The following items constitute the Planning Commission environmental findings for this project, The mitigation measures listed below have been incorporated into the proposed project over this property which reduce the identified impacts to insignficant levels. A. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION - Impact: The project by itself, will not result in significant impacts to the traffic circulation system. However , traffic generated by approved and planned projects in the area will result in cumulative significant impacts to the circulation system. - Mitigation: The proposed project will construct College Boulevard across the property and widen Palomar Airport Road and Hidden Valley Road adjacent to the property boundaries. The project will also signalize the intersections of Palomar Airport Road and Hidden Valley Road, contribute 50% of the cost of signalizing the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and College Boulevard, and participate in the City's bridge and thoroughfare district, Implementation of these measures will adequately mitigate all proportionate project traffic impacts. B. LAND USE - Impact: Adverse impacts to land use include (1 1 compatibility with the proposed Macario Canyon Park, (2 1 potentially significant crash hazard and noise impacts associated with Palomar Airport and (3) non-compliance with Mello I1 Local Coastal Program resource preservation policies. - Mitigation: Compatibility impacts associated with Macario Canyon Park have been mitigated through provisions of Specific Plan 199 which require that all industrial lots adjacent to Macario Canyon Park be fully landscaped along their perimeters. Potential noise and crash hazard impacts from Palomar Airport have been mitigated by conditioning through the Specific Plan that structures upon lots 19, 22, 23, and 24 be b. e 0 restricted to certain uses and lot coverages as follows: a) Warehouses - maximum 75% lot coverage b) Offices - maximum 35% lot coverage No storage or manufacture of explosives or highly flammable materials will be allowed on these lots. The Planning Director must approve all uses proposed on these lots. These provisions will adequately mitigate the identified land use impacts. Special construction measures have also been incorporated to mitigate internal noise to acceptable levels, The project as proposed has been redesigned to come into compliance with slope and resource preservation policies of the Mello I1 Local Coastal Program policies. C. AIR QUALITY Impact: Development of the property with industrial uses will result in an incremental addition to the regional emission of air pollutants. Mitigation: Project specific air quality impacts can be mitigated through the implementation of various air quality strategies including the use of carpools, mass transit and other industrial energy conservation measures as stated in the RAQS. Effective long term mitigation can only be accomplished on a regional basis, D. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Impact: Implementation of the proposed project would impact several areas of sensitive coastal sage scrub habitat located across the property. This impact would be significant in that it would continue to reduce regionally this sensitive wildlife habitat which is located within the coastal zone. Mitigation: The tentative map has been redesigned to maintain a 4 .I acre area of coastal sage scrub habitat in open space. Otherwise the project is in compliance with all Local Coastal Program sensitive resource policies. -2- L. e * E. TOPOGRAPHY AND VISUAL AESTETICS Impact: Impacts to landform will result from grading of the site into manufactured pads and slopes, These visual impacts will be significant to auto traffic along Palomar Airport Road, Mitigation: The tentative map has been designed to avoid large manufactured slopes along Palomar Airport iioad. The slopes that will exist along Palomar Airport Road have been reduced to a maximum gradient of 3:l to soften their appearance. The other manufactured slopes along College Boulevard and throughout the center of the property have been undulated from 2 :I to 3 :I to accomplish this same affect. In addition these slopes will be fully landscaped to mitigate visual impacts of development. F. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY Impact: Project implementation will result in increased runoff, sediment load and altered chemical content of runoff. Mitigation: These impacts will be mitigated through the incorporation of detention basins and drainage facilities to control runoff . In addition, a maintenance program to remove debris from paved surfaces will be implemented to reduce chemical contaminants associated with runoff. G. GEOLOGY AND SOILS Impact: Development of the property could be impacted by potential hazards resulting from unstable soils, secondary seismic effects and erosion. Mitigation: A detailed soils study will be submitted with grading plans . At that time specific mitigations will be recommended relative to any soils impacts identified. -3-
