^ion.,' .'.•.',A statement of the reasons of theproposed action as contemplated in
the Petition" is as follows:A massive 800.000 square foot re'gional-commercial retail'center
and residential development for
the Green Valley has recently been
proposed. Green Valley is a beauti-
ful north-souitlteorridor«djacenitQ
Batiquitos Lagoon, bordered to thewest by picturesque hillsides and
bluffs covered with rare -maritimechaparral; and to the east ttf lush
riparian habitat surrounding En-ctaitai Creek, a prime tributary toBMicjttitos Lagoon. The area is tj>e
home to endangered, and
threatened bird and plant species
and is recognized by scientists as
having some of the highest habitat
value* ta the entire County of San
Diego. - • ' ' •-.-;South of the proposed Graen Val-ley project, the Kcke family in En-cinitas is moving forward with a
plan to build over 650,000 square
feet of regional commercial shop-
ping centers and over 1.200 residen-
tial units.
Together, the two developments
promise to bring well over 100,000
new car trips each day into and
near.the southern boundaries of
Carlsbad.
Traffic projections for the south-
ern Carlsbad area, as a result of theproject arid others planned for thearea, promise near traffic gridlockfor intersections like La Costa Ave-nue and El Camino Real in the near
future.
The huge traffic increases willexacerbate existing traffic safetyproblems for children attendingschools in the area and for elderlypedestrians.Economic studies show that con-
sumer demand in the area cannotsupport over 1.2 million regionalcommercial square feet. Accor-dingly, developer promises of signi-ficant, new tax revenues to the City
are greatly overstated.
The paving over and develop-ment of over 80 acres of prime agri-cultural land and open space inGreen Valley will permanently des-troy and degrade irreplaceablebiological resources and eliminatelands best suited for continued
agricultural use and open space.
Over development and lack of prop-er planning will also threatenground water quality and quanti-ties as well as water quality in En-cinitas Creek and in Batiquitos La-goon.Herewith submitted-is the com-plete text of the initiative
