   A Multi-Generational Community
of Townhomes, Flats and Lofts

A Brief History

In 2019, we met the City Planner of Carlsbad, who encouraged us to propose a multi-family project on the SWC of El Camino Real and Chestnut Avenue, now Site #3 of the Housing Element Plan.  

​

In 2020 and again in March 2021, we submitted preliminary applications for a multi-family community, with accessible ground floor units for disabled individuals or seniors, large open recreation spaces, together with smaller townhouses and flats.

​

The City responded with detailed letters to continue the process and we engaged professionals to address the issues of our neighbors and staff:

​

  • A Biologist created an on-site inspection report indicating there were no species of concern.

  • ​

  • ASM Affiliates, the consultant for the El Camino Real widening advised us of Cultural and Paleontological issues. 

  • ​

  • A new Topography Map was created to resolve Engineering issues, pertaining to Hillside development and slope changes in all directions.

  •  

  • We created a Storm Water Management plan, based on the 2021 changes in the State law.

  • ​

  • Ingress and Egress was resolved by City staff requiring all sites to take access from the existing El Camino Real opening, only as a Right turn in and Right turn out

​

Our goal has always been to work with all our neighbors to develop a project suitable to the location to provide housing opportunities for Carlsbad families and seniors.

​

A multi-generational community where a grandparent could live in the same neighborhood as a family buying their first home would be the ideal accomplishment.

​

Today’s design represents what we believe is the best answer to that challenge:

​

Our project is expected to include 15% to 20% of the units that meet Moderate income levels of

affordability as stated in the Housing Element Plan.

​

Smaller townhouses will allow for lower Market prices by combining indoor living

spaces with cost-efficient private outdoor areas.  

​

Parking will be provided on-site per code for all occupants.


​Moderately Affordable Housing has an annual income test of between

80% to 120% of the San Diego Area Median Income of $116,800. 

 

In 2023 that meant yearly income from $110,250 as adjusted for a family of four, our development is meant to appeal to households of four people earning up to $140,150 per year.  

​

The above is according to SD County information at

We look forward to your thoughts as well, Thank You
