An ordinance approving an amendment to Title 5 Business Licenses and Regulations of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (MCA2022-0004) 2. An ordinance approving amendments to Title 15 Grading and Drainage Ordinance and Title 21 Zoning Ordinance of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (MCA2022-0004/ZCA2022- 0002) and Local Coastal Program (LCPA 2022-0014). Executive Summary The Carlsbad Municipal Code provides all the regulatory, penal and administrative ordinances of the City of Carlsbad. It is important to amend the code regularly to keep it consistent with new state regulations and to address new issues and unforeseen challenges not anticipated as part of the original code adoption. The city also recognizes the importance of code revisions that remove unnecessary barriers to simplify and streamline permitting processes. Through regular updates, the municipal code will be more responsive to address the city’s changing land use issues. Staff are proposing to make two changes to the city’s Zoning Ordinance to codify interpretations and department policies relative to grading review, modify municipal code sections to implement requirements of the city’s Housing Element, and make other minor revisions to help improve regulatory transparency and implementation. Staff are also proposing a change to the code section that governs business licenses to make it compliant with current state law. Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 1 of 163 This item is being brought to the City Council because amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code must be reviewed and approved by the City Council. Two of the code sections to be updated, Municipal code Title 21 and Title 15, are part of the city’s Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan, so amendments to these titles also require the approval of the California Coastal Commission. Discussion Background Earlier this year, the Community Development Department’s Planning Division initiated a new recurring program to regularly review the municipal code and other land-use policies and regulations to identify any needed revisions to reflect state-mandated changes, correct errors, resolve ambiguities or inconsistencies, add clarifications and make minor additions for new requirements. Most of the proposed changes are in Title 15 through 21 of the code, which include the city’s regulations for development and use of property within the city. They provide information on zoning, grading, subdivisions and other related land use activities. Staff are also proposing a minor change to Title 5 - Business Licenses and Regulations, to make it complaint with state law. Amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code are prepared as ordinances to be adopted by the City Council. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 21 -Zoning require a Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council Amendments to Title 21 and Title 15 – Grading and Drainage also require approval by the California Coastal Commission, because they are part of the city’s Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan. The two ordinances (Exhibits 1 and 2) provide a clean copy of the changes and reflect what they will look like if adopted by City Council. Summary of code changes The amendments are proposed to improve the usability of the code for staff and customers, implement state law, and resolve inconsistencies. The 15 proposed cleanup amendments are highlighted in Exhibit 3, while Exhibit 4 provides a description and analysis of each proposed amendment. Summary of some of the more significant changes being proposed: • Approvals for small wireless facilities o Establishes a definition of small wireless facilities consistent with City Council Policy 64 - 64 Wireless Communication Facilities for allowing them on private property with a building permit. • Grading permit exemptions o Modifies the Grading Ordinance to exempt grading permit requirements for the following, consistent with standard practices:  Swimming pools  Permitted basements, foundations and footings Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 2 of 163  Retaining walls up to six feet that are retaining less than 200 cubic yards of soil • Child day care homes o Implements Senate Bill 234 which allows family day care homes of eight to 14 children in residential zones as a permitted use. Small homes of less than eight children are already allowed in these zones under the current municipal code. o Updates to Title 5, Business Licenses and Regulations, to exempt family day care homes of less than 14 children from a business license consistent with the requirements of Senate Bill 234. • Conditional Use Permit Extensions o All Conditional Use Permits are annually reviewed by Community Development Staff, and many include expiration dates based on original permit issuance. o The existing code allows permits granted prior to Feb. 21, 2006, to be extended in perpetuity by an action of the City Planner. o The original recommendation that was considered and approved by the Planning Commission would have removed the date and allowed permits to be automatically extended every five years instead of in perpetuity. o Following additional review of process, the very few complaints on existing permits, and efforts to streamline future amendments, the recommendation was revised to retain the existing process but removes the 2006 date to allow flexibility for all permits. Additional information and a comparison of the recommendations is included in Exhibit 4. Commission reviews The proposed amendments were considered by the Planning Commission and the Airport Land Use Commission. Their actions are summarized below. Planning Commission The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on June 15, 2022, and unanimously (7-0) recommended to the City Council approval of the amendments to Title 21 - Zoning) and the Local Coastal Program. No public comments were submitted to the city or received at the hearing. Airport Land Use Commission The proposed amendments affect land within the airport influence area for the McClellan- Palomar Airport. The Airport Land Use Commission – the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority – reviewed the amendment June 10, 2022, and found it to be consistent with the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Options 1. Adopt the amendments as recommended by staff a. Pros: Various improvements noted in the staff report will be made to the code, including consistency with state law Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 3 of 163 b. Cons: None identified 2. Deny the amendments a. Pros: None identified b. Cons: Existing identified issues with the code will remain, including the noted inconsistencies with state law 3. Make modifications to the amendments or send the changes back to staff for additional modification. a. Pros: • Depends on the modification. b. Cons: • Implementation of above noted improvements and consistency with state law would be delayed. • Under California Government Code Section 65857, any modification of the Zoning Ordinance not previously considered by the Planning Commission during its hearing must be sent to the commission for its recommendation before the City Council can take action on the new information. Fiscal Analysis There is no anticipated fiscal impact from this action. Next Steps Following the City Council’s introduction of the ordinances, they will be scheduled at the City Council’s next meeting for adoption. Thirty days following adoption, amendments to Title 5 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code will become effective citywide. Amendments to Titles 15 and 21 of the code will become effective outside of the Coastal Zone. The amendments to Titles 15 and 21 will not become effective within the Coastal Zone until the California Coastal Commission approves the Local Coastal Program Amendment. Staff will submit an application to the Coastal Commission for a Local Coastal Program Amendment following the City Council’s adoption of the ordinance (Exhibit 2). Environmental Evaluation The proposed project includes 15 separate amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including the Zoning Ordinance. Given the diverse nature of the amendments, separate exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act are applicable and are found in Exhibit 6. Public Notification This amendment has been posted online since May 20, 2022. In addition, a six-week public review period for the Local Coastal Program Amendment began on May 20, 2022, and ended on July 1, 2022.

Grading Permit Exemption Add certain activities to the list of activities exempt from a grading permit. Modify grading ordinance to exempt swimming pools, excavation for permitted basements, foundations and footings, as well as retaining walls up to 6 feet in height (as long as less than 200 cubic yards of dirt). Amendments clarify requirements and bring the city requirements into best practices consistent with other local ordinances. 2. Nonconforming due to over-density Delete the statement in the code that developments which are over Growth Management Control Point but within the General Plan density range are considered "nonconforming". The code is incorrect. The proper determination that a residential property is nonconforming by reason of density is when a development is over the residential density ranges established by the General Plan Table 2-3. 3. Roof heights and third story for lots zoned R-1-20,000 Specific to lots zoned R-1-20,000 (areas zoned R-1 that are required to have a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet or greater), the proposed amendment will increase the height limit for flat roof designs from 24 to 29 feet and two to three stories. In the R-1 zone, buildings are limited to heights of 30 feet and two stories if the roof pitch exceeds 3:12, and 24 feet and two stories if the roof pitch is less than 3:12. The existing code also provides for an increased height limit of 35 feet and three stories if the roof pitch exceeds 3:12 for lots zoned R-1-20,000, however it is silent regarding roof pitches less than 3:12 for these same lots. It is believed that this omission is unintentional, and the code should provide a corresponding 5 ft. and 1 story increase for these roof designs similar to what is allowed for homes with a steeper roof pitch. Additionally, recent architectural trends show increased use of modern designs with flatter roofs, which are unnecessarily penalized in this scenario. The existing and proposed increased height limits do not apply to lots with basic R-1 zoning, and only apply to lots with the “-20,000” extension on their R-1 zoning designation. 4. Building separation standard Replace the zoning code requirements for building separation in residential zones with reference to building code requirements for building separation. Building separation is adequately regulated by building code, so the zoning code’s existing requirement is unnecessary. Additionally, certain ADUs are exempt from the zoning code building separation requirement (although they must comply with building code), further making this standard unnecessary. Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 69 of 163 MCA 2022-0004/ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP Exhibit 4 - Analysis Table of Proposed Amendments 2 Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis 5. Street side yard setbacks for detached non-habitable structures Clarify that a street side yard setback of five feet applies to detached non- habitable accessory structures. In the code and in staff practice, the term “street side yard” refers to side yards that have street frontage, and “side yard” refers to those that do not. On residential lots, detached non-habitable accessory structures are required to comply with a five foot setback for side and rear yards, however the code is silent on situations when the side yard is adjacent to a street. This amendment would codify an interpretation and apply the same setback for the interior side of a lot to the side yard adjacent to a street. 6. Massage therapy and personal services use listing Categorize massage and massage therapy uses as "personal services" instead of "medical" type uses. Create a definition for “personal services” use listing and use it to replace similar use listings. There has been confusion between physical therapy and massage therapy uses. A previous determination was made that massage therapy was a medical use. As massage businesses and chains kept inquiring about the zones that they could locate in, further evaluation and discussion occurred about how the use should classified. Since a medical service is not being provided with massage therapy (unlike physical therapy), the City Planner determined that a massage business should be classified as a personal service type use. The use is not specifically included in the listing of medical uses (dentists, doctors, chiropractors, etc.) in the office zone. This amendment will clarify the code with respect to these types of uses. As is the current practice, massage therapy will continue to be allowed in commercial zones but not in the Office zone as a medical office use. In addition, individual use listings that fall within the definition for “personal services” are proposed to be consolidated and replaced by the “personal services” use listing to prevent redundancy. 7. Conditional Use Permits Amend expiration requirements for conditional use permits. Existing code allowed permits to be extended administratively by the city planner in perpetuity if granted prior to Feb. 21, 2006. Originally, the Planning Commission recommended modifications to Section 21.42.110 (D) that would automatically extend conditional use permits for five years. Upon further review and consideration following the Planning Commission hearing, staff recommends that an administrative process remain to review and authorize extensions in perpetuity. Therefore, the recommendation was revised to remove the February 21, 2006 Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 70 of 163 MCA 2022-0004/ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP Exhibit 4 - Analysis Table of Proposed Amendments 3 Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis requirement to allow the City Planer to administratively approve extensions in perpetuity. The vast majority of existing permits have no issues and the process to extend requires the applicant to submit an application and pay a fee in addition to staff time to complete. The proposal would eliminate the requirement to process time extensions for CUPs while preserving the option for the city to not extend a CUP, revoke a CUP or amend/enforce conditions of approval. For comparison, both recommendations are included in as follows, but the current staff recommendation is what is included in Exhibits 2 and 3). The Planning Commission Recommendation is: D. All existing conditional use permits approved prior to February 21, 2006, which include an expiration date and a requirement to extend the permit, may be hereby approved administratively by the city planner in perpetuity without the requirement to extend the conditional use permit shall automatically renew at the end of each term for a further five years unless written notice of termination is given to the permittee no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the permit. The revised staff recommendation is: D. All existing conditional use permits prior to February 21, 2006, which include an expiration date and a requirement to extend the permit, may be hereby approved administratively by the city planner in perpetuity without the requirement to extend the conditional use permit. 8. Pool setbacks Delete pool setbacks from the zoning code and defer to the building code. Building code adequately regulates the placement of pools within yards and maintaining a separate zoning code requirement is not necessary. 9. HMP & constrained lands Amend CMC Section 21.53.230 as shown in HMP Appendix D-4 (see Attachment A) and to be consistent with GP Land Use Element Table 2-5 on pg. 2-20. The Habitat Management Plan and General Plan state that certain habitat areas are included in density calculations but are not developable, but this differs from 21.53.230. The Planning Director determined (October 9, 2003) that HMP lands are not environmentally constrained lands pursuant to 21.53.230 and are therefore not excluded from density credit unless the habitat is located on steep slopes. This amendment Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 71 of 163 MCA 2022-0004/ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP Exhibit 4 - Analysis Table of Proposed Amendments 4 Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis would make the zoning code consistent with the HMP and General Plan. 10. Housing Element Implementation - Program 1.3(g) Implement a portion of Housing Element Program 1.3(g) by amending the zoning ordinance to address employee housing and residential care facility parking. Housing Element Program 1.3(g) commits the city to reviewing provisions of the zoning ordinance including the definition of “family”, permitted uses and development standards for consistency with state law related to employee housing and residential care facilities. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5, employee housing for six or less residents must be permitted in residential zones and considered the same as a single family dwelling, subject to the same use and development standard restrictions. This amendment proposes to bring the zoning code into compliance with this state law. Pursuant to sections 5115 and 5116 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, residential care facilities of six or fewer persons shall be considered a residential use of property for the purposes of zoning. A local agency cannot impose stricter zoning standards on these homes of six or fewer persons than are required of the other permitted residential uses in the zone. To comply with state law, the parking standard must be amended to match the standard for a single family dwelling. 11. Senate Bill 234 Implement Senate Bill 234 by amending the zoning ordinance so it is consistent with state law with regard to child day care homes. Senate Bill 234 Family Daycare Homes, effective Jan. 1, 2020, prohibits local agencies from requiring a zoning permit or business license for large or small family day care homes, and specifies that any dwelling type may be used for family day care home. 12. Mobilehome policies Update the CMC Chapter 21.37 to be consistent with California Code of Regulations Title 25, Division1, Chapter 2. Development of mobile home parks are governed by state law and certain local agency standards on mobile home parks are preempted - see Planning memo dated July 11, 2008 in Attachment B. The proposed amendments would delete Carlsbad’s local standards for mobile home parks that are preempted and covered by state law. 13. Approvals for small wireless facilities Establish a process for small wireless facilities that are located on public and private property to be approved by a building permit. This amendment is necessary for the implementation of amendments to City Council Policy 64 adopted in Dec. 2021. Federal law establishes very short time periods for approval of small wireless facilities and it is necessary to Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 72 of 163 MCA 2022-0004/ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP Exhibit 4 - Analysis Table of Proposed Amendments 5 Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis process them with a building permit on public and private property. Within the right-of-way they are already processed with a right-of-way permit, which is a similar ministerial permit, but the code provisions for the building permit need to be established in order to use this process for these facilities. 14. Incorrect code references CMC Section 21.31.060A.1. incorrectly refers to Section 21.31.080(L) – it should refer 21.31.080(K). In sections 21.54.125.C and 21.210.070, the reference to 21.54.042 should be changed to 21.54.040. This amendment fixes incorrect code references. 15. Update General Plan Land Use designation references Various sections of the Carlsbad Municipal Code include references to the general plan land use designations from the previous 1994 General Plan. These references need to be updated to reflect the 2015 General Plan This amendment is necessary in order to update outdated references to the 1994 General Plan with references to the 2015 General Plan. The 2015 General Plan changed titles for land use designations to new naming convention. The changes proposed in this amendment do not change the land use designation from one to another, they only change the titles of the land use designation references to match the approved 2015 General Plan. Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 73 of 163 Item No. Application complete date: N/A P.C. AGENDA OF:June 15, 2022 Project Planner: Corey Funk Project Engineer: N/A SUBJECT: ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 – 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP Request for recommendation of approval for amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code Title 21, The Zoning Ordinance, to complete various miscellaneous cleanup amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The action also includes a Local Coastal Program Amendment for the updates to the Zoning Code. Amendments to other titles of the municipal code are also presented for informational purposes. The city planner has determined that Amendments 1 – 9 and 11 – 15 are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the amendments do not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment, and that Amendment 10 is covered under EIR 13-05 and addendum approved on April 6, 2021 for an update of the city’s Housing Element for the 6th cycle (2021 – 2029) by Resolution 2021-073. I.RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7452 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of Zoning Code Amendment ZCA 2022-0002 and Local Coastal Program Amendment LCPA 2022-0014, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND As described below, the project consists of miscellaneous cleanup amendments to various titles of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including Title 21 Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission has authority to recommend amendments to Title 21, but not the other titles of the Municipal Code; therefore, this staff report requests the Planning Commission’s recommendation on the proposed amendments to Title 21 (ZCA 2022-0002). The proposed Municipal Code amendments (Title 21 and sections of Title 15) are also amendments to the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan; and therefore, a Local Coastal Program amendment is proposed (LCPA 2022-0014). The Planning Commission’s recommendation to amend the Zoning Ordinance also constitutes a recommendation to amend the Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan. No portion of the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan is being amended. Background: The Carlsbad Municipal Code (Code) provides for all the regulatory, penal, and administrative ordinances of the City of Carlsbad, California. In the Code, Titles 15 through 21 provide for the consolidated regulations pertaining to the use, development and/or modification of land within the city. Title 21 contains the city’s Zoning Ordinance, which is part of the proposed amendments. 1 Exhibit 5 Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 74 of 163 ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 – 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP June 15, 2022 Page 2 Earlier this year, the Planning Division initiated a new, reoccurring work program to annually review the city’s Code and regulations to see if anything needs to be updated to reflect state-mandated changes, correct errors, resolve ambiguities or inconsistencies, add clarifications and make minor additions for new requirements. Those issues that have been identified are being addressed as part of a Carlsbad Municipal Code, including the Zoning Ordinance, clean-up effort to occur every other year. Zoning Ordinance Amendments are prepared as ordinances and require Planning Commission recommendation and City Council adoption. For amendments to ordinances that are part of the Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (Title 21 and sections of Title 15), approval by the California Coastal Commission is required. As mentioned above, the amendments propose changes to various titles of the Carlsbad Municipal Code in addition to Title 21. The Planning Commission’s authority applies only to Title 21, and therefore, the commission will not review the proposed amendments to other Municipal Code titles. Exhibits 1A, 2 and 3 to this staff report identify the proposed amendments to Titles 5, 15 and 21, as these exhibits will be presented to the City Council for approval; however, the Planning Commission’s recommendation to the City Council pertains only to Title 21 amendments. Exhibit 2 to the staff report provides a strikethrough and underlined version of all of the proposed Municipal Code changes, including the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission Resolution (Exhibit 1) includes Exhibit 1A (draft City Council ordinance), which provides a “clean” copy of the changes and reflects what they will look like if adopted by City Council. Project Description: A summary of the Title 21 Zoning Ordinance changes are highlighted below: • Amendment to improve clarity and code usability o Codify interpretations and department policies will more clearly state code requirements and logically locate information o Add clarification to vague code sections will aid individuals as they review and interpret the code • Additions and deletions of minor requirements o Deleting zoning standards when the issue is adequately regulated by building code o Adding minor new requirements that supplement and clarify existing standards but do not create significant new allowances beyond the existing standards • Regulatory consistency o Implementation of a portion of Housing Element Program 1.3(g)1 by making amendments related to residential care facilities and employee housing o Update child day care home regulations consistent with state law o Update mobile home regulations consistent with state law o Establishing a permit process for small wireless facilities when located outside the right- of-way on public or private property that will meet federal shot clock timeframes 1 On April 6, 2021 the City Council approved an update to the city’s Housing Element for the sixth cycle to cover the period from 2021 to 2029. The housing element contains various programs that commit the city to a series of actions including amendments to its general plan and zoning ordinance. Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 75 of 163 ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 – 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP June 15, 2022 Page 3 • Amendments to address errors and inconsistencies, such as incorrect code references • Updating code references and terminology o General Plan Land Use designation titles that changed with the adoption of the 2015 General Plan III. ANALYSIS For a specific description of each proposed amendment and its associated analysis, please see the analysis table in Exhibit 3. The amendments to the Zoning Ordinance (Title 21) are intended to clarify regulations and procedures as well as establish consistency with California Government Code. Staff has analyzed the proposed amendments and finds that the amendments are internally consistent with the other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance not being amended and that the proposed amendments do not create any conflicts with the provisions of the General Plan or Local Coastal Program. The Planning Commission has the authority under Chapter 21.52 of the Zoning Code to provide recommendations to the City Council on any amendments to the Zoning Ordinance or Local Coastal Program. Pursuant to section 21.52.050, the Planning Commission must provide a recommendation based on the relationship of the proposed amendment to applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, and any applicable master or specific plan. General Plan Consistency: The proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments would be consistent with the existing General Plan goals and policies. The Zoning Ordinance effectively implements the General Plan by regulating the distribution and intensity of land uses in such categories as residential, commercial, and industrial. Regulations establish standards for minimum lot size; building height and setback limits; fence heights; parking; and other development parameters within each land use. In the event of an inconsistency between the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan, the General Plan shall prevail. To effectively implement the General Plan, there needs to be regulations that clearly and effectively implement land use development goals and objectives. The basis of establishing and updating, as necessary, local standards and guidelines for land use activities ensures land use compatibility is achieved and maintained over time. This will help the city maintain a land use program with amount, design and arrangement of varied uses that serve to protect and enhance the character and image of the city (policy 2-G.1 of the Land Use Element). The proposed modifications are based on existing policies and practices and refined according to zoning and planning standards. Local Coastal Program Consistency: With the inclusion of LCPA 2022-2014, this project meets the requirements of, and is in conformity with, the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and all applicable policies of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program not being amended by this amendment. This amendment does not modify the use or intensity of any designations and only clarifies existing process and definitions. Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 76 of 163 ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 – 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP June 15, 2022 Page 4 IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP includes 15 separate amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including the Zoning Ordinance. Given the diverse nature of the amendments, separate exemptions under CEQA are applicable. Amendments 1 – 9 and 11 – 15: The City Planner has determined that the amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the common sense exemption, Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, since there would be no possibility of a significant effect on the environment because: • The proposed amendments do not directly or indirectly authorize or approve any actual changes in the physical environment • Certain amendments are proposed for compliance with state or federal law and the scope of city discretion is limited • Requirements that are proposed to be added or deleted are minor in nature • Certain amendments address errors, inconsistencies and terminology updates The City Planner issued a notice of intended decision with respect to the exemption. The notice was circulated for public review, which began on June 7, 2022 and will end on June 22, 2022. If an appeal is filed, it will be processed in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.54.140. Amendment 10: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA, Public Resources Code section 21000 et. seq.), and its implementing regulations (the State CEQA Guidelines), Section 15168 set the criteria for use of a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for later activities to determine if an additional environmental document must be prepared. Section 15168 (c) (2) directs a Program EIR to utilize the specific process referenced in Sections 15162 through 15164 that sets forth the criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation, if any, to be completed when there is a previously adopted Negative Declaration (ND) or a previously certified EIR covering the project for which a subsequent discretionary action is required. As part of its approval of the Comprehensive General Plan Update on Sept. 22, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 2015-242, certifying EIR 13-02 and adopting Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. EIR 13-02 is available as part of the General Plan Update documents page of the Planning Division at https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/community-development/planning/general-plan/related- documents. Subsequently, on April 6, 2021 the City Council approved an update of the city’s Housing Element for the 6th cycle (2021 – 2029) by Resolution 2021-073, which included an Addendum consistent with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines to study impacts of the Goals, Policies, Programs and Objectives contained in the Housing Element. On July 13, 2021 the California Department of Housing and Community Development found the element to be in substantial compliance with all applicable laws. The Addendum and resolution are available at: 2021-04-06; City Council; Resolution 2021-073 (carlsbadca.gov) The Addendum included an evaluation of the Housing Element Goals, Policies, Programs and Objectives that Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 77 of 163 ZCA2022-0002/LCPA 2022-0014 – 2022 ZONING ORDINANCE CLEANUP June 15, 2022 Page 5 will be implemented throughout the eight-year housing cycle. Additionally, the Housing Element did not include any changes to Land Uses in the General Plan or Zoning Ordinance. The proposed project includes amendments to implement a portion of Housing Element Program 1.3(g), specifically making amendments to bring the zoning ordinance into compliance with state law with respect to employee housing and residential care facility parking. The proposed amendments breaks no new legal ground and is within the scope of the of the Addendum. During adoption of the General Plan, EIR 13-02 considered and evaluated all land use impacts for the components of the proposed project. The Addendum evaluated all direct and indirect impacts, in addition to cumulative impacts, that would result from Housing Element implementation. Amendment 10 falls under the scope of the Addendum and is internally consistent with other provisions of the code, and the land use regulations and requirements set forth in the city’s General Plan and Local Coastal Program. As these programs were considered in the April 6, 2021 Addendum, there are no cumulative impacts that have not been considered and studied, and there are no unanticipated environmental impacts or changes in circumstances. Additionally, there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3) and none of the triggers for a subsequent/supplemental EIR apply.

Section 21.90.045 is proposed to be amended as follows: Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 147 of 163 21.90.045 Growth management residential control point established. In order to ensure that residential development does not exceed those limits established in the general plan, the following growth management control points are established for the residential density ranges of the land use element. Allowed Dwelling Units Per Acre General Plan Density Ranges Growth Management Control Point RLR-1.5 0—1.5 1.0 RLMR-4 0—4.0 3.2 RMR-8 4.0—8.0 6.0 RMHR-15 8.0—15.0 11.5 RHR-23 15.0—23.0 19.0 R-30 23.0—30.0 25.0 No residential development permit shall be approved which density exceeds the growth management control point for the applicable density range unless the following findings are made: 1. The project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the city’s public facilities plans will not be adversely impacted; and 2. There have been sufficient developments approved in the quadrant at densities below the control point to cover the units in the project above the control point so that approval will not result in exceeding the quadrant limit; and 3. All necessary public facilities required by this chapter will be constructed or are guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the need for them created by this development and in compliance with the adopted city standards. For the purposes of this section the term “quadrant” means those quadrants established by the intersections of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road as set forth in the map amending the General Plan and as required by Proposition E adopted November 4, 1986. Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 148 of 163 Exhibit 3 Analysis Table of Proposed Amendments Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis 1. Grading Permit Exemption Add certain activities to the list of activities exempt from a grading permit. Modify grading ordinance to exempt swimming pools, excavation for permitted basements, foundations and footings, as well as retaining walls up to 6 feet in height (as long as less than 200 cubic yards of dirt). Amendments clarify requirements and bring the city requirements into best practices consistent with other local ordinances. 2. Nonconforming due to over-density Delete the statement in the code that developments which are over Growth Management Control Point but within the General Plan density range are considered "nonconforming". The code is incorrect. The proper determination that a residential property is nonconforming by reason of density is when a development is over the residential density ranges established by the General Plan Table 2-3. 3. Roof heights and third story for lots zoned R-1-20,000 Specific to lots zoned R-1-20,000 (areas zoned R-1 that are required to have a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet or greater), the proposed amendment will increase the height limit for flat roof designs from 24 to 29 feet and two to three stories. In the R-1 zone, buildings are limited to heights of 30 feet and two stories if the roof pitch exceeds 3:12, and 24 feet and two stories if the roof pitch is less than 3:12. The existing code also provides for an increased height limit of 35 feet and three stories if the roof pitch exceeds 3:12 for lots zoned R-1- 20,000, however it is silent regarding roof pitches less than 3:12 for these same lots. It is believed that this omission is unintentional, and the code should provide a corresponding 5 ft. and 1 story increase for these roof designs similar to what is allowed for homes with a steeper roof pitch. Additionally, recent architectural trends show increased use of modern designs with flatter roofs, which are unnecessarily penalized in this scenario. The existing and proposed increased height limits do not apply to lots with basic R-1 zoning, and only apply to lots with the “-20,000” extension on their R-1 zoning designation. 4. Building separation standard Replace the zoning code requirements for building separation in residential zones with reference to building code requirements for building separation. Building separation is adequately regulated by building code, so the zoning code’s existing requirement is unnecessary. Additionally, certain ADUs are exempt from the zoning code building separation requirement (although they must comply Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 149 of 163 Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis with building code), further making this standard unnecessary. 5. Street side yard setbacks for detached non-habitable structures Clarify that a street side yard setback of five feet applies to detached non-habitable accessory structures. On residential lots, detached non-habitable accessory structures are required to comply with a five foot setback for side and rear yards, however the code is silent on when the side yard is a street side yard. This amendment would codify an interpretation and apply the same setbacks for interior lots to lots with a side yard adjacent to a street. 6. Massage therapy and personal services use listing Categorize massage and massage therapy uses as "personal services" instead of "medical" type uses. Create a definition for “personal services” use listing and use it to replace similar use listings. There has been confusion between physical therapy and massage therapy uses. A previous determination was made that massage therapy was a medical use. As massage businesses and chains kept inquiring about the zones that they could locate in, further evaluation and discussion occurred about how the use should classified. Since a medical service is not being provided with massage therapy (unlike physical therapy), the City Planner determined that a massage business should be classified as a personal service type use. The use is not specifically included in the listing of medical uses (dentists, doctors, chiropractors, etc.) in the office zone. This amendment will clarify the code with respect to these types of uses. 7. Conditional Use Permits Amend expiration requirements for conditional use permits. Certain conditional use permits require time extensions. The vast majority have no issues and the process to extend requires the applicant to submit an application and pay a fee in addition to staff time to complete. The proposal would eliminate the requirement to process time extensions for CUPs while preserving the option for the city to not extend a CUP, revoke a CUP or amend/enforce conditions of approval. The proposed amendment would reduce city operational costs associated with processing CUP extensions and tracking CUP expiration dates. Additionally, the proposed amendment would benefit property owners and/or business owners who are often unaware that their CUP has an expiration and view the process of extending their CUP’s as costly, timely and an unnecessary burden. 8. Pool setbacks Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 150 of 163 Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis Delete pool setbacks from the zoning code and defer to the building code. Building code adequately regulates the placement of pools within yards and maintaining a separate zoning code requirement is not necessary. 9. HMP & constrained lands Amend CMC Section 21.53.230 as shown in HMP Appendix D-4 (see Attachment A) and to be consistent with GP Land Use Element Table 2-5 on pg. 2-20. The Habitat Management Plan and General Plan state that certain habitat areas are included in density calculations but are not developable, but this differs from 21.53.230. The Planning Director determined (October 9, 2003) that HMP lands are not environmentally constrained lands pursuant to 21.53.230 and are therefore not excluded from density credit unless the habitat is located on steep slopes. This amendment would make the zoning code consistent with the HMP and General Plan. 10. Housing Element Implementation - Program 1.3(g) Implement a portion of Housing Element Program 1.3(g) by amending the zoning ordinance to address employee housing and residential care facility parking. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5, employee housing for six or less residents must be permitted in residential zones and considered the same as a single family dwelling, subject to the same use and development standard restrictions. This amendment proposes to bring the zoning code into compliance with this state law. Pursuant to sections 5115 and 5116 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, residential care facilities of six or fewer persons shall be considered a residential use of property for the purposes of zoning. A local agency cannot impose stricter zoning standards on these homes of six or fewer persons than are required of the other permitted residential uses in the zone. To comply with state law, the parking standard must be amended to match the standard for a single family dwelling. 11. Senate Bill 234 Implement Senate Bill 234 by amending the zoning ordinance so it is consistent with state law with regard to child day care homes. Senate Bill 234 Family Daycare Homes, effective Jan. 1, 2020, prohibits local agencies from requiring a zoning permit or business license for large or small family day care homes, and specifies that any dwelling type may be used for family day care home. 12. Mobilehome policies Update the CMC Chapter 21.37 to be consistent with California Code of Regulations Title 25, Division1, Chapter 2. Development of mobile home parks are governed by state law and certain local agency standards on mobile home parks are preempted - see Planning memo dated July 11, 2008 in Attachment B. The Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 151 of 163 Proposed Amendment Discussion/Analysis proposed amendments would delete Carlsbad’s local standards for mobile home parks that are preempted and covered by state law. 13. Approvals for small wireless facilities Establish a process for small wireless facilities that are located on public and private property to be approved by a building permit. This amendment is necessary for the implementation of amendments to City Council Policy 64 adopted in Dec. 2021. Federal law establishes very short time periods for approval of small wireless facilities and it is necessary to process them with a building permit on public and private property. Within the right-of-way they are already processed with a right-of-way permit, which is a similar ministerial permit, but the code provisions for the building permit need to be established in order to use this process for these facilities. 14. Incorrect code references CMC Section 21.31.060A.1. incorrectly refers to Section 21.31.080(L) – it should refer 21.31.080(K). In sections 21.54.125.C and 21.210.070, the reference to 21.54.042 should be changed to 21.54.040. This amendment fixes incorrect code references. 15. Update General Plan Land Use designation references Various sections of the Carlsbad Municipal Code include references to the general plan land use designations from the previous 1994 General Plan. These references need to be updated to reflect the 2015 General Plan This amendment is necessary in order to update outdated references to the 1994 General Plan with references to the 2015 General Plan. The 2015 General Plan changed titles for land use designations to new naming convention. The changes proposed in this amendment do not change the land use designation from one to another, they only change the titles of the land use designation references to match the approved 2015 General Plan.

The evaluation of these potential conflicts has taken place in response to an informational bulletin issued by the State Department of Housing and Community Development to clarify and inform local governments on the preemptive nature of state law governing the installation of manufactured homes and/or the sale or conversion of mobile home parks (see attached). Whereas sections of CMC establish regulations governing mobile home park uses, development standards, permit requirements and parking standards for construction of and improvements to mobile home parks, many of these regulations remain unenforceable at the municipal level given their preemption by the MPA and SOPA. In accordance with MPA and SOPA, local agencies are given limited authority to enforce regulations on mobile home parks. Examples of regulations local agencies are precluded from enforcing include the following: • Setbacks and separation distances of structures/units within mobile home parks; • Requirements to obtain building permits for mobile homes and/or accessory structures; • Minimum or maximum size of units within a mobile home park; • Requirements for maintenance and/or repair; • Perimeter walls for mobile home parks not located alongside public rights-of-way; • Minimum or maximum lot size requirements for lots within a mobile home park; • Parking requirements (including number and design of required spaces) for lots within a mobile home park; • Density of individual lots within a mobile home park; and, • Onsite utility requirements such as undergrounding. Select examples of provisions within CMC that are preempted by state law include development standards established by CMC Section 21.37.100 and are presented as follows: • "Fifteen percent of the mobile home sites may be three thousand square feet in area to accommodate a twenty foot wide mobile home. The remaining sites shall have a minimum of three thousand five hundred square feet in area;" • "Each mobile home lot shall have a width not less than fifty feet;" . • "Not more than one single-family mobile home or factory-built home may be placed on a mobile home lot. Each mobile home or factory-built house shall contain one dwelling unit only. No mobile home or factory-built house shall be less than twenty-four feet wide, except for the fifteen percent affordable housing units which may be twenty feet wide;" 1635 Faraday Avenue• Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 • (760) 602-4600 • FAX (760) 602-8559 • www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us @ Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 154 of 163 ., • "Carports/awnings must be constructed of noncombustible materials and may be constructed to the lot line provided there is a minimum of three feet clearance from a mobile home or any other structures on the adjacent lots;" • "The area of the mobile home and all mobile home accessory structures shall not cover more than seventy-five percent of the mobile home site;" • "Mobile home park streets shall be lighted in accordance with the standards established by the city engineer;" • "Mobile hom e parks shall be enclosed by solid masonry fences, six feet in height, subject to pl anning director approval, along dedicated street frontages and interior property lines." Contrastingly, limited areas for which local agencies may enforce regulations on mobile home parks include the following: • Establishment of zones allowing for mobile home park uses and prohibition of certain uses within the parks; • Fire prevention regulations, including number and spacing of required fire hydrants; • Signage; • Provisions for access; • Overall density allowances for the mobile home park provided the allowable density is no less than that permissible by the local zoning ordinance, including applicable density bonuses; • Requirements for provision of recreational facilities only insofar as they would be required in other types of residential developments containing a like number of units. • Broad regulation of mobile/manufactured home use/development when located outside of a mobile home park; • Requirements for perimeter fences and walls for the park (including fence/wall setbacks), when located along a public right-of-way. Given that MPA and SOPA preempt certain regulations established by CMC, thereby rendering them unenforceable, the City may choose to consider any of the following remedial options: 1. To process individual permits for construction, improvement or subdivision of mobile home parks under existing municipal code regulations while recognizing that certain provisions are preempted by MPA and SOPA; 2. To immediately process a ZCA and LCPA to revise sections of the municipal code by eliminating regulations preempted by MPA and SOPA; or, 3. To amend the preempted provisions with the comprehensive General Plan/Zoning Code Update. Regardless of which option is pursued, the entire planning staff should be made aware of the conflicting provisions in the Zoning Code and their preemption by MPA and SOPA. Should you have any specific questions regarding preemptions established by MPA or SOPA; or if I may assist in pursuit any of the above-listed options, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

JUN 2008 · Planning Department City of Carlsbad SUBJECT: VALIDITY OF LOCAL ORDIN ANCES RELATING TO INSTALLATION OF NEW . . . . MANUFACTURED HOl'JI ES AND/OR SALE OR CONVERSION OF MOBILEHOME PARKS A number of local governments are enacting or enforcing ordinances relative to the physical operation and condition of mobilehome parks and recreational vehicle parks that are in conflict with the preemptive nature of the Mobilehome Parks Act ("Mf:>A"), found•in Health & Safety Code ]"H&SC"] sections 18200, et seq., and the Special Occupancy Parks Act("SOPA"), found in H&SC sections 18665, et seq .. Throughout this memorandum, there are references to "manufactured homes", "mobilehome parks" and "the Mobilehome Parks Act"; however, unless otherwise -noted, the s~me issues and rules apply to recreational vehicles or park model trailers, recreational vehicle parks, and · the Special Occupancy Parks Act. · · · · · · . . This memorandum's purpose is to provid~ information and clarification for local government officials and those involved with mobilehome parks and manufactured home installations or sales that state law restricts local government authority at\empting to regulate tlie physical structure and operation of . mobilehome parks-whether privat~ly-owrjed, resident-owned, or in the process of conversion. For example, local ordinances which impose inspection, lot standards, or infrastructure requirements within a mobilehome park at the time of hqme· installation, conversion, or sale generally are expressly . and/or impliedly preempted by the MPA, and the only valid authority for imposing and enforcing these · · requirements is the California Dep~rtm_ent_ of Housing and Community Developmel")t ("HCD") or local enforcement agencies that have assumed jurisdiction to enforce _the MPA. Statutory Pro~isions Governing Preemption . California courts have established gui.delines for:when local ordinances are preempted by state law. The general rule is that, if an otherwise vaJ.id local· ordinances conflicts with preemptive state law, it is invalid. A "conflicr exists if an ordin.~n.ce ''9.up1tcate~. contradicts, or enters an area fully occupied by state law, either expressly orby in,plicatiory". -ln·addition, -preemption is implied if the area is so fully cqver~d by state law, as to indio~t~ it is exg!usively a matter of state concern; it is partially covered by_ state law but the ·state coverage ITT<;14cates':that~ paramountstate 'concern. wm not allow additional ··~ . . .

In the MPA, subdivision {a) of H&SC section 18300 provides that "the MPA and HCD regulations apply to all parts of the state and supersede any ord inance enacted by any 9ity, county, or city and county, whether general law or chartered, affecting parks." Subdivision (g)and {h) of section 18300 provide the limited specific exceptions to the general state preemption, stating that the MPA does not preclude local governments, within the reasonable exercise of their police powers, from doing any of the following: * Enacting certain zones for mobil~home parks within the jurisdiction, or establishing types of uses and locations such as seriior mobilehome parks, mobilehome condominiums, or mobilehome subdivisions within the Jurisd iction. {subdivision {g)(1 )] * Adopting ordinances, rules, regulc;1tions or resoiutions prescribing park perimeter walls or enclosures on public street frontage~ signs, access, and vehiele parking; or prescribing the prohibition of certain uses for mobilehome parks. {subdivision {g)(1 ), emphasis added] * Regulating the construction and use of equipment and facilities located -outside of a manufactured home or mobilehome us~d to supply .gas, water, or electricity thereto or to dispose of sewage when the facilities are located outside a.park. [subdivision (g)(2), emphasis added]. · * Requiring a permit to use a manufactured home or mobilehome outside a park which permit may be refused or revoked if th~ use violates the MPA or the Manufactured Housing Act. [subdivision (g)(3), emphasis added.] · * Requiring a local building permit to construct an accessory structure for a manufactured home or mobilehome when the manuf~tured home or mobilehome is located outside .a . mobilehome park,. [subdivision (g)(4), emphasis added] * Prescribing and enforcing setback and separation requirements governing manufactured home, mobilehome, or rnobilehome accessory structure ot building installation outside of a mobilehome park. [subdivi~ion (gX5), emphasis added] Other provisions directly addressing pr~emptive authority include H&SC sections 18253, 18400.1, 18605, 18610, and 25 CA Co9e of Regulations (CCR), ~ection 1000. Permissible Local Government Regulation and Standards ) Local governments do have some authprity to regulate certain physical components in a mobilehome park. Also, pursuant to subdivision (b) of H&SC section 18300, they may assume MPA enforcement authority and become a "local enforcement agency" ("LEA"), rather than relying on HCD inspectors. · As stated above, su~division {g) of H&~C section 18300 provides express authority for local governments, within the reasonable exercise of police _powers, to adopt zoni•ng or-0inances to ~-.. . .. Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 157 of 163 ' / Information Bulletin 2008-10 page 3 allow or prohibit parks and certain park uses, and for park perimeter walls or enclosures on public street frontage, signs, access, and vehicle parking. Also, subdivision {h) of that section allows local governments, within specified parameters, to establish new park density, to require recreational facilities, and to require setback and separation requirements for manufactured housing outside of park~ but no greater than those permitted by applicable ordinances for other affordable housing, forms. H&SC section 18691, subdivision (b), permits a local government that is the MPA enforcement agency to enforce within parks its own fire code that imposes standards equal to or greater than the restrictions in ttie California Building Standards Code ("CBSC") and other state requirements. In addition, a local government which is not a local enforcement agency may assume fire prevention a4Jhority and impose certain portions of its fire code within a park. Subdivision (e) of H&SC section 18501 and Title 25 CCR, section 1032, permit a local government to approve or deny approval for any construction permit to build or increase the size of a park or to add multifamily manufactured housing based on "compliance with all valid local planning health, utility and fire requirements". (H&SC §18501, emphasis added). The use of the word "valid" implicitly excludE;IS requirements preempted by the MPA, allowing, for example, flood plain ordinance compliance, the minimum size of a park's land parcel, whether-a septic system sewer hook-up is required, where and whether off-site drainage is permitted; and/or the number and spactng of fire hydrants. · Local Ordinance Provisions Which Are Preempted ' General Background In implementing the Legislature's comprehensive statewide program to establish and enforce park standards for construction, maintenance, repairs; and occupancy, the Department's statutory and regulatory standards imp(?se standards for virtually every aspect of a park's or a manufactured home's physical conditions, except for those expressly left to local government action in subdivision (h) of H&SC _section 18300. With respect to construction of a new or_ expanded park, or installation of multifamily manufactured housing, HCD regulation~ require evidence of local approvals from the local planning agency; the health, fire, and P"1blic works departments; the agency responsible for flood control; the serving utilities; and ar,iy other state or federal agency or special district that has jurisdiction and would be impacted by the proposed construction. (25' CCR §§1020.6, 1032). Similarly, HCD or the LEA may require local approvals for construction of a · · permanent building under the ownership or control of the park within_ a park if that installation may impact local services. Most other iypes of construction, replacements, installations, and _ alterations require an MPA enforcement agency .permit arid inspections (25 CCR § 1018), _ but no local approvals. HCD regulations govern both park construction and manufactured home installation standards and procedures. Generally, the regulations require that a home and other - · · structures on a park lot use not .more tt;an 75% ofthe lot ·space ·(25 CCR '§111 O) and that the _ .-home and structures have specified set-backs and separations from lot lines ·and structures Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 158 of 163 Information Bulletin 2008-1-0 Page 4 (25 CCR §1330).-In addition, a "manuft;tctured home" is a specific preemptive definition in H&SC section 18007 and a recreational vehicle (including a park model) is a specifically defined term in H&SC section 18010. As a result, a local government cannot impose restrictions on the minimum· or. maximum size of a manufactured home to be installed on a mobilehome park lot (ordinance precluQiilg two-story manufactured homes found invalid in County of Santa Cruz v. Waterhouse (4005) 127 Cal.App.4th, 1483, 26 Cal.Rptr 3d 543) or whether a park model or recreational vehicle can be installed on a recreational vehicle lot. Examples of Preempted Ord inance Provisions The following italicized sentences are ~xamples of local ordinances {hat have been brought to HCD's attention and th~reer)'Wted by state laws and regulations. "If there has been no Title 25 inspection within 3 years, one must be obtained". H&SC sections 18605 and 1861 O provide that HCD's rules governpark maintenance and o__peration. No express or implied ex-ception exists in H&SC sectton 18300 permitting local governments to impose inspection requirements related to park maintenance. "The Park owner shall provide a list of ~II Title 25 deficiencies found on inspection and evidence that all deficiencies have been corrected." Pursuant to H&SC sections 18605 and 18610, HCD's rules govern park maint~nance and operation. Pursuant to the preemptive restrictions in H&SC section 18300, n0: express or implied exception exists permitting local governments to impose enforcement requirements related to park maintenance. In addition, the MPA does not require correction of all deficiencies: * The MPA expressly permits extended periods for repairs to achieve correction of deficiencies. H&SC section 18420, subdivision (c)(4), permits the.elifor-cement agency to defer repair requirements as long as there is a "valid reason why a violation has not been corrected, including, but not limited to, weather conditions, illness, availability of repair persons, or availability of financial resources .... " * The MPA permits an inspector to not cite a violation of the MPA if it is not an imminent hazard. (subdivision (d) of H&SC section 18420) "Written documentation from HCD shall be obtained demonstrating that the park complies · with all applicable Title 25 requirement!$." The MPA governs performance -of inspections and issuance of reports of violations or corr~ctions and does not require HCO or ah LEA to · - perform inspections to ensure compliance with "all applicable" Title 25 requirements. A "complaint inspection" involves r.esoluti9n of a specific complaint. A "park maint.enance .· inspection" involves identification and r~soiution of only hazards which are either an immediate risk to life, health, and safety, requiring immediate correction; or those constituting unreasonable risks to life, health or safety, requiring correction with 60 days (H&SC §18400.3). No other violations of Title 25 are recorded. ('Proof of remediation of any Title 25 violations shall be confirmed in writing by the California -_ Deparlment of Housing and Community Development." In addition to the obvious issue that a local government cannot require HCO to perform any duties r-ettated to parks, HOD does not have enforcement responsibility for mc:lny of the state's parks and therefore has no information regarding any identified viof~tions or proposed or completed remedies in those -- parks subject to LEA enforce~rit. · · Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 159 of 163 Information Bulletin 2008-10 Page 5 "Prior to installation of a ·new home on an existing Jot, tt,ere shall be two covered and paved parking spaces on the lot." Subdivision (f) of Title 25 CCR section 1106 expres~ly and fully regulates p·aving for driveways and roadways, stating that paving generally is not required; therefore, local governments may not impose paving requirements. Title 25 CCR sections 1110, 1116, and 1118 regulate lot standards, precluding local government lot standards such as covered parking or a specific number of on-lot spaces. [While H&SC §18300(9)(1) provides local governments with authority to regulate "vehicle parking", that authority is narrowly interpreted and harmonized with the preemptive nature of the MPA by allowing local government ordinances to reasonably r~quire a specified number of parking spaces within the boundaries of the park (to avoid public street parki11g), but without imposing their own specific location:] · · · "No manufactured home may be installed on a lot of less than 4000 square feet, with a minimum depth of 75 feet and a minimum width of 50 feet, at least a fifteen-foot setback from any other home,· and at least a ten-foot ~eparation between all structures on the Jot other than an attached cabana or covered patio." The MPA implicitly preempts local authority to establish lot sizes by virtue of the standards in 25 CCR sections 111 O and 1118; see also, 25 CCR · · section 1106(e); in addition, subqivision (g) of H&SC section 18300 allows local governments to. establish "density'', not lot sizes or locations. The set-back and separation requirements are expressly established by 25 CCR section 1330; in addition, by implication, local action is · precluded yvith respect to setbacks and ~eparations because, in subdivision (h)(3) of H&SC section 18300, the Legislature authorized local action in this area only for manufactured homes sited outside of mobilehome parks. · · "The sides~of the park facing a public street and the · sides facing residential construction shall have walls'high enough to block sight access of the _ roofs of the mobile homes with ivy or other permanent foliage coverage, and no mopi!ehome shall be closer than 15 feet from the wall or fence." The locality is authorized, by sul;)division (h) of H&SC section 18300, to regulate only the wall or enclosure on the public street frontage, not other sides of the park. The locality is · authorized to establish a set-back for the wall or enclosure on the public street frontage, but all other set-back and separation requirem~nts (within the boundaries of the park) are preemptively established by the MPA regulations. "Every lot in a mobilehome park shall h{1ve no more than one mobilehome and one storage shed, and foliage shall be consistent with the surrounding area."· This ordinance establishes "lot standards". When H&SC section 1 ~300 was amended in 1981, the express authority for local governments to regulate "landscaping" and establish standards for lots, yards, and park area in mobilehome parks was deleted by the Legislature, depriving local authority for this regulation under the MPA. ''All on-site utilities shall be installed unr;lerground." Utility construction requirements are preempted either by the PUC for utility-owned utilities, and/or by Title 25, CCR, which permits overhead utilities. New parks built after 1997 must have gas and electric services owned, operated, and maintained by the serving utility. See, Pubiic Utilities Code section. 2791, Title 25 CCR, section 1180(9). . ·' , .. -·· Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 160 of 163 Information Bu lletin 2008-10 Page6 "Prior to final approval of a park conver$ion, all Jots shall be surveyed to be equal in size, clearly demarcated by landscaping, an(j Jot lines approved by the Pla,nning Department shall be recorded with the County Re9order." A mobilehome park re mains a. mobilehome park before, during, and after conversion; see, H&SC section 18214, subdivision (a), which provides, ""Mobilehome park" is any area or tract of land where two or more lots are rented or leased, held out for rent or lease, o{were formerly held out for rent or lease and later converted to a subdivision, cooperative\ condominium, or other form of resident ownership ... " ( emphasis added) Thus, the preemptive provisions which applied to a park prior to, -during, and after conversion. The establishment, marking, and movement of jot nnes are governed . by Title 25, CCR, sections 1104, 1105, · 1330,. and 1428. Landscaping is riot a proper form of lot marki ng, and lot lines must either be those in existence or moved and approved pursuant to CCR section 1105. A local g9vernment may require that the final approved lot lines be those consistent with the requirements ·of Title 25, since the local government has the authority to approve final lot lin~s as Pc\rt of a subdivision approval; however, th eir location and marking must be. consistent with T~le 25. Conclusion The State Legislature, in its enactment and subsequent amendments to the Mobilehome Parks Act and the Special Occupancy Parks Act, has established clear preemptive authority with regard to state regulation of the physical construction and operational standards for mobilehome parks and recreational vehicle parks. Conversely, both expressly and impliedly, the Legislature has narrowly limited locaf government authority to legislatively mandate any activity or requirements with regard to the physical standards, physical operation, or physical status of a park. A number of local ordirµmces addr.essing park standards for construction, maintenance, operations, or conversions to subdivisions or other forms of resident ownership likely are invalid because the two state Acts preempt them.

Sincerely, ~~ KimStran~ .-- · Deputy Director ,· Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 161 of 163 Environmental Evaluation The proposed project includes 15 separate amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including the Zoning Ordinance. Given the diverse nature of the amendments, separate exemptions under CEQA are process and noticed as follows: Amendments 1 – 9 and 11 – 15: The City Planner has determined that the amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the common sense exemption, Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, since there would be no possibility of a significant effect on the environment because: • The proposed amendments do not directly or indirectly authorize or approve any actual changes in the physical environment • Certain amendments are proposed for compliance with state or federal law and the scope of city discretion is limited • Requirements that are proposed to be added or deleted are minor in nature • Certain amendments address errors, inconsistencies and terminology updates The City Planner issued a notice of intended decision with respect to the exemption. The notice was circulated to the public for a 10-day period, which began on June 7, 2022 and ended on June 22, 2022, and no appeal was filed. During the public review period, the city received no comment letters from the public regarding the prospective environmental determination. Since no appeal was filed and no substantial evidence was submitted that would support a finding that the exemption requirements would not be satisfied, the project was determined by the city planner to not have a significant effect on the environment. The city planner’s written decision is final. Amendment 10: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA, Public Resources Code section 21000 et. seq.), and its implementing regulations (the State CEQA Guidelines), Section 15168 set the criteria for use of a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for later activities to determine if an additional environmental document must be prepared. Section 15168 (c) (2) directs a Program EIR to utilize the specific process referenced in Sections 15162 through 15164 that sets forth the criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation, if any, to be completed when there is a previously adopted Negative Declaration (ND) or a previously certified EIR covering the project for which a subsequent discretionary action is required. As part of its approval of the Comprehensive General Plan Update on Sept. 22, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 2015-242, certifying EIR 13-02 and adopting Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Subsequently, on April 6, 2021 the City Council approved an update of the city’s Housing Element for the 6th cycle (2021 – 2029) by Resolution 2021-073, which included an Addendum consistent with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines to study impacts of the Goals, Policies, Sept. 13, 2022 Item #9 Page 162 of 163 Environmental Evaluation Programs and Objectives contained in the Housing Element. The Addendum and resolution are available at: 2021-04-06; City Council; Resolution 2021-073 (carlsbadca.gov) The Addendum included an evaluation of the Housing Element Goals, Policies, Programs and Objectives that will be implemented throughout the eight-year housing cycle. Amendment 10 falls under the scope of the Addendum and is internally consistent with other provisions of the code, and the land use regulations and requirements set forth in the city’s General Plan and Local Coastal Program. As these programs were considered in the April 6, 2021 Addendum, there are no cumulative impacts that have not been considered and studied, and there are no unanticipated environmental impacts or changes in circumstances. Additionally, there is no "new information of substantial importance" as that term is used in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3) and none of the triggers for a subsequent/supplemental EIR apply. Therefore, the Addendum to the EIR and certified EIR are adequate without modification. On the basis of this analysis, the City Planner has determined that there are no substantial changes proposed in the project and there are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
