This checklist ntifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and 'vides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental ?act Report or Negative Declaration. A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checked to indicate this determination. An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a simificant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insimificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings "YES-sig" and 'YES-insig" respectively. iiscussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under SCUSSEON OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing tigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. w PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT WILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: 1.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE -1 THE PROPOSAL, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: BS E:) NO Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantiauy reduce the habitat of a fish or wild- life species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or en- dangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Does the project have the potential advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively con- siderable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? to achieve short-term, to the dis- X X . X X - -5- w a DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The proposed Conditional Use Permit to allow the storage of automobiles in an existing industrial buildi will have no additional impact on the physical or biological environment. Human Environment All storage of automobiles will be codned to the interior of the building and danger from explosion due potentially hazardous materials will be regulated by Chapters 13.16 and 17 of the Carlsbad Municipal Coc Parking and circulation impacts as well as additional traffic generated by the project have been previous considered during environmental review for the Planned Industrial Permit issued in 1989. The project w be conditioned so that the need for parking will be no greater than the 53 spaces provided on site. The project’s location within a Planned Industrial Park ensures that no views or recreational uses a impacted. -6- e v LYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative. The proposed Conditional Use Permit is for the storage of automobiles in an existing industrial building. Therefore, items a through c and e through g are not applicable. Alternate uses - The proposed use will be conditioned to ensure its compatibility with existing and future uses within the Carlsbad Oaks Business Park as required by Specific Plan 200. -7- v DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department) On the basis of this initial evaluation: X I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATW DECLARATION will be prepared. - I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there wI not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative Declaration will be proposed. - I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTF IMPACT REPORT is required. 10- /- 78 Date I /o- 1 a 73 Date Signature L* /7 / z AH:lV0 LIST MITIGATING MEASURES (IF APPLICABLE) ATTACH MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM (IF APPLICABLE] -8- 0 * 'PLICANT CONCURRENCE WITH MITIGATING MEASURES THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT 1 HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE MITIGATING MEASURES AND CONCUR WITH THE ADDITION OF THESE MEASURES TO THE PROJECT.
