1) The City Operations site is physically suitable in sizI
shape to accommodate the proposed land use designation
reasons stated in the staff report.
2) Uses allowed in the proposed land use, planned industr are compatible with the City Operations site and with
surrounding land uses for reasons stated in the staff
report.
3) That development of the county property (OS) is prematl
for reasons stated in the staff report.
4) That development of the county property (OS) at this t
create significant impacts on the environment.
5) That all significant impacts on the City operations si.
been mitigated, the project has been changed so as to
mitigate these impacts, or social or economic factors I
which override these significant impacts as described 1
A. Land Use "."
Impact: The proposed project without adequate sh measures could render the UCSD radio-telescope, 11 on the Dawson-Los Monos Canyon Reserve, unusable.
Mitigation: It is inevitable that developme: gradually encroach closer and closer to this eventually causing its relocation. A specif is required for the subject property and mit measures, such as placing electrical distribl lines underground and installing electrical shielding devices could be provided as part I specific plan.
Impact: The project area could be subject to the of emergency aircraft landings.
Mitigation: The County of San Diego has cle
property located just to the south of the su'
property which could be utilized for emergen
landings. The need to provide appropriate
facilities for the City of Carlsbad override
impact.

Impact: Removal of vegetation during grading act will expose underlying soils to increased potenti,
erosion by wind and water.
Mitigation: All grading and site preparatior
activities will be conducted in accordance wI
City of Carlsbad grading regulations and the
specific recommendations of a geotechnical
consultant.
Mitigation: All structures will be designed
accordance with the seismic standards of the
California Building Code.
Mitigation: To minimize the short term impac
increased erosion potential, all grading area
suited for construction should be planted wit
rapidly developing vegetation as soon after
construct ion as practical.
D) Hydrology
Impact: Development will result in increased stor I water flows.
Impact: Grading activities could accelerate soil
erosion.
Impact: Increased sediment loads can lead to clog
of waterways, increased flooding problems, adverse
aesthetic conditions and damage to habitat.
Mitigation: The project area has been great1
reduced to minimize these impacts. A subsequ specific plan can require that grading only br permitted during the dry season, and that per1
landscape plantings are to be planted promptl! after grading is completed.
