The Comprehensive Planning Organization (CPO) adopted the San Diego -
t
Regional Housing Plan in 1974. An Important part of this plan was
the Housing Allocation•Formula which consisted of two elements: (1),
1
an identification of the region's total lower income housing needs;
and (2) the means by which these needs should,be equitably distributed
.throughout the region. ,
According to the Housing Allocation Formula, the regional need for low-
income housing units will be 37,681 by 1985. -Carlsbad's `fair share"
of the regional total is 2 1/2%. This translates into 82.5 units of
,lower income housing that would be needed to meet the lower income
,hous•ing needs of -the City by 1985.
CP.O is now requesting that Carlsbad adopt a resolution which recognizes
the regional Housing Allocation Formula. Ado•p.tion of the attached
Resolution w.ould mean that Carlsbad accepts the regional Housing.Needs
"fair
-Allocation total of 37,681 lower income units -and, Carlsbad's, -share",
allocation of 825 units.
For additional information, please see memo to City Manager dated November

MEMORANDUM
TO: Wayne Dernetz, City Manager /I//
FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director_lP hL
RE: LOCAL ADOPTION OF CPO HOUSING ALLOCATION FORMULA
I recently received a letter from the Comprehensive Planning
Organization (CPO) requesting that the City of Carlsbad adopt
by Resolution the regional Housing Allocation Formula. The
following information should provide the background to CPO's
request.
The Comprehensive Planning Organization adopted the San Diego
Regional Housing Plan in November, 1974. Part of the Plan
identified the regional housing needs and developed a guide for
local jurisdictions to equitably distribute lower income housing
within the jurisdiction. This is accomplished through the Housing
Allocation Formula which recommended that each jurisdiction's
share of the regional need for ,lower income housing be in similar
proportions to the demand for lower income housing that each juris-,
diction contributes to that region. The formula consists of two
elements: (1) an identification of the region's total lower income
needs; and (2) the means by which these needs (units) should be
equitably distributed throughout the region. The projected total
need for the region is 31,681 lower income units by 1985.
Both the California Department of Housing and Community Development
and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have
generally recognized "good faith efforts" to provide for the,
housing needs of the community As those which would address about
five percent of the housing needs per year. According to those
standards and the needs, the proposed lower income housing required
for the San Diego area would be 9,500 to 10,000 units over the next
five years.
i
On a local level, the allocation formula recommends that Carlsbad
provide two and one-half percent of the lower income housing needs
of the region between 1980 and 1985. This translates into 825 units
of lower income housing that would be needed to meet the lower
income housing needs in the City by 1985 (Carlsbad's "fair share").
Carlsbad's "good faith" effort would mean that Carlsbad should
be expected to provide about 200 to 210 units of lower income
housing as a bare minimum over the next five years.
Council approval of the Housing Allocation Formula is important
as the State Housing Element Guidelines require each jurisdiction
to identify its "fair share" allocation as part of its Housing
Element. CPO is requesting that the City complete the adoption
of our "fair share" by November 30, 1979. This may pose a

problem for the City Council because the Housing Element will
not be ready for hearing until late January, 1980. This
means that the City Council is being asked to guarantee provision
of 825 (210 "good 'faith") units by 1985 without having reviewed
the programs in the Housing Element which are designed to
furnish these lower income units.
CPO has indicated that their staff will be avai`lable:to make a
presentation or answer any questions at the November 20, 1979
meeting:.
