I/ 0 0 1 2) Uses allowed by the proposed land use designations would compatible with surrounding land uses, as discussed in tl 2 staff report. 3 3) That all significant environmental impacts have been mitigated, the project has been changed so as to mitigatc override these significant impacts as described below: 4 these impacts, or social or economic factors exist which 5 I1 A) Hydrology 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 1 , 16 17 18 19 20 21 1 Impact: Development will result in increased storm flows. Impact: Grading activities could accelerate soil erosion. Impact: Increased sediment loads can lead to clogg: waterways, increased flooding problems , adverse aesl conditions and damage to habitat. Mitigation: The project area has been redt to stay out of natural watercourses to min: these impacts. The specific plan can requ: that grading only be permitted during the ( season, and that permanent landscape plant: are to be planted promptly after grading ic completed. I I B) Archaeological Resources I Impact: Project implementation will disrupt four archaeological sites at their present locations on Mitigation: A qualified archaeologist wil determine the significance of the archaeoll deposits identified on the property throug: test program designed to investigate the s extent depth and contents. Recommended tec will be required in the specific plan by a qualified archaeologist. 22 //// 23 //// 24 I!//// z5 p// 26 I///// 27 /I//// 28 PC RES0 NO. 2191 2. ,.

Mitigation: The County of San Diego has c zone property located just to the south of subject property which could be utilized f emergency landings. Landform/Topography Impact: The proposed project and subsequent gradin operations will result in permanent alterations to existing natural terrain. Mitigation: In accordance with mitigation recommend in the EIR, the specific plan wi require grading controls to minimize impac including creative building siting, follow natural topography in developing pad areas contour grading to blend in with hillsides All grading activities will be carried out the standards and regulations of the City' grading ordinance. 28 PC RES0 NO. 2191 3.

Mitigation: All grading and site preparat activities will be conducted in accordance the City of Carlsbad grading regulations E site specific recommendations of a geotech consultant. Impact: Removal of vegatation during grading activ will expose underlying soils to increased potential erosion by wind and water. Mitigation: To minimize the short term in of increased erosion potential, all gradir areas not suited for construction should k planted with rapidly developing vegetatior soon after construction as practical, as required by the City Grading Ordinance. Impact: Groundshaking could occur from seismic act along one of the active fault zones in the region. Mitigation: All structures will be desigr accordance with the seismic standards of t California Building Code. F) Biological Resources Impact: Development of the project site could degr existing riparian habitat Mitigation: Land use designations were delineated to protect riparian habitat in Space. The specific plan and the City of Carlsbad grading regulations are anticipai provide adequate erosion controls to limil degradation by siltation. ~ G) Circulation i ~ Impact: The project will generate 6,800 trips per nearby roadways .
