The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the poplation of the City of Carlsbatl increased
by abut 25% between 1990 and 2Q00, g&ng from 82,848 to 78,247 pwple. The City's
papulation is expected to increase to 128,700 by 2030.' If these estimates hold true, the City will
more than douMe in size in 40 years. Hausing units numbered n.118 in 1890 and are tafgded
to increase by only 87% in that Same time period.2 HoctsshoM size in the region has hen
trending downward, #@tq a need for an even greater number of housing units.3 This paper
examines housing production in Cadsttad and considers whether it will be wiufficient to house the
future papulation, particularly for those earning less #an the median income. It also considers
whether the type of housing currently being buiff io likely to satisfy the needs and desires of
Carlsbsd's future residents

CarIsbad is predominantly white (88.8%). Hispanics are the second most populous
group (1 1.7%) with small numbers of Asians, Blacks and people of dhef races (see Table 2,
below). Given current growth rales and projections, the statewide Hispanic population is
8Xpeded to double by 2025 to over 21 million, and will eventually surpass the non-Hispanic White
population as the dominant ethnic group in Calif~mia.~

66.3% of total households, but less than half of those households have children under 18 yean

of the total households, consistent with the nationwide decline in the traditional "2-parent/2.2 kid'

From its original 7.5 quare miles and 7,000 peoge, Carlsbad grew to its current 42.2
square miles (24,788 acres) and estimated 95,000 people.' Carlsbad's incorporated are8 is not
expected to grow appreciably in the future, meaning that future growth will occur onfy from within.
While about 55% of the land within San Diego County is owraed by the government,' only 25% of
Carlsbad's land is government-owned or othetwise devoted to pubtic sedor uses (e,g. utilities,
5
roads and railroads, parks and open space).9 Fifty-mven percent of the total land area (14.194
acres) is designated andlor zoned for residential use
Since 1986, CNlsbad has been a 'growth management" city in which the major public
facilities are planned, financed and their capacities sized to serve a targeted uitimete population
and number of residential units. The population target at "buiklout" is 128,700 and the Growth
Management Limit is 54,800 housing unRs. Based upon that target number of residential units,
the City is developed to about 74% of its capaclty as of January 2005.'' Another 11% of the
capacity (6,200 units) has been planned andlor is in construction. The City expects that the
remaining 15% of residential capacity (8,088 units) will consist of in-filt development."

As of Janusry I, 2005, there were 40.320 total housing units in the City of Carisbad.''
l?e ratio of owners to renters is 67#2,'3 which is consistent with the national average of 70%
home ownership yet mftsideraMy higher than the historic countywids average of 50% home
ownership.'4 Developers twift 1,480 units in FY 2002,725 units in N 2003 and 591 in FY
ZOCM.'~ The decline in housing produdion is expected to reverse as several large master-
planned communities develop (e-g. Villages of La Costa, Calsvera Hills, Sressi Ranch, K&Iy
Ranch). The City permitted 1,475 units in 2004,15% mcm units thaZ the 1,263 permitted Cn
2003.'* All told, the City has apprPved 8,5$0 units for mnstrudion since 2000."
Anyone who thinks [and tries to convince others) that Carfsbad has "outlawed" multi-
family attached housing is just plain wrong, In 2004, about 57% of ala residential construction
6
consisted of multifamily attached housing (802 of 1,051
looking et construction since 2000: t 9% of all permitted units are apartments, 22% am
condominiums, and 59% are single-family detached and other (e.@ second dwelling units,
duplexes)." Of the total number of units built over the past five years, $5% were single-family
The breakdown is similar when
Unlike other cities in the region. Cadstsad's zoning classifitions permit a wide
range of housing types wlth varying dens& levels (8.g. twnhomes).
The City has strived mightily to gmvMe affordable housing pursuant to its lndusionary
Musing Ordinance that was adopted In 1993 and amended in 2000. Rental housing has been
the most common product type developed to satkfy the requirements of the Low
income housing (both apartments and secodld dwelling units) built during FY2504 accounted for
8% (50 units) of ProdUctiOn. The apartmnl, featurfng one to lhree bedrooms, had rents from
$99 to $1,326. Based on nnts charged, 53 market rate apartments, or roughly 9% of total
production, were affordable to moderate-income famiiies (e.@., $78,1M) for B famlly of four).
Thew one to three bedroom units had rents from $1,400 to $2,0#0.22 Since 1993, 1367
affordable houslng units have bsen oonstnrcted; 427 units am under construction or pending
construction, and over 350 am In the application pFocassing or plsnnlng stages (see Affordable
Housing in Carisbad. updated February 2,2005, provided by the City to padicipents in the

While these numbers am relatively small in petcentage terms, the City - like all other
Mies in the fegion - faces enormous challenges in producing housing affordatit? to very low, low
and moderatslnwrne families. City officials attribute the produdion of primarily upscale housing
to the following fadors:
