Such uses may include, but are not limited to churches, or hospitals. These and other unique types of uses cannot be automatically placed within any “A City which provides for a variety of housing types and density ranges to meet the diverse economic and social requirements of residents.. . I” particular land use classification and must be reviewed on an individual site basis through the conditional use permit process (Title 21, Chapter 21.42, Carlsbad Municipal Code). Discussed below are descriptions of the land use classifications including population density and building intensity permitted within each classifi- cation. 1. RESIDENTIAL Density is the unit of measure used to compare and describe the intensity of residential land use. Different categories of density constitute policy statements used in establishing the public facility requirements for each area. Density allocations are not intended to specifically identify building types but rather intensity of use. The City’s goals regarding the need for specific types of residential housing are contained in the Housing Element. That element should be referred to for more detailed information regarding the housing needs of the community and an integrated set of goals, policies and programs to assist the community in meeting those needs. Five ranges of residential density, as shown below, have been incorporated into the General Plan. Each of these categories is implemented by one or more zone classifications that contains specific site development standards. The City also has a specific mobile home park zoning classification although individual mobile homes are permitted in any dmstty residential land use classification. Notwithstandinn the densitv provisions and intent of each residential land use desinnation, as specified below, a one-family dwelling shall be permitted on any legal lot that existed as of October 28, 2004. and which is designated and zoned for residential use. Anv proposal to subdivide land or construct more than one dwelling shall be subject to the densitv and intent of the underlving residential land use designation. a. b. Low Densitv (RL): Low density residential intended to be developed with smgk one- family dwellings on parcels one-half acre or larger at a densitv between 0 to 1.5 units per acre. On sites containinq sensitive biological resources, as identified in the Carlsbad Habitat Mananement Plan, development other than one-familv dwellinns may be approved with a planned development permit, subject to the density ranqe of this designation. ri Y Sy - areas Low-Medium Densitv (RLM): L4badLow- medium density residential areas intended to be developed with angle --family hwtes dwellinqs at a densitv between 0 to 4 dwelling units per gwss acre. #+&e+ef Amended March 27,2001 Page 9 Land Use Element . ....

Certain areas of the City designated for planned communities may have several residential designations or combinations of residential designations. To accommodate good design and planning, as well as environmental and topographical factors, planned communities shall be controlled by a master plan. As part of the City’s Growth Management Plan, a dwelling unit limitation was established for each quadrant of the City. The City shall not approve any general plan amendment, zone change, tentative subdivision map or other discretionary approval for a development that could result in the development above the limit in any quadrant. To ensure that development does not exceed the limit, the following growth management control points are established for the Land Use Element density ranges. The City shall not approve any residential development at a density that exceeds the growth management control point for the applicable density range without making the following findings: a. That the project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City’s public facilities plans will not be adversely impacted. b. That there have been sufficient developments approved in the quadrant at densities below the control point so the approval will not result in exceeding the quadrant limit. c. All necessarv public facilities reauired bv the Citv’s Growth Management Proaram will be constructed, or are guaranteed to be constructed, concurrentlv with the need for them created bv this development and in compliance with the adopted Citv standards.

To meet the General Plan goals and objectives, including, but not limited to population goals and environmental Page 14 Amended March 27,2001 15 Land Use Element considerations, the ACTUAL yield may be less than maximum potentials, but not less than the minimum densitv of the underlvina land use designation: except. densitv mav be approved below the minimum of the densitv range in the -- a. When a lot is leaal nonconforming, or when two leaal nonconforming lots are consolidated into one lot. b. When a legal lot is developed with one or more residential units that existed as of October 28. 2004: provided, the existing units are to remain and it is not feasible to construct the number of additional units needed to meet the minimum densitv without reauirina the removal of the existing units. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65863. the Citv shall not by administrative, Quasi-iudicial. or legislative action, reduce, reauire or permit the reduction of residential densitv on any parcel to a densitv below that which was utilized bv the California Department of Housina and Communitv Development in determining compliance with housina element law, unless, the Citv, makes written findings SUppOf'kd by substantial evidence of both of the following: a. The reduction is consistent with the adopted qeneral plan. includinq the housina element. b. The remaininq sites identified in the housina element are adeauate to accommodate the Citv's share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code Section 65584. If a reduction in residential densitv for any parcel would result in the remainina sites identified in the housina element not being adeauate to accommodate the Citv's share of the reqional housing need, the Citv may reduce the densitv on that parcel provided it identifies sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an eaual or greater residential densitv so that there is no net loss of residential unit capacitv. The Citv shall be solelv responsible for compliance with Government Code Section 65863. unless a proiect applicant reauests in his or her initial application. as submitted, a densitv that would result in the remaining sites in the housina element not being adeauate to accommodate the Citv's share of the reaional housing need. In that case, the City may reauire the proiect applicant to complv with Government Code Section 65863. For the purposes of determinina or reauiring compliance with Government Code Section 65863, the submission of an application does not depend on the application beins deemed complete or being accepted bv the Citv. Government Code Section 65863 does not applv to parcels that, prior to Januarv 1, 2003, were either 1) subiect to a development agreement, or 2) parcels for which an application for a subdivision map had been submitted. Residential density shall be determined based on a number of dwelling units per developable acre of property. The following lands are considered to be undevelopable and shall be excluded from density calculations: a. b. d. e. f. 9. h. C. I. Beaches; Permanent bodies of water; Floodways; Slopes with an inclination of greater than 40%; Significant wetlands; Significant riparian woodland habitats; Land subject to major power transmission easements; Land upon which other significant environmental features as determined by the environmental review process for a project are located; and Railroad track beds. No residential development shall occur on the lands listed above, however, the City Council may permit limited development of such property, if when considering the property as a whole, the prohibition against development would constitute an unconstitutional deprivation of property. Limited development of accessory or nonresidential uses may be permitted. Development on slopes with an inclination of 25% to 40% shall be permitted if designed to minimize Amended March 27,2001 Page 15 /6 Land Use Element the grading and comply with the slope development provisions of the hillside ordinance and the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program. However, only 50%. of the area shall be used for density calculations. In instances where a property owner is preserving a significant amount of open space land beyond what would normally be required by city ordinances for purposes of environmental enhancement, establishing wildlife corridors or reserves or otherwise leaving developable property in its natural condition, the City shall consider allowing the density or development potential of the property being preserved to be transferred to another portion of the property or another distinct property. In these instances, the density/development potential of the property being left in open space shall be reserved for and used on the remainder of the land owned by the property owner, or through a negotiated agreement with the City, may be transferred to land owned by another property owner. All legally existing R-2 lots, as of December 1, 1986, may be developed with a two-family residence regardless of the density allowed by their General Plan designation if they can comply with all applicable development standards in effect at the time of their development and if the following findings can be made: a. That the project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City's public facilities plans will not be adversely impacted; b. That there have been sufficient developments approved in the quadrant at densities below the control point to cover the units in the project above the control point so the approval will not result in exceeding the quadrant limit; and c. All necessary public facilities required by this chapter will be constructed, or are guaranteed to be constructed, concurrently with the need for them created by this development and in compliance with the adopted City standards. There are exceptional cases where the base zone is consistent with the land use designation but would permit a slightly higher yield than that recommended in the low and low-medium density residential classifications. In those exceptional cases, the City may find that the project is consistent with this element if: a) the project is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs expressed herein, b) all of the necessary infrastructure is in place to support the project, and c) the proposed density does not exceed the maximum density allowed at the top of the range by more than an additional 25%. Affordable Housing - Density Increases The City recognizes that the feasibility of providing housing affordable to lower-income families is dependent upon the ability to achieve residential densities higher than allowed by the underlying land use designation. Therefore, it is necessary to consider development of housing projects containing lower-income affordable housing units at densities that may exceed the ranges and growth management control points indicated above. The density which may be approved for those projects which include affordable housing shall be determined on an individual project proposal basis, and may be independent of the residential land use designation of the site, subject to the criteria listed under Residential, Implementing Policies and Programs, C.3. ~ Page 16 Amended March 27, 2001 G PA W- -8 I ATTACHMENT 3 These elements should be referred to for more detailed discussion. For example, the public facilities discussed in the Circulation Element are also discussed in the Land Use Element. It is the policy of the City of Carlsbad that the Circulation Element be consistent with all other elements of the General Plan. D. THE CITY OF CARLSBAD SETTING The dominant natural and manmade features in Carfsbad, which establish the framework within which the circulation network must function, include the Pacific Ocean to the west, the three natural lagoons extending from the ocean to the interior of the City, the steep hills and canyons which punctuate the eastern half of the community, Highway 78 along the northern boundary, the Coast Highway, the AT&SF railroad and Interstate 5. These features all serve to separate the coastal portion of the City from the interior portion. There are three major, existing, arterial roads in the City, including, El Camino Real which runs north and south through the center of the City, Palomar Airport Road which runs east and west through the center of the City, and Rancho Santa Fe Road which runs along the southern and easterly boundary of the City. In addition, Carlsbad has a general aviation commuter airport located in the central portion of the City adjacent to the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real. Goals, objectives, and policies and programs related to air transportation are included in this element, but are also discussed in the Land Use Element. Given the existing topographic constraints, the City has developed an integrated land use and circulation plan to take advantage of the natural landform features and the existing transportation facilities. A major challenge for the City in the future will be to complete the remaining roadway segments of the Circulation Element in a timely manner within a climate of increasingly strict environmental guidelines. The City must also find ways to refine the existing circulation network in the developed portions of the City to accommodate increased redevelopment activity and the development of surrounding communi- ties. Finally, it is recognized that the City circula- tion system is a part of the larger regional, state, and national transportation systems. As such, the City circulation system will continue to be influ- enced by the demands placed upon it by larger transportation system needs. E. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT The construction of unbuilt circulation element roads and public utilities will be brought about through a combination of construction activities undertaken by the development community and the City of Carlsbad. The guiding theme for the construction of the circulation element infrastruc- ture is the provision of facilities prior to or concur- rent with the need for such facilities. To this end the City has established the Growth Management Program, the Capital Improvement Program and a development exaction program consisting of pub- lic facility impact fees and direct developer con- struction of public road, public trail and utility improvements. PROGRAM The Growth Management Program establishes minimum standards for the provision of basic public infrastructure including circulation element roads, sew8r collection, s8wer treatment, water distribution and flood control. In addition, the Growth Management Program requires the preparation of Local Facilities Management Plans to ensure that the public facility standards are met through buildout for each of the 25 local facility zones. For the most part, roads and public utilities will be constructed as a condition of development activity in accordance with the dictates of the Growth Management Program. Where a particular facility exceeds the financial capability of any one developer or the need for the facility cannot be attributed to a single development, the City, and various utility districts within the City, have established facility impact fees to generate the revenues needed to finance construction of those facilities. These impact fees combined with direct developer construction activities will assure com- pletion of the majority of the circulation element network. The remaining portion of the network for which the need is not attributable to future devel- opment, must be financed through other local, regional and federal funding sources. An example of one such facility is the improvement of Carlsbad Village Drive west of Interstate 5 which will be funded through redevelopment tax incre- ment bonds. Timing for the construction of the missing circula- tion element links is, for the most part, a function of development activity. For those facilities financed through facility impact fees or other funding sources, the City prepares on a yearly Page 2 Amended October 16,2001 16 C.

As a result, the following notes are provided to clarify the plan. A. Rancho Del Oro - Classified as a secondary arterial roadway only if a freeway interchange with SR78 is provided. If an interchange is not provided, this roadway is not to be in- cluded in the plan. B. Tamarack Avenue - Classified as a modified collector street between Carlsbad Boulevard and Skyline Road. An 80-foot right-of-way west of Jefferson to Carlsbad Boulevard should be maintained. Secondary arterial standards should be maintained between Jefferson Street and Adams Street. C. Avenida Encinas - The City might downgrade the southernmost link of this roadway (be- tween Lakeshore Gardens Mobile Home Park and Carlsbad Boulevard) to a collector street if a master plan for the immediate area indi- cates low intensity development. Such downgrading should not require an amend- ment to this element. D. Leucadia Boulevard Extension - The City should support and encourage adjoining ju- risdictions to extend Leucadia Boulevard from Interstate 5 to El Camino Real. E. Melrose Drive - The City should support and encourage adjoining jurisdictions to extend Melrose Drive from the Carlsbad city limits south to an appropriate connection. Melrose shall maintain its classification as a prime ar- terial north of Rancho Santa Fe Road. South of Rancho Santa Fe Road, Melrose may be built to secondary or modified standards with- out an amendment to this element but should preserve adequate right-of-way to construct a full width major arterial road.
