These impacts would be difficult or imp to fully mitigate. 2) The proposed general plan amendment would permit a use could be more appropriately located in another area. 3) The proposed general plan amendment should be denied be of significant environmental impacts that cannot be ful mitigated. A. Land Use The proposed general plan amendment could result in incompatible land uses being located in close proxi This could be partially mitigated by requiring futu residential development to maintain a 30-40 foot la setback from the edge of the bluff above the propos Waste facility. Future residential development wit feet of the site could be required to have CC&R's a information acknowledging the prescence of Coast Wa Management's facilities. Staff has strong concerns how effective these mitigation measures would be in preventing complaints from future residents in the 7 of the proposed development. B. Traffic Circulation The uses allowed by the proposed general plan amend] zone change will result in large, heavy, slow movinc trucks accessing Poinsettia Lane from the site. Th be partially mitigated by providing slow truck lane, additional pavement thickness and signs warning of moving trucks. This poter?tial mitigation measure CI difficult to implement if the future alignment of Poinsettia Lane did not go through the applicant's property. If this were the case, another property 1 would be required to dedicate extra right-of-way an1 provide extra street improvements to benefit the prl use. The proposed use would also result in all of ( Waste Management's trucks driving through a residenl area on to Poinsettia Lane, a major arterial going 1 a residential area. Nothing could be done to mitigi impact of large numbers of trash trucks going throuc future residential area. //// ~ //// I 1 PC RES0 NO. 2442 -2- \ 0 a I // C.

All maintenance cc required to be done indoors and outdoor public addri systems could be prohibited. Staff believes it wou difficult enforcement problem to make sure that all maintenance was done indoors and that no outdoor pu address systems were installed. D. Biology Future development by uses permitted by the propose( general plan amendment and zone change would elimin, existing natural habitat on this site. The native vegetation on this site has no biological significa. regional basis due to its limited extent, E. Drainage The proposed Coast Waste Management facility could adversely impact downstream water quality. This COI partially mitigated by the construction of an oil, 1 and fuel trap adjacent to the maintenance area and rack adjacent to the public storm drain system. Thl rack would not stop leachate/liquor from trash cont' or washdown. This waste water could only be contro. through an onsite holding tank and/or purification The construction and maintenance of this holding ta and/or purification system would be costly and diff for the city to monitor. F. Archeology and Paleontology There is some potential for archeological resources on this site and a greater potential for paleontolo1 resources. An archeologist and a paleontologist shc monitor grading activities. 22 //// Ii 23 //// I/ 24 //// /I 25 11 //// 26 //// !I 27 //// 28 PC RES0 NO. 2442 -3- . , *, 1 a a 2 // PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of " Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, California, held 26th day of June, 1985, by the following vote, to wit: 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 AYES : Chairman Schlehuber, Commissioners: L' Heur, Marcus , McFadden, Smith, Rombotis & Hall.
