2. That based on the information provided within the Planning Commission
Staff Report and testimony presented during the special public meeting of the
Housing Commission on July 10, 1997, the Commission recommends
approval of the subject affordable housing project subject to the following
findings and conditions:
FINDINGS:
1. The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City of Carlsbad's
Housing Element and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the Carlsbad General Plan, the Planned
Development Ordinance and the Hillside Development Ordinance.
2. The project will provide a total of four (4) second dwelling units (studios)
affordable for rent to households at 80% or below of the county median which
meets a "medium priority" affordable housing need as outlined within the City of
Carlsbad's approved 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan. The project, therefore, has the
ability to effectively serve the City's housing needs and priorities as expressed in
the Housing Element and the Consolidated Plan.
3. The proposed Second Dwelling Units are consistent with the Housing Commission
Guidelines on Second Dwelling Units used to meet the requirements of the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, which were approved by the Housing Commission
on May 8, 1997, based on the following features:
The proposed second dwelling units shall be 393 square feet in size which
meets the intent of the recommended Housing Commission policy on unit
size. The units are slightly smaller than the desired 400 square feet.
However, the Housing Commission has deemed the size to be acceptable and
consistent with the intent of their policy on size considerations.
Each second dwelling unit is consistent with the applicable design guidelines
for these type of units and are independent from the main home in that
access to the unit is provided through an exterior entrance. There is no direct
access to the main unit from the second dwelling unit.
The second dwelling units shall be affordable to households at 80% or less
of the San Diego County Median.

HC Resolution No. 97-008
The second dwelling units shall be rented according to the Second Dwelling
Unit Ordinance.
The related market-rate housing project is less than 100 units (29 units total)
which means that the project may meet 100% of its affordable housing
obligation through the construction of second dwelling units. The project
requirement for affordable housing purposes is 4.35 units and the applicant
shall provide 4 units through construction of second dwelling units and pay a
fee for the remaining .35 unit.
The subject project shall be restricted according to the Second Dwelling Unit
Ordinance and recordation of the related Affordable Housing Agreement
against the property.
CONDITIONS:
1. The Housing Commission has made its consistency finding for, and recommended
approval of, the subject project (Brookfield Meadows) based on the second
dwelling units shown on Site Development Plan 96-07, incorporated by reference
and on file in the Housing and Redevelopment and Planning Departments.
Development of the second dwelling units shall occur substantially as shown, unless
otherwise noted in the conditions of project approval by the City Council, and
include the following additional recommended development features :

and
b) An efficient sound-proof wall between the Second Dwelling Unit and the
main residence; and
c) A landing on the stairway to the entrance of the Second Dwelling Unit.
2. The Housing Commission’s consistency finding as related to SDP 96-07 is made
subject to the condition that the applicant submit an acceptable schedule for
construction of the required ratio of income restricted units for inclusion in the final
Affordable Housing Agreement to be approved prior to Final Map. The schedule
shall indicate acceptable construction phasing for the affordable units in relation to
the construction of the market rate units.

household size) for low income households with incomes equal to 80% or below of
the county median upon lease up of units and continuing for the full period of
