District: 1 Recommended Action Adopt a resolution authorizing the Community Development Director and Real Estate Manager to negotiate with the agent for the North County Transit District on an agreement for managed parking within the Carlsbad Village area, including the Carlsbad Village Transit Station (Exhibit 1). Executive Summary Over the past several months, the North County Transit District (NCTD) has been pursuing efforts to redevelop its properties as a potential way of increasing ridership, supporting regional housing goals and generating ongoing revenue for the agency. The Carlsbad Village Transit Station along State Street, north of Grand Avenue, is one of the NCTD properties being considered for redevelopment. As part of this effort, NCTD recently reached out to city staff requesting the city’s participation in developing a parking agreement, including a possible joint-use parking structure, that could benefit Carlsbad Village Transit Station transit riders, future uses of the station site, and businesses and visitors in the surrounding Carlsbad Village area. The action being considered authorizes the Community Development Director and Real Estate Manager to initiate negotiations with the agent for NCTD on an agreement for managed parking within the Carlsbad Village area, including the Carlsbad Village Transit Station. Once developed, the draft agreement will be brought back to City Council for consideration and action. Explanation & Analysis The NCTD has recently been pursuing efforts to redevelop its properties as a potential way of increasing ridership, supporting regional housing goals and generating ongoing revenue for the agency. As part of that effort, NCTD is seeking to redevelop the two transit stations located within Carlsbad, the Poinsettia Co Transit aster Station along Avenida Encinas north of Feb. 6, 2024 Item #6 Page 1 of 17 Poinsettia Lane and the Carlsbad Village Transit Station along State Street, north of Grand Avenue. The City Council memorandum dated Jan. 19, 2023, (Exhibit 2) includes information and background on NCTD’s efforts to redevelop both stations. As of the writing of that memorandum, NCTD is continuing its negotiations with the selected developers; No formal development applications have been submitted to the city for processing and no additional information on the project’s scope have been released. Mayor Blackburn and Mayor Pro Tem Bhat-Patel, as the city’s representatives on the NCTD Board of Directors, received a letter from NCTD on Oct 31, 2023, (Exhibit 3) requesting the city’s participation in developing a parking strategy, including a possible joint-use parking structure, that could benefit Carlsbad Village Transit Station transit riders, future uses on the station site, and businesses and visitors in the surrounding Carlsbad Village area. With potential parking challenges in Carlsbad Village, especially considering the recent passage of Assembly Bill 2097, NCTD acknowledges that an expanded need for parking near and around the Carlsbad Village Transit Station would ensure a more complete planning effort as part of NCTD’s redevelopment effort. (AB 2097 imposed restrictions on the city's ability to impose minimum parking standards on new development projects, as detailed in Exhibit 4.) To assess opportunities to re-establish and/or address long-term parking needs, NCTD would like to begin discussions with city staff to identify goals and objectives for onsite, offsite and managed parking options within the Carlsbad Village area, including the Carlsbad Village Transit Station. As part of this discussion, NCTD would like to explore opportunities for a possible joint- use parking structure, potential alternative parking sites, continued use of existing city-leased parking spaces and potential realignment of infrastructure resulting from parking adjustments in the Village area. NCTD’s request coincides with several managed parking goals found within Section 4.5.2 of the city’s Village & Barrio Master Plan.1 These goals are to: • Make parking more convenient for community members, employees, and visitors. • Promote more efficient use of existing parking. • Support future parking needs and mobility options. • Explore options to make the downtown area more inviting. Section 4.5.2.D of the Village & Barrio Master Plan includes specific parking management strategies relative to shared and leased parking spaces in existing city facilities and NCTD facilities for public use. The Carlsbad Village, Barrio & Beach Area Parking Management Plan2 also includes similar parking management strategies as those listed in Village & Barrio Master Plan and includes a 1 The Village & Barrio Master Plan, which governs land use allowances within the Village and Barrio communities, was approved by the City Council on Aug. 27, 2019, and certified by the California Coastal Commission on Oct. 16, 2019. The land use policies and programs listed in the plan covers the area reflected in Exhibit 5. 2 The Carlsbad Village, Barrio and Beach Area Parking Management Plan, which provides short-, medium-, and long-term strategies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the parking system in the village and barrio communities, was approved by the City Council on Sep. 14, 2017. The parking strategies listed in the plan covers the geographic area reflected in Exhibit 6. Feb. 6, 2024 Item #6 Page 2 of 17 strategy to work with NCTD to investigate opportunities to incorporate public parking into future non-rail development on NCTD property. Staff find that NCTD’s Oct. 31, 2023, request helps advance the parking goals and management strategies set forth within city-adopted land use plans. Approval of the proposed resolution will provide clear authority and direction to initiate discussions with NCTD for the purpose of developing an agreement for managed parking within the Carlsbad Village area, including the Carlsbad Village Transit Station and to return to the City Council with that agreement for consideration and action. Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed action. Any fiscal impacts associated with implementation of the agreement will be presented at the time the agreement is brought forward for City Council consideration and action. Next Steps Once authorized, the Community Development Director and Real Estate Manager will initiate discussions with the agent for NCTD on the development of a parking strategy and preparation of an agreement. Since NCTD’s negotiations with the selected developers are still ongoing, it is unclear when a draft agreement will be ready for City Council consideration. City staff will provide the City Council with a status report in July 2024 via a City Council memorandum, assuming an agreement is not developed sooner. Environmental Evaluation This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

NCTD initiated development efforts at this site on March 19, 2021, when it issued Task Order No. 06 to CBRE, Inc. (CBRE), NCTD’s On-Call Real Estate Service Provider. Through CBRE, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on April 8, 2022. After a robust proposal review process, the NCTD Board of Directors approved Sea Breeze Properties and Fabric Investments, a partnership, on January 19, 2023, as the development team for the Carlsbad Village Transit Station. The redevelopment footprint includes the following: 1. Approximately 0.75-acre area currently leased to the City for City employee parking pursuant to NCTD Agreement number 229.40-576-PK-CSBD (City Parking Lease) 2. Approximately 0.26-acre parcel leased to the City for the depot building and adjacent property pursuant to NCTD Agreement number 229.2-229.3-0521- GL-CSBD 3. Approximately 0.44-acre parcel leased to the City for public parking pursuant to NCTD Agreement number 229.49-789-PK-CA With potential parking challenges in the village, especially in light of the recent passing of Assembly Bill 2097, NCTD acknowledges that an expanded need for parking near and around the Carlsbad Village Station would ensure a more Exhibit 3 Feb. 6, 2024 Item #6 Page 7 of 17 NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT 810 Mission Avenue Oceanside, CA 92054 (760) 966-6500 (760} 967-2001 (fax) GoNCTD.com Re: Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Project October 31, 2023 Page 2 of 2 complete planning effort as part of NCTD’s redevelopment effort. In order to assess opportunities to re-establish and/or address long-term parking needs, NCTD would like to begin discussions with City staff to identify goals and objectives for onsite, offsite, and managed parking options within the Carlsbad Village area, including the Carlsbad Village Station. As part of this discussion, NCTD would like to explore opportunities for a possible joint-use parking structure, potential alternative parking sites, and continued use of existing leased parking spaces. NCTD looks forward to collaborating with the City to jointly address the parking needs of both agencies and to ensure that the development of the Carlsbad Village Transit Station is compatible with the City’s long-term vision for the Carlsbad Village area.

Background On September 28, 2022, in response to the state housing crisis, Governor Newsom signed several legislative bills that focused on increasing housirtg'production in California. As with prior state legislative changes, many of the bills adopted limit or restrict local land use authority to make the local housing approval processes more administrative (by-right), with fewer local restrictions and limitations. However, one bill in particular, AB 2097 (Friedman), stands out from the rest as possibly the most impactive to the city's land use authority. Discussion Most cities, including Carlsbad, have historically required that new residential and commercial development provide onsite parking spaces to sufficiently accommodate occupants and customers and reduce impacts to neighboring land uses. The commonly applied parking standard is formula based, where the minimum number of required parking spaces is dependent upon the size and type of use being built. For example, Carlsbad requires one parking space for every 100 square feet of restaurant space, two parking spaces for each apartment unit with two or more bedrooms, and so on. Based largely on a body of academic research regarding the potential impacts minimum parking ratios have on car ownership, vehicle miles traveled, and use of public transit, the state legislat ure passed AB 2097, whkh added Government Code §65863.2, that effectively eliminates parking requirements in new residential and commercial developments when located within a half-mile of a major transit stop. For Carlsbad, the half-mile radius is measured from t wo qualifying stops: the Carlsbad Village Station (District 1) and the Poinsettia Station (District 3). According to the Assembly Floor Analysis1 on AB 2097, the study found that in buildings with no on- site parking, only 38% of households owned a car, but in buildings with at least one parking space per unit, the study found that more than 81% of households owned automobiles. As such, by eliminating 1 The Assembly Floor Analysis (AFA} Unit is a part of the CA State Assembly Chief Clerk's Office, who is responsible for providing the public and Assembly Members with analyses, prepared by committee staff, of every bill and amendment on the Floor.

Ultimately, the state legislature's intent with the passage of AB 2097, which is effective January 1, 2023, is that it will help drive down construction costs (making units more affordable), increase public transit ridership, and promote walkable and bikeable communities so people can get around without a car, which will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. The bill provides for limited exceptions for when parking can be required for new development and . includes provisions that allow the city to continue to apply minimum parking standards for electric vehicle charging stations as well as required parking spaces accessible to persons with disabilities, irrespective of distance from a major transit stop. To help staff and the public better understand the purpose of AB 2097 and the allowances under the new state law, an Informational Bulletin has been drafted (Attachment A). Maps of the properti~s affected by AB 2097, which will eventually be accessible via hyperlinks in the bulletin, have also been developed (Attachment B and C). Next Steps After the first of the year, the bulletin will be added to the Community Development Department Informational Bulletin Library, which is available on line and accessible to the public2. The bulletin includes severai hyperlinks to various reference documents, including the new state parking law and the new state building code. Since those codes are not effective until January 1, 2023, posting the informational bulletin sooner is not practical. Staff will continue to monitor any additional guidance provided from regulatory agencies (such as the California Coastal Commission or Governor's Office of Planning and Research) and update as appropriate.

BACKGROUND Most cities, including Carlsbad, have historically required that new residential and commercial development provide onsite parking spaces to sufficiently accommodate occupants and customers and reduce impacts to neighboring land uses.

The state legislature's intent with this action, which is effective January 1, 2023, is that it will help drive down construction costs (making units more affordable), reduce vehicle traffic, increase public transit ridership, and promote walkable and bikeable communities so people can get around without a car, which will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. NEW STATE LIMITS ON PARKING AREAS AFFECTED Pursuant to Government Code §65863.2(a), a city cannot impose or enforce any minimum automobile parking requirements on a residential, commercial, or other development project (except for hotels, motels, short- term rentals, or other transient lodging ---city parking standards still apply to those) if the project is located within one-half mile of public transit. The state defines public transit as a "major transit stop," containing any one of the following: • Fixed rail station • Bus rapid transit stop • Intersection of two or more major bus routes were buses stop every 15 minutes or less during peak commute periods • high-quality transit corridor included in a regional transportation plan Community Development Department I 1635 Faraday Ave. I carlsbad, CA 92008 I www.carlsbadca.gov Feb. 6, 2024 Item #6 Page 12 of 17 The city does not have any high-quality transit corridors per SANDAG's 2021 Regional Transportation Plan. And North County Transit District's Breeze bus system, does not meet the bus stop requirements and therefore does not qualify. Currently, there are only two locations in the city that meet the definition of public transit ---Carlsbad Village Station and Poinsettia Station. Maps have been provided showing those parcels that are subject to §65863.2. See "Documents Referenced" above. In cases where only a portion of the project site is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, the following standards must be met in order to be eligible. • At least 75% of the total project site is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop; and • At least 90% of the proposed residential units, or 100 units or more, whichever is less, are located one-half mile of a major transit stop. Projects failing to meet these requirements do not qualify for the allowances under §65863.2 and must meet current city parking standards. EV CHARGING & ADA PARKING Irrespective of proximity to public transit, state law allows the city to continue to apply minimum parking standards for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations as well as required parking spaces accessible to persons with disabilities (ADA). • For EV stations, the required number of EV parking spaces is provided in Table 5.106.5.3.1 of Carlsbad Municipal Code §18.21.040. The parking requirement is based on the total number of actual parking spaces that would have otherwise applied to the development if the state code section did not exist. Refer to 18-165 for an overview of the city's streamlining provisions and alternative standards for EV charging stations. Page2of3 • For ADA parking, the city applies the standards set forth in Chapter 1109A (multifamily) and Chapter 118 (commercial) of Title 24, Volume 1 of the 2023 CA Building Code. Like EV spaces, the total number of ADA spaces is based on the total number of actual parking spaces that would have otherwise applied to the development. EXEMPTIONS The city may apply its minimum parking standards if it makes written findings that failure to impose parking standards will result in one of the following to occur. • Hinders the city's ability to meet its share of low- and very low-income housing. Refer to IB-137 for more on the city's Housing Element and affordable housing requirements. • Hinders the city's ability to meet any special housing needs for elderly or persons with disability. Refer to the city's 2021-2029 Housing Element for more information . • The proposed "housing development project" will negatively impact existing residential or commercial parking that is located within one-half mile of the project. The state defines a housing development project as either: o A 100% residential development; or o Mixed-use development where at least two- thirds of the project is designed for residential use; or o Project includes transitional housing or supportive housing. The city exemption determination must be supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record showing that not imposing or enforcing minimum parking standards would have a substantially negative impact on the above IB-131_AB 2097 Parking Limits (DRAFT) Feb. 6, 2024 Item #6 Page 13 of 17 referenced development. The exemption finding must be made by the city within 30 days following receipt of a completed application. EXCEPTIONS TO THE EXEMPTIONS Government Code §65863.2(c) provides a list of specific project types that are not subject to the above exemption provisions. In other words, the city cannot impose minimum parking standards on the following housing development projects, irrespective of whether the above discussed exemption findings can be made. • The housing development project contains fewer than 20 housing units. • The housing development project dedicates a minimum of 20% of the total housing units to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households, students, elderly, or persons with disabilities. • The housing development project is subject to parking reductions based on the provisions of any other applicable law. As an example, the proposed development is a density bonus project, which offers reduced parking standards for development projects. Please refer to 18-112 for more on density bonus law. PARKING SPACES PROVIDED VOLUNTARILY When a project voluntarily provides parking, the city is limited to only imposing the following parking requirements: • The city may require that the voluntary parking spaces meet minimum location and design standards. • If a project voluntarily provides parking spaces, the city can require that the spaces be available to the public. IB-131_AB 2097 Parking Limits (DRAFT) • If a project voluntarily provides parking spaces, the city can require that a parking fee be charged to residents or customers for use. Conversely, the city cannot require that the voluntarily provided parking spaces be offered to the residents or customers free of charge.

Seeing agenda items 6 and 7 are adding to my concerns and those of my neighbors here in SeaGrove. To keep it brief, re: 6) Negotiating with NCTD re parking in the Village including the Train Station I'm sure you recall there was a lot of commentary from your constituents last week re increasing traffic and shortage of parking within the Village. The City Traffic Planner was asked how he determined that Carlsbad had sufficient infrastructure to handle all of the new development proposed. His answer was that the analysis was done on a macro level for the entire city and not specifically for any of the sites. In what world is that an adequate response? Is this the same team that will be negotiating with NCTD? Hope to learn more tonight. 7) Acceptance of the rezoning proposals. I believe it was Melanie Bukholder who asked where the housing units removed in siets 8 and 15 were going to be reallocated . She asked specifically if they were planning to add these to sites 14 and 17 (the rail stations).The City Planner would not answer so I expect that is the plan, as NCTD wants to maximize the density at those sites. Also I asked what number of units the city plans for in Site 14, as the density numbers and acreage quoted are conflicting.These questions needed to be answered before your vote last week. I have to add that the City has approved many projects in the past that conflict with the Village theme. Seaglass on State is a prime example; it is such a poor design that the builder can not even sell some of these units. Ocean 17 has flooding issues even before our recent rains. The grotesque box approved 6 years ago for the corner of State and Carlsbad Village Drive was vqted down by the Council only after a public outcry. Now the developer is back with another 45' plus version that does not remotely fit our village. Is there a point to having height and lot line restrictions if no common sense is used re the actual design and fit of the buildings .. Thanks for your attention, and hoping for answers!
