been expended during the 2000-2001 Program Year, including funds allocated for public service
organizations, repayments on a CDBG Section 108 Loan to purchase property for the Villa Loma
Affordable Apartment Project, and CDBG program administration costs.
The City is required to make the CAPER available to the public for review and comment. A notice was
published in a local newspaper announcing the public review and comment period. In addition, all CDBG

The resources discussed in the following narrative include information on the source of funding,
administering agency, the number and type of households/persons assisted, and program accomplishments.
The various programs are described under each objective and the performance during the past year is
measured against the objectives and priorities identified in the Five Year Consolidated Plan and the goals
stated in the 2000-2001 Action Plan.
1. AFFORDABLE HOUSING

residential rehabilitation programs, and new construction assistance.
RESOURCES MADE AVAILABLE:
Section 8 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program: The Housing Choice Voucher Program is funded
by HUD and administered by the City of Carlsbad Housing Agency. The total amount of funds available
for the 2000-2001 Section 8 Rental Assistance Program was $3,141,395. The Agency also received an

$369,279
CDBG Section 108 Loan Repayment: The City received approximately $1.2 million in a CDBG Section
108 loan in a previously reported fiscal year to assist in the land acquisition for a 21 acre site on which the
Villa Loma Apartment affordable housing project is located. In fiscal year 2000-2001 there was $185,278
in CDBG funds budgeted for the annual payment of that loan.
Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside Fund: Redevelopment Housing Set-
Aside funds are based on twenty percent of the total annual redevelopment tax increment received by the
Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency. Tax increment revenues are based on one percent of the property taxes
assessed within the Village Redevelopment Area. At least twenty percent of the tax increment revenues are
required to be set aside by California Redevelopment Law for housing purposes for low and moderate-
income households. As of July 1, 2000, the Redevelopment Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
account contained an unencumbered balance of $108,915.
San Diego County Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate Program: The Mortgage Credit Certificate
Program (MCC), authorized by Congress in the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, is an alternative to
mortgage revenue bond-backed financing as a means of providing financial assistance for the purchase of
single family housing. In 1985, the State of California adopted legislation authorizing local bond issuing
2000-2001 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 1
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
agencies to make MCCs available in California. This program is designed to primarily benefit first time
home buyers of new and.existing housing units. In May 1994, the City of Carlsbad, along with other
participating jurisdictions formed the San Diego County Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC)
Program. This program is administered by the County of San Diego on behalf of the participating
jurisdictions.
Affordable Housing Trust Fund: With the implementation of the City’s Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance, the City established a Housing Trust Fund to collect those fees generated from the Inclusionary
Housing In-Lieu fee, the Inclusionary Housing Impact Fee, and the sale of affordable housing credits to
satisfy a developer’s inclusionary housing obligation. All fees collected are used exclusively to facilitate
the construction, preservation, and maintenance of affordable housing as it particularly relates to the City’s
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. As of July 1, 2000, the Housing Trust Fund contained an unencumbered
balance of $1,274,910.
As allowed by the Inclusionary Housing ordinance, residential projects with 6 or fewer units may make an
“In-lieu” contribution, consisting of funds, land or some other asset for use in providing housing for lower-
income households. The In-Lieu Fee as revised by City Council is $4,515 per housing unit.
For those residential projects where the application for a discretionary permit is deemed complete or
approval is granted prior to May 21, 1993, the effective date of the Inclusionary Housing ordinance, an
Inclusionary Housing “Impact” Fee will be paid to the City for use in providing housing for lower-income
households. The Housing Impact Fee is $2,925 per housing unit.
As in the case of the Villa Loma Affordable Apartment project, with financial assistance from the City,
affordable housing projects may be constructed that exceeds a developer’s inclusionary housing obligation.
In such circumstances, the City may allow other developers to purchase affordable housing credits for
those affordable units in excess of the original developer’s inclusionary housing obligation to satisfy their
inclusionary housing obligation.

A total of 113 1 households were assisted in obtaining affordable housing during the 2000-2001 reporting

abuse. The Community Resource Center offered case management services and emergency assistance to
265 Carlsbad residents. Lifeline Community Services was able to assist 309 Carlsbad households with
various housing services. Casa de Amparo provided emergency shelter and support services to one

These activities addressed the following priority(s) in the Consolidated Plan Priority Needs Summary
Table: Transitional Shelters for Individuals (High), Transitional Shelter for Families (Medium),
Emergency Shelters for Familes and Individuals (Low),
c. OBJECTIVE: Provide direct assistance to lower income households to prevent or
eliminate residential building or municipal code violations and/or improve the quality of
housing units through residential (rental and/or owner-occupied) rehabilitation programs.
ONE YEAR GOAL: Assist approximately 5 lower income single family homeowners and mobile
homeowners with loans/grants to rehabilitate their residences
RESOURCES MADE AVAILABLE:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): The Single Family Residential Rehabilitation
Program is administered by the County of San Diego on behalf of the City of Carlsbad. The Rehabilitation
Program offers low and moderate income homeowners a Deferred No Interest Loan for up to $20,000, a
$1,000 Weatherization Grant and/or a $1,000 grant for elderly/handicapped persons. In 2000-2001 there
was an existing balance of previously allocated CDBG funds for single family and mobile home
rehabilitation loans/grants in the amount of approximately $84,600.
HOME Investment Partnership Program: The HOME Investment Partnership Program, authorized by
Congress in the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, offers communities the opportunity to address a
wide array of affordable housing needs. HOME funds can be used for new construction, rehabilitation or
acquisition of rental housing, rehabilitation of owner occupied housing, home buyer assistance, and tenant
based rental assistance.
The City of Carlsbad has not been designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
as a participating jurisdiction eligible to receive entitlement funding under the HOME Program. In June
1995, the City Council elected to participate with the County of San Diego and other San Diego County
jurisdictions to form a HOME consortia eligible to receive entitlement funds. Approximately $233,200 in
HOME funding was available for the program during the 2000-2001 program year.
HOUSEHOLDS ASSISTED/PROGRAM ACHIEVEMENTS:
The City did not meet its goal of assisting five households through the single family home and mobile
home rehabilitation program. No rehabilitation projects were completed as no applicants were eligible for
the program. The main reason for this lack of eligible applications was due to the requirement that homes
in the San Diego area to be improved with HOME funds must not be valued at over $239,250 after
completion of the improvements. Due to the recent increase in Carlsbad property values, very few
properties in the City now qualify for the rehabilitation program with use of HOME funds. CDBG funds
allocated to the program are set aside for use on rehabilitation projects that require abatement measures for
lead based paint hazards.

B. Continuum of Care
The City of Carlsbad’s strategy for providing a continuum of care for the homeless includes contracting
with various non-profit agencies for the provision of essential services. Each agency with which the City
contracts has the expertise to provide services to the homeless at one or more stages along the continuum
of care.
The Community Resource Center offers a program specifically designed to prevent homelessness. They
assist financially distressed families with food, transportation, counseling and case management services.
The Brother Benno Center also helps prevent homelessness through the provision of food programs for
struggling families. The Brother Benno Center additionally provides food, clothing and other basic-needs
services to the homeless. The La Posada de Guadalupe shelter in Carlsbad provides emergency shelter for
adult men. The Women’s Resource Center provides emergency shelter for women and their children who
are victims of domestic violence. Casa de Amparo provides emergency shelter for abused, neglected, or
abandoned children.
Lifeline Community Services offers a wide variety of housing services for Carlsbad residents. The
emphasis is on shared-housing opportunities that can provide an individual or family with transitional or
permanent housing solutions. Fraternity House provides supportive housing and care for men and women
who are disabled by HIV/AIDS. The residents receive comprehensive care and services in a warm and
caring environment where they can spend their last days in comfort and dignity.
Direct action by the City in the continuum of care spectrum includes the City’s Section 8 Tenant Based
Rental Assistance program that offers affordable housing solutions for Carlsbad residents. This program
also provides the Family Self-Sufficiency program, which strives to lead families to complete self-
sufficiency and financial independence.
The City has made a commitment to providing permanent affordable housing to Carlsbad residents. A
total of 939 units have been built, 86 units are under construction, and 699 units are approved or proposed
for future City Council review.
C. Geographic Distribution
All CDBG program funds were allocated to projects or organizations that are located within Carlsbad or
provide services to North County residents including residents of Carlsbad. Of those funds specifically
allocated to projects and programs operating within Carlsbad, the City has allocated funds not only where
there is a need, but has also allocated funds to be used throughout the entire city, thereby reducing the
concentration of invested funds in any one area of the City.
2000-200 1 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 10
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
The Residential Rehabilitation Program is available to single family home owners throughout the City.
The Villa Loma Affordable Housing Project property acquired using the Affordable Housing Reserve
Fund and Section 108 CDBG Loan is located within the Southwest Quadrant. The La Posada de
Guadalupe homeless shelter sponsored by Catholic Charities is located in the Northeast Quadrant. The
Community Resource Center was located in the Northwest Quadrant and in the census tract with the
highest concentration of lower-income persons in the City. (The Community Resource Center no longer
operates a facility in Carlsbad due to a rent increase. The organization continues to seek another Carlsbad
location and is serving Carlsbad residents through their Encinitas facility.) Other agencies providing
services to Carlsbad residents are located in the surrounding cities of Oceanside, Vista, and Encinitas.
As of June 30, 2001, 509 households were participants in the City’s Section 8 Tenant-Based Rental
Assistance Program. Approximately one-half of the households reside within Census Tract 179.00 of the
City of Carlsbad, which has the highest concentration of low income and ethnic/racial minority households
in the City. Federal regulations allow program participants to live in any eligible housing unit within the
United States.
D. Leveraging of Available Resources
The City’s policy is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of funds available in the
development of affordable housing and the maintenance and preservation of existing housing throughout
the entire city. The City supports the use of CDBG, HOME, and Redevelopment Set-Aside funds, as well
as Affordable Housing Trust funds for “gap financing” by private and non-profit entities in their efforts to
develop affordable housing.
All CDBG program and Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside funds are leveraged with other sources of
income, such as other federal, state, local and private funds. For organizations that are allocated CDBG
program funds, these funds do not cover all of their costs and are merely leveraged with other sources of
income to operate the funded program.
Bank of America has developed and implemented a Carlsbad Home Buyer Assistance Program (CHAP) in
response to their mandatory inclusionary housing obligation. Bank of America provides “silent” second
mortgage loans to low income home buyers. A total of 19 loan applications were approved during the
2000-200 1 reporting period.
E. Documentation of Assistance Provided
The Carlsbad Housing Authority has maintained documentation of assistance provided to each household
receiving assistance during the period between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001. The provisions of the
Section 8 program require files to be maintained for each household assisted with federal Section 8 Rental
Assistance Funds. In addition, provisions of the program require annual recertification of all program
participants for compliance with current eligibility criteria. The criteria includes evaluation of changes in
income, family composition, and compliance with housing quality standards for unit inspection.
F. Other Actions Undertaken
1. Public Facilities and Services
The City continues to implement its Growth Management Program, Since 1986 Carlsbad has been a
“growth management” city in which the major public facilities are being carefully planned, financed, and
their capacities sized to serve a targeted ultimate population and number of residential units. No new
development is approved unless performance standards of eleven public facilities are met. These eleven
public facilities include city administration, library, wastewater treatment, parks, drainage, circulation, fire,
2000-200 1 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 11
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
open space, schools, sewer collection, and water distribution.
The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) for FY 2000-2001 was developed to implement the City’s
General Plan goal of providing comprehensives public services, public facilities, and public building
programs for the citizens of Carlsbad concurrent with the need in connection with the development of the
City. The development of the CIP is dependent upon the availability of funding weighed against the
demand of the facility.
2. Redevelopment Activities
In early 1996, the City adopted the Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Implementation Strategy. The
Village Master Plan establishes a vision for the Redevelopment Area and specifies strategies to work
towards this vision.
In September 1996, the California Coastal Commission approved the Master Plan, which also serves as the
local Coastal Plan for the Coastal Zone within the Village Redevelopment Area.
Improving the physical appearance of the Village area is one of the goals of the Village Master Plan.
Stimulating property improvements and new development in the Village area is also of high priority. The
City continues to work with property owners and developers to facilitate the development of commercial
projects, which add to the economic vitality of the Redevelopment Project Area.
The City has revised its procedures and guidelines to streamline the administrative processing of
Redevelopment Permits. The adopted Master Plan specifies those activities which do not require any
Redevelopment Permit. It also allows for the approval of some activities by an Administrative Permit and
for new construction and major rehabilitation activities a Minor or Major Redevelopment Permit would be
required.
Limited space available to accommodate parking standards can also be a barrier to encouraging new
development in the Village Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Agency has adopted a new Parking
Program to assist in addressing parking issues in the Village. .The program allows improvements on
properties where it might otherwise not be feasible due to a lack of space to meet parking requirements.
Developers of such properties are allowed to pay fees into a fund instead of providing the required parking
spaces. Revenue from the fund will be used to pay for parking facilities in the future.
The City is encouraging the development and maintenance of affordable housing projects within the
Redevelopment Area. The City continues to meet with and encourage property owners of residential rental
projects to rehabilitate their projects and guarantee units as affordable for lower income households. The
Redevelopment Agency also purchased the 75 unit Tyler Court seniors apartment complex during the
1999-2000 program year, which is operated by a nonprofit agency as an affordable housing project.
3. Economic Development
In the same vein of these individual efforts to revitalize and economically enhance the Village
Redevelopment Area, the City has also embarked on a city wide plan. In December of 1994, the City
Council of Carlsbad authorized the development of an Economic Development Strategic Plan. An
Economic Development Strategic Plan was adopted in 1997. This Plan identifies roles, strategies and
action plans for stabilizing and strengthening the overall economic environment in Carlsbad.
Consistent with the Economic Development Strategic Plan, the City has developed a community
promotion and marketing plan. The City continues to meet with Chief Executive Officers, Presidents, and
2000-2001 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 12
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
General Managers of businesses located within the City’s industrial corridor. The Economic Development
Manager has participated with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce and CEEC in order to coordinate
economic development activities. Other activities include the development of promotional materials
highlighting the positive aspects of the community and maintenance of a comprehensive market database
for the City.
In order to assist new and expanding businesses in Carlsbad, the City continues to evaluate administrative
procedures and policies that may serve as a barrier to development. Additionally, the City has implemented
a fast tracking process for economic development projects.
4. Public Policy
In an effort to remove or ease the negative effects of public policies affecting the availability of affordable
housing in the City of Carlsbad, the City has undertaken work on the following activities:
a. City Fee Schedules & Proiect Processing
The City has reviewed and revised, where appropriate, the fee payment schedule. In general, application
fees for land use entitlements increased, while plan check fees for building, engineering and landscaping
decreased.
Because the City’s Inclusionary Housing Program affects all new residential subdivisions, and because of
the variety of land use and financing tools which the City has made available to assist with meeting this
requirement, the City has established specific procedures for the processing of residential projects.
Preliminary consultation with key senior City staff of several departments enables issues and problems to
be defined and resolved early in the process. Importantly, this consultation enables staff and the developer
to negotiate any requested project incentives (density bonuses, financial incentives, deviations in the
development standards, project design concepts, etc). Once a project is submitted to the City for review
and approval, it is assigned to an interdepartmental team to be expedited through the approval and hearing
process.
The Community Development Department has completed a comprehensive evaluation of the entire
organization, including its mission, goals, programs, and procedures. From this effort, changes have been
made which increase the effectiveness and efficiency by which the City processes all development
proposals. One particular area that is helpful is the “fast track” process for affordable housing projects.
As allowed by City Council Policy Number 17, housing projects, which provide dwelling units affordable
to lower-income households may be exempt from the payment of the City’s Public Facilities Fees (PFF),
where the City determines that such an exemption is necessary for the financial feasibility of such a
project. Numerous affordable housing projects have been found exempt from the requirement to pay the
PFF, per City Council Policy 17.5.e.
b. Flexible Development Standards
City Council Ordinance NS-207 modified the city’s Site Development Plan permit process to authorize the
City to exercise flexibility in reviewing special project designs for affordable housing on a case-by-case
basis. Often deviations from the normally required development standards are necessary to increase
density and assist in the financial feasibility of developing low-income affordable housing.
This ordinance has proven to be an important tool in implementation of the City’s Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance. It has been used in several projects reviewed during this reporting period.
2000-2001 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 13
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
C. Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance
The City has revised its Second Dwelling Unit Section of the Municipal Code to provide greater flexibility
for developers and existing home owners interested in pursuing the construction of these units. Some
developers have expressed their interest in incorporating second dwelling units into newly constructed
single family residences to satisfy their Inclusionary Housing obligation.
d. Density Bonus & Densitv Increase
The City’s Density Bonus Ordinance, which implements Government Code Section 65913.4 and 65915,
has been in effect since April 1994. The Density Bonus Ordinance permits a “minimum increase of at
least 25 percent over the number of housing units within the existing structure or structures proposed for
conversion” or “25 percent over either the Growth Management Control Point of the applicable General
Plan designation or the otherwise maximum allowable residential density as specified by the applicable
master plan or specific plan, at the time of application.” In return, the developer would be guaranteeing a
minimum of 50 percent of the units for seniors; 20 percent of the units for low-income households or 10
percent for very low-income households. In accordance with provisions of the Ordinance, these units must
remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years.
To compliment the City’s ordinance implementing State density bonus law, the City Council adopted
amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan. These amendments allow the City to grant an
increase in density above maximum permitted by the General Plan through a Site Development Plan,
during the approval of which the City conducts a review of certain defined location and compatibility
criteria.
e. Inclusionarv Housing
The City’s Inclusionary Housing ordinance has been in effect since May 1993. The Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance requires that a minimum of 15 percent of all residential units approved in a Master Plan area,
Specific Plan area, and all other residential developments of 7 or more dwelling units must be occupied
and affordable to lower-income households.
5. Institutional Structure
a. The five-member Housing Commission continues to meet once a month to assist in
facilitating the development of affordable and supportive housing activities. The Housing Commission
reviews and makes recommendations to the City Council on housing policies, programs, regulations, and
financial assistance to affordable housing projects.
b. The City has been engaged in a number of network building activities with governmental
and private for-profit and non-profit sector. The City is represented on the North County Homeless Task
Force, the Fair Housing Resource Board, the CDBG Coordinator’s Group, and attends HOME Roundtable
Meetings for San Diego County.
6. Intergovernmental Cooperation
a. During this reporting period, the City of Carlsbad continued its administration of
affordable housing activities. Projects funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development included the City’s Section 8 Rental Assistance Program which subsidizes the rental costs of
low-income families through the issuance of “Housing Choice Vouchers”.
2000-200 1 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 14
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
b. The City is an entitlement community in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Prior to gaining entitlement
status, the City was involved with the County of San Diego’s Urban County Program for administration of
CDBG funds.
C. The City of Carlsbad continues to contract with the County of San Diego to administer
and implement a single family residential rehabilitation program on behalf of the City. The City will
continue to contract with the County of San Diego to administer and implement this program as funds
become available and the County continues to demonstrate adequate performance.
d. The City continues to participate with the County of San Diego and other San Diego
County jurisdictions in a regional Mortgage Credit Certificate Program. All participating jurisdictions
meet on a quarterly basis to discuss issues and share resources related to the MCC program or other first
time home buyer programs.
e. The City has been meeting on a periodic basis with other North County communities and
social service providers to evaluate the possibility of developing a permanent regional, entry-level, service
enhanced homeless shelter. A task force has been formed and is meeting to provide guidance on
establishing a shelter in North County. A site for the proposed shelter has been identified in the City of
Vista and an interim shelter has been established in Vista until the permanent facility is constructed. The
City has provided funding assistance for the interim shelter and has allocated funding to help develop the
proposed permanent shelter.
In 2000-2001 the City of Carlsbad participated with the County of San Diego in a Cold Weather Shelter
Voucher program. The City also assisted the City of Vista in funding the operation of a temporary
emergency winter shelter in Vista during the 2000-2001 program year.
7. Public Housing Improvements
The City of Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency owns the 75 unit Tyler Court apartment complex for seniors.
8. Public HousinP Resident Initiatives
No public housing resident initiatives were initiated during the 2000-2001 program year,
9. Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
The City of Carlsbad continues to provide all households receiving Section 8 rental assistance or
participating in the City’s Residential Rehabilitation Program information regarding the hazards of lead
based paint, treatment for lead poisoning, precautionary measures to avoid lead poisoning, and the
advisability and availability of blood screening for lead poisoning.
All rehabilitation activities funded through the City’s CDBG Program are provided with information and
examined for chipping and flaking paint. Appropriate measures are taken for testing and abatement.
10. Affiativelv Furthering Fair Housing
a. The City, through the use of funds allocated under the Community Development Block
Grant Entitlement Program for administrative expenses, has renewed its agreement with Heartland Human
Relations & Fair Housing Association (HHRA). I-IHRA provides fair housing services, which includes
2000-200 1 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 15
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
counseling, tenant/landlord mediation, education seminars, and mitigation and/or prevention of housing
discrimination practices.
HHRA assisted 29 Carlsbad residents during the 2000-2001 program year. As of June 30, 2001, 19 of
those cases have been resolved, 8 are under ongoing review, and 2 have been referred to other agencies.
HHRA also provided fair housing information brochures to the City,which are distributed to the public in
libraries and various City offices. HHRA also conducted education seminars to help individuals
understand their housing rights, to help landlords and owners understand their responsibilities, and to help
City staff better understand fair housing issues. HHRA provided workshops or presentations for 202
individuals . City staff is working with HHRA to conduct a workshop in a City facility scheduled for July
19,2001. An as yet to be scheduled training session for City staff is also to be held during the coming year.
b. City staff continued distribution of a Fair Housing Information Sheet, which was
developed by staff to inform the media and public on fair housing issues. A page has also been included
on the City’s Housing and Redevelopment Department Internet Website (www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us) regarding
fair housing issues with phone numbers to call for more information or guidance in filing complaints. All
participants in the Section 8 Tenent Based Rental Assistance Program receive a fair housing booklet and
complaint form for submittal if they encounter situations which they think represent a violation of fair
housing law. Fair Housing information is also included in workshops held for landlords participating in
the Section 8 Program. Staff also participated in development of a Regional Analysis of Impediments to
Fair Housing with the San Diego Fair Housing Resource Board and San Diego Fair Housing Council. The
Regional Analysis has been submitted to HUD for review and comment. Staff will continue to participate
as a member of the Fair Housing Resource Board to implement activities that address the impediments
identified in the Regional Analysis.

PART II. ASSESSMENT OF ANNUAL PERFORMANCE
A. Assessment of Performance
The following is an assessment of the City’s effectiveness of performance during this reporting period in
the achievement of the City’s objectives and priorities for affordable housing assistance and community
development activities for low and moderate income households.
1. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
a. OBJECTIVE: Provide direct benefit to lower income persons through the provision or
retention of affordable housing units within Carlsbad
The City exceeded its one-year goal of assisting 812 non-homeless households obtain affordable housing
in Carlsbad by 319 households for a total of 1131 through the provision of rental assistance, first-time
home buyer programs, acquisition of existing units and new construction.
Section 8 Tenant Based Rental Assistance: As of June 30, 2001, 509 very low-income renter households
were participants in the City’s Section 8 Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program. The Section 8 Program
allows for a maximum assistance of 628 households. The City received a new allocation of 50 Housing
Choice Vouchers effective in October of 2000 and has been notified of an award of 75 Housing Choice
Vouchers that will be effective in October of 2001.
Carlsbad Home Buver Assistance Program (CHAP): The CHAP has been developed in cooperation with
the Bank of America in response to their mandatory inclusionary housing obligation. $3.22 million has
been reserved for the program. All administrative and marketing expenditures are the responsibility of the
Housing and Redevelopment Department. A total of 19 loans totaling $380,000 were approved during the
2000-2001 reporting period.
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program: Through the San Diego County Regional program,
established to provide lower and moderate-income households assistance in purchasing a home, one
moderate income Carlsbad household was assisted in the purchase of their home.
New Construction: The City has made considerable progress in implementing various programs and
adopting ordinances/policies which set the regulatory and incentive stage for construction of affordable
housing.
1. The City has worked with numerous for-profit and non-profit developers on new construction and
acquisition/rehabilitation projects. Several projects amounting to 1,724 new housing units have been
constructed or are being proposed to satisfy affordable housing requirements of new developments as
called for in Section 21.85 of the City’s Municipal Code. The City also received a Section 108 CDBG loan
to assist in development of the 344 unit Villa Loma Apartments affordable housing project. Please see
Appendix B to this report for a list of projects (approved and pending). Of the 1,724 units, 939 units have
already been constructed, 86 units are under construction, and 699 units have been approved or are
proposed for review by the City Council. A total of 258 new units were constructed during the 2000-2001
program year. (138 unit Laura1 Tree Apartments, 92 unit Poinsettia Station Apartments, and 28 units in
the Ranch0 Carrillo development.)
2. The City continues to require compliance with the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, which
requires the reservation and affordability of housing units for lower-income households in residential
projects and the payment of an In-lieu or Inclusionary Housing Impact Fee in specified circumstances.
Residential developments subject to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance will be the principle means
2000-2001 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 17
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
by which the City will achieve progress on its objectives for construction of housing affordable to lower-
income households.
3. The City offers a minimum 25 percent increase in residential density if the residential project will
reserve and make affordable housing units for moderate and lower-income households under a Citywide
Residential Density Bonus Program. In addition, the City previously adopted amendments to the Land Use
Element of Carlsbad’s General Plan to permit additional density increases in many areas of the City for the
development of housing affordable to lower-income households.
4. The City previously adopted an amendment to the Carlsbad Municipal Code to allow
modifications in development and design standards through application for approval of a site development
plan for affordable housing projects. This ordinance has proven to be an important tool in implementation
of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. It has been used in numerous projects reviewed during this
reporting period.
5. The City has adopted an Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee and an Inclusionary Housing Impact
Fee, as required by the City’s Inclusionary Housing ordinance. The In-Lieu Fee and the Housing Impact
Fee as amended by City Council are $4,515 per housing unit and $2,925 per housing unit, respectively.
Accounts have been established as repositories of the collected fees. All fees collected will be used
exclusively to facilitate the construction, preservation, and maintenance of affordable housing.
6. The City continues to encourage participation by private organizations in these activities. The City
offers financial assistance, when deemed appropriate, as an incentive to maintain and preserve existing
affordable housing.
b. OBJECTIVE: Provide shelter or services to homeless or near homeless persons/families
which result in an improved situation through employment, permanent housing, treatment
of mental or substance abuse problems, etc.
In 2000-2001, the City exceeded its one-year goal of assisting 1,059 homeless or near homeless persons
with shelter or other supportive services by assisting a total of 1,190 Carlsbad persons through eight North
San Diego County organizations funded by the City of Carlsbad’s CDBG program. Approximately 404 of
the homeless persons/households were assisted through the only homeless shelter located in Carlsbad
(Catholic Charities’ La Posada de Guadalupe). Another 102 persons were assisted through Brother Benno
Foundation, and 265 persons were assisted by the Community Resource Center in Encinitas. (See Table
1.5 for complete listing of providers.)
c. OBJECTIVE: Provide direct assistance to lower income households to prevent or
eliminate residential building or municipal code violations and/or improve the quality of
housing units through residential (rental and/or owner-occupied) rehabilitation programs.
As established in the Consolidated Plan Annual Plan, residential rehabilitation is the City’s primary
strategy for assisting very low and low-income homeowners. The City did not meet its one-year goal of
assisting 5 lower income single family homeowners with loans/grants to rehabilitate their residences. No
rehabilitation projects were completed as no applicants were eligible for the program. The main reason for
this lack of eligible applications was due to the requirement that homes in the San Diego area to be
improved with HOME funds must not be valued at over $239,250 after completion of the improvements.
Due to the recent increase in Carlsbad property values, very few properties in the City now qualify for the
rehabilitation program with use of HOME funds. CDBG funds allocated to the program are set aside for
use on rehabilitation projects that require abatement measures for lead based paint hazards.
2000-200 1 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 18
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
The City of Carlsbad continues to contract with the County of San Diego to administer and implement the
single family residential rehabilitation program on behalf of the City, even though implementation of this
program has been slow. The City will continue to work with the County to encourage more participation
of Carlsbad residents.
2. GENERAL SOCIAL SERVICES
a. OBJECTIVE: Provide assistance to nonprofit service providers who meet the basic
needs of lower income persons. (Basic needs are defined as those which provide food,
shelter, clothing and, in some cases, health care)
Basic needs were provided to approximately 975 lower income Carlsbad persons through seven nonprofit
agencies funded by the City of Carlsbad’s CDBG program during the 2000-2001 program year. This was
216 persons short of meeting the City’s one-year goal of assisting 1,191. The main reason for not meeting
this goal was the drastic decrease in Carlsbad residents seeking services from the Brother Benno Center. It
was anticipated that approximately 320 residents would be served at the Center during the 2000-2001
program year, while a total of 79 residents were served at the facility. (It should be noted that many of
these persons/households are also reported under the “shelter or services to homeless or near homeless
persons/families” objective.)
b. OBJECTIVE: Provide assistance to nonprofit public service providers who offer
counseling and self-improvement programs/activities for lower income persons
The City exceeded its one-year goal of assisting 54 lower income persons with counseling and/or self
improvement programs/activities by providing CDBG funds totaling $14,000 to Casa de Amparo and the
Women’s Resource Center. The two organizations provided counseling services to 105 Carlsbad residents
during the 2000-2001 program year.
3. SPECIALIZED SOCIAL SERVICES
a. OBJECTIVE: Provide assistance to organizations which administer programs that
directly benefit lower income children living in Carlsbad. The programs must provide one
or more of the following activities: day care, after-school care, cultural enrichment,
recreation, health care/iimunization or self-improvement. The City may also give priority
to single-parent assistance programs such as counseling services
A total of $18,800 in CDBG funds were distributed to three organizations which provided programs to 466
children during the 2000-2001 program year. This did not meet the City’s one-year goal of providing
programs for 540 children. The goal was not met as a result of enrollment in several of the youth programs
not meeting anticipated levels of participation.
b. OBJECTIVE: Provide assistance to organizations that administer programs that
directly benefit low income adults living in Carlsbad. The programs must provide one or
more of the following activities for adults: employment services, job training, and
educational programs. Program designed for elderly adult only must provide one or more
of the following activities: meals, homemaking or personal assistance services, financial
assistance services, counseling, transportation, or shared housing or other housing related
services.
The City allocated $17,000 in CDBG funds between three local agencies that assisted 171 elderly Carlsbad
residents through programs that provide, meals, homemaking or personal assistance services, financial
2000-2001 Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Report 19
CITY OF CARLSBAD
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT
assistance services, counseling, transportation, or other services. This did not meet the City’s goal of
assisting 472 residents, mainly because of a decrease in residents requesting services from North County
Council on Aging, which served only 54 residents when they expected to assist 300 residents during the
2000-2001 program year.
B. Future Actions
The following is a discussion of future actions the City proposes to take, or changes to the City’s five-year
strategy proposed, as a result of assessing the City’s annual Consolidated Plan performance.
1. The City’s general policy strategies for affordable housing have not changed since the Consolidated
Plan five-year plan was developed. The priorities for assistance include:
Develop new construction;
Acquisition of facilities/housing;
Provide moderate/substantial rehabilitation;
Provide rental/home buyer assistance; and
Provide support facilities and services.
2. The City’s general priorities for target groups by income classification, family category, and tenure have
also not changed since the adoption of the Consolidated Plan five-year plan (2000-2005). The priorities for
assistance of target groups include:
;:
C.
Very low-income or low-income households;
Elderly, non-elderly small related, non-elderly large related households, or all others; and
Renter, existing home owner, or first time home buyer.
3. The City’s general policy strategies for providing affordable housing or supportive housing services and
its priorities for target groups by income classification, family category, and tenure will be revised in
conformance with the regulations and requirements for the Consolidated Plan. Revisions will be submitted
for public review and comment through the required public participation process described in Appendix A.
