GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A PROJECT
MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT
I. DETERMINING SIGNIFICANT EFFECT
(a) The determination of whether a project may have a significant effect on the environment calls for careful judgment on the part of the reviewing agency involved, based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data. definition of significant effect is not possible because the significance of an activity may vary with the setting. For example, an activity which may not be significant in an urban area may be significant in a rural area. There
may be a difference of opinion on whether a particular effect should be considered adverse or beneficial, but
where there is, or anticipated to be, a substantial body of opinion that considers or will consider the effect to
be adverse, the public agency should prepare an EIR to explore the environmental effects involved.
An iron-clad
(b) In evaluating the significance of the environmental effect
of a project, the reviewing agency shall consider both
primary and secondary consequences. Primary consequences are immediately related to the project (the construction
of a new treatment plant may facilitate population growth
in a particular area), while secondary consequences are
related more to primary consequences than to the project itself (an impact upon the resource base, including land,
air, water and energy use of the area in question may result
from the population growth).
(c) A project will normally have a significant effect on the environment if it:
1. Is in conflict with environmental plans and goals that have been adopted by the community where the project is to be located;
2. Substantially affects a rare or endangered species of animal or plant, or habitat of such a species or substantially diminish habitat for fish, wildlife or plants;
3. Causes substantial interference with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species;
4. Has a substantial and demonstrable negative aesthetic effect;
5. Breaches any published national,
standards relating to solid waste or litter control;
state or local
6. Results in a substantial detrimental effect on air or
water quality, or on ambient noise levels for adjoining
areas, or violates any ambient air quality standard:
7. Involves the possibility of contaminating a public water supply system or adversely affecting ground water;
8. Could cause substantial flooding, erosion or siltation;
9. Is subject to major geologic hazards;
10. Could disrupt or adversely affect a prehistoric or historic archaeological site or a property of historic or cultural significance to a community or ethnic or social group; or a paleontological site except as a
part of a scientific study.

Could create a potential public health hazard or
involve the use, production or disposal of materials
which pose a hazard to people or animal or plant
populations in the area affected;
Would convert prime agricultural land to non-
agricultural use or impair the agricultural
productivity of prime agricultural land;
Induce substantial growth or concentration of
population;
Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial
in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system;
Displace a large number of people;
Encourage activities which result in the use of large amounts of fuel, water, or energy:
Use fuel, water, or energy in a wasteful manner;
Increase substantially the ambient noise levels for adjoining areas;
Cause substantial flooding, erosion or siltation:
Expose people or structures to major geological hazards ;
Extend a sewer trunk line with capcity to serve
new development;
2.
22. Could substantially diminish habitat for fish,
wildlife or plants;
23. Could disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an established community;
24. Could create a public health hazard or a potential
public health hazard;
25. Would conflict with established recreational,
educational, religious or scientific uses of
the area:
26. Would violate any ambient air quality standard,
contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation, or expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.
(d) To help determine if the project will cause a
significant effect on the environment, the following
questions should be answered:
1. Does the project significantly change present
uses of the project area?
The project area includes the immediate location
of the project as well as more remote areas that
may be directly or indirectly affected by
construction and/or operation of the project.
2. Will the project affect areas of historical, archaeological or aesthetic value?
The setting of such sites includes surrounding
areas, the nature of which are important to
the understanding and enjoyment of the site
itself.
3. Will the project accelerate the development of adjoining non-urban areas?
Examples include the introduction of facilities such as streets, roads, water mains or sewerage lines in such a manner as to facilitate develop-
ment or intensification of the use of an area.
4. Will the project alter the character of existing
communities?
Examples include, but are not limited to:
3.
Changes in traffic patterns
Effects on access within the community to commercial establishments, schools, parks, etc.
found within the community. Introduction to activities not presently
5. Could the project significantly affect the potential
use, extraction or conservation of a scarce natural resource?
Examples include, but are not limited to:
Developments which effectively preclude the extraction of the region's rock, sand, gravel or other mineral resources.
use of regional national resources in scarce supply.
or availability of regional natural resources
that are in scarce supply.
Uses which effectively preclude the multiple
Activities which tend to diminish the supply
6. Are any of the natural or man-made features in
the project area unique, that is, not found in
other parts of the City, County, State or Nation?
Unique features include those areas, structures, biological phenomena, etc., that exhibit distinguishing characteristics not found in other areas, or only in a small number of other areas. Such features can be either good or bad for human health, safety, comfort or convenience.
11. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
(a) A project shall be found to have a significant effect on
the environment if:
1. The project has the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitate of a fish or wildlife 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 endangered plant or animal,
or eliminate important examples of the major periods
of California history or prehistory.
2. The project has the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals.
4.
111.
3. The project has possible environmental effects
which are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable. As used in the subsection, "cumulatively considerable" 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 projects, and the effects of probable
future projects.
4. The environmental effects of a project will
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
CONSULTATION WITH RESPONSIBLE AGENCIES
When the City is acting as Lead Agency for a project, the
Planning Director shall consult with all other public
agencies involved in carrying out or approving the project
before making his determination regarding significant
effect. Any comments received in response to such con-
sultations shall be considered by the Planning Director
in arriving at his decision.
IV. MULTIPLE OR PHASED PROJECTS
Where an individual project is a necessary precedent for
action on a larger project, or commits the citizen or the
applicant for action on a larger project which would have
significant environmental effects, the Planning Director
shall make his significant effects determination in
terms of the larger project and, when a project is one
of several similiar City projects, he shall consider the
combined effect.

Reducing Delay and Paperwork
In order to ensure that the goals, policies and requirements of the Carlsbad Environmental Protection Ordinance of 1980 are
efficiently and effectively met: to insure that the environmental
review process does not create unnecessary delays and burdens upon
project developers; and to help limit the extra cost that environ- mental review may add to a project, which in turn may add to the
cost to the consumer, including home buyers and renters; the City Council declares that it is the policy of the City to reduce delay and paperwork by:
Integrating the environmental review process into early planning.
Identifying projects which fit within categorical exemptions and
are therefore exempt; from further environmental review,
Using initial studies to identify significant environmental
issues and to narrow the scope of EIRs.
Using a negative declaration when a project not otherwise exempt will not have a significant effect on the environment.
Allowing applicants to revise projects to eliminate possible significant effects on the environment, thereby enabling the pro-
ject to qualify for a negative declaration rather than an
environmental impact report.
Integrating environmental review requirements with other con-
sultation requirements.
Emphasizing consultation before an environmental impact report is prepared, rather than submitting adversary comments on a completed document.
Combining environmental documents with other planning documents.
Eliminating repetitive discussions of the same issues by using environmental impact reports on programs, policies, or plans and tiering from statement of broad scope to those of narrower
scope.
Preparing analytic rather than encyclopedic environmental impact reports.
Mentioning only briefly issues other than significant ones in EIRs.
Writing environmental impact reports in plain language.
Following a clear format for environmental impact reports.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
The impact of each project on energy conservation shall be analyzed
Exhibit shall provide guidelines for such analysis.
This
I. Introduction
The goal of conserving energy implies the wise and efficient use of
energy. The means of achieving this goal include:
(1) Decreasing overall per capita energy consumption,
(2) Decreasing reliance on natural gas and oil, and
(3) Increasing reliance on renewable energy sources.
In order to assure that energy implications are considered in project
decisions, the California Environmental Quality Act requires that EIRs
include a duscussion of the potential energy impacts of proposed pro-
jects, with particular emphasis on avoiding or reducing inefficient,
wasteful and unnecessary consumption of energy.
Energy conservation implies that a project's cost effectiveness be
reviewed not only in dollars, but also in terms of energy requirements.
For many projects, lifetime costs may be determined more by energy
efficiency than by initial dollar costs.
11. EIR Contents
Potentially significant energy implications of a project should be
considered in an EIR. The following list of energy impact possibilities
and potential conservation measures is designed to assist in the prepara-
tion of an EIR. In many instances, specific items may not apply or
additional items may be needed.
A. Project Description may include the following items:
1. Energy-consuming equipment and processes which will be used
during construction, operation, and/or removal of the project.
If appropriate, this discussion should consider the energy
intensiveness of materials and equipment required for the
project.
2. Total energy requirements of the project by fuel type and end use.
3. Energy conservation equipment and design features.
4. Initial and life-cycle energy costs or supplies.
E.
C.
Environmental Setting may include existing energy supplies and
energy use patterns in the region and locality-
Environmental Impacts may include:
1. The project's energy requirements and its energy use efficien-
cies by amount and fuel type for each stage of &he project's
life cycle including construction, operation, maintenance
and/or removal. If appropriate, the energy intensSveness of
materials may b.e discussed.
2. The effects of the project on Local. and regional energy '
supplies and on requirements for additional capacity.
3. The effects of the project on peak and base period demands for
electricity and other forms of energy,
The degree to which the project complies with existing energy
standards .
The effects of the project on energy resources,

5.
D. Mitigation Measures may include:
1. Potential measures to reduce wasteful, inefficient and un-
necessary consumption of energy during construction, operation,
maintenance and/or removal. The discussion should explain why
cettaiil neasures were incorporated in the project'and why other
measures were dismissed.
2. The potential of siting, orientation, and design to minimize
energy consumption.
