Carisbad is predominantly white (86.6%). Hispanics are the second most populous
group (1 1.7%) with small numbers of Asians, Blacks and people of other rams (see Table 2,

expected to double by 2025 to over 21 million, end will svefltually surpass the non-Hispanic White
population as the dominant ethnic group in

According to the 2000 Census, a little over twcbthirzts of Carl '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 resldents serve in the Armed Forces. Almost half (449.2%) of the employed civilian
population work in Management, Professional and related occupations. The three biggesl
industries in terms of employment are Educational, HeaRh and Social Services ('17.8%),
P~f~essionallScientificlManagernent (1 5%) and Manufacturing (1 1 .S%]. Most wockers are private
salaried employees (73.7%). Government workers and self-employed workers each represent
about 73% of the City's workers, Aimast 80% of the City's residents drive alone to work: a scant
two percent utilize public transportation.
Carisbad exhibits a high level of educational attainment. Of residents 25 yean and over,
93% were high school graduates and almost 46% had bachelor's OF higher degrees (see Tabk 5,

111. 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 wrill mur only from within.
While about 55% of the land within San Dislgo County is owned by the government,' only 25% of
Carlsbad's land is government-msd or otherwise devoted to public sedor uses (e.9. utilities,
5
. roads and railroads, parks and open space).g Fifty-seven percent of the total land area (14,194
acres) is designated and/or zoned for residentlal use.
Since 1986, Carlsbad has been a 'growth management" city in which the major public
facilities are planned, financed and their capacities sized to serve a targeted ultimate population
and number of residential units. The population target at "buildout" is 128,700 and the Growth
Menagement Limit is 54,600 housing units. Based upon that target number of residential units,
the City is developed to about 74% of its c%paGity as of January 2005.'* 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.
As of January f ,2005, there were 40,320 total housing units in the City of Carlsbad.'2
The ratio of owners to renten is 67M2,13 did\ is consistent with the national average of 709b
home ownership yet conskfefabh( hlgher than the hWOrfG muntywide average of 50% home
~wnership.'~ Developers built 1,480 units in FY 2002,725 units in FY 2003 and 591 in N
2t104.'5 The decline in housing produdion is expected to reverse as several large master-
planned communities develop (e$, Villages of La Costa, Cslavera Hills, Bressi Ranch, Kelly
Ranch). The City pennittecl1.475 units En 2004,15% mwe units that the 1,263 permitted in
2003.'' All told, the City has approved 6,590 units for construction since ~O~JO.'~
Anyone who thinks (and tries to co-nvince others) that Caddad has "outlawe# multi-
family attached housing is just plain wrong. In 2004, about 57% of all residential construction
6
conslstsd of multifamily attached housing (802 of 1,051 units).‘8 The breakdown is similar when
looking at construction since 2000: f 9% of all permitted units ere apartments, 22% am
condominiums, and 59% are single-family detached and other {@.a- second dwelling units,
duplexes).” Of the tdal number of units built over the past five years, 65% were singlefamily
detached.” Unlike other cities in the region, Carlad’s zoning ctassifn;ations permit a wide
range of housing types with varying density levels @.g. townhomes).
The City has strived mightily to provide affordable housing pulxuant to its lndusianery
Housing Ordinance that was adopted in 1993 and amended in 2000. Rentaf housing has been
the mast common product type developed to satisfy the requirements of the Ordinance.” Low-
income housing (both epertments and semd dwelling units) buitt dudng FY2004 accounted for
8% (50 units} of production. The apartments, featurfng one to three bedrooms, had rents from
$3M to $1,320, Based on rents charged, 53 market rate apartments. or roughly 9% of total
production, wm afirr8able to moderate-income families (q., $76,100 for B family of four).
These one to thm besworn unb had rents from %i,400 to $2,000.22 Since 1993,1367
affordable housing units hare been eonstmcted; 427 units are under construdion or pending
construction, sncl over 350 are in the application processing of planning stages (see Affordable
Housing in Carisbad, updated February 2,2005, provided by the City to participants In the
Casisbad Citizen’s Academy on March fO, 2005, attached as Appendix €3).
While these numbers am relatlvely small in percentage terms, the City - like all &her
cities fn the region - faces enormaus challenges in producing housing affordable to very low, law
and moderate-inoome families. City oMdats attribute the pnxludion of primarily upscale homing
to the following factors:
% demand for higher-end hwsing remains strong
7
3. tax incerrtives far producing affordable housing are few
3 land Gosts am high, and
i pmrtt masgins on irffordsble housing are low bemw of high per-square-foot produdion Gasts (despite lower, relatively Sable or declining interest rates)n
When the City considered including 8 modems-income requirement a part of its indusionary
housing ordinance in the early 1990'5, the requirement was set aside when the private Mor
sssured the City tnst it woufd produce moderateincome housing wfthout indusionary
requirements. Based upon this assurance. the City made a conscious decision to focus its wm
r~~~utces end effcwts on tower-incame housing. Unfortunatety, the building industry's production
of modemte--lncome housing has avetagsd only about 5% of annual housing output since 1994."
Tb community's ability to produce afforrlaMe housing is expedsd to be a significant chailenge
for years to come.
6.
Many of the new hmes being bul8 in Cartsbad are 2,500 square fegt or more, with large
numbers of single-family detached hOm8$ in the 4-5 bedroom, 3000 square foot and up "luxury
home' category.25 No doubt the buladir'rg industry has 8 weatth of data to show strong demand for
thk tpe of housing, and wouM also argue that no &her type makes momic sells8 given
current market wnditii. It is debatable, haweuer, whether many of the homes being produced
in Casfsbad - on the rapidly shrinlcing inventory of raw fand - am likely to meet the needs and
desires of its future poauletion.
Although only atwt 12% of the Cis current populatiun is Hispanic, the percentage
likely will gm significantly in the Mun! 8s the statewide Hispanic population is expeded to
