ACTION ON S U GG ESTE D MOD I F I CAT1 0 N S PRIOR COMMISSION ACTION ON THIS SUBMITTAL? - N - N/A SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT PROPOSAL To amend Chapter 21.85 of the Zoning Ordinance, the “lnclusionary Housing Ordinance.” The current Ordinance requires residential projects to either construct housing affordable to lower-income households or pay fees in-lieu of construction. The proposed amendment would, among other things, allow alternatives to new residential construction, add “extremely low income” as a new class of affordable housing and household, and provide incentive credits for developers to assist the City in meeting its affordable housing needs. Some of the changes are proposed to make the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance consistent with the regionally-adopted guidelines for the housing element self- certification pilot program. The recommended amendment, affecting properties city-wide, is not associated with any specific development project and does not propose any development. In California Coastal Commission Application for LCPA 99-06 March 16,2000 Page 2 addition, it does not affect any General Plan or zoning designation, allowable densities or land uses, or any environmental plan. Approval of the requested LCPA will ensure consistency between the City’s amended zoning regulations and the Local Coastal Program. The amendment does not propose any map changes. V. VI.

AMENDMENTS RELATIONSHIP TO AND AFFECT ON OTHER SECTIONS OF THE PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED LCP Changes proposed to the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance represent a zoning text amendment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program. It affects all six segments of the LCP. However, the proposed amendment revises only the affordable housing requirements contained in Chapter 21.85 of the Zoning Ordinance; no other sections of the previously certified LCP are affected. Additionally, the proposed amendment is not associated with any specific project and proposes no development, will not change any density, land use designation, or allowed or prohibited land uses, and will not affect any environmental plan. It will also not relieve any developer/project from full compliance with all applicable Coastal regulations. Approval of the proposed LCP Amendment would establish consistency with the City’s zoning regulations. 2. ZONING MEASURES THAT WILL IMPLEMENT THE LCPA A Zone Code Amendment (ZCA 99-08) was approved to achieve consistency with the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment. 3. AFFECT ON PUBLIC ACCESS The project area is Citywide. Consequently, the amended Code could be applied at a variety of residentially-developable locations. However, the amendment does not change any permitted or prohibited land uses nor any land use designations or development standards that might affect public access. It also does not relieve any developer/project from any otherwise applicable Coastal Zone regulations to provide public access. Therefore the project will have no affect on public access. 4. ANALYSIS OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON COASTAL RESOURCES The project will have no potentially significant adverse cumulative impacts on Coastal resources. The project proposes no development and will not change any land use designations or currently allowed or prohibited land uses. It will also not relieve any developer/project from full compliance with all applicable Coastal regulations.
