community Strategy use realistic planning and frowth forecases, general location of land use uses, densities/intensities, ID areas suitable to accommodate regionals housing needs describe a transportation network to service the needs of the regional set a forecased development patter achieving GhG reduction targets, must be adopted by Sandag and submited to State Air Reporces Board. Board is limited to only accept or reject strategy. Evaluation will be on with strategy will achieve the targeted reduction.
Sustainable Community Strategy does not superced a local general plan, specific plan or zoning code. nor are cities required to amend their general plans to be consistent with the strategy. however, transportation projects must be consistent with SCS, except for those programmed for funding by 2011 and 1B funds.
If the strategy does not achieve the reduction an alternative strategy must be prepared. Must include measures that achieve the target, measures that achieve the target and is not part of the regional transportation plan.
get this information from the powerpoint presentation. how much to drill down?
JM - new legislation seeks to reduce the need for driving, incorporate mixed uses, have higher densities and are in transit corridors.
Ceqa exemptions are quite lengthy and may be limited due to criteria and only partial exemptions. Other exemptions already in place may provide more relief.
Housing needs must be consistent with SCS. Greenhouse gas reductions are now a factor in allocating fair share.
Changes in SB375 requires a Housing Element to be updated every eight years instead of five years. failure to complete and submit the housing element update within 12 months places the city on a four year cycle.
Zoning time limitations must be completed within three years unless an extension is granted by the state.
city may lose ability to disapprove an affordable housing project with regard to zoning.
Dave - next steps. Various groups calling for cleanup and changes to the legislation. Sandag intends to pursue cleanup on timeline and Sandag will be providing additional information regarding implementation on this legislation.
Implications for Carlsbad SB375 could build upon recent planning efforts to focus on infill and smart growth. Incentives may encourage more mixed use projects. Does not require the City to amend its land use, zoning or growth management policies. Disadvantages potential for reduced funding if local land use policies are out of sync with SCS. Future housing element updates may require re-zoning. Incentives may not be sufficient. Full impact of law is not known.
Get summary
JN - what would happen to a built out community.
JM - SCs strategy has to meet the target but langauage also states "if feasible". These are going to go into balance.
JN - are there sanctions for the region
JM - not aware of sanctions but if not able to meet they have to do alternative planning.
MP - Who decides feasibility - the city or state resources board
David - SCS is a region-wide it will be Sandag as a collective body will make the determination if the reductions are feasible.
AK - Will take the land use away and alter the GMPP
JM - the housing need still has to be accommodated by the region, byt the city identifies the area needed for rezoning the state ensure completion of this.
AK - what if city does not accomodate sites
JM - if city does not accommmodate by identifying sites in violation by court.
MH - need to have conversation about commercial living units and how those are counted, what will work and will they qualify. Open space and how the city is always trying to achieve open space. was not given credit with talking housing numbers. hopes cities that have created open space are given credit.
Mayor Lewis sees another political battle in carlsbad in five years because of density. public has to realize that this takes away the control element of a cities land use. if the city does not meet the density in the time frame, the state an supercede the city.
david - yes, with regard to the housing element but linking the rtp to the housing element is going to be difficult.
As we move forward in the fure and the state is giving us a forecast and our city is not able to meet it, the state can supercede.
ML - can we change to the open space and put all the low cost housing in Calavera Hills?
