Title

Housing Element Implementation and Public Safety Update

Description

The proposed project consists of amendments to the Carlsbad General Plan adopted in 2015 (“2015 General Plan”), including the Land Use and Community Design Element and Public Safety Element, and revisions to Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Title 21, the Zoning Ordinance, including the Zoning Map. The updates are necessary to implement the programs of the city’s Housing Element Update 2021-2029, which was adopted by the Carlsbad City Council on April 6, 2021, and comply with changes in state law. A major component of the project is the change of land use and zoning designations on 18 rezone sites throughout Carlsbad to facilitate residential development. Implementation of the rezone program under the proposed project would facilitate the development of 18 sites, which if developed would result in an increase of approximately 3,295 new housing units to the city’s housing stock. The rezones require changes to the General Plan and Local Coastal Program land use maps, Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map, and to various master and specific plans.
