ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct a
Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environmen
The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checkli:
identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project an
provides the City with infokmation to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environment:
[mpact Report or Negative Declaration.
$c A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project o
any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checkel
to indicate this determination.
.'- An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of th
project may cause a siRnificant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negativ
Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemel
insinnificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings '"YES-sig" and !'YES-insig
respectively.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form unde
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussin,
mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

[LL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: as YES NO (msig)
1. Does the project have the potential
to substantially degrade the quality
of the environment, substantially
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.
4, Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the dis-
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.)
35. 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
effects of other current projects, and
the effects of probable future projects.)

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Phvsical Environment
1. The site was previously graded to create the two existing pads. The Soils Report submitted for th,
project indicates that a large amount of fill was required to create this lot in 1977. Approximate1
20,000 cubic yards of earth will be cut, 10,000 cubic yards filled, and 10,000 cubic yards exported 01
site to create a level building pad so that there are no ramps or steps required between buildings an1
to create the underground parking garage. The applicant will have to obtain a haul route permit fror
the Engineering Department.
2. The proposed grading concept will not appreciably change the topography as the northern portion o
the site will be lowered in elevation approximately 12 feet at the northeast corner with the southen
portion of the site being raised three to six feet.
3. The project provides significant perimeter landscaping and an onsite drainage system containin)
numerous catch basins and concrete drainage swales to reduce the amount and rate of surface wate:
runoff. Approximately 53 percent of the site will be landscaped so as to not significantly affec.
absorption rates.
4. As stated previously, the project site will contain a drainage system which will convey all drainage
water leaving the site into the existing approved storm drain system in Manzanita Street. The amount
of runoff leaving the site will not have a significant impact as 53 percent of the site will be landscaping
so as to reduce the amount of impervious surface on site.
5. The project will generate additional vehicle trips that will produce emissions which will add
incrementally to a deterioration in ambient air quality. The project operation will include a shuttle bus
to take project residents to various events and appointments which will reduce the incidence of single
occupant vehicle trips.
5. The project will not create objectionable odors as the use functions like a residential project. Trash will
be contained inside the building in the area on the site plan labeled as "trash room" which is located
in the center of the site. The pad level of the project site is located primarily below the level of adjacent streets which will help maintain air movement in addition to the 100 foot s.D.G.&E. easement which will be free of large obstructions to air movement.
7. The project will not substantially change the course or flow of water as drainage from the site will be
directed into the existing storm drain system in Manzanita Street. The project design has reduced the
amount of impervious surface created to the greatest extent feasible.
3. Runoff from this project is conveyed to environmentally sensitive areas. The developer is required to
provide adequate means of eliminating grease and oils from drainage prior to discharge. The proposed
grading plan contains a parking lot grease interceptor. Plans for these required improvements shall be
approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance of any building permits for the site in order to mitigate
the potential impact.
1. The site has been previously graded. No natural resources exist on site.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (cont’dl
10. The project will not use substantial amounts of fuel or energy. Food will be provided and served at
common dining facility. The project is in close walking distance of commercial/governmental facilitie
and a shuttle bus will be operated to provide group transportation for project residents.
11. There is no evidence of archeological, paleontological or historical resources on this site as it has bee
previously graded and the soils report provided indicates that the present site elevation is the result c
a significant amount of fill. No structures exist on the property.
22. There is no environmentally significant plant life on site as it has been previously graded. Existin,
vegetation consists primarily of weeds and grasses.
13. Because the project site contains no environmentally significant plant life, the introduction of the plar
species indicated on the proposed landscape plan will not create an adverse impact.
14. No agricultural crops are grown on the project site which is in an urbanized area and of a size whic
is not large enough to support agricultural activities.
15. Due to the disturbed nature of the site as well as its location adjacent to major roadways an
surrounding development, very little animal life exists on site.
16. The type of residential development proposed for the project site is not anticipated to add additiona
domestic animals to the project site and vicinity.
Human Environment
17. The proposed Professional Care Facility is permitted by the existing zoning designation of RD-R
provided the findings to grant a Conditional Use Pennit can be made. The General Plan Designatio!
for the site of RM (Medium Density, 4-8 DU/AC) permits the proposed building type. The Housin
Element contains goals to provide for a variety of housing types which are compatible with adjacen
development and have convenient access to facilities and services. The proposed use satisfies thesc
goals. The proposed design provides adequate perimeter setbacks to provide a buffer from adjacen
uses.
18. The project is located in Local Facilities Management Zone 6. Services will be provided through thr
implementation of that zone plan.
19. The developer for the project is required to submit a report detailing the condition of the Ayes sewe:
trunkline. Any necessary repair or reconstruction of the Ayes sewer trunkline shall be completed prio
to occupancy of any portion of the project unless adequate capacity is demonstrated to exist tc
accommodate the project and an agreement and appropriate security is accepted by the City.
(This requirement has recently been completed by another developer and all necessary repairs haw
been made. 2-25-91)

DISCUSSlON OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (cont'd)
20. A report titled, "Acoustical Analysis of the Seniors Community Center, Tract No. 72-34 In Carlsbac
dated March 21, I989 and updated December 12, 1990 was prepared by Richard Colia, Acoustic
Consultant pursuant to Planning Department Administrative Policy No. 17. The conclusions of tl
report were that project traffic will not significantly increase existing noise levels. Outdoor areas of tl
project will be impacted by projected noise levels of 65 to 67 dB CNEL and less from adjace:
roadways. The principle outdoor living areas within the project are set back significant distances fro]
adjacent roadways and benefit from building shielding so that projected noise levels will be mitigate
to 56.8 dB CNEL for future roadway noise sources, less than the 60 dB CNEL maximum permitted.
The required glazing for the project to meet the state and City interior noise criteria of 45 dB CNEL
as fallows:
a. Standard single strength glass, or windows with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 22 (
greater (all windows on all elevations of all units of the project).
b. All sliding glass doors (SGD) should be 3/16 inch glass.
c. All entry doors should be 1 3/4 inch solid core.
Interior noise levels with these recommendations are calculated to be less than 45 dB CNEL with door
and windows closed. Since windows and doors must be closed to meet the interior noise standarc
mechanical ventilation must be provided in units shaded on the attached site plan of the project whic
meets the air change requirements of the UBC. Where windows are required to be unopenable or ke1
closed in order to meet the interior noise standards, mechanical ventilation and cooling, if necessaq
shall be provided to maintain a habitable environment. The system shall supply two air changes pe
hour to each habitable room including 20% (one-fifth) fresh make-up air obtained directly from th
outdoors. The fresh air inlet duct shall be of sound attenuating construction and shall consist of
minimum of ten feet of straight or curved duct or six feet plus one sharp 90 degree bend.
21. The proposed final site grades and site design reduces light and glare impacts to adjacent propertie:
Proposed lighting standards will be a maximum height of 12 feet and pedestrian light bollards at
height of 3'-6" are also proposed to further reduce the potential for offsite light and glare impacts.
22. The project will not store or require the use of hazardous substances in the daily operation of thc
facility.
23. The proposed use will result in a higher population for the site in comparison to the expectec
population from development of the site with residential housing units under the applicable Genera
Plan designation. Under the General Plan a maximum of 23 residential units could be permitted
Utilizing a factor of 2.471 persons per dwelling unit equals a total of 57 persons for the property. Thl proposed project will contain 146 one bedroom units and 24 two bedroom units. The result will bl
a total of 194 persons for the property. The increased population can be facilitated on site from '
public facilities standpoint' therefore the impact is not considered to be significant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (cont’d)
24. The project will provide an alternative form of housing for senior citizens, thereby fulfilling policies o
the Housing Element directed at providing a greater diversity of housing types.
25. The project will generate additional vehicular trips over what the Local Facilities Management Plan fo
Zone 6 projected for the site. A Tr&c Impact Analysis was prepared for the project focusing on th’
intersection of Alga Road and El Camino Real. The additional trips generated by the Professional Can
Facility Project will be offset by projects in the zone that were approved for fewer units than anticipate(
by the zone plan. To mitigate impacts caused by the project, the developer will be required tc
participate in the reconstruction of the Alga Road/El Camino Real intersection as required by the Zonc
6 Local Facilities Management Plan. This includes dedicating land for an additional lane on the project’
Alga Road and El Camino Real f’rontages and constructing the corresponding improvements.
26. The project proposes parking in excess of that required by the City‘s Zoning Ordinance. The majorit
of the parking will be contained in an underground parking garage with surface parking proposed fo
the use of employees and visitors.
27. As stated under number 25, the project is required to dedicate land and construct improvements to Alg:
Road and El Camino Real to mitigate impacts to the existing circulation system.
28, The project will not alter waterborne, rail or air traffic as the site is not located in close proximity tc
a navigable waterway or a rail line. In addition, the project is outside the airport influence area fo
McClellan-Palomar Airport.
29. The project will reduce the potential for traffic hazards by constructing the required vehicular, bicyclc
and pedestrian improvements identified on the project plans.
30. The project will not interfere with emergency response plans as it will make improvements to the
existing circulation system in the vicinity of the project to facilitate buildout traffic conditions.
Il. The project’s topographic, architectural and landscape site design results in a sensitive aesthetic
treatment of the site which is compatible with surrounding projects. In addition, the project complie!
with the development standards and design theme of the El Camino Real Corridor Developmen
Standards.
32. The project includes onsite recreation facilities including a pool, croquet court, health walk course,
reflection pond and other outdoor passive recreation areas. Indoor recreation areas will be provided
in the community center building.

ALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTEZRNATNES TO THIE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS:
a) Phased dlevelopment of the project,
b) ahernate site designs,
c) alternate scale of development,
d) al.ternate uses for the site,
e) development at some future time rather than now,
f> alternate sites for the proposed, and
g) n13 project alternative.
2 project proposes development of a 170 unit Professional Care Facility for senior citizens on a 5.1 acre
'. This type of project is commonly referred to as a Congregate Care Facility. Assist:ed living facilities will
provided as well as a community center,, pool, reflection pond, tea house, walking course, and an
lerground parking garage. The site has been previously graded and consists of two pads with a slope of
feet between them. To the north of the site is Alga Road and the Plaza Paseo Real
mmercial/Governmental Center. To the south are single family residences and to t:he west is the 36 unit
lport Villas condominium project. To the east is Ell Camino Real and multiple family units. The project
; been designed to be compatible with adjacent uses as it is surrounded on three sides by public streets and
.OO foot building; setback will be providedl from properties to the south due to an existing S.D.G.&E.
;ement.
a) Phasing of the project would not be an environmentally superior alternative as site grading,
infrastructure and amenities would need to be completed in their entirety for even a portion of the
project reducing ;any benefits derived from phasing. In addition, the entire site has been previously
graded and contains no significant natural resources.
b) Alternate site designs have been con.sidered both with the current amendment being requested and
during review of the originally proposed Conditional Use Permit. Previous, proposals were for as
many as 206 rooms. The present design which consists of 170 rooms all having interior access to
the cornrnunity 'center building provides a superior site design which functions in a manner
conducive to the age group that will reside in the completed project.
c) The prop'osed scde of development is less than previous designs as mentioned under section "b"
above. The proposed project design and scale of development complies with. or exceeds all City
requirements and can be accommodated osn the site as no significant unmitigable environmental
impacts will be created.
d) Alternate uses for the site would typically consist of medium density residential uses such as small
lot single family homes or townhouses, duplexes, triplexes and low density apartment developments
pursuant to the RM (Medium Dens'ity) land use classification of the Gene:ral Plan. The Housing
Element provide!; policy direction for the City to provide a variety of housing types which is a goal
this project helps to meet. The proposed use is allowed in the RDM zone through the issuance of
a Conditional Use Permit.
-,lo-
e 0
ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS:
e) Development at some future time rather than now would leave the site undeveloped. This WOI
be inconsistent with the General Plan and zoning designations for the site as well as the resideni
land use guidelines which encourage multi-family uses to locate near commercial centers wh,
public facilities and infrastructure will be available to accommodate the proposed use. Developmc
at some future time would not provide additional housing opportunities to meet the goals of
Housing Element.
f) Alternative sites for professional care facilities can be found within the City as they are a permit
use or require a Conditional Use Permit in the R-3, R-P, RD-M and C-2 zones. They can also
permitted in the P-C zone if a Master Plan provides for it. Alternate sites may not pres
environmental benefits or have the advantage of being in close proximity to
commercial/governmental center.
g) The no project alternative would retain the previously graded lot bordered by development or
sides in a vacant condition which is inconsistent with the General Plan and zoning designations
the site.

DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
- I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATW
DECLARATION will be prepared.
x t find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there W: 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 ENVIRONMENTA IMPACT REPORT is required.
