This item is being brought before the City Council prior to Planning Commissiol
approval of the project in order to assist Caring Residents of Carlsbad in meeting thl
federal grant construction deadline for completion of the emergency shelter projecl
According to Caring Residents of Carlsbad, the grant specifies that construction c
the facility must be complete no later than January 1992. Caring Residents has file'
a sixty day extension of the deadline, however to date no confirmation has bee
received.
In July of this year, Caring Residents of Carlsbad made a written request to the Cit
Council, to waive all customary development fees, permit costs and the Mello-Roo,
assessment associated with establishment of the Carlsbad Homeless Shelter (L
Posada de Guadalupe, C.U.P 91-10). In addition, the group requested that the Cit
permit Catholic Charities of San Diego to use a surplus Carlsbad Municipal Wate'
District office/trailer, as the office of the Shelter's resident manager (Exhibit 2).
Staff from Engineering, Planning, Growth Management and Building estimated thc
customary fees related to a project of this type at the proposed location. Estimate,
were based solely upon the site plan submitted by Caring Residents and did no
include costs which may be associated with conditions of approval imposed upon thc
project by the Planning Commission ( the Planning Commission hearing is schedule(
for December 4, 1991). Staff is also recommending that any contributions, donation
and deferments be contingent upon approval of the Conditional Use Permit, by thc
Planning Commission.

As a condition of development, the City would normally collect a number of fee5
related to current and future public facilities, such as the Bridge and Thoroughfare
District Fee, Public Facilities Fee, and Traffic Impact Fee. Since the EmergencJ
Shelter project proposed by Caring Residents specifies temporary structures and s
two year limited use of the property (Exhibit 3), staff is recommending that a1
facilities fees be deferred until permanent structures are built and a permanent us€
established for the property. In addition, staff is recommending that the City Counci
make a monetary contribution in an amount equivalent to inspection, permit anc
plancheck fees, as well as the first year Mello-Roos tax for the property.
Caring Residents has also requested the use of an office/trailer which was used by tht
Carlsbad Municipal Water District several years ago. The modular in question ha!
been valued at $5408.00, and according to Water District staff there are no futurt
plans to use the facility. Based on the information provided, staff is recommendin!
the City Council donate the office trailer to Caring Residents of Carlsbad for use a
the Shelter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Because the emergency shelter project represents a temporary use of the proper9
staff is recommending that facilities and impact fees be deferred until a permanen
date, there is no current fiscal impact in this area. However, staff is recommendin]
that the Council contribute a total of $5300.00 to the project. These funds would bc
transferred from the General Fund Contingency Account into the General Fun(
Community Contribution Account and then donated to Caring Residents of Carlsbac
for the project. A reduction in the General Fund Contingency Account of $5300 wil
leave a balance of $1,334,200.00. Donation of the CMWD modular trailer will havc
the effect of reducing Carlsbad Municipal Water District assets by $5408.00 (the boo1
value of the trailer).

. . .. Re: Carlsbad Homeless Migrant Shelter
Dear Mayor Lewis:
By this letter I wish to give you and the members of th city council an update concerning our Carlsbad Homeless Migran Shelter.
The lease between Catholic Charities and Palomar Investmen
- Associates has been signed, and is being reviewed by lega counsel for the State of California Emergency Shelter Program.
Likewise the bid specification package for the modular unit has been prepared and is also being reviewed by the contrac administrator in Sacramento.
Caring Residents of Carlsbad, Inc. and Catholic Charities c San Diego is being assisted by Jerry Romboiis, Architect Eduard Samaniego, Bob Ladwig of Rick Engineering, and Dave Gardner c Starboard Development (all volunteers) in the preparation of th application for the conditional use permit. The application fc the conditional use permit will be filed with the City Plannin Department later this week.
Caring Residents and Catholic Charities is working to secur
matching funds of $ 25,000.00 toward the operational costs of tk shelter and we thank the Carlsbad City council for its materiz endorsement of our shelter in authorizing matching CDBG funds oi
$ 25,000.00 toward its operEtional costs.
To further our development of this shelter, I believe tl following itens must be subroitted to the city council and/or cii staff for formal review and zpproval:
1. On beha.lf of Caring Residents of Carlsbad, and Cathol:

being rendered by local contractors, surveyors, engineers developers, architect, attorneys and health care professionals We believe a waiver of the usual development fees by the Cit: will serve to augment the funds which can be spent directly up01
the costs of equipment in establishing the shelter, According t,
the terms of the grant, three dollars of grant money will bl allocated for every dollar which is donated (this includes i kind services and fee waivers).
