that the document would be made available in the
Planning Department and the City Library as a handout.
Commissioner Mead arrived at 6:42 p.m.
3) Distribution List for the Guide and
Information/Resource List
Susan Stark, ICRI, explained that due to observance of
the Dewey Decimal System in the City Library, the
Library Director has informed ICRI that it would be
difficult to create a special section for child care
materials. However, a Guide to the Development of
Child Care Centers in Carlsbad as well as a
bibliography of other books relating to child care will
be maintained at the Reference Desk and in the file
cabinet which contains loose printed material of a
topical nature.
Commissioner Gilk recommended that ICRI investigate the
possibility of securing a video which describes the
steps of starting a child care center or family day
care home. Ms. Stark replied that she is aware of
three videos regarding child care and she will follow
through on the suggestion.
Chairman Baker suggested that it might be appropriate
to also place a 3-ring binder in the City Library which
includes other necessary information for new providers,
i.e. how to obtain a tax I.D. number, registration of a
fictional name, fingerprint trust line, etc.
4) Update on Mentor Resource Service and Request for
Information (RFI)
Susan Stark, ICRI, reported that the RFI had been
finalized and was ready to mail.
5) Child Care Fund Subcommittee Progress Report
Chairman Baker gave a progress report on the Child Care
Fund. The purpose of the Fund will be to improve the
quality and quantity of child care in Carlsbad. It
would be created as a non-profit organization with a
Board of Directors which would work with the Child Care
Commission.
The subcommittee is considering that the Fund be
administered by the City to assist potential providers
in setting up child care centers, provide scholarships,
and evaluate the quality of child care being provided
throughout the City.
ICRI will do more research on the alternatives
available for the Fund and will report at the next
meeting.
Jim Hagaman, Research Manager, stated that once the
Child Care Commission determines what they want, an
agenda bill will be prepared for City Council action.
Susan Stark, ICRI, stated that she already has the
necessary materials to file for non-profit status.

child care legislation. She recommended that the
Commission support SB 227 which is currently awaiting
the Governor's signature. It must be signed no later
than October 13, 1991 or it will be dead.
Jim Hagaman, Research Manager, will research the City's
platform to see if the Commission may send a letter of
support to the Governor regarding SB 227. He will also
bring a copy of the legislative platform to the next
meeting.

CONSIDERATION OF GUIDE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILD CARE CENTERS IN
CARLSBAD
Attached is a complete copy of the guide, including:
4 flow chart;
• three scenarios;
• glossary;

• addendum (with suggestions made at last meeting).
Once reviewed and approved by the Commission, the guide is ready for printing and distribution.
GUIDE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILD CARE CENTERS
Prepared by International Child Resource Institute
Berkeley, California
September, 1991
GUIDE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILD CARE CENTERS
On the following pages is a guide to assist you with understanding factors involved in developing
a child care center. The Flow Chart is designed to clarify all steps in the planning and
implementation process of a child care center. There are three sample scenarios illustrating the
City Planning Fees one may incur while developing a child care center. In order to help you
compare one scenario to the others, the size of the center and the number of children remain
constant. The Fee Table outlines the potential City Fees one may incur during the development
of a child care facility. There are three categories of fees: Processing, Engineering, and
Building. Depending on the particular circumstances, a few or many of these fees may apply.
Complementing the Fee Table is an Addendum providing more extensive information on
Engineering Fees and reference information for Building Fees. The City Planning Department
is available to answer specific questions you have regarding these fees. They will be better able
to assist you if you provide them with specific details, including location and size, of your
proposed child care center. You may reach them at (619) 438-1161.
The Guide includes the following:

SCENARIO 2
DEVELOPING A CHILD CARE CENTER ON BUILDING-READY LAND
You have found a site on which you would like to develop a child care center. It is located in a shopping district
in a Master Plan Area in the Southeast quadrant. You have a 1/2 acre lot, and the building itself will be
approximately 4,500 square feet of that lot. You plan to develop a non-profit center for 80 children. ICRI estimates
the building will cost approximately $622,800 broken down into interior, $450,000, at $100 per square foot, and
exterior, $172,800, at $10 per square foot. You may also have $10,000 in landscaping fees. The following are the
City Fees for this scenario.

Total BuHding Fees $31,190
TOTAL FEES $34,340
(With Regular CUP) $36,330
SCENARIO 3
DEVELOPING A CHILD CARE CENTER ON BARE LAND
You have found a 1/2 acre of bare land in the Southwest Quadrant on which you want to build a center. It is in
a Specific Plan Area and is a designated commercial zone. Since the land is bare, you will have to contract and
pay for all necessary land improvements. ICRI estimates that the cost of these improvements (e.g. drains and
gutters) will cost approximately $83,750. The corresponding Engineering Fees are listed below. You want to build
a 4,500 square foot center for approximately 80 children. We estimate the cost of constructing the building itself
will be approximately $622,800 broken down into interior, $450,000, at $100 per square foot, and exterior,
$172,000, at $10 per square foot. ICRI also estimates that you may need up to 200 cubic yards of grading done.

GLOSSARY
The following glossary of terms will help to clarify the fee analysis:
1. ADT: The number of average daily trips (ADT) assessed by San Diego Association of
Government (SANDAG) that this building will generate in the City.
2. Discretionary Project Review: An applicant submits a site plan and required supplemental
materials to the City. An approving body such as the City Engineer, Planning Director,
or Planning Commission reviews the project. Project approval or denial is based on the
approving body's discretion based upon their interpretation of codes, policies and
standards of the City.
3. EDU: Equivalent dwelling unit; a dwelling unit contains living facilities for no more than
one family. One family equals 2.67 people.
4. General Plan: A comprehensive long range policy document which establishes the
physical, social, and economic goals of the community and serves as a guide for the
future development of the City.
5. Land Use Approvals: Approval of the concept of a building plan by the City based on
the plans and applications submitted.
6. Master Plan: A plan which establishes the development regulations for large planned
communities in the City, specifically over 100 acres and held under one ownership or
control.
7. Planning Commission: A commission appointed by the City Council. The Planning
Commission advises the Council on matters related to the General Plan, zoning and land
development; in some cases the Commission is empowered to act for the Council.
8. Preliminary Review: Staff from the Planning and Engineering Departments perform
reviews of projects and proposals to provide some direction to the proposal, its overall
feasibility on a conceptual basis, and identify some of the major issues.
9. Redevelopment Area: The older part of town known as "The Village" or "Downtown,"
which is being guided by development standards, design standards, and use allocation that
are specified in the Village Design Manual.
10. Sewer Benefit Area: These areas are designed to create revenues to construct adequate
sewer facilities for the growth of the City.
11. Site Development Plan Area: Plan showing all existing and proposed building and
structures, grading and drainage, and streets and utilities.
12. Sewer Lateral: The sewer line connecting an individual property line to the main sewer
line; this is usually needed for development on vacant lots.
13. Specific Plan: Similar to a master plan. It contains the locations and standards for land
use and development regulations, streets, and other public facilities in detail.
14. State Regulated Value: This refers to the value the state places on a building based on
the location and size of property.
15. Tentative Parcel Map: A proposal requiring the preparation of a map to subdivide one
larger piece of land into five or more lots or units. A final map which conforms to the
tentative map completes the subdivision process. For example, if you want to develop
one acre of a five acre parcel, a fee for a tentative map subdivision may apply.
16. Zone Change: A formal request to change the City's zoning map designation for a
specific area. A proposed zone change is reviewed and acted upon by the Planning
Commission and the City Council.
Note: Several of these definitions, or parts of them, are cited in "A Citizen's Guide To City
Planning" available through the Planning Department, located at 2075 Las Palmas Drive,
Carlsbad, (619)438-1161.

UPDATE ON MENTOR RESOURCE SERVICE AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)
Mentor Resource Service: ICRI has created a Mentor Resource Service to ease the process of
both opening new centers and expanding currently established centers by connecting providers
in the expansion or development process with a provider who has had recent success in the
same process. ICRI has written a letter to send to providers who have recently expanded or built
a child care center in Carlsbad asking them to assist other providers (in other words, be mentors)
who are going through this process. ICRI hopes that over the next several years, this service will
continue to grow.
Request for Information: The RFI was written to promote the expansion of child care in areas of
critical need. This will be sent to licensed providers in Southern California (San Diego and
Orange Counties).
The Research Office has approved both of these documents. ICRI is now investigating and
developing mailing lists for them. They will both be mailed out in October.
Dear , August 8, 1991
In order to address local child care concerns, the City of Carlsbad has contracted International
Child Resource Institute, ICRI, to implement several recommendations adopted by the City
Council to improve child care for providers, parents, and children. The insight and experience
you have gained through your development (or expansion) of a child care facility is indispensable
to potential providers of child care. Therefore, we are writing to elicit your help in establishing
a Child Care Mentor Resource Service (MRS) in Carlsbad.
The purpose of the MRS is to ease the process of both opening new child care centers and
expanding currently established centers. Given your recent success in establishing (or expanding)
your child care center, we hope you will consider being placed the Mentor List. By consenting,
you are simply making yourself available for questions and advice to potential providers. This
list would be updated yearly to provide the most current information, and it would be available
at the City Planning Office located at 2075 Las Palmas Drive.
Additionally, a coordinator is needed for this program. The MRS Coordinator would be
responsible for updating the Mentor List on a yearly basis, and providing the City Planning
Department with an updated list. The MRS Coordinator would also make him/herself available
to answer questions, describe how the Mentor Resource Service works, and act as a liaison
between Mentors and new providers. We expect this position to take a few hours once a year
(to update the Mentor List), in addition to occasional phone calls.
Please take a few moments to fill out the enclosed questionnaire—including if you are interested
in receiving more information about the coordinator position—and return it in the self addressed,
stamped envelope to International Child Resource Institute, 1810 Hopkins Street, Berkeley, CA
94707.
We are open to any suggestions you wish to share with us, and we thank you for your support
and dedication to Carlsbad child care. Please feel free to call ICRI at (415) 644-1000; you may
call collect.
Sincerely,
Ken Jaffe Susan Stark
Executive Director Consultant

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
CITY OF CARLSBAD
The need for available, affordable, quality child care is a growing concern for working parents.
As the City of Carlsbad expands so does the need for additional child care. As part of the City
of Carlsbad's active involvement in meeting child care needs, the City is interested in knowing
which child care providers might consider the development of quality child care in Carlsbad.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Request For Information is to learn from potential Southern California child
care providers who may be interested in offering child care within the City of Carlsbad.
BACKGROUND:
In 1990, the City of Carlsbad contracted International Child Resource Institute (ICRI) of
Berkeley, California to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current and future status of
child care in Carlsbad, and make recommendations for the development of affordable, accessible,
quality child care. As a result of this study, ICRI proposed several recommendations to assure
the development of comprehensive child care programs. These recommendations were presented
to and adopted by the Carlsbad Child Care Commission who forwarded their recommendations
to the City Council. The City Council adopted eight recommendations on April 2, 1991.
ICRI's study concluded that the current supply of child care does not meet the demand. The
supply of infant and toddler care is unusually low for a city this size. The current child care
supply is concentrated in one of the four City Quadrants (Northwest). San Diego Association
of Governments (SANDAG) estimates that by City build-out (year 2010), the growth
of the population between birth and 13 years will increase in each quadrant as follows:
Northwest (59%), Northeast (118%), Southwest (314%), and Southeast (151%). Therefore, a
considerable increase in the supply of child care is necessary in order to meet the projected
demand.
POPULATION TO BE SERVED:
A. QUADRANTS NEEDING CHILD CARE IN CARLSBAD: The need for child care is
primarily in the Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast Quadrants. Additionally, there is
a need for subsidized care in the Northwest Quadrant, (see map)
1. The Northwest Quadrant needs subsidized child care and Spanish bilingual care.
2. The Northeast Quadrant is in need of 300 additional spaces by build-out, including
40% for infants/toddlers.
3. The Southwest Quadrant requires 550 spaces by build-out. Since only 36 spaces
are currently available, the Southwest Quadrant requires the largest increase of
care. Providers should consider the development of child care contiguous to the
part of the industrial zone extending into the Southwest Quadrant.
4. The Southeast Quadrant also needs additional child care, specifically 300 spaces
by build-out. Providers should consider development in shopping zones which are
accessible to a large portion of the City. An extra effort should be made to
develop an adequate supply of infant and school-age care in this quadrant.
B. TYPE OF CHILD CARE NEEDED: Although Carlsbad needs additional child care for
all children, critical child care areas exist. In order to address the current and future
demand for child care, providers should consider developing child care for the following:
1) Hispanic community (bilingual and subsidized), 2) mildly ill children, 3) infants, 4)
year round school age care (including summers and holidays), and 5) care which more
closely fits work schedules (opening before 7:30 am and closing after 5:30 pm).
SPECIAL FACTORS INFLUENCING DEVELOPMENT OF CHILD CARE IN CARLSBAD:
To encourage the development of child care in Carlsbad, the City is available to help providers
in the process of establishing care.
A. In the Fall, the following will be available through the Planning Department and the
Carlsbad Library's Child Care Resource section:
1. A Flow Chart providing a clear and concise outline of the process of developing
child care in Carlsbad.
2. A Fee Table summarizing the City fees one may incur in the establishment of
child care.
3. Resource information for providers.
B. In the near future, the City of Carlsbad Child Care Commission will consider the
following unique incentives aimed at easing the financial costs and simplifying the process
of developing child care:
1. Child Care developed in specific areas designated as Child Care Need Areas may
be eligible for reduced Planning, Engineering, and Building fees.
2. In Master and Specific Plans, the City is now encouraging and in the future may
require the need for child care to be addressed.
3. Certain zoning regulations are being reviewed for modification in order to
encourage the growth of child care in the City of Carlsbad.
