AB #19,949
Ed Shafer representing SANDAG. Topics goals and purpose of the 2050 forecast, regional growth, housing,etc. Produce a regionwide growth forecawt that is accurate. produce a subrgional forcast for the region
serves juridications for their general plans, etc. pop to grow 1.3 million by 2050 450k additional housing units. increae of 500k jobs. wher is it coming from. Natural increase birth/death in the region. Slide showing how close their forecasts have been to show accuracy. sometimes over estimate and sometime under estimate. age group structures age sex graphs,
steps in the forecasting process. convert general plans for jurisdictions to see where additional growth can occur. estimateing existing plans and policies ep housing and job capacity, starts with existing general plans, includes constraints to development, natural constraints, habitat, steep slopes floodplains, bult enviormnet existing buildings and ingrastructure, policies,parking requirements.
anticipated growth and estimated capacity regionwide. then reviewed regional housing units and jobs, etc.
2040-2050 we run out of housing. need to increase density. in carlsbad 42000 housing units, have capacity of 65000 units. regional smart growth maps throughout the entire region. throughout carlsbad 4 smart growth areas, on existing 3 potential areas. Where do we go from here?
asked for authorization of staff to continue to work with SANDAG to look forward about where to put more housing. conclude presentation Blackburn asked: cooperative effort between sandag and staff. we are happy planning city according to residents needs but sandag asks for things residents don't want. Which is it happy cooperative effort or required changes? Ed said we work in cooperation, make general plan suggestions without asking first. Susan Baldwin sandag, regional housing needs assessment. She said the state makes some mandates so that's the stuff that sandag is more firm about when directing the city. that's what drives the housing element process-state law. But SANDAG does work with how the regional number from the state gets allocated. SB 375 requires sandag to better intergrate tranportation plan, growth forecast and housing needs.
Kulchin 1986 citizens voted on growth management plan, how does this forecasting effect? do you take that into consideration. They said yes because that growth mangment plan is reflected in the general plan and that's what they work with. Packard-which is it-do we have a choice or not? Hall- he thinks sandag is saying there will be a lot of give and take over the next 40 years. values questions for community-open space important to us. how do we as cities that come together, that work to balance out all the housing needs.
Mayor's problem, that sandag pushed housing to the coast instead of spreading it out more in the east county where there is more open space undeveloped areas. need more east west connectors in transportation corridors.
Susan added-with respect to eastern areas, gather forecast data. El Cajon 17k additional units they're taking. some areas are asking to take more units. been saying for 20 years that we have shortage in housing. carlsbad does have potential areas for more housing.

Rebuttal by poseidon-Chris Garret, lawyer who works for poseidon. He said all the documents coast keeper brought tonight were intentially brought after 5 so council could not review them. Refer to his letter submitted to council earlier.
He refuted all of mr. gonzales comments so just refer to the letter. the stand alone anaylsis is something to comment on. precise pipeline analysis. Project will not be using more energy than originally approved. made it a better project.
some of the written materials claims that internal emails between staff saying we wouldn't comply with mitigation measures. He says that is not true.

13. AB # 19,949 - SANDAG 2050 REGIONAL GROWTH FORECAST. To receive a presentation from SANDAG regarding the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast. ACTION:
AB #19,949
Ed Shafer representing SANDAG. Topics goals and purpose of the 2050 forecast, regional growth, housing,etc. Produce a regionwide growth forecawt that is accurate. produce a subrgional forcast for the region
serves juridications for their general plans, etc. pop to grow 1.3 million by 2050 450k additional housing units. increae of 500k jobs. wher is it coming from. Natural increase birth/death in the region. Slide showing how close their forecasts have been to show accuracy. sometimes over estimate and sometime under estimate. age group structures age sex graphs,
steps in the forecasting process. convert general plans for jurisdictions to see where additional growth can occur. estimateing existing plans and policies ep housing and job capacity, starts with existing general plans, includes constraints to development, natural constraints, habitat, steep slopes floodplains, bult enviormnet existing buildings and ingrastructure, policies,parking requirements.
anticipated growth and estimated capacity regionwide. then reviewed regional housing units and jobs, etc.
2040-2050 we run out of housing. need to increase density. in carlsbad 42000 housing units, have capacity of 65000 units. regional smart growth maps throughout the entire region. throughout carlsbad 4 smart growth areas, on existing 3 potential areas. Where do we go from here?
asked for authorization of staff to continue to work with SANDAG to look forward about where to put more housing. conclude presentation Blackburn asked: cooperative effort between sandag and staff. we are happy planning city according to residents needs but sandag asks for things residents don't want. Which is it happy cooperative effort or required changes? Ed said we work in cooperation, make general plan suggestions without asking first. Susan Baldwin sandag, regional housing needs assessment. She said the state makes some mandates so that's the stuff that sandag is more firm about when directing the city. that's what drives the housing element process-state law. But SANDAG does work with how the regional number from the state gets allocated. SB 375 requires sandag to better intergrate tranportation plan, growth forecast and housing needs.
Kulchin 1986 citizens voted on growth management plan, how does this forecasting effect? do you take that into consideration. They said yes because that growth mangment plan is reflected in the general plan and that's what they work with. Packard-which is it-do we have a choice or not? Hall- he thinks sandag is saying there will be a lot of give and take over the next 40 years. values questions for community-open space important to us. how do we as cities that come together, that work to balance out all the housing needs.
Mayor's problem, that sandag pushed housing to the coast instead of spreading it out more in the east county where there is more open space undeveloped areas. need more east west connectors in transportation corridors.
Susan added-with respect to eastern areas, gather forecast data. El Cajon 17k additional units they're taking. some areas are asking to take more units. been saying for 20 years that we have shortage in housing. carlsbad does have potential areas for more housing.
