TODAY’S PRESENTATION
•Growth Management Overview
•Financing Measures
•Selected Case Studies
•Carlsbad Takeaways
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES
CARLSBAD FRAMEWORK
•The Growth Management Plan focuses on
adequate public facilities and limiting
residential growth
•Other city programs guide and regulate
growth, including the General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES
WHAT IS GROWTH MANAGEMENT?
•Use of techniques to determine the amount,
type, and rate of development, and to channel
that growth into designated areas.
•Carlsbad’s program focuses on concurrency, or
providing needed facilities for new
development at the time they are needed.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES
GROWTH MANAGEMENT
APPROACHES
•Focused view: control the rate of growth and
mitigate fiscal and environmental impacts
•Broader view: address broader goals through
transit-oriented development, smart growth, triple
bottom line (environment, economy and equity),
community health, or sustainable development
planning approaches
•Facilities financing is an important component of
both approaches
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES
IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS
Zoning and other land use regulations
Subdivision regulations
Special districts
Incentives
Monitoring
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES

FINANCING MEASURES
Impact fees
Subdivision dedications/exactions
Development agreements
Facilities districts and user fees
Bonds and broad-based taxes
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES

FOCUS ON IMPACT FEES
•Important source of funding due to state
and voter limitations on other funding
sources
•Mitigation Fee Act establishes requirements
•New development can only pay for impacts
of new growth
•Fees methodology can be based on
standards or master plans
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES
CASE STUDIES OVERVIEW
•Case studies were reviewed to learn from other
jurisdictions’ growth management programs
•Some cities and regions focus on open space
preservation, transit-focused development, and
regional coordination
•Other jurisdictions, like Carlsbad, focus on facilities
financing and timing of development
•Since Carlsbad has an up-to-date general plan that
addresses broader planning issues, the case studies
focus on public facilities
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN OTHER CITIES
California Case Studies
City of Novato
•Requires adequate
facilities
•Analysis and monitoring
•Environmental review
process
•Fair share payments
City of San Diego
•Changed focus from
new growth to infill and
redevelopment
•Transition from facilities
benefit assessments
to impact fees
•New parks fee reflects
systems approach
San Luis Obispo
•Limits housing supply to
one percent per year
•Requires phasing
schedules
•Exempts affordable,
downtown and ADU
housing
•Housing cap permitted
due to agricultural
county
Other Case Studies
Metro-Portland, OR
•State law requires urban
growth boundary to control
urban expansion
•Regional transportation
agency (Metro) administers
•Protects farms and forests,
promotes efficient use of
land and public facilities
Boulder, CO
•Concentrate urban
development in the city
and preserve rural
character outside
•Defines development areas
based on adequate urban
facilities
•Informs provision of service
decisions
Fort Collins, CO
•Uses Growth Management
Area to manage growth
outside city limits and
direct new growth inward
•Requires adequate public
facilities before
development
•Calls for annual updates to
multiyear CIP, a variety of
funding sources and
affordable housing
assistance
Other Case Studies, continued

•State law requires cities
and counties to develop
comprehensive plans
•Includes urban growth
boundaries, regional
planning, CIPs, indicators
and support for urban infill
•Requires plan updates
every 8 years
•King County success story
Includes a TDR plan with
Seattle
Montgomery County, MD
•Ties granting of
development permits to
infrastructure capacity
•Smart Growth Act created
Priority Funding Areas to
provide infrastructure
funding for designated infill
lands
State of Florida
•Concurrency was central
part of 1985 Growth
Management Act
•State and local
infrastructure to be
provided concurrent with
local permit approvals
•Funding to come from state
tax programs and impact
fees
•Funding was not adequate
and Act essentially
repealed in 2011
KEY TAKEAWAYS
•Carlsbad Growth Management Plan focuses on
facilities standards and financing
•Impact fees are an important funding source that
can be designed to meet multiple goals
•Regular monitoring, and alignment with city and
regional investments can contribute to
concurrency goals
•Toolbox approach may be used to provide a
flexible menu of quality of life implementation
measures
