A CRJ-900 is not exactly a short field plane. The CRJ-700 is a better performer in that area.
The CRJ-705 would be a good choice (big engine -700).
The Carlsbad runway is 4897 x 150 ft. Any jet airliner coming out of there will be weight restricted, IMHO. As we all know, just getting out isn't the criteria to meet. Rejected take-off at V1 is. I don't know how low V1 can go....
