Subject: Introduction to Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Recommended Action
Receive an overview of the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element Update.
Executive Summary
In December 2019, the City Council appointed four city commission representatives and five
residents to the Housing Element Advisory Committee. The purpose of the HEAC is to guide
preparation of the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element Update. Throughout 2020, the HEAC has
regularly met to discuss and review various aspects of the draft plan, including the
requirements of state law and development of a strategy to address the city’s housing needs
over the next eight years, including the need to accommodate projected residential growth.
As required under the City’s Municipal Code, Section 2.40.060, the Housing Commission is
charged with advising and making recommendations to the City Council on the adoption of, or
amendment to, the General Plan Housing Element, and related strategies and programs. These
strategies and programs identify how the city will address its housing needs, whether in terms
of addressing homelessness or providing adequate, affordable housing.
The Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element Update would replace, or amend, the current General
Plan Housing Element. This special joint meeting has been scheduled to enable both the
Housing Commission and HEAC to concurrently receive an introduction to the draft plan. This is
appropriate given the mutual interests of both groups and the strict schedule by which the plan
must be processed. Following the introduction, the commission and committee will have the
opportunity to begin discussing and providing feedback to city staff and consultants; these
opportunities will continue into subsequent meetings, as discussed in the following agenda
item.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for viewing

General Plan
Housing Plan Overview
This section of the Housing Element introduces and describes the citys
Housing Plan. The Housing Plan consists of the city's long term housing
goals and the shorter term policies and programs to achieve these goals.
This section serves as a guide to these goals, policies, and programs,
which are contained in accompanying Section 10.7. Together,
Sections 10.6 and 10.7 comprise a broad based Housing Plan for the
creation of housing opportunities throughout the city. Through this
Housing Plan, the city demonstrates its understanding of housing needs,
as well as its commitment of city resources to accommodate those needs.
Fiscal Considerations
While the city affirms its commitment towards meeting the communitys
housing needs, it is nevertheless incumbent on the city to acknowledge
that the Housing Plan is but one of a large number of programs competing
for the finite fiscal resources of the city. As such, it is not possible to
subject this Housing Plan to strict budgetary scrutiny. In addition, there
may be legal requirements affecting future encumbrances of funds, as
well as demands in other areas requiring the city to make difficult
decisions on budgetary priorities.
Defining Goals, Policies, and Programs
The Goals, Policies, and Programs section (Section 10.7) of the Housing
Plan establishes a policy framework to guide city decision making to meet
identified goals. The housing programs outlined later represent actions
the city will undertake to promote housing opportunities for all segments
of the community.
Goal
The housing goals are articulated as general end condition statements,
which describe a desired outcome or end state. The goals do not contain
an action verb as they reflect a final statement of what the city hopes to
achieve. Goals describe ideal future conditions for a topic and tend to be
general and broad in nature. How the goal will be achieved is established
via the applicable policies and programs.
Policies
Policies are statements on the position the city takes to implement a goal.
Policies contained in the Housing Element are important statements as
they provide a clear and unambiguous statement that guides a specific
course of action for decision makers to achieve a desired goal. Future
actions and development must be consistent with these policies.
Carlsbad
Programs
While many policies can be implemented as part of standard city
operations, some policies require specific programs to assure their
implementation. Housing programs define the specific actions the city
will undertake to achieve the stated goals and policies. These
implementation programs are included in Section 10.7.
Designing Housing Programs
The housing goals and policies address Carlsbads identified housing
needs and are implemented through a series of housing programs offered
by the city. For each program, a table is provided that identifies the
following details about how the program will be achieved:
Funding
This box indicates the sources of funds to be used for each program.

for the program. When more than one agency is listed it is to be a
joint or cooperative effort. The City Council functions as the Housing
Authority in carrying out various housing programs.Timeframe (Years/Months)

Rezone Industrial (RZI). The city contains several vacant light
industrial sites and an office site that can be redesignated to a
multi family residential at densities that will support lower income
housing. These sites are typically used for business park,
warehousing, and light industrial uses. The City evaluated vacant
sites to determine which would be compatible with residential
uses.
RezoneCommercial(RZC). Thecityincludesacommercialsite that
can be used for residential development if redesignated.
Upzone Residential (UPR). A subset of the vacant residential sites
included someR 4and R 15sitesthatcouldbe upzonedtoa higher
designation that would support multi family housing and
production of units for lower and moderate income households.
Proposed Projects with Rezone (PR2). The city identified two
projects in the planning stages that are planning to include
proposals to change existing General Plan/zoning designations to
either allow multi family housing on presently designated
industrial land or to develop commercial land in a mixed use
residential/commercial format that would support multi family
housing. Using the citys inclusionary housing program, each site
will produce units for lower income households.
Enhanced Residential Designations. For some City/Agency sites
and Redesignate Industrial/Office sites, as noted earlier, the city is
proposing to add new land use designations to both the General
Plan and zoning to allow higher density residential in appropriate
locations in the community. This changewill add newdesignations
for R 35 and R 40. For the siting assessment performed, the
minimum density for each designation was applied.

City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
This appendix provides an overview of the 15 key sites proposed by the City of Carlsbad for the production of housing.
On sites 1 13, the city is proposing a change in General Plan and Zoning designations to increase the density allowed
on each site. Site 14 is owned by the North County Transit District and Site 15 is the citys Public Works which is planned
for relocation. These properties are already designated for multi family residential and are considered key sites as the
agency/city ownership creates opportunities to partner with a developer to provide lower income units.

APPENDIX B
Key Site Fact Sheets
City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
POTENTIAL HOUSING SITES
Site Number: 1 – North County Plaza
City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update - OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is a nearly 20-acre shopping center (North County Plaza) developed
with stores, restaurants and other businesses. It is located along Marron
Road (a four-lane employment/transit connector street) and west of The
Shoppes at Carlsbad. The northernmost portion of the site encompasses a
stretch of Buena Vista Creek.
SITE FEATURES
SITE OPPORTUNITY
North County Plaza is conveniently located to major transportation corridors and transit. It provides goods and services
and is close to other shopping areas. It is proximate as well to open space in the form of Hosp Grove, Buena Vista
Lagoon, and Buena Vista Creek. Environmental buffers and the flood zone along the creek impact or potentially impact
the shopping center’s developable area. A portion of the shopping center along Marron Road is also in a flood zone.
In 2018, the city received an application to redevelop a portion of North County Plaza into a mixed-use project.
Proposed is the demolishing of 46,000 square feet of commercial space and construction of 240 apartment units and
6,800 square feet of new retail uses. The application is currently under review.
Under consideration are changes to the shopping center’s current land use designations. The current land use
designation of R/OS, Regional Commercial/Open Space (applied to the area of Buena Vista Creek), would be changed to
R/R-40/OS. While the current R designation permits a limited number of homes above the first floor of a commercial
development, the proposed “split” designation would continue to recognize North County Plaza as a regional
commercial center and would permit a greater number of residential units without the constraint of having to locate the
units above a commercial first floor. The Open Space designation would not be affected by the proposed change.
The R-40 designation would permit densities from 37.5 to 40 dwelling units per acre. Characteristic of this density are
four and five story apartment buildings. At the minimum density of 37.5 du/ac, potentially 300 units could be built on
the property. This yield is based on assuming half the property acreage would develop residentially while the other half
would continue to be used or would develop commercially. The area designated open space is excluded from these
acreage calculations.
Changing the properties’ designations to R/R-40/OS would require amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance,
and Local Coastal Program and would also require City Council and California Coastal Commission approval.

Site Number: 2 – The Shoppes at Carlsbad parking lot
City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update - OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is an underutilized property located off Marron
Road (a four-lane employment/transit connector street)
west of El Camino Real. The site contains the parking lots for
The Shoppes at Carlsbad mall and a North County Transit
District transit station. Two of the six parcels are on the
other side of Marron Road from the mall. Together, the
parking lot parcels total nearly 57 acres. All parcels are city
owned.
SITE FEATURES
SITE OPPORTUNITY
The very northwest corner of the site, less than an acre and beyond the parking lot and ring road, is constrained by
Buena Vista Creek and its associated riparian habitat and floodplain area. Other than this small section, the property
overall has no known physical constraints to development due to environmentally sensitive areas. The existing transit
station is expected to remain. The northernmost portion of the parking lot along Buena Vista Creek is in the City of
Oceanside. As it is outside Carlsbad, this portion of the parking lot is not part of the site acreage reported here.
After serving the mall’s parking needs, the parking lot could accommodate other uses, including homes. While
residential uses are currently permitted by the Westfield Carlsbad Specific Plan (the approved planning document that
regulates development at The Shoppes and surrounding parking lot), the site has no formal residential land use
designation. Early concepts by The Shoppes owner, Brookfield Properties, support redevelopment of the parking lot
with homes and other uses.
Under consideration are changes to the land use designations applied to the entire mall and parking lot. The current
land use designation of R, Regional commercial, would be changed to a “split designation” of R/R-40; this would include
an OS designation as appropriate to recognize the creek. While the current R designation permits a limited number of
homes above the first floor of a commercial development, the proposed “split” designation would continue to recognize
The Shoppes as a regional commercial center and at the same time would permit a greater number of residential units
without the constraint of having to locate the units above a commercial first floor.
The R-40 designation would permit densities from 37.5 to 40 dwelling units per acre. Characteristic of this density are
four and five story apartment buildings. At the minimum density of 37.5 du/ac, approximately 1,050 units could be built
on the parking lot property. This yield is based on assuming half the property acreage would develop residentially while
the other half would continue to be used or would redevelop commercially. The small creek area designated open space
is excluded from these acreage calculations; the area so designated would not change.
Changing the properties’ designations to R/R-40 would require amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and
Westfield Carlsbad Specific Plan and City Council approval.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is a group of four vacant properties at the southwest corner of El
Camino Real and Chestnut Avenue. Several eucalyptus trees cover the
approximately 2.7-acre site. Sensitive habitat and steep slopes may pose
development constraints. The site is close to schools and convenient to
major transportation routes such as El Camino Real and Interstate 5.
Nearby is detached and attached housing.
Under their current General Plan land use designation, the properties could
potentially develop with approximately eight homes.
SITE FEATURES
Vacant Slopes with sensitive
biological resources
Close to schools
and
transportation
Potential cultural
resources
Near single-
family homes and
condominiums
SITE OPPORTUNITY
Under consideration are changes to each properties’ R-4 land use designation, a residential land use designation typical
of a single-family home development, to R-15. The R-15 designation often applies to small lot single family or detached
or attached condominium development.
As proposed, the R-15 designation would have a permitted density range of 11.5 to 15 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).
This compares to an existing density range of 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre. At the proposed minimum density of 11. 5
du/ac, development of the approximately 2.7-acre site could yield about 30 homes, though more site analysis would be
needed to determine if constraints such as slopes could reduce the yield.
To change the properties’ designations to R-15, amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance would be
necessary and would require City Council approval.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is a group of three separate and underutilized
properties located off El Camino Real (a six-lane arterial
street) and College Boulevard, which terminates along the
site. While mostly vacant, the three properties contain a
couple of single-family homes, some outbuildings, an
equestrian facility, and an RV storage lot. Together, the
properties total nearly 40 acres.

SITE OPPORTUNITY
This cluster of properties is centrally located and close to jobs. The largest parcel, at the corner of El Camino Real and
College Boulevard, is 17 acres and designated for shopping center and residential development. The mostly vacant
parcel to the north and along El Camino Real is designated for low density residential. The third parcel featuring
equestrian facility borders Agua Hedionda Creek and is just beyond the end of College Boulevard. This property is
designated for low density residential and open space. The city recently approved part of this property as a biological
mitigation site for the future extension of College Boulevard. A portion of the site remains available for residential uses
as well.
The equestrian parcel is entirely within a flood zone; this flood zone also encroaches on portions of the two other
parcels. As it is just beyond the end of College Boulevard, road improvements may be required to reach the equestrian
parcel.
Under consideration is a change of each property’s land use designation to R-30, a high density residential designation
that would permit up to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). This would result in a loss of land (approximately 8.9 acres)
designated for local shopping center development. Typical development in the R-30 designation would be apartments
and condominiums up to two or three stories. As proposed, the R-30 would have a density range of 26.5 to 30 dwelling
units per acre (du/ac). At the minimum density of 26.5 du/ac, approximately 650 residences could be built on the nearly
40-acre site. Note that before development could occur, flood zone issues would need to be addressed.

Site Number: 5 – Avenida Encinas car storage lot
City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update - OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
SITE DESCRIPTION
This two-acre industrial parcel, at the southwest corner of Avenida Encinas
and Cannon Road, is developed with a car storage lot. The lot is screened by
a landscaped berm. It is directly across Avenida Encinas from the Carlsbad
Suites hotel and borders the railroad tracks.
SITE FEATURES
Developed with car
storage and landscaping
Close to the beach
Close to jobs

Freeway and railroad noise
constraints
SITE OPPORTUNITY
The parcel is considered underutilized as it could develop more intensely with industrial or offices buildings, similar to
other similarly-designated properties to the south along Avenida Encinas and in business parks along Palomar Airport
Road. Due to its proximity to the freeway and the railroad, the site is impacted by transit noise. Noise impacts may
constrain or preclude residential development over most of the site. Airport noise is not a constraint.
Under consideration is a change to the property’s land use designation from PI, Industrial, to R-30. R-30 is a high density
residential designation. Typical development in the R-30 designation would be apartments and condominiums up to two
or three stories.
As proposed, the R-30 would have a density range of 26.5 to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). At the minimum density
of 26.5 du/ac, approximately 58 residences could be built on the site. However, the General Plan Noise Element does
not permit residential construction where noise is a significant constraint if alternative sites are available.
To change the property’s designation to R-30, amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Local Coastal
Program would be necessary and would require City Council and California Coastal Commission approval. As part of a
city approval, findings regarding the acceptability of the site for residential uses in light of transit noise may be necessary
along with detailed studies to determine how noise impacts could be sufficiently reduced.

Site Number: 6 – Crossings Golf Course Lot 5
City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update - OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is a vacant property located off College Boulevard (a
four-lane arterial road) midway between Faraday Avenue
and Palomar Airport Road. It overlooks the golf course and is
on the west side of the street. The site was graded as part of
the Crossings at Carlsbad Golf Course development in the
early 2000s. The developable part of the site drops steeply
to the golf course and open space. The property is city-
owned.
SITE FEATURES
SITE OPPORTUNITY
There are no known physical constraints to development due to environmentally sensitive areas and the parcel is
located outside the McClellan-Palomar Airport flight path. It is not significantly impacted by airport noise. Because the
parcel is city owned, development with a higher percentage of affordable housing may be possible.
Under consideration is a change of the property’s land use designation from PI/O, Planned Industrial/Office, to R-30, a
high-density residential designation typical of two to three story apartment projects. if the R-30 designation were
applied to the property, it would have a minimum density of 26.5 dwelling units per acre and a maximum density of 30
dwelling units per acre (du/ac). At the minimum density, approximately 180 units could be developed on the graded, flat
portion of the site.
To change the property’s designation to R-30, amendments to the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and zoning
designations would be necessary; these amendments would require City Council and California Coastal Commission
approval. In addition, and consistent with Lot 5’s existing land use designation, the city’s adopted Real Estate Strategic
Plan calls would need modification to allow residential on the property as it calls for the property’s long-term lease for
hotel or office purposes.
(Note: The vacant and already graded parcel directly across College Boulevard from this site is also city-owned but is not
suitable for housing due to airport restrictions.)

Camino Real. It also adjacent to the large Carlsbad Research Center
business park.
Manufactured slopes along Salk Avenue and the property’s perimeter
reduce its developable acreage, but otherwise there are no known physical
constraints to development. The property is located with McClellan-
Palomar Airport Safety Zone 6, which permits residential development.
SITE FEATURES
Vacant Designated for office use
Graded No site constraints
Centrally located Close to jobs
SITE OPPORTUNITY
Under consideration is a change to the property’s land use designation from O, Office, to R-30. R-30 is a high density
residential designation. Typical development in the R-30 designation would be apartments and condominiums up to two
or three stories.
As proposed, the R-30 would have a density range of 26.5 to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). At the minimum density
of 26.5 du/ac and accounting for slopes, approximately 230 residences could be built on the nearly 10-acre site.
To change the property’s designation to R-30, amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Fenton Carlsbad
Center Specific Plan would be necessary and would require City Council approval. If redesignated, office uses would
cease to be permitted on the property, but office, industrial, and open spaces uses would continue to be permitted on
surrounding lots.

SITE OPPORTUNITY
Under consideration is a change of the property’s land use designation from R-4, a residential land use designation
typical of a single-family home development, to R-23, or a designation typical of condominiums and apartments.
As proposed, the R-23 designation applied to the property would have a permitted density range of 19 to 23 dwelling
units per acre (du/ac). For the property to reach full development potential, the existing duplex apartments on-site
would be demolished. At the minimum density and with demolition of existing units, new construction could result in
approximately 150 new units or about 130 units more than on the site currently. Steep slopes would likely be protected
as open space.
To change the property’s designation to R-23 and Open Space, changes to the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and
Zoning Ordinance would be necessary and would require City Council and California Coastal Commission approval.

SITE OPPORTUNITY
Unlike other sites under consideration, the West Oaks project is a privately-initiated proposal, meaning a private party
(The Carlsbad West Oaks Project Owner, LLC), not the city, is processing the necessary applications to change land use
designations and develop the property. Proposed are 192 apartments, 42 of which would be affordable to lower income
households. The proposal would change each property’s land use designation from PI, Planned Industrial, to R-30, an
existing high-density residential land use designation. The proposed density is 24.6 dwelling units per acre. The site’s
open space designation would be reconfigured to accommodate a bridge and preserve on-site habitat and buffers not
currently designated as open space.
To change the properties’ designations from industrial to residential, amendments to the General Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, and Local Coastal Program would be necessary and would require City Council and California Coastal
Commission approval.

Site Number: 14 – Carlsbad Village Train Station Parking Lot
City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update - OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site consists of most of the parking lot serving the Carlsbad Village Train
Station and vacant, graded land to the north. The property stretches south
about a quarter mile from the Carlsbad Boulevard bridge to a point a
couple hundred feet north of the station and extends from the west
boundary of the railroad corridor to the frontage road (State Street Alley)
behind businesses fronting State Street. The approximately 7.7-acre site is
owned by North County Transit District (NCTD).
SITE FEATURES
SITE OPPORTUNITY
The underutilized nature of the site (surface parking and vacant land) presents a unique redevelopment opportunity in
the heart of Carlsbad’s downtown. The Village and Barrio Master Plan envisions the property as a transit-oriented
development with the potential for increased east-west connections across the railroad tracks and opportunities for
non-transit public parking. Further, NCTD has indicated an interest in developing the site with a mix of residential,
business, and transit related uses.
The property is in the master plan’s VC, Village Center, District. This district permits the mix of uses described and allows
a residential density range of 28 to 35 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). For mixed-use projects in the Village and Barrio,
minimum density is calculated on 50 percent of the site area (which recognizes development of both residential and
non-residential uses) and the maximum density is calculated on the entire developable area of the site. For this NCTD
property yields have been estimated at the minimum (28 du/ac) and maximum of the density range (35 du/ac), and near
the midpoint of the range (32.5 du/ac). At these densities, and anticipating mixed-use development, estimated yields
are:
At 28 du/ac: Approximately 108 units (50% of site area) to 216 units (100% of site area)
At 32.5 du/ac: Approximately 125 units (50% of site area) to 250 units (100% of site area)
At 35 du/ac: Approximately 135 units (50% of site area) to 270 units (100% of site area)
At any of the yields, units likely would be in the form of apartments or condominiums in three- or four-story
configurations and combined with parking, businesses and transit functions and related services.
Site development would require approval by the North County Transit District and by the City Council.

Site Number: 15 – City’s Oak Yard
City of Carlsbad: Housing Element Update - OUR HOME OUR FUTURE
SITE DESCRIPTION
This 1.3-acre city-owned site presently serves as a public works
maintenance and operations yard. It is located at the terminus of Oak
Avenue where it terminates near the railroad corridor. Across Oak Avenue
from the yard is the south end of State Street. Approximately three blocks
north is the Carlsbad Village Train Station.
SITE FEATURES
SITE OPPORTUNITY
The city is currently working on a plan to develop a new maintenance and operation center that would include enough
maintenance yard space to serve city needs. The plan would locate the new facility at the larger Safety Center campus
on Orion Way. It is anticipated that all personnel and equipment currently stationed at the Oak Yard site would be
relocated to the new maintenance and operations center. At that time, the Oak Yard property would no longer be
needed for its current purpose.
With the Oak Yard no longer necessary, the site could redevelop residentially. Located in the Pine-Tyler District of the
Village and Barrio Master Plan, the 1.3-acre property has a residential density range of 18 to 23 dwelling units per acre
(du/ac). The PT District does not have a mixed-use requirement as parts of other master plan districts do. Therefore, an
all-residential project could be built. At the minimum and maximum densities permitted, the property could yield
approximately 23 to 30 units. At the density range midpoint (20.5 du/ac), the site would yield about 27 units.
Site development would require City Council approval.
