applicable local facilities management zone plus the estimated
cost of facilities and improvements identified in the citywide
facilities and improvement plan attributable to the local zone.

the fee established and imposed by Sections 21.90.050 and 21.90.060 and installation of the facilities and improvements
identified in a facilities management plan are necessary to
achieve the policies established in Section 21.90.010 and to
implement the City's general plan. If the fees are not paid or
the facilities or improvements are not installed the public
health, safety and welfare will suffer because there will be
insufficient facilities and improvements to accommodate any new
development. This finding is based upon City Council Policy No. 17, City Council Ordinance No. 9791, and the evidence presented at the public hearings on the ordinance adopting this chapter.

development. The phasing schedule shall include a schedule of
development within the zone and a market data and cash flow
analysis for financing of facilities and improvements for the
zone. The phasing schedule shall identify periods where the
demand for facilities and improvements may exceed the capacity
and provide a plan for eliminating the shortfall. In those
situations when demand exceeds capacity and it is not feasible tc increase the capacity prior to development, no development shall
occur unless a time schedule for and a means of increasing the capacity is established in the plan.
(3) A financing plan establishing various methods of funding the facilities and improvements identified in the plai fairly allocating the cost to the various properties within the zone. The plan shall identify those facilities and improvements
which would otherwise be provided as a requirement of processing a development project (i.e. requirements imposed as a condition of a development permit) or provided by the developer in order tc
establish consistency with the general plan or Titles 18, 20 or
21 of this Code, and those facilities and improvements for which new funding methods which shall be sufficient to ensure
sufficient funds are available to construct or provide
facilities or improvements when required by the phasing schedule
Where facilities or improvements are required for more than one
zone, the phasing plan shall identify those other zones and the
plan for each zone shall be coordinated. Coordination, however,
shall not require identical funding methods.

(b) The citywide facilities and improvement plan and
the local facility management plan process is part of the City's
ongoing planning effort. It is anticipated that amendments to the plans may be necessary. Adoption of a facilities management
plan does not establish any entitlement or right to any particular general plan or zoning designation or any particular development proposal. The citywide facilities and improvements
plan and the local facilities management plans are guides to
ensure that no development occurs unless adequate facilities or improvements will be available to meet demands created by
development. The City Council may initiate an amendment to any
of the plans at any time if in its discretion it determines that
an amendment is necessary to ensure adequate facilities and
improvements.

facilities management zone or zones are inadequate to accommodate any further development within that zone or that the performance standards adopted pursuant to Section 21.90.100 are not being me1 he shall immediately report the deficiency to the Council. If the Council determines that a deficiency exists then no further building or development permits shall be issued within the affected zone or zones and development shall cease until an amendment to the citywide facilities and improvements plan or

SECTION 2: The City Council makes the following
findings:
1. Since January 1985, the City of Carlsbad has been
undertaking a comprehensive review of the Land Use Element of it:
General Plan. As part of that review a Council appointed
Citizens Committee prepared a comprehensive report and
recommendation to the City Council. That report was subject to
public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council
Included in the recommendations of the Citizens Committee were
recommendations that no new development should occur unless
16.
adequate public facilities are available concurrently with need to serve the new development.
2. On August 6, 1985, the City Council adopted Interim
Ordinance No. 9766, imposing certain temporary land use controls on property within the City, consistent with the recommendation
of the Citizens Committee. On September 3, 1985, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 9771 which extended the restrictions of Ordinance No. 9766 until July 20, 1986. On
December 10, 1985, the City Council approved in concept several
land use proposals not contained in the Citizens Committee
report. On January 21, 1986 the City Council adopted Urgency
Ordinance No. 9791 imposing a temporary moratorium on developmen
approvals based on the findings contained in that ordinance. On
April 22, 1986 the City Council revised City Council Policy No.
17, based on the findings contained therein, On May 6, 1986 the
City Council adopted Ordinance No. 8107 establishing a traffic
impact fee for the La Costa Area of the City. The City Council
finds that all of these actions plus the adoption of Chapter
21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code are necessary to ensure
adequate public facilities are available to serve any new
development in the City. Without Chapter 21.90 and the
requirements imposed by it, adequate public facilities may not b available to serve new development or building , Development or building without public facilities is contrary to the City General Plan and would be dangerous to the public health and
safety.
3. This action of the City Council is consistent with
long standing policies and objectives of the City to ensure
adequate public facilities within Carlsbad. This action will
protect the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of
Carlsbad by ensuring safe streets, adequate water, sewer and
drainage facilities, sufficient fire protection and recreation
f ac i 1 it ies .
4. This action is consistent with the City's policy to
provide housing opportunities for all economic sectors of the community, because sufficient opportunities for new housing
continue to exist within the City and Chapter 21.90 does not
affect the number of houses which may be built. In addition,
development of housing for low and moderate income persons and families would most likely occur in areas of the City which are
designated for highest development priority. By encouraging development of infill areas first, where the infrastructure is
already existing, the cost of housing may be reduced.
5. Because any new development affects public facility
availability it is necessary to impose the fees and charges whic will be used to provide public facilities on any new building in
the City. The Council finds that failure to impose the fees and
charges on any new building in the City will adversely affect th
public health and safety by reducing the safety of its City's streets, increasing the burden on water, sewer, drainage and fir
17.
facilities, and by overcrowding existing schools, parks and
recreational facilities.
6. Adoption of Chapter 21.90 will not adversely affect the regional welfare. By ensuring that adequate and safe public facilities and improvements will exist to serve all of the
development in Carlsbad and because many of these facilities and improvements are used by persons residing in neighboring areas and cities the safety and welfare of the whole region is
enhanced.
SECTION 3: The City Council intends to implement the
growth management program contained in Chapter 21.90 by followinc
the work program in Exhibit A which is hereby made a part of thi:
ordinance. The City Council may adjust the work program without
amending this ordinance as they determine necessary to accomplis1
effective growth management for the City of Carlsbad.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This ordinance shall be effective
thirty days after its adoption, and the City Clerk shall certify
to the adoption of this ordinance and cause it to be published a'
least once in the Carlsbad Journal within fifteen days after its
adoption. The fees created by Section 21.90.050 of this
ordinance shall be effective as to building permits for single 0:
multifamily residential projects 60 days after the adoption of
this ordinance .
