Su bject Authorize the 2017-2018 Community Development Block Grant Program
Action Plan Amendment
Recommended Action
Hold a public hearing and adopt a Resolution authorizing the 2017-2018 Community
Development Block Grant Program Action Plan Amendment and submittal of the amendment to
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Executive Summary
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the preparation of an
annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Action Plan to describe how
Federal funds will be used to benefit low income households. Upon any substantial change to
this plan an Amended Action Plan must be submitted to HUD after completion of a public hearing
and review process and City Council approval.
The city currently has funds that require appropriation to alternate projects for expenditure; the
total amount of funds to be reallocated is $750,000. The available funding is a result of previous
years undesignated program income, including a lease payment from the Villa Loma Apartments,
completed projects that did not request full reimbursement, as well as cancelled projects. To
remain in full financial compliance with HUD, it is necessary at this time for the city to appropriate
$750,000 to a project that is ready to implement and will move forward to completion as quickly
as possible. To expend the noted funds in an expeditious manner on a project that will have
immediate benefit to low income households, as required for the CDBG program, staff is
recommending that the city exercise our option and purchase affordable housing units as they
become available to the market. By taking this action, the city would recapture an affordable
housing unit and continue to utilize that unit to house a low income or possibly homeless family.
The units purchased would be managed by the City of Carlsbad or designee at the time of
purchase. Going forward, staff would also recommend adding language to future Action Plans
which would earmark any excess funds for the purchase of additional affordable housing units as
they become available.
Discussion
Annually, the City of Carlsbad receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to spend in our community
and for our residents. HUD has established program guidelines to ensure each community is
spending their grant dollars on eligible projects and in a timely manner. One of the measures of
March 13, 2018 Item #6 Page 1 of 152
successful program implementation is the timeliness of expenditures as of April 1 st of each year.
As of January 1, 2017 the city had 2.33 times our annual grant amount ($513,746) on balance and
not yet expended; the HUD standard is that a city may have no more than 1.5 times their annual
entitlement grant on balance as of April l5t. As a result, staff is recommending that the city be
proactive and set a plan in motion to expend the undesignated funds.
To help bring our CDBG program into compliance with the timeliness of expenditures
requirement (which is 1.5 times the city's annual grant amount), staff is working multiple
solutions. Previously, the city has used undesignated funds for various infra?tructure
improvements related to the ADA Transition Plan throughout the city and has used funds to
partner with Interfaith Community Services to purchase the Carlsbad Service Center. The funding
for these projects was a result of reprogrammed income from cancelled projects and program
income from the land lease for Villa Loma Apartments (the land for the Villa Loma Apartments
was purchased with CDBG funds and the lease payment is considered program income).
For the purposes of this Amendment, staff is recommending an additional solution to bring the
city's CDBG program into full compliance as well as an appropriation of previously allocated funds
for the purchase of affordable housing units or possibly other properties (residential) which
would serve to meet an affordable housing need.
The FY 2017-2018 CDBG Action Plan is recommended for amendment per Attachment A to the
Resolution and the proposed changes are shown in the strikeout and underline additions.
Fiscal Analysis
The City of Carlsbad has CDBG funds available to allow for the recommended allocation
{$750,000) and purchase of affordable housing units as described in the Amendment. Use of
these funds needs to be expedited to ensure that the city meets expenditure requirements for
program year 2017-2018. Noncompliance with these requirements may result in the loss of
future federal funding.
The CDBG program is a fully funded federal program and does not impact the General Fund.
Next Steps
Upon City Council approval and successful submission of the 2017-2018 Annual Plan Amendment ,
to HUD, city staff will review the current available inventory and act as quickly as possible with
acquisition of available vacant affordable housing units.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in
the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and
therefore does not require environmental review.
Public Notification
Per federal regulation, this public hearing has been noticed 30 days in advance.

1. Introduction
Carlsbad occupies approximately 39 square miles of rolling hills, beaches and bluffs along the northern coast of San Diego County. The city is
located about 30 miles north of San Diego and about 90 miles south of Los Angeles. In addition to the Pacific Ocean coastline along its western
boundary, the communities surrounding Carlsbad include the city of Oceanside to the north, the city of Encinitas to the south, and the cities of
Vista and San Marcos and unincorporated areas of San Diego County to the east.
This Action Plan outlines Ca rlsbad's planned uses of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-2018. The
Action Plan describes the following: resources available, activities to be undertaken during FY 2017-2018 and their relation to the five year
strategic plan, other actions to address affordable housing, homelessness, and other special needs, as well as provides Carlsbad's Monitoring
Plan.
• Resources available

Outcome Categories-activities will meet one of the following:
1• Availability/Accessibility (1)
I
'• Affordability {2)
'• Sustainability {3)
The!City of Carlsbad has a range of housing and community development needs. CDBG funds alone are not adequate to address the various
needs identified during the public outreach process and summarized in the Needs Assessment of Carlsbad's Consolidated Plan {CP) FY 2015-
2019. Recognizing the national objectives of these funding programs and specific program regulations, the city intends to use these funds to I
coordinate programs, services, and projects to create a decent and suitable living environment to benefit low-and moderate-income households
andlthose with special needs. Needs which have been determined to be a High Priority level will receiving funding du ring this AP. Needs with a
Low Priority may be funded based on the availability of funds. The priorities for the FY 2015-2019 CP established in consultation with residents
andicommunity groups are:
High Priority:
• Increase the supply of affordable housing units
1• Provide supportive services for the homelessness, lower-income residents, and persons with special needs
I
;. Improve and provide facilities to serve lower income persons
I• Provide fair housing services to residents
;• Planning and administration

March 13, 2018 Item #6 Page 7 of 152
Low Priority:
• Conserve and rehabilitate the existing housing stock
The priorities identified above specifically address the use of CDBG funds. The city no longer receives its specific allocation of HOME funds from
the County of San Diego. The city facilitates the development of new affordable housing primarily through its lnclusionary Housing Program,
which is locally funded, and its' Housing Reserve Fund. The Carlsbad Housing Agency also administers the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
Program for low income tenants.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.
In the past, as a participant of the County's HOME Consortium, the City of Carlsbad would receive a small allocation of HOME funds for the city's
affordable housing activities. However, since 2014, the significant reductions in HOME funds necessitated the County to restructure its HOME
program to more efficiently expend the limited funds. The city no longer receives its specific allocation of HOME funds from the County. City
residents will continue to be eligible to apply for the HOME-funded Down payment and Closing Costs program via the a new program that began
in September of 2014 through a partnership between County of San Diego and the San Diego County Housing Commission.
In years past, the city utilized HOME and other funding to assist in the development of affordable housing. The city provided a total of
$3,750,000 in the form of residual receipts loans from the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside
Fund . In 2009, the city assisted San Diego Habitat for Humanity with the development of six condominium units (Roosevelt Garden) for lower-
income families. The city also provided financial assistance to Meta Housing Corporation for the Tavarua Senior Apartments, a SO-unit apartment
community completed in 2013. Ten of the 50 units are designated for qualifying older adults with mental illness eligible for supportive services
under the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) program. This program is part of a larger regional supportive housing initiative by the County of
San Diego's Behavioral Health Services Division (BHS) to link homeless or at risk of homelessness individuals with mental illness to permanent
housing and social services.
The city also provided HOME funds in 2012 to Solutions for Change to assist in the acquisition of Vista Terrace Apartments in the City of Vista to
serve as a regional resource for homeless families with children from the region who are graduating from their program which helps the families

become stable members of the community and provide them with homes. One unit in Vista Terrace was converted to a community room for
resiclents of the apartments. In 2014, the city provided an additional $454,000 to Solutions for Change in order to assist the agency with the
acquisition of a 16-unit apartment complex to be used for graduates of the Solutions University for homeless families.
i During the previous Consolidated Plan period, the city assisted over 9,000 homeless persons or persons at-risk of homelessness {duplicated
counts) with temporary shelter and supportive services. An additional 3,600 lower-income persons or persons with special needs were assisted
through a variety of public service programs, including the North County Health Services Immunization and Health Screening Program, after
school programs, and meal or food delivery programs.
In apdition, a total of six projects to improve community facilities have been completed since 2010, including the Casa de Amparo Twin Oaks
faciiity, Catholic Charities La Posada de Guadalupe Men's Shelter, North County Health Services Health Care Center, and Hospice of the North
t
Coast Hospice House. In 2016, the city partnered with Interfaith Community Services to acquire vacant commercial property which now serves t
as the Carlsbad Service Center. This Service Center is in the heart of the city and is easily accessible to all residents. Services such as case
management, job training, employment skills, job placement, emergency food distribution, and ESL classes are just some of the services
available.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process

AP-10 Consultation -91.100, 91.200(b}, 91.215(1)
1. Introduction
As part of the development of this AP, the City conducted an outreach program to consult and
coordinate nonprofit agencies, affordable housing providers, and government agencies regarding the
needs of the low-and moderate-income community. The outreach program has been summarized in
the Executive Summary and Citizen Participation sections of this AP.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1)).
The City of Carlsbad serves as the city's public housing agency whereby the Section 8 Rental Assistance
Program is implemented and administered daily. The city actively participates in a variety of coalitions
made up of affordable housing and community development coordinators from all 18 incorporated
cities and various nonprofit organizations in the San Diego region. These strong partnerships result
coordination of activities, sharing of information, and jointer operation of specific HUD programs. These
coalitions include: CDBG Coordinators Group; County of San Diego HOME Consortium; Regional
Continuum of Care Council; California Finance Officers' Group; California Association of Housing
Authorities; National Association of Housing Redevelopment Officials; Housing Authorities within the
County of San Diego; participating cities in the First-Time Homebuyer Program; and notably, the city
engages and contributes as a member of the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing
(www.sdfairhousing.org). Also included is the San Diego Housing Federation, made up of affordable
housing organizations and lenders that sponsor programs and activities in partnership with the County
of San Diego and cities in the region.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City of Carlsbad is an active member of the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC)
which is a large cooperative community group consisting of representatives of the 18 cities within the
County of San Diego, nonprofit homeless providers and other interested parties. The RCCC regularly
meets to identify gaps in homeless services, establish funding priorities, and to pursue an overall
systemic approach to addressing homelessness. The RCCC makes recommendations for allocation of
funds available under the Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) program. The representatives seek ways to
improve collaboration and share scarce resources. The consensus approach from service providers is to
emphasize prevention of homelessness first, then transitional housing and support services for
individuals and families, and finally support for chronically homeless individuals. Facilities in proximity to
Carlsbad serving this population include the Brother Benno Foundation providing transitionalhousing

for men in recovery from substance abuse, the Women's Resource Center which provides emergency
safe shelter for victims of domestic violence, Catholic Charities' La Posada de Guadalupe men's shelter
which targets homeless men, Community Resource Center which provides emergency safe shelter for .
victims of domestic violence, and Casa de Amparo which provides targeted support for children and
youth who have been removed from their homes by Child Protective Services.
During 2015, the city actively participated alongside both nonprofit and for profit agencies in the 25
Cities Effort which was a key federal strategy initiative aimed to end veteran homelessness. The city
remains committeed to this effort, now called Open Doors, and has contributed 10 unique Section 8
Rental Assistance vouchers to aid in the effort.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City of Carlsbad does not receive ESG (Emergency Shelter Grant) funds from HUD.
The Regional Continuum of Care Consortium (RCCC) coordinates efforts to address homeless in the San
Diego region and is the HUD designated Continuum of Care (Co() for the region. The RCCC manages the
application for, receipt and distribution of federal and other grant funds, including the Homeless Super
NOFA (Notice of Funding Availability).
The Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH) was selected by the RCCC to manage the region's
homeless management information system (HMIS). This system coordinates the region's AHAR efforts
and is working to combine data from multiple consortium area systems into one data warehouse. The
HMIS produces quarterly and annual reports that assist in monitoring key indicators to assess needs and
progress on strategic goals pertaining to homelessness. In 2010, a Data Advisory Committee was created
to provide community-based oversight, system evaluation, and comprehensive HMIS planning.
Carlsbad does not receive any dedicated homeless assistance funding as a result ofthe Super NOFA or
the RCCC activities. However, annually the city uses a portion of its CDBG Public Service Dollars to assist
agencies that serve the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.

Discussion
The Carlsbad Housing Agency administers the Section 8 Rental Assistance program for Carlsbad residents. For calendar year (CY) 2016, the City
of Carlsbad's allocation was $5,545,117 for rental assistance payments and $588,690 for operating expenses. HUD is currently operating under a
Continuing Resolution until April 28, 2017. Since January 2017, the Carlsbad Housing Agency has received 94 percent of CY 2016 housing
assistance payments funding and 77 percent of administrative allocation. Once the CY 2017 Appropriations Act is approved, HUD will notify the
housing agencies within 60 days what the final funding appropriations will be for CY 2017. The program provides rent subsidy payments for very
low-,income households in privately owned rental housing units. Each month, 600 families are assisted with Section 8 Rental Assistance funds.

Through the city's lnclusionary Housing program, the city intends to develop lower-income affordable housing units throughout Carlsbad,
thereby reducing the impact of housing on any one area. City staff will be responsible for initiating or facilitating the development this housing
through agreements with local for-profit and non-profit housing developers {including agreements to provide city assistance) and
through managing/monitoring the affordability of these housing units in future years. City resources for the provision, construction, or
improvements to public services or facilities to meet the community development needs will also be distributed throughout the city. Carlsbad
will consider the allocation of resources to public service organizations located outside of the city limits in those instances where such
public services provide adequate access to Carlsbad residents.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
While the city has identified a number of priority strategies and implementing programs in the FY 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, given limited
resources, the city may not pursue each program every fiscal year. Priorities for allocation are a result of various community outreach efforts

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j)
Introduction
The City of Carlsbad works to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impacts of efforts to protect public health and safety by
taking actions to reduce the costs or provide financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing.
-Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such
as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and
policies affecting the return on residential investment
The City of Carlsbad works diligently to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impacts of efforts to protect public health and
safety by taking actions to reduce the costs or provide off-setting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable
housing. The following measures may be taken to alleviate the barriers to affordable housing:
• Apply for State and federal funding to provide gap financing for affordable housing production and rehabilitation of existing affordable
housing stock.
• Continue to support applications for Tax Exempt Bond financing from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee.
• Continue to support applications for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee.
• Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments, using available state categorical exemptions and
federal categorical exclusions, when applicable. Also, send staff to CEQA and NEPA trainings as needed to gain expertise in the
preparation of environmental review documents.
• Continue to improve the permit processing and planning approval processes to minimize delay in housing development in general and in
particular affordable housing development.
• Continue providing rehabilitation assistance and homeownership assistance, and to assist in the construction and preservation of
affordable housing.
• Encourage public participation when a proposed project is being considered for approval.
• Implement policies and strategies identified in Carlsbad's 2013-2021 Housing Element.
Housing affordability is affected by numerous factors in both the private and public sectors. With the dissolution of redevelopment in California,

the City of Carlsbad has lost its most powerful tool and funding mechanism to provide affordable housing in the community. Funding at the State
and Federal levels has also continued to experience significant cuts. With reduced funding and increased housing costs, the city faces significant
challenges in providing affordable and decent housing opportunities for its lower and moderate income residents, especially with extremely low
incomes. Actions by the city can have a significant impact on the price and availability of housing in Carlsbad. Lack of affordable housing funds,
land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, fees, and other local programs intended to improve the overall quality of
housing may serve as a constraint to affordable housing development. These governmental constraints can limit the operations of the public,
private, and nonprofit sectors, making it challenging to meet the demand for affordable housing and ever decreasing supply in the region.

Introduction
Priority Needs established in the FY 2015-2019 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which form the basis for
establishing objectives and outcomes in the FY 2017-2018 One-Year Action Plan, are as follows:
High Priority
• Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing Units
• Provide Supportive Services for the Homeless, Lower-Income Residents, and Persons with
Special Needs
• Improve and Provide Facilities to Serve Lower-Income Persons
• Provide Fair Housing Services to Residents
• Planning and Administration
Low Priority
• Conserve and Rehabilitate the Existing Housing Stock
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Limited financial resources are the biggest obstacle to meeting underserved needs in Carlsbad. The city's
policy is to leverage, to the maximum extent feasible, the use of funds available in providing public
services and affordable housing. The city supports the use of CDBG and Housing Trust funds for
development activities and "gap financing" by private and non-profit entities in their efforts to develop
affordable housing.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
In order to foster and maintain affordable housing for lower income households, the city will use CDBG
funds to assist with the development of affordable multi-family housing. The city also fosters
development of affordable housing through implementation of its lnclusionary Housing Ordinance,
which requires that 15 percent of all housing units constructed in city be affordable to lower and
moderate income households. For projects proposing seven units or less, a fee is collected and
deposited into the city's Housing Trust Fund to be used to foster and maintain affordable housing.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Residential lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention of
childhood lead poisoning through housing-based approaches. This strategy requires jurisdictions to

March 13, 2018 Item #6 Page 40 of 152
focus on implementing practical changes in older housing to protect children from lead hazards. The city
has identified two primary strategies to reduce lead-based paint hazards in Carlsbad to be carried out
during the FY 2015-2019 CP period.
Strategy 1: Integrate lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities into all housing programs.
Currently, many federal programs have requirements for evaluating and reducing lead hazards. For
those State and local housing and community development programs, the city will pursue the following
activities to evaluate and reduce lead hazards:
• Require inspection for and abatement of lead-based paint hazards as a requirement of all
residential rehabilitation programs when children under the age of seven reside in the dwelling
unit and have been identified with elevated blood levels;
• Include lead-based paint hazard abatement as an eligible activity for funding under the city's
CDBG program and include minimum lead-based paint abatement requirements to housing
quality standards which must be met; and
• Provide all eligible applicants of housing programs, with information regarding lead-based
paint.
Strategy 2: Support the development of comprehensive health programs for the screening of children
for lead Poisoning and a follow-up on those identified as lead poisoned. In accordance with Center for
Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, all children found to have elevated blood levels (above 20 micrograms
per deciliter) should both be provided with public health management services and be tested every
three months. The County of San Diego's Department of Health Services currently provides this service.
The city encourages the abatement of lead-based paint hazards once a child under the age of seven is
identified as having elevated blood levels. CDBG funds may be used to help the city or other
organizations in developing a comprehensive approach to lead-poisoning prevention.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The city currently has various programs and policies in place to help reduce the number of households
with incomes below the poverty line. These policies and programs aim to improve coordination and
collaboration among city departments; and nonprofit agencies which provide health and social services,
employment training, legal assistance, and other support services for low income persons. The city will
pursue the following programs during FY 2017-18 to reduce poverty in Carlsbad:
1. lnclusionary Housing Ordinance
2. Housing Reserve Fund
3. Affordable Housing Trust Fund
4. Section 8 Vouchers
5. Village Revitalization Partnership Program
6. Economic Development Strategic Plan

March 13, 2018 Item #6 Page 41 of 152
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
There are many organizations within the County of San Diego that provide housing or supportive
services to Carlsbad residents. These agencies tend to be smaller organizations with many using
volunteers. The city will continue to encourage greater efforts to make use of available housing, social
service and mental and other health care resources. The city can also help strengthen the housing and
service delivery system by helping to educate such organizations and agencies regarding the resources
that are available.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The city proposes to strengthen, coordinate and integrate the governmental institutions, non-profit and
private delivery systems discussed in the FY 2015-19 CP and FY 2017-2018 Action Plan through on-going
"strategy and development" meetings between city staff, private developers, non-profit organizations
and various financial institutions. Through these meetings, the city will continue to identify the
constraints to affordable housing and develop/implement programs to mitigate them. The key to
successful development of affordable housing for lower-income households in Carlsbad is
communication, flexibility, and adequate funding. The city will communicate openly with private
developers and service providers as well as make every effort to maintain the flexibility in policies
and/or ordinances necessary to create public/private housing development partnerships.

The City of Carlsbad has a range ofllousing and community development needs. CDBG funds alone are
not adequate to address the various needs identlfied during the public outreach process and
summarized in the Needs Assessment of Carlsbad's Consolidated Plan (CP) FY 2015-2019. Recogni:i:ing
the nat1onal objectM:!s of.these funding programs and specific program regulations, the {:ity intends to
use these funds to coordinate programi;, i;ervices, and projects to create a decent and suitabte living
environment to benefit low-and moderatl!•inoorne households and those with special needs. Needs
which have beeri detennined to be a High Priority leve[ will receiving funding during this AP. Needs with
a Low Pdority may be funded based on the availability of funds. The priorftfes for the Pf 2015-2019 CP
established in consuttat1on with residents and community groups are;
High Priorlty:
• lnc:reasetlle supply ofaffordable housing units
• Provide supportive services for the homelessness, lower-income residents, and persons with
s pecia I needs
• Improve and provfde fadlfties to serve lower income persons
• Provfde fair housing services to resldent!.
• Planntng and administration
Low Priority:
• Conserve and rehabll!tatethe exist1ng housing stoc~
The priorities: identified above specifically address the use ofCDBG funds. The city no longer receives its
specific alJocatfon of HOME funds from the County of Sa11 Diego. The city facllitates the development of
new affordable llousing primarily through its Jncl usronary Housing Program, which ls locally funded, and
iro;' Housing ~.serve Fund. The Carlsbad Housing Agency also administers the Housing Choice Voucher
(HCV) Program fur low income tenants.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evahi.ition of past performance that helped read the gr,nitee to choose Its goals or
projects.
In the past, as a participant of the County's HOME Conso·rtium, the City of carlsbad woulc:I receille a
small aflocation of HOME funds fur the c1ty's affordable housfng activities. However, since Z014, the
sig111frc:ant reductions in HOME: funds necessitated the.County to restructure its HOM!; progr-am to more
efficiently expend the llrnlted funds. The dty no longer receives its specific allocation of HOME funds

AP-75 Action Plan Barrier to Affordable Housing-91.420, 91.2200)
Introduction
The City of Carlsl>ad works to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financlal impacts of efforts
to protect public health and safety by taking actions to reduce the costs or provide financial incentives
to assist in the production ofsafe, high quality, affordable housing.
Acttons it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers
to affordable ho u,;ing .such as land use controls, tai< policles affecting land, zoning ordinances, building
codes, fees and charges, growth Ir m itatio ns, and policies affecting the 'return on residential investment.
The City of earls bad works dltigently to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impacts
of efforts to protect public health and safety by ta kin~ actions to reduce the com or provide off-setting
financial incentives to assist ln the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing. The fellowing
measures may be taken to all~viate the barriers to affordable housing:
• Apply for State and fede rat funding to provide gap financing for affordable housing production
and rehabllitation of existing affordable housing: stock.
• Cantin ue to support applications for Tax Exempt Bond financing from the califurnia Debt Limit
Allocation Comm:1ttee.
Continue to support applications fur Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the CallfornTa Tax
Credit Al locatron Committee.
• Continue to streamline tlie envJronmentaJ review process for housing developments, using
available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable. Also,
send staff to CEQAand NEPA trainings as needed to gain expertise in the preparation of
envtronmental revfew documents.
• Continue to improve the permit proce~$ing and planning approval proce:sse~ to minfmize delay
in housing development in general and in particular affordable housin@: development
• Continue providing rehab ilit.iti on a.ssista nee and ho meowne rshEp assl.>ta nee, and to a.ssist in the
construction and preservation of affordable housing.
• Encourage public participa~ion when a proposed project is befng consldered fur approval.
• lmp(emerit policies and strategies identified in Carlsbad's 2013-2021 Housing Element.
Housing afford.ability is affected by numerous factors in both the prtvate and putlltc sectors. With the
dissolution of redevelopment in California, th!! City of Carlsbad has lost its most powerful tool and
. funding mechanfsm to provide affordable housing iri the comm unity. Funding at the State and Feder.ii
levels has also contlnu ed to eic perie nee ~ignifica nt cuts. With reduced funding and increased ho u.si n,g
costs, the cityface.s significant challenges in providing affordable and decent housing opportunities for
11:s lower and moderate income residents, espe~ially with extremely low incomes. Actions by the city can
have a significant impact on the price and avallability of housing in Carlsbad. Lackohffordable housing
funds, land use controls, site tmprovement requirements, bui!ding codes, fees, and other local programs
intended to improve the· overall quality of housing may serve as a constraint to affordable housing
development. These governmental ccn.il:raints c.in limit the operations of the public, private, and
nonprofit sectors, making it challenging to meet the demand for affordable housing and ever decreasing
supply in the rec Ton.

has identrfied two primary straregles to reduce lead-based paint haurds in Carlsbad to be tarried out
during the FV 2015-2019 CP period •
.Strab'lgy 1: Integrate lead hazard evaluation and reduction activitfes into all housillg programs.
Currently, many federal programs have requirements for evaluatrng and reducing lead hazards. For
those State and local housing and community development programs, the city will pursue the following
,1ctivities to evaluate ancl red.uce lead hazards:
• Require Inspection for and abatement of lead-based paint hazards asa requirement of all
resldentia I rehabilitation programs when chUclren uncler the age of seven reside in the dwelling
unit and have been identifTed with elevated blood levels;
• Include read-based pairrt hazard abatement as an eligible activity for funding under the city's
CDBG program and include minimum lead-based pairrt abatement requirements to housing
qµalfty standards wnich must be met; and
• Provide all eligible applicants of housing programs, with fnformation regarding lead-based
paint.
Strategy 2: Support the development of comprehensive he,1lth programs furthe screening of children
for lead Poisoning and a follow-up on thm;e idl!'ntifled as lead polsoned. In accordance with Center for
Disease Control (CDC) guidellnes, all chrldren found to have elevated blood Jevels (above 20 micrograms
per decllited should both be provided with public health management services and be tested everv.
three months. The County of San Diego's Department of Health Services currently provides this service.
The city encourages the abatement of lead-based paint hazards once a child under the age of seven is
identified as having elevated blood levels. CDBG funds may be used to hefp the city or other
organizations in developlng a comprehensive approach to lead-poisoning prevention.
Actions planned to reduce the 11umber of poverty-level famllles
The city currently has various programs and policfes in place ta h!=IP reduce the number of household:;;
with incomes below the r,overty Jlne. These policies and programs aim ta lmprove coordination and
coflab~ratlon among city departments; and nonprofit agencies which provide health and social services,
employment trainlng, legal assistance, ,md other support services for low income persons. The i:ftywifl

Actions planned to develop Institutional structure
There are many organizations within the County of San Diego that provide housing or supportfve
services tD Carlsbad residents. These agencies tend to be smafler organizaticms with many using
volunteers. The city will continue to enroLirage greater efforts to make use of avarlable housing, social
service and mental and other health care resources. The city c.in also help strengthen the housing and

private delivery systems discussed in the FY 2015-19 CP and FY 2017-2018 Action Plan through on-going
".strate!!V and devefopment'' meetings between city staff, private developers, non-profit organizations
and various financial institutions. Through these meetings, the city wlll continue to identify the
constraints to affordable housing and develop/Implement programs to mitigate them. The key to
successful development of affordable housing for lower-income households in Carlsbad is
communication, flelCibillty, and adequate funding. The city will communlcate openly with pri11ate
devefopers and service providers as well as make every effort to maintain 1he flexibility fn policies
and/or ordinances necessary to create public/private housing development partnerships.
