The Housing Element Advisory Committee was formed to help city staff and decision makers update Carlsbad's housing plan. The committee met several times between January and December 2020.

Duties

The committee oversaw the Housing Element update to accommodate new housing growth projections developed by the state through the San Diego Association of Governments in an effort known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment.

Membership

The committee consisted of a total of nine members: four representatives from existing city commissions, one resident from each city quadrant, and one at-large member. Each City Council member recommended one member to represent one of the four quadrants of the city: northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast. The "at-large" member was recommended by the mayor. The Housing, Planning, Senior, and Traffic and Mobility commissions each nominated one of their members to serve. The full City Council made the final decision on all nominations and appointment recommendations. Members were required to be City of Carlsbad residents and registered voters. Members served one-year terms.

The committee included the following members:

• David Barnett, NW quadrant resident representative
• Diane Proulx (Vice Chair), NE quadrant resident representative
• Daniel Weis, SW quadrant resident representative
• Terri Novak, SE quadrant resident representative
• Carl Streicher, At-large (citywide) resident representative
• Carolyn Luna (Chair), Planning Commission representative
• Joy Evans, Housing Commission representative
• Sheri Sachs, Senior Commission representative
• Brandon Perez, Traffic & Mobility Commission representative
