GUIDELINES ON DEVELOMENT OF SECOND
DWELLING UNITS
I Approved:
Purpose of Guidelines:
To assist the Housing Commission and City CounciVHousing and Redevelopment
Commission or Planning Commission in review of projects which have proposed
development of Second Dwelling Units to meet the requirements to produce affordable
housing units under the City of Carlsbad’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
To assist housing developers to better understand the desires of the Housing Commission,
and City Council/Housing and Redevelopment Commission or Planning Commission to
produce quality affordable housing which appropriately meets the needs of the Carlsbad
community.
To assist City staff as they work with housing developers to satisfl their affordable
housing obligations under the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
Guidelines:
The Guidelines developed by the Housing Commission and adopted by the City Council
are as follows:
1. Size Limits: The units shall be no larger than 640 square feet (per the Second
Dwelling Unit Ordinance) and no smaller than 400 square feet, unless compelling
evidence is presented by the developer which justifies a smaller size unit.
2. Design Features: Same as those required by the Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance,
with the addition that the second dwelling unit must provide a one (1) bedroom floor
plan if the unit can be accessed directly from the main dwelling unit.
3. Affordability: The affordability requirements shall be the same as those set forth
within the Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance.
4. Occupancy Restrictions: There shall be no restrictions on the total household income
for occupancy purposes. If the unit is rented, however, the rent must be set at a rate
which is affordable to households at 80% or below of the San Diego County Median
Income. This is the same as the Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance.

Form of Restrictions: The form of the restriction on the property shall be the same as
that indicated within the Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance, with the addition that the
Affordable Housing Agreement be recorded against the property as well.
Monitoring: An annual review of the second dwelling units will be completed using a
random sampling of existing units. It is anticipated that the sampling will include an
appropriate representation @.e., 20% approximately) of the units which have been
constructed as of the date of the review/monitoring visit.
Other Limitations: As a general guideline, second dwelling units can be used to
satisfy the entire affordable housing requirement for housing projects which have less
than 100 units total. For projects which provide for 100 units or more, the general rule
shall be that no more than 20% of the total inclusionary housing requirement may be
satisfied through the development of second dwelling units. This guideline limit is in
addition to the language in the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance which requires City
Council/Housing and Redevelopment Commission and/or Planning Commission to
give final approval to allow any use of second dwelling units as an alternative to
otherwise required construction of new inclusionary units.
Applicabilitv :
As Guidelines, the above criteria have flexibility for application purposes. On a case by
case basis, the City Council/Housing and Redevelopment Commission, Planning
Commission and/or Housing Commission may consider projects for approval which are
not entirely consistent with these guidelines, if the projects are otherwise deemed
appropriate and consistent with the Second Dwelling Unit Ordinance. These guidelines
do not amend any existing ordinance related to the Second Dwelling Units or
Inclusionary Housing requirements.
