findings contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The city proposes to implement four Housing Element programs through amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance, Village Master Plan and Design Manual, and Local Coastal Program.
Implementation of the programs is necessary to comply with state law, which requires local
governments to identify sites (e.g., land use zones or districts) and remove governmental
constraints (e.g., restrictive standards) to facilitate and encourage development of a variety of
housing for all income levels. “Variety of housing” specifically includes emergency shelters,
farmworker housing, managed living units, and transitional and supportive housing. State law
does not require cities to develop housing but instead to provide appropriate standards to enable
developers to do so.
The Housing Element programs, a brief summary of their relevant objectives, and the project
numbers assigned to each are as follows:

A. Program 3.13: Farm Labor Housing (Farmworker Housing) (ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-
03). Amend the Zoning Ordinance to comply with state law to permit, by right or
conditionally, farmworker housing where agricultural uses are also permitted by right
or conditionally;
B. Program 3.14: Housing for the Homeless (Emergency Shelter) (ZCA 09-05/LCPA
09-04). Amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit, by right or conditionally, year-round
emergency shelters in the M and P-M zones;
C. Program 3.15: Transitional and Supportive Housing (ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08).
Amend the Zoning Ordinance to define and permit, by right or conditionally, these
specific housing types; also, revise the definition and standards regarding residential
care facilities; and
D. Program 3.17: Alternative Housing (Managed Living Units) (LCPA 95-10(B)).
Amend the Village Master Plan and Design Manual to provisionally permit managed
living units. Note that this program only affects the Village area and does not require
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed amendments achieve the objectives of the four Housing Element programs. They
are also consistent with the policies of the General Plan and Local Coastal Program (LCP). Since
the Village Master Plan and Design Manual serves as the LCP for the Village area, its proposed
amendment also needs a Local Coastal Program Amendment. The Village Master Plan and
Design Manual also regulates Village land uses both inside and outside of the coastal zone;
however, it is a “master plan” in name only and revisions to it require only an amendment to the
LCP.
The city adopted the Housing Element in December 2009; it was certified by the state in March
2010. The Housing Element addresses Carlsbad housing needs through the end of this year. An
updated Housing Element for the 2013 – 2020 housing cycle will be proposed for adoption as
part of the General Plan update in early 2013.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The California Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living
environment for every resident as the state’s major housing goal. Local implementation of this
goal is accomplished largely through the Housing Element. A Housing Element has two main
purposes:
Assess both current and future housing needs and the constraints in meeting those needs;
Provide a strategy that establishes the housing goals, policies and programs necessary to
meet those needs.
Carlsbad’s Housing Element contains an analysis of housing needs and constraints, resources
available to help meet needs, and a plan that identifies the city’s housing strategy. Part of the
housing plan are the four housing element programs described above, all adopted to comply with
state law.
For example, Government Code Section 65583 requires cities to remove governmental
constraints and identify sites to facilitate and encourage development of a variety of housing for
ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-03/ZCA 09-05/LCPA 09-04/ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08/LCPA 95-10(B) –

all income levels, including farm worker and transitional and supportive housing, homeless
shelters, and managed living units. While jurisdictions are not required to provide or construct
housing, they must enable developers or others to do so through appropriate standards. By
explicitly defining and identifying these different uses in the Zoning Ordinance and Village
Master Plan and Design Manual, the recommended zone code and local coastal program
amendments accomplish this state mandate.
State law establishes the parameters for the permitting of and standards for farm worker housing,
transitional and supportive housing, and emergency shelters. These parameters, which limit a
jurisdiction’s zoning powers, are as follows:
Transitional and supportive housing are considered residential uses if they contain no
more than six persons. If a zone allows residential uses by right and the transitional or
supportive housing meets the six person occupancy limitation, they must be allowed by
right as would any other residential use in the zone. Further, they are subject only to those
restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone.
Although discussed together throughout this report, transitional and supportive housing
are independent uses.
Farmworker housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units or
spaces designed for use by a single family or household shall be deemed an agricultural
land use. No conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning clearance shall be
required of this employee housing that is not required of any other agricultural activity in
the same zone (California Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6).
Emergency shelters must be permitted by right in at least one zone without a conditional
use permit or other discretionary action. The zone must have sufficient capacity (e.g.,
vacant sites or available buildings) to accommodate the need for emergency shelters,
including at least one year-round emergency shelter. Shelters shall be subject to
development and management standards that apply to other uses in the same zone.
Objective standards relating to maximum number of beds, on-site management, length of
stay and security may also be applied.
Permit and land use standards for managed living units are not similarly restricted; nevertheless,
cities must provide and identify sites for a “variety of housing for all income levels,” including
managed living units.
A. Farm Labor Housing (Farmworker Housing)
As mentioned previously, California Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6 deems farmworker
housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units or spaces designed for
use by a single family or household as an agricultural land use. California Health and Safety
Code Section 17008(a)(1) defines the types of conventional and non-conventional housing
structures which are acceptable as farmworker housing, such as any living quarters, dwelling,
boardinghouse, tent, barracks and bunkhouses, mobile home, manufactured home, recreational
vehicle, travel trailer, or other housing accommodations. The housing can only be occupied by
farmworkers or farmworkers and their households. Farmworkers or farmworkers and their
households may occupy the housing for temporary, seasonal, or permanent residence.
ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-03/ZCA 09-05/LCPA 09-04/ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08/LCPA 95-10(B) –
HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

Consistent with state law, the proposed zone code amendment would define a “small”
farmworker housing complex as consisting of conventional and non-conventional structures
housing up to 36 farmworkers or 12 units/spaces. A small farmworker housing complex would
be permitted as an agricultural use. Since most zones in the city permit agricultural uses, a small
farmworker housing complex would be permitted in most zones as well.
The proposed amendment also would define a “large” farmworker housing complex. A large
farmworker housing complex would consist of housing for more than 36 farmworkers or more
than 12 units/spaces. It would be allowed in the Industrial (M) Zone only upon the issuance of a
conditional use permit by the City Council.
The Employee Housing Act, found in the California Health and Safety Code, allows for
flexibility in housing types for farmworker housing, including the conventional and non-
conventional structures previously described. The laws and regulations governing these
structures depends on the housing type; however, all employee housing must comply with: the
Employee Housing Act (Health and Safety Code Section 17000 et. seq.) and the Employee
Housing Regulations (Title 25 – Housing and Community Development), which outline specific
requirements for the construction of housing, maintenance of grounds, buildings, sleeping space
and facilities, sanitation and heating; and the provisions of this section.
The property owner must obtain all permits and/or approvals from the City of Carlsbad, as
applicable, and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) pursuant
to Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. A farmworker housing complex may require a
building permit, and if located in the coastal zone, may also require a coastal development permit
issued according to the provisions of Section 21.201of this title.
B. Housing for the Homeless (Emergency Shelter)
An emergency shelter is a year-round facility with minimal supportive services that houses
homeless persons or families on a limited short-term basis (six months or less); typically,
housing is provided in a group quarters, or dormitory-style accommodation. The Zoning
Ordinance does not currently reference emergency shelters directly, although churches may
provide temporary shelter.
Emergency shelters will be required to be operated under the authority of a governing agency or
private, non-profit organization that provides, or that contracts with recognized community
organizations, such as Catholic Charities, to provide emergency shelters and which, when
required by law, are properly registered and licensed. The shelters will comply with all property
development standards of the zone in which they are located. In addition, Section 65883(4)(A) of
the Government Code allows cities to apply written, objective standards that include the
following: 1) maximum number of beds or persons permitted to be served nightly by the facility;
2) number of off-street parking spaces based upon demonstrated need; 3) size and location of
exterior and interior onsite waiting and client intake areas; 4) the proximity to other emergency
shelters; 5) length of stay; 6) lighting; and 7) security during hours that the emergency shelter is
in operation, etc.
ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-03/ZCA 09-05/LCPA 09-04/ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08/LCPA 95-10(B) –
HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
July 3, 2012
PAGE 5
Emergency shelters will have a maximum number of beds or persons. No more than 30 beds
shall be provided and no more than 30 persons shall be served in any single emergency shelter,
except as authorized by a Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council pursuant to
Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (C.M.C.).
C. Transitional and Supportive Housing
As its name implies, transitional housing is rental housing intended to help homeless persons
transition from homelessness to permanent housing. It can take several forms, including group
quarters with beds (such as a dormitory), single-family homes, and multi-family apartments.
Based on its definition in state law, transitional housing is operated as part of a program that
typically offers case management and support services. After a predetermined period of time
(usually between 6 and 24 months), an individual’s or family’s ability to use transitional housing
is terminated and the housing is made available to another recipient. North County Solutions
for Change in Vista, which seeks to equip families with the skills necessary to end their
homelessness, is an example of transitional housing.
Conversely, supportive housing provides a permanent living situation. The California Health and
Safety Code define supportive housing as housing with no limit on length of stay. Furthermore,
the definition notes supportive housing “…is linked to onsite or offsite services that assist the
resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her
ability to live and, when possible, work in the community.” Like transitional housing, supportive
housing can also occur as group quarters or as single or multi-family dwellings.
Also, supportive housing is intended to serve a “target population,” which includes persons with
disabilities and persons or families who are homeless. An example of supportive housing is the
Alpha Project’s “Hotel Metro,” a 193-unit complex of single-room-occupancy units for low-
income men and women in Downtown San Diego. According to the organization’s website,
resident services include guaranteed access to medical care, on-site counseling and food bank,
transportation assistance, and clothing and hygiene supplies, among others.
The proposed amendment would revise the Zoning Ordinance to define and permit or
conditionally permit transitional and supportive housing in residential and in commercial zones
that permit residential uses (These zones are C-1, C-2 and C-L, which allow residences in a
mixed use format above ground-floor commercial uses.). Transitional and supportive housing of
six or fewer persons would be considered a residential use, would be permitted in all residential
zones and the three commercial zones, and would be subject to the same standards as any other
residential use. If such housing included more than six persons such as in a group living quarters
(e.g., a residence occupied by more than six people typically unrelated and not in a typical
household-type living arrangement), it would be conditionally permitted.
Transitional and supportive housing share similarities with residential care facilities. Residential
care facilities are state licensed family or group homes for people needing 24-hour non-medical
care. Presently, the Zoning Ordinance identifies residential care facilities serving six or fewer
persons as permitted uses in nearly every residential zone. When such facilities serve more than
six people, they require a conditional use permit and are allowed only in the R-3, R-P and RD-M
ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-03/ZCA 09-05/LCPA 09-04/ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08/LCPA 95-10(B) –

PAGE 6
zones. Transitional and supportive housing that also serve more than six persons are also
proposed to be conditionally permitted only in these zones.
As the present Zoning Ordinance definition and standards for residential care facilities were
adopted in 1976, staff has analyzed and revised them as part of its work on transitional and
supportive housing. The proposed definition is consistent with the state definition for residential
care facilities. Minor updating of standards applicable to residential care facilities of more than
six persons is also proposed. The updating provides clarity by indicating provisions may apply
regarding hours of operation, security, loading, noise, loitering and location and screening of
parking and service areas. None of the proposed changes would expand the number of zones
where residential care facilities are now conditionally permitted.
Since transitional and supportive housing and residential care facilities in a group quarters format
are similar, the revisions to residential care facility standards would apply also to transitional and
supportive housing. Likewise, parking requirements also would be the same.
Finally, some zones (e.g., RMHP) do not expressly list residential care facilities serving six or
fewer persons as a permitted use. There is no reason these zones should not as such facilities are
considered residential uses. The proposed amendment corrects this deficiency.
D. Alternative Housing (Managed Living Units)
Managed living units are small (150 to 350 square feet), individual dwelling units with limited
features. They are developed in a multiple-family dwelling format as part of a managed living
unit project. Managed living units are rentals intended for occupancy by 1 or 2 persons only and
for tenancies of one month or longer. At a minimum, individual units have partial kitchens and
private toilets. Units may share common showers or bathtubs. They are intentionally limited in
size and features and required to be conveniently near to transit and commercial services. These
standards enable managed living units to serve as a viable affordable housing option for lower
income persons and help the City meet Housing Element and state law objectives to provide a
variety of housing types for all income levels.
Managed Living Units are considered dwelling units and therefore subject to Growth
Management requirements. They are also subject to the minimum and maximum densities and all
other applicable limitations established by the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. Managed
living units are like single room occupancy units (SROs), a term commonly used in other cities.
Examples of SRO projects near downtown San Diego may be found at the website,
www.affordablehousingsd.com.
Managed living units are presently permitted as a “provisional use” in certain land use districts
of the Village. A provisional use is similar to a conditional use and is subject to special
considerations, findings, and conditions. While identifying it as provisional use, the Village
Master Plan and Design Manual contains no standards for managed living units; instead, it defers
to the Carlsbad Municipal Code for requirements. During preparation of the Village Master Plan
and Design Manual in the 1990s, the city anticipated allowing managed living unit projects in
other parts of Carlsbad as well. However, because of the urban nature of the Village, its
proximity to transit and services and allowance for higher densities, staff is proposing managed
ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-03/ZCA 09-05/LCPA 09-04/ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08/LCPA 95-10(B) –

living unit projects be allowed only in the Village. All land use districts (4-8) in which managed
living units are now provisionally permitted are east of the railroad tracks and permit or
provisionally permit a mix of residential, commercial, office, and light industrial uses.
Standards for managed living units are drafted to comply with applicable codes (such as
California Building Code requirements for minimum floor areas), to provide laundry facilities,
common areas, and other conveniences for residents, and to recognize the urban nature of the
Village. This latter recognition is accomplished through increased bicycle parking requirements
and opportunities for reduced vehicle parking, which potentially could be achieved, for example,
based on an applicant’s successful demonstration of increased transit ridership by project
residents.
Proposed standards also include findings. The findings require managed living unit projects to be
consistent with Village Master Plan and Design Manual goals and objectives and within
convenient walking distance of services and transit. A decision-maker must also find that
projects would be unlikely to negatively impact their surroundings; in this regard, standards
require preparation of a management plan to ensure ongoing neighborhood compatibility.
Finally, an additional finding states, “To the extent feasible, the project helps the City meet
Housing Element and state law objectives to provide a variety of housing for persons of all
income levels, with an emphasis on housing for lower income individuals.” This finding
emphasizes the importance in providing affordable housing and helping the city meet its
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), which is a forecast of needed housing to
accommodate growth across all income levels.
Application of inclusionary requirements is the city’s primary method to provide housing
affordable to lower income households. However, because managed living units are rental units,
they are subject to inclusionary housing requirements in limited circumstances only. For rental
projects, inclusionary requirements apply only (1) if a developer receives direct financial
assistance, offsets, or any incentive (e.g., modification of development standards) of the type
specified in density bonus law pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Chapter 21.86 and (2) the
developer agrees by contract to limit rents for below market-rate rental units. Additionally, a
developer may voluntarily agree to provide inclusionary rental units.
Considering the limitations on applying inclusionary requirements to rental projects, this
additional finding emphasizes the importance of planning and designing managed living unit
projects with affordability in mind.

Managed living units are presently
permitted as a “provisional use” in
certain land use districts of the
Village. A provisional use is
similar to a conditional use and is
subject to special considerations,
findings, and conditions. The
amendment to the Village Master
Plan and Design Manual will
establish standards to ensure,
among other things, that the
development of managed living

maintain compatibility with other
Village uses.

the managed living units with their
surroundings. Managed living
units will also be required to be
conveniently located near transit
and commercial services to reduce
the need for the automobile and
encourage more walking in the
Village and public transportation
use. Managed living units
represent an alternative housing
option in the Village.
Yes
B. Local Coastal Program Amendment
The policies of the Local Coastal Program emphasize topics such as preservation of agricultural
lands and scenic resources, protection of environmentally sensitive resources, provision of
shoreline access, and prevention of geologic instability and erosion.
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Village Master Plan and Design Manual
(which serves to implement the Local Coastal Program in the Village area) would be consistent
with the policies of the Local Coastal Program, including the public access and recreation
policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. The amendments only propose land use standards (no

development), and do not change or conflict with Coastal Act requirements to protect water-
oriented recreation or public views, maintain public access, and maintain biological resources.
Furthermore, the amendments will not conflict with any coastal zone regulations, land use
designations or policies with which development must comply.
The proposed amendments do not exempt development from a Coastal Development Permit that
is not otherwise exempt. A Coastal Development Permit will still be required for applicable
development and discretionary review would ensure that the proposed development is consistent
with the policies of the Local Coastal Program. By processing these Local Coastal Program
Amendments, consistency between the city’s Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program and
between the Village Master Plan and Design Manual and Local Coastal Program, would be
maintained. Given the above, the addition of the procedures and development regulations
governing housing for the homeless; housing for farmworkers; transitional and supportive
housing; and managed living units are consistent with the Local Coastal Program.
C. Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
Transitional and supportive housing, emergency shelters and farmworker housing would be
permitted or conditionally permitted in areas near McClellan-Palomar Airport. Accordingly, a
compatibility analysis of these proposed uses with the airport’s Land Use Compatibility Plan
(ALUCP) is required. For example, where a use may be permitted by city zoning, it could be
precluded by the ALUCP because of airport safety and noise considerations. Therefore, this
analysis is necessary in part to ensure there are adequate sites available for these uses that are not
incompatible with airport safety and noise restrictions.
Managed living units are not included in this analysis since they would be located within the
Village area only and thus outside the safety zones, noise contours and influence area of the
airport.
Transitional and supportive housing would be permitted in the city’s residential zones. In relation
to the airport, these zones are mostly developed and are compatible with airport safety zones.
Most residential areas of the city are also outside (below) the 60 dB exterior airport noise contour
and therefore not subject to the noise provisions of the ALUCP. Limited exceptions occur in
existing developments west of the airport and south of Palomar Airport Road. Here, exterior
noise generated by airplanes must be attenuated to an acceptable indoor noise level; this can be
accomplished typically through standard construction methods.
Emergency shelters, proposed as permitted or conditionally permitted uses in the P-M and M
zones, represent compatible uses in Safety Zone 6 and conditionally compatible uses in Safety
Zones 2-5. According to the ALUCP, Safety Zone 6 is larger than and encompasses all other
safety zones; relative to those other zones, risks in Zone 6 are much lower, but are still greater
than in locations more distant from the airport.
Most P-M and M-zoned properties are within or outside Safety Zone 6. As an example, La
Posada de Guadalupe, a private, 50 bed homeless shelter/farmworker housing facility recently
approved by the city for expansion to 120 beds, is located in the M Zone and Safety Zone 6.
ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-03/ZCA 09-05/LCPA 09-04/ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08/LCPA 95-10(B) –

Similarly, locating an emergency shelter would not be constrained by airport noise as the
majority of P-M and M zoned properties are outside the 60 dB exterior noise contour.
Farmworker housing can also be found consistent with ALUCP, although the analysis to make
this determination is more involved. Farmworker housing can be proposed in different forms
(e.g., individual units, group quarters, non-conventional structures) and in residential and non-
residential zones.
A proposed farmworker housing complex (large or small) in a group quarters format would be
similar to an emergency shelter and compatible in Safety Zone 6. Alternatively, a farmworker
housing complex consisting of conventional attached or detached units or structures (as opposed
to a group quarters format) likely would be considered a residential use from an ALUCP
standpoint. Thus, it would be subject to the noise and safety compatibility criteria for residential
uses. Depending on density and location in relation to safety zones, a complex of conventional
units or structures would be compatible, conditional, or incompatible with the ALUCP.
Regardless of density, residential uses are compatible in Safety Zone 6, which encompasses the
majority of properties within McClellan-Palomar’s influence area.
Finally, a proposed farmworker housing complex consisting of non-conventional structures (e.g.,
tents and RVs) would be permitted in Safety Zone 6 and conditionally compatible in Safety
Zones 3 and 4. However, non-building and outdoor uses would likely be prohibited in certain
areas due their inability to attenuate noise. Most properties on which farmworker housing
complexes with non-conventional structures could locate near the airport, conversely, are within
Safety Zone 6 and outside such restrictive airport noise contours.
D. Growth Management
The Growth Management Program, in accordance with Proposition E, establishes dwelling unit
caps for each quadrant in the city. The city regularly tracks residential development to ensure
these caps are not exceeded.
The Zoning Ordinance defines “dwelling unit” as “one or more rooms in a dwelling or apartment
house and designed for occupancy by one family for living or sleeping purposes, and having only
one kitchen.” The Zoning Ordinance defines “family” as, in part, “one or more persons living
together in a dwelling unit, with common access to, and common use of all living, kitchen, and
eating areas within the dwelling unit...”
Emergency shelters would not be considered dwelling units as they are not designed for
occupancy by one family. This exclusion would also apply to farmworker housing complexes
and transitional and supportive housing proposed in a group quarters format. Therefore, if these
housing types were proposed, they would not be subject to the quadrant dwelling unit caps.
Managed living units and transitional and supportive housing serving no more than six persons
would be considered dwelling units. Similarly, units in a farmworker housing complex designed
for occupancy by an individual or family also could be considered dwelling units if they had
kitchens; these housing types would be subject to the quadrant dwelling unit caps.
ZCA 09-04/LCPA 09-03/ZCA 09-05/LCPA 09-04/ZCA 11-07/LCPA 11-08/LCPA 95-10(B) –
HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

All housing types, whether or not dwelling unit limitations apply, would need to comply with all
other Growth Management standards, such as those requiring adequate sewer and water
facilities.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project falls within the scope of a previously approved Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Staff has analyzed the project and has concluded that no potentially significant impacts would
result with the implementation of the amendments that were not previously examined and
evaluated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program for the 2005-2010 Housing Element (GPA 03-02), dated December 22, 2009. The
MND for GPA 03-02 comprehensively evaluated the potential environmental effects of future
housing facilitated by implementation of Housing Element programs, including development of
housing (including farmworker housing) and emergency shelters.
The proposed amendments are consistent with and would have no effects beyond those analyzed
in the MND. This project is within the scope of the MND for GPA 03-02 and no further CEQA
compliance is required. The MND for GPA 03-02 is available at the Planning Department.

21.10.125 – Farmworker housing complex standards.
A. Purpose.
1. The purpose of this section is to establish standards to ensure that the development of farmworker housing complexes does not adversely impact adjacent parcels or the surrounding neighborhood and that they are developed in a manner which protects the
health, safety, and general welfare of the nearby residents and businesses, and the character of the City of Carlsbad.
2. The Employee Housing Act allows for flexibility in housing types for farmworker housing, including conventional and non-conventional structures, such as: living quarters, boardinghouse, tent, bunkhouse, mobilehome, manufactured home, recreational vehicle and
travel trailers. The laws and regulations governing these structures depends on the housing type; however, all employee housing must comply with: the Employee Housing Act (Health and Safety Code Section 17000); the Employee Housing Regulations (Title 25 – Housing and Community Development), which outline specific requirements for the construction of housing, maintenance of grounds, buildings, sleeping space and facilities, sanitation and heating; and the provisions of this section.
B. The provisions of this section shall apply to: 1) single-family zones E-A, R-A, R-E, R-T, R-W, RD-M, L-C and R-1, areas designated by a master plan for single-family detached
dwellings in P-C zones where agricultural uses are allowed; 2) lots within multifamily zones R-2, R-3, R-P and RMHP; 3) commercial, office and industrial zones C-1, O, C-2, C-T, C-M, C-L, M, P-M and P-U; and 4) open space zones O-S and CR-A/OS, which are developed
with a farmworker dwelling unit or farmworker housing complex.
C. The property owner shall obtain all permits and/or approvals from the City of Carlsbad, as applicable, and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
pursuant to Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. A farmworker dwelling unit or farmworker housing complex may require a building permit, and if located in the coastal zone, may also require a coastal development permit issued according to the provisions of
Section 21.201 of this title.
D. A farmworker housing complex shall meet the setback, lot coverage, height, and other development standards applicable to the zone in which it is located. Additionally, a
farmworker dwelling unit or farmworker housing complex shall be located not less than 75 feet from barns, pens, or other structures that house livestock or poultry, pursuant to Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, and not less than 50 feet from any other
agricultural and non-agricultural use.
E. All permanent farmworker housing shall provide landscaping around the entire perimeter
of the housing to shield the housing from adjacent structures.
F. Parking shall be as required by Chapter 21.44.
G. Farmworker housing complexes shall comply, as applicable, with the following: 1)
Employee Housing Act (California Health and Safety Code Sections 17000 – 17062); 2) Mobilehome Parks Act (California Health and Safety Code Sections 18200 – 18700); and Special Occupancy Parks Act (California Health and Safety Code Sections 18860 – 18874).
H. Within 30 days after approval from the City of Carlsbad for farmworker housing, the applicant shall record in the office of the County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk a
ATTACHMENT 8

covenant running with the land for the benefit of the City of Carlsbad, declaring that the farmworker housing will continuously be maintained as such in accordance with Chapter
21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and also that:
1. The applicant will obtain and maintain, for as long as the farmworker housing is operated, the appropriate permit(s) from State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) pursuant to the Employee Housing Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder;
2. The improvements required by the City of Carlsbad related to the farmworker housing shall be constructed and/or installed, and continuously maintained by the applicant;
3. The applicant will submit the annual verification form to the City Planner as required by Section 22.10.125(I); and 4. Any violation of the covenant and agreement required by this section shall be subject to the enforcement procedures of Title 1 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
I. The property owner shall, if applicable: 1) complete and submit to the City Planner a verification form no later than 30 days after receiving a permit to operate from HCD; 2) a
verification form shall be submitted to the City Planner annually to ensure compliance with Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and 3) the verification form shall include: information regarding the agricultural use, housing type, number of dwelling units or beds,
number of occupants, occupants’ employment information, and proof that a permit to operate from HCD has been obtained and maintained.
J. Farmworker housing complex shall be removed from the property within 90 days of
termination of the property’s use from agricultural production.
