I'VE ASKED THE CLERK TO TURN OFF THE MICROPHONE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THREE MINUTES.

THAT WAY EVERYBODY GETS EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO SPEAK.

PLEASE CALL THE FIRST SPEAKER.

PIERRE KASHAY VENO.

ON NOVEMBER 12TH.

YOU VOTED FOR OPTION ONE IN THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN.

THE BARE MINIMUM, EXCEPT MRS. ACOSTA. THIS SHOWS YOUR PRIORITY AND HOW LOBBYING COUNTS AGAINST OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE.

SOME WILL SAY GREAT.

SOME ACTION PLAN WILL BE COMPLETED IN 2035 OR 2045 AND REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

BUT WHAT REALLY IS THE INPUT OF CARLSBAD.

FROM 2015 TO NOW MANY MEASURES WERE MET BY TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS BOILERS, FOR EXAMPLE, OR MANDATED BY CALIFORNIA ANYWAY, COMMONLY PUSH AGAINST THE PLAN LIKE A SHORT TERM DEMAND FOR POLICE VEHICLES.

THE COUNCIL CAVES IN AND GETS OIL CARS.

ON TOP OF THAT WHAT IS NEVER SAID IS THAT THIS GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTIONS ARE COUNTED AS A CONSUMPTION POINT WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE VAST CHAIN OF MINING, REFINING, PRODUCTION, DELIVERY AND TRANSPORT AT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

GETTING ALL THESE SO-CALLED RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNIQUES REQUIRES A MASSIVE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS ELSEWHERE.

IT IS STILL BETTER TO USE SOLAR OR ELECTRICITY THAN OIL OR GAS.

AT THE END OF THIS CHAIN, A LITTLE BIT IS BETTER THAN LESS THAN A LITTLE BIT, BUT YOU VOTED FOR THE BAREST MINIMUM.

MOREOVER, THE MAJOR IMPACT TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IS TRANSPORTATION 50% AND REAL DECISIONS ARE MADE IN

[00:05:04]

THIS RENDERS MOOT BY ITS MAGNITUDE THE ENTIRE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN.

IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, EMISSIONS HAVE INCREASED GLOBALLY BY 21% AND THE USE OF OIL, GAS AND COAL IS INCREASING A LOT MORE IN ABSOLUTE NUMBERS THAN THE SUM OF ALL OTHER ENERGY SOURCES.

I AM ADDRESSING YOUNG PEOPLE NOW.

THE ADULT GENERATIONS ARE NOT GOING TO HELP YOU.

YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND YOUR WAY.

ALL SCIENTISTS IN THE FIELD SAY WE ARE ON TRACK TO INCREASE GLOBAL TEMPERATURES BY 3 TO 4°C SINCE PRE-INDUSTRIAL TIMES AT LEAST.

DO YOUR RESEARCH WITH CREDENTIALED SCIENTISTS AND SEE WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR LIFE.

NOT THE IPCC, WHICH IS POLITICAL.

YOU WILL BEAR THE WHOLE BRUNT AND NEED RESILIENCE MORE THAN ANYTHING.

BE PREPARED.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

TAKE CARE.

THANK YOU. SHIRLEY ANDERSON. HI.

SHIRLEY ANDERSON FROM CARLSBAD.

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A PERPLEXING SITUATION THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE PARKS OF CARLSBAD.

I'M PRETTY MUCH HERE REPRESENTING MY SON, WHO IS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE BECAUSE OF WORK, BUT IT IS ABOUT A GROUP CALLED F3, WHICH IS FAITH, FELLOWSHIP AND FITNESS.

AND THIS IS A GROUP OF MEN AROUND THE COMMUNITY WHO COME TOGETHER TO WORK OUT TOGETHER.

AND THEY'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT ACCESS THE PARKS OF CARLSBAD IN THIS SPONTANEOUS COME TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE PERMITS, THEY HAVE TO FILE FEES.

THEY HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR EVERY THE ACCESS FOR THESE FACILITIES.

AND I'M HERE JUST PRETTY MUCH TO SAY HOW IMPORTANT THIS GROUP HAS BECOME FOR MY SON.

HE'S PARTICIPATED NOW FOR OVER TWO YEARS.

THEY EXERCISE ALL OVER NORTH COUNTY.

THEY WERE LAST FRIDAY UP AT CAMP PENDLETON.

AND IT'S AN IMPORTANT SOCIALIZATION FOR HIM, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE HE DOES WORK FROM HOME.

HE DOESN'T HAVE THE CAMARADERIE OF AN OFFICE ANYMORE, AS MANY PEOPLE DO.

AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT.

THIS GETS OUR MEN IN THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED WITH EACH OTHER.

AND THESE ARE MEN THAT ARE IN THEIR 20S ALL THE WAY UP TO THEIR 60S, BRINGING THEM TOGETHER SPONTANEOUSLY.

SOMETIMES THERE'S FIVE, SOMETIMES THERE'S 15.

THERE'S NO MONETARY EXCHANGE.

THIS IS JUST A GROUP OF MEN WANTING TO MEET.

BUT THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN NOTICE FROM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT THAT THIS IS NOT THIS CANNOT HAPPEN FOR WHATEVER REASON.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO SHARE THIS.

SHIRLEY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO TALK TO OUR PARKS DIRECTOR, KYLE LANCASTER.

OKAY. GARY BARBERIO, I GUESS KYLE'S NOT AVAILABLE.

WOULD YOU PLEASE TALK WITH GARY? OKAY. OKAY.

PERFECT. THANK YOU.

RYAN WILK.

GOOD EVENING ALL. MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, MR. CITY MANAGER AS SHIRLEY ANDERSON WAS JUST SAYING, I'M A MEMBER OF THAT GROUP THAT MEETS IN THE PARKS REGULARLY, AND I'M COMING HERE TO ASK FOR REASON.

THE WAY WE SEE IT, THIS IS A PUBLIC PARK, AND WE ARE A GROUP OF FRIENDS THAT ARE MEETING TOGETHER.

NOBODY TAKES ANY MONEY FOR OUR WORKOUTS THE WAY IT'S FREE, AS WE ALL TAKE TURNS.

AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WITHOUT PERMIT, INSURANCE FEES AND A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS, WE CANNOT WORK OUT. AND FOR US, THIS IS A REALLY BIG BLOW.

WE'VE BEEN MEETING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW, AND AS SHIRLEY MENTIONED, THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE SOCIAL GOOD FOR OUR GROUP OF FRIENDS.

WE'RE GETTING MORE FIT TOGETHER, BUT IT'S ALSO BRANCHED OFF INTO US, HANGING OUT MORE AND HAVING COMMUNITY AND HAVING GOOD CONVERSATIONS AROUND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A FATHER? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GOOD HUSBAND.

AND EVEN BEYOND THAT, WE ARE DOING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN THE FORM OF FOOD DRIVES.

AND WE HAVE A TOYS FOR TOTS DRIVE GOING RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE BLOOD DRIVES THAT WE DO REGULARLY.

[00:10:04]

WE FEEL IT'S DOING GOOD THINGS FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD AND THE POPULACE.

AND IT'S JUST REALLY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE NOTICE BE GIVEN TO US THAT THE CITY OF CARLSBAD DOESN'T WANT US THERE.

OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.

AND I KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING.

AND I KNOW THAT THESE ORDINANCES WERE PUT IN PLACE FOR A REASON, AND I'M SURE THERE'S A GOOD REASON, BUT I AM JUST ASKING THAT IF YOU COULD PLEASE CONSIDER US.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE. WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING GOOD.

WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD COMMUNITY, AND WE'RE BEING BLOCKED BY THIS RED TAPE.

WE HAVE NOT GONE BACK TO CALAVERAS HILLS SINCE WE GOT THAT THAT NOTICE.

WE'RE TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE REALLY WANT TO FIGHT FOR THIS.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.

OKAY, I'M GOING TO SEND YOU TO JERRY BARBERIO AS WELL.

HE'S THE ONE IN THE BACK SHAKING HIS HAND.

ITEM NUMBER 14. CITY MANAGER.

[14. GRAND HOPE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING]

ITEM NUMBER 14 IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS IS THE GRAND HOPE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

AND MAKING OUR PRESENTATION TODAY IS OUR ASSOCIATE PLANNER LAUREN OR LAUREN YZAGUIRRE.

I'M SORRY. LAUREN.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. THAT'S OKAY.

GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR.

ITEM 14 ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT IS THE GRAND HOPE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.

THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF GRAND AVENUE AND HOPE AVENUE.

THE PROJECT IS WITHIN THE VILLAGE CENTER DISTRICT OF THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN, AND IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS.

[00:15:09]

A COMMON EGRESS BALCONY AND A ONE STORY PARKING GARAGE.

THE PROJECT WAS ANALYZED FOR CONSISTENCY WITH ALL REQUIRED CITY CODES, POLICIES, AND STANDARDS, INCLUDING THE GENERAL PLAN, ZONING ORDINANCE, AND THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN. THE FULL ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT OF APPROVAL CAN BE FOUND IN THE STAFF REPORT AND RESOLUTIONS.

AS PART OF THE PROJECT, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A STANDARDS MODIFICATION PURSUANT TO THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN.

PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION OF THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN, A STANDARDS MODIFIED MODIFICATION CAN BE PERMITTED IF IT ENABLES A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC BENEFIT AS DETERMINED BY THE DECISION MAKING BODY.

THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARD.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A MODIFICATION FROM IS A BUILDING MASSING STANDARD, WHICH REQUIRES A FIVE FOOT VARIATION OR STEP BACK OF THE OF THE WALL PLAIN, AND A CHANGE IN ROOF LINE FOR EVERY 40FT OF BUILDING FACADE VISIBLE FROM A PUBLIC STREET.

THE FIRST FLOOR BUILDING FACADE ALONG HOPE AVENUE, EXTENDS 66FT, WITH ONLY A TWO FOOT STEP BACK AT THE ACCESS STAIRS.

THIS BUILDING WALL IS LOCATED AT THE PARKING GARAGE UNDER THE CITY'S PARKING STANDARDS.

THIS. THIS PROJECT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ONE ADA ACCESSIBLE STALL AND FOUR ELECTRIC VEHICLE STALLS, FOR A TOTAL OF FIVE PARKING STALLS.

TO MAKE THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED FINDINGS FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT.

TO ALLOW THE DESIGN STANDARD STANDARDS MODIFICATION, THE APPLICANT PROPOSED TO EXCEED THE MINIMUM EV CHARGING STATIONS AMOUNT BY INSTALLING AN ADDITIONAL THREE SPACES, FOR A TOTAL OF EIGHT EV STALLS.

CITY STAFF SUPPORTED THIS PROPOSAL, AND RECOMMENDED AND RECOMMENDED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THE MASSING STANDARD BE DEVIATED FOR THIS PROJECT.

THIS ISSUE OF PARKING FOR THE PROJECT WAS A MAJOR DISCUSSION POINT WHEN THE PROJECT WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

BUT BEFORE WE DISCUSS THE PCS RECOMMENDATION, I WOULD LIKE TO SUMMARIZE A RELATIVELY RECENT STATE LAW THAT GREATLY IMPACTS THE CITY'S ABILITY TO IMPOSE PARKING STANDARDS. UNDER CURRENT CODE, THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN REQUIRES A REQUIRES PARKING FOR MEDICAL OFFICES TO BE PROVIDED AT A RATIO OF ONE SPACE PER 355FT² OF GROSS FLOOR AREA.

FOR THIS PROJECT, A TOTAL OF 23 PARKING SPACES WOULD BE REQUIRED.

OF THE 23 SPACES, ONE WOULD BE RESERVED FOR ADA AND FOUR DEDICATED FOR EV.

HOWEVER, SUBJECT TO AB 2097, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE IN JANUARY 2023, CITIES CAN NO LONGER IMPOSE OR ENFORCE ANY MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS ON A RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, OR OTHER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

IF THE PROJECT IS LOCATED WITHIN ONE HALF MILE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT.

THE CITY CAN, HOWEVER, STILL REQUIRE EV AND ADA PARKING SPACES BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN REQUIRED.

THE PROJECT IS WITHIN ONE HALF MILE OF THE CARLSBAD VILLAGE TRAIN STATION, AND THEREFORE ONLY EV AND ADA PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED BECAUSE OF THE STATE LAW.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THE APPLICANT ENVISIONED AND STAFF SUPPORTED A PROJECT WITH ALL EIGHT PARKING SPACES PROVIDED AS EV SPACES, STATING THAT THE ADDITIONAL EV STALLS WERE PROVIDING A PUBLIC BENEFIT BY EXCEEDING THE CITY'S CLIMATE ACTION PLAN REQUIREMENTS.

HOWEVER, AT THE AT THE OCTOBER 16TH, 2024 PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING, THE COMMISSIONERS VOTED THEY'RE SORRY, THE COMMISSIONERS VOICED THEIR CONCERN WITH THE TIGHTLY CONSTRAINED PARKING IN THE AREA AND THE NEED FOR A VARIETY OF PARKING OPTIONS, INCLUDING BOTH EV AND STANDARD SPACES.

FOLLOWING THE COMMISSIONER'S DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION, THE COMMISSIONERS DEVIATED FROM STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND INSTEAD VOTED TO APPROVE THE PROJECT, BUT CHANGED THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FROM EIGHT EV SPACES TO FOUR EV SPACES, ONE ADA SPACE, AND THREE STANDARD SPACES OPEN TO GAS POWERED VEHICLES.

WITH THIS CHANGE, THE COMMISSIONERS DETERMINED THAT THE PROJECT IS STILL PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC BENEFIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN, BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PARKING ON SITE ABOVE THE STATE REQUIRED MINIMUM, AND CITED HAVING THE ON SITE PARKING FOR EMPLOYEES AND PATIENTS WOULD REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR STREET PARKING. AS SUCH, FOR THE REASONS SPECIFIED HERE AND IN THE STAFF REPORT.

STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE AND AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS?

[00:20:01]

CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES THE DEVELOPER WANT TO CHOOSE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? YOU DON'T HAVE TO. I'M JUST GIVING YOU THE OPTION TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF THEY COME UP.

OKAY. QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL.

MISS BURKHOLDER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.

HOW MANY? SO THIS IS TWO.

HOW MANY PATIENTS ARE WE EXPECTING TO SEE PER UNIT HERE AT THIS OFFICE SPACE? PER HOUR, I GUESS. WOULD BE A GOOD RATE.

I WOULD DEFER TO THE APPLICANT FOR THAT QUESTION.

PLEASE. ARE YOU CAPABLE OF.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

NO, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, BUT THERE ARE THREE TENANT SPACES.

AND THE THE TENANT OR.

EXCUSE ME, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS A DENTIST, AND HE IS PLANNING TO OPEN HIS DENTAL PRACTICE WITHIN THIS SPACE.

AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT HIS PATIENT TURNOVER IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

OKAY. THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING IS THERE HAVE BEEN SOME NUMBERS THROWN AT US THAT THERE WOULD BE LIKE 300 PLUS PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT OF THESE SPACES.

AND I REPRESENT THE DISTRICT WHERE YOU'RE BUILDING YOUR DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY. AND PARKING IS A HUGE CONCERN.

SO I WAS JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD IF WE COULD LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS AND PERHAPS SEE THAT BECAUSE PARKING IS A HUGE LIKE THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE NEXT TO POSSIBLY HOMELESSNESS.

BUT YOU SAID THERE'S I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE FINE. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I THINK, LAUREN, YOU SAID THAT THERE'S, LIKE, ONE PARKING SPACE PER 355FT.

DID I HEAR THAT CORRECTLY? THAT'S CORRECT. YES. OKAY.

THAT'S 355FT INTERIOR SPACE OF THE BUILDING.

CORRECT. REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH SPACE IS BEING UTILIZED TO TREAT PATIENTS.

RIGHT? CORRECT.

OKAY. THE ONLY SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WOULDN'T BE INCLUDED IN THAT IS THE PARKING GARAGE ITSELF.

SO IT WOULD BE JUST THE INTERIOR SQUARE.

SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING.

YEAH. SO I'M A BUSINESS OWNER MYSELF.

I STRUGGLE WITH THIS BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE STATE TELLS US TO DO THINGS THAT ARE WAY OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY NEED TO SERVICE THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE SERVICING.

SO IT'S INTERESTING.

AND ARE THOSE SPACES THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT UNITS WITH INSIDE THERE ARE THOSE SPACES POOLED.

SO ALL OF THE UNITS GET TO USE THOSE SPACES.

SO WE DON'T HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR THAT IN OUR CODE.

IT WOULD BE UP TO THE THE OWNER TO DECIDE HOW THEY DISTRIBUTE THOSE SPACES.

SAYS. HAVE YOU HAD THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT OR.

NO, I HAVE NOT ASKED.

OKAY. AND THE DEVELOPER PROBABLY HAS HAD THE DISCUSSION WITH THE OWNERS ABOUT THAT OR.

NO, BECAUSE YOU DON'T.

YEAH, BUT THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE.

PLEASE STEP TO THE MICROPHONE BECAUSE WE CAN'T.

THE RECORD CAN'T HEAR YOU.

THAT'S OKAY. I'M SORRY.

THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL THREE SPACES TO SPLIT EQUALLY.

OKAY. SO IT'S POSSIBLE THERE COULD BE 6 OR 8 PEOPLE THERE AT THE SAME TIME FOR DENTAL SERVICES WITH THREE SPACES, ETC..

CORRECT. OKAY. JUST MAKING SURE.

SORRY. EXCUSE ME.

THE DENTIST PRACTICES CURRENTLY IN CARLSBAD.

AND SO A LOT OF HIS PATIENTS ARE IN CARLSBAD.

AND I THINK THE HOPES ARE THAT LOCAL PATIENTS OR PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE AREA WILL, WILL UTILIZE THE FACILITY AND BE ABLE TO TRANSPORT THEMSELVES BY BIKE OR WALKING OR BY BUS, YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPES OF ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK AND YOUR INPUT THERE.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

MAYBE JUST A COUPLE COMMENTS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. COMMENTS, MISS BURKHOLDER.

SORRY, I THOUGHT MY COLLEAGUE MIGHT GO.

SO, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR DOING THE WORK ON THIS ONE.

IT'S NOT AS BIG OF A HEAVY LIFT AS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE VILLAGE RECENTLY.

HOWEVER, I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE PARKING ON TOP OF MIND IN THE VILLAGE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF IDEAS I HAVE ABOUT PARKING IN THE VILLAGE AND WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH STAFF TO ACHIEVE SOME CONGESTION RELIEF TO THAT END.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

THANK YOU TO THOSE COMMISSIONERS FOR GOING BACK AND SAYING, WAIT A MINUTE, THIS EV MANDATE OR NOT MANDATE, BUT OPTION DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I THINK THAT WHEN I PERSONALLY GO INTO A PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, I WANT IT TO BE NICE, CLEAN, CRISP AND READY TO GO.

AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO ENHANCE THE VILLAGE IN THAT WAY.

SO WHILE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT THAT DON'T AGREE, I HOPE THAT THE END PRODUCT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? MISS ACOSTA. THANK YOU.

THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I KNOW THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS TONIGHT, BUT WE DID RECEIVE A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT.

AND OF COURSE THE THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID TOO, AND HAD THE CONVERSATION THERE.

[00:25:01]

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.

BUT I APPRECIATE STAFF GOING OVER WHAT THE STATE LAW IS AND HOW WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REQUIRE PARKING ANYMORE IN THE WAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO THINK OF OTHER CREATIVE WAYS TO CREATE PUBLIC TRANSIT OR FIND OTHER PARKING SYSTEMS IN THE VILLAGE.

I KNOW THAT FOR THIS PROJECT ITSELF, WE CAN'T REQUIRE IT.

SO I UNDERSTAND AND THANK YOU FOR THE PROJECT AND THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

MISS BHAT-PATEL.

I'LL ECHO THE CONCERNS ABOUT PARKING.

I'VE OFTEN SAID THAT MOST BUSINESSES WANT TO BUILD IN PARKING TO MAKE IT CONVENIENT FOR THEIR PATIENTS OR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

IF YOU MAKE IT TOO DIFFICULT AND MAKE ME WALK THREE BLOCKS TO GET TO MY DENTIST, I'LL PROBABLY FIND A NEW DENTIST.

SO I SHARE THE COUNCIL'S CONCERNS ABOUT THAT.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING, AND THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING CARLSBAD WITH THIS PROJECT.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF MONEY AND A LOT AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT TO CARLSBAD.

WITH THAT, I NEED A MOTION, PLEASE.

MOVE. ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION.

SECOND. PLEASE VOTE.

THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THAT BRINGS US TO THE CONCLUSION OF OUR CALENDAR.

[COUNCIL COMMENTARY AND REQUESTS FOR CONSIDERATION OF MATTERS]

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO READ A PROCLAMATION TO OUR CITY MANAGER ON HIS LAST CITY MANAGER DUTIES COUNCIL MEETING.

AND THIS, SAYS SCOTT CHADWICK, HAS SERVED THE CITY OF CARLSBAD WITH DISTINCTION OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS.

EXCUSE ME, INCLUDING SIX AS CITY MANAGER, SETTING THE STANDARD FOR EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

SCOTT WILL SOON DEPART FOR THE NEXT STEP IN HIS PUBLIC SERVICE CAREER, WHICH IS INCLUDED, WHICH HAS INCLUDED SERVING AS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND IS A PROUD VETERAN OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

UNDER SCOTT'S LEADERSHIP, THE CITY OF CARLSBAD HAS EXPANDED PUBLIC SAFETY PARKS, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, TRAFFIC SAFETY, DIGITAL SERVICES AND TRANSPARENCY.

CARLSBAD ALSO SAW MANY FIRSTS UNDER SCOTT'S LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING THE CITY'S FIRST LONG TERM STRATEGIC PLAN, THE CITY'S FIRST OPEN RECORDS PORTAL.

THE CITY'S FIRST HIGH SPEED FIBER NETWORK AND THE REGION'S FIRST COMMUNITY SERVICE, ENERGY JPA.

SCOTT'S DEDICATION TO GOOD GOVERNANCE, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY WILL BENEFIT CARLSBAD FOR YEARS TO COME.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, KEITH BLACKBURN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, ALONG WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, RECOGNIZE AND THANK SCOTT CHADWICK FOR HIS OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE.

AND I I'LL JUST SAY, I JOKINGLY SAY THAT I HAVE FOLKS IN CITY HALL WHO ACT LIKE MY MOM AND DAD'S. THEY MAKE SURE I DON'T GET MYSELF INTO MISCHIEF.

THEY'RE CONSTANTLY HELPING ME, CONSTANTLY LETTING ME THROW IDEAS BACK AND FORTH AND CORRECTING ME WHEN MY IDEAS ARE POOR IDEAS.

AND SO I WANT TO THANK OUR STAFF AT CITY HALL AND I'LL CALL YOU OUT BY NAME WHEN YOU WHEN YOU RETIRE.

BUT I'LL JUST SAY RIGHT NOW, SCOTT HAS ACTED LIKE MY DAD AT CITY HALL.

HE'S MADE SURE THAT I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

AND HE WAS THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT I DID THE RIGHT THINGS ALL THE TIME.

AND SCOTT, FOR THAT, YOU MADE MY JOB SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE AND EASIER FOR ME.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND CAROLYN.

I CAN'T EVEN. SO SCOTT ON MY PHONE IS SCOTTY C.

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MATRICULATING ME IN BEAUTIFULLY TO THE COUNCIL AND ALL YOUR DEPARTMENT HEAD BRIEFINGS AND EVERYTHING.

EXQUISITE EXTRAORDINARY CLASS ACT.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU WILL BE VERY, VERY MISSED.

HOWEVER, I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.

VERY, VERY HAPPY.

I THINK THIS IS A FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY.

AND HOPEFULLY THE PORT, YOU'LL SEE THEM UP A BIT.

THANK YOU. MELANIE.

IT'S ONLY. I'LL TAKE ABOUT 20 MINUTES SO I DON'T KNOW.

GET OUT NOTEBOOKS OR RECORDERS OR SOMETHING.

SCOTT. I THANK YOU.

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU.

AND I KIND OF LEARNED THAT YOU'RE UP FOR CHALLENGES.

AND AS THE MOST RECENTLY ELECTED.

NOT REELECTED, BUT ELECTED, I GUESS YOU'RE WELCOME.

BUT I WANT TO SEND YOU AWAY WITH A LITTLE BLESSING.

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU.

MAY THE WIND BLOW AT YOUR BACK.

MAY THE SUN SHINE WARMLY ON YOUR FACE.

AND MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.

[00:30:02]

SO DON'T BE A STRANGER, OKAY? THANK YOU.

TERESA. THANK YOU.

I'M STILL KIND OF A LITTLE IN SHOCK ABOUT ALL OF THIS.

SCOTT, IT'S BEEN SO GREAT WORKING WITH YOU.

OF COURSE, WHEN I CAME ON IN 2020, YOU WERE ALREADY OUR CITY MANAGER, AND I KNEW YOU.

I HAD SEEN YOU AND MET YOU BEFORE.

I WAS ELECTED IN 2020 AND I WAS HOPING, HAVING BEEN REELECTED RECENTLY, THAT WE WOULD STILL GET TO WORK TOGETHER CLOSELY.

BUT I WILL COME FIND YOU AT YOUR AT YOUR NEW JOB.

YOU'RE NOT THAT FAR AWAY.

YOU'RE STILL IN THE REGION.

AND I'M REALLY PROUD TO KNOW YOU AND TO UNDERSTAND YOUR DEPTH OF COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES AUTHENTICALLY AND WITH A FULL HEART.

AND YOU HAVE BEEN THAT PERSON REALLY JUST LOOKING AT THINGS FROM EVERY ANGLE AND TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION FOR THE PUBLIC.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU AND WHAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE HERE IN CARLSBAD.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT AT ANOTHER ROLE IN OUR REGION.

SO YOU'RE NOT LEAVING US, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT ON A REALLY PERSONAL NOTE, NO.

I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR POSITIVITY AND YOUR SENSE OF FAMILY AND TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIVES.

NOT JUST YOUR HOME FAMILY, BUT THE FAMILY HERE, TEAM CARLSBAD.

IT'S BEEN SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU CREATE A CULTURE HERE AMONGST OUR EMPLOYEES THAT CARES ABOUT EACH OTHER AS HUMANS AND ESPECIALLY HAVING BEEN, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH AN ELECTION CYCLE WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN THERE WAS NEGATIVITY, NEGATIVITY OUT THERE.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO BE POSITIVE AND TO FOCUS ON OUR COMMON GOALS, TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND CARE FOR THE PUBLIC.

YOU DO THAT ALL THE TIME, EVERY DAY, AND I'M INSPIRED BY THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE FOR US AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO STAYING IN TOUCH.

PRIYA, I WROTE SOMETHING SO THAT I WOULDN'T GO OFF TRACK.

BUT, WELL, WE BEGAN OUR JOURNEY AROUND THE SAME TIME BACK IN 2018.

YOU HAD JUST STARTED IN THE SUMMER.

AND YOU ALSO WELCOMED A NEWBORN, SO YOU HAD TWO JOURNEYS AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH WAS REALLY EXCITING TO WATCH.

I KNOW I WAS STILL A CANDIDATE WHEN I GOT TO SEE YOU GET SWORN IN, AND I SAW YOUR WHOLE FAMILY UP HERE AND JOINING A FEW MONTHS LATER.

IT'S BEEN SUCH A JOURNEY TO JUST WATCH NOT ONLY YOUR FAMILY GROW AND YOUR DAUGHTER GROW, BUT ALSO JUST HOW YOU'VE, YOU KNOW, WORKED HERE WITHIN OUR CITY.

I THINK UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, WE'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH HERE IN THE CITY.

YOU'VE HELPED GUIDE CARLSBAD THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING TIMES THAT WE'VE SEEN, WHETHER IT WAS DURING THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC OR JUST ENSURING OVERALL THAT OUR CITY CONTINUES TO BE A SAFE, VIBRANT AND THRIVING COMMUNITY.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE MILESTONES AND SOME OF THEM WERE MENTIONED IN YOUR PROCLAMATION, BUT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THESE SINCE THESE WERE ONES THAT STUCK OUT FOR ME.

BUT CLOSING OUR STRUCTURAL DEFICIT AND SECURING A STABLE FINANCIAL FUTURE FOR THE CITY, OPENING NEW RECREATIONAL SPACES TO SERVE OUR GROWING COMMUNITY. PIONEERING REGIONAL SAFETY INITIATIVES LIKE CHAMPIONING E-BIKE SAFETY LEGISLATION, WHICH HAS LED TO SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN COLLISIONS.

ENHANCING OUR REPUTATION AS A HUB OF INNOVATION, WHICH CLEARLY EARNED US THE RECOGNITION OF ONE OF THE NATION'S TOP TEN DIGITAL CITIES, AND THE ONE THAT I THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IS FOSTERING A CULTURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, PROFESSIONALISM AND TEAMWORK THAT WILL HAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON OUR ORGANIZATION'S CULTURE.

AND I KNOW THAT THROUGH IT ALL, YOUR ABILITY TO TACKLE DIFFICULT CHALLENGES WITH A STEADY HAND AND CLEAR VISION HAS BEEN A HALLMARK OF YOUR LEADERSHIP.

YOU ALWAYS PUT EVERYONE ELSE FIRST, AND I THINK THAT'S THE TRUE EXAMPLE OF A LEADER IS PUTTING EVERYONE ELSE FIRST BESIDES YOURSELF.

AND I THINK YOU'VE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO MAKE IT A BETTER ORGANIZATION, A BETTER COMMUNITY.

AND AS YOU CONTINUE ON TO THIS NEXT ROLE, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THAT DEDICATION, CREATIVITY AND HEART TO THAT MISSION.

WE'RE GOING TO BE OBVIOUSLY, I THINK ALL OF US ARE SAD TO SEE YOU GO, BUT ALSO PROUD OF YOU AND EXCITED FOR THIS NEXT STEP IN YOUR JOURNEY.

AND SO JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND WE'RE WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THE BEST IN THIS NEXT CHAPTER.

[CITY MANAGER COMMENTS]

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

[00:35:03]

YOU TRULY WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR BUSINESSES, AND THAT COMES ACROSS IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR CITY LEADERSHIP TEAM.

YOU'RE AMONG THE FINEST MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT TEAMS IN THE STATE.

WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WORKING TOGETHER, I BASICALLY HAD THREE RULES.

NO SURPRISES.

NO SILOS.

AND TO BE THE BEST, YOU EMBRACED ALL THREE.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU WERE ABLE TO.

WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SO MANY GREAT THINGS FOR THE CITY.

FINALLY, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE TRUE HEROES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

AND THAT'S EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR STAFF.

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, I'M TRULY IN AWE OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.

YOU TURNED ON A DIME IN COVID.

AFTER COVID, WE SAW A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN E-BIKE COLLISIONS.

YOU RALLIED AGAIN, AND WE WORKED SEVEN DAYS A WEEK TO TURN THE TIDE, ESPECIALLY AROUND OUR SCHOOLS.

THIS WAS A FULL COURT PRESS INVOLVING EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY AND THAT.

AND WE DID MOVE THE NEEDLE 19% IN ONE YEAR TO MAKE SURE OUR STREETS WERE SAFE.

WE HAD SOME INCREDIBLY BIG PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES.

BUT REALLY, OUR FOCUS ALL ALONG CONTINUED TO BE BRILLIANT AT THE BASICS BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.

GETS YOU IN TROUBLE. SO THE TEAM THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SURROUND MYSELF WITH HAVE TRULY BEEN BRILLIANT AT THE BASICS.

AND FOR THAT, I'LL, I'M FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT.

TEAM CARLSBAD IS WORKING EVERY DAY, WHETHER KEEPING OUR PARKS CLEAN, MAKING SURE OUR SEWER PIPES ARE WELL MAINTAINED, OR FIXING THE CRACKED SIDEWALKS.

THIS IS A DAY TO DAY WORK OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

IT'S IMPORTANT WORK, AND IT MAKES THE LIVES OF THOSE THAT WE SERVE ALL THE MORE BETTER.

SO I GOT TO TELL YOU, I AM SAD TO LEAVE, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN GOOD HANDS.

I'VE WORKED SIDE BY SIDE WITH JEFF PATNEO NOW FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS NOW.

HE'S NOT ONLY A SOLID INDIVIDUAL, BUT HE'S ALSO SOMEONE WHO TRULY CARES ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

IN FACT, HE MIGHT BE A BIGGER GOVERNMENT NERD THAN I AM.

SO JUST KNOW I'VE ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED EVERY MOMENT, GOOD AND BAD.

BECAUSE THE BAD YOU LEARN.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THIS.

THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

AND DON'T WORRY, I WON'T BE A STRANGER.

SO. ALL RIGHT.
