Biological Resources
Impact: Development of the subject property for
residential use could adversely effect sensitive we habitats.
Mitigation: The Master Plan for the development of area will provide restrictions on development adjac to the wetlands. Portions of the remaining wetland
be enhanced to the satisfaction of the Department c and Game. A six foot high chain link fence will be
constructed around the edge of the wetlands area.
Agriculture
Impact: Annexation and future development of the s
without some preservation of the existing agricultu
the hill would be a significant impact based on Cou and State agency policies.
Mitigation: The City of Carlsbad has no exclusive1
agricultural general plan designation, Some of the existing agricultural uses in the floodplain will k retained.
Traffic
Impact: The proposed project will increase the am0 traffic in the area of the project.
Mitigation: There should be no adverse traffic imp
if all roads serving the project and the surroundin neighborhood are constructed to their planned width
Hydrology/Water Quality
Impact: There will be no direct impacts on hydrolog
water quality from the proposed project, however, in or future impacts could occur with development.
Mitigation: The City has placed the Floodplain Over
zone on the portions of the site within the 100 year floodplain. When development plans are approved spe grading requirements may be necessary to protect thi
from urban runoff and sedimentation.
Air Quality
Impact: The project, at developent would result in
incremental impact to regional air quality.
Mitigation: Various mitigation measures such as rid
and transit programs should be included in the maste
plan. Additionally, the need to provide diverse hou types in the City of Carlsbad overrides this impact. Finally, effective long term mitigation must be on a
regional basis,
