WHEREAS, staff are requesting that the City Council authorize an increase in the City Manager
or designee’s authority to approve change orders for the Project by $800,000 for a total change order
authority of $2,495,198; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the city to

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.On July 19, 1977, the City Council certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR-380)
for the Monroe Street Pool, at the time identified as the “community swimming pool.”
The project is within the scope of the prior environmental document and no further
environmental documentation is required per California Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines Section 15162. The conditional use permit, CUP-158, and the certified
environmental impact report, EIR-380, for the Community Swim Complex allowed for
larger pool(s), building(s) and parking lots than what was originally constructed. All
applicable mitigation measures contained in the prior environmental document have
either been satisfied previously and/or were made conditions of approval of the
project’s approved conditional use permit. There have not been substantial changes to
the circumstances under which the project is undertaken and there have been no new
significant environmental effects that would modify or change any mitigation measures.
The pool operates in conjunction with the existing school facility, and the proposed
changes do not result in new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified impacts because the site and neighborhood context have not
changed. Projects constructed by the school district since the pool was constructed
have not impacted pool operations. The changes to the pool will have no impact to the
adjacent school facilities. The mitigation measures to reduce impacts remain in place
and are adequate to maintain the same level of significance studied in the previous EIR,
therefore none of the situations in Section 15162 (a) exist and no additional
environmental review is necessary. The certified environmental impact report and

mitigation measures are on file for review at the Planning Division. The City Planner
determined on Feb. 7, 2023, that design Concept 3 was consistent with the approved
conditional use permit for the Community Swim Complex (the former name of the
Monroe Street Pool).
3.That the City Manager, or designee, is authorized to appropriate a total additional
amount of $800,000, to be funded with $272,000 from the Infrastructure Replacement
Fund, $424,000 from the General Capital Construction Fund, and $104,000 from the
northwest quadrant Park-In-Lieu Fees to the Monroe Street Pool Renovation and
Replacement Project, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 4724.
4. That the City Council authorizes an $800,000 increase in the City Manager or designee’s
authority to approve construction change orders for a total change order authority of
$2,495,198 for the Monroe Street Pool Renovation and Replacement Project, Capital
Improvement Program Project No. 4724.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City
