CANTARINI RANCH
CARLSBAD, CA
Property Description
The 140-acre Cantarini Ranch (CT 00-18, FEIR 02-02) subdivision was approved in 2004/05 by the City of Carlsbad for development of 105 half-acre lots with ~55 acres of natural “HMP” open space. The property’s higher elevation and gently rolling hills provide sweeping pastoral and blue-water vistas. This carefully planned neighborhood brings the rural-estate vision of Carlsbad’s Sunny Creek Specific Plan (SP 191) to life, with half-acre minimum lot sizes, over-sized front- and side-yard building set-backs, expansive open space and an extensive trail system.
The Zone 15 / Sunny Creek area, with Cantarini Ranch at the center, is an ~ 850-acre rural refuge bounded by the Agua Hedionda Creek riparian preserve on the west, large natural “HMP” open space preserves on the south and east, and College Blvd. (future) on the north. The Sunny Creek area represents the last large coastal development opportunity in north San Diego County.
Development of the Sunny Creek area will include construction of the last section of College Blvd. (“Reach A”), which will provide residents with convenient access to Carlsbad’s pristine beaches, high-wage employers and a wide array of superior quality public services and amenities, including abundant parks & hiking trails, world class golf, resorts, restaurants, breweries, shopping, live entertainment and Palomar Airport.
Updates
- April / May 2022. The City of Carlsbad - Council, Planning Commission & Traffic & Mobility Commission public hearings will address recently enacted CA State laws affecting housing, the entitlement/permit process, traffic service quality and capital improvement priorities, particularly transportation / roadway improvements.
Market/Economy
The Federal Reserve’s aggressive efforts to tame inflation have driven the cost of debt financing substantially higher, in a short period of time, nearly doubling the 30-year fixed mortgage rate and significantly increasing business borrowing costs. Higher mortgage rates coupled with extraordinary increases in home prices, construction materials and labor, is adversely impacting homebuilding businesses, which are expected to slow significantly throughout the rest of 2022. While the Fed continues raising its benchmark rate and withdrawing liquidity from the market, the adverse impacts of rising inflation and higher debt costs will manifest in lower consumption and raise the risk of recession (stagflation).
