HOUSING - ZCA 11-07, based on the following findings:
12
13 Findings:
1. That the proposed Zone Code Amendment ZCA 11-07 is consistent with the General
15 Plan in that it implements:
16
a. Land Use Element Residential Goal A.l, which states Carlsbad is to provide
"...a variety of housing types and density ranges to meet the diverse economic
18 and social requirements of residents..."
j9 b. Housing Element Goal 3, which states "sufficient new, affordable housing
opportunities in all quadrants of the city to meet the needs of current lower and
moderate income households and those with special needs, and a fair share
21 proportion of future lower and moderate income households."
22 c. Housing Element Program 3.15, which specifically states the city will amend the
Zoning Ordinance to address transitional and supportive housing.
23
24 2. By amending all residential zones and some commercial zones to permit or
conditionally permit transitional and supportive housing and by providing
appropriate development standards for such housing (serving more than six
26 persons), ZCA 11-07 implements Government Code Section 65583 (c)(2); this
27 section requires cities to remove governmental constraints and identify sites to
facilitate and encourage development of a variety of housing for all income levels,
including transitional and supportive housing.
3. ZCA 11-07 amends the definition for "residential care facilities" to be consistent
with the definition found in state Health and Safefy Code 1502 and revises
development standards for residential care facilities.
4. ZCA 11 -07 reflects sound principles of good planning in that it:
a. Provides clear definitions and standards for transitional and supportive housing;
b. Amends the "permitted uses" table of each zone so it is clear where transitional
and supportive housing are permitted and conditionally permitted;
