1. Carlsbad, CA 92011 (redfin.com) — Carlsbad's Planned Community (P-C) zoning rules shape how large, master-planned neighborhoods in the 92011 area are built, from housing types to parks and community facilities. The code emphasizes coordinated planning between developers and the city, phased growth, and reserving sites for community-serving uses like social, religious, and human services facilities.
   

2. Big waves and high tides could cause coastal erosion in San Diego County through Wednesday (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Expect unusually large waves and very high tides along the Carlsbad coastline through late Wednesday, raising the risk of coastal erosion and dangerous rip currents. Forecasters say warm water tied to El Niño and swells from former Hurricane Odalys will push surf into the 3- to 6-foot range, especially during the highest morning tides.
   

3. Who's News: 10/2/26 (thecoastnews.com) — Carlsbad gets a shout-out as resident Clayton Austin is named a CalABLE ambassador, using his family's experience to help others navigate disability savings. The column also notes a Carlsbad graduate's college milestone and shares nearby North County art, education, and health updates that local families may want to explore.
   

4. Celebrity publicist rescues unconscious surfer from rough Los Angeles surf (internewscast.com) — A Carlsbad woman walking in nearby Oceanside jumped into rough surf to keep an unconscious surfer's head above water after a powerful wave slammed him into rocks. Drawing on her old lifeguard training, she held him in place until others helped pull him ashore and paramedics arrived, suffering cuts and bruises herself during the dramatic rescue.
