A copy of that resolution is attached. As a part of that action the City Council provided that the question which will appear on the ballot shall be as follows: "Shall an initiative ordinance be adopted adding Chapter 21.64 to the Carlsbad Municipal Code which would restrict the rate of construction of residential dwelling units in the City for ten years commencing January 1, 1987." Subsequent to that time expressions of concern have been received in regard to the appropriateness of that wording. The wording was taken from the summary of the initiative which was prepared by the proponents of the measure and included on the petition, which was circulated and signed by the requisite number of citizens to qualify the measure for the ballot. A copy of the first page of the petition showing the wording is also attached. Concerns have been expressed that the question is longer than appropriate. We have also received expressions of concern that it is too short and does not fairly describe the measure. The voters handbook which accompanies the ballot will include the full text of the ordinance. Nevertheless, if the City Council wishes to make changes in the wording of the ballot measure it is still possible to do that provided the registrar receives it prior to August 8, 1986. In the event the Council would want to consider making some changes attached is a resolution which would revise the ballot question. Whether to make any change or if a change is desired to adopt the attached draft are policy questions for the Council. As an alternative to the custom of summarizing an initiative ordinance in the ballot statement it may be possible to place the entire text of the ordinance on the ballot. That should be verified with the City Clerk. In that regard attached is an alternative version of Resolution No. EXHIBITS Resolution No. 8695 First page of citizen's initiative Resolution No. ^"73^ (two versions) Resolution Ho. ^"73^ revising ballot measure Memorandum from City Clerk dated July 31, 1986. 3tr cc uiu o O 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 RESOLUTION NO.869S A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 8670 CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE HOLDING OF THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN SAID CITY ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1986, TO INCLUDE THE SUB- MISSION TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF SAID CITY AN ORDINANCE RESTRICTING THE RATE OF CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS IN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD FOR A TEN YEAR PERIOD COMMENCING JANUARY 1, 1987.

The City of Carlsbad is experiencing intense residential development which is adversely affecting the capacity of schools to accommodate students, the capacity of city streets and local freeway systems to meet traffic needs, the semirural character of the community and the guality of life prevalent in Carlsbad. The people of Carlsbad are very much concened about the City's rapid growth. It is the intent of this chapter to obtain a lower rate of residential development; to permit effective advance planning and establishment of adequate municipal services such as schools, streets, parks, water, sewage, police and fire protection, and other customary services; to provide for a desirable amount of open space; to ensure availability of housing for a broad spectrum of population; and to prevent the deterioration of the quality of life prevalent in Carlsbad. In approving development priority shall be given to the construction of residential dwelling units which have the least adverse impact upon the public facilities and services as well as the quality of life prevalent in Carlsbad as described in this section. 2. Commencing January 1, 1987 and continuing through December 31, 1996, the City of Carlsbad shall not allow the start of construction of more than 1,000 residential dwelling units in 1987, 750 residential dwelling units in 1988, and 500 residential dwelling units each year thereafter through 1996. 3. The limitations of Section 21.64.020 shall not apply to: a) Projects replacing damaged or destroyed dwellings on a one-for-one basis; b) Remodeling or additions to existing dwellings which do not result in an increase in the number of dwelling units; and c) Dwelling units of any low income or senior citizen projects funded or subsidized pursuant to the provisions of applicable federal or state law. 2. o CDUJ -" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | 13 1 14 § 15 u- •l_ > UJ Z m o Quj 5 3 <o 5 ™ on" o o 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4.

This chapter may be amended or repealed only by a majority of the voters voting at an election thereon. 6. If any section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion of this chapter is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter. It is hereby declared that this chapter and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion thereof, would have been adopted or passed irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sentences, clauses, phrases, parts, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. 7. a) This chapter shall expire and be of no further force and effect on January 1, 1997; and b) The City Council shall place a measure on the ballot of the November 1996 general municipal election asking the City's electors if this chapter shall be extended until December 31, 2000 with a restriction on the construction of dwelling units not to exceed 500 units per year. 8.

However, the City shall resubmit this ordinance to the voters of Carlsbad in the general election of November 1996 to ascertain whether they desire this ordinance to continue for an additional five years to January 1, 2001 at an authorized level not to exceed 500 residential dwell- ing units per year.

If any portion of this ordinance is held or found to be invalid or unconstitutional by a Court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this ordinance.

RAUTENKRANZ, City Clerk -3- July 31, 1986 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Attorney ADDITIONAL REVISIONS TO CITIZEN'S GROWTH INITIATIVE At your August 5, 1986 meeting the City Council will consider an agenda, bill which we prepared suggesting revisions to the ballot wording for the numerical limitation growth initiative. After that agenda bill was prepared and distributed we received additional expressions of concern regarding the wording of the ordinance which will also appear on the ballot. Both proponents and opponents of the measure have expressed objections to paragraph 4 of the ordinance which provides that the City Council may adopt guidelines to implement it if it is approved by the voters. Since we have apparently succeeded in making everyone unhappy attached is a resolution which would revise the ballot measure to delete the paragraph. The problems which the paragraph addresses will still have to be dealt with after November if the measure passes. In view of the concerns expressed, I don't think it would serve any useful purpose to detail the reasons why the paragraph was included. VINCENT F. BIONDO, JR.
