In January of this year, over one hundred (100) letters were sent to vacan
landowners in Carlsbad, including school districts and the County of San Diegc
inquiring as to the availability of vacant land for this project. Fewer than twent
responses were received by staff, and of those responding, only two were offers c
land (private). In both cases the offers were rejected based on issues relating tc
location. These issues included proximity to existing residential areas, access tc
existing infrastructure, and/or physical and financial limitations which would preven
installation of the necessary infrastructure improvements. Staff also investigated a1
land owned by the City, including the properties managed by the Carlsbad Municipa
Water District. As with private land, all City owned property was rejected for thc
project, due to overriding access and infrastructure concerns.
Facilitated by City staff, Caring Residents of Carlsbad located a site for the shelte
and has obtained an offer to lease the property from the landowner (Carlsbad 48)
The parcel is a 3.62 acre site located in an industrial area adjacent to the City'.
Maintenance and Safety Center facilities. The parcel is located on Impala Drive, jus
north of Faraday Avenue and within 1/4 mile of the Hiring Center location. The sit€
is bordered on the north by a canyon area (Sunny Creek), on the south and west bj
vacant industrial lots, and to the east by City facilities (EXHIBIT 1 & 2).
Caring Residents of Carlsbad and the landowners will be negotiating a two-year least
agreement for the parcel. Staff expects to receive the development application an(
the site plans for the project, once an agreement with the owners has been finalized
Caring Residents hope to begin construction of the project sometime in the fourtl
quarter of this year. Staff will continue to work with the property owners and Carinl Residents of Carlsbad throughout the development process and when possible:
expedite the City review of the project.
