CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2004- 065
THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT
WITH HALL LAND COMPANY, INC., TO ALLOW A HOUSING ALTERNATIVE
THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO SECOND DWELLING UNITS TO
SATISFY THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING REQUIREMENT FOR THE
NORTHPARK AT LA COSTA SUBDIVISION.
APPLICANT: NORTHPARK AT LA COSTA SUBDIVISION
CASE NUMBER: CT02-25
WHEREAS, on June 18,2003, the Planning Commission approved the Northpark at La
Costa subdivision to allow for the development of 12 single family homes on property located on
the north side of Lavante Road, between La Costa Avenue and Centella Street, and which
includes a requirement to provide two housing units affordable to low income households per the
City of Carlsbad’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the developer of the Northpark at La Costa subdivision has proposed to
meet the project’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requirement with an alternative housing
solution which would result in the developer providing two second dwelling units within the
market rate development which will be affordable to low income households; and
WHEREAS, the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance allows, at the discretion of the City
Council, a housing alternative when the proposed alternative supports specific housing policies
and goals and a determination is made that the new construction would be infeasible or present
unreasonable hardship; and
WHEREAS, based upon the City Council’s determination that it would be financially
infeasible and would represent an unreasonable hardship upon the subject developer to make two
of the single family homes within the subject development affordable to low income households
and the proposed alternative to satisfy the inclusionary requirement through the construction of
two second dwelling units on the site of the market rate development does meet the goals of the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and the City’s Housing Element; and

WHEREAS, the City Council did hold a public meeting to consider the developer’s
request to approve an affordable housing agreement to allow two second dwelling units to satisfy
the inclusionary housing requirement for the Northpark at La Costa subdivision located on the
north side of Lavante Road, between La Costa Avenue and Centella Street; and
WHEREAS, upon hearing and considering all testimony, if any, of all persons desiring
to be heard, said City Council considered all factors relating to the proposed inclusionary
housing alternative.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Carlsbad, California, does hereby find as follows:
1. The above recitations are true and correct.
2. The developer’s proposal to provide two second dwelling units affordable to low
income households on the site of the market rate development as an alternative to
constructing two single family homes and making them affordable to low income
households to satisfy the inclusionary housing requirement for the Northpark at La
Costa subdivision is consistent with the goals and objectives, and serves the priorities
of, the City of Carlsbad’s Housing Element, Consolidated Plan, the Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance, and the Carlsbad General Plan.
3. As required by Section 21.85.070 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the City Council
hereby finds that the requirement to construct two single family homes and make
them affordable to low income households within the Northpark at La Costa market
rate development would be financially infeasible and would present an unreasonable
hardship on the developer due to the development’s small project size of 12 units and
the substantial subsidy required to make those units affordable to a low income
household.
4. That based on the information provided within the City Council staff report and
testimony presented during the public meeting of the City Council, the City Council
hereby approves an Affordable Housing Agreement, in substantially the form
presented and subject to final approval by the City Attorney, to allow two second
dwelling units on the site of the market rate development as an acceptable housing
alternative to providing two single family homes affordable to low income
households to satisfy the Inclusionary Housing requirement for the Northpark at La
Costa subdivision.
