I am currently enrolled in the UCSD Extension Professional Certificate program in Urbao
Plannrng and Development. The program provides "kcbnical tools and the legal fhmework for

I. INTRODUCTION
The US. Census Bureau estimates that the population of the City of Carlsbad increased
by about 25% between 1990 and 2000, gfmving from 62,846 to 78,247 people. The City’s
population is expected to increase to 128,700 by 2030.‘ If these estimates hold true, the City will
more than double in size in 40 years. Housing units numbered 27,119 in 1990 and are targeted
to increase by only 87% in that same time period.2 Household size in the region has been
trending downward, creating a need for an even greater number of housing units3 This paper
examines housing production in Carlsbad and considers whether it will be suMcient to house the
future population, particularly for those earning less than the median income. It also considers
whether the type of housing currently being built is likely to satisv the needs and desires of
Carlsbad’s future residents.
II. AH
As of April 1,2000, the median age of Carlsbad residents was 39 years, somewhat
higher than the statewide median age of 34 years and the national median age of 35 years.
Almost 19% of the City’s population was school age (5 lo 19 years old), and almost 18% of the
Number
78,247

As of April 1, 2000, Carisbad had just under 10,000 foreign-born immigrants, representing 12.7%
of the City’s population. English was the only language spoken at home in 83% of households,
compared with 9.4% for Spanish, 4.4% for other Indo-European languages, and 2.6% for Asian
~anguages.~
The average household size in Carlsbad is 2.46 people. Families of all types comprise
66.3% of total households, but less than half of those households have children under 18 years
(see Table 3, below). Households with individuals under 18 make up about only about one-thid
of the total households, consistent with the nationwide decline in the traditional “2-parenU2.2 kid”
household that was common in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Marriage is still, however, very much in

According to the 2000 Census, a little over two-thirds of Carlsbad's residents 16 years or
older were employed, with the vast majority in the civilian labor force; less than one percent of the
City's residents serve in the Armed Forces. Almost half (49.2%) of the employed civilian
population work in Management, Professional and related occupations. The three biggest
industries in terms of employment are Educational, Health and Social Services (17.8%),
Professional/Scientific/Management (1 5%) and Manufacturing (1 1.9%). Most workers are private
salaried employees (73.7%). Government workers and self-employed workers each represent
about 13% of the City's workers. Almost 80% of the City's residents drive alone to work; a scant
two percent utilize public transportation.
Carlsbad exhibits a high level of educational attainment. Of residents 25 years and over,
93% were high school graduates and almost 46% had bachelor's or higher degrees (see Table 5,
below). These figures compare favorably with the national averages of 89% for high school
completion and 29% college graduates6

Commensurate with Carlsbad’s high level of educational attainment are relatively high
income levels. The median household income in Carlsbad in 1999 was $65,145 and 28.4% of
households reported income of over $100,000 per year. Median family income was even higher
at $77,151, up from $51,629 in 1990 (see Table 6, below).

Ill. LAND USE AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT
From its original 7.5 square miles and 7,000 people, Carlsbad grew to its current 42.2
square miles (24,788 acres) and estimated 95,000 people.7 Carlsbad’s incorporated area is not
expected to grow appreciably in the future, meaning that future growth will occur only from within.
While about 55% of the land within San Diego County is owned by the government,8 only 25% of
Carlsbad’s land is government-owned or otherwise devoted to public sector uses (e.g. utilities,

roads and railroads, parks and open pace).^ Fifty-seven percent of the total land area (14,194
acres) is designated and/or zoned for residential use.
Since 1986, Carlsbad has been a 'growth management" city in which the major public
facilities are planned, financed and their capacities sized to sewe a targeted ultimate population
and number of residential units. The population target at 'buildout" is 128,700 and the Growth
Management Limit is 54,600 housing units. Based upon that target number of residential units,
the City is developed to about 74% of its capacity as of January 2005.10 Another 11% of the
capacity (6,200 units) has been planned and/or is in construction. The City expects that the
remaining 15% of residential capacity (8,086 units) will consist of in-fill development."
IV. HOUSING SUPPLY AND DEMAND
A. SuDDlv
As of January 1,2005, there were 40,320 total housing units in the City of Carlsbad."
The ratio of owners to renters is 67/32,13 which is consistent with the national average of 70%
home ownership yet considerably higher than the historic countywide average of 50% home
owner~hip.'~ Developers built 1,460 units in FY 2002, 725 units in FY 2003 and 591 in FY
2004.'~ The decline in housing production is expected to reverse as several large master-
planned communities develop (e.g. Villages of La Costa, Calavera Hills, Bressi Ranch, Kelly
Ranch). The City permitted 1,475 units in 2004, 15% more units th&* the 1,263 permitted in
2003.16 All told, the City has approved 6,590 units for construction since 2OOO."
Anyone who thinks (and tries to convince others) that Carlsbad has "outlawed" multi-
family attached housing is just plain wrong. In 2004, about 57% of all residential construction

consisted of multifamily attached housing (602 of 1,051 units).‘* The breakdown is similar when
looking at construction since 2000: 19% of all permitted units are apartments, 22% are
condominiums, and 59% are single-family detached and other (e.g. second dwelling units,
duplexes).’g Of the total number of units built over the past five years, 65% were single-family
detached.m Unlike other cities in the region, Carlsbad’s zoning classifications penit a wide
range of housing types with varying density levels (e.9. townhomes).
The City has strived mightily to provide affordable housing pursuant to its lnclusionary
Housing Ordinance that was adopted in 1993 and amended in 2000. Rental housing has been
the most common product type developed to satisfy the requirements of the Ordinance.2‘ Low-
income housing (both apartments and second dwelling units) built during FY2004 accounted for
8% (50 units) of production. The apartments, featuring one to three bedrooms, had rents from
$950 to $1,326. Based on rents charged, 53 market rate apartments, or roughly 9% of total
production, were affordable to moderateincome families (e.g., $763 00 for a family of four).
These one to three bedroom units had rents from $1,400 to $2,0W.22 Since 1993, 1367
affordable housing units have been constructed; 427 units are under construction or pending
construction, and over 350 are in the application processing or planning stages (see Affordable
Housing in Carlsbad, updated February 2,2005, provided by the City to participants in the
Carlsbad Citizen’s Academy on March 10,2005, attached as Appendix B).
while these numbers art? relatively small in percentage terms, the City - like all other
cities in the region - faces enormous challenges in producing housing affordable to very low, low
and moderate-income families. City officials attribute the production of primarily upscale housing
to the following factors:
demand for higher-end housing remains strong

3 tax incentives for producing affordable housing are few
P land costs are high, and
3 profd margins on affordable housing are low because of high per-square-foot production costs (despite lower, relatively stable or declining interest rates)n
When the City considered including a moderate-income requirement as part of its inclusionary
housing ordinance in the early 1990’s, the requirement was set aside when the private sector
assured the City that it would produce moderate-income housing without inclusionary
requirements. Based upon this assurance, the City made a conscious decision to focus its own
resources and efforts on lower-income housing. Unfortunately, the building industry’s production
of moderate-income housing has averaged only about 5% of annual housing output since 1994.24
The community’s ability to produce affordable housing is expected to be a significant challenge
for years to come.
8. Demand
Many of the new homes being built in Carlsbad are 2,500 square feet or more, with large
numbers of single-family detached homes in the 4-5 bedroom, 3000 square foot and up ‘luxury
home” No doubt the building industry has a wealth of,data to show strong demand for
this type of housing, and would also argue that no other type makes economic sense given
current market conditions. It is debatable, however, whether many of the homes being produced
in Catisbad - on the rapidly shrinking inventory of raw land -- are likely to meet the needs and
desires of its future population.
Although only about 12% of the City’s current population is Hispanic, the percentage
likely will grow significantly in the future as the statewide Hispanic population is expected to
double in the next 20 years.26 It has been observed that Hispanics (and Asians) are ‘close
contact” ~ocieties.~’ Hispanics, as a population, demonstrate a tendency to cluster together, live
in more crowded conditions, and reside in neighborhoods characterized by low-levels of

> are significantly less willing to pay for an increase in space - as measured by the
number of rooms. 29
Based on these findings, it seems reasonable to conclude that Carisbad’s Hispanic population will
continue to gravitate towards more urban neighborhoods (Le. the Village) as opposed to the
suburban areas.
v. CONCLUSION
The City of Cartsbad is approaching ”build-out.” At times the City’s growth management
goals seem to clash with state-mandated housing goals. Decisions made over the next 20-25
years will have a lasting impact on the community. Demographic trends point to significant
growth in the Hispanic population during that time period. The City needs to continue to work
hard to ensure that the supply of housing meets projected demand both quantitatively and
qualitatively.
Because so little raw land is available in the downtown areas, City plannets, private
builders and community leaders must strive to ensure that in-fill development in the Village
Redevelopment Area provides an appropriate mix of housing for people of all income levels and
ethnicity. Alongside traditional townhouses and condominium complexes, one can envision
smaller scourtyard” homes or garden apartments clustered around a central open space, enabling

extended families to live in close proximity to one another and share some common area, but not
necessarily all live under the same roof.
Meanwhile, the proliferation of new 4-5 bedroom single-family detached homes continues
in Carlsbad’s suburbs even as birth rates and household sizes decline, the median age rises, and
aging baby boomers begin retiring. Will there be enough white, college-educated, English-
speaking families with 2.2 children in the future to fill the spacious homes that are being built
today in Callsbad? Only time will tell.
