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 sinnificant 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
insinnificant. 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
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.
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.)
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.)
36. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Physical Environment
PHysrcAL ENVIRONMENT:
1-4: Earth The project entails 24,000 cubic yards of grading on a previously disturbed industrial lot in the
Carlsbad Oaks East Industrial Park to accommodate a 242,712 sq. foot industrial building. This will not result
in unstable earth conditions, appreciable change in topography or unique physical features, erosion, or modify
any water bodies.
5-6: & The proposed industrial/office building will not significantly cause negative impacts to air quality
or affect air movement.
7-8: Water Resources The project will not significantly change the flow of water or affect the quantity or
quality of surface water as the approved plan will adequately handle drainage from the site.
9. Natural Resources The site has been disturbed by prior grading. No significant natural resources will
be impacted.
10. Archaeolonical/Paleontolonical/Historical No structures exist on site and the immediate vicinity has
been previously developed with no significant discoveries.
BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT:
12-16. Plant Life/Animal Life/A&culture - The site is an infill lot which has been previously disturbed by
grading. The project will not decrease the amount of acreage of a prime agricultural crop.
17. Land Use The proposed office/industrial building is consistent with the existing General Plan, Specific
Plan, and zoning designations for the site.
18-19. Public Utilities Public utilities exist within the right-of-way adjacent to the project and services are
provided to properties in the vicinity at this time.
20-21: Noise and Light and Glare Significant noise impacts and uses are regulated by zoning performance
standards for noise generation. The buildings are setback an adequate distance from adjacent properties with
required landscaping separating and buffering any light or glare impacts that may be created.
22. Rick of Upset Industrial users of the subject industrial/office are subject to Chapters 13.16 and 17
regulating the discharge of industrial waste and potential fire hazards.
23. Population The proposed project is located in the planned industrial zone and will not directly
contribute to increased population.
24. Housing Although the project will add to the supply of jobs which could create an additional demand
for housing, the project is too small in nature to create a significant impact.
-6-
25-29. Transportation/Circulation i'he project is estimated to generatt. dverage daily vehicle trips and all
parking is provided onsite. Access to the site is provided by a fully improved public street.
P /7
30. Emernencv Response Plans The project will not interfere with emergency response plans.
31. Aesthetics The project is designed to be architecturally compatible with the surrounding area and will
be required to provide visual screening through the use of landscaping.
32. Recreation The project will not directly create a demand for any additional recreational facilities nor
does it impact the quality or quantity of existing facilities.

maysrs 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, and
g) no project alternative.
a) The proposed project consists of one industrial building so phased development does not apply.
b) The project complies with all design standards required by the Specific Plan and Planned
Industrial Zone.
c) The scale of development proposed complies with all zoning and specific plan regulations
regarding lot coverage and building height.
d) The proposed use is in compliance with the Planned Industrial Zone and the Specific Plan.
e) The proposed project is located within a Planned Industrial Park where lot subdivision and
grading has already been accomplished.
f) The proposed site is zoned for industrial and office uses.
g) A no project alternative is not consistent with the Specific Plan for Carlsbad Oaks Industrial
Park.

DETERMINATION (To Be Complet,, By The Planning Department)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
X I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be 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 Mitigated 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.
