City of Carlsbad
The City of Carlsbad, located 35 miles north of downtown San
Diego along North County's scenic coastline, offers a myriad of
opportunities for companies wanting to locate in a dynamic community.
Firms such as Callaway, Taylor Made, Cobra Golf, ViaSat, Isis
Pharmaceuticals, Invitrogen, and Beckman Coulter represent a handful
of businesses already enjoying Carlsbad's attributes.
Carlsbad has enjoyed a strong local economy for many years, much
of which has come from industrial development. The Carlsbad General
Plan designates approximately 2,500 acres in the central corridor
of the City for planned industrial use. Light manufacturing, research
and development, communications and corporate headquarters, as
well as other types of high technology and bioscience industries
are encouraged and permitted in the corridor. Most available lots
are graded with street improvements and utilities already in place.
Quality of life is a very important consideration for Carlsbad's
82,000 residents, as it is to City government. Carlsbad's city
leaders are open to economic growth, while remaining sensitive
to ecological concerns. To preserve quality of life, the City
has enacted an innovative growth management program that ensures
adequate public facilities are in place concurrent with new development.
Public facilities include parks, libraries, infrastructure and
open space. Requirements of this program have already been addressed
for the central industrial corridor.
