Housing Plan Update
Housing Plan Update
The City of Carlsbad is updating its housing plan, something required by state law to ensure the city is meeting the housing needs of all members of the community. This includes updating city housing policies and designating space for about 3,900 new housing units by 2029, of which about 2,100 units need to be affordable for people with very low to moderate incomes.
To put this in perspective, the city currently has about 54,000 housing units. Housing units could include single family homes, apartments, condos and accessory dwelling units (also known as granny flats).
If you’d like to learn more about the city’s housing plan before taking this survey, watch this video.
That’s it. The next step is for city staff to review all the input and share it with the Housing Element Advisory Committee and City Council (this is expected in late August/early September). In the meantime, you can learn more about the housing plan update by visiting the city’s website.
