I , PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, California, held on the 17th day. of September, 1986, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: NOES: ABSENT : ABSTAIN: CLARENCE SCHLEHUBER, Chairman CARLSBAD PLANNING COMMISSION ATTEST: MICHAEL J. ROLZMILLER PLANNING CIRECTOR PC RES0 NO. 2616 -2- 5- fQ The following items constitute the Planning Commission's environmental findings for this Project. The mitigation measures listed below describe the project changes which reduce these impacts to insignficant levels. A. TRAPPIC CIRCULATION Impact: An increase in trip8 will result from the proposed alternative because commercial use typically has higher generation rate than residential. Mitigation: The additional trip8 can be accommodated with the (1) construction of Monroe Street as a secondary arterial with additional deceleration/acceleration lanes serving the commercial center, (2) upgrading of the signal light at Warron/Monroe intersection, (3 1 bond and prepare plana for a traffic signal at Street .Aa of the Commercial center entrance and Monroe Street for when a future signal is warranted. Impact: Hosp way, and Jefferson Street west of Marron, will have a level of Service F with the trips generated by the proposed project. Mitigation: These two roadway segments are classified as residential streets with a maximum of 500 ADT, which is already exceeded by existing ADT. These streets can be reclassified as Collector streets to accommodate existing and future ADT. Impact: The grading operation for Parcel E will require export of 124,000 cubic yards of dirt which could have a short-term impact on surrounding streets. Mitigation: The use of cutoffs and flagmen will help to minimize impacts at the Marron/Monroe intersection. Such condition will be part of the final grading plan approval. B. Impact: TOPOGRAPHY AND VISUAL AESTHETICS Parcel D -- Adverse impacts would occur in that the existing slope above Yarron Road would be cut down 30 feet, no buffer of trees would be retained, and three-story buildings were within 15 feet of the edge of the slope. Mitigation: The project was redesigned to maintain the existing landform, provide a 50-foot tree buffer plus tree planting on the slopes, and has Located buildings in the interior of the site. Impact: Parcel E -- The landform Will be significantly altered -- an existing 90 foot high knoll and associated 40% slope will be cut down; and regraded slopes up to 40 feet in height will be created to accommodate flat pads necessary for commercial development. Mitigation: The proposed project allows preservation of 14.5 acres of Rosp Grove. A vigorous landscape program will be required to replant the graded slopes behind the buildings and a compatible landscape theme will be used in the commercial center. The architecture and building materials will be compatible with the surrounding grove. Impact: Parcel F -- Residential development according to the Master Plan will result in significant impacts due to the site's visible location and its proximity to the lagoon. Mitigation: The proposed open space use will mitigate all visual impacts. C. AR CR AEOLOG Y Impact: Archaeological sites are located on all three parcels and will be affected by development on Parcels D and E. Mitigation: Appropriate conditions have been placed on the project to satisfy state requirements for archaeological mitigation, i.e. a data recovery program. D. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Impact: As an indirect impact to the habitats in Buena Vista Lagoon, runoff and sedimentation could potentially impact the lagoon. Mitigation: Appropriate erosion-control and grading procedures have been conditioned on the projects. -2- E. PUBLIC SERVICES Impact: school facilities are at or near capacity. Mitigation: Only one of the three parcels will be developed residentially; school impact fees will be required to be paid to allow the School District to provide temporary facilities for overcrowding. Impact: Police services will be incrementally impacted. Mitigation: Additional personnel and equipment will offset the increase in population and new areas of patrolling. Impact: The City Library is currently at book capacity. Mitigation: Additional Library facilities will be provided as part of the City's future Capital Improvement program. F. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY Impact: Potential increases in erosion and sediment production will occur during grading and construction. Mitigation: Erosion control measures must be shown on final grading plans and approved by the City. Drainage and sediment contr.01 facilities will be installed prior to grading. Landscape conditions include a 5 year bond to ensure that tree plantings and other landscape elements are growing successfully. Also, the City's street sweeping program will include the project area after it develops. Impact: Removal of the existing desiltation basin could cauae sedimentation impacts to the lagoon if upstream problems are not controlled when it is t emoved . Mitigation: A temporary desiltation basin will be built in the southern portion of Parcel E to control existing offsfte erosion problems. It will remain in place until erosion of the adjacent property is controlled satisfactorily to the City. -3- G. GEOLOGY AND SOILS Impact: Portions of the property are encumbered by geological constraints, including settlement, slope instability, groundwater, dewatering, and seismic shaking. Mitigation: AS part of the grading plan approval, the recommendations of the geotechnical study will be implemented. The study will be updated as necessary to reflect the proposed commercial development instead of the former residential project. Additional subsurface investigation and engineering analysis also is required as part of the final design. A. AIR QUALITY Impact: Development of Parcels D and E will contribute air pollutant emissions to the San Diego Air Basin. Mitigation: Public transit facilities, i.e. a bus stop will be provided. Sidewalk improvements will allow pedestrian access to the commercial center from nearby residential areas. The Grading Ordinance requires dust control measures to be used during construction. -4- il Resolution No. 8848 * 1 11 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2620 ll I !I 3 j; A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIAt RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN RMR (RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM HIGH) 8-15 DU/AC TO OS (OPEN SPACE) GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF JEFFERSON STREET AND MARRON ROAD.
