How to Participate

Committee meeting for Envision CarlsbadWow! 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.  

Envision Carlsbad Phase 2

Although the exact dates have not been scheduled yet, the following is an estimated schedule for the community workshops that will be held during Envision Carlsbad Phase 2:

  • December 2010 – Environmental Impact Report scoping meeting
  • January 2011 – Barrio community workshop
  • February 2011 – Development stakeholders workshop
  • February 2011 – Housing stakeholders workshop
  • Early fall 2011 – Communitywide workshops (four)
  • Late fall 2011 – Housing Element open house
  • Late fall 2012 – Community open house to view the draft General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and Zoning Ordinance

This website will be updated when specific dates are scheduled for each workshop.  Workshop dates will also be advertised through newsletters and invitations.  Read the Envision Carlsbad Phase 2 Work Program for more information about the objective of each workshop.

Envision Carlsbad Phase 1

In March and April 2009, approximately 265 community members attended at least one of the following four community workshops:

  • 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
  • April 16, 2009 at the City of Carlsbad Senior Center

Read the Community Workshops Report to find out what the community told us during the workshops about their vision for the Carlsbad’s future.

Envision Carlsbad Phase 2

In early fall 2011, a community survey will be conducted.  The purpose of the survey will be to identify the community’s opinion about choices, tradeoffs, and alternative approaches to implementing the Carlsbad Community Vision.

Envision Carlsbad Phase 1

From March 2009 through May 2009, more than 7,000 Carlsbad residents responded to the Envision Carlsbad city-wide survey!  That is about a 17% household response rate, which is one of the highest response rates that city staff and their consultants have seen!  Great job Carlsbad residents!

Read the Public Opinion Visioning Survey Report to find out what the community told us through the survey about their vision for the Carlsbad’s future.

Envision Carlsbad Phase 2

In addition to the workshops that will be held for the development and housing communities (see information listed under the community workshops tab), stakeholder interviews will be conducted to identify issues related to the Zoning Ordinance, as well as the city’s master, specific and other area plans.  Stakeholder interviews are anticipated to occur in late fall 2010 (zoning issues) and summer 2012 (master, specific, and area plan issues).

Envision Carlsbad Phase 1

From January 2009 through May 2009, city staff and consultants have interviewed 81 community groups and organizations, including local businesses, non-profit and volunteer organizations, youth groups, arts and cultural organizations, libraries, medical centers, sports groups, specific neighborhoods, and organizations that represent the interests of affordable housing, the homeless, and people with disabilities.

Read the Carlsbad Stakeholder Interviews Report to find out what the community told us through the stakeholder interviews about their vision for Carlsbad’s future.

In addition to the workshops, survey, and stakeholder interviews that will be held during Envision Carlsbad Phase 2, other opportunities to participate include:
