How to Participate
Wow! The city thanks all of the Carlsbad community members who have participated in Envision Carlsbad! Carlsbad residents take pride in their community, but they also have busy lives with family, work and other commitments that absorb their time and attention. That’s why the community participation in Envision Carlsbad has been so impressive.

Past workshops include:
- March 23, 2009 at the City of Carlsbad Safety Center
- March 25, 2009 at the Tri-City Wellness Center
- April 15, 2009 at Aviara Oaks Elementary School

Public Opinion Visioning Survey Report
For those who were not able to participate in the workshops, survey, or stakeholder interviews, or are looking for more opportunities to participate:
- Attend an Envison Carlsbad Citizens' Committee Meeting - A City Council appointed citizens' group called Envision Carlsbad Citizens' Committee (EC2) is holding meetings open to the public. Check this Web site for meeting days and times.
- Community Vision Report - In the fall 2009, a draft report will be shared with the community. The Community Vision report will reflect the community’s input received during the Envision Carlsbad community visioning process. Prior to taking the Community Vision report to the City Council, city staff will share the draft report with the community to ensure that it reflects the community’s vision for Carlsbad’s future.
- Coastal Program (LCP) and Zoning Ordinance - After the City Council adopts the Community Vision report, one of the next steps to implement the community's vision is a comprehensive update to city policies and implementing ordinances (General Plan, Local Coastal Program and Zoning Ordinance). A scope of work for the update process has not been identified yet, but additional public participation will be a significant part of the process - stay tuned and check this Web site for updates. ·
