WHEREAS, the City Planner has prepared a Local Coastal Program Amendment

supportive housing; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance is one of the implementing ordinances for the
City of Carlsbad Local Coastal Program; and

consistency between the two documents; and

65583(c), which requires cities to identify sites for and remove governmental constraints
that may hamper transitional and supportive housing, and Housing Element Program 3.15,
which identifies the need for Carlsbad to amend its Zoning Ordinance to permit such
housing; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment is set forth in the draft City Council
Ordinance, Exhibit “X” dated July 3, 2012, attached to Planning Commission Resolution No.
