VOTE 2016 N SD ENC-001 CITY OF ENCINITAS (This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURE T Shall City Council Resolution No. 2016-52 and Ordinance No. 2016-04, which collectively update the City's General Plan Housing Element, amend related General Plan provisions, and amend Specific Plans, Zoning Code, Zoning Map, Municipal Code, and Local Coastal Program, in an effort to comply with State law, incentivize greater housing affordability, implement rules to protect the character of existing neighborhoods, maintain local control of Encinitas zoning, and resolve existing lawsuits, be adopted? This measure requires approval by a simple majority (over 50%) of the voters voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the argument and rebuttals. CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This Measure reflects City Council actions taken to bring the City into compliance with State housing law. The State of California requires that all cities, as part of the General Plan, prepare a legally adequate Housing Element and implement its programs. The City Council prepared this comprehensive Housing Program to comply with such State law, including without limitation, encouraging the production of more affordable housing. This Measure repeals the existing Housing Element of the General Plan, and enacts a new Housing Element that locates new potential housing sites, and incentivizes their development to allow for new housing, typically with mixed land uses. This Measure also creates a new land use designation in the General Plan's Land Use Element ("At Home in Encinitas") that allows existing uses to continue and thrive, while encouraging their transition to residential housing over time. This Measure also amends the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element to allow for three-story buildings, and amends the Noise Element to resolve internal inconsistencies and reflect contemporary noise standards for mixed land uses. This Measure amends the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan to provide additional sites that accommodate mixed land uses involving residential housing, to remove prohibitions on ground floor housing, except in key centers, and to allow all lawful means of subdividing land regardless of housing type. The Downtown Encinitas, Encinitas Ranch and Cardiff-by-the-Sea Specific Plans are also amended by this Measure to provide additional sites that accommodate mixed land uses involving residential housing. This Measure also amends the City Zoning Code by adopting a new Chapter 30.36 to provide implementation standards relative to the new General Plan Housing Element, amended Land Use Element and other amendments relative to the City's "At Home in Encinitas" Housing Program, including without limitation, new Design Guidelines to provide for development quality, the rezoning of existing sites to provide for adequate housing and to implement the amended General Plan Land Use Element's land use map, and related changes required for consistency between the General Plan amendments, Specific Plan amendments and Zoning Code. This Measure also amends Chapter 30.00 of the City Zoning Code to allow three-story buildings on those sites designated "At Home in Encinitas." However, in the Cardiff Town Center area, the height is limited to two stories. This Measure amends the Local Coastal Program by making a required request for California Coastal Commission certification of the changes to the land use policy and implementation framework to guide development in the Coastal Zone due to the above-described amendments to the General Plan, Specific Plans, Zoning Code and Municipal Code that this Measure brings about. The Encinitas City Council referred this Measure to the voters pursuant to Proposition A, which is codified in Encinitas Municipal Code Chapter 30.00, and further pursuant to the Settlement Agreements between the City and the Building Industry Association of San Diego County (BIA) and between the City and DCM Properties, Inc.

PR-09VO-002 N SD ENC-003 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE T Vote YES on the Encinitas Housing Plan. Measure T will update the City's housing plan and provide for future housing in Encinitas. Measure T was developed in public, by the public. This is YOU R plan—the "environmentally superior alternative" —developed after more than 140 public meetings. This plan puts any added growth in areas where it makes the most sense, taking into account economic vitality, neighborhood characteristics and traffic. A Yes vote helps Encinitas retain its local land use control and brings the city into compliance with California housing laws. It reduces taxpayer risk from lawsuits like the three already filed against the City related to compliance with state housing law. A Yes vote approves rules that require new housing to be compatible with the city's community character, but does not approve any specific projects. A Yes vote affects less than 1% of the city's total land area, distributed fairly across Encinitas. AYes vote will enable more housing choices for seniors, millennials, first time home buyers, and young families. This could be your parents, adult children, or even you as your needs change. If we don't pass Measure T, a judge could impose a housing plan for future growth, or the city could lose its ability to make local land use decisions. Nothing would ruin our cherished community character faster than losing our self-determination when it comes to development. A"No" vote could mean protracted and expensive legal battles, paid for by you, the taxpayers. This housing plan allows for smaller, more accessible and affordable homes, and brings the city into compliance with California law. This is your opportunity to vote on the housing plan. Use your right to vote and vote YES. KRISTIN GASPAR LISASHAFFER Mayor Deputy Mayor MARK MUIR Council Member CATHERINE BLAKESPEAR TONY KRANZ Council Member Council Member PR-09VO-003 N SD ENC-004 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE T In the ballot measure description and the argument in favor, NOTHING describes precisely what you are asked to approve: NO mention of UPZONING, NO mention of commercial and residential MIXED USE, NO mention of reduced parking requirements on new projects, NO mention of increased building heights to 48 feet, NO requirement of one single affordable house to be built, NO mention of the windfall profits for lucky property owners, and NO mention of the increases in traffic, carbon emissions, and strains on infrastructure. Only by reading all 230 pages of the measure do you know all the details. Design guidelines such as parking and setbacks can be waived by the unelected Director of Planning. INCONSISTENT with Prop A: changes height measurement, eliminates future update votes, adds livable attic. The Global Warming Solutions Act is ignored. Only superficial Environmental Impact Reports were done with NO vetting by our own Environmental Commission. Vote NO to preserve our unique Southern California beach town and prevent higher density. Inexpensive housing cannot be built because our land is too expensive. Glen Campora, Director of the Department of Housing and Community Development, confirmed publicly the State never sues a city for not passing a housing element update, but only finds for compliance. Lawsuits from developers could result in a judge ordering another vote. Do not let Encinitas be held hostage by a few developers. NO on Measure T. Send it back and demand a better plan. Committee Opposed To Encinitas Measure T www.EncinitasSaveOurCity.com info[encinitassaveourcitv.com 760-94NoOnT (760-946-6668) PETER C. STERN IAN THOMPSON Ret.Atty Business Executive DENNIS HOLZ SUSAN TURNEY Attorney& Former Mayor of Encinitas Communications Professional GERALD SODOMKA Floriculturist PR-09VO-004 N SD ENC-005 ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE T VOTE NO ON MEASURE T: GOOD FOR DEVELOPERS, BAD FOR RESIDENTS SAVE OUR CITY. Passage of this measure will result in the following: UPZONING. A minimum of 2,000 to 4,000 luxury condos and apartments to be built on 113 acres located at major intersections citywide, along El Camino Real, Encinitas Blvd., and Highway 101. MIXED USE. Nearly all will be combined commercial and residential, fronting major roads. HOUSING DENSITY. Increases current maximum to 30-41 units per acre. BUILDING HEIGHT. Increases current maximum of 30 feet to 48 feet, 3 stories plus a livable attic. TRAFFIC. 12,000 to 24,000 more cars on the road each day causing more congestion, strain on infrastructure, gridlock, and air pollution. PARKING. Parking reduced to only 1 car per unit will force overflow into adjacent neighborhoods, lowering property values. AFFORDABLE HOUSING. No guarantee any affordable housing will be built.All condos and apartments could be sold or rented at current market prices. DENSITY BONUS. Developers have an incentive to increase the number of units by 35% over zoning. Density bonus can be invoked on the 113 rezoned acres and will not reduce the use of density bonus throughout the entire City. COMMUNITY CHARACTER. Encinitas is the last of the small towns in coastal Southern California. Approval will destroy, not protect, our beach town. It will remove many of the protections of Prop A, the Right to Vote initiative passed in 2013. CITY STAFF CONTROL. 90% of developers' projects will be approved by one unelected staff member without Planning Commission, City Council, and public input. VOTE NO ON MEASURE T. Preserve our small town character. Retain all provisions of Prop A.

TIM FLANNERY BRUCE EHLERS Retired Major League Baseball Former Planning Commissioner/ Coach/Musician Prop A Spokesperson PR-09VO-005 N SD ENC-006 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE T Vote YES on Measure T to save Encinitas from fiscal harm, create affordable housing and comply with the law. Measure T is your plan —the environmentally superior alternative. Opponents do not offer a plan to comply with state law. Without Measure T, the City continues to be exposed to expensive lawsuits because we do not comply with state law. Plain and simple, we must follow the law. Rejecting Measure T won't eliminate State housing requirements or make housing more affordable. But it does put our beloved community at risk. Voting YES allows Encinitas to control land use and protect community character. New projects with 10 or more units must include deed-restricted affordable housing and all projects must meet community-sensitive design guidelines. Don't be fooled by opponents' misleading claims. Measure T is consistent with Prop A. Less than 1%of Encinitas' land area will be affected. All Measure T projects will go to Planning Commission for public review. The nay- sayers offer no solutions, risk more lawsuits and offer no housing strategy. The scenarios in the opposing argument are scare tactics. Zoning changes are needed so we can allow for less expensive housing. Our cherished community character will benefit from homes that are more affordable for our seniors, our kids, and ourselves. Everyone agrees Encinitas needs more housing diversity. Measure T is an essential step in this direction. Vote YES on Measure T to protect Encinitas taxpayers, offer housing choices and comply with the law.

Because of the length of the 1992 Housing Element, it is not presented with deleted text. It is simply being repealed in its entirety. In its place, the new 2013-2021 Housing Element is adopted in its entirety to the General Plan. Because the entirety of it is new replacement text, it is not underscored, but it should be viewed by the voter as new text. This is done because of the length and breadth of the 2013-2021 Housing Element and underscoring all of it would be confusing and difficult to read. Therefore, the voter is admonished to understand that the entirety of the 2013-2021 Housing Element is new text.

It outlines how a local jurisdiction will adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of everyone in our community. PR-09VO-014 N SD ENC-015 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) INTRODUCTION The Land Use Element is concerned with housing in a spatial context while the purpose of Housing Element identifies housing programs aimed at new housing construction, and rehabilitation and conservation of the existing affordable housing stock. This Housing this element Element builds upon the land use goals and policies which are primarily concerned with where new housing is to be located and at what density it will be constructed. Other concerns of the Housing Element include the identification of strategies and programs that focus on housing affordability, rehabilitation of substandard housing, meeting the existing demand for new housing,and maintaining an adequate supply of rental housing. The Housing Technical Report provides background information and serves as a technical appendix for the Element. The City is facing some significant challenges when it comes to meeting our housing needs--- housing costs in Encinitas continue to climb,while the availability and variety of our housing is lacking. The median housing cost in Encinitas is nearly 20 percent higher than other North county coastal areas. At the same time,we have a growing population and our existing residents have changing needs. • Baby Boomers are aging and our senior citizen population is projected to nearly double by 2035. Many seniors will seek to downsize and move into smaller homes in urban areas with easy access to services,transportation and amenities. • Millennials have been slower to buy single-family homes than earlier generations. Rising student debt, the cost of housing, and challenges in securing mortgages have contributed to this, but they often want different things in housing and neighborhoods than are available today. They are looking for pedestrian and bike- friendly communities with services and amenities nearby. • According to SANDAG's regional growth forecast, Encinitas can expect steady population growth through 2050. It is important to also note that new residential development in Encinitas has placed an additional burden on public services and infrastructure. New schools, roads, fire stations,sewers,and a host of other facilities and services will require expansion if current levels of service are to be maintained. Finally, there are concerns that future residential development will further degrade the local environment, including the hillside areas, natural stream channels, and wetlands. All of these areas are viewed by residents as resources worth preserving. The Housing Element recognizes the need to provide housing for all economic segments of the community, while considering and mitigating adverse impacts to services and infrastructure. The Housing Element also satisfies the legal requirements that housing policy be a part of the General Plan. This Encinitas Housing Element is prepared for the 2013-2021 update cycle for jurisdictions in the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) region. 1 PR-09VO-015 N SD ENC-016 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Scope and The Housing Element consists of housing goals and policies for the five communities that comprise the City. Specific housing programs that will implement these goals and policies are content of identified in the section entitled Housing Plan which follows the Goals and Policies. Finally,the the housing Housing Element Technical Report contains much of the necessary background data required g for formulating these goals and policies as well as supporting technical data required by the element State Housing and Community Development Department. The State Legislature recognizes the important role of local general plans,and housing elements in particular, in implementing statewide housing goals which call for the provision of decent and sound housing for all persons. In addition, the importance of continuing efforts toward providing housing that is affordable to all income groups is stressed. This Housing Element covers the planning period of April 30,2013 through April 30,2021,and identifies strategies and programsthat focus on: • Conserving and improving existing affordable housing; • Providing adequate sites and range of housing types; • Assisting in the development of affordable housing; • Removing governmental and other constraints to housing development;and, • Promoting equal housing opportunities. An important goal of this element is to ensure that the City of Encinitas embraces the distinct identity and character of its five communities and becomes a place where one can live their entire life with housing for all ages, incomes and abilities.The City envisions itself as a sustainable community that embraces everyone's quality of life through environment, fiscal health,community health and equity. This Housing Element provides policies and programs to address these issues.The 2013-2021 Encinitas Housing Element consists of the following major components: • Introduction:An overview of the purpose and contents of the Housing Element. • Goals and Policies: A set of goals and policies to guide the City actions and decisions relating to the provision of housing. • Implementation Plan: A strategy to address the identified housing needs given the City's constraints and resources. • Housing Needs Assessment:An analysis of the demographic and housing characteristics and trends. • Housing Constraints: A review of potential market, governmental, and environmental constraints to meeting the identified housing needs. 2 PR-09VO-016 N SD ENC-017 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) • Housing Resources:An evaluation of resources available to address housing goals. • Review of Past Accomplishments: An evaluation of previous Housing Element-related accomplishments. When updating a Housing Element,public outreach is often limited to some workshops or study Citizen sessions; and, noticing for those meetings is often limited to mailing key stakeholder groups, placing announcements on the website and/or newspaper postings. In essence,a traditional and participation common-practice form of notification is typically utilized. Contrary to this standard approach, the City of Encinitas took an especially robust process to its public outreach by using several different methods in an effort to reach as many people as possible. Appendix A includes a summary report of all the meetings staff attended, the presentations that were delivered,the ads that ran,the articles and op-eds that were published,and the other promotions received from several other agencies and local community groups,including mention in their respective newsletters and social media networks. Some of the more notable outreach efforts discussed in the report are listed below. • More than 21,000 mailers • Portable electronic messaging signs in all five Encinitas communities • 14 news articles/op-ed pieces • More than 13,000 door hangers • 5,400 families from Encinitas Union School District (flyer distributed) • On-line ad on Seaside Courier's website(18,000 people) • 750 families in Cardiff School District(flyer distributed) • 45 briefings and/or presentations with businesses, seniors&millennial groups • e-Newsletter and a series of e-blasts(about 8,000 subscribers) • 3"pop-up outreach"events hosted at popular shopping centers • 2-rounds of print ads in Coast News&Encinitas Advocate(25,000 people) • Attended Encinitas Fall Festival and Moonlight Beach Festival • Frequent use of social media:twitter,Facebook and Instagram 3 PR-09VO-017 N SD ENC-018 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) City staff also conducted five Community Dialogue Sessions,one in each community,from the hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. During these all-day events, the public was invited to view information and directly speak with staff about housing. For citizens who could not make one of the Community Dialogue Sessions,make- up sessions were offered to the public at City Hall between the hours of 10 a.m.to 8 p.m.during the entire week of December 1 st. LEUCADIA The Community Dialogue Sessions featured six workstations for members of the public to learn about key issues related to the process of updating the City's housing plan (also referred to as the Housing Element Update). Each station included a series of easy-to-read material boards covering varying topics. The material boards were also made available on the City's website,on a webpage that was created specifically for this project.A user-friendly URL was also created,www.athomeinencinitasca.info,and the materials are still available for reference there. Upon entering the session, participants were asked to sign in (optional) and provided a"Station Roadmap° that explained the purpose of the Community Dialogue Session,outlined what they should expect at each station,and highlighted important facts about the process. With this information in hand,community members could perusethe stations at their own leisure. City staff was also available to answer any questions,and in many cases,facilitated groups through each station and explained the information on the material boards. A summary of the public participation at the respective Community Dialogue Sessions is provided below.

Participants were encouraged to do this after completing all the workstations in the Community Dialogue Sessions;or,after independently reviewing the materials on the City's website. Once participants logged on to e-Town Hall, they were asked to share their views and preferences about where housing should be located in their community and the housing types that should be built. The forum provided a series of interactive maps that helped citizens learn about where this new housing could potentially be built - and gave folks a chance to look at different types of housing that could go there,and then select the option they like best for that specific community. The results of the e-Town Hall input were then presented and discussed at a public joint- meeting with the City Council and Planning Commission on February 3 and February 5, 2015. This Housing Element was initially prepared for the 2005-2010 planning period (extended Housing through 2012 by legislation from June 30, 2010). During this planning period, the City initiated a comprehensive update to the City's General Plan,including an evaluation of the Element City's land use and housing policies and residential capacity in the community. Planning Due to the timing and public concerns related to the initial draft General Plan Update, as Period well as the status of the 2005-2010 Housing Element,this Housing Element has been revised to address the 2013-2021 planning period. While this Housing Element covers an eight-year planning period,Government Code Section 65588(e)requires the City to conduct an update by April 30,2017(four years)and again at the end of the eight-year planning period. 5 PR-09VO-019 N SD ENC-020 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) GOALS, POLICIES & IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS This section of the Housing Element contains the goals and policies the City intends to implement to address a number of important housing-related issues. The following three major issue areas are addressed by the goals and policies of the Housing Element:ensure that a broad range of housing types are provided to meet the needs of both existing and future residents; ensure that housing is both sound and safe for occupants; and ensure that the existing housing stock is maintained and preserved. Each issue area and the supporting goals and policies are identified and discussed in the following section. In addition, housing programs that implement each goal and policy are summarized in a table located at the end of this section. Housing The City wants to encourage the construction of new housing units that offer a wide range of housing types to ensure that an adequate supply is available to meet existing opportunities and future needs. The maintenance of a balanced inventory of housing in terms of unit type (e.g. single-family, multiple-family, etc.),cost, and style will ensure that the existing variety is maintained. Each of the five communities have a distinct character due in large part to the nature of their existing residential neighborhoods. New housing constructed in the City should reflect the character of the surrounding neighborhood in particular and the community in general. GOAL 1: THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE PROVISION OF A WIDE RANGE OF HOUSING BY LOCATION,TYPE OF UNIT, AND PRICE TO MEET THE EXISTING AND FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS IN THE REGION AND CITY. POLICY 1.1: Strive to maintain a balance of housing types in the City. POLICY 1.2: Strive to provide a wide variety of housing types so that a range of housing needs and tastes will be made available to existing and future residents. POLICY 13: When existing residential units are replaced, they should be replaced with units that are compatible in design with the surrounding residential neighborhood as planned by the City. POLICY 1.4: Require that housing constructed expressly for low and moderate income households should not be concentrated in any single community or single area of the City and that such housing should be high quality in terms of design and construction without sacrificing affordability. POLICY 1.5: If a diminishing inventory of rental housing creates an imbalance,the City should make every effortto preserve the existing stock of quality rental housing by discouraging apartment conversions to condominiums. 6 PR-09VO-020 N SD ENC-021 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) POLICY 1.6: Encourage retention of all existing,viable mobile home parks through use of a permanent mobilehome park zone and the application of incentives. POLICY 1.7: Coordinate with local social service providers to address the needs of the City's homeless population. New housing opportunities in the City must be made available to all persons. The diverse make- Quality of up of the City with its five distinct communities will continue to attract a wide variety of people. The City has made a strong and firm commitment that fair housing practices will continue in housing Encinitas. GOAL 2: SOUND HOUSING WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE CITY OF ENCINITAS FOR ALL PERSONS POLICY 2.1: Make every reasonable effort to ensure that the provisions of the Federal and State laws that prohibit housing discrimination are enforced. POLICY 2.2: Support ongoing efforts of the State and Federal agencies and local fair housing agenciesto enforce"fa ir-housing"laws,as well as regional efforts in promoting fair housing. POLICY 23: Encourage developers to provide a balance of housing opportunities. Substandard and deteriorating housing units,in addition to the obvious problems of blight,can Maintenance/ expose occupants to a wide range of hazards ranging from electrical fire to exposure to toxic substances used in construction. Many factors can determine the"life expectancy"of a dwelling preservation including quality of workmanship,age,type of construction,location,and numerous otherfactors. In f hOUS A majorfocus of this Housing Element is to provide goals and policies which underscore the City's O g commitment to ensure that the existing housing stock in the five communities is maintained. GOAL 3: THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION OF THE EXISTING HOUSING STOCK AS WELL AS QUALITY WORKMANSHIP IN NEW HOUSING. POLICY3.1:Where determined to be dangerous to the public health and safety,substandard units in the City shall be repaired so that they will comply with the applicable building, safety and housing codes.When compliance through repair is not or cannot be achieved, abatement of substandard units shall be achieved. POLICY 3.2: Enforce the building, safety and housing codes through vigorous code enforcement efforts. POLICY 33: Continue to apply and support existing housing programs administered by the County which provide housing assistance. These include assistance to property owners that can demonstrate financial need in the upgrading of their substandard units. Aggressively pursue the application of existing County programs for housing rehabilitation, and investigate and apply available additional funding. 7 PR-09VO-021 N SD ENC-022 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) POLICY 3.4: Continue to assess develop mentfees on new residential units adequate to pay for all related local and regional impacts on public facilities. POLICY 3.5: Allow for some cluster-type housing and other innovative housing design that provides adequate open areas around and within these developments. POLICY 3.6: Coordinate the provision of open areas in adjoining residential developments to maximize the benefit of the open space. POLICY 3.7: Adapt residential development to the terrain. POLICY3.8: Encourage street planting,landscaping,and underground ingofutilities. POLICY 3.9: Encourage high standards of design,materials,and workmanship in all construction and developments. POLICY 3.10: Discourage residential development of steep slopes, canyons, and floodplains. POLICY 3.11: Develop and implement design review criteria which will also include the issue of view blockage. POLICY 3.12: Cost effective energy-efficient housing, including the use of passive systems,will be encouraged within the City to decrease energy use. Housing The City's existing housing stock includes units which are affordable to very low,low,and moderate income households. A significant part of the City housing focus is on these conservation existing affordable units, and how to ensure or encourage their continued affordability. Of particular concern are projects which were government-subsidized when built, in return for units being rent-restricted to be affordable. With passage of time, many such guaranteed-affordable units are subject to being converted to market-rate rental units by the expiration of pre-payment of the government subsidy arrangement. Responding to this, in 1991 State law required that local housing elements address the status of these "units at risk.' The City is committed to doing what it can so that guaranteed-affordable units remain affordable to target-income households. GOAL 4: THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE CONTINUED AFFORDABILITY OF GUARANTEED- AFFORDABLE UNITS. POLICY 4.1: The City will undertake a program to pursue the renewed affordability of affordable"units at risk"of conversion to market rate units due to expiration of use restrictions,affordable covenants and funding subsidies. 8 PR-09VO-022 N SD ENC-023 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) The Land Use Ele me nt sets forth the amount and type of reside ntia I d eve lopment permitted Related goals under the General Plan, thereby affecting housing opportunity in Encinitas. In addition, the Land Use Element contains policies directed at maintaining the existing housing stock, and policies as well as ensuring the quality of new residential development. The Circulation Element contains policiesto minimize roadway traffic into residential neighborhoods,and the Noise Element sets forth policies to minimize the level of noise in neighborhoods.The Resource Management Element establishes development standards to minimize the impact of residential development on sensitive resources,such as hillside areas,ecological habitat,and scenic viewsheds. Finally, the Public Safety Element sets forth policies to ensure the safety of the City's housing stock through such measures as code enforcement,and mitigation of environmental hazard as a condition to development. Table 3-1: Housing Policy Matrix depicts General Plan elements that support the goals of the Housing Element. TABLE 3-1 HOUSING POLICY MATRIX ISSUE AREA LAND USE CIRCULATION RESROURCE NOISE PUBLIC MGMT. SAFETY Housing X X X Opportunities Housing Quality X Maintenance X X X X X and Preservation Housing X X Conservation While each of the elements is independent,the elements are also interrelated.Certain goals and policies of each element may also address issues that are primary subjects of other elements.This integration of issues throughout the General Plan creates a strong basis for the implementation of plans and programs and achievement of community goals. The City will ensure internal consistency among the various elements in accordance with state planning law. This Housing Element builds upon other General Plan elements and, after making concurrent amendment to the Land Use Element, is entirely consistent with the policies and proposals set forth by the General Plan.When an element in the General Plan is amended,the Housing Element will be reviewed and modified if necessary to ensure continued consistency among the various elements. 9 PR-09VO-023 N SD ENC-024 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Implementation The programs below identify the actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate General Plan,Specific Plan,zoning and development programs standards and with services/facilities to accommodate the City's share of regional housing need for each income level. 1. ADEQUATE SITES - PROGRAMS PROGRAM 1A: Accommodate the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment Allocation The City of Encinitas has been assigned a total Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)of 2,606 for the 2013-2021 Housing Element,along with carryover RHNA allocations from prior planning periods. The breakdown of the RHNA is as follows: TABLE 3-2:CITY OF ENCINITAS RHNA ALLOCATION INCOME CATEGORY RHNA RHNA CARRYOVER Low/Very Low 1,033 253 Moderate 413 0 Above Moderate 907 0 TOTAL 2,353 253 Pursuant to the City's current General Plan, the City has capacity to accommodate the RHNA allocations for the moderate and above moderate income levels without the need for rezoning. With units constructed, under construction and approved at the time of writing this Housing Element,the City has met a portion of its RHNA allocation for the low/very low income units as reflected below. TABLE 3-3:CITY OF ENCINITAS RHNA ADJUSTMENTS AND REMAINING RHNA OBLIGATION RHNA ADJUSTMENTS RHNA (V/VL) Low/Very Low 1,286 Accessory Unit Production 1 146 New Construction 47 REMAINING RHNA 1,093 The City is committed to providing adequate sites with appropriate zoning to accommodate the remaining RHNA and accommodate the need for groups of all income levels pursuant to Section 65584 of the Government Code. To accomplish this mandate of the State and to facilitate the development of multifamily housing affordable to lower-income households, the City shall rezone those sites identified on the final housing strategy map provided in as an attachment to Appendix B. 1 Assumes that the City will issue an estimated 271 permits total for second dwelling units(of which half will be counted as units that accommodate lower income households)and 25 permits for conversion of unpermitted accessory dwelling units over the planning period. 10 PR-09VO-024 N SD ENC-025 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) This rezoning program will result in the rezoning of 101.53 net acres of land,creating an opportunity for at least 1,987 units that are allowed by-right during the planning period pursuant to Section 65583.2. This exceeds the remaining RHNA obligation of 1,093 units by about 80 percent, providing an adequate buffer in consideration of the no net loss requirement and minimizes the future constraint Proposition A places on accommodating adequate sites by giving voters the opportunity to make this a long-term land use decision.This program also includes a provision to make any necessary changes in other General Plan elements to ensure consistency,along with a time line for accomplishing the rezoning. The voters will be presented with the Housing Element, rezonings and Zoning Code amendments, currently scheduled for November 2016. This approach will be taken because voter approval is required when major amendments are made to certain land use planning policy documents causing major increases in zoning density or intensity of land use,pursuant to Encinitas General Plan Land Use Policies and Municipal Code Title 30. Since accommodating the RHNA necessitates changes to the General Plan Land Use Element,Zoning Map,Encinitas Zoning Code and certain specific plans,a vote of the people is required. Presenting both the Housing Element, along with rezonings and Zoning Code amendments concurrently provides maximum transparency and comprehensive consideration by the voters. A fundamental principle in accommodating the City's very low/low RHNA income category of housing units is that no property owner whose site is a part of the inventory(Housing Strategy Map) would lose their existing zoning rights.Therefore,a property which is on the Housing Strategy Map to accommodate very low/low RHNA income category of housing units will retain its existing zoning rights and receive additional rights to build either standalone residential or housing as part of a mixed use project, as reflected on the Map. The City will carefully review the designated sites to ensure that it they comply with the State law requirement to receive RHNA credit. The rezoning program shall permit owner- occupied and rental multi-family residential use by right and permit at least 16 units per site. Density will range from a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre as a permitted use. Sites that are zoned to permit mixed use development require that residential use occupy 50 percent of the total floor area of a mixed use project. Since the City has adequate capacity to accommodate the moderate and higher income RHNA categories of housing units, no zoning changes associated with this Housing Element update will occur on properties that are already zoned for those types of housing units. 11 PR-09VO-025 N SD ENC-026 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Changes to development standards will be necessary to accommodate the very low/low income RHNA categoryof housing units.These changes include increasing the allowable building heightto three stories up to 38 feet in height and allowing for building pad certification. If a property owner does not develop a project to accommodate the very low/low income RHNA category of housing units,instead choosing to continue with their existing zoning rights,the maximum two-story/30-foot building height and existing height determination method will remain as per Encinitas Municipal Code Chapter 30.00,or as otherwise may be further restrictive as set forth in Encinitas Municipal Code Title 30. Development standards will also be revised to address parking-related and other zoning issues to ensure that new standards will accommodate the minimum density required in the zone.Resulting projects will be required to provide a mix of housing sizes for owner-occupied and/or rental multi-family housing,commensurate with the size of the project.All projects will also achieve the minimum density requirements per Section 65583.2. Environmental review will also still apply to future development projects on the Housing Strategy Map regarding design review and most subdivision map actions. Subsequent projects may tier from the Housing Element's Program EIR or a finding made that sufficient environmental clearance occurred with the Program EIR for the Housing Element (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15152, 15162 and 15168). The purposes in using a Program EIR are to comprehensively consider a series of related projects and to streamline subsequent review of development projects involving the very low/low income RHNA category of housing units.

The guidelines will focus on neighborhood-specific compatibility issues,as well as provide direction on howto ensure projects are successful, both in design and in implementation. All projects shall have a mix of two-and three- story buildings or two-and three-story elements. Five neighborhood prototypes were conceptually identified,connecting land use with a community design character context. These prototypes,which are also related to the land use changes described in Program 1 A, form the foundation for design standards and guidelines. New zoning standards and design guidelines will work together to increase height allowances,reduce parking standards,and otherwise remove constraining factors to facilitate new development to achieve maximum densities allowed in the zone. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Planning Commission • City Council • California Coastal Commission Objectives: • Establish design standards and guidelines for the five neighborhood prototypes Timeframe: • November 2016 General Election • January 2018 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments PROGRAM 1 C: Promote the development of accessory housing units Accessory units help meet the City's affordable housing needs by providing a housing resource for seniors and small, low and moderate income households. The City will continue to apply Zoning Code regulations that allow accessory units(also known as second units or granny flats) by right in all single-family residential zones,in accordance with State law. Implementation of the current program resulted in the construction of at least 19 new units per year during the last Housing Element review period. Assuming permit trends continue to increase,there should bean increase in all housing starts, including accessory unit production. Based on development trends, there is great potential for new affordable housing with accessory units.Therefore,the City will continue to accommodate and promote the construction of affordable accessory units by increasing the public awareness of the Accessory Unit Program. Relaxing development standards and/or providing incentives will also likely encourage property owners to pursue authorizations for and construct accessory units, particularly with respect to reduced setback and parking requirements. For this 2013-2021 Housing Element cycle,the City will consider different programmatic options that could incentivize additional production,which may include some or all of the following: • First point-of-contact.The City can also consider assigning a staff person to serve as a first point- of-contact for permitting information. The City could also establish and maintain a "second unit specialist'in the Development Services Section to assist in processing and approving accessory units. • Permit fee reductions. Reducing permitting costs could help decrease up-front costs, which have been shown through different studies to be a barrier to affordable housing provisions.Fee reductions 14 PR-09VO-028 N SD ENC-029 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) could be applied to permit applications for units that are rented to lower-income households or for family members(in-law apartments)at low or no-cost. • FAR increase. In a community where land costs are high and FARs are strictly regulated, the provision of this additional building floor area could bring new interest to the program. Permitting additional residential floor area above the maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio(FAR)for the property could greatly incentivize construction. • Reduced rear-yard setbacks. An allowance for single-storied encroachment into otherwise required rear-yard setbacks could create more flexibility to the property owner. In this case, reductions could considered provided that 1) a minimum setback of ten (10) feet is provided adjacent property and 2) all other structures on the property fully comply with other specified setback and height requirements, including the primary residence from the front, side, and rear lot lines. Building height for accessory units would be reduced the deeper into the reduced setback the building is located. • Parking waivers for the main residence. Parking requirements typically serve as the greatest barrier to housing development due to land availability, existing site constraints and cost. Parking waivers could be applied to the accessory unit. On-street parking would suffice for an accessory unit, if the parking is available within a short walking distance of the unit, except within one-quarter mile of public beach access points. • Junior second units. The City may also evaluate "junior" second units as a means to achieve more housing for lower income households.Junior second units could be limited in size and have different requirements than other unit types. The above list of regulatory and non-regulatory incentives illustrates a wide range of different approaches that the City could take to increase interest in the Accessory Unit Program. Other items may also be considered as a means to increase the use of the Accessory-Unit Program.The approaches outline potential courses of action that City Council could take as a course of action. Since there is a need to incentivize accessory unit production early in the Housing Element cycle,the City will initiate an ordinance update in the fi rst part of 2016 and work with the community to determine the most effective and efficient approach or mix of strategies. In order to minimize adverse impacts on established neighborhoods,the City will monitor the effects that construction of these new accessory units may have on the character of surrounding neighborhoods. If detrimental impacts are found, the City may revise its Accessory Unit Program and re-evaluate any correlated Housing Element Program actions to accommodate the City's remaining regional housing needs. 15 PR-09VO-029 N SD ENC-030 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Planning Commission • City Council • California Coastal Commission Objectives: • Relax development standards to encourage accessory housing unit production • Continue to administer the accessory unit regulations • Develop informational packets to market accessory unit production • Achieve an average of 30 accessory units annually;242 total over the eight year period. Timeframe: • November 2017 for Zoning Code amendments • December 2017 availability of promotional materials for accessory housing units • February 2019 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments PROGRAM 1D: Ensure thatadequate sites remain available throughout the planning ep riod The City will monitor the consumption of residential acreage to ensure an adequate inventory is available to meet the City's RHNA obligations.To ensure sufficient residential capacity is maintained to accommodate the RHNA, the City will develop and implement a formal ongoing (project-by-project) evaluation procedure pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 and will make findings if a site is proposed for development with fewer units than shown in the Housing Element.Should an approval of development result in a reduction of capacity below the residential capacity needed to accommodate the remaining need for lower income households,the City will identify and if necessary rezone sufficient sites to accommodate the shortfall and ensure"no net loss"in capacity to accommodate the RHNA. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • City Council Objectives: • Develop and implement a formal evaluation procedure pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 • Monitor and report through the HCD annual report process Timeframe: • April 2017 for a formal evaluation procedure • Every April report to HCD and SANDAG PROGRAM 1 E: Promote and streamline lot consolidation For some sites in the inventory to be viable for development,particularly for sites located on or near Coast Highway 101,the City will evaluate ways to encourage the consolidation of smaller parcels tofacilitate well- designed,modern projects that provide housing options for households of all income levels. Forsitesthat area part of the inventory,as many types of subdivision actions will occur as administrative decisions as allowed underthe Subdivision Map Act,subject to appeal as provided for bylaw.The City will periodically review development standards and incentives that would encourage mixed-use or infill developments on small parcels.The City will also meet with developers to discuss potential project sites and identify areas and properties with potential for redevelopment and provide information to interested developers. 16 PR-09VO-030 N SD ENC-031 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Funding: • Departmental budgets Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Public Works Department • Fire Department • Planning Commission • City Council • California Coastal Commission Objectives: • Subdivision maps and lot consolidations involving the very low/low income RHNA category of housing units will be made an administrative decision to the extent allowable under the Map Act • Prepare an inventory of potential lot consolidations • Meet with developers on an annual basis to review permit activity associated with different development regulations and evaluate improvements to the permitting process,including potential incentives to encourage lot consolidations • Achieve on average one lot consolidation project per year over the planning period Timeframe: • June 2016 Zoning Code amendments • January 2018 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments • Meeting with developers in the summer of every year • December 2017 availability of potential lot consolidation inventory PROGRAM 1 F: Energy conservation and energy efficiency opportunities Continue to promote regional water conservation incentive programs and encourage broader participation in the City's Green Building Incentive Program.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING - PROGRAMS The programs below identify the actions that will betaken to promote affordable housing. PROGRAM 2A: Continue and broaden inclusionary housing policies The City's inclusionary housing program requires that subdivisions of at least 10 units set aside or pay a fee in lieu equivalent to one in 10 units for low income households. As a condition of approval of any tentative subdivision map for residential dwellings, community apartments, stock cooperatives or conversions of 10 units or more, the subdivider is required to reserve the unit(s) for very low income households. All required affordable units shall be phased-in with market rate units to ensure completion. Because of the 2009 court decision in Palmer v.City of Los Angeles,the City can no longer require rental affordable units. The City intends to update its current Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to more effectively meet the City's affordable housing goals and grant developers greater flexibility in how they fulfill their inclusionary housing requirement. The City will conduct a nexus study to determine the maximum supportable inclusionary housing requirement and affordable housing impact feefor rental and for-sale housing. Alternatives to on-site development of affordable housing will also be considered and include payment of an in-lieu fee, donation of land, converting existing market rate housing to affordable housing for a period of at least 30 years,extending the term of affordability for existing affordable units for at least 40 years,or provision for alternative housing types. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • City Council • California Coastal Commission Objectives: • Continue the inclusionary housing program • Conduct a nexus study to determine the maximum supportable inclusionary requirement and fees • Update the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to be more effective and provide greater flexibility in meeting the inclusionary housing requirements Timeframe: • November 2017 updated inclusionary housing program • February 2019 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments PROGRAM 2B: Facilitate affordable housing The City will proactively support housing for low income, extremely low income, and persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities) as required by State law. New funding sources will be sought from available non-profit,state and federal programs. The City will also utilize its existing CDBG and other appropriate funding sources. Planning and entitlements should consider how to position a project for future grant applications. The City will attempt to subsidize off-site public improvement costs by coordinating its CIP with affordable housing sites and will consider the waiver or reduction of development fees on a case-by-case basis. For City-owned housing sites,land cost write-downs may be used to promote affordable housing. 18 PR-09VO-032 N SD ENC-033 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) The City will also work with developers to facilitate affordable housing development. Specifically, as funding permits, the City will provide gap financing to leverage State, federal, and other public affordable funding sources. Gap financing will focus on rental housing units affordable to lower income households and households with special needs (such as seniors and disabled). The City will also ensure a portion ofthe affordable housing units created will be available to extremely low income households. Also, additional strategies will be explored to facilitate affordable housing development and/or otherwise address the lower income housing needs of this community. One opportunity,for example, is to workthrough the City of Encinitas Senior Commission to create attainable senior housing options and better what different options are available to best enable older adults to age in place or in their community(e.g.small lot/cottage housing and co-housing). The City continues to improve the efficiency of the development review process. Recently,the City improved its permitting process by placing more information on the City's website; implemented an Internet-based case management system, which is accessible to the public, that tracks permit review and status;and established an interdepartmental team (Project Issue Resolution) that quickly resolves problems and issues as they arise.The City will continue to find opportunities to streamline the permitting process to remove unnecessary barriers,without compromising public health,safety and community character. The City will emphasize working with non-profit and for-profit housing developers to better utilize an expedited process, which would include priority plan review and inspection services. Streamlining includes the Program EIR for this Housing Element to address as many environmental issues as possible now to focus future environmental review on project-specific issues. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget,Affordable Housing Fund,LIHTC, Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds,Cap and Trade Affordable Housing Program, National Housing Trust Fund and other resources,as available Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Planning Commission • City Council Objectives: • Streamline the permitting and environmental review processes • Annually allocate designated Affordable Housing Funds to increase the supply of affordable housing for lower income households,including seniors,disabled, homeless and those at risk of homelessness • Annually pursue funding opportunities for affordable housing • Expand the City's affordable housing inventory • Evaluate strategies to meet the City's dynamic housing needs,such as older adults and seniors • Consider City-owned sites with land cost write-down for affordable housing • Consider reducing development fees and coordinating the CIP with affordable housing development sites • Facilitate the development of one affordable housing project in the 2013-2021 planning period. Timeframe: • Ongoing PROGRAM 2C: Utilize Section 8 housing choice vouchers This program provides rental assistance to eligible very low income households (with incomes not exceeding 50 percent of the area median). The subsidy represents the difference between the rent that exceeds 30 percent of a household's monthly income and the actual rent charged. To cover the 19 PR-09VO-033 N SD ENC-034 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) cost of the program,U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) provides funds to allow the City's Housing Authority to make housing assistance payments on behalf of the families. HUD also pays the Housing Authority a fee for the costs of administering the program. HUD has not issued any new vouchers to the City of Encinitas for the past five years. In January 2004 and January 2005, HUD capped the Section 8 budget, which required the City to reduce program operating costs. The City responded in part by increasing the payment standards and enhancing occupancy standards which provides for more rental unit opportunity. On March 1, 2013, around $85 billion in federal budget cuts,known as sequestration,took effect. The cuts are part of a 10- year plan of catastrophic funding reductions to our nation's discretionary domestic programs,including the HUD and the military. The impact of sequestration on the City's Housing Authority has resulted in the loss of annual funding for rental subsidy payments. Although the City will continue to administer its 136 housing vouchers, it currently has funding to subsidize only 111 households. The City's ability to expand or even maintain this program at its current level is derived from the annual Federal budget process. Recent indications from HUD are that Federal support for Section 8 will not be expanded. However,when additional funds become available to assist new families,the City will provide additional housing vouchers. Funding: • HUD Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Allocations Responsible • Encinitas Housing Authority Agencies: Objectives: • Continue to administer and fund the housing choices vouchers based on HUD funding availability • Promote the Housing Choice Voucher program to rental property owners Timeframe: • Ongoing PROGRAM 2D: Maximize housing affordability through market-based approaches The City will evaluate and pursue the following series of zoning and design standards that regulate building form to promote the construction of housing that is more attainable. The Zoning Code will be amended to set a maximum average unit size to ensure small units are created along with larger units. A minimum density will be required on inventory sites to ensure sufficient housing units are built. For projects near transit, the City will amend its regulations to allow for unbundling of parking options to sell or rent parking spaces separately or to give residents options about having an assigned space or an unassigned space. The City will also evaluate other innovative development standards as necessary to facilitate more efficient uses of land,thereby lowering the per unit cost. Funding: • Planning and Building Department Budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Planning Commission • City Council • Voters of Encinitas • California Coastal Commission Objectives: • Pursue the above described amendments • Promote affordability through design Timeframe: • November 2016 General Election • January 2018 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments 20 PR-09VO-034 N SD ENC-035 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) PROGRAM 2E: Establish infrastructure and public amenities financing tools As is typical in urban California, most of the sites on the Housing Strategy Map for the lower income category of housing units are located in infill areas or require redevelopment and are on relatively small sites. Infrastructure and public amenity improvements associated with these future housing and mixed use projects can be very high as a part of the overall project delivery cost. Additionally, infrastructure and public amenities are needed sooner than would otherwise occur waiting for individual projectsto develop incrementally. Various financing tools existto accelerate infrastructure and public amenity improvements,while also promoting the feasibility of new housing development. Example financing tools include: •Enhanced infrastructure financing district(EIFD) •Community facilities district(CFD) •Parking district •Property-based improvement district(PBID) •Maintenance assessment district(MAD) •Value capture/commercial development impact fee/linkage fee that captures a portion of the property valuation increase associated with proximity to new transportation infrastructure and upzoning;may be used for pay-as-you-go or bond financing The City will explore establishing appropriate financing tools in different areas based on need and potential for beneficial impact. Funding: • Departmental budgets Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Public Works Department • Finance Department • City Council • Property owners Objectives: • Consider establishing financing districts in areas of the City generally aligned with the Housing Strategy Map Timeframe: • Initiate feasibility study as soon as possible after November 2016 General Election. 3. MITIGATION OF CONSTRAINTS - PROGRAMS The City reviews and updates development standards and processing procedures that constrain housing development, particularly for lower and moderate-income households and for persons with special needs. Below identifies how the City will address improving the City's housing stock-and where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental constraints that limit the ability to maintain, improve, and develop housing for all income levels. 21 PR-09VO-035 N SD ENC-036 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) PROGRAM 3A: Update the density bonus ordinance Government Code Section 65915 requires that a jurisdiction adopt a local Density Bonus Ordinance consistent with State law. The state law requires a local jurisdiction to grant an increase in density, if requested by a developer, for providing affordable housing as part of a development project. Key provisions of the law include incremental density bonuses that correspond to the percentage of housing set aside as affordable units. State law caps the maximum density bonus at 35 percent and allows the developer to request up to three incentives or concessions, if required to provide the affordable units. The law also provides a process for waivers of development standards such as reductions in parking requirements,height limits and setback requirements, but developer must demonstrate that incentives reduce costs and are needed to provide affordable units;and that waivers are required because the usual standards physically preclude the project from achieving the allowed density The City's implementing ordinance is inconsistent with the current Government Code. As such, the City will amend its local ordinance to comply with State law and evaluate how the density bonus ordinance may be applied in conjunction with the City's Inclusionary Housing Program to maximize housing opportunities. The City will explore opportunities to address project-related design issues and seek out ways to minimize adverse impacts of future projects on established neighborhoods. Through subsequent implementation of the adopted ordinance,the City will use density bonuses to help achieve State and City housing goals while attempting to mitigate potential impacts to the extent consistent with State law. Future consideration could be given to allowing the transfer of density bonus units that would exceed the maximum density to another site (or fee in-lieu). However,this portion of the program is premised in the fact that affordable housing units need to be integrated into and distributed throughout the City. A developer would have the option to use this approach instead,which would be an alternative to invoking State Density Bonus Law. Consistent with State law, the developer could still choose Density Bonus Law,but would have the option to use the alternative City regulations. Funding: • Planning and Building Department Budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Planning Commission • City Council • Coastal Commission Objectives: • Update the City's density bonus regulations Timeframe: • November 2016 updated density bonus ordinance • May 2018 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments PROGRAM 3B: Establish parking standards appropriate for different kinds of housina Basic construction costs for residential developments have rapidly increased, and together with land prices, have increased the cost of housing. This has made homeownership unattainable for many households. Parking is more expensive to supply in some places,so parking requirements add a cost to development and a developer might build fewer housing units or may not develop at all. 22 PR-09VO-036 N SD ENC-037 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) The Downtown Encinitas and the North 101 Corridor Specific Plans contain modified parking standards to encourage mixed-use and affordable housing development. In designated zones of the Specific Plan areas,the City requires no more than two off-street parking spaces for a residential unit inamixed-use development. Mixed-use units that are guaranteed to be affordable to low or very low income households are allowed a reduced,one-space-per-unit parking requirement. However, the City's parking standards have not been comprehensively updated since incorporation (1986). How people travel has changed since then,and continues to change as more focus is being placed on alternative modes of transportation such as bikes and rideshares. The City looks to update its housing policies and standards to reflect current and anticipated parking needs and to adopt parking standards appropriate for affordable, senior-aged, mixed-use, and transit-oriented housing projects. Funding: • Departmental budgets Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Public Works Department • Planning Commission • City Council • Coastal Commission Objectives: • Update the City's parking regulations Timeframe: • January 2018 update of parking regulations • May 2019 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments PROGRAM 3C: Modify regulations that constrain the development of housing Governmental constraints are policies, standards, requirements or actions imposed by the various levels of government upon land, housing ownership and development. Although federal and state agencies play a role,the City cannot modify the policies of these agencies and they are therefore not addressed in this program section. Ground-Floor Commercial Uses Only: Portions of the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan and Downtown Encinitas Specific Plan have non- residential zones where residential densities are permitted or allowed. However,the zoning requires ground floor uses 1) in a storefront location are limited to retail-serving uses only; or 2) residential uses are permitted only above or behind a primary use. However, it may be difficult to market and develop a property with these blanket ground floor commercial requirements because there is a finite economic market available to support providing additional commercial services. Mixed use thrives when it is focused in a compact area, not over lengthy corridors, as is currently mandated in these specific plans. For mixed-use projects,the City will amend zoning regulations to require ground floor commercial uses only at key locations or preference areas based on context or planning objectives rather than as a blanket requirement to ensure future projects are feasible and the desired community character is preserved. Key locations will be determined by City Council. Design Review Findings for Residential Projects: The City requires design review approval for most proposed developments.Unless exempt,residential projects need to be consistent with the City's design guidelines and comply with certain findings before they may be constructed. Among these findings is the requirement that the project"would not tend to cause the surrounding neighborhood to depreciate materially in appearance or value (EMC 23.08.080):' In response to concerns that such a finding could pose a constraint to housing, the City will evaluate this design review finding for its potential to be subjectively applied to deny a 23 PR-09VO-037 N SD ENC-038 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) residential development. As noted in the Constraints Analysis,there is no history that a residential project was denied solely on the basis of this finding. Its effectiveness in assuring high quality development is minimal as compared to meeting the otherthree findings,namely,that a project:1)is consistent with the General Plan,a Specific Plan or the Municipal Code;2) is substantially consistent with the Design Review Guidelines;and 3)would not adversely affect the health,safety,or general welfare of the community. As such,the City will amend the language for residential projects as part of the Zoning Code amendments. Separate Lot or Airspace Ownership Requirements in North Highway 101 Specific Plan: Section 3.1.1(A)(4)of the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan requires that"all[new]residential detached and attached dwelling units in residential-only developments must be constructed on a legally subdivided lot or must be subdivided to permit ownership of airspace in the form of a dwelling unit with an undivided share in common elements" While this requirement is appropriate for single-family homeownership projects, it may pose a disincentive to the provision of duplex and multi-family housing by imposing additional cost,processing and development requirements. As such,the City will amend the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan to eliminate the airspace requirement for multi-family housing. Funding: • Departmental budgets Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Public Works Department • Planning Commission • City Council • Coastal Commission Objectives: • Remove constraints to housing production from the Subdivision Code,Zoning Code and Specific Plans Timeframe: • January 2018 update regulations • May 2019 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments PROGRAM 3D: Accommodate specialized housing types Special needs groups often spend a disproportionate amount of their income to secure safe and decent housing and are sometimes subject to discrimination based on their specific circumstances. The development of affordable and accessible homes is critical to expand opportunities for persons with special needs. Agricultural Worker Housing Pursuant to the State Employee Housing Act (Section 17000 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code), employee housing for agricultural workers consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units or spaces designed for use by a single family or household is permitted by right in a zoning district that permits agricultural uses by right. Therefore,for properties that permit agricultural uses by right, a local jurisdiction may not treat employee housing that meets the above criteria any differently than an agricultural use. Furthermore, any employee housing providing accommodations for six or fewer employees shall be deemed a single-family structure with a residential land use designation,according to the Employee Housing Act. Employee housing for six or fewer persons is permitted where a single- family residence is permitted. No conditional or special use permit or variance may be required. The City will amend its Zoning Code to be consistent with State law regarding agricultural worker housing and employee housing. 24 PR-09VO-038 N SD ENC-039 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Emergency Shelter: Senate Bill 2 requires local governments to identify one or more zoning categories that allow emergency shelters (year-round shelters for the homeless) without discretionary review. The statute permits the City to apply limited conditions to the approval of ministerial permits for emergency shelters. Pursuant to State law,the City may establish standards such as: •Maximum number of beds; •Proximity to other shelters; •Length of stay; •Security and lighting; •Counseling services;and •Provision of on-site management. The City will amend the Zoning Code to permit emergency shelters by right without a discretionary review process in the Light Industrial (LI) and Business Park(BP) zones. To the extent that funds are available, the City will continue to sponsor or assist emergency shelter facilities, inside City limits or outside within a reasonable proximity to the City, as well as encourage or support facilities by providing grants, or low cost loans, to operating agencies. The City will also continue to provide financial assistance to the extent feasible to nonprofit service agencies such as the Community Resource Center,YMCA-Oz North Coast, Fraternity House, and North County Solutions for Change to provide supportive services for the homeless and continue to provide winter homeless assistance, either through motel voucher funding or a temporary winter shelter (for example, Interfaith Shelter networkand the Scout Center). Transitional and Supportive Housing: State Housing Element Law mandates that local jurisdictions shall address zoning for transitional and supportive housing. Transitional housing is included in the Encinitas Zoning Code as a residential carefacility. Supportive housing is not specifically addressed in the Zoning Code. The City will amend its Zoning Code to identify transitional/supportive housing meeting the Government Code Section 65582(f,g,h)definitions as a residential use of a property in a dwelling to be permitted,conditionally permitted or prohibited as similar uses in the same zones. Single-Room Occupancy(SRO) Housing: SRO units are typically one-room units intended for occupancy by a single individual. They are distinct from a studio or efficiency unit,in that a studio is a one-room unit that must contain a kitchen and bathroom. Although SRO units are not required to have a kitchen or bathroom, many SROs have one or the other and could be equivalent to an efficiency unit. State law requires that the City accommodate this housing type. The City will amend the General Commercial Zoning District to conditionally permit SRO housing. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • Planning Commission • City Council • Coastal Commission Objectives: • Amend the Zoning Code to accommodate special needs housing consistent with State law Timeframe: • June 2017 zone establishment for SB 2 implementation within one(1)year of adoption • January 2018 update other regulations • May 2019 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program Amendments 25 PR-09VO-039 N SD ENC-040 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) PROGRAM 3E: Right to Vote Amendment monitoring In 2013, a citizen initiative resulted in the Right to Vote Amendment (Proposition A), which requires voter approval of most land use changes and building heights higher than two stories. In the short term, Proposition A does not present a constraint to housing development in the City because a ballot measure to vote upon this Housing Element Update will be put before the voters, consistent with Proposition A. However, it will be important to monitor the overall impact that Proposition A. Therefore,this 2013-2021 Housing Element proposes a program to monitor the effects of Proposition A and address constraints to development. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: Objectives: • Administer a program that analyzes the impacts of Proposition A on the cost,supply, and certainty of housing development • Monitor developer interest and permit activity to determine if the height standards from Proposition A constrains housing development Timeframe: • Monitor the impacts of the initiative through annual Housing Element Progress Reports. PROGRAM 3F: Rescind Obsolete Growth Management Policies and Programs The Land Use Element portion of the Encinitas General Plan contains goals and policies that manage new growth. The measures provide a guiding framework on how the City will ensure that new development does not outpace the ability to provide essential services and infrastructure to support it.One measure establishes a Growth Management Plan which phases development through building permit limitations. In 1999,the City analyzed the effectiveness of the growth management plan in regulating the pace of residential growth in Encinitas.The City found that the cumulative number of unallocated permits from year-to-year was far greater than housing production. As a result the City discontinued calculation of the permit cap due to the carryover of unallocated permits.As the Growth Management Plan is no longerenforced,the City will eliminate the requirement and ensure that there are no potential constraints to meeting its obligation, under California law, to satisfy its current or future Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: Objectives: • Rescind the Growth Management Plan Ordinance to eliminate the annual housing permit allocation process and grant approvals to projects. • Amend the growth management policies of the Land Use Element Timeframe: • June 2016 Land Use Element amendment • January 2018 Coastal Commission certification of Local Coastal Program 26 PR-09VO-040 N SD ENC-041 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) 4. CONSERVATION OF EXISTING HOUSING STOCK - PROGRAMS The programs below demonstrate how the City shall conserve and improve the condition of the existing affordable housing stock. PROGRAM 4A: Pursue opportunities to create safe and healthy housing The City has a number of accessory units that were constructed or converted illegally(without the benefit of building permits) prior to the City's incorporation and might not meet City codes. Recognizing that many of these units provide affordable housing that may not otherwise be available,the City adopted an Affordable Unit Policy(AUP) in 1993 to allow dwelling units built or converted without required permits to apply for legalization.However, participation in the program has only averaged two units per year. The City Council in November2014 revised the compliance program with less restrictive,more preferential terms,which are valid through 2015. Here are the key changes: -The unit must have existed prior to January 1,2004.This is a change from the current policy that requires the unit to be in existence prior to incorporation in 1986. •The unit must be reserved as affordable housing for"low"income households for a period of twenty (20) years. This is a change from the current policy that requires the affordability restriction in perpetuity. -The standard AUP application fee($900) may be waived for property owners that qualify as low/very-low income. The units shall still be brought into compliance with current building and fire codes and shall conform to zoning development standards (i.e., parking requirements) to the extent practicable. The City will continue to monitor the program and adjust the policy as needed to maximize participation, while ensuring the protection of public health and safety,as well as compliant with State and local laws. The City will also periodically market the program to homeowners via City newsletter,website,and/or flyers at public counters. For unpermitted housing units not eligible or not opting into the AUP,fully bring those units up to land use and uniform codes. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • City Council Objectives: • Healthy and safe housing • Pursue the legalization of 25 units using the Affordable Unit Program during the 2013-2021 planning period and amend the Zoning Code to clearly state that existing units legalized under the AUP automatically are deemed legally nonconforming as to zoning standards and pursue legislative flexibility in applying the Uniform Codes to these types of housing units Timeframe: Implement the less restrictive Affordable Unit Policy Implement the underlying 1993 Affordable Unit Policy-January 2016 and beyond PROGRAM 4B: Assist in rehabilitating housing The City's current Residential Rehabilitation Program provides grants and/or low-interest, deferred, and/or forgivable loans for building code violations, health and safety issues, essential repairs and upgrades of major component systems(for example,electrical,plumbing,roofing,heating),and general 27 PR-09VO-041 N SD ENC-042 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) improvements(for example,exterior finishes). The assistance is available to low-income homeowners and to owners of rental units that will rent to low income households. The key funding source available for the rehabilitation program comes from Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). The City anticipates that funding allocated over an eight-year period, from 2013 to 2021, will help administer assistance to about 40 households. The estimated funding amounts are not known until federal appropriations for each fiscal year are finalized and HUD notifies the City of the yearly grant amount. Subject to federal funding,the City will lookto assist an average of five households annually (ranging from single-family,multi-family,and mobile homes). Funding: • Community Development Block Grants Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • City Council Objectives: • Healthy and safe housing Timeframe: • Ongoing 5. EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES - PROGRAMS Below identifies the programs that promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race,religion, sex,marital status,ancestry,national origin,color,family status,or disability. PROGRAM 5A: Provide flexibility in reasonably accommodating housing for the physically and developmentally disabled State law requires jurisdictions to analyze potential and actual governmental constraints on the development, maintenance and improvement of housing for persons with disabilities and demonstrate local efforts to remove or mitigate those constraints. Housing elements shall include programs that remove constraints or provide reasonable accommodation of housing for persons with disabilities.Through its building permit authority, the City enforces State Title 24 accessibility regulations. As needed on a case-by-case basis,the City has made reasonable accommodations with respect to accessibility in its application of zoning/development standards. To ensure full compliance with reasonable accommodation procedures of the Fair Housing Act,the City will adopt a Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance to establish procedures for the review and approval of requests to modify zoning and development standards to reasonably accommodate persons with disabilities, including persons with developmental disabilities. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: Objectives: • Adopt reasonable accommodations ordinance for persons with disabilities Timeframe: • November 2019 adopt new reasonable accommodations regulations PROGRAM 5B: Promote fair housing The City of Encinitas receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from HUD. As a recipient of these funds, the City certifies that it will engage in fair housing planning and work to mitigate impediments to fair housing choice. The goal of the City's Fair Housing Plan isto affirmatively further fair housing through specific education outreach and monitoring activities. The City currently 28 PR-09VO-042 N SD ENC-043 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) contracts with the North County Lifeline (NCL) to provide fair housing and landlord/tenant services to residents and landlords in Encinitas. NCL will help mediate and/or assist with filing fair housing complaints. As needed,NCL can arrange testing when unfair practices are suspected. In 2010, the City partnered with all jurisdictions in the County to conduct a Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The Al identifies specific improvements to the City's Zoning Code to expand fair housing choices for all. These improvements have been incorporated into this Implementation Plan,as follows: •Continue to contract with a fair housing agency to provide outreach,education and assistance to residents of Encinitas; •Continue to disseminate information on fair housing in the City's housing brochure (distributed at libraries, grocery stores, community centers, and other public places) and on the City website;and, •Update the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in 2014 for the 2015-2020 period. Funding: • Community Development Block Grants Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • City Council Objectives: • Reduce impediments to fair housing choice Timeframe: • Ongoing 6. AT RISK HOUSING - PROGRAMS There are some government-assisted projects or units that are or may be at-risk of conversion to market rate. At-risk units are occupied by seniors or lower income families who cannot afford to pay market rate rents and who could be displaced if the project or unit converts. A large percentage of these units typically convert to market rate as subsidy contracts or regulatory agreements expire. The City encourages the development of resources to help"at-risk"seniors and lower income households. The programs reflected herein identify how the City shall preserve assisted housing developments that are at risk of converting. PROGRAM 6A: Monitor publicly assisted housing projects The Housing Element is required to include a program to monitor and work to preserve affordable housing units that are eligible to convert to non-low-income housing uses. All inventoried units eligible to prepay, opt-out, or terminate long-term use/affordability restrictions during the next 10-years are considered by HCD as"at-risk". Thus,this Housing Element's"at-risk"housing analysis covers the period from November 2013 through November 2023. Consistent with State law,this Housing Element has identified one publicly assisted housing project in Encinitas that is close to being considered"at-risk". Regal Road Apartments (10 units) will convert in the year 2024. The City should analyze their potential to convert to market rate housing uses and analyze the cost to preserve or replace those units. 29 PR-09VO-043 N SD ENC-044 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: Objectives: • Monitor the status of any Notices of Intent and Plans of Action filed by property owners to convert to market rate units • Identify non-profit organizations as potential purchasers/managers of at-risk housing units • Explore funding sources available to purchase affordability covenants on at-risk projects,transfer ownership of at-risk projects to public or non-profit agencies, purchase existing buildings to replace at-risk units or construct replacement units • Ensure the tenants are properly noticed and informed of their rights that they are eligible to obtain special Section 8 vouchers reserved for tenants of converted properties Timeframe: • Contact project owner in January 2021 to determine their intent for the project and/ or other improvement needs. If necessary,analyze the cost to preserve the Regal Road Apartments. PROGRAM 6B: Extend term of affordability with in-lieu programs The City will evaluate ways to allow more inclusionary alternatives for below-market-rate unit construction(as described in Program 2A). When the City updates its affordable housing policies(e.g., Inclusionary Housing),additional options should be added to include converting existing market rate housing to affordable housing for a period of at least 30 years,or extending the term of affordability for existing affordable units for at least 55 years and allowing developers to convert existing market rate housing to affordable housing. Funding: • Planning and Building Department budget Responsible • Planning and Building Department Agencies: • City Council • California Coastal Commission Objectives: • Allow developers to meet inclusionary requirements by preserving at-risk housing units. This will require modification to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. • Extend the term of ten (10) units that will convert to market rate during the 2013- 2021 planning period or shortly thereafter.

POLICY 8.3: Residential development on land that has physical constraints shall exclude or discount areas subject to specified constraints from density allowance. Portions of development sites subject to the following constraints shall be excluded from the net lot area used to figure density: floodplains, beaches, permanent bodies of water, significant wetlands, major utility easements, railroad track beds or rights-of-way, and rights-of-way and easements for public/private streets and roads.The remaining net lot area shall then be calculated for density allowance, based on the assigned land use category density range, subject to the following discounts based on site slope: • Portions of site 0-25%slope - 100%density; • Portions of site 25-40% slope - approximately 50% density allowance; • Portions of site 40%+ slope - no density allowance. These density allowance calculations apply to all land use categories that permit residential development. Density allowance shall be limited to the mid-point of the land use category range, as specified by the zoning code, unless findings can be made that the proposed project excels in design excellence and/or provides extraordinary community benefits. Upon such findings, up to the maximum density level of the range may be allowed. In no case shall less than one dwelling per legal lot be allowed. Notwithstanding the mid-point reference above, future development in the At Home in Encinitas(AH E)Zone is regulated by Chapter 30.36 of the Zoning Code, which allows a maximum density"by-right." Page LU-36 At Home in Encinitas (AHE) General Plan Land Use Desianation This category of residential and mixed use land use is characterized by a unique land use designation that is composed of two parts: the land use under the General Plan that was in effect immediately prior to being re- PR-09VO-049 N SD ENC-050 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Exhibit 2016-52-B designated AHE (first generation) and new incentive land use pursuant to the Housing Element Update (second generation). The AHE Zone is intended to implement the At Home in Encinitas (AHE) General Plan land use designation and give property owners more flexibility for future development of their property and consists of a set of development rights that allows for higher density housing or mixed use. The AHE land use designation establishes a minimum density to ensure that each project meets affordability requirements, as well as a maximum density to ensure that Encinitas remains a community of modestly-scaled development. In the AHE land use designation, development will provide a density range from a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre as a permitted use. Until a transition from a first generation to a second generation is activated for a site: the land use designation and implementing zoning in effect immediately prior to be designated and zoned AHE govern the use and development of the site. Only those sites shown with an AHE Land Use Designation on the Land Use Map are eligible to use the AHE Zone. Page LU-38A At Home in Encinitas (AHE) Implementing Zone City land use policy calls for the need to accommodate future housing development and meet RHNA's state housing law compliance for affordability.To reinforce and expand on the City's commitment to affordable housing, developing more complete neighborhoods, and enhancing and preserving the community's character, the At Home in Encinitas (AHE) Zone was created to implement the AHE General Plan land use designation. The AH E Zone is a unique zone in that is composed of two parts: that which was in effect immediately prior to being re- zoned AHE (first generation) and the new land use and development standards pursuant to the Housing Element Update (second generation). The AHE Zone allows property owners to develop under the first generation use and development standards, and maintain all the prior zoning rights and privileges thereto: or should they choose, utilize the new incentive land use and development standards (second generation) to create more housing for the community. Once an application for development consistent with the second generation AHE Zone is approved, the previous (first generation) use and development standards can no longer be implemented without a legislative action, as this is a one-way transition. The General Plan land use and zoning maps will be ministerially updated by clipping out the first generation designation to disclose the transition. Chapter 30.36 of the City's Zone Code establishes the applicability and process for transition. The AHE Zone is intended to: 1. Implement the At Home in Encinitas General Plan land use designation, which recognizes that relatively few vacant sites suitable for these land uses remain in the City, so the land use designation is purposefully flexible to accommodate a one-way transition from existing first generation uses and development standards to the second generation uses and standards in a manner that allows existing uses and development to thrive until that transition is initiated: 2. Allow for a moderate increase in residential density and to accommodate a mixture of resi-dential building types and unit sizes; 3. Enable market-based solutions to the provision of attainable housing: 4. Meet the state's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) rezoning requirements; 5. Ensure that the vision set forth in the Housing Plan is implemented: 6. Respond to neighborhood character, be compatible with community specific settings and promote basic best practices in urban design: 7. Promote infill development and revitalization that is compactand supports pedestrian-friendly development patterns with safe, effective and multi-modal transportation options;and PR-09VO-050 N SD ENC-051 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Exhibit 2016-52-B 8. Contribute to the economic and fiscal sustainability of the City. This AHE Zone is established, along with the Character Contexts and Design Contexts, which closely relate the Zone to the site's surroundings. Second generation designations may include residential or mixed-use, with a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre and a maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre (buildings in the Cardiff Town Center site are limited to two stories).AHE zoning districts that may be applied to implement the At Home in Encinitas General Plan land use designation are listed below and are determined based on the intended land use in consideration of the community character context. Second generation context combinations allowed: Neighborhood Center • Shopfront Neighborhood (AHE-S30-N) • Mixed Use Neighborhood (AHE-X30-N) • Residential Neighborhood (AHE-R30-N) Village Center • Shopfront Village (AHE-S30-\/) • Mixed Use Village (AHE-X30-\/) • Residential Village (AHE-R30-V) Main Street Corridor • Shopfront Main Street AHE-S30-M) • Mixed Use Main Street AHE-X30-M) • Residential Main Street (AHE-R30-M) The AHE Zone must be used on those sites labeled with an AHE land use designation on the City's Land Use Map in the Land Use Element of the General Plan.

PR-09VO-059 N SD ENC-060 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Exhibit 2016-52-D Exhibit 2016-52-D Amendments to the Noise Element (stFikeeut is used to denote existing text being deleted; underline is used to denote new text being added): GOAL 1: Provide an acceptable noise environment for existing and future residents of the City of Encinitas. POLICY 1.1: Develop and regularly update codes and ordinances as necessary to regulate impacts from continuous and intermittent noise sources. POLICY 1.2: Use Figure 2, the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines as a guide in determining the acceptability of exterior noise. In most circumstances,sound attenuation needs to be provided, but not necessarily mitigating sound to meet these levels. • For planning/development review purposes, "exterior noise" for single-family residential land uses is defined as noise measured at an outdoor living area that adjoins and is on the same lot as the dwelling and is provided for private open space purposes, such as improved yard space. For multi-family residential and non-residential land uses. "exterior noise' levels shall be measured from group usable open space areas. Group usable open space areas are intended for common use by occupants of a development, but do not include off-street parking and loading areas. • For code enforcement and nuisance related impacts, existing land uses, operations, and activities shall be subject to those performance standards and methods identified by the Municipal Code. POLICY 1.3: Figure 2. the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines indicates a range of land use types - and is intended to be flexible enough to apply to a range of projects and environments. In a mixed-use setting where different land use activities are located on the same parcel and/or residential uses are located above a non-residential use, noise standards for the more intensive land use category shall be used when evaluating appropriate exterior noise levels in a proposed development project. Residential exterior noise standards shall be applied to group or common outdoor use areas and shall not be applied to private spaces. POLICY 1.4: Interior noise levels for all residential units shall be attenuated to 45 Ldn. Interior noise levels for non- residential uses shall be: • Transient lodging - 45 Ldn • Private schools, libraries, churches, hospitals, and nursing homes—45 dBA Leg • Civictinstitutional, office buildings, retail, business, professional, and/or other similar commercial type — 55 dBALeq • Auxiliary office supporting industrial, warehouse and manufacturing—55 dBA Leq • No interior noise level limit for industrial, warehouse, and manufacturing. Policy 1.5: Review actions or projects that may have noise generation potential to determine what impact they may have on existing land uses. If a project would cause an increase in traffic noise levels, the policy of the City of Encinitas is to accept an increase within the "acceptable' exterior noise exposure range, as shown in Figure 2. the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines. A land use located in an area with an "acceptable' exterior noise level indicates that standard construction methods would attenuate exterior noise to an acceptable indoor noise level and that people can carry out outdoor activities with minimal noise interference. For areas where existing or future noise levels exceed "acceptable' levels of noise for the subject land use, and increase of 3 Ldn from new development would be considered an impact. The impact of non-transportation projects must generally be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

PR-09VO-060 N SD ENC-061 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Exhibit 2016-52-D These criteria may be waived if, as determined by a noise analysis, there are mitigating circumstances (such as higher existing noise levels) and/or no uses would be adversely affected. Where conditions are unusual or where backgrounds are unusually low and the characteristics of a new noise source are not adequately described by using the Ldn noise descriptor, additional acoustical analysis is encouraged and the conclusions of such analysis will be considered by the City. If acoustical study shows that exterior noise levels can't be mitigated to the established standards as noted within this chapter, the development shall not be approved without first making findings necessary to exceed the stated noise standards. Through sound attenuation and project design features, exterior noiseexposure in the "normally unacceptable" range should be reduced to "conditionally acceptable." to the extent feasible. New construction or development should not be undertaken if the noise exposure falls within the "clearly unacceptable"range as provided in Figure 2, the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines. POLICY 1.62:An 6elig ef 69 eIB is the ig9exingeing eeeeptable eeiteleeF i9eise level mig Fesielential eelteleeF else gFees. The City recognizes that there are residential areas in which existing noise levels exceed an acceptable level. The City will adopt a Noise Wall/Barrier Installation Policy for determining which areas should receive soundwalls along the major street system and to evaluate possible cost participation programs for constructing these soundwalls. POLICY 1.73: To further improve the noise environment in the City of Encinitas, the law enforcement agencvpeliee deparl+ggent-will enforce the provisions in Sections 27-150 and 27-151 of the California State Motor Vehicle Code. These sections require that all vehicles be equipped with a properly maintained muffler and that exhaust systems not be modified. POLICY 1.84: The City will limit truck traffic in residential and commercial areas to designated truck routes. Limit construction, delivery, and through truck traffic to designated routes. Distribute maps of approved truck routes to City traffic officers. POLICY 1.95: The City will establish and maintain coordination among City, County, and State agencies involved in noise abatement and other agencies to reduce noise generated from sources outside the City's jurisdiction. POLICY 1.106: Include noise mitigation measures in the design of new roadway projects recognizing that driveways, street openings, and other existing site conditions make noise mitigation impossible. POLICY 1.11 : Apply Title 24 of the California Administrative Code, associated with noise insulation standards, to single-family dwellings. POLICY 1.128: Establish noise standards for all types of noise not already identified in the General Plan or governed by existing ordinances. GOAL 2: Require that new development be designed to provide acceptable indoor and outdoor noise environments. POLICY 2.1: Figure 2,the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines,and the accompanying discussion set forth the criteria for siting new development in the City of Encinitas.Any project which would be located in a normally PR-09VO-061 N SD ENC-062 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) Exhibit 2016-52-D unacceptable noise exposure area, based on the Land Use Compatibility Guidelines, shall require an acoustical analysis. Noise attenuationngitigatierrin the future shall be incorporated in the project as needed. As a condition of approval of a project, the City may require post-construction noise monitoring and sign off by an acoustician to ensure that City requirements have been met. GOAL 4: Provide for measures to reduce noise impacts from stationary noise sources. POLICY 4.1: Ensure inclusion of noise attenuationnritigatierrmeasures in the design and operation of new and existing development. Noise Mitigation Plan, Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines Page N-14 and 15 The objective of Figure 2 is to provide an acceptable community noise environment and to minimize noise-related complaints from residents.The compatibility guidelines should be used in conjunction with the future noise exposure levels in Figure 1 to identify projects or activities which may require special treatment to minimize noise exposure. Homes should not be allowed near a freeway, for example, unless mitigation measures can effectively reduce noise exposure to "conditionally acceptable" levels. A land use or project in the "normally acceptable' category will be acceptable within the noise levels indicated, in most cases,without special noise abatement measures. For example, a home of standard construction would be an acceptable use in any area of 60 Ldn or less without special insulation, setback, or building design. The same home in an area projected for noise levels of 60 to 70 Ldn should be allowed only following an acoustical study which recommends site-specific noise attenuation measures such as double pane windows, setbacks, and/or construction of soundwalls. The following considerations should be taken into account when using the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines: The goal for maximum outdoor noise levels in residential areas is a Ldn of 60 dB. This level is a requirement to guide the design and location of future development and a goal for the reduction of noise in existing development. However, 60 Ldn is a goal which cannot necessarily be reached in all residential areas within the realm of economic or aesthetic feasibility. Figure 2, the Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines, provides "conditionally acceptable" and "normally unacceptable' noise exposure ranges. A land use project in these categories must provide a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements and needed noise insulation features included in the design. This goal should be applied where outdoor use is a major consideration (eg., backyards in single-family housing projects). The outdoor standards should not normally be applied to the small decks associated with apartments and condominiums because of the lack of use of these decks even in quiet areas. A multi-family development can often be designed in such a way that the buildings shield common outdoor areas and achieve an acceptable outdoor noise level without the use of soundwalls. For this reason, multi-family housing can often be developed more successfully in noise environments in which the Ldn exceeds 60 dB.

The Neighborhood design character context includes larger parcels of land, and therefore, larger buildings are more appropriate. Building height should remain in the range of two to three stories and buildings should orient to the street and public sidewalks. Uses may be vertically stacked or horizontally distributed. Parking should be subordinate. Internal pedestrian and auto connections are crucial to breaking up the size of very large parcels, as increased walkability is a primary desired element. Connections to adjacent developments should also be provided to support walking and biking. Enhanced connections to transit is also important.

The desired Main Street character includes buildings with a strong orientation to and interaction with the street. For mixed-use buildings, this means that the ground floor should be very transparent and welcoming, with storefronts and outdoor seating and displays. The activities inside the building should activate the sidewalk it faces. Mixed-use buildings should include housing on upper floors, with balconies or outdoor terraces overlooking the street. Residential-only projects within Main Street contexts should still orient to the street with clearly defined entries and balconies and common space fronting the street. Raised stoops and individual street-side entries are also welcome to help animate the street. Highway 101 is centrally located and near major transit routes. This proximity to transit also should be considered when designing in this context.

In no case may the Design Guidelines be used solely to reduce the density of a project. All sites were evaluated during the 2013 - 2021 Housing Element Update process and found to be developable within the allowable density range. Nonetheless, every site and project have a unique set of opportunities and constraints, which may result in a project achieving less than the maximum allowable density, but in no case shall a project develop at less than the minimum allowable density. 1' �y Design Guidelines PR-09VO-146 N SD ENC-147 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK © Design Guidelines PR-09VO-147 N SD ENC-148 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) 30 . 36 . 210 APPLYING THE DESIGN GUIDELINES A.

All projects must comply with these Principles. The Principles will be considered individually and also will be used in interpreting the design guidelines that follow. This section also includes information about the unique community features found throughout Encinitas.This is to ensure that each new project takes into consideration their unique setting in order to deliver a project that fits with and enhances the existing environment. 30.36.230 DEVELOPMENT PROTOTYPES This section provides examples of development and housing prototypes that are appropriate solutions to meeting the objectives of the new floating zones and guidelines. These examples have been vetted by the community and leaders, however, other solutions also may be appropriate. 30.36.240 SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES This section provides design guidelines related to site design. Concepts for building placement, parking,access and connectivity are included in this section. Streetscapes are also addressed, including open space, topography, neighborhood transitions, and project phasing. While section 30.36.220 Context-Sensitive Design is broad in nature, relating to a larger context,the section on site design focuses on the individual project and how it relates to its immediate neighbors. 30.36.250 BUILDING DESIGN GUIDELINES This section provides design guidelines for individual buildings.

BASIC DESIGN CONCEPTS Each project should be designed to respond to a `tiered"set of concepts related to community character and the individual setting. Those levels of consideration are illustrated here, and are explained in more detail in Section 30.36.220. 1. DESIGN PRINCIPLES Overarching design principles express citywide design objectives. They are: • Design with Consistency&Integrity Respond to the Street • Respond to Neighborhood Context Provide a Sense of Scale • Design with Individuality Balance Indoor and Outdoor Activity • Design for Views Provide a Progression of Space COMMUNITY 2.

HOUSING ELEMENT COMMON THEMES Several `themes" evolved during the update to the City's Housing Element, leading up to creation of the At Home in Encinitas Zone. They include broad objectives that serve the community, the environment, and the economy, as well as appropriate design character. These themes that should be reflected in new designs. • ON • New development should respond to basic commercial or housing needs, but should also help create community centers that are distinctive and reflect the unique historical, cultural, economic, and geographical context of the area. By maintaining the unique character of Encinitas we are looking for the types of physical environments that create a sense of civic pride, and therefore support a more cohesive community fabric. 2. MIXED USE BUILDINGS IN KEY ACTIVITY CENTERS Afundamental goal is to achieve a full array of different land uses and structures which work togetherto create vibrant communities. Developments that have medium to high densities and mixed land uses brings origins and destinations closer together and provide retail-residential synergies. It means that streets have more activity and interest, which leads to a greater propensity to walk and use transit to lower auto ownership rates. 3. MIXTURE OF • AND THREE-STORY BUILDINGS By creating clear concepts through prototype designs, and providing clear examples of what is considered appropriate or desirable mixed use for different areas, the community can shape the projects that developers propose to provide more compatible uses and offer sensitive transitions to established lower density neighborhoods. 4. GROW SMALL BUSINESSES AND EMPLOYMENT High quality communities with architectural and natural elements are more likelyto retain their economic vitality and value overtime. Residents provide a market and employees for business and, in turn, businesses provide desired amenities and employment opportunities for residents.

WALKABLE PLACES & SOCIAL GATHERING SPACES How and where residential,commercial, and industrial structures are arranged define the basic land use patterns,which are relevant for travel because they determine how close destinations are to one another. A combination of land use policies, implemented with transportation demand management strategies, can have significant effect on travel behavior. Walkable communities enhance mobility, reduce negative environmental consequences, strengthen economies, improve public health, and support stronger communities through improved social interaction. ENVIRONMENT 6. MAINTAIN SMALL SCALE BUILT Attractive design is critical to balance the competing demands placed on infill, compact development. A design review function can help preserve community character that exists, but also to ensure that new development reflects an appropriate scale and complementary style to make residents feel comfortable and secure. The preference is to manage new development so that it is phased over time to meet future housing needs, while at the same time being well-designed and built to function as an asset to the community. Design Guidelines PR-09VO-160 N So ENC-161 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) • - Design Design Principles G. DESIGN PRINCIPLES Each project in the At Home in Encinitas Zone should follow several overarching design principles. They are the first step in articulating the goals and characteristics associated with healthy, vibrant and diverse communities that offer residents more choices of how and where we live. These design principles include: Design with consistency and integrity. CONSISTENCY 1. DESIGN WITH Each design must have a coordinated design concept. Materials, massing and details should be used in a consistent manner.This often is the well-composed expression of a specific architectural style; in other cases, the design may be more vernacular, even eclectic, but overall it must have a sense of order and place within the community. 2. RESPOND TO NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT Response to setting includes respect for the character of Respond to neighborhood context. neighboring properties.While each design is unique,those within individual neighborhoods should have a sense of relatedness, which is derived in part from building placement on a site, a repetition of uniform setbacks, and continuity in materials, massing and form. Community character is important because it helps summarize the look and feel of different places, corridors, and open spaces. 3. DESIGN WITH INDIVIDUALITY Designing each building to be unique is also a tradition in Encinitas. Each is aesthetically interesting, while restrained in character - they are not ostentatious or "over-the-top." Many Design with individuality. structures and landscapes are custom-built. Even where a developer has built several structures in close proximity, each is an individual design. Repeated design often associated with a tract development is contrary to the city's design traditions and is inappropriate. Each project should also find what works best for people, strengthening the connection between people and the places they share through a building's form and shape, _ place making, arts and culture, and/or incorporation of art. Design for views. 4. DESIGN • - For many properties in Encinitas, views to scenic attractions, including the ocean and foothills are key aspects of design. The mass of a building should be positioned to maximize these view opportunities, and outdoor use areas should be planned to take advantage of these assets. Design sites and buildings that do not appear to loom out of scale over adjacent buildings. M Design Guidelines PR-09VO-161 N So ENC-162 BALLOT MEASURE (continued) • - Design Design Principles RESPOND 5. - THE STREET A special characteristic of Encinitas'design traditions is that each property has details which are visually attractive and interesting to people on the street.This may be a porch that faces the street, the artful composition of an entire building facade, or a well- maintained landscape. In some areas, designs offera finer grain, perhaps as an ornamental detail on the face of a building, in the treatment of a balcony or deck or placement of an ornamental Respond to the street. planter at the street edge. Each reflects an acknowledgment that an individual property is a part of the greater whole and that the neighborhood is enriched by this contribution to the public way. fl PROVIDE 6. OF Buildings and landscapes that convey a sense of scale are also a part of the design traditions in Encinitas. This scale is conveyed in the overall massing of structures as well as the way in which windows, doors, and details give a sense of a building's size and presence to the street. The texture of materials and the manner in which they are assembled do so as well. This helps one comprehend the building in the context to a person's size. 7. BALANCE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITY Each design should make use of outdoor areas as well as indoor spaces, and reflect the scenic appeal and mild climate Providea sense of scale. of the setting. It may be manifest in patios, gardens and decks that extend living outside. These features add green space and amenities to neighborhoods. PROVIDE 8. • • • OF Each property should have a sequence of spaces that leads from the public realm, then transitions into a "semi-public" area and then ends with the private building entry.

COMMUNITY FEATURES Each project should reinforce the design traditions of the community in which it is located. These community character perspectives are particularly critical in making sure new development generally fits in within the existing neighborhood and is complementary to what exists today. A brief description of some of the key features of each community is presented in this section. 1. OLD ENCINITAS: Old Encinitas, located in the center of the city, serves as the historic core and downtown forthe City.

Highway 101 ,with its iconic"Encinitas" k archway sign, serves as the "main street' for the entire city. Its traditional grid of uniformly-sized lots and blocks with buildings located at the sidewalk edge creates a more "urban" character. Buildings are modest in scale, but many are two or more stories. Storefronts with awnings and sidewalk cafes are common. A variety of architectural styles exists. Roof heights are also varied. Many include traditional "low pitch" roofs with varied cornice heights and others include more steeply pitched styles. East of Sidewalk cafes and small courtyards Highway 101 and the railroad, the topography slopes upward occur frequently. offering views of the ocean from many east-west streets. Because this "cultural district"still greatly resembles the natural beach town lifestyle that existed when woodies and longboards lined the coastline, Downtown offers a fascinating mixture of future and past. It remains one of the few places in California where you can find an eclectic mix of 1960s inspired beach culture combined with boutique shopping, contemporary restaurants, new age meditation gardens, and yoga studios.

Its major streets include Highway 101 and Interstate 5 (running north-south) and Leucadia Boulevard and La Costa Avenue (running east-west). Leucadia is centered on the Highway 101 corridor, which features eclectic architecture and a beachside culture. Buildings along Highway 101 are modest in scale, but vibrant with bold colors. Outdoor cafe seating and small street-facing plazas abound. a, Buildings only face Highway 101 on the west side. On the east side, the railroad runs parallel to Highway 101 . Most properties along Highway 101 are within walking distance to Beacon's Beach, with its panoramic cliffside views and pedestrian access. Ocean views also exist from upper floors of buildings along Highway 101 . East of Highway 101 , the character of Leucadia is made up of traditional low-scale residential neighborhoods. Examples of its agricultural traditions are also apparent.

Unlike Leucadia and Old Encinitas, Cardiff's development is predominantly east of Highway 101 with San Elijo State Park located west of Highway 101 along the coast. Cardiff's major arterials include Highway 101 and Interstate 5 running north-south and Santa Fe Drive and San Elijo Avenue running east-west. Cardiff's location, being east of Highway 101 ,distinguishes it from the other coastal communities that have development west of Highway 101 and directly adjacent to the beach.This separation from the ocean makes Cardiff feel independent and unique. The term "village" is often used to describe it. Because of its location and topography, Cardiff includes exceptional ocean views, even from some ground floors or outdoor areas. Its architecture is more eclectic and colorful, like Leucadia's. A variety of land uses are present and housing density, in proximity to its "center," is more apparent than in other communities.

NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER DE • f�f The Neighborhood Center design context exists along centrally- located commercial centers on major arterials. This context is usually organized in the form of a "node" - where a major intersection serves as the destination, or in a linear "corridor.,, The Neighborhood Center context is envisioned as transforming from what is today one of strictly commercial land uses into more of a mixture of uses where residential units add to the vibrancy of the place and offer more sensitive transitions to surrounding single family neighborhoods. Improving walkability also is important. This context includes larger parcels of land, and therefore, larger buildings are more appropriate. Building height should remain in the range of two to three stories and buildings should orient to the street and public sidewalks. Uses may be vertically stacked or horizontally distributed. Parking should be subordinate. Internal pedestrian and auto connections are crucial to breaking up the size of very large parcels, as increased walkability is a primary desired element in this context.

PARKING DESIGN The visual impacts of parking within a development should be minimized and be buffered from public ways in order to promote a walkable neighborhood and support the traditional "natural"character of Encinitas. Each parking facility should contribute in a positive way to the neighborhood while avoiding negative impacts on traffic. When designing sites that include automotive parking, consider how the provision of parking can affect the use of more active modes of travel such as walking, bicycling and public transit. 1.

Known as the Shot Hole Borer, this pest burrows into a tree's bark, lays eggs and carries a fungus that clogs the tree's vascular system, ultimately killing the tree. The shot hole borer can attack many types of trees including avocado, landscape, riparian and native trees. Dead and dying trees can affect public safety due to falling limbs, flooding caused by blocked waterways, and increased fire danger. BUY IT WHERE YOU BURN IT Help local, state and federal agencies in their efforts to contain this damaging pest. Insects and diseases can be transported long distances on firewood. Once they arrive in a new location, they can infest and kill nearby trees. Please use locally sourced firewood to help slow the spread of non-native pests, including invasive Shot Hole Borers. HOW YOU CAN HELP • Leave firewood at home; do not transport wood to campgrounds or parks • Purchase firewood in the area you plan to use it • Buy wood for home heating from local sources • Bring only what you need and always burn responsibly LEARN MORE sdcounty.ca.gov/awm dontmovefirewood.org pshb.org sdparks.org firewood.ca.gov R % U� llniversityofCali Farnia �* agric Alumand Natural Rmurc J"6i x z CECnnperaiiee Emersion r�lntra; SD-USCOT N SD ENC-227 SNP 4 4{d I�ny, k cam` "hvaex:'z"4�u COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO OFFICE OF MILITARY & VETERANS AFFAIRS Serving Those 97ho .Have Served Comprehensive Benefits Counseling VA Compensation and Pension CalVet Tuition Fee Waiver Certification of Discharge (DD-214) Military Records and Corrections VA Vocational Training/Rehabilitation VA Education Benefits Veterans Survivors and Burial Benefits VA Disability Life Insurance and Waiver California Drivers License Veterans Certification Call (858) 694-3222 H You Served, YOU EARA7ED OLIVE SAN DIEGO SD-OMVA N SD ENC-228 San Diego County Department of Animal Services SPIRIT FUND Spirit Fund r jy$ J f L" V � • The Spirit Fund was created in July 2008 when a badly beaten puppy was left barely alive at the U.S. border.
