Subject: Nomination of Commissioners to serve on the Growth Management Plan
Update Advisory Committee
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution (Exhibit 1) nominating two Housing Commissioners to serve on the Growth
Management Update Advisory Committee (one commissioner to serve as a primary committee
member and one commissioner to serve as an alternate member).
Executive Summary
A City Council goal for fiscal year 2021-2022 is to "engage the community through a citizens
committee to create a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an
excellent quality of life." On Sept. 28, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-223
(attached to Exhibit 2) approving the charter for the Growth Management Update Advisory
Committee.
The advisory committee will be comprised of 19 primary members and 19 alternates. Each city
commission and board are asked to nominate members to serve on the advisory committee.
The mission of the advisory committee is to promote balanced consideration of a range of
perspectives on issues affecting the future growth and quality of life in Carlsbad and to identify
the key elements of a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an
excellent quality of life while also complying with state law.
Discussion
Background
The Growth Management Plan (GMP) was established in 1986 and consists of City Council
adopted documents and a voter proposition:
•Growth Management Ordinance (attached to Exhibit 2)
•Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan (CFIP) (attached to Exhibit 2)
•Proposition E (attached to Exhibit 2)
The GMP was established to address the impacts from development on public facilities,
including a limit on the number of residential dwellings that can be built in the city. The GMP
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 1 of 187
requires that adequate public facilities are provided concurrent with development and
identifies performance standards for eleven public facilities: administration, library, wastewater
treatment, parks, drainage, circulation, fire, open space, schools, sewer collection, and water
distribution. Public facility financing was also established by the GMP through a public facility
management fee applicable to new development.
The GMP has been an important tool in providing a high quality of life by ensuring there are
adequate public facilities to serve the community as development occurs. Today, the city is 90%
built out, based on the amount of residential development pla_nned by the General Plan. The
GMP is relevant to planning public facilities for the last 10% of residential development, but not
as relevant to the built environment of the other 90%. A new plan is needed that focuses on
maintaining and enhancing quality of life for the built environment.
Recent state housing laws have suspended the ability of cities to establish or implement any
provision that limits housing development or population; therefore, the city needs to plan for
more growth than is currently planned for by the GMP. On April 6, 2021 the City Council
adopted Resolution 2021-074 (attached to Exhibit 2) that found the city's residential housing
caps in the GMP are preempted by state law and are unenforceable. Creation of a new plan to
manage growth is necessary to ensure excellent quality of life in Carlsbad, while ensuring the
city avoids state enforcement activities and penalties that may result from noncompliance with
state housing law.
Community participation in the creation of a new growth management plan is critical to the
success of the plan. A citizens committee will be an important part of community participation,
which resulted in the direction by the City Council to engage the community through a citizens
committee.
Committee Description
As described in the committee charter (attached to Exhibit 2), the committee structure will
result in a diverse and engaging discussion on how best to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way
that maintains an excellent quality of life.
•Committee's Mission
Promote balanced consideration of a range of perspectives on issues affecting the
future growth and quality of life in Carlsbad and to identify the key elements of a new
·plan to manage growth iff Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality oflife
while also complying with state law.
•Committee Members
To ensure a balanced representation of community perspectives, the committee is
comprised of a total of 19 primary members and 19 alternate members (one alternate
for each primary member). Alternate members will be encouraged to attend meetings
to listen and participate as any other member of the public; if needed would act if a
primary member is unavailable. The subjects of managing growth and quality of life are
broad topics and are important to all Carlsbad residents. The city's existing
commissions/boards address topics that affect quality of life; therefore, members of
each commission/board will participate on the committee. Also, additional residents
I Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 2 of 187
from throughout the city {from each City Council district) will help ensure all areas of the
community are represented.
•Committee Work Product
The committee's work will conclude with a committee-supported report recommending
to the City Council what should be included (key elements) in a new plan to manage
growth and achieve an excellent quality_of life while ensuring compliance with state law.
The City Council will consider the committee's recommendations and direct the next
steps to create a new growth management plan.
•Timeline
It is anticipated that the City Council will appoint members to the advisory committee in
January 2022 and the committee will begin meeting in February 2022. The committee
will meet approximately once a month for {about 10 to 12 times).
Fiscal Analysis
There is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with nomination of Housing Commissioners to
serve on an advisory committee.
Next Steps
In January 2022, staff anticipates returning to the City Council with a list of committee member
candidates for council appointment.
Environmental Evaluation
This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378{b)(S), in that nominating members to serve
on a committee does not meet CEQA's definition of a "project," because the action constitutes
organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or
indirect physical changes in the environment.
Public Notification
Public notice of this item was posted in keeping with the state's Ralph M. Brown Act and it was
available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting date.

Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the charter for the Growth Management Plan Update Advisory
Committee (Exhibit 1).
Executive Summary
A City Council goal for fiscal year 2021-2022 is to “engage the community through a citizens
committee to create a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an
excellent quality of life.” On May 4, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-100
(Exhibit 2) directing staff to initiate the process to form a citizen’s ad-hoc committee to identify
the key elements of a new plan to manage growth and maintain excellent quality of life in
Carlsbad. The resolution also directed staff to return to the City Council with a recommendation
on the committee’s formation process, potential representation, roles and responsibilities,
mission statement and principles of participation.
The City of Carlsbad has successfully used such committees in the past to solicit meaningful
public input and direction on several large-scale and complex programs and projects, including
the Growth Management Plan, the 2015 General Plan update and the Housing Element update.
Using these past experiences as a model, staff has developed a citizen’s committee structure
that will result in a diverse and engaging discussion on how best to manage growth in Carlsbad
to maintain an excellent quality of life.
Discussion
Background
The Growth Management Plan was established in 1986 and consists of City Council adopted
documents and a voter proposition:
•Growth Management Ordinance (Exhibit 3, current version)
•Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan (Exhibit 4, current version)
•Proposition E (Exhibit 5)

EXHIBIT 2
The Growth Management Plan was established to address the impacts from development on
public facilities, including a limit on the number of residential dwellings that can be built in the
city. The plan requires that adequate public facilities are provided concurrent with
development. It identifies performance standards for eleven public facilities:
•Administration
•Library
•Wastewater treatment
•Parks
•Drainage
•Circulation
•Fire
•Open space
•Schools
•Sewer collection
•Water distribution
The plan also established financing for public facilities through a public facility management fee
applicable to new development.
The Growth Management Plan has been an important tool in providing a high quality of life by
ensuring there are adequate public facilities to serve the community as development occurs.
Today, the city is 90% built out, based on the amount of residential development planned by
the General Plan. The Growth Management Plan is relevant to planning public facilities for the
last 10% of residential development, but not as relevant to the already built environment of the
other 90%. A new plan is needed that focuses on maintaining and enhancing quality of life for
the built-out environment.
Recent state housing laws have suspended the ability of cities to establish or implement any
provision that limits housing development or population. Therefore, the city needs to plan for
more growth than is currently planned for by its Growth Management Plan.
On April 6, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 2021-074 (Exhibit 6) which found the
city’s residential housing caps in the Growth Management Plan had been preempted by state
law are unenforceable. (Additional information is included in Resolution No. 2021-100, Exhibit
2). Creation of a new plan to manage growth that is in compliance with state housing law is
necessary to ensure Carlsbad’s quality of life in and to avoid state enforcement activities and
penalties that may result from noncompliance.
Community participation is critical to the success of the plan, and a citizens committee, formed
in keeping with the City Council’s direction, will be an important part of that participation.
Approach
The committee structure described below is based on the city’s past models of successful
citizen ad-hoc committees that provided meaningful public input and direction on large-scale
and complex programs and projects and is designed to will result in a diverse and engaging
discussion on how best to manage growth in Carlsbad.
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 7 of 187
Committee’s mission
The draft committee charter, Exhibit 1A, describes the committee’s role, responsibilities
and mission, which is to “promote balanced consideration of a range of perspectives on
issues affecting the future growth and quality of life in Carlsbad and to identify the key
elements of a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an
excellent quality of life while also complying with state law.”
Committee members
To gather a balanced representation of community perspectives, staff recommend that
the committee be comprised of Carlsbad residents with 15 primary members and 15
alternate members, one alternate for each primary member. Alternate members will be
encouraged to attend meetings to listen and participate as any other member of the
public. When needed, they would serve when a primary member is unavailable.
The subjects of managing growth and quality of life are broad topics and important to all
Carlsbad residents. The city’s existing commissions and boards all address topics that
affect quality of life, so staff recommend that a member of each commission or board
participate on the committee. Also, two residents from drawn from each City Council
district will help ensure all areas of the community are represented.
The committee:
• Fifteen primary members and 15 alternates
• Two members, one primary and one alternate, from each of the following city
boards and commissions:
o Arts Commission
o Beach Preservation Commission
o Historic Preservation Commission
o Housing Commission
o Library Board
o Parks and Recreation Commission
o Planning Commission
o Senior Commission
o Traffic and Mobility Commission
• Two residents (one primary and one alternate) from each City Council district:
o District 1
o District 2
o District 3
o District 4
• Four at-large residents (two primary and two alternates)
Appointment of committee members
Staff recommend the following process to appoint members to the committee:
• Each respective commission/board will nominate two commissioners/members
to serve as members of the committee (one primary and one alternate).
• The Mayor will consider and confirm the recommended nominations and
recommend four at-large residents (two primary and two alternates).
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 8 of 187
• Each council member will recommend two residents (one primary and one
alternate) from the council member’s district.
• The full City Council will make the final decision on all appointments on
commission, board and district representatives.
• From the appointed primary committee members, the Mayor will designate a
chair and vice-chair.
Committee work product
The committee’s work will conclude with a committee-supported report recommending
to the City Council the key elements of what should be included in a new plan to
manage growth and achieve an excellent quality of life while maintaining compliance
with state law. The City Council will consider the committee’s recommendations and
direct the next steps to create a new growth management plan.
Committee consultant
The city will hire a consultant to assist with the committee’s work. As directed by City
Council Resolution No. 2021-100 (Exhibit 2), staff are in the process of requesting and
subsequently reviewing proposals from consultants with expertise in municipal
planning, infrastructure planning, municipal finance, community outreach and
engagement, professional facilitation and environmental analysis. Once staff select a
recommended consultant, the City Council will be asked to consider approving a
professional services agreement for the consultant. This is expected to occur in late
2021.
Options
The following outlines options regarding number and composition of committee members.
Option 1: Form a committee with less than 15 primary members and 15 alternate members
Pros
• A 15-member committee is a large committee. Most city commissions/boards have
five to seven members; a smaller committee may be easier to support and manage.
• Fifteen alternate members adds to the number of members to coordinate with.
Cons
• Due to the broad topics of growth management and quality of life, a committee
smaller than recommended by staff could limit the ability to ensure adequate
representation of community perspectives.
Option 2: Form a committee with more than 15 primary members and 15 alternate members
Pros
• Additional committee members may broaden the perspectives represented by the
committee.
Cons
• A 15-member committee is a large committee; a larger committee will be
challenging to support and manage.
• A committee with alternates (15 or more) adds to the number of members to
coordinate with.
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 9 of 187
Option 3: Don’t include an alternate for each committee member
Pros
• A 15-member committee is a large committee. A smaller committee may be easier
to support and manage.
• It may be challenging to coordinate with 15 alternates, and to encourage them to
attend meetings to stay informed, because they cannot participate in committee
discussions or vote as a committee member unless filling in for a primary member.
• A reduced number of alternates could fill the same goal and have them fill in as
needed to maintain a quorum of 15 persons for discussions and voting.
Cons
• Without alternates, it may be difficult to achieve a quorum at each meeting, as some
primary members may not be able to attend every meeting.
Option 4: Form a committee as recommended by staff, with a different composition
Options to modify committee make up include:
Fewer commission and/or board members
Additional residents per City Council district
Use the city’s quadrants instead of City Council districts
Include additional stakeholder groups
Choose members based on additional criteria, such as age, how long they have
lived in the city, income, etc.
Pros
• Additional committee members or stakeholders may broaden the perspectives
represented by the committee.
• Different distributions could achieve the same goal.
Cons
• Committee recommendation is intended to obtain a balance of broad perspectives
from existing committees and distribution of residents from City Council districts
• Growth Management Plan standards are based upon the city’s four geographic
quadrants; using City Council districts could result in a geographic quadrant of the
city not being represented on the committee.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with approval of a committee charter and
soliciting committee member applications. In a future action related to the committee, staff will
ask the City Council will be asked to approve a professional services agreement for the
committee consultant. Funding for consultant services has previously been authorized by City
Council Resolution No. 2021-100 (Exhibit 2), which authorized the use of $350,000 of the
general fund balance for consultant costs associated with the committee.
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 10 of 187
Next Steps
Solicitation of committee applications
Following direction from the City Council, city staff will initiate the solicitation of committee
applications from residents in each City Council district and will request each city
commission and board (as described in the committee charter, Exhibit 1A) to nominate a
commissioner or board member to serve on the Growth Management Plan Update Advisory
Committee. In December 2021, staff anticipate returning to the City Council with a list of
committee member candidates for council appointment (again, as described in the
committee charter, Exhibit 1A).
Requests for proposals
Staff are currently in the process of requesting and subsequently reviewing consultant
proposals to assist with the committee’s work. Staff anticipate returning to the City Council
in December 2021 with a professional services agreement for the council’s consideration.
Environmental Evaluation
This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act in
accordance with Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that amending the enabling legislation of a
citizens committee does not meet the definition of a “project.” The action constitutes
organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or
indirect physical changes in the environment.

The Chair will ensure that committee meetings are conducted fairly and efficiently, that proper
order and mutual respect among all participants is maintained, that there is full participation
during meetings, that all relevant matters are discussed, that all committee members have an
opportunity to participate in committee discussions, and that necessary decisions are made. To
the extent reasonable, the Chair will seek consensus of the committee in decision-making. In

Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 16 of 187
Growth Management Plan Update Advisory Committee Charter
Mission Statement and Principles of Participation
Page4
vacancy, at their next scheduled meeting, the committee will consider whether to recommend
that the Mayor and City Council fill the vacated position.
Meeting Quorum
For meeting purposes, a quorum of the committee is met with eight members in attendance.
Open Meeting Requirements
All committee meetings and committee members are subject to the open meeting
requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act). The Brown Act imposes public notice and
access requirements on committee meetings, and places certain limitations on when and how
committee members may communicate with one another. New committee members will be
given a briefing by the City Attorney's office about the basic requirements of the Brown Act.
Meeting Agendas
Meeting agendas will be prepared by city staff in consultation with the Chairperson or a
majority of the committee, following the procedures of the Brown Act. At the conclusion of
each meeting, the Chc;1ir and city staff will summarize the results and identify items that may
need further research or be carried over to the next meeting, preview new business for the
upcoming meeting, and invite committee members to suggest new items for future
meetings. Agendas for future meetings will be established by consensus of the committee with
concurrence of the Chair and city staff.
Members of the public have a right to attend committee meetings and will have an opportunity
to address the committee on any issue under its purview. Agendas will include time for public
comment.
External Communications
The overriding consideration in all communications is to honor and sustain the constructive,
collaborative process of the committee. Committee members are encouraged to communicate
w ith their constituencies in order to keep them informed of the committee's mission and
meeting agendas, and to encourage direct participation. Should committee members speak to
the media, members are encouraged to provide accurate, factual information, but are asked to
refrain from engaging in speculation, advocating a position on a specific issue, speaking on
behalf of the committee (except for the Chair or unless authorized by the committee to do so),
or otherwise making public statements that would tend to hamper constructive committee
discussions. Committee members are asked to notify city staff of any media contact related to
the committee and its work. City staff will be available to assist in any communications to the
media, if desired.

Information Sharing
In order to ensure all committee members have the same information available to them, all
documents will be distributed through city staff. If a member has information he or she would
like to share with other committee members, the information should be given to staff for
distribution to the entire committee. Maintaining this flow of information will facilitate a
respectful, collaborative process, and help avoid unintended violations of open meeting laws
(e.g., serial meetings).
Work Products
The committee will be responsible for reviewing work product and providing feedback to staff
and consultants. The committee is expected to focus on input, review, and "buy-in" to carry
out the committee's mission, rather than deliberating on precise details. The committee's work
will conclude with a committee-supported report recommending to t he City Council what
should be included (key elements) in a new plan to manage growth and achieve an excellent
quality of life while ensuring compliance with state law. The City Council will consider the
committee's recommendations and direct the next steps to create a new growth management
plan.

RESOLUTION NO, 2021-100
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE WORK PLAN AND AUTHORIZING THE USE OF
GENERAL FUND RESERVES TO ACHIEVE THE CITY COUNCIL'S FISCAL YEAR
2021-2022 GOAL TO "ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A CITIZENS
COMMITTEE TO CREATE A NEW PLAN TO MANAGE GROWTH IN CARLSBAD
IN A WAY THAT MAINTAINS AN EXCELLENT QUALITY OF LIFE"
WHEREAS, in 1986 the voters of the City of Carlsbad, California adopted Proposition E, which
has become known as the Growth Management Plan (GMP); and
WHEREAS, the GMP amended the city's General Plan and municipal code by setting forth
growth control measures on housing development and establishing performance standards for
certain public facilities including city administration, library, wastewater treatment capacity, parks,
drainage, circulation, fire, open space, schools, sewer collection, and water distribution, which
ensured that all necessary public facilities were adequate and available concurrent with need to serve
new development; and
WHEREAS, the residential growth control measures established quadrant caps (15,370 units in
the northwest quadrant; 9,042 units in the northeast quadrant; 12,895 units in the southwest
quadrant; and, 17,328 units in the southeast quadrant) and a citywide unit cap (54,599 units); and
WHEREAS, as of March 2021 the city has built or entitled (approved development projects
that have not yet been constructed) 14,953 units in the northwest quadrant; 8,940 units in the north
northeast quadrant; 11,732 units in the southwest quadrant; 17,021 units in the southeast quadrant;
and 52,646 units citywide; and
WHEREAS, California has been experiencing an increasing housing shortage, such that by
2018, California ranked 49th among the United States in housing units per resident. This shortage has
been estimated to be 3-4 million housing units (20-30% of California's housing stock, 14 million as of
2017). Experts say that California needs to double its current rate of housing production (85,000 units
per year) to keep up with expected population growth and prevent prices from further increasing and
needs to quadruple the current rate of housing production over the next seven years in order for
prices and rents to decline; and

WHEREAS, in response to this housing crisis, the state legislature has adopted a series of
housing related bills over recent years to increase housing production. These changes limit the city's
ability to fully implement the Growth Management Plan; and
WHEREAS, one of the laws passed by the California Legislature was the Residential Density and
Affordability Act of 2017 (SB 166), which amended the Housing Element law to require the city to
ensure that its Housing Element is capable of accommodating the remaining Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RI-INA) "at all times (Gov. Code § 65863(a);" and
WHEREAS, another law passed by the California Legislature was the Housing Crisis Act of 2019
(SB 330), which added Section 66300 to the Government Code. It states that California is experiencing
a housing shortage crisis of historic proportions. To address the crisis, the Legislature has declared a
statewide housing emergency until 2025 and suspended certain restrictions on development of new
housing during the emergency. Among other things, the Legislature, under Government Code Section
66300 (b)(1)(D), has suspended the ability of cities to establish or implement any provision that:
* Limits the number of land use approvals or permits necessary for the approval and
construction of housing that will be issued or allocated within all or a portion of the
city,
8 Acts as a cap on the number of housing units that can be approved or constructed
either annually or for some other time period, or
•Limits the population of the city; and
WHEREAS, for the sixth housing cycle (2021-2029), the State Department of Housing and
Community Development, via the San Diego Association of Governments, assigned the city a total of
3,873 housing units to be created in Carlsbad during this upcoming eight-year housing period, of
which 2,195 must be reserved for households in the low- and very low-income category; and
WHEREAS, in order to accommodate these housing units, its anticipated that one or more of
the Growth Management Plan quadrant caps will be exceeded, and likely the citywide cap; and
WHEREAS, the City Council sees a need to engage the community through a citizens committee
to initiate discussions regarding what should be included in the development of a new plan to manage
future growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality of life while also complying with
state law; and
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 20 of 187
WHEREAS, initiating work to develop a new plan to manage future growth will achieve savings
by enabling the city to avoid future state enforcement activities and penalties that may result from
non-compliance with state housing law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as
follows:
1. The above recitations are true and correct.
2, The City Council directs staff to initiate the process to form a citizen's ad-hoc committee
as described in the work plan (Attachment A) and return with recommendations on the
committee formation process, potential representation, roles and responsibilities, and
draft mission statement and principles of participation for City Council consideration.
3.The City Council finds that the one-time opportunity cost of $350,000 associated with
the work described in the work plan will achieve savings by enabling the city to avoid
future state enforcement activities and penalties that may result from non-compliance
with state housing law.
4.The Deputy City Manager, Administrative Services is authorized to assign $350,000 of
the unassigned General Fund reserve balance at fiscal year-end 2020-21 to pay for one-
time anticipated consultant costs associated with the citizens committee as described
in the work plan (Attachment A).
5.The City Manager is authorized to include this $350,000 one-time opportunity cost in
the city's FY 2021-22 Preliminary Operating Budget.

21 .90.010 Purpose and intent.
(a) It is the policy of the city to:
(1) Provide quality housing opportunities for all economic sectors of the community;
(2) Provide a balanced community with adequate commercial, industrial, recreational and open
space areas to support the residential areas of the city;
(3) To implement the provisions of Proposition E adopted by the citizens of Carlsbad on November 4,
1986, to require that public facilities and improvements meeting city standards are available con-
currently with the need created by new developments and to limit the number of residential dwell-
ing units which can be approved or constructed in the city;
(4) Balance the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of Carlsbad residents
and available fiscal and environmental resources;
(5) Encourage infill development in urbanized areas before allowing extensions of public facilities and
improvements to areas which have yet to be urbanized;
(6) Ensure that all development is consistent with the Carlsbad general plan;
1105
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 24 of 187
21.90.020
(7) Prevent growth unless adequate public facilities and improvements are provided in a phased and
logical fashion as required by the general plan;
(8) Control of the timing and location of development by tying the pace of development to the provi-
sion of public facilities and improvements at the times established by the city-wide facilities and
improvements plan.
(b) The city council of the city has determined despite previous city council actions, including but not lim-
ited to, amendments to the land use, housing, and parks and recreation elements of the general plan,
amendments to city council Policy No. 17, adoption of traffic impact fees, and modification of park
dedication and improvement requirements, that the demand for facilities and improvements has out-
paced the supply resulting in shortages in public facilities and improvements, including , but not limited
to, streets, parks, open space, schools, libraries, drainage facilities and general governmental facilities.
The city council has further determined that these shortages are detrimental to the public health, safety
and welfare of the citizens of Carlsbad.
(c) This chapter is adopted to ensure the implementation of the policies stated in subsection (a), to elimi-
nate the shortages identified in subsection (b), to ensure that no development occurs without providing
for adequate facilities and improvements, to regulate the pace of development thereby ensuring a con-
tinued supply of housing over a period of years and to continue the quality of life for all economic sec-
tors of the Carlsbad community.
(d) This chapter will further the policies, goals and objectives established herein by requiring identification
of all public facilities and improvements required for development, by prohibiting development until
adequate provisions for the public facilities and improvements are made by developers of projects
within the city, and by giving development priority to areas of the city where public facilities and im-
provements are already in place (infill areas).
(e) This chapter replaces the temporary moratorium on processing and approval of development projects
imposed by City Council Ordinance No. 9791. (Ord. 9829 § 1, 1987; Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)

21.90.040 Compliance with this chapter.
(a) No development permit shall be approved unless the approving authority finds that the permit is con-
sistent with the city-wide facilities and improvements plan and the applicable local facilities manage-
ment plan. To ensure consistency the approving authority may impose any condition to the approval
necessary to implement the plans.
(b) No building permit shall be issued unless the fees required by this chapter, and any applicable local

fare by ensuring that public facilities and improvements will be installed to serve new development prior
to or concurrently with need. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
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 Manaqement Control Point
RL 0-1.5 1.0
RLM 0-4.0 3.2
RM4.0-8.0 6.0
RMH 8.0-15.0 11.5
RH 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 con-
structed concurrently with the need for them created by this development and in compliance with the
adopted city standards.

21.90.050
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 re-
quired by Proposition E adopted November 4, 1986. (Ord . CS-206 § 11, 2013; Ord. 9829 § 2, 1987)
21.90.050 Establishment of local facilities management fee.
(a) A local facilities management fee is established to pay for improvements or facilities identified in a local
facilities management plan which are related to new development within the zone and are not other-
wise financed by any other fee, charge or tax on development, or are not installed by a developer as a
condition of a building permit or development permit. The fee may also be used to pay for that portion
of the facilities or improvements identified in the city-wide facilities and improvements plan attributed to
development within the local zone which are not financed by other means. The facilities management
fee shall be paid before the issuance of a building permit. The amount of the fee shall be determined
based upon the estimated cost of the facility or improvement designated as necessary to accommo-
date additional development within the applicable local facilities management zone plus the estimated
cost of facilities and improvements identified in the city-wide facilities and improvement plan attribut-
able to the local zone. The fee shall be fairly apportioned among the new development.
(b) The fee required by this section is in addition to any other means of financing facilities or improvements
identified by a local facilities management plan or any other tax, fee, charge or improvement require-
ment which may be imposed on the development of property under the provisions of state law, this
code or city council policy.
(c) The amount of the fee for a local facilities management zone shall be set by city council resolution after
a public hearing, published notice of which shall be given according to Section 21.54.060.A.2 and
Government Code Section 54992.
(d) As a condition of any building or development permit application submitted after the effective date of
this chapter the applicant shall agree to pay the fee established by this section at the time a building
permit is issued.
(e) The fee established by this section shall be levied at the time of issuance of a building permit. (Ord.
CS-178 § CXXV, 2012; Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.060 Special provisions for building permits issued during temporary moratorium.
Applicants for projects for which building permits were issued after January 21 , 1986, and before July 20,
1986, shall pay the fee established by Section 21.90.050 within thirty days after the amount of the fee is de-
termined by the city council. Payment shall be made according to the agreement executed by the applicant
pursuant to Section 3 of Ordinance No. 9791. (Ord . 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.070 Finding of health, safety and welfare necessary for the fees imposed by Sections
21.90.050 and 21.90.060.
(a) The city council declares that payment of the fee established and imposed by Sections 21.90.050 and
21.90.060 and installation of the facilities and improvements identified in a facilities management plan
are necessary to achieve the policies established in Section 21.90.010 and to implement the city's
general plan. If the fees are not paid or the facilities or improvements are not installed the public health,
safety and welfare will suffer because there will be insufficient facilities and improvements to accom-
modate any new development. This finding is based upon City Council Policy No. 17, City Council Or-
dinance No. 9791, and the evidence presented at the public hearings on the ordinance adopting this
chapter.
(b) If any condition imposed as a condition of a development permit or building permit pursuant to this
chapter is protested then the permit shall be suspended during the period of the protest.
(c) This section is adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.5. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)

21.90.080 Performance standard.
The city council shall adopt general performance standards for each facility or improvement listed in Section
21.90.090(b) or 21.90.110(c). Specific performance standards for city-wide facilities shall be adopted as part
of the city-wide facilities and improvement plan. Specific performance standards for each zone shall be
adopted as part of the local facilities management plan. If at any time after preparation of a local facilities
management plan the performance standards established by a plan are not met then no development per-
mits or building permits shall be issued within the local zone until the performance standard is met or ar-
rangements satisfactory to the city council guaranteeing the facilities and improvements have been made.
(Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.090 City-wide facilities and improvements plan.
(a) To implement the city's general plan by securing provision of facilities and improvements, and to en-
sure that development does not occur unless facilities and improvements are available, the city council
shall adopt by resolution a city-wide facilities and improvements plan. The plan shall: Identify all facili-
ties and improvements necessary to accommodate the land uses specified in the general plan and by
the zoning; specify size, capacity and service level performance standards for the identified facilities
and improvements; establish specific time tables for acquisition, installation and operation of the facili-
ties and improvements correlated to projected population growth, facility and improvement perform-
ance standards, and projected nonresidential development; identify the financing method or methods
for each facility and improvement; and establish a facility and improvement budget for those facilities or
improvements which will be constructed or financed by the city. The plan shall encourage infill devel-
opment and reduce the growth-inducing impact of premature extension of facilities or improvements to
undeveloped areas by establishing priorities for facility and improvement installation or financing .
(b) The city-wide facilities and improvement plan shall show how and when the following facilities and im-
provements will be installed or financed as specified in subsection (c):
(1) Major sewage transmission systems and sewage treatment plants;
(2) Major water transmission lines;
(3) Major area-wide drainage facilities;
(4) Prime and major arterials; freeway interchanges, bridges or overcrossings;
(5) Fire facilities;
(6) Governmental administration facilities;
(7) Parks and other recreational facilities;
(8) Libraries.
(c) The plan shall include the following information with regard to each facility and improvement listed in
subsection (b ):
(1) An inventory of present and future requirements for each facility and improvement based upon
the performance standard established for each facility and improvement. Cost estimates shall be
included. The inventory shall be consistent with the general plan and zoning for the area;
(2) A phasing schedule establishing the timing for installation or provisions of facilities or improve-
ments in relationship to the amount of development activity (e.g. number of dwelling units, num-
ber of square feet of commercial space within the service area of the facility or improvement) and
the facility and improvement performance standards;
(3) A financing plan establishing various methods of funding the facilities and improvements identi-
fied in the plan. The plan shall identify those facilities and improvements which would otherwise
be provided as a requirement of processing a development project (i.e. requirements imposed as
a condition of a development permit) or provided by the developer in order to establish consis-
tency with the general plan or Titles 18, 20 or 21 of this code, and those facilities and improve-

ments for which new funding methods which shall be sufficient to ensure sufficient funds are
available to construct or provide facilities or improvements when required by the phasing sched-
ule.
(d) The city manager shall prepare and present the plan to the city council not later than one year from the
effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter.
(e) Amendments to this city-wide facilities and improvements plan shall be initiated by action of the plan-
ning commission or city council. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.100 Local facilities· management zones.
(a) The city council shall divide the city into facilities management zones.
(b) The boundaries of the zones shall be established based upon logical facilities and improvements plan-
ning, construction and service relationships to ensure the economically efficient and timely installation
of required facilities and improvements. In establishing zone boundaries the city council shall also be
guided by the following considerations:
(1) Service areas or drainage basins;
(2) Extent to which facilities or improvements are in place or available;
(3) Ownership of property;
(4) Boundaries of existing zoning master plans;
(5) Boundaries of pending zoning master plans;
(6) Boundaries of potential future zoning master plan areas;
(7) Boundaries of approved tentative maps;
(8) Public facilities relationships, especially the relationship to the city's planned major circulation net-
work;
(9) Special district service territories;
(10) Approved fire, drainage, sewer, or other facilities or improvement master plans.
(c) The zones shall be established by resolution after a public hearing notice of which is given pursuant to
Section 21.54.060.A.2 of this code. (Ord. CS-178 § CXXVI, 2012; Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.110 Contents of local facility management plans.
(a) A local facilities management plan shall be prepared for each facility zone and shall cover the entire
zone.
(b) The plan shall consist of maps, graphs, tables and narrative text and shall be based upon the general
plan and zoning applicable within the local zone at the time of plan approval. The local facilities man-
agement plan shall be consistent with the city-wide facilities and improvements plan and shall imple-
ment the city-wide facilities and improvements plan within the zone.
(c) The facilities management plan shall show how and when the following facilities and improvements
necessary to accommodate development within the zone will be installed or financed as specified in
subsection (d):
( 1) Sewer systems;
(2) Water;
(3) Drainage;
(4) Circulation;
(5) Fire facilities;
(6) Schools;
1113
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 32 of 187
21.90.120
(7) Parks and other recreational facilities;
(8) Open space.
(d) The plan shall be consistent with and implement the city-wide facilities management plan and general
plan and shall include the following information with regard to each facility and improvement listed in
subsection (c):
(1) An inventory of present and future requirements for each facility and improvement based upon
the performance standard established for each facility. Because improvement requirements for
certain facilities and improvements may overlap zone boundaries a discussion of the need for co-
ordination and a proposed coordination plan for facilities extending from one zone to another shall
be included. Cost estimates shall be included . It must be shown that development in the zone will
not reduce the facilities or improvements capabilities or create facilities or improvements short-
ages in other zones or reduce service capability in any zone below the performance standard
which is established pursuant to Section 21 .90 .080. The growth-inducing impact of the out-of-
zone improvements shall be assessed.
(2) A phasing schedule establishing the timing for installation or provisions of facilities or improve-
ments in relationship to the amount of development activity (e.g. number of dwelling units, num-
ber of square feet of commercial space, etc.) for the facilities management zone. The phasing
schedule shall ensure the development of one area of the zone will not utilize more than the
area's pro rata share of facility or improvement capacity within that zone unless sufficient capacity
is ensured for other areas of the zone at the time of the first development. The phasing schedule
shall include a schedule of development within the zone and a market data and cash flow analy-
sis for financing of facilities and improvements for the zone. The phasing schedule shall identify
periods where the demand for facilities and improvements may exceed the capacity and provide
a plan for eliminating the shortfall. In those situations when demand exceeds capacity and it is not
feasible to increase the capacity prior to development, no development shall occur unless a time
schedule for and a means of increasing the capacity is established in the plan.
(3) A financing plan establishing various methods of funding the facilities and improvements identi-
fied in the plan fairly allocating the cost to the various properties within the zone. The plan shall
identify those facilities and improvements which would otherwise be provided as a requirement of
processing a development project (i.e. requirements imposed as a condition of a development
permit) or provided by the developer in order to establish consistency with the general plan or Ti-
tles 18, 20 or 21 of this code, and those facilities and improvements for which new funding meth-
ods which shall be sufficient to ensure sufficient funds are available to construct or provide facili-
ties or improvements when required by the phasing schedule. Where facilities or improvements
are required for more than one zone, the phasing plan shall identify those other zones and the
plan for each zone shall be coordinated. Coordination, however, shall not require identical funding
methods.
(4) A list or schedule of facilities requirements correlated to individual development projects within
the zone.
(e) The local facilities management plan shall establish the proportionate share of the cost of facilities and
improvements identified in the city-wide facilities and improvement plan attributable to development of
property on the local facilities management zone. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.120 Local facilities management plan preparation.
(a) A local facilities management plan may be prepared by the city or by the property owners within the
zone according to the procedures established by this section.
(b) The city council, upon its own initiative, may by resolution direct the city manager to prepare a facilities
management plan for any zone. The city council may assess the cost of preparing the plan to the own-

ers within the zone after a hearing ten days written notice of which is given to the property owners
within the zone. The cost shall be spread pro rata according to acreage and development potential.
All owners within the zone may jointly submit a facilities management plan.
For zones in which joint submission of a facilities management plan is shown to be not feasible any
owner or group of cooperating owners within the zone may petition the city council to allow the owner
or group of owners to prepare the plan. After a meeting for which ten days' prior written notice has
been given to the property owners within the zone, the city council may permit the owner or group of
owners to prepare and submit the plan. A limit based on the estimated cost of the plan shall be deter-
mined at the time of the hearing. The actual cost shall be determined when the plan is adopted and
shall be assessed pro rata based on acreage and development potential to property within the facilities
management zone. The assessment shall be collected by the city at the time any application for a de-
velopment project within the zone is submitted. The owner or owners who prepared the plan shall be
reimbursed for the cost of the plan less the owner's or owners' pro rata share. No reimbursement shall
be made unless the plan is approved. Cost of preparation shall not include interest.
As an option to preparation by the owner or group of owners as provided in subsection (d), the city
council may decide to direct the city manager to prepare the facilities management plan. The cost of
preparation shall be advanced to the city by the requesting owner or owners, assessed to all the own-
ers and reimbursed as provided in subsection (d). (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.125 Facilities management plan processing.
(a) Facilities management plans shall be reviewed according to the following procedure:
(1) A completed facilities management plan complying with this chapter, and accompanied by a
processing fee submitted to the planning director for processing. If the planning director deter-
mines that the plan complies with the provisions of Section 21 .90.110 the director shall set a fa-
cilities management plan for public hearing before the planning commission within sixty days of
receipt of a complete application.
(2) The hearing shall be noticed according to the provisions of Section 21.54.060.A.2. A staff report
containing recommendation on the plan shall be prepared and furnished to the public, the appli-
cant, and the planning commission prior to the hearing.
(3) The planning commission shall hear and consider the application for a facilities management plan
and shall by resolution prepare recommendations and findings for the city council. The action of
the commission shall be filed with the city clerk, and a copy shall be mailed to the owners within
the facility zone.
(4) When the planning commission action is filed with the city clerk, the clerk shall set the matter for
public hearing before the city council. The hearing shall be noticed according to the provisions of
Section 21 .54.060.A.2.
(5) The city council shall hear the matter, and after considering the findings and recommendations of
the planning commission, may approve, conditionally approve or deny a facilities management
plan. The city council may include in the resolution adopting the facilities management plan any
fees or facilities improvement requirements which it deems necessary to impose on development
projects within the zone in order to implement the city-wide facilities and improvement plan and
the local facilities management plan.
(b) A facilities management plan may be amended following the same procedures for the original adop-
tion.
( c) A local facilities management plan shall be considered a project for the purposes of Title 19 of this
code. Environmental documents should be processed concurrently with the plan. (Ord. CS-178 §
CXXVII, 2012; Ord. CS-164 § 10, 2011 ; Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)

21.90.130 Implementation of facilities and improvements requirements.
(a) To ensure that the provisions of this chapter and the general plan are met, the following shall apply:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter no development permit shall be approved unless the
map or permit is consistent with the local facilities management plan and unless provision for all
facilities and improvements related to the development project are provided or funded.
(2) No building permit shall be issued unless all applicable fees, including, but not limited to, public
facilities fees, bridge and thoroughfare fees, traffic impact fees, facilities management fees,
school fees, park-in-lieu fees, sewer fees, water fees, or other development fees identified in the
city-wide facilities and improvements plan and local facilities management plan and adopted by
the city council have first been paid or provision for their payment has been made to the satisfac-
tion of the city council.
(b) The city-wide facilities and improvement plan and the local facility management plan process is part of
the city's ongoing planning effort. It is anticipated that amendments to the plans may be necessary.
Adoption of a facilities management plan does not establish any entitlement or right to any particular
general plan or zoning designation or any particular development proposal. The city-wide facilities and
improvements plan and the local facilities management plans are guides to ensure that no develop-
ment occurs unless adequate facilities or improvements will be available to meet demands created by
development. The city council may initiate an amendment to any of the plans at any time if in its discre-
tion it determines that an amendment is necessary to ensure adequate facilities and improvements.
(c) If at any time it appears to the satisfaction of the city manager that facilities or improvements within a
facilities management zone or zones are inadequate to accommodate any further development within
that zone or that the performance standards adopted pursuant to Section 21.90.100 are not being met
he or she shall immediately report the deficiency to the council. If the council determines that a defi-
ciency exists then no further building or development permits shall be issued within the affected zone
or zones and development shall cease until an amendment to the city-wide facilities and improvements
plan or applicable local facilities management plan which addresses the deficiency is approved by the
city council and the performance standard is met.
(d) The city planner shall monitor the development activity for each local facilities management zone and
shall prepare an annual report to the city council consisting of maps, graphs, charts, tables and text
and which includes a developmental activity analysis, a facilities and improvements adequacy analysis,
a facility revenue/expenditure analysis and recommendation for any amendments to the facilities man-
agement plan. The content of the annual report shall be established by the city council.
(e) The city council shall annually review the city-wide facilities and improvements plan at the time it con-
siders the city's capital improvement budget. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.140 Obligation to pay fees or install improvements required by any other law.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as relieving a builder, developer or subdivider from any public im-
provement requirement, dedication requirement or fee requirement which is imposed pursuant to Titles 13,
18, 20 or 21 of this code or pursuant to any city council policy. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.150 Implementing guidelines.
The city council may adopt any guidelines it deems necessary to implement this chapter. (Ord. 9808 § 1,
1986)
21.90.160 Exclusions.
(a) Development proposals which consist of facilities, or structures constructed by a city, county, special
district, state, or federal government or any agency, department, or subsidiary thereof for governmental
purposes are excluded from the provisions of this chapter. This exclusion shall not apply to develop-
ment proposals to which a possessory interest tax would be applicable.

21.90.170
(b) Tentative maps the application for which was accepted before August 6, 1985, may be approved with-
out complying with the plans adopted pursuant to this chapter but any other development permits or
building permits for the project shall be subject to the requirements of the plans. The tentative map
shall be subject to Section 21 .90.030. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.170 Council actions, fees, notice.
(a) Whenever this chapter requires or permits an action or decision of the city council, that action or deci-
sion shall be accomplished by a resolution.
(b) The city council shall establish application and processing fees for the submission and processing of
facilities management plans and for any other request made under Sections 21.90.100, 21 .90.120 or
21.90.140.
(c) Whenever written notice is required to be given to property owners under this section the notice shall
be mailed by first class mail to the owners shown on the last equalized assessment roll. (Ord. 9808 §
1, 1986)
21.90.180 Public facility reductions.
Notwithstanding any previous sections of this chapter, the city council shall not materially reduce or delete
any public facilities or improvements without making a corresponding reduction in residential density unless
such a reduction or deletion of public facilities is ratified by a vote of the citizens of Carlsbad. (Ord. 9829 § 4,
1987)
21.90.185 Residential dwelling unit caps.
Notwithstanding any previous sections of this chapter, the number of residential dwellings to be approved or
constructed after November 4, 1986, shall not exceed the following: Northwest quadrant 5,844; Northeast
quadrant 6,166; Southwest quadrant 10,667; Southeast quadrant 10,801, without an affirmative vote of the
citizens of Carlsbad. (Ord. 9829 § 4, 1987)
21.90.190 Severability.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of the ordinance codified in this chapter is for any
reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such de-
cision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the ordinance codified in this chapter. The city
council declares that it would have passed the ordinance codified in this chapter and each section, subsec-
tion, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any part thereof be declared invalid or
unconstitutional. (Ord. 9808 § 1, 1986)
21.90.195 Fee deferral.
Notwithstanding anything in this chapter and any resolution of the city council to the contrary, all fees subject
to this chapter for any residential development that consists of five or more dwelling units and all new com-
mercial, office, and industrial buildings or building additions shall only be paid prior to building permit issu-
ance, or, at the request of the applicant, deferred until all work required for final inspection has been com-
pleted and all department approvals required for final inspection have been obtained by the applicant.
The amount of the fees shall be based on the fees in effect at the time of the request for the final inspection,
not the time of building permit issuance.
In the event that the city, for any reason, fails to collect any or all fees prior to final inspection, such fees
shall remain the obligation of the developer and/or the property owner. (Ord. CS-271 § V, 2015; Ord. CS-
200 § V, 2013)

SECTION I. OVER VIEW
The Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan will implement the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance by ensuring that development does not occur unless adequate public facilities and services exist or will be provided concurrent with new development. The preparation of the Citywide Plan is the first phase in the implementation process of the City's Growth Management Ordinance which was adopted by Ordinance No. 9810 on July 1, 1986 by the Carlsbad City Council. Once the Citywide Plan is adopted, a Local Facility Management Plan will be required for each of the 25 local zones into which the City has been divided. This must be done before any additional development is allowed in any one of the zones. Then, when individual development projects are considered, a public facilities adequacy analysis will be provided as part of the report on the project to ensure that it is consistent with both the Citywide and Local Zone Plan.
SECTION 11. CONTENTS OF THE CITYWIDE FACILITIES
ANO IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
The Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan consists of the following:
1. Identification of the existing level of development in the City and a projection of the ultimate future buildout based upon recent controls placed upon development as specified in the General Plan and by the zoning.
2. Identification of all current and future public facilities and improvements necessary to accommodate �xisting and buildout demands for the land uses sp ecified in the General Plan and by the zoning.
3. Establishment of ongoing servic� level requirements for public facilities through the adoption of sp ecific performance standards for each of the following public facilities and improvements:
a) City Administrative Facilities
b) Library
c) Wastewater Treatment Capacity
d) Parks
e) Drainage
f) Circulation
g) Fire
-1-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 42 of 187
h) Open Space
i) Schools
j) Sewer Collection System
k) Water Distribution System
4. Establishment of specific boundaries for ea ch of th e 25 Local Facility Management Zones and adoption of guidelines for the preparation of plans for the local zones. The local plans will specifically address the timing and financing of public facilities.
5. Identification of the potential financing method, or methods, for each public facility and improvement.
6. Establishment of an informational data based sy stem to:
A) project demand for public facilities and improvements, B) aid in the preparation of Local Facility Management Plans, and C) provide a mechanism to monitor the adequacy of public facilities on an ongoing basis.
The purpose of the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan is to assure the elimination of the shortages of public facilities identified by the City Council to be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Carlsbad. Through the accomplishment of those tasks outlined above, the City will be able to ensure adequate public facilities and improvements or it will halt development until provisions have been made to correct these inadequacies.
Again, the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan is the first phase in the implementation of the City's overall Growth Management Ordinance and it is intended to provide the framework necessary to allow more detailed phasing and financing plans to be accepted in the form of Local Facility Management Zone Plans.

SECTION 111. REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCAL FACILITY
MANAGEMENT PLANS RELATIONSHIP
TO THE CIT Y Vi l DE FA CI LIT re S A ND
IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
As part of the overall Growth Management Program the City was broken down into 2'5" Local Facility Management Zones (See Figure 1). �he boundaries for each of the 25 Local Facility Management zones were established based upon logical facilities and improvements planning, construction and service relationships to ensure the economically efficient and timely installation of required public facilities and improvements. After the adoption of the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan and prior to any development occurring in any of these zones, a Local Facility Management Plan must be submitted and approved. The plan must be consistent with all aspects of the Citywide Facilities Improvements Plan and shall implement the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan within the Zone. It must ensure that each public facility and improvement meets the adopted performance standard prior to allowing any development.

The preparation and submittal of the Local Facility Management Plan is the second phase in the implementation process of the City's Growth Management Ordinance. The local plan takes the Citywide plan and provides a more detailed description and analysis of how the City will develop from its current status on to ultimate buildout. The local plan will show how and when ea ch facility and improvement will be constructed in order to accommod ate development within the zone (phasing). It will also provide a complete description of how each facility and improvement will be financed. Figure 2 shows conceptually the relationship between the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan and the Local Facility Management Plan.

SECTION IV. BUILD OUT ASSUMPTIONS AND PROJECTIONS
I� order to adequately assess and plan for Citywide public facilities and services, it was necessary to project the level of development that can be anticipated to the ultimate buildout of the City. These projections take into consideration recentordinances adopted by the City which reduce residential density and restrict the overall future intensity of development throughout the City.
The process used to estimate the total number of dwelling units in the City at ultimate buildout is relatively straightforward. Using the City's General Plan map as a basis, all of the land uses shown were entered into a computer by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) using a process known as •digitizing.• The computer converted this digitized information into gross acres for each land use designation. Environmentally constrained areas, beaches, wetlands, floodways, ot her water bodies, riparian and woodland habitats, were also digitized and converted into acreage figures in the same way. Other constrained areas included slopes greater than 25 percent, major roadways, railroad tracks, and major power line easements. Th e primary sources used in identifying these areas included previous environmental impact reports prepared for projects throughout the City and a Citywide slope analysis map. To obtain net developable acres, all of the 100 percent constrained acres and one-half of the areas shown as 25-40 percent slopes were subtracted from the gross acreage figure for each land use category. In this way, ,a net developable acreage figure could be established for the overall City, for each quadrant of the City, and for each of the 25 Local Facility Management Zones.
The net developable acreage figure was then multiplied by the number of dwelling units allowed per acre using the City's •control Yield• density ranges, which are listed below:
Residential Land Use
RL RLM RM RMH RH
Control Yield
1 • 0 3.2 6.0
11 • 5
1 9 • 0
The Control Yield densities represent either the midpoint of the City's adopted density ranges or actual experience using existing developments within each land use category.
By applying the Control Yield densities to the net developable acreage figures, an estimate of the total number of dwelling units at full buildout can be derived. To carry the process one step further, the per capita household size data provided by the
-5-

state Department of Finance can be used population. The data indicate that the average household size of �--4-�� persons 2.3178
to estimate buildout City of Carlsbad had an on .:ra-n"CJ'"ltt'Y-1,--1-�'8-ti • April 22, 1997
The same type of calculations were used to estimate the total number of sq uare feet of industrial and commercial land uses at buildout. Rowever, instead of residential density ranges, a set of assumptions regarding site coverage for industrial and commercial development was applied to the net developable acreage figures. It was assumed that every net developable acre of industrial/commercial, would reRult in a maximum square footage yield of 40%.
The methodology described in the previous paragraphs was used to provide a basis for determining the amount and types of public facilities that will be needed to adequately serve the City at buildout. However, it has a number of acknowledged shortcomings. For example, the digitizing process itself is not 100 percent accurate, and when applied to small geographical areas, such as Local Facility Management Zones, some inaccuracies can occur. A much more accurate means of providing t�e same information would be via a parcel-level Geobase system, however, such systems are very complex and require a substantially longer time frame to implement. Therefore, concurrent with the development of the overall Growth Management Program, the City has begun work on developing such a Geobase system, which, at some point in time will supplant the methodology described in the previous paragraphs.
Likewise, the dwelling unit estimates at buildout represent a straight conversion of acres to units, with no regard to the number of units already existing or approved throughout the City. This may result in inequities within certain zones where development has previously occurred under less constraining conditions or using higher density ranges than those represented by the Control Yield. In those cases, remaining development will have to occur at densities lower t�an the Control Yield figure. Despite these recognized shortcomings, the approach and methodology used within the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan has been found to be quite adequate for the purpose to which it was intended, namely long-range facility planning. �herefore, until the parcel-level Geobase system described earlier is implemented, this approach will be used to provide the baseline estimates needed for both mid-term and long-term facilities planning.
Other planning assumptions used in preparing the Citywide projections included:
1. Dwelling unit projections do not include any density increases for special housing projects such as senior or low income projects.
-6-Amended 4/22/97
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 47 of 187
2. Hotel, motel, time-share, board and ca re, an d housing units without individual kitchen facilities which do not qualify as dwelling units in the building code were not considered as units for the purpose of dwelling unit calculations.
3. Likely changes to the City's Land Use Plan from a residential to non-residential use.
The projection made for the total number of dwelling units in the City at ultimate buildout has been translated into a Density Control Map (see Figure 3). The map shows existing, future and total dwelling units for each quadrant of the City.
Figure 4 (Citywide Acreage Information) shows the number of acres in each land use category which was used to make the Citywide projections for ultimate buildout.
Figure 5 (Projected Dwelling Units and Population at Buildout) shows how the acreage was converted into projected dwelling unit and population totals.
Figure 6 (Dwelling Unit Summary) provides a summary of existing, approved and remaining dwelling units in the City.
The information regarding buildout projections and assumptions is needed to determine the required demand for public facilities and services as growth occurs. The methodogy for projecting dwelling units at buildout, a •control yield•, follows the procedure which has al ways been used by the City in implementing the density ranges of the Land Use Plan. It is important to formalize this procedure as part of the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan since the projection has been translated into ultimate demand for public facilities and services. If the •control yield" is not closely adhered to, then the planned facilities and improvements may not be adequate.

SECTION V. CITYWIDE REQUIREMENTS FOR FACILITIES AND SERVICES
TO BUILDOUT
PUBLIC EXISTING
The Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan addresses eleven separate facilities:
1) City Administrative Facilities 2) Library 3) Wastewater Treatment Capacity 4) Parks 5) Drainage 6) Circulation 7) Fire 8 ) Open Space 9) Schools 10) Sewer Collection System 11) Water Distribution System
For each one of these facilities and services the following is provided:
1) An illustrative map showing what is existing and what is needed Citywide at buildout {Figures 8 through 18). City Administrative Facilities, Library and Fire have been combined into one map -Figure 8 {A, B, C) and Wastewater Treatment and Sewer Collection have been combined into one map -Figure 9;
2) District boundary maps where applicable;
3) Adopted service level performance standard which must be complied with at all times as gr owth occurs in the City; and
4) A detailed facility planning and adequacy analysis for each of the three Citywide facilities. A general description of the facility planning information for the remaining eight facilities. Compliance with the adopted performance standard for each of these eight facilities will be analyzed when a Local Facility Management Plan is submitted.
Compliance with the adopted Performance Standards will be reviewed and analyzed in the following manner:
Citywide Basis
1) City Administrative Facilities, 2) Library, 3) wastewater Treatment Capacity.
These facilities will not need to be included in the Local Facility Management Plan, so long as the preparers of those plans feel these Citywide facilities will be constructed at a time and on an adequate basis to correspond wit� projected development within the zone.

The type of adequacy and phasing analysis that is contained inthe Citywide Plan for City Administrative Facilities, Library andWastewater Treatment Capacity is similar to what will be expectedfor all the remaining facilities addressed in the Local FacilityManagement Plans for each zone.
It should be emphasized regarding the maps in this section, that because of their scale they are for illustrative purposes only. Larger descriptive maps have also been prepared, however, precise locations of facilities should be determined from Master Facility Plans available in the department or agency responsible for the facility. Also, because of the detail required, the maps for sewer, water and drainage only illustrate future planned facilities or improvements.
Performance Standards for City Administrative Facilities and Libraries,
The Performance Standards for City Administrative Facilities and Libraries
indicate that improvements must be "scheduled for construction within a five year period
or prior to construction of 6,250 dwelling units." This section is intended to provide
further clarification regarding what these Performance Standards mean and how they are to be applied.
In developing the Performance Standards contained in this plan, staff projected that an average of 1,250 dwelling units per year would be constructed after 1986. Therefore, for purposes of City Administrative Facilities and Library the "five year period" is intended to mean the amount of residential development equal to 1,250 dwelling units per year for five years, or a total of 6,250 dwelling units. The counting years or units
begins at the point in time that the demand for the facility first exceeds the supply.
The phrase Nscheduled for construction" means that the improvements needed to meet the demand have been designed, that a site has been selected and has been
acquired or is being acquired, and that a financing plan for construction of the facility has been approved by the City Council.
1 This section was included in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan by City Council Resolution No. 97-437 and amended by City Council Resolution No. 2017-170.

A comparison of the Tables yields the following conclusions:
1. Current City Administrative Facilities meet the standard and will continue to meet the standard until approximately 1992.
2. When the facilities proposed in the 5 year C.I.P. are constructed the standard will be met to ap proximately the year 2005.
3. After the year 2005, the additional •future• City Administrative Facilities will need to be added to the C.I.P. in order to meet the standard.
4. Based on current population per household of 2.471 persons, there is a future need for City Administrative Facilities beyond that programed in the C.I.P. of 33,127 square feet.

CITY ADMINISTRATIVE FACILITIES (Continued)
It should be noted that for the purpose of determining the adequacy of City Administrative Facilities that several leased facilities are included. These leased facilities may not always be in use by the City and at some future date may result in shortages of City Administrative Facilities. Also, the City has no centralized facility to serve the space needs of it's staff. This. decentralization of City departments may also need to be resolved.
The City Council on August 26, 1986 approved the final report entitled, •A Strategic Plan and Space Needs Study of the City of Carlsbad City Rall and Libraries• which was prepared by Michael Feerer & Associates. The Council held of f from making any decisions regarding the recommendations made in this study for City Rall Facilities.
c. Financing
The City currently collects a Public Facility Fee (PFF) which is set at 2.5% of permit valuation. This fee is paid at time of building permit issuance. In calculating the PFF the following expenditures were projected for City Administrative Facilities:
Public Safety Center Phase II City Hall -Future $3,400,000 $4,000,000
$7,400,000
In addition to the PFF funds, the City's 5 year Capital Improvement Program indicates the use of Sewer funds and Water Enterprise funds for part of the Public Safety Center Phase II.
The City's current projection for City Administrative Facilities as shown above indicates a need to expend a total of $7,400,000. This amount could be funded by the projected sources. Additionally, based on the standard, the entire $4,000,000 expenditure may or may not be ne cessary.
However, there is no guarantee that the PPP fees will actually be available when needed. Additional analysis should be undertaken on or be fore the year 2005 to analyze the likely availability of the $4,000,000 needed for future expansion.

The adopted Five Year C.I.P. includes $650,000 for the design of a main library in the southern area of the City. �lso, in Appendix A of the C.I.P. •To Be Considered Capital Projects,• the construction of this library is estimated at $6,900,000 to be funded by the Public Facilities Fee.
4. Other Information:
The City Council on August 26, 1986 approved the final report entitled, •A Strategic Plan & Space Needs Study of the City of Carlsbad City Hall & Libraries• which was prepared by Michael Feerer & Associates. The Council adopted option 15 of the library portion of the study which directed staff. to initiate a site selection study to be returned for Council consideration by

LIBRARY (Continued)
January 1, 1987. If implemented, this would add 8,000 square feet to the existing northern library along with re novating the current facility. The partial project costs are estimated at $1,974,000� It would also include building a new 58,000 square foot facility in the southern portion of the city at an estimated partial project cost of $8,365,000. The report indicated these estimates do not include costs for site acquisition or development, demolition, landscaping, artwork, financing, City project administrative costs, construction management or any parking structure costs.
B. Phasing
Population projections for the entire city were prepared on a yearly basis and are shown in Table 1 (Dwelling Unit and Population Projections) on Page 18. These projections are based on a review of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANOAG) projections along with those utilized for the City's Capital Improvements Program and the Public Facilities Management System, Monitoring Report of April, 1986.
A comparison of the existing inventory of library facilities to the adopted performance standard yields the following table:

Table 3 (Square Feet of City Library �eeded by Year and Square Feet Available) provides a detailed breakdown of the square footage of library space needed yearly to meet the adopted performance standard based on the population projection estimates from Table 1 (Dwelling Unit and Population Projections) on Page 18.
A simple comparison of these tables clearly in dicates a current deficiency in Library facilities of 9,752 square feet. If the City Council approved the new site location for the southern facility and appropriated the necessary funds,
-24-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 65 of 187
LIBRARY (Continued)
the City's Library space needs would be adequate until approximately the year 2005. If the additional 8,000 square foot expansion of the northern library were also approved and funded, this standard would be met until approximately the year 2008. After the year 2008, additional space would be necessary.
c. Financing
The city currently collects a Public Facility Fee (P.F.F.) which is set at 2.51 of Permit Valuation. This fee is paid at the time of permit issuance. The adopted C.I.P. allocates $650,000 of P.F.P. funds to design a new library facility. Other possible funding sources could be: General Capital Construction, Revenue Sharing or State or Federal grants.
At the present time there are no funds appropriated for the construction of additional Library space.
D. Alternatives
There are a numb er of alternatives which could be considered to rectify the current library deficiency, however, after discussing these options staff believes one of the following three alternatives should be considered:
1. Amend the current five year C.I.P. to include funding for new library facilities, which would require deleting other projects;
2. Wait until the site selection study is completed and returned on January 1, 1987 and adopt the appropriate recommendation to resolve th� deficiency at that time which would mean that no additional development could occur in the interim; or
3. Direct staff to attempt to resolve this deficiency based on the Local Facility Management Plans which will be received after the approval of the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan.
It should be noted that for the purposes of as sessing the adequacy of the Library to the adopted Performance Standard that leased space has been included. This space should be considered temporary and may not always be available for use by the Library.

FACILITY PLANNIN G AND ADE QUACY ANALYSIS
A. Inventory
sewer service to the City of Carlsbad is provided by three separate and independent agenc ies. The majority of the City rec eives servic e from the City's Sewer Distric t. Ap proximately 5,200 acres of land in the so uthern par t of the City receives servic e from the Leuc adia County Water District (LCWD), and the San Marcos County Water Distric t (SMCWD) provides sewer service to rou ghly 550 acres on the eastern edge of the City. The servic e ar eas of these two agencies extend wel l to the so uth and east of the City's boundaries, but for the projec tions and analysis only that portion of the Distric t's servic e area wi thin the City of Carlsbad was considered.

2. Existing Facilities:
wastewater from the three agencies is treated at the Encina Water Pollutio n Control Facilities (WPCF), which is owned and operated by six separate independent agencies. Of the three agencies which provide sewer service in the City of Carlsbad, their currently owned treatment c�pacity at the Encina WPCF is:
Carlsbad Sewer District 25.4% or 5.7 MGD
LP.ucadia County Water District 16 • 7% or 3 • 8 MGD
San Marcos County Water District 17.81 or 4.0 MGD
-29-Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 70 of 187
WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY (Continued)
Both Leucadia and San Marcos own and operate their own separate treatment and reclamation facilities as shown below:
Leucadia County Water District: Gafner WRP -.75 MGD (ADWF)
San Marcos County Water District: Meadowlark WRP -2.0 MGD (ADWF)
The City of Carlsbad also has an additional treatment facility at Calavera Hills which will have a 1.2 MGD (ADWF) capacity when it is brought into operation.
3. Facilities in the City's Five Year Capital Improvements Program:
Because the Leucadia County Water District and the San Marcos County water District are independent agencies, their specific capital improvements are detailed in their appropriate long term planning documents. For this reason, capital improvement facilities covered in this section will address those within the purview of the City of Carlsbad only.
The adopted C.I.P. includes two items which will be funded from the sewer fund:
1. Encina WPCF -Phase IV scheduled for 1989 -$5,130,000 2. Calavera Hills -scheduled for 1990 -$2,000,000
B. Phasing
The following table provides a planning projection of demand and available treatment capacity at Encina WPCF for the City of Carlsbad's service area.
As this table shows, the current capacity at the Encina WPCF is adequate to accommodate the projected MGD demand for the City of Carlsbad's service area until 1990. Following the Phase IV expansion at Encina, Carlsbad's capacity will be adequate until 2000. If the scheduled expansion program is not carried out as planned, the City has several options available which would maintain adequate sewer treatment capacity, such as:
1. Activate the Calavera Hills Plant - 1 .2 K;D C 6,000 EDU)
2. Purchase or lease plant capacity from other ag encies.
Based upon the information provided by the Leucadia County Water District and the San Marcos County Water District for their existing demand in Carlsbad, their capacity ownership at Encina WPCF, as well as their other sewer treatment and reclamation facilities are adequate.
Each agency will review and approve the Local Facility Managment Plans and specific phasing plans which could affect their facilities.

PARKS
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
Three acres of Community Park or Special Use Area per 1,000 population within the Park District must
be scheduled for construction within a five year period beginning at the time the need is first identified.
The five year period shall not commence prior to August 22, 2017.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This performance standard was developed to address community park and special use areas together.
Combining the two provides greater flexibility for the city to address the park facility needs of each
quadrant as development occurs.
As stated in the performance standard, the phrase "scheduled for construction" means that the
improvements needed to meet the demand have been designed, that a site has been selected and has
been acquired or is being acquired, and that a financing plan for construction of the facility has been
approved by the City Council.
The performance standard states that “the five year period shall not commence prior to August 22,
2017;” this provision was added to the standard pursuant to City Council approval of GPA 2017-0002/
OAJ 17-0004 (City Council Resolution No. 2017-170), which implemented part of a settlement
agreement that settled a lawsuit filed on the 2015 General Plan update. At the time of this approval,
the five year period shall commence for the southwest and southeast quadrants, which do not have
park acreage in excess of the standard.
BUILDOUT FACILITY ADEQUACY ANALYSIS
Based on the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Capital Improvement Program list of projects, Veteran’s Memorial Park
(91.5 acres, with 22.9 acres applied to each quadrant) is proposed to be constructed prior to buildout.
Construction of this community park would result in the projected park inventory for all city quadrants
exceeding the projected required acreage at buildout, as shown below:
-32-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 73 of 187
The figures above for proposed park acreage do not include park projects listed in the CIP as
“unfunded” or “partially unfunded”: Zone 5 Business Park Recreational Facility (NW – 9.3 acres);
Cannon Lake Park (NW – 6.8 acres); or Robertson Ranch Park (NE – 11.2 acres). Should alternative
funding mechanisms be found, and these parks are built, the additional park acreage would further
aid in meeting/exceeding the Growth Management park performance standard.

DRAINAGE
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
Drainage facilities must be provided as required by the City concurrent with development.
ADDITIONAL FACILITY PLANNING INFORMATION
The standard for drainage distinguishes it from all of the other public facilities and improvements because by its very nature it is more accurately assessed as the specific development plans for individual projects are finalized. Therefore, the standard has been written to allow the City to require the appropriate development drainage facilities as these plans are finalized and approved.
Those drainage facilities which are of a larger nature have been addressed in the City's Master Drainage Plan which was completed in March 1980. Since that time, the City has made various improvements to the overall drainage system. At the present time, the Engineering Department is working to up date the City's Master Drainage Plan. This is necessary to address several issues although the following two items are the major reasons for updating the plan:
1.The addition of the San Diego County �lood Districtarea to the City, and
2.�he proposed change_ to the calculation method usedto determine 50 and 100 year flood flows.
The City currently collects drainage fees in various districts to fund these needed major drainage facilities. The new Master Drainage Plan will assure that these funds are sufficient to provide adequate drainage facilities.

CIRCULATION
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
Implement a comprehensive livable streets network that serves all users of the system – vehicles,
pedestrians, bicycles and public transit. Maintain LOS D or better for all modes that are subject to this
multi-modal level of service (MMLOS) standard, as identified in Table 3-1 of the General Plan Mobility
Element, excluding LOS exempt intersections and streets approved by the City Council.
ADDITIONAL FACILITY PLANNING INFORMATION
Traditionally, transportation systems have been designed to achieve a level of service from the
perspective of the driver, not pedestrians or bicyclists. However, the city’s livable streets vision
recognizes the street as a public space and ensures that the public space serves all users of the system
(elderly, children, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) within the urban context of that system (e.g. accounting for
the adjacent land uses).
The California Complete Streets Act (2008) requires cities in California to plan for a balanced, multi-
modal transportation system that meets the needs of all travel modes. As described in the General Plan
Mobility Element, the city utilizes a multi-modal level of service (MMLOS) methodology that evaluates
the service levels for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users. The vehicle level of service is determined
by the Highway Capacity Manual.
While many transportation projects in Carlsbad have historically been vehicle capacity enhancing and
traffic control focused, the livable streets strategy will explore all potential solutions to enhance the
mobility for all users of the street. Many future transportation projects will involve repurposing existing
right-of-way rather than acquiring and constructing new right-of-way.
The city’s approach to provide livable streets recognizes that optimum service levels cannot be provided
for all travel modes on all streets within the city. This is due to competing interests that arise when
different travel modes mix. Therefore, the General Plan Mobility Element intends to provide a balanced
mobility system that identifies, based on the type of street (street typology), the travel modes for which
service levels should be enhanced and maintained per the multi-modal level of service (MMLOS)
standard specified in the city's Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan.

PERFORMANCE STANDARD
School capacity to meet projected enrollment within the zone as determined by the appropriate school district must be provided prior to project ed occupancy.
ADDITIONAL FACILITY PLANNING INFORMATION
The City is served by four school districts:
1.Carlsbad Unified Sc hool District2.San Marcos Unified School District3.San Dieguito Union High school District4.Encinitas Union Elementary School District
The preceding, illustrative map shows the proposed future sc hool sites along with those that presently exist. These locations wer• determined during the Sc hool Master Location Study which was completed in 1982. Based on the new land use densities and the information provided to the Carlsbad School District, they are considering the possibility of updating the School Location Plan. With the exception of the Carlsbad School District, the remaining three districts provide approval for new development so long as the appropriate fee is collected. The Carlsbad School District collects a fee but also negotiates certain items on an individual basis with each developer prior to providing a •will Serve• letter to the City.
The Growth Management Program and adopted school perfor-· mance standard wil1 allow this process to continue.
The major difference to the previous process is that before, the districts were only able to review projects individually. Now, during the Local Facility Management Plan review, they will have the ability to view a much larger, comprehensive plan. This added information will enable the districts to consider alternate plans of action and to make necessary adjustments in advance of the impact of new development.

SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
Trunk line capacity to meet demand as determined by the appropriate sewer district must be provided concurrent with development.
ADDITIONAL FACILITY PLANNING INFORMATION
The City is provided sewer service from three agencies:
1.City of Carlsbad2. Leucadia County Water District3.San Marcos County Water District
Each of the three service providers ha ve completed master plans for the major public facilities needed to service the City. The San Marcos facilities are in place now which will provide service for buildout needs of their service area. The Leucadia County Water District completed their agency's Master Study Plan in September 1985 which provides for all facilities needed to buildout. The Carlsbad Sewer Mast er Plan was completed in April 1985, and it also provides for all facilities needed to buildout.
Sewer faci lities are such that the exact size and capacity of each line depends on the individual development projects being proposed. Therefore, the master plans developed by each agency are able to address these needs at the project level.
The existing Sewer Collection System is adequate to meet current service demands. The future plans of each agency provide the necessary facilities to service the City at buildout. Each service provider will review and approve all local plans that affect their service area to ensure that the adopted performance standard is maintained based on the phasing of development.

Each of the three service providers, exclusive of Buena Colorado Water District, have completed master plans for the major public facilities needed to service the City. The San Marcos facilities are in place now which· will provide service for the buildout needs of their service area. Olivenhain has identified certain existing facilities which will need to be upgraded and improved in order to meet the needs of future growth.
Costa Real has identified those facilities which will need to be added, upgraded, and improved in order to meet the needs of future growth. For the most part, the facilities needed to service the City are presently in place, and where future facilities are needed, they have been identified in the appropriate Master Plan.
The existing Water Distribution System is adequate to meet current service demands. This includes both line capacity and the minimum 10 day storage capacity. The future plans of each service agency provide the necessary facilities and storage capacity to meet the buildout needs of the City.** Each service provider will review all local plans that affect their service area to ensure that the adopted performance standard is maintained based on the phasing of development.
*At some future date, the Buena Colorado Water District's Carlsbad service area will be absorbed into the Costa Real Municipal Water District.
**The San Marcos County Water District has determined a 3.2 day storage supply of water for their district's local service area. Because the Carlsbad service area is so small, it has been determined that their storage capacity is adequate.

A.City StandardsB.InventoryC.PhasingO.Financing
I.City Standards
Por ease of reference, please repeat the City Performance Sta ndard at the start of each section.
I I. Inventory
The Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan includes a prelimi nary inventory of present and future requirements for each facility and improvement. The Local Facility Management Plan should confirm this inventory and provide additional details including cost estimates for the specific zone.
Because improvement requirements fo r certain facilities and improvements may overlap zone boundaries, a discussion of the need for coordination and a proposed coordination plan for facilities extending from one zone to another shall be included. It must be shown that development in the zone will not reduce the facilities or improvements capabilities or create facilities or improvements shortages in other zones or reduce service capability in any zone below the City's adopted performance standard.
A few additional sp ecific guidelines for facility inventory are included below:
1.PARKS
The plan shall include:
i.A map of the Park District within whichthe zone is located. If a zone lies inmore than one Park District, a map �hallbe shown for each Park District.

The phasing schedule shall ensure that development of one area of the zone will not utilize more than the area's pro rata share of facility or improvement capacity within that zone unless sufficient capacity is ensured for other areas of the zone at the time of the first development.
-62-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 103 of 187
Periods where facilities and improvements may not meet the City standard shall be indicated, and the plan shall either:
i.Provide a means for meeting the stan�ard, or
ii.Suspebd development in the zone for a periodof tim� until the standard is met.
The primary goal of the zone plan is to provide more up fr�nt, longer term plannning for public facilities. The phasing analysis and schedules are primarily fo r planning and •early alert• purposes. It is recognized that when development will actually take place relates to many variables that change over time. Nevertheless, it is necessary to prepare phasing assumptions in order to analyze facility phasing, construction and financing plans. The decision as to whether a specific project may proceed will be made in relation to both the zone plan and the actual project approval. In both cases analysis will relate directly to assurances that the Performance Standards can be met.
Both dwelling unit and non-residential land usage should be projected on a year-by-year basis over a twenty year time line similar to the analysis that was done in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan. Development projected beyond the 20 year period should be shown in one remainder number. A table for th� speci£ic zone should be included as part of the plan. City staff will verify the •reasonableness• of these projections based uponregional growth predictions prepared by SANDAG,projections made by the City in conjunction with theCapital Improvements Program and actual historicaltrends.
Specific facility phasing for each of the eleven facilities should relate directly to these projections. When considered helpful, alternative phasing schedules may_ be submitted. For example, such schedules might document that facilities will be adequate fo� variable rates of development within the specific zone�
Additional instructions for specific facilities are as follows:
-63-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 104 of 187
SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM
Any temporary pump station required, due to phasing of facilities shall be clearly identified.
Future development proposals requiring pump stations that are not identified in the zone plan will not be approved without amendments to the zone plan.
DRAINAGE
It should be shown that the proposed phasing schedules will not create any onsite or downstream problems in relation to erosion, flooding or siltation.
IV.Financing Plan
A financing plan estabishing proposed methods to fund all needed facilities shall be included: The plan shall specifically indicate;
i.Which facilities are proposed to be funded andbuilt as an integral requirement of thedevelopment projects located within the zone.Where facilities are proposed to beconstructed in the future and the costs are tobe allocated to variou s properties ordevelopments within the zone, the plan shallso indicate and a Facilities Management Feeshall be proposed. The amount of the feeshall be determined based upon the estimatedcost of the facilities spread to a specificincrement or level of development. The feeshall be collected unit by unit inrelationship to the specific demand beginningwith the first unit of development. Thesefees shall be held in deposit with the City inorder to assure funds will be available whenthe facility is needed.
ii.Which facilities are proposed to be built bythe City, special District or State as partof its normal capital improvement program.The facilities should be shown on an approvedcapital facilities program.
-64-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 105 of 187
iii. Where the City or Special District proposes tobuild a facility as part of its normal capitalimprovements program but such facility is notcurrently shown on an adopted capitalimprovements program, supporting verificationand documentation should be included from theCity· or special District.
iv. Other funding sources such as assessmentdistricts or grants shall be discussed indetail along with rationale as to why thissource is considered workable.
v.If developer reimbursement agreements areanticipated in relation to financing theyshould be so indicated. Detailed rationale asto why reimbursement is reasonable, areference to the legal authority allowing suchan agreement, and how such reimburse ment is tobe arranged shall be included in accordancewith the proposed construction sc hedule anddevelopment phasing plans.
vi.Where facilities or improvements are requiredfor more than one zone, the phasing plan shallidentify those other zones and the plan foreach zone shall be coordinated. Coordinationshall not require identical funding methods,as long as the plan assures that funds will beavailable concurrent with need.
Additional instructions for specific facilities are as follows:
OPEN SPACE
Open space will normally be reqQired as part of the development. Any proposal to include open space as part of a City-maintained program will require extraordinary jus tification.
SCHOOLS
Please discu ss here an understanding of the school districts funding plan, particularly in relation to developer agreements for development approvals within the zone.
SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM
If temporary pump stations are proposed, a financing plan covering the operations of the pump stations during the temporary period shall
-65-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 106 of 187
be included. It will normally be assumed that this operation will be funded by the related devel opment.

SECTION VII. FINANCING OPTIONS AND POLICIES
When the Work Plan for the Growth Management Ordinance was
adopted by the City Council on July 1, 1986, a detail�d financing plan and analysis was not requested for the facilities aqd
improvements which were to be addressed in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan. It was understood that detailed financing plans would be required as part of the preparation of the Local Facility Management Plans. However, this section does address avail able cost estimates and funding sources for those citywide facilities under the City's control. The table titled •Future Public Facilities List• at the end of this section shows these facilities. Those citywide facilities
to be installed or financed through the operations of the various special distr�cts are referenced in the district's appropriate master plans.
The capital facilities necessary to support the City of Carlsbad generally fall into two categories --those provided by developers as a condition of development approvals, and those provided by the City through a system of fees, taxes, or other financing sources. The Growth Management Ordinance further defines this division by listing the projects that qualify for funding from one of the usual City sources.
It is the City's responsibility to plan for the construction and maintenance of City projects and to finance these projects in the best possible way. The following describes some of the financing options available to the City.
A.Cash/Pay-as-you-go financing. The City has used thismethod of financing to pay for most capitalimprovements constructed to date.
In concept, the City charges the development communitya series of fees which provide the source of income topay for capital projects. When enough cash has beenassembled, the City constructs the next capital projectin order of priority. This method forces the City todelay construction of various projects until funds havebeen collected. These fees include:
1.Public Facilities Fee2.Park-In-Lieu Pees3.Planned Local Drainage Fees4.Traffic Impact Feess.Bridge and Thoroughfare Benefit District Fee6.Sewer Pees7.water Pees
Special Districts collect their own various fees.
-67-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 108 of 187
B.Reimbursement Agreements. In certain inst ances, a
developer may ask the City to move a project forward intime and to construct a facility before funds have beencollected. When this occurs, the City could adopt thepolicy of having the interest ed developer constructthe project based on a reimbursement agreement. TheCity would pay the developer back for the portion ofthe project that was to be funded by City resourcesover a period of time. Payments would commence at thetime the City had originally scheduled construction.Moving the project forward in time is for the benefitof the developer. Therefore, the City's repayment wouldbe limited to the cost of the public portion of theproject and no interest would accrue to the developer.The use of this method of project financing does noteliminate the developer's obligation to pay City fees.The developer must still pay all City fees associatedwith a development.
C.credit for City Fees. When it is in the publicinterest to construct certain public facilities earlierthan would be possible under a pay-as-you-go program,the City can consider giving a developer credit forfees th at would otherwise be paid, up to the cost of thepublic improvement. These credits would reduce theamount of fees payable in future years from a certaindevelopment.
Pee credits must be used carefully to avoid eliminationof income from capital fees necessary to finance otherprojects. Two alternatives exist for fee credits:
Full fee credit immediately: Under this option, the developer who builds a public improvement would be eligible to deduct 1001 of the cost of the improvement from feespayable. Once the fee credit is exhausted,the developer begins paying fees as normallyassessed by the City. Under this option thedeveloper gets immediate credit for the totalcost of a project.
Partial fee credit -credit over time: In this option, the developer who builds a public improvement receives a credit for the cost of a public improvement. However, the use of that credit is spread over a series of years. This allows the City to continue to receive at least a portion of fees
-68-Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 109 of 187
designated for capital projects while giving the developer credit for the construction of public improvements that would have ot herwise been paid for by the City. Wo interest would accrue to the developer as a part of this arrangement.
D.Debt Financing. A range of debt financing alternativesare available to the City. If it is in the public interest to push a project ahead and to construct an improvement before funds are on ha nd, debt financing may be the answer. If the project is being pushed forward for the convenience or benefit of a developer, that developer should bear the cost of issuance and interest over the life of the debt issue. The actual mechanics of a debt issue and how to determine the developer's responsibility to support costs is yet to be defined.
Some of the debt financing vehicles available are shown below:
Assessment Districts:
Under Council Policy No. 33, the City may assist a developer in the construction of various public improvements that may be financed through the use of assessment districts if there is significant public benefits from the improvement. In cases where a City contribution would be necessary to a district, the City may ask a developer to pay the City contribution. The developer could then be reimbursed at a later date (i.e., in the year that the capital project had been originally scheduled for construction) or through a system of credits as described earlier.
Special Benefit Districts:
State law allows the formation of a variety of special benefit districts. These districts may be used to fund the construction of parks, libraries, police or fire facilities, and street lighting systems to name a few. These districts may be formed by a vote of the property owners who then assess themselves for the cost of improvements.
The developer and/or land owner bears the burden of debt service payments. City participation in a district of this type is possible to th e extent of public improvements that would have otherwise been the responsibility of the City. However, the movement of capital improvements forward-in-time would require some concession from the developer in offsetting interest,
-69-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 110 of 187
debt issue, or other additional costs.
Revenue Bonds:
The City may elect to issue revenue bonds to finance improvements related to utility functions or other City services that generate a fee for service, although other City functions could support the use of revenuebonds. If public improvements are being installed aheadof schedule to accommodate a developer, the City wouldexpect the developer to offset many of the costs of suchan issue as described above.
Tax Increment Bonds:
Public improvements in the City's redevelopment area can be financed through the use of tax increment bonds. The Redevelopment Agency has developed a plan for the construction of public improvements using this method of financing. A developer asking for public improvements to be constructed ahead of schedule must consider the agency's ability and willingness to defer other projects.
Certificates of Participation:
Certain public facilities such as buildings can be financed through Certificates of Participation. This is in effect a lease agreement between the City and another agency. A developer wishing to push projects forward might consider constructing facilities such as a library or fire station using this financing tool. The developer may be asked to bear certain costs or to accept credit in lieu of payment for certain improvements.
General Obligation Bonds:
The City has the ability to issue General Obligation Bonds to fund the construction of public improvements. This can only be done with the approval of 2/3 of the voters in an election. It is unlikely that the City will have the ability to use this method of funding public projects which benefit specific developments.
-70-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 111 of 187
In the course of developing the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the following financing policies were
identified:
1.Recognize that those projects identified in the PublicFacilities Pee Calculation are the ultimateresponsibility of the City to fund, however, thepriority for funding projects is at the dis cretion ofthe City Council.
2.Recognize that the Capital Improvements Program willplay a significant role in helping to establishcompliance with the adopted preformance standards.Priority for the funding of projects should go to infillareas or areas of the city where existing deficienciesexist.
3.Agree to consider assisting developers with creditsagainst future fees, reimbursement agreements, formingassessment districts, etc. only when it is clearly inthe public interest to do so or to rectify publicfacility deficiencies and not to induce growth byprematurely upgrading public facilities.
4.Recognize that all credit or reimbursement arrangementswill be made based on the City's plans for timing ofcertain public facilities. For example, if a developerwanted to put in an improvement that the City had notplanned for 5 years and was not necessary to rectify anexisting deficiency, the City would not considerbeginning to provide credits or reimbursement until the5th year, if at all.
s.Recog nize that public facility improvements made upfront or ahead of City plans by developers must providethe funds necessary to cover annual operating costs forthe facility until the time the City had previouslyplanned to provide the facility.
6.With the recent reduction in residential densities andoverall restriction on residential development,recognize that it may be necessary to start chargingfees to commercial and industrial land uses in caseswhere they are not presently assessed. For example,commercial and industrial developments do not pay schoolor park fees although they will increasingly impactthese facilities. With the reduction in residentialland uses and density, it may be necessary to chargecommercial and industrial to make up the deficit.
7.At a future date, consider directing staff to conduct afinancial analysis of the Public Facilities Fee to determineits adequacy in terms of cash flow and method of calculationin light of the overall Growth Management Program.

SECTION VIII.GROWTH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Concurrent with the creation of the Citywide Public Facilities and Improvements Plan and the overall Growth Management Program for the City of Carlsbad, an information system was also est ablished to handle the wide variety of data that would be generated. The Information System was designed to operate initially on a stand-alone basis using the City's personal computer facilities. However, in its ultimate configuration, it would be operated as an element of a parcel-level Geographical Information System, or Geobase, which is currently being designed by the City's Information Systems Department for impl ementation within a one to two year time frame. The relationship of the Growth Management Information System to the Geobase is described later in this section.
Figure 19 provides a conceptual overview of the Growth Management Information System. A variety of data would be accepted as input into the system, such as Local Facility Management Plans acreage and population data, capital improvement information, and the ongoing status of development activity throughout the City. Whenever possible, these data would be supplied in computer-readible formats, however initially, it is likely that much of this information would have to be entered manually via the PC keyboard.
The information supplied to the system would be used to generate long-term growth projections for the City and to estimate the amount and type of public facilities that will be needed to adequately support such �rowth. In addition, the system will also be used for a number of other purposes. For example, it will aid in analyzing each of the 25 Local Facility Man agement Plans for compliance with the Citywide Plan; will maintain data as to how specific facilities are scheduled to be phased ov er time; and will store details as to how the proposed funding mechanisms wo uld function within and between zones.
Output would be made available in the form of rep orts, charts, graphs and random inquiries, as well as via maps for each of the eleven public facility categories addressed in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan.
Figure 20 depicts the geographical •entities• for which data will be maintained within the system. At the highest level, information will be maintained on a Citywide basis. At the next level, the City has been divided for planning purposes into four quadrants (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Southeast). Geographically, these quadrants are defined by the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real.
In addition, a number of Special Districts exist to provide specific services to the area, and the Information System has
-75-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 116 of 187
been designed to store and maintain information discretely for those portions of the following Special Districts which lie within the City:
Water:
Sewer:
Schools:
Costa Real Municipal Water District Olivenhain Municipal Water District San Marcos County Water District
Leucadia County Water District San Marcos County Water District
Carlsbad Unified School District Encinitas Union Elementary School District San Dieguito Union High School District San Marcos Unified School District
Information relative to the Special Districts was provided to each District at the time that the City's overall Growth Management Program and the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan was presented and explained. In the future, updates will be forwarded to the Districts on a regular basis so that long-range facilities planning for the entire City can occur using comparable data and assumptions.
Additionally, several other entities have al so been defined within Car lsbad for which the same types of data will be maintained, including the following:
Sewer Master Plan Areas Drainage Districts Coastal Zone
At the lowest leve l of detail, the Growth Management Program has divided the City into 25 Local Facility Management Zones for which facilities and improvements plans will be prepared. These zones represent the lowest level of information that will be stored and maintained in the system. When the aforementioned Geobase becomes operational, detailed information will be available for each of the 19,000+ parcels that currently exist within the City. until that time, however, the finest level of geographical information that will be generated by the Growth Management Information System will be for the 25 individual local zones.
A host of information will be made available via the City's Growth Management Information System. This information can be grouped into two broad categories: land use projections and
-76-Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 117 of 187
public facility data. Land use projection data would include the following:
--Acreage Gross Fully Constrained 25 - 401 Slopes Net Developable
--Dwelling Units: Buildout
--Population:
--Indust./Coml.:
Existing Approved Remaining
Buildout Existing Based on Approved Units Based on Remaining Units
Buildout Existing Approved Remaining
The land use projection information listed above will be used to determine the type and amount of public facilities that would be required at buildout for each of the categories listed below:
--Facilities: Sewer Water Drainage Circulation Fire Administrative Facilities Parks Library Schools Open Space
The types of data that will eventually be available when Local Facility Management Plans are submitted and approved for each of the facilities within each of the geographical entities is as follows:
--Information: Existing Capacity/Status Ultimate Demand Existing Demand Approved Demand Remaining Demand versus Capacity
some of this information can be most effectively displayed using tables, charts, or graphs, while other portions of it would lend
itself most effectively to display using maps. Pigure 21
-77-
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 118 of 187
provides a concep tual overview of how these data would be made available, and Figure 22 shows the specific formats or media types that would be suitable for dis playing the information tha� will be available via the system.
In its ultimate configuration, the Growth Management Information System would operate as an element of a ce ntralized Geographical Information System, or Geob ase, see Figure 23. The Geobase would contain a file of informat ion keyed to individual parcels within the City. By combining these parcel files using different geographical configurations, the parcel-level information can be aggregated upward into Local Facility Man agement zones, Special Districts, quadr ants, or Citywide reports. This concept, which is shown in Figure 24, would represent no visible change to the end user, in that the data and reports would be essentially the same as those generated today via the Growth Man agement Information System. Withsa Geobase System, however, a much wider array of information will be available, and the level of detail will be at the most basic entity, namely individual parcels. This capability will, in turn, make possible a number of other applications, such as a Permit Tracking System, and will also provide an opportunity to in teract with other data bases or systems.

(3) A financing plan establishing va rious methods of funding the facilities and improvements id entified in the pla fairly allocating the cost to the va rious properties within the zone. The plan shall identify those facilities and irnprovements which would otherwise be provided as a requirement of processing a development project (i.e. requirements imposed as a condition of a development permit} or provided by the developer in order t establish consistency with the general plan or Titles 18, 20 or 21 of this Code, and those facilities and improvements fo r which new funding methods which shall be su fficient to ensure sufficient funds are available to con struct or provide facilities or improvements when required by the phasing sc hedule Where facilities or improvements are reauired for more than one zone, the phasing plan shall identify those ot her zones and the plan for eac h zone shall be coordinated. Coordination, ho wever, shall not require identical funding methods.

(b} The citywide facilities and improvement clan a�� the local facility management plan pr ocess is part of �he Ci:v's ongoing planning ef fort. It is anticipated that amend�ents to the plans may be necessary. Adoption of a facilities manace�ent plan does not establish any entitlement or riaht to any particular general .Plan or zoning designation or any particular development proposal. The citywide facilities and improvements plan and the local facilities management plans are gu ides to ensure that no development occurs unless adequate facilities or improvements will be available to meet demands created by development. The City Council may initiate an amendment to any of the plans at any time if in its discretion it de termines that an amendment is necessary to ensure adequate facilities and improvements. (c) If at any time it appears to the satisfaction of the City Manager that facilities or improvements within a facilities management zone or zones are inadequate to accommodate any further development within that zone or that the performance standards adopted pursuant to Section 21.90.100 are not being met he shall immediately report the de ficiency to the Council. If the Council determines that a deficiency exists then no further building or development permits shall be issued within the affected zone or zones and development shall cease until an amendment to the citywide facilities and im provements plan or applicable local facilities management plan which addresses the deficiency is approved by the City Council and the performance standard is met. (d) The Planning Director shall monitor the developmen activity for each local facilities management zone and shall prepare an annual report to the City Council consisting of ma ps, graphs, charts, tables and text and which includes a developmental activity analysis, a facilities and improvements adequacy analysis, a facility revenue/expenditure analysis and recommendation for any amendments to the facilities management plan. The content of the annual report shall be established by the City Council. (e) The City Council shall annually review the citywid facilities and improvements plan at the time it considers the City's capital improvement budget.
21.90.140 Obligation to pay fees or install improvements required by any other law. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as relieving a builder, developer or subdivider from any public improvement requirement, dedication requirement or fee requirement which is imposed pursuant to Titles 13, 18, 20 or 21 of this code or pursuant to any City Council policy.
21.90.150 Implementing guidelines. The City Council may adopt any guidelines it deems necessary to implement this chapter.

SECTION 2: The City Council makes the following
· findings:
1. Since January 1985, the City of Carlsbad has been undertaking a comprehensive review of the Land Use Element of it General Plan. As part of that review a Council ap pointed Citizens Committee prepared a comprehensive report and recommendation to the City Council. That report was subject to public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council Included in the recommendations of the Citizens Committee were recommendations that no new development should occur un less

adequate public facilities are available concurrently wit� �eet to serve the new development.
2. On Au9ust 6, 1985, the City Council adopted Interi� Ordinance No. 9766, imp osing certain te mp orary land use controls on property within 'the City, consistent with the recommendation of the Citizens Committee. On September 3, 1985, the Citv Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 9771 whic h extended· the restrictions of Ordinance No. 9766 until July 20, 1986. on December 10, 1985, the City Council ap proved in concept several land use proposals not contained in the Citizens Committee rep ort. On January 21, 1986 the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 9791 imposing a temporary moratorium on de velopment approvals based on the findings contained in that ordinance. en April 22, 1986 the City Council revised City Council Policy No. 17, based on the findings contained therein. On May 6, 1986 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 8107 establishing a tr affic impact fee for the La Costa Area of the City. The City Council finds that all of these actions plus the adoption of Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code are necessary to ensure adequate public facilities are available to serve any new development in the City. Without Chapter 21.90 and the requirements imposed by it, adequate public facilities ma y not b available to serve new development or building. Development or building without public facilities is contrary to the City General Plan and would be dangerous to the public health and safety.
3. This action of the City Council is consistent with long standing policies and objectives of the City to ensure adequate public facilities within Carlsbad. This action will protect the public health, safety and welfare of the ci tizens of Carlsbad by ensuring safe streets, adequate water, sewer and drainage facilities, sufficient fire protection and recreation facilities.
4. This action is consistent with the City's policy to provide housing opportunities for all economic sectors of the community, because sufficient opportunities for new housing continue to exist within the City and Chapter 21.90 does not affect the number of houses which ma y be built. In addition, development of housing for low and moderate income persons and families would most likely occur in areas of the City which are designated for highest development pri ority. By encouraging development of infill areas first, where the infrastructure is already existing, the cost of housing ma y be reduced.
5. Because any new development affects public facility availability it is necessary to imp ose the fees and charges whic will be used to provide public facilities on any new building in the City. The Council finds that failure to imp ose the fees and charges on an y new building in the City will adversel y affect th public health and sa fety by reducing the safety of its City's streets, increasing the burden on water, sewer, drainage and fir

6. Adoption of Chapter 21.90 will not adversely affec: the regional welfare. By ensuring that ad eouate and safe ���1�� facilities and improvements will exist to serve all of the development in Carlsbad and because many of these facilities ar.� improvements are used by ·ersons residing in neighborina areas and cities the safety and welfare of th e whole region is enhanced. SECTION 3: The City Council intends to implement the ! growth management program contained in Chapter 21.90 by followi�� the work program in Exhibit A which is hereby made a part of thi l
ordinance. The City Council may adjust the work program without amending this ordinance as they de termine necessary to accomplis effective growth management for the City of Carlsbad.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-074
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, IMPLEMENTING UPDATED HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRAM 2.2,
BY FINDING THE CITY'S RESIDENTIAL HOUSING CAPS CONTAINED IN THE
GENERAL PLAN, GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (PROPOSITION E), CITY
COUNCIL POLICY STATEMENT NO. 43, AND THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL CODE
(TITLE 21 CHAPTER 90) ARE PREEMPTED BY STATE LAW AND
UNENFORCEABLE
WHEREAS, in 1986 the voters of the City of Carlsbad, California adopted Proposition E, which
has become known as the Growth Management Plan (GMP); and
WHEREAS, the GMP amended the city's General Plan by adding the following:
The City of Carlsbad in implementing its public facilities element and growth
management plan has made an estimate of the number of dwelling units that will be
built as a result of the application of the density ranges in the Land Use Element to
individual projects. The City's Capital Improvement Budget, growth management plan,
and public facilities plans are based on this estimate. In order to ensure that all
necessary public facilities will be available concurrent with need to serve new
development it is necessary to limit the number of residential dwelling units which can
be constructed in the city to that estimate. For that purpose, the city has been divided
into four quadrants along El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. The maximum
number of residential dwelling units to be constructed or approved in the city after
November 4, 1986 is as follows: Northwest quadrant 5,844; Northeast quadrant 6,166;
Southwest quadrant 10,667; Southeast quadrant 10,801; and
The total number of residential dwelling units at build out was limited to 54,599; and,
WHEREAS, for the sixth housing cycle, the city was assigned a total RHNA of 3,873 housing units,
and as of February 28, 2021, only 1,953 residential dwelling units remain available to reach the 54,599
citywide cap. This number includes the 1,353 units that were removed by the City Council in 2002. The
1,953 total units that remain available are distributed among the quadrants as follows: 417 residential
dwelling units in the Northwest quadrant, 102 in the Northeast quadrant, 1,127 in the Southwest
quadrant and 307 in the Southeast quadrant for a total of 1,953; and
WHEREAS, Proposition E also established Growth Management Control Points for General Plan
Density Ranges in order to ensure that growth caps would not be exceeded. When a project is approved
with fewer dwelling units than would be allowed by the Growth Management Control Point, excess
dwelling units are created. These units are "deposited" in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank ([DUB). The
City Council enacted City Council Policy No. 43 in part to create a process to allocate these excess units
EXHIBIT 6
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 171 of 187
to future projects. City Council Policy No. 43 can act as a cap on development to the extent that units
are available in the EDUB; and
WHEREAS, the City's General Plan Land Use and Community Design (LUCD) Element also
incorporates the residential caps and control points from Proposition E, including Table 2-3 and Section
2.6, Policy 2-P.8(a) and (b), Policy 2-P.16(d), Policy 2-P.57;
WHEREAS, the City's Municipal Code contains a number of provisions which also implement the
GMP housing caps, including but not limited to CMC §§ 21.90.030 (b), 21.90.045 and 21.90.185;
WHEREAS, in 2017 the California Legislature passed SB 166 which amended the Housing
Element law (Gov. Code § 65863(a)) to require the City to ensure that its Housing Element is capable
of accommodating the remaining Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) "at all times;" and
WHEREAS, in 2019 the California Legislature passed the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330)
which added 66300 to the Government Code. It states that California is experiencing a housing shortage
of crisis historic proportions. To address the crisis, the Legislature has declared a statewide housing
emergency until 2025 and suspended certain restrictions on development of new housing during the
emergency. Among other things, the Legislature has suspended the ability of cities to establish or
implement any provision that:
(i)Limits the Number of land use approvals or permits necessary for the
approval and construction of housing that will be issued or allocated
within all or a portion of the affected county or affected city,
(ii)Acts as a cap on the number of housing units that can be approved or
constructed either annually or for some other time period, or
(iii)Limits the population of the affected county or affected city.
Government Code 66300 (b)(1)(D); and
WHEREAS, on February 23, 2021 the City of Carlsbad received an opinion from HCD (Attachment
A) which states:
The City's GMP appears to be designed to assure that housing development in the City
and the provision of public services are closely aligned (City of Carlsbad Mun. Code, §
21.09.010.) However, the City's GMP establishes growth cap numbers city-wide and by
quadrant. Moreover, the City's GMP mandates that the City shall not approve any
General Plan amendment, zone change, tentative subdivision map or other
discretionary approval for a development which could result in the development above
the limit in any quadrant. The establishment of such growths caps and development
restrictions contradicts Government Code section 66300, subdivision (b)(1)(D).
Accordingly, HCD is of the opinion that such a growth cap under the GMP cannot
permissibly be implemented consistent with Government Code section 66300.
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 172 of 187
WHERAS, additional communication with HCD explained the GMP residential unit caps could
not prevent consistency with the Housing Element inventory [Gov. Code 65583(a)(3)] and SB 166 [Gov.
Code § 65863(a)];
WHEREAS, if the City of Carlsbad does not address HCD's concerns and refuses to certify the
City housing element in compliance with state law, the City would lose the ability to control residential
development. More specifically, the Government Code places the burden on a city to deny housing
development projects, and requires a city to adopt specific findings for denial or a reduction in
residential density. (Gov. Code, §§ 65589.5(d) and (j), 65863.) This includes findings that (A) a city has
adopted a housing element in substantial compliance with state law, (B) a city has met or exceeded its
RHNA allocation, and (C) that denial of a housing project is consistent with a city's general plan,
including the housing element. (Gov. Code, §§ 65589.5(d)(1).) If these findings cannot be made, a city
is generally required to approve a housing project. (Id.) The City is also explicitly precluded for relying
upon a land use inconsistency as grounds for denial of a housing project where it does not have a
certified housing element. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5(d)(5)(B).);
WHEREAS, Under the California Constitution article XI, section 7 a city may not enact local laws
that conflict with "general" or state laws. Local legislation that conflicts with the general laws of the
state is void, including Growth Management Plans; California Building Industry Assoc. v. City of
Oceanside (1994) 27 Cal.App.4th 744, 760-761. Cohen v. Board of Supervisors (1985) 40 Cal 3d 277,
290; similarly, previously valid laws which become inconsistent with state law are also void and
unenforceable. Friends of Lagoon Valley v. City of Vacaville (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 807, 830; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, the City's preemption findings
which simply recognize controlling state law do not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and therefore does not require environmental review.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as
follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference
to include Attachment A as findings set forth in full.
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 173 of 187
2.Consistent with Updated Housing Element Program 2.2, the City Council finds that
Government Code Sections 65583(a)(3) and 65863(a) (SB 166 [20171) and Government
Code Section 66300(b)(1)(D) (SB 330 [2019]) preempt the city from implementing
residential growth management plan caps, residential quadrant limits, and residential
control points. Consequently, the City finds that it cannot and will not enforce these
residential caps, quadrant limits, and control points, including but not limited to those
contained in the General Plan (including, but not limited to the Land Use and
Community Design Element Table 2-3, Section 2.6, Policy 2-P.8(a) and (b), Policy 2-
P.16(d), and Policy 2-P.57), Growth Management Plan (Proposition E); City Council Policy
Statement No. 43, Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.90 including but not limited to
CMC §§ 21.90.030 (b), 21.90.045 and 21.90.185.
3.If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this resolution is for any reason
held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the
resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution
and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof, irrespective of the
fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be
declared invalid or unconstitutional.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of
Carlsbad on the 6th day of April, 2021, by the following vote, to wit:

Dear Celia Brewer:
RE: Request for HCD Opinion on Enforceability of City’s Growth Cap
Letter of Technical Assistance
This letter is to assist the City of Carlsbad (City) in the implementation of Government
Code 66300, part of the Housing Crisis Act (Senate Bill 330) of 2019, as requested in the City’s letter dated August 04, 2020. The City’s letter requested the opinion of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as to the enforceability of the City’s growth cap provisions within the Growth Management Program (Proposition E or GMP). For the reasons explained below, HCD finds that the
City’s growth cap provisions to be impermissible under Government Code section 66300, subdivision (b)(1)(D).
HCD’s opinion is based on the mandatory criteria established by the Legislature with the passage of SB 330 in 2019, also known as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which
added section 66300 to the Government Code. The State of California is experiencing a housing supply shortage of crisis proportions. To address this crisis, the Legislature declared a statewide housing emergency until 2025 and suspended certain restrictions on development of new housing during the emergency period. (Housing Crisis Act of 2019, Chapter 654, Statues of 2019, section 2(b).) Among other things, the Legislature
suspended the ability of cities and counties to establish or implement any provision that: (i) “Limits the number of land use approvals or permits necessary for the approval and construction of housing that will be issued or allocated within all or a portion of the affected county or affected city,” (ii) “Acts as a cap on the number of housing units that can be approved or constructed either annually or for some other time period,” or (iii)
“Limits the population of the affected county or affected city.” (Gov. Code, § 66300, subd. (b)(1)(D).
Attachment A
Nov. 18, 2021 Item #1 Page 175 of 187
The City’s GMP appears to be designed to assure that housing development in the City
and the provision of public services are closely aligned (City of Carlsbad Mun. Code, § 21.09.010.) However, the City’s GMP establishes growth cap numbers City-wide and by quadrant. Moreover, the City’s GMP mandates that the City shall not approve any General Plan amendment, zone change, tentative subdivision map or other
discretionary approval for a development which could result in the development above
the limit in any quadrant. The establishment of such growths caps and development restrictions contradicts Government Code section 66300, subdivision (b)(1)(D). Accordingly, HCD is of the opinion that such a growth cap under the GMP cannot permissibly be implemented consistent with Government Code section 66300.
Thank you for reaching out to HCD for this guidance. Please contact Melinda Coy of our staff, at Melinda.Coy@hcd.ca.gov, with any questions.
