The City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California does ordain as follows:

SECTION 3: That Section 21.53.230(d) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code is
amended to read as follows:
(d) No more than fifty percent of the portion of a site containing twenty-five to forty
percent slopes may be utilized for calculating allowable residential density. Residential
development on slopes with an inclination of twenty-five to forty percent, inclusive, shall be
designed to minimize the amount of grading necessary to accommodate the project. For
projects within the coastal zone, the grading provisions of the Carlsbad local coastal program
and Chapters 21.38 and 21.203 of the municipal code shall apply.
SECTION 4: That Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code is amended by the
addition of Section 21.53.230(e) to read as follows:
(e) The potential unit yield for a property, based on the minimum, growth
management control point (GMCP), or maximum density of the applicable General Plan land
use designation, shall be subject to the following:
Equation used to determine unit yield: developable lot area (in acres) x
density = unit yield.
(A) “Density” used in this calculation is the minimum, GMCP, or maximum density of the applicable General Plan land use designation;
(B) The resulting unit yield shall be subject to Table A, below. For purposes of this section:
(A) “Rounded-up” means rounding the fractional unit yield up to the
next whole unit; and
(B) “Rounded-down” means rounding the fractional unit yield down to the previous whole unit, but not less than 1 unit.
The information contained in Table A, below, shall not preclude the City
from approving residential densities above the GMCP or maximum density of the applicable
land use designation, subject to adopted City policies and regulations.
