AN INITIATIVE 0E.DINANCE OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE LAND USE AND PUBLIC
FACILITIES ELEMENTS OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND THE
ZONING MAP TO REQUIRE A GUARANTEE THAT ALL PUBLIC
FACILITIES WILL BE AVAILABLE BEFORE A DEVELOPMENT
CAN BE APPROVED AND REGULATING RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT AND POPULATION IN THE CITY.
The people of the City of Carlsbad, California do
ordain as follows:
SECTION A: That the Carlsbad general plan shall be
amended by the amendment of the Public Facilities and Land Use
Elements to add the following:
"The City of Carlsbad in implementing its public
facilities element and growth management plan has made an
estimate of the number of dwelling units that will be built as a
result of the application of the density ranges in the Land Use
Element to individual projects. The City's Capital Improvement
Budget, growth management plan, and public facilities plans are
all based on this estimate. In order to ensure that all
necessary public facilities will be available concurrent with
need to serve new development it is necessary to limit the number
of residential dwelling units which can be constructed in the
City to that estimate. For that purpose the City has been
divided into four quadrants along El Camino Real and Palomar
Airport Road. The maximum number of residential dwelling units
to be constructed or approved in the City after November 4, 1986
is as follows: Northwest Quadrant 5,844; Northeast Quadrant
6,166; Southwest Quadrant 10,667; Southeast Quadrant 10,801.
The City shall not approve any General Plan amendment, zone change, tentative subdivision map or other discretionary
approval for a development which could result in development
above the limit in any quadrant. In order 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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
The City Manager shall monitor all approvals and report to the Planning Cornmission and City Council on an annual basis to ensure that the construction of residential units within each quadrant, on a cumulative basis, will be at or below the growth management control points and that the overall quadrant limits are being maintained. If the annual report indicates in any way
that it is likely that the limit may be exceeded, the Council
shall take appropriate action by revising the growth management plan and the City's zoning code to ensure that the ceilings will
be maintained.
The City Council or the Planning Commission shall not
find that all necessary public facilities will be available
concurrent with need as required by the Public Facilities Element and the City's 1986 growth management plan unless the provision
of such facilities is guaranteed. In guaranteeing that the facilities will be provided emphasis shall be given to ensuring
good traffic circulation, schools, parks, libraries, open space
and recreational amenities. Public facilities may be added. The
City Council shall not materially reduce public facilities without making corresponding reductions in residential
densities.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as changing
the requirement that any specific residential density above the
minimum allowed by the Land Use Element density ranges and the applicable zoning shall be justified according to the
requirements of the appropriate General Plan and zoning provisions.
SECTION B. The zoning map of the City of Carlsbad shall
be amended to provide that building permits issued or approved
for residential dwelling units in the City after November 4, 1986
shall not exceed the limits established in the map in this
section. The numbers on the map shall not be increased without
an affirmative vote of the people.

would place an annual num.erica1 limitation on the rate of
residential construction. If this ordinance and any such
initiative ordinance are both passed by a majority voting thereon
then the one with the most votes shall prevail. ...
