Smart Growth & Sustainability
Conservation
Our coastline, lagoons, and open space are not amenities for the highest bidder — they're shared inheritance. Conservation is how we keep them.
01
Protect the coast
Plan for sea level rise and erosion now, with living shorelines and sand management that don't sacrifice public beach access.
02
Water that lasts
Conservation, recycled water, and drought-ready landscaping across city facilities and new development.
03
Open space and habitat
Defend the San Luis Rey River corridor, our lagoons, and urban tree canopy from short-sighted development.
04
Green city operations
Energy-efficient buildings, cleaner fleets, and waste reduction that save the city money over time.
