NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as
follows:
1.That the above recitations are true and correct.
2.That the City Council has determined that in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, procedures and CEQA Guidelines sections 15080
through 15097, a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), State Clearinghouse
No. 2012021006 (City Planning Case No. EIR 12-01), was certified as complete on Nov.
13, 2012 by the City Council for the Sewer Master Plan and Carlsbad Municipal Water
District Water Master Plan and Recycled Water Master Plan Updates (Resolution No.
2012-245). A first addendum to the Final EIR 12-01 was prepared for the 2019 Master
Plan Update and adopted on Sept. 17, 2019, (Resolution No. 2019-183). Pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines section 15168, the request to approve a change in the scope of work
for CIP Project No. 5548 is within the scope of the Project covered by a previously
certified PEIR and no new environmental document is required. There is no public
review period required. The effects of the Project were examined in the PEIR and
Addendum and all feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the PEIR
are incorporated into the resolution approving the change in the scope of work for CIP
Project No. 5548. Further, since no changes to the PEIR or Addendum are necessary to
support the Project, the city is not required to prepare an Addendum or Supplemental
EIR to the PEIR per State CEQA Guidelines section 15164. Therefore, the prior PEIR is
sufficient to support the proposed action. No further analysis or environmental
documentation is required.
3.That the City Council has determined that the proposed action of rehabilitation of
existing sewer manhole structures is categorically exempt from environmental review
under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 because it involves the maintenance, repair or
minor alteration of existing facilities with negligible or no expansion of the existing or
