SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ON LFMP 87-12(A) - ZONE 12 LFMP UPDATE
JUSTIFICATION FOR PRIOR COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION
The proposed LFMP amendment is covered by a previously certified
Environmental Impact Report EIR 86-02, A (attached) .
The prior environmental documentation prepared for LFMP 12 included
considerations for all facilities required as part of the Plan
including Parks, Circulation, sewer, water, city administrative
facilities and library, wastewater, drainage, open space and
schools. The proposed change to the LFMP for Zone 12 will not
alter the ability of the City to achieve these facilities nor
significantly change potential environmental impacts of
implementing these facilities as covered by prior environmental
documentation .
The approved Zone 12 LFMP includes a financing plan. This
amendment merely alters the options to finance some of the
facilities required by the LFMP for the zone. The prior
environmental documentation, therefore, covered impacts of the
financing of this Plan.
The potential environmental impacts of LFMP 87-12 (A) are covered in
previously certified environmental documents, therefore no
additional environmental review is necessary and a notice of
determination should be filed.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. INTRODUCTION
This EIR has been prepared in accordance with the California environ-
mental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) , as amended (Public Resources Code,
Section 21000, et seq.) and the State Guidelines for Implementation of
the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended (Califor-
nia Administrative Code Section 15000, et seq.)- This report complies
with the rules, regulations, and procedures for implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act adopted by the City of Carlsbad.
This EIR provides an overall analysis of potential impacts associated
with implementation of the proposed project. The issues discussed
within the EIR are those which have been identified in the course of
extensive review of all potentially significant environmental impacts
associated with the proposed project. This review included preparation
of an Initial Study (Appendix A) , issuance of a Notice of Preparation
(Appendix A) , additional public input at a Scoping Meeting (Appendix
B) , and subsequent letters from concerned citizens.
B. LEAD AGENCY
The Lead Agency for the preparation of the EIR is the City of Carlsbad.
The contact person for the City is :
Mr. Lance Schulte
Associate Planner
2075 Las Palmas Drive
Carlsbad, California 92009
(619) 438-1161
C. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project area encompasses approximately 669.5 gross acres. Two
existing developments, Rancho del Ponderosa (120.0 net acres) and Santa
Fe Ridge (42.5 net acres) are located in the southern portion of the
project site. Existing dwellings for these two developments total 589.
A development called La Costa South I (CT 85-6), located along the
eastern project boundary, is approved for construction. This develop-
ment encompasses approximately 51.4 net acres and is proposed to be
built with 224 dwelling units.
Approximately 962 single-family dwellings are proposed on the undevel-
oped (424.5 acres) portion of the project area. A junior high and an
elementary school are also being proposed. The junior high school will
occupy approximately 29.3 acres and enroll 1,000 students. The pro-
posed elementary school will occupy approximately 12 . 8 acres and have
an enrollment of 350 students. Approximately 92.0 gross acres of open
space are proposed. Also being proposed is a 5.0 acre community sports
complex. The City has indicated that the complex will have facilities
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PAGE vi
similar to a country club. It will include an "Olympic size" swimming
pool, 4,000 square foot day care center, 5,000 square foot meeting hall
and three tennis courts.
D. REQUIRED DISCRETIONARY ACTIONS ADDRESSED IN THE EIR
Implementation of the proposed project will require the following
discretionary actions by the Lead Agency.
1. Certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Certifica-
tion of an environmental document requires that the EIR be pre-
pared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and certification that the data
will be considered in final decisions on the project. The EIR
covers all of Zone 12 except for Rancho Ponderosa and the North-
western Pacific Railroad Property as shown on Exhibit 4 on page
9. The EIR analyzes impacts due to actions 2-6 listed below.
2. General Plan Amendment. The project proposes an amendment to the
Land Use Element of the Carlsbad General Plan. This amendment
would eliminate sites designated RMH and Travel-Service, expand
the areas designated Residential Medium, and change the boundaries
of the areas designated Residential Low Medium and Open Space.
The existing General Plan designations for this area are shown on
Exhibit 5 on page 11. The proposed General Plan Designations are
shown on Exhibit 6 on page 12.
3. Master Plan Amendment. The Arroyo La Costa Master Plan will
replace the southwest portion of the existing La Costa Master
Plan. The amendment will bring this portion of the La Costa Mas-
ter Plan into conformance with the General Plan and current City
ordinances and standards. This amendment will also revise land
use designations within this portion of the La Costa Master Plan.
Designations and boundaries are shown on Exhibit 7 on page 13.
The land use is itemized on Table A on page 14.
4. Zone Change. The proposed Zone Change will incorporate one iso-
lated parcel near Madrilena Way into the Master Plan. This pro-
perty is presently zoned R-l and is proposed to be rezoned to P-C.
It will be designated as open space by the General Plan and Master
Plan. The area of the zone change is shown on Exhibit 8 on page
16.
5. Local Facility Management Plan Amendment. The LFMP amendment
revises the approved Zone 12 LFMP to ensure consistency with the
General Plan and Master Plan Amendments. Primarily, the plan will
be updated to reflect new land use, public facility, and financial
information that was not available when the existing plan was
approved. In no case will the total number of dwellings allowed
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PAGE vii
per the existing LFMP be exceeded by the amendment to this plan.
The boundaries of Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 12 are
shown on Exhibit 9 on page 17.
6. Tentative Tract Map. Planned Development Permits. Hillside Devel-
opment Permit. The City requires approval of a Tract Map in
accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act and Title 20 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code. The tentative tract map proposed by the
La Costa Ranch Company will create 962 residential lots ranging in
size from 5,000 square feet to 16,000 square feet in size. The
tentative map includes a portion of an approved tentative map
(CT85-6). The proposed dwelling units will range in size from
1,500 to 3,500 square feet. The proposed map creates the residen-
tial lots as well as two school sites, a community sports complex,
open space lots, a recreational vehicle storage lot, and public
streets.
The Planned Development Permit is required to create residential
lots less than 7,500 square feet in size. The boundaries of the
Planned Development and Tract Map are shown on Exhibit 10 on page
18.
The Hillside Development Permit is required because: 1) slopes
greater than 15 percent occur onsite; and 2) the elevation dif-
ferential is greater than 15 feet.
E. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
A tabular summary of the impacts, mitigation measures, and level of
significance after mitigation is provided in the Project Sum-
mary/Matrix in Section II.
F. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The following discussion evaluates alternatives to the proposed pro-
ject. For purposes of CEQA, the "project" is: an amendment to the
Land Use Element of the General Plan; zone change; master plan amend-
ment; Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) amendment; a Carlsbad
Tract Map; Planned Development permit; and a Hillside Development per-
mit.
This section discusses a range of actions that are potential alterna-
tives to the proposed project. It is the intent of the Alternatives
section to evaluate those alternatives that may be capable of elimina-
ting, or reducing to a level of insignificance, adverse impacts asso-
ciated with the proposed project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PAGE viil
NO PROJECT/NO DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE
The No Project/No Development alternative is included in this EIR as
required by CEQA Guidelines. This alternative would retain the site in
its existing condition and assumes no further development of the site.
In general, the No Project/No Development alternative would be envi-
ronmentally superior to the proposed project because it would essen-
tially freeze existing land uses within the project plan area. Impacts
associated with land use, traffic, noise, air quality, earth resources,
hydrology, biology aesthetics, light and glare, cultural resources, and
public services and utilities would remain at current levels and would
be less than the proposed project.
Overall, this alternative is considered environmentally superior to the
proposed project and should remain under consideration during the pub-
lic review process.
ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL SITE
Development of this alternative includes implementation of an alterna-
tive site design that switches school sites. This alternative assumes
development of 916 dwelling units, 46 units less than the proposed pro-
ject.
This development alternative is very similar in design to the proposed
project. The major difference is that with this alternative, the two
school sites are switched. The junior high school is placed north of
Calle Barcelona and the elementary school is south of Calle Barcelona.
Additionally, this alternative proposes a 10-acre village center with
possible commercial uses in place of the sports complex.
Overall, this alternative is not considered environmentally superior to
the proposed project. It should remain under consideration during the
public review process. The dwelling unit count proposed with this
alternative is only five percent less than the proposed project. Pos-
sible decreases in traffic, noise, and air quality impacts due to a
decrease in dwelling will be offset by the onsite village center.
Also, with a project of this size, a five percent difference may be
imperceivable. It should be noted that the school configuration pro-
posed with this alternative is not considered optimal by either school
district. This less desirable school site location and design would
impact the school district's ability to effectively service the sur-
rounding area.
EXISTING MASTER PLAN ALTERNATIVE
This alternative assumes development of the project site under the
existing Master Plan. Under this alternative, a total of 954 dwelling
units could be built, 8 less than the proposed project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PAGE ix
In general, this alternative is very similar to the proposed project.
The major difference is that the existing Master Flan allows medium-
high density dwelling units to occur. These are typically low-rise
multi-family attached units. This alternative would also involve
travel service commercial uses which have been eliminated with the pro-
posed project.
Overall this alternative is not considered environmentally superior to
the proposed project. Impacts associated with traffic, noise, and air
quality would be less than the proposed project. Impacts associated
with earth resources, hydrology, aesthetics, light and glare, cultural
resources, and public services and utilities will be similar to the
proposed project. Impacts associated with land use and biology will be
greater than the proposed project. It should remain under consider-
ation during the public review process.
.G. LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT-TERM USES OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND
THE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY
A majority of the project site (424.5 acres) is presently undeveloped.
Approximately 154.5 acres are currently developed with 589 detached
single-family dwellings. An additional 51.1 acres are approved for
development with 224 dwelling units. Implementation of the proposed
project represents a long-term commitment of the undeveloped portion of
the site to residential, school, and open space land uses.
The project will contribute to cumulative impacts related to land use
urbanization, traffic, traffic-related noise levels, air quality,
changes in topography, runoff rates and volume, groundwater recharge,
biological resources, aesthetics, light and glare, cultural resources,
and public services and utilities. Short-term impacts of the project
include localized increases in noise and air quality associated with
construction activities.
Project benefits include provision of housing, school structures, rec-
reational amenities, retention of significant riparian habitats and
slopes as permanent natural open space, and potentially new sources of
revenue.
SIGNIFICANT IRREVERSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES WHICH WOULD BE INVOLVED
IN THE PROPOSED ACTIONS
Implementation of the proposed project will result in the following
significant irreversible environmental changes:
0 Urbanization of non-urbanized land
0 Commitment of limited resources (i.e., forest products, petro-
chemicals , etc.)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
^PAGE x
0 Commitment of labor and capital investment
GROWTH-INDUCING IMPACTS
Development of the site will convert currently undeveloped land to an
urbanized environment. Most of the surrounding area located in the
City of Carlsbad (and adjoining City of Encinitas) has been developed
or is approved for development. The City of Carlsbad's General Plan
and Zoning Ordinance designate the project site for residential devel-
opment. The project is a logical extension of urban development. It is
not expected to create new development pressures on undeveloped parcels
in the local area or surrounding region.
H. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the proposed project is to develop a predom-
inantly vacant site into a residential and open space community of 962
single-family dwellings, a community sports complex, two schools, and
natural and improved open space. The objectives of the City and pro-
ject proponent are provided below:
" Create desirable single family neighborhoods within a Master
Planned community which is focused around an open space system, in
conjunction with public schools, community recreation, and day
care center.
0 Preserve and enhance significant open space areas such as riparian
corridors, oak trees, and large slopes.
0 Ensure development is compatible with and enhances surrounding
residential development.
0 Implement Carlsbad's General Plan, Zone 12 Local Facilities Man-
agement Plan and all applicable City ordinances, regulations, and
policies.
0 Provide an integrated open space system of pedestrian and bicycle
trails separated from auto traffic, to encourage safe, nonmotor-
ized transportation. Design the open space trail system so that
it can be connected to open space systems within the southeastern
quadrant of Carlsbad.
0 Create and maintain an open space network that appropriately buf-
fers and links neighborhoods within the Master Plan and the Master
Plan community to surrounding land uses.
0 Conserve the rolling valley topography of the Master Plan area.
8 Create an attractive, buffered circulation system that safely and
aesthetically provides for the needs of automobiles, cyclists,
pedestrians, and adjacent land uses.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct an
Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment.
The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This
checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project
and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report or Negative Declaration.
* A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or
any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checked
to indicate this determination.
* An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the
project may cause a significant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative
Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed
insignificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings "YES-sig" and 'YES-insig"
respectively.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing
mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
WILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: YES YES NO
(sig) (insig)
33. Does the project have the potential
to substantially degrade the quality
of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wild-
life species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or
animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or en-
dangered plant or animal, or eliminate
important examples of the major periods
of California history or prehistory. X
34. Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the dis-
advantage of long-term, environmental
goals? (A short-term impact on the
environment is one which occurs in a
relatively brief, definitive period of
time while long-term impacts will
endure well into the future.) X
35. Does the project have the possible
environmental effects which are in-
dividually limited but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively con-
siderable" means that the incremental
effects of an individual project are
considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the
effects of other current projects, and
the effects of probable future projects.) X
36. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? X
-5-
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
The proposed LFMP amendments are covered by previously certified environmental documents, Environmental
Impact Report EIR 86-02, and a Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director on December 11,1987,
(attached).
The prior environmental documentation prepared for LFMP's 11 and 12 included considerations for all
facilities required as part of the Plan including Parks, Circulation, sewer, water, city administrative facilities
and library, wastewater, drainage, open space and schools. The proposed change to the LFMP's for Zones
11 and 12 will not alter the ability of the City to achieve these facilities nor significantly change potential
environmental impacts of implementing these facilities as covered by prior environmental documentation.
No significant changes to the original project are proposed and there are no changes in circumstances which
would significantly affect this project.
The approved Zones 11 and 12 LFMP's include a financing plan. This amendment merely alters the options
to finance some of the facilities required by the LFMP's for the zones. The prior environmental
documentation, therefore, covered impacts of the financing of this Plan.
-6-
ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS:
a) Phased development of the project,
b) alternate site designs,
c) alternate scale of development,
d) alternate uses for the site,
e) development at some future time rather than now,
f) alternate sites for the proposed project, and
g) no project alternative
Viable alternatives to the proposed project were analyzed in previously approved environmental documents.
-7-
DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
_X I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because the
environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction with
previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review is required.
Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative Declaration will be proposed.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is required.
