WHEREAS, during public hearings on residential
development projects in recent months, it has become apparent
that there are critical shortages in certain public facilities
including, but not limited to, circulation systems and parks
which must be remedied in order to accommodate any new
residential development, and
WHEREAS, on January 14, 1986, the City Council heard
testimony from its staff and a large number of other people
interested in the development of the City, and determined that in
order to eliminate the facilities shortages and to protect the
community character and quality of life in Carlsbad, it is
necessary to establish a development management system and public
facilities, improvements and services phasing plans (phasing
plans) within the City of Carlsbad as outlined in Agenda Bill No.
8973-1 and in the testimony of the Planning Director, and
WHEREAS, continued development without a development
management system and phasing plans may result in significant
adverse impacts on public facilities, including but not limited
to the circulation system, parks, schools and open space which
would impact the health, safety and welfare of the City of
Carlsbad and degrade the quality of life and environment of the
City, and
WHEREAS, the development of such a system and
plans without placing restrictions on processing of development
applications would severely strain the staff capabilities of the
City's Planning Department, and

processing in the City, would allow the planning staff the

necessary time to develop the development management system and
phasing plan, and
WHEREAS, continued processing and approval of
development applications during the preparation of a development
management system and phasing plans would severely prejudice the
ability of the City to establish methods for remedying shortages
identified by the plan or from fully implementing the
recommendations prepared by the Planning Department, and would
result in the adverse impacts to the public health, safety and
welfare, and
WHEREAS, placing a temporary hold on development will
allow the City to analyze all of the potential impacts of a
development management system and phasing plans including
environmental impacts, and impacts on regional welfare and
regional housing opportunities in a comprehensive manner and
without prejudice to the development of such a program, and
WHEREAS, a temporary hold on development will not
adversely affect the environment but will allow full
consideration of impacts of future development during the
preparation of the development management system and phasing
plans while continued acceptance, processing or approval of
development applications could impact the City's environment,
and ;
WHEREAS, a temporary hold on development will not affect
the regional housing opportunities since certain previously
approved development will be allowed to proceed, and
WHEREAS, this ordinance is consistent with the City's
General Plan and will allow full and careful consideration of
-3-
appropriate general plan amendments, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined for the reasons
stated above, that the public health safety and welfare will be
protected only by adoption of this Urgency Ordinance to place a
temporary hold on development processing pending the preparation
and consideration of a development management system and phasing
plans for the City of Carlsbad, and
WHEREAS, imposition of the public facilities
requirements of the development management system and phasing
plans on development occuring after January 21, 1986 is necessary
to protect the public health, safety and welfare, to preserve the
quality of life in Carlsbad, to assure compliance with the
Carlsbad General Plan and zoning ordinances and to protect the
environmental quality in the city in the immediate and long
range future.
WHEREAS, this ordinance is adopted pursuant to Sections
36937(b) and 65858(a) of the California Government Code, and
