1. INTRGDUCTION
This housing element of the general plan is intended to provide citizens and
public officials of Carlsbad with an understanding of the housing needs of the
community and to rievelop an integrated set of goals, policies and programs
.which can assist the community in meeting those needs. Volume 1 includes . Goals, Policies, and Action Programs as well as Implementation Procedures and
. e Priorities. Volume 2 &ai lablk as reference includes an extensive Community
.. . .. Profile as well as discussion of constraints to housing deve?opmen't, definitions
*and special topics.
\ A.. * INTENT P.ND THEME OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT: -
. "HOUSING IN CARLSBAD 1980-1985; DEVELOPMENT AND PRESERVATION
In the course of citizen participation efforts in preparing th'is document,
two major themes have emerged as crucial to dealing with housing issues
in Carlsbad over the next five,years. The first of these themes is the
city's need to deal with the continuing growth and development of the
community.

all kinds. The goals of the element should provide a basis for reviewing
day to day issues and serve as one basis for eiraluating a1ternati:~es. The
element when viewed as a comprehensive housing,strategy also provides the
city with a framework to respond to regional, state and federal housing
anitiates and to evaluate state and federal programs for local use. As a
comprehensive housing strategy, the element also informs all residents of the
community of the consensus goals, policies and'priorities which have been
.- developed to attempt to meet "the housing needs of all economic segments of
* the community." c
. .- . ..* -
2 . B. STATE OF CALIFORNIA LAY AND REQUIREMENTS
Section 65302(c) of the Government Code requires a housing elercent as a
mandatory component' of a city's general plan. This requirement reflects a
legislative judgmenr that local planning and program commitment are needed
in order to meet the state's housing needs and goals. The state legislature
<' ,
LI
has established general standards to be followed in the development of a
housing element, A housing element must consist *- of standards and plans for
the improvement of housing and for provision of adeqr;ate sites for housing. ..
The element must consider all aspects of current housing technology including
- site built housing and manufactured housing. 'In addition, the element must
make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of
the community. .. .. I.
t e
t' ' 1'
Finally, the element must be developed pursuant to regulations
established under Health and Safety Code Section 50459 (Section
65302(c) California Government Code). The Department of Housing
and Community Development issued Housing Element guidelines in
November, 1977. These guidelines establish criteria against
which local compliance with the requirements of Section 65302(c)
, can be measured. This.housing elementlwas developed pursuant to
the State Housing Element Guidelines and the Housing Element
Manual prepared by the Department-of Housing and Community
Development, in an effort to.meet the intent of the state
legislative mandate.
C. GENERAL-PLAN RELATIONSHIPS
California law requires that general plans contain an integrated,
internally consistent set of policies. The housing element is
most affected by development policies contained in'the land use
element which establishes the location, type, intensity and
distribution of land uses throughout the city. The housing
element has beendrafted to reflect consistency with the land use
element which for reasons of'safet'y, geology, open space, noise,
among others, declars that certain areas are to be preserved or
a
.
developed with non-residential uses. The housing element does
not suggest specific sites for particular types of housings. The
element does recommend general areas and locational criteria for
future housing development. An effort was made to make these
recommendations consistent with the land use element. To the
extent that conficts arise between the housing element and the
land use element, the policies of the land use element shall
,
prevail provided, however, that provision of lower income housing
shall be considered as a factor for allowing development above
the "guaranteed" densities identified in the land use element,
and provided further that in master planned or specific planned
areas in which low and moderate income rental units are provided
density increases of no more than 50% of the maximum residential
density specified in the Land Use Element may be permitted by the
City Council (see V-131. For those areas of the city with
density ranges of 0-4 dwelling units per acre, a density increase
of up to 25% may be granted to allow provision of low and
moderate income housing (see V-121. If it becomes clear that the
goals of this housing element cannot be met within the locations
and densities established for residential development by the land
use element, the land use element may be amended.
Goal-Setting.and.the.Land-Use-Element
This Housing Element uses the residential guidelines of the
city's adopted Land Use Element as a policy framework for
developing more specific goals and policies in the housing
element. Although the Land Use Element enumerates 16 different
guideli-_n_zs fsr residential development, they encompass five main
themes. These are:
' 1. Preservation - Preserve the neighborhood atmosphere, -
retain the identity of existing neighborhoods, maximize
open space and ensure slope preservation. ..
2. Choice - Ensure a variety of housing types, a choice of
all economic ranges, wide range of housing types;
apartments, townhouses, etc., different styles and price
levels in a variety of locations.

_. Medium and High Density. Compatibility with Surroundings
and Services - Provide close-in living and .convenient
shopping in the commercial core. Limit and encourage
large scale development of apartments in areas most
appropriate from standpoint df convenience and access.
Housing-Needs - Utilize programs to revitalize
deteriorating areas or those with high potential for
deterioration; seek to provide low and moderate income
housing .

-Now several years old the land use element continues to be instructive and has
formed one basis for the goals of the housing element.

D. LOGAL RESPONSISILiTY: .. * *
. . .... IMPLEMENYATiON, EVALUATION AND REVIEW
.. The. Housing Element includes five general goals, ten major policy areas and 46
recommended act ion programs. The implementat -. ion, of' the act ion programs
\
presents a formidabfe task for local officials. Obviously, not all tasks can be given
-2 equaf weight and attention. Section 111 of this Housing Element highlights those
policies and programs which because of tdth state guidelines and local needs should
be given priority. This Sect ion attempts to assign responsibility for implementat ion
of the program. It should be noted that ultimate responsibility lies, of course, with
.- the Carlsbad City Council, which may assign staff and resources to carry out p2r-
tlcular responsibilities under its own guidance or under that of appointed review
bodies. The following chart lists each of the element's 46 recommended action
programs with suggested staff and review responsibilities. Those appointed bodies
* with review and evaluation responsibilities will be assigned apprbpriate staffiig as
Indicated in the chart. The chart also includes suggested fund sources. All actions -.
* are subject to final directives by the Carlsbad City Council.

to response to new development, while the final three policies involve organ-
ization, equal opportunity and update. Following each of the policies are
specific action programs designed to carry out the policy.

111-2 - Continue the existing Section 8 Housing Assistance
Program (240 units seeking revised rents from the
Department of Housing and urban Development consistent
with coastal area market' prices.
111-3 - Apply to the Department of.Housing and Urban
Develoment for an addititmalaunits of Section 8
assisted housing to be phased over the five year time
frame of this Housing Element (1980-1985). The allocation
of these units between elderly and non-elderly households
would be determined by funding priorities of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development and the City
' of Carlsbad Housing and Community Development Commission.
111-4 --Conduct-a-citywide-referendum requesting authority
to;develop as many as 250 new units of-family (affordable) s
housing-on-scattered sites throughout Carlsbad.
111-5 - Conduct a citywide referendum (preferably at a
general election) specifically requesting authority to
develop as many as 250 new units of senior citizen housing
on scattered sites in Carlsbad. Sites would be possible
in any of the city's four geographic quadrants but they
should be consistent with site selection criteria outlined
under Policy VI (Adequate Sites). Successful referendum
will allow the city to explore public housing as
development alternative. (Referendum.was-passed 11/80).

of rights of occupancy, write-down of land and development
costs and operating assistance for qualified units .
TIT-7 - Establish a Housing Development Fund to assist in
land purchase or write down costs for development of lower
income housing. Sources of such funds may be state rental
construction funds, portions of annual CDBG grant not used
for rehabilitation or state or federal contributions to
~
non-profit housing sponsors. In addition,.any funds
accruing to the city as a result of in-lieu fees for
coastal zone new construction will be added to the Housing
Development Fund to assist in the development of low and
moderate income housing.
111-8 - Condominiums and condominium conversions'will
constitute a significant part of the city's stock of
__L_
affordable housing. 'It is a definite objective and policy
of this plnn to insure that the design and location of
condominium buildings and the quality of the project be
reasonably consistent and compatible with other types of
separate ownership housing. In order for the standards
for new condominium construction to be valid, it is also
necessary to apply the same standards to condominium
conversions. In order to insure that all condominiums
offered for sale meet the city's goals, the city also
wishes to give consideration to the need to reduce and
,' , L '.
\I
mitigate the
forced to re
impact of conversions on tenants who are
ocate. I- 'is the policy of the city to
reduce and mitigate these adverse impacts by providing
adequate notification procedures and relocation
assistance, including requiring the person converting the
condominiums to make payment toward relocation and moving
costs and the city to provide additional counseling,
referral and other services to aid the tenants being
displaced in finding replacement housing,
POLICY IV.

Major policy and program suggestions of ..he Housing Element relate to this
priority. The city’s major efforts in adequate provision should be comniitted to
acceptit‘g its fair share allocation of. low-income units, applying to HUB for addi-
tional Section 8 assisted units, conducting a successful referendum for senior citizen ..
housing and developing senior citizen housing on scattered sites in the city. These
pricsr%ies are sciected for several reasons: there is a pressing need for low-income
fa’mily and elderly units, pursuing the courses outlined above would more than meet
the city’s ‘good faith” goals for its lower income fair share al.location, article 34
referenda for senior citizen busing are usually successful, and with a succes‘ful
referendum the city would have a wide variety of options open to it as to how to
develop the senior citizen housing. Major additional work ?o be undertaken under
this priority is a new Section 8 ippiication, organizing a referendum, and presenting

STAFF REPORT
e
DATE : August 26, 1981
TO : Planning Commission
FROM : Planning Department
SUBJECT: GPA-60 HOUSING ELEMENT
I. BACKGROUND
The city's existing Housing Element was approved by the City Council on October 28, 1980. Following approval it was sent to
the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
After a substantial amount of time, HCD notified the city that the Housing Element could not be certified until Carlsbad made
firmer commitments to its proposed programs and included the lat- est assisted housing numbers (Carlsbad's share of low income units) provided in the Areawide Housing Opportunity Plan (AHOP). At that time the City requested more specifics from HCD on the types of changes needed to make the Housing Element certifiable.
City staff met with HCD staff on July 7 and discussed the element in detail. HCD suggested a number of changes which would "strengthen" the Housing Element. Staff has made the changes proposed by HCD and has also added a few new programs to the Ele-
ment. The city now has the option to adopt these changes by Oct-
ober 1, 1981, or wait and revise the element under section 65586 of the Government Code, Elements certified prior to October 1 are allowed to be processed under the old Housing Element Guide- lines. Those elements certified after October 1 will be reviewed pursuant to Section 65586, which means meeting additional cri- teria. The new guidelines include requirements for establishing adequate sites including an inventory of possible sites for af- forable housing. It also appears that any changes required now
by HCD would also be required under the new guidelines.
c
11. PROPOSED CHANGES
The actual changes in the Element (attached) are emphasized by the underlining of additions to the text. Deletions are indi- cated by a broken line typed through each word deleted. An index of the changes is attached.
Major changes include the addition of the household assistance numbers on page 15 and the anticipated assisted units (number of units estimated to be generated by the various programs) on pages 8, 9 and 9a. A firmer commitment to the city's programs has been
established by replacing terms such as "may" and "could" with "shall" and "will".
0 e
New programs added to the element include a provision for fast-
tracking projects (p. 23), a program which has already been
adopted by the City Council. A second new program (p. 21) re-
quires that residential master or specific plans reserve areas
for low income housing. This program is already being utilized . in the city (e.g. Calavera Hills, La Costa). Another new program
(p. 22) allows a density bonus of 25% above maximum in low den- sity areas (RLM) providing that 50% of the bonus is applied to low income housing. This program requires a PUD and would allow for possible adjustments to PUD standards, providing that the
overall quality of the project is not significantly reduced.
111. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that it APPROVE GPA-60 for the following reasons:
1) The changes proposed are not dramatic and the city would be sacrificing little to obtain a certified housing element.
. 2) If the city waits until after October 1, it is likely that the same changes will be required plus additional criteria for certification.

Dear Mr. Aleshire:
We have reviewed the City of Carlsbad's proposed revisions to its Adopted Housing Element. expressed in our review letter of the City's housing element, dated April 13, 1981 (copy attached). to the City's housing e7ement, the document will meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65302(c) and the 1977 Housing Element Guidelines.
The document adequately addresses all of the concerns we
Once these revisions are adopted as an amendment
In accordance with our recommendations, the proposed revisions to the housing element include the following:
a. quantified objectives for implementing programs which indicate a level of effort which exceeds the state benchmark for a "good faith,
diligent effort," (consistent with AHOP goals) to provide for the housing needs of lower income households;
b. program statements which evidence the City's commitment to implement its proposed programs; and
standards to be used in evaluating the suitability of individual sites for nonmarket-rate housing. c.
We congratulate the City on the overall quality of the Adopted Housing Element includingtheproposed revisions and for the level of effort the City plans to undertake. ambitious housing program. to Charles Grimm of the City's Planning staff who has worked closely with Department staff to make revisions to the City's housing element which bring
