-a). (demo dated July 25, 1972, from Mayor D.M. Dunne to
• Planning Director
b) Supplement #1 to Housing Element of the General Plan.
c) SB 521 amending Sec. 65852, Chap 187 of the Government
Code
The Housing Element of the General Plan, Supplement No.l, dated May
1970, recommended the following:
"There are many unknowns as to the effect mobile dome develop-
ment will have in Carlsbad. The questions of municipal service
costs and tax revenues, of community economic imbalance, of
possible social discourse, of aesthetic impa,irment,•and others,
could be studied in more depth and with more understanding if a
local historical trend provided us with empirical evidence. Since
this is not the case, the City of Carlsbad can either continue
down a blind alley by accepting more development proposals, or wait
until the necessary information is provided through the develop-
ment of the proposed, authorized parks. Based on the limited
information available to this study, and the potential problems
discussed, the Planning Department staff recommends:
1) That no further mobile home developments be approved
until the proposed and authorized mobile home parks either
develop and are studied as to.impact, or have their con-
ditional use permits revoked for failure to begin con-
struction within one year from date of issuance of a
conditional use permit."
A moratorium on Mobile Home Park applications was enacted October 6,
'1970, for a period of one (1) year. During that one year period, the
staff was to prepare a Report setting: 1) Levels of actual Mobile
Home Development as it compares to proposed developments'dw2) ultimate,
levels of Mobile Home Development as it relates to totaa elling unit'
availability, 3) Developmental and design criteria for Mobile Home
Park proposals. To date this information has not been oreoared.
Additionally, the availability of constructed Mobile Home Spaces has
not increased appreciably in the past 24 months. At present, there
are 252 spaces existing; there have been 1526 spaces approved, 190
constructed; and 506 spaces under construction. Therefore, within a
2.
six (6) month to one (1) year period, there will be a total of 948
spaces available for occupancy as opposed to 342 spaces available
now-. This• represents approximately an availability of 30% of this
years potential. To adequately assess impacts on the community, it
is essential that a majority of the spaces be developed. Therefore,
a moratorium on Mobile Home Developments would allow the staff to
establish•two of the three previously mentioned items: 1) Ultimate
level of Mobil Home Development vs. Total Dwelling Unit availability,
2) Developmental of Design Criteria for Mobil Home Parks.
Two, courses of action are available to the City Council per State
Law (Chap 187 Sec. 6585811 of the Government Code.
a) An interim ordinance, to be exacted by 4/5's vote of the
Council for a period ,of four (4) months (120 days).
l) An extension of one (=1) year through appropriate public
hearing procedure can be accomplished with 4,/-0 ,.a to of
the City Council.
b)• An interim ordinance can b� established. by 4/5's vote of the
City Council for a period of one 0) year by satisfactory
completion of procedures on public hearings.
It is the staff recommendation that item (a) be utilized as the
' course of action at this time.
