The above recitations are true and correct.
The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City of Carlsbad's Housing
Element and Consolidated Plan, the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, and the Carlsbad
General Plan.
Based upon the analysis contained within the Housing Commission Staff Report dated
February 11, 1999, the Housing Commission finds that the off-site satisfaction of the
inclusionary housing requirement is in the public interest.
That based on the information provided within the Housing Commission Staff Report and
testimony presented during the public meeting of the Housing Commission on February 1 1 ,
1999, the Commission recommends that the City Council APPROVE a request by
Continuing Life Communities, LLC., to purchase 30.2 affordable housing credits in the
Villa Loma housing project in order to satisfy the affordable housing obligation of the la
Costa Glen project under the city's inclusionary housing ordinance.
That the Housing Commission recommends that the Community Development Director be
authorized to execute the Affordable Housing Agreement in substantially the form
presented in Exhibit 3 to the Housing Commission Staff Report and to execute such other
documents, or take other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to assist the developer
in acquiring the Affordable Housing Credits.
General Conditions:
1. Thirty and two-tenths (30.2) affordable housing credits shall be reserved for the La Costa
Glen project for a period of two (2) years. The two year period shall commence on the date
the City Council approves the request to purchase said credits. If the credits have not been
purchased within the two year period, the credits will be released and then made available
for purchase on a first come, first served basis. If the credits are in fact released, no hture
credits are available for purchase, and the Developer has not completed the 17 1 residential
housing unit Project, Continuing Life Communities shall be permitted to make a payment
in an amount equal to the last housing credit price in effect at the time the last housing
credit is purchased by a developer.
