Carlsbad OKs 329 apartments for Aviara Parkway site [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
Carlsbad has approved a complex with 329 rental apartments, including 81 units for low-income residents to help meet the state’s affordable housing goals on a 9.2-acre lot bisected by Aviara Parkway.
Most of the apartments designated as affordable will be reserved for residents whose income does not exceed 90 percent of the area’s median income, which for San Diego County this year is $92,700. Seven apartments will be designated for “very low-income residents,” who earn no more than 30 percent of the area’s median income.
Carlsbad planning commissioners unanimously approved the four-story project at their Dec. 16 meeting. Several commissioners said the location just south of Palomar Airport Road will be a good fit with nearby land uses.
